Chapter 14 Fire God Source Crystal
His gaze swept towards the location where the mechanical fortress had been at the center of the explosion, but it was now completely empty.
Further away, there was a small, dark gold spaceship, only a hundred meters long, with a flat, streamlined shape.
Beside the spaceship stood two figures—the dark gold iron wall and another, slightly slender, silver mechanical human.
The cold, dark red electronic eye of the Iron Wall collided fiercely with Lin Qiyue's gaze across the distant void.
Its metallic face was expressionless, but Lin Qiyue clearly sensed a deep-seated killing intent and... a trace of barely perceptible heartache.
The Iron Wall Captain was holding a fist-sized crystal in his hand. It was crimson in color, with a surface that flowed with a magma-like light, and emitted a terrifying and destructive aura!
"Vulcan Source Crystal!!"
Lin Qiyue's pupils suddenly contracted.
He recognized this thing; it could be exchanged in the virtual universe treasure vault, and its power varied depending on its quality.
The highest-grade Vulcan Source Crystal can even directly kill a peak-level King!
"Humans... die!!!"
The cold, piercing electronic voice, carrying endless resentment, echoed directly in the void.
Without any hesitation, it swung its arm sharply, and the crimson Fire God Source Crystal instantly transformed into a stream of light, shooting straight toward Lin Qiyue, who had just regained her footing, at an astonishing speed!
At the same instant it threw out the Vulcan Source Crystal, it and its deputy turned around without hesitation, transforming into two streaks of light that instantly disappeared into the small, dark gold spaceship next to it.
hum!
The spaceship instantly fled at full speed!
"Damn it!!"
Lin Qiyue cursed angrily.
The other party was too decisive!
Use the valuable F9-level fortress and a large mechanical army as sacrificial pawns to attract attention, cover the main body to board a smaller, more flexible and faster spaceship, and then use a Vulcan Source Crystal, which is also worth a fortune, as the last means of rearguard action and killing!
Without the slightest hesitation, he retreated rapidly once more.
Boom! ...
The Vulcan Source Crystal was fully activated less than 100 kilometers ahead of Lin Qiyue!
The energy was like a rapidly expanding miniature star; wherever it passed, space was scorched, distorted, and melted, and all matter was directly vaporized!
Lin Qiyue was the first to be affected!
The multiple layers of defense were torn apart the moment they came into contact with this destructive energy!
He was blasted away again!
The terrifying aftershocks of the explosion swept across the area once again. Although the range was not as large as the fortress's self-destruction, the core destructive power was more concentrated and more terrifying!
"inflammation!!"
Just as Zi Mei and the others regained their footing, they saw Lin Qiyue once again engulfed by a terrifying crimson fireball, and their hearts sank.
This explosion came quickly and went quickly.
When the crimson light dissipated, only a huge spherical spatial depression, scorched smooth as a mirror, remained in the void, along with the slowly repairing spatial cracks around it.
Lin Qiyue's figure reappeared from the slowly unfolding silver wings.
His expression was extremely gloomy at that moment!
so close!
"So decisive... directly self-destructing the fortress and activating the Vulcan Source Crystal, just to buy time to escape..."
Lin Qiyue stared coldly in the direction where the spaceship had disappeared.
If it weren't for the killing of Wu Yuyi, I would definitely have been injured.
"This time, we've completely exposed our strength... but even with that, we still haven't been able to capture our opponent, or even inflict a fatal wound... The key is the lack of effective means to restrain them!"
He was acutely aware of his shortcomings.
With a hundredfold increase, his attack power, defense power, speed, and understanding of the laws are all comparable to those of a king.
However, the reason why powerful kings can easily kill marquises is not only because of their overwhelming strength, but also because they often possess powerful methods such as sealing, soul suppression, and domain binding, making it impossible for their opponents to escape.
His greatest strengths right now lie in direct attack and defensive survival.
In terms of speed, he had the wings to kill Wu.
Regarding spatial containment, he has only grasped some of the mysteries of spatial laws and is far from being able to form an effective spatial containment system.
An immortal deity, especially one who is willing to risk everything to escape, is indeed difficult to keep alive without strong restrictions.
Similarly, even if a Marquis is immortal and flees without regard for consequences, it is very difficult for a King to kill him.
Unless you get close and don't give them a chance.
The crucial point is that he was never able to get close to the mechanical immortal throughout the entire battle.
This is a common tactic used by the Mechs and Zerg: one uses mechanical golems, and the other uses a massive Zerg army.
It will almost never participate in combat in its main body.
"It's still too weak... or rather, its methods are too limited."
Lin Qiyue sighed inwardly.
"If one could master a powerful spacetime sealing technique, or possess a domain-type treasure... these two mechanical immortals would surely die today!"
Just then, several streaks of light rapidly approached.
"Yan! Are you alright?! You scared me to death!"
Qianmian was the first to rush over. Seeing that Lin Qiyue was a little disheveled but otherwise unharmed, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That explosion just now... I thought you were dead! That was a Vulcan Source Crystal! Something that can kill even an Immortal!"
Shi Feng also flew over, looking at Lin Qiyue with eyes full of awe and lingering fear.
Shadow, Azure Feather, Poison Sting, and Rock Armor also quickly gathered around, all looking at Lin Qiyue with concern.
As soon as Lin Qiyue had a thought, the Wu-killing wings behind her quickly retracted.
He waved his hand: "It's alright, my defense is quite strong. It's a pity that the guy still got away."
Zi Mei also flew over, her purple eyes carefully examining Lin Qiyue. Only after confirming that he was alright did she feel relieved. She reached out and patted his shoulder, a relieved smile on her face.
"It's good that you're alright! Your performance just now... far exceeded expectations! With that kind of strength, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move from you. In this battle, we've already made a great contribution! Facing a fully equipped elite squadron of the Machine Race alone, you slaughtered a large number of mechanical soldiers, destroyed at least two Immortal-level mechanical generals, severely damaged their fortress spaceship, and forced their commander to self-destruct the fortress and use the Vulcan Source Crystal to cover their retreat and escape... This achievement is enough to make you famous in the base!"
Her tone shifted, becoming serious: "However, we cannot linger here! Before those mechanical beings fled, they must have sent out information about this place, especially about you, 'Flame,' through special channels. Before long, this area will become a key target for the mechanical beings, and even a hunting ground for powerful members of other hostile races!"
"Everyone, board the ship immediately! We must leave right away and get out of this dangerous star system!"
As Zi Mei spoke, she took out another spare, more understated, dark green shuttle-shaped spaceship from her world ring.
This was clearly her prepared escape ship, not as advanced as the previous Shadow Shuttle, but still quite good.
With no objections, everyone quickly boarded the spaceship.
The hatch closed, and the dark green spaceship emitted a ghostly blue flame from its tail. After determining its direction, it transformed into a streak of light and quickly disappeared into the starry sky.
