Chapter 343: Laplace
Chapter 343: Laplace
In the Demon World.
At the headquarters of the Solar God Church.
A golden mech with a futuristic design stood atop the altar, accepting the devout worship of believers from all over.
In a nearby room, the aged High Pontiff gazed at a continental map.
This map was a simple sketch on parchment, with the Solar God Church at its center, surrounded by numerous duchies and kingdoms of varying sizes.
"The light of the Solar God will shine upon every corner of the earth!"
The High Pontiff's expression was resolute, "We must continue to vigorously eradicate the heretic cults!"
"But... those heretic gods exist in unknown spaces. We can't kill their true forms, yet they can frequently project their power and manifest divine miracles. Even if we temporarily eliminate their followers, more lambs will be deceived."
An archbishop hesitated.
"The more so, the more we must firmly eradicate the followers of the heretic gods... The Primordial Spirits have great restrictions..."
Just as the High Pontiff was about to say something more, a knight in armor hurried in and bowed respectfully, "Your Holiness, the Seer has seen something."
The Seer was the Church's 'Prophet', who had made a contract with a very strange Great Spirit, possessing the power to observe the entire world and even higher-dimensional spaces.
Of course, they could only 'observe' and nothing more.
Soon, a young man with white eyes, wearing a starry robe, entered the hall. His expression was fervent and humble, and he exclaimed, "Your Holiness, I have seen the fall of the Primordial Spirits..."
The Seer said, "The Three Dragon Sect, Green Snake Cult, and Witches' Sisterhood... The Primordial Spirits worshipped by these heretic cults will face a devastating calamity. The entire world will be shrouded in the light of the Solar God..."
"My prophet, this is indeed good news."
The High Pontiff laughed heartily, "The battle for the unification of the world has begun!"
...
In the Demon World, at the Origin of Primordial Spirits.
On the Pale Matrix, a black mech flipped over with a single hand.
A crimson sun appeared, and countless Solar True Flames swept through the land, physically transcending numerous Primordial Spirits within its range.
The fourth style of the Great Sun Buddha Palm - Earthly Enlightenment!
"Farewell to the Pale Matrix, yet it still feels awe-inspiring..."
Fang Xing's Black Death God stood a hundred meters tall.
But standing on the Pale Matrix, it felt like standing on a vast Pale Continent! After all, the true forms of the Outer Demons were often unbelievably massive. For example, the dead body of 'Star Devourer - Kegeretrum' was a dead planet, and no one knew where it had been taken.
Fang Xing estimated that it was either used as material for a demon mech or to 'feed' the true 'Mech Masters' of the Tenth and Eleventh Realms.
True 'Mech Masters' at the Ninth and Tenth Realms would have undoubtedly cultivated the Light of the Soul, completely fusing with their mechs.
A being of immense size, its daily sustenance would be various high-energy blocks like Eternal Crystals, alloys, and machine oil...
It was highly possible that the founding principal of Saint Armored University fed on demon materials.
After all, various mech construction methods had commonalities in their advanced stages.
"Death! Death!"
"We are all servants of death!"
After eliminating numerous Primordial Spirits with a single palm strike, Fang Xing saw Primordial Spirits appearing in various places on the Pale Continent, attacking him.
This was the reason why he had fled after a few strikes during his Martial Saint period, as he was easily besieged and suffered losses.
However, now clad in armor, he was a true Ninth Realm warrior.
"Using the Black Death God to unleash the Great Sun Buddha Palm feels somewhat awkward... Is it because of a conflict of laws?"
Fang Xing extended his palm, "Nuclear Palm!"
When he had obtained the fragment of the Ten Thousand Spirits Record, he had gained insights into various supreme martial arts.
After piloting a mech, it was common to practice mech martial arts.
Boom!
The flash of a nuclear blast appeared, sweeping through numerous Primordial Spirits.
Then, a huge black mushroom cloud slowly rose.
Light and heat erupted!
Such a devastating scene, yet to the Pale Matrix, it was like a mere scratch.
Hiss!
As the nuclear blast's smoke cleared, Fang Xing saw a flash of white light.
In the center of the blast, an enormous Pale White Centipede had appeared, seemingly formed by the fusion of countless Primordial Spirits, with its many centipede legs made up of human limbs.
Moreover, on its pale carapace, countless distorted and crazed human faces emerged.
"A Ninth Realm demon!"
Fang Xing felt a terrifying mental shock following it.
But to his Martial God will, it was like a gentle breeze.
"Heart of Death!"
A pale heart appeared in Fang Xing's hand, which he then crushed.
Crack!
The centipede demon, composed of pale human bodies, twisted into a ball, and each face screamed in madness.
Fang Xing immediately controlled the Black Death God to move forward, and the black mech's giant hand easily tore the pale centipede apart.
Then...
An urge even arose in his heart, wanting to swallow the blood and flesh of the centipede monster in one bite!
"Is this..."
"Mech contamination?"
After all, Fang Xing had the Martial God will, and he directly suppressed this feeling, "Mere Primordial Spirits, the flesh of the Eighth Realm, consuming them would only pollute my mech and reduce its potential..."
He pressed both palms onto the centipede demon's head.
Boom!
Another solar flare erupted, and the amplified Solar True Flame burned everything in its path, turning countless severed limbs and broken arms into ashes...
...
Main Universe.
Star River Island.
The Black Death God emerged from space and descended directly into the Industrial Zone.
Behind the mech, several high-tech cargo containers were chained together with thick iron chains.
Bang!
The massive containers slammed into the ground, emitting a dull sound.
"These...what are all these?"
Dr. Wang and Nan Gong Xue opened one of the containers and saw a large amount of demon god flesh and blood sealed in airtight canisters, their eyes widening in surprise.
"The mech data from my trip is top-secret."
Fang Xing glanced at Dr. Wang, reminding him.
"Please rest assured, boss. We know the confidentiality regulations," Dr. Wang quickly assured.
In his heart, he thought, 'The boss must have gone to the black market or made a deal with some underground faction. The information in this mech is definitely top-secret. If it leaks out, the boss might be fine, but I'll be dead...'
Fang Xing was just doing a casual test. Anyway, if the core data were to leak, there would definitely be a record in the Black Death God's core.
No one could hide anything from his Lifebound Artifact!
"And this box here is specifically for you."
Fang Xing looked at Nan Gong Xue and pointed to a nearby giant steel container that was dozens of meters tall.
"Thank you..."
Nan Gong Xue briefly examined it, and a joyful expression appeared on her face: "With these resources, my exclusive mech can finally enter the actual production stage."
As a Martial Saint of the Academy, Han Chunfeng might have put more effort into Nan Gong Xue than her own Star.
"Congratulations."
Fang Xing, on the other hand, didn't really care.
He was even a little pleased, after all, Nan Gong Xue was still one of their own.
In the future, even if it was materials for a Martial God-rank mech, he could still provide some support.
...
Several days later.
Inside the villa.
Fang Xing opened his eyes and looked at the communicator: "Teacher Nie Ying, have you finally achieved some results?"
Without hesitation, he entered the holographic virtual cabin.
Somewhere on Blue Star.
A 3D projection appeared, and it was Fang Xing!
"Teacher!"
Fang Xing looked at the floating spherical projector and nodded at Nie Ying beside him.
"Let's go, we're going to meet a big shot."
Nie Ying, wearing a blue uniform, had an extremely solemn expression: "He's a true big shot of the Academy Faction, and he's also from Blue Star University..."
"Oh? Who is this big shot?"
Fang Xing became interested.
"Lord Heng Dong."
"He's a mech master cultivated by Blue Star University, and he's already reached the level of a Ten Realm professional," Nie Ying explained.
"A Ten Realm mech master?"
Fang Xing exhaled.
Such a professional mech master had already become a mech life, no longer human.
Following Nie Ying, he entered a gigantic doorway.
This doorway was dozens of meters tall, almost as if it were meant for a giant.
Inside, the space was unbelievably vast, revealing a giant palace hundreds of meters tall and several kilometers wide.
Within the palace, a blue 'giant' sat cross-legged! His entire body was covered in blue steel armor, and behind him were a pair of blue sword-shaped wings. His eyes were lively, emitting a human-like glow.
"Lord Heng Dong."
Nie Ying bowed first.
"Lord Heng Dong," Fang Xing followed suit.
"Hmm, Fang Xing...I've heard of your name. You're a promising junior from Blue Star University."
Lord Heng Dong's voice was youthful, and after transforming into a mech life, his 'Life Light' had completely merged with the mech.
He was now this mech, and his physical body? It had long been completely fused with the mech.
It might even have been expelled as an 'impurity'.
"After our investigation, we can confirm that the mastermind behind this is a Pillar-level demon god—Chaos Flame!"
"It gave birth to a foreign demon god, the very one you mentioned in that strange room and screen...code-named 'Laplace Demon'...We've already confirmed that War University has been infiltrated..."
The blue mech-like figure's voice was calm yet powerful.
"We've destroyed several demon god church bases and identified the corrupted members within the Federation's upper echelons...Soon, we will attempt to kill the 'Laplace Demon'..."
After listening, Fang Xing remained silent.
Even after leaving, Nie Ying found it strange: "The conspiracy has been destroyed, and the mastermind has been caught, but you don't seem too happy about it?"
Today's audience with Lord Heng Dong's mech was seen as a potential entry into the core of the Academy Faction.
Why was this student so calm?
"I just...feel that I'm still too weak."
Fang Xing sighed, feeling somewhat dispirited.
But in his heart, he was secretly reminding himself: 'Indeed...even Eight Realm or Nine Realm isn't enough. The future of the Federation is still in the hands of Ten Realm and Eleven Realm big shots...'
