Chapter 690 - 29: The Caller: Full Firepower

But that was fine. ’Any being corrupted by the Xiu Ge Autonomous Combat Unit becomes a part of me!’

’Praise me, and I’ll secrete hormones to make you feel pleasure. Don’t, and I’ll stimulate your nerves to make you feel pain. The human body, Soul and all, is nothing more than a complex carbon-based machine. No matter how steadfast their Beliefs, no matter how profound their desires, they are all just slaves to nerves and hormones, without exception! Once I tame them, I will possess their memories, their pasts, their adoration, their Souls—their everything!’

’And naturally, I will become them!’

The giant silver snail, the ancient alien’s combat form, now felt a murderous intent as vast as the ocean, radiating from its distant ’compatriot’—its enemy!

"And you still say you’re not a Monster! How could you erupt with such murderous intent for strangers you have no connection to, no friendship with, no kinship to?!"

The Deep Space Caller’s massive shell vibrated as rows of cannon muzzles began to emerge from its fortress-like body. It laughed maniacally. "What normal human acts like this? I’ve eaten plenty of Zhengguo People. They all know that ’the joys and sorrows of others are not one’s own; I only find them noisy!’"

Then, an endless torrent of scorching light, like a meteor shower in reverse, erupted. Hundreds, even thousands, of clustered Light Cannons blanketed Su Zhou’s position in a devastating bombardment. For a moment, even the satellites orbiting the Moon—and Meng Jin in his command module, having already adjusted his course to re-enter a low-lunar orbit—could clearly see it. Far away on the Moon, a silver brilliance flared up from the surface and streaked into space!

But even more dazzling than the silver torrent was a brilliant Spiritual Light that flared first cyan and purple, then gold and red!

"I’m angry because I choose to be. What does it matter to me if others aren’t?"

Returning in a flash from the distance, Su Zhou plowed straight through the countless incoming beams of light, shattering them all. His voice was so calm, it was as if that tsunami of murderous intent had been a mere illusion. But the immense heat radiating from the Divine Blade in his hand, a heat rivaling the sun itself, spread in every direction. "To apply the logic of ordinary humans to me..."

"That kind of thinking is, in itself, a mark of the weak."

At that moment, white Dragon Scales began to materialize on the surface of Su Zhou’s skin. Gripping the Divine Blade tightly, Su Zhou spoke in a tone tinged with intrigue. "You see this Divine Blade of mine? It is a convergence of the Aspiration Power of All Living Beings. Against anything immortal, against any Monster the world would call a Demon or a Demon King, its destructive power is absurdly strong."

This was no empty boast. Even in its combat form, the Deep Space Caller could still feel the terrifying power of the Blade of Annihilation. It remembered how the arm wounded by the blade had been unable to heal. It had been forced to sever the entire damaged limb just to be able to perform a Rebirth.

The Monster grew cautious. Meanwhile, hearing its master’s words, the Divine Blade, now possessing even greater Spiritual Energy, quivered in delight!

Su Zhou: "However... I don’t need any of those special effects to kill you."

For a split second, both the Deep Space Caller and the jubilant Divine Blade were stunned.

Then, Su Zhou, having entered the first stage of his partial True Body, moved at over ten times the speed of sound, raising the Blade of Annihilation in his right hand. The black and white Flame of Sin blazed furiously, mingling with the young man’s scorching, rising fury as it poured into the Divine Blade. This caused the golden-red blaze of Desire Power to erupt with a light like a solar corona, blooming across the Moon Surface!

The terrifying heat had not even begun to unleash its true power, yet its fearsome Spiritual Power radiation was enough to annihilate and ignite the approaching silver streams of light. After turning them into golden-red torches, it blasted them all away.

There was no explosion, no resistance. Under the force of this immense Spiritual Power, which surpassed that of any normal Commander Tier Cultivator, all attacks directed at Su Zhou were mere dust. They were destined to become scattered sparks in the fiery heat, only to be extinguished in the frigid void.

"You wish!"

This terrifying Anomaly was merely the prelude to an attack. Even one as conceited as the Deep Space Caller was forced to go all out. It could no longer rely on simply overwhelming its foe with streams of silver energy. It began to unleash its true power: ’Telekinesis’ strong enough to move mountains, taking control of its surroundings.

Telekinesis is said to be an all-powerful force.

A Flame Ability is merely the acceleration of molecular motion; a Frost Ability, merely its deceleration. From Thunderbolt and lightning to Gale and Flowing Body, all motion, all phenomena—even Optical Invisibility—nearly any ability can be simulated with Telekinesis.

The Deep Space Caller had no systematic lineage from Earth. Its power—aside from its self-modification into a ’Shapeless’ being and the Divine Technique that converted the attention of others into its own strength—was derived from an ancient alien civilization’s Cultivation of the self and the power of ’Spiritual Energy.’

And the most common external manifestation of this power was the seemingly omnipotent ’Telekinesis.’

The giant silver snail shell began to emit a crystalline glow as a sea of Telekinesis started to manipulate all physical phenomena in the vicinity. In an instant, the Moon Surface, despite being bathed in sunlight with temperatures reaching 180 degrees Celsius, began to cool rapidly. The speed of molecules slowed, and all motion was brought to a crawl. A frigid cold of over 150, even 200 degrees below zero, began to spread. And the area around the charging Su Zhou was, of course, no exception.
