The Barrier Rises
For the past three months, there has been no major chaos, but minor disturbances have been constant. Perhaps it was because of one of the Demon Calamity invasions that the Starshine Grand Barrier Plan was leaked to the Otherworld Demon Realm. For the past three months, Demon Calamity have occurred almost every day, with the number of occurrences reaching an astonishing eight times that of the past.
At the center of the barrier, which is also the location of the Star Knot Mother, a large number of Demonspawn charged towards the control center ahead, shouting as Lu Li floated in mid-air. A large number of crows materialized and then crystallized, burning with ghostly blue flames, slaying the Demonspawn one by one.
On the other side, all the heroes of the Black Day mobilized. Shimada Kako wielded her light blade wildly, watching the seemingly endless energy lamp flash with a blue light. The next moment, a huge phantom of a divine dragon burst out of the sky, taking away the lives of a large number of Demonspawn. Strangely, however, a huge pair of raven wings grew from the back of the divine dragon, and its dragon feet looked even more like ravens. Therefore, Shimada Kako's current title is the Feathered Serpent Swordswoman.
Arc Light flashed wildly amidst the horde of Demonspawn. Mori extended two blades of light from his hand, piercing through and taking the lives of Demonspawn one by one. Zack Avatar into a bouncy ball, bouncing around in the crowd. A large Shadow Legion also moved, hunting down Demonspawn. Only Shadow B kept spouting nonsense.
"Brother B is a real tough guy, all talk and no action." Shadow B sprang into action, a Short Blade appearing in his hand, instantly killing two Demonspawn: "Hey! One B kills two demons! Hey, head cracks walnuts! Come on, Black Tiger hunts down the trapped lamb!!"
"Hey! Take this! Tornado destroys the parking lot!!" Shadow B spun around, his Short Blade darts flying wildly, piercing all the surrounding Demonspawn.
"You have that trick too!" Then he jumped up, grabbing one of the Lu Li crows in each hand, spreading his arms out flat, and tucking his legs high into the air. He landed and slammed into a Demonspawn: "Crows! Take! Flight! Planes!"
A large number of Demonspawn were wiped out. Lilith walked among the Demonspawn, and any Demonspawn that dared to approach was killed instantly. Soon after falling to the ground, orange snakes spread out and burrowed into the Demonspawn's bodies, giving birth to more Demonspawn.
"Snake Mother, where are we going?" Perched on Lilith's shoulder, the fist-sized Abaddon waved his four chopstick-sized arms and excitedly watched the increasing number of orange snakes.
"Shall I take you back to your home?" Lilith affectionately stroked Abaddon's little head.
"Is Abaddon going to leave the Mother Serpent and the Shadow Lord to develop on her own?" Abaddon had few doubts. As a child born of the Mother Serpent and a member of the Shadow Lord' kin, she understood her fate.
"Yes, you will be the matriarch of the Orange Serpent lineage from now on," Lilith said softly, as more and more orange serpents gathered at Lilith feet.
"Abaddon understands, but will Abaddon ever see the Mother Serpent and the Shadow Lord again? I still want to play with Star Knot!" Abaddon said softly, though he understood, with a touch of sadness.
"Abaddon! Remember that you are the firstborn son of the Orange Serpent. Named by your master, you are the Serpent of Pain. You will ensure the Orange Serpent lineage flourishes!" Lilith cradled the little serpent in her hands, and the orange serpents around her rose and intertwined, transforming into a serpent ladder that climbed into the black void in mid-air.
Lilith placed Abaddon on the serpent ladder. The teleportation mechanism, which was originally only for Demonspawn to enter and exit, did not work on the orange serpent, because the orange serpent was conceived from Demonspawn.
"I will remember the teachings of the Mother Serpent! May the Shadow Lord cover the heavens forever!" Abaddon climbed the serpent ladder and entered the black void, thus entering the Otherworld Demon Realm. As time and space changed, a large number of orange serpents bit the overseer guarding the entrance to death.
Standing atop a giant orange serpent, Abaddon gazed upon the desolate and gloomy landscape of the Otherworld Demon Realm and proclaimed in a childish voice, "Otherworld Demon Realm, your Queen Abaddon has arrived! Eeya eeya!"
In a manor in the Otherworld Demon Realm, a slightly aged Demonspawn looked up at the sky. Unlike the other Otherworldly Demonspawn who invaded Starshine with almost no reason, this Demonspawn wore elegant and expensive clothes, with several silver patterns on his body, the symbol of a noble Otherworldly Demonspawn. He stared blankly at the horizon, muttering, "The Shadow Serpent has descended."
In the Shadow Dreamlands above the distant Fairy Tale Town, Lu Li's true form sensed something and began to writhe. All the inhabitants dwelling there knelt down, offering their loyalty to the great Shadow Lord.
"My kin are beginning to spread!"
Although the number of Demonspawn was large, they could not withstand such a massacre, and subsequent turmoil among the troops brought the invasion to a swift end. The black void in the sky disappeared, symbolizing the official end of this Demon Calamity.
As the massacre ended, the Black Day's logistics personnel soon arrived to clean up the corpses of the Demonspawn, or to capture the wounded but not yet dead Demonspawn and take them as prisoners. The fate of these Demonspawn was only to become experimental subjects.
Lu Li changed his clothes and walked into the control center. Suddenly, some small red dots appeared in the center in the distance, converging into the image of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Seeing Lu Li, she opened her arms and ran towards him. "Father, I want a hug! I want to be lifted up high!"
"Star Knot here, let your Uncle B give you a hug!" Shadow B's eyes lit up as he opened his arms, muttering things like, "Three years is a bloody profit, a death sentence is not a loss."
"Stop fooling around." Lu Li placed one hand on Star Knot's head and gently rubbed it. This little girl was a semi-realistic body created by Star Knot using holographic projection technology combined with activated algae. Her appearance was entirely simulated by holographic projection, while her internal form should be a mass of wriggling red tentacles.
Because she was a being created by Lu Li, she called Lu Li "Father".
"Yes, Father, Star Knot understands." The little girl nodded obediently and said, "The staff of the Starshine World Council have approved the barrier connection plan, and the connection project can begin promptly at twelve o'clock."
"Understood. Gather everyone and begin the final work." Lu Li turned to everyone and said. The Starshine Grand Barrier Plan, after more than four months of preparation, was about to be officially launched today with extremely high efficiency.
During this period, Lu Li and his team checked all the satellite nodes and their changing trajectories, confirming them no less than a hundred times. Finally, they gradually established the Starshine Grand Barrier, and today they will officially connect it and begin operations.
If the Starshine World Council hadn't also been conducting various inspections of the Great Barrier, the Connectivity Project could have been completed much faster. But today, everything was approved, and at midnight, the Starshine Grand Barrier was officially activated.
In the distant outer space, a total of 999 satellites flashed with dazzling red light. Reddish energy channels connected all the satellites. Looking up at the starry sky from the ground, one could see that the sky seemed to be shining with red light for a moment, as a huge red network enveloped the Starshine Great World and then quietly disappeared.
From that moment on, the Starshine Grand Barrier shone brightly in the sky, and the world began to change...
The fourth update is over. Since the monthly votes have reached 700, the update progress is now 8/10. By the way, are double monthly votes really going to kill Xu Ming? Considering Xu Ming's integrity in making up for the missed updates, how about a reward?
