Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 754 - 383: Renowned Across the Universe
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
On the Prison Dragon Star, four Half-step Divine Fusion Realm powerhouses fled in desperation. Three had already fallen; the chief warden perished at Tang Yilong's hands, while the other pair was slain by Black Obsidian Defense Corps soldiers in their pitch-black heavy armor.
Had he not acted swiftly, ditching the flagship right away and bolting to the battleship nearest the stargate, his end would have matched those other three Half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts.
"Why aren’t you quickly executing Lord Gus Ang’s orders? Do you want to die?" Baroque, his escape companion, roared furiously at the operator.
Right then, Baroque shared Gus Ang's utter dread of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Neither had ever dreamed it could prove so horrifying.
Down the path of retreat, disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in silver-gray attire acted like rabid dogs. Despite holding total dominance, these fanatics spotting fleeing legion leaders charged wildly, ready to explode alongside them in suicidal frenzy.
Luckily, his physique proved tough. When multiple Blood Coagulation Realm disciples from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall detonated themselves, he suffered only severe burns and lost half his body. Lesser legion leaders with weaker bodies would have drifted lifelessly in the void, beyond saving.
Normally, the stargate demands a recognition code that bars outsiders, but linking through a cosmic battleship from Prison Dragon Star allows free access to their constructed gate. Halting them required nothing less than powering it down entirely.
Facing the enraged Baroque in the command cabin, the operator trembled at the thought of a lethal slap and wasted no time. He urgently signaled Prison Dragon Star to fully deactivate the stargate linked to Canglan Star.
As the enormous stargate gradually sealed shut, Gus Ang, Baroque, and their fellow escaped legion leaders finally exhaled in relief.
"The losses this time are too great. Over 90% of the corps’ personnel have perished. The Star Lord might drop to the bottom among the seven generals, and in the future, the Prison Dragon Star’s cultivation resources will be halved," Gus Ang scanned the legion leaders in the command cabin and sighed deeply.
What was meant to be a massive windfall on Canglan Star had collapsed, failing even to claim the top Soul Crystal prize. These Prison Dragon Star legion leaders faced lean times ahead, forced into austerity.
Seven generals from the Imperial Country command and patrol the Divine Woman Star System. They surrender 90% of resources to the Imperial Country, with the leftover 10% allocated by the collective power standings of the seven.
Star Lord Bokas holds fifth place in personal strength among the seven generals. Yet, thanks to Prison Dragon Star's solid overall might—including three Half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts and two legion leaders on par—it claimed fourth spot, grabbing prime resource shares every cycle.
Now, after the corps' 90% wipeout, even with Star Lord Bokas at fifth individually, the total ranking plunges to the bottom. Resources will shrink to half the prior amount, leaving Prison Dragon Star badly crippled this round and mocked by rival generals.
"The Divine Fusion Realm mighty one from Canglan Star never appeared in any reports, so he likely hails from outside our star system," Di Qi remarked, still shaken from survival. "Plus, no clue where Canglan Star's natives dug up that guy who crushed the Star Lord—his power is insanely dominant, on par with peak mid-tier Divine Fusion Realm experts."
The surviving legion leaders nodded grimly, hearts gripped by residual terror.
Star Lord Bokas endured just dozens of exchanges before total defeat. Without instant flight from the flagship, Tang Yilong's boarding assault would have claimed them too.
A Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse emerging in the Divine Woman Star System—whatever the motive for saving a fourth-grade nurtured star—would shake the entire system profoundly.
Star Lord Bokas surely won't swallow this defeat. Tang Yilong's strength impresses, but shielding Canglan Star remains a pipe dream.
The Imperial Country's nurtured stars defy easy conquest by even a top-tier Divine Fusion Realm expert Canglan Star might hire.
"A Divine Fusion Realm mighty one found by Canglan Star?"
As the discussions and mocking remarks from the other legion leaders reached his ears, Gus Ang felt his brow crease faintly.
While the rest of the legion leaders remained ignorant of Tang Yilong, Gus Ang had encountered both Tang Yilong and Hank back at the Frost Shelter. He knew full well that Tang Yilong was no Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse from some distant star system—he was purely a native of Canglan Star. What truly perplexed him was how this man, once far beneath him in strength, had skyrocketed to Divine Fusion Realm, now surpassing even Star Lord Bokas.
The idea that Tang Yilong had deliberately hidden his true power made no sense at all; with the ability to crush Star Lord Bokas effortlessly, why would he fear Gus Ang, who hadn't even approached Half-step Divine Fusion Realm in those days?
This fueled Gus Ang's deep suspicions that Canglan Star's Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had worked some profound change on Tang Yilong, transforming him from a lowly mountain chicken into a majestic phoenix—a being Gus Ang himself now had to gaze up at in awe. Nothing else could account for Tang Yilong's astonishing transformation.
"No, I can’t stay on the Prison Dragon Star anymore." The thought sent a faint tremor through Gus Ang's body.
Only a force strong enough to elevate a mere Grandmaster to mid-tier Divine Fusion Realm could exist, and that would demand a Demigod's direct intervention.
A Demigod!
