Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

When Leon saw Genoside, his first reaction was that it was transforming from its original state into some new state.

"The Expanded Star Soul is a contingency plan set by the creators of these children. It is an ultimate transformation at the cost of abandonment when the weapon can no longer properly fulfill its purpose."

Li Ang nodded. He could roughly understand that this was a means of sacrificing himself for the final battle.

The so-called "Final Sea Star Soul" must also be the twisted form of a certain star soul. Who could that be? Eden, who also has the water attribute? It doesn't seem like it.

"The Empire, or the Eye of God, have they been stimulated by the incident on Mengze Island? Do they want to fight to the death with Genoside?" Leon asked.

"The defeat at Mengze Island did surprise them, so they decided to adopt a new, more aggressive offensive."

Yvénice said, "I came here this time to warn Leon to be careful. They've got a clue and want to confirm the identity of 'you,' the person who's causing trouble."

Li Ang remembered that three captives on Mengze Island were teleported away by the Annihilator's spatial ability when they were fighting with the Apostles of the Divine Eye. This incident also deepened his understanding of the formidable power of the Annihilator Star Soul.

"I'll pay attention."

Li Ang pointed at the rift door inside the warehouse and said, "Speaking of it, is it going to be sacrificed by the Empire?"

A glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Unlike Ivenis, he had no feelings for this star soul. Its flesh and blood could be used to forge naval cannons that fired annihilation thunder to threaten other star souls. With it, the Empire could mass-produce Annihilation Knights.

If it is made into an enlarged star soul for the final battle, then even at a huge cost, destroying it will still have greater benefits.

"No, it... this child is special."

Yvénis shook her head, frowned, and looked sad.

“Children like Star Soul were created as weapons, so they possess special attacks that can destroy civilizations. They also have the ability to transform into new forms when destroyed, but Genoside is special.

"This child is a weapon among weapons. For the purpose of killing, he possesses more possibilities.

"It, my heart aches every time I think about it, but those people used a metaphor to describe it. If other star souls, as tools, only need a single sheet of paper as an instruction manual, this one has a thick stack of instructions. It contains many possibilities, and countless mechanisms built by its creator allow it to inflict destruction in different forms."

Leon thought about it and realized that the "people" the girl was talking about should be the Eye of God.

“So, the distortion of other star souls into enlarged star souls is a sign of destruction, and this is just one form of Genoside.

"They call it the 'Destroyer'."

Ivinis said that one of Genoside's functions is to use its incomprehensible flesh and blood to link various mechanical structures and steel materials, turning it into a super-giant metal beast, or a giant. Because its flesh and blood can be transformed, its form is not limited.

This huge metal monster itself is like a super-giant battleship, hence the name "Destruction Battleship".

"Damn it."

Li Ang stroked his forehead.

Xinghun, how many more surprises will he have?

Do the two Meimei know about this? Are they so unreliable that they've forgotten? Or has this form of Annihilator never appeared in their worldline?

The Empire wasn't so fragile that it needed to start the final battle after just one setback. Well, strictly speaking, it was more than one, but it was still not enough. Leon caught a glimpse of the Empire's reality as the world's villain through the Destroyer Battleship.

Once the Destroyer Battleship is formed, it will be able to easily break through the unguarded Ignis airspace blockade, and the Empire can easily drag the entire airspace into war.

"thanks for your reminder."

Li Ang said to Yvéness sincerely, "I don't know how many times this has happened."

Even if Ivenis hadn't come, he would have been able to discover what was inside the warehouse, but he didn't know what the consequences would be if things continued to develop like this.

"Helping Leon is also helping us, and you also..."

A smile finally appeared on Ivness's weak face. She raised her hand and cast some kind of spell on Leon.

"Please defeat the Destruction Battleship, and I will give you the greatest help I can."

When the girl's figure disappeared and the world started to move again, Leon stood there without moving.

The Annihilation Knights before him did not attack him, nor did they announce the intruder; they simply ignored him.

He looked at the panel, which showed the [Annihilator's Blessing] that Ivenis had bestowed upon him.

333. Secretly Crossing Chencang

【Annihilator's Blessing】

The mysterious blue maiden Ivenis bestows upon you a protective power. The light of the Star Soul, originally intended for killing, is now steadily condensed together, its restlessness seemingly calmed by the girl's pure heart.

[Effect: Treated as a friendly party by the holder of [Annihilator Flesh]]

Only in front of Ivinis did the Annihilator give Leon a similar feeling to other star souls, that is, it seemed to be a being capable of communication, rather than an endless killer.

The body twisting and wriggling in the dimensional rift could no longer resemble some indescribable creature in Cthulhu-related stories.

However, the Destroyer Battleship is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Li Ang first returned to the Wormos Shipyard. Here, the maintenance engineer was conducting a comprehensive inspection of the racing boats other than the Wolf. Li Ang asked and found out that although Andasu did not share the racing boat manufacturing knowledge he mastered, he was really upset about some of the loopholes on their ship and still gave them a few reminders.

"Master, I think it's meaningless to win if it's too easy."

After Li Ang learned about this, the white wolf became a bit like a child who had done something wrong, with its pair of animal ears slightly folded down.

"It's okay, it doesn't affect the plan, just do what you like."

Li Ang knew the warlike passion in her heart. He raised his hand and touched her head. The soft white hair in his hand was like tassels of top-notch works of art. The girl obeyed by pushing her head upwards, and a slight moan was faintly heard in her throat.

This is becoming more and more like a big dog.

After enjoying the warmth of complete trust and dependence for a while, Li Ang told others what he had seen.

In addition to the shock of Huozui Zhongde and Andasu, even Meluna raised her eyebrows.

"It's incredible! Even Makena hasn't considered this kind of thing. Combining monsters with warships? Oh, maybe they know. I really don't know what to say." Huozui Zhongde sighed.

"I've never seen that thing in this form." Leon's guess was confirmed by Meluna.

He further speculated on the reason why Meluna had never seen the Destroyer Battleship - in the timelines of the two Memeis, the Empire's invasion and destruction were smoother than expected, so this form was not needed in the early stages.

Later, when the entire Newbiss launched a counterattack, the empire was defeated very quickly, gathering all its air power. It is estimated that there was no chance to build a giant ship that met the requirements to transform it like today.

Of course, this is just speculation about Meimei's world line. Meluna should be similar to it, but many details are different. Her world is even more severe than Meimei's.

"So, now that we know this thing exists, the plan needs to be revised."

"The game here?"

"I'm not sure if the competition can be held normally, but your position cannot be changed because the rescue phase will not change."

"That……"

Andasu understood what Li Ang meant. She would have to fight alone for a while.

What Leon was going to do next required high-end combat power, and since Meluna was following behind, he had to let her play a role.

"I'll make this guy a good guard."

Leon waved his hand, and Kruk came over with a smile on his face. His expression was so flattering that it was disgusting, but at least it showed that he could take on the responsibility of protecting her.

After confirming that the effect of spiritual drive was stable, Leon was about to leave, but before that, Andasu suddenly hugged him tightly.

"I will move forward according to my master's expectations, so I also look forward to meeting and cuddling with you again."

"Ah."

Leon also hugged her. The girl was now used to him stroking her head and ears. He made her hair a little messy before saying goodbye completely and leaving through the side door of the Wormos Shipyard.

He made up an excuse to buy something for Andasu, but now he had to "clear the misunderstanding" with Crook. Otherwise, Reard and the rowers would not dare to say anything more.

After spending some time returning underground, when Leon returned to the Shadow Factory, Morales was training with Melegon, and Farina and Meimei were also training nearby with the three members of the Star Flower Brigade.

Since Li Ang planned to deliver the message later than this time, everyone couldn't sit idle during this time, so they were a little surprised to see him come back directly.

Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Mo and others realized that the situation was very unusual.

However, Zoe and the other two were more concerned about Leon himself. In addition to the Wildcat who headbutted Leon in the arms, Maverick and Canary also came over to ask about his condition.

"Call the senior engineer over and let's sit down and talk together." Li Ang said to the people present.

After gathering all the important people involved in the operation, Li Ang told them about the preliminary findings in the factory.

"Are they all locked up in the core tunnel? This is consistent with one of our guesses." Locke nodded.

The old man said that he had considered this problem before, and the difficulty was to find the entrance to the core tunnel of these shipyards and successfully sneak in.

He didn't know what tricks Li Ang used, but he immediately looked at him with admiration.

"I used some spells to incite the members of Soul Apex to rebel."

Li Ang briefly talked about the distribution of power within the shipyard, indicating that there was also a gap between the Soul Peak and the Empire.

"Wouldn't this help the plan proceed more smoothly? Did you discover something bad?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Yes, the celebration is a superficial cover-up, and even the construction of the fleet is just a cover-up. What the Empire is truly hiding is its desire to complete a Star Soul variant that will completely annihilate everything it sees. I call it the 'Destruction Battleship.'"

Leon did not tell them about the existence of Ivenis, so he called the Destruction Battleship a name he gave himself.

"Destroy the battleship?"

Everyone was surprised and repeated the word several times.

But due to their lack of knowledge about Star Soul, Loken and Melegon looked somewhat unbelievable.

And because of Xiao Mo's trust in Leon and his adventure with him in the Furnace of Creation, even though he was extremely surprised, he still trusted his words.

"Can you confirm that such a thing really exists, and is not just a cover made up by Kongyan and the Empire to achieve some kind of conspiracy?" Locke asked.

As soon as the old man said this, Li Ang understood that he was worried that Kong Yan was plotting something.

"Are you worried that Kong Yan is setting you up to steal the giant ship's launch key?"

When Li Ang asked this, Loken was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "It seems you've met with the directors of other shipyards. Indeed, since we collaborated on researching the core tunnel, even if they didn't know the ancient giant ship's appearance, they knew of its existence and that its activation mechanism was in the hands of Chiron of Kongyan."

Chiron is the old director of the Kongyan Shipyard. Even though he is as old as Locke, he still controls everything in the Kongyan Shipyard behind the scenes.

Locke didn't mention the past in too much detail, but he still briefly talked about the past cooperation and grievances between the shipyards, and added some details about the breakup with Kong Yan.

Back then, Chiron and Loken had found the clue to the fourteenth passage, and the trigger was placed together with the clue. They naturally wanted to find and use the ancient ship, but they had different opinions on how to use it.

Loken hopes to take it step by step, first reverse-engineering the ship, and while acquiring knowledge, try to find a way to completely control the entire Rudder City, turning the Metal Island into an engineer's paradise that inherits ancient knowledge, and becoming another mechanical island besides Makena.

The Thousand Towers City also developed step by step in this way, but its history is longer, it has absorbed more ancient knowledge, and is more inclined towards magic.

But Chiron disagreed. He wanted to start the ships and use force to integrate all the machine core tunnels here to form a powerful rule. Therefore, Loken parted ways with him.

“I am not against establishing a kingdom, but given Kalon’s character, if he succeeds, I don’t know how many people will die as he consolidates power.

"He's not a conqueror or a ruler. He simply scooped up the hidden remains of a former civilization and used them to fulfill his inner desires. The kingdom he established will not last long. I don't want to see those who came here to diligently build ships be swept up in his selfish desires."

After Locke finished speaking, he fell into a long silence, and Neil took over.

He said that the Great Engineer was worried that the Destruction Battleship was just a cover put up by Kongyan to trick them into taking action. If Loken was captured, he could try to force out the true location of the fourteenth passage and gain control of the ancient battleship.

"I can guarantee this. I saw it with my own eyes. The power wielded by the Empire has some connection to our side, so we know its secrets. I believe that if left unchecked, it will definitely activate."

Xiao Mo and the people from Shadow Shipyard looked at Farina and Aqua on Leon's side, as well as the two extremely powerful Meimeis, and agreed with his statement.

"So, we have to start rescuing people in advance and rush into the shipyard." Mellegon concluded.

"That's exactly what I thought."

Li Ang nodded and continued, "As for rescuing people, there is a way that might be done without anyone noticing, but it requires the full support of everyone present."

Li Ang's hand touched the outstanding strong men present. Xiao Mo was stunned at first, then he understood his plan.

"You want to use that?" He gestured, indicating the Forge of Creation.

"Yes."

"What are you talking about?" Loken asked.

Now that things have come to a head, it's time to come clean. Leon cleared his throat and pulled Aqua over.

"What are you doing?" The incarnation of the Water Dragon God stared at Li Ang and asked in a low voice.

"Lord Shuilong, please lend me your power." Li Ang whispered in her ear.

"My friend is a wizard with an ancient heritage." Leon introduced Aqua to the people at Shadow Shipyard. He had said the same thing to Xiao Mo before.

Locke's side previously only thought that Aqua was Leon's companion, or even one of them with whom he had an ambiguous relationship, and politely did not ask for more details.

“Her inheritance reacted with some ancient things, so the night we stayed there, we detected a reaction inside your factory.

"I have to apologize first. Out of curiosity, we followed the magic reaction and found the gate at the end of the machine core tunnel."

Locke frowned. "Wait, don't apologize yet. You don't want to say that you opened that door, do you?"

Li Ang and Xiao Mo looked at each other and nodded, "That's right."
