Chapter 653: Chapter 586: Coming to the Door Chapter 653: Chapter 586: Coming to the Door A somewhat abstractly shaped sailboat dashed across the ocean.
The sailboat had an odd shape, not resembling traditional boats, yet its speed was remarkable.
Breaking through the waves at high speed, the wooden-like sailboat continually undulated, pressing down large patches of seawater onto the deck with each descent.
At this moment, the pirates onboard were putting all their effort into various maneuvers, with the sails’ adjustments reaching their limits.
However, it was clear that this speed and mode of movement were not achievable by a normal sailboat.
This boat had some other special features as well.
At the bow, constantly struck by ocean waves, stood a voluptuous blue-haired beauty.
Her naval uniform’s buttons had burst open, and the beret she pressed down added a touch of heroism.
Each time waves thronged toward her, they seemingly automatically diverted around her, appearing gallant under the caress of the sea breeze.
The few people next to her looked at her, their expressions filled with zeal and awe.
Even the pirates who had just been subjugated felt the same.
Despite their fear, they worked furiously hard, making more effort than they had under their previous deceased captain, noticeably increasing the ship’s speed.
“General, the compass is experiencing interference, the enemy used an ‘anti-emotion report’ device.”
A white-haired man holding a compass reported respectfully.
“Ha,” although I don’t mind being used, that trickster is really annoying.”
Esdeath pressed down the brim of her hat, seemingly uninterested in the changes in the compass.
She just happened to pass by because of the death of her subordinates; that trickster had told her to just follow the compass.
But now, it seemed like another manipulation by him.
“He probably wants us to attack the large ship ahead, hmm, Banisher Spirit?
Esdeath, who initially seemed slightly bored, brightened up a little upon seeing the Banisher Spirit suddenly emerging on the deck of the giant ship at the horizon.
It appeared that Sauron had been defeated over in Middle-earth, and the Army of Justice had taken Barad-dûr.
There weren’t many orcs left, save some to breed and grow, and humans, who lacked the Yuan Force, didn’t interest Esdeath much, which is why she had chosen to sail conveniently.
But who would have expected to encounter a Banisher Spirit here?
“It’s the guy who killed Sauron…”
Esdeath smirked, a somewhat sickly smile spreading across her stunning face.
“Last time, Saruman wanted to join forces with me to deal with him, I should have agreed if I knew it would be this interesting.”
Hearing Esdeath’s words, her subordinates behind her also showed signs of worry.
They had vaguely felt Sauron’s divine power, and now a Banisher Spirit appeared here—it was either Sauron faking death and escaping here, or the person who had killed Sauron!
Either way, it didn’t seem good.
“General, although your strength…”
“Are you questioning me?”
Esdeath glanced coldly at her lieutenant, silencing him instantly.
“That’s my prey, none of you interfere.”
However, Esdeath still valued the lives of her subordinates.
If a battle were to break out here, they would be wiped out.
“You all continue with the plan, I’ll draw them out.”
With those words, Esdeath leapt from the ship, landing on the sea.
Under her feet, the surface quickly turned into ice and she moved swiftly toward the distance, transforming into a blue light, all the while leaving behind an extensive trail of ice…
Tao Yu, using the perspective of the Banisher Spirit, also spotted that enchantingly mad beauty in the vast ocean, whose power was undoubtedly lethal to this ship.
Even modern aircraft carriers, highly resistant to strikes, with thick special steel that could withstand a 500-kilogram super torpedo,
Might just crumble like brittle, paper-thin ice upon encountering Esdeath.
“I think you may be in trouble…”
Tao Yu stood up, sensing Esdeath’s challenge, which indeed also aligned with his stereotype of her.
“What has Tao Yu discovered?”
Laifu’s expression was somewhat grave.
The opponent’s strength was not inferior to his own, and earlier he had sent out several subordinates, called Undead by his companions, who might have some special means to share their vision!
“It’s probably the League of Interceptors.”
Tao Yu’s words made everyone on the bridge look solemn.
For them, they would rather encounter those troublemakers in the shadows than the League of Interceptors!
Currently, those troublemakers were not very strong, and they hadn’t deployed a World Breaker yet.
Even if there were powerhouses of that level, their numbers were certainly limited!
The three of them indeed had the strength to cope with it.
But the League of Interceptors was a different matter.
After they had regrouped and reappeared, there were traces of the World Breaker level among them, and not just one!
“Alright, they have challenged me to a duel, I’ll go handle it; the rest is up to you.”
Tao Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, making the three open their mouths in protest, but ultimately, they said nothing.
Laifu sighed and said,
“Then please be careful and stay safe.”
After Tao Yu turned over, mounted the Alien Dragon, and rose from the aircraft carrier’s deck into the skies.
It was the emaciated Baan, who looked almost like a skeleton, who finally spoke in a hoarse voice,
“He says it’s a challenge, but if he doesn’t want to help, he could just say so.
No need for excuses.”
“Let’s just leave it.
He indeed has no obligation to risk himself for us.
Notify everyone to prepare for battle and send the reconnaissance drones up to lock onto their precise location.”
“I think he might really have a duel planned, not just fleeing the battle,”
mused Ski, clad in a sci-fi combat suit, casually.
But after saying it, he laughed himself, as if there was no need for it.
And if they really wanted to challenge someone, why not just invite them directly before the battle starts?
Afraid of the Catastrophe Level’s massive impact?
Achieving the level of a World Breaker was already remarkable.
Moreover, the League of Interceptors had not yet shown Catastrophe Level capabilities…
Ignoring the preparations on the aircraft carrier behind him, Tao Yu raced directly through the sky towards Esset.
“Her strength is formidable, and the ability she holds is very tricky, even theoretically capable of freezing time.
But similarly, if one can employ Grazing, the effect is also not bad…”
The Hanged Man found that Shepherd digested the best.
Now, the Flame Demon, Dreadlord, and Sauron in his hands were all standard Catastrophe Level!
Along with Teng Lianghong, Yue Yun, and Tes, who were strong World Breakers.
Plus Scathach and Medici, and leveraging his own power.
He felt this should be a giveaway…
“But I still can’t be careless; I don’t know how many she has slaughtered or how much she has gained from it.”
A lion uses all its strength even to hunt a rabbit; Tao Yu had no intention of holding back!
The Alien Dragon burst through the cloud layer, diving directly toward Esdeath standing atop an icy surface far out at sea.
As the Flying Dragon dove, the world behind Tao Yu began to fold, dragging out a fiery trail of twisted space, growing more intense.
It seemed to connect the whole world, continuously folding and covering over toward Esdeath.
As Esdeath, standing on the ice, looked up at Tao Yu and the oncoming folded space,
far from showing any hint of worry, her face instead revealed a twisted pleasure.
“A powerful adversary…”
Upon seeing Tao Yu’s face, her smile grew even more sinister.
“He’s quite handsome…”
