Chapter 448: Navy Pursuit (Part 2)
"It's Caesar's weapon..."
"Is he really dead?"
The Navy was shocked, not expecting the most formidable tyrant on Crime Prison Island to have perished in a self-detonation.
The transformation of Crime Prison Island was inevitable, even one could say it has already changed.
The structure of the Three Kingdoms Nine Cities has completely collapsed.
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, there was an anomaly in another direction, with fighting erupting underwater.
Immediately, several Angels and a Shura emerged from the water.
"Tai Sui!"
"Hiss, he's still alive!"
"And he's still this huge!"
The Navy was astonished, seeing that the Shura was actually Gao Xin.
He stood at 150 meters tall, weighing over forty thousand tons.
Gao Xin was breathing heavily, standing on a withered and broken throne.
Even though the Seahorse self-destructed in the most advantageous way for him, it still left him extremely devastated.
He immediately dove into the sea, with the Quantum Ghost penetrating underground, but under the terrifying barrage, even the seabed was excavated three feet deep.
After a series of battles and capped by this final explosion, his energy was completely drained, and he could only fully activate the Sea God Transformation to withstand it.
Then, in this area, even the seawater was evaporated entirely, leaving only high-energy ions, and he activated the throne for protection.
In the end, he only had this much left, with his height drastically reduced to 150 meters.
Of course, this still belongs to the Dharma Body, but it certainly counts as a significant loss.
The most crucial thing is that his energy is now exhausted, although Core Fusion is in the process of refining it anew, his entire body's cells are already extremely fatigued.
It's like aging equipment; he needs to rest properly to allow his high-energy cells to regain their divine and full condition.
"But this self-detonation annihilated a naval fleet, wanting to leave, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
Gao Xin, while urging his Heart Power, tried to accelerate energy production, while sweeping his gaze over the encircling Navy.
There seemed to be seven or eight Dragon Level, likely led by a True Dragon or even a Quasi-Dragon King.
Of course, these were not worth concerning, what truly made Gao Xin wary was the space battleship overhead.
And the dozens of Angel Robots forming an encircling net.
Twenty Authority Angels, ten Strength Angels, ten Energy Angels, and one Main Angel.
"Capture Tai Sui! Dare to resist, shoot on the spot!"
Max, in his fury, disregarded any supernova and promptly ordered their capture.
Generally, if the offender has no ability to resist or surrenders, the Navy would choose to capture alive, only killing during a fight.
So when Suzuki Shougen was thrown out by Luo Yi during the jailbreak, he could even return intact, merely by paying a ransom.
But clearly, having caused such significant losses to the Navy, it's not just a ransom issue.
Moreover, such situations usually don't apply to 'big shot' individuals, especially the rebellious ones!
Otherwise, during Caesar's expedition, Shelly wouldn't have needed to sacrifice herself for others to escape.
According to Shelly's memory, Gao Xin knew that even if the few Quasi-Dragon Kings weren't killed but captured during the expedition, the island would still be turned upside down, with inhabitants suffering greatly.
So Shelly fought to the death to ensure their full retreat.
Currently, the situation was quite similar; if Gao Xin didn't return within a few days, Adam could annihilate the Holy Spirit Society...
"I thought I'd have to face Caesar after surviving the explosion, but didn't expect it would be the Navy..."
"Where is Caesar?"
Gao Xin tried to buy some more time to rest.
But the robots followed orders and took action directly.
In an instant, fifty-one Angels took action, and Gao Xin's eyes turned sharp, using the Demon Blade Frenzy.
Though he was heavily wounded and exhausted, he remained ferocious.
He fought his way up through such means, rarely winning an affluent battle, and to be honest, this was instead his comfort zone...
The more battered the person, the broader the dark logic!
"Caesar? Caesar is dead."
Max said coldly, "If you don't want to die, you'd better surrender."
The Navy valued the talents on Crime Prison Island, wanting ransom for the weak, modules for the strong.
They had their advanced research institutions, having previously captured people from the Jiyi Army for research, let alone Crime Prison Island.
All sorts of exclusive modules, which even the Silver Tower couldn't exchange for, they could only obtain through eating people's brains.
According to the latest intelligence, Tai Sui's entire body was composed of exclusive modules, especially the Life Transition, which was overwhelmingly astounding.
Despite his anger, he didn't wish to kill such a figure.
The Navy's dominance relied on 'people' being strong; if it were merely strong weaponry and equipment, the outcome would be as bleak as the Army's, which was eventually integrated into the Navy, after all, who cares who the equipment is given to?
"Caesar's dead?" Gao Xin was shocked.
He stood up and didn't see Caesar, surprised to find he had really died.
From the previous explosion, the distance Seahorse calculated was accurate. If he could survive, logically, Caesar should also have survived.
Gao Xin recalled carefully, it seemed Caesar had given his last precious time and Dharma Body protection techniques to his teammates.
"Unbelievable, that guy, just died like that..."
Gao Xin felt emotional; both he and Caesar were supposed to survive the explosion, while King Xiahou and the others were unlikely, almost certain to die.
But Caesar chose to give the chance to live to his teammates, sacrificing himself.
The tyrant, madman, Evil Dragon in the eyes of the world was surprisingly good to his own people.
People said he was crazily brutal, but that's the perspective of outsiders. In fact, this guy was supremely protective and incredibly devoted to his people; otherwise, why would so many loyal followers be under him?
Of course, with the Alan incident, he didn't handle it well, or rather, the partners in Caesar's eyes were only the old group who fought alongside Shelly back then.
"But I haven't finished learning my War Divinity yet... damn..."
Gao Xin was frustrated, not sure if he could still learn it after dying and merging with Netherworld.
In theory, he couldn't, because after dying, one directly integrates into the Great Saint Spirit.
Divinity is unrelated to memory; if he could extract divinity from the Great Saint Spirit, theoretically, he could acquire all divinity from the Great Saint Spirit.
"Let's solve the current issue first; I must escape back."
Gao Xin performed the Demon Blade Spin Slash, adopting the least exerting way to fight.
Each move was desperate, leveraging little against much.
"Swash!"
In just one encounter, over a dozen Angels fell, including the strongest among them, the Main Angel.
Of course, they weren't dead; his current destructive power was insufficient, and these Angels could still reassemble.
But a path was already opened, and Gao Xin swiftly headed towards Crime Prison Island.
According to the agreement, the Navy wouldn't land on Crime Prison Island.
"What the hell!"
The Navy officer was shocked, unable to fathom how Tai Sui, though so weak, could slaughter Angels.
This even included the Main Angel at top-tier True Dragon level; what kind of terrifying combat strength was this?
To make it even more absurd, he didn't even see Tai Sui using any special moves — just slashing, merely relying on the Sword Light of the Demon Blade to sever them.
Incredibly plain and simple! Yet somehow incomprehensible...
"Stop him!"
Max, not wanting to let Gao Xin escape, suddenly erupted with raging vigor, blocking Gao Xin.
His eyes emitted thick laser beams, while his two arms unleashed massive Light Blade strikes.
"Quasi-Dragon King..."
Seeing this power level, Gao Xin realized it was beyond an ordinary True Dragon, already surpassing boundaries.
But it wasn't any kind of refined move; it was achieved through Cyber transformation.
"Crimson Reverse Moon Slash!"
Gao Xin was worried about lacking energy; he couldn't unleash a major move yet, but the Crimson Reverse Moon Slash was a divine skill that leveraged little against much.
"Clang!"
His timing was precise, instantly reflecting all of Max's High Energy Strikes.
With a thunderous bang, Max's body exploded, losing half of it on the spot.
His inherent strength was indeed solid, allowing him to promptly evade some of it.
Yet, even so, the lower half was entirely obliterated.
Then Gao Xin executed a slash, launching a chain of attacks, his blade slicing like Ghost God, a cold gleam flashed, beheading him!
"Slash!"
Unfortunately, Gao Xin was extremely exhausted by now; this slash only penetrated enough to sever the head. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, this slash would have shattered him into pieces.
"That's it? Seeing your energy, I thought you were a Quasi-Dragon King, but it seems you can't even defeat Kritos, can you?"
Gao Xin felt triumphant; initially seeing the guy's imposing manner, he was heavy-hearted.
The destructive power seemed at Bodhluo level! Essentially T2 Quasi-Dragon King.
Unexpectedly, upon engagement, it completely lacked the invincible aura of Crime Prison Island's powerhouses; Gao Xin was somewhat unaccustomed... a dignified Quasi-Dragon King, wasn't even mythical consciousness!
No problem then; Gao Xin believed his brute force could play him to death.
Now standing over a hundred meters tall, his weight remained significant; exhaustion was relative to his condition at full strength, plus consciousness, still considered Quasi-Dragon King combat strength.
"Ah!"
"General!"
The Navy was horrified; Tai Sui was so weak, yet in two moves, he severely injured the headquarters admiral, just too formidable.
Max was even more dumbfounded, not considering himself weak, yet why was his consciousness utterly overwhelmed?
He knew Tai Sui was strong, but never seeing it firsthand, it left him stunned.
Only upon real engagement did he realize the pressure against Tai Sui was ridiculously overwhelming, making every action seem like a mistake!
