Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 284 Hyperion

For ordinary people in the Douluo Continent, becoming a Soul Master is almost the only chance to turn their lives around; Soul Masters are the "version of the answer" in this world.

The Sun Moon Empire may also have an institution that offers free awakening of martial souls, but that is only for the native residents of the Sun Moon Empire and does not include the people of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Unlike other places, Haiyuan City offers free martial soul awakening to anyone who comes to the city, regardless of their origin or faction. After registration, they can receive corresponding subsidies.

Although this policy has cost a lot of money and resources and no obvious benefits can be seen in the short term, Lu Jingming has never thought of stopping it.

He values ​​the longer-term future.

Investing more money and resources now will yield immeasurable returns in the future.

In the future, as long as Haiyuan City can control most of the Soul Master resources on the continent, no matter what new forces rise, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Haiyuan City.

Moreover, his Haiyuan City is far superior to the Spirit Hall of yesteryear.

The existence of Haiyuan City has long since seeped into the fabric of the Douluo Continent like a fine spider web.

The Sacred Mark system reshapes the growth path of Soul Masters, simulates the universe to open up the boundaries of cognition, Soul Guidance Technology innovates the productivity pattern, and top-level combat power breaks the old balance of power—the stone that Haiyuan City threw into the lake of Douluo Continent has already stirred up layers of ripples, subtly rewriting the trajectory of the continent's operation.

Its influence is so profound, like roots spreading underground, that only a few people standing at the top of the pyramid can glimpse the beginnings of its impact on the very foundations of the era beneath the ever-changing surface.

The invitation from the Sun and Moon Empire lay quietly on the desk, its gilded emblem gleaming coldly under the lamplight.

Lu Jingming lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, his gaze sweeping over the myriad lights of Haiyuan City outside the window. He then stood up and summoned all the Masters and Servants of Haiyuan City at this stage.

A grand event destined to shake the continent is about to begin, and they are ready to head to the stage called Mingdu.

Wang Qiu'er stood side by side with Youlandail, their golden hair and silver armor complementing each other.

Ye Guyi turned her head and whispered to Leimian. A soft halo flowed around the two of them. Zhang Lexuan looked calm, while Kerudela beside her was full of majesty.

Gu Yue's eyes were deep, while Ishtar remained lazy and bored, squatting on the ground, but her body was spotless.

Lu Jingming stood in the center, Raiden Mei's purple hair cascaded down her back, and a katana was tucked into her waistband.

Not far away, Xu Jiujiu and Hai Seyin were walking side by side, and they would join the Haiyuan City team.

The six pairs were thus formed.

In terms of Servant lineup alone, they are not weak.

Durandal, Crydella, Heather, and Istaru are all beings comparable to demigods.

Even Raiden Mei and Remian, the so-called "slightly weaker" strength is only relative. In the past, they were still top-tier combat forces in Douluo Continent.

Therefore, this Holy Grail War, which will take place in Mingdu, has long surpassed ordinary imagination and can be described as a true "battle of the gods".

If an ordinary titled Douluo were to rashly get involved, they would be nothing more than cannon fodder who would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

One wrong move and the entire capital of the Sun Moon Empire could be blown away or leveled in the clash of these top powers.

This also indirectly confirms Xu Tianran's almost arrogant confidence—he dared to set the battlefield in Mingdu, so he must believe that he has the ability to control the overall situation, defeat all Masters and Servants, and protect the heart of this empire.

"A Great King of Annihilation..."

Lu Jingming's lips curled into a smile as he thought to himself, "If there isn't a powerful enemy of equal strength to restrain me, I might actually be able to do something like this."

The Annihilation Monarch is such a terrifying existence that it is undoubtedly a dimensional reduction attack for the Douluo Continent.

Even if it is only the memory of the Great Lord of Annihilation, and not the original body, it is the same.

Clearly, Xingxiao's power had completely inflated Xu Tianran's ambition.

Lu Jingming's gaze swept over everyone present, landing on Ishtar, who was leaning lazily to the side, seemingly uninterested in everything. He then glanced at Durandal, who was stretching and whose long golden hair was tied into a neat single ponytail.

These two are not simple characters.

Even if they are not as powerful as the Great Lord of Annihilation, Star Roar, it will probably not be so easy to make them surrender.

Moreover, Lu Jingming also knew that that Silky was equally powerful and not someone to be trifled with.

Lu Jingming had a vague premonition that this Holy Grail War was destined to be full of ups and downs and unexpected events.

He had even begun to imagine the wonderful expression on Xu Tianran's confident face when his entire plan came to naught.

Even if things go beyond expectations and Xu Tianran really does have a trump card, he is not without options.

Lu Jingming's gaze shifted to the figure who was always wearing an eye patch—Jingliu.

An indescribable sense of security instantly filled his chest. With Sword Master here, even if the opponent was Xingxiao, how could the memory body possibly withstand that sharp sword that could shatter stars?

Moreover, the Black Tower is located in the Thousand Realms One Vehicle Space above their heads.

With its spatial authority over the Thousand Realms, the Black Tower can provide support at any time, and can even transfer the entire army of Haiyuan City to Mingdu in an instant. This trump card is enough to make any opponent wary.

In addition to Black Tower and Mirror Stream, Lu Jingming also specially summoned Mebius, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress, ordering them to act in the shadows in the name of the World Serpent.

Their existence is to ensure that the Holy Grail War remains under his control and does not deviate from its predetermined course.

In addition to Wang Qiu'er and other Masters and their Servants, Lu Jingming also brought Liu Ying and Xia Die with him.

As for March 7th, Alicia, and the others, they were left in Abyss City.

Robin was also unable to accompany them, as she was pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to travel to the unpredictable Sun and Moon Empire.

March 7th had intended to join in the fun, but since she was closest to the robin, she ultimately chose to stay and take care of her friend.

Alicia, on the other hand, was simply driven by her nature; she disliked war and had no desire to participate in it.

With everything ready, Lu Jingming led Wang Qiu'er, Gu Yue, and the others onto the enormous Hyperion that had been waiting nearby.

This exclusive vehicle of Lu Jingming perfectly replicates the appearance in his memory. The streamlined hull is full of speed, with the main body in silver-white and dark blue as the main colors, complemented by exquisite gold or red embellishments. Every line is as sharp as a knife, exuding both a cold sense of technology and a heart-palpitating sense of combat pressure.

Its length of several hundred meters casts a huge shadow on the ground, resembling a lurking steel behemoth.

The numerous top-tier soul tools mounted on the ship demonstrate its terrifying combat power.

The most eye-catching feature is the giant main cannon at the bow of the ship. It is a genuine level 10 soul tool. When activated at full power, a single beam cannon shot is enough to raze a bustling city to the ground. Its attack power is in no way inferior to a demigod's full-force strike.

The bridge, located on the upper bow, features panoramic windows, and a state-of-the-art holographic projection tactical panel floats in the center of the command room, displaying various data and maps clearly. The star-system thrusters mounted on both sides of the hull grant this giant ship unparalleled high-speed mobility.

The outer armor is covered with a high-resistance alloy developed by the Black Tower. It is a memory metal that combines ultra-high strength with self-repairing function, making its defense as solid as a rock.

The Honkai energy thrusters mounted at the stern give the Hyperion the ability to break free from the gravitational pull of planets and reach into space.

The ship is fully equipped with a command center, living quarters, training rooms, recreation rooms, laboratories, weapons bays, and more, making it comparable to a small, mobile city.

Energy shield, stealth mode, missile array, space warp... it has all kinds of defensive, offensive and auxiliary functions.

This was meticulously replicated by Lu Jingming based on the Hyperion from the Honkai Impact world. Although its core technology used the Soul Guidance Technology from Douluo Continent and even incorporated the Honkai Energy Furnace, and its materials and weapon systems differed from the original, its identical appearance was enough to evoke the deepest nostalgia in his heart.

After all, he had once been a "deck cleaner" on that warship, and had a special feeling for it that others could not understand.

Now that he has the opportunity to recreate it in reality, he naturally won't miss it.

All I can say is that Lady Black Tower is unparalleled in the world, Lady Black Tower is stunningly beautiful, and Lady Black Tower is omnipotent!

Lu Jingming sighed inwardly once again.

He remembered the first time he saw the Hyperion. He was so excited that he picked up Black Tower and spun him around several times. Although Black Tower beat him up afterward in a fit of rage, he felt it was worth the price of admission.

Of course, he would never tell anyone that Black Tower's body was actually soft and light, and that it was easy to pick him up.

"This is... the Hyperion?"

As the giant blue and white ship slowly descended from the clouds and deactivated its stealth mode, Raiden Mei and Durandal simultaneously showed expressions of disbelief and surprise.

However, once they boarded the warship and took a closer look, they discovered that it was not the Hyperion they remembered.

Despite their identical appearance, the internal soul-guided technology was completely different from that of the Hyperion they were familiar with. Even though both used Honkai energy furnaces, the materials and weapons they carried were vastly different.

Even so, seeing such familiar things in another world still made them feel a sense of warmth and surprise.

"Hyperion, launch! Destination: Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu!"

Lu Jingming stood in the center of the command room, waved his hand, and the AI ​​that was already waiting responded immediately, maneuvering the floating warship to slowly rise into the air.

The detailed map of Douluo Continent has already been entered into the artificial intelligence database, so it can accurately deliver everyone to their destination without manual operation.

With a slight tremor, the Hyperion ascended to an altitude of several thousand meters, its stern suddenly spewing out dazzling blue-purple light particles, like a streak of light cutting through the sky, and quickly disappeared from the sight of Robin, March 7th and the others.

On the ground of Haiyuan City, watching the warship sail away, March 7th didn't show much envy on his face.

After all, the Star Train is far more advanced than this floating warship.

Robins, having seen countless spaceships before, were not surprised by this.

"Let's go back, Sister Robin."

March 7th turned around and looked at the robin with bright, sparkling eyes.

"I found an amazing clothing store before, the designers there have top-notch skills, let's go there and make some nice clothes for the baby!"

Her gaze fell on the robin's lower abdomen, where there were no obvious undulations yet, but a fresh, new life force could already be sensed. Even though March 7th did not have any life-related abilities, she could clearly feel that vigorous life force.

"Yes, she's such a lovely girl, she has to be dressed up beautifully."

Alicia smiled and agreed, her tone full of tenderness.

As for how they were able to determine that the child was a girl, it was thanks to Möbius and the Black Tower.

One is a leading figure in the field of biology, and the other is a genius scientist of cosmic caliber. For them, determining the sex of an unborn baby is a piece of cake.

"Oh dear, has Ah Ming decided on a name for this child yet?"

March 7th hopped and skipped over to the robin, asking expectantly.

"If the name doesn't sound good, I'll be the first to disagree!"

The robin gently stroked her lower abdomen, her face radiating a blissful glow—an unparalleled maternal radiance that made her appear exceptionally gentle.

"Well, Ah Ming said that since she's a girl, her name should be Lu Mingyin."

"Wow! Girls who are about to become mothers are indeed the most beautiful!"

Seeing the robin at this moment, Alicia exclaimed in admiration.

At this moment, the robin is different from her usual intellectual and gentle self. When the light of motherhood shines on her, her beauty is breathtaking and equally dazzling.

"Lu Minyin..."

He muttered "March 7th" to himself a few times, then grinned.

"Ah Ming was so lazy in choosing this name, but it sounds pretty good!"

The character “暝” is taken from Lu Jingming, while the character “音” comes from the robin – after all, she was a famous songstress known for her music.

"Little Mingyin, you must grow up quickly!"

On March 7th, he spoke to the robin's belly in a lighthearted tone.

"Sister has prepared lots and lots of fun toys for you on March 7th, and lots and lots of pretty dresses too!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Ellie also prepared a unique gift for you!"

Alicia added with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

Looking at the two "older sisters" who were even more excited than itself, the robin shook its head helplessly, but felt a warmth in its heart.

With so many people genuinely looking forward to the baby's birth, little Mingyin will surely be very happy in the future.

But... looking at March 7th and Alicia, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, these two are calling her "sister" all the time, but they are actually her mother!

Based on Robin's understanding of Lu Jingming, it's impossible for March 7th and Alicia to become Xiaomingyin's older sister; they can only be her mother.
