My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 595 Thorne, the Battle Angel

Chiyang Mountain resembles a giant warship, rapidly traversing the deep universe.

Zhou Nan did not want to give the Qiluo Galaxy Guardian Team time to assemble, so he decided to take the initiative.

At this moment, Zhou Nan's extraordinary nature as a divine being became apparent. He emerged from deep space, and the Emperor Sword transformed into a blazing sun, constantly receiving information from the deep space universe. This allowed Zhou Nan to accurately grasp all the enemy's movements, giving him an absolute advantage whether he was escaping or launching an attack.

Of course, deep space probes or other entities may also employ similar methods.

In short, a day later, Chiyang Mountain intercepted the fourth fleet of the Qiluo Star System. After a swift and decisive battle, the fourth fleet was completely annihilated. Zhou Nan absorbed all the deep space data of the fourth fleet, expanding his memory by approximately 0.1 megabytes.

It must be said that the Thorns in deep space are truly brave and fearless. They have no fear or desire to escape. No matter what situation they are in, completing the mission is their top priority, and they don't care about their own lives at all.

Another day passed, and Zhou Nan annihilated the third fleet of the Qiluo Star System.

The highest-ranking executive officer of the Third Fleet was quite extraordinary. Zhou Nan detected that his level was as high as 500. Unlike other Thorne people, he had a pair of radiant wings and his body could transform into a battle sword.

Zhou Nan detected his identity as Thorne the Angel.

The Thorn Angels are nobles within the Thorn race, and their combat strength is far greater than that of ordinary Thorn people.

Of course, it also carries more deep space data.

Half a month later, Chiyang Mountain was surrounded by the ninth, tenth, and eleventh fleets of the Qiluo Star System. This battle lasted for nearly three hours. After this battle, Zhou Nan's memory increased to 1.2 MB, and he accumulated nine-star purple cards: [Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal] and [True Greatsword God General].

Each of these two cards can easily annihilate a fleet.

After absorbing the deep space data from these three fleets, Zhou Nan gained a deeper understanding of the third universe in the first layer of starry sky.

This third universe is the universe of the Thorne.

The first layer of deep space contains nine universes. The first three universes are surface universes, the fourth, fifth, and sixth universes are intermediate universes, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth universes are deep universes. These nine universes have completely different time flows, and their numbering is determined by these time flows.

If we take the flow of time in the outer universe as the standard, then the flow of time in the first universe is ten times that of the second universe, twenty times that of the third universe, and so on.

Zhou Nan is currently in the Third Universe, so if he spends forty days here, only one day will have passed in the Starry Sky World!

As for why the flow of time is different, Zhou Nan had no idea. He vaguely felt that this might be the greatest secret of deep space.

Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong followed Zhou Nan in battle and also gained a lot. They are now card warriors, keen on accumulating points to draw cards, and have already exchanged for green cards.

It should be noted that Zhou Nan's green cards are already extraordinary. High-quality cards, such as Nuclear Power Sword Immortal, True Greatsword God General, and Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger, are already capable of fighting against second or third-tier white-level cards.

However, the two Xiao brothers were not very lucky, drawing mostly low-quality green cards such as Starry Sky Stray Cat and Steam Bull, which were not very useful.

Half a month later, Zhou Nan piloted the Chiyang Mountain to intercept the first fleet of the Qiluo Star System Guard.

This first fleet is the strongest among the 18 fleets of the Qiluo Galaxy Guard, because it has two level 500 Thorne Angels and a star behemoth.

The cosmic behemoths are real; they exist in the outer starry sky and also in this deep space universe. The cosmic behemoths in the chaotic void of the card world are very likely created based on real cosmic behemoths.

In short, cosmic behemoths are usually extremely powerful.

The giant star beast kept by the First Fleet of the Qiluo Galaxy Guard is a nine-headed lion. Its height is probably over three thousand meters, and a single hair is thicker than an adult's waist. All nine of its heads can spew energy shockwaves, and its claws and fangs have powerful destructive force.

As for its level, according to Zhou Nan and his own database, it is approximately level 580!

These nine lions were the strongest opponents Zhou Nan had encountered since entering the starry sky.

Zhou Nan sent the purple nine-star [Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal] and [True Greatsword God General] to deal with the level 500 Thorne Angel, and sent Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong to use low-level cards to deal with the minions, while he personally went to fight the Nine-Headed Lion.

"Perfect timing to test the abilities of the Panda Flower Fairy!"

Zhou Nan let out a soft shout, took a step and flew out of Chiyang Mountain. He put his right hand behind his back, pointed his left hand in the air, and with a bang, the one-star purple card [Panda Flower Fairy Pan Hongyan] appeared.

This is a truly fantastical card game!

Its "Blooming Prosperity" ability is very special, but Zhou Nan, with the support of data from "Flourishing Civilization", actually brought this skill into reality.

Of course, [Panda Fairy Pan Hongyan] is only a support and cannot fight head-on. Zhou Nan himself is the main damage dealer, and he also equips himself with green-level cards such as [Super Demon], [Nine-Story Pagoda], and [Old Dragon King]. Fighting the nine-headed lion is like fighting a BOSS in a game, which is very safe.

Moments after the battle began, the nine-headed lion's entire body was covered in flowers. Each of its nine heads had a cluster of bone-flowering flowers in the center of its forehead. These bone-flowering flowers were the best growing and the most beautiful, absorbing a large amount of the nine-headed lion's life force.

These parasitic flowers growing on the body are malignant tumors. If they are not removed immediately and allowed to grow, they will cause great harm to the body and become increasingly difficult to eradicate. The nine-headed lion was dragged down by them, and eventually his body was covered with various flowers, but his body was as thin as dry wood. He let out an unwilling roar and fell backward into the deep sky.

With a whoosh, countless flowers fell from its body, transforming into gold coins adorned with floral patterns. The flowers in the patterns varied, including peonies, bone-growing flowers, blood-coagulated flowers, and real blood mosquito flowers, among others. Each gold coin was unique, just as no two leaves in the world are the same.

These gold coins were actually useless to Zhou Nan, and he was too lazy to collect them, so he turned around and went to fight elsewhere.

However, the mountain god of Chiyang Mountain, Flying Bear Fairy, and Jade Fairy were very interested in the flower-shaped gold coins. The three of them flew out of the mountain gate and happily carried the gold coins back to the camp.

"We will be the stewards of this fantastical card world from now on. While our Emperor hasn't recruited more card warriors yet, we should accumulate some wealth. These flowers and gold coins are quite good; we can distribute them to the card warriors later as tokens or currency..."

"Indeed, it's time to accumulate some wealth. Our Emperor has entrusted the Card Void Realm to us for management, and we will certainly do our utmost to contribute to its development..."

The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain, the little fairy of Flying Bear, and the fairy of Jade Maiden chatted, their enthusiasm for collecting flower coins growing ever stronger.

In fact, Zhou Nan had not expected that the personalities of these three people were becoming more and more like reality. Zhou Nan placed them in the Fantasy Card World to let them cultivate and become NPCs in the Fantasy Card World, but they actually wanted to become GMs.

Before long, the battle ended, and it was another complete victory.

Zhou Nan returned to the top of Chiyang Mountain and began to digest and absorb the gains from this battle.

Chiyang Mountain continues its journey through deep space to snipe its next target.

Thus, two months later, Zhou Nan wiped out the entire fleet of the Qiluo Star System Guard. Zhou Nan's gains were considerable, with his memory capacity increasing to two megabytes.

With his foundation strengthened, Zhou Nan further improved his Fantasy Card World, creating exclusive warehouses for Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong in the camp, and also opening up a "True Dark Dungeon" at the back of the camp.

The "True Dark Dungeon" created by Zhou Nan is, of course, modeled after the "True Dark Dungeon" in the True Dark family of the card world. However, it does not have as many system functions. It currently has a total of 99 cells and does have the ability to suppress. The strength of the target imprisoned inside will be greatly suppressed.

The reason this Dark Dungeon was built is that the Third Universe not only contains the Thornes, but also some native creatures, such as Deep Space Elves, Deep Space Ghosts, and Deep Space Pegasus.

Some creatures are like wild beasts, possessing primal instincts and higher intelligence than ordinary wild beasts, and can be tamed into mounts or similar animals.

Zhou Nan doesn't need a deep-space mount now, but ordinary humans who can't fly will find it difficult to move an inch in deep space. Zhou Nan has a vague premonition that recruiting card warriors will greatly help his cultivation in the future, so he wants to tame some of them to use as mounts for future card warriors.

Zhou Nan entrusted the taming work to the Mountain God of Chiyang Mountain, Flying Bear Fairy, and Jade Fairy. He was only responsible for capturing these native creatures and imprisoning them in the Black Card Dungeon.

"The Qiluo Guard has been completely annihilated. There are no more rivals in this star system. However, powerful figures from other star systems have also arrived!"

Zhou Nan sensed something and immediately ordered Chiyang Mountain to stop. At that moment, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared in front of Chiyang Mountain, and a mechanical giant ten zhang tall emerged from the vortex.

This mechanical giant looks somewhat like a Thorne, with steel sword wings on its back. It is not made of flesh and blood, but is a mechanical life form. There is a huge bright red number on its chest: "68".

"Thorne, the War Angel! Level 600! He could pinpoint my location and grab me directly; he must have a deep-space probe!"

Zhou Nan glanced around and immediately learned about the mechanical giant ahead.

"The will of deep space cannot be defied, Thorne War Angel 68, Libira, I have come to capture you, surrender!"

The mechanical giant identified himself.

Zhou Nan was too lazy to waste words at this point. With a thought, five cards flew out from the Chiyang Mountain gate. They were all nine-star purple cards, and they transformed into Nuclear Power Sword Immortal, True Greatsword God General, Super Demon Zhou Batian, Panda Flower Pan Hongyan, and Old Dragon King Ao Jiaozhu.

It has tanks, ranged attackers, melee fighters, support characters, and crowd control abilities!

This is Zhou Nan's strongest combat squad at present.

Zhou Nan's release of them was not an act of underestimating Thorne's battle angels.

The battle broke out quickly. "Thorn Battle Angel" had two more words than "Thorn Angel," and its combat power was indeed much stronger. It possessed an overclocked vibration battle sword, could spew energy waves from its mouth, and could release lasers from its eyes. It had a variety of attack methods.

Unfortunately, the team of Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal and True Greatsword God General is almost perfect. The super demon Zhou Batian is a very reliable tank. His mind control ability has surpassed the mind controller created by Li Kouhai of the Dragon Slayer Empire, and can perfectly attract the hatred of Thorne Battle Angel.

The old Dragon King, Master Ao, was no slouch either. He could use acupressure and kidney strikes on this Thorne Battle Angel. Once the attack effects were activated, even though it was a mechanical life form, it would be controlled.

The panda flower fairy's flower buds also worked; one after another, iron-corroding flowers and gold-rotting flowers grew from Thorne's battle angel body, quickly destroying its armor and causing it to gradually fall apart.

The [Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal] and [True Greatsword God General] are pure damage dealers, maximizing their attack power.

The entire battle lasted only a little over ten minutes. In the end, the battle angel Thorne turned into a pile of flowers and gold coins. The mountain god of Chiyang Mountain found a torpedo-shaped deep space probe and a black data box in his remains.

In the end, Zhou Nan finished absorbing all the deep space data of the Thorne Battle Angel, and his memory increased by 0.1 megabytes. Overall, killing one of him was equivalent to destroying a fleet of the Qiluo Star System!

Later on, Zhou Nan frequently encountered Thorne's battle angels who were mostly around level 600, with the lowest being level 550, and there was even one at level 650.

As Zhou Nan's cards increased day by day, his combat power naturally grew stronger. He easily accepted the attacks from one or two Thorne battle angels who came to his door, reaping rich rewards. This made him secretly sigh that training in deep space was indeed the right thing to do.

A month later, Zhou Nan had eliminated thirteen Thorne Battle Angels in succession, and his own memory had increased to 4 trillion. However, it would not be easy to hunt Thorne Battle Angels in the future, because he found that Thorne Battle Angels were in teams of thirty, forty, and even a hundred. They acted collectively, advancing and retreating together.

Zhou Nan dared not become arrogant, so he began to play guerrilla warfare, chasing and fleeing, and before he knew it, he had left the Qiluo Star System.

The Thorne Empire is a vast empire in the Third Universe, occupying a star field divided into four star systems: Qiluo, Newman, Doron, and Sgard.

The Qiluo Galaxy has been completely ruined by Zhou Nan, and now he has arrived in the Newman Galaxy.

There is a guard fleet and Thorne battle angels in the Newman system. Fortunately, Zhou Nan can receive deep space information and will not be surrounded. Although he is being pursued and intercepted, he escapes danger without incident.

During this process, Zhou Nan was getting stronger. For him, time was strength, and he was getting more and more nine-star purple cards.

On this day, Zhou Nan finally assembled a Dragon Palace deck with nine-star purple cards.

The Dragon Palace deck consists of six cards: Shrimp Soldier, Crab General, Turtle Prime Minister, Prince, Dragon Girl, and Old Dragon King!

Of course, Zhou Nan's Dragon Palace deck doesn't have any special effects, but it's still very powerful.
