Chapter 354: Brother, she's so unreliable

But this mission...... its name is the two words 'make up'.

Zhang Jie frowned at the black creature the size of a planet before him.

Familiar life drain—this ability appearing on the opponent is surely related to the blue sapphire.

Whether it is the culprit harming the blue sapphire or the blue sapphire itself, the current Zhang Jie must defeat it.

Now he, with the aid of Crimson Tempered Diamond, barely has the power to destroy a planet, but that strike merely left a notch on the opponent's eyeball.

It's obvious that he now hasn't reached the ability to shatter stars with a casual flick like Lin Ran.

Lin Ran is probably on her way now; when that guy fires a Star-piercing Spear, whether the blue sapphire is inside or not, it will surely be smashed to nothing.

"If that's the case....."

"Everyone! Retreat quickly!"

Zhang Jie's voice, transmitted precisely via communication equipment into every Alliance member's ear, caused the Alliance's bio-fleet to orderly withdraw backward, clearing a large area.

In the next moment, two terrifying Star-devouring Giant Beasts appeared in this space, their bodies entirely composed of unknown black mist; obviously, they are the Nightmare Giant Beasts summoned by Zhang Jie.

Seeing this scene, the opponent was momentarily stunned; it had seen Star-devouring Giant Beasts before, but such a form and state of appearance exceeded its imagination.

Its few remaining faculties were frantically thinking; taking advantage of the opponent's stunned moment, a Star-devouring Giant Beast opened its maw wide, swallowed the opponent into its belly, and began chewing incessantly.

Zhang Jie instantly felt the pressure drop; watching the Nightmare Giant Beast chew nonstop, he inexplicably felt somewhat amused.

Although the Nightmare Giant Beast is not a true Deep Space Giant Beast, its massive size is no trivial matter; relying on just this one temporarily suppressed the opponent, which pleased Zhang Jie greatly.

At this moment, part of the nanomachines on Zhang Jie's body suddenly separated, gradually forming a humanoid shape, and casually patted his shoulder.

"??"

"Yunxiao?"

The nanomachines behind him formed a shape identical to Yunxiao's, and upon hearing Zhang Jie's call, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Mm, it's me."

"Brother, you're in danger, right?"

"....."

Upon hearing the soft, milky "brother" call, Zhang Jie's old face flushed; perhaps only his 118-form could bear such an address without burden.

Meanwhile, the Nightmare Giant Beast chewing the disaster before it suddenly stalled; its body was gradually fading, the black mist composing its form being continuously absorbed, and it would soon be unable to chew.

"Do you need my help?"

Yunxiao glanced at Zhang Jie with narrowed eyes, while this function that can appear anytime anywhere beside him is her backup plan.

Although not her true self present, when facing some critical events, one need not be completely in the dark.

Once she senses possible danger near Zhang Jie, she will descend beside him through the nanomachines' form.

"Then please trouble yourself."

Zhang Jie grinned; what he now wants to do is split the thing before him in half to see whether what he seeks lies inside.

Originally relying on himself, this goal was somewhat difficult, but with Yunxiao present, it becomes easy.

"Help me cut it in half."

"Mm!"

As the words fell, Zhang Jie suddenly felt his heat reservoir being rapidly drawn away; he looked over in surprise.

Yunxiao this guy seems to have figured him out together with the Intelligent Machine Empress; this practiced extraction technique—who would believe it wasn't specially researched?

As the nanomachines kept assembling, four blade-like components extended forward; then a huge strange weapon appeared on the Crimson Tempered Diamond's body, aiming at the black substance that had just broken open the beast's abdomen.

"Make sure to hold it steady."

The weapon began charging; thanks to the heat reservoir's supply, charging became extremely rapid.

Zhang Jie could already feel its terrifying, unmatched destructive power; accompanied by tremendous vibration, a light wave like a slash was fiercely fired.

"!!!"

In just an instant, the monster that was breaking open the beast's abdomen, together with the beast about to shatter, was cut in half.

This strike exceeded Zhang Jie's imagination, and he also saw, as he wished, the substance inside the monster.

Although it was pitch black as he imagined, he yet saw some sparkling things within.

Those substances were tiny, but Zhang Jie's eyesight was good enough to clearly see them.

"That is....."

A faint psionic pulse came; before Zhang Jie could think further, the split disaster suddenly roared, its halved body swiftly reassembling and then lunging wildly at that star.

"Not good!"

Their attack obviously angered it, and upon contacting that unlucky star, the disaster's body began to swell enormously, rapidly devouring the star.

Subsequently, a single entropy disaster kept separating off, flying toward this place.

Zhang Jie stepped forward to stop it, but there was no time; its speed was like being on hormones, so fast that even Yunxiao was shocked—both could only watch helplessly as it, like a huge shovel, gulped down half the star in one bite.

This sight made Yunxiao furrow her brows; she felt the situation was becoming tricky, and since her true self wasn't here, she couldn't exert her full power.

She looked at Zhang Jie with some worry.

"Has that spear-wielding guy not arrived yet?"

Zhang Jie blinked, realizing she meant Lin Ran, and could only smile.

"It should be soon."

"Brother, she's so unreliable~"

"To have you hold the fort alone like this—I wouldn't do that!"

In the next moment, Yunxiao only felt a chill on her buttocks, then a familiar sensation came—a red light shot from beside them like a meteor, instantly streaking toward the disaster.

"It's the Star-piercing Spear!"

Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives—Lin Ran doesn't know where she is, but this Star-piercing Spear already explains everything.

Before the person appeared, the spear arrived first; the powerful Star-piercing Spear on the clothing instantly shattered the star ahead together with the heavenly disaster.

"Damn it! You say who's unreliable!!!!"
