Chapter 584: Seizing the Emblem
Chapter 584: Seizing the Emblem
The Lunkert Eternal Emblem is a circular badge, approximately 10 centimeters in diameter, forged from a pale purple metal.
The badge is intricately crafted and polished by a master engraver, depicting six petals converging together. Despite being an inanimate object, it exudes a vibrant and lively energy.
At the center of the six petals is a colorless, transparent gemstone, roughly the size of a glass ball. Under the sunlight, it reflects a pale purple glow, giving the entire badge a divine and ethereal aura.
While the Lunkert Eternal Emblem may not have immense value or possess the capabilities of a legendary artifact like the Blazing Seal, its political significance is immense.
For the Lunkert Federation, the Lunkert Eternal Emblem holds a status second only to the "He Shi Bi" of the Blue Star Chinese Nation.
This is why the emblem is meticulously protected, with the entire exhibition hall equipped with top-tier security measures.
Su Yu examined the emblem, counting down in his mind.
59, 58, 57
At the same time, he took out a pale green jade pendant from his necklace and held it in his hand.
This jade pendant was given to him by Donna. Once activated, it would teleport him back to Blue Star.
He planned to use it immediately after securing the emblem.
Chenxing was also silently preparing.
On the way there, Su Yu had given her some props and potions, such as the Village's Best Sword, Goblin Pacemaker Model XXXL, Echo of the Ghost Cat, Fusion of the Red Crane, and Holy Spring of the Pandaren.
She held these props and potions in her claws, ready to use them at any moment.
Su Yu and Chenxing were poised and ready, but the Skrul people had no inkling of their presence.
It wasn't their fault, though.
The national museum had a high visitor traffic, open 312 days a year, with an average of 26,000 visitors per day. With so many people, it was impossible for them to monitor every corner.
However, the museum's defenses were robust for the key exhibition halls. Any criminal activity would be immediately detected by the security systems.
Today, the museum director, a peak 6th-stage powerhouse named Scalo, was sitting in his office as usual, continuing to study a book in his hands.
Behind him on the bookshelf were many precious books from the Holy Silver Federation. He was struggling to translate an advanced book on the Shadow Priest profession, using his limited knowledge of the Holy Silver Common Tongue.
But just then, an alarm suddenly rang in his ears, and the entire hall was bathed in flashing red lights.
Scalo was startled and immediately put down his book, using his mental power to connect to the museum's overall defense system.
From the feedback of the defense system, it was clear that they had a big fish on the hook this time!
The museum's overall defense system was highly precise and lethal.
Using psionic energy in the key exhibition halls would immediately flag the user as an intruder unless they were pre-marked as exempt, like the guards. Intruders would be severely injured or even killed on the spot.
However, for high-stage powerhouses, especially those above the 6th stage, the defense system was not as effective and found it difficult to execute a kill.
But the defense system wasn't completely helpless.
Under the entire museum, there was a mental force array personally set up by the god-tier powerhouse Victoria—the Soul Binding Array.
When an unkillable target was encountered, this mental force array would activate and pull the target's soul into the array.
Director Scalo sensed the activation of the Soul Binding Array the moment the alarm sounded, so he knew this time it was definitely a "big fish"!
Without hesitation, he communicated with the Soul Binding Array and entered it with his soul to see who this visitor was.
A few seconds later, his mental power successfully connected with the Psychic Array.
With permission, he clearly saw the soul that had been pulled into the array.
Su Yu's soul had not used the [Shape Mimicry] technique, so Scarlo could see the soul's appearance clearly.
Humanoid, black hair, yellow skin, and a face that was all too familiar.
He was utterly shocked, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. "You're... Earth human Su Yu! You're still alive?!"
Scarlo could hardly believe his eyes.
Four days ago, Emperor Sol himself had announced that Su Yu was dead. How could he suddenly appear in his territory?
The Solans are so unreliable! They shouldn't make announcements without confirming the facts!
Across from him, Su Yu also noticed Scarlo's gaze.
He had just broken the protective shield outside the [Runakta Eternal Badge], and his soul was forcibly pulled into this gray, lifeless space.
He knew he had to quickly break free from this space's constraints and return his soul to his body to escape this crisis.
Without hesitation, he used his soul power to transform into a Blue Dragon and cast various high-powered area spells, trying to break the constraints.
The entire soul space shook violently.
Of course, Headmaster Scarlo would not let Su Yu have his way.
He poured all his psychic power into the soul space to reinforce it, preventing Su Yu's soul from escaping.
One attacked, the other defended, and the two fought fiercely within the soul space.
In the real world, Morning Star was on high alert.
After Su Yu broke the protective shield of the [Runakta Eternal Badge], he stood motionless, his eyes fixed and unblinking.
Through her senses, Morning Star knew that Su Yu's soul had been pulled away by the museum's defensive forces.
With his soul gone, his physical body was left vulnerable! If left unprotected, even a fifth-stage cultivator could easily kill him.
So the task of protecting Su Yu's body fell entirely on Morning Star.
She first cast a protective shield over Su Yu, then activated the last layer of the [Echo of the Ghost Cat].
The [Echo of the Ghost Cat] allowed her to transform into a ghostly form, passing through walls and other obstacles without hindrance.
After using the item, she drank the [Red Crane Fusion] potion, transforming into a Red Crane standing over 40 meters tall.
As one of the Four Celestial Beasts of the Pandaren Empire, the Red Crane had far superior spellcasting abilities compared to her [Star Core Dragon] form, making it more suitable for the current situation.
She quickly scanned the Red Crane's abilities and began to utilize the enhanced spellcasting power it provided.
A massive wave of flames rapidly expanded, engulfing all six national museums within seconds.
The artifacts in the heavily protected areas of the six museums were safe, but the others, with less stringent protection, were reduced to ashes in the fire.
(Actually, "reduced to ashes" was just an illusion. While it appeared that the artifacts were destroyed by the fire, Morning Star had actually stored them in her storage space, intending to use them for future trades with the Skrull.)
