Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Chapter 674 - 333: Secretly Crossing Through Chen Cang

[Annihilator’s Protection][The protective force granted by the mysterious Maiden of Azure, Ivynis. The light of the Star Soul, originally purely for slaughter, is stabilized and condensed, seemingly calmed by the purity of the young girl’s soul.]

[Effect: Viewed as an ally by the holder of Annihilator Flesh]

Only in front of Ivynis does the Annihilator give Li Ang and other Star Souls a similar feeling, as if it is an entity capable of communication, rather than an unending killer.

That body twisting and writhing in the dimensional rift couldn’t be more like the unspeakable things in stories related to Cthulhu.

However, the Destruction Battleship is definitely not easy to deal with either.

Li Angxian returned to the Wamos Shipyard. Here, the Maintenance Master was conducting a full inspection on the speedboat outside of the Howling Wolf. Li Ang asked and found out that, although Andasu did not share her knowledge of speedboat manufacturing, she couldn’t ignore the flaws she saw on their ship and decided to give a few reminders.

"Master, I just feel that winning too easily isn’t fun."

Upon learning this, White Wolf felt a bit like a child who had done something wrong, folding her beast ears slightly.

"It’s fine. It doesn’t affect the plan. Do as you like."

Li Ang knew the battlelust within her heart, so he reached out and touched her head. Her soft white hair felt like the tassels of a top-notch artwork in his hand. The young girl leaned into the touch, edging her head upward slightly, a faint low hum resounding in her throat.

This was becoming more and more like a big dog.

After enjoying this complete trust and dependency for a while, Li Ang spoke of what he had witnessed.

Aside from the shock of Reed and Andasu, even Meluna raised her eyebrows.

"Incredible, something like this, even Makena wouldn’t have considered. Combining a Demon with a battleship? Oh, perhaps they knew, truly speechless." Reed sighed.

"I’ve never seen that thing in this form." Li Ang’s speculation was confirmed by Meluna.

He further speculated why Meluna had never seen the Destruction Battleship - in the timelines of the two Meis, the Empire’s invasion and destruction were smoother than expected, so there was no need for such a form in the early stages.

Later, when all of Nebis launched a counterattack, gathering the power of space, the Empire also quickly fell, probably not having the opportunity to build a giant ship to meet the conditions to transform it as it does today.

Of course, this is speculation of Mei’s timeline. Meluna’s should look similar, but with different details; her world is even more severe than Mei’s.

"So, due to knowledge of such existence, the plan needs to be revised.

"The competition here?"

"It’s uncertain if the competition can proceed normally, but your position cannot change because the rescue part remains unchanged."

"Then..."

Andasu understood Li Ang’s point. She had to fight alone for a while.

What Li Ang planned to do next required high-end combat power, and since Meluna was following, she needed to play her role.

"I will make this guy a good guardian."

Li Ang beckoned, and Crook came over with a grin, his smile ingratiating to the point of disgust, but at least it showed he could fulfill the responsibility of guarding her.

Confirming that the effect of Spiritual Driving was stable, Li Ang was about to leave, but before that, Andasu suddenly hugged him tightly.

"I will move forward as per the master’s expectations, so I also look forward to reuniting and leaning on you again."

"Hmm."

Li Ang hugged her back. Now the young girl was accustomed to him stroking her head and beast ears. He ruffled her hair a bit, making it somewhat messy, then completely bid farewell and left through the side door of the Wamos Shipyard.

He came up with an excuse to buy something for Andasu, but now, reconciling the misunderstanding with Crook, even Ryder and the speedboat drivers wouldn’t say much.

After some time, returning to the underground, when Li Ang returned to the Shadow Factory, Morales was just training with Melegon while Farina and Mei were also practicing with the three from the Star Flower Travel Corps nearby.

Since the time Li Ang scheduled to deliver the message was later than this, everyone couldn’t do nothing during this period, so they were surprised to see him return directly.

Seeing his serious expression, Xiaomo and others realized the situation was quite unusual.

However, Zoe and the other three were more concerned about Li Ang himself. Apart from Wild Cat headbutting into his arms, Xiaoniu and Golden Canary also gathered around asking about his condition.

"Get the Great Engineer here, let’s all sit down and talk," Li Ang said to those present.

After gathering all the important figures involved in the combat, Li Ang revealed the preliminary findings inside the factory.

"Are they all trapped in the Machine Core Tunnel? That matches one of our assumptions." Loken nodded.

The elder said they had considered this issue, but the hard part was finding the entrance to the shipyard’s Machine Core Tunnel and infiltrating successfully.

He did not know what techniques Li Ang used, but now he looked at him with new respect.

"I used some curse art to defect Soul Apex members."

Li Ang roughly explained the power distribution within the shipyard, indicating that Soul Apex also had rifts with the Empire.

"Doesn’t that make the plan easier to advance? Did you discover something unfavorable?" Xiaomo pressed on.

"Yes, the celebration is a facade, and even building a fleet is only a cover. What the Empire truly hides is an attempt to complete a Star Soul Mutant that annihilates all it sees. I call it the ’Destruction Battleship.’" Li Ang responded.
