Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1058: Scared Stiff

In the end, however, Hong Xi boldly made her suggestion. "When we headed to the death spirits' battlefield, we first assembled within the Zongming world. I'm sure that the alien troops elsewhere also assembled in their respective superior worlds before setting out in earnest. This location might not be within the superior world, but it's surely close to it. Furthermore, the Zongming king mentioned that he has a map with the various kings' jurisdictions marked."

Zhang Lie understood Hong Xi's intent immediately. "We just need to head to each jurisdiction and ask the aliens within where they had to gather."

The eyes of the members of Team Zenith lit up.

"Hong Xi, you really are intelligent! We'd never have thought of such a brilliant strategy."

"It really is amazing."

"We were all thinking about how we might be able to find the king of chaos' clone, but you jumped straight beyond that and suggested a strategy for finding the superior worlds' locations directly!"

Hong Xi smiled in embarrassment. "No, I simply know a bit more about the superior worlds thanks to my participation in the death spirits' war. If all of you had participated, I'm sure you would have come up with the same strategy too."

Upon their arrival in the Zongming world, the scaleman king and draconian sage marveled at how different the Zongming world was from their respective superior worlds. Zhang Lie didn't sense much of a difference; he simply found the Zongming world more comfortable. However, the scaleman king and draconian sage, who were superior kings in their own right, had far more acute senses in this respect.

The Zongming world, draconian world, and scaleman world were all superior worlds, but they were very different in terms of quality. This distinction made itself evident in the world's energy they possessed.

The Zongming world had been infused with seven superior worlds' worth of energy, and Zhang Lie wasn't at all worried about whether it would be able to repel the invasion of the superior worlds.

The increased strength and stability of the Zongming world transferred to its king, Li Zongming. The energy that Li Zongming gave off was already on par with those of the superior kings of antiquity.

"Is this one of the death spirits' weapons?" Now that the main matter of import was dealt with, Li Zongming turned to inspect what Zhang Lie had brought with him.

Zhang Lie nodded. "We call them battleships."

Li Zongming sighed. "It's a pity they've been destroyed to such an extent."

Zhang Lie shrugged. "Otherwise, no one on the battlefield would have been able to reclaim them safely. This is one of the more complete sets we have."

Li Zongming glanced at the cannon that was exposed by the hull of the battleship. "If there were sufficient energy reserves available, and if we were to clean up these remnants, would we be able to use this cannon in the invasion?"

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "I'm no expert on this front. You had better ask an expert."

Li Zongming frowned. "I just wonder if I really do have an expert in this area in the Zongming world..."

The Zongming world was large, but the death spirits' battleships represented such an advancement in terms of technology that Li Zongming really didn't know if he had an expert in the corresponding fields. At the very least, he couldn't think of anyone.

Zhang Lie shrugged. "This isn't my problem any longer. Don't forget about the trade you arranged with the draconian sage."

Li Zongming sighed. "Don't worry, I won't forget about it."

Li Zongming thought for a moment. "Let's try putting the black metal inside."

Zhang Lie turned to leave. "I'll be setting off, then."

Li Zongming couldn't help but ask, "What do you think are the odds of our victory?"

Zhang Lie shrugged. "Before we start fighting in earnest, I can't say."

Li Zongming and Zhang Lie left the death spirits' battleship, where they found everyone gathered and prepared to set off.

The draconian sage and scaleman king had returned to their own worlds in preparation for the war.

"Let's set off." Li Zongming waved a hand and opened portal after portal, which the members of Team Zenith stepped through.

Just as they did so, and just as the draconian sage and scaleman king returned to their worlds, the enemies attacked.

Beyond the draconian world, golden radiance skimmed through the void. Sunlight vanquished all darkness. Hundreds of suns gathered beyond the outskirts of the world. The inhabitants of the draconian world shielded their eyes at the blinding light.

Countless chariots driven by golden birds charged forward, led by a golden warrior.

The invading forces numbered, shockingly, dozens of times more than were present for the death spirits' invasion.

The golden warrior shouted, "Inhabitants of this newly evolved superior world! Are you aware of your crimes?"

The draconian sage frowned, unable to find any combatant on the level of a superior king among the enemy forces.

"You have destroyed the equilibrium among the three thousand worlds. Today, on behalf of the world of blazing sun, you'll face divine punishment!"

The golden light formed a long river of radiance, and the golden warriors charged forth toward the draconian world.

Despite the protective boundary around the draconian world, the temperature within rose dramatically. The golden warrior shouted, "Come out and face me!"

The draconian sage called back, "Send your strongest combatant over. Someone like you doesn't deserve to talk to me."

The leading warrior laughed. "Would we need to do that against a newly evolved superior world? I think not!"

The golden warriors all began to laugh. "Are you underestimating us, or overestimating yourself?"

"Against a world like yours, we're far more than sufficient."

"Do you really think you're our equal just because your world has evolved into a superior world?"

This was the attitude of the inhabitants of the world of blazing sun, as well as that of the solar king.

The solar king thought the draconian world, the draconian sage, and Li Zongming beneath him. He hadn't even sent out a combatant on the level of a superior king along with his forces.

Of course, even if the draconian sage were to destroy them all, it would mean very little to the solar king, who could easily cultivate more soldiers at this level.

The draconian sage smiled and clapped. "Indeed? Very good, very, very good."

The golden warriors from the world of blazing sun looked at each other skeptically.

"Has this fellow gone mad?"

"He must be scared stiff by our forces—so scared he went mad!"

"As expected, these new superior kings can't hold a candle to our incredible ruler, the solar king! For a superior king to possess such inferior mental fortitude..."

"After all, this is a newly evolved superior world. How can it compare to our world of blazing sun?"
