Chapter 640: The Awakening of the Universe Master (Part 1)

2/7 chapter, enjoy.

--------------------

　　"This monster..."

　　Liang Kuan looked at the behemoth in front of him with a shocked expression. This is different from seeing it on the screen as it is very hard to gauge its true size on the screen; Looking at the cosmic serpent in person presents a much greater visual impact.

　　"Everyone, we must take action together and get rid of this monster!"

　　Liang Kuan's expression was very solemn. He is sure that this monster is indeed a universe master. Their universe masters hadn’t been awakened yet, so they needed to stall for time.

　　"Even if you are a universe master, since you dare to act against the Heisenberg empire, then nothing but death awaits you."

　　Liang Kuan snorted coldly. His aura surged as he gathered his energy, then he suddenly flew forward at an inconceivable speed towards Fang Yun.

　　Suddenly, Fang Yun heaved an earth-shattering howl, Liang Kuan's movements paused slightly. Taking advantage of this gap, Fang Yun also flew out.

　　"Be careful!"

　　The other generals behind Liang Kuan suddenly cried out loudly. They quickly gathered their energy and sent huge spacial palms towards Fang Yun, trying to stop him or at least hinder him.

　　Fang Yun didn't pay attention to these giant palms at all. He still flew straight towards Liang Kuan, colliding with him at an FTL speed and sending him flying.

In the next moment, the giant palms of other generals fell on Fang Yun's body, tearing apart his scales and surface flesh, but just a second later, Fang Yun’s injuries disappeared. It was as if he was never injured/

　　"Ah!!"

　　On the other side, Liang Kuan who was flung several light-years away had been injured. Some of his bones were broken, and his chest was slightly sunken down, but his aura quickly stabilized and his body started to quickly recover.

　　Fang Yun has a super-regenerative ability. However, as a half-step universe master, Liang Kuan also has a great recovery ability.

　　The difference between them is that Liang Kuan’s recovery ability is limited. If it’s used frequently, it’s easy to shake the foundation of their cultivation. That’s why many masters choose to retreat into seclusion and recuperate over long periods of time rather than quickly heal themselves.

　　It's a pity that he is in the midst of battle right now. He doesn’t have the luxury to slowly recuperate. He knows very well that if he doesn't recover quickly at this time, then the cosmic serpent not far away will directly kill him.

　　Finally, if either his head or soul are destroyed, then his recovery ability wouldn’t be able to play a role anymore. He will undoubtedly die.

　　“Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!”

　　The other nine people stopped in front of Fang Yun, protecting Liang Kuan behind and bombarding Fang Yun with all the attacks they had at their disposal.

　　The two sides’ war was heaven-shattering. Space collapsed and stars were destroyed. In fact, entire galaxies were broken apart.

　　Fang Yun's current cultivation base is infinitely close to the peak of the sage level, coupled with the strengthening and the many system skills, he was able to fight against the ten powerhouses to a standstill.

　　His recovery ability is too abnormal, and it seems that there are no side effects. Liang Kuan and the other nine are a different story. Although their recovery ability is also quite fast and powerful, it’s not without consequences, forcing them to use it sparingly.

　　Fang Yun is different. He could use his regeneration skills without any scruples, and his recovery ability is terrifyingly powerful. Even if his entire body is shattered to pieces, he can easily recover in a short period of time.

　　“Blood Rebirth”

　　As the name suggests, as long as a drop of his blood remains, he has the possibility of resuscitation. Unless an extremely powerful universe master comes and destroys his body and soul entirely, there’s no way to truly eradicate him. Cultivators of the same level certainly do not have this ability.

　　It is precisely because of this that Fang Yun can freely trade blows and injuries with the opponent. In the beginning, Liang Kuan and the others consciously traded blows with Fang Yun, but upon discovering that he can regenerate endlessly and that it doesn’t seem to affect him negatively, they stopped doing so.

　　The confrontation between the two sides has become more intense. However, the scale and power of the ten war generals’ blows had actually decreased.

　　In the end, Liang Kuan and the others have chosen to stop Fang Yun in the middle. Their sole objective now is to delay him. Perhaps they felt that capturing or killing him was too hard.

　　"We must persist long enough for the ancestor to come and deal with this monster."

　　Liang Kuan said to his companions and they nodded in response. All of them quickly flew around, focusing more on containing him rather than killing him. They mostly focused on defense, mostly attacking when Fang Yun tried to leave.

　　"The task of killing this monster should be left to the ancestor."

　　Liang Kuan attacked Fang Yun who was surrounded by them while thinking internally. Suddenly, his consciousness trembled and a bright light appeared in his eyes.

　　"Everyone! Work harder! One of the ancestors in the imperial capital has regained consciousness. Once he regains control over his body, he will rush over to support us."

　　"What? The ancestor has awakened?"

　　After hearing Liang Kuan's words, the other people immediately exclaimed, their auras becoming much more aggressive.

　　"Hahaha, stop this monster! Once the ancestor arrives, we will enjoy slowly killing it!"

　　One of the generals laughed maniacally, then viciously said.

　　“Roar!!”

　　Fang Yun naturally heard the conversation between them. Similarly, he also knew that currently there is a universe master awakening, and once he truly awakens, he will immediately rush over here.

　　Moreover, after the universe master arrives, these guys will definitely assist him in the battle. At that time, facing the attacks of so many top powerhouses, he will be in a pinch.

　　"I should get rid of these guys first."

　　A force light flashed in Fang Yun’s eyes, his momentum immediately surged out.

　　Fang Yun slowly opened his mouth and whispered in a deep archaic voice.

　　"Die!" 

　　The moment his voice sounded, one of the universe masters on the opposite side suddenly fell in a trace. Suddenly, his eyes registered a giant scarlet mouth approaching. Hr blankly watched as Fang Yun’s mouth got closer before falling into darkness.

　　He was devoured.

　　If he were to be frankly attacked, he could easily recover with the support of the other generals, but after getting eaten and falling inside his stomach, he would never be able to escape.

　　"Damn it, Song Yi!!!"

　　Liang Kuan immediately screeched after seeing such a scene. He had never expected that casualties would emerge in the course of this battle.

Chapter 116: Batman's Battle Armor

Ivan was operating quickly on the console.

At the same time, there was a weird smirk in his mouth.

The remaining dozen mechanical soldiers seemed to have received instructions and instantly ignored the attacks of Iron Man and Batwing. Instead, they rushed to the ground at full speed.

Towards the crowd that was still in the process of being evacuated!

"Shit, are they trying to..."

Tony immediately understood their intentions.

He dived down at the same time.

Batman calmly lowered the head of the Batwing down and followed with the mechanical soldiers.

The artillery fire kept venting on the mechanical army and even destroyed several mechanical soldiers.

Only seven are left.

The mid-air battle between Iron Man and the mechanical soldiers was not far from the ground.

As a result, as soon as they approached the ground, the seven mechanical soldiers dispersed and released firepower toward the crowd.

Machine guns and rockets flooded the center of the fair.

Hundreds of casualties were caused in an instant, and the number was getting higher.

At this point, the Batwing could no longer pursue them.

First, its size doesn’t allow it to move in the Expo. And second, Batman did not want to hurt innocent citizens.

Batman jumped from the Batwing and glided to the ground.

The Batwing flew out of the fair automatically.

"Your plane is good, I like it."

Tony swept past Batman sharply and took the lead to chase the mechanical soldiers.

Batman took out the claw hook gun from his multifunctional belt. The high-speed retractable rope and gliding wing allowed Batman great maneuverability between buildings.

The two rushed to the mechanical soldiers separately. There were too many people around, they could not use a wide range of weapons. Hence, the battle would only be more difficult than before.

"Sir, the remaining energy of the suit is less than 50%."

At this moment, Jarvis suddenly alerted Tony.

"How can it be consumed so fast?"

Tony asked in surprise.

"Sir, the last time you replaced the reactor core was two weeks ago."

Tony's face froze.

Ivan Vanko, who caused the current situation, had not even shown up at this point, and Stark was already running low on energy.

Tony, who had met Ivan, knew that he was not the average enemy and that, if Ivan made a comeback, he would definitely be stronger than last time.

However, the depressed Tony is still the same.

Can he really fight Ivan?

The symptoms of palladium poisoning were getting worse, and the dark green blood vessels had spread from Tony's chest to his neck.

When the blood vessels all over his body change to this color, Tony's life would come to an end.

At this time, drinking the medicine could no longer suppress the toxicity. Tony could only reduce the frequency of replacing the reactor core, but unexpectedly, it led to the embarrassing situation of insufficient energy.

"This reminds me of the experience of the second generation Arc Reactor being snatched by Obadiah, this time there is no second giant Arc Reactor to blow up."

Tony thought to himself mockingly.

The news that Jarvis brought was so bad that it couldn't be worse.

Mathison stared solemnly at the chaos below the expo.

Although Batman is very strong, his hands are tied in crowded places, and mechanical soldiers, unlike humans, cannot be distracted via words from the crowd.

If Ivan gave them the order to kill all the civilians, they would not do anything other than that.

In this way, Batman can only rely on his own body to deal with them. However, this does not mean that Batman has no way to deal with these mechanical soldiers.

"Alfred, it's time to activate that thing."

Batman contacted Alfred in the Batwing.

"Yes, Master Wayne."

Alfred was poised, a few moments after Batman contacted him, he drove the Batwing over Batman.

Alfred pressed a red button, and the tail of the Batwing opened automatically. A huge long and thick metal box was thrown from it.

With a loud thump, it fell to the ground.

Batman tumbled to reach the huge metal box.

The metal box is composed of four different locks. When Batman clicked on the left wrist cuff, the four locks automatically popped up, revealing the space within.

A set of heavy metal armor was standing inside.

The unique black bat helmet was different from the one worn by Batman. In addition to that, this suit was way thicker and had an obvious metallic luster.

"Isn't that suit from the Dawn of Justice?"

Seeing this scene, Mathison was extremely surprised. There is no Superman in this world, yet, Bruce actually built such a suit.

That's not right. The Batman in this world is obviously Bale’s version. How could he make a big version of the battle armor?

Forget it, he is Batman after all. So it's not surprising that he can do anything.

Batman's combat power with the steel armor instantly soared more than ten times.

The protection and the propulsion of his arms and legs are even better than Tony's Mark IV.

The only drawback is that Batman's armor can't fly.

There is also a helmet design with a chin that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

In short, when it fell to the ground, the mechanical soldiers of Hammer Industries were not worthy of being Batman's opponents at all.

Two mechanical soldiers were dismantled to pieces.

Iron Man’s battle was equally easy. His palm cannon and the endless high-intelligence micro missiles quickly demolished two mechanical soldiers.

At this time, Batman had just destroyed the third mechanical soldier.

The remaining two mechanical soldiers were put out by the New York Police Department under the command of Mathison.

Of course, Mathison had secretly assisted them using magic.

He did not want to be exposed, he still wanted to keep his disguise as much as possible.

At Hammer Industries, Ivan was expressionless as he watched all the mechanical army collapse.

"Trash is trash! No matter how you reform it, it still can’t be changed, huh?"

Ivan suddenly turned his head and grinned.

"You came here really fast!"

As soon as the words fell, Coulson and Barton walked in with S.H.I.E.L.D.  agents.

Everyone held a gun in their hands.

"Please, immediately release the control of the robots, and put your hands on your head, Mr. Vanko. Otherwise, I am not sure what accident will happen to you."

Coulson smiled.

While talking, he looked up at Ivan.

A standard Russian hunk, with rough skin, long hair, and tattoos all over his body.

"Puff… hehe."

These words successfully made Ivan amused.

"What are you laughing at?"

Coulson still smiled, looking harmless.

Ivan only followed Coulson's words, put his hands on top of his head, and continued.

"It's no longer necessary. Those broken bricks have all been destroyed."

"And now, is my true moment for revenge."

Chapter 639: Battle Against the Ten Fleets (Part 2)

1/7 chapter, enjoy.

--------------------

　　The five empires will be filled with jubilation if such a thing happens.

　　Of course, that situation would definitely not happen, because if once all ten are about to get killed, the Heisenberg empire will definitely contact their universe masters.

　　Perhaps, the Heisenberg Empire had already contacted their universe master.

　　As time went by, more and more people appeared around Fang Yun. In the end, all ten fleets got around Fang Yun and started attacking him. The number of immortal class cultivators and above increased even further. They all attacked Fang Yun using their most powerful attacks.

　　In addition, two more peak sages joined the battlefield. At this moment, five peak sages along with hundreds of ordinary sages and thousands of immortals besieged Fang Yun.

　　Occasionally, some small wounds appeared on Fang Yun’s body, which was further expanded by attacks from all around, but Fang Yun quickly counterattacked, killing countless people. Moreover, in less than a second, these injuries disappeared.

　　On the other hand, these cultivators were often devoured and turned into pure energy, making him grow further.

　　"My bio-energy is quickly increasing."

　　Fang Yun's eyes flashed. The cultivators around were at least immortals. They are worth an incredible amount of bio-energy. Since the start of this battle, his bio-energy has skyrocketed.

　　"I still need some more bio-energy to evolve."

　　Fang Yun's gaze suddenly locked the most powerful cultivators on the battlefield. That is the five peak sages. At this moment, the five of them felt spooked by the cold gaze of the enormous serpent in front of them.

　　"Damn it!"

　　At this moment, the five sages looked at each other, finding the same solemn expression on the others’ faces. Their body felt like being struck by an electric current, causing them to become even more vigilant.

　　There is no other way, this monster is too terrifying.

　　They are very sure that if it weren't for those thousands of immortals along with almost a hundred sages to be there, they would have no doubt died a long time ago.

　　The power of the cosmic serpent is despair-inducing, but they have to face it. This is the order of their superiors and they don’t have the power to oppose it.

　　Fortunately, many weaker cultivators are helping them distract the cosmic serpent. This can also consume the stamina of the cosmic serpent to a certain extent.

　　“Boom!!”

　　Suddenly, the great serpent blasted away all the nearby cultivators and fixated straight on the five peak sages.

　　"Huh?"

　　The five peak sages felt that sinking feeling in their stomach again. This time, they didn’t hesitate to retreat. Fang Yun suddenly heaved an earth-shattering roar and quickly flew towards them. His body tore past the countless attacks thrown in his way, blitzing through anything and anyone in his way.

　　"Let's take action together and stop this monster. We’ll use our ultimate move."

　　The five of them got closer, then extended their hands. Their hands joined together to create a giant circle, pointing straight at the cosmic serpent.

　　“Haaa!!!”

　　The five peak sages roared together, circulating their cultivation base and the entirety of their energy on their palms, creating a giant light sphere in front of them. The giant sphere pulsed with waves of incomparable aura, capable of tearing through entire galaxies.

　　Suddenly, the giant light sphere collapsed, turning into an extremely powerful energy beam, which flew straight towards Fang Yun, tearing apart anything in its way.

　　“Roar!!”

　　Facing the attack of these five people, Fang Yun just roared, inexplicable fluctuation erupted from him, instantly spreading towards the opposite five cultivators.

　　The five peak sages felt a strange sensation coursing through their bodies; Their vitality is slowly being sucked away.

　　“Vitality Plunder.”

　　Fang Yun can now easily devour other creatures’ vitality using this skill, without the need to devour them or even having physical contact with them.

　　“BOOM!!!”

　　The five people's ultimate move fell on Fang Yun's body, tearing a giant hole in his body. The energy beam tore past his defenses and wreaked havoc across his body, finally emerging from the other side and disappearing in the other end of space.

　　However, there wasn’t the slightest sense of joy in the eyes of the five powerful cultivators. There was only horror on their faces as they felt their vitality quickly seeping out from their bodies.

　　"No, no, no!"

　　The five of them yelled with horror, trying to stop their seeping vitality, but it was to no avail.

　　In about three to five seconds, the vitality of five peak sages was devoured by Fang Yun.

　　"Huh... my bio-energy has greatly increased, as expected of the most powerful sages in the universe."

　　Fang Yun's eyes flashed brightly. He might be able to break through to the final stage of the sage level before reaching the Heisenberg empire. Suddenly, He turned his head to look at the group of cultivators behind with a strange expression.

　　The cultivators behind were all horrified upon seeing the strange way the five peak sages died.

　　"This...this..."

　　Most of them were trembling, unable to even utter clear words. Some of them gritted their teeth and shouted at the rest.

　　"Everyone, go up together, we must stop this monster!"

　　These people quickly woke up. In the Heisenberg empire, those at the top ladder have absolute control over the ones below them. Even if they escape now, they will be killed by their higher-ups later.

　　The moment they heard that, the cultivators gritted their teeth and launched their best attacks.

　　It’s just that, now that the five peak sages have died, these guys don’t constitute much of a threat anymore, even if their number is very large.

　　Countless explosions appeared in this space. The cultivators constantly flew around, attacking Fang Yun from all sides, they especially focused on the quickly healing injury caused by the five peak sages.

　　“Begone!”

　　The annoyed Fang Yun decided to deal with these insects. He suddenly turned into an enormous black hole, devouring and crushing almost all cultivators. A few at the edge managed to survive. They quickly ran away.

　　"This..."

　　On the other side, Liang Kuan and the other leaders almost fainted after seeing this scene. They didn’t expect this to be the final outcome. In just a few moments, the five peak sages died, followed by the massacre of thousands of high-level cultivators.

　　"Liang Kuan, let's go."

　　They could no longer sit still. Now, there is no longer any barrier between the cosmic serpent and the Imperial capital. They must prevent this monster from reaching the capital, otherwise, he will wreak havoc in it. 

　　After all, most of their universe masters are scattered out in the universe. According to their information, there are currently only two universe masters in the imperial capital.

　　The remaining universe masters are all in seclusion in various corners of the universe.

　　"Let’s go!"

　　Liang Kuan roared. He disappeared from his seat and appeared in space, then quickly flew towards Fang Yun.

　　The ten war generals couldn’t sit still at this moment, all of them headed straight towards Fang Yun’s location.

　　"Hurry up, we must stop that monster."

　　"Have you awakened the universe master in the Imperial capital? Hope we can stop this guy until that lord awakens."

　　"This cosmic serpent is definitely at the universe master level. In just an instant, it killed 5 of our most powerful sages."

　　The ten war generals communicated with each other as they flew forward, crossing countless star systems in mere moments. Not long after, they saw a titanic serpent slowly zooming in their perception.

　　"Hiss..."

　　When they finally saw the famous cosmic serpent, the three couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

　　It’s too huge… (TL: That’s what she said)

Note: please head to the Poll, and vote on the next novel that you want me to translate.

New Novel Poll

Hi, everyone. It's Yamir.

I've looked through many novels, including ones that I read and liked and ones that have been recommended to me by readers on discord. I've read quite a few chapters ahead on these novels before narrowing them down to four.

• Live Wilderness Adventure.

This is an exploration/Adventure novel. It's very entertaining and informative. Think of it as a doctor stone-type novel, but is instead filled with information about wildlife, survival tips, and wilderness survival.

The MC has a system. He accepts missions, goes on adventures in the wild, etc... Moreover, through fulfilling the system's missions, he receives many amazing skills and physical strength increases.

However, this is not a power fantasy type of novel. The MC grows to super athlete levels of power at most. He doesn't get to abnormal levels of strength, at least until the last chapter that I read(Chapter 330).

Overall, it's a very entertaining novel, would definitely recommend it.

• The Great Bodhisattva.

Recommended by Sublimis on discord. It's the only cultivation novel among the four.

It's basically a Xianxia/Xuanhuan novel, filled with Chinese references and Buddhism elements. It supposedly goes against the usual cliché/ general tropes and is a new take on the genre.

I honestly hadn't read much ahead on this one, and I don't have the confidence to give it justice as I lack the required knowledge about Chinese literature and Buddism, so translating it will be a great challenge. I added this one because it's great and it was recommended. Though if you end up choosing this one, expect very slow updates.

• This is a Miracle.

This is for the friends that like power fantasy. It's one of my favorites.

This is the story of Bai Luo, a human reborn in a new world. He gets reborn in a remote nordic village, where he is to become its patriarch, lead the tribe to hunt monsters, and survive in this harsh world. However, is it that simple? No!

This is the land of miracles, where everything is possible! Everything and everyone might be a miracle, whether it's the stones below your feet or the person walking in front of you, and only a few selected ones can awaken the true form of a miracle, becoming miracle masters!

This is a kingdom-building type of novel, with a lot of interesting elements. It's filled with exploration and adventure. Powerful beings, stronger than gods walk the earth, and fantastical species are everywhere.

Countless forces and kingdoms fill this immense world, each with their own agenda, struggling to conquer each other. The MC, Bai Luo is transmigrated in such a world, and he will change everything!

The power setting is very grand!

I've read until chapter 270

• I was unexpectedly transmigrated.

This is for the readers that like fanfics. It's honestly a fanfic I greatly enjoyed.

This is basically a multiversal travel-type of novel, where the MC visits many different worlds. It includes many anime such as Konosuba, Re: zero, Demon slayer, Campione, cautious hero, and more.

There is no system! The MC dies and is pulled by Akua by mistake. In response to her mistake, Akua grants the MC two powers, then transmigrates him to the world of Konosuba. The MC will meet Kazuma and Akua later on and teams up with them to set on a grand adventure.

This novel is very entertaining, I liked the pace, the plot, the MC's power development,  and his relationship with his teammates, and lovers. It also doesn't have the stupid Chinese propaganda and super nationalism. Moreover, there isn't the typical Japanese hate, especially in Japanese animes worlds, which ruins the story in my opinion.

I've read until chapter 520

Chapter 115: The Warplane

"Coulson, did things go according to plan?"

Barton contacted Coulson and asked.

"In fact, I didn't expect an attack to occur."

Coulson replied with an awkward tone.

They guarded for so long but they couldn’t detect Phantom Kid. Instead, they encountered a robot attack.

Well, a mechanical army riot can also be regarded as within the scope of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s business.

Even if they have a task, they can't ignore the event that is happening in front of them.

"Coulson, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, another voice rang from Coulson's communicator, it was Natasha!

"What happened, Agent Romanoff; I need as much information as possible."

"These mechanical soldiers are all from Hammer Industries, but Justin Hammer himself seems to have no idea about what’s happening. Tony believes that Ivan Vanko is behind it all."

"These robots are all under Ivan's control, so if we take him out, this incident will be resolved."

"Where is Ivan Vanko?"

"Still in Hammer Industries!"

Coulson nodded.

"Barton, call the team, we need to move..."

"Boom!"

Under Ivan's remote control, the mechanical army turned into terrifying killing machines.

Countless artillery fire exploded everywhere, and the center pavilion turned into a pile of rubble in a moment.

Since the first shot, the audience has already started to flee in panic.

The battle between Iron Man and the Mechanic Army left the venue in a mess. Yet, no one was hit directly by the gunfire.

Only a small number of casualties were caused by the bricks or walls falling around.

At his sight, Mathison had to exclaim at the ability of New Yorkers to avoid danger. Their quick evacuation had amazed him!

It is absolutely impossible to see such a scene in Gotham.

Obviously, the two cities are so close together, why is the gap between the two neighbors living on the opposite side of the bridge so vast?

"Everyone, give up all current actions and evacuate the crowd as soon as possible!"

"The combatants are in place, ready to help Iron Man defeat the enemy at any time!"

"The order forbidding firing is lifted, just shoot the robots that are slaughtering civilians!"

Mathison gave orders to all the police officers in George's voice.

In his impression, the combat effectiveness of these mechanical soldiers was not enough to bring down Iron Man.

Coupled with the assistance of more than a dozen armed helicopters, one wouldn’t worry about losing to Ivan Vanko!

"Quickly, put the helicopter in position, report the overall situation at all times, and then seize the right timing to destroy the mechanical soldiers!"

Just a second ago, Iron Man flew into the sky from the central exhibition hall. It was for the sole reason to lead the mechanical army to an empty location to fight them at ease, so as not to accidentally injure the civilians.

Given that Tony has not yet developed the fourth generation of the Arc reactor, the energy efficiency of the Iron Man suit is actually not substantially improved.

Therefore, the speed of the steel suit is faster than that of the mechanical soldiers made by Ivan, however, it is limited.

When Iron Man flew away a certain distance, these mechanical soldiers gave up chasing Tony, and instead directed gunfire at innocent citizens, forcing Tony to slow down, to ensure that he and the mechanical army would not be too far apart.

Tony kept a distance of two hundred meters or more.

"Sir, we're locked on, emergency evasive action recommended."

Jarvis's announcement sounded from inside the steel suit.

"What?"

Before Tony could hear it clearly, Jarvis helped Tony control the suit and slam it down.

Then several rockets flew past Iron Man's original position, with attacks from above as well as from the left and right sides.

Although he dodged the attack, because he flew downwards right about now, Tony flew directly into the mechanical army behind him.

Then in the sky, Iron Man began his fight with them.

At this time, Iron Man could not destroy the mechanical soldiers of Hammer Industries as easily as in the movie.

His palm cannon can only destroy the outer armor of a mechanical soldier.

It takes at least three rounds from his palm cannon to completely destroy one.

The mechanical soldiers are always moving at a high speed, and Tony can't guarantee a hit for every attack. In this way, the energy consumption of the steel suit will be very fast.

Fortunately, Tony's suit materials are far better than those used by Hammer Industries, and the conventional weapons of these mechanical soldiers basically can't hurt him.

"Sir, we are close to the target..."

At this time, several helicopters approached the battlefield of Iron Man.

They wanted to aim their guns at the mechanical soldiers to lock them on target, but their maneuvering speed was too fast, and human reaction could not keep up.

"We can't lock the target, the opponent is moving too fast!"

On the rooftop, Mathison really didn't know what to say. The co-authored police are really useless at everything… except for evacuating the crowd?

It seems that, in the end, it is really necessary for him to play.

"Ta-Da-Da-Da..."

Suddenly, an eager machine gun sounded from the sky.

An oddly shaped black warplane from nowhere bursted them on fire!

Even Tony in the battle group was within the range of that firepower.

"This guy actually brought the Batwing over!"

Mathison was stunned by the sudden scene, he thought Batman had left the fair.

The Batwing's firepower was very fierce, and it soon destroyed three or five mechanical soldiers.

The wreckage of steel fell from the sky to the ground.

"Hey, which side are you on?"

Tony shouted angrily.

"The armor thickness of these robots is much worse than yours. I adjusted the firepower output making it impossible to harm you."

Batman's hoarse voice emerged from the fighter plane.

Even through the heavy armor, Tony could feel Batman's "indifference".

"Boom!"

At this time, the Batwing launched a dozen micro missiles which flew towards the mechanical legion.

The mechanical soldiers also fired rockets at the same time, trying to intercept Batman's micro missiles.

However, ten mechanical soldiers were still destroyed.

The mechanical soldier's rockets hit the Batwing, but they were not even qualified to shake it.

Batman usually doesn't use these weapons, because he never kills people, no matter if they are good or bad.

Obviously, robots are not humans, so Batman's fighting style got much rougher than usual.

"Is this Batman?"

In Hammer Industry, Ivan looked at the picture on the monitor with a gloomy face.

"How did he fly the Batwing to New York?"

Ivan looked at the time, and then at the Whiplash suit that had been prepared behind him.

He seemed to be considering whether to put it on and kill Tony himself.

It didn't take long for Ivan to shake his head and grin morbidly with a strange grin.

"Now is not the time, not yet…”

"In the sky, the firepower of the Batwing is difficult to resist, so let’s put the battlefield on the ground."

Ivan muttered to himself insidiously.

"Originally, I only wanted to kill Tony alone. Now, you guys are forcing me to have to shoot civilians."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Chapter 98: William's Teacher

William coughed in pain.

..........

The entire scene was silent!

All the students were dumbfounded.

It took a long time before someone shivered and said: "Hey, guys… I didn't… I'm wrong, right? Can someone really blow away a master-level swordsman with one breath?"

"I think something is wrong with my eyes!"

"This must be an illusion! Yes! It is an illusion!"

"Hahahaha...Yes! It's an illusion! What a brilliant illusion! How did he trick us all? This guy is amazing!"

A group of students were discussing hysterically, and they did not want to believe that the scene before them was real!

"Haha! You, humans, are really funny! You can't even tell reality from illusion? Or are you unable to accept this reality and start to deceive yourselves and others?"

Arman looked at the ridiculousness of this group of trainees and couldn't help but mock.

"........"

The group of trainees kept silent, and what Arman said was right. They didn't want to believe it was true at all!

How can someone defeat a level 12 professional with just one breath?

This is impossible!

All students felt that their common sense has been challenged!

This is as ridiculous as telling someone that one plus one equals eight!

"This must be fake! That Dragonborn... must have used some magic scroll right now, without us noticing it!" a student shouted.

"That's right! You must have used a magic scroll!"

Although they all knew that William was no match for Shillong after the previous competition, the final result still shocked them! This duel was unacceptable to them, and they wanted so bad to find out what the problem was.

The magic-scroll explanation was accepted by everyone!

In fact, Shillong really couldn't blow a level 12 swordsman directly into the air, especially in his Dragonborn shape!

He can do so, but only if he is in true form!

While blowing in his Dragonborn shape, he used his repulsive force, which caused the scene that seemed extremely shocking to the onlookers.

Shillong did not pay any attention to these people. Let them guess what happened themselves.

He smiled slightly and looked at William, who was still inlaid on the wall. He did not get up. He seemed to be thinking about something. He used his thumb and index to measure the distance between them and said, "It's a pity! It seems that I am stronger. There is a little gap between us. But don't be discouraged, your strength is very outstanding among human beings."

"........"

William glanced at Shillong silently, and then said: "What the hell happened just now? You just blew me away with one breath? I think it's impossible! Can you tell me what you did?"

"This is my special move, I'm afraid I can't tell you," Shillong said.

"It was presumptuous of me to ask such a question." William said as he walked away from the wall and coughed a few times after standing up, "I didn't lose unjustly, the gap between us is too great! Your talent is really amazing."

"Tom and I lost this time! In the future, we will not remain in your way when we see you around!"

Shillong nodded without saying anything.

Arman smiled with his hands on his hips and walked to Tom, who was pale, and said softly: "Huh?"

Tom's face twitched slightly. He really didn't expect that his brother, who was like a god to him, would lose pitifully!

From his very first two moves, Tom understood that Shillong's strength is very close to that of a legend’s! He is still so young, yet he will obviously be able to advance to a Legend’s level soon!

’With a brother like that, no wonder that elf is so pesky and arrogant.’

‘Perhaps their parents were both legends too?’

Tom thought so, looked at Arman in front of him, and said: "We lost now, what do you want with us?"

"Hey! Your brother said it all just now! You will have to get out of my way whenever you see me! And I feel like I want to go forward now, don't you understand?"

The smile on Arman’s face was very filthy! It is hard to believe that such a smile would appear on the face of an elegant natural elf!

“Phew!”

Tom took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to slap this annoying guy, and silently moved away.

"Hey! Very good!"

Arman took a few steps forward, then turned around and came to Tom again, his eyes flashing with a dazzling light!

“Hiss~”

Tom's eye twitched, and he moved to one side again.

"Hahaha! I'm walking over! I'm walking back! I'm walking over! I'm walking back!" Arman was laughing out loud, while walking back and forth in front of Tom. Poor Tom had no choice but to keep giving way to Arman.

In the end, Tom couldn't stand it. He directly ran out of the dojo!

"Kid! Want me to give way? There are no doors!" Arman looked at the back of the other person while sighing.

A group of students looked at him speechlessly. They glanced at each other, but were afraid to make any comments.

This guy’s brother is too powerful! They can't afford it!

Just when the group of students wanted to disperse, a warrior in light leather armor walked into the dojo.

This warrior is about fifty years old, his temples are a little white, and his hair is short, like steel needles.

He had a rough face and looked very energetic.

His blue eyes looked gleaming.

The swordsman who taught Shillong and Arman before was following behind him.

Both people walked in, and a group of students consciously stepped aside.

One by one, they looked at the middle-aged man in front of them with reverence.

"Master Principal!"

The students shouted.

"Hmm!" The man responded.

He is the principal of the [General Sword] Academy, Troy Farm. At the same time, he is also a legendary swordsman! He is William's teacher.

At this time, he walked to the center. He glanced at William, then at Shillong and the students behind him.

"Teacher!" William saluted Troy at this time.

"William! So many of you are here… what are you doing? Why are you injured?" Troy asked, obviously he didn't come because he heard that his disciple was competing with others...

"Teacher! I'm here to spar with this guy." William pointed to Shillong.

"Did you fight?" Troy said.

"Yes, we did."

"You lost, right?"

"Yes! Teacher! And it was a complete loss!" William didn't feel ashamed at all, he was open.

"That's alright!" Troy didn't blame him because his apprentice lost.

After he said this, he turned his head to look at Shillong and said, "You are student Shillong, right? The student who joined the temporary class of Great Sword yesterday?"

Shillong looked at this guy, thinking internally: ‘I won’t really encounter such a cliché situation? Defeating the young, then comes the old?’

Shillong answered politely,

"Yes."

"I heard you defeated Terry, that's amazing! How old are you? I can't believe you've made it this far!" Troy complimented.

Terry is Shillong and Arman’s instructor.

"Racial talent, it is not worth mentioning." Shillong was very humble.

"What a talent that screams envy! It's almost inevitable that you'll reach the legendary realm in the future! I heard that you came here just to learn swordsmanship?"

"Yes."

"That's good! You have such exceptional talent, you shouldn't waste it! If you want to learn swordsmanship, come and be my disciple!"

Chapter 639: Battle Against the Ten Fleets (Part 1)

　　“Shoo!!”

　　Countless starships pierced through the sky, traveling through space, crossing countless light-years.

　　Fang Yun suddenly stopped, looking ahead with a cold expression. In the next moment, a fleet of starships appeared in front of him.

　　The imperial capital of the Heisenberg empire usually had nine fleets guarding its outer perimeter, but all of them were rushing over, trying to intercept Fang Yun.

　　Of course, the fifth team that is the closest to this area was at the forefront. It flew forward in a sharp sword formation, heading straight towards him. The moment Fang Yun discovered them, they also saw him. Without further ado, they launched an attack.

　　"Fools."

　　Fang Yun sneered upon seeing the intense firepower launched by this fleet. Just a few days ago, Chang Zhang’s fleet did the same, and they suffered greatly. These guys don’t learn from their mistakes.

　　"Holy crap!"

　　In the distance, Zhao Tianshan adjusted the camera to get the best angle. He also saw the storm-like firepower and couldn’t help but exclaim.

　　"The firepower of the Heisenberg Empire is really too strong. I feel that even if an immortal-class such as I were to face it, I wouldn’t be able to resist for more than a few seconds.."

　　Yes, the firepower of the fleets protecting the Imperial capital of the Heisenberg empire is indeed too great. Even ordinary sages might get trapped and even injured upon facing such firepower. However, the cosmic serpent is likely a universe master...

　　This kind of firepower certainly can’t cause any damage to him, but this is just the fifth fleet. The remaining fleets are still on the way. They know that such firepower is certainly not enough to kill or even injure the cosmic serpent, and they never planned to do so.

　　Their goal is just to contain him, at least until the remaining fleets get here.

　　"What kind of response will the cosmic serpent have? I don't..."

　　Zhao Tianshan wanted to state his uncertainty about whether the great serpent could block this wave of attacks. As a result, he shoved his words back in his throat before he finished speaking

　　The terrifying firepower that shrouded this entire area of space was reflected upon approaching the cosmic serpent, flying back towards the fifth fleet.

　　"This..."

　　The commander of that fleet was shocked, but he quickly started shouting

　　"All ships, activate the defensive shield! Hurry up!"

　　“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

　　Even if his reaction was fast enough, not all the captains of these starships were as fast. Many hadn’t had the time to activate the ship’s energy defense and were promptly destroyed.

　　One ship after the other exploded in this area of space, turning into splendid fireworks.

　　"Hiss..."

　　In the distance, hiding behind a planet, Zhao Tianshan said to the camera in front of him,

　　"Everyone has seen it, tens of thousands of starships were destroyed in an instant. As expected, the cosmic serpent is a terrifying creature!"

　　"But as far as I know, this time, this should be only one of the ten major fleets. The other fleets should still be on their way...They’re here!"

　　As Zhao Tianshan talked excitedly, a huge fleet suddenly appeared not far behind the fifth fleet, then quickly approached the battlefield.

　　However, this time, they didn’t intend to conduct long-range bombardment, but rather engage in close combat. It can be said that they had learned their lesson.

　　The giant fleet quickly dispersed into many small teams, which quickly flew towards Fang Yun in a semi-circular formation.

　　"Roar!"

　　Fang Yun roared angrily, his size suddenly increased, becoming a behemoth, hundreds of millions of kilometers long. He completely shrouded this area in darkness. Even the nearby stars and planets looked insignificant compared to him.

　　Almost everyone in the enemy fleet was stunned. They had never seen a creature with such a size.

　　Before they could react, Fang Yun suddenly flew forward, his immense body rampaging across the fleet, destroying countless starships. 

　　"Stop that monster!"

　　On the other side, the ten war generals were still discussing their next plan as they watched the battle. The moment they saw such a scene, they immediately yelled. They ordered the fleet to disperse even further, making it hard for the cosmic serpent’s rampage to cause as much destruction.

　　Soon after, the two sides engaged in a terrifying war. A terrifying behemoth rampaged across space as countless ‘ant’-like starships flew around it and attacked it at a close range.

　　Many cultivators joined the battle. The weakest of them were planet-level. They flew around Fang Yun and used their energy attacks, trying to use their large number to overwhelm this terrifying monster, but unfortunately, even the slightest touch from Fang Yun spelled doom for them.

　　​​In the end, Liang Kuan and the other leaders ordered the cultivators from planet-level to world master level to retreat as they were practically useless. They can only act as cannon-fodder on such a battlefield, and even then they weren’t fulfilling their role well.

　　Only immortal class and above cultivators remained on the battlefield. Thousands of powerful cultivators flew around, bombarding Fang Yun with everything they had.

　　"Wow! Thousands of immortals and almost a hundred sages. As expected of the Heisenberg Empire, but the cosmic serpent doesn’t seem to be under much pressure. In fact, he can calmly respond to their attacks and can often offer a swift response, killing many immortals.”

　　As he adjusted the camera, clearly recording the battle in the distance, Zhao Tianshan excitedly commented. He noticed that three of the cultivators besieging the cosmic serpent are peak sages, but they are still being crushed by the cosmic serpent.

　　In addition, the other cultivators could barely affect the great serpent. His defenses are too terrifying! On the contrary, they are often turned into a bloody mist under his counterattacks.

　　"Too dangerous! Too amazing!! Too cool!!!"

　　Although he was only recording, and far from the battlefield, Zhao Tianshan was still flushed with excitement. This is the greatest battle he ever had the honor to witness!

　　"I wonder when all the ten war generals will take action? They are all powerhouses at the half-step universe stage."

　　"Haha, if these ten powerhouses are also killed, then the Heisenberg empire will face a big problem. Their loss will be great!"

　　It’s more than a big loss.

　　These ten half-step universe masters, led by Liang Kuan, are the ten most talented people among the second generation of the Heisenberg Empire, and important leaders of the military sector.

　　If they fall, then the Heisenberg empire will lose almost half of its high-end combat power, and potentially future universe masters.

Chapter 114: Advance Plot?

Of course, to ensure that Charlie would not be seen, or even if he was seen, he would not be recognized.

Mathison also made some changes to him.

He applied black paint on his whole body!

At this point, Charlie has changed from white-skinned to a pure black dog.

At night, he is much less likely to be observed.

Even if a small number of people saw a black shadow sweeping across the sky, they would only think that it was a bird flying by.

After all, who would have imagined that it would be a dog driving a helicopter and that this dog would also dive via parachute?

Even someone as smart as Batman has never considered this.

Everyone must have already figured out what happened next, Charlie infiltrated from a place that had only a few people to the back of the center pavilion, and then got in through the line channel.

He crawled all the way down the narrow passage to the compartment where the Mountain of Light is hidden, used the laser-cutting device to cut the hardened glass, and took away the Mountain of Light in his mouth.

Oh, yes, before the plan began, Mathison had also disguised as a staff member and specially hid a set of rubber clothes near the corridor behind the exhibition hall, tailored for Charlie.

Despite the technical level of Stark Industries, there should be no minor problems such as line failure or short circuits, but it is still necessary, just in case.

Please note that…

This is not animal abuse!

This is not animal abuse!

This is not animal abuse!

Charlie has higher intelligence than ordinary humans. How can he be regarded as a pet?

At this moment, Charlie had slipped out of the fair without anyone knowing about it.

Along the way, people only saw a weird black puppy running out. As for the Mountain of Light, Charlie held it in his mouth.

The diamond itself is very hard, and its molecular structure is extremely stable.

So, there is no worry about Charlie’s saliva tainting it.

"The Mountain of Light has been taken away by me. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see Mr. Stark again. What a shame! Phantom Kid"

In the empty glass case, there was only Kid's card left.

"Director Stacey, how did the Phantom Kid reach the Mountain of Light?"

Pepper felt that she was now at her wits' end, and after a brief inspection, they found that the passage had not been damaged.

Obviously, it was the same size as before, and it was impossible for any human to crawl through it.

All the people present were on the rooftop now, and none of them left midway.

So basically, it can be ruled out that Phantom Kid is among them.

But no matter how hard they thought about it, it was unfathomable how Phantom Kid got through the narrow passage.

Is it possible for him to change his size?

Almost all of the people present were materialists, and they didn't believe that Phantom Kid had such incredible superpowers.

"Wait, becoming bigger and smaller at will..."

Suddenly, Pepper thought of something.

After she became the CEO of Stark Industries, she has got access to many secret matters that had been kept in dust for many years.

As a result, Pepper saw in an incomplete project that Howard seemed to want to cooperate with someone many years ago, hoping to jointly study a mysterious particle that can change the size of matter.

But that person seemed to have deep preconceptions about Howard and refused his request for cooperation.

However, the information Pepper found was so fragmented that the name of the mysterious scientist as well as the particle was completely erased, even the reason behind the scientist’s hostility remained unknown.

There is no record of the incident in the world except for this piece of crumbling information, and Howard has never been hated by the world.

Howard was loved so much that Pepper thought that this information was just made up by some bored guy who wanted to joke around Howard’s reputation once.

Phantom Kid can steal the Mountain of Light from places that are inaccessible to humans, so...

He is probably the descendant of that mysterious scientist!

Yes, he must be one of the descendants of the scientist who held hatred towards the Stark family.

God, why do people like this seem familiar?

Ah, because it is the same kind of people as Ivan Vanko who appeared a few months ago.

He also knows about Tony Palladium poisoning.

The more Pepper thought about it, the more frightened she became. And the more she thought about it again, the more she believed it was possible.

Perhaps that Phantom Kid and Ivan Vanko are on the same team!

She was so stupid when she actually wanted Tony to find Phantom Kid to ask him about the cure. She is sure about 80% that the whole plan is a "trap" jointly designed by Phantom Kid and Ivan...

At this moment, Mathison, disguised as George, didn't know that Pepper was thinking about him deeply in her mind.

He only found that Pepper's face had become very frightened.

Her face would change its color every now and then…

He honestly thought that she might be suffering from some serious illness.

"Ms. Potts, Ms. Potts!"

"George" suddenly shouted.

Pepper came back to her senses instantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you okay? I have called you several times, and I can't think of how Phantom Kid stole the Mountain of Light from such a narrow space, unless he..."

Mathison said with an exhausted expression.

"Do you believe that Phantom Kid might have the ability to shrink his body?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Pepper took the lead.

Mathison: "???"

Pepper's idea was quite strange.

"Why do you think so? I mean, is it possible that Phantom Kid had stolen the Mountain of Light before we put it away, in full view of us?"

Mathison gave even more bizarre speculation.

"What did you just say?"

Happy suspected that he hadn't heard clearly.

"I said……"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Da-Da-Da-Da..."

Suddenly, several explosions came from below, followed by uninterrupted artillery fire.

Mathison's expression changed and he immediately took out the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Who opened fire?"

While shouting, he ran to the edge of the roof and looked down.

Good Lord!

He witnessed a golden-red robot and more than 20 grey robots fighting together mid-air.

Each grey mechanical soldier had two machine guns on its shoulders, and it was these mechanical soldiers who made the loud noise just now.

"Isn’t this the final scene from Iron Man II?"

How could Mathison not know what the scene before him referred to?

But he remembered that this battle obviously happened after Tony created the new element.

Now, Mark VI doesn't even have a competitor, how did Hammer dare to initiate his exhibition?

In fact, it was not Hammer who had started this early, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions had been delayed.

Because of Mathison's appearance, Tony has been staying with Pepper these days, preparing for his contact with Phantom Kid.

Natasha couldn't find the opportunity to enable Tony and Fury to meet alone.

Therefore, after discovering that the stuff on Tony's chest had not changed, Mathison thought that this part of the story would not happen today.

As a result, he ran into the battle in a daze.

What should he do next?

Should he run away or...

Chapter 638: The Ten War Generals (Part 2)

6/6 chapter, enjoy.

---------------------

　　Liang Kuan asked the soldier again, and the latter took a deep breath and said.

　　"The target has reached the defense line of the third team."

　　"What?" Liang Kuan’s eyes widened. This was beyond his expectations.

　　"Is his speed so fast?"

　　"How about the third front line?"

　　Liang Kuan was starting to get a little irritated. He paced around the room, thinking about their next course of action. He wished nothing more than to get rid of this cosmic serpent now.

　　"The situation on the third front line is very bad. Some soldiers have already received the message that the cosmic serpent is about to arrive and fled."

　　The threat of the cosmic serpent is too great. After all, it can easily kill a half-step universe master, cementing it as a universe master at least.

　　Naturally, many soldiers couldn’t stand the thought of facing such a terrifying creature, causing them to escape in advance.

　　It’s worth mentioning that the Heisenberg empire hadn’t had a full-edged war for countless years, causing their regular army to greatly degrade.

　　"Immediately send a message to the fifth team, tell them to immediately support the third team. In addition, tell the nearby teams to head towards the third frontline as fast as possible. They mustn’t allow the serpent to move further."

　　"As long as they manage to trap the cosmic serpent, inform us right away!"

　　Liang Kuan solemnly said to the soldier in front of him, as long as they delay the serpent, they will immediately head to kill it.

　　Liang Kuan took a deep breath. They must plan extensively to trap and kill the cosmic serpent in one fell swoop. This is the mission that the lord of their country has assigned to him, and he must execute it perfectly!

　　Fang Yun was still flying in space, but he suddenly started slowing down. He had already sensed the massive defensive line ahead, filled with countless starships and soldiers.

　　"Ah, ah, I finally caught up."

　　While Fang Yun was observing the defensive ahead, in a hidden place a few million miles away, Zhao Tianshan suddenly showed up. He hid behind a giant meteorite and broadcasted the scene ahead.

　　Although it was a long distance away, his advanced camera still clearly captured Fang Yun’s image. He almost squealed with delight.

　　"I finally caught up! Huh? Why did the cosmic serpent suddenly stop?"

　　"Oh, yes, the defensive line of the Heisenberg empire should be there."

　　Zhao Tianshan still has some understanding of the Heisenberg Empire, so he immediately realized this. His eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling light.

　　"It seems that a good show is about to start! Hahaha!, let’s see if the cosmic serpent will directly bulldoze through their defenses!"

　　As he excitedly talked to the camera, the giant serpent ahead suddenly moved. He suddenly accelerated to a mind-boggling speed, turning into a stream of light and heading towards the defensive line.

　　An extremely terrifying aura burst out from him, distorting the surrounding space and quickly spreading around.

　　"Haha, this cosmic serpent is indeed no pacifist. He immediately attacked without giving its opponents the chance to talk!"

　　Zhao Tianshan said with a look of shock.

　　”I wonder what will happen next..."

　　Before he could even finish his sentence, he saw an extremely shocking scene. Nine horror-inducing powerhouses suddenly flew out from the defensive line. Each one radiated power unimaginable to mortals.

　　"Damn, the guy who is taking the lead is at least a mid-class sage! The others are all sages! There are nine sages!"

　　Zhao Tianshan was already a bit scared. Even though he is an immortal, sages are still bigwigs that can be hardly seen or touched, but now so many of them appeared at the same time!

　　“Roar!”

　　Just as he was shocked by the sudden appearance of so many powerful people, the great serpent ahead suddenly lifted its head and heaved an earth-shattering howl.

　　“Roar!!!”

　　Fang Yun looked at the group of sages that appeared ahead with a cold expression. He turned into a flash and headed towards them at a massively FTL speed, tearing apart anything in his way.

　　The team on the opposite side immediately released their momentum, combining into a dazzling light formation and flying towards the incoming giant serpent.

　　“Roar!”

　　Fang Yun heaved an earth-shattering roar, quickly approaching the light formation.

　　“Boom!!”

　　The moment the two sides collided, a heaven-shattering shockwave was produced, spreading across an area equivalent to several star systems. At the same time, the light formation broke, and the nine sages exploded, turning into a bloody mist.

　　Fang Yun calmly devoured the bloody mist, turning it into pure energy, before continuing to move forward.

　　"He broke through their defense so easily?"

　　Zhao Tianshan had a look of disbelief on his face. Even if the cosmic serpent is powerful, he didn’t expect its conflict with these terrifying enemies would end after just one collision. This Is ridiculous.

　　When this news was passed back to Liang Kuan and the other generals, they almost vomited blood. The top combat power they arranged in the third team was killed just like that?

　　"Stop him! Stop him!"

　　Although Fang Yun defeated the nine sages defense team, showcasing his unparalleled combat power, there were still some ordinary soldiers that tried to bravely stop him.

　　As countless soldiers flew towards him in a suicide charge, Fang Yun coldly gazed upon them. In the next moment, he transformed into a massive black hole, then continued flying forward, devouring anything and anyone in his way.

　　"It's so fierce!"

　　Zhao Tianshan was overwhelmed with excitement as he watched the massacre ahead.

　　"The strength of this great serpent has definitely reached the universe master level, and it’s dead set on opposing the Heisenberg empire! There’s a good show to watch."

　　A star beast of this level can’t even be called a star beast anymore. It’s a cosmic behemoth! And any force that attacks such a creature is in a hell of trouble!

　　Fang Yun broke through the third fleet’s defense like paper, but other fleets were rushing in this direction, and judging from their speed, it won’t take them long to arrive.

　　However, Zhao Tianshan felt that no matter how many people come, it’s useless. They’re just giving up their life. Previously, he was worried about the cosmic serpent, because he wasn’t truly certain of his abilities, but now he is confident that the cosmic serpent will tear apart anything the Heisenberg empire throws at him.

　　Fang Yun's strength is too great. In Zhao Tianshan’s opinion, if the Heisenberg empire doesn’t send universe masters to deal with him, then they can’t stop him.

　　Of course, even in the Heisenberg empire, universe masters are extremely rare. Moreover, each one of them is in some corner of the universe, searching for a way to reach the next level.

　　“Whoosh!”

　　Fang Yun flew forward at an MTL speed. He could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the capital of the Heisenberg empire. However, the other nine fleets were also getting closer. Soon enough, the two sides will collide.

Important Update

Hi everyone, it's Yamir. How are you?

There's a lot that we need to talk about.

First of all, if you hadn't noticed, we have transferred Nuclear Dragon to Fanstranslation due to some reason. Chapters 1 to 76 are still on reincarnation palace if you need to visit them, but chapters after that will be on Fanstranslation.

Speaking of Nuclear Dragon, we have reached goal 4 last month. Although the number of patrons has fallen below the mark this month, I have increased the number of chapters ahead as I promised.

Secondly, we have changed the about section on our website: Reincarnation Palace. We've included the schedule for our two main novels. TOTWDS(6-7 chap/week) and Phantom Kid(5 chap/week). 

We've also added a new feature where you can contribute to bonus chapters. For each 8$ that is donated, we'll post a bonus chapter, up to a maximum of 7 bonus chapters each week, adding up to a total of 13 chapters a week.

Note: This feature is only applicable to Phantom Kid in the World of American comics for the moment.

Finally, we have reached the final month of TOTWDS. It was a wild journey, but it still has to come to an end.

As I mentioned in the previous announcement, you can still recommend any of your favorite mtl novels for me to translate next. Whether it is by commenting, sending me a message here, or on discord.

I have gathered a few novels that I liked along with a few recommendations on discord. After some preparation, I will release a poll next week with links and a brief description of these novels for you to decide, and by the end of the next week. The next novel that I will translate will be clear.

Chapter 97: Shillong's Pride

‘Good boy! What a Showoff!’

‘Originally, I wanted to save you some face, but it looks like it's too late now!’

‘I am very determined to beat you up today!’

As Shillong thought this in his mind, his face remained calm and peaceful.

He smiled lightly and then threw the two-handed sword on the ground.

Cling… Dang~

It was not a loud sound, but it attracted everyone's attention.

"What is this Dragonborn doing?"

"I'm afraid he is going to surrender... He knows he is not a worthy opponent."

"Didn’t he think about it earlier? It's too late for him to surrender now!"

A group of students whispered to one side.

"Are you not going to try fighting me now? That's fine!" William said with a slight shock.

"No! You misunderstood!" Shillong laughed: "To apply the words you have just uttered now, I don't think there will be any need for me to use a sword! Anyway, the outcome is already determined, the winner is definitely me! Come on! I will let you make ten moves first! Otherwise, as soon as I shoot, the competition will end, it would be too boring!"

"Hmm!" William's eyes widened instantly!

His face was faintly red!

He was angry!

How dare someone speak to him in such a manner!

He is a genius swordsman who is known as a future legend!

He is the strongest genius in the academy!

A swordsman that even the teachers of the academy had to face with caution!

And now he's being underestimated by a temporary student!

Without weapons? Who does he think he is?

Everyone knows that, in a match between two swordsmen, a good or bad weapon can determine a victory or defeat to a great extent!

And obviously, in a fight of swordsmen of the same level, the one with a weapon can easily beat the one without a weapon!

When you have a weapon in your hand, you have the initiative to attack. If you don't have a weapon, you can only avoid it passively. In addition to that, it is absolutely challenging to counterattack a flying sword.

Is he planning to catch a blade with empty hands?

If his strength is not at least four or five levels ahead of his opponent, he shouldn’t even think about it!

William was triggered by Shillong's showing off.

This man is more arrogant than him!

The onlookers on the side of the field were naturally furious!

“Someone, again, dares to underestimate the genius of their academy!”

“Who does he really think he is? A legendary swordsman?”

A group of people could no longer restrain themselves, and they were pointing at Shillong while cursing at him.

"You damn Dragonborn! How dare you be so arrogant! William, step back! Let me teach him a lesson!"

"It is me who should teach him that lesson! I will make him kneel and beg for mercy!"

"I want him to confess his weakness, for what he just said!"

These students were boiling with anger! Shillong looked down on William and said that he is weak, doesn't that mean they are weaker, a mere waste of the Academy?

After all, William is the genius among them. Who would ever refuse to live in his shadow?

"Shut up!" Shillong looked at these onlookers and shouted in a deep voice.

Although he understood why these people had been angry, this did not mean that he would allow this group to scold him!

He has been living in the human world for some time now, and he has a deep understanding of their weakness!

It is just a group of ants, weak enough to be trampled to death accidentally by him!

He should only cautiously and carefully avoid their fragile life so they can remain alive.

Shillong, being able to treat them normally, is already a gift from God to them! Yet, this group of fellow academics are still not satisfied...

In this life, reincarnated into a dragon, he is extremely proud in his heart. The reason why he usually treats ordinary people politely is due to the influence of his previous life. It’s his greatest respect for his previous race.

Why are they still not satisfied?

The stream of golden particles in his eye sockets was rioting!

The air in the whole room sank.

The light of the room started flickering, brightening and dimming!

Everyone, including Arman, were gasping, and all the words disappeared from their minds!

Boom… Boom… Boom...

All that was left was the sound of an unmistakable heartbeat.

The sound of the heartbeat was so loud, as if it was about to jump out of someone’s chest. Everyone's face was red, and sweat on their foreheads was dripping down.

They covered their chests, as if they wanted to slow down their heartbeat, but it didn't help.

Their eyes were full of surprise.

Huu~~~

It was as if a wisp of breeze was blowing.

This kind of anomaly only lasted for a few seconds, and then disappeared, as if everything just now was an illusion. But that illusion was so REAL that it was terrifying!

A group of students looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened about now, thinking it was something to do with the Dragonborn in front of them, which made them bow their heads in shock, not daring to speak again.

These students were in a full shock!

Shillong turned his head and didn't pay attention to them. This was a mere warning. This group of trainees, mostly between the 7th and 9th levels, couldn't bear his dragon might at all!

Including Arman, who was in the form of an elf, was taken aback. This latter was giving Shillong a fierce look at this moment, seemingly to be questioning why he was even implicated in the mess?

Well, it cannot be helped! A Dragon's aura belongs to the AOE type and its pressure cannot be controlled.

It cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

Re-facing William again...

This guy is much stronger than those onlookers.

It's just that his face was flushed and there was a bit of sweat on his forehead.

But he is very different from before!

That is, his attitude towards Shillong has changed!

His face became extremely cautious.

The left hand behind his back was also placed in front of him, and the sword in his hand was held tightly in both hands.

Although he didn't know what happened just now, he also thought it had something to do with the Dragonborn in front of him.

Shillong may be very strong… much stronger than he thought!

‘I must go all out!’

‘This duel will be like the one I have with a teacher!’

"Please, let me know when to start!" William said with a serious face.

"Come on," Shillong said.

In just a blink of an eye, William disappeared from his original place and appeared in front of Shillong.

Seeing the slightly rounded tip of the ironwood sword getting closer and closer, until it was just a few centimeters from his head. Shillong still did not move, but the wings behind him did!

He slapped William's ironwood sword suddenly!

“Snap! “

A huge force slammed on the sword, and William felt like he was hit by a huge raging pig.

'His body tilted slightly and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he used his feet in time to stop the side fall. Before he could think about it, he instinctively changed his move, and the sword in his hand slashed towards Shillong's waist.

Shillong's right hand leaned forward, and when his opponent was about to cut him, he instantly pinched the sword!

William wanted to move, but found that he couldn't move any way! The whole sword seemed to be fused with a piece of overweight metal, and it couldn't be shaken at all!

William looked at Shillong in horror. He knew that the gap between him and his opponent was too great!

To attain this level, he should be about ten times stronger than right now!

Just when he was about to open his mouth and confess his defeat, the Dragonborn in front of him suddenly released the ironood sword, and said, "Come on! Continue! I'm still fine!"

William gritted his teeth and wrapped his whole body in Sword Qi, transforming into a fierce swordsman!

The sword in his hand danced into a streak of shadow.

The sound of clanking kept coming out!

All his sword attacks were blocked by Shillong's long nails!

As a Dragonborn, his nails are about one centimeter long.

But this one-centimeter-long fingernail was completely enough to block all William's sword attacks!

This was a huge blow to William! His face was defeated, sweat kept slipping down his forehead, seeing that the attack had been ineffective.

He could only inject all his Battle Qi into the sword. The next moment, in the eyes of all the students, the one-handed sword was divided into three!

There seem to be three swords!

A sword stabbed at Shillong's head, the second aimed at his throat, and the third at his body!

Apparently, it is William's teacher’s technique. The legendary swordsman invented Troy Fame, the splitting light sword!

The onlooking students were excited!

Seeing the sword getting closer and closer to the opponent, William didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. Even with his strongest stunt, he wasn’t confident he could beat the opponent!

The gap between the two sides is too big!

But he doesn't want to lose miserably!

Shillong, who was on the opposite side, opened his mouth at this time, revealing the sharp teeth inside. William could see it as bright as day, and then the other party gave him a light breath...

“Boom! ! ! !”

An incomparably large force suddenly descended on him!

His entire body was wildly knocked out by this force!

The next moment, William’s entire body was already embedded in the wall after ten meters!

The sword in his hand has long been out of his grip.

William groaned in pain.

What had just happened?

Shillong only took a breath and defeated him?

This is impossible! Although he was discouraged, he did not lose his mind.

Chapter 113: The Mountain of Light, stolen!

"Coulson, I saw him, what now?"

After receiving Coulson's notification, Barton immediately turned his attention to Iron Man.

"Pay attention to Iron Man’s movements, we need to..."

Before Coulson finished speaking, Barton suddenly said anxiously.

"Iron Man started to move at high speed, he is diving under the center pavilion!"

Coulson hurriedly turned to the bottom of the exhibition hall.

Then he saw Justin Hammer dancing wildly in the booth.

Because of the sudden disappearance of Phantom Kid and Batman being chased by the police cars, leaving the scene, the audience lost their attention for a while.

This made Hammer take a fancy to the opportunity.

He was fortunate that he hadn’t just canceled the exhibition brainlessly. Instead, he accepted Ivan's suggestion and continued to wait.

Sure enough, he was waiting for a good surprise.

At this time, Hammer must re-attract the audience's attention.

What should he do for that sake?

Very simple: perform an awkward dance.

Hammer had only to listen to a piece of seductive dance music played on the stereo in the center pavilion, and then twist his hips to the front of the stage following the rhythm.

This act really attracted the attention of many viewers.

And only after a short while, all the audience turned their attention to Hammer, and it didn't matter whether they were in the mood of watching a monkey dancing or a technology show.

One has to admit: Hammer is extremely shameless, he doesn't care about people's weird looks. He proudly praised the mechanical army he launched with a mysterious expression.

With a wave of his hand, Hammer raised three teams of robots with roughly the same shapes from under the floor, with only minor differences.

Each team is composed of 8 robots, for a total of 24.

"These are the future warriors created by Hammer Industries for America, this is the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy!"

The audience roared with laughter, because the shapes of these robots were so ugly that they could not be looked at directly.

The army looks clumsy.

Only the military leaders were still watching carefully. The aesthetics of weapons are meaningless to them. Combat effectiveness is what they value.

They hope that the performance of these mechanical soldiers is the same as what Hammer preached.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground emerged.

A golden-red "robot" was seen landing on one knee and slowly rising in front of Hammer.

"Where is he, Ivan Vanko?"

Iron Man stared at Hammer and asked coldly.

"Hey, Tony, we..."

All of a sudden, Hammer was frightened by the battle suit and suddenly became incoherent.

What they didn't notice was that every mechanical soldier in the Hammer Industrial Machinery Corps had a strange red light in their eyes...

At the same time, Chief George raised his hand and looked at his watch, and found that the time had exceeded the time previously stated by Phantom Kid.

"Ms. Poz, I think we need to confirm the safety of the Mountain of Light."

The sudden words made Pepper and Happy's eyes clench.

"Why is that?"

Pepper asked warily, taking a few steps away without a trace.

George noticed Pepper's stepping back but didn't take it personally.

After all, he just suggested putting away the Mountain of Light. After only a few minutes, he changed his mind, it’s indeed weird.

And so, George had to justify himself.

"Kid has exceeded the time he scheduled, but he hasn’t appeared yet. So, there are only two possibilities."

"First, Phantom Kid gave up on today's action. It may be a complete abandonment, or he might look for opportunities in the future."

George looked at Pepper meaningfully.

"Second... he has already stolen the Mountain of Light!"

"So we must make a final confirmation to ensure that the Mountain of Light is still safe and sound, and only then will we know whether it is the first possibility or the second."

"If that is what you are considering, then there is no need to make a confirmation."

Who knows, Pepper smiled generously.

"The treasure room that houses the Mountain of Light is actually not a real secret room, but a small compartment specially dug out of the floor."

"Except for the specially built lifting device, there are only a few lines that lead to this compartment. Although Tony has designed it to be large enough, it is absolutely impossible to accommodate an adult."

Pepper smiled confidently.

"Not to mention an adult, Phantom Kid wouldn’t pass through even if he transforms into a seven-year-old kid."

"Ms. Poz, have you forgotten what I just said? Don't you try to underestimate the Magician under the Moonlight."

George said solemnly.

"It may not be a challenge for Kid to get access to places others can’t get to."

"I know it's very abrupt when I say this now, so in order to prove my innocence... I will go to the edge of the building. Happy, you can come over and keep your eye on me?"

George moved away from where he stood before and walked to the edge of the building.

It's more than ten meters away from here.

After reaching the position, George again assured Happy to keep him under observation.

"Even Phantom Kid can't cross this distance in an instant, so you don't have any doubts, Ms. Poz."

Seeing that George's attitude didn't seem to be fake, Pepper became suspicious, and she glanced at Happy.

Happy knew it, and walked towards George, stopping between George and Pepper.

Then, Pepper began to operate, and the counter of the Mountain of Light quickly rose.

"What in the fuck!"

Suddenly, Pepper screamed.

"The Mountain of Light is gone!"

Everyone in the court was startled and turned their eyes to see that the counter was indeed empty!

The thick hardened glass was cut with a circular gap.

But just a few minutes ago, they saw the Mountain of Light descend in with their own eyes!

And according to Pepper's description, it is absolutely impossible for an adult to get into the secret compartment that preserves the Mountain of Light.

Could it be that Phantom Kid pierced the middle of the floor?

However, upon thinking about it, it’s impossible.

When everyone was in shock, "George" showed a strange smile.

I believe many people have guessed it. That’s right, George is the person Mathison disguised as.

The real George was stunned by Mathison in the bathroom long before he entered the stadium.

In order to prevent the police chief of the American comics world from possessing some unspeakable mysterious power, he deliberately used a dose that would make people comatose for three days. And so, he didn't worry at all that George would wake up midway.

As for the Phantom Kid that appeared before, of course, it was the Phantom Magic used by Mathison.

That is the trick he used in Gotham to dispel Barbara's suspicion.

Unit No. 7 was indeed piloted by Charlie at the beginning, otherwise, it would not have hovered in the sky.

But when Charlie installed the mechanism on the helicopter’s lever, he jumped off it.

Charlie’s size didn’t allow him to use hang gliders, only a parachute.

Fortunately, Charlie's size is small enough that when everyone's attention was hooked by Kid's Phantom, no one noticed him.

Chapter 112: Vanko's Call

Pepper's persuasion was very effective, and Tony stopped talking.

And George also remembered that he had almost offended the very person he shouldn't offend just now.

"I was rude, Ms. Poz."

He could only calm down, as Pepper insinuated.

"Sir, there's a call for you, but it is an undisplayed number."

Suddenly, Jarvis's voice emerged from the suit, and Tony's eyes twitched. Who would call him at this time?

Could it be that...

"Excuse me, I need to answer the phone."

Tony activated the palm cannon, rising into the sky from the top of the building, stopping in the air for hundreds of meters.

"Jarvis, get on the phone."

"Hey, Tony, are you okay? It's great to hear from you again... I doubled the speed."

As soon as he answered the phone, Tony heard an English with a strong Russian accent, the voice talking was familiar.

The other party first greeted him plainly, and then changed the conversation abruptly.

"Ivan Vanko."

Tony remembered to whom this voice belonged in an instant.

"You said it was too inefficient to get the counter-energy through the ionized plasma channels and suggested that I double the speed to create more energy, which I did, and it was good advice."

Inside Hammer Industries, Ivan grinned.

"Ivan, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be this quite energetic."

Tony argued with Ivan while letting Jarvis trace the source of the call.

"Haha, coincidentally, that's what I thought."

"Palladium poisoning doesn't feel that good, huh?...hahahaha."

Ivan laughed strangely.

"You happen to be at the expo right now, it saves me a lot of effort."

"Watch carefully, Tony, I will let the Stark pay for all the sins they committed, everything your father has done to our family in the past forty years."

"I will do it to you in the next 40 minutes, and then completely rewrite Stark's family history!"

"Sounds good, we can have a good chat."

Tony continued to talk with Ivan, and then asked Jarvis, "Jarvis, did you find him?"

"Sir, we are hacking into the Oracle telephone network... we tracked the target to the east coast of the United States... New York... Manhattan and neighboring boroughs..."

Almost there, only a few more seconds...

"I hope you are ready, Tony."

At this moment, Ivan didn't give Tony a chance and hung up the phone.

He had long known that Tony would try to track his location.

Although Hammer Industries did not have powerful artificial intelligence, the network barrier that Ivan built himself was not easy to break, so he hung up the phone before Jarvis found Ivan's proper address.

"Manhattan is near... the Expo..."

Tony gazed down at Justin Hammer who had already stepped onto the stage at this time and then thought of the location of Hammer Industries.

It goes without saying that it was Hammer who saved Ivan.

It's no wonder that Hammer has become more and more arrogant recently.

It's a pity that Hammer is still as stupid as ever, choosing someone he cannot handle, like Ivan, to help him.

Ivan is like a cruel and cunning Siberian wolf. On the surface, he is working for Hammer. But in fact, he has secretly poured a lot of resources from Hammer Industry on himself.

That mechanical army he created, in fact, is nothing more than a team of broken iron to build up mass-produced cannon fodder, their actual combat power is quite trash.

The few cutting-edge materials have long been unknowingly taken by Ivan secretly to build his own battlesuit.

His Whiplash was specifically designed to take out Mark IV.

On the other hand, when Tony hurriedly flew up to the sky to answer the phone, Director George and Pepper and other people looked at each other.

In addition to Pepper and George, Happy is also here, and there are also George's elite policemen around him..

"Ms. Poz, do you know who is calling Stark?"

George asked suddenly.

"Looking at Stark's expression, he doesn’t seem at ease."

Pepper shook her head and said, "I can't think of anyone. I would have guessed Colonel Rhodes before, but now, their relationship is tense."

"In other words, the person calling Tony right now is not someone you are familiar with?"

"In fact, Tony doesn't have a few familiar people who will call him, including his exes."

Speaking of this, Pepper's expression was a bit unnatural. She doesn't know how others thought of Tony's romantic affairs at that time, but she herself didn't want to mention Tony from that time.

"Well..."

After listening to Pepper's words, George fell into deep thought.

"At this point in time, if the person calling Tony is not someone you are familiar with, then it is most likely a call from Phantom Kid!"

George said gravely.

"Phantom Kid! But how could he know Tony's private number?"

Pepper asked suspiciously.

"Don't forget that he pretended to be Colonel Rhodes to lie to you, Ms. Poz. Don't underestimate the Magician under the Moonlight."

George's expression at the moment was extremely serious, causing Pepper to be inexplicably affected.

"With Phantom Kid’s abilities, it is not difficult to know Stark's private number."

"If it's really Kid, why should he contact Tony?"

Pepper was still doubtful.

"Other than that, there is no other reasonable explanation."

George said solemnly: "Maybe Phantom Kid wants to get Stark out of here. After all, if Iron Man is here to guard the Mountain of Light, it will be difficult for him to find the opportunity to steal it."

"Kid's usual smoke bomb will fail in front of Iron Man’s suit."

Pepper nodded, George's speculation was very reasonable.

"So, do you think Phantom Kid will appear after Tony leaves the zone?"

"You are right, Ms. Poz. That's what I think."

George agreed with Pepper's idea.

"So, I think it's still better to activate the security device now, it will take back the Mountain of Light to the treasure room."

"In this way, be it Kid or not, we can deal with the one phone-calling Mr Stark."

Pepper thought for a while and nodded: "You are right, Director Stacey."

Pepper walked to the counter where the Mountain of Light was placed and quickly clicked on the booth. A button protruded from the front of the booth, and Pepper immediately pressed the switch.

Then the entire counter was embedded in the floor with a slight rumble.

"Barton, there is a situation!"

Coulson contacted Hawkeye on the roof of a building 1,600 meters away from the center exhibition hall.

"Iron Man suddenly lifted off, the coordinates are..."

Chapter 638: The Ten War Generals (Part 1)

5/6 chapter, enjoy.

------------------------

　　Countless people flocked to Zhao Tianshan’s live broadcast, among them were naturally the citizens of the metaverse league. They are currently the most sensitive to this type of information.

　　"It's truly Master Ouroboros."

　　In the Metaverse league, Luo Feng was also watching Zhao Tianshan's live broadcast. He naturally saw Fang Yun’s back figure and it’s safe to say that he was delighted.

　　However, a touch of worry immediately appeared in his heart, but he also knew that he doesn’t have the power to affect anything, so he could only watch Fang Yun’s figure on the screen with a look of worry.

　　"Hahaha, do you see it everyone, the cosmic serpent is heading towards the Heisenberg empire? Follow me to watch its next actions."

　　Zhao Tianshan said to the camera next to him. His starship flew forward at a mind-boggling speed, but it still struggled to keep up with the cosmic serpent. As he continued to move forward, the live room can be said to have exploded.

　　"It’s truly a live broadcast of the cosmic serpent! Does this guy dare to follow behind and record this kind of creature, isn’t he afraid to be killed or get swept in the aftermath of its battle?"

　　"Hehe, the strength of this streamer does not seem to be weak. Judging from the fact that he can manipulate such a starship to keep up with the cosmic serpent using just his power, he’s probably an immortal class. As long as he is careful enough, he might be able to escape, but streamers as courageous as him usually don’t live long."

　　"Yes, this streamer is very likely to die in case a battle breaks out."

　　“In fact, the streamer might get by the cosmic serpent before the battle even starts. I know for a fact that stalkers are annoying.”

　　As he closely followed behind the cosmic serpent, Zhao Tianshan turned around to look at the live broadcast from time to time. He was speechless upon seeing the many comments below the live stream. Most of them were speculating on how long he could live.

　　At this moment, Fang Yun also discovered the little streamer behind him. However, he didn’t mind. The streamer didn’t radiate any trace of killing intent or hostility. It’s just a live broadcast, he doesn’t mind it.

　　Moreover, he decided to leak some news about his current situation. It’s a well-known fact that he is heading to attack the Heisenberg empire. The higher-ups of the metaverse league should be feeling especially worried at this moment, so it’s okay to leak news of his safety to reassure them.

　　"What did you say?"

　　Just as Fang Yun was rushing to the imperial capital of the Heisenberg Empire, a meeting was being held in a space near the empire’s capital.

　　"You guys must know the reason why I summoned you here. At present, our Heisenberg Empire is facing a lot of pressure. If we don’t deal with this matter properly, it could cause us a great loss. Everyone should be very aware of our problems, so I would like to hear suggestions from you.."

　　“This..."

　　All the people present hesitated, one of them asked with a sarcastic expression,

　　“Aren’t we facing just a half-step universe master? It’s not even a proper universe master, why is it giving us such pressure?"

　　The man who first spoke looked offended. The almost accusatory tone caused him great discomfort.

　　"If you think this situation is easy to deal with, then deal with it yourself!"

　　The people around silently watched with amusement. Many of them think that the cosmic serpent is not a mere half-step universe master, but a complete one. A true universe master that stands at the top of the universe. Naturally, beings of such a level are not easy to deal with.

　　Hearing this, a trace of disbelief appeared on the face of the person who previously spoke. Many others sneered in response. One of them even taunted him.

　　"Haha, so don’t you dare go now?"

　　"What did you say!"

　　The man was irritated upon hearing this sentence. He stood up and wanted to explode, but the man sitting at the head of the table suddenly spoke. He is the host and the organizer of this meeting.

　　"Stop talking, everyone. I convened you to determine a way to deal with the cosmic serpent, not to watch you argue here.“

　　The host said kindly,

　　​​"I understand everyone's feelings, but it would be best for everyone to forget the past. Remember, we are here today to cooperate."

　　The moment his voice sounded, the meeting room fell silent.

　　The host was a middle-aged man named Liang Kuan, the head of the United Battle Department's ten war generals. He gathered all these people today to besiege Fang Yun.

　　Up to now, their task, the ten war generals, is to protect the imperial capital. They need to cooperate to protect this huge planet.

　　In the past, the United Battle Department was divided into ten teams. Each one of them led a team, competing with each other for merits, and that’s the source of their conflict.

　　"Okay, Liang Kuan.”

　　Suddenly, an old man stood up and said to everyone,

　　"Now, let's talk about the plan. I know that you won’t call everyone here for no reason."

　　The ten war generals will each command different fleets. They each have different places to guard and different missions to execute. It’s very rare for all the ten of them to be gathered here at the same time.

　　"Yeah."

　　Liang Kuan nodded, "We need to kill the cosmic serpent before it reaches the imperial capital."

　　"Judging from the direction he is coming from, the third and fifth teams will be the first to bear the brunt. The problem is that it will be difficult for the two of you to resist that monster.”

　　He is telling the truth because these two people are only at the peak of the sage level. In fact, they are weaker than Chang Zhang. At least the latter is a half-step universe master.

　　However, the ten of them have been cultivated as a team. They have a combined attack skill. As long as the ten of them gather together, it shouldn’t be difficult to kill the cosmic serpent.

　　"Team 3, Team 5, if your defensive line encounters the attack of the cosmic serpent, then try your best to stall for time. Wait for the other generals to reach your location, then we’ll attack together.."

　　"Okay."

　　The others nodded in agreement. They didn’t have anything else to add.

　　"Report!"

　　Suddenly, a shout sounded from outside the conference room, followed by the barging of a soldier.

　　At this time, Liang Kuan glanced at the soldier and calmly said,

　　"Come in."

　　Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately walked into the room.

　　"What's the matter?"

Chapter 637: The Assistance of the Five Empires (Part 2)

4/6 chapter, enjoy.

---------------------

　　If such a fleet acts as they please in the star beast sea, it would be easy to create star beasts’ stampede, causing a headache to the Heisenberg fleet, so they must stop them from doing as they please.

　　"What's this situation? Have the five empires finally decided to take action?"

　　"Hahaha, the five empires immediately attacked the weakness of the Heisenberg Empire. By arranging a powerful combined fleet in the Star Beast Sea. They can easily cause a giant riot, causing the destruction of the Scarlet Fortress and for countless star beasts to enter the Heisenberg empire."

　　"I heard that the Heisenberg Empire has begun to send more troops to the Scarlet Fortress. It seems that the five empires have chosen to take action the moment the Heisenberg empire's attention was attracted by something."

　　"Yes, but they didn’t directly declare war. According to the news they released, this is just a drill, so I guess that they still have qualms about direct war. Do you think that the Heisenberg empire will win this time?”

　　"This is inevitable. The five empires might have several universe masters, but they are still no match for the Heisenberg empire’s top masters. The cosmic python is certainly powerful, but it’s alone. As long as the top masters of the Heisenberg empire take action, it’s certainly not hard to secure victory."

　　"The only question is the attitude of the universe masters of the Heisenberg empire. Will they directly take action?"

　　Countless people on the network were heatedly discussing this matter. 

　　Back at the metaverse league, Nebula and Luo Feng couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

　　In the past few days, the Heisenberg Empire has placed great pressure on them. Now that the five peak empires have taken action. Although they are not directly targeting the Heisenberg Empire, it still lifted a lot of the pressure on their shoulders

　　"Huh..." Nebula sighed and said, "It seems that the five empires’ grievances with the Heisenberg empire are deeper than we thought."

　　Although not complete, they still received a lot of secrets from the gray mist organization. Some of these secrets greatly shocked them. They knew about the hegemony and the tyranny of the Heisenberg empire, but they didn’t expect them to be that overbearing.

　　​​"At least, for now, we don’t have to worry about the Heisenberg empire personally taking action. We can now focus on the things on our hand,"

　　Nebula looked a bit relieved.

　　"Yeah." Luo Feng also nodded. The metaverse is still under a lot of pressure. The attack of the majority of the neighboring countries is no laughing matter, they have to take them very seriously.

　　"Luo Feng, you should go to the front line."

　　After groaning for a while, Nebula suddenly said.

　　Luo Feng is an immortal-class powerhouse and a powerful one at that. Having him on the battlefield will be a great boost to their army.

　　"Yes."

　　Luo Feng clenched his fists heavily. In fact, he had long wanted to go to the battlefield. It’s not his nature to stay behind and watch as his soldiers fought on the battlefield, but Nebula had always admonished him against that.

　　He would have likely been assassinated by a powerhouse of the Heisenberg empire had he headed to the battlefield before, but now the situation had stabilized, barely.

　　"Haa, I wonder how lord Ouroboros is doing now."

　　Luo Feng sighed. Nebula was also silent.

　　The Ouroboros that they were talking about was heading towards the Heisenberg empire’s capital at the moment. His anger had never been extinguished. On the contrary, it grew more as the days passed.

　　It’s unknown how many planets and stars Fang Yun destroyed along the way, and how many civilizations he directly or indirectly affected. His reputation as the cosmic serpent, devourer of worlds had spread to countless civilizations.

　　His speed is incredibly fast. According to his estimation, he should be able to reach Heisenberg’s capital in three days.

　　Although his heart was filled with boiling rage, his rage didn’t completely obscure his reason.

　　"It's very strange that no one came to obstruct me during this period."

　　Fang Yun felt particularly disappointed. He expected many powerful people to try to stop him along the way, giving him the opportunity to devour them and grow even further.

　　The next day, Fang Yun was only two days away from the Heisenberg Empire. At the same time, his whereabouts were finally revealed to the public’s eyes.

　　Everyone knows that the cosmic serpent is going to attack the Heisenberg empire, and his most likely target is the Heisenberg empire’s capital.

　　Only through destroying the imperial capital can the Heisenberg empire be damaged. By knowing his destination and his departing station, many people were able to calculate the great serpent’s general path.

　　Countless reporters, live streams, and people looking for fame and fortune waited in various locations on the great serpent’s path. Most of them waited not far from the Imperial capital, waiting for the great serpent’s appearance.

　　All of these people were eager to get first-hand information, but they were speechless upon seeing how many people had the same idea.

　　………..

　　"Damn, is this the cosmic serpent?"

　　​​Zhao Tianshan looked at the gigantic serpent flying ahead with a look of horror. He knew that the places near the imperial capital will be filled with competitors and wanna-be reporters.

　　Therefore, he decided to wait in a much further away location, betting on his luck. The chance of encountering the great serpent certainly decreases the farther away he is from the capital, but the number of competitors also drastically decreases.

　　Of course, he had done a series of analyses before and roughly calculated that the cosmic serpent would pass by this area. Afterward, he snuck into this place and patiently, praying that his calculations were correct.

　　Looking at the extremely terrifying serpent in the distant space, Zhao Tianshan felt his heart racing. This is the first time he had faced a being of such might.

　　​​"It's really scary, and it seems that this isn’t his strongest form."

　　Zhao Tianshan said as he recorded the giant serpent far away. After pondering for a few moments, he uploaded the video to the cosmic network.

　　It's just that he has processed the background, making it difficult to easily distinguish the location.

　　In fact, he is not a member of the Heisenberg Empire, but a member of the Changzhi Empire. Naturally, he also hopes that the cosmic serpent can damage the behemoth that is the Heisenberg empire.

　　"Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianshan also had this day. I got first-hand information, hehe."

　　Zhao Tianshan was very happy. He can predict that this video will bring him huge profits. Now, any news about the cosmic serpent is worth a fortune in the universe as countless people are concerned about it.

　　This is why he risked his life to come to such a place, and it can be said that his venture was worth it.

　　After Fang Yun left, Zhao Tianshan quickly boarded his ship and followed behind him. Of course, even though he was onboard one of the fastest starships available, his speed was incomparable to the cosmic serpent. Fortunately, Fang Yun wasn’t using his maximum speed.

　　Moreover, he arranged a lot of manpower in this path, even if the giant serpent accelerates and leaves him behind, he can quickly lock its position with their help, then use the hyperspace to quickly reach its location.

　　"Everyone, the live broadcast of the all-out battle between the cosmic serpent and the Heisenberg Empire is now starting."

　　Zhao Tianshan was extremely excited.

Chapter 111: The Angry George

"Alfred, now, jump!"

Alfred received the instruction and opened the hatch without thinking.

He happened to be caught by the flying Batman.

"Ta-da-da..."

Not every helicopter landed with Unit No. 7 and Unit No. 12, and several helicopters could not land on the roof due to lack of space.

Instead, they kept hovering in the sky.

Therefore, when Batman dived to catch Alfred, these helicopters also descended in height, wanting to continue to besiege the two.

Batman is not that easy to be trapped though.

"Alfred, close your eyes."

Batman caught Alfred, and did not continue gliding, instead, he directly closed the bat glider, and swooped down hastily.

While diving, Batman reached out his right hand and tapped his left wristband.

The ground was also occupied by countless policemen. They were gearing up, waiting for the moment Batman landed and rushing forward to arrest him.

"Huzzah! Huzzah!"

However, before Batman was halfway there, he heard a violent roar behind them.

Looking back, a very cool black car galloped on the street, faster than the fastest sports car currently available, turning and avoiding obstacles more sensitive than any racer.

When a person sees such a high-speed vehicle rushing towards them, their first reaction is to dodge to the sides and give up the road in the middle.

These policemen made the choice any ordinary person would make and allowed the Batmobile gallop past them unimpededly. When it was about to reach Batman's landing position, it automatically slowed down and opened the hatch.

When Batman was about three or four meters far from the ground, the bat cloak behind him opened again, instantly offsetting the impact, and naturally got into the cockpit of the Batmobile under the action.

Batman let Alfred sit in first, and then the driver's seat popped out backwards, automatically, allowing Alfred to enter the back seat.

Then a new driver's seat popped out from below, allowing Batman to sit in.

The whole process was completed in a very short time, so that after Batman had gotten into the Batmobile and drove it out of the police range, these police officers realized what had just happened.

«Is this really something a human can do?»

At this moment, a question arose in the mind of all the police officers who witnessed this scene.

"Master Wayne, we were played so badly by Phantom Kid."

Inside the Batmobile, Alfred sighed.

Now they can no longer distract everyone to find and capture Phantom Kid, because almost all the police have turned their attention to Batman.

A large number of police cars are chasing behind the Batmobile.

Although the speed of a police car is far less than that of a Batmobile, it is impossible for a Batmobile to move at full speed when driving on a street with many pedestrians.

Wanting to completely get rid of the police car chasing behind is definitely not an easy task.

"Alfred, where do you think Phantom Kid will be now?"

Batman asked suddenly, causing Alfred to freeze.

Yeah, Phantom Kid never missed an appointment.

Yesterday he said that he accepted Tony's challenge, as a result, he will definitely come to steal the Mountain of Light today.

But now a series of developments revealed a strange feeling.

From his very first appearance, he created a phantom via some unknown technology, and discussed Batman beforehands to the fundamentals of magic.

It was completely different from yesterday's performance… as if he did all of this to deliberately bait Batman!

"I can't think of any place, Master Wayne, but I'm sure he must still be hidden somewhere in the expo."

Hearing this, Batman laughed mysteriously.

"I think that I probably know what Phantom Kid's plan is..."

"Oh, I hope your thoughts this time will not be misled by Phantom Kid again."

Alfred teased.

"Let's get rid of these guys chasing behind us first, and then verify whether my idea is correct. We need to speed up, Alfred, otherwise we may not be able to keep up with Phantom Kid."

After speaking, Batman made the Batmobile speed up further, focusing on avoiding obstacles.

"The Batmobile... !"

On the roof of the center pavilion, Director George gritted his teeth.

"Last time it was just a small motorcycle, this is why I missed it. Today I clearly ordered a strict inspection of all passing vehicles on the streets nearby. Why didn't anyone find such a big Batmobile?!"

"Does the people in charge of road inspections eat shit for breakfast?"

"Enough, Director Stacey!"

Tony shouted suddenly.

"I've had enough of your policemen's incompetence, and all you do is get mad and angry here. How are you trying to make me believe that you can catch Phantom Kid?"

"My policemen are incompetent?"

As soon as he heard Tony's accusation, George exploded in anger, although he did not have anything to refute.

But he thought that Batman's intrusion was the culprit.

Of course, the most contributory is the Mr. Stark in front of him.

"If it weren't for you to challenge phantom Kid, none of these things would have happened today!"

"Mr. Stark, I have to ask you carefully why you stood here from the beginning, indifferent to everything that is happening outside."

George stared at Tony hard, biting back at him.

"If it weren't for your request that the police not be allowed to open fire at the fair, which restrained our power, Phantom Kid would have been imprisoned in the New York Police Department!"

"And now, you actually blame the incompetence of the police for not being able to catch Phantom Kid?"

"I have to say, Mr. Stark, you are truly a capitalist!"

George's sarcasm flowed into Tony's ears.

"Didn't you say that you have never seen anyone dare to face you who is in your best condition, Iron Man?!"

"Aren't you now wearing your most proud battle suit? Are you not the smartest genius in the world? Then why don't you find out where Phantom Kid is?"

"How about you catch him first, and then accuse our police of incompetence!"

At that moment, George was already on the verge of exploding.

"Yes, that's right, I didn't let you fire, but I didn't say that you are not allowed to use tranquilizing guns. Are you unable to use your mind a little bit, must you only use real guns with live ammunition?"

Unexpectedly, Tony looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he almost pointed to George's nose and called him stupid.

"Shut up, Tony!"

Pepper on the side couldn't stand it anymore, frowning and stopping Tony, preventing him from continuing to add fuel to the fire.

"I'm sorry, Chief George. Tony has such a bad character. You don't need to take him seriously. I pledge by my personality that Stark Industries definitely does not underestimate the police."

Even if Tony's identity and wealth do allow him to not care about the wishes of the vast majority of people in the United States, this does not mean that his company is as well like this.

If George really wanted to wear small shoes for Stark Industries in certain places, Tony would still be disgusting.

Chapter 96: Proud to the Bone

Arman gasped out of annoyance. He looked at William with a frown on his face. ‘This kid is strong!’

‘He is definitely not much worse than the coach who bullied me in the morning!’

‘This bastard! Does a human student actually have this kind of strength? I underestimate them!’

‘And what is the meaning of the human bastards around him? What a bunch of dirtbags! How powerful can a legend be?! I will still naturally become obe in the future’

‘What was wrong with what I said?’

Arman was upset, but he didn't admit his defeat: "That's it; your brother lost to me and let you duel instead of him! It's not fair! I have a brother too! If you can defeat him! Then I lose. But for now, I have nothing to say for losing!"

"Yes!" William said lightly, full of confidence.

This year, at only 18 years old, he was already a master swordsman of level 12, close to level 13!

The masters in the academy said that he has the hope of advancing to the legendary level once he becomes 30 years old!

He naturally has the self-confidence and pride that a genius should have.

"Hey, that's great! Wait here, I'll call my brother right away!" Arman laughed!

Arman doesn’t exactly know how powerful his brother is, but yesterday, he hung the coach up and beat him up!

Shillong wouldn’t have to break a sweat to deal with this kid William.

After saying that, Arman walked out boastfully.

William followed closely, and a group of people joined them both.

Arman saw the movement behind him, turned his head to look at William and said, "What are you doing?"

"I… am following you!"

"Are you afraid that I will run away?" Arman also reacted at this time!

‘Damn humans! How dare you doubt me?’

William did not answer but looked at Arman quietly.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Arman simply ignited him and continued moving forward. Soon, a group of people came to the training ground where Shillong is.

Arman bumped against the door.

"Asshole! Shillong! Brother, I was bullied! Come out and help me get my revenge!"

A few seconds later.

The door was opened with a squeak.

The Dragonborn, who is only 1.5 meters tall, appeared in front of everyone.

He looked at all the people present, and said with a bit of surprise: "Why were you bullied by so many people? Did you insult their God or something? Did you get caught peeking at the female baths?"

"Who would peek at human women taking baths? You asshole, I was beaten by them!" Arman said loudly.

"Beaten? What are you talking about? I cannot see any injuries on you?" Shillong said.

"I'm telling you! Today I… do you understand now?" Arman described what happened while the veins of his forehead were swollen in anger.

Arman didn’t have to lie.

So, what he said is basically the objective truth of what happened.

After listening to it, Shillong understood it all.

As far as the cause is concerned, Arman is not in the wrong. The fault is Tom’s, but Arman shouldn't project his arrogance and look down on human legends.

After all, human legends are very rare. Every legend has a large number of "fans". These fans yearn for and admire their idols. Naturally, ordinary people are not allowed to insult them, and Arman has no experience with humans in society. He doesn’t know what to do or say accordingly, he is spontaneously naive.

Overall, it’s hard to decide who is truly right and who is wrong, but Shillong is certainly going to help Arman. After all, he’s his brother!

Arman didn't really hurt anyone. If Shillong doesn’t help, it won’t make sense.

"Let’s go straight in, do you want to resolve this?" Shillong glanced at William, who walked in.

William was not polite, as he walked in directly.

To be honest, finding out that an elf and a Dragonborn are brothers, surprised him.

There is only one possibility for this result. The mother of both is an elf and the father is a dragon!

And this dragon should be a black dragon!

This is very interesting!

William and the more knowledgeable people present have already brainstormed a lot about the birth of these two guys!

An evil black dragon raped an elf during estrus, thus giving birth to these two guys!

They omitted all the possibilities for the mother being the black dragon and the father being the elf.

Because the bloodline of a true dragon is extremely powerful. If the mother is a true dragon, then regardless of who the parent is, dragon descendants will be born.

Only when the mother is of other races, can non-dragon descendants be born.

This is mainly because, at the birth of a life, the maternal gene received far exceeds that of the father who only provides a spit of liquid!

These two guys are pitiful.

William followed behind Shillong, and he couldn't bear to say: "Forget the duel! Let's just pretend nothing happened today!"

"How can that be!" Arman jumped first!

"You bastards, you wanted me to quit the school as soon as you bullied me! It’s too late to back off now! I want my brother to teach you a lesson!"

After Arman said these words, the students behind William were immediately upset!

They all said, "You elf! You really do not know your place! Do you think your brother can really defeat William, one of the strongest students in our program, who has legendary qualifications? I think you're not that aware of yourself, are you?"

"Whether you can win or not, you'll only know once you fight, won’t you?" Arman glanced at his opponent disdainfully.

"Humph! You haven't even heard of the legendary William well enough, you two bumpkins!" The other party gasped.

"Well! Since you insist on continuing! Come on!" William nodded and said, preventing the two from continuing to argue.

Shillong heard the words, glanced at the onlookers behind him, and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"Huh? How are we supposed to know who you, Dragonborn, are? Aren’t you only a temporary student?" Some students mocked.

"No one knows who I am?" Shillong asked again and stared at the temporary students.

"As official trainees of [General Sword], how could we possibly know you, a temporary student? Maybe you have some reputation among temporary students! But a temporary remains temporary! Please don't compare yourself with official trainees!"

"Okay! I see!" Shillong replied, and then continued to walk in.

He just saw a temporary student among them whom he met yesterday. The student was between the crowd and still said nothing.

This cadet was mingling in the crowd, not saying a word, and was vaguely hostile to the formal cadets around him, not fitting in with them.

Shillong thought that after yesterday’s events, he should be quite famous. Not to mention that formal students knew him, but the temporary students who met must have remembered him as well, right?

But when the temporary student’s incident happened just now, Shillong knew the answer. This guy did know him, but he wouldn't tell these arrogant official students how strong Shillong is!

He obviously wanted to see the other party making a fool of themselves!

Both sides came to the field spontaneously. William's left hand was behind his back, and his right hand held a one-handed sword. He pointed it straight at Shillong and said: "Come on! I'll let you have three moves!"

"............"

Shillong frowned.

This kid is playing hard to get!

‘Grrr! I hate people who show off in front of me! Since my birth, Only I have the right to do that!’

Does he think he is the protagonist in a novel story?

"Are you... underestimating me?" Shillong asked.

"No, I am telling you the truth! After the three free moves I gave you, I will win. Otherwise, I am afraid that as soon as I make a move, the duel will be over! That's not good! It's not fair to you!" William looked indifferently as if he was a fortune teller...

Although he seemed to want to give way to his opponent, his arrogance was unbearable.

Chapter 637: The Assistance of the Five Empires (Part 1)

3/6 chapter, enjoy.

----------------------

　　The death of his brother is undoubtedly related to the Heisenberg empire. His brother was already an early stage universe master at that time, the only being that has the ability to casually kill him, without giving him the chance to struggle or even send back a message, is the old man from the Heisenberg empire.

　　This hatred is deeper than the sea. After all, if Hong Batian grows up, it’s very likely that he would become the number one powerhouse across the entire cultivation universe.

　　The Hongshan Empire finally had the opportunity to break the stalemate and surpass the others, but their dream was ruthlessly crushed by that old man. It’s obvious how deep Hong Wu’s hatred is.

　　"Hong Wu."

　　Murong Xi said, "You haven't forgotten this for so many years."

　　"How can I forget?!"

　　Hong Wu glanced at him and sneered,

　　"Old Murong, did you forget your granddaughter?”

　　Murong Xi also fell silent after hearing this. Back then, he also had a stunning genius granddaughter.

　　Although her talent was certainly not as good as that of Hong Batian, she did have the potential to become a universe master, but just as she reached the critical point, the Heisenberg empire’s cultivators came to cause trouble.

　　Their obstruction caused her promotion to end disastrously. In the end, she lost her cultivation base. Unable to stand the terrible blow and the humiliation, she committed suicide.

　　"Alright."

　　Long Lin, the leader of the Gangyi Empire waved his hand and said,

　　"Isn't it because of these tragedies that everyone is working together? Don't say this anymore, let's discuss business first."

　　The other four nodded, even if it was Hong Wu, he didn't say much at this time.

　　"In short, my point of view is that the Heisenberg empire can’t be allowed to destroy the metaverse league."

　　Long Lin, the leader of the Gangyi Empire, looked around, and continued,

　　"The growth speed of this empire is quite fast. Moreover, they have the potential to stand beside us, especially the cosmic serpent behind them."

　　"The strength of that cosmic beast can’t be accurately calculated by us. However, judging from the information we gathered, there’s a high chance that it’s a universe master-level creature."

　　After a moment of silence, Long Lin continued.

　　"We have been silent for too long, we didn’t have the guts to declare war on the old Heisenberg! However!"

　　"Someone finally dares to declare war against the Heisenberg empire! This is unprecedented. This is also an opportunity! We are indebted to this cosmic serpent, so we must at least protect his territory."

　　The other four nodded upon hearing, in fact, all of them have animosity with the Heisenberg empire. However, due to many reasons, they didn’t dare to go to war with this strongest empire.

　　Now that a somewhat powerful being has openly declared its hostility with the Heisenberg empire. Although they don’t dare follow together, they are more than happy to support it from behind.

　　"Well, old Long, I think that we can set up a joint fleet to support the metaverse league."

　　Murong Xi suddenly said.

　　After hearing this sentence, the other four were shocked. Forming a joint fleet to support the metaverse league. Isn’t this the same as declaring war against the Heisenberg empire?

　　"It's not what you think." Murong Xi shook his head and said,

　　"It's not easy for us to openly declare war on the Heisenberg Empire, hence there must be a reason for the creation of a joint fleet. An excuse to be more precise. It doesn’t matter even if the public can see through it, an excuse is a necessity."

　　"Hmm, how about this? We created a joint fleet to hunt star beasts in the star beasts sea."

　　"The star beast sea and the Heisenberg empire aren’t too far apart. As long the Scarlet Fortress is opened up, we can basically march to their imperial capital unimpeded all the way."

　　Long Li, the lord of the Gangyi empire, looked at Murong Xi speechlessly.

　　"Old man Murong, this excuse... is as superficial as it gets."

　　"If things don’t develop as expected, the Heisenberg empire will definitely settle the account with us later."

　　"Yes. In fact, even if we don’t do anything, the Heisenberg empire will still eventually attack us in the future. The only reason why they hadn’t done so for so long is that they are wary of the losses they will incur. These bastards require nothing more than absolute control."

　　“Since we’re going to war no matter what, it doesn’t actually matter whether we do it now or later, and as long as our joint fleet is stationed in the star beast sea, even the Heisenberg empire won’t dare to act rashly.”

　　The other four didn’t immediately agree. They sat in silence, contemplating this proposal. Some of them even scratched their head in annoyance, a scene that would leave many of their subordinates jaw-dropped.

　　After a full hour passed, the other four seemed to have finally made a decision.

　　Long Lin, the lord of the Gangyi Empire, looked gloomy and uncertain, but in the end, he seemed to have made up his mind. After gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice,

　　"Okay, I agree to this plan."

　　After Long Lin agreed, the other three also agreed. Immediately afterward, they sent an order to their subordinates, conjuring a big fleet and heading towards the star beast sea.

　　The star beast sea isn’t a sea in the strict sense. It’s more like a huge desolate space on the edge of the universe, inhabited by countless star beasts, hence its name.

　　At the entrance of the star beast sea, the Heisenberg Empire set up a gate called the Scarlet Fortress, but apart from this giant fortress guarding the largest entrance, there are many small entrances, guarded by a few space cities at most.

　　Heisenberg did this deliberately. The Scarlet Fortress would prevent many particularly powerful star beasts from moving past.

　　However, the weaker star beasts would not be stopped from crossing the smaller entrances and sometimes even the Scarlet Fortress!

　　However, these star beasts will be trapped in an incredibly large area known as the hunting area, which is also a part of the Heisenberg empire. They can roam freely within this area, but they aren’t allowed to go out or go back into the star beast sea.

　　There are two benefits to this, one of which is to allow their internal forces to earn huge commissions by hunting star beasts, and the other is to provide a safe space for talents from all over the empire to experience battle.

　　But now, after the five empires dispatched a powerful combined fleet to the star beast sea, the situation has undergone some change.

　　Needless to say, the combined fleet of the five empires is naturally terrifyingly powerful. The fleet has five peak sages and almost a hundred ordinary sages.

Chapter 95: Begin Small to become Big

Tom doesn’t think there are legends-class beings among Arman’s past generations!

But the existence of bloodline spells is quite enviable because it does provide the possessor with decent combat power!

At least among the students who watched the battle, many showed admiration for the elf, Arman!

"Hahaha!" Arman laughed wildly, and continued to rain blows on Tom, "You never mentioned that the use of bloodline spells is not allowed, how am I exactly cheating?"

After saying this, his mouth was like a machine gun, inhaling and exhaling nonstop.

A pellet of ice blasted at Tom, who was in terrible panic!

In just a few rounds, Tom's right shoulder was hit by an ice ball, covered with a layer of frost!

The situation is getting worse and worse for him!

Tom wanted to change the game, but he could not, now that he is at his full strength!

After being hit by the ice ball, his movements became a lot slower, and after a few more moves, his left leg was hit as well!

His situation has gotten worse!

Arman attacked Tom with fury. After a dozen moves, he finally put his sword on the opponent's neck.

At this time, he was full of pride and said: "Daring to challenge me, it was foolish of me to think big of you!"

"You…”

Tom looked at the villainous look on Arman’s face and felt a tightness of anger in his chest!

"Don't be too arrogant in the future! You wanted me to succumb to you earlier but you can't even use your legs now hahahaha!"

In the end, Arman laughed mockingly.

"Asshole! You relied on your bloodline power to win, how do you call this a victory?" Tom gritted his teeth.

"Humph! All I am hearing is the wailing of a defeated dog!" Arman was unmoved.

"Right here, right now, you have lost in front of all these people! What use do you have for these words?"

"..." Tom turned his head and looked to the side. At this time, there were at least 30 or 50 people gathered here. From Tom's perspective, he felt that these people's eyes were dazzling!

These guys must be laughing at him!

They are laughing at the fact that William's younger brother is weak!

They are laughing at him for being unworthy of being William's younger brother!

At this point, his chest has increasingly tightened.

His head gradually lowered. He knew that, as a loser, no matter how sophisticated he is, he remains a loser.

"What the hell happened here?" A voice suddenly came out.

It sounded very clear in this noisy place.

Arman and Tom could not help turning their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

It was a young man who also was wearing student’s costumes.

This young man is tall, about 1.85 meters, with long blond hair tied in a ponytail, and looks a bit charming.

Looking carefully, there is something similar between his eyebrows and Tom’s.

His chest was upright and he looked like a confident person.

After he appeared, he looked at the two people in the field, then walked towards Tom and observed the other person's expression and said: "I heard that you are duelling an elf? It seems that you have lost. What happened?"

"Big Brother! I'm sorry! I embarrassed you!" Tom lowered his head, looking heartbroken.

"You didn't make me lose face! What you lost is your own!" William said: "Tell me! Why do you want to duel with each other?"

"He... the elf said something that made me uncomfortable! He said that there is nothing great about you having legendary qualifications, and there is nothing great about a legend..."

"Huh?" When William heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Arman who was still smug in surprise.

"Is what my brother said true?" William asked Alman.

"Yeah! What’s so great about being a legend? I feel like you guys have nothing special to brag about." Arman said indifferently.

The conversation between the two was heard by the people at the scene.

Everyone was frowning, including those who gloated at Tom's loss.

A legend is sacred and powerful in the eyes of all students!

Every student will respect the legend from the bottom of their heart.

But now the legend they respect is worthless in the mouth of this elf boy. How dare he?

These guys quickly pointed to Arman.

They looked like a bunch of mad dogs whose food was robbed!

"Does anyone know this elf? He looks young. How dare he speak so arrogantly?"

"A loser temporary trainee! Who knows this kind of guy?"

"Temporary students who despise legends... This is the first time I hear of this kind of thing. This elf is a bit interesting haha."

...

"Honestly! It doesn't matter if you say I'm nothing great, but you can't insult a legend! My strength is not as good as one percent of a true legend. However, what say you, does a duel with me interest you?" William looked serious as he plucked out the ironwood one-handed sword at his waist and pointed the tip straight at Arman.

"Great! The little brother was defeated, and now it is his older brother’s turn! Not bad! I'll just keep on beating you! I'll call your father, too! Then your grandfather! I'll beat all of you, all of you, all by myself!" Arman said.

In his opinion, William is just a student, and the difference between his strength and Tom’s should not be too big. Using the bloodline spell himself can completely defeat any student!

"Very good!" William frowned and said, this elf's mouth is really poisonous!

But he, as one of the exemplary figures of the academy, still pays attention to his image. So, he should take care of this kind of person and drop his arrogance!

He told Tom to go away.

Then walked six meters away from Arman, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a sword towards Arman.

He looked unbelievably charming.

Many of the female onlookers were fascinated by him.

"Come on! Attack! I will let you have three moves!" William looked indifferent.

"..."

"Let me do three moves? You’re quite arrogant, aren’t you?" Arman sneered, without any sense of politeness, rushing to the opponent and raising the greatsword in his hand. It was a straight heavy cut, slashing downwards at William. Nevertheless, Arman broke it down midway! In an instant, it became a left diagonal cut.

The cut was fast and breaking it was faster. Arman wanted this cut to confuse his opponent, but William instantly saw through Alman's thoughts and jumped back gently to avoid the cut.

"The first move!"

Leap!

Arman opened his mouth, and with a flick of his mouth, a series of ice balls sprinkled to the opponent.

William's one-handed sword kept maneuvering and knocked down all the ice balls instantly.

"The second move!"

"This human has got a little bit of strength, heh!" Arman kind of saw through the opponent's strength clearly, knowing that he may not be able to win.

Hence, he instantly changed his strategy, he opened his mouth again, and a white mist swayed straight ahead.

The white mist covered most of the environment. Bearing in mind that they are in a closed space, and the dojo is not particularly large.

William couldn't dodge it at all and was instantly enveloped in white mist. He felt cold in his hands and feet, the cold had numbed them!

Next, Arman rushed into the white mist and threw a slash at him again.

"The third move! It's time for me to fight back!" William's expression was still as cold as before. And the moment Arman slashed at him, he waved his right arm.

Snap!

"Ayo!"

Arman cried out in pain, and couldn't help but loosen his hands. The big sword fell to the ground, and then his neck felt cold.

When he came back to his senses, the opponent's one-handed sword was already on his neck!

"How about this? This is what you look down on, only one percent of the strength of a legendary swordsman." William said.

The surrounding students gave William's victory applause that Arman hadn’t had when he won.

Some students still cherished: "He is indeed one of the strongest geniuses with legendary qualifications among the students! You won beautifully!"

"Have you seen it! Elf! This is the gap between you and the genius! He can beat you with one move! Do you still dare to underestimate the legend?"

"As expected from my big brother, a flawless win!!" Tom clenched his fists as he watched from afar.

This was the big brother he had longed for! Perfect! Powerful! Beautiful! Elegant!

Chapter 636: The plan of the Five Empires (Part 2)

2/6 chapter, enjoy.

----------------------

　　All kinds of news about the fleet swept the cosmic network. The horrifying headlines attracted the attention of countless people.

　　Unquestionably, countless people were shocked by the news.

　　"Is the news true or not? If it’s true, then what’s the level of that cosmic serpent, universe master? It got to be! Chang Zhang was a half-step universe master after all!."

　　"This is too scary, this cosmic serpent is truly intending to overthrow the Heisenberg empire!"

　　"This cosmic serpent is just a weak universe master at most, how can it have the guts to attack the Heisenberg empire?"

　　"Hehe, the Heisenberg empire is invincible. The countdown to the death of that serpent has just begun."

　　“Ha ha ha, finally! A gusty being appeared! The Heisenberg empire had been arrogant for far too long, someone should have taken action a long time ago! By the way, why hadn’t the five empires taken action?"

　　“No action? haha, if the five empires hadn’t acted, could you have seen this news?"

　　"Yes, the five empires might not dare to act aggressively on the surface, but their hidden actions are endless. They released countless pieces of news to the public!"

　　As countless beings from all over the universe talked about this matter, many people from the Metaverse league had also seen the news.

　　Without exception, all that have seen the news were relieved.

　　Fang Yun's toughness and ruthlessness gave them a sense of security. As long as Fang Yun didn't have any problems, the Heisenberg wouldn’t be able to send a massive army to deal with them.

　　Of course, the Heisenberg empire had directly manipulated the nearby countries to start attacking them, but the Metaverse is still able to deal with these attacks for now.

　　At the same time, the Metaverse league hired a group of extremely powerful mercenaries, but unexpectedly, the mercenaries' commissions were not very high.

　　The current focus of the entire universe is on Fang Yun, not on the Metaverse, so the odd mercenaries didn’t create any disturbance.

　　Moreover, the metaverse league cleverly hid these mercenaries in their fleet, so even their opponents didn’t notice anything strange for the moment.

　　It might be surprising that the Metaverse league can block the combined attack of several empires, but it’s due to its deep background and reserves.

　　………...

　　"News about the great serpent hadn’t appeared in three days, what’s going on? What about the internal spies of the five empires?"

　　"Hahaha, the internal spies of the five empires have likely been executed. I live in the imperial capital, and from what I’ve seen, countless people have been executed in the past few days."

　　"Damn, so cruel? Is there no response from the five empires?"

　　"Hmph, do the five empires dare respond? Although the Heisenberg empire seemed to suffer against the cosmic serpent, it’s just because they hadn’t taken it seriously. Once the Heisenberg empire takes it seriously, even the five empires have to bend their knees."

　　"Not necessarily, once the five empires unite, they will become a very powerful superpower."

　　"Hahaha, they must unite first!"

　　In the past three days, discussions about Fang Yun on the cosmic network hadn’t stopped. However, after seeing no further news for a long time, the topic of discussion slowly shifted to the Heisenberg empire and the five peak empires.

　　"Long Lin, thirteen of your spies have been killed this time."

　　In a secret location, a conference table quietly hovered in the dark space, and around this conference table, there were five figures.

　　Suddenly, the bearded giant sitting on the forest seat said with a grin on his face to the long-haired man sitting on the other end.

　　The long-haired man’s eyes were closed as he leaned on his hand. After hearing the bearded giant’s words, he faintly opened his eyes and lazily said.

　　"Hongwu, didn’t 9 of your spies get beheaded too?"

　　The bearded giant named Hongwu sneered in response.

　　“At least, it’s less than you!”

　　“Hongwu, Long Lin, this is not the time for you to quarrel!"

　　Just as there was a trend for the two to conflict, the old man on the side suddenly said with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

　　"We need to unite now! If we conflict with each other at such a critical juncture, then we are done for!"

　　“So, this time I called everyone here to discuss the latest events, and decide our next course of action."

　　The old man said with a serious expression. He is the lord of the Changzhi empire, Murong Xi.

　　"Old man Murong, what do you think of the latest events?"

　　Long Lin, the lord of the Gangyi Empire, didn’t bother with the lord of the Hongshan Empire, Hong Wu, anymore, but turned his head and asked Murong Xi.

　　Hearing this, Murong Xi remained silent for a while before opening his mouth.

　　"In my opinion, this should be an opportunity for our five empires. We have been suppressed by the Heisenberg Empire for too long. This time, an opportunity finally appeared. I think that it’s time..."

　　Although he didn’t finish his sentence, his meaning was self-evident.

　　"Hey, old man Murong, I didn’t expect that you, who have always been prudent, would be so aggressive this time. The little mercenaries in the Metaverse league are members of the Shadow Dragon Corps of the Changzhi Empire, right? You have always supported them secretly."

　　“Hongwu, your Red Warrior’s have also mingled with them secretly, so don’t play dumb in front of me."

　　Although there are clearly grudges between the five of them, they are in the same boat at this moment. If any one of them sinks, the others will soon follow after. That’s why they were able to casually sit together at the same table and talk relaxedly.

　　"Haha!"

　　Hong Wu sneered,

　　"The old guy from the Heisenberg empire had decapitated my brother thousands of years ago. I will never forget such a grudge, and I will definitely settle this account with that bastard! No matter how long it takes!"

　　Hearing that, the other four were silent.

　　The brother in Hong Wu's mouth was his younger brother, Hong Batian. He had an extremely high cultivation potential, the best in the universe. Far beyond them and even that old guy.

　　Unfortunately, he never returned after going out once.

　　After madly searching for him across the entire universe, Hong Wu finally found his remains in a desolate wilderness. He also found some weak spiritual remains nearby, hiding his last message, and that message was…

　　Heisenberg.

Chapter 110: Vanko Wants to Cause Trouble

"You asked me where Tony is?"

Hearing this, Hammer wrinkled his brows together, somewhat unable to keep up with Ivan's brain circuits.

He was talking about how Phantom Kid and Batman’s appearance had messed up the fair. And although Tony was the main initiator, he has not yet appeared on the stage, so, how on earth does Ivan expect Hammer to know where he is?!

"How would I know where Tony is?"

When Tony went to the roof of the center pavilion, no outsiders were present there, plus, he did not speak out loud yet. This is why Hammer, who was still in the pavilion, had no idea where Tony was.

And despite the fact that all the above can be deduced by only using two brain cells, Hammer didn't give it any thought.

"Forget it, I think I know where he is, but it doesn't matter anymore."

Ivan chuckled, then changed the conversation.

"You just said that you want to cancel the display of the mechanical legion?"

"I don't think this is a good choice."

Hammer smiled angrily.

"What do you think my purpose was to show the mechanical army? It is to let everyone present see that these drones you built can become a new army and get orders from the military!"

"But no one is going to take a look at the stage now. You told me not to cancel the show. What should I do?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to be qualified for a show in the Stark Expo Center Pavilion? I don't want to waste such an opportunity!"

"Take it easy, man."

Ivan calmed down Hammer's rage.

"Didn't you say that Phantom Kid and that… Batman appeared at the fair?"

"As far as I know, there should be a lot of generals in the Expo Center Pavilion, right? Imagine if you let them see how your mechanical legion can catch that thief..."

At Ivan’s word, Hammer's eyes moved slightly. What Ivan said was very reasonable!

"Isn't it better to let people see the capability of the mechanical soldiers directly rather than showcasing them idle on the stage?"

Although he couldn't see Hammer's expression, Ivan had already guessed Hammer's excitement.

"Even if you say that, you have never agreed to demonstrate those drones in advance, so I don't know anything about the so-called mechanical army you made. Can they really be as practical as you said?"

"Sorry, Ivan, I don't doubt your talents, but… I know too little about the performance, firepower, and combat effectiveness of those mechanical soldiers."

Although Hammer was very excited about Ivan's proposal, he also had his own considerations.

Even though Ivan Vanko works in Hammer Industries, he is definitely not one of Hammer’s employees.

The two decided to team up for two reasons; one, is because they have a common enemy, Tony Stark; and the other is because Ivan has the technological knowledge to build the Arc reactor, even though Ivan's technology is much more inferior than Stark's.

However, there is currently no other person but Ivan, in the whole world, who can build the same reactor.

Because this kind of technology cannot be completed by one or two people in one year or two, Stark Industries already had the prototype of the technical principles of the Arc Reactor as early as when Howard was alive.

At that time, limited by that era’s technology and other various factors, Howard failed to complete his idea in his entire life.

It was not until decades later that Tony really made this invention.

Nonetheless, Ivan Vanko was able to build the reactor because his father Anton Vanko was Howard’s partner in the past, and both participated in the initial research of the Arc Reactor.

Compared to Tony, Ivan's resource conditions were much worse.

But from another perspective, he was able to build an arc reactor out of a pile of broken scrap metal. His conditions were the same as Tony's when he built Mark I back in Afghanistan. One could deduce that Ivan's scientific talent is actually almost the same as Tony’s.

All in all, Hammer needs Ivan's technology, and Ivan needs Hammer's resources.

"Are you suspecting that my mechanical army can't even deal with a thief? I equipped them with the best weapon system. There is no enemy in the world that they can't defeat."

Ivan pretended to be dissatisfied,

"No need to think much, Hammer. Just release the mechanical legion, and leave the rest to them."

"Okay, okay, then I will release all these drones. If their performance is not approved by me, you know how you will end up."

Hammer thought for a while, but after all, he could not refuse the temptation. He agreed with Ivan's suggestion, and finally, he threatened.

Inside Hammer Industries, Ivan ended the call with a glimmer of coldness in his eyes.

He walked into a secret room, took out a long and thick safe, and opened it.

A pair of thick whip-like weapons laid in it...

Stark Expo, over the central pavilion.

Helicopters of the New York Police Department have surrounded Unit No. 7 and No. 12.

At this time, Kid's phantom had disappeared, leaving only two steel wires hanging below the helicopter.

At this scene, the air walk Kid performed was debunked.

"So it turns out that it was Kid's accomplice who was piloting Unit No. 7… Unit No. 12 should belong to Batman's accomplice then, right."

George later realized that his men had been swapped.

Batman flew Unit No. 7 directly to the top of a building on the left.

Neither Phantom Kid nor his accomplice have been found, and only Batman knows this.

"Quickly, keep up with Unit No. 7 and 12! Be it Batman or Phantom Kid, get them arrested!"

George immediately ordered all the helicopters.

More than a dozen helicopters landed in the direction of the building with Unit No. 7, and the rest followed the No. 12.

"Master Wayne, we are surrounded, what should we do now?"

Alfred said as he was wiping sweat from his forehead.

This was the second time he discovered that Bruce had miscalculated the situation.

"Alfred, listen to my instructions carefully."

Batman’s calm voice emerged from the communicator, and that relieved Alfred a lot.

"Put on the mask now, you must not let them see your face, and then park the helicopter on top of the building on the right. Make sure that the helicopter is parked on the edge of the roof."

"When I tell you to jump, don't hesitate, just jump down!"

"Okay, Master Wayne."

Alfred trusted Batman unconditionally and immediately let the helicopter land down.

On the other side, Unit No. 7 had also landed on the edge of the building on the left. A dozen police helicopters followed closely, followed by dozens of police officers rushing down from the helicopter.

They slowly walked towards Unit No. 7 and formed a semi-circle.

Hearing only a bang, Batman crashed through the cockpit door and swooped downstairs.

His black bat wings opened instantly and flew towards the building where Alfred had landed.

Chapter 636: The plan of the Five Empires (Part 1)

1/6 chapter, enjoy.

---------------------

　　In the beginning, everyone saw their leader Chang Zhang and the cosmic serpent fighting together. Their battle was beyond mortal imagination. Space collapsing, stars breaking, etc...

　　However, as the battle progressed, they noticed something wrong. Far from their expectations, their leader, Chang Zhang, couldn’t take down the great serpent. On the contrary, he was getting overwhelmed.

　　In fact, from the very beginning, Chang Zhang was at a disadvantage, but at the time, everyone thought that it was the strategy of their leader. Maybe, he was stalling for time and wearing down the great serpent, or maybe he was looking for an opportunity to launch a devastating strike.

　　But neither Chang Zhang nor the others realized that the cosmic serpent’s energy reserves were as abundant as ever. It was as if his energy was infinite.

　　Finally, at a certain point in the battle, the light around the great serpent completely disappeared, leaving a circular dark hole. Their leader, Chang Zhang, suddenly showed a look of horror on his face. They watched as he struggled to flee outward, but his body was constantly sucked back.

　　"A black hole."

　　In that fleet, someone suddenly uttered, causing the entire fleet to fall into silence. They didn’t expect that this cosmic serpent could imitate the most dangerous object in the universe.

　　"We must quickly get out of here."

　　The deputy commander of the fleet immediately issued such an order, and under his supervision, the fleet began to regress wildly, as if there was a disaster behind them.

　　Unfortunately, they were too close. The gravity exuded by Fang Yun in his black hole form quickly affected them, making it extremely hard to move forward. In fact, many ships started to slowly fly back, gradually separating from the fleet.

　　At this time, the pilots ramped up the energy power to the absolute maximum, but even so, their ships were gradually sucked back.

　　The ships that were closer to Fang Yun headed towards him at an incredible speed, getting faster as they got closer to him, gradually disintegrating in the process. The same went for the cultivators in space. They screamed in terror as their body started stretching out like noodles, breaking apart down to the atomic scale.

　　Eventually, both the warriors and the starships turned into light rays as they were sucked into the black hole, completely disappearing from this world.

　　"Quick, hurry up or we will be sucked away!"

　　The surviving starships were filled were terror. This turn of events is completely different from their imagination. They thought that their leader would valiantly defeat this monster at first, but he was consumed in just a few minutes.

　　Moreover, they are already so far away, but they are still being affected. This degree of attraction power is frightening.

　　On Fang Yun’s side, Chang Zhang was still alive. He stood on the edge of the black hole, resisting the terrifying gravity with the power of the rules.

　　He is indeed a peak sage level powerhouse. Unlike those weak cultivators and those starships that were broken down to atoms despite being so far away, he was still able to resist the pull of the black hole despite being on the edge of it.

　　"Damn it, damn it!!"

　　Chang Zhang roared internally. His heart was filled with fear. He had never been so close to the edge of death in his life, but this allowed him to push himself even further, exerting his powers to a level he never thought possible.

　　"Damn monster! After leaving, I will make you suffer the next time we meet!!"

　　The blood in Chang Zhang was boiled. He burned his potential and even life energy just so that he can have the power to resist the terrifying pull.

　　"Hmph!"

　　Seemingly feeling Chang Zhang’s thoughts, Fang Yun who had transformed into a black hole, sneered. He suddenly moved forward, completely engulfing Chang Zhang as he roared in despair.

　　"Ahhhhh!!!"

　　Chang Zhang’s tragic screams were certainly unable to get out of the black hole, but some fragmented electromagnetic waves were able to, flying to the distance and passing through the fleet.

　　The fleet in the distance automatically intercepted the electromagnetic waves. Although they had no way to completely restore Chang Zhang’s last words, they were able to restore some fragments of his screams.

​​　　The crew in the fleet had terrified expressions on their faces as they listened to those desperate screams.

　　"It's horrible!"

　　In the fleet, someone said with a frightened expression. Basically, all the people were frightened. By this time, the ships at the head of the fleet were able to move forward, they were the only survivors.

　　The person commanding the remaining fleet ordered them to continue moving forward at maximum speed. Soon after, they completely left this area.

　　On the other side, Chang Zhilang's body disintegrated little by little, turning into the purest form of energy, then getting sucked into Fang Yun’s body.

　　Fang Yun’s true body, the supremely giant serpent, suddenly expanded further. His internal energy tumbled as his presence shook the fabrics of space. He finally reached the peak of the sage level.

　　By now, he can completely contend with the average universe master. This level is no longer taboo to him.

　　Looking at the direction in which the fleet fled, Fang Yun snorted coldly, then quickly chased behind.

　　In just a few moments, his body phased through space, crossing many light-years, and catching up with the fleet. This process didn’t even take ten seconds.

　　"This... so fast?"

　　The crew of the fleet was immediately frightened by Fang Yun's terrifying speed. Before they had time to scream, they were swallowed by him.

　　Fang Yun accurately locked each ship, and none of them escaped from him.

　　After devouring the fleet, he continued heading towards the Heisenberg empire.

　　However, the results of the battle quickly spread on the network. After all, the movements of the fleet were closely followed by many people in the Imperial capital.

　　After this fleet was devoured by Fang Yun, the news quickly spread to the Heisenberg empire. The five empires have some spies in the Heisenberg empire, so they also quickly learned about this matter.

　　After they got the news, they quickly spread it on the internet to damage the reputation of their enemy.

　　"Breaking! General Chang Zhang was devoured by the cosmic serpent!"

　　"Hey, a half-step universe master can be easily killed, how powerful is that cosmic serpent?"

Chapter 109: Where is Kid?

Receiving Bruce's order, Alfred immediately accelerated, and Batman quickly got close to Phantom Kid.

Alfred kept Unit No. 12 he was piloting parallel to Unit No. 7, then turned around and flew synchronously with it.

Phantom Kid still walked unhurriedly, even his facial expression did not change in the slightest.

Suddenly a bad feeling arose in Batman's heart. He untied the wire that was hanging himself with and lunged towards Phantom Kid’s position.

"What!"

A shocking scene occurred! When Batman reached Phantom Kid’s body, he could not make contact with it as an entity, but passed through it!

Batman grabbed the wire hoisted from Unit No. 7 and found that the wire did not hang on the shoulders of "Phantom Kid".

Instead, it was separated by a few centimeters.

This also led to Batman's body and "Phantom Kid’s" to overlap at that moment.

"Could it be a hologram? No, there is no relevant equipment detected here."

It doesn’t matter what method Phantom Kid used to create such a realistic phantom.

The important thing now is where did the real Phantom Kid go?

Also, who is the helicopter pilot that assists Phantom Kid? Is the person piloting the helicopter now an accomplice of Phantom Kid?

Batman got hold of the wire and kept climbing it.

However, when he climbed up into the Unit No. 7’s interior, there was actually no one on it!

Not even a dog!

The pilot seat was empty!

How did Unit No. 7 fly?

Batman quickly looked at the pilot seat, only to see the helicopter's lever tightly tied by a thin wire at one end, and the other end was fixed to the helicopter door.

The lever was bolted to a small extent, so it can maintain the helicopter at a low-speed flight without any crash.

There was no need for any other mechanism to be installed since Mathison didn't need the helicopter to take any turn.

As soon as Batman glanced in the cabin, the fuselage of Unit No. 7 suddenly shook, as if it might crash at any time.

Because of Batman's intrusion, the helicopter's hatch was opened, causing the wire holding the lever to loosen instantaneously, and the overall balance instantly broke.

In desperation, Batman could only jump into the pilot's seat to control the helicopter, which allowed the helicopter to remain stable again.

All Batman’s plans to bring Phantom Kid to desperation have turned against him...

At the same time, the crowd watching Phantom Kid below were also shocked by the scene in front of them.

"Oh! God! What just happened?"

"I saw Batman pass through the body of Phantom Kid, who can tell me what is going on?"

"Could it be that Kid is not a human being, he is a ghost?"

"This is crazy!"

"Hey, I don’t believe that there are ghosts in this world! This must be one of Kid's magic tricks again, maybe he just used some high-tech imaging technology to create a projection."

A Stark Expo of the University of Nova Scotia was originally built to stimulate scientific and technological exchanges around the world, but at this time it was overshadowed by the noise and screams of countless people.

No one cares what technology is displayed on the stage.

In the VIP table, a dozen army generals sat inside, with a displeased expression on their faces.

They really came here for some high-tech weapons that might be available. They didn't care about Phantom Kid or Batman.

Originally, most of the military's weapons orders were from Stark Industries. For decades, the U.S. military used Stark's sophisticated weapons on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, Tony suddenly announced that he would withdraw from the arms business. Over the past few years, the update frequency of the US military's cutting-edge weapons has decreased a lot, although Hammer Industries has filled this vacancy in time.

However, the failure rate of the weapons produced by Hammer... is simply indescribable.

Therefore, these military leaders can only pin their hopes on the Stark Expo, hoping to discover some potential weapons providers.

But now that the technology exhibition seems to have been disturbed, how can they look for new weapons?

Those who want to buy weapons are worried, and those who want to sell weapons feel uncomfortable and even more annoyed.

Because in the arms sales’ domain, the military's orders are the largest among any other ones.

The income of smuggling arms is actually not as high as imagined.

In fact, most of the time, only after the military purchases the large number of weapons they want, the remaining scraps enter the smuggling market.

Take Ulysses Klaue, the largest arms smuggler in the Pacific Ocean for example. His annual profit is about a billion dollars, but most of it comes from smuggling vibranium.

Additionally, the gains from munitions account for only a small part.

This is the case for smugglers, there is no need to talk about the formal arms companies. Smuggling arms is a felony no matter which country it is in. Once detected, it is a dead end.

So there is only one way for them to survive, and that is to compete for a share of the military orders.

The annual military budget is limited, and whoever can get the most orders is the king of arms this year.

If they can't get the military orders, they will have to wait until next year to start again, and they will have to endure a year of losses.

Therefore, Justin Hammer, who is actively preparing to replace Tony Stark, is obviously the last person who wants to see the fair being disturbed.

"Fuck! This damned Phantom Kid...!"

Hearing the screams around, Hammer gritted his teeth and shouted.

"I perfectly planned to show my mechanical army today, but it seems now that I have no other option but to postpone it..."

Hammer thought reluctantly. In the previous opening ceremony, when Phantom Kid had issued a teaser letter first, Hammer Took the initiative to leave a buffer time of one week.

Thinking about it, he speculated that the mess Phantom Kid created will be over in a week, but the idiot Tony actually jumped out to challenge Kid.

Is his brain flooded with stupidity?

Kid stole the Arc Reactor from him, and now he is offering him the Mountain of Light?

Hammer was upset, hereby, he dialed someone's phone.

"Ivan, I decided to cancel today's show."

On the other side of the phone, Ivan Vanko, who was fiddling with precision tools at Hammer Industries, stopped his work.

"Why?"

"Hah, why? Very good question! If you had taken the trouble to watch the news or inquire about what's going on in the outside world instead of teasing that bird of yours all day, you would have known..."

"That damn Tony Stark you hate is going to challenge Phantom Kid tonight, and when Kid shows up, it's Batman who is going to deal with him."

Hammer was not in a good mood.

"Where is Tony?"

Hearing this, Ivan grinned and said to himself, «Cancel the show? No, no, now is the best time to put up the show.»

Chapter 635: Chang Zhang (Part 2)

6/6 chapter, enjoy.

-----------------------

　　Long Wu and Lin Tian approached Fang Yun with extreme nervousness. They were equipped with treasures to guard against mental attacks, that’s why they dared to step forward and test Fang Yun’s abilities, otherwise, they wouldn’t even dare to approach him.

　　This monster devoured a powerful sage with just one bite after all. The impact of that scene was too great.

　　“Boom! Boom!!”

　　Suddenly, the two of them released their aura, shaking the surrounding space. Their faces became fierce, immediately launching an attack on Fang Yun. Their attacks swept everything in their way as they flew towards the giant cosmic monster.

　　“Roar!!”

　　Fang Yun heaved an earth-shattering roar upon seeing their attacks. In response, he flicked his tail.

　　“Boom! Boom!”

　　His tail and the two collided together, creating a terrifying explosion. Fang Yun's tail carried an unparalleled powerful force, tanking the two sages' all-out attack, then immediately sending them flying away in the next second.

　　“Ahhh!!!”

　　The two of them spat a mouthful of blood as many small cracks appeared on their body.

　　Their hearts were filled with shock. This monster resisted their all-out attack and even sent them flying using just its body. It didn’t even use a trace of energy.

　　This caused them to overrule their previous guess. This monster is not a mere high-class sage or even a peak one.

　　The power that this cosmic serpent just showed is already on the edge of a universe master.

　　"Damn, this monster’s strength is greater than we thought." As the two of them stabilized their bodies and started recovering from their injuries, this sentence flashed across their mind.

　　"Not good!"

　　The two of them suddenly shouted with horrified expressions. The monster suddenly appeared in front of them and pounced. Its scarlet mouth gradually zoomed in their vision.

　　"Damn it!"

　　In the command ship, Chang Zhang immediately roared. With a flash, he appeared outside the command ship. His aura surged as he flew towards the serpent at a terrifying speed.

　　He was horrified because, from his perspective, his two men were about to be devoured by the monster.

　　“Boom!!!”

　　Chang Zhang’s peak sage aura burst out. He opened his mouth and loudly shouted.

　　"Foul creature, stop!!"

　　On the other side, Fang Yun’s giant mouth constantly got closer to Lin Tian and Long Wu. His eyes drifted to Chang Zhang, followed by a sneer.

　　Immediately afterward, he devoured the two of them with one bite.

　　"Damn you!"

　　Seeing this scene, Chang Zhang was furious. He completely released his aura, shaking the surrounding space. His power is infinitely close to the universe master level.

　　“Roar!”

　　After devouring the two, Fang Yun suddenly roared, and a majestic aura exploded from his body, unexpectedly not under Chang Zhang.

　　"Sure enough, this monster is a peak sage."

　　After seeing this scene, Chang Zhang’s expression became serious. Although he was furious, his heart was quite calm. He decided to go all out from the beginning, while also guarding against any counterattacks from this monster. This shows that he took the cosmic serpent with the highest seriousness.

　　“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

　　One person and one behemoth fought in the void, causing space itself to collapse, and stars many light years away to explode. The two were evenly matched, showing extreme destructive power. Chang Zhang was completely different from the previous two who were unable to display their true strength before getting wiped out.

　　Chang Zhang’s fleet was running away at maximum speed. Especially the planet and star-class cultivators. They were using every ounce of their strength to escape, for fear of being annihilated by random aftermath.

　　“Boom! Boom!”

　　Fang Yun constantly released energy beams from his mouth, bombarding Chang Zhang on the opposite side. This is indeed an opponent of the same level. He is one of the few cultivators under the Universe Master level that can fight with him, a genius that can fight across ranks. However, this is still not enough.

　　Fang Yun didn’t care much about Chang Zhang’s attacks. His defense has reached an unprecedented level. In terms of pure material defense, his scales have surpassed neutron stars in terms of toughness and durability, let alone his energy and space defense.

　　Finally, even if Chang Zhang managed to break through his defense and injure him, his regenerative ability was more than enough to instantly restore him to peak status.

　　Chang Zhang was completely shocked upon discovering this. The cosmic serpent’s durability and regenerative ability have completely surpassed the sage level.

　　"This monster’s strength and maybe even cultivation level are higher than mine."

　　After a certain point in the battle, Chang Zhang came to this conclusion. He was astonished. This monster’s strength is far beyond his expectations.

　　“Roar!”

　　Fang Yun quickly noticed the slight turbulence in Chang Zhang’s mind. He suddenly roared, then intensified his attacks, almost completely giving up on defense. This mad attack caused Chang Zhang to feel even more strenuous. He could only defend, rarely having the chance to counterattack.

　　"What to do? What should I do?"

　　Chang Zhang kept asking this question. He continuously looked for openings, but this monster seemed to have endless stamina. After some time, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

　　“Things can’t go this way, I’m not the opponent of this monster, I need to retreat, but there is still my fleet nearby..."

　　Fang Yun's ability to reflect and deflect attacks caused him to be very annoyed. It was precisely because of that ability that his fleet became useless.

　　"Retreat! Retreat for now!"

　　Upon realizing this, Chang Zhang took a deep breath and shouted. They can only retreat, for now, then look for other opportunities to deal with this serpent later on.

　　Just as Chang Zhang made this decision, he suddenly noticed a sly grin flashing in the cosmic serpent’s eyes.

　　"What is it planning? Does it have some kind of trump card?" 

　　This question suddenly appeared in his mind. In his opinion, the reason why the cosmic serpent had such a playful expression is due to its confidence to bring them all down.

　　Upon thinking of this, he involuntarily panicked,

　　"No, I have to leave this place as soon as possible."

　　He immediately flew away after making this decision. He didn’t even care about the fleet anymore, but suddenly, he found that flying away became extremely hard. It was like being bound by chains, dragged back by an insurmountable force.

　　To his horror, he discovered that the already titanic serpent has grown even beyond. Its mass had surpassed most objects in the universe. At the same, a terrifying suction had erupted from its body.

　　The surrounding space turned into a black hole at this moment.

　　With Fang Yun’s supermassive body size, once he uses his black hole ability, his attraction force and the gravity he exuded is unimaginable. Everything nearby was immediately devoured, including Chang Zhang.

　　The fleet in the distance saw an unforgettable sight.

Chapter 108: Magic is Nothing but a Hoax

"You seem to have forgotten one thing, Chief George."

Tony replied defiantly, as he opened the helmet of his suit so that the other party could see the expression on his face. Although Tony tried to speak in a polite tone, his face was full of disgust and arrogance.

"This is my place, the decision I am to make is none of your business."

Tony boastfully followed.

"On the contrary, you should do exactly as I say."

"I hope you know what you are talking about."

George grunted coldly.

No matter how angry he is, against a super-capitalist like Tony, the police really don’t have much power to oppose him.

If Tony is upset, a big share of "tax money" will be deducted.

"There is no need for me to come and deal with Phantom Kid, someone will deal with him."

Tony looked at Phantom Kid in the distance, deeply gazing upon him. He had no idea what he was thinking.

"Boom… boom… boom"

Suddenly, there was a new sound of footsteps in the sky.

The people who heard the footsteps were instantly astonished because those were completely different from the ones Phantom Kid is making!

The footsteps of Phantom Kid are crisp, pleasant, steady, and light. The new footsteps sound heavy.

"Why am I hearing other footsteps? Are these really from the sky?"

Someone in the audience asked hurriedly.

"It should be, I heard it clearly."

"That mean that there is another person walking in the sky besides Phantom Kid?"

"Has anyone cracked Kid's tricks?"

"How can this be!"

"Where is that person?"

Countless spectators began to look around, hoping to find the second person who was walking in the air.

However, they saw nothing but darkness in the sky.

At this moment, a helicopter corresponding to Unit No. 7 suddenly turned on its searchlight. In an instant, the dazzling light illuminated a black figure below.

Batman!

The light absorption efficiency of the bat suit is very good, and it can be almost invisible in the dark, no wonder no one has spotted him.

Like everyone suspected, Batman did indeed levitate in the sky, walking forward, step by step.

Until he was completely facing Phantom Kid.

"This is Unit No. 12, a suspicious target was located... confirmed to be Batman. We are following him up. Over."

Aboard Unit No. 12, Alfred reported to George solemnly.

"Batman again! Why did he come to New York? Could it be that he is spending a holiday with Phantom Kid?"

Hearing this, George frowned and was suddenly dissatisfied.

"Regardless of the unknown past between them, Batman and Phantom Kid are currently among the most wanted criminals, and I must not let them flee today!"

George ordered viciously.

"All helicopters, bring me closer to Phantom Kid and Batman."

"The rest, immediately clear the street in front of the center exhibition hall and evacuate the crowd."

"Since there is an order of ceasing fire, we can only surround them in a group, leaving not a single gap or allowing them to fall to the ground!"

"I don't believe that Phantom Kid can still blend into the crowd by disguise in the sky!"

After George's order was issued, his men responded in unison.

"Yes, sir!"

More and more helicopters were approaching their location. There were already quite a few helicopters circling around Phantom Kid, blocking almost every path of his potential retreat.

But the strange thing is that no matter how many helicopters gathered, and how much wind they were blowing at such high speed, Phantom Kid didn't seem to be affected at all.

The most amazing thing is that his cloak had still retained its original shape and was not blown by the wind!

In contrast to Batman, his black cloak had already been blown.

"Mathison, what are you going to do now?"

Facing this situation, Charlie asked Mathison, via a specially-made badge.

"Don't worry, they can't catch us."

Mathison showed a smirk. Obviously, he always has a solid plan.

"Batman, I did think that you might crack my air walking technique, but what I didn't expect even more is that you would perform exactly the same trick in front of me."

As Phantom Kid and Batman gradually approached each other, and when they were only a few tens of meters apart, Mathison suddenly shouted at Batman, with a vaguely depressed tone.

"Before performing a trick, you must never reveal what is about to happen; you cannot perform the same magic trick twice in front of the same audience, at the same time, and at the same place."

"These three famous magic trick principles, you broke two of them at once this time. Phantom Kid, perhaps you think you are genius enough to be a special case, but as a true magician, you don’t seem to have learned the basics."

Batman's deep magnetic voice responded to Phantom Kid.

"And by learning how to walk in the sky, I'm just proving to people that your airwalk is no miracle, and that anyone can actually do it with a bit of training."

"All the so-called 'miracles' are actually nothing more than a hoax."

Hearing this, Phantom Kid waved his hand.

"Wow, Batman, did you know that your current behavior is just smashing other people's jobs?"

"You are a superhero, why are you studying the principles of magic tricks? Well, I must admit that I am tempted to challenge the guy who invented these principles, he seems to be a bit arrogant to me."

"But there is one thing upon which I disagree with you."

Suddenly, Kid's frivolous tone became serious.

"I never thought of using 'miracles' as a hoax to deceive my audience, and there is no ulterior conspiracy."

"Perhaps magic itself is a hoax, but in fact, every audience knows this very well, still, why are there many who like it? Because people who watch magic love to be deceived."

Batman glanced at Kid, who was not far in front of him with a surprised expression. He didn't expect him to say this.

However, Batman discovered a clue when he carefully observed Kid.

The distance between the two was too far before; so he couldn’t see many details clearly. However, now that there is only less than 30 meters between the two, Batman can naturally find many details that he couldn’t see before.

For example, the steel wire hoisted from Unit No. 7 doesn't seem to be hung on Phantom Kid's body...

Kid was indeed air walking and was approaching Batman's position step by step. Even the sound of his footsteps never stopped emerging from the loudspeaker.

Could it be a dummy?

No, even a dummy must be dangled with a wire. In addition to that, Batman already has a deep understanding of Kid’s dummies, and he can be sure that the man in front of him is not one of them.

Unless……

"Alfred, speed up and get closer to Unit No. 7, I'm want to confirm one thing."

Batman urged Alfred on the helicopter.

Chapter 94: This Elf is Cheating!

"You want a duel? Come on! Are you afraid you won't make it?”

Is Arman afraid of this guy?

That's impossible!

"Very good! Let's go to the nearby practice field No. 3 to try it out!"

Tom said as he wanted to leave the place.

No one is getting any benefit, it is just a simple duel.

However, the result of the duel will definitely be spread among the students, and the loser will generally suffer mental torture.

Many will ridicule the loser until his self-esteem crashes.

And the winner will get to show off for the rest of his life.

In addition to the fact that the loser will always take a detour if the winner shows in his path.

Upon hearing the other guy, Arman said, "Wait! I haven't eaten yet! Are you, guys, hoping to take advantage of a hungry elf?"

"Huh!" When he said so, Tom looked at Arman with an ugly expression: "Then eat your meal! Don't think about escaping! I want to teach you a lesson and let you know the gap between temporary students and formal students!"

"Gap?" Arman's face looked aggressive, he seems to remember the scene of being defeated by Peter before and beaten up by the teacher afterward!

As a giant dragon, he is a little ashamed of not being able to beat humans!

He gritted his teeth, and grunted: "Just wait! This time, I will teach you, ignorant humans, who Arman is!"

His eyes were fixed on Tom, but his hands kept on grabbing the food in the basin and stuffing it into his mouth.

The way he is eating couldn’t be more heroic!

The noble students next to him looked stunned!

Their impression of the elves seems a little different now!

They quietly watched Arman eat for more than 20 minutes before he finished his meal.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, patted his stomach, and said, "Not bad, 30% full! Let’s go!"

"Guu~~~"

Just about then, a student next to Tom suddenly screamed.

A group of people looked at him, and he blushed a little and said: "I trained too hard before! I was a little hungry..."

"Why don't we wait until you guys finish eating too! We are competing, aren’t we?" Arman said indifferently.

"No need!" Tom grumbled to the student's stomach: "You, eat for now, you don’t need to follow me"

Then he said to Arman again: "Let’s go! I can’t wait to teach you ignorant elf a lesson!"

"Well then!" Arman agreed.

A group of people got out of the restaurant, came to the first floor, and headed for a nearby dojo.

They were at least followed by twenty students.

This attracted the students on the floor below. And for no certain reason, people grouped and followed the two to the dojo.

Because of lunchtime, there are no people in practice field No. 3 at this time.

A group of people watching the play voluntarily gave the two opponents enough space to partake in their duel.

Arman and Tom came to the center and each took their swords from the weapon racks.

Arman’s ironwood greatsword, Tom’s ironwood one-handed sword.

Tom glanced at Arman, who was holding the greatsword, and sneered: "An elf who is 1.6 meters tall is actually using a greatsword? Are you trying to make me laugh so that you can win this duel? How can there be such an arrogant and stupid fellow among the elegent elves like you?!"

‘That little bastard, how dare he scold me!’

‘If I don't beat you up today, I am not worthy of being a dragon!’

Arman gripped with all his might the sword in his hand and stared at this brat firmly. In the end, the two sides were in a tacit understanding. When one side acted first, the other acted accordingly.

At the moment of approaching his opponent, Arman's greatsword slashed forward at the enemy!

Tom looked at the great sword that was slashing towards him. And although he appeared angry at Arman, deep down, he was anxious!

Because his strength is at the bottom of the student ranks!

He has only a level-7 strength!

This level is a bit low, there is really a possibility of being defeated by a powerful temporary student!

With his one-handed sword wave, Tom smashed Arman's offense at a very fast speed, and the two quickly fought to a standstill.

After being abused by a 15th-level swordsman, Arman's strength improved quickly.

This is mainly because he has a good foundation, and his brain reacts faster than ordinary people. Now, his true strength is no longer weaker than Peter!

At the time, Peter was quite shocked!

‘If the Dragonborn's talent is good, why is this elf almost equally as powerful?’

‘Is there any justice in this world?’

Comparing the two, when their difference in strength is not obvious, one is usually able to tell the victor from the defeated before the seventieth or eightieth round. By then, both of them will consume almost the same stamina!

Fighting for more than ten rounds, Arman gradually fell into a disadvantage!

This reassured the group of bullies a little bit!

After all, if the challenger loses, he will live in shame! This will make the bullies who have been following Tom feel ashamed of hanging out with him!

Although it's also shameful enough to kiss people's asses all day long, they don't want Tom to lose either!

This guy's eldest brother, William, is what they want to please.

It is ridiculous to say that students who are also considered geniuses enter the [General Sword] Academy only to become ass-kissing brothers!

This is all the persecution of reality!

They, who were originally proud and confident, didn't realize how small they were until they got to the center of the whole kingdom!

The gap between a genius and another is bigger than the gap between an ordinary genius and a mortal!

It can be depressing sometimes!

Back to the fight.

The bullies, looking at the two fighting each other, guessed that after another thirty or forty rounds, Tom would definitely take down the elf.

Tom in the battle can also see it naturally, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if he has seen his opponent defeated by him, ashamed after being humiliated.

Arman also felt something was wrong, he cannot afford to lose this competition, to this person!

With this thought in his mind, a white mist rose up all over his body!

A ball of ice sprayed towards his opponent from his wide-open mouth!

Watching the oncoming ice ball, Tom was shocked!

He hurriedly donkey-rolled, dodging the greatsword and the ice ball, and took a few steps back.

He shouted: "Asshole, cheater! How dare you use your bloodline spells!"

Tom's eyesight is not bad, and those who can enter the general sword student are not mediocre fighters. Their eyesight is not low.

They naturally know about bloodline spells.

The so-called bloodline spell is an ability passed down from the bloodline of a certain extraordinary existence among the parents, thus its name, bloodline spell.

Generally, those who possess this ability are hybrids, such as Dragonborn, and such as humans with the blood of giants.

Of course, purebred humans can also possess bloodline abilities/spells, but one of their parents must be a legendary-class powerhouse!

Legendary powerhouses can’t be regarded as ordinary humans after evolution. Their life level advances and they generally unlock a legendary ability!

This kind of ability is so strange and powerful that it is inscribed in their bloodline, enough to be passed onto future generations.

However, after the descendants inherit it, its power will be greatly reduced, and might even disappear directly after a few generations.

Arman, this bastard elf, obviously one of his parents is an elf, and the other is an unknown race!

Chapter 107: The AirWalk Mystery is Cracked

The next day, a few minutes before midnight, at the backstage of the Stark Expo Center Pavilion, Tony and Pepper were talking.

At this time, Tony had already put on his steel suit.

"Tony, you should know why we planned this out."

Pepper stared at Tony with a serious face, fearing that he would do something irrational when his temper gets out of hand.

"Don't worry, Pepper. I certainly don't want to die. As long as there is the slightest possibility, I won’t give up. But the premise of this all is that Phantom Kid really knows how to treat my palladium poisoning."

Tony put his hand on Pepper's shoulder to signal her peace of mind.

"Even if I am having a hard time believing how good a thief is in chemistry, it's just...I really have no other choice now."

"If that bat is going to come and get him, he’s going to have to wait until I get my answer from him!"

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Pepper asked in surprise as she slapped down Tony's hand on her shoulder.

"Late last night, after the fair was fully closed, Batman came here and carefully checked both buildings. The buildings’ Kid was between."

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't sleep last night and stayed here all night, I wouldn't know that he had been here, because the monitor hadn't photographed him at all."

"I don't know why but obviously Batman is obsessed with Phantom Kid."

Tony said.

"That's not the point of my question. What exactly did you mean by that sentence? Are you planning to help Phantom Kid when Batman goes to catch him?"

Pepper's brows furrowed tightly.

"Are you crazy, Tony?"

"I'm not, I know exactly what I'm doing."

"If Phantom Kid knows a way to save me, then what's wrong with helping him out for once?"

Tony asked indifferently.

"The problem is: when people see Iron Man stopping Batman in order to help Phantom Kid, do you know what will happen?"

"No, I am not going to do it to help Kid, I am going to do it to catch Batman."

Hearing this, Tony smiled confidently.

"In Gotham, Batman is still the most wanted criminal. I believe that Chief Gordon of GCPD would be very happy to let me help him catch Batman."

Pepper was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to make of Tony's idea.

"Are you so sure that Batman can crack the magic trick performed by Kid yesterday?"

"Haha, Pepper, that's not a magic trick."

Tony laughed and said, "Don't forget that Phantom Kid has a partner. With the presence of two people, it couldn't be easier to walk in the air like yesterday."

"Kid only needs to let his helper fly the helicopter over his head, and we will subconsciously believe that there is nothing above Kid's head."

"But in fact, he only needs to use claw hooks to hang the steel wire on the railings of the buildings on both sides at the beginning, and let himself hang in the air on the two buildings first."

"At the time Unit Nr 7 appeared above Kid's, he used another wire to hang himself vertically from it."

"Then, before George's men reached the top of the building, the steel wires on the railings on both sides of the building were taken back, so that the policemen would not be able to find the steel wires at the feet of the Kid or on the fence."

"Maybe, if they searched more carefully they could have found the scratch marks left on the railing when the claw hooks were retrieved, but no one would have been meticulous enough to do that under those circumstances."

"Not to mention that Kid had already been walking in the sky, and the possibility of the existence of steel wires on the fence has almost been subconsciously ruled out."

Hearing this, Pepper nodded clearly.

"Did you notice it yesterday? Phantom Kid accurately controlled his steps. About one meter per step, but with his height, his normal stride should be between 60 cm and 70 cm."

"In other words, he was not really walking in the sky, but being flown forward by helicopter. His footsteps had also been recorded in advance and played with a loudspeaker, but his acting skills are superb enough to deceive everyone’s eyes."

"After all, no matter how good Kid's helper is at flying the helicopter, it is impossible to accurately go onward at only a few tens of centimeters per second."

At this point, the secret of the air walk was cracked by Tony.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!"

"We meet again!"

Suddenly, the voice of Phantom Kid rang from all directions.

Tony and Pepper looked at each other and took the elevator backstage to the top of the building together.

A cloud of smoke exploded, and Phantom Kid reappeared in the same position as yesterday.

"Kid!"

"Kid!"

"Kid!"

After the air walk performed by Phantom Kid yesterday, Mathison finally had his first loyal fan group in New York.

And now, when he appeared, countless people cheered and screamed for him.

They screamed Kid's name in unison.

"Clack… click… clack..."

In front of tens of thousands of people, Phantom Kid once again showed exactly the same performance as yesterday.

"Coulson, Phantom Kid has appeared and is under surveillance."

On a hidden building nearby, Barton lurked on and watched Phantom Kid step by step towards the center pavilion.

Twelve elite agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were distributed in various hidden high buildings around, some are disguised as ordinary people, and some are lurking behind obstacles.

Without exception, all directions of Phantom Kid were locked.

"I have seen him too, it is still not the right time for us to act. Keep your watch."

From the roof of a building 1,600 meters away from the center pavilion, Coulson held a sniper rifle, staring at the roof of the center pavilion.

There was Tony, Pepper, Chief George, and his elite subordinates.

Of course, there is also the target of Phantom Kid.

The Mountain of Light.

This priceless diamond is being kept in a glass cabinet made of super-hardened glass at this time.

The glass cabinet is dead-set on a highly technological table that automatically retracts beneath the floor with the flick of a switch.

Into a special treasure room downstairs.

Coulson's purpose was not to snipe Tony or any one of them but to confirm where Phantom Kid would go next, once he steals the Mountain of Light.

"Mr. Stark, Phantom Kid is ahead. You have to put on your battle suit. Why are you still standing here and not stopping him?"

George looked at Tony and asked in a weird voice.

Chapter 635: Chang Zhang (Part 1)

5/6 chapter, enjoy.

--------------------

　　While Nebula was worried about Fang Yun's situation, The latter was furiously flying towards the capital of the Heisenberg empire. His rampage was devastating, as he destroyed anything in his way, whether they were planets or stars.

　　At this time, Fang Yun seemed to have become a world-ending calamity beast, with the will to destroy everything, consuming everything in front of him.

　　Due to his intense rage, he didn’t notice that a fleet was heading towards him.

　　This fleet probably had thousands of starships. There were countless soldiers around the starships, and judging from the fact that they were able to easily fly in space, they were at least planet-level.

　　On each ship of this fleet, there was a huge word edged on their side, “Heisenberg”. Naturally, this fleet belongs to the Heisenberg empire.

　　In the center of the fleet, in the control center of the command ship Cavabar, a gray-haired man was staring at the instruments in front of him. 

　　​​Although the man had gray hair, his face was full of energy, especially his eyes. They were extremely sharp, almost as if they would tear a hole in space. Mortals and low-level cultivators would explode by just staring at him.

　　​​"Are you able to determine its location?"

　　Chang Zhang asked the soldier in front of him, and the latter quickly replied,

　　"Marshal, we can now determine his location."

　　The soldier continued tapping on the instrument board in front of him, and soon after, multiple images appeared on the screen in front of him.

　　There was a huge serpent in the middle of the screen.

　　"Is this big guy our target?"

　　It's not the first time that Chang Zhang has seen Fang Yun, but Fang Yun's form often changes, sometimes extremely huge, sometimes ordinary.

　　This time, for example, the size of this monster is incredible.

　　According to the system data in front of him, This cosmic serpent’s body length has reached hundreds of millions of kilometers. Generally, the distance between a star and a life planet is around 100 million kilometers.

　　The distance between the sun and the earth is just a bit over that range, but Fang Yun’s currently displayed size is several times bigger than that.

　　Through the screen, they could see that this serpent was using its huge body to rampage along the way, destroying anything in its path, and its goal seems to be their fleet.

　　"How much time do we have until we collide with this monster?"

　　Chang Zhang cringed a bit after seeing the massive size of this monster. He didn’t expect this star beast to have such a large body size. It’s definitely the biggest creature he had ever seen.

　　Moreover, he had a question. Since this monster can change its body size at will. Is this form even its biggest?

　　"About ten minutes."

　　The soldier was a bit stunned, but he quickly reacted and reported to Chang Zhang.

　　Hearing this, Chang Zhang nodded and said,

　　"Tell the fleet to begin to prepare for battle."

　　"Disperse."

　　"Yes!"

　　The soldier ahead saluted, then returned to operating on the instrument board, executing the orders that he received.

　　​​Time slowly passed. About five minutes later, Fang Yun had finally sensed the fleet opposite to him.

　　"Are they finally here?"

　　After sensing the incoming fleet, Fang Yun’s energy surged, shaking the surrounding space. His killing intent swept the surrounding area, dying it a pale red.

　　At this time, Fang Yun was like an extremely huge volcano ready to erupt, or like a star about to explode, with extremely huge energy accumulating in his body, desperately needing a target to release it on.

　　Soon, the two sides collided.

　　Of course, relatively speaking, they were still millions of miles away from each other, but for beings at their level, such a distance is nothing.

　　Suddenly, the opposite fleet released countless attacks. From later beams to energy attacks, all came surging towards Fang Yun.

　　However, before they could touch his body, they were either deflected to the side or reflected back towards them, unable to truly touch him.

　　“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

　　Although the fleet quickly dispersed, the reflected attacks caused great damage to them.

　　It’s unknown how many planet-level cultivators were either torn apart or simply reduced to dust. Cultivators of this level are simply cannon fodder in a battle of this level.

　　"Damn it!"

　　In the command ship, Chang Zhang cursed upon seeing Fang Yun’s ability. He then ordered the fleet to turn around and create some distance. He understands that for a being of this level and with such an ability, fleets, no matter their size, couldn’t pose a threat to it.

　　What he needs to do now is to fight this opponent at close quarters.

　　"Long Wu, Lin Tian, bring all of your subordinates and go test the strength of that monster."

　　After pondering for a moment, Chang Zhang issued an order to the two behind him.

　　The two people behind him nodded, then turned around and left.

　　After a while, two cultivator teams appeared in space. They were led by Long Wu and Lin Tian, quickly flying towards the serpent on the opposite side, and they soon entered the close combat range.

　　Back in the command center, Chang Zhang coldly watched this scene.

　　"I wonder how much power and skill can they force this serpent to use."

　　Chang Zhang thought internally. He needs more information about this serpent before he makes a valid plan.

　　These are his two generals. They are highly valued by him, so he also does not want to have any incidents. However, they know almost nothing about this serpent’s combat capabilities and skills, hence he could only send them to test out the water.

　　On the other side, Fang Yun naturally noticed the two groups approaching him. With his perception ability, he immediately determined the strength of the two leaders.

　　Both of them are sages, but not particularly strong ones. They should have just recently advanced to this level.

　　Although Fang Yun instantly devoured the third prince, many people that have watched the video determined that this was due to Fang Yun’s ‘sneak attack’ and ‘dirty tactics’, which was using his mental power to temporarily paralyze the third prince before devouring him.

　　If the third prince had the time to respond, things wouldn’t have ended that way. At least, that’s what they thought.

　　Therefore, when fighting Fang Yun, they must firmly guard against his mental attacks.

Chapter 106: Batman’s Discovery

"Phantom Kid is different from any supervillain we had known in the past. We can't be sure whether he has a lot of abilities or not."

Coulson said solemnly.

"He can change his appearance, he can change his voice, he can breathe fire, he can teleport, he can fly, and he might have other special abilities that we don't know yet..."

"What we know for sure is that the skills mastered by Phantom Kid are not related to each other. In theory, it should be impossible to be held by one person at the same time."

"But the reality says otherwise?"

Barton asked.

"Yes, every time he appears, he reveals new abilities. No one delimits what he can do. No explanation is available at this point."

Coulson sighed.

"Are those really superpowers?"

Barton questioned again, "I mean, even though Phantom Kid has shown his fire-breathing superpower, he has only used it once, hasn't he?" he said.

"So, could he be as speculated by the FBI and the CIA as a magician with a high IQ who is good at making use of chemical knowledge. It may be just a simple matter of spontaneous combustion."

"That is impossible!"

Coulson interrupted, "There is one thing you don't know. That is, soon after the Tamil Ruby incident, the chief sent Simmons to the scene to collect information, but she found nothing."

"There is no sign of a chemical reaction, and there are no undesirable substances left on the scene."

"Jemma Simmons? I remember she seemed to be a level 5 logistics agent."

Barton didn't have a deep impression of the person Coulson was referring to.

"She is S.H.I.E.L.D. 's best expert in biology, chemistry, and medicine. If she says that this is not done using chemical means, it must not be."

Coulson smiled and said, "This is why both the Director and I are so convinced that Phantom Kid has superpowers."

Barton finally understood Coulson's doubts about Kid's ability.

"Hmm... I may have some guesses about the different types of superpowers that Phantom Kid can use."

"Tell me about it."

"In legends, people with magical power exist. These magicians, wizards, and sorcerers can cast all sorts of miracles by chanting spells."

Barton spoke his thoughts seriously.

After hearing Barton's words, Coulson couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Barton, I like your sense of humor, but I have to tell you that there is nothing such as “magic” in this world, there are only countless superhumans or... aliens."

"Magicians do not exist."

Coulson said with confidence.

It's no wonder that Kamar-Taj's existence is not something that "ordinary" organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. can reach.

Even Mathison had never seen a second magician after having been active for such a long time.

Uh... yeah... Johnny English doesn't count.

"Tomorrow is the time of our official action. The director gave a deadly order, to capture Kid alive."

"Our actions cannot be carried out in public, so we have to wait until Kid succeeds in stealing the Mountain of Light before acting. If he fails, it will be better. We can transfer Phantom Kid to S.H.I.E.L.D. through the relationship above."

Coulson gathered the team members together and began making the final briefing.

"But we can't let the police open fire, otherwise it would be bad for us; whether it angers Kid or kills him. So, I have already reported to the director."

"Tomorrow George will receive a call from the Department of Justice, dictating that he is not allowed to open fire within the confines of the fair."

After the explanation, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team disappeared into the darkness.

On the other side was Pepper's personal assistant, the red-haired beauty, Natalie, also known as Natasha Romanov, a tenth-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

At this moment, she was in an unoccupied room, talking with her boss Nick Fury.

"Tony Stark has been acting very odd lately, he's often alone with Pepper and won't let anyone get close, even I can't be sure what they're actually discussing."

"Natasha, you have been in Stark Industries for a while, what do you think of this?"

"Stark's palladium poisoning can basically be confirmed to be true, and his current symptoms have reached a very serious level. Palladium poisoning produced by his toxic blood has circulated through a large part of his body."

Natasha told Fury what she saw.

"I think Stark has no hope for his own life now, so he started to explain his funeral to Pepper."

"It is indeed a reasonable judgment. It seems that I have to come forward as soon as possible, um... after the end of Phantom Kid thing tomorrow, you tell me Tony's itinerary, and I will go and talk to him properly."

Fury’s eyes were deep and invisible. Only in the most desperate times that people will be recklessly trying to grab any rope that can save their lives. And only in this case, people will really appreciate the people who saved him.

Just like Tony Stark, a person who is so proud to the bone, must be in his most desperate moments before Fury hands him the rope.

At the same time, this would be more convenient for Fury… to control him.

"No problem, sir."

The call was hung up.

Time soon came to the latter part of the night, at this time the Stark Expo had passed the closing time, and no one was in the large expo.

The lights went out, and the whole expo was plunged into darkness and silence.

Only then, a black figure suddenly landed on the roof of a certain building, and then looked around on the roof.

The movement of this figure did not make a single sound, he was one with the darkness around him, without the slightest sense of incongruity.

As he was moving, the surroundings were scaringly quiet.

Apart from Batman, there is no second person in the world with this kind of temperament.

Batman was carefully looking for clues on the top of the building, in order to debunk Phantom Kid’s airwalk.

That's right, this building was one of the two, between which Phantom Kid appeared.

It was all done through the night vision function of the Bat helmet; Batman does not need flashlights to see everything in the dark.

«It is impossible to miss any wire under Phantom Kid’s at such a close distance.»

Batman walked to the fence on the top of the building, looked down and thought.

«If it weren't for the steel wire under his feet, it would have to be a steel wire hanging vertically from his shoulders. It is really hard to notice such a thing under the searchlight of the helicopter...»

Thinking about it, Batman slowly crouched down and checked every railing at once.

Finally, he found a strange scratch on the bottom of one of them.

«If this is the case, then there should be the same traces on the other side...»

Without saying anything, Batman rushed to the roof of the opposite building and found a scratch in the same place.

«So that's what happened...»

Chapter 634: Half-Step Universe Master (Part 2)

4/6 chapter, enjoy.

----------------------

　　Nebula sighed helplessly and patted his shoulders again.

　　"Luo Feng, if such authority is not in your hands, but in the hands of a more power-hungry person, things could be much much worse."

　　"It would be simply a disaster. Only people like you without a strong desire for power and control, and exceptional leadership qualities are fit to be in such a high position”

　　Nebula sighed at this moment, and then said,

　　“So, in order to avoid such a situation, we must firmly grasp this power in our own hands. At least, until we find someone fit to take it on.”

　　Luo Feng was startled upon hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Nebula, the latter smiled back,

　　"Luo Feng, there are some things that we have to bear."

　　"Protecting the Metaverse and its inhabitants is our privilege and responsibility, and to do so, we must sometimes make choices that we don’t like, and the pressure needed to make such choices is something we should bear."

　　"Senior Nebula, I understand."

　　Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng regained his spirit, then looked at Nebula with firm eyes.

　　"Senior Nebula, I will pass on the order now."

　　"Yeah."

　　Nebula nodded, and Luo Feng, who was beside him, turned and walked towards the door of the command room.

　　Nebula silently watched this scene, his thoughts wandering off.

　　"I hope that the league will survive this time."

　　He had a cold expression on his face

　　"The Heisenberg Empire? So what? If things go out of control, we can just return to the nine heavens."

　　Nebula murmured,

　　"The nine heavens exist within a completely desolate area of the desolate cosmos, hidden within countless ruins and dangerous places. If we weren’t lucky back then, we wouldn’t have made it out of the desolate cosmos at all."

　　"Even if our conflict with the Heisenberg empire reaches a critical point, as long as we go back to the nine heavens, we’ll always have the chance to make a comeback."

　　Nebula looked ruthless. The reason why he didn’t say this to Luo Feng is that he didn’t want to discourage him. However, they still have to expect the worst and plan for their comeback.

　　Luo Feng stood on one side and retold the content of the discussion between him and Nebula to the current leader of the current Metaverse Alliance, Goro.

　　Immediately afterward, the huge cosmic empire started to work.

　　The current Metaverse league’s territory is very large, dozens of times bigger than its original size. Even some empires that have equal or even superior military strength don’t have a territory as large as theirs.

　　Because the entire Metaverse league is in a rapid growth period, they are confident that they can digest such a huge territory and grow further. 　　The old empires on the other hand don’t have such confidence. If they hold territory that is far beyond their military capabilities, they can only become a target.

　　Therefore, these old empires use a variety of different strategies. From simple diplomacy to holding puppet states, but rarely do they directly attack and conquer other empires.

　　The entire metaverse, under the orders of its leaders, began to operate in an orderly manner. Of course, the orderly nature of their operation is due to the lack of urgent actions. They are mostly transferring students to military bases and their families to safe locations.

　　In addition, all of the metaverse’s military entered a state of combat readiness.

　　Some keen people and forces have actually noticed this change, and many questions and news about the incoming war appeared on the Metaverse’s Network. This time, not many people refuted it, because they also know that a big war is likely to occur next.

　　Unfortunately, many people knew that their power could hardly compare to the Heisenberg empire, so they could only continue their daily life. It’s not that they don’t want to do something. They are powerless.

　　Of course, more people fell into a panic, creating chaos everywhere, but they could hardly change anything.

　　The route back to the Nine Heavens is now in the hands of the league’s high-level leaders, so for now, the situation of the metaverse league is still stable.

　　"Luo Feng, immediately contact Wu Chen and Luo Chun."

　　On the other side, Nebula said to Luo Feng again,

　　"We need outside intelligence now. Relying just on the news on the network would be a little stupid."

　　Wu Chen, Luo Chen, and many others are still mingling with the "gray mist"; With the support of the metaverse league, they have absorbed a lot of members.

　　As long as they pay some cultivation resources, they can easily employ other people. Now is a critical time for the Metaverse league. It’s not the time to be stingy with cultivation resources.

　　"Let them collect information about the fleets of the Heisenberg Empire."

　　Nebula's thoughts were particularly clear at this time

　　"We need to grasp the dynamics of those people."

　　"I understand."

　　Luo Feng nodded, then started operating on the console in front of him.

　　Nebula couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows. This time, they have used everything at their disposable.

　　Anyway, after this time, the cultivation resources of the metaverse league will be exhausted, and a large part of these resources are going to be spent on recruiting powerhouses from the “Gray Mist”.

　　"By the way, is there any news about the lord on the network?"

　　Nebula suddenly seemed to think of something, and quickly turned to inquire

　　"Sure enough, the information about the fleet and its leader appeared."

　　At this time, someone has already released all the relevant information about the fleet on the cosmic network.

　　After just a little thought, Nebula guessed that this is the work of the five biggest empires. After all, these five empires also have universe masters.

　　So although they are scrupulous of the strongest empire, they aren’t too afraid of it. At least, it’s not a problem to do some actions in secret.

　　"Chang Zhang, a peak-class sage. He killed many star beasts of the same level. He went into seclusion to try and breakthrough to the universe master level five hundred years ago, but he failed in the end."

　　Seeing this message, Nebula took a sharp breath.

　　"He once tried to break through to the universe master level?"

　　Nebula couldn't help but worry more,

　　"This man can be regarded as a half-step universe master, right?"
