Chapter 907 - Little Goldie’s Dedication
Chapter 907: Little Goldie’s Dedication
There was a sudden development, and the situation had turned dire!
The microchip carrying Radix was extremely unstable, and at this time, Little Goldie had come under attack!
In Dark Space, Little Goldie and its moon-sized body was fleeing; behind it was a demon chrysalis ten times larger! This demon chrysalis had ten thousand golden eyes, and each eye glinted with savagery! This was the legendary king of demon chrysalises, the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance!
The Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance had the most eyes out of all demon chrysalises; this was a sign that it had the greatest combat power! Its Buddha-like head was clearly much larger than its body, so it seemed rather top-heavy and out of proportion.
*Rumble!*
The Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance’s ten thousand eyes erupted with lethal beams all at once! It savagely attacked the fleeing Little Goldie, but the latter did not even turn around. It merely shifted its body to the right, just barely avoiding the attack.
For some reason, Little Goldie’s movements were rather hesitant, as if it was very concerned about something and did not dare to make too big moves. This had put it in a dangerous situation and had almost resulted in it being hit several times.
In truth, Little Goldie was not that weak. While it only had one eye, it possessed swift speed and nimble movements! When it had knocked away all those Dark lifeforms with a single move, that had been one of its proudest moments!
Now, when it was facing the savage Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance, Little Goldie did not dare to use its full strength, for in its belly was the Pinnacle’s research station and its savior, Xia Fei!
Exotic beasts protected their masters, and Little Goldie was no exception! Little Goldie quickly moved through Dark Space, evading the attacks while maintaining a steady posture. It would rather be injured than let Xia Fei in its belly be hurt!
The situation was getting more and more critical. After all, Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance was an adult, while Little Goldie was a child barely a month old! The gap between the two was just too vast! Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance, which had lived in Dark Space for many years, had abundant experience in dealing with enemies. No matter what, Little Goldie would never be able to escape its pursuit!
Fortunately, Little Goldie’s keen intuition allowed it to find a way out constantly. A dozen or so minutes went by, and Little Goldie was still holding on, but it was seemingly rather tired, panting for breath.
To help Xia Fei, Little Goldie had ventured deep into space; now, it had been charged with delivering Pinnacle’s research station to the Hidden Realm. Little Goldie had not rested at all over the last few days. In its constant rush, it simply could not compare to the Ten Thousand Golden Buddha, which had been waiting for its foe and building up its strength for one big attack.
“Ha! This monster is on its last legs! Let’s put on a little more pressure and take it down! This is a golden demon chrysalis! I really wanna cut open its stomach and see what’s going on inside.” A woman standing atop the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance’s head pointed at the panting Little Goldie, excitement evident in her eyes.
Next to this young woman was an old man, who was not at all as impatient as her. He calmly sat atop the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance’s head, a sinister smile on his face.
“My child, it only has one eye, yet it’s able to reach such a massive size and move so quickly. It’s clearly some kind of mutant. Killing this sort of mutant will be too much of a waste. We don’t need to rush. Let’s slowly push it into a dead end and then capture it. We may be able to sell it for a good price afterward,” said the old man as he stroked his beard.
The elder patted the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance on the head, and this savage fellow unhappily slowed down. It continued pursuing Little Goldie, but not as fiercely as before.
This faughter-daughter pair was demon chrysalis tamers from the Edusas that Fig Corporation had hired at a high price, Eve and Elan. The older one was the father, Elan, and the freckled and formidable lady was Eve.
Demon chrysalis taming was a specialized profession in the Demon Race. Generation after generation tamed and raised demon chrysalises, spending their entire day interacting with Dark Space. Normally, demon chrysalises did not need to be accompanied by tamers. They just needed to be left in Dark Space, fed from time to time, and be taught a signal they understood to mean that they should gather.
However, this was the pride of the Edusa Clan and the king of demon chrysalises, the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance! This was why Elan and Eve had taken on the heavy responsibility of raising it, and they were also the ones to take up Fig Corporation’s commission and search for the lost Pinnacle’s research station.
Eve was a level 2 Law Overlord, while her father Elan was a formidable, Darkness-type level 5 Law Sage.
“Owooooo!”
Little Goldie had been unable to escape the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance, which made it feel very uneasy. Part of this was because it felt like it was letting down Xia Fei. It appeared to be far more troubled by being unable to deliver Xia Fei safely to the Hidden Realm, viewing its own precarious situation as unimportant.
“This golden demon chrysalis is very persistent. Its body is already trembling, but it’s still fleeing as hard as it can. I really wanna capture it soon.” Eve coldly snorted.
*Bang!*
“Accursed thing, you can’t even catch up to this little thing! What’s the point in keeping you around?” She savagely punched the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance beneath her, causing its blood to seethe. It appeared that this ugly woman did not care whether the demon chrysalis lived or died. Whether it was her clan’s Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance or Xia Fei’s Little Goldie, they were all just toys to her.
Elan shook his head and said, “Hitting it is pointless. This golden demon chrysalis has a powerful desire to live. It won’t concede unless it gets pushed to a dead end. Let me teach you a trick.”
Elan forcefully patted the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance’s head three times, and in a flash, the giant demon chrysalis became violent and accelerated!
*Bang!*
The Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance suddenly accelerated and shot off at an angle, moving its massive body and shoving Little Goldie to the side!
Little Goldie became frantic. It knew that it was not alone. In its belly was its savior and something very important to its savior!
No matter what, it could not panic!
Little Goldie tried its best to maintain its gliding state, using its flesh to absorb the impact! This would ensure that Xia Fei and Pinnacle’s research station were safe, but it forced Little Goldie to endure enormous pain!
Perhaps because it hurt too much, it painfully howled, a howl that sounded very miserable!
“Eh? What a strange fellow! It seems to be protecting something…” Elan frowned as he muttered. “It would let itself get injured just to protect something? It seems like this beast is a fool and has no idea how to seize advantages and avoid harm.”
“Hmph! Let’s see what you do this time!” Elan ordered the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance to ram Little Goldie a second time, and Little Goldie did the same thing, using its body to absorb the impact so that it could shield Xia Fei from harm!
It was in an extremely miserable situation!
…
Xia Fei had already guessed that Little Goldie was in trouble, or else Pinnacle’s research station would not be shuddering so much. Fortunately, Xia Fei, Teddy, and the others had already gone out and removed any systems that might lead the station to exploding or self-destructing. Otherwise, in the middle of this sort of bitter battle, the result would be impossible to predict!
Xia Fei really wanted to rush out and help Little Goldie, but he was currently facing another huge problem!
The microchip holding Radix had grown extremely unstable, so Xia Fei was forced to absorb its energy to prevent it from exploding.
*Whoosh~*
His hands served as conductors, guiding that frenzied energy into his seventh brain region.
In the absorption process, Xia Fei was astonished at how similar this energy was to the Ark fragment’s. As it entered his brain region, Xia Fei felt very comfortable; it was akin to basking in sunlight.
‘Could Radix have some unspeakable secret connection with the Ark? Is Radix more than a robot? If he’s just a robot, why would this master microchip be carrying such powerful energy?’ Xia Fei thought to himself.
However, the situation was too dangerous for him to think. Xia Fei had to absorb all this frenzied energy to avoid a mishap!
*Boom!*
The speed at which Xia Fei absorbed this energy was akin to a hyperdrive!
As Xia Fei grew higher in rank, the speed at which he absorbed energy also reached an unprecedented level! That mysterious energy ball in his seventh brain region grew much even larger, such that it could now store an absurd amount of energy without collapsing!
This was a side effect from Xia Fei absorbing the Ark fragment. The microchip had somewhat of a different energy from the Ark fragment, but it was also extremely similar. Who could say what changes it would bring onto Xia Fei?
While absorbing this energy, Xia Fei did not forget to form the Law of Space’s pattern in his brain region. With his experience from last time, Xia Fei was confident in his ability to control and guide energy. This energy was not as fierce as Origin Energy and could be easily guided and put to use.
There was also the energy of those Dark lifeforms. Xia Fei felt like these energies were all part of the same system, stemming from an energy source that he was very suited for. Ark fragments and Dark lifeforms were hard to come by, though, so Xia Fei rarely had the opportunity to use this energy.
…
The speed was absolutely absurd!
The rainbow energy ball in his seventh brain region was brimming with power, and he even used some of the extra energy to break into level 7 Superior Law Overlord smoothly!
Even in such a perilous situation, Xia Fei was still able to advance in the most incredible of ways!
Not only was Xia Fei advancing fast, he could also do so at any time and place! Perhaps this was the miraculous effect of the Ark—this supership second only to the Cosmic Gate in terms of its mystery.
*Pa!*
Xia Fei inserted the stabilized chip into the temporary vessel so that Radix could reassume control over Pinnacle.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Fei rushed to the control room. Little Goldie was under attack, and he needed to help it!
“What’s going on outside?!” Xia Fei urgently asked.
Teddy and the others worriedly gathered together and looked at the screen. Xia Fei watched for only two seconds before exploding in rage!
Little Goldie, which was currently being chased by a giant demon chrysalis, had sustained injuries, and this was due to it protecting Pinnacle and Xia Fei!
*Zing~*
Xia Fei felt the flames of rage consuming him!
“I need a war armor—war armor that can let me fight in Dark Space!” Xia Fei called, his face pale!
Xia Fei had given Monohorn Ogre to Xia Guanghai for safekeeping. If he wanted to fight, he would need a new suit of armor and a new weapon. Otherwise, the chaotic Dark Space would undoubtedly be a warrior’s worst nightmare.
Celestial Artificer Wind Raja was startled, and then he excitedly said, “Pinnacle may not have anything else, but it does have the Law Realm’s best war armor!”
