A Fierce Battle with Sailianna

Inside the Scarlet Peak building of the Machine-Slaying Federation.

Lilina hurried into the parliamentary court, where she saw Lister holding a meeting with several federal executive officials.

Seeing this, Lilina simply walked to Lister's side, intending to whisper in his ear to inform him.

He was interrupted by Lister waving his hand.

"Is it about the Emerald Royal Court? Just tell me."

"Sir, Intelligence Agency indicates that the Emerald Royal Court's army has invaded the Twilight Galaxy."

"According to Kavin's special alarm system, three of the visitors are World-Ending Level experts."

After saying that, Lilina left the house.

"Three world -World Annihilation powerhouses?"

Quint looked somewhat surprised at his position, his brow furrowing as he began to ponder.

"Could it be that, apart from Sailianna, the entire Emerald Royal Court has sent troops this time?"

From the son of a duchy to the current administrative leader of a superpower.

Quint's path is one that even he considers legendary.

Thanks to his decent talent for cultivation, even though cultivation has long been relegated to a secondary position, his level is not lagging behind due to the accumulation of various resources.

I have now entered the Fourth Advancement stage, level 19.

From a purely life perspective, he has a long time ahead of him in this administrative leadership role.

"I just received news from Arkas that Aiwei Yongcui has appeared at Crimson Covenant."

After Lister finished speaking, Quint's expression grew even more serious.

"Could it be that among them are World Annihilation powerhouses from the Spirit Remains Star Abyss or the Eternal Night?"

I reckon it was Sailianna herself who came.

Lister remained quite calm about things that Quint dared not or did not want to think about.

He made Wang Yue appear in the Void Corridor in order to force the members of the Emerald Royal Court to show themselves.

The Emerald Royal Court waited for hundreds of years, making almost no move.

Even though he believed his current strength was no less than Sailianna's, he was still wary of her strategic tactics.

An action that has been accumulated and planned over hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

Rather than waiting for the other party to be ready and strike at the right moment, it's better to proactively provoke them into making a move ahead of time.

On the one hand, it can disrupt the layout of the Emerald Royal Court.

On the other hand, even if he suffers some losses in this premature battle, it will not affect the fate of the Seed of Eternity after its birth.

For this reason, he had been hiding in the forbidden zone of this First Governing Star for several years.

The goal is to get the other party to take the bait and show their face.

Wang Yue's special talent has always been a trump card for him.

Especially since this was the first time it was used, Emerald Royal Court had no choice but to take the bait.

Such a golden opportunity, even if they thought Lister had an ambush in the Machine-Slaying Federation, the other side wouldn't take it seriously.

It's even more likely that Sailianna will come in person to remove any possible defenses he might have.

In any case, the Emerald Royal Court itself doesn't need to protect anything.

As the group was communicating, they noticed that the projector in the center of the council chamber had been turned on.

In the holographic image, the emerald torrent of the Emerald Royal Court directly broke through the Twilight Galaxy's army's interception.

They did not linger in the Twilight Galaxy, but headed straight for the Babylon Galaxy.

It seems their first target this time is Kavin.

This was exactly what Lister had anticipated.

With Kavin dead, the remaining Hegemon of the Machine-Slaying Federation are utterly powerless to resist.

The entire Federation's power could change hands, at least in the short term. The initiative would be in the hands of the Emerald Royal Court, and the same would be true for the Seed of Eternity.

"Quint, all the teleportation arrays are open for free. You can arrange the transfer of ordinary citizens."

"Try to reach the outer star systems; emergency mobilization must begin immediately."

This operation will inevitably take place in the core star system.

Prior to this, Lister had already relocated a group of citizens and also restricted the entry of citizens from the core star system.

The battle has now begun to further protect ordinary citizens.

Quint was a political savvy man, and he also possessed a natural talent for various command and logistical tasks.

Now, most of Lister's government affairs in the Federation are handled by Quint, which makes his job much easier.

Three auras, capable of tearing through the starry sea, suddenly descended upon the core territory of the Machine-Slaying Federation —the outer reaches of the Babylon Galaxy.

A torrent of emerald green water instantly swept across the warning stargate outside the galaxy.

There were no words, no declarations, only the purest will to invade.

Sailianna, Varalos Yongcui, Aiselyn Yongcui.

Three heavyweight world- World Annihilation powerhouses from the Emerald Royal Court, wielding an aura powerful enough to suffocate ordinary star systems, rushed straight towards the core star system of the Machine-Slaying Federation.

Their goal was clear: to defeat the only remaining survivor, theoretically the weakest mechanical-type character in the world's World Annihilation Kavin Deer, in one fell swoop, and to attempt to intercept key location information about the Seed of Eternity!

"Buzz--!"

Almost at the same moment they appeared, the Babylon Galaxy's defense system also activated.

It was not the array weapon as expected, but rather a far more significant change that arose under an incredibly precise and coordinated command.

"Warning! Ultra-high energy level spatial perturbation detected! Warning! Core galaxy configuration shift!"

Kavin's cold, emotionless voice echoed chillily across the entire galaxy's public channel:

"Activate the Star Machine Civilization Legacy, 'Ultimate War' Defense Protocol."

"Number of planets ready: 1,332,234, linked and anchored."

The number of planets ready in the system is still increasing rapidly.

The mechanical planets, which had been relocated back to the Babylon Galaxy by Kavin and were originally scattered in various orbits, suddenly burst forth with dazzling energy.

An invisible resonant energy field spreads out at the speed of light!

As if the mechanisms of a giant god had been activated in an instant, these enormous mechanical planetary bodies suddenly deformed, moved, and snapped together!

The swarms of nanobugs on the surface of the mechanical planet writhe wildly, constructing massive energy receiving and amplification nodes.

Countless thick plasma energy channels appeared out of thin air.

In just a few seconds, a colossal mechanical war fortress, composed of hundreds of millions of mechanized planets with Twist and intricate structure and full of multidimensional geometric beauty, was assembled right in front of the three members of the Emerald Royal Court.

"These are the planetary relics that Lister and his men dragged down from the Star Machine Civilization?"

Aiselyn looked at the giant fortress in front of her with some curiosity.

The ultimate secret and trump card of the Star Machine Civilization has unexpectedly fallen into the hands of others.

However, these sophisticated and massive war machines did not attract the attention of the three.

"It's just a mere lump of iron from a Star Machine Civilization; it's actually a concept left over from ancient machines."

"I didn't expect the Star Machine Civilization to actually achieve that, but it's nothing special."

Varalos explained to Aiselyn, his voice tinged with sarcasm.

After all, the Ancient Machine Civilization had long been extinct, and the Star Machine Civilization was destroyed by the Machine-Slaying Federation.

What fighting power could those mere relics of their civilization possibly possess!

After saying that, he nodded to Sailianna.

The unique inscriptions of the Emerald Royal Court lit up on his body, and ancient wood-like armor materialized on him.

With a roar, it charged straight at the war machine.

Behind Varalos, countless emerald green, living giant tree-like energy Phantoms appeared.

As his figure filled the entire space, all the branches became like the sharpest spears, fiercely piercing the war machine.

"Sizzle--Boom!!"

A torrent of energy, powerful enough to pierce the very core of a planet, crashed against the fortress's smooth geometric surface.

The anticipated tearing explosion did not occur.

A torrent of purplish-black energy flowed rapidly across the surface of the fortress-like structure. Countless nanomechanical units were instantly sacrificed and evaporated at the point of impact, but the structure of the later layers was quickly repaired by the replenishment of purplish-gold energy.

At the same time, dark purple "Star Core Disintegration Rays " shot out like a torrential rain from the hundreds of facets of the geometric megastructure facing Varalos, precisely sweeping away and intercepting the torrents of giant trees and vines.

The green and purple energies collided and then separated.

It was a simple test, and neither side suffered much harm.

However, in terms of sheer numbers, Kavin actually won.

After all, they are only at the 21st rank. Under the same World-Ending Level, the difference of three ranks will further widen the gap in strength.

But they can still put up a tough fight against Varalos.

Instantly, Varalos's face showed a hint of anger, but at the same time, a sense of understanding dawned on him.

As expected! Lister couldn't have gone to the Void Corridor without a backup plan.

Kavin's strength is indeed somewhat unexpected.

But to think you can stop them based on that alone is simply wishful thinking.

At that moment, Aiselyn followed closely behind, her life energy transforming into a longbow which she drew back sharply.

An energy arrow, imbued with immense life laws, locked onto the core energy node of the geometric megastructure!

"Bloom!"

Once the emerald green arrow was shot, it seemed to disregard space.

It emerged straight from the core of the megastructure, just as the arrow was about to pierce it.

The main structure of the geometric megastructure deflects at an angle that exceeds mechanical limits.

At the same time, a purple energy emanating from another hidden facet transformed into the effect of a "gravity well," altering the trajectory of the arrow.

The arrow grazed the fortress and exploded in the distant starry sky.

Countless native planets and nebulae were instantly annihilated, and the intense light of the energy was extremely dazzling.

Upon seeing this, Varalos's aura began to intensify further.

However, before he could make a move, Sailianna, who had only intended to watch, took action!

For the sake of the Seed of Eternity, this battle cannot be dragged on any longer.

At that moment, his gaze pierced through the mechanical fortress and landed directly on Kavin.

In an instant, Kavin was enveloped and locked in by a powerful pressure.

A Wither force, seemingly originating from the very beginning of the universe, condensed at her fingertips.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a strange beam of light, almost transparent, carrying both boundless vitality and ultimate decay, silently pierced through space and struck Kavin.

A golden data shield immediately appeared around Kavin.

Unfortunately, the shield, which could always block any attack and learn to strengthen its defense based on the attacks it received, was rendered useless this time.

The moment the transparent energy touched his body, Kavin felt his life force rapidly draining away.

This energy drains them, even their lifespan is drained away.

His aura weakened rapidly, leaving him with no means of resistance.

Fortunately, at that moment, a scarlet crystal of killing intent suddenly condensed on Kavin's body.

Aiselyn and Varalos's expressions immediately changed.

A more pure and extreme Killing Intent Wave could be seen spreading into this star field from afar.

The extreme killing intent and the oppressive aura were so intense that even just sensing them brought a stinging pain to the soul.

In an instant, their expressions changed drastically, and they both looked in the direction from which the aura was coming from.

Before the two could even sense it, Lister's figure suddenly appeared in front of Kavin.

The power of Wither acted directly on him.

"Attacked: Affected by the power of Wither, Robust Soul, Merrick Saber Technique, Resolute Heart... have taken effect, immune to 98.19%, health -10191, -12041,..."

The power of Wither is essentially a force of decay affecting the soul.

Lister's spiritual strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. Even Sailianna, who is vaguely recognized as the second strongest in the universe, cannot compete with him in terms of spiritual strength.

This powerful true damage, the ability to strip away lifespan and life itself, seemed like a mere tickle to Lister.

At the same time, a fierce Fighting Spirit was ignited within him.

A gigantic Phantom, far exceeding expectations and almost as tall as Kavin's mechanical fortress, emerged behind Lister, purely formed from crimson killing intent.

Since the Battle Intent Eruption has not yet been unleashed, the Saber Soul cannot be activated.

But the Phantom of murderous intent also instilled a tremendous sense of awe.

Of course, all of this was secondary in the eyes of Aiselyn and the others. The mere sight of Lister appearing on the battlefield was enough to shock them!

"Lister!!"

"You... how could you be here? Shouldn't you be in... the Void Corridor!?"

Varalos stared at Lister in disbelief.

This chilling, extreme killing intent, that sharp edge emanating from the very soul.

The oppressive feeling emanating from the enormous, murderous Phantom behind him was so real, so vivid.

This must be Lister without a doubt.

Given this, my first thought was that the battle in the Void Corridor might be over.

But in the next instant, he dismissed this conjecture.

How could the struggle between the four World Annihilation end so easily?

In particular, the distance between the Void Corridor Machine-Slaying Federation is far greater than the distance between them Emerald Royal Court.

For a moment, immense confusion arose in the minds of the three World Annihilation of the Emerald Royal Court.

However, before the three could think further...

Lister unleashed his full power with a single, decisive strike.

The Phantom behind him also unleashed a slash, and the immense killing intent emanating from the Phantom immediately merged with the blade light slashed by Lister.

This chilling blade of light even Sailianna unable to remain calm, causing her to frown for the first time.

The Wither power that had been continuously affecting Kavin was immediately canceled out, and instead it was aimed at the blade's edge.

The Wither power caused the speed of the blade's edge to decrease visibly.

Countless roots began to spread from beneath its feet, rapidly entangling and wrapping around the blade's edge.

Unfortunately, although the speed of the slashing blade was limited, it was still not something that mere roots could block.

Even though the power of the blade's aura was eventually exhausted by the power of Wither, Sailianna still felt a sharp pain on her face.

Lister's sword strikes were never limited to external objects.

The true essence lies in severing the soul with a knife.

With such a powerful soul, even Sailianna, the universally acknowledged second strongest being in the universe, could not stop his blade.

There's no other way but to fight him head-on!
