Chapter 1037: Chapter 755: The Natives’ Ambush_2

The impact and benefits brought about by the Devouring Sky Pillar were simply too great; the location of this Sky Pillar was still within his country. After the Devourers gave up on it, they spread a large amount of information related to the Devouring Sky Pillar.

Among these were many methods of using the Devouring Sky Pillar, and with these methods, they quickly took control of the Sky Pillar. The time for their rise had come.

Once? The Devourers were a force that no country could match. But now that the Devourers have given up on the Devouring Sky Pillar, the world’s geopolitical landscape is bound to change.

Whoever owns the Devouring Sky Pillar is essentially in possession of a nuclear weapon capable of changing the world.

After all, the range of applications for the Sky Pillar’s energy is too vast, whether it be in enhancing combat capabilities or energy transformations, it could trigger even greater progress, and most importantly, its main function.

Breakworld.

The Devouring Sky Pillar could be used to invade other worlds, meaning they could discover many more worlds...

There must be traps deliberately left by the Devourers, those people would definitely not make all the information public. But for now, that doesn’t matter. Control the Sky Pillar.

They’ll have all the time for research later on. When the Devourers were intimidating and flaunting their power, others looked on with envy and even resentment. But now that there’s a chance to become a being like the Devourers, they don’t want to give up that opportunity either.

"No power? The saber in my hand is power!" Du Gang swung his God Shocking Saber. The golden saber Qi stirred up a violent gust of wind, forcing the person who came over for negotiation to flee back in embarrassment.

The failed negotiation was signified by Du Gang’s move.

"They don’t know about Dusk’s information. Those Devourers have hidden a lot, and... the demeanor of the other party is also somewhat off, too fanatic,"

Du Gang voiced his judgment.

Zheng Yichen nodded: "Their spirits have been influenced, albeit weakly, but this kind of influence can quickly magnify."

He only realized it when he got closer; he didn’t notice it straight away because the residual spiritual abnormalities in the environment were too intense.

Such intense remnants obscured the slight traces of mental abnormalities exhibited by these people.

"They’re just cannon fodder."

"Hehehe, otherwise why would so many Dusk mercenaries be so hot-tempered?" Du Gang laughed darkly, having been impatient from the start of the negotiation, so much so that he could not even feign composure.

The reason? It’s like this after experiencing too much.

At first, he would have some patience and interact with the natives, but what about later? Later on, it became like this. An explanation?

What’s there to explain? Damn it, I’ve been a Proxy Agent for over a decade. If things could be explained in one go, I would be in a better mood. But after explaining ten times, six or seven times they freaking treat me like an invader.

What procedure to follow, what research to cooperate with to gain trust. Every time he encountered such situations and his mood worsened, he would directly slaughter the backers behind them as well.

I’m originally here to save the world, the kind that stakes their life on it. Yet a bunch of fools unaware of impending doom are thinking of all sorts of business, acting as if they hold the initiative.

However, Dusk has never cared about the local human race. As long as the foundation of the world is sound, even if Du Gang conducts a massacre, Dusk wouldn’t mind, as long as the factors causing world collapse are resolved.

What a bunch of troublemakers!

Zheng Yichen looked at Du Gang, who was still not appeased, and chuckled to the side: "I understand, I’ve encountered such situations too. Instead of wasting time explaining, using force is most appropriate, after all, we don’t need local honors."

"Then let’s teach these troublemakers a lesson."

As Du Gang spoke, lights flickered in the distance. Negotiations had ended at the speed of light. What naturally followed was a war centered around the Devouring Sky Pillar.

Normal people would question whether these negotiators were insane: With what ability could they hope to intercept and eliminate a presence that even drove the Devourers away? But it was clear that the mental state of these people was not normal.

The rampaging golden saber Qi swept across, only to be shattered by several blasts from the Sky Pillar cannons, the dispersed Sky Pillar’s energy saturating the environment and causing a layer of rough crystals to appear on the ground.

Du Gang slightly furrowed his brows, said nothing, and continued his action. After a few more shots from the Sky Pillar cannon, the concentration of Sky Pillar’s energy in this area greatly increased.

They could ignore it, but most of the people in those military units were ordinary people, some possessing special powers, but still insufficient to cope.

"Ask your artificial intelligence to help find the one giving orders," Du Gang said to Zheng Yichen.

Once this environment was filled with Sky Pillar’s energy, a countdown to the end of life began for the people here. Rescue?

That was impossible. Even though they were soldiers carrying out orders, the Sky Pillar cannon—a weapon they used—threatened them by using the Sky Pillar’s energy.

Not to mention anything else, even if he activated his Vajra Body, a direct assault would break it, but he would not give the other side the opportunity. Not even the Devourers before had the capability to control him and make him endure a round of the Sky Pillar cannon.

So this hypothesis was unrealistic.

As for gaining control over Zheng Yichen, that was even more unrealistic.

He could not afford to be merciful, but he could send away more of those who were involved afterward, as Zheng Yichen had said, the Devourers had left behind some sort of influence over their minds here.

But without the arrangement of the ambitious, the military wouldn’t have come here, and the situation of being influenced would not exist.

"I need a little time, you can slow down the fight," Lilith said. As an AI originating from an electronic virus, her core code retained its viral nature.

This trait remained after her evolution and made her indifferent to any life beyond specific beings.

"Okay," Du Gang agreed without hesitation.

Zheng Yichen and Du Gang slowed down their offensive, making the military commanders think their tactics were effective. They had planned in detail for such contingencies, aiming to maximize the power of the Sky Pillar cannons, which were linked to the Devouring Sky Pillar, providing virtually unlimited energy, preventing overheating, and allowing continuous firing as long as there were operators—

"Idiots—" Du Gang dodged a blast from the Sky Pillar cannon, the powerful energy shot triggering a cold chill.

Indeed, even when facing the Devourers, they had never seen the Devourers utilize the Sky Pillar cannon in such a way.

As the concentration of Sky Pillar’s energy in the environment increased, the military engaged in combat did not promptly reclaim the dispersed energy.

"Boss, I have gathered the relevant information," Lilith reported.

"It seems we don’t even need to take action," Zheng Yichen said somewhat speechlessly, looking at the distance. The attacks from the Sky Pillar cannon had ceased, and the military forces controlling the cannons and blocking the Devouring Sky Pillar had realized something was wrong.

The Sky Pillar cannon operators screamed in horror as their arms and the cannons ’fused’ together, turning into a similar crystalline form as they struggled.

With a crack, the crystallized arms broke off, lasting a bit longer while still attached to the Sky Pillar cannon. Once outside the range of the cannon, they immediately turned to crystals, falling to the ground as they lost balance and shattered into fragments.

Those farther from the Sky Pillar cannon also felt their bodies stiffen, their clothes emitting crisp cracking sounds. Looking down, their skin too displayed a lustrous sheen like white jade.

"Why is this happening?" The military commander’s eyes glazed over, as if a layer of glass screened his vision, everything turning a hazy white. The stiff feeling in his body made his thoughts increasingly sluggish.

The last thing he vaguely saw was his deputy falling to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"...Let’s chop down the Pillar," Du Gang said calmly, looking at the crystallized troops. Indeed, he was angry when the natives were selfish and unwilling to understand and accept some things, as a Proxy Agent.

But more of those here were simply people following orders.

As for showing mercy, after long serving as a Proxy Agent, his mindset had become controlled and flexible, quite like the malleable moral line of humans.
