CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 242: GAMMA ILLUSION, LOW-END VERSION (TWO IN ONE)_2

"Beep... Successfully evaded the target, alarm dismissed."

Watching the two "monsters" on the screen being left behind at high speed, Luanyan and Flower Eye instinctively let out a sigh of relief.

If the pursuit by these two Drue Star People had continued, it would have been a significant headache.

"Beep... Alarm..."

Suddenly, an extreme radiance appeared on the virtual screen, and the alarm sounded again.

But before the alarm could finish broadcasting, an oppressive force engulfed the entire spacecraft. The internal equipment shuddered violently, emitting strained and ominous noises.

In an instant, Luanyan and Flower Eye sensed danger. Magic Eye decisively unleashed its glow.

They were meticulously chosen Five-eyed Demons from their respective families, their reaction speed and crisis-handling abilities both first-rate.

Magic Eye projected a phantom of a giant beast. The massive tortoise shell expanded within the spacecraft, shielding everyone inside.

In the next moment, the radiant beam descending from the sky collided ferociously with the giant tortoise shell.

"Boom!!"

A deafening explosion rang out in the sky as unimaginable force erupted, sending Light Energy shock waves sweeping across heaven and earth.

Though the tortoise-shell monster was at the Nightmare Five Stars level, even it seemed to struggle against such raw power.

"Roar..."

The monstrous tortoise let out a cry, transforming into a sphere. It plummeted to the ground, creating friction with the air that ignited blazing flames, and crashed onto the icy surface below with an impact that left behind a massive crater with a diameter of over a thousand meters.

Inside the crater, Luanyan and Flower Eye pushed the pale-faced Charming Eyes toward Swordfish Eye.

"Swordfish Eye, the spacecraft is destroyed. Those Drue Star People will surely catch up to us.

You need to escort Miss Charming Eyes back to Demon Eye Base City while we hold off the pursuers."

Swordfish Eye looked panicked, "What? Me? Lords, I... I can’t..."

"Then you hold off the pursuers, and we’ll escort Miss Charming Eyes."

"Lords, if not me in Hell, who else? Leave escorting Miss Charming Eyes to me!"

Swordfish Eye puffed out his chest, shouldered the still-dazed Charming Eyes, and darted off at full speed.

Luanyan: "..."

Flower Eye: "..."

"What’s Hell?"

"Apparently an expression from Earth."

"What does it mean?"

"It means escorting Miss Charming Eyes is a miserable task."

"Hmm... Indeed, staying close to Miss Charming Eyes truly is wretched."

Their eyes emitted white light, and the remaining Monster Puppets were sent out en masse to cover Swordfish Eye’s retreat.

But when they flew out from the giant crater, they discovered that the so-called pursuers amounted to only one.

As they took a closer look, they saw a Light Giant standing firmly on the ground, emitting vast and mysterious radiance.

"Is it from the Giant God Race?"

"Doesn’t quite seem so."

"I’m not sensing any threat from him; his strength is inferior to ours. Quickly, let’s finish this."

"Alright."

With that, the tortoise-shell monster crawled out of the crater, shielding the two beneath it.

Meanwhile, nine Nightmare Five Stars monsters either stomped on the ground or soared through the skies, their terrifying aura sweeping across the land as they charged toward the Light Giant.

Over here, sensing the oppressive force from these monsters, Qin Shou hesitated, raised both hands, and shot upward into the sky.

Nine Nightmare Five Stars monsters—there’s no way to win such a fight.

"Ahh!!"

In mid-air, several flying monsters unleashed horrifying light beams from their mouths, slicing through the heavens with terrifying speed and aiming directly at Qin Shou.

"Boom!!!"

The light beams distorted the air intensely, their energy roaring and once again plunging Qin Shou into a dire life-or-death scenario.

"Hah!"

Qin Shou snapped his fingers, his form turning ethereal. Inside his body, the Magic Mirror Core absorbed large amounts of Light Energy. Suddenly, Power-type Tiga and High-flying-type Tiga split off from the giant’s body, standing before Qin Shou with their hands raised, summoning two Rainbow Shields.

"Boom..."

The terrifying energy beams hit the Rainbow Shields, erupting with shock waves spanning thousands of meters. The two Tiga illusions shattered like mirrors, and the residual energy enveloped Qin Shou.

Seeing the giant vanish, Luanyan and Flower Eye began retracting the Monster Puppets, preparing to chase in the direction Swordfish Eye fled.

"Screech!!"

Suddenly, two ear-splitting cries reverberated through the skies. A giant eagle monster and a massive Winged Dragon were already closing in.

Two Nightmare Five Stars flying monsters posed considerable trouble for Luanyan and Flower Eye.

Despite their ability to control ten Nightmare Five Stars monsters.

"Luanyan, I’ll hold them off; go check on Miss Charming Eyes."

"Alright, be careful."

Luanyan leaped onto the back of a flying Monster Puppet and flew off in the direction Swordfish Eye fled.

Flower Eye, watching Luanyan leave, turned to control the Monster Puppets, rushing to meet the two "flying monsters."

...

"Hah..."

A black shadow enveloped the blossomed bird Monster Puppet, with a giant beast roaring overhead.

"Swordfish Eye, get up here."

From the back of the giant beast, Luanyan commanded Swordfish Eye.

Without hesitation, Swordfish Eye dragged Charming Eyes alongside him and soared to Luanyan’s position.

"Lord Luanyan, Lord Flower Eye, he..." Swordfish Eye hesitated.

Luanyan glanced at the silent Charming Eyes, choosing to ignore Swordfish Eye.

"Miss Charming Eyes, Flower Eye is holding off the enemies for us. You must understand the gravity of the situation."

Charming Eyes squatted on the giant beast’s back, her gaze vacant.

"How could this happen? I’m a noble Six-eyed Demon! How could I be driven into such a situation by those lowly Drue Star People?"

Luanyan shook his head. As long as she stayed quiet, this was manageable.

"Roar!!"

"Hah..."

From afar, a symphony of beasts resounded in the high skies. Countless flying monsters, speaking in human tongues, boldly charged toward Luanyan and the others.

"Look, it’s the Five-eyed Demons."

"They’re the ones who captured our comrades; stop them..."

"Kill them; don’t let them escape!"

In an instant, Light Energy beams crisscrossed the sky, enveloping the Nightmare Five Stars Monster Puppets.

Luanyan’s expression darkened, cursing the persistence of the Drue Star People.

Magic Eye launched two white beams, dispatching two flying Monster Puppets that unleashed energy to intercept the incoming assault.

"Boom!"

Using the terrifying shock waves as cover, Luanyan directed the puppets to fly leftward.

"Look, they’re over there! Kill them!"

"Kill them; they dared dissect our Drue Star People; they must pay the price!"

"Drue Star People who refuse to be slaves, attack them all!"

To the left, hundreds of flying monsters emerged, flooding the mountains and skies.

Luanyan ground his teeth, adjusting their course once again.

"Damn it, how do they know which route we’re taking..."

As a Level 3, Star 5 powerhouse, he shouldn’t have to fear these mere grunts.

But the sheer number of Drue Star People made it impossible to avoid getting bogged down.

Luanyan was well aware that the Drue team sent to hunt the traitors this time was not weak, and if they caught up, escape would become unlikely.

After trying two different routes, Luanyan had no choice but to head toward the east.

"Look, Brother Sun was right! These Demon Eye Star People are really choosing to break out from here!"

To the east, hundreds of monsters occupied the mountaintops and airspace, speaking in human tongues with excitement.

"Go, bring that big one down!"

"Kill!!"

"Boom..."

Monsters all around the mountains roared at the sky. Dense energy beams fired relentlessly, resembling mobile artillery units determined to annihilate Luanyan and the others.

The Drue Star People lying in ambush included not just Unbreakable Realm Four Stars, but even Five-star-level figures. Luanyan’s Nightmare Five Stars Monster Puppets couldn’t hold an advantage.

"Roar..."

Under the barrage of energy, the giant beast smoked heavily, crying out as it spiraled downward.

Seeing this, numerous Drue Star People immediately charged toward its crash site.

"Swordfish Eye, take Miss Charming Eyes and leave..."

Within the crater, Luanyan wiped his soot-covered cheeks and turned to order Swordfish Eye.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he noticed Swordfish Eye had already carried Charming Eyes, slipping away over several hundred meters, hidden within the forest.

Luanyan: "..."

This guy is certainly quick on his feet.

Well enough; he’s smart and should be able to get Miss Charming Eyes back to the base city.

White light gleamed in his eyes as the remaining two Monster Puppets roared forth.

Eyes blazing with determination, Luanyan manipulated the two Nightmare Five Stars Monster Puppets to charge bravely toward the Drue Star People’s monstrous army.

This time, survival was impossible.

But as long as Miss Charming Eyes was safe, it was a worthy sacrifice!

"Haha, to dedicate everything for the noble Six-eyed Nobles!"

Amid the flames of battle, Luanyan burst into hysterical laughter.

...

On the outskirts of the battlefield, Brother Monkey, in the guise of a scrawny teenager, perched on a giant stone, lounging with crossed legs and munching on sunflower seeds, watching the chaos unfold.

He handed half of his seeds to Qin Shou beside him, chatting casually.

"Hey Lao Qin, you were flying wild just now. If it weren’t for your giant form, we’d probably be collecting your corpse right now."

Qin Shou scoffed, "I was just testing out a new skill! Besides, you saw it too—the illusions replicated using the Magic Mirror Core are pretty impressive, boosting strength several times over in a short period."

"So, what’s this move called?" Brother Monkey asked offhandedly.

"Gamma Illusion!"
