The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 473 - 296 Su Buxian: I'm Still Not Skilled at Piloting a Starship

The roaring wind vibrated, blowing against everyone.

"Prepare for battle!"

Du En's eyes darkened as he stood solemnly before the crowd.

They were not without a chance, for having inherited the Temple, he naturally had a trump card he could use.

But once he used the Temple's Strength, the price would be... Divinity bursting forth like a trace!

The entire world would be exposed to the outside!

After all,

This was a world owned by a God, and soon more covetous enemies would appear.

This was also their dilemma.

Thus, Du En, along with a series of loyal subordinates, were extremely eager to enhance the Strength of all the world's citizens, because only by becoming powerful themselves could they face external enemies without fear.

"Here they come, Captain!"

The captured crew, too, raised their eyes in excitement; as raiders, their own Strength was not important. What mattered was their cruel hearts that aligned with the Captain's, and their loyalty that made them useful to him!

Their Strength also all came from the Mechanical Equipment created by the Captain!

Allowing them to plunder other worlds and indulge in the pleasure of killing.

And at this moment, everyone was ready for anything!

Bai Yilin and Jiang Zhi were even prepared to take out their saved trump cards, as they were also major contributors to the Nightmare-level instance, and although not as impressive as Su Qi, they too had formidable rewards that could serve as an ace in the hole.

"Su Buxian should be doing alright in that Boundary," Jiang Zhi said, gazing at the Starship that roared closer. In his hand, he held a bow with the pattern of an Ancient Beast on it, an awe-inspiring weapon ready to be drawn and released at any moment.

"As for Brother Su, he should be fine. He may seem a bit offbeat, but he's actually quite composed inside. If he encounters an unbeatable foe, he'll find a way to avoid it," Bai Yilin said, extending five fingers adorned with Magic Rings that greatly enhanced his magic, even allowing him to use Taboo Techniques that had previously been beyond his grasp!

A flicker of hope surged in his heart, feeling like he could truly regain his Strength. Obviously, Bai Yilin understood that all of this had been brought about by Su Buxian.

After all, though this instance was extremely lethal... it also came with extraordinary rewards far surpassing those of an Ordinary instance.

And the one who could complete the main quest of this world... was only Su Buxian.

The situation, however, had now changed; the immense Starship had reached right above their heads, making it very difficult to combat with mere human power.

"They're here!"

The Starship emitted a rumbling noise as it plummeted!

The air was compressed to the extreme, the fierce wind nearly preventing everyone from opening their eyes. Even hundreds of meters from the ground, the surrounding earth was already whipped into a great dust storm.

Du En looked up, his hand raised high, ready to unleash the Temple's Strength, and roared as he performed the movements, "Everyone, lend me your Strength!"

He could gather the Strength of all the children of the gods! Unleashing the true Strength of the Temple!

And at that moment,

Everyone was ready to act, but their bodies trembled as a swift descent of a Particle Storm appeared out of nowhere, and the terrifying Gravity Field pinned them helplessly to the ground!

"Gravity Field?"

Only Bai Yilin, Jiang Zhi, Du En, and the old professor were still standing, their bodies obviously feeling oppressed, their movements greatly slowed.

"Damn it..." Du En quickly used his Divinity to create a Sanctuary around his people, releasing them from their binds!

"Be careful, here it comes again!"

The Starship spewed another streak of light!

All of a sudden, the intense Gravity Field around everyone vanished, and they found themselves floating weightlessly in the air!

"The Gravity's gone!"

"I can't catch my breath!"

"Don't panic!" Bai Yilin commanded, his fingers gesturing magic.

Those unable to leverage themselves were caught by a rain of ravens dropping from the sky! At least with a place to land and leverage, they could move; suspended mid-air they would become sitting ducks.

However,

"Boom!"

The Starship once again emitted a purple glow!

"What's this time?"

"We can't dodge it!"

The thunderous purple light exploded in mid-air!

Everyone's expression changed drastically as all the weapons and Equipment on their bodies were suddenly sucked away by a powerful force!

If they didn't let go, in the absence of Gravity, they'd be pulled along!

"Wait, here it comes again!"

"It's a Light Ball!"

"Is it an attack?"

"No!"

A tremendous burst of light exploded before everyone's eyes!

"It's a damn flashbang!"

And it wasn't just an ordinary visual flash, it also came with full sensory disruption!

Tears welled up in Jiang Zhi's eyes from the flash as he covered them and shouted angrily, "What is this crap? If you want to fight, fight directly. Using these thuggish things is completely shameless!"

Then,

The Starship began to unleash an array of bizarre technologies!

Boundary Oscillation Bombs!

Tornado Creation Fields!

...

Everyone was becoming numb, even Du En looked up at the Starship somewhat bewilderedly.

His Divinity had hardly burst out just now.

Because,

He did not feel the presence of a lethal intent from the Starship.

"What on earth is going on?" he murmured.

And the captured members of the Annihilation Team, though also floating mid-air, boasted huskily,

"See, you natives, under absolute power, you are nothing but ants to be toyed with."

At that moment,

The armaments of the Starship finally came into everyone's view, and the heavy, bulky silver gun barrels were gathering an intense blue glow!

A lethal aura was condensing, the screeching sound of particle gathering, thunderous and increasingly piercing!
