Chapter 170: Titan, Mysterious Shadow
Watching the top geniuses from various civilizations being slaughtered, now helplessly fleeing in panic, Xu Luo could only observe silently.
At this moment, although there were human geniuses among those being attacked, under the joint assault of several top Styx civilization geniuses, if he dared to intervene, he would only become another target. He couldn't contribute much, so he could only let them fend for themselves.
He really couldn't help in this situation. If he had the ability, he would lend a hand, but in the current circumstances, he could barely protect himself.
Worried about being caught in the crossfire, Xu Luo directly moved his starship fleet back a bit to avoid accidental injury.
Because those people were starting to flee everywhere, and the Styx civilization people were in pursuit, the range was expanding. Soon, they might run to his area.
As for his previous plan of waiting for everyone to enter the God's Tomb and then blocking the entrance to fight them one by one as they came out, this idea could only be reluctantly abandoned now.
He could only lurk nearby, watching to see if there would be any opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
After all, in the current situation, he wasn't without gains.
On the battlefield, the Mayflies and Alpha Assimilation Zerg were reaping great harvests. He just needed to wait for some time to recall these things.
After directly retreating, Xu Luo temporarily shifted his gaze from there because some problems had arisen with the Alpha Assimilation Zerg he had placed in those plane worlds.
At this time, he directly projected his consciousness over there.
"Is it here?" Three massive figures descended into the plane world.
Looking at the lifeless plane world, they all felt surprised.
Their Demi-God avatars had lost contact with them here earlier.
Out of curiosity, they sent another avatar to check the situation again.
Usually, even if their avatars were dispersed by someone, before being dispersed, they would transmit the last scene to their main body, letting them know what situation the avatar encountered.
But unexpectedly, their previous avatars suddenly lost contact with them without transmitting any information.
It was because of this that they sent avatars again to check the situation.
However, when descending into this plane world, they were surprised to find that they couldn't see any moving creatures here, as if it was a dead world without any living beings.
The three avatars, since they were just here to check the situation, didn't bring vast power. It didn't matter if they died, so they flew through the sky of the entire plane world without any concern, checking everywhere to see what had happened.
But the entire world's mountains, rivers, lakes, and swamps were all normal. The strange thing was that the cities were empty, and there were no birds or beasts in the wild, not a single creature to be seen.
"This situation is too bizarre," even for Demi-Gods, they had never seen such a situation.
This was a medium-level plane world, with quite a few creatures. Even if they wanted to kill all the creatures in a medium-level plane world, it would be difficult to achieve.
Because besides humans or large creatures, there were many small things that were hard to find. But now the situation was that not a single creature could be seen.
"What is this thing?" feeling something fall on him, one Demi-God avatar curiously asked.
However, the other two Demi-God avatars couldn't respond to his question anymore. Under his surprised gaze, the bodies of these two Demi-God avatars gradually became shorter, then their faith power dispersed with a bang, and their entire bodies exploded.
"What's going on?" This Demi-God avatar was a bit slow to react, not understanding what was happening. How did they suddenly explode?
He curiously looked at the tiny particles in his hand, not understanding what they were.
He could feel that there was a power contained in them, but didn't understand what it was.
He held them in his hand, planning to take them back for thorough research later.
"Throw it away quickly, it's dangerous!" Two beams of light appeared in the sky again, and two voices flew out from them, shouting at him loudly.
"How did you come back again?" This God avatar asked curiously. The previous avatars had exploded, and immediately two more avatars were transmitted over. This speed was a bit fast!
"Throw that thing away quickly, it's dangerous!" These two Demi-God avatars were very vigilant, so when the Alpha Assimilation Zerg seeds parasitized them earlier, they immediately sensed the anomaly. Therefore, they directly dispersed their avatars and then projected new ones.
But unexpectedly, one of the three was a blockhead. Despite knowing this world was very bizarre, he had no vigilance at all.
"What's dangerous?" This avatar was still a bit confused, but suddenly he sensed something unusual.
Something had entered his body and was absorbing his power.
The next moment, his entire body directly exploded, dispersing this avatar.
"The state of this world should be related to these things," the taller Demi-God avatar frowned as he spoke.
"It should be their doing. They're so aggressive towards us, and the highest creatures in this world can only reach Silver Tier 9. They probably had little resistance when facing these things."
The other Demi-God avatar also nodded.
As for the newly lit teleportation beam and the figure flying out of it, they couldn't be bothered with that fellow. Let him die.
The three figures flew around the plane world, constantly checking everything that had happened here.
At this point, they had become smarter, creating a protective layer on their surface. Any object approaching them would be discovered immediately, so the Alpha Assimilation Zerg seeds could no longer parasitize their bodies.
Xu Luo sensed Demi-God avatars repeatedly entering that plane world, which made him alert and notice them.
Seeing that basically all creatures in this plane world had been completely parasitized, Xu Luo felt it was about time. He directly chose to teleport all the Zerg eggs from this entire plane world, greatly enriching his reserve forces.
As for this plane world, he left it to these alien Demi-Gods. After all, he didn't have the energy to develop this world.
However, in the time after, he could sell the coordinates of this plane world to other members of the Umbrella internally, letting them compete with these alien Demi-Gods.
This way, he could have multiple sources of income.
After teleporting away all the Zerg eggs and Alpha Assimilation Zerg, Xu Luo no longer paid attention to anything in this plane world.
The other plane worlds didn't have similar situations, so he didn't bother with them, just letting the Alpha Assimilation Zerg develop slowly.
Assimilating an entire plane world wasn't an easy task. Whether it was the spread of Alpha Assimilation Zerg seeds or the assimilation after seed parasitism, it all required some time. As for him at this point, he just needed to wait patiently.
The central region was in the midst of a big fight now, with countless alien Demi-Gods gathering there. He had no desire to participate, nor did he have that capability.
Turning his head, Xu Luo wasn't idle. Although he was still paying attention to the situation there, he turned his head and directly drove his starships to start attacking the Divine Domains along the way.
He attacked every one he saw!
Unable to get the biggest benefit, he decided to get some small gains on the side. For him, this was also a way to compensate for his losses.
Anyway, no matter what, he absolutely couldn't return empty-handed.
After an unknown amount of time, a huge commotion suddenly occurred in the center, causing any means of observation to fail at this moment.
Because the elements in that area had become chaotic, it could no longer be probed by any means.
At this time, Xu Luo could only roughly judge what was happening there through messages in the regional channel.
It was then that he learned which civilization those starships came from.
Earlier, when he saw their starships retreat, he just thought there was danger, so they chose to withdraw.
Those people actually came from the Styx civilization, one of the fifteen level-8 civilizations.
Just those few people alone had beaten countless top geniuses from lower civilizations to a pulp, truly very powerful.
In the regional channel, Xu Luo learned that after those people had beaten the top geniuses from lower civilizations and basically finished clearing the field, the God's Tomb had an incident, and the explosion came from within the tomb.
After the explosion, regardless of who was close, all suffered heavy injuries.
Following the explosion, the Divine Spark flew out of the God's Tomb, continuously flying through the void.
At this point, no one cared about fighting anymore. Everyone chased after the Divine Spark, which was why the war had subsided.
Xu Luo wasn't very clear about the subsequent news.
Because those who could chat in the regional channel didn't have the qualifications to access core information.
He naturally couldn't obtain any meaningful intelligence.
It was just a bit regrettable. He didn't expect the God's Tomb to explode like that, and the Divine Spark had flown away. His idea of fishing in troubled waters could only be abandoned. That thing basically had no connection with him anymore.
So Xu Luo could only turn his frustration into strength, venting his anger on the surrounding aliens.
Unable to get the biggest benefit, he decided to take down more alien members, increasing his own strength a bit more.
While conquering other aliens, Xu Luo noticed that those with human marks didn't continue the chase but directly left this star region. It seemed they felt they couldn't wade deeper into these troubled waters.
Xu Luo thought this choice was quite good.
Earlier, under the siege of Cocoxia and other top Styx civilization geniuses, their losses were not small.
If they continued, to be honest, no one knew what situation they might encounter.
If they really had good luck and found the Divine Spark, it wouldn't be a good thing, but a disaster.
Why didn't Xu Luo chase after it?
Did he really have no hope at all?
Actually, with his current strength, he still had the qualifications to compete.
But in the current situation, even if geniuses like Cocoxia and Apegirena obtained the Divine Spark, they would become the target of public criticism. They would be surrounded and attacked by all others, and might not be able to keep it.
Xu Luo naturally didn't want to risk it for a Divine Spark.
If there was no danger, or if the benefits outweighed the losses, then he could compete for it.
But the current situation was that Xu Luo's daily output was already very good, and he had Alpha Assimilation Zerg outside assimilating Zerg eggs for him. His strength was constantly growing.
In this situation, how desperate would he have to be to stake everything on a Divine Spark?
In such a chaotic situation, if his fleet was destroyed, the loss would be too great and would seriously affect his development.
Now the central region of the star region had basically become a dead zone. So many beings had died in battle, Demi-Gods had fallen, and countless Divine Domains had shattered.
Death qi and resentment were rampant, which would only become a breeding ground for divine aberrations.
Xu Luo felt a bit regretful. He had finally defeated so many people, but the appearance of a God's Tomb disrupted all his plans. He would have to find another star region to start over again.
As they left and the nearby Divine Domains also changed positions, no one knew that in the original central battlefield of the star region, a mysterious force began to revive, devouring everything around with a mad will.
Although Xu Luo had arranged for Mayflies to clean up the battlefield, how many dead creatures were there?
Moreover, towards the end, the fight became more and more intense, and many Mayflies were also accidentally injured. Therefore, he directly recalled the Mayflies and Alpha Assimilation Zerg.
Anyway, if he really needed to, there would be plenty of opportunities to obtain large amounts of evolution points and Zerg eggs.
In the previous situation, continuing to leave them there would only result in further losses.
On the battlefield, there were broken Divine Domain fragments everywhere. Even the chaotic flows of the void couldn't dissolve so many Divine Domain fragments so quickly.
After that mysterious force swept through, everything at the site disappeared.
It wasn't absorbed or devoured, but disappeared, as if nothing had ever existed there.
Whether it was various substances, Divine Domain fragments, or creature corpses, everything vanished, like words being erased from a blackboard.
Continuously sweeping through, a black shadow appeared, standing in the void like a giant.
It didn't even need to move. Everything around it automatically flew towards it, and it was like a black hole, accepting everything that came.
"Titan!"
A deep, malicious growl echoed in the void. However, there were no Divine Domains nearby anymore, so no one knew of its existence.
The body of the black shadow continued to grow, becoming more and more solid. Although it was only a shadow, it could actually walk in the void, constantly merging with everything around it.
