Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 402 One Punch! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The conversation between the two made the Protoss female captain's heart skip a beat.

Something is wrong!
This conversation, and the almost palpable tension, clearly indicate that this is no ordinary rendezvous!

What kind of support team would know that there are strong enemies blocking the way ahead, but instead of rushing to regroup and run home, use a tone like "I'm afraid they won't come"?
She remained outwardly calm, but her gaze subtly swept across her surroundings.

Soon, she spotted a high-ranking deity of her own race in the Pan-Spirit Alliance's support team a short distance away.

The other person seemed to notice her gaze and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Very good!
She immediately transmitted her voice telepathically: "By the stars above, Eriella, it is I, Beffi. What on earth is going on?"

The Protoss deity opposite her, known as "Eriella," was also somewhat surprised that Beffi was with Lin Yi, but she quickly guessed the reason and immediately replied:

"Beffie. To put it simply, the Abyss Clan and the Eclipse Clan will definitely take advantage of Lord Lin Yi's return to ambush him at the evacuation point, so they have gathered their main forces to provide support. Lord Lin Yi's combat strength has been clearly assessed to be at the level of a high-ranking god. This battle is very likely to be the decisive battle concerning the ownership and survival of the evacuation point!"

High-ranking deity!
decisive battle!

I just arrived, and I'm already caught up in the final battle?

She turned her head sharply and looked at the black-haired figure in front of her who was facing away from her and communicating with Yanlong.

So that's how it is! No wonder the evacuation point was set up with such a grand display! Lin Yi, this "number one prodigy of the younger generation" who has only risen to prominence in the last ten thousand years, actually already possesses the combat power of a high-level god?
This... this can no longer be described as "the posture of a supreme ruler." Perhaps even the great rulers who stand at the top of the universe were no more than this in their youth.

After the initial shock, a strong sense of relief welled up in Bepfei's heart.

Fortunately, during the previous trip, their team was friendly and cooperative enough, and did not show any contempt or arrogance because the other party was a "junior".

It could even be said that this trip was quite enjoyable.

After this battle, regardless of the outcome, Beifei and her team had developed a certain bond with Lin Yi.

A thousand thoughts raced through Beifei's mind, but she quickly regained her composure, though her gaze toward Lin Yi's retreating figure held a newfound reverence.

Lin Yi paid no attention to Bei Fei's emotional turmoil behind him. He quickly exchanged a few key pieces of information with Yan Long, and then nodded to Yan Long and Taikasha: "In that case, let's proceed according to plan."

"Those troublesome fellows, I'll leave them to Lord Lin Yi!" Yan Long said in a deep voice.

He knew very well that once the battle broke out, Lin Yi would be their irreplaceable pillar of strength.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and confirmation of tactics, both teams quickly regrouped.

Lin Yi and his four companions, along with four members of Bei Fei's team, were assigned to the core defensive perimeter of the support team.

The fleet restarted and continued sailing towards the evacuation point.

Time passed slowly in a subdued calm.

Every deity was on edge, their divine power flowing silently through their bodies, the laws of nature appearing and disappearing around them, and all their detection methods running at maximum power, scanning every inch of the surrounding void.

A standard year and a half, which is but a moment in the life scale of higher gods, seems exceptionally long at this moment.

Finally, on this day, the piercing alarm sounded simultaneously inside all the spaceships and in the consciousness of the gods.

"A large-scale high-energy reaction has been detected! More than 150 standard divine power units are approaching at high speed!"

The mechanical gods responsible for monitoring quickly issued an alert.

"coming!"

Inside the flagship, Yan Long's rock-like face showed no surprise. He sneered and then said, "Everyone, proceed according to the plan, deploy your formation, and charge!"

The command was transmitted instantly.

The seventy-nine deities, who had been on high alert, did not hesitate at all. In an instant, they transformed into streaks of light and rushed out of the cabin to meet the terrifying enemy torrent head-on!

Meanwhile, at the forefront of the enemy camp, inside a Eclipse warship covered in dark purple biological armor, an Eclipse deity with compound eyes flashing with cold purple light was coldly observing the reaction of the Pan-Spirit Alliance.

"The brats of the Pan-Spirit Alliance, they actually don't run away? They even dare to face them head-on?"

Its sharp voice echoed within the warship, tinged with doubt, "Did they guess our plan? Or is it a trap?"

Beside him, a Yuan Clan deity covered in thick scales growled, "So what if it's a trap? Those alien races just had an internal battle; they have neither the ability nor the guts to take advantage of us anytime soon! Right now, it's just us and the Pan-Spirit Alliance around here! Even if they think the same way we do, so what?"

It exchanged a glance with the leader of the Eclipse Clan, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

The leader of the Eclipse Clan said coldly, "You're right. The Pan-Spirit Alliance may have a few more high-level peak cultivators, but we have the advantage in total numbers! Most importantly, we also have that great one backing us up! That's enough to deal with that high-ranking god of the human race!"

"That's right, the advantage is on our side! If that's all they have, we'll wipe them out. If they all dare to come out, it'll save us the trouble of attacking their well-prepared evacuation points!" The Yuan Clan leader exuded murderous intent. "Everyone, let's push forward, force out their backup plans, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"Roar!!!"

"Kill them all!"

A ferocious fighting spirit ignited in the hearts of every god through the soul network, and the speed of the more than 150 streams of light increased by another three percent.

Soon, the distance between the two sides rapidly closed.

"Now!"

Yanlong sensed that the distance was about right, close enough that the enemy wouldn't have time to escape the pursuit, so he immediately gave the order.

In an instant, the Pan-Spirit Alliance battle formation, which originally consisted of only seventy-nine deities, expanded more than twenty times in size, like an inflated balloon!
One after another, figures exuding powerful auras poured out from the open gates of the divine kingdoms like a floodgate opening!

Holy radiance, spiritual light, rock crystals, metallic coldness, the verdant green of life, and the gray desolation of death. The light of various attributes and races intertwined and shone, instantly converging in the void into a dazzling, yet terrifying and murderous ocean of gods!
More than 1,600 high-ranking deities!
This represents almost all of the Pan-Spirit Alliance's combat-ready forces currently gathered in the evacuation zone, except for a small number of remaining troops.

"Is this your backup plan?"

The Abyss Clan, far from being angry, was delighted. Its roar echoed through the starry sky, "Let them see who truly rules this cosmos!"

Almost simultaneously, the void behind and to the sides of their camp also twisted violently, and divine kingdom fluctuations erupted.

The combined forces of the Abyss Clan and the Eclipse Clan, which originally consisted of more than 150 deities, have expanded even more dramatically!

Dark black demonic energy, dark purple corrosive energy, scarlet blood energy, and hideous bone armor and insect bodies.
Countless figures, exuding a violent, cold, and chaotic aura, roared as they charged into the starry sky!

More than 2,400 high-ranking deities!

In terms of numbers, they clearly had an overwhelming advantage over the Pan-Spirit Alliance!

In just a few breaths, this star field, which was about to erupt into a small-scale conflict, suddenly became a battlefield where more than four thousand high gods gathered!

In the void, on one side was the Pan-Spirit Alliance's allied forces, their battle formation as solid as a mountain.

On the other side was the Abyss Alliance, their killing intent surging like a tide.

The two sides took their stances, but instead of immediately engaging in combat, they tacitly maintained a brief distance between each other, standing in a stalemate.

The chilling killing intent emanating from the more than four thousand gods was like a tangible blade, slicing through every inch of the void.

In the midst of this suffocating silence, three figures slowly flew out from in front of the Abyss Eclipse Alliance.

On the left is a deity of the Abyss race, covered in thick, dark gold scales, resembling an ancient tyrannical dragon, exuding a wild and violent aura.

On the right is a mantis-shaped Devourer God whose compound eyes gleam with a cold purple light, its body emanating a chilling and sharp aura of the laws of death.

In the center is a deity of the Abyss race, whose body is covered in black and purple crystal armor, and whose shape is similar to a human, but who has a long tail covered with bone spurs trailing behind him.

Its size was not particularly large, but it was surrounded by a powerful law fluctuation that made the surrounding space tremble slightly.

"Hahaha!"

The figure in the middle, clad in black and purple crystal armor, was the first to let out a sinister laugh. Its soul voice was as piercing as countless grains of sand rubbing together, "Don't think you're the only ones with high-ranking gods. Since you dare to show yourselves from your shells today, you'll all stay here!"

Its face, covered in crystalline armor, turned towards the Pan-Spirit Alliance formation, its soul fluctuations filled with condescending mockery and killing intent: "I, 'Omaba,' have been a high-level god for three thousand standard years! Today, I will use you Pan-Spirit Alliance scum as a sacrifice for my advancement to the next level!"

"Tsk, so this is the legendary pre-battle verbal sparring session."

Lin Yi, in the core area of ​​the Pan-Spirit Alliance battle formation, calmly swept his gaze over the three figures, especially the high-ranking deity in the middle who called himself "Omaba".

He had participated in many battles involving gods, but this was the first time he had ever personally experienced a situation like this, where thousands of gods were involved and both sides were arrayed for a large-scale decisive battle.

However, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run.

According to his knowledge from the Pan-Spirit Alliance's public database and his usual exchanges with veteran deities, in large-scale battles where the difference in strength between the two sides is not particularly large, unless one side is confident that it can quickly crush the other, there are actually not many situations where they directly start fighting.

More often than not, like now, there will be a "pre-battle exchange" first.

The objective is simple: to demoralize the enemy and shake their morale.

After all, gods are also intelligent beings, and they also have emotions and thoughts.

Or perhaps, because they have lived long enough, the gods are better able to assess situations and may conserve their strength or adopt a conservative approach.

Therefore, this kind of "verbal warfare" is essentially a form of psychological warfare.

It's a pity.
Lin Yi could clearly sense that, although many gods in his own battle formation did experience brief fluctuations in their auras upon hearing that the opposing side had a high-ranking god who had entered this realm three thousand years ago, they quickly regained their composure and even revealed a mocking emotion.

Within the temporary communication network deployed by several mechanical gods and covering the entire battlefield, messages are being exchanged rapidly:
"A high-ranking deity? And three thousand years? Ha, does it think it's so powerful?" "I bet they still think Lord Lin Yi is the same person who just barely reached the level of a high-ranking deity ten thousand years ago?"

"Of course. If it were me, I wouldn't have guessed that Lord Lin Yi could advance so much in just ten thousand years."

"I wonder how Lord Lin Yi will entertain this Obama later."

"I bet that within five standards, my brother will be a high-ranking god. High-ranking gods are also divided into different levels, and the difference between the different levels is huge!"

"Five standard hours? How much do you underestimate our number one human prodigy? I bet it won't be more than three standard hours!"

"By the way, what is Lord Lin Yi's current strength? He sent word back that he had made some progress. With his talent, the progress on the new law should be over 50%, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. I just don't know if it's 70% or more?"

Clearly, the Pan-Spirit Alliance deities who participated in the rendezvous plan were generally aware of Lin Yi's strength, at least knowing that he was no ordinary novice who had just reached the threshold of advancement.

Faced with the provocation of a high-ranking deity with only three thousand years of history, they naturally felt little fear, but rather found it somewhat ridiculous.

At the forefront of the battlefield, Yanlong and Taikasha stood side by side.

Hearing Omaba's shouts and threats, Yanlong's rocky face showed no anger. Instead, he turned to Tekasa and said with a smile, "They think they've got us cornered."

Tekasa's seven-colored eyes flashed, and she responded with a smile as well:

"It seems their understanding of Lord Lin Yi is still based on intelligence from that ambush battle ten thousand years ago. In that case," she paused, turning to look at Lin Yi at the core of the formation, "Lord Lin Yi, this Obama opposite you seems very confident. Perhaps you should... show off a little to dampen their arrogance?"

At the heart of the formation, Lin Yi glanced at Tekasa.

He understood perfectly well that although Tekasa only said to suppress their arrogance, there was actually a deeper meaning behind it: she wanted to reassure his side.

Lin Yi did not take offense at this.

After all, any progress he made before was just talk; he never actually demonstrated it.

Even so, the key figures at the evacuation point still placed their full trust in him, leading almost all their forces out in force. Now, making such a small request to put his mind at ease and at the same time suppress the morale of the other side is not unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi raised his eyes and looked again at the three figures in front of the enemy formation.

One is from the Abyss Clan, and the other from the Eclipse Clan. They are clearly leaders of the two clans, plus a high-ranking deity-level being named "Omaba".

"Just showing off a little bit?"

Lin Yi's lips curled into a cold smile as he glanced at the three figures and the more than two thousand enemy gods behind them.

His mind raced.

Large-scale battles between gods differ from low-level legion warfare.

Because individual gods are incredibly powerful and their laws vary, he has never heard of a battle formation that can effectively command god-level power.

Therefore, once the fighting starts, it will basically be a long-range exchange of fire between the two sides, and then it will most likely turn into small teams fighting on their own, with intertwined formations and a mix of friend and foe.

By then, even if the Source Treasure is used, it will be difficult to unleash its full power due to the entanglement between friend and foe.

But now.
In order to defend against the first wave of ranged attacks, the enemy's formation was relatively concentrated, especially at the moment when the leader in the front row was shouting and the army in the rear was obeying orders, and they had not yet completely dispersed.

This is the perfect opportunity to maximize the damage range of the Source Treasure!

Once a real battle breaks out and everything is in chaos, there won't be such a good opportunity to use it.

With my current level of power, I can instantly infuse nearly a third of the divine power into the Yuanbao. If I suddenly do this to them, the gains will surely be substantial.

Moreover, the enemy is currently indulging in a false sense of security, believing that "they have a superior deity to protect them and a huge advantage in troop strength," and their vigilance is not at its highest.

"Now, it's just right."

Lin Yi's eyes sharpened.

Since they've come to him so readily and are standing so neatly, he shouldn't be so impolite.

In such a large-scale battlefield, the fluctuations of laws intertwine and entwine, forming an extremely chaotic natural barrier. Even a spatial law deity would have to expend more than ten times the usual effort to break through space for short-distance teleportation, let alone teleport people.

Now the two sides are practically face to face. Even if they discover they have the Source Treasure, it will be too late for them to run away!

Therefore, Lin Yi chuckled and said in the communication channel, "Since the other side is jumping around so enthusiastically, then I'll show everyone what I've got."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lin Yi's figure suddenly disappeared from the core area of ​​the Pan-Spirit Alliance battle formation.

The next moment!
In the central void between the two opposing sides, space rippled gently like water.

Lin Yi's figure appeared out of thin air!

He stood alone, hovering between the armies of thousands of gods from both sides, facing the combined forces of the Abyss Clan and the Devourer Clan.

At the same time, his right hand was raised and clenched into a fist.

Between his tightly clenched fingers, a point of extremely deep azure light was uncontrollably overflowing, as if he were holding a miniature blue star about to explode in his palm!

A vast and heavy primal energy, seemingly capable of encompassing and crushing all things, erupted from the center of his fist.

"what?!"

The closest one, "Obama," was the first to notice something was wrong.

Its face, covered in blackish-purple crystal armor, twisted instantly, and crimson light flashed wildly in its compound eyes. A deadly sense of crisis from the depths of its soul overwhelmed it like ice water!
It was about to open its mouth to let out a terrified roar or question.
But it was too late.

Lin Yi didn't waste any words or give the other party any time to react.

Appear, clench your fist, divine power surges forth. Throw a punch!

The movements were executed in one fluid motion, as fast as lightning!

Lin Yi, facing the Yuan Clan and Erosion Clan allied forces directly in front of him who were somewhat stunned by his sudden appearance, especially the three leaders in the front row, clenched his right fist and suddenly punched forward!

The immense power of the source law from the "Heart of the Abyss" transformed into a beam of azure light that seemed to have a vortex of billions of starlight rotating within it. It erupted instantly, silent yet swift as light, shooting straight ahead!

Where the blue light was directed, the void became incredibly heavy and viscous, as if it had been instantly dragged to the bottom of an endless abyss, with time and space exhibiting strange stagnation and distortion.

The first to be affected were those three clamoring leaders.

Before the ferocity and bloodlust on the faces of the Abyss Clan leaders and the Eclipse Clan leaders could even turn into astonishment, the protective divine power and defensive treasures on their bodies instantly melted away when the azure light containing the power of the Origin Law swept past.

Immediately afterwards, their divine bodies began to disintegrate from the smallest particle structure, and the seven-colored protective light of the secret realm burst out uncontrollably from their bodies, instantly engulfing their figures, leaving only the large number of treasures that each of them had exploded out, floating in the void.

This condensed beam of fist energy continued unabated, shooting straight into the depths of the enemy formation with unstoppable force!

Along the path of the beam of light, regardless of whether they were at the peak of high-level deities, they all encountered almost the same fate as the two leaders when that blue light containing the law of the source of water swept past.

Protective divine power, defensive secret techniques, life-saving treasures—all struggles seem pale and powerless before the Law of Origin.

The beam of light pierced through the relatively dense formation of the Abyss Clan and the Eclipse Clan allied forces, leaving behind a clear and straight "vacuum destruction zone"!
Nearly four hundred high-level gods located in this zone of destruction were "sent" out of the secret realm by this condensed source law fist aura before they even had time to react or escape.

In an instant, nearly four hundred seven-colored rays of light lit up simultaneously in the enemy formation, like a dense burst of fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky, dazzling yet cruel.

The light dissipated, leaving behind only hundreds of piles of valuable treasures and a void that instantly became empty and desolate.

Only the Abyss Clan expert who called himself "Omaba" and had been a high-level god for three thousand years, at the critical moment when the beam of light was about to hit his body, relied on his stronger divine power foundation and high-level god-level law foundation to unleash all his power and condense a thick shield of death and darkness laws in front of his black and purple crystal armor in an attempt to resist.

However, in less than half a breath, the shield, like metal melted by high temperature, developed a rapidly expanding hole in its center.

The beam of light pierced through the hole and slammed into Omaba's divine body. Its dark purple crystal armor flickered wildly, trying to resist the all-pervasive erosion of the Source Law.

Click, click.
A fine, teeth-grinding cracking sound emanated from its divine body covered in crystalline armor.

Countless azure cracks, like a spider web, instantly covered its entire body and rapidly spread inwards.

Its compound eyes, filled with horror and disbelief, stared intently at Lin Yi's fist, which he had just retracted and which was still wreathed in a faint blue light. With its last strength, it squeezed out a terrified scream from the depths of its soul:
"It's Yuanbao!!!"

As soon as it finished speaking, a seven-colored light finally burst forth from its divine body, which was covered with blue cracks, completely enveloping it. Then, with a flash of light, its figure disappeared.

Where they stood, all that remained was a pile of treasures several times richer than those of the previous two leaders, and a turbulent energy flow that was extremely unstable due to the erosion of the source law aura.

The condensed azure fist beam, after piercing through the entire "Destruction Belt" and annihilating nearly four hundred enemy gods, including high-ranking deities, continued to shoot away towards the boundless and deep dark starry sky behind the enemy formation. Before long, it was beyond the perception range of the gods present and completely disappeared.

One punch.

Just one punch.

Before the combined forces of the Abyss Clan and the Devourer Clan, the leaders of the two clans' allied forces, including the high-ranking gods, and nearly four hundred high-ranking gods were all annihilated!

The starry sky was deathly silent.

Only the gradually fading azure light trail and the countless treasure-like specks floating in the void remained, silently recounting everything that had just happened.

　I've been incredibly busy lately, I'm completely exhausted. I'd appreciate some monthly votes to cheer myself up!
