Chapter 380: Clash
After six rumbling sounds, six more mushroom clouds exploded in the sky. Massive energy shockwaves radiated outwards from the sky, sweeping away the surrounding clouds. Many small spaceships and shuttles were tossed about like sailboards in giant waves by these energy shockwaves.
And this powerful energy shockwave directly triggered a reactive response from Fallen Star's defensive array.
Multi-colored light beams rose from various buildings on Fallen Star. Galaxy World City's ancient tree fort condensed a green light beam several hundred meters thick, shooting straight into the clouds, transforming into a green energy banner. A green energy pillar also shot out from the Myriad Flower Forest; the light pillar transformed into a large green flag formation gate in mid-air. The flag surface rolled up, instantly covering half the sky within it.
A sound like earthquake-like waves came from underground, followed by a blue light shooting out from the ground. A blue energy flag surface waved in mid-air, and a vast, boundless ocean instantly appeared in the sky.
From the building where East Galaxy Company's headquarters was located, earthen yellow light bloomed. The earthen yellow light condensed in mid-air into a divine beast phantom with a dragon head, deer antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales, horse hooves, and cow tail.
"What's going on?" Kane, who was sitting on the top floor of the East Galaxy Headquarters, in the President/CEO Office, listening to Elder Mandel and Yondu's report, felt the powerful energy fluctuation outside. He got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rising mushroom clouds in the distance, then at the Kirin phantom constantly pawing its four hooves in mid-air. He furrowed his brow. "How could the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation be activated!?"
This set of formation diagrams used on Fallen Star was from back when Fallen Star was built. He and Lane accompanied Boss to Fallen Star to cut the ribbon for East Galaxy Company. They laid out a set of five Great Perfection magic tool formation diagrams with thirty-six restrictions on Fallen Star. Boss also transferred three thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen to sort out Fallen Star's earth vein energy.
On one hand, the earth vein energy of the entire Fallen Star nourished the five Great Perfection magic tools. On the other hand, the five magic tools integrated with the entire Fallen Star's earth vein.
Once the formation is activated, unless the attack targeting Fallen Star is a planet-destroying great killer weapon capable of destroying Fallen Star in one go, otherwise, with the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation's durability, it can easily counteract dozens of charged bombings from ordinary Tier 2-3 warship main cannons.
But generally, unless actively activated, this Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation will only activate when encountering strong energy impact.
Adam and Black Bolt's aura... Adam actually manifested his Kui Ox true body. Has he encountered a troublesome enemy!?
Elder Mandel and Yondu also walked to the window at this time, looking at the sudden change outside. For a moment, they looked at each other.
"You two stay here and understand the situation, I'll go out and take a look first!" Looking at the multi-colored lightning balls rising in the sky, Kane gave an order. His figure transformed into a wisp of breeze and directly disappeared inside the office.
"Intruder, coming for you!"
It wasn't until two minutes after Kane disappeared inside the office that Elder Mandel received the information from Galaxy World City.
It's not that Galaxy World City's reaction was slow, but rather the sudden activation of the Five Elements Chaotic Origin Great Formation caught Galaxy World City off guard.
In addition, Galaxy World City's security, under Paul's command, rushed to Adam's side for reinforcements immediately, so the information spread a few minutes slower.
"Yondu, time is urgent now. You first rush to the spaceport, command the defensive fleet, blockade the entire Fallen Star, and strictly prohibit any spaceship from leaving Fallen Star!"
From the beeping communicator, Elder Mandel quickly understood the entire sequence of matters.
While mobilizing half of the entire defensive strength to rush to Adam's side for reinforcements, he simultaneously ordered the iron soldiers and sentinel robots from the armory to deploy urgently. A portion was dispatched for reinforcements, and a portion was responsible for planet stabilization, suppressing the Marauders and Space Pirates who were taking advantage of the chaos.
Under Elder Mandel's order, Yondu directly passed through the emergency passage and arrived at East Galaxy Company's helipad. Over a dozen of the most advanced small spaceship shuttles were parked there.
Although the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation was activated, blockading the entire Fallen Star, High-level Staff like Yondu from Tang Group all carried jade tablets bestowed by Boss Tang, allowing them to easily pass through the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation's formation.
Two minutes after Elder Mandel issued the order, Yondu had already appeared inside the defensive fleet mothership's command cabin at the outer space spaceport, quickly taking over the fleet's command authority, and ordered hundreds of warships to completely blockade Fallen Star.
On the other hand, he commanded the fleet to set up a formation facing outwards, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and sneak attacking Fallen Star.
At this time, on Fallen Star's planet surface, the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation was fully activated. The entire Fallen Star's Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) energy was attracted by the Five Elements Chaotic Sky, transforming into multi-colored lightning balls the size of baskets, whistling and condensing in mid-air.
And below Fallen Star, those Space Pirates, Marauders, and passengers who came to Fallen Star for leisure, as well as the local residents, were running back and forth, seemingly all looking for a way to escape. And looking at their bewildered eyes, one could tell they had no idea what was happening, or where they needed to escape to be safe.
The brilliant colors in the sky reflected down, illuminating the entire Fallen Star with unparalleled magnificence...
There were alien races sensitive to energy fluctuations staring dumbfounded at the strange changes in the sky. They could feel the immense energy contained within those multi-colored light spheres.
If all these light spheres were to fall, then the entire Fallen Star would likely be reduced to ruins.
At this time, in the middle of the multi-colored banner formation gate, a shadow seemingly condensed from energy was confronting Adam from a distance.
Adam formed hand seals with his hands. He had learned the simple manipulation techniques for the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation from Tang Song, coupled with the instinct to control lightning techniques originating from his Kui Ox bloodline.
Hundreds of multi-colored lightning balls, under his command, condensed into a ball of lightning, emitting a terrifying whistle and smashing straight towards Ego.
Ego, who had just lost his physical body under Black Bolt's attack, stared dumbfounded at the lightning ball that was growing larger and larger. How much powerful energy was contained within it?
Those dazzling flashes of lightning, each one could probably destroy a mountain peak?
This... Ego was so angry he almost wanted to curse. Who did he provoke?
Yes, he admitted, he came this time to find trouble with Yondu, but the premise was that this guy Yondu had abducted his son. Moreover, he only had a plan and hadn't made a move yet.
"Wait, I can explain, this is all a misunderstanding."
But the simple-minded Adam was naturally simple. Of course, putting it another way, was that he was missing a screw in his head.
Remembering the teachings of Big Brother Kane and Master Shadow Storm, he had no intention of holding back and continued to command the lightning ball to blast towards Ego.
Ego also went all out at this point. Although for him, as a Celestial member, as a posthumous child, he was an underdeveloped premature infant, but after devouring a planet's spirit, he instead took the planet as his main body, becoming an alternative existence different from the Celestials.
With the planet as his main body, after devouring a planet spirit condensed over billions of years, the vigor of his strength could be said to be unmatched even by ordinary skyfathers.
Although he was only a clone at this time, his energy was in no way inferior to that of ordinary deities.
Facing the lightning ball blasted by Adam, Ego also went all out at this point. He directly activated the seeds of two nearby habitable planets. A surge of vigorous strength instantly poured into his body.
As a premature Celestial member, Ego was a very ambitious person. He had always been implementing a plan, which was to sow seeds throughout the world.
Cough cough, it didn't mean the same thing as Earthlings understood 'sowing seeds throughout the world'. Ego searched the entire universe for suitable habitable planets and sowed seeds on the planets he favored.
These seeds would absorb the planet's energy and grow, finally plundering the entire planet bare, and the accumulated energy would then feedback to his main body. After Ego diligently sowed seeds for several thousand years, there were at least tens of thousands of habitable planets chosen by him throughout the entire universe where he had sown seeds. Once all these seeds germinated, Ego, who had devoured the energy of tens of thousands of habitable planets, his strength would instantly leap to become a God King ruling the universe.
For safety considerations, Ego was well-versed in the strategy of lying low. To prevent anyone from intervening, so Ego did not choose to devour these habitable planets one by one, but controlled the seeds to germinate simultaneously.
This way, even if someone discovered something was wrong and wanted to come out and stop him, but with tens of thousands of habitable planets erupting simultaneously, even if someone destroyed dozens or hundreds of seeds, the remaining habitable planets would still be enough for him to complete his grand plan.
It's just that this plan had a small flaw. The energy of tens of thousands of habitable planets gathered together. Even if Ego had extraordinary innate ability, he couldn't devour so much energy.
He needed a buffer zone, or rather, he needed to find a relay protector to help him share some of the pressure.
So for so many years, Ego also left seeds everywhere, cultivating descendants, wanting to cultivate one with his own bloodline who could withstand this immense energy, a descendant who could share the pressure for him.
He fathered several thousand descendants, experimented several thousand times. Unfortunately, none of those descendants could withstand this strength! Yondu was someone he once hired to help him find the descendants left on various planets and bring them to his main body planet.
But, after Yondu accepted a mission, he abducted one of his descendants, and that was the last remaining descendant who survived after his experiment failed so many years later.
This was also the reason Yondu came to Fallen Star. He needed that descendant, otherwise the plan would be delayed by decades again. A planet three light-years away from Fallen Star. The temperature here and oxygen content were similar to Earth's Cretaceous period. This was a heaven for reptilian creatures.
Some races resembling Earth snakes reproduced here. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, they developed their own Naga civilization.
On this day, the star in the sky cast scorching sunlight. Many Naga tribesmen habitually sunbathed outside. This was also an instinct for cold-blooded creatures.
Suddenly the great earth was in chaos. A spore plant rapidly expanded in the earth's core, penetrating the surface, rapidly growing on the surface at a geometric speed. In an instant, it grew to be even larger than the largest mountain range on this planet.
This spore plant continuously proliferated while devouring the life forms of the Naga planet. Correspondingly, on the Naga planet, the lush green plants withered and yellowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and withered. Rivers dried up, volcanoes extinguished. In the scorching environment, heavy snow fell, and the surface also cracked open with canyon-like fissures, presenting a scene of the end of the world.
And this scene also occurred on another planet half a light-year away from the Naga planet.
Ego, who had absorbed the energy of two full habitable planets, spread his energy arms. Countless energy surged out from his body, blasting towards Adam.
The purple lightning ball and the energy pillar lightly collided, and then both disappeared simultaneously. Then, in less than a thousandth of a second, a massive firelight exploded at high altitude.
The force of the explosion was like the detonation of the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba on Earth. Energy shockwaves shot out in all directions, instantly sweeping away everything around.
The shockwave swept upwards. Thousands of kilometers away, the warships docked at the spaceport were all shaking under this shockwave.
Fallen Star's buildings, even with the protection of the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation, some nearby buildings were also swept into disarray under the shockwave.
Adam, under this shockwave, couldn't stabilize his figure and was sent flying backward over ten thousand meters.
Similarly, Ego on the other side was also sent flying several thousand meters away by the shockwave generated by the explosion.
Adam looked at Ego, whose energy was surging and whose aura was several times stronger. Although he didn't know the reason for his sudden outburst, he was completely fearless.
He formed hand seals with his fingers, once again gathered the energy of the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation. For a moment, the sky was filled with multi-colored radiance. The multi-colored lightning balls the size of baskets in the sky once again converged. However, compared to before, the number of multi-colored lightning balls gathered this time was hundreds of times more. And on the other side, Ego, seeing this scene, also knew that the matters couldn't be settled peacefully. He, who had transformed into an energy body, streams of seemingly substantial energy glow around his entire body slowly erupted from his body. Heaven and earth were brilliantly illuminated.
Ego, enveloped in incredibly intense energy glow, at this moment was like a star emitting endless light and heat.
Black Bolt opened his mouth, and streams of sonic waves blasted towards Ego. Streams of electromagnetic attacks comparable to Fuel-Air Explosive (FAE) bombs blasted onto Ego's body. Apart from stirring up layers of ripples, they couldn't even cause him any damage.
However, Black Bolt's attack attracted Ego's attention. As Ego raised his hand, a brilliant energy wave instantly shot towards Black Bolt.
Black Bolt opened his mouth, and streams of sonic waves shot out. Two powerful energy waves collided. The resulting shockwave instantly swept outwards. However, Black Bolt did not possess Adam's powerful physical body.
Just as the intense energy shockwave was about to devour him, several golden figures appeared side by side in front of him, forcefully withstood this strike for him.
Looking at the many gold armored corpses blocking his path, Black Bolt glanced at the battlefield where Adam and Ego were clashing, knowing that he could only be a burden to Adam here. He turned and flew towards East Galaxy Company's building. Rumbling, the aftershocks of the clashing lightning and energy waves occasionally exploded above Fallen Star. At this time, on Fallen Star's surface, everyone was trembling, praying that the multi-colored barrier could hold up under this powerful shockwave, otherwise, once these impact aftershocks spread out, then this planet would be completely finished.
Under a toppled nest, no egg remains intact! Once the planet is shattered, they would definitely be finished as well.
Adam, however, became more and more excited as he fought. Getting into the fight, he even directly abandoned his human form and completely transformed into his Kui Ox true body. With a single roar, heaven and earth shook. His entire body also emitted light like the sun and moon. Adam in his Kui Ox true body state was even more adept at controlling the power of lightning. Not just lightning, under the energy instinct of controlling wind control and geomantic attributes contained within the Kui Ox bloodline, Adam had over a dozen tornadoes hundreds of meters thick swirling around his entire body, sweeping towards Ego following his low roar.
In the sky, the water attribute primordial energy gathered within the Five Elements Chaotic Sky Great Formation was commanded by Adam, transforming into dense water needles and ice mountains, shooting and smashing towards Ego. Compared to Adam's complex abilities, Ego's attack was very singular. Whether it was ice cubes the size of grinding mills, or the ice mountains as large as mountain peaks, or those fine water-blue water needles and ice needles, they were all completely destroyed by the energy waves enveloping his entire body. As for the dozen or so tornadoes that whistled towards him, capable of uprooting Galaxy World City, Ego didn't even look at them. The energy around his entire body wore down the tornadoes' wind force. His gaze remained fixed on the purple lightning light sphere condensed on the single horn on Adam's forehead.
The light sphere the size of a fist, however, gathered an energy that made his expression change.
Just as he had gathered most of his energy and was preparing to meet Adam's thunder strike, within the tornadoes he paid no mind to, a green figure suddenly lunged towards him.
This figure was like an incarnation of wind, silent wind. At the moment he lunged, the wind force of over a dozen tornadoes gathered around his entire body, transforming into a White Tiger phantom hundreds of miles tall.
White Tiger extends claws!
The green figure clawed towards Ego's back heart. That strike, mimicking a tiger claw, carrying a chilling cold light, directly tore open Ego's back heart. Ego's energy-gathered body was shattered like physical glass under this claw.
By the time Ego realized he was sneak attacked, his chest cavity had already been torn open, and half of his body had already been pulverized into dust. Ego quickly turned around, gathering a powerful energy wave and shooting it towards the figure behind him.
"Roar!"
A massive dragon head suddenly extended from the green figure's shoulder. The ferocious evil dragon swallowed Ego, along with the energy wave he emitted, in one gulp.
"Boom!"
After a violent explosion, the dragon head was blown to dust, smoking! Ego, with only his upper body remaining, had just escaped the dragon's mouth and stabilized his figure. Two dragon heads extended again, each biting half of his body, tearing in both directions. Ego gathered energy light spheres and blasted them towards the two dragon heads.
"Rip!"
An arm suddenly extended from his chest, tightly clutching a streaking light seed-like heart.
