Chapter 684: Chapter 355: Plasma Spark Tower, Giant Army_2

After finishing her words, Leng Wanbai made a move to leave.

"Wait, Leng Wanbai, since you’ve returned, why do you want to leave again?" Da Gong asked.

"Because the forces of the same kind here are overwhelmingly strong. If I want to develop my own power, I’ll inevitably become your enemy, and I currently lack the strength for that." Leng Wanbai replied.

"Power? If you are willing to fight alongside us in this Star Domain, why wouldn’t you be able to have your own power?" Brey said with a smile.

Leng Wanbai’s expression shifted slightly. "What do you mean by that?"

Brey explained: "Here’s the deal: if you’re willing to join us, apart from the Main Star, you can choose any other planet you like. How does that sound?"

Leng Wanbai’s golden pupils flickered slightly before she shook her head and replied, "Still no."

"Why? Isn’t one planet enough to satisfy your appetite?" Kada sneered.

The other four also looked displeased; was this guy’s appetite really that big?

Leng Wanbai surveyed the five of them and said, "To speak the truth, if you give me one planet, within a few years, you’ll all become the stepping stones under my feet.

And before my power fully develops, you will certainly sense an imbalance and jointly target me, leading to war. I don’t want to offend the King of spine-eating Gu."

"What..."

As soon as these words were said, the five’s faces turned ashen.

What was this?

Blatant disdain for them!

"Hmph, Leng Wanbai, while your strength is indeed no less than ours, your arrogance is way out of hand. Do you truly believe that gaining control of a single planet would make it possible for you to crush us? You’re underestimating people way too much!"

"Exactly, it’s obvious you’re an overconfident Perfect spine-eating poison from a small place. Please take a hard look at the current situation..."

Kada said dismissively, "Exactly, people from small places always think the universe is just that big. You have no idea what our true power looks like."

Leng Wanbai replied with a calm gaze, "Think however you want. The decision to let me stay or not is up to you."

"You’re staying, of course!"

Kada snorted coldly, "I’m curious to see how you plan to develop and expand in just a few years."

The other four exchanged varied looks, ultimately glancing at each other before deciding to let Leng Wanbai stay.

Young people, once they’ve been struck down enough times, they’ll slowly learn and grow.

Leng Wanbai would regret her arrogance at this moment.

...

The Fourth Planet of spine-eating Gu.

Leng Wanbai smoothly took control of a Life Planet. Looking at the endless sea of kneeling human-shaped spine-eating Gu, she waved her hand with an austere expression.

"Today, you are the first batch of my Giant Army, and I expect you not to disappoint me!"

After finishing her words, the Space Gate opened wide, and an impossibly dazzling light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire planet.

"Hear my order: from now on, cease all wars and focus all efforts on constructing the Plasma Spark Tower!"

"Yes!"

...

A month later, the towering glazed tower was erected successfully. The dazzling light atop the spire released an overwhelming energy that compelled all living beings to tremble endlessly.

Leng Wanbai slightly nodded toward the Void. Hidden within, Qin Shou extended his hand, and the light energy within him dispersed rapidly, bolstering the light energy converter on the tower’s tip, engulfing the entire planet at lightning speed.

"Buzz..."

In an instant, the vast light burrowed into the bodies of the spine-eating Gu, transforming them into light.

Ordinary light energy wasn’t sufficient to transform the spine-eating Gu, merely enabling them to acquire the Light Energy Attribute. However, with the passive effects of the light energy converter, the transformation became foolproof.

In the state of light energy, the spine-eating Gu retained their consciousness but couldn’t control their light-energy forms, panic-stricken all the while.

Soon, giant stone statues fell heavily to the ground, and all the spine-eating Gu transformed into light clusters seemed irresistibly drawn by the depths of their souls, hurriedly plunging into the energy crystals embedded in the statues’ chests.

"Buzz..."

The planet’s light grew even more radiant. Yet, moments later, as the brilliance rapidly subsided, the giant stone statues officially awakened.

"What is this..."

"How is this possible? Our bodies..."

"We’ve become light..."

"These bodies... are so powerful."

"This is the power of Light Giants..."

"Hahaha, this is amazing; my strength has instantaneously skyrocketed manyfold..."

A chorus of giants cheered ecstatically, their gazes drawn to the icy, graceful figure atop the Plasma Spark Tower’s spire.

"Sworn allegiance to Lord Leng Wanbai!"

"Sworn allegiance to Lord Leng Wanbai!"

An innumerable number of giants knelt and shouted fervently, shaking the entire planet in the process.

Beside Leng Wanbai, the Void rippled.

"Xiao Bai, excellent work," Qin Shou said with a smile.

Leng Wanbai smiled faintly and gazed at the vast cosmos outside the planet.

"By now, they should have already noticed, right?"

"They’ve been keeping an eye on you all along," Qin Shou said coldly.

"What should we do now? Crush them with the Giant Army?"

"No, we need even more Light Giants," Qin Shou said, narrowing his eyes. "There’s no way they won’t be tempted by methods that turn spine-eating Gu into Light Giants."

Leng Wanbai considered thoughtfully, "Oh, so you’ve already planned to use the entire Devouring Spine Gu Clan to pave your way forward."

Qin Shou nodded, "Exactly, while using the creation of the Plasma Spark Tower as an excuse to gather all the resources of the Devouring Spine Gu Clan."

Leng Wanbai was about to say something when Qin Shou suddenly pointed toward the cosmos.

"They’re here. I’ll retreat first."

With that, Qin Shou melted into the Void and disappeared without a trace.

In the sky above, the spine-eating Gu army blanketed the entire planet.

"Leng Wanbai, we need to have a talk," a massive shadow appeared in the sky.

Leng Wanbai smirked internally but maintained a cold and indifferent expression outwardly.

"Come down, I’ve been expecting this."

As her words fell, five silhouettes broke through the Void and descended onto the spire.

As their gazes landed on the tower’s dazzling light, the five were visibly shaken.

"So, this is the secret to transforming spine-eating Gu into giants?" Kada said, his face filled with greed.

Leng Wanbai showed no concern about their scheming and nodded, "That’s right. This is a treasure I brought from an unknown star system. It can transform most creatures into Light Giants."

Da Gong could hardly suppress his excitement and said, "Leng Wanbai, you know we cannot allow you to grow unchecked.

So, let’s collaborate!"

"Yes, collaboration!" Kada chimed in, his greed temporarily restrained.

He understood clearly—this was not something that could be monopolized.

Leng Wanbai pondered for a moment and said, "Collaboration is fine, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" the five asked.

"I’ll assist you and your subordinates in transforming into Light Giants, but I want to be the strongest!" Leng Wanbai revealed her ambition at the right moment.

"You mean... to be the king?" the five were stunned.

"No, impossible. The king is the strongest; you could never surpass him..."

Leng Wanbai shook her head, "What I mean is, I want to be the strongest among you."

The five exchanged glances; so she wanted to be the leader? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Thank goodness.

The five transmitted their thoughts telepathically.

"What should we do? She wants to rise above us—this is absurd!"

"Should we just seize it?"

"No, given she dared let us approach this thing, she must have some countermeasures. Acting impulsively might backfire; who knows how many steps are involved after taking possession of this thing?"

"You’re right. So, do we agree to her terms?"

"Sure, agreeing is fine. As long as we stay united, even if she acts as the visible commander, she won’t be able to challenge us."

"Exactly, once she converts our army into a Giant Army, she’ll have no choice in the matter."

"Alright, it’s decided then."

The five finished deliberating and said in unison, "Alright, we agree to your terms."

Leng Wanbai finally revealed a faint smile.

"Here’s a list of materials. Prepare them first for constructing the Plasma Spark Tower."

The five accepted the list, their eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

The materials needed to build the Plasma Spark Tower were so many?

This would drain their resources dry!

The five exchanged glances but offered no objections.

First, they’d form the Giant Army—then they could slowly reclaim everything!

They understood that these so-called materials were nothing more than Leng Wanbai’s attempt to extort them.

"By the way, the Giant Army transformation must remain confidential. If our enemies disrupt the plan, we’ll be at a disadvantage." Leng Wanbai reminded them.

Kada waved off her concerns, "Don’t worry. Aliens couldn’t infiltrate our territory, and though the Mirror Planet People could replicate spine-eating Gu, they couldn’t evade the detection of the Mirror Core."

Leng Wanbai nodded, "Alright, then let’s discuss the materials needed to craft the Giant Stone Statues."

"What? The list doesn’t include materials for the Giant Stone Statues?"

The five appeared visibly troubled; at this rate, they’d be bankrupt.

Leng Wanbai reassured, "No need to panic; crafting the Giant Stone Statues only requires a significant amount of Mirror Fragments, not more expensive materials."

Upon hearing this, the five finally let out a breath of relief.

After years of warfare, they had more than enough Mirror Fragments.
