Chapter 51: The Psykers Who Watch Each Other
Hesson clasped his palms together and rubbed them together, and by the time he opened them, he already held a sword made of flames and a long whip of thunder and lightning. An almost transparent halo of light flowed over his body, quickly forming a metallic blue-black sheen on top of his scales.
It's quite a magical and extraordinary scene. If it was in normal times, the last time the Great Elder showed off like this, the ordinary sand people would have already begun to kneel down and make a pilgrimage, and even the uneasy and kind-hearted lords and chieftains could only put away their envy, jealousy and hatred, and honestly salute and compliment. But at this time, the sandmen who had completely lost the will to fight could not tell whether the flames and thunderbolts in front of them were shot by the enemy or rubbed by the Great Elder, and they only knew that their bodies were driven by the instinct of escape.
This time, Grand Elder Husson didn't try to stop the rout anymore. He simply took a step forward and flung his lightning whip at the motorized armored soldiers approaching him.
It's the age of the universe, and of course it is impossible for a regular land combat power armor to not even have an anti-electric device. However, the thunder and lightning that is formed by the collection of psionic energy are not naturally occurring lightning, but are really the rare kind of power that can cause regular destruction to most man-made protective devices.
The Great Elder Hessen was also very confident in his own strength, and when he had just opened the third astrolabe, he used all his strength to pull down a heavy airship with lightning - it was not a transport boat for the earthlings garrison, but a low-altitude heavy fire support gunboat weighing hundreds of tons and carrying an arsenal capable of completely leveling an entire city of millions of people.
The long whip formed by the thunder and lightning swept through the low air, marking a blazing track with teeth and claws, but a curtain of light suddenly opened, and it was in front of the thunderbolt whip, only a crackling and tooth-aching impact was heard. The light curtain dissipated directly, but the thunder and lightning were taken away and smashed directly to the ground.
Hexon felt that he almost lost his balance, and finally stabilized his body, but he heard an angry shout from his side: "Don't make a move, he's mine!" β
The Great Elder felt that his dignity as a Three-Ring Awakened Person had been trampled on, and he was just about to be furious, but he heard another voice on the other side: "Yes, yes, it's all his, and when he is killed, we will make up the knife!" β
Then a large array of alliance swear words that he didn't understand sounded beside him, and at the same time as his swear words, there was a blue pillar of light that suddenly lit up.
"Lightsaber!" The Great Elder's back was cold, and he felt as if he had been thundered and lightning, and every piece of scale armor seemed to be paralyzed. He subconsciously crossed the flame knife in his right hand, blocking the pillar of light that stabbed at his side.
The moment the pillar of light and the flame touched, the dark blue and fiery red converged, and the distortion of light and energy formed a blazing light cluster where it intersected, but it was no longer clear that the original form was no longer visible. The sound of "buzzing and buzzing" was dull and muffled, as if it magnified the call of mosquitoes dozens of times.
This is the lightsaber, a weapon crafted from one of the rare Zero Elemental Crystals, the Belen Crystal, commonly known as the Shaped Crystal. The user's psionic energy excites the Shaped Crystal to form a high-temperature plasma, which is then condensed into a beam of energy through a magnetic field generated by the mechanism.
This blade-like pillar of plasma is both indestructible and indestructible, and beams of condensed energy infused with psionic energy can cut through and melt even the strongest alloy armor, and of course, neutralize and destroy energy shields. In the same way, since the blade of the lightsaber has the attribute of psionic energy, it can also resist or even suppress the effect of psionic spells.
As a result, the flame slash that could easily tear apart the armor of a combat vehicle or even a destroyer was stopped in the air. The blazing light suddenly raised the surrounding heat by several degrees, and the scales of the Great Elder, who were also roasted, began to burn. However, his heart was pulling out the cold.
He really didn't expect to meet an opponent with a lightsaber here.
You know, this was originally developed by the Alliance, and it is an exclusive equipment for guerrillas and Extraordinary Authority executives, which is naturally quite precious - although it has flowed out a lot through various channels in recent years, so it has also become one of the grounds for the Empire to ridicule the "egalitarian people" of the Alliance. However, the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, the Atomic Light Spear of the Astral Knights can actually be found on the black market.
Why isn't it mine. How suitable for me is such an elegant, cold and powerful weapon! The Great Elder wanted to be jealous, but he didn't even have time to get past such emotions now, because the other party's sword had already lightly slashed away the flames and stabbed at his side.
Hexon hurriedly formed a metal plating layer of psionic energy on his body, and at the same time dodged backwards by stepping on the wind, finally avoiding the fatal blow. But he was still caught by the blazing blade, and he only felt as if his waist had been pulled by fire tongs, and his scales were turning black.
Hesson was really out of anger. He opened his arms, and the flame knife and thunder whip in both hands disappeared directly, but turned into a storm of wind blades with himself as the core.
The frenzied wind turned a ten-meter radius around itself into a dead field, and the rocks and sand were wrenched into it, making even the storm even darker.
In the midst of the storm, there was a tremor of several buzzing stances, and then a phantom figure was knocked out. His figure went from virtual to real, and then sat on the ground in embarrassment.
He was naturally Asher Stern, who graduated from the guerrilla training camp, but in the end he did not embark on this glorious career, so he had to become a freelance mercenary. Now he has been summoned by an officer of the community to participate in the battle of Tulon.
If his current condition had been known to the students in the training camp, he would have been regarded as a "shame for the (preparative) guerrillas."
This "guerrilla's shame" rubbed his cheeks, and with palpitations, he looked at the trench coat that had been cut out of more than a dozen big cuts, and directly tore open the completely destroyed coat and threw it on the ground, revealing the dark inner armor.
Shocking scratches, dents, and lacerations have appeared on the inner armor. As long as you go a little deeper, you will definitely be able to directly hurt the body.
Aschute showed a distressed expression, as if it was a limited edition figure that he had just gotten his hands on, but it was dismantled by a bear child who came to visit a relative's house as a building block.
Yu Lian knew that this was an iron-rock defensive vest made by the alliance, which could be stab-proof, bulletproof, collision-proof, and energy-resistant. Although it can't increase the power of the equipper, the defense is really quite good, even more resistant than the alloy armor of the vast majority of power bones, and it is light and close to the body and easy to hide, and it was also selected as one of the top ten star armor of the galaxy by "Free Lancer" magazine last year.
Asher wasn't a member of the official power with a card, and it would have taken a bit of effort to get his hands on it.
The free mercenary looked at the fragments of his coat on the ground, and let out a sad cry: "Tragedy! This is Marenza's windbreaker! It's the same as the male protagonist of "Wings of Judgment"! I finally got it when I was doing an event, and it cost me 2,000 stars! β
Do you feel sorry for this thing?
"Well, don't we need to meddle yet?" Yu Lian said with a smile.
The mercenary wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Come out, let's shoot!" This guy can condense psionic energy into natural attributes, and he's either a fanatic or a believer, and although the ring number is indeed higher than ours, it's my dish! You assist, I'll take the lead! However, the rest of the people should not do anything. β
Yu Lian nodded, carrying the chainsaw sword, and slowly approached the storm in the other direction.
He knew that, as Asher had said, Hesson had opened the iridescent "Harnessing" astrolabe, and that its first ring was called "Zealot". As the name suggests, these awakened people fanatically pursue the most intuitive and clear embodiment of psionic power, and devote all their spirits to shaping the attributes of psionic energy, which is similar to the wizards in the fantasy worldview.
In fact, the third ring he is in now is also titled "Wizard".
The end point of this star ring path is called "Firmament Mentor"βyes, the realm that Yu Lian wanted to pursue before. How's that, it sounds like a title that is particularly in line with the invincible law, right?
Of course, we all know that the Master, especially the Master in practice, is often a small soldier expert and a weak boss. Hesson is a "wizard", and he has mastered the ability within the deflection shield. Ordinary soldiers would shoot at him at this distance, and even if they could actually kill him, they didn't know how many would die under the bullets that bounced back.
Psionics can only be dealt with by psionics! Although Yu Lian scoffed at this statement, this is really the perception of most people. At least, in this situation, it can really only be the two of them.
"According to the Principles of Psionic and Zero Elemental Transformation and the Covenant of the Awoken Watch, the fewer people who make a move, the less they share the spoils! So, just the two of us! β
Speaking of this, Stein's cheeks twitched, and he squinted at Yu Lian, looking like "I've already compromised a lot, you don't want to take an inch".
That's why!
The so-called "Psionic and Zero Element Transformation Principle" refers to the fact that the corpses of dead awakened people will always produce rare zero elements. Therefore, some scholars put forward the theory of "the conservation of psionic energy and zero elements", but because the modulus in the Milky Way or even the universe is too large, there is no way to calculate statistics, so the statement is just a statement.
As for the "Awakened Watch Pact", it is an international convention led by the Ethereal Temple, a "psyker mutual aid organization" that transcends the major galactic polities, to promote the formulation of the Galactic Civilization Council. The main meaning is that the awakened are the pillars of civilized society, and the elite of intelligent creatures have to fight each other because of the inevitable reality, but they must be respected as they deserve. Any individual or organization that kills the Awakened has the right to take away the zero elements produced on their corpses, but they must never intentionally defile or damage the corpses, and they are even more obliged to let the other party enter the ground to erect a monument for Anxiu's tomb and hold a funeral or something.
β¦β¦ However, the point is that the first half of the sentence is not the second half. To put it bluntly, according to this convention, the fewer people who shoot, the fewer people who touch the corpse, and of course the more people each person gets in the end.
That's why Asher didn't want the rest of the people to do it.
You're going to die on this sooner or later! This is true in the previous life, and it is the same in this life! Yu Lian couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that it was better to wait for Hexen to beat this guy half-crippled before making a move.
