Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1684 - 824: Final Outcome (Part 3)
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
"A third Seven-colored Strange Object! Jin Tu actually possesses another Seven-colored Strange Object on his person!"
Song Chi realized this as well, yet he lacked the luxury of time to reflect. As the Star-breaking Axe lunged toward him, he needed to devise an immediate countermeasure.
At that critical juncture, the spectral image of a massive seven-colored chessboard finally solidified above the combat arena.
Visible manifestations of the Time Law surged, rapidly saturating every corner of the platform from top to bottom.
The progression of time began to decelerate, causing the lethal arc of the seven-colored giant axe to appear as if it were moving in slow motion.
With time dilated by a factor of hundreds, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong secured the precious seconds required during this life-or-death moment.
[Judgment Light]·"Single·Judgment", fire!
The seven-colored ship cannon, which had been charging for a significant duration, finally unleashed its fury.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Judgment Light slammed into the eight demonic palms. In that instant, it felt as though the colors of the firmament itself were shifting, and the arena's monitoring arrays were pushed into a state of total overload.
Fissures in the fabric of dimensions spread across the void like a web of glass. Because of the Time Chessboard Domain, the shockwave of the blast expanded at a crawl, granting the spectators outside a vivid view of the devastation.
As the blinding radiance began to fade, the onlookers finally grasped the state of the battlefield.
The entire forward section of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong warship had vanished, leaving behind a jagged, mangled hull that looked as if a colossal predator had bitten into it.
Jin Tu’s condition was even more gruesome. His lower half had been utterly atomized, and the remnants of his body were spiderwebbed with cracks from the impact of the final Judgment Light Beam.
Yet, in a terrifying display, the [Demon Possession Armor] was knitting his form back together at a visible pace, with sinister runes twisting across the surface of the regenerating tissue.
"It is futile, human."
Jin Tu’s speech was now laced with the heavy, guttural resonance characteristic of a demon.
"As long as the demon persists, I am undying. How much longer can that heap of scrap metal you call a ship endure?"
Before his taunt could conclude, however, another beam of annihilation tore through the air.
This strike was not the [Judgment Light], but the [Higher Dimensional Particle Collapse Cannon].
While the [Higher Dimensional Particle Collapse Cannon] lacked the raw concentrated power of the ultimate Single Judgment, the timing was perfect; Jin Tu was still in the midst of reforming and was far from his peak state.
The torrent of high-dimensional particles consumed him once more.
"It is useless! So long as the Demon Possession Armor remains intact, I am eternally beyond death!"
Even as he rapidly reconstructed his body, Jin Tu maintained his arrogance, but Song Chi only offered a frigid sneer in return.
As a Seven-colored Strange Object, the [Demon Possession Armor] certainly granted its wearer an extraordinary degree of resurrection—a feat that was undeniably phenomenal.
Nevertheless, such a potent ability had to have its thresholds. If it truly provided limitless revival and reshaping, this Strange Object would never have stayed in Jin Tu’s hands; it would have been claimed by the [Skull Breaker - Golden Ape] long ago.
"I shall see exactly how many times you can put yourself back together!"
A murderous light flickered in Song Chi’s eyes. Following the high-dimensional particles, he unleashed the "Gamma Ray Burst" from the [Neutron Star Core Armor].
This was immediately followed by the "Devouring Star-shattering Slash" of the [Devouring Ship-Slicing Blade].
Then came the crushing physical impacts of the [Master’s Ivory Crash Horn] and the [Mixed Element Copper Mother Ram].
...
Wave after wave of destructive force rained down, and time and again, Jin Tu's flesh and blood were forced to reform.
Eventually, as the mythical mecha giant of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong raised the [Devouring Ship-Slicing Blade] once more—this time with a "Detonation Singularity" pulsing on the dark steel—a look of deep-seated terror finally crossed Jin Tu’s face.
"No!"
Sensing his impending doom, he desperately played his final card.
A seven-colored platinum tower emerged from his body, expanding instantly until it stood taller than Jin Tu himself, preparing to shield his entire frame.
Chaotic gases swirled around the tower's exterior, and within its various levels, glimpses of different cosmic vistas could be seen.
"The Chaos Void Tower!" several spectating Chaos Demon Apes cried out in shock.
"The Old Ancestor actually deployed that Space Treasure..."
Before they could finish, a five-colored streak of light shot out from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
Aided by the Time Chessboard Domain, this five-colored light moved with incredible velocity, binding the seven-colored platinum tower before the [Chaos Void Tower] could fully protect Jin Tu.
Although the five-colored rope could not permanently hold the [Chaos Void Tower], the momentary obstruction was all that was needed.
Swoosh!
The black edge of the Devouring Ship-Slicing Blade descended with lethal speed, a single strike away from taking Jin Tu’s head.
But at the final heartbeat, subtle ripples disturbed the space of the arena.
Suddenly, Song Chi found that the mythical mecha giant was paralyzed, unable to move even a fraction of an inch. An overwhelming power, far beyond description, saturated the entire platform. Faced with this dread-inducing might, both he and the mecha felt like nothing more than insignificant ants.
Fortunately, at nearly the same moment, the Rule Domain of the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship] descended, instantly stripping away more than 80% of the pressure weighing on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
This sudden tension between the Shenxia Jiuli Ship and the Skull Breaker Golden Ape caused the hearts of every representative from the present civilizations to tighten.
That was until a voice broke the silence at an awkward moment.
[The final victor is... the Torch Civilization!]
The declaration from the Mechanical Arbitrator signaled the official end of this grand gamble.
Cold, piercing glares from the Chaos Demon Ape and other Peak Clans swept toward them, prompting defensive stances from Jiang Yuan, Black Bone, the Creation Mechanical Civilization, and others. Ultimately, however, the Chaos Demon Ape chose not to escalate the situation further.
It was true that Jin Tu had survived.
Before the various Peak Clan delegations departed, a projection of Jiang Yuan appeared above the arena, his voice booming for all to hear:
"As per our contract, the ownership of the Seventh Arm Region of the Fallen God Sea is officially transferred to our Torch Civilization from this day forward."
Several days later, once the various factions had dispersed, Jiang Yuan’s voice was the first to enter the magnetic wave communication channel.
"As the champions who secured victory in this gamble, Ying Yi, Ferdinand, and Song Chi will each be granted a specific portion of the Mythical Soul profits for as long as we hold the Seventh Arm Region. Does anyone object?"
Having seen Song Chi’s performance with their own eyes, none of the other dozen or so members voiced any disagreement.
After finalizing the general logistics for the Seventh Arm Region, Emperor Ying reached out and patted Song Chi on the shoulder.
"Your coordination of the warship modules was perfect. However, you were incredibly daring to engage in combat using the ship's main body."
Song Chi smiled at the remark and replied:
"To see our civilization rise, such risks are worth taking."
While his words were filled with noble sentiment, the truth was that his confidence rested on two secret trump cards: the [Zhu Tian Ruins Market] and the [Time Chessboard].
Specifically, the Mythical Status of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and the Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess of the Time Chessboard.
These two factors gave him the assurance he needed to gamble with the warship's physical hull.
