Chapter 3501: Kain's Scheme

Deafening sounds of breaking air came from above as 270 Sun Flame Dragons were diving down one after another, crashing into Kara.

The reason for choosing this was that Kara's tracking missiles were very difficult to deal with. With the Sun Flame Dragons' flight speed, there was absolutely no possibility of a surprise attack.

In other words, if they besieged it, the 270 Sun Flame Dragons might not even be able to get close to Kara to spray dragon flames before being blown up by Kara's missiles or biological heavy cannons.

Since that was the case, Su Xiao thought of other ways. He issued an instruction to the 270 Sun Flame Dragons to first fly to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, then dive down, use all possibilities to accelerate, and concentrate the sun energy in their bodies together before crashing into Kara.

Su Xiao never thought that this method could kill Kara, but as long as it was weakened to a certain extent, with his current Dragon Rider form, the winning percentage would be high.

Thud! Thud! Thud...

Explosion sounds continued to come. The huge Kara had more than half of its body exposed outside the lake water. Missiles flew out from the holes behind its back, turned, and met the crashing Sun Flame Dragons.

The firelight above the lake almost formed a barrier, but it could be seen that Kara's firepower was clearly being suppressed by the diving explosions of the Sun Flame Dragons one after another.

With a "zila" sound, a scarlet laser several meters thick sprayed from Kara's single eye, sweeping across the sky. All the Sun Flame Dragons along the way were crystallized, lost their diving accuracy, and crashed into the lake water near Kara, making successive explosion sounds.

After the 137th Sun Flame Dragon dived and exploded, Kara's missile defense was finally blasted out of a gap. Two Sun Flame Dragons immediately rushed into this gap and crashed into Kara, exploding.

Thud! Thud!

After two explosions, sun flames shrouded most of Kara's body. The missiles that had never stopped finally stalled and stopped firing.

Seeing this, Su Xiao on the dragon's back pointed his thunder spear downwards. At the same time, those Sun Flame Dragons that were diving down one after another had golden-red patterns floating all over their bodies, and they were almost about to burn.

Taking advantage of this short break Kara revealed, one Sun Flame Dragon after another, under Su Xiao's control, was like a huge cannonball falling from the sky, bombing Kara one after another.

Deafening explosion sounds came one after another, air waves scattered, the lake water churned, and Kara was completely submerged in the diving explosions of the Sun Flame Dragons.

Seeing this scene, Kain, Silver Pheasant, and others in the dark had the illusion that Kara would die just like this.

Would Kara die so easily? Of course not. There was one thing that was the same as Su Xiao's prediction, which was that Kara was constantly evolving.

This information had to be thanked to Empire's Hand Rhine Gold. Before, the other party had clashed with Kara. The information he gave was that at the beginning, when using orbital cannons to blast Kara, Kara would still suffer quite heavy injuries, but after Kara's injuries recovered quickly and it took a few more orbital cannons, Rhine Gold found that the damage Kara suffered continued to weaken.

This showed that a certain ability of Kara would allow it to constantly adapt to the attacks of that characteristic while being injured. The current situation was that after resisting the diving explosions of 270 Sun Flame Dragons, Kara, even if it was a World-class creature, should have died.

The problem was that after resisting multiple explosions, its resistance in this regard increased sharply, naturally leading to the damage suffered later becoming smaller and smaller.

The lake surface that had just calmed down was topped with water overflowing due to Kara standing up again. After a long and deep roar, Kara stood up. The biological armor on its body was covered with cracks, gullies crisscrossing. Of its eight arms, the two arms with palms were still intact, and the remaining six heavy cannon arms, four of which were scrapped—either blown off at the root or hanging broken.

Not only that, more than one-third of the missile launch holes on Kara's back were blasted, and more importantly, its health dropped to the point where even if it was bombed like this, Kara's health was still higher than 60%. This was truly too hard.

There are many things in this world that are fair, just like Kara. Although it had a high threat to cities or large residential areas, if it wanted to kill a powerhouse, if the other party didn't collide with it head-on, Kara basically had no way.

Of course, if an individual powerhouse wanted to kill Kara, it was also difficult. Without sufficient paving, it was really possible that it couldn't be beaten.

And now, Su Xiao had done sufficient paving. Kara resisted the explosions of more than 200 Sun Flame Dragons. It looked like it was still as immovable as a mountain, but its external defense was no longer that amazing.

The sound of wind brushed past his ears. Su Xiao controlled Barbatos to glide close to the lake surface. He was currently located diagonally behind Kara. Kara was clearly bombed until it was a bit confused. Its head must be buzzing; otherwise, it wouldn't

The sound of the wind brushed past his ears as Su Xiao piloted Barbados, gliding almost flush against the surface of the lake. He was currently positioned diagonally behind Kara. Kara was clearly somewhat dazed from the explosions, its brain definitely buzzing; otherwise, it would not have forgotten to use a sensory shock, instead following instinct to scan its front with its massive single eye, searching for the enemy's location.

Zzzzt—

A wisp of electric arc flashed across the lightning spear in Su Xiao's hand, and the next instant, thunder rolled across the sky.

Boom!!

A bolt of World Thunder crashed down, striking Kara. Kara's massive body shuddered violently from the electricity, and as the World Thunder spread through the lake water, it emitted a chilling, sizzling sound.

Had Su Xiao reached the level where he could manipulate World Thunder at will? Of course not; he had just used the lightning spear in his hand to draw the World Thunder down.

After providing the initial guidance for the World Thunder, Su Xiao immediately severed the connection, letting the World Thunder strike at random.

The targets present most likely to be struck by lightning were Su Xiao in his Dragon Rider state and Kara.

Ask yourself: is Kara, with its 300-meter-tall frame and lower body submerged in the lake, more likely to be struck, or is Su Xiao, riding Barbados at a lower altitude, more likely to be hit?

The answer was obvious. As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind; with Kara's height, if the World Thunder didn't prioritize striking it, then the heavens would truly be blind.

Moreover, World Thunder is linked to the world, luck, causality, and the like. If this were a normal Kara, then without a doubt, after drawing down the World Thunder, with Su Xiao's 'Great Fortune' luck, if he didn't get struck, it would mean the World Consciousness had missed its mark.

Right now, Kara was no longer a purely world-class creature; it was being eroded by Netherworld power. Comparing the two, the World Thunder would definitely strike it.

As soon as one bolt of World Thunder struck, Su Xiao immediately drew a second. Sure enough, the second bolt of World Thunder seemed to have its own navigation system, crashing head-on into the top of Kara's head.

As if it didn't feel satisfied, a third bolt of World Thunder didn't even need Su Xiao to draw it, striking down on its own initiative.

"Roar!!"

Kara was enraged. It raised its remaining two heavy-artillery giant arms, and after accumulating energy, it blasted toward the sky. Missile after missile flew out from behind it, also attacking the high altitude.

After a series of explosions, Kara seemed to finally remember that it still had a sensory shock.

Thump—

A shockwave swept across the surface of the lake, brushing past Su Xiao and Barbados.

The next second, Kara raised a heavy-artillery giant arm, aiming at the Moon Apostle and Hao Mei, who were recording in the reeds by the lake.

"??"

The Moon Apostle was stunned. She really wanted to retort: you aren't blasting the Dragon Rider behind you, but you're blasting the ones on the shore eating melons and watching the show? You really deserve to be struck by lightning.

"Damn it!"

In the Moon Apostle's slightly terrified gaze, Hao Mei hugged her waist from behind. Due to the height difference, Hao Mei had to specifically lower herself to let the Moon Apostle be taller than her, and then she performed a friendly backward suplex, causing the back of the Moon Apostle's head to hit the ground. Miraculously, Hao Mei and the Moon Apostle disappeared immediately, reappearing a hundred meters away. Although this move looked a bit bizarre, it was a skill to save teammates.

The biological heavy artillery blasted over, and the wetland by the lake evaporated instantly. A large hole was blasted into the mountain behind, neater than one made by a tunnel boring machine.

The reason Kara blasted toward the Moon Apostle and Hao Mei was, theoretically speaking, actually the correct operation.

Hao Mei had the World Thunder ability, and her blood was the rare Thunder Snow. Therefore, in Kara's judgment, the World Thunder was drawn by Hao Mei. As for Su Xiao in the Dragon Rider state behind it, the opponent was also enduring the World Thunder rather than mastering it, so it was unlikely that the World Thunder was drawn by Su Xiao.

From this, it could be seen that Kara had sobered up quite a bit from being struck by lightning, knowing how to judge the situation. Unfortunately, Su Xiao's method of controlling World Thunder was different from ordinary people; he relied entirely on his lightning resistance to endure it, which was a case of "inflicting 800 damage on the enemy while suffering 60 damage himself."

After blasting Hao Mei away with one heavy artillery shot, Kara finally focused its attention on Su Xiao in the Dragon Rider state.

Kara's giant arm scooped up, and a large amount of water from the lake splashed toward Su Xiao. Because it carried strong kinetic energy, these water droplets struck like needles.

With a crack, the lightning spear swept across, scattering the water droplets into a mist.

Kara, standing in the lake, stood in a standoff with Su Xiao in the Dragon Rider state. Although there was a huge difference in size, their momentum was surprisingly similar.

Su Xiao looked up slightly at Kara in front of him, as if an invisible pressure was rushing toward him.

Zzz—

A laser several meters thick struck from diagonally above. Su Xiao immediately piloted Barbados to dodge to the side, the scarlet laser narrowly grazing past Su Xiao.

Barbados's flight speed suddenly increased significantly. The wind pressure made Su Xiao squint his eyes, his body slightly hunched. Barbados flew in an arc, attempting to circle to Kara's diagonal rear.

A whistling sound rushed toward him. Several missiles flew into Su Xiao's sensory circle. He swept his lightning spear, and a fan-shaped lightning spear glow diffused out, blasting the incoming missiles.

As the shock of the explosion arrived, Su Xiao immediately piloted Barbados to turn, flying upward through the gap between Kara's giant arms, aiming for Kara's head.

The sound of an explosion came from behind; it was Kara's own missiles, blasting into its own giant arm because it couldn't dodge in time.

After closing in, Kara's only self-defense method seemed to be the tracking missile move. Su Xiao was using this point to circle around Kara.

Kara's giant arms flailed wildly but couldn't touch Barbados, which was flying around it, at all. Instead, it was repeatedly hit by its own missiles.

Another bolt of World Thunder descended from the sky, causing Kara's body to sway and its health to drop by a chunk. If this situation could be maintained, Su Xiao would definitely win.

However, when he had previously detected Kara's data, he had only detected 17.2%. This was still thanks to the Ancient Mask; when facing Kara, detection equipment was completely useless, leaving many of Kara's abilities in an unknown state.

Kara, having swung its giant arms repeatedly without being able to hurt Su Xiao at all, finally became completely enraged. It suddenly stopped in place, and a ghostly green light lit up in the center of its chest, growing increasingly dazzling.

Su Xiao piloted Barbados to retreat immediately, but Kara's ability had no precursor when used, making it little different from an instant-cast ability.

Su Xiao only felt an impact strike from the left, followed by a buzzing sound in his ears, as if countless chaotic consciousnesses were invading. This was a feeling where, as long as one gave up resistance, one could enjoy eternal peace; there would be no more pain, no more death, and everything would return to the bottom of the Netherworld.

!

Su Xiao's eyes suddenly snapped open, breaking free from that illusory beauty. This was not mental control or bewitchment, but a form of erosion. As a Sword Art Master with high soul strength, Su Xiao resisted it before the erosion could take hold.

The surrounding temperature was very high, and bubbles were rising. Su Xiao had fallen into the lake. He kicked Barbados beneath his feet, and Barbados, whose two vertical pupils had been dull, suddenly regained consciousness. It spread its wings and surged out of the water.

Water droplets dripped down Su Xiao's hair. He looked at Kara a hundred meters away. He was now in severe pain all over, his bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart; clearly, he had been swatted into the lake by Kara's giant hand just a moment ago.

The risk of getting close to Kara was too high. The good news was that after the continuous targeting just now, the missile-launching ports on Kara's back were less than one in ten remaining.

Su Xiao clasped his hands together, and over 85% of the blood energy within him erupted. This eruption was completely different from the past; the blood energy first diffused to the surroundings, then suddenly retracted, forming a phantom that looked like both human and beast around him. The inspiration for this thing came from the Susanoo of the Naruto World.

The blood energy phantom was about 10 meters tall, its form resembling the fierce beast Fei. Its upper body was human-like, its left hand was a ferocious beast claw, with bone spurs protruding from the elbow of the left arm, and scales growing on the arm. The right arm was a human arm, but the hand only had three fingers: thumb, index, and middle, with no ring or little finger.

After the blood energy phantom was successfully constructed, it protected Su Xiao, who was on Barbados's back. A surge of soul energy drifted out from Su Xiao's body.

A long time ago, Su Xiao had obtained a scroll named "Soul Scythe · Shadow," which was the Soul Scythe form—an ability that could only be mastered after mastering the Severed Soul Shadow.

Su Xiao hadn't fully grasped this ability yet. The structure of the Soul Scythe was very delicate, but Su Xiao already understood the general principle: the Soul Scythe form was to construct a weapon with soul energy, then use this soul weapon formed by his own soul power to create a soul core, and finally embed it into the soul disk of the Severed Soul Shadow, becoming a characteristic of the Severed Soul Shadow.

The Soul Scythe form conflicted somewhat with Su Xiao's existing Rapid Soul Core, but the principle of this ability benefited Su Xiao greatly.

What he was doing now was using soul power to construct a weapon, which would also be to construct a giant bow for the blood energy phantom.

Barbados soared in the sky, dodging Kara's biological heavy artillery and missiles below. On its back, a giant bow had already been constructed in the blood energy phantom's hands using soul power. This giant bow had the semi-transparency of soul energy and the blood color of blood energy, looking completely solid.

Don't underestimate this weapon; its attack intensity received a dual bonus from Su Xiao's soul strength and blood energy. Not only that, but the arrow it was about to shoot was also very formidable.

Su Xiao released the lightning spear in his hand. The lightning spear flew up and was held by the blood energy phantom with one hand.

The blood energy phantom's scaly claw held the giant bow, while the other palm held the lightning spear.

Click, click, click—

The blood energy phantom nocked the bow and drew the string, the tip of the lightning spear aiming at Kara diagonally below. As Barbados flew, the aiming angle changed bit by bit.

Kara below immediately felt the crisis. It somewhat frantically blocked its front with its arms because it sensed that if it were hit by the lightning spear, it would leave a gaping hole straight through its body. If a critical position like the head were hit, Kara would be dead or at least half-dead.

Kain and Silver Pheasant, who had been watching the battle from the shadows, were still relatively calm, but the Hall of Valor members behind them all had "WTF" expressions. They had never believed that Su Xiao would fight Kara head-on, but now this situation had appeared. What made their jaws drop even more was that Kara seemed to have lost its nerve.

On the dragon's back, Su Xiao's gaze remained locked on Kara diagonally below, having Barbados fly around Kara to find a shooting angle. When Barbados flew at full speed to the diagonal opposite of Kara, Su Xiao piloted the blood energy phantom to release the bowstring.

Bang!!

A sonic boom spread across the dragon's back. After breaking through a series of sonic booms, the lightning spear shot through the left side of Kara's torso, leaving a hole there through which one could clearly see the other side.

Dark purple blood scattered, and Kara was shot back dozens of meters. The missiles it launched couldn't intercept the lightning spear at all. The combination of Blood Shadow + Soul Bow + Lightning Spear was not only fast but also extremely destructive and penetrating.

After firing this shot, Su Xiao's spirit felt dazed for a moment. For the first time in such a long time, he felt soul-related fatigue during a battle. The Soul Great Bow was indeed powerful, but it consumed too much.

At most two shots, no more. Confirming this, the remaining World Thunder on Su Xiao's hand appeared, and he began to draw the lightning.

The heavenly thunder crashed down, caught and held by the tall blood energy phantom in its hands, turning into a lightning spear. Nocking, drawing, and shooting—the whole set of movements was completed in one go.

Bang!!

The bowstring vibrated, and the power of the Soul Great Bow was so great that it directly shattered the blood energy phantom. The Soul Great Bow also disintegrated, turning back into soul energy and merging into Su Xiao's body, which caused the scene before his eyes to double.

The lightning spear pierced through the interception of the missiles, pierced through the counter-attack of the heavy artillery, and even pierced through the laser shot from Kara's single eye, finally sinking into the giant eye and blasting Kara's massive head to pieces.

Kara's body, its head shattered, leaned backward. Just when everyone thought this giant monster was about to die, a massive single eye opened in the center of its torso.

World Thunder fell, gathering into a lightning spear in Su Xiao's hand. He piloted Barbados to assault diagonally downward at full speed. This was the final opportunity.

Su Xiao and Barbados seemed to have turned into a giant lightning spear, fiercely piercing into the massive single eye in front of Kara's chest.

Kara's body swayed. Its shattered head regenerated at high speed, and it roared while tilting its head back. Its giant hand grabbed Barbados, which had sunk into its chest, and pulled it out. In a very violent manner, it almost squeezed Barbados into a ball, finally throwing and smashing this "dragon ball" into the lake.

Kara, having basically regained its senses, felt incredibly refreshed. This "damn fly" had been circling it for so long, and it had finally been caught.

After Barbados hit the water, the surface of the lake was quickly dyed red, and then there was no movement.

Underwater, the bundle of potions tied in Barbados's stomach pouch shattered. With its constitution as a war creature, aided by the alchemical potions and the nourishment of biological energy, its body quickly stretched out. The broken bones were barely corrected, but many parts had grown misaligned and would need major repairs upon returning.

After its injuries had roughly recovered, Barbados didn't rush out of the water to assist Su Xiao, who had just sunk into Kara's body. Its dragon wings spread slightly, and like a massive and elegant underwater creature, it swam toward the distance.

On the lake surface, the wound on Kara's chest was healing. Inside the flesh-and-blood space, Su Xiao was half-crouched in the dimness. It appeared he had gained the advantage by getting inside the enemy, but one hidden danger had yet to emerge.

At the same time, behind a dirt slope in the distance, the Moon Apostle, whose neck was already in a cast, didn't know if she was possessed by a field reporter or what, but she was still there controlling her mechanical eye to record the battle.

"Stupid Master, run away!"

Fairy Lulu appeared. She used her cat claws to grab the Moon Apostle's hair, but ended up being caught by the Moon Apostle first.

"Why run? We aren't participating in the battle."

The Moon Apostle comforted Fairy Lulu, patting her head.

"That sand-sculpture that was always lurking nearby has already run away."

Fairy Lulu's tone was exceptionally anxious.

"Sand-sculpture? What sand-sculpture?"

"It's that one called Baja. Last time when I was attached to Big Daddy... *cough cough*... attached to Kuku Lin · Bai Ye, I recorded the lingering aura of that sand-sculpture. It ran off in that direction just a few seconds ago."

Hearing Fairy Lulu's words, the Moon Apostle's heart skipped a beat. She had had quite a bit of contact with Baja, and she knew very clearly that even if that magic eagle died, it wouldn't abandon Kuku Lin · Bai Ye in the middle of a fight. Right now, Kuku Lin · Bai Ye was inside Kara, yet that sand-sculpture had actually run away.

The Moon Apostle turned her head and said very seriously to Hao Mei: "Let's run."

Thump, thump, thump!

Kara hammered its chest with its giant arms, one blow after another. A large amount of acidic mist drifted out from its wounds; this was a defensive measure within its body, intended to eliminate Su Xiao.

The situation reached a stalemate. In the eyes of others, Su Xiao's black dragon mount had already died, and if he rushed out from inside Kara, he would only be able to retreat temporarily.

Inside the mountain in the shadows, Kain, having judged this situation, narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly dangerous. He wouldn't do things that harmed others without benefiting himself, but if harming others could benefit him, he was willing to do it.

This time, he actually had two goals. After accumulating intelligence for so long, he had gathered the following information: first, Su Xiao could develop the Zerg because he had a permanent summon named Jila.

This gave Kain an opportunity. His idea was that if Su Xiao died in battle, Jila would be an ownerless summon. As long as the setup was meticulous enough to control this Zerg mother named Jila as a summon, then he would be equivalent to replacing Su Xiao and becoming the third party in this world.

In Kain's view, since he had already made an enemy of Su Xiao, it naturally didn't matter if the hatred went a step further.

The previous situation, at first glance, was Kain waiting for an opportunity to seize Kara's kill reward, but in reality, Kain held a "let it be" attitude toward this. His true goal was to eliminate Su Xiao and seize ownership of the Sun Sacred Nest; this was what he valued most. There had been no opportunity before, but now there was.

"Bai Ye, you are in a bitter battle, you... need assistance."

Saying this to the end, Kain took out his communicator, pressed the call button, and said: "Release the dogs."

Kain's words had just fallen when a blast came from behind the continuous mountain range. A passage to an underground space was blown open, and countless "Horned Dogs" rushed out from within.

This was a very trashy imitation Zerg individual, not cultivated by a Zerg mother nest, but a batch of test products from the company. A simple comparison was that it would only take a hundred or so elite Demon Beasts to slaughter tens of thousands of these Horned Dogs.

Kain and the others walked out from the hidden mountain space. They stood on a cliff, looking out at the lake and Kara in front, while on their left and right sides, Horned Dog after Horned Dog rushed out.

This was all a trap set by Kain. He had received word earlier that Su Xiao was going to deal with Kara, which gave Kain the idea of seizing the Sun Sacred Nest.

Kain had made two preparations: on one side, he would kill Su Xiao, and on the other, he had already dispatched an assassination team from the top tier of the Eighth Tier, concentrating all the team's equipment and items that improved stealth characteristics on that three-person assassination squad. The mission of those three was to capture Jila alive.

And here at "Gaoze Lake," the way Kain was going to kill Su Xiao was not by ambushing Su Xiao, but by 'assisting' Su Xiao in battle.

Right now, Su Xiao was inside Kara, in a stalemate with it. Earlier, Kain had bought intelligence about Kara and learned of Kara's "World's Attachment" ability. After learning this news, Kain bought 70,000 Horned Dogs from the company member who sold the intelligence.

Kain's goal was to let Kara trigger the "World's Favor" effect to the max. When the number of enemies in the vicinity exceeded 500, 1,000, and 50,000, Kara would gain three types of buffs: "Restore 5% of maximum health every 3 seconds," "Crystallization ray interval reduced by 65%," and "External armor defense tier +2."

Counting Kara's own abilities, it was now "External armor defense tier +4," which had reached a level where it couldn't be beaten. Coupled with Kara's super-high-speed recovery from injuries, Su Xiao would definitely be trapped to death inside Kara.

This move by Kain could be described as just right. Of course, to achieve this, he paid that partner from the company a full 30,000 Soul Coins.

At first glance, Kain was sure to win, but there was a very important problem here: the partner Kain had in the company's forces was named Nicholas Caesar.

There was an even more critical problem: of the 30,000 Soul Coins Kain paid to purchase the intelligence and Horned Dogs, 10,000 had fallen into Su Xiao's hands.

In other words, this whole thing was a conspiracy between Su Xiao and Caesar. This had been planned in advance from the moment Su Xiao said in the meeting room that he would deal with Kara; that was just announcing that the plan was officially starting.

At the same time, in front of their own mother nest.

The Undead Girl, wearing a soft cloth hat, was full of smiles. For this plan, she, Caesar, and Su Xiao split the 30,000 Soul Coins equally, ten thousand each. This sudden happiness made the Undead Girl subconsciously blurt out that if there was such a good thing in the future, she must be remembered and called.

"You three, the three of you dealing with me alone, using numbers to bully the few, is very despicable."

The Undead Girl 'looked' at the three assassination-types in stealth mode in front of her. She snapped her fingers, and dense swarms of Undead Warriors rushed out from the space rift behind her.

After the three assassination-types in stealth saw this scene, their eyes revealed horror. They seemed to know why people always said the Undead-type was the lowest of the low; after developing all the way, the result was that it was just one of the types of minions the Undead-type could summon. This was enough to make one cry snot and tears.

On "Gaoze Lake," Horned Dog after Horned Dog rushed into the lake water. Kain watched this scene. He never thought these Horned Dogs could deal with Kara; his goal was just to make Kara stronger, thereby keeping Su Xiao here forever. In this way, Kain would successfully pick the peach.

The sound of muffled thunder came from above. Kain glanced at the World Thunder in the sky, guessing it was the work of Su Xiao inside Kara, which made him sigh in his heart: such a person, in the end, also died under schemes. The world is impermanent.

Inside Kara, Su Xiao, sitting cross-legged within the crystal shell, closed his eyes.

Kara's health had been restored to full, and it had gained the unsolvable defense of "External armor defense tier +4." Was everything Su Xiao did before in vain? Of course not.

Right now was the situation he had been waiting for. When dealing with Kara, it was inevitable that someone would come to stir up trouble. Since that was the case, he would take the initiative to let in the biggest one, which was the Hall of Valor.

Su Xiao had deliberately let Kara's health restore to full and gain the unsolvable defense of "External armor defense tier +4," otherwise, it wouldn't be safe enough inside Kara.

In the darkness, Su Xiao opened his eyes. The gold in the center of his pupils was exceptionally obvious; this was the color of World Thunder. He was drawing lightning with his elemental affinity.

In the past, this would be courting death, but at this moment, Su Xiao was inside Kara, and Kara was now in its peak full state, with the unsolvable defense of "External armor defense tier +4," which could significantly offset the power of the World Thunder.

Not only that, this place was a lake, which could further mitigate the impact after being struck by lightning, and in Su Xiao's storage space, there was a life-saving item like the 【Bud of Creation】. Although it might not necessarily be used this time, it could ensure Su Xiao's own safety without any mistakes.

"Bud of Creation · Tree's Blessing (Passive): When the Memory Fate-Marked Person's health drops below 0.5%, this item will be activated immediately, granting the user a high-tier invincible shield. The shield lasts for 2 seconds, during which the user will restore 50% health and 50% mana, and gain a large movement speed bonus."

Crack!

A bolt of angry thunder exploded in the sky. Hearing this loud noise, Kain, who had originally been in a "watching the show" attitude, stiffened. He looked up at the sky and found that the upper air had been blocked by a vortex formed by World Thunder.

Boom!!!

A terrifying lightning pillar over ten kilometers thick stood between heaven and earth, continuously pouring golden thunder downward.

Kain only felt a buzz in his ears, and everything before his eyes was a vast whiteness. Behind him, his hundred or so subordinates were instantly torn apart by the thunder, turning into fly ash.

Before meeting Kain, Su Xiao had seen people spend money to make things disappear, and he had seen people spend money to buy all kinds of rare treasures, but he had only met Kain as the unique one who spent money to seek death.
