Chapter 625: Cosmic Runic Energy Shield (First Update)

After confirming his safety, Song Chi's gaze turned to the spoils of war he hadn't had time to examine carefully before.

The seventh-rank Gray Crystal and the five strands of Chaos Qi were self-explanatory, but he was mainly interested in the golden oddity.

Oddity: Runic Guardian

Quality: Golden

Convertible: Cosmic Runic Energy Shield

Note: A special oddity nurtured in a low-level cosmic secret realm, bearing ancient cosmic runes that offer exceptional defense against most mystical attacks.

...

Cosmic Runic Energy Shield lv0

Quality: Golden

Attribute: Energy Shield Value increased by 140%

Attribute 2: Energy Shield Defense Value increased by 140%

Attribute 3: Cosmic Origin Energy Cycle

Attribute 4: Real Shield

Attribute 5: Cosmic Runes

...

Cosmic Runes: A fragmented rune left over from the Multiverse Era, providing strong defense against most mystical attacks. All mystical attacks on the equipped battleship will be reduced by 70%.

Song Chi quickly scanned the attributes, almost ignoring the first four and focusing directly on the last one, "Cosmic Runes."

This attribute was obviously top-notch, initially reducing more than 70% of mystical attack power, and even at level 80, it could easily reach over 90%. This was an extremely exaggerated value.

Mystical attacks included a wide range of abilities, such as mental attacks from Nightmare Soul Bodies, magic, curses, bad luck, and more.

Song Chi valued this attribute highly and was considering whether to use the Oddity Origin Improvement Platform to replace this attribute on the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield component.

However, after some thought, he decided against it.

Attribute: Yin-Yang Reduction

Attribute 2: Real Shield

Attribute 3: Energy Shield Value increased by 320%

Attribute 4: Shield Defense Value increased by 320%

Attribute 5: Yin-Yang Mutual Generation

All five attributes of the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield were quite good, and he hadn't yet decided which one to replace.

The only option was Attribute 3, but it wasn't easy to replace. Even with the support of a Holy Light Shield, which could slightly compensate for the energy shield's thickness, the shield value affected the shield recovery amount of the "Yin-Yang Mutual Generation" attribute and the "Neutron Star Core Pulse" effect.

Song Chi eventually stored this component in the Nether Market's storage room for future temporary use.

For now, he had to return to the Nightmare Soul Continent and continue hunting for seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Bodies.

He already had plenty of silver oddities in his possession and didn't need to be stingy with the use of the Bazaar Projection Token. After all, he could continue collecting oddities in the future, but if he missed this opportunity to obtain the Gray Crystal from the Nightmare Soul Realm, he wouldn't get another chance.

...

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Song Chi had used the Bazaar Projection Token more than ten times, and after consuming over ten silver oddities, he had acquired five seventh-rank Gray Crystals, over a hundred sixth-rank Gray Crystals, and thousands of fourth and fifth-rank ones. His achievements were remarkable.

Additionally, he had a sudden idea to try enslaving them.

Not long ago, the death of the Huao Sovereign Worm in the hands of the Old Ancestor had reduced the number of Sovereign-level enslaved warbeasts they could use to three. Only two Sovereign Worms and one Cosmic Shark remained.

Despite the ongoing civilization war for over three hundred years, for two top-tier advanced civilizations, a full-scale war lasting several thousand years was not uncommon. The current situation was merely the beginning of the war.

With this in mind, Song Chi felt a severe sense of inadequate combat power.

He had long wanted to enslave more Sovereign-level warbeasts, but the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon race was too unique, making it almost impossible to enslave them with enslavement components.

If he could enslave a few Nightmare Soul Bodies as substitutes, that would be excellent. Even if he couldn't deploy them directly on the battlefield before becoming the Star Annihilator Fleet Commander, he could still use them through the battleship's split body.

However, he had been too optimistic. Although he successfully enslaved a seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Body, it had taken hundreds of attempts using the Celestial Scale Control Ring component.

As a result, he had to recharge the Shadow Projection Token five times for that single attempt.

Five silver legendary oddities were spent to acquire just one seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Body, a significant loss. After that, Song Chi gave up on the idea of enslaving Nightmare Soul Bodies.

...

In the Multiverse Nether Market, Song Chi closed his eyes, and over two hundred divine thought threads extended from his mind, penetrating the seventh-rank Gray Crystal he held.

Before he could absorb all the energy from the seventh-rank Gray Crystal, he suddenly heard a telepathic message from Mother Empress Ilis.

"Master, the Old Ancestor and Song Yan have sent a communication, asking you to head to the Nightmare Mountains in the central floating continent of the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi immediately stopped his actions.

Instead of returning to the main body of the Heaven Ruin Skydome in the Flame Serpent River System, he directly transferred his consciousness to the mirror ship in the Nether Market.

Over the past few years, the Multiverse Nether Market Projection had frequently appeared on the Nightmare Soul Continent, and the Old Ancestor and his older brother, Song Yan, were well aware of this. Despite this, they still summoned him, indicating that it was a matter of great importance.

Following the coordinates provided by Ilis, the mirror ship, in stealth mode, initiated its warp jump.

After the charging was complete, the mirror ship warped directly to the central region of the Nightmare Mountains.

The Nightmare Mountains were the largest mountain range on the Nightmare Soul Continent, spanning over ten light-years from north to south. Especially in the central region, the height reached tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and the dense primeval forests made it nearly impossible to find a trace of a regular dreadnought.

This was where the various Flame Keeper battleships of the central floating continent had been hiding for the past few years.

Upon arrival, Song Chi quickly located and joined the battleship avatars controlled by the Old Ancestor and Song Yan using the coordinates they provided.

The Old Ancestor and Song Yan hadn't used the Nether Market Projection, a domineering method. Their two battleship avatars had been working together, and with the support of the Flaming Sea Soaring Ship's formidable flame attacks, they had each obtained a seventh-rank Gray Crystal.

There were also many sixth-rank and below Gray Crystals.

However, the reason for summoning the mirror image of the Heaven Ruin Skydome this time was not for a seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Body.

"Chi, Lingyue Ran's Inspector Planet Destroyer had already taken down a nest of eighth-rank Nightmare Soul Bodies before us, and they obtained many good things. Just from what we've seen, there are rare time and space-related mineral resources, seventh-rank Gray Crystals, and at least ten strands of Chaos Qi."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi already understood.

He knew that the goal of the ancestor and his brother Song Yan was those ten strands of Chaos Qi.

In the past few years since entering the secret realm, the three of them had obtained Chaos Qi several times. Now, they were close to collecting enough for the Dragon Whale Pavilion's third restoration. If they could obtain these ten strands, the Dragon Whale Pavilion could immediately attempt the third restoration, and it might become a multicolored mythical Artifact.

After discussing for a while, they finally decided to conduct a comprehensive search for the Inspector Planet Destroyer hidden in the primeval forest.

Before scavenging the nest of the eighth-rank Nightmare Soul Body, it had also been marked with a sealing rune, and the battleship had lost its flash escape and warp capabilities. It would take at least a month to break free from this state.

The correct version is available on 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar first release novel.

Up until now, not even half the time has passed.

In other words, the other party must still be hiding somewhere in the central region of the Nightmare Mountain Range.

After confirming this, the three Song Clan battleships began to search separately, all of them activating the strongest detection feature of their battleship's sky-scanning radar to find the location of the Inspector Planet Destroyer as soon as possible.

However, the Ran Clan, despite being from an old and immortal force, had average strength. Still, their heritage had already spanned tens of thousands of years, and the number of components in their collection was immense.

As the only Inspector Planet Destroyer in the Ran Clan, its configuration naturally gathered the essence of the Ran Clan's tens of thousands of years of heritage, including a high-quality stealth component.

This caused the three Song Clan battleships to search like headless flies, never finding the other party's hiding place.

On this day, Song Chi released three seventh-rank Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppets.

The Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppets were space-attribute puppets with an extremely strong perception of spatial fluctuations. Now that they had been enhanced to the seventh rank, if they were to get close to the Ran Clan's Inspector Planet Destroyer, they would surely detect its presence. This was why Song Chi had been releasing them one by one in recent days.

However, the puppet soldier puppets had a weakness. Once they were far from the battleship's fleet commander, they would completely lose control and become immobile. Even with the Brainwave Remote Control System component, they could only remotely control three puppets at most, limiting their search range.

In the Multiverse Nether Market, Song Chi's figure suddenly disappeared, and a second later, he reappeared, now holding an additional component.

An orange-quality Brainwave Remote Control System!

Hmm... It was from the Star Ruin Skydome's main body in the Flame Serpent River System, not the mirror image in the Nightmare Soul Realm.

Although the mirror image could perfectly replicate black-quality and below components, it couldn't unload these replicated components, or the Mirror Image Division would no longer be a golden-quality component. It would need to be at least a multicolored lower-rank, or even a multicolored upper-rank Artifact, to do so.

Holding the Brainwave Remote Control System in one hand, Song Chi also took out a sixth-rank Silver Apple. Soon, this component evolved to red quality, but it also gained a blank trait, requiring him to select a trait from a similar component.

Song Chi seemed prepared, quickly taking out another component from the Nether Market's sealed storage room that emitted a purple glow.

This purple component was also a remote control-type component, and it had only one trait: "Double Remote Control Imprint."

Soon, this trait successfully transferred to the red-quality Brainwave Remote Control System component, becoming its third trait. This allowed the Brainwave Remote Control System to differentiate twice as many brainwave imprints as before, increasing from three to six.

At the same time, a light flashed from Song Chi's brow, and the Star Ruin Skydome's main body was summoned.

Six seventh-rank Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppets were summoned, and after the newly installed Brainwave Remote Control System component, six brainwave imprints were fired, each merging into the bodies of the six puppets.

After this step, Song Chi stored the six puppets in the Dimensional Space Stone and then used the space anchor point left in the mirror image battleship to send the six Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppets over.

With this, the number of remotely controllable Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppets, including the three on the mirror image battleship, increased to nine, expanding the search range.

Perhaps due to this, they indeed achieved good results. Just two days later, one of the released Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppets detected an anomaly.

Through the perception of the Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppet, a certain area of the dense forest had spatial anomalies. Although it looked no different to the naked eye, the Void Shadow Killer Clan Soldier Puppet could sense the occasional tremors in the void.

Song Chi speculated that it might be the fluctuations from the Flame Civilization battleship's engine, hidden in the void.

After discovering this, Song Chi didn't act rashly but immediately called for the ancestor and Song Yan.

When the three battleships converged, the three of them immediately took action.

The first thing they activated on their battleship projections was the charging of the ship's cannons. During the charging period, they also activated three spatial lockdown modules.

After a few seconds, three spatial lockdown light screens formed, centered on the anomalous point in the forest ahead.

The only shortcoming was that, due to various reasons, the Song Clan didn't currently possess any high-quality spatial lockdown modules. These three spatial lockdown light screens were all of average quality.

The three spatial lockdown light screens almost formed simultaneously, but that wasn't the end. Song Chi and the others had precise control over the timing. As the three lockdown light screens solidified, the unknown battleship hidden in the void also immediately detected this change. But before it could react, the three Song Clan battleship projections had also completed their final charge.

Whoosh!

Multiple kinetic light beams shot out, targeting the anomalous point in the forest.

One after another, explosions rang out, and the unknown battleship could no longer hide. Under the impact of the energy waves, its massive form, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, was revealed.

"It's definitely the Inspector Planet Destroyer of Lingyue Ran..."

Seeing the other party's massive form, Song Chi and the others immediately knew they had found their target.
