Chapter 982: Showdown
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the dark side of a giant floating meteorite near Planet Blue Ray.
Numerous Blood Dragons surrounded the Blood Dragon Thearch.
Fang Yuan’s body had a layer of light, walking freely in the universe.
High-grade mechas had the ability of interstellar travel, let alone him at this time.
There was a dismembered black mecha below him. The Grand Arcanist in the cockpit was unconscious and pale.
“The Grand Arcanist sent by the military to assist the Blood Dragon research! Oris!” Fang Yuan said softly, and Oris opened his eyes, looking dazed.
He shot light from his eyes into Oris’s without hesitation.
The power of a Demon God was not something that a mere low-level Grand Arcanist could resist. Fang Yuan immediately acquired a large portion of his memories.
He was about to lay his hands on the secrets of the arcane spell models and specialized knowledge when a layer of security appeared.
“Major Chiliocosm Illusion Art, cast illusions!”
Fang Yuan did not even need to think, directly using this illusion technique and exerting a power that the original owner could never have imagined.
He transformed into Oris himself the moment his sea of consciousness invaded Oris’s spiritual will.
Obviously, these defenses and restrictions could not possibly go against Oris himself. Fang Yuan went in with ease and obtained a lot of knowledge.
“Level ten arcane spell, Dead Soul Appendage! So Oris is an Arcanist whose focus is in necromancy… Not that it matters. I can master all Arcane attributes!”
How abundant would the arcane spells of a Grand Arcanist be?
In that instant, Fang Yuan acquired a large amount of high-level arcane spells, including some of the most advanced research in the necromancy field.
All of which were the results of the combined efforts from geniuses and forces. Oris redeemed them for who knows how much, but in the end, Fang Yuan got them all for cheap.
“Level eleven arcane spell, Summon Zombies!”
“Level twelve arcane spell, Corpse Explosion!”
…
“And finally, legendary arcane spells, Undead Calamity! Summon Monarch of Death!”
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged. With the aid from the intrinsic quality of a Demon God, the psyche of a cultivator, and the Arcane Smart-Brain, he increased his Arcanist levels at an astonishing speed.
It did not take long before there were only two last legendary arcane spells.
“As long as I can analyze the models, I can almost be considered a Grand Arcanist… Although I didn’t go through the perfect lich ritual…”
The Western liches were vessels of energy, similar to the Eastern Undead Immortals.
However, Fang Yuan’s Demon God body was the strongest vessel of all, so how could he possibly give it up?
“The difficulty of the arcane spell models naturally increases after entering the legendary level. To me, however, it’s just a matter of a dozen days!”
Fang Yuan got up and brushed his shirt.
At this point, he was already a level twenty Arcanist and only one step away from Legend, yet he had used less than half a day!
The intrinsic quality of a Demon God and concurrently practicing the Arcane and cultivation was just that terrifying!
“It’s time to return to Planet Blue Ray. Xiao Hongyue should have sent news about me out by now, right?”
Fang Yuan could not help but smile as he toyed with that thought.
Regarding the study of human nature, almost no Demon God could surpass him. He had already guessed Xiao Hongyue’s reaction when he met her.
He wanted this to happen.
Now that the Abominable Lord had joined the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance, and they had found each other, what was left was a battle to the death.
It was necessary to draw the support of the Human Alliance.
At least, they could start the conversation… with his original identity!
Even if his identity was exposed, it was not a matter of concern to him now.
…
“Where were you, Lin Meng? Why couldn’t I contact you?”
A bunch of communication requests glared at him when he reached Planet Blue Ray. After connecting, Xiao Hongyue’s anxious voice came through.
“It’s all right. I just took a rest!” Fang Yuan replied casually, which further strengthened Xiao Hongyue’s speculation.
She took a deep breath and asked tentatively, “Have you… prepared to leave? I want to meet you before you leave. There’s something I have to tell you!”
“No problem. Let’s meet at Cat Eye Cafe on Moon Street!”
Xiao Hongyue replied immediately, “Sure, I’ll get going now!”
After she hung up, she looked toward her side, at her father. “Dad, promise me you won’t do anything to him. Besides… there’s no evidence that Lin Meng did something bad!”
“I know. We’re going there to protect him. Rest assured!”
Her father’s eyes flashed. “Good daughter, now set out and try to make him stay. Take the initiative to persuade him to cooperate with the government…”
It was a secret that Lin Meng had played a decisive role in the improvement of the high-tier brain development drug. However, even the most advanced security measures were not foolproof.
East Dragon University had suffered heavy losses and was on the verge of annihilation, causing the hearts of many to itch.
Here, Xiao Hongyue’s father represented a force in the government, ready to compete with the military and East Dragon University for talents.
…
“Sir, your coffee!”
At the Cat Eye Cafe, the waitress in a maid uniform smiled sweetly as she poured a cup of coffee for Fang Yuan. She peeped at Fang Yuan unconsciously when she took the tray away.
Lin Meng was not handsome, but he had a unique temperament, fresh and refined, making him unforgettable.
“Teacher Hongyue, here!”
The glass revolving door opened, and Xiao Hongyue entered. Fang Yuan beckoned to her.
“Lin Meng!” Xiao Hongyue sat opposite him with a complicated look. “Sorry…”
“No need. I can guess some of it!” Fang Yuan’s gaze swept the place. “This doesn’t concern you. Let’s get someone who can explain it well to come forward instead!”
“Good! Mr. Lin is a straightforward person!” Father Xiao stood up from the adjacent seat. “Let me introduce my humble self. I’m Xiao Yuanfeng, director of the second division of the Alliance’s secret service!”
The surrounding waiters, laid-back lovers, and single clients stood up as he spoke, all having serious expressions.
Fang Yuan took a sip and said with a smile, “Hmm, I didn’t expect the secret service to be able to make such good coffee!”
“You can taste it every day if you like it, Mr. Lin!” Xiao Yuanfeng stepped forward and gave a ninety-degree bow. “Mr. Lin, your ability is obvious to all. On behalf of the Alliance, I would now like to sincerely invite you to join the Materia Medica Laboratory. Please tell us any conditions you may have, and we’ll be sure to meet them!”
“I originally thought you’d be here representing East Dragon University, but now… faction struggles? You’re still doing this at this time. I’m feeling even more pessimistic about the war to come!” Fang Yuan sighed.
“Righteous people don’t speak with hidden meanings!” Xiao Yuanfeng straightened up. “You must have caused some trouble since you fled from Planet East Dragon. Also, do you know that the military is already aware that you’re here and has sent people over. Wu Wudi is leading them!”
He smiled confidently, as though everything was in his grasp. “You’ve already offended two of the three biggest camps in the Human Alliance. Who else can you join but us?”
“Wu Wudi? That kid is still alive? He really has the life of a cockroach!” Fang Yuan shook his head nonetheless. “I still have to reject!”
“What?” The veins on Xiao Yuanfeng’s forehead popped up. “I hope you can seriously reconsider!”
“Father!” Xiao Hongyue shouted by the side. Xiao Yuanfeng waved his hand, and someone immediately came to take her away.
“I’ve considered it. I can only say that you aren’t qualified. No! Even East Dragon University and the military outside are not qualified!” Fang Yuan shook his head. “Only the entire Human Alliance is fit to cooperate with me!”
“Such arrogance!” Xiao Yuanfeng frowned and doubled back suddenly. “What did you say? The military outside?”
Rumble!
The tightly shut door boomed open, and shards of glass flew in the air.
“It’s you, Wu Wudi!” Xiao Yuanfeng and his group quickly drew their guns. “How dare you violate the laws of the Alliance and use spiritual techniques to destroy public property!”
“I’m a special envoy from the military now. I have immunity!”
Wu Wudi did not even look at them, as though they were a bunch of ants. His eyes only had Fang Yuan. “Lin Meng, I seemed to have belittled you! But now, you are suspected of stealing classified military information, and the military court has approved of your arrest. This is the arrest warrant!”
He smirked as he took out the warrant.
Xiao Yuanfeng’s face was now ashen. He knew he could not supersede with his authority.
“If you resist, I can kill you immediately!” Wu Wudi stepped forward with the glee of revenge. “So? Desperate? You are nothing more an ant in front of me!”
“I thought you’d be more subdued after losing the Blood Dragon Emperor…” Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The ground trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
Huge potholes started appearing around the cafe.
Blood Dragons started climbing out of them and then lifted the cafe’s ceiling!
Crash!
Dust flew, and light poured in.
“This…”
Wu Wudi stopped in his tracks, and Xiao Yuanfeng was dumbfounded.
Xiao Hongyue and the rest were so shocked that they could not even get a single word out.
Like ancient giants, a dozen mechas surrounded the cafe.
The fierce dragon patterns and the blood-red armor seemed very familiar.
“The Blood Dragons!”
Wu Wudi spit the words out one-by-one. He did not run, knowing that he could not escape under such a siege. This was a power that could destroy a planet!
“So… the one who stole the Blood Dragon Emperor was you!!!”
He looked at Fang Yuan’s unchanging expression with a sinking heart.
