Chapter 1071: The Death of the Sea Titan King (Part 1)
"I can't go and provide support," Su Yu shook his head immediately.
"Why not?" Zhong Feng frowned, puzzled.
"This is a long story... How about this, I'll take over your position as the battlefield commander, and you go to the location you mentioned to provide support. We can chat in detail through our mental connection during that time."
"Alright," Zhong Feng agreed without hesitation.
He then left his position as the overall commander and headed to the coordinates he had mentioned to provide support.
Su Yu returned to the overall commander's position, familiarizing himself with the battlefield situation while using his mental power to tell Zhong Feng about the events that had transpired in the subspace.
As he listened to Su Yu's account, Zhong Feng quickly understood the situation.
It turned out that Su Yu and Mona had made an agreement to both stay out of the fight!
The agreement to "both stay out of the fight" sounded quite reasonable! Zhong Feng stroked his chin, thinking.
With both Su Yu and Mona staying out of the fight, Su Yu could still serve as the war's overall commander and continue to shine, while Mona would be rendered useless!
On the balance, this agreement was definitely advantageous for the Blue Planet side!
Moreover, as Mona had said, this approach was also beneficial in preventing a potential rebellion by the Dark Energy forces.
If he were in their position, he would have agreed to this proposal without hesitation.
Thus, he immediately responded to Su Yu, expressing his agreement with this decision.
...
Hearing Zhong Feng's approval, Su Yu felt a bit more at ease. He began to ask Zhong Feng about the events that had transpired in the outside world over the past half hour.
Zhong Feng did not hesitate. As he made his way to the support point, he provided a detailed account of the events that had occurred in the past half hour and the current situation at the Xuanwu Node.
He focused on the deployment of the Skrull side's god-tier powerhouses and the status of their forces, helping Su Yu get back into the swing of command.
Su Yu carefully noted down everything Zhong Feng said and fully applied it to his command.
After this communication, Su Yu didn't forget about the First Emperor at the Qinglong Node.
The situation there was too bizarre!
Why was the First Emperor standing in the air with his eyes closed? What about Manina III? Where were his forces? Where had all those people gone?
Su Yu immediately asked Zhong Feng about this.
Zhong Feng promptly answered Su Yu's question.
However, his answer was a huge surprise to Su Yu!
Zhong Feng explained, "Manina III is not dead. He and his forces have retreated to the Fuji Mountain Base and are recuperating there. However, another god-tier powerhouse died in his place."
"Another god-tier died in his place? Who was it?"
"It was the Sea Titan King," Zhong Feng said with a serious expression. "Here's what happened..."
Zhong Feng then provided a detailed account of the events that had transpired at the Qinglong Node.
It turned out that about half an hour ago, when Su Yu had just entered the subspace, a major battle had erupted at the Qinglong Node.
The combatants, of course, were the First Emperor and Manina III, with Manina III leading his forces to assist in the attack.
However, most of Manina III's forces were just there for show, and the main offensive power was still Manina III himself.
At the Qinglong Node, apart from the First Emperor and Manina III, no other god-tier powerhouses or their forces were involved. Given that Manina III's forces were essentially just for show, the node effectively became a one-on-one duel.
Once it became a "duel," the nature of the battle changed!
Both were the apex beings of their respective planets.
The First Emperor was the strongest on the Blue Planet side, far more powerful than even Su Yu and Cao Chengxiang;
Manina III, while not as strong as Plank, was still a peak god-tier powerhouse. He was proud and did not consider himself inferior to the First Emperor.
In this "duel" atmosphere, both were immediately driven by the desire to determine the victor.
Without much ado, both unleashed their full strength, aiming to quickly overwhelm the other.
The First Emperor displayed his unparalleled skills as the strongest sword cultivator on the Blue Planet. The two powerful sword auras of Ding Qin and Tai Ah sliced through the air, effortlessly shattering the space before the node;
Manina III did not back down.
He activated his formidable protective aura, combined with top-tier defensive equipment, attempting to withstand the First Emperor's attacks.
However, reality quickly showed him that the First Emperor's attacks were not so easy to withstand.
Upon the first contact, Manina III felt an immense pressure. The First Emperor's sword techniques were incredibly powerful!
The First Emperor's sword techniques were relentless, one after another, each more terrifying than the last!
Manina III, who had lived for 2,000 years, had never seen such a powerful attack! Even in terms of attack strength, Plank was no match for the First Emperor, perhaps even a tier below!
Faced with such powerful sword techniques, Manina III was caught off guard.
His sturdy defenses were gradually torn apart, and this immediately made him consider retreating.
However, during the process of retreating, Manina III also felt the difficulty of backing down.
After all, the battle had just begun!
If he retreated so soon after the fight started, what would happen to the morale of his own troops? How would the divine-grade warriors and their subordinates view him? How would he control the entire battle?
These thoughts flashed through his mind one after another. From these thoughts, he quickly came to a conclusion—he couldn't retreat! Even if he had to retreat, he couldn't do it now!
If he retreated right after the fight started, it would lead to a complete collapse of the battle!
Thus, Manina III chose not to retreat.
Emperor Qin's attacks remained relentless, wave after wave, each one causing Manina III's heart to race with fear.
However, he could only grit his teeth and endure Emperor Qin's brutal damage, planning to hold on and then find a way to retreat if he couldn't bear it any longer.
What Manina III didn't realize was that his actions were actually giving Emperor Qin an opportunity! An opportunity to deal a severe blow or even kill him!
What Emperor Qin was most worried about wasn't Manina III fighting back, but rather Manina III retreating in advance.
Emperor Qin's top priority was to hold the Azure Dragon node. Therefore, he couldn't leave the Azure Dragon node to chase the enemy; he could only counterattack within the limited range of the node.
If Manina III truly retreated, Emperor Qin would be helpless and could only watch him go.
However, now Manina III didn't retreat due to Emperor Qin's aggressive attacks, but instead, he hardened his defenses against them, which greatly pleased Emperor Qin.
In his delight, Emperor Qin also conceived the idea of "expanding the battle's fruits."
Since Manina III was so cooperative, enduring his attacks, there was no reason to "wrong" him.
Emperor Qin began to think of ways to achieve more battle results.
To gain the best battle results, the most obvious way was to kill Manina III!
However, this goal was a bit too ambitious.
Killing Manina III wasn't that easy. Manina III was at the peak of the divine grade, and if he were killed, the entire battlefield situation would shift dramatically!
Moreover, as equals in rank, there wasn't a noticeable difference in strength. Emperor Qin didn't believe he could achieve this goal, as it was too difficult.
Since the goal of "killing Manina III" was too ambitious, Emperor Qin lowered his expectations and decided to consider more achievable goals, such as "injuring Manina III."
Manina III was the core of the enemy forces. If he could injure him without taking any damage himself, that would also be a significant battle result.
And to injure Manina III, Emperor Qin was clearly capable, and Manina III had given him this opportunity.
Currently, Manina III was enduring his sword strikes, and his defenses, while formidable, were not invincible.
Therefore, Emperor Qin decided to save up a powerful strike, accumulating strength to land a blow that would injure Manina III.
For a while, Emperor Qin deliberately reduced the intensity of his sword strikes, employing softer attacks to gradually wear down Manina III's defenses.
Meanwhile, in secret, Emperor Qin was continuously amassing his sword intent, preparing a "surprise" for Manina III.
Manina III wasn't oblivious to Emperor Qin's accumulation of power.
As an opponent, he noticed that Emperor Qin's sword strikes were unexpectedly gentle, more like a "boiling a frog in warm water" rather than a fierce assault. As long as he wasn't foolish, he could guess that Emperor Qin was saving up for a major move.
However, even knowing that Emperor Qin was preparing a major move, he couldn't immediately retreat.
Because of the same issue, retreating now would greatly damage the morale of his troops. On the surface, he wasn't at a disadvantage, and retreating now would be hard to explain to the entire battle.
Thus, he could only continue to defend and endure Emperor Qin's damage while secretly guarding against Emperor Qin's major move.
Once Emperor Qin unleashed his major move, he would quickly lead his troops to retreat, avoiding a direct confrontation with Emperor Qin.
...
However, Manina III's plan, though good in theory, wasn't so easy to execute.
When Emperor Qin's major move truly arrived, it was already too late to escape!
After ten minutes, Emperor Qin's major move came as expected!
This was his long-accumulated sword strike, an exceptionally fierce technique. The overwhelming sword pressure, infused with thousands of years of his power, descended upon Manina III like a starry sky enveloping the earth!
Manina III, sensing Emperor Qin's major move, immediately tried to dodge.
But the moment the ultimate move appeared, he immediately cried out in his heart—dammit!
The situation had taken a drastic turn for the worse. He immediately sensed that this ultimate move was something he couldn't avoid!
The moment Emperor Shi unleashed his ultimate move, Mynara III instantly felt the sword's momentum, like a galaxy, lock onto him, and it was a lock on his soul that he couldn't evade at all!
Moreover, he was too close to Emperor Shi. At such a short distance, there was no room for him to dodge.
So, he was most likely unable to avoid it, with no place to hide.
This realization also brought a significant amount of regret to his heart—why hadn't he thought of dodging from the start?
If he had retreated immediately when Emperor Shi began to gather his ultimate move, he would have surely escaped to a safe distance, avoiding the current dire situation.
However, to maintain the morale of his side, he didn't retreat. Now, thinking of dodging was too late, and he had to take the hit himself.
But since he could only take the hit, a new problem arose—this hit was not easy to take!
The moment Emperor Shi unleashed his ultimate move, Mynara III immediately assessed it and concluded—taking this hit head-on would likely result in severe injuries, and the cost would be too high!
Such a high cost was something he didn't want to risk lightly.
And suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, reminding him of something else—he could swap positions with the Sea Titan King to have the Sea titan king take the hit!
The story between Mynara III and the Sea titan king dated back several hundred years.
To put it briefly, several hundred years ago, Mynara III had placed a special mark on the Sea titan king. Using this mark, he could forcibly swap positions with the Sea titan king (provided the Sea titan king was within the range of his mental power) to help him withstand an attack.
Several hundred years had passed, and even the Sea titan king was about to forget this matter, let alone anyone else of the higher ranks. But Mynara III had always kept this matter in his heart, hiding it as his ultimate trump card.
Now, it was time to use this trump card!
Mynara III knew that if he took Emperor Shi's ultimate move, he would suffer severe injuries. If Emperor Shi then pursued with relentless attacks, his losses would be even greater.
Given this, it would be better to have the Sea titan king take the hit for him.
The Sea titan king was currently in the south, leading his forces to attack the Xuanwu node.
But the Sea titan king, being an outsider, wasn't very invested in this conflict, fighting half-heartedly and staying at the edge of the battlefield, never fully committing to the attack.
Exchanging a half-hearted fighter for his main combat strength to avoid severe injuries—wasn't this a fair trade?
Moreover, Mynara III didn't have much time to think, so he didn't hesitate. He directly used the power of the mark to swap positions with the Sea titan king, making the Sea titan king take the hit.
However, no one expected the Sea titan king to be so unprepared!
He was transferred to stand before Emperor Shi, taking the ultimate move head-on, and the result was... he died!
This outcome shocked Mynara III to the core!
He had thought that, with the Sea titan king's defense, while it would be difficult to withstand Emperor Shi's ultimate move, it wouldn't be fatal, only possibly severe injuries.
Who knew the result would be entirely out of his expectations!
The Sea titan king couldn't withstand the sword's momentum, like a galaxy, and was directly cut into three pieces!
Mynara III could clearly feel the Sea titan king's life force draining away.
In an instant, this god-level being, who once dominated the stars, was now dead!
This outcome not only stunned Mynara III but also left almost everyone from the various tribes of Skrul in the battlefield dumbfounded!
Everyone turned their gaze to the Xuanwu node.
Seeing the Sea titan king cut into three pieces, everyone was frozen in disbelief.
The Sea titan king... how did he end up at the center of the eastern battlefield? How did he suddenly die?
Was he cut into three pieces by Emperor Shi's sword?
How did this happen?
The various tribes of Skrul on the battlefield were completely stunned, and the war temporarily stalled.
