Chapter 655: Chapter 402: Are There So Many Great Terrors in Our Fallen Star Domain?! (6K)_2

As the commander of the campaign, he determined that the Duke could hold on, yet he also had to guard against unexpected risks, such as the White Robed Blue Star who had yet to show himself... Therefore, his choice not to intervene at this moment was quite sensible, and no one could fault him for it.

Moreover, his judgment was similar to that of the Bloody Duke—this Light Red War Puppet would certainly not last long.

"Could it be that this War Puppet has two combat modes, with the last battle against the Ox Demon in its normal state, and now, in a frenzied energy outburst state?"

Like the normal and Inhuman States, or the Mythic Stance, it made sense for the Candela Empire to design War Puppets with two operational modes based on these principles... even though the Bloody Emperor did not understand the reasoning behind it.

He began to recall.

Last time, when the Light Red Puppet fought the Ox Demon, the energy output rate was indeed not high, and the external energy blasts were used only a few times, relying mostly on speed, strength, and an incomparably hard body for battle.

He had been surprised at the time that the Light Red War Puppet, clearly no match for the Ox Demon, had a body that even the mightiest strikes of the gods could not scratch... But if this Puppet was designed with the goal of briefly contending with the Demigod Realm in mind, it all made sense.

Being harder was only logical.

The Bloody Emperor felt he had seen through the truth. So this was the ace up the sleeve of the Blue Star, undeniably strong. If he had been the only demigod, he would inevitably have been beaten severely.

Now, fortunately, His Grace the Duke had taken the hit for him.

Thinking this, the Bloody Emperor was even less inclined to act. After all, the energy output rate of the Light Red War Puppet in its ’burst state’ was extremely high, constantly dissipating around, a real waste. If he intervened now, it would just mean another demigod to hard withstand the energy deluge, not significant in meaning.

"This War Puppet really wastes too much energy when it bursts, spilling lots into the atmosphere... This might also be why it was designed with two modes of combat."

At this moment, the energy deluge was like a dam gate opened wide, constantly dissipating, and even causing the vast and pure energy to condense into patches of mottled crystals all around.

Those were impurity-laden bizarre crystals, energy Crystal Stones.

The sight caused the Bloody Emperor’s eyes to twitch slightly. He made a mental estimate and felt that this Puppet had already consumed over ten million bizarre crystals. Moreover, it had to be the high-energy bizarre crystals containing pure energy, one equal to a hundred others, to support such a high energy output rate of the War Puppet.

"Does Blue Star actually possess such an immense reserve of bizarre crystals?" The value of Legendary Level Materials was worth tens of millions of bizarre crystals, but materials of that grade were not usually traded with bizarre crystals. Forces or individuals capable of presenting Legendary Materials also might not be able to produce tens of millions of circulating bizarre crystals.

"However, even if Blue Star’s reserves of bizarre crystals were vast, the amount of time this Puppet could be sustained would not exceed ten minutes."

The Bloody Emperor had estimated as generously as possible.

In his view, it was more likely that before long, the brilliant blue deluge emanating from within the War Puppet would diminish from a great river to a mere stream, eventually ceasing altogether.

Perhaps the people of Blue Star had discovered an exposed vein of rich minerals and mined a vast quantity of bizarre crystals, but the War Puppet’s frame was only so large. Even if its internal energy forge came equipped with spatial compression technology, how many bizarre crystals could it hold?

One should realize that ten million bizarre crystals, piled up, would be as large as a hill, far exceeding a mere War Puppet standing only several meters tall.

He gave the Bloody Duke a look that said ’keep up the fight, I will stand by tactically,’ and then continued to hover high in the sky. Meanwhile, the Bloody Emperor’s divine thoughts swept the surroundings; indeed, he was on guard for the Blue Star powerhouse who had not yet appeared, but even more attention was still focused on the War Puppet whose strength was exaggeratedly formidable.

One minute had passed,

The Bloody Emperor’s expression remained unchanged, composed and in control of the situation.

Two minutes had passed,

The Bloody Emperor’s expression was still unchanged, but within his pupils reflected the increasingly distressed figure of the Duke.

Three minutes had passed,

The Bloody Emperor couldn’t help but tap his finger, his gaze resting on the Light Red War Puppet and not moving away for a long time.

Four minutes,

Six minutes,

Ten minutes,

Time ticked away, and in the distance, round after round of blindingly brilliant blue suns continued to rise, with no sign of decline in vigor.

It had consumed at least a hundred million bizarre crystals! Why did its energy still keep flowing endlessly, as if it would never run out!

The Bloody Emperor gradually fell silent.

He was eager to dismantle the body of the War Puppet to see just how many bizarre crystals it contained, but... seeing the Duke on the verge of exploding, with dozens of cracks already appearing in his demigod visage, the Bloody Emperor knew he could not keep standing by.

He had to join forces with the Duke to suppress this powerfully formidable War Puppet, even though it might run out of energy the next moment and fall into a heap of scrap metal.

He could not delay any longer!

The Bloody Emperor stepped forward, his body gradually rising with each step, engulfed in the swirling power of fresh blood, until in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a towering presence that matched the height of the Bloody Duke.

—A stature donned in crimson heavy armor, with a fiendish mask and wielding a ferocious spear!

Upon closer observation, one could see that while the head, chest cavity, and right arm of this massive figure were incredibly realistic, as if they were the Bloody Emperor himself magnified thousands of times, the lower half of the body seemed somewhat ethereal, with swirling energy particles visible within, as if constructed from energy itself.
