Putting on a Show of Force
The moment after the Monata was seen to be split in two by the indigo sword light, the explosion and flames followed.
Gazing at this "splendid firework" formed by the pride of the Mona people, the white-robed Mona people collapsed to the ground, completely petrified.
In fact, in their mythology, Monata is somewhat similar to the Tower of Babel in human religious stories.
The difference lies in the fact that the latter built the Tower of Babel because humanity wanted to challenge divine authority, while in the mythology of the Mona people, they built the Mona Tower to meet the great gods.
Of course, when the Mona people entered the interstellar age, they named their first interstellar warship, which used a warp drive, the Monata. This was not to meet the gods, but rather a beautiful expectation.
With the advancement of technology, the Mona people naturally increased their investment in interstellar colonization, building more interstellar warships equipped with warp drives.
Now, the Monata is more symbolic than practical.
If that were all, the white-robed Mona people before him, while still shocked by the power Lu Bai displayed, would certainly not have fallen to such a state of utter confusion.
The reason for this is that the Mona people currently only have one interstellar warship deployed near Earth, the Monata.
After all, with the various weapons carried by the Monata, it is theoretically capable of suppressing all of humanity on Earth, with spare capacity.
In this situation, there is naturally no need to deploy more forces to Earth.
Who would have thought that such a freak as Lu Bai would suddenly emerge from among humanity, actually managing to withstand the Monata's attack head-on and even destroy the Monata on the spot.
The vastness of the astronomical scale needs no further explanation.
Even with warp drive technology, it would still take the Mona people some time to mobilize other starships to Earth.
This means that during this period, the Mona people will completely lose control of the Earth.
Not to mention, given Lu Bai's demonstrated abilities, the white-robed Mona people had absolutely no idea that Lu Bai would choose to spend this time quietly.
After a long pause, Mona people, dressed in white, finally came to his senses.
Although he wasn't physically present and didn't need to worry about his life, given the appalling state of affairs, he seriously suspected that even if he could return to Mona Star, he would still end up in the Provisional Colonial Court.
Most importantly, he still doesn't know exactly what he did wrong.
After confirming that a new deathmatch fighter had emerged in the Deathmatch System's leaderboard, they immediately launched an investigation, quickly located Lu Bai, and dispatched patrols to the Underground City to eliminate him before he was killed.
It must be admitted that the Mona people, who are responsible for monitoring the human situation, are not slow to react.
Ultimately, it was because Lu Bai's progress was simply too fast to be true.
In less than six months, they rapidly evolved from the bottom of a fighting school to a monster that left them helpless.
In such a short time, most of the formal deathmatch fighters haven't even had a single Deathmatch Showdown yet.
"You win."
The white-robed Mona people looked at Lu Bai, who was lying flat on the ground, with venomous eyes. "But you shouldn't have done that. You have no idea what kind of being you have angered."
Lu Bai ignored the harsh words spoken by the white-robed Mona people.
To ensure nothing went wrong, he had used every ounce of his strength to unleash this ranged attack.
Exhausted, he lay flat on the ground, motionless.
He didn't even have the strength to speak; only the rise and fall of his chest with each breath proved he was still alive.
However, even though Lu Bai now looks so weak that it seems like any random knife could chop off his head.
Neither the local Spokesperson and their underlings present, nor the white-robed Mona people who had not suffered any real damage, dared to attempt such a thing.
Those present had mixed feelings; they didn't know whether to stand or sit, and could only watch Lu Bai helplessly.
Especially the local Spokesperson, who had just spent half the day flattering the Mona people, were now faced with this situation and were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say.
It's worth mentioning that Brother Biao, who had previously been the most obsequious to the white-robed Mona people, really didn't expect the situation to take such a dramatic turn, and was now beaming with joy.
In his view, he could at least be considered to have one foot on Lu Bai's side.
Even if we don't say that one person's success brings benefits to their entire family, their life will certainly be saved.
Brother Biao completely ignored the almost fiery gaze of the white-robed Mona people and squatted down next to Lu Bai as if no one else was there.
While enthusiastically pounding Lu Bai's thigh, he praised Lu Bai's performance with a beaming smile. The whole process was not exaggerated at all, and it was so skillful that it seemed as if he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind.
Unfortunately, Lu Bai, who maintained his Steel Body, couldn't feel Brother Biao's strength at all.
After regaining some strength, Lu Bai turned his head towards the white-robed Mona people and sincerely asked, "If you're not planning to commit suicide, would you like to talk to me some more?"
This sincere attitude, however, completely broke the silence of the white-robed Mona people.
Unable to bear staying any longer, the white-robed Mona people finally abandoned his physical body. As if losing all willpower, he collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless.
Without needing Lu Bai's reminder, Brother Biao, with his keen insight, took the initiative to go and check the situation.
After confirming that the body had no vital signs, he pulled out a small knife from somewhere and slashed at the white-robed Mona people's corpse a few times, making it look like the crime scene of some kind of deranged killer.
"Boss, he's really dead this time."
After about half a day of rest, Lu Bai's stamina bar was almost fully restored.
However, he did not relax; the [Steel Body] ability remained activated.
After all, the white-robed Mona people had not revealed this information, and Lu Bai was unaware that his Flying Slash had destroyed the only interstellar warship the Mona people had deployed on Earth.
Having witnessed the Mona people's incredibly powerful and almost bizarre technological capabilities, he dared not let his guard down.
"How many Mona people are there in the world right now? Does anyone know? Please raise your hand to answer."
Lu Bai sat upright on a hillside. Before him, the Spokesperson of the nine settlements all stood obediently like well-behaved children, afraid of displeasing him.
Unfortunately, his question was far beyond the scope of what these local Spokesperson were capable of.
From beginning to end, they only had contact with the white-robed Mona people. Apart from coming here to report the situation, the white-robed Mona people didn't even allow them to go out and explore. The information they knew was by no means much more than that of Lu Bai.
