Chapter 90: Our Composition—Is It Too Complex?

The Chaos warship kept booming as Xisi chased Abadon.

When the other warships realized Xisi only wanted to kill Abadon, they scattered outright.

Some even chose to break off from the formation, preparing to leave the battlefield.

Facing fewer warships left for him to land on and his Blessing dwindling, Abadon, forced with no choice, could only turn and attempt to spar with Xisi a few times.

But the result...

The onlookers could only see Xisi holding the spike on Abadon's head, letting the opponent continuously fire bombs at him, recklessly pressing Abadon's head onto the warship's outer deck and rubbing Abadon's face on the ship.

After all, Abadon's Blessing dwindles, while Xisi's Blessing flows continuously!

When Xisi lifted Abadon's blood‑splattered face, ready to flip it over and rub again.

Seeing that even slapping his face against Xisi couldn't budge Xisi, Abadon finally put down his weapon.

Then his eyes stared at Xisi, a ferocious angry grin:

"You think these gods are any good?"

"Just as you clear enemies for the Corpse Emperor, the Corpse Emperor's lackeys are dispatching a fleet to hunt you!"

Xisi's movement paused slightly; seeing this, Abadon's eyes flared again, as if he saw Xisi also being 'abandoned' by the Empire.

"Do you think that because you serve the Empire, the Empire will repay you?"

"Don't be foolish; the Empire will never allow a human who fraternizes with Green Skin and receives the evil god's Blessing."

"This Kiriman's Unyielding Expedition Fleet, I'm afraid, already has a whole sub‑fleet rushing to exterminate you and the mortals under your command!"

Abadon kept speaking, and the eyes in the void—aside from the Divine Emperor who reacted and angrily glared at Jianqi, the other eyes were momentarily stunned, then instantly all showed eager, even more 'fond' gazes toward Xisi.

Xisi indeed paused briefly, digesting the news.

Seeing this, Abadon seemed to finally find an opening and suddenly drew his demonic sword, slashing at Xisi!

But the Gods' Blessing, which had ceased to grow, upon learning that Xisi was labeled a traitor by the Empire, began to increase even more wildly!

The deities: Xisi no longer belongs to the Empire? How the hell didn't you say so earlier!!!

Abadon's demonic sword hadn't even made contact before it was forced back by surging Divine Light.

Even after the Divine Light, the Divine Emperor, reacting too late to bypass the Four Gods' obstruction to inform Kiriman, instead intensified the Blessing he cast on Xisi.

Its Blessing's strength was such that, even with Xisi's Hundredfold Amplification, it was the first time he felt a discomfort as if the Blessing would explode his body.

And as a response to the discomfort, the Emperor's dazzling golden light finally overwhelmed the radiance of the other gods!

Abadon watched, having exhausted his words and sneak attack, yet still unable to move Xisi; instead, Xisi's Divine Light grew even more exaggerated, and before him Xisi seemed to become a blazing golden sun, his momentary satisfaction instantly crushed by even greater suppressed resentment.

What's happening?

Why after I said that...

These Subspace toys are even more willing to spend resources now?!

Abadon couldn't understand, while feeling the surging Emperor Blessing on himself, Xisi seemed to finally catch on.

Then, withdrawing his attention from the approaching Imperial Unyielding Expedition Fleet, Xisi directly lifted the spike atop Abadon's head and slammed it harder against the warship's armored deck!

At the same time, while pressing and rubbing Abadon forcefully, he said:

"This matter can wait until I've beaten you to my heart's content!"

Repeating the initial action, but this time, in outsiders' eyes, Xisi finally became the Divine Emperor's sole Divine Selection.

At least in the eyes of the State Church Priest, Fanluosi, and others, the Xisi who only emanated golden light looked utterly pleasing.

And Abadon, unable to move or even drag himself, his face constantly rubbing the armored deck, finally showed a fierce glare in his eyes.

He didn't know what new bargain he whispered to the gods in his heart, but after a moment of silent muttering, Abadon produced a strange shard and suddenly thrust it at Xisi like a dagger.

This time, even with the Gods' Blessing, the shard still pierced Xisi's body.

The sudden attack brought a power completely different from the Gods, flowing through the shard into him.

Although this power was quickly suppressed by the Gods' Blessing, Xisi nonetheless paused for a moment because of it.

Abadon seized the chance, his body again radiating the Four Gods' brilliance and a power belonging to Washituoer, and he suddenly vanished into mid‑air.

Even before departing, Abadon tried to retrieve the shard, but the reacting Xisi forcibly kept it.

Along with the spike atop Abadon's head that Xisi had been holding all along.

All of this happened extremely quickly: first the mysterious shard, then the Four Gods not wanting Xisi to die and also not wanting Abadon to die before Xisi arrived, plus some survival gear Washituoer gave Abadon; the three combined allowed him to escape Xisi's grasp.

Although Xisi initially knew that as long as he didn't explicitly defect to Chaos for a day, the Four Gods wouldn't let Abadon die, Xisi still lightly clasped his hands that hadn't beaten Abadon enough, a hint of regret on his face.

He casually tucked away Abadon's spike, intending to pull it out from time to time in the future to tease Abadon.

Then he glanced at the mysterious shard at his waist that could easily pierce his own armor.

After all, Abadon had been beaten that badly; before leaving, he was still obsessively thinking of taking the shard with him.

He pulled it out forcefully, and the shard drew a bit of blood.

The ferocious wound visibly healed under the competing Blessing, and the armor reconstituted itself under the golden light.

Xisi flew in mid‑air, carefully examined the shard in his hand that held no memory, and after a while he still put the shard away, turning to head toward the last few ships of the Imperial Side.

At the center of the scant dozen‑plus ships now, the flagship was a brand‑new Moon‑class cruiser bearing no insignia.

When the crew aboard the cruiser saw Xisi returning, they hurried to the hangar deck to greet him.

Also in the squad was Kailuo, who specialized in transporting warships.

Seeing Kailuo, Xisi realized this Moon‑class ship was the cruiser the Falomoer family had given him.

Then without waiting for Xisi to speak, Sha Hansen and Fanluosi already stepped forward with urgent faces:

"Sir, whatever Terra's fleet does, it must be due to a misunderstanding."

"We'll set out immediately to Terra to explain the situation to you."

Fanluosi and Sha Hansen wore anxious expressions, apparently having learned through internal channels that Xisi had been labeled a traitor by the Empire.

Even in the eyes they cast at Xisi, a massive terror was unmistakably evident.

Because the others could be ignored, but as the two who personally witnessed the battle, they could hardly believe how desperate it was for the Empire after Xisi fled to the Chaos camp.

Xisi gave the two no reply; instead, he removed his helmet, took a deep breath, felt the Blessing of the gods gradually fading from his body, and turned toward the Bridge:

"I will hunt Abadon."

The crowd was stunned, glanced at the battered small fleet and the defeated remnants beside them, and recalled the terrifying fleets Abadon brought back from each expedition.

If it hadn't been Xisi who said that, everyone might not even bother to lift an eyelid.

Sha Hansen and Fanluosi heard this, exchanged a glance, and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Fanluosi hurriedly took two quick steps forward and deliberately asked:

"Is it to utterly eradicate this Empire traitor?"

Fanluosi expected Xisi to nod, but Xisi shook his head outright.

Fanluosi was even more stunned, and then Xisi spoke very naturally:

"I will avenge my kids!"

The crowd: "......???"

The gods: "......???"

Gao Mao: "Even more love."

The crowd fell silent, and besides genuinely despising Abadon for killing his fine kids, Xisi...

It was also because Xisi finally recalled the memory of this fragment; if Xisi is not mistaken, even without him seeking Abadon, Washituoer and Abadon would, for the fragment in their hands, go to any lengths to find him.

Rather than waiting for the other side to strike, Xisi might as well take the initiative and attack!

"But our forces... might be too few?"

Fanluosi tried not to dwell on Xisi's reasoning; after all, they were already being hunted by the Empire, and still thinking of hunting Abadon, Fanluosi no longer dared to hope for much.

He only cautiously pointed out that the current number of troops was somewhat too low.

Xisi, after listening, also glanced around, looking at the utterly defeated remnants before him; without the gods' limitless Blessing, chasing Abadon while fending off the Empire's pursuers behind him seemed indeed hard to fight.

Only Xisi's front foot frowned, and his rear foot seemed to respond, as a sudden A-space Fluctuation appeared on the wide deck.

The people around them were instantly startled, thinking Abadon still had the nerve to launch a counterattack, and they all raised their weapons.

Then, from the A-space Fluctuation, a group of Thousand Son Chaos Astat clad in blue‑gold Power Armor emerged.

Leading them was a Thousand Son Supreme Wizard radiating vibrant spiritual energy.

"Lord Sisi, we have hurried here specifically to help you repel the Empire's attack, and..."

"Hunt Abadon!"

The crowd was stunned, and Sha Hansen and Fanluosi, looking at the Chaos Astat that spoke those words, couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Is Jianqi this shameless?!"

And the two Judges, not yet having time to immediately sentence these rebels, were followed closely behind the Thousand Son by even more A-space Fluctuations.

When the crimson‑armored Terror, the purple‑golden splendid Color Sin Warriors, and even the Naguo Plague Doctor who had deliberately adopted a normal appearance, all rushed onto the deck.

Facing these Chaos rebels who all offered support to Xisi, Sha Hansen and Fanluosi found the words that had been at the tip of their tongues suddenly stuck.

Seeing this scene, one might even think Xisi had already defected to Chaos!

At the same time, not only were the two Judges extremely displeased, but even Jianqi's Thousand Sons were very upset at the sight of these 'allied' troops trying to snatch them.

But before Xisi could speak, the A-space Fluctuation that should have ended suddenly resurfaced!

This time, what emerged was no longer rebels, but the Emperor's exclusive A-space Demon: the Cursed Warrior!

It even, to demonstrate the number of Cursed Warriors belonging to the protagonist, directly overpowered the others!

When the Cursed Warrior appeared, everyone fell completely silent, just looking at each other, wondering in their heads, "Is this right?"

Fanluosi and the other mortals widened their eyes, unable to help but stare at each other:

These guys actually have a damn organized team now?!

The scene fell silent.

Logically, all enemies should have opened fire immediately, but in the end they all looked at the adult who was nominally theirs at that moment, unsure whether they should fire on the nearby 'allies'.

Xisi, meanwhile, looked at the 'gathering of heroes' under his command, plus the Sith Kids who had also fled to the warship.

After staring blankly for a while, all he could muster was a wordless stare at the gods' forced insertion of people.

"Our composition..."

"Might it be too complicated?"
