Chapter 258: The Trial Ends, Energy Crystal!
Su Yu gazed at the few points of light in the sky, feeling a sense of eerie suspense in his heart.
Those points of light were all creations of Zhang Chenfeng, monitoring this planet from orbit for a full ten thousand years.
Such large Mechanical Creations would surely consume enormous amounts of energy over such a long period.
If it's really as Su Yu thought, that the energy maintaining those points of light for millennia is actually the corpses of Evil Gods!
In essence, those things are just one giant "Brutal Core" after another!
That Zhang Chenfeng from ten thousand years ago and the Human Empire were truly overwhelmingly powerful.
Originally, over-absorbing Subspace Energy would result in repercussions from the Subspace, enduring disasters.
The Human Empire wanted to develop but couldn't do without Spiritual Energy; it was a deadlock.
But the Human Empire millennia ago thought of a way, using the Evil Gods as Energy Cores.
They captured the Evil Gods from the depths of the Subspace, killed them, and used their corpses to create Energy Cores, to absorb Subspace Energy while having them bear the backlash.
Anyway, Evil Gods don't die, they can withstand infinite backlash.
This explains the Human Empire's strength ten thousand years ago, all built upon the bones of Evil Gods.
Su Yu even entertained a strange notion that the Evil Gods' revenge against humanity seemed quite reasonable.
This is simply bullying the gods too much...
Treat them this way, if Evil Gods don't seek revenge, they wouldn't be called Evil Gods.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that humans ten thousand years ago ultimately had a downfall."
"I must learn a lesson, in the future... use the Brutal Core more cautiously, and not let it backfire."
Su Yu muttered to himself shaking his head.
Although the Evil Gods being treated this way seems a bit miserable.
But Su Yu did not harbor any sympathy-like excessive emotions for the Evil Gods.
These Evil Gods are ruthless and chaotic, the natural enemy of any rational being.
So to Su Yu, the Human Empire dealing with the Evil Gods this way ten thousand years ago was not a problem at all.
The only issue was perhaps the humans of that time were just unlucky, or their technology was insufficient, eventually being backfired by the Evil Gods.
Su Yu naturally didn't want to one day suffer such consequences.
Nor did he want to give up the valuable energy source that was the Brutal Core.
So he had to be careful.
The current Brutal Split Mind, although already dead, has become a corpse.
But Evil Gods never die; their corpses will one day "grow" new brutal will.
Therefore, Su Yu still needed to be vigilant and cautious.
"Not just be wary, but also quickly master the relevant technology, the technology to suppress the revival of the Brutal Split Mind, I must master this, cannot always rely on Zhang Chenfeng's creations to help me."
Su Yu pondered in his heart.
He now had another goal, which was to master the technology from the Human Empire ten thousand years ago of utilizing the Evil Gods.
"Moreover, cannot completely rely on the Empire's technology, after all, the Empire eventually faced a downfall as well. The technology of those days may not be reliable."
"It's best to research on my own and master my own technology of utilizing Evil Gods..."
After carefully thinking through it, Su Yu finally collected his thoughts and looked towards the distant horizon several hundred kilometers away.
The technology of utilizing the Evil Gods is not something that can be acquired in a short while, right now the key is... how are Xie Yitian and Tie Long doing in their battle over there?
Su Yu was a bit worried; his own trial process was earth-shattering.
If Xie Yitian and Tie Long's situation was also of such intensity, could it be that the two of them were already... killed?
Fortunately, Su Yu soon, through his sense of belief, perceived that Tie Long was not yet in life-threatening danger and was relieved.
As for Xie Yitian, he was unsure, hoping he would fend for himself.
Su Yu activated his battle armor and flew towards the direction of the Mechanical City.
At thirteen times the speed of sound, Su Yu quickly returned to the vicinity of the Mechanical City.
And then he saw Tie Long engaged in a lively fight with that hundred-meter-tall Giant God.
The situation for Tie Long was basically a repeat of Su Yu's earlier battle; both sides were close combat experts, clashing rapidly at supersonic speeds in mid-air.
At this moment, Tie Long was already a semi-Mechanical Life, fused with the Galaxy Battle Armor, possessing the ability to fly, and could conduct aerial battles with that Giant God.
However, the Giant God Tie Long faced was much weaker than the one Su Yu faced, with much less aggression.
The fight between the two seemed too weak to Su Yu, too slow, not even reaching ten times the speed of sound; it wasn't even a warm-up for Su Yu.
Even so, Tie Long was drenched in sweat, when had he ever experienced such a level of combat intensity?
That Giant God had nearly eight-star top-level strength, completely overwhelming Tie Long.
Tie Long, facing such a strong adversary, was forced to roar with anger, exerting the power of the Galaxy Warrior and battle armor to the extreme.
His whole body was imbued with the power of "loyalty," continuously clashing with the Giant God.
The semi-mechanical Tie Long was being bombarded with parts and flesh flying all around; nearly half of his skin was gone, exposing the mechanical structure beneath, making him look like an unmasked "Terminator" robot, half flesh, half machine, appearing very formidable.
Meanwhile, Xie Yitian's battle was somewhat bizarre.
The Giant God he faced didn't make any movement, it just hovered quietly in place, confronting Xie Yitian.
As for Xie Yitian, he, too, stood there dazed.
He couldn't exactly be said to be standing in place because Xie Yitian's body was not there, his carrier had already been destroyed earlier in the collision between Su Yu and the Vengeful Demon.
