138: Chapter 138 Sword Technique Descending from the Sky
Above the moon, Su Fan, wearing the war soul mecha, flew rapidly at a low altitude.
As he flew, he kept the Life Detector on to scout for traces of Star-Devouring Beasts on the moon.
"Hey—found one!" The Life Detector beeped as he passed over a massive crater.
Su Fan hovered in mid-air and raised his arm, aiming it at the crater.
Boom—
The hand cannon attached to the arm didn't look like it had a large caliber, but its actual power was far greater than an ordinary nuclear bomb.
Furthermore, unlike a nuclear bomb, which has a wide range but insufficient lethality per unit area, its attack power was extremely concentrated.
The power of the hand cannon was highly focused; this single shot pierced through the surface, blasting a large hole underground that led straight to the Star-Devouring Beast.
"I hope I didn't kill it with one shot!" Su Fan was a bit worried; if the Star-Devouring Beast below wasn't strong enough and died instantly, there would be no fun left.
Fortunately, this Star-Devouring Beast was quite resilient and didn't die immediately.
This was also due to the weapon Su Fan used; he hadn't used the greatsword carried by the mecha.
Indeed, the most powerful weapon of this mecha was still that greatsword. Made from special materials and Level 4 civilization technology, it could slice through the armor of the Tianyuan Mothership like cutting through tofu.
Even the kongming mothership would have to be wary of this greatsword if it got close!
Roar—
The Star-Devouring Beast had been sleeping soundly when a hole was suddenly blasted into its backside; the intense pain woke it up instantly.
Boom—
The Star-Devouring Beast threw off the soil and rocks covering its body and stood upright, its gaze glaring fiercely at the culprit in the sky!
"Whoa! I didn't expect to catch such a big fellow this time," Su Fan muttered to himself.
This Star-Devouring Beast stood a full 13,000 meters tall; it was a typical Star-Devouring Beast King.
At this moment, a blackened, scorched hole on its backside was still emitting black smoke.
Roar—
The Star-Devouring Beast King was enraged and immediately unleashed its ultimate move. Its third eye lit up instantly, and a thick, bright, pale blue beam of light suddenly shot toward Su Fan.
Su Fan didn't dodge; instead, he directly activated the mecha's built-in energy shield.
Instantly, the war soul mecha was enveloped in a golden, transparent halo; this was the mecha's proportional full-coverage shield.
Boom!
Su Fan deliberately didn't dodge. The ray from the Star-Devouring Beast's eye slammed into the mecha's shield, producing a violent roar.
"Tsk tsk, a Star-Devouring Beast King, nothing more than this!" Su Fan flexed to himself, though unfortunately, there were no spectators.
"How can I flex all by myself!"
"Red Queen, move the lunar satellites over. I want to flex in front of the whole country... no, I mean, live stream monster hunting for the whole nation!" Su Fan commanded.
"Yes! Master!" Red Queen said sweetly.
The reason Su Fan was live streaming wasn't just to flex, of course; he had deeper intentions.
In recent decades, although Xia Country's development had been flourishing and its population had increased rapidly, with everyone using black technology exchanged from the system.
However, while everyone provided him with influence points, the amount wasn't much.
Among the four levels of influence points—Overwhelming Praise, Worship and Admiration, Die-hard Fan, and Loyal Fan—most people only reached the second level, Worship and Admiration, which only provided 10 influence points.
The proportion and number of Die-hard Fans and Loyal Fans were very small, which greatly affected his acquisition of influence points.
For this live stream, he didn't dare to hope for Loyal Fans; gaining a few more Die-hard Fans would be enough.
"Master, the live stream has started. You can view the live feed and the bullet chat through the mecha's built-in screen!" Red Queen prompted.
"Very good!" Su Fan nodded with satisfaction.
"Hello, viewers! I am Su Fan!" Su Fan looked up at the sky; through the mecha's vision, he could see several satellites floating quietly directly above him.
"Can anyone guess where I am?"
Su Fan's voice was patched into the live stream room via Red Queen.
"Wow! What a huge monster!"
Hundreds of millions of people flooded into the live stream room instantly, and with Red Queen's assistance, even more people poured in rapidly.
"This... what is this? Why does it look so much like the Star-Devouring Beasts we studied in history books?"
"It's not just 'like' one; it is a Star-Devouring Beast! Looking at the background, God Su has gone to the moon!"
"Chief Su went to the moon to fight monsters and is even live streaming it for us. He's so down-to-earth, I love it!"
"I can tell from your tone that you're young. Back when God Su was on Blue Star, he used to live stream all the time. I even personally attended one of his offline press conferences back then!"
"Wow! Big brother is so amazing! Let's exchange communication IDs. When you have time, let's find a place for a 'deep exchange'; I'm a dance student!"
"Sure, sure. My ID is xxxxx..."
"Haven't you guys noticed? This Star-Devouring Beast is huge, much bigger than the ones in our history textbooks."
"Brother, how can you tell? Why can't I see it?"
"I'm a pro at mathematical modeling and physics. By using the Star-Devouring Beast's shadow, the angle of the sun, and then... then by using the Pythagorean theorem, I can calculate that this Star-Devouring Beast is 13,000 meters tall."
"The guy above is awesome! We've caught a top student!"
"Awesome +1"
"Awesome +10000"
Su Fan watched the netizens chatting with a smile; he hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time.
"Hello everyone, that friend's calculation just now was very accurate. This Star-Devouring Beast's height has indeed reached 13,000 meters; it is a Star-Devouring Beast King," Su Fan explained patiently.
At this moment, seeing the mecha Su Fan was piloting remain motionless, the anger in the Star-Devouring Beast King's eyes intensified.
Its eyes lit up again, and thick red rays rained down like they were free, frantically attacking Su Fan's mecha!
"Holy crap! God Su, get out of the way! The monster is attacking you!"
"God Su! God Su! Holy crap, holy crap! He's been hit! It's all over!"
"You're the one who's finished! Can't you see God Su standing there completely unharmed? This Star-Devouring Beast King's attacks can't break his defense at all!"
The Star-Devouring Beast King attacked continuously for a while, but its attacks couldn't break the defense at all. Su Fan grew a bit annoyed by the roar, so he gently pulled out the greatsword from his back.
"Family, let me perform a special technique for you. Type '1' if you want to see it."
"1"
"1"
"1..."
Countless "1s" instantly filled the entire screen.
"Since everyone is so eager to see it, I won't decline. Everyone, keep your eyes peeled!"
"This move of mine is called..."
Su Fan suddenly soared into the sky, instantly reaching the very top of the moon's atmosphere. Then, with his head down and the greatsword pointing toward the ground, he accelerated downward!
"I wonder if any of you have heard of a sword technique that descends from the heavens?!"
Su Fan's voice drifted through the live stream room.
The mecha he was piloting was falling downward at an unparalleled speed.
"Divine Sword of Tathagata!!!"
Boom—
The greatsword was like a knife through tofu, pinning the Star-Devouring Beast King from head to toe onto the lunar surface!
...
