Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 450: Chapter 315: Divine Techniques, Rapid Troop Training

The Starlight Flying Swords, each as fine as a strand of hair, streaked through the void like threads. Five billion of them surged forward at once, their dazzling brilliance forming a veritable river of stars.

Amidst this radiance were explosions and bursts of fire.

The Hundred Battle Royal Court’s advanced spaceships seemed as if they were made of paper, washed over by the starlight, pierced through, and utterly pulverized. In the blink of an eye, they lost dozens of vessels!

The crew members within had no time to cry out in alarm, no time to scream in agony, before their lives were snuffed out in an instant!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tossed its head and let out a roar, sending out a dozen of its true forms. These manifestations went on a rampage, tearing apart steel warships with their claws. Some even used the Star-devouring Technique, swallowing spaceships whole.

The Hundred Battle Royal Court’s Starry Sky Fleet naturally counterattacked, but neither their Laser Cannons nor their projectile weaponry could do Wang Yi any harm.

With his body fortified by numerous Divine Techniques, Wang Yi’s physique was far beyond that of any Mortal. His level was equivalent to that of a Mahayana Cultivator.

The battle was completely one-sided.

Inside the main control room of the *Sailor*, alarms blared urgently.

”Alert! The fleet is under attack!”

”It’s the man riding the Golden Lion! He’s a Starry Sky God!”

”So this is a Starry Sky God? H-he... what kind of weapon is he using?!”

”This is bad! The Fifth Fleet has sustained heavy damage! We’ve already lost 25 B-class spaceships!”

”The Sixth Fleet lost 22 B-class warships and one A-class warship in an instant! The enemy’s weapon is too powerful!”

”Councilor, what do we do?”

”We have to run! If we don’t go now, we’ll be annihilated!”

”Run? I’m afraid it’s too late!”

Faced with his panicked communications officers and controllers, Yodari was, in truth, just as terrified.

He had long heard how formidable Starry Sky Gods were, and today he had finally witnessed it firsthand. In this situation, the complete annihilation of his fleet was a real possibility.

At this point, any thought of glory and achievement had vanished. His mind was consumed with a single question: ’How do I survive this?’

”Quickly! Pull the flagship back! Order the Fifth and Sixth Fleets to regroup and form a defensive perimeter! Activate the Light Energy Matrix! Deploy the Battle Armor! And request a truce! Request a truce!”

Yodari yelled. ’I have to escape,’ the thought took root in his mind.

Just then, the figure riding the Golden Lion came into sharp focus on the main viewscreen again.

With a wave of his hand, the boundless starlight converged into a four-foot Longsword. He flicked the blade with a finger. TWANG! The Longsword darted around him twice like a fish in water before coming to a stop, floating behind his back.

”He’s a Cultivator!”

”Was that a Flying Sword attack?”

”He’s really that powerful?”

”His physical body can withstand Laser Cannons, and a single Iron Sword can cut down a Starry Sky Spaceship... Are Starry Sky Gods truly this powerful?”

”This Starry Sky God must have beaten us to the punch and claimed the Mysterious Shop for himself. We really drew the short straw this time!”

”Councilor, what should we do?”

Listening to the cacophony of his subordinates’ shouts, Yodari was at a complete loss. With no thought of resisting, he stammered, ”Quickly! Signal to the Starry Sky God that we mean no harm! Ask for his forgiveness!”

His order was relayed with surprising speed. A small, torpedo-shaped spaceship soon emerged from the *Sailor*, flying a white flag.

Meanwhile, the Hundred Battle Royal Court’s fleet had swiftly consolidated its position, erecting a pale blue Energy Defense Shield around the formation.

Wang Yi stared at the small vessel flying the white flag. He knew it was a sign of surrender.

’The Starry Sky is truly a chaotic place,’ Wang Yi thought with contempt. ’Launching unprovoked attacks, not even caring who the target is. What, you only learn your lesson after a good beating?’

Despite his contempt, Wang Yi refrained from attacking, waiting quietly for the small vessel to draw near.

KRR-CHUNK! SHH-KKT! VMMMM...

The torpedo-shaped vessel stopped a hundred meters before Wang Yi. Its body transformed, shifting from the form of a spaceship into a humanoid Mecha. It held the white flag high, bowed to Wang Yi, and spoke in a synthetic, mechanical voice, ”We mean no harm! Please, Lord Starry Sky God, show mercy!”

”All style and no substance. Playing Transformers with me?” Wang Yi’s face was cold as he snapped, ”No ill will? Then what exactly *is* ill will? You people bombarded a World Line, and you still expect me to show mercy?”

”Lord Starry Sky God, there’s been a misunderstanding. I am Midas, a defense diplomat for the Hundred Battle Royal Court. I have come on behalf of Councilor Yodari to offer an explanation.”

”An explanation? Fine. I’m waiting to hear what you have to say.”

”Lord Starry Sky God, we had no intention of offending you. We merely detected this small world and intended to do a bit of plundering, that’s all. We had no idea this world had already been claimed by you, my lord. We will depart at once. Please, my lord, do not hold this against us.”

Wang Yi burst out laughing at his words. ”Do a bit of plundering? You say that so casually, so brazenly! And you ask me not to hold it against you? Don’t you know this world is mine?!”

”Yours? What do you mean by that?”

”I mean exactly what I said! I am the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court!”

”Th-th-this...”

The diplomat inside the Mecha was clearly stunned. After a moment’s thought, he bowed again and said, ”We have indeed caused offense. May I ask what it would take to appease your anger, my lord? I believe that rather than killing us, demanding reparations would be far more beneficial. If you are amenable, I will relay the message back at once and have the Royal Court’s council prepare a reparations package! How does that sound?”

”Haha! You certainly have the makings of a first-class traitor!” Wang Yi said. ”Come closer. First, tell me about your Hundred Battle Royal Court.”

The Mecha holding the white flag approached Wang Yi with trepidation. Inside, the pilot, Defense Diplomat Midas, was incredibly tense; he had to force himself to press on.

Under Wang Yi’s questioning, he held nothing back. He told Wang Yi everything, explaining in full detail how the Hundred Battle Royal Court had detected the world and dispatched their forces. He also gave a brief overview of the Hundred Battle Royal Court itself and its commanding officer on this mission, Councilor Yodari.
