Chapter 2380 Attention From The Higher-Ups In The Virtual Universe! The Interceptor! (3)
"Something's not right!" Elder Hui's expression changed abruptly as he saw the figure blocking their path.
"Elder Hui!" Heishan Gan also sensed something amiss and looked towards Elder Hui.
"All warships, attack!" Elder Hui paid no attention to Heishan Gan and issued a cold command without hesitation.
The figure blocking their path meant trouble.
Moreover, Elder Hui was not one to show mercy. If the opponent was an unwelcome martial warrior, killing him was just a matter of course. There was no need for regrets.
All dangers should be nipped in the bud.
Yet, at this moment, Elder Hui couldn't help but feel a hint of fear. The figure before him seemed inscrutable, and it was disconcerting.
To err on the side of caution, he ordered all the warships to launch their attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Almost instantaneously after the command was given, all the Force cannons on the Black Skull Universe Pirates' warships were fully charged and erupted in unison, aiming to strike down the figure blocking their path.
Beams of light shot out from the Force cannons, creating a spectacular scene in the starry sky, enveloping the intercepting figure.
The resounding roar echoed in all directions, and the terrifying energy fluctuations swept through the void, creating rifts in space and showcasing the ferocity of the attack.
The warships of the Black Skull Universe Pirates were all at least at the cosmos level, with several even reaching the universe level. The Force cannons onboard were capable of slaying any universe-stage opponent.
With so many Force cannons launching their attacks simultaneously, even an eternal-stage opponent would be injured.
This was the cunning aspect of Elder Hui's strategy. Unable to discern the true intentions of the interceptor, he ordered the warships to attack first. Even if they couldn't kill the opponent, they could at least inflict some damage, gaining the upper hand in the situation.
Elder Hui was an eternal-stage ruler, a pinnacle figure in the universe. Even if he couldn't fully discern the intentions of the person before him, he didn't believe that the figure could surpass him by much. It was likely just a matter of concealing one's true level through some means.
Unless the figure was a true god!
But how could that be?
The thought amused Elder Hui, and he shook his head at the notion.
Were true gods so commonplace?
As an eternal-stage ruler, he was intimately familiar with everything in the universe. He could confidently say that encountering a god-stage martial warrior was absolutely impossible. Such beings were like elusive dragons, surpassing even eternal-stage rulers in their mystery.
Besides, he hadn't offended any true gods. So, why would one come looking for trouble? It simply didn't make sense.
Just then, the figure in the starry sky suddenly moved.
Seeing this, Elder Hui's eyes widened in disbelief, his face mirroring his incredulity as if he had seen a ghost.
The figure didn't employ any martial techniques. With a simple wave of the hand, a gentle breeze swept through the starry sky. All the beams of light formed by the Force cannons froze in the sky and, in the next moment, were scattered like dust by an unseen wind, dissolving into countless specks of light.
There were no resounding noises, no grand display. A profound silence enveloped the starry sky as all the attacks dissipated, leaving an eerie sense of unreality.
Elder Hui knew he couldn't achieve such a feat with a mere wave of his hand.
Dissipating all attacks in an instant wasn't a skill possessed by eternal-stage beings.
"A true god!" Elder Hui's face turned pale, the words echoing in his mind. He felt dizzy and found it impossible to breathe.
Suddenly, the figure in the starry sky raised its palm and gently pressed it down toward the Black Skull Universe Pirates.
Boom!
A massive palm imprint materialized from the void, blotting out the sky as it descended.
The entire fleet of the Black Skull Universe Pirates trembled under its weight.
"Let's go!" Elder Hui didn't have time to dwell on why a true god would intercept them. Seeing the giant palm imprint, his mind was overwhelmed with shock. He immediately grabbed Heishan Gan, and the two vanished from the spacecraft in an instant.
Simultaneously, as the massive palm imprint descended, the warriors of the Black Skull Universe Pirates scrambled out of their spacecraft. Those at the universe stage stared at the sky-engulfing palm imprint, their expressions filled with horror. They couldn't muster any resistance. All they could do was frantically mobilize their Force, projecting their own little worlds in a desperate attempt to defend themselves, hoping to escape with their lives.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the end, the giant palm descended under everyone's shocked gazes.
In an instant, everything exploded in the starry sky like gorgeous fireworks!
