Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1793: Chapter 1025: The Strongest

’The Key’...

Even though Leon didn’t know what kind of ’key’ it was, as the master of the Death Angels, he was well-acquainted with his ’birthplace’, the place where he fought, which was the Knight Star.

It was the core device of the Knight Star, something he discovered after unifying the entire Knight Star.

Why were the forests on the Knight Star twisted? Why did they breed huge beasts far beyond what normal ecosystems could produce? Why was the awakening rate of Psychics particularly high? Why did mysterious disappearances happen frequently?

These answers remained unknown during the long human colonization of the Knight Star, but after he unified the planet, he certainly had to find out.

Especially after the planet returned to the Empire’s rule and introduced Imperial technology, he further investigated it.

It turned out that within the core of the Knight Star was a vast and awe-inspiring creation. It essentially comprised the entire planet’s core. The whole planet might have been formed over long astronomical ages, constructed by the ’core’ as it attracted countless materials.

There was a mysterious power present there.

In the flagship of the Empire’s founding expedition, he led the Death Angels away from the Knight Star to wage war in the vast universe. Meanwhile, on his home planet, the remotely commanded research department had been studying the core facility’s condition.

There were some results.

For example, they could channel part of the energy from the core device to serve as the energy source for transforming the Knight Star; it increased the success rate of the Death Angels’ enhancement surgeries and even further enhanced the soldiers who completed the surgeries; it made the awakening of Psychics controllable.

They even started researching the weaponization of the core device.

It was during this period that they began to refer to it as the Divine Artifact, and it could be considered a significant secret within the Death Angel legion at that time.

Until the Knight Star was shattered into countless pieces during civil war, and the Divine Artifact disappeared.

However, although the Death Angels developed many applications for the Divine Artifact millennia ago, the artifact in Leon’s hands, in the Death Angels’ hands, was essentially different from the one in Bas Sol’s hands.

With the artifact in his hand, he could only use it for those limited purposes.

But in Bas Sol’s hands, it had countless miraculous uses.

One of the most important uses was as a ’key’, unlocking ancient weapons, allowing Bas Sol to grasp the opportunity for divine ascension.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Gu Hang’s words, he would never have believed that the Death Angels’ home planet was so closely related to an Evil God’s ascension ritual.

But the reality was just so, and he could only accept it.

Apart from this most important use, in Bas Sol’s hands, it could directly be weaponized.

Relying on the Divine Artifact, he built a planet modeled after the Knight Star. The Death Angels fighting on it already deeply felt the hostility of this planet. He could also use the Divine Artifact to produce numerous Demon Engine War Machines and bio-beasts, which were significant challenges to the current human forces.

Beyond forging armies, the power constructed by the Divine Artifact also directly enhanced his incarnation.

The influence of the reality barrier was immense. Some ordinary existences might not feel it so strongly, but the more powerful the subspace entities, the more they were constrained. In a situation where the subspace gods found it very difficult to project power into the real universe, Bas Sol’s greatest reliance on breaking through the reality barrier to stir numerous storms in the real universe was this ever-more completed ’Knight Star’.

And the current incarnation he used was even more so.

Without the ’Knight Star’, without the Divine Artifact, he couldn’t maintain such a high-intensity incarnation to fight Leon.

With a thunderous explosion of power, Leon was directly sent flying.

Leon, who had just stood up with the Lion King Sword for support, had to face countless laser beams, particle cannon shots, and energy molecular line attacks, forcing him to dodge desperately and occasionally counterattack with his handheld gunpowder-based weaponry, but with little effect, at most hoping for some restraining effect.

He could only dance on the knife’s edge and patiently look for another chance to advance to Bas Sol’s side.

...

Gu Hang felt that the Lionheart King was doomed to fail.

From the beginning of the battle, he had been closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield.

He once had high hopes for Leon Charlie.

Leon’s understanding of himself was, at least in part, correct: he was indeed the strongest individual among the current humans in the real universe.

There’s no need to mention those who haven’t reached the level of the Son of God; among those at the same level, there were just three humans.

Robert, Martins, Leon.

There’s no need to mention Martins; this ’Little Primordial Body’ artificially created by Gu Hang had indeed reached this level, this tier. However, most closely matched Robert in combat power. His command ability was inferior to Robert’s, but it sufficed, at least holding his ground independently. He didn’t possess Robert’s outstanding administrative ability either.

And Robert? Ten thousand years ago, in the era when the Sons of God roamed the world alongside the Emperor, Robert was not distinguished by combat ability.

Describing his combat performance as underwhelming is not quite right, nor accurate, but evaluating him as average would be fair.

Yes, anyone of average combat ability would be evaluated as average...

But Leon was different.

Calling Leon the strongest warrior among all the Sons of God might be contentious; however, to say he was a strong contender for the ’strongest’ title would pose no problem.

According to Gu Hang’s assessment, even the somewhat aged Lionheart King might not be as sharp as he was in his prime ten thousand years ago, but when it came to a fight, perhaps combining Robert and Martins might only achieve a stalemate against him.

For such a powerful Son of God, Gu Hang hoped for a miraculous performance, to destroy Bas Sol’s incarnation and lead the Imperial Army to win this victory.

However, it proved to be too much to hope for.

It wasn’t that Leon was performing poorly.

In Gu Hang’s observation of the battle situation, the strength Leon exhibited was basically as expected. There weren’t too many surprises, but he didn’t perform poorly either.

But the issue was that Bas Sol’s incarnation was far beyond expectations!

If this continues, Leon stands no chance of winning.

Gu Hang must think of another way to help.

Watching the Alliance’s war history, when they defeated the so-called strongest Green Skin Orc, the Green-skinned God’s beloved Prophet, the powerful figure known as the Bone Shattering King, how did the Alliance win?

They won by ganging up on him.

Could this method be replicated?
