Chapter 358 The Power of Black Holes
No matter how strong a genius is, they are still weak on a life level.
Therefore, it is necessary to rely on more treasures, external forces, secret techniques, etc., to make up for the gap and even surpass it.
Fighting against opponents of higher ranks!
Even the renowned "King of the Knife River" didn't achieve his fame solely through his own strength.
He relied on the support of the assassination of Wu.
It relied on the Nine Tribulations and the King's Armor.
It relies on the Vulcan Source Crystal.
It's thanks to Fermoo Venom —
The Killing Wu Wings were given to him by his teacher, and the Nine Tribulations and King Armor were due to his birth on Earth. Everything else was bought with money. You could say he was a "connected person" and a "whale who spends a lot of money".
Without these, the King of the Knife River at that time would not have been able to compare with a peerless genius like Kodi.
It wasn't until after the Star Tower inheritance that he passed through the 20th floor of the Sky Bridge and broke through the original Sky-Reaching Mountain at the Realm Lord level, estimating that he had cultivated for over 14,000 years.
It can be said that behind every seemingly glamorous and legendary genius, there were some extraordinary encounters and opportunities.
The thing Suk took out was, of course, a black hole weapon!
When he took it out, he immediately targeted one of the three forces.
The three forces were all close to him, but they were also millions of kilometers apart.
At the same time, the Death Star Vine, which cooperated with its master, also made a move.
boom!!!
The Death Star Vine erupted, burning with divine power!
The Death Star Vine's aura surged instantly, with countless vines and branches frantically wrapping and spreading, greatly increasing its power and squeezing the space around them.
"Burning Divine Body!"
"It burned its divine body!"
The teams from the Zerg, Mech, and Demon factions were all greatly alarmed.
If one side burns their divine body, their strength will surge. If the strength of both sides is very close, then one side must burn their divine body, otherwise they will not be a match.
The Death Star Vine, a being at the pinnacle of its power and possessing a colossal size, burned its divine body, immediately posing a tremendous threat to the Kings of the three factions!
None of the three parties noticed that Suk had already taken out his weapon, as it was concealed by the Death Star Vine.
Given the size of the Death Star Vine, its divine power permeates an area spanning tens of millions of kilometers, making it impossible to detect even with divine power.
The vast, boundless space, filled with the fierce, volcanic-eruption-like divine power fluctuations, made the faces of the kings solemn.
"He actually burned his divine body! Even if it was his plant life burning his divine body, it was still burning. Does he really intend to fight us to the death?!" The Sirius King, who looked so tiny against the backdrop of the enormous, star-like plants, felt a sense of unease.
"Such a massive plant life form is impossible to kill!" The three machine race members quickly calculated the result. "This human refuses to back down and insists on fighting us, but this kind of battle isn't worth it. We should rush out as soon as possible, find an exit, and leave this place."
Initially, they didn't really intend to kill the Calamity King and seize the treasure, but rather to use the situation on the ground to threaten and intimidate him to get some benefits.
In other words, it's like shooting down a tree regardless of whether there are any dates or not.
Who knew that humans could be so "fierce," ready to fight at the slightest provocation?
The Zerg King Yantan led sixteen other kings from his faction to resist the surrounding raging vines, but they could not make an inch under the storm-like onslaught.
"This is a huge problem." King Yantan was also in a state of great distress.
The three factions, who were initially poised to besiege the Calamity King, instantly lost their temper under the Calamity King's Death Star Vine.
At this moment, all I wanted to do was get away from here.
There's a saying that goes, "The ruthless fear the stubborn, the stubborn fear the reckless, and the reckless fear the mad."
The current Calamity King is a madman.
"Hurry up and go."
"This Calamity King is simply insane. Is he really that desperate?"
"It's not worth fighting a madman like that. Get out of here."
Surrounded by vines, Suk, through his mental connection with the Death Star Vine, easily grasped the positions and movements of the three parties.
"First target." Suk thought quickly. His energy was limited, and the attack range of the black hole weapon was limited, so he could only choose the smallest scale attack method in the first tier.
Since the three factions are located more than 100,000 kilometers apart, unless they are forced to get closer, the only option is to attack one of them individually.
However, if these three forces were to unite and work together, they would be more likely to withstand the power of black hole weapons.
Black hole weapons are most effective when they catch the opponent off guard, maximizing their damage. If the opponent is prepared, they might be able to dodge the black hole attack, so they must be used as quickly as possible.
"Then let's choose the demon race as our primary target." Suk made his decision. Although the demon race had the largest numbers, he considered them the weakest. The mechanical race had three mechanical members, and the insectoid race had the near-invincible "Flame Tank King."
The black hole weapon hovering above his head pointed in a certain direction, and the patterns on its metal surface instantly lit up. The energy of the divine source crystal inside was rapidly poured in and gathered at the top of the spire in front of the weapon, and an extremely terrifying wave suddenly erupted.
At the same time, the numerous vines that had been blocking its path suddenly dispersed, revealing a passage with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.
At the end of the passage were more than thirty kings of the demon race who were about to rush out.
They gathered together to resist the attack of the Death Star Vine, but suddenly found that the vines next to them suddenly parted, and a huge passage appeared in the previously airtight space.
At that very moment, a terrifying attack blasted through the passage and struck this spot.
hum!
The space within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers centered on the demon race's forces transformed into an indescribable, pitch-black, distorted black hole.
The area around that space wasn't even significantly damaged; the point of attack simply seemed to have been "evaporated" by a black hole.
Lose.
Even some of the Death Star Vines' vines were swept in and pulverized by the black hole that distorted space.
Once the attack was launched, Suk ignored the demon race and instead used the black hole weapon to launch a second attack on the mechanical race's position!
As long as there is enough energy, black hole weapons do not need to cool down and can continue to attack, even maintaining a black hole in an area. However, the energy required is too enormous, so Suk only used the smallest range, that is, the first level of power with a range of 10,000 kilometers, for three attacks.
The three consecutive attacks accurately targeted the three opposing forces, turning their areas into black holes that annihilated everything.
First, he used the Death Star Vine to burn his divine body and entangle it with all his might, then he attacked directly with the black hole weapon. This was Su Ke's simple and brutal plan! After completing this step, Su Ke did not show any joy, because he knew that even an attack that was said to be "certain to die under the guise of a cosmic lord" was not necessarily fatal to some kings.
In the demon race's area, a distorted black hole faintly appeared before disappearing without a trace. Almost all the kings of the demon race had perished in that wave of attacks, but some still survived.
"Ah!!!" A roar of extreme anger rang out, and a huge blue wolf appeared in mid-air. At this moment, its body was covered with a layer of deep red armor with strange patterns. Its divine body showed faint signs of damage, and its aura was also weaker than before.
The three demons, along with their allies from other factions, all vanished without a trace, but Qinglang no longer cared.
"17%! It actually cost me 17% of my divine body!" The giant blue wolf's ferocious eyes were filled with anger, resentment, and a hint of shock. "That attack just now actually managed to shatter my divine body even under the protection of my precious treasure, and annihilated 17% of my divine body! Unbelievable! Even a self-destruction at the limit of a King-level expert wouldn't be this terrifying."
On the other side, on the machine race's side, a black hole was born and then disappeared, revealing the scene inside.
The millions of mechanical golems previously controlled by the machine race in battle have been scattered and nearly 90% completely destroyed. The remaining ones are also severely damaged and have completely lost their combat value.
Meanwhile, the alien kings of the machine race camp at the center, although protected by the mechanical puppets of the machine race, absorbed more than 90% of the power of the black hole attack, the remaining force was still extremely terrifying.
Those who were granted the title of king or higher were directly killed without any chance of survival.
Even at the peak of the Kinghood, the probability of survival is very low, and even those who survive are severely injured!
Even those who reach the pinnacle of their power perish due to bad luck, and those who survive all suffer damage to their divine bodies!
Only three of the machine race members were in the best condition, but looking at the desolate scene around them and the complete annihilation of their mechanical puppet army, their expressions became blank.
"I... my puppet army—" A tall mechanical being exclaimed in disbelief. "I spent countless years and endless effort to create these millions of mechanical puppets—"
too suddenly!
They originally brought out the incredibly powerful mechanical puppets to fight against the crazed plant life, but who knew they would encounter such a situation!
"The losses are too great!" another wiry mechanical race member gritted his teeth. "My circular defensive fortress has also been almost completely destroyed. This was my strongest protection."
"My energy reserves are also 80% depleted!"
The three machine race members barely managed to withstand the all-destroying black hole that just now, even working together.
The three mechanical beings were heartbroken.
How much money would it cost to fix this?!
Although their divine bodies were not seriously injured, their property losses were staggering!
The Machine Race prefers to fight using various mechanical weapons, so as long as they are wealthy enough to purchase powerful weapons, they can certainly deal with strong opponents. In fact—if they possess enormous wealth enough to purchase a AAA-level divine base, even a Cosmic Venerable would be helpless against them; a single attack—and even a peak-level King would be certain death.
That's the allure of mechanical weapons.
Similarly, it was also incredibly luxurious.
Like black hole weapons, they are also mechanical weapons, but they still have many limitations. First, they consume a huge amount of energy, and second, they may be dodged by the enemy in advance.
Suk was able to complete this fatal blow only because the Death Star Vine blocked and concealed his movements!
The Zerg faction, on the other hand, fared even worse, with only one Flame Tank King surviving!
Yan Tanwang survived by some unknown means, and his divine aura appeared to be much less weakened than that of the "Sirius Clan".
However, of the original seventeen kings of the Zerg faction, only one remains.
In the blink of an eye, the three factions suffered heavy casualties in their attempts to become kings! Fewer than ten survived in total!
By killing so many kings, Suk also gained a large amount of military merit, at least trillions.
A peak-level King is worth 100 trillion military merits, which is 1000 billion in Mixed Yuan units. More than ten peak-level Kings died in the black hole just now! There was even one at the limit of King status!
However, the limit for being granted the title of King is calculated based on the military achievements at the peak of the King title.
These military achievements alone are enough to make up for the energy consumption of activating the black hole weapon this time, and even make a profit!
However, he frowned. "So none of the three sides are completely wiped out."
Black hole weapons are said to "kill anyone below the level of a cosmic supreme being," but in reality, it depends on the specific circumstances.
For example, the Zerg Queen Immortal represents the most terrifying existence below the Cosmic Sovereign, controlling the Immortal Zerg Legion—a single combined attack is probably not much weaker than Suk's black hole weapon, enough to make the kings of countless races in the universe tremble with fear.
Clearly, none of the three factions present—the Zerg, the Demon, and the Machine—were easy to deal with. Some of them had survived the black hole attack and possessed powerful trump cards, but they also paid a heavy price.
Of course, it's just a black hole that appears for a moment. The black hole only forms for a moment and then disappears. If it were to continue indefinitely, it's another matter whether these powerful individuals could continue to live.
However, maintaining a black hole indefinitely, even at the lowest level, would require more energy than Suk can currently sustain. His current energy is only enough to launch a small-scale attack on each of the three parties simultaneously.
"There's one less low-level black hole attack left, but—" Suk thought to himself, "They're already on guard. It's impossible to catch them off guard like before."
Suk felt a pang of regret. If he could have completely killed one of them, he would have been able to seize their remaining treasures! But now it seemed that he wouldn't be able to get that advantage! The three surviving powerhouses immediately took away the treasures left behind by their fallen allies, and Death Star Vine managed to snatch some of them.
Of course, at least from the results, I didn't lose out! I actually made a profit!
"That Calamity King is too well hidden. He actually possesses such terrifying methods. By the way, he took the treasures of those powerful individuals who perished in the Ice River Continent ruins; he must have used them to exchange for terrifying weapons." King Yan Tan was also secretly shocked. If it hadn't had its own fortuitous encounter, it would have perished in the black hole just now, just like its allies. "To be able to do that—it must have used some extremely costly methods. If those methods can be used once, can they be used a second time? Forget it, no matter what, this Calamity King is not someone I can provoke. I need to leave here as soon as possible."
Yan Tanwang is a little scared.
Although it hadn't lost much of its strength, it was unwilling to continue fighting the Calamity King.
"Found it, the exit of the passage." The strongest person present, Yan Tanwang, was incredibly fierce. Despite being surrounded by the Death Star Vine that burned his divine body, he was still able to move and quickly found the exit of the forbidden space. He rushed in without hesitation and breathed a sigh of relief when he fell into the vortex passage.
Looking back at the towering vines, he thought, "This Calamity King is truly ruthless. I'll have to be careful if I run into him in the future."
"Walk!"
"You 'Calamity King,' you're something else! Don't let us run into you again!"
The last remaining strongman of the mechanical race and the only surviving member of the demon race, Azure Wolf, joined forces to break through the encirclement of the Death Star Vine and enter the passage. Before leaving, they uttered some harsh words.
This time, they suffered a huge setback! It made them both hate and fear the Calamity King.
Suddenly, only Suk and the cat on his shoulder remained in the forbidden area.
"They're all gone." Suk was a little disappointed. He had wanted to find another opportunity to strike, but the enemy was prepared and did not give him a second chance.
Although Death Star Vine tried its best to intercept them, these guys were all very capable, and some even burned their divine bodies to use some of their trump cards.
Looking at the passage where everyone had left, Suk remained calm and didn't rush out. He was worried that they might be ambushed on the other side of the passage, so he wanted to wait until the forbidden area had shifted before leaving through another passage.
