Chapter 227
"Recognize your own insignificance, you mere specks of dust, showing off your petty cleverness. Even if tiny insects swarm together, they cannot touch the might of Heaven!"
The initial attack of the God Strike terrified both the Goblin Race and Forest Elf Race fleets.
Even though they created many weapons with the God of War as their hypothetical enemy, they only realized how terrifying the God of War was when they faced his attacks directly.
On one side, the full spell of [Void Zeroth Protection] was being unleashed.
On one side, the full-scale launch of the Marrow Blast missile was underway.
Several Dragon Race even sacrificed their lives to unleash a "Collapse Roar" to join in the fun.
And the target of all the attacks was the descending... [God Strike]!
The God of War Alutheus, unleashed his ultimate attack using the Winged Race as a medium!
But even with the power of all those attacks, nothing could stop Alutheus's God Strike. As a war god capable of easily ending this war, his power was unmatched!
This creates a special situation—all the energy collides and converges, becoming the light that proclaims the Destruction of this world.
A massive fireball, as large as the sun, is gradually falling from the sky...
If this giant fireball were to collide with the ground, the entire planet would be destroyed.
"So what the hell are you thinking? Why won't you let the Ex Machina Race implement traffic control? If this attack lands on the ground, it could Destruction the world. Are you really that confident in yourself?" Gibril said to Chen Li with a complex and incomprehensible expression.
Gibril's feelings were so complicated at this moment. On the one hand, it was because Chen Li rejected Riku's proposal and said that he could provide Riku with a strike that could penetrate the planet without consuming Ex Machina Race.
In Chen Li's words, if the Ex Machina Race had sacrificed itself before he came to this world, and the Ex Machina Race had sacrificed itself after he came to this world, then wouldn't he have come for nothing?
Although it is possible to use Revival Artifacts to revive the Ex Machina Race, it would take ten days to half a month if you were unlucky and wanted these thousands of Ex Machina Race to win the Revival Match.
However, Chen Li didn't have that much time.
If the Ex Machina Race die and don't revive, then it's not a perfect ending.
Chen Li muttered incomprehensible words before firmly rejecting all of the suggestions from the Ex Machina Race and Riku regarding this matter.
On the other hand... Gibril's complicated feelings are also due to the current situation the two of them are in.
There's a saying that goes, "Under the God Strike, all are but ants."
But there's also a saying, "Everyone under the God Strike is a loli."
When Gibril unleashes her Sky Strike, she turns into a loli due to energy depletion. When Alutheus uses the entire Winged Race as a medium to unleash his God Strike, he turns the entire Winged Race into lolis, which is the weakest stage of the Winged Race.
If other races were to break into the fortress at this time and massacre the Winged Race, more than half of the Winged Race would be unable to put up a fight.
At this moment, Chen Li blended in with a group of lolis without looking out of place.
Because of Chen Li 'Chen Li location, he was able to experience the power of the god who could be called the "strongest" in this world up close!
Chen Li's assessment was... very strong, but not as nutritious as "Nihility".
"I know this power will Destruction the world if left unchecked, but you can trust me to handle things." Chen Li gave a thumbs up, then continued running to each of the Winged Race Lolis and began plucking their feathers.
The Winged Race was unable to resist Chen Li due to energy depletion, and since they also considered Chen Li to be on "our" side, they did not resist him much.
Gibril couldn't understand Chen Li's power at all.
How did you, a guy who doesn't have any of the characteristics of the Winged Race, manage to blend into the Winged Race camp without any sense of incongruity?
"I'm so tired. Forget it, I'm going to Deliverance. Gibril, could you help me brush the fur off these little girls? This might be my dinner tonight."
"Ah, me?" Gibril had just infiltrated the Winged Race's camp and unleashed Sky Strike once, but Chen Li had recreated the state where she hadn't used Sky Strike.
Therefore, Gibril can be said to be the most powerful fighter among the Winged Race.
"They are all my siblings, my dearest friends and family!" Gibril said with some resistance.
"Oh, then I'll have stewed mushrooms with Jibril for dinner tonight." Chen Li looked at Gibril and licked his lips.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Sensing the Voracity aura emanating from Chen Li once again, Gibril immediately covered her head and admitted her mistake.
Chen Li walked to the edge of the fortress, watched the sun gradually setting towards the earth, and threw the golden ball of light in his hand.
"Go, my Friends Circle! Wojian your limits! Let the world witness the power of Bonds!"
Under Chen Li's powerful throw, the Friends Circle turned into a shooting star and crashed hard into the sun.
The Friends Circle expanded rapidly, until it covered the entire sun.
Countless people were baffled by the sudden appearance of the protective shield that enveloped the combined attack.
However, after the "joint attack" was enveloped by the shield, the Destruction force did not continue to scorch the earth and destroy the planet, which relieved everyone.
This shield can isolate the effects of this artificial sun!
"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers.
Driven by the buzz from Friends Circle, the originally enormous artificial sun flew toward Chen Li, shrinking as it flew.
This isn't the first time Chen Li has used his Friends Circle as a container for energy attacks.
Chen Li even used this method to devour the Glance of the Equilibrium Aeon.
When the Friends Circle returned to Chen Li's hands, the Friends Circle and the sun within it had shrunk to the size of a fist.
This is... a blow powerful enough to kill a god and destroy a planet!
It was an energy storm generated by the convergence of 18 Void Zeroth Protection, 12 Marrow Blast, 8 Collapse Roars, and God Strike. Chen Li already had a brilliant idea on how to use this attack to penetrate the planet!
"Chen Li, do you mean you've always thought I'm skillful, so you're planning to ask me to roll this lump of clay into an arrow?" Haruhi Suzumiya took the Friends Circle from Chen Li, opened Friends Circle, and poked at the lump of clay that was emitting a red glow and looked extraordinary.
It was just a little bit hot, like a freshly baked flatbread.
"That's right, you're the only one I can ask for help! The one and only Haruhi Suzumiya." Chen Li nodded firmly.
Chen Li was initially skeptical about whether Haruhi Suzumiya could actually turn this god-slaying attack into clay, but as it turns out, Haruhi Suzumiya's potential is beyond imagination.
"Sure, sure, what's this for?" Taking the gloves that Chen Li handed her, which were supposed to increase finger precision and also serve as heat insulation, Haruhi Suzumiya asked as she began to roll arrows out of the clay.
Chen Li provides payment, Haruhi Suzumiya contributes physical labor; it's a fair and reasonable exchange.
"You might not believe it, but this clay was originally an artificial sun, a sun powerful enough to Destruction a planet. But I used Miraculous Item to turn it into clay. Its essence hasn't changed, but its malleability has increased. I turned it into arrows to pierce through planets and Deliverance," Chen Li said. "Oh," Haruhi Suzumiya didn't react in any particular way.
Isn't it just a blow that can Destruction a planet?
If Chen Li can even eat Aeon who can destroy a galaxy with a wave of his hand, what's so strange about him turning an artificial sun into putty?
If we had to get Haruhi Suzumiya's opinion, it would only be: As expected of Miraculous Forger, she's amazing!
If Chen Li knew what Haruhi Suzumiya was thinking, he would definitely say, "Same here."
"... Alright." Haruhi Suzumiya shaped the artificial sun into a straight arrow and handed it back to Chen Li.
The glove in Haruhi Suzumiya's hand is a Teigu given to Chen Li by Najenda from the world of Akame ga Kill!!. Imperial Arms God's Hand Perfector, a glove-type Imperial Arms that can induce precise movements of the fingers hundreds of times more, making it easy to create various intricate weapons and also to heal the human body.
"Thank you for your trouble. As expected of the captain, you are truly skillful." Chen Li nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the arrow.
"No need to be so polite. Speaking of which, have you been doing anything fun lately? I heard you all went to the Honkai world for a team building activity." Haruhi Suzumiya inquired about information from Chen Li.
"That's right. But you can't go to the Honkai world, because your physical condition is not very good. You don't have Honkai energy resistance and are easily corrupted. But after I create a Miraculous Item and give you a Stigmata, you can go to the Honkai world to play."
"Sigh, compared to you all, I am indeed weak, pitiful, and helpless... When will I be able to punch the Aeon and kick the Emanator?" Haruhi Suzumiya sighed.
"That day will come. There are quite a few magical items obtained through the Starstones lottery that can be used to strengthen myself. Alright, I'm going to Deliverance now." Having achieved his goal, Chen Li handed over 50 Starstones to Haruhi Suzumiya and then took his leave.
The Haruhi Suzumiya is really useful, I'll definitely use it again next time.
"Starstones are so easy to earn, not at all as difficult as Yakumo Yukari said." Haruhi Suzumiya tossed a bag of Starstones in her hand.
"You mean, this arrow is the energy storm that could Destruction the world just now?" Holding the slightly hot arrow, Riku was deeply shocked.
As expected of Miraculous Forger, he's truly remarkable.
A power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
"That's right. And once you shoot this arrow, it will regain its original power and help you pierce through the planet." Chen Li nodded.
The reason why the arrow made from that energy storm was slightly hot was mainly because the artificial sun's appearance was still too bright, making it feel hot at first glance. Otherwise, after Haruhi Suzumiya's treatment, the arrow should have been at a normal temperature.
Haruhi Suzumiya is like this: don't tell me what you think, tell me what she thinks.
"I'm ready." Even someone as rational as Riku couldn't help but feel his emotions fluctuating when faced with such a crucial moment.
"No, you're not ready. Although the God of War is only 20% as strong as before after using God Strike, if you were to traverse the planet now, there's still a 52% chance that the Star Cup would appear before him, because he is the strongest." Chen Li shook his head and then reached out to take the arrow from Riku's hand.
"Snap!" Chen Li bit off 1/5 of the arrow in one bite.
"Uh, do you think doing this will guarantee that the Star Cup will appear 100% of the time?" Although Riku didn't understand Chen Li's behavior, Riku respected it and felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Riku had also learned from the Connected Entity Einz that the Star Cup might appear before the God of War.
If there were no other way out, the Ex Machina Race wouldn't mind using the full power of their race to slaughter the Winged Race and defeat the God of War to prevent any exceptions. But now, isn't there still the option of Chen Li?
So the Ex Machina Race told the truth.
They also stated that if necessary Ex Machina Race would not mind killing a god again.
While a fully-powered War God Ex Machina Race might be outmatched, if the entire Ex Machina Race remains in its complete form, and Divine Emissary God Strike, it would still be able to put up a fight.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm just really craving something and want to try the taste of the Starburst Strike... Hmm, it tastes good. Power, surging up!"
Chen Li increasingly felt that the Miraculous Item Gourmet Cells was simply perfect.
With his Gourmet Cells, Chen Li only needs to eat. He can grow stronger by taking a bite of whatever he encounters, and he doesn't need to worry about uneven growth because the [Distribution] system will take effect.
"... So what's the method?" Riku didn't really want to spoil Chen Li's interest in enjoying the food, but now that we've reached a crucial moment, you shouldn't keep thinking about eating.
If we eat more, what if the remaining power isn't enough to penetrate the planet?
"Don't worry, the artificial sun only needs 72.8% of its energy to penetrate the planet, and I only consumed 20%, so it's more than enough. And the thing that will ensure the Star Cup appears 100% of the time around you is here." Chen Li tossed a Crystal to Riku.
Riku hurriedly took the Crystal and saw a line of words encased in Crystal.
Although Riku had never seen this script before, Riku understood the meaning of the line of text in an instant.
[Strongest]
"You're very lucky to have met me today. Of course, I'm also very lucky to have met you today," Chen Li said.
Riku needs the "Strongest" attribute from the Black Orchid White Flower, while the Honkai world needs the "Game" attribute from Riku's world.
So both sides were very lucky.
"This thing is called an entry. After being refined by the Miracle Fire, it represents a concept. The God of War is indeed the strongest in this world in a conceptual sense, but unfortunately, what I excel at is refining concepts. Take it, use this bow to shoot arrows into the ground, and then welcome victory." Chen Li tossed the Peaceful Longbow to Riku.
The term "[Strongest]" comes from the Black Orchid White Flower held by Durandal.
Although the "strongest" attribute of the Black Orchid White Flower comes from the concept that every wielder of the Black Orchid White Flower God Key is the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, its brightness is not dazzling, but it is still acceptable.
The brightness of this "strongest" affix is definitely not as good as the "strongest" affix of the God of War. When Chen Li ate Gibril's feather and successfully infiltrated the Winged Race's camp with the help of the new Miracle Card, he observed the "God of War" from afar. Although he could not see the contents of the affix on the other party clearly, he could vaguely feel the brightness of the affix.
Without a doubt, the brightest one is undoubtedly the strongest.
However, the God of War's condition is only 12% of normal, while Riku currently possesses the strongest attribute, is in a near-perfect state.
Even if Riku's combat power remains at 100%, it's still less than 0.01% of the God of War's, but now it's time to compare percentages!
The strongest keyword is very interesting. Chen Li will probably use it in the future, so it's not too early to Extraction it now.
The reason for not using the Joy Dice is that Chen Li has already used up Joy Points. In such a critical situation, you absolutely cannot pin your hopes on the Joy Dice Joy Points, otherwise it will only cause trouble!
At the same time, Chen Li was so certain that this method would succeed because Chen Li spent 10 Starstones to use his [Precognition] ability to watch the outcome of creating the Miraculous Item for Riku.
In that ending, Chen Li saw a thriving human society.
This function was originally intended to allow Chen Li to predict the potential risks of forging Miraculous Item for others, in order to decide whether or not to forge them, but it can also be used to observe the general trend of the future.
Chen Li has always hated mechanic-based monsters because Chen Li truly knows how disgusting they are.
"Go, Riku, turn the tide!"
"Good!"
Encouraged by Chen Li, Riku glanced at Shuvi and her Connected Entity Einz, who had already begun to leave, then drew his Peaceful Longbow and aimed it at the earth below.
If they get too close to Riku, the moment that destructive power is released will be the day they both perish.
When the arrow, a confluence of the ultimate weapons of many races, was released and struck the earth, the restrained power of the arrow was instantly released. That power contracted into a beam of light, piercing the earth like a needle, penetrating the core of the planet, and even destroying the Spirit Corridor.
"Boom!"
