Chapter 36 Such an Attack

“Such an attack… it’s a particle stream! The most annoying defense-ignoring attack, damn it!”

Fang Senyan was already calculating in his mind whether to use a Ray of Hope, but that would mean that if he encountered the Queen of Blades, he would have one less trump card to save his life!

However, the expected intense, scorching pain did not arrive. The fierce particle stream brushed past Fang Senyan’s cheek and accurately hit the air behind him… oh, no, it should have hit a Dark Templar who was about to emerge from behind.

The look of astonishment on the Dark Templar’s face instantly turned into anger, but then, another more violent positive-negative particle stream slammed into his body, turning him into particles and scattering him into the air!

Fang Senyan exhaled a long breath and couldn't help but smile:

“You missed the best opportunity to kill me just now, buddy.”

A white giant orb slowly drifted out of the hole, it was Artanis in his Archon form. He snorted coldly:

“It would be too easy to kill you, but I don't want you to die without knowing why. I'm just repaying the favor I owed you before, it'll feel better to kill you later.”

Fang Senyan laughed, grabbed a large piece of metal component nearby, weighing several hundred kilograms, and threw it backward with force. After hearing the crisp clanging sounds, as well as angry shouts and screams, he suddenly said to Artanis:

“How's your stamina?”

Artanis was stunned:

“What?”

Fang Senyan smiled, but didn't say anything, and turned to run away. Artanis immediately realized what he was doing and couldn't help but curse:

“Hey, aren't you the MT? Go tank, kill all the pursuers behind!”

Fang Senyan ran easily ahead and said:

“Save some energy, it would be a big loss if we get held up here and miss the most exciting scene.”

“What's the most exciting scene?” Artanis immediately asked.

He casually fired another particle stream, causing the road behind to collapse and plummet, and then hovered in the air to chase after Fang Senyan.

*

At this time, Fang Senyan learned that Artanis's main purpose this time was to earn enough merits to exchange for something very important to him, which was a shield enhancement device.

As mentioned earlier, Artanis gains a layer of amazing energy shield after transforming into an Archon, but the shortcoming is that this energy shield is considered to have zero defense.

This shield enhancement device allows the energy shield to inherit Artanis's own defense! It's essentially a disguised way to greatly enhance his survivability. In the previous battles, Artanis relied on the advantage of fighting alongside Fang Senyan, spamming Mind Blast without holding back, so he quickly earned a lot of merit points.

Before coming out this time, he had already exchanged all his merit points, and perhaps because the Protoss had internal strife and civil wars in the past, the relationship between them was quite peculiar. Even if Artanis betrayed them now, he would only be considered to have betrayed the Ul-Ajak tribe, and the personal relationships he had established before would not be affected.

This sounds a bit like “official matters don't affect personal relationships.” It's like Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin from the Three Kingdoms period, one was an important minister of Shu Han, and the other was a pillar of Eastern Wu. On the surface, they were enemies, but their private friendship was separate, so there was no psychological burden to betray them.

With Artanis's help, coupled with the fact that Duoge, who was in charge of the pursuit, also knew Fang Senyan's strength and was a little slack, the Protoss's pursuit became very light. On the contrary, the Zerg's pursuit remained unchanged. In this way, the Zerg's power was naturally weakened in disguise.

It should be known that the Zerg were also fighting against the Protoss at the same time. The battle between the two sides was originally at a small scale, relying entirely on the continuous replenishment of subsequent troops. With the Protoss slacking off, the trend of waxing and waning became very obvious.

Therefore, while the Queen of Blades cursed the Protoss for being unfaithful and unjust, she could only helplessly reduce the intensity of her attacks. Otherwise, if the guard force around her was weakened, the Protoss would definitely not miss the opportunity to besiege and kill the dignified Queen of Blades!

While fighting and retreating, Fang Senyan and the others began to gradually approach the core area of the city, where there was a towering and magnificent building. In terms of shape, three straight pillars were distributed in a triangular pattern, and the ends of the pillars were open hands.

These three hands pointed upwards, with a giant crystal over thirty meters high on top. The crystal was an amazing deep blue, like the ocean, and was extremely deep. There were also many exquisite decorative patterns like plants around it. The architectural style was still sharp and smooth, with an indescribable brilliance, which made people want to worship it.

According to the information Fang Senyan obtained from the documents in the Lost Temple, the three hands represent the three powers of the Council Leader, similar to the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of humans. This is a disguised system of separation of powers, and the nobles closely related to it live in the corresponding one. The crystal held up in the center of the three hands is considered to be the residence of the Protoss gods, which is extremely sacred!

At this time, when Fang Senyan and the others saw this scene, they couldn't help but associate and yearn for the spirit of overlooking the entire city from the giant crystal! To rule the world!

At this time, Artanis suddenly said to Fang Senyan:

“Hey, what do you mean by missing the good show you mentioned earlier?”

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

“You should know about the existence of the Lost Temples on this planet.”

Artanis said:

“Of course, this is a secret of the Protoss. I also know that there are a total of seven Lost Temples recorded in the universe, but in the last three thousand years, there is concrete evidence that only four of them still have life signs.”

Fang Senyan continued to smile:

“Then do you know why these Lost Temples, whose strength is completely insignificant compared to the current mainstream forces of the Protoss, can bargain with the mainstream forces, or even be on par with them?”

Artanis's expression became serious:

“I really don't know about this, but I heard that there are great secrets hidden in these remnants, said to be powerful lost technologies.”

“Strictly speaking, that's indeed the case…” Fang Senyan pinched his chin and said, “It's also reasonable to classify that thing as a type of technology, but it's just technology that is too far ahead of its time.”

Artanis's face changed, and he said in a deep voice:

“What is that thing you're talking about?”

Fang Senyan looked at him and smiled:

“Don't you really know why this vibrant planet has been turned into this state? Don't you know the root cause of the terrifying storm that swept the entire planet a few days ago?”

“It seems you also know about the God-Slayer.” Artanis said.

“Of course.” Fang Senyan said calmly. “This should be the real reason why the remnants can truly contend with the mainstream forces.”

Artanis said:

“But what do you mean by mentioning this matter at this time?”

Fang Senyan looked at the huge blue crystal in the distance, revealing a solemn expression:

“This great city was abruptly frozen into time, and even solidified for tens of thousands of years, and all the life in it was instantly evaporated, leaving not even corpses. Don't you think there's any connection in this?”

Artanis suddenly became sluggish. Many things are only worth mentioning once the veil is lifted:

“All life suddenly evaporated… the terrifying power of being abruptly frozen into time, could it be, could you be saying!!”

“This city also has the existence of a God-Slayer! And the power of this God-Slayer is very likely related to time, at least for now, it has become so powerful that it can confine the entire city in time for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. Of course, the price is that all the life in the entire city is evaporated!”

Fang Senyan said lightly. Artanis opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to refute Fang Senyan, but the words of refutation were completely unspeakable! Because he himself realized that although Fang Senyan's speculation was very bold, it was very likely after careful consideration.

“Since I can think of this, then the Queen of Blades and the current Protoss leaders must also think of this, and the location of the God-Slayer must be very obvious, right in that blue crystal.” Fang Senyan said unhurriedly:

“So, I don't intend to wade into this muddy water, because I don't have the corresponding strength now.”

“However.” Fang Senyan changed the subject here: “Have you seen the symbols on the three juxtaposed giant hands? The triangle should represent the legislative council, the circle is the administrative council, and the pentagram represents the judicial council. The most powerful force should be in the hands of the judicial council, so I am very interested in that building.”

“Do you think there is a power you want in there?” Artanis said:

Fang Senyan said:

“I'm just speculating, but I think if there really are Star Cruisers, which are unbelievably abnormal and on the same level as carriers, then they must appear in that place.”
