A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1558 - 1049 Star Fort

Everyone naturally expressed their welcome for Lumiaire’s arrival, originally, the next step should have been to prepare a welcoming feast.

But......

"What now?"

Standing in front of the dilapidated mansion, everyone looked bewilderedly at Duanmu Huai, who also looked dumbfounded...... What else could they do? It was already good that the house didn’t collapse entirely! But even without a collapse, it’s basically like someone directly busted in your face, how are they supposed to repair this mansion!

The Mage’s Mansion can solve the problem, but it can’t be used all the time.

Hmm, let me see what else we have......

Duanmu Huai opened the system, rummaged through his pockets again, and then silently sighed.

Forget it, let’s just go with this.

"Let’s not worry about it for now, let’s head up first."

With this thought, Duanmu Huai decisively abandoned contemplation, and waved his hand. Hearing his words, everyone was taken aback.

"Head up? Where to?"

"Onto the spaceship first!"

This mansion can’t be fixed anytime soon, and there’s temporarily nowhere else to fix it. What Duanmu Huai can use right now is very limited, if nothing works, this is the only option......

The girls followed Duanmu Huai and boarded Lumiaire’s spaceship. They had to admit that this kind of peculiar vehicle was something they were seeing for the first time.

"Is this a plane? It seems even bigger than a passenger jet......"

Naruse Mio curiously touched the smooth inner wall, while Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"You’ll find out soon enough. Alright everyone, put away the little tables and chairs, fasten your seatbelts, we’re setting off."

"Setting off? To where?"

Following Duanmu Huai’s directions, Liliath obediently sat in the seat at the back, then took out a seatbelt and buckled it, afterward she asked, while Duanmu Huai raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"Find another place to fix the house! Go forth, Lumiaire!"

"Yes, Sir Judge."

Upon receiving Duanmu Huai’s command, Lumiaire nodded at the control panel. Moments later, the red spaceship raised its nose and suddenly accelerated, and all they could hear was a "boom." In the next moment, they watched the scenery outside the window change rapidly, as the blue sky and white clouds flowed past them, like surging seawater separated by the nose on both sides.

Except for Frieren, everyone was modern-day people who had flown before, so this was not the kind of situation to be shocked about. Even Frieren, having nothing to do would fly around every day, was now used to it. She was merely sitting on the chair, curiously watching the spaceship, seemingly pondering how something so large could fly.

However, gradually, as the sky outside changed color from azure to deep blue, the girls became a little unsettled.

"Lord Duanmu, where exactly are we going?"

Banriya tugged Duanmu Huai’s clothes somewhat uneasily and asked.

"Wait and you’ll see."

Duanmu Huai chuckled, without answering, then they watched as the sky turned from deep blue to pitch black.......... subsequently, specks of shining starlight appeared before them.

"We’ve reached the designated orbital location."

Following Lumiaire’s voice, the spaceship slowly turned its direction, and then, a gigantic azure sphere appeared in front of the girls.

"———————!??"

Upon witnessing this, Liliath, Naruse Mio, and Banriya were dumbfounded.

"Wait? Mr. Duanmu?"

"Uncle?"

"Lord Duanmu? Where are we now?"

"Just as you see, we’re now off Earth."

Duanmu Huai appeared very calm.

"Alright, don’t be so excited, nothing major here."

"This isn’t anything major?"

Naruse Mio said, while reaching out to touch around her.

"But isn’t there no gravity in space?"

"No kidding, this isn’t some backward space station. If it didn’t have artificial gravity technology, wouldn’t coming here be a torture?"

Duanmu Huai curled his lips, then opened the system, pulled out the marketplace menu, looked at the item descriptions inside, and his mouth twitched.

This is really outrageous...

Looking at the item list in the system marketplace exchange, Duanmu Huai felt like crying. He originally thought that if he could summon his warship, he wouldn’t have to worry about global strikes anymore. Unexpectedly, this system wasn’t kind enough to give him loopholes to exploit. The sky-falling war machine directly smashed into his Western-style house... which he had managed to buy as a bargain...

Although Duanmu Huai had money now and wasn’t afraid to buy another one, the problem was that he got it at a bargain!

Is it the same to buy an antique at an auction for ten million versus picking one up in an antique market for a hundred?

Forget it. Talking about these now is pointless.

Duanmu Huai seldom used the system marketplace for exchanges. The reason was simple: in games, players could earn marketplace currency through events, but in reality, this lousy marketplace wanted only one thing.

That was his Divine Position experience!

Are you kidding me? Was it easy for Duanmu Huai to accumulate Divine Position experience? No way he’d invest it all here!

Now it’s good, being in this world, not allowed to bring something over-standard, only able to exchange—this system, whoever made it, has a strong vibe of "I’m going to screw you over." Just like those damned restaurants—Sorry guest, we don’t allow bringing your own drinks, you can only purchase ours for consumption...

Damn, it’s truly a tradition, why do you want so much experience from me! I can upgrade with experience, can you upgrade with experience too? If there were a GM, I’d want to complain now!

Duanmu Huai silently gave a middle finger to the system.

Of course, while cursing, he still had to do what needed to be done. For Duanmu Huai, since his enemies were local Indigenous Gods, building an extraterrestrial orbital structure was imperative. That’s the gap between planetary deities and cosmic deities; no matter how much a planetary deity can cause storms or overturn mountains and oceans, at most, they just create havoc on this tiny planet.

Just like how the Monkey Sun could never escape Tathagata’s Five Fingers Mountain. And as a cosmic deity, Duanmu Huai could completely employ this method for dimension reduction strikes.

Let me see what’s available... Mountain Array... No, that’s using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes. This thing might work against the Evil God, but it’s wasted on these local Indigenous Gods and is insanely expensive.

Duanmu Huai searched for a long time and finally chose a Deathwatch Star Fort. This star fort primarily dealt with those fugitives and cultists in the asteroid belt, on the ground, it’d be the size of a tower. Of course, for Duanmu Huai, this tower-level star fort was sufficient to deal with this planet’s Indigenous Gods.

Even though this tower-level star fort wasn’t large, technically speaking, that’s because it’s in space. Just like when you look at those space stations, they seem narrow and cramped, difficult to turn around. But in fact, these space stations are dozens of meters, equivalent to several floors on the ground.

This tower-level star fort is the same; even if it seems small in the universe, on the ground, it would at least be the size of a gigantic castle.

Certainly, Duanmu Huai chose it not only because the consumption of Divine Power experience was less but also because it packed a punch in a small package, equipped with Light Spear Cannon and Near-Earth Orbit Defense System, and had airdrop capability. This meant if Duanmu Huai discovered any Non-compliant Gods appearing anywhere on this planet, he could directly perform a parachute-free drop—maybe even crush them to death.

Also, this star fort specializes in electronic warfare, which perfectly complements Lumiaire’s abilities, making the surveillance of the entire planet’s information network unattainable.

Alright, this is it, concerning the experience... better deduct from the God of Destruction Divine Position.

After all, the experience of the God of Destruction is easiest to earn; killing a few Non-compliant Gods would compensate quickly.

Muttering "Out with the old, in with the new" in his heart, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand and watched the originally full experience bar of the God of Destruction start to shrink—it’s really unbearable for someone with OCD, it was full, and now it slowly branches down again!

Seeing the experience bar stop at about halfway, Duanmu Huai was speechless and felt like crying. With each level upgrade of a Divine Position, the required experience doubles, and the God of Destruction’s max level experience is calculated in billions. Now it’s suddenly halved—MMP, the Non-compliant Gods of this world better give me a boost, or I’m going bankrupt, okay?!

Then, Duanmu Huai reached out and swung his hand forward. Following his action, a light point flew out from Duanmu Huai’s hand, passed through the war machine’s barrier, and flew outside, then suddenly exploded.

"-------------------!"

Although there was no sound, the dazzling brilliance still made people involuntarily close their eyes and turn their heads away, and when everyone turned back, a resplendent and magnificent-looking church had appeared before them!

The entire church was stationed on a hexagonal platform, facing the Earth, with what looked like wall-like barriers surrounding it and hollow dark gun barrels standing upright. The towering Gothic church spires reflected sunlight, seemingly shining magnificently.

"Oh my god..."

Seeing this scene, Murasakifuji Ilina and Isia raised their hands in amazement and began to pray. Liliath and Naruse Mio weren’t much better, they stood there, dumbfounded, looking at the metallic church and unable to speak. Only Lumiaire and Mary seemed very calm—they’ve been with Duanmu Huai for so long, what haven’t they seen, they’re already used to it.

"Alright, let’s go in."

After Duanmu Huai issued the command, Lumiaire piloted Lameus to approach the star fort; the door opened wide and the next moment everyone was entering the hangar.

In terms of relative scale, for a tower-level cheap model, this hangar could only accommodate a Cobra Destroyer’s size, not very large but enough for Duanmu Huai’s purposes.

Walking out of the hangar and taking an elevator, they arrived at the center of the star fort, standing in a spacious and bright hall, looking at the reflective floor and luxurious decorations in front, and the azure planet outside, Duanmu Huai nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head, gazing at the group who had followed him in like puppets, dazed.

"Well, from today onwards, we’ll live here, alright."

"Ah... huh...?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai speak, Naruse Mio and Liliath absentmindedly nodded like sleepwalkers, and the next moment, they seemed to finally realize, widen their eyes in surprise, and look at Duanmu Huai.

"Eh, eh, eh!?"
