However, this shocking remark almost frightened everyone in the carriage to the point of jumping out of the train on the spot.
Imperial Bow Light Arrow? How could anyone be so worthy as to be able to absorb the Star God's secret technique? One arrow would destroy even an atom.
Seeing that his unintentional mumbling had caused great panic, Dan Heng quickly explained:
"Please rest assured, with the intensity of the signal coming from this source, it is absolutely impossible for it to originate from a genuine Cloud-Viewing Mirror, let alone successfully guide the Imperial Bow Light Arrow."
The Cloud Mirror didn't develop the "function" of guiding the Imperial Bow Light Arrow until thirty years ago. Before that, it was a giant telescope capable of searching the entire universe for Imperial Bow Light Arrow signals. The signal strength was unimaginable. How could such a weak signal possibly be from a genuine Cloud Mirror?
It was not until he heard Dan Heng's words that Jiang Yan suddenly realized and said quickly:
"It's Ester! It must be her! The "Cloud-Viewing Mirror" technology is unique! Jiang Yan paused and said, "Some time ago, on behalf of Xianzhou Luofu, I presented her with a portable telescope made with reference to the Cloud-Viewing Mirror technology! She is at the source of the photon signal, let's go there quickly!"
Jiang Yan's news immediately made everyone in the Starry Sky Train overjoyed. Soon, the Starry Sky Train turned around and headed straight for the source of the signal. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it quickly stopped at the farthest point of the observable range and began formal pre-war preparations.
Unfortunately, the results of the investigation were not satisfactory...
"Everyone, be careful! This planet has an extremely high surface temperature and gravity for ordinary humans, and the air is filled with large amounts of hydrogen and helium. If I hadn't received the photon signal from Ester, I would never have believed she was imprisoned here!"
As a nameless guest connecting all realms, venturing into various terrifying environments was a natural task. Ji Zi quickly used the Star Train's environmental detection device to read the surface environment of the planet Tophet.
In the cosmic age, the biggest problem with attacking other civilizations' home turf is that it is difficult to adapt to different environments.
The fire demon's suitable living environment is obviously not only "restricted" for humans to stay in, but it is also unknown whether they can survive, let alone exert their strength.
And right now, the planet Tophet is simply a collection of harsh environments. It is unlikely that there will be any residents other than the Fire Demon on the entire planet.
Therefore, even though those who dared to board the Star Train to help were all powerful individuals, they were all deeply puzzled by this extreme environment and even began to doubt the source of the signal:
"In this kind of environment, is this signal really from Miss Ester, rather than the fire demons trying to trick us into coming over and laying siege?"
Although Ester had made considerable achievements in the intellectual realm, no one dared to believe that she could fight her way out of this environment and still have the leisure to continuously send photon signals. Jiang Yan had no choice but to explain:
"There's no need to worry about that. Putting aside the guarantee from the 'Slave of Fate', the power frequency recognition system on the telescope that uses Jade Omen technology alone is not something that those fire demons can crack in a short period of time.
But this answer still didn't make everyone happy. The "slave of fate" only promised to rescue Estelle, but didn't mention anyone else's safety. Why didn't he mention that? Were they all already dead by then?
This wasn't an outrageous idea. After all, if the readings of the planet's surface, which the Star Train had confirmed three times, were true, then this trip wasn't about saving people; it was about dancing on a barbecue grill.
But if we don't launch a frontal attack, how can we rescue Ester?
Fortunately, there is always a way out. In this extremely harsh environment, the Yonghuo Mansion is as easy to find as a firefly in the dark night. Soon, Ji Zi synchronized the news to everyone:
"We've found the Eternal Fire Residence! It's located at coordinates 141:1247372.239:2711637. It's clearly covered by a large magical formation. Clearly, even the Fire Demon wouldn't want to survive in such an environment. Perhaps this is an environmental modification device specifically designed for the human residents of the Eternal Fire Residence."
"It seems that we need to divide our forces into one more place - to protect this large magic formation, so that our actions can survive." Ji Zi said easily.
Even she, who often wielded flames, didn't want to face a powerful enemy while enduring the debuff of high pressure and heat while saving the world. That wasn't bravery, it was suicide. Even the most determined Jizi acted this way, let alone the others. After hearing that as long as they protected the formation, they wouldn't have to endure the incinerating temperatures and paralyzing gravity, almost everyone's solemn expressions suddenly relaxed.
Although no one understood why these fire demons did not just sleep in the flames but instead built this kind of mansion that could not measure any living creatures and added a large magic circle, for Jiang Yan, this way of playing was really helpful. The only drawback was that if the magic circle was destroyed and the high pressure of hot air hit her face, how would Estelle survive? And if the magic circle was not destroyed, how could everyone break through its protection and enter this huge "Eternal Fire Mansion"?
Finally, Jiang Yan came up with a solution:
"Ms. Jizi, you and Mr. Walter should come with me to exit the cabin early! I'll take care of the cushioning with the spell in the air. Don't worry, I'll be the first one to die!"
Just as Ji Zi was trying to digest the crazy tactic of "flesh airborne", Jiang Yan continued:
"My plan is to wait until we're airborne at the right distance, have Mr. Walter summon a black hole to blow away the entire magic circle and the roof of this mansion, and then have Ms. Jizi fire a full-strength orbital cannon into the interior of the mansion. This will give everyone a chance to immediately control the magic circle and redeploy it under suppressive fire. What do you think?"
Launch mini black holes from the air, bombard with railguns, and then violently airborne to seize key positions.
I understand the logic, but airborne in this kind of gravity and temperature? Are you so anxious to be consumed by the fire?
This crazy plan shocked not only Ji Zi and Walter Yang, but even the onlookers.
But after thinking about it carefully, there is no better way than this, so I can only think about how to make it more reliable based on this plan.
"I will also activate the Cloud Chant secret technique and airdrop with you. At least it can protect you from the high temperature and impact during the airdrop." Dan Heng looked at Jiang Yan, who was said to have the appearance of a Dragon Lord, and spoke with a complicated expression.
Ever since the news of Jiang Yan boarding the Starry Sky Train reached several Dragon Lords, Dan Heng's portable terminal exploded. Even though he had never added any ordinary Chi Ming clan friends to reduce troubles, the few Dragon Lord friends he added to protect Bai Lu after the public performance of the dragon transformation method in the Linyuan Realm would not let him go and scolded him.
Some Dragon Lords believed that he was the one who instigated Jiang Yan to mess around, wanting to maintain the characteristics of the "Drinking Moon Lord" lineage;
Some Dragon Lords believed that he had set a bad example and had an immeasurable negative impact on the younger generation.
There was also a Dragon Lord who believed that there was definitely something wrong with the Moon-Drinking bloodline, as it was stubborn and disobedient. He suggested that after this matter was settled, Jiang Yan should be handed over to everyone to be taught in turn, so as to prevent him from being poisoned by this poisonous bloodline.
Dan Heng had long been numb to these slanders. Thanks to the guy in front of him, his image in the Chi Ming tribe had long since changed from "the sinner Dan Feng" to "the Chi Ming scientist, the ruthless master Dan Feng". Even if he confronted the rumormongers in the Yu Zhao system many times, it would be of no use.
Even though he wanted to loudly refute the Dragon Lords, "This guy wants to die, what does it have to do with me!" Unfortunately, those disobedient guys made it clear that if anything happened to this guy who had placed a lot of hope on the Chiming clan, then you should come back and be a Dragon Lord and continue to invent and create to repay him.
At this point, how could Dan Heng dare to let Jiang Yan go to orbit alone? In addition, Ji Zi and Walter Yang, whom he respected very much, seemed to be in trouble. In desperation, they had no choice but to advance and retreat together.
Jiang Yan was overjoyed to receive this unexpected reinforcement.
After all, he had heard that Mr. Dan Heng extremely hated the power of the Dragon Lord in his body and never used it unless it was a life-and-death situation. He didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.
Seeing that Dan Heng's talent was put to good use, San Yue Qi was not to be outdone and volunteered:
"And me, and me! My six-phase ice can also protect everyone!"
However, Dan Heng, the former Dragon Lord, was fine, but Ji Zi was not willing to let San Yue, a young girl who had just recovered her weapons a few years ago after losing her memory, participate in such a highly dangerous operation, so she shook her head.
"Xiao Sanyue, no, this time you can protect our drop pod with a layer of six-phase ice in advance, but when we go, you have to go to the magic circle with Xing to help everyone."
This reason was well-founded, and even if March 7 was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
For such a race against time, there naturally wouldn't be too many precise plans. After discussing the general process, the Star Train quickly circled to the back of the planet where the Eternal Fire Mansion was located, and headed directly towards the star Tophet.
It was not until they approached the planet's low-Earth orbit, used observers to look at the flames all over the surface, and felt the powerful force contained therein, that everyone understood why even the fire demons had to use magic circles to protect themselves.
This planet was burned to this state by humans, or more precisely, by a single person! Even the Fire Demon couldn't withstand the flames!
In the flames burning everywhere, the breath of the power of "destruction" is at its peak!
Who is so terrifying! Burning up a planet?
"Is this the power left behind by the injured benefactor?" Even Tingyun became interested in the source of power of this planet.
Ever since the benefactor who bore the scars became a god, he no longer needed to personally destroy ordinary civilizations. It would be very valuable to find a trace of his personal actions.
Especially the reproductive power that the biologist was going to implant, it seemed that it needed a more powerful force to balance it...
Thinking of this, she suggested:
"Xiao Jiang, haven't you always wanted to experience the power of destruction? After everything is over, I can help you absorb some of this flame."
No problem, wait until I win this battle!
At this moment, Jiang Yan had no time to think about the distant future. He was just looking at the burning planet with great worry.
This planet, ravaged by Nanook and filled with the remnants of the power of destruction, seems more difficult to raid than expected...
Although even this group of fire demons finds it difficult to directly absorb the flames of destruction, it is obviously these flames that make these fire demons so powerful.
Energy creatures are difficult to destroy before they run out of energy. Even if they can't be refined immediately, it's still difficult to fight them with power banks everywhere!
Jiang Yan had already imagined in his mind the scene of himself splitting a fire demon into two halves with one sword, and then the two halves struggling to run to the flames, plunging into the fire, and then enjoying free medical treatment, and in the blink of an eye they turned into two fire demons.
But the sword is on the string, how can it not be fired? If the Star Train continues to circle, everyone will be gone!
So after some discussion, everyone finally added the principle of "leaving no survivors and quick victory" to the rules of action, and then they all got into the airborne warehouse, ready to start this unprecedented war.
The first group to be airdropped were naturally the four ice eggs that were tightly wrapped in six-phase ice by March Seven.
No one laughed at their appearance. Faced with the choice of becoming a beggar or landing safely, everyone knew what to choose.
Seeing that the lifeboats in the last row had all turned into ice balls, March Seven, who had successfully become a temporary wisdom because of this skill, excitedly cleared his throat and said in the tone of the popular online drama:
"The rescue operation of Ester is about to begin. Five, four, three, two, one, get out of the cabin!"
Oops, I've been entangled by a genius! : Chapter 211: Parachuteless Airborne
The greatest magic of the battlefield is that you never know what will happen next.
Of course, the fact that the Star Train, a cosmic wonder, was rushing towards the Eternal Fire Residence could not be hidden from the owner of the planet. As soon as it entered the synchronous orbit of the star Tophet, the huge movement was noticed by the owner of this place.
"Father, a large aircraft is approaching the Yonghuo Mansion at an extremely fast speed. After comparing it with the library, it was confirmed to be the Star Train left behind by "Pioneer" Akivali." "Clerk" Dubra reported to the Grand Duke of Hellfire.
The Star Train and the Nameless Guest are well-known in the universe. Almost all civilizations have the reputation of the Nameless Guest being "nosy" and "good at fighting". It is obvious what this group of people want to do when they come to the planet Tophet.
"It seems that our future 'brother' seems to be from a rather impressive background." Constance Dahlia said with a smile, as if all this was not beyond her expectations at all.
However, facing such a powerful visitor, Duke Hellfire showed no regrets at all. Instead, he raised his voice with great interest and said:
"Excellent! Tophet has finally welcomed a distinguished guest worthy of our status! Dubra, offer a welcome salute to our distinguished guest!"
"Yes, Father."
After the "tuner" Dubra bowed his head and took his leave, he came to the energy hub of the Yonghuo Mansion, which was also the control room of the planet's defense system.
Soon, several volcanoes on the surface of the planet Tophet began to emit huge columns of smoke, forming rolling black clouds that completely obscured large areas of the sky.
For the Star Train, which had already firmly locked onto the Earth's surface coordinates, the smoke obstruction was of course meaningless. However, just as the hatch opened and Jiang Yan was about to press the airborne button, a blazing red light suddenly shot straight into the sky, transforming into a sea of fire that instantly sprayed in front of Jiang Yan. Fortunately, it was blocked by the sky-blue energy barrier surrounding the train.
"Be careful, it's a planetary energy weapon!"
"Close the hatch quickly!"
"Xiao Sanyue, cancel the ice shield first!"
It was not until the hatch was closed and there was a lot of chaos that the people in the airborne capsule crawled out in fear.
If everyone had gotten out of the cabin a few minutes earlier and faced this wave of attacks head-on, we would have all turned from ice eggs into hot spring eggs by now!
Who would have thought that such a planet that seemed to be beyond saving actually had such a powerful weapon that used the planet's geological force as its defense system?
However, this sea of fire was only the beginning of this defensive system. It wasn't until several massive pillars of fire shot up into the sky, completely shredding the black fog like a veil that the Starry Sky Train's passengers could finally see the surface clearly.
In the brief moment the smoke filled the air, the dead planet had already been transformed beyond all recognition. The barren land near the volcanoes had been transformed into a scorched earth, flowing with flames and lava, and trembling wildly, as if protesting the sudden devastation.
The volcano, still spewing towering columns of flame, had already "come alive." Lava was rising from the mountain like a crimson dragon, stirring the surrounding scorching air and creating waves of heat that distorted the atmosphere. Even the air around them seemed to be filled with countless fireflies. Countless tiny flames clung to the volcanic ash and lava debris, burning fiercely, attempting to consume anything that came near.
"Should we gain some altitude first to avoid these attacks?"
Looking at the huge pillar of fire bombarding outside the window, Jiang Yan asked worriedly.
The Star Train is a unique secret treasure in the universe that connects all worlds. If it is damaged again due to my own fault, I can't repay this debt of gratitude even if I sell myself!
"Don't worry. The Star Train has the blessing of Akivali. We have experienced the harshest environments during our pioneering journey. This level of attack cannot stop us!" Ji Zi said proudly.
"Since the sneak attack failed, we can just charge straight down!"
After that, under Ji Zi's control, the Starry Sky Train did not retreat but advanced, and instead accelerated within the atmosphere. It passed through the sea of fire with the momentum of a head-on crash and arrived above the Yonghuo Mansion.
“Mr. Walter, it’s up to you!”
Walter nodded, and the staff in his hand, which was transformed from the "Star of Eden", had already begun to emit a black light. This was a sign that the huge gravity was about to converge and create a precursor to the existence of a black hole.
"See what it's like when stars shatter."
Although Walter is not young anymore, he still has a middle school heart. With his handsome lines, he waved his cane and swung out a black ball the size of a dust particle.
Although the small ball was inconspicuous, it seemed to have no mass and landed quickly on the barrier of the Yonghuo Mansion. With a sound like shattering glass, the black "small ball" began to expand rapidly like a balloon, and madly sucked in everything around it, swallowing it up until it turned into a black sun floating above the Yonghuo Mansion.
Under the terrifying devouring force of the "sun," the massive invisible barrier visibly twisted several times before shattering with a thunderous explosion. Following it were large swathes of bricks, tiles, doors, and windows from the Yonghuo Mansion. Finally, with a resounding explosion, the spire at the center of the massive building seemed to be ripped up by an invisible hand and swept into the "sun." After several spins, it was pulverized and vanished without a trace.
Seeing that the entire Yonghuo Mansion was about to be shattered by the black hole attack, the Grand Duke of Hellfire still sat on his throne, waiting for the arrival of guests gracefully, and just casually ordered:
"Gravity attack? Dubra, go take the ceremonial staff and parasol from our distinguished guest. Don't lose your hospitality."
"As you command, Father."
Dubra arrived at the central room of the Eternal Fire Mansion's protective formation. In a flash, the entire mansion erupted in flames. Endless flames of "destruction" blazed through the cracks in the bricks, the walls, the roof tiles, and the eaves. As if to demonstrate the true meaning of "eternal fire," even after being absorbed by the black hole, the flames showed no sign of extinguishing or even weakening.
Under the mad rush of the flames of "destruction", the black sun soon became unable to sustain. However, Walter certainly would not watch the mimic black hole gradually collapse. He just waved his cane, and the black sun suddenly exploded like a blown-up balloon, spraying out all the energy, gas and material powder it had swallowed, like a shotgun, shooting towards the roof of the Eternal Fire Mansion.
However, even though this blow was enough to rip the previous roof into pieces, in front of the roof now composed of the flames of "destruction", it was still like a stone thrown into a lake. Even though each stone caused quite a wave, under the support of the never-extinguished flames of "destruction", it finally calmed down.
None of this came as a surprise to the assault team. If they hadn't demonstrated this skill on their home turf, the Eternal Fire Residence wouldn't have been worthy of its current dominance over the sin city of Yepera. The moment the Mimic Black Hole launched its attack, Jizi's satellite had already been released from the Star Train, its particle cannon tip blazing like another incandescent sun. The instant the black sun shattered, the light of judgment descended from the sky.
The satellite particle cannon, powered by the Star Train's "pioneering" fuel, is so powerful that it cannot be compared with ordinary technological weapons.
In the blink of an eye, even though the protective flames of the Yonghuo Mansion were still burning, a big hole was blasted out by the light of "development", and a huge skylight was directly blasted open in the main entrance hall of the Yonghuo Mansion.
No matter how powerful the particle cannon was, Jiang Yan didn't believe it could always suppress the Eternal Fire Residence's defense system, which relied on the entire planet. So he opened the hatch again without hesitation and turned around to say to everyone:
"Okay, it's finally our turn. Let's not waste the opportunity that Mr. Walter and Ms. Jizi have won. Let's go!"
After saying that, Jiang Yan jumped off the Starry Sky Train, followed closely by Dan Heng, March Seven, Xing, Latio and other members of the assault team. Like meteors, they went straight along the huge hole created by the particle cannon and successfully landed in the lobby of Yonghuo's official residence before the repair was completed.
In front of everyone, a red-haired fire demon with a giant chain hammer in hand was lowering the flaming horn he had just blown. His scorching eyes looked at everyone with aggression.
"I'm Katrina. The old man asked me to entertain you all properly, so let's stop talking and start the welcome ceremony now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, fire demons from all directions rushed over and attacked the assault team with their best skill, flames.
