Chapter 298: Can This Thing Be Used Like This?

As the guardian of the Alert Star, the Dead Spirit Overlord overseeing the construction of the Black Stone Core.

Wukaituo's daily routine is far less fulfilling than that of other Dead Spirit Overlords.

Every day consists of continuously watching the Black Stone Array construction progress and how many humans the living laboratory needs.

Then he constantly dispatches his Dead Spirit troops to capture humans.

Beyond that, Wukaituo's days appear boring and repetitive.

So when he watches a scene of another group of humans taken from a shelter, before those humans can despairingly pray, Wukaituo himself immediately mimics them and speaks:

"May the First Saint bless~"

Pretending to learn the desperate prayers of those human women and children, Wukaituo turns off the projection after finishing.

Then he looks at the huge Xisi portrait hanging on the other side, and Wukaituo simply surveys it with an appreciative, ceremonial gaze.

He then becomes bored again.

"These humans, even in death, only say that one line!"

After speaking, Wukaituo is about to find more amusement when a Dead Spirit Nobility rushes in from outside.

Seeing his subordinate Nobility display a long-unseen urgency, Wukaituo is momentarily stunned.

Then, instead of any negative reaction, his Prosthetic Eyes noticeably brighten.

"What's the emergency?"

Seeing that something finally arrived, Wukaituo's communicator rises a few tones.

The Nobility, observing Wukaituo's reaction, halts, then looks at his superior with clear irritation.

Since a Dead Spirit's living metal face shows no expression, emotions are conveyed solely through gestures and Prosthetic Eye brightness; otherwise Wukaituo would have to reprimand this disrespectful subordinate.

However, the information the Nobility then conveys leaves Wukaituo with no time to contemplate that direction.

Without dialogue, a massive image is transmitted directly.

Watching the incoming image, Wukaituo finally comes to a complete halt.

Because in his Prosthetic Eye, he sees a Dead Spirit squad supported by a gigantic floating Obelisk.

Being directly pierced by three humans on the opposite side!

Yes! Three humans!

Wusikair's technique isn't even permitted by Xisi on the front lines.

Xisi, together with Sakan and Taitus, brutally pierces that Dead Spirit squad.

Sakan and Taitus fully transform into humanoid counter‑vehicle weapons, charging into one Obelisk vehicle after another.

As for the ordinary Dead Spirit infantry and heavy infantry,

Humans who once could fight now fall into despair, becoming the atmosphere cheer squad for the three of Xisi!

When Wukaituo watches the whole scene and sees his entire squad utterly annihilated by those three, his mechanical face remains expressionless, yet the light in his Prosthetic Eyes flickers with a distinct 'multicolored' hue.

"Why didn't you send reinforcements?"

After holding back for a while, Wukaituo finally looks at his subordinate.

While hearing Wukaituo's accusation, the Nobility's Prosthetic Eye also shines vividly.

He even takes a hesitant half‑step backward, appearing somewhat shy.

"Sent..."

"That's what you're seeing now."

Wukaituo is stunned, gazes blankly at his subordinate, then suddenly realizes that a regular patrol would never have a floating Obelisk.

Having floating Obelisks, and several at once, might not even be the first wave of reinforcements.

But upon this thought, an even larger doubt instantly surfaces in Wukaituo's eyes.

He stares blankly at the Nobility, then his mechanical personality core quickly recalls another matter.

"That's not right."

"Weren't these guys heading to the Black Stone Peak earlier?"

"You're sending me this now; you can't be trying to tell me..."

At this point, Wukaituo finally straightens up.

Simultaneously, his Prosthetic Eye shines to the limit, staring intently at his subordinate.

Seeing his superior finally react, the Nobility also halts his retreat, extending a hand to play another video for Wukaituo.

But while playing the video, Wukaituo actually sees on a completely metal‑made Dead Spirit body......

Tremble!

No, why are you shaking???

Wukaituo's personality core clicks; his super brain instantly understands that this is his subordinate's extreme fright response.

But the problem is......

"What are you afraid of?"

And your reaction makes me uneasy as well!

Wukaituo doesn't ask, because the trembling scene of the Nobility has already been projected before him.

In the image, a massive number of Dead Spirit infantry dare not fire, instead holding their Gauss Rifles upright, advancing relentlessly into the Black Stone Peak, engaging in close combat with the three disguised-as-human unknown entities on the opposite side.

This is the Black Stone Peak, not only the core of the Alert Star's Black Stone Array but also the core of this spirit‑driven dead zone.

Here, Dead Spirits truly dare not recklessly fire Gauss beams.

Even close‑quarters combat is halted; as soon as Xisi, with Sakan and Taitus, leans against a Black Stone Obelisk,

the Dead Spirits must cease attacking.

Thus, the three of Xisi are virtually unbeatable.

Wu Kaituo at this moment looked over, and the first image was Sakan and Taitus, each of them having piled a mountain of Dead Spirits beneath their feet.

He had thought Sakan and Taitus were already formidable, but looking further beyond those two, he could see that the seemingly most normal human had, beneath his feet, not a Dead Spirit mountain but an entire Dead Spirit mountain range!

However, just watching this, Wu Kaituo was not overly frightened.

He was startled and doubtful, but only to that extent; he did not understand why his subordinates were so terrifying.

The Nobility, seeing that their own superior had not yet noticed, could not bother with any sense of rank.

They directly aimed the view at two locations.

The first was Xisi, who had cut a Dead Spirit mountain range directly beneath his feet.

Red Sword Black Spear looked rather normal.

But as the Nobility zoomed in, Wu Kaituo finally noticed something amiss.

He watched the divine energy flashes on Xisi's body, and at first even thought his viewing equipment was malfunctioning.

He repeatedly forced a refresh, looked again, and indeed saw the divine light flashing continuously; Wu Kaituo's eyes were finally filled with terror.

"Under the Black Stone Peak..."

"He can still use Subspace power?"

"The so‑called great demons have arrived; not only will they not use power, even their forms will be directly dispersed."

"This kid not only wasn't dispersed, but is fighting so fiercely—what on earth is this thing?"

Wu Kaituo was shocked, and the Nobility had not yet finished what they wanted Wu Kaituo to see.

He did not wait for Wu Kaituo to continue observing Xisi, and forcibly switched the view to the other side.

In the frame, a Mechanical Sage was continuously installing devices onto the core Black Stone Obelisk.

At first Wu Kaituo did not react, but after carefully watching the Mechanical Sage's motions, he stared blankly, very seriously.

"???"

"It's not used that way..."

Wu Kaituo was speechless, but then seemed to recall something; he suddenly reached out and switched the view back to Xisi.

Then he kept toggling back and forth for a while, and Wu Kaituo's view instantly zoomed out to encompass the entire Alert Star!

And then......

Wu Kaituo's whole body shivered!
