Chapter 403: Chapter 402: Harsh Words
The moment after observing the Monata being split in two by the indigo sword light, the explosion’s flames followed.
Watching this "splendid firework" formed by the pride of the Monan people, the white-robed Monan collapsed to the ground as if petrified.
In fact, in their mythology, the Monata is somewhat similar to the Tower of Babel in human religious tales.
The difference is that the latter was built by humans to challenge divine power, while in Monan mythology, they built the Monata to meet the great God.
Of course, later, as the Monan people entered the interstellar age, they named their first interstellar battleship using curvature engines Monata, not to meet a god, but as a beautiful hope.
With technological development, the Monan people naturally increased their investment for interstellar colonization, building more interstellar battleships equipped with curvature engines.
By now, this Monata holds more symbolic significance than actual meaning.
If it were just like this, the white-robed Monan in front, although still shocked by Lv Bai’s displayed power, would not be left in such a state of utter disarray.
The reason is that the only interstellar battleship currently deployed by the Monan people near Earth is Monata.
After all, with the various weapons installed on Monata, it could theoretically suppress all humans on Earth, with plenty of strength left over.
In this situation, naturally, there was no need to deploy more forces on Earth.
Who could have thought that from among humans would suddenly emerge a freak like Lv Bai, who could withstand Monata’s attack head-on and destroy it on the spot?
The vastness of astronomical scale needs no elaboration.
Even with curvature engine technology, it would take Monan people some time to dispatch other starships to Earth.
This means, in the meantime, they will completely lose control over Earth.
Not to mention with the abilities Lv Bai has shown, the white-robed Monan does not believe for a moment that Lv Bai will choose to pass this time quietly.
After a long while, the white-robed Monan finally came back to his senses.
Although he was not there in person and didn’t have to worry about his own safety, facing the near-collapse situation, he seriously doubted whether he would end up before a colonial temporary court if he managed to return to the Mona Star.
The main problem was he didn’t even know what exactly he did wrong.
When they confirmed a dark horse appeared in the Deathmatch System rankings, they promptly conducted a probe, quickly pinpointing Lv Bai’s location and dispatched inspectors to the Underground City to prematurely eliminate him.
One must admit, the Monan people responsible for monitoring humans reacted swiftly.
Ultimately, Lv Bai’s speed of progress was just irrationally fast.
Within less than half a year, he evolved rapidly from an underdog in a Death Battle Campus to a monster leaving them helpless.
During this short time, the majority of formal Death Fighters hadn’t even engaged in a single deathmatch.
"You win."
The white-robed Monan looked venomously at Lv Bai lying flat on the ground: "But you shouldn’t have done this, you don’t even realize what kind of existence you have angered."
Lv Bai ignored the white-robed Monan’s harsh words.
To ensure no accidents, he exerted all his strength to unleash that ranged attack.
Now completely exhausted, he lay flat in the dirt, motionless.
He didn’t have the energy to speak, only the rise and fall of his chest with his breath proving he was still alive.
Even though Lv Bai now appeared so weak that it seemed anyone could chop off his head with a knife,
None of the gathered Speakers and their followers present, nor the white-robed Monan who suffered no substantial damage, dared to try such a thing.
The people present, feeling complicated, found themselves at a loss whether to stand or sit, helplessly watching Lv Bai.
Especially the Speakers of these settlements, who had just been flattering the Monans for half the day, only to find themselves facing such a situation, utterly unsure of what to say.
It’s worth mentioning that Dabiao, who had been most sycophantic toward the white-robed Monan, couldn’t have anticipated such a dramatic turn of events and now appeared jubilant.
In his view, he was at least half in Lv Bai’s camp now.
Although it’s unreasonable to expect a sudden rise in fortune, surely he could preserve his life.
Dabiao completely ignored the white-robed Monan’s fiery gaze, nonchalantly squatting down beside Lv Bai.
He earnestly massaged Lv Bai’s legs while praising Lv Bai’s performance with a beaming smile, so naturally it seemed he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind.
Unfortunately, Lv Bai, maintaining his Steel Body, couldn’t feel Dabiao’s strength at all.
After recovering some strength, Lv Bai turned his head towards the white-robed Monan, sincerely inquiring: "If you are not considering suicide, why don’t you talk to me again?"
It was this genuine attitude that finally broke the white-robed Monan’s composure.
Unable to maintain face and remain here any longer, the white-robed Monan finally abandoned his body, as if a loss of will to support it, his frame collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Without needing Lv Bai’s prompt, Dabiao perceptively stepped forward to check the situation.
After confirming the body showed no signs of life, he inexplicably pulled out a small knife from somewhere, scoring the white-robed Monan’s body a few times, as if it were a crime scene for some dire serial killer.
"Boss, he’s really dead now."
...
After roughly half a day of buffering, Lv Bai’s stamina had almost fully recovered.
However, he did not relax, keeping his Steel Body ability active the whole time.
After all, as the white-robed Monan never divulged any of this information, Lv Bai was unaware that his Flying Slash had destroyed the only interstellar battleship the Monan deployed on Earth.
Having seen the bizarre, powerful technological means of the Monan, he didn’t dare lower his guard.
"Now, who knows how many Monan people are across the globe? Please raise your hand to answer."
Lv Bai sat atop a dirt mound, while in front of him, all nine Speakers from the settlements stood obediently, fearful of incurring his displeasure.
Unfortunately, for these settlement Speakers, his question was indeed beyond their scope.
From beginning to end, they had only interacted with that particular white-robed Monan, and except for reporting here, they weren’t permitted to leave to explore, so the intelligence they possessed wasn’t likely more extensive than Lv Bai’s.
