Chapter 164

But everyone knew that Gong Jingshan had no reason to deceive them, especially with Min Yiyun and Jing Fanbai adding from the side. One must know that these three belong to the Magic Card General Associations of different capital cities; if one really wanted to pursue it, it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.

"So, what you said is all true?" Shangguan Pu felt his throat becoming a bit dry.

Although he is a Sovereign, the strongest Magic Card he holds has reached the ten-star level, but nine-star Magic Cards still occupy a significant position in his deck and are also the main Magic Cards he uses most in his daily life.

Now telling him that a Monarch Realm Magic Card newbie also holds a nine-star Magic Card, and it's a dragon species, he really couldn't accept it for a moment.

Hiss!

Looking at each other, Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Yanran and the other young ladies were also dumbfounded. They knew that Lu Li was going further and further on the path of being inhuman, and they also felt that the other party must have kept an ace up his sleeve, but they didn't expect this ace to be so outrageous.

"Good guy, no wonder Lu Li was so calm when facing the Magic Dao Society back then. It turns out it's because he was hiding this ace." Shangguan Wan'er smacked her lips.

"I have never seen anyone who can hide as much as him." Meng Chuyun's little face was indignant. Now the hope of wanting to catch up to Lu Li has become even further away.

Especially thinking that if it weren't for her accidentally knowing that the other party was the Night Queen's disciple, she might still be kept in the dark until now!

"It's not that Lu Li can hide, but that no one has been able to force out his true strength before." Taking a deep breath, Su Xueyi said with a tense little face; this also had a huge impact on her.

Liu Yanran on the side felt the same way. She was the first to know Lu Li, but until now, she didn't know how many trump cards Lu Li had.

As for Shangguan Hong, Mei Chaoyu, and Song Lihui, these three stronger Immortal Realm experts were also stunned at this moment.

Is the improvement of this young man's strength a bit too outrageous? He already possesses a Magic Card spirit with nine-star combat power?

But soon, Shangguan Hong laughed, and he laughed so brightly. After all, Lu Li is a Magic Card master from their Cangdu. The better Lu Li performs in the Eternal Night plane, the more capital Cangdu has to show off.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, do you know that you look very sleazy right now?" Seeing Shangguan Hong's smug little face, Mei Chaoyu retorted without ceremony.

She could see it; that girl from the Meng family definitely has ideas about Lu Li, otherwise she wouldn't have run over so hurriedly just now.

Now it's good; not only was Shangguan Hong able to show off, but even the Magic Card master she favored seems to be about to be snatched away. The fertile water flowed to an outsider's field; how could this make her feel good?

"It's fine, anyway, I even have a granddaughter, and maybe I'll have a great-grandchild soon. Sleazy is sleazy," regarding this, Shangguan Hong was calm: "Besides, even if I'm sleazy, I'm still the President of the Cangdu Magic Card General Association. Is there anyone who can replace me?"

Holy crap!

Hearing Shangguan Hong's words, Mei Chaoyu was dumbfounded. Although she and the other party have been old rivals for many years, she didn't expect this guy to be this mean.

Song Lihui felt strange; this was clearly a joint exploration of the three capital cities, so why does it seem like their Yaodu is being left out? It's a headache.

"The high-level mechanical civilization that preceded the Eternal Night plane possessed a total of over a dozen Arbiters, and above the Arbiters, there were Purifiers, Builders, and even Judges and Creators," Lu Li muttered to himself while flipping through the data analyzed by Molemon: "However, after the civilization collapsed, the surviving Purifiers and existences above Builders were basically nowhere to be found, and within the Eternal Night plane that merged into the Magic Card civilization, there is only one Arbiter."

By Lu Li's side, mechanical constructs appeared from time to time, but they were soon easily solved by Chaos Black Magician Girl and other Magic Card spirits.

"Besides this, the information Molemon collected from the Agent shows that quite a few Magic Card masters who entered the Eternal Night plane were captured and brainwashed to go to the End Land. I don't know what the Arbiter has in mind."

Saying this, Lu Li added all these newly obtained materials, along with the data previously obtained from the Agent, into the simulation construction. The simulation speed of the Shipgirl worldview decreased significantly, which was caused by the influx of a large amount of data, requiring further improvements to the original settings and background of the worldview.

"The Arbiter is the Agent's superior, and its strength is also stronger than the Agent's. Looking at it this way, I'm afraid the Arbiter's strength will reach the ten-star level." His eyes flickered, but Lu Li didn't have any fear: "Ten-star mechanical construct, this time maybe it can be allowed to take the stage."

312. Arbiter: Sterrenkuss

"Master, those constructs have all retreated." Waving the long-handled staff in her hand, after Chaos Black Magician Girl killed quite a few mechanical constructs, she found that the constructs that had been swarming over were all retreating at this moment.

"It seems that the Arbiter knows that continuing like this won't stop us, so it called all its subordinates back." Hearing Mana's reminder, Lu Li looked up at the surroundings and indeed found that all the mechanical constructs within his field of vision were evacuating in an orderly manner, without any panic at all.

This is also one of the characteristics of mechanical civilization; strict hierarchy ensures absolute execution of orders.

"Since that's the case, then we should also speed up. You all come back first." After saying this, Lu Li raised his head and beckoned, recalling Black Magician Girl and Eosmon X into the Eternal Land, then Lu Li patted the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon beneath him.

Roar!

Amidst the roar, the speed of the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon suddenly increased sharply. Without the obstruction of the constructs, it carried Lu Li deep into the core of the Eternal Night plane in an instant.

Everything that came into view was shattered wreckage, some belonging to constructs, some belonging to extraterritorial fierce beasts, and looking around, it almost covered the entire area in front of him.

"Master, this place is filled with very strong resentment, and I perceive a very strong energy reaction deeper inside." Kisara's voice rang in his mind.

As the words fell, a large number of attacks suddenly struck, and the targets were none other than Lu Li and the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon.

Roar!

The dragon's roar resounded through the sky, and the light wings behind the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon flapped violently. The terrifying gale connected heaven and earth, and all the incoming attacks were blown away.

Subsequently, countless Magic Card spirits appeared, surrounding Lu Li and the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, among which there were many eight-star Magic Card spirits. Not far away, the figures of Magic Card masters also emerged, but these Magic Card masters all had dull eyes, and at the position of their back spines, a special mechanical tentacle was inserted, connecting to the depths of the End Land.

"It seems this is the host's way of welcoming us. It has a sense of AI crisis," seeing this, Lu Li's expression was very calm. With a wave of his hand, the figures of Chaos Black Magician Girl, MetalGreymon X, and Angewomon X appeared again: "No need to hold back."

Having signed a contract with Celestin, Lu Li is very sensitive to life aura. In his perception, although these Magic Card masters in front of him can still summon Magic Card spirits, in fact, they no longer have much life aura on them and are completely controlled by the mechanical tentacles connected to their backs.

As for the Magic Card spirits, they are controlled by the Magic Card masters, so naturally, they are also controlled by the black hand behind the Magic Card masters.

Although they belong to the same Magic Card civilization, and among them are Magic Card masters from Cangdu, Lu Li didn't intend to hold back. Even if these people could be saved, they are already beyond saving.

Chaos Baptism!

The long-handled staff waved, and the chaos power between black and white descended, covering all the Magic Card spirits. Instantly, all the states on the Magic Card spirits hit by the Chaos Baptism were cleared.

Swords of Revealing Light! Several light swords descended from the sky. At the same time, the colorful holy bubbles expanded in the hands held by Angewomon X, confining all the Magic Card spirits together with the Swords of Revealing Light.

Armed Steelization!

The modified energy cannon replaced the right claw, the muzzle unfolded, and terrifying energy condensed in the cannon body. Besides this, the elevator cabin at the mouth of MetalGreymon X also unfolded, and the fluctuations second only to the modified energy cannon rolled over.

At the position opposite to MetalGreymon X, the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon also opened its huge dragon mouth, and the power of destruction was compressed within it, even shattering space at this moment.

Positron Blast!

Giga Storm!

Burst Stream of Destruction!

Three attacks that seemed capable of destroying everything instantly struck the Magic Card spirits that were confined and unable to move.

Boom!

A huge mushroom cloud rose, resounding through the entire End Land. Endless heat turned into shockwaves and kept striking into the distance. All existences hit by the shockwaves along the way were turned into fragments, including those Magic Card masters with mechanical tentacles.

In the face of this near-natural disaster destruction, the physical strength of Magic Card masters is a joke.

The dust dissipated, the huge mushroom cloud disappeared, leaving only a terrifying deep pit on the spot, and all the Magic Card spirits were wiped out in the joint attack just now.

The black hand behind the scenes controlling all this obviously didn't expect Lu Li to solve the Magic Card masters and Magic Card spirits blocking the way so quickly, and until now, there has been no action.

Patting the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Lu Li looked towards the depths of the End Land: "Let's go, it's our turn to go and say hello to the host."

Regarding the Magic Card masters who died in the explosion, Lu Li didn't have too many thoughts. Since they chose to enter the Eternal Night plane to explore, they should have thought of this, not to mention that these people couldn't be saved.

As the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon went deeper, mechanical constructs appeared along the way to block Lu Li's advance, and even Agents appeared occasionally, but their numbers were pitifully small compared to Executors and Erasers.

It's a pity that under the full-fire attacks of Chaos Black Magician Girl and Angewomon X, even mechanical constructs couldn't block them for even a fraction.

"Looks like we're here!" A moment later, Lu Li felt his eyes brighten. The Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon carried him into a space filled with countless mechanical wreckage. In this mechanical space, a huge machine stood in the center of the space, with countless mechanical tentacles connected to every corner of the machine.

At the core of the machine, the upper body of a human-like female with brown-black skin stood out. The moment Lu Li appeared, her dull eyes gradually lit up, as if waking up.

【Arbiter: Sterrenkuss】

Race: Mechanical Construct

Quality: Legendary

Level: Ten-star

Skills: Adaptive Armor, Cross Barrage, Hidden Sea Mist, Electromagnetic Interference

Adaptive Armor: After life drops below a certain level, deploy adaptive armor and activate the second form, quality increases by one level, gaining more powerful firepower attacks and defense.

Cross Barrage: Fire several burst shells, each burst shell then radiates linear barrages in all directions, weaving a dense barrage net to wrap around the attack target.

Hidden Sea Mist: Release mist on the battlefield, slowing down the speed of all units entering the mist, while reducing the hit rate of all units entering the mist.

Electromagnetic Interference: Release a special electronic magnetic field on the battlefield; non-mechanical enemies have their combat power reduced by 20%.

Description: Originally one of the Arbiters of the Arbiter Agency of the high-level mechanical civilization. After the high-level mechanical civilization collapsed, it became the highest-level mechanical construct in the Eternal Night plane. It seems to have undergone some mutation after absorbing the resentment of extraterritorial fierce beasts.

Bang bang bang!

The mechanical tentacles connected to Arbiter Sterrenkuss suddenly broke and fell to the ground one after another, stirring up bursts of hollow sounds.

Immediately after, the dark blue electromagnetic field expanded instantly, directly shrouding Lu Li and his Magic Card spirits. In an instant, except for MetalGreymon X, whether it was Chaos Black Magician Girl, Angewomon X, or the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, they all felt their bodies become heavy, and their combat power also dropped significantly.

In the Magic Card civilization, the modified MetalGreymon is also classified into the mechanical Magic Card sequence, so it was immune to the influence of electromagnetic interference.

313. BlitzGreymon X!

"Human, Magic Card master, you are very special." Arbiter Sterrenkuss opened and closed its mouth, and its voice resounded through the entire End Land.

Without any tone, without any emotion, Arbiter Sterrenkuss was incredibly cold: "My terminal simulated that as long as you are assimilated, my machine will get further evolution, and there is a 90% probability that I will be able to promote to a Purifier."

According to the hierarchy of the high-level mechanical civilization, above the Arbiter is the Purifier. As long as the machine is promoted, it will have the opportunity to purify the abnormalities in its body.

As the words fell, Arbiter Sterrenkuss's machine extended countless mechanical tentacles towards Lu Li, obviously intending to grab him directly.

As for Chaos Black Magician Girl and the Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and other Magic Card spirits, they were directly ignored by Arbiter Sterrenkuss. According to its machine's inference, these Magic Card spirits cannot pose any threat to it.

Even though these four Magic Card spirits killed all the Magic Card masters and Magic Card spirits it brainwashed and controlled in one hit just now, such attacks still couldn't cause too much impact on it.

In fact, the encirclement and suppression of mechanical constructs that Lu Li encountered along the way were all deliberate arrangements by Arbiter Sterrenkuss, all to test Lu Li's upper limit.

When the Observer fed back the information, Arbiter Sterrenkuss synchronously listed Lu Li as one of the candidate capture targets.
