Chapter 279 Star Core Thunder Prison
The message traveled from Baghdad to the headquarters of the Mediterranean Union, and then to the European Union Joint Defense Headquarters, taking four minutes.
European Union Joint Defense Headquarters.
Claude Reynolds is chairing the morning briefing, which was originally scheduled to be titled "Credibility Assessment of the Great Xia Global Counter-Offensive Report," a topic that Reynolds added himself last night.
Suddenly, the holographic screen at the back of the conference room lit up.
The intelligence officer cut into the footage without even asking permission, a move that violated the Joint Defense Headquarters' meeting procedures, but the intelligence officer didn't care.
The screen displays satellite observation data that was just uploaded by the Baghdad city defense command.
The Poison Dragon King's psionic signal disappeared within forty-seven seconds, and the battlefield footage showed the reservoir covered with countless Poison Dragon corpses.
"The Poisonous Dragon King has been entrenched in the upper reaches of the Euphrates River for thirty years, and no fewer than two hundred thousand soldiers have died at its hands. Forty-seven seconds?"
One of the representatives couldn't help but speak up.
Twenty seconds later, the second scene cuts in.
Levant Coast, Tier 6 Salt Crystal King, 700 meters long, took 51 seconds to kill.
The battle in the scene could almost be described as "casual." The salt crystal beast's proud, tens of meters thick salt crystal shell was like a dried mud shell in front of that silver-armored figure, shattering with a single strike.
Residents of the Levant filmed the entire battle from the city walls, and the video has begun to go viral on the global internet.
The third section follows: the Apennine Peninsula, Mount Vesuvius, and the sixth-order lava python.
The scene captured by the satellite imagery caused every representative present to instinctively lean back.
Song Chen jumped directly into the crater of Mount Vesuvius, fought the lava python in the lava for three minutes, and then dragged the 1,100-meter-long lava python's corpse out of the crater.
The church bells of Naples rang out loudly in the background of the video.
Finally, there's the Strait of Gibraltar, the sixth-order deep-sea octopus, the mortal enemy that the European Union's joint fleet failed to defeat three times in its three encirclements.
In the scene, Song Chen only made one strike, compressing the lightning to the blade, and cleaved the entire strait in two.
The seawater was cut in two, revealing underwater caves on the seabed.
When the carcass of the deep-sea octopus surfaced, the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people gathered on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were fully recorded by the satellite microphone and echoed in the conference room in Brussels for nearly a minute.
The four beast kings, from the first to the last, took less than an hour and a half in total.
Renault stood up and tapped the table with his fingers. The conference room fell silent, and all the representatives looked at him.
"Now I propose that the European Union fully mobilize to reclaim the lost territory occupied by the alien beasts."
Let's vote.
The raised hands of dozens of delegates resembled a forest that had suddenly sprung up.
Passed unanimously.
The European Union Joint Defense Headquarters issued an official statement ten minutes later. The statement consisted of three paragraphs, but its core message was: the entire European Union is now in a state of recapture.
Within five minutes, more than fifty countries shared the European Union's statement.
The Union for the Mediterranean, the West African Federation, the Union of South American Nations, the Commonwealth of Southeast Asian Nations, and the African Community.
Countries and regions that remained silent or politely questioned the initial notification had their responses completely rewritten within an hour.
"The United States requests to establish a direct communication channel with Representative Song."
"The Xiong Kingdom retracted its previous comments and apologized to the Great Xia."
"The Mediterranean Union Parliament unanimously passed an emergency motion to grant Song Chen, a member of the Great Xia Parliament, the title of honorary Mediterranean citizen."
"The South American Union requests that Representative Song travel to the South Atlantic after completing the clearing operations in Europe."
……
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Daxia sorted and archived these replies one by one in the duty room.
Song Chen didn't pay attention to these things.
He sat atop a cliff on the north shore of the Strait of Gibraltar, facing the 1,500-meter-long carcass of a deep-sea octopus on the surface of the sea.
The setting sun slanted in from the Atlantic Ocean, turning the entire strait into a golden-red hue.
The base cities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were brightly lit, and the sounds of celebratory songs and bells could be faintly heard from afar.
He's browsing the system store.
After killing the four Mediterranean beast kings and their minions, the total kill value reached 120 million.
He sat on the cliffs of Gibraltar for a while, browsing through every category of the Star Core Store.
He was thinking about something: he had been using thunder all along.
Starting from Anning City, lightning has been his core tactic; he's mastered it to the core.
Combat habits are the hardest thing to change on the battlefield. Once you are deeply accustomed to a certain combat style, rashly changing the system will only slow down your reaction time.
A fraction of a second of hesitation can mean the difference between life and death in a sixth-tier battle.
However, he had already figured out the upper limit of the Nine Heavens Thunder. Now, this S-level ability is mainly used for teamwork and reaping small monsters.
It's not very useful against truly powerful enemies; you still have to rely on swordsmanship to solve the problem.
Next, we'll enter the Atlantic Ocean, and then the Pacific Ocean. Of the more than 300 beast kings in the world, over 250 are in the sea.
He made up his mind to buy a lightning-type star core-level superpower.
He turned to the third page of the Star Core-level Abilities category, his finger hovering over a product.
【Star Core Thunder Prison】
Effect: Generates a star core lightning field around the user, which can generate multiple directional lightning dragons. When a target is hit, a psionic blast occurs, causing chain damage to surrounding beasts. The star core lightning uses psionic energy as a medium, not seawater, so its underwater destructive power is the same as that on land.
Price: 8500 million kill points
Note: Purchasing this ability will override your original lightning ability.
"Covering up original superpowers," Song Chen hesitated for a moment as he looked at these words.
The Nine Heavens Thunder had been with him for a long time, and the Thunder Light Domain had always been his magic weapon for clearing out minor monsters. Now that he was going to replace it, it was impossible for him to say that he felt nothing at all.
But he dismissed the thought after only two seconds.
The carcass of the deep-sea octopus was still floating on the surface of the sea, its eight tentacles limply spread out on the water.
When Song Chen killed it, he compressed the lightning onto the blade to cleave the strait. If he had already mastered the Star Core Lightning Prison at that time, he could have cut the strait without compression.
He clicked "buy".
A new power surged into the body from the depths of the system.
Unlike the grand beam of light from the previous Starshine Infusion, the new ability directly merged into the meridians, intersecting and fusing with the original Nine Heavens Thunder Arc.
The golden-purple electric arcs were re-tempered in the meridians, changing the color from purplish-gold to pure silver, and the density more than doubled.
He stretched out his palm, fingers spread wide.
A ball of silver lightning leaped from his palm.
Silver arcs of electricity danced at his fingertips, each one finer and brighter than the previous golden-purple arcs, their psionic density so high that the surrounding air was spontaneously ionizing.
With a thought, silver arcs of electricity condensed in his palm into a lightning dragon as thick as a finger, which swung around his wrist, shaking its head and tail.
The head of the Thunder Dragon vaguely resembles the outline of a dragon's head, and its scales, horns, and whiskers are all formed from lightning.
Its binding force doesn't rely on brute force to tighten, but rather on using psionic shockwaves to blast the target apart at the cellular level.
With another thought, he sent a thunder dragon flying from his palm toward a piece of floating wreckage on the sea.
The silver light that exploded upon impact briefly illuminated the entire strait, and the shockwave pushed aside a swell hundreds of meters wide.
He closed his palms with satisfaction.
"Walk."
