“The Nalan Star System has no machine to shield the Resonance Node; you can jump directly to Nalan Star!”
“These buttons control weapons of varying powers. You can use a cannon powerful enough to obliterate Meteorite Level opponents, make them disappear!”
“Understood!”
Du Gang could sense the worries of the others, he knew that they were afraid he wouldn’t have the heart to kill the Purple Level warriors. Hence they suggested using the carrier’s cannon as he wouldn’t have to listen to their screams and feel faint-hearted.
But in fact, he had long got used to hearing others’ screams, as well as killing people!
Ever since he gained the capability to cause a disaster with just a casual step, he began to adapt to this.
“Okay, all of you, step back. I am about to start up!”
He waved his hand, dismissing the flocks of people who had followed him.
As a representative, Yao Zhenguo spoke last, “Du Gang, you must return safely!”
“I know!”
After everyone left, he took control of this three-star E-level spacecraft and ascended to the skies.
The coordinates for the sixteen Nalan Star Systems had been inputted already, in addition, the coordinates for the Planet Overlord had been input too.
All Du Gang had to do was voice control the Intelligent Control System, and it will do all the operations for him.
Soon, the spacecraft arrived in space, flew a certain distance, and then Du Gang activated the search button for the Resonance Node.
At this point, jumping was unavoidable. Even though he had strong defenses and even gravity control, he was not entirely sure if he could withstand the damage caused by the jump.
After all, others would activate a protective cover to withstand this damage, while he had to resist it with his bare body.
“Resonance Node located, do you want to activate the jump?”
The electronic system sounded, Du Gang took a deep breath, tightly clutching the handrail next to him, and commanded, “Jump!”
The next second, the spacecraft disappeared. At this moment, Du Gang felt an invisible devastating force infiltrating his body, but before he can figure out where this force came from, the system informed him the end of the jump, and the crushing force vanished.
“Jumping completed, arrived at the designated destination!”
Du Gang checked his body up and down, but found no injury. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Make the walls transparent, I want to see outside!”
Thankfully, the system understood his words and immediately turned the ship walls transparent.
As soon as he could see the outside world, a massive water-blue planet came into view.
From the pictures he had seen before, he confirmed that this planet was Nalan Star!
In the outer space of the planet, five massive satellite bases were floating. On top of these bases, there were numerous big cannons with wide muzzles.
Du Gang recognized that they were high-powered satellite bases used to defend against alien spaceships, inherited from the Purple Orchid Republic. Each of these bases were worth at least thousands of Purple Orchid Coins.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Star had five such bases!
“Who are you?!”
A voice, converted from an electronic signal that could only be received by spaceships, was transmitted over.
The reason for receiving such a question was because Du Gang had removed the Nalan family emblem from the three-star E-level spaceship.
In the toys previously bought by Pang Ze, there was a tool to remove spaceship emblems and create new ones.
As a result, the pattern on his spaceship was a spear, exactly like his Ancient God’s Spear.
Clearly, the personnel guarding the satellite bases were baffled too because they had never seen such an emblem before.
“Open the hatch, stand by in place!”
Du Gang ordered the Intelligent Control System and then jumped off the spaceship.
The moment he entered space, he drifted forward a certain distance due to inertia.
His senses did not pick up any unpleasant feelings, instead, he was excited as if he were a fish back in water, as though he was meant to live in space.
There was no need to breathe through his nose and mouth, his pores expanded all at once, and the cosmic energy naturally flowed into his body.
At once, a comforting sensastion arose and even the strong Du Gang couldn’t resist it and let out a moan.
A Purple Level soldier in a satellite base immediately reported, “An unknown spaceship has ejected a person, and he is not wearing a transparent oxygen mask…”
The people in the five satellite bases became tense at once. Entering space without an oxygen mask is something only a Meteorite Level or stronger person would dare to do.
Suddenly, the monitor revealed the person in space opening his mouth.
“Analyze what he said!”
Immediately, the automatic analyzing system was activated.
A bona fide moan echoed.
‘ …” The people fell silent, not knowing what was happening.
Before they could figure out what was happening, the automatic analyzing system transmitted a voice once again, “Morph!”
Du Gang transformed into a giant only after he had leapt a certain distance away from the spaceship,
The moment he transformed, he was able to feel the control of gravity again. Bathed in space, his body even felt more comfortable.
Without moving his body, he used the force of gravity and flew towards the satellite bases. In an instant, he reached the first satellite base.
Without waiting for the base to react, he produced the Ancient God’s Spear in an instant and thrust it downwards.
“Boom!”
An explosive sound rang out but quickly disappeared.
He understood it is because there was a certain amount of air in the base, which allowed for a short diffusion of sound. However, as the air diluted, the sound quickly vanished.
In space, humans could speak. They can open their mouths and talk, but the words spoken had no medium to transmit, so they wouldn’t propagate far. However, the sound waves, although not perceptible by humans, could be captured by machines.
For example, ordinary satellite bases and spaceships all have the ability to capture sound waves in the vacuum of space.
Additionally, there are portable headsets which can accomplish the same function, but such equipment is incredibly expensive, and only some of the wealthier or stronger individuals could afford to wear it.
“Fire!”
At this point, the remaining four satellite bases reacted immediately and issued orders to open fire.
These four satellites were equipped with super weapons capable of posing a threat to Meteorite Level powerhouses. At this moment, all of them fired.
Du Gang sensed it and his instincts told him to dodge using gravity control, but he hesitated.
He felt that an attack of this level would not harm him.
So, he stopped, standing still in place, quietly waiting.
“Boom!”
Four beams of light that brightened an entire expanse of the dark universe suddenly appeared, striking Du Gang instantly.
Despite his size reaching ten thousand meters, the impact shock still shifted him backward slightly.
However, this was because he hadn’t released his gravitational pull.
If he released his gravitational pull, he could firmly attach himself to the nearby planet.
“Only this much?”
Du Gang chuckled, having a deeper understanding of his defensive power.
Next, without throwing any spears, he directly released his gravity towards the four satellite bases.
The next second, these four bases, uncontrollably, flew towards him. “Boom boom boom boom!”
After four consecutive explosions, heaps of space debris appeared in space.
Those who managed to escape from it, without any protective gear, were exposed directly in the universe, and after struggling for a few tens of seconds, each of them suffocated to death, their bodies covered in a layer of frost in an instant.
After dealing with these satellite bases, Du Gang quickly flew back to his spaceship and began to target the Nalan castle on the ground.
After making all the preparations, a powerful beam of light shot out from the cannon at the front-end of the spaceship, speeding towards Nalan Star.
A few seconds later, the castle on the ground, in which the direct members of the Nalan family were gathered, exploded in an instant, and all the people still inside died at that moment.
From then on, the lineage of the Nalan family’s eldest elder, Nalan Mingliang, had completely disappeared.
After confirming the target’s hit, Du Gang did not linger, but issued the command to jump again, this time to the planet where the second elder of the Nalan family was located.
When he arrived at this planet, he found that the defensive force of this planet was far inferior to Nalan Star, there wasn’t even a single satellite base outside.
Following the previous method, he ran a round, and after wiping out the direct members of all sixteen planets of the Nalan star system, he finally stopped at the edge of the Nalan star system, gazing at the entire star system.
Nalan Star System was a medium-sized star system, with twenty or thirty planets in total. From the edge, it was quite beautiful, but what a pity…
After taking one last look at this star system, Du Gang finally ordered to jump towards the Overlord Star System.
August 8th, Earth calendar. This was a special day.
It was Du Gang’s birthday, the day he first left Earth!
At the same time, it was also the day of the wedding between Overlord and
Nalan Yanran.
As dawn broke, Planet Overlord welcomed many guests!
For such a secondary power like this, they generally used equipment that blocked the Resonance Node, making it difficult to jump to the core area all at once.
Only because today was Overlord’s big day did they temporarily open it.
Many primary forces, in order to congratulate Overlord, set off early, prepared gifts, put on formal wear, and took the initiative to visit.
Of course, Overlord didn’t meet them!
Despite it being a good day now, being the main family, he still did not show up.
That’s because the time wasn’t right yet.
According to the custom of inviting guests to the cosmic wedding banquet, Overlord would meet all the cosmic guests during the afternoon you (period in Chinese traditional calendar), and hold the ceremony.
However, this did not prevent the primary forces from entering the venue early.
Overlord did not disappoint either. In the banquet hall prepared for cosmic guests, all kinds of delicacies and wines were ready for the guests to enjoy.
In addition to that, there was a maid every five steps, ready to provide service to guests at any time, and responsible for replacing dishes, cleaning up, etc.
There are actually many primary forces in the Wasteland Star Field.
As long as they reach the Meteorite-level, they are qualified to form a primary force.
This results in some meteorite-level beings, who are not willing to stay in the clan, setting up their own power, establishing new primary forces.
The final result is that before the si hour (period in Chinese traditional calendar) arrives, the entire banquet hall has been filled with hundreds of primary forces.
For Overlord’s wedding, these primary forces, naturally would not send only their subordinates to attend, they all personally attended.
Among the guests who have already arrived in the field, there are already thousands, but just the meteorite-level ones reached four to five hundred.
However, upon closer inspection, you would find that these guests only occupy half of the banquet hall. The other half, whether it’s tables or the height of the stairs, are all noticeably higher than where they were seated.
These slightly higher, empty table and chair positions, were all prepared for the secondary forces!
In addition, there were four higher platforms in front of the main seating area, which were reserved for the four major tertiary forces.
Although it was uncertain whether they would come, Overlord still followed custom and reserved seats for them.
Time quickly reached the afternoon shen (period in Chinese traditional calendar), and it was almost time for the official start of the banquet.
At this moment, half of the banquet hall was already filled. Almost all the primary forces sent representatives, and some families even brought along their entire Meteorite-level members as a sign of respect.
These people who had been drinking for three decades, as the you-hour drew closer, instead became more restrained than before.
Because, it was now time for the secondary forces to enter the arena.
“The head of the Wasteland Bank, Mr. Jin Ke, has arrived-4”
Soon, the secondary forces officially began to enter. The first to arrive was Jin
Ke, President of Wasteland Bank, known for his kindness. He had spread Wasteland Bank to all star systems in the Wasteland Star Field with his strong talent and eloquence.
After arriving, he did not directly take his seat at the secondary force seats, but very friendly, went into the crowd of primary forces, and started to chat with several patriarchs in the venue.
“The lord of the Dragon and Snake star system, Dragon Snake, arrives-
Another head of a secondary force arrived. Unlike Jin Ke, he didn’t have big businesses, didn’t need to greet people with smiling faces, and went straight to the seats of the secondary forces, slowly sat down, and started drinking his wine on his own.
And so, dignitaries trickled in one by one, and the banquet was about to officially start.
When all the representatives of the secondary forces had successfully entered, Overlord felt it was about time, and then with Nalan Yanran, wearing luxurious clothes, walked towards the banquet hall.
Upon arriving at the banquet hall, he first went to the high platform area where the secondary force representatives were, and briefly interacted with everyone, and then once again, leading Nalan Yanran, headed outside the entrance.
“Overlord, congratulations!”
While on the way, Jin Ke, who had mingled with the primary forces, suddenly stood out and said with a smile.
When Overlord saw him, he greeted with a smile too.
Jin Ke had shining eyes however, and he smiled faintly, “Overlord, seeing your demeanor, are you going to greet someone important?”
In the Wasteland Star Field, the only ones worthy of a meteorite-level powerhouse personally greeting are those four tertiary forces!
However, ordinarily, even if a meteorite-level being is getting married, these forces would only send a meteorite-level individual to attend… this kind of level is not worth the meteorite-level going out to greet personally!
Overlord just chuckled, “The current Ares of the Hall of Gods and I have a private association….”
