Chapter 984 - Suffering Defeat
Chapter 984: Suffering Defeat
A barren planet, inside a crater.
Surrounded by many Blood Dragons, Fang Yuan strolled on the Blood Dragon Thearch and inscribed Dao Patterns.
“The so-called Dao Patterns and Aural Dao might be evolutions of immortal techniques and arcane spells, but to put it simply, they are also an agglomeration of nomological power, similar to the power of a Great Dao…”
In this regard, although the science and technology of this world could not study it, he had great advantages as a Demon God.
Fang Yuan was currently preparing to inscribe as many patterns of his Great Daos as possible on the Blood Dragon Thearch.
“The Undead Immortals of the East inscribe immortal technique Dao Patterns on their mechas. The Arcanists of the West use legendary arcane spell arrays… My Blood Dragon Thearch will use both!”
In fact, from Fang Yuan’s perspective, the Blood Dragon Thearch had just reached the minimum level to be considered a Thearch-grade mecha, even though it had absorbed the flesh of two Demon Gods. He would need something more if he wanted to truly dominate the battlefield.
“The Dao Pattern I showed on East Dragon campus was but temporary. I have to have the Immortal Sword Tactics in a permanent form on the mecha, and then do some refinement…”
After deciding the immortal technique, there was still the legendary arcane spell. Fang Yuan was not planning to inscribe necromancy on the Blood Dragon Thearch.
“In this aspect, maybe I can ask the Human Alliance for help…”
Fang Yuan looked thoughtfully at his stats window.
“Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)

Power Recovered: 90%!”
“Ninety percent is the limit in this world. Foreign Demon Gods can only exert at most ninety percent of their power…” Fang Yuan shook his head. “My levels in the Arcane and cultivation have completely crossed the threshold… The true horror of concurrent cultivation can only be fully demonstrated after level twenty-one!”
However, his lifeform had not changed at all even though he had broken through. Any Undead Immortal would be confused by it.
After inscribing the Immortal Sword Tactics, Fang Yuan dialed a number. “Venerable Three Star, how’s the information I gave you?”
“Unbelievable!” On the other side of the screen, Venerable Three Star had a surprised face. “Using your method, the success rate of inscribing has increased by thirty-five percent! It’s very effective for the growth of our armaments!”
“These are things I developed during my time in the Blood Dragon Research Institute. There may be more results if you give me a high-end laboratory!”
Fang Yuan smiled and added immediately, “However, I want the research on a legendary arcane spell model.”
“Legendary arcane spell… No problem if it’s just one!”
Venerable Three Star was dumbfounded but nodded anyway, recalling Lin Meng’s interest in legendary arcane spells. “Which one do you want?”
“The legendary arcane spell—Still Time!” Fang Yuan blinked.
“Oh! This arcane spell… not many Grand Arcanists can handle it. Moreover, it only works on a limited area for a very short amount of time… Of course, in today’s perspective, this Still Time doesn’t mean that time becomes still. On the contrary, it is accelerating! In that instant, the caster will accelerate to an unbelievable speed. In their view, everything they see will become static…”
“Makes sense. That’s why I want to study this arcane spell model!” Fang Yuan said without blinking. “Also… how’s the recent war situation?”
“Not good!” Venerable Three Star shook his head. “The Cosmic Lifeform Alliance started their retaliation after the battle on Planet East Dragon. We’re in fierce battles on all fronts. There’s also bad news… The Seven Emotions Overmind has appeared on the battlefield once again!”
“That’s expected. Do you need my help?” Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.
“What? You’re willing to appear on the battlefield?” Venerable Three Star was quite surprised. After all, in his impression, this alien called Lin Meng was rather cunning.
“Of course not… But don’t you think I have something on hand that can quickly turn things around?” The towering figure of the Blood Dragon Thearch appeared behind Fang Yuan. “I can provide you the Momon armor for free. What do you think?”
“You mean manufacture another huge batch of your subordinates?” Venerable Three Star asked in return.
“Well, I can’t relinquish the innate control over them. It’s like the Zerg…” Fang Yuan spread his hands. “But… the war has already started. Can you really support the consumption of high-grade mechas? Where else can you find such a batch of high-quality cannon fodder outside of the Blood Dragon series?”
“Let me think about it!” Venerable Three Star was struggling.
The Blood Dragon series that Fu Hongxue developed was a complete overture of the mechas of the past. Rather, his technology and the unintentional collaboration with the Seven Emotions Overmind broke through a certain bottleneck, achieving unmanned mechas.
In the past, any random cosmic ray could cause signal interference, which was why every mecha required a pilot.
But now, the Blood Dragon series had completely broken through this obstacle. The status of the Blood Dragon Thearch was akin to that of a Zerg tribe’s empress.
Of course, the real top mechas required the mecha and the pilot to collaborate to display immortal techniques.
The Blood Dragons did not have this ability, which was why they could only be considered pseudo Emperor-grade. Nonetheless, they could achieve remote operation without interference from outside.
“Actually, you can send mecha pilots to control the Blood Dragons if you want!” Fang Yuan said sincerely. “This way, you can completely dispel your doubts! And the mechas would then be able to reach their full potential!”
“Really?” Venerable Three Star shook his head. “Apologies… we won’t send so many outstanding young lads to you as hostages!”
“That’s a shame!”
After understanding their worry, Fang Yuan said no more on the matter.
They would come to him if they suffered enough defeats anyway.
“A top laboratory has been prepared for you. Our greatest hope is to unravel the wormhole technology…” Venerable Three Star came to the issue at hand.
“Wormhole? I might have some leads…” Fang Yuan laughed.
The Gaias People’s level of technology was not far behind that of the Human Alliance. However, they had a revolutionary breakthrough once the Seven Emotions Overmind sided with them. They had obviously applied external technology.
Fang Yuan was confident in this area as well.
“Is that so? That’s great…”
Venerable Three Star was happy from the bottom of his heart… until Fang Yuan dropped a bomb of unpredictability the very next moment.
“But I want to carry out the research by myself for the time being. You only need to send me information!”
“What?”
…
Fang Yuan found Venerable Three Star’s perplexed face funny as he smashed the communicator in his hands. “I have to change places soon. Can’t stay here any longer.”
Their collaboration could never be straightforward until humanity faced the real possibility of extinction.
…
A few months passed by in the blink of an eye.
Devil Galaxy.
The giant Seven Emotions Overmind soared through space, spewing out ugly Seven
Emotions Zerg.
Below, numerous explosions and screams rang out from inside a heavily-armed planetary fortress.
Rumble!
A huge hole opened in the defense.
Countless Zerg swarmed through the gap.
In space, the Gaias People piloted their mechas, actively searching for and killing any survivors.
“Detestable!”
A wave of reinforcements from the Human Alliance arrived outside of the planetary ring. “This is our last stronghold in the Devil Galaxy. We can’t give up!”
“We will face extinction if the cosmic lifeforms take control of all the psionic crystal mines!”
…
A golden-yellow mecha glowed like the sun behind them.
“Sir Augustus!” Venerable Dark Star, the Black Death God, and the Thunder God surrounded the Wings of the Sun God. “What should we do? Attack immediately?”
Augustus’s reaction was a little strange, gazing at the darkness of the universe silently.
“There…”
Venerable Dark Star was shocked when he saw a black mecha.
It had integrated with the darkness of the universe. At this time, the pure black mecha revealed itself, reflecting a sparkling radiance. Merely being there brought a huge amount of pressure and suffocation.
“The Cosmic Thearch! Even the King of Gaias is here!” Dark Star and the rest exclaimed.
“Let’s… retreat!”
The Wings of the Sun God spread his right hand, and golden flames formed a pathway to receive the survivors.
“Sir?!”
Dark Star and the rest bit their lips, their eyes turning blood-red.
“They don’t only have one King of Gaias!” Augustus stood at the rear of the team. “You retreat first!”
“Understood!”
At this time, they could only retreat even if they did not understand.
Augustus was looking at the Cosmic Thearch without a word.
“Augustus, you truly are my eternal rival!” The voice of the King of Gaias came from the Cosmic Thearch.
Darkness withdrew. The Seven Emotions Overmind was now beside the Cosmic Thearch and confronting Augustus.
The Seven Emotions Overmind shook its wings, and a mysterious voice loomed. “Looks like you’re not accepting my good intentions. The Human Alliance can only perish then!”
“There’s no need to talk so much with him. We’ll certainly help you find the person you want after we destroy the Human Alliance!” the King of Gaias said. “The Devil Galaxy is already ours. As long as we mine enough psionic crystals, the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance will become the only overlord of the universe!”
