Chapter 614: Farewell to the Nereid Queen's Blessing
Chapter 614: Farewell to the Nereid Queen's Blessing
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Just as the fleet admirals below believed that the Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon would be unable to dodge, the next moment brought a strange transformation.
The golden frost horn mounted on the Star River Ship was about to collide with the body of the Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, which was over a million kilometers long, when suddenly a massive amount of dark energy surged within the demon's body.
This dark energy was extremely domineering, and it was the same energy that had previously unleashed that dark black blade beam.
Under the shroud of this unknown energy, the Serpent Demon's aura continued to surge, and the next second, Song Chi's gaze suddenly froze, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.
"How is this possible..."
The Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon's eight arms stretched out simultaneously, all pressing against the black longsword.
Clang, clang, clang!
Intense metallic clashing sounds rang out as the frost horn and the black longsword collided.
One was a steel giant ship,
The other was merely a flesh and blood body.
The outcome of their collision was obvious, but the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
The Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, with its own body and a black longsword, withstood the impact of the Star River Ship, which carried the boundless potential energy.
"What is that?"
It was only now that many admirals noticed the faint black shadow on the Serpent Demon's body.
Unlike the Serpent Demon Divine Form inherited by the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon civilization, this black shadow, though also in the form of eight arms, emanated an extreme sense of coldness and brutality, completely different from the Serpent Demon Divine Form condensed from Sovereign Power and the Earth Law.
As if understanding the doubts in everyone's minds, Song Wujiang's explanation soon echoed in the encrypted group chat.
"This shadow is called the Eight-Armed Demon God, a supreme demon from the Bottomless Abyss, a pinnacle existence of mythic rank."
Upon hearing this explanation, everyone understood, but new doubts quickly arose in their minds.
"Since it's a powerful demon from the Bottomless Abyss, why would it have any connection with the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon civilization?"
Song Wujiang also had some understanding of this and continued to explain, "There is news that the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon civilization is suspected to be one of the tentacles of that demon, reaching out from the Bottomless Abyss, intending to spread its influence throughout the boundless Star Sea."
"After all, although the Abyss is vast, compared to the endless Shattered Star Sea, it's still far from enough!"
As the Song family members conversed, the battlefield ahead underwent new changes.
With the power of the Eight-Armed Demon God, the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon forcefully shook off the Star River Ship of the Xue Sui Yang family and, taking advantage of the Star River Ship being thrown back, its eight arms further exerted force, with the black longsword leading the way and slashing towards the Xue Sui Yang family's Star River Ship.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sharp metallic clashing sounds echoed again, but the Xue Sui Yang family's Star River Ship was no pushover. Its ship body armor, though inferior to the longsword in the Serpent Demon's hand, could withstand the impact for a considerable time.
The key now was that the black longsword was controlled by one of the Serpent Demon's arms, leaving the other seven arms free. These arms continuously struck at the combined fleets of the two major star systems.
Without the support of the black, supreme-quality weapon, the power of these attacks naturally weakened significantly. However, these were still attacks from an Eighth-Rank Sovereign, posing an unimaginable threat to ordinary Flame Warships and even Star Annihilators.
The Ling Yue Zhao family, which had been at the forefront of the fleet all along, bore the brunt of the attacks. However, as one of the two Ling Yue River System families that had made preparations beforehand, the Ling Yue Zhao family had not suffered much damage from the previous blade beam, and they were still coping well with these ordinary Eighth-Rank attacks.
Not everyone, however, was as well-prepared as the Ling Yue Zhao family. Under the Serpent Demon's palm strikes, the damage to the other fleets became increasingly severe.
In comparison, the Song family fleet appeared much more composed. Before each palm strike from the Serpent Demon, a colossal Sovereign King Worm would always rush forward to meet it.
Moreover, these Sovereign King Worms often had special defensive measures attached to them.
For example, special artifacts that increased defense, like the "Imperial Scroll" from the Flame Boiling Sea's Flame Pact.
With multiple means of support, these Sovereign King Worms could always diminish most of the power of the Serpent Demon's palm strikes. Additionally, the attacks and erosion from the Firm Sea Soaring Ship and the core clan members' ships, including Song Chi's, further weakened the remaining force by over ninety-nine percent before it reached the ordinary clan members' ships.
At this moment, the voice of the clan ancestor, Song Wujiang, suddenly echoed in the encrypted communication group chat.
"Chi, take a Sovereign King Worm to check on the Glorious Han Kingdom fleet. It seems like the Stark Clan might not be able to hold on."
Song Xingru: ???
Hearing this, Song Xingru was the first to express her confusion, but Song Chi instantly understood the intention.
"Ancestor, you mean..."
...
The arms of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon above continued to strike, relentlessly pounding various areas of the combined fleets of the two star systems.
The fleets with Star Annihilators were in a better position, as they could actively launch counterattacks to diminish a significant portion of the attack's power. However, the ordinary fleets without the protection of Star Annihilators were in dire straits.
Once the attacks of the Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon landed, if they couldn't dodge, the best outcome was for their ships to lose all functionality within a short time. More often, they would sink and perish.
Boom!
The black arms tore through the starry sky, slamming down again, leaving a trail of thousand-mile-wide void fissures and collapsing space in their wake.
Under such an assault, even if a ship managed to dodge the Serpent Demon's palm, it would still be difficult for them to escape death if they fell into the endless collapsing and compressing collapse zone.
"No, this is the second time it's targeted us. Why is it focusing on us when the fleet stretches so long?"
Glorified Han Kingdom, the joint fleet of sixth-rank aristocratic families, Stark Clan group chat.
At this moment, the group chat was filled with the furious roars of the fourth and fifth-rank admirals of the Stark Clan.
It was no wonder they were so desperate.
In the previous attack, due to the lack of protection from a Star Annihilator, more than a quarter of the Stark Clan's fleet had sunk. They dared not imagine the consequences if it happened again.
It was well known that after Hardy Stark's failed attempt to challenge a Star Annihilator, the Stark Clan's strength had been repeatedly weakened over the past few centuries.
First, their remaining ultimate dreadnought inexplicably star-fell during an expedition to a different star system. Then, other kingdoms in the kingdom further encroached upon the Stark Clan's scarce resources and territories.
Of course, the most crucial factor was the covert support from the three immortal powers of the Glorified Han Kingdom, which accelerated the decline of the Stark Clan.
Today, the Stark Clan has only one remaining Dreadnought Fleet Admiral, and they truly cannot afford any more significant losses.
"Is it true that they want to destroy the Stark Clan?"
Looking up at the giant palm imprint descending from above, the few remaining Battleship and Dreadnought Fleet Admirals of the Stark Clan felt a sense of helplessness.
Just then, another giant figure, equally oppressive, rushed in from behind, and its massive presence, encased in a shell, diminished the power of the serpent demon's palm imprint, minimizing the casualties of the Stark Clan.
"Thank you, friend, for your assistance. The Stark Clan is forever grateful!"
Carmel Stark, the first to react, quickly turned his attention to the true owner of the giant figure behind them—a Seventh Stage insectoid sovereign. He had initially thought it would be a Star Annihilator, but when he saw the projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, he changed his tone.
Although he was extremely grateful, it was inappropriate to address a fellow-ranked Fleet Admiral as 'adult.' After all, Carmel was the last remaining Dreadnought Fleet Admiral of the Stark Clan.
"Admiral Carmel, it's been a while. It seems like the Stark Clan is not doing so well!"
In the open communication channel, Song Chi spoke first.
Hearing the voice from the ethereal body, Carmel Stark's expression changed slightly.
"Is that you, Song Chi of the Dragon Spine Song Clan?"
His face underwent a series of changes, but in the end, Carmel Stark sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for your help. However, what is the Song Clan's purpose?"
The relationship between the two families was not amicable; Carmel was well aware of the unpleasantness during their previous collaboration.
He knew that Song Chi's assistance was not a sudden act of kindness but likely had another motive.
"Since Admiral Carmel is being straightforward, I'll do the same. The Song Clan wants the 【Nereid Queen's Blessing】 module from your hands."
Indeed, Song Wujiang's intention was the golden module that Hardy Stark had intentionally revealed during the Sky Plate River System's expansion war.
The Song Clan valued this module for its exceptional attributes and its active trait that tripled the combat power of the entire fleet. That's why Song Chi was sent to see if they could acquire this module from the Stark Clan.
As expected, upon hearing Song Chi's words, Carmel Stark's expression darkened. He managed to suppress his loathing, but the coldness in his eyes was undeniable.
"That's impossible..."
Before he could finish, Song Chi interrupted, "Don't rush to refuse. It's not too late to make a decision after hearing what else I have to say."
Song Chi paused, then continued, "But before that, we must sign a confidentiality agreement. Even if you still disagree later, you cannot disclose the information we discussed to others."
After considering for a moment, Carmel Stark agreed to the request.
After his agreement, the 【Flame Boiling Sea】 flashed and appeared.
Subsequently, the three of them used the 【Flame Pact】 module to sign a golden-level confidentiality agreement. Only then did Song Chi continue speaking.
"I believe I don't need to explain the situation the Stark Clan is in. The Song Clan can make a promise. If you are willing to hand over the 【Nereid Queen's Blessing】 module, we can grant the Stark Clan a star domain far away from the Glorified Han Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Carmel Stark's eyes narrowed, and compared to before, he was now genuinely interested, but there was also a hint of confusion.
"What do you mean specifically?"
"The Song Clan has already reached an agreement with the Chi Gu Luo Clan of the Golden Basin River System. We will strive to seize the entire 'Crimson Disc River System' during this civilization war. At that time, a new kingdom will be established in the Crimson Disc River System, and if you agree, this kingdom will include a place for the Stark Clan."
"The Stark Clan's territory in the Glorified Han Kingdom is almost entirely consumed. The over two hundred thousand light-years of the Dawn Star Kingdom allocated to them hundreds of years ago is not only barren but will also face infiltration and consumption by hostile forces. Only by leaving the Sky Plate River System can the Stark Clan have a chance to rise again."
As Song Chi spoke, Carmel Stark's eyes lit up with hope.
His eyes flickered for a long time before he asked, "How can I be sure of the truth in your words? And if we successfully take over the Crimson Disc River System, how much territory will the Stark Clan be allocated?"
Song Chi had anticipated these two questions, "We can discuss the details of the territory later. As for the truth of my words, we can sign an agreement!"
"Agreed!"
In the end, Carmel Stark agreed. Although he had only been promoted to a Dreadnought Fleet Admiral less than two thousand years ago, he was, after all, a veteran admiral with over four thousand years of experience.
The deal proposed by Song Chi was the best option for the Stark Clan's future. If they missed this opportunity, the Stark Clan would gradually fade away under the encroachment of various forces.
It was better to take this chance to break free from the confines of the Sky Plate River System and try to establish a new foundation in the Crimson Disc River System.
The crucial factor was that the Song Clan, a powerful force, had proposed this deal. If it were just an ordinary Sixth Stage family, Carmel Stark would have refused without hesitation.
Only the Song Clan, with its considerable influence, could offer this opportunity to the Stark Clan.
As Carmel Stark prepared to arrange the subsequent agreement, Song Chi spoke again, "May we see the complete attributes of the 【Nereid Queen's Blessing】 module?"
The attributes Hardy Stark had revealed before were not all-encompassing, so Song Chi naturally wanted to confirm the module's full attributes.
"Of course!"
