Chapter 482

Soon, a massive space undead fleet sailed toward the war planet where Luode was located.

This move caught Luode off guard, well! Are you looking down on me because I'm easy to bully? Do you think my war planet is no match for you? Still, the space undead people, especially a space undead overlord, honestly still have quite a presence and power.

In the galaxy, the space undead overlord best known to humanity is the Endless One Talaxi.

This one is not even a Law Emperor among the space undead, merely an overlord, a subordinate of the Law Emperor.

But relying on the technology the overlord can control, it also has a hoard of collectibles, though these are nothing in the eyes of some dynastic Law Emperors; the space undead race remains very powerful.

So Luode does not intend to send his beastmen troops to fight; the space undead race is extremely buggy.

Their entire race has metallic bodies; even if killed, their consciousness instantly returns to the Tomb World, then reassembles their bodies and is reborn.

In terms of population capacity, they are not inferior to the beastmen; indeed, the Tyranid Swarm, if willing, can endlessly produce an enormous mechanical army.

Moreover, the weapons they equip far surpass the imagination of galactic humanity.

After all, he was one of the main participants in the Heaven's War back then, the ultimate victor who obliterated the ancient holy race in that Heaven's War.

So Luode intends to personally take action against this space undead overlord, even preventing them from entering the Netherworld Star System.

Luode had previously used the power of the Small Universe to block all news of the arrival of this space undead overlord, Traveler Anrakel, whether it was their massive fleet or the response signals they sent out, Luode blocked them all with the Small Universe's power.

Even as a precaution, he also used some Saralga technology; after all, when facing a black‑tech race, being cautious is never wrong.

The orcs' crude mineral weapons are fine against humans or the Zerg, but trying to snipe space undead is a joke—an ordinary space undead sniper can easily kill a starfaring warrior.

Thus, in the Netherworld Star System, no one knew that a space undead overlord was about to arrive.

Luode silently left his throne, then used his spatial ability to instantly appear before the fleet of Traveler Anlakier.

"Great overlord Anlakier, our fleet ahead suddenly, suddenly appeared—something, a strange lifeform, how weird!" The grave technician of Traveler Anlakier's fleet flashed a gleam in his electronic eyes and spoke.

Even his expression was a little disbelieving—how could this be? Humanoid beings actually moving in space, in the cold cosmic void.

No organism can exist—not even the Tyranid Zerg, which rely on massive mother ships for transport; it's common knowledge that no life can survive in the freezing, dark cosmic void.

"What creature is this? I've never seen such a lifeform; I'll capture it and bring it aboard our ship to observe it!" Traveler Anlakier, watching the strange creature flicker on the virtual screen ahead, spoke.

Unlike his grave technician, Anlakier understood that in the cosmic void environment, a certain kind of life can indeed survive.

Moreover, they can freely soar through the cosmic void, feeding on massive stars and also devouring the souls of intelligent life.

The space undead race became these cold, steel bodies precisely because of this lifeform, whose name is Star Gods.

Just as evil gods were birthed in the warp, the material universe also gave birth to a batch of ancient deities.

They are the embodiment of all physical concrete laws, the manifestation of cosmic law, the most powerful life in the universe.

Possessing unimaginable knowledge, had it not been for the aid of the Star God clan, the space undead's progenitors, the Death‑Fearful, would have had no chance at all against the mighty Ancient Saints.

However, the mighty Star God race's bodies grew to the extreme, as large as planets, each a colossal behemoth in the universe.

After defeating the Star God race, the space undead cut up their corpses, splitting them into countless fragments.

Even so, each fragment of a Star God is a towering behemoth hundreds of meters tall, yet even the smallest Star God fragment does not resemble this strange creature before us.

Moreover, Star Gods are mostly composed of pure energy entities of the universe, possessing various forms.

Luode, standing in the cosmic void, curled his lip in a cold smile, raised his palm and aimed at the vast space undead fleet—today I'll let you witness what star‑burst level combat power is.

In Luode's palm condensed a crimson energy ball, which he then aimed at Traveler Anlakier's fleet.

"Great Anlakier, we've detected an extremely massive amount of energy—this special lifeform seems to possess tremendous power! It's a kind of energy we've never heard of nor seen." The grave technician spoke.

Although they detected powerful energy, the grave technician wasn't worried, because the space undead race possesses immensely strong technological power.

Their shroud‑clad starships are equipped with void shields that humans or orcs could hardly imagine; even a supernova explosion can be deflected as long as one isn't at the exact center.

"Use the void shield; after his attack, send out a fleet to capture it—I need you to bring this creature before me." The space undead overlord Anlakier spoke.

He has absolute confidence in his own race.

However, this race capable of living in the cosmic void is indeed very peculiar; perhaps we can study its power, which would be a boon for the space undead.

With a burst of scorching white light, the foremost space undead warship ahead of Luode was instantly struck.

A azure energy shield tried to ward off Luode's small‑universe attack, but upon contact with his small‑universe energy ball it collapsed instantly, and the huge energy ball struck the warship directly.

Boom! Boom! In the dark universe, a little fireworks burst; in the freezing, dark cosmic void, the space undead warships were blown to pieces, countless space undead drifting into the vacuum of space.

The icy cosmic void instantly froze them, even freezing their core data.

"Come on! Space undead, come over and let me get excited." Luode let out a gleeful roar, blazing small‑universe fire across his body, then charged straight at a space undead battleship.

After occupying this orc's body, Luode is in fact just as eager for battle as an orc—this race's bones and genes are imprinted with a fighting spirit, an extraordinarily belligerent genotype! The space undead battleship struck by Luode instantly exploded, was punched through by him, and the immense small‑universe power radiating from him tore the entire warship apart.

Thus, Luode, also eager for battle at this moment, donned a suit of golden armor—the god's armor worn by his true form.

His true form absorbs the power of the absolute god, so this armor can also accept the summoning of his soul.

Only by wearing the god's armor can he fully unleash the power of the small universe, and he need not worry about this body suffering irreversible harm.

Luode still trusts the defensive power of the god's armor.

"Hahaha! Come on, space undead, let's put on a splendid show—I'll take you all on alone." Luode wielded the god's sword, slashing forth a golden blade that instantly tore apart a space undead warship.

Countless space undead fleets also turned their guns, firing green disintegration beams from their barrels at Luode; anyone hit by this beam, even a mighty Star God, would suffer grave harm. But the god's armor Luode wore emitted a small‑universe defense, and the shield successfully blocked those green disintegration beams.

The space undead's attacks against Luode were utterly ineffective, unable even to breach the first layer of the god's armor's defense.

Luode let out a maniacal laugh, his god's sword constantly waving, countless sword qi thrusting into the space undead fleet.

Boom! Boom! Warships big and small, before Luode's sword qi were as flimsy as paper, exploding and shattering one after another; Luode resembled a war god descending, his body bursting with golden light, continually firing various small‑universe energy balls or sword qi, tearing apart the space undead fleet.

This is a completely mismatched battle! At that moment, in the space undead command center, an eerie silence prevailed; all the space undead high‑ranking officials stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

How could this be? How could such a terrifying creature exist—if their fleet were attacked by an equally sized fleet, they would still be defeated.

The space undead could accept that, but having their warships destroyed in this way seemed too implausible—"This is impossible; surely the data is wrong, such a powerful lifeform could not exist in this universe, absolutely not." A space undead technician spoke.

Meanwhile, a large group of space undead technicians began scanning all kinds of data, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before them! A madman, clad in ancient armor, wielding a weapon they could not comprehend, was now slaughtering wildly within their fleet.

The space undead's prized regenerative metal proved utterly helpless before this god's sword.

Moreover, the attacks they launched were all blocked by that golden armor on him; they couldn't even reach his vicinity before being disrupted and dissipated by an invisible force field.

"Strange, really strange—what exactly is that force field on him? We clearly have spiritual‑energy suppressors; we clearly can suppress spiritual‑energy power." A space undead technician spoke.

As everyone knows, in the real universe, psychics can unleash various supernatural attacks, but only psychics can do so; even powerful Star Gods rely on the various physical forces of the material universe, such as fire, such as ice.

Such an unfathomable method of attack, and the way they fight and the energy they use, is something they have never heard of.

A fleet led by a Space Undead Overlord can hold its own against even a complete Star God, and even has a way to injure a Star God.

Moreover, Traveler Anrakel helped countless Undead dynasties acquire massive armies, and the size of his forces is not much smaller than that of an ordinary weak magic sovereign.

"Release the core of our tomb world, the Star God fragment at the heart of the warship, and use the Star God's core fragment to deal with him." Traveler Anrakel's icy eyes flashed a green light as he spoke.

What an incredibly powerful lifeform; who would have thought that after slumbering for 60 million years, in this strange universe, such a terrifying and powerful life would actually be born.

However, don't think that's all the power the Space Undead possess; after defeating those Star Gods, the Space Undead, besides using their fragments as driving energy,

they will also incorporate these fragments into combat, each Star God fragment being an extremely powerful weapon.

"Yes, great Overlord Traveler Anrakel, activate the release procedure, begin authorized release of the Star God fragments." The Space Undead technician nodded, and Anrakel's flagship revealed its core—a colossal being a hundred meters tall, completely enveloped in various energies.

He is a fragment of the mighty Star God Void Dragon; after the Heavenly War ended, this Star God's fragment was allotted to the Space Undead Overlord Anrakel.

After the Void Dragon appeared, it immediately lunged at Luode, emitting scorching dark energy and also a stellar energy attack from the sun.

Star Gods are top-tier lifeforms of pure material universe; even before they develop self-consciousness, they can instinctively devour the stellar energy of the universe.

Of course, their favorite food is still the souls of sentient beings.

All in all, the life grade of these Star Gods is not inferior to that of Titans, but the Star Gods of this world have not generated divinity, nor do they possess any special divine power.

Thus they count as a deformed creature; their life grade is high, but their attack power and their own strength are weak, utterly unable to compare with god‑level beings.

Upon seeing this pure‑energy lifeform, Luode showed a delighted expression, "Have you got it wrong? You're basically bringing me food!"

Don't you know that such a pure‑energy lifeform is the best food for god‑level beings? Sending him out to fight me is just letting me become stronger.

The massive Star God fragment Void Dragon swiftly came before Luode, then launched an attack; terrifying stellar energy instantly enveloped Luode, so that outsiders could not see what was happening.

"This lifeform is indeed powerful, but with our current strength we cannot capture it; otherwise we could study it."

"There might be some debris fragments; such a powerful lifeform should be able to withstand stellar attacks, so we can study it." Some Space Undead tomb technicians aboard the flagship began to discuss.

They completely failed to notice that the Void Dragon's dark energy attack and stellar energy attack were being absorbed by some mysterious force.

Luode directly used his own divine microcosm to extract that pure energy, then injected it into the beastman's body before him, strengthening that body.

Even as the attack continued, the Void Dragon simply could not stop; its body, composed purely of energy, was being continually diluted by Luode.

Even this Star God fragment cannot absorb the energy of space to replenish itself.

"What, what is going on? Why? Why can it absorb the Star God's power? No way! Star Gods are the embodiment of physical law? Thus making the whole universe's physical law manifest."

The reason the Space Undead race uses Star God fragments as their ships' drive power is precisely because these Star Gods cannot be destroyed; even if their bodies are cut into countless fragments, it remains the same.

Moreover, these Star God fragments can even absorb the free energy of the universe; if given enough time, these fragments might possibly become complete Star Gods.

Thus the Space Undead race can only cut up these Star Gods' bodies and distribute the fragments to each Undead Overlord, using them as the core power of their starships, constantly consuming their energy.

But what they never expected was that in this universe a special lifeform has actually appeared, capable of absorbing Star God power!

"This is not an opponent we can handle; retreat immediately, we will leave this planet and upload what happened here to other Undead dynasties." Space Undead Overlord Anrakel spoke at once.

"It is the great Traveler; we have already released the Star God fragments, and now our ship cannot perform faster‑than‑light travel." The Space Undead technician said.

"Then don't use the FTL engine; just use the normal light‑speed engine. Let's hurry and leave this place—after all, time means nothing to us." Anrakel said.

At this moment, Luode in the void had finished his devouring and even let out a belch; all the essence of the Void Dragon's fragments had been completely consumed by Luode.

Seeing the Space Undead fleet before him trying to retreat, Bode sheathed his sword, clasped his hands together, and then unleashed the famed signature technique of the Gemini Gold Saint.

"Take this! Galaxy Starburst!"

An unimaginably intense light burst forth, shattering the entire heavens, and the immensely powerful energy instantly engulfed all the Space Undead fleets before them.

In an instant, the dark, cold void of the universe fell silent, leaving only Luode alone and countless wrecks of Space Undead warships. (End of chapter)
