Chapter 1072: The Death of the Sea Giant King (Part 2)
Chapter 1072: The Death of the Sea Giant King (Part 2)
The death of the Sea Giant King was, in fact, largely due to the efforts of Chancellor Cao.
Why was Chancellor Cao's contribution so significant?
This can be traced back to the armor the Sea Giant King wore.
Two months ago, Chancellor Cao and the First Emperor traveled to Skrul to deliver a set of custom-made armor specifically designed for the Sea Giant King.
The materials used for this armor were incredibly luxurious. The core components were crafted from the core of an eighth-tier Deep Sea Leviathan, while the secondary components were also made from eighth-tier materials. Only the smallest, most unique parts that couldn't be substituted were made from seventh-tier materials.
The quality of the armor was undoubtedly top-tier.
According to the armor's creator, "Big Hammer Eighty," and Emperor Taizong (who joined the team due to the high difficulty of crafting such an item), this divine-grade armor had reached the pinnacle of excellence, just one step away from being classified as epic!
This was the highest-quality giant armor that humanity on Blue Star could produce at the time.
Two months ago, this divine-grade armor was delivered to the Sea Giant King, who was extremely satisfied with it!
He rarely wore armor before, but now, with the attributes provided by this high-quality divine-grade armor, his combat strength had skyrocketed!
What pleased him the most was that this divine-grade armor could be stored within his body!
By chanting a spell, the Sea Giant King could store the armor inside his body, making it feel as if it had completely merged with him, with no obstacles or discomfort. This made him fall in love with the armor, and for several days afterward, he kept praising how well-made Blue Star's equipment was!
However, the Sea Giant King was unaware that this armor had a fatal flaw!
During the crafting process, Blue Star humans had installed a "backdoor" in the armor.
This "backdoor" was a micro-terminal that the wearer could not control. All Blue Star humans had to do was enter their mental energy into the terminal and input a special command to make the entire armor's defenses "vanish" for a brief 3 seconds, leaving the wearer completely defenseless.
The Sea Giant King was unaware of this "backdoor."
In fact, apart from Su Yu, Emperor Taizong, Big Hammer Eighty, and a few of the highest-ranking divine-tier humans on Blue Star, no one knew about this "backdoor."
The original purpose of this "backdoor" was to provide humans with an opportunity to instantly eliminate the Sea Giant King if the two races ever became enemies.
Now, with the Sea Giants already on the battlefield against humans, it was time to use this "backdoor"!
...
The scene returned to the battlefield.
Manina III used a secret technique to forcibly swap positions with the Sea Giant King.
The Sea Giant King, unable to control the swap, found himself suddenly standing before the First Emperor, who was about to unleash a powerful attack!
He had no time to scold Manina III or even think about how he was swapped. His first priority was to figure out how to survive this attack!
The First Emperor's majestic sword energy was already descending, giving him little time to think.
In a split second, he reacted, summoning his full armor to rely on its defenses to block the attack.
Previously, the Sea Giant King had kept his armor stored within his body, as he had been at the edge of the battlefield and didn't need it.
None of the other races present even knew he had this armor.
However, as he summoned his armor, he encountered the "backdoor" created by Blue Star humans.
From his position at the White Tiger Node, Chancellor Cao quickly used his mental energy to enter the micro-terminal of the armor and input the command, causing the Sea Giant King's armor to lose all its defenses for 3 seconds.
The First Emperor's attack landed on the now defenseless Sea Giant King.
The outcome was predictable.
The Sea Giant King, unable to defend himself, was cut into three pieces by the two sword energies, shocking everyone on the battlefield!
Chancellor Cao's mental energy was concealed, and no one on the battlefield noticed his interference.
Furthermore, the battlefield was already chaotic and the space turbulent, so no one truly understood how the Sea Giant King died. They only saw him swap positions with Manina III and then be cut into three pieces.
This caused a great upheaval among the various races of Skrul.
First to cause a commotion were the Sea Giants, or rather, the followers of the Sea Giant King.
Initially, they could hardly believe their eyes, thinking they must be seeing things.
But once they realized what was happening, they immediately stopped what they were doing!
What was going on?
How did their King get teleported to the Blue Star's blade and then fall?
Who could tell them what exactly happened?!
The Skrul army temporarily halted their military actions at the Xuanwu node.
The other races were also extremely surprised and quickly retreated from the battlefield.
How did the Sea Giant King get betrayed by the Skrul?
What about the other races? Would they also be betrayed by the Skrul?
If the Skrul don't give an explanation, how can they continue fighting the Blue Stars on the battlefield?
The entire battlefield was in chaos, and the Skrul alliance faced enormous trouble from top to bottom.
As for Mynara III himself,
He had transferred himself into the Sea Giant race, and seeing the completely stunned Skrul behind him, he was also starting to lose his composure.
Honestly, he never expected the Sea Giant King to be so easily killed by the First Emperor!
He thought the Sea Giant King's defenses were decent, and being several thousand years old, shouldn't he have some powerful treasures? If he had used those treasures, he wouldn't have been killed by the First Emperor, right?
But he never expected the Sea Giant King to be so easily slain!
Now his troubles were huge! How could he explain to the Sea Giants? How could he explain to the other races?
"If I had known, I shouldn't have let the Sea Giant King block the way," Mynara III was already filled with regret.
But now, regret was useless; the Sea Giant King was already dead, and he had to take some action to remedy the situation.
Quickly, he shifted his gaze to the distant First Emperor.
At this moment, the First Emperor had just used a powerful move, and his old power was exhausted while his new power hadn't yet regenerated.
If he continued to fight the First Emperor now, he might gain some advantage.
Even if he didn't gain an advantage, he still had to engage, as he couldn't just stay among the Sea Giants, right?
Thinking this, Mynara III quickly left the Xuan Wu node and flew toward the Qing Long node.
Moreover, he had made such a huge mistake and now had to show some action.
During his flight, Mynara III took out several powerful treasures. These treasures could enhance his own power, weaken the enemy's, and even unleash a one-time powerful burst.
He used all these treasures and engaged in a fierce battle with the First Emperor.
The Sea Giants watched the First Emperor leave, and they could feel his intense battle intent.
But this didn't mean the Sea Giants wouldn't cause trouble. The death of the Sea Giant King was like the sky collapsing for them, and the despicable Skrul must give an explanation!
Thousands of Sea Giants took large steps, rushing towards the main command post at the base of Mount Fuji, only a dozen kilometers separated them from the summit, a distance they could traverse in an instant.
Meanwhile, Mynara XIII, the commander at the main command post, recovered from his extreme shock and now felt a sharp pain in his head.
Trouble was brewing!
The old ancestor had made a huge mistake! How could he teleport the Sea Giant King right in front of the First Emperor, only for him to be slain in one strike?
A god-level being was gone just like that!
And now, thousands of enraged Sea Giants were already charging towards him, and if he didn't stop them, the headquarters might be torn apart!
With no choice, Mynara XIII quickly contacted Mynara III, the old ancestor. Using his mental power, he quickly asked, "Old Ancestor, how could you make such a huge mistake?!"
"I also didn't expect it. I thought the Sea Giant King could withstand that strike..."
"Forget it, don't say more. Don't attack Ying Zheng again, quickly return to headquarters! The Sea Giant race must be suppressed by you!"
Now, Mynara III and the First emperor had already engaged in battle.
Because the Sea Giant King had taken out several treasures, and because the First Emperor's new power hadn't yet regenerated, Mynara III initially had the upper hand in the battle.
However, after receiving Mynara XIII's mental message, he hesitated for a moment, then decided to temporarily halt the battle with the First Emperor and follow Mynara's orders.
After all, he could only gain some minor advantages against the First Emperor, and with his strength, he couldn't kill the First Emperor.
And since he had caused such a huge mess, he had to be the one to clean it up; there was no way he could avoid it.
Thus, he quickly disengaged from the battle with the First Emperor and turned to fly rapidly toward the headquarters on the mountaintop.
The First Emperor, of course, did not pursue him.
Earlier, during their brief but intense battle, the Third Maninara had used several treasures that had suddenly increased the pressure on him, causing his entire body to feel restless and agitated.
The First Emperor simply stopped in mid-air, took out the Divine Energy Recovery Potion provided by Su Yu, and downed two bottles in quick succession.
In the meantime, the Third Maninara returned to the base camp.
Accompanying him were the elite members of the Sunfire Royal Family who had joined him in the attack on the Azure Dragon Node.
Faced with the aggressive and enraged Sea Giants, they did not hesitate and immediately began to suppress the uprising.
The top-tier experts of the Sunfire Royal Family also joined in, assisting in the suppression of the Sea Giants.
At the same time, the Third Maninara used his mental power to contact the leaders of the other races, apologizing to them and explaining that the death of the Sea Giant King was entirely due to an unintentional mistake. While this might not convince all the leaders, it did provide some comfort.
Thanks to the Third Maninara's swift actions, the Sea Giants' rebellion was quickly quelled. The high-ranking Sea Giants who had led the uprising were all captured, and the Third Maninara continued to emphasize to the other races that everything was due to a misunderstanding.
While the other races remained skeptical, this did not stop them from continuing to fight half-heartedly. Several deities, along with their followers, gradually moved away from the battlefield.
As a result, the war effort had stalled significantly.
On the First Emperor's side, he remained stationary in the air.
Because he was a sword cultivator, he did not have a large supply of ancient spirit medicines like other ancient cultivators; in fact, he had none. Therefore, he could only rely on the Divine Energy Recovery Potion provided by Su Yu to restore his spiritual energy.
However, the Neural Energy Recovery Potion was quite effective.
By the time Su Yu emerged, the two bottles had already restored at least 60% of his depleted spiritual energy, allowing him to continue standing in the sky and intimidating the surroundings.
When Su Yu emerged from the subspace, the battlefield was in the state he saw.
...
While Su Yu and Zhong Feng were communicating, Zhong Feng had already reached the coordinates Su Yu had given him and begun to engage the enemy's main force.
Now, the Scruun Alliance had regrouped (the Third Maninara's reassurances had worked, and he had promised additional benefits to the other races, preventing the war from stalling) and was launching a new assault on the Black Tortoise Node to the south.
Currently, the battlefield situation was as follows: there was no fighting at the Vermilion Bird Node to the north or the Azure Dragon Node to the east. At the White Tiger Node to the west, only Cao Chengxiang and Plante were engaged in combat. Therefore, the main battlefield was the Black Tortoise Node to the south.
At the Black Tortoise Node, the Scruun Alliance's main force was launching a fierce attack. The battle was exceptionally brutal, with the space outside the node violently shaking and large areas turning a deep purple and black.
The purple color was the result of spiritual energy gone wild from collisions; the black color was from spatial rifts formed by the space's oscillations.
Add to that the dense smoke and dust from the explosions of countless weapons, and the visibility on the battlefield was extremely low, almost to the point of being completely blind. Only through mental power could one barely discern the general situation.
Even the defenders inside the Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array were not entirely safe.
During the intense battle, the Four Symbols Array at the Black Tortoise Node had been breached several times, with the Scruun forces tearing open large gaps five times.
While these gaps were quickly repaired, the Four Symbols Array had a strong self-healing ability due to the massive influx of spiritual energy. However, during the breaches, the defenders inside the gaps were directly exposed to enemy attacks, resulting in heavy casualties. There were even instances where an entire defensive unit was wiped out in a single attack!
According to AI Blue Whale's statistics, the number of casualties continued to rise.
Almost every time the defenses were breached, 50 to 200 defenders would fall heroically.
Su Yu was also helpless in the face of this situation.
The Four Symbols Array could not protect everyone, and he could only hope that these brave soldiers could be resurrected after the war.
However, compared to the defenders, the Scruun Alliance suffered far greater casualties!
In just half an hour of fighting, the Scruun Alliance had already lost over 5,000 soldiers!
This alone highlighted the extraordinary brutality of the war.
