Chapter 715: Chapter 359: The Last Battle of the Ninth Martial God (Part 2)

Under the command of Emperor Alexander the Great, as sung by the world, the use of the "Long Spear" reached its pinnacle. The Macedonian army would carry the six-meter-long Sarissa Long Spear and form the world-renowned "Macedonian phalanx," with all the spears pointed straight ahead.

Dense as a forest, even dense as a thicket of tall grass, the long spears would create an oppressive black mass. The Macedonian phalanx was the most classic Dense Formation, relying on the proximity of each person to maximize its power.

The Romans defeated the Macedonians by relying on their infantry. In that same era, no cavalry could charge directly at such a spear formation.

And now, Xiang Shan seemed to have received Darius III’s command, hopelessly charging towards the phalanx of spears like the doomed chariot units.

Except he was facing a "Divine Spear" whose length far exceeded ten thousand li, measured in meters in diameter.

The thick beam of light was itself invisible. As it passed through the air, it ionized the air, forming a visible path. Dust and other materials in space would also cause scattering. It’s just that there was too little matter in this region.

The almost invisible Grim Reaper was lurking.

Xiang Shan was not without means of resistance. The outermost layer of his coating was already close to the most ideal mirror finish currently achievable. And each frame was equipped with the Gang Qi Weapon System, essentially having a mirror that could continually repair itself. The metal dust that Xiang Shan carried this time was also specialized, with its reflectivity particularly enhanced.

All of this was to counter the laser.

But all these defense measures, stacked together, could not achieve "one hundred percent" defense.

And these lasers from Yawgmoth could power the Space Fleet and countless cities—this was even after several energy transfers and the majority of the energy had been lost.

The energy river stretching across space was terrifying in scale. Even if Xiang Shan could block ninety-nine percent of it, the remaining one percent would be enough to vaporize his Prosthetic Body.

But there was still a tiny bit of buffering time.

As long as Xiang Shan could timely evade the area engulfed by the laser, his survival could be guaranteed.

But the Martial Studies of Gang Qi still had one problem.

Metal Aerosol would block electromagnetic signals—naturally, it could also interfere with his control over the Prosthetic Body.

It was just betting one’s life...

It was just a gamble.

Why was there such a crazy plan?

Why was there such a strong desire?

It was forgotten in the moment of the charge.

The Martial God placed his life on the gambler’s table of probability, charge!

In the end, the Ninth Martial God and twelve of the top machines broke through a layer of the black barrier. Fissures spread across the tens of thousands of square meters of battery panels.

Beneath the battery panels was yet another layer of battery panels.

The laser emitters couldn’t turn to this angle, and they were safe now.

This was a floating continent. Countless battery panels, at a relatively stationary speed, orbited the sun together. These gigantic structures were connected by power cables, with Magnetic Field Generators maintaining the relative distance between the massive battery panels.

And the giant battery panels constituted the entirety of this world.

This place resembled some virtual game-like world with cheap modeling but extremely detailed texture materials.

Among the numerous black rectangles, there were a few tower-like structures, interspersed with pure white drones.

There was nothing here.

According to official records, Yawgmoth’s Biological Brain was located here. The Kings would also arrive here for meetings. But beyond that, no human could reach this place.

No one had seen Yawgmoth for a very long time.

[Yawgmoth!]The electromagnetic signal carried Xiang Shan’s roar. Like a storm drowning out sound, the violent solar wind almost swept away the signal filled with anger and hatred.

[If you are here, then get out here!]

Even if it was just to prove that "Yawgmoth isn’t here," "Yawgmoth’s biological brain is already dead," it would still be a victory for justice.

[Come out, Yawgmoth!]

A body raised its hand, tearing apart another huge solar panel.

[Enough, don’t destroy these precious facilities anymore.]Yawgmoth’s figure appeared behind Xiang Shan.

But in that instant, Xiang Shan felt bewildered... and a chill.

He saw Yawgmoth standing right behind him.

In human form.

It was a lean young man with black hair, with somewhat high cheekbones, draped in a white lab coat, even holding a book in his hand.

Just like the first time Xiang Shan had seen him.

But... human technology at present cannot create fabrics that exist in the corona layer, nor can it create bionic materials that exist in the corona layer. To operate in the corona layer, one must be enveloped in a magnetic field and a reflective coating. And there must be a special vacuum thermal insulation layer inside.

So this must be an AR model.

But ah...

When an enemy can create an AR model in your field of vision, you have already been ruthlessly crushed.

But...

"Why?"

Xiang Shan didn’t understand.

"This is Inga’s own work... Inga started from scratch to write this firewall. Even if I downloaded resources with vulnerabilities a long time ago, it shouldn’t be... why..."

"Because that woman was completely wrong," Yawgmoth walked two steps, jumping off the edge of a solar panel. His body "fell" in a manner matching visual intuition but not the direction of solar gravity, then stood in front of Xiang Shan, "Welcome, my fear, my demon, the strongest hero in my cognition."

Xiang Shan’s hands trembled slightly. He suddenly realized this was a trap.

The ending was predetermined from the start.

Because...

"Yes, to put it in a way you like... you are the false hero I created," Yawgmoth sneered.

"This is..." Xiang Shan covered his forehead, "why... it shouldn’t be... I clearly... I remember..."

"Charlie, Carlori, Lucy, James, Noli?" Yawgmoth sighed, "You still remember these names, right? Ah, yes, and ’Kass.’ At the time, I was on vacation, indulging in some... hiss, I don’t even remember what form of entertainment it was. Probably just a random string of names plucked from some novel or TV show."

Xiang Shan looked at Yawgmoth, shocked to his core.

"I prepared for you the excuse of ’comprehensive amnesia caused by the Restoring Enzyme’, but in reality, you can’t remember any details related to those bandmates. You could find that there’s a band that fits your memory playing in Mars’ Drake District, the discrepancy in the names from the record being because the band uses stage names for performances, and you knew their real names. But in reality, they also don’t match the descriptions in your memory."

"They’re just a bunch of vermin. Unworthy of the title of human, they gave up their human rights, and in the end, sold their memories, personalities, and biological brains to the Scientific Knight Order, only wishing to soar to the heavens in their final moments of consciousness. I borrowed their character settings."
