Chapter 255: "This Is the Blue Star's Way of Doing Things.
```
This is like an AD equipped with Six-God Equipment trading blows in place with a Barbarian King who only has one set of gear.
Though your damage is high,
within my Invincible Time, it's entirely enough to hack you to death.
I don't need to be very strong myself, I just need to be able to hack you to death during the Invincible Time.
But...
Soon, people in the live stream noticed something was amiss—where did Chen Yi go?
Somehow, Chen Yi had disappeared without a trace.
The relentless attacks continued to assault the Solar Star player, unable to breach his defense or even inflict a scratch, but they persevered in a dogged and professional manner.
"Where is he?"
Qiu Hao, suddenly aware that something was wrong, felt a deep fear in his heart for the first time. Frantically searching through his inventory, he shouted in the global loudspeaker, "Anyone with a Prop or Skill to locate people, activate it now! If we don't find Chen Yi within the Invincible Time, we're all dead!!!"
He naturally knew Chen Yi was hiding somewhere.
But now the problem was, he fucking didn't know where Chen Yi had hidden.
The guy just vanished into thin air right in front of him.
Damn it, how could he have forgotten this?
He had only considered that although Chen Yi had strong attacks, his defense was weak. With 37 seconds of Invincible Time, they could withstand the firepower and all rush him at once, and just their spit could drown Chen Yi.
But he hadn't thought about what to do if Chen Yi hid during his Invincible Time.
He hadn't thought about it at all.
Or perhaps he had, but his subconscious made him avoid dwelling on it. As if by doing so, the issue would never arise.
But the current situation was this.
He had only 20 seconds left!
If he didn't find Chen Yi and kill him within these 20 seconds, then Qiu Hao, all the players here, and the entire Solar Star would die at Chen Yi's hands!
"Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!!!!"
With a ferocious expression, Qiu Hao rifled through his inventory, sweeping over each item in hopes of finding a Prop that could locate people, but without prior preparation, it was far too late!
At this moment, he was like a headless fly, completely losing the standard of rational thought he normally possessed.
Any normal person,
with a countdown of only ten or so seconds on their life, would hardly be able to stay calm enough to think straight!
Just as the Invincible Time was about to run out in a few seconds,
a shout burst forth from among the Solar Star players behind him: "I have one!"
The next second—
A beam of starlight suddenly shot out from behind, targeting a specific spot in mid-air. As the starlight passed, Chen Yi, who was hiding in the Mirror World, was forcibly expelled, returning to reality.
Chen Yi had indeed been hiding in the Mirror World, but now he had been forced out by the beam of starlight.
"Found him!"
Qiu Hao, who had nearly fallen into despair, saw this and his eyes lit up with renewed hope. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw all the offensive Props from his inventory at Chen Yi in mid-air as if they were worthless!
Even the Props that were cherished and seldom used due to their usage limit,
were thrown without a second thought!
Everyone knew that if they killed Chen Yi within the Invincible Time, Solar Star would be reborn and usher in a new era—a one that belonged to them!
But if they failed to kill Chen Yi within that time,
the only thing waiting for them would be extermination.
There were no other options.
No one believed that Chen Yi, after killing Qiu Hao, would think the score settled and quietly leave.
The Solar Star players behind him also threw all the Props and Skills they had in their arsenal at Chen Yi without regard for the cost, with myriad colors of light striking towards Chen Yi in mid-air at lightning speed!
The Blue Star players watching the live stream, without exception, subconsciously clutched the hems of their clothes, their palms sweating profusely.
Even Li Yide, who had his differences with Chen Yi,
was now sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands clasped together and eyes closed, praying fervently.
Although he wasn't particularly fond of Chen Yi, feeling like Chen Yi stole his limelight, Chen Yi was representing Blue Star at this moment. Frankly speaking, he hoped that Chen Yi would rampage through the enemies, showing those foreign players the power and consistent style of the Blue Star players!
Not to just die here in such a suffocating manner.
"Pretty good."
Chen Yi glanced casually at the flood of system notifications popping up in front of him. In a fraction of a second, he received thousands of control effects, including curses that could render one infertile.
And some incredibly severe injuries had also mysteriously appeared on him.
However,
'Absolute Purity!'
Everything restores!
He didn't even feel the effects of being controlled—Absolute Purity had already removed all negative effects. Only the lingering pain on his body told him that a Prop must have hit him.
Then, before more Props could take effect, he didn't hesitate upon re-entering the Mirror World.
D-level Skill 'Mirror Man'
Allows one to step into the Mirror World and stay for ten minutes, during which no attacks can be launched from within, nor can any damage from the outside world be received.
A Skill not considered to be of high rank.
But quite useful in critical moments, like now.
In the level-up game, the power and titles of Props cannot be absolutely measured by their level. A D-level Skill may not necessarily be useless, and an A-level Skill may not necessarily be all-conquering.
The level system only indicates the rarity of the Skill.
Not the power of the Skill.
Rarity can to some extent be indicative of power, but it cannot absolutely determine power.
37 seconds of invincible time.
Merely the time it takes to smoke two cigarettes.
It quickly passed.
When there was only one second left of the invincible time.
Qiu Hao, who still had no way to deal with Chen Yi, looked down at the golden light on his own body that had begun to flicker violently, and at the falling meteor shower above his head, the Gatling Buddha hovering in midair, the overwhelming seas of otherworldly flowers, and the countless bullets erupting from beneath the ground.
His eyes filled with despair, he knew he was beyond salvation!
He didn't plan thoroughly enough.
The day that Solar Star would be extinguished was today. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
In a trance, he seemed to suddenly understand why the Black Dragon Guild Leader from Neutron Star chose to step down so resolutely. Perhaps being against such a person was truly a terrifying matter.
If... if he hadn't provoked Chen Yi, then Chen Yi wouldn't have appeared in the twofold trial of Solar Star.
Although without this incident, Solar Star wouldn't have gained so many props, nor would it have such strong unity, it would still have had a chance to pass the twofold trial, instead of announcing the extinction of its people like now.
If he had another chance, he... might seriously consider the advice given by the Black Dragon Guild Leader.
It's just.
Just as love doesn't turn back, he had no chance to choose again.
Qiu Hao's eyes were full of fear of death and reluctance to leave this world, as he looked up at the sky filled with otherworldly flowers and the bullets showering down like locusts, and he screamed hoarsely with a ferocious expression, neck straining.
"Solar will never fall!!!"
"On behalf of the Solar Tribe, I issue a Hundred Generations Bounty!!!"
As soon as the words were spoken!
The golden light on the body of the Solar Star players instantly shattered, the invincible time was up.
The next second—
Almost instantly, a large number of players burst into blood mists at their locations, with only a few relying on defensive props to struggle on!
It's just...
The attacks they were enduring were far too many!
And at that moment, those meteors which had been falling from the sky for a minute arrived late, each meteor several tens of meters in diameter, bringing with it a ring of flames, crushing towards the ground unstoppably!
Tens of thousands of meteors, passing through the phantom of the Buddha in the sky, directly smashed towards the Solar Star players on the ground!
"Boom!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
The whole ground was shaking violently, as if half the sky had fallen, and the massive cloud of dust engulfed the entire battlefield.
...
Some Solar Star players were invaded by the otherworldly flowers and began to transform into Floral People, but before losing consciousness, they were blasted into pieces by countless bullets, and before the fragments of their bodies could fall to the ground, they were hit by meteorites!
Accompanied by the blood mist rising!
Not even a bit of flesh could be seen, vaporized instantly in the high temperature!
But it wasn't over yet.
Several crimson beams shot out at incredible speeds from the far distance, the effect of the 'Annihilate Nine Clans' skill, which would trace the bloodline of the deceased three generations down, delivering the same eradication fate!
Annihilate Nine Clans had one flaw, it could only eliminate up to the third generation.
It couldn't kill the previous generation.
That is to say, if there were many elderly players staying on Solar Star, then these elders could not be cleared away, they would become a future problem.
But with the advent of the upgraded game, the number of elderly players on almost all planets was rapidly decreasing, even nearing zero.
So there was no worry that there would be too many elderly players on Solar Star, the issue of an aging population was roughly and violently solved by the upgraded game.
In just a few dozen seconds!
Only a very few Solar Star players were still struggling on with the props they had!
Chen Yi, sitting in a palace armchair in midair, swung the wine glass in his hand absent-mindedly, twitched his nose slightly, the smell of gunpowder and the iron-like stench of blood was particularly pungent.
What a sin, if I have children someday, I should name my child Chen Shanren.
If I don't give a good name, I'm afraid my child might not be able to bear the carnage I've caused.
The bombardment in the sky lasted a full thirty minutes.
Then it quieted down.
There were no more meteors in the sky, no Gatling Buddha wielding the Fire God Gatling in midair, no more otherworldly flowers in the air, and no more bullets shooting out from the ground.
Everything was quiet.
Leaving behind a wasteland full of craters like a beehive, and a ground covered in a mixture of blood and flesh that looked like a jam concoction made from large quantities of strawberries thrown into a grinding machine.
Solar Star was gone.
Or to say.
All players of Solar Star were gone.
"Clang."
Chen Yi took out his Zippo lighter from his chest, in front of billions of viewers, lit a cigarette and took it to his lips, exhaled softly, and then with the light blue smoke curling around, he looked at the camera with a light smile and said.
"This is the way Blue Star does things."
"When we seek revenge, we don't target just one person."
The next second—
COUNTLESS system notification sounds abruptly sounded in the ears of all players of Star System 3!
'Ding, Entire Star System 3 announcement!'
'The planets included in this announcement are as follows: Blue Star, Neutron Star, Shaved Head Star, Walker Star, Bamboo Shoot Star... and 38 other planets in total.'
'...'
