Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Players like him, who held high positions in the Waga Royal Court, weren’t actually afraid of death. The Royal Court had a profound foundation and would resurrect them using Soul Altars or other items and structures.

But if they couldn’t be resurrected, that was a huge problem.

Fear grew in Mices’s heart. He didn’t dare to self-destruct his Spirit God Mecha and hurriedly contacted the Royal Court’s central command. "Urgent request for help! Please activate the Deep Space Detector to scan for a Spirit-Catching Net outside the Strongest Royal Court. Confirm if, within a light-year, death results in one’s soul being captured, making resurrection impossible!"

While Mices waited for a response, Wang Yi’s attacks never ceased. The Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques were formidable, but they came at a great cost; overuse would cause his territory’s ecosystem to degrade. However, Wang Yi could freely use his Ice Soul Divine Sword, Starlight Flying Sword, Fantasy Avatars, and more.

Moreover, Wang Yi also had the Cyan Blade Sword.

The Cyan Blade Sword had no powerful special effects, but it was forged from Eternal Immortal Gold, making it incredibly solid and sharp. Even the Spirit God Mecha couldn’t withstand its blows.

Mices’s Soul Mecha was taking damage with every passing moment. Anxious, he sent another message. "Central Control, this is a critical situation, please respond immediately! Calling the Commander! Commander, get back to me, is there a Spirit-Catching Net or not...?"

This time, Mices didn’t have to wait long for the Commander’s reply. A projection of a Mechanical Girl appeared in the mecha’s cockpit. Expressionless, she said in a grave voice, "General Mices, I regret to inform you that the Spirit-Catching Net does indeed exist. The Deep Space Detector has confirmed it. The Strongest Royal Court’s ecosystem is powerful; within a light-year of it, the souls of the dead will enter its ecological cycle."

"So it’s true!" Mices’s heart went cold. "Damn it, what am I supposed to do now? Send me reinforcements! I can’t die here!"

The Commander said, "Regrettably, the Royal Court is unable to provide you with effective assistance at this time. Due to the National War, Da Hai City is gathering all its forces to resist the invaders. Please continue to fight."

"Continue to fight? Holy shit, they’re treating me like a sacrificial pawn!"

"General Mices, you could also try surrendering. The Deep Space Detector has opened a monitoring window on your position. If you can enter the Strongest Royal Court, it will be convenient for the Deep Space Detector to collect data, which would also be a contribution to the Waga Royal Court and the Nine Rivers Divine Country!"

"Contribution my ass..."

Mices roared in anger, and at that very moment, his cockpit was slashed open by the Cyan Blade Sword.

"I surrender! I surrender! Spare my life!"

Mices could no longer care about his dignity. He leaped out of the cockpit and immediately knelt to beg for mercy.

"Then escort him to the Eco-Celestial Prison."

Wang Yi didn’t deliver a killing blow. Mices’s level wasn’t low; rather than killing him, it was better to send him to the Eco-Celestial Prison to be a source of energy for his territory’s ecosystem.

At this thought, Wang Yi threw a Breaking Sky Fist. The punch broke through space, sending Mices into the Eco Battlefield.

Within the Eco Battlefield, a large contingent of troops was still waiting in formation, ready for Wang Yi to send over an opponent for them to take into custody.

In short, Mices was subjected to another round of torment before finally being thrown into the Eco-Celestial Prison, where he became neighbors with Kailo, Yu Xiaoyu, and the others.

Wang Yi continued to fight, casually annihilating most of his enemies. Only those who were high-level and surrendered decisively were sent to the Eco Battlefield.

A short while later, the entire Hurricane Pirate Gang was wiped out. A massive amount of warship wreckage fell upon the World Line, becoming scars of the battle.

’The Profound Celestial Sect is no longer under attack. The World Line’s Durability should start to recover slowly...’

Wang Yi reverted from his Great Five Elements Mountain God form. With a flick of his sleeve, he strode back toward the Profound Celestial Sect. He still needed to invade the Waga Royal Court through the spatial rift and continue the National War.

And at that very moment, within the Waga Royal Court’s mobile Da Hai City, in the central control room, the Mechanical Girl Commander bowed to a group of high-ranking Royal Court officials and said, "Everyone, my apologies. Due to a lack of sufficient information, I made an error in judging the strength of the Strongest Royal Court. I wasted a technological teleportation, and the Nine Rivers Divine Country has already issued a punishment. My term of service is about to end!"

"What do you mean?"

"Commander, you’re not planning to pack up and run, are you?"

"Just what kind of existence is this Strongest Royal Court? Can’t our Waga Royal Court defeat it?"

"Commander, you can’t just wash your hands of this!"

"Our Lord is absent. If you leave now, what will we do?"

The high-ranking officials of the Royal Court immediately broke into a flurry of discussion.

They were terrified, as they had also learned of Kailo’s failed sneak attack, the annihilation of the Hurricane Pirate Gang, and the existence of the Spirit-Catching Net. The Spirit-Catching Net, in particular, was what they feared the most.

The Mechanical Girl waited a moment before saying gravely, "According to the latest information from the Deep Space Detector, the National War will continue. If the Royal Court’s fleet can break into the Strongest Royal Court, victory is possible. Da Hai City still holds the advantage in a direct confrontation with Taishang, the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court. Future decisions are up to all of you. Commander 9846, signing off."

After speaking, the Mechanical Girl’s body seemed to disintegrate, rapidly dissolving into light from the bottom up. She vanished completely within a few breaths.

"The Commander ran away!"

"Without the Commander, our link to the Nine Rivers Divine Country is severed!"

"What does this mean? Has the Nine Rivers Divine Country abandoned us?"

"Running away as soon as things get tough... How despicable!"

"Everyone, the Lord is absent, and the Commander has fled. What do we do now?"

"The National War is to the death! We can only continue to fight!"

"The Strongest Royal Court has a Spirit-Catching Net! We can’t enter their territory recklessly!"

"Why don’t we just run? We could emigrate to another planet. At least we wouldn’t lose our lives!"

"Running isn’t out of the question. Fleeing now is better than having our homes destroyed and our families killed. Does anyone have a way to emigrate...?"

"We’ll never win if we don’t counterattack! I suggest we follow the Commander’s previous plan: launch a powerful counteroffensive and face the enemy head-on!"

"Sigh... if only the Lord could return now. If he were back, he could at least mobilize the other Three Emperors. The scales of victory would tip heavily in our favor."

"Let’s fight! The Waga Royal Court has developed for a thousand years, our foundation is deep, and our territory’s ranking is higher. I refuse to believe we can’t defeat a newly established Royal Court!"

In the control room, the high-ranking officials erupted into a loud debate, some even slamming their fists on the table. They split into pro-war and pro-flight factions. One group wanted to fight, while the other was focused on how to Avoid Battle.

Just then, as Wang Yi stepped out of the World Line, a beam of light suddenly appeared before him.

The light descended from the sky and quickly coalesced in front of Wang Yi, forming a Mechanical Girl with light green hair and a delicate face.

"Greetings, esteemed Lord of the Strongest Royal Court. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Commander Yi Eryi, special envoy from the Nine Rivers Divine Country. I have come to negotiate with you under the orders of the Divine Country’s Chief Engineer."

"Oh? Negotiate what?"

Wang Yi was slightly surprised. He carefully studied the Mechanical Girl before him. His Insight Divine Techniques provided him with some information: this Mechanical Girl was extraordinary. She had a level, and it was as high as 500!

"My Nine Rivers Divine Country is interested in forming a strategic alliance with you. If you agree, the Nine Rivers Divine Country is willing to provide your Royal Court with powerful technological support to help your territory develop rapidly. We can also provide you with various resources, materials, Star Yuan, and more that you may require. From now on, we will share in glory and in ruin. What do you say?"

"A strategic alliance?" Wang Yi laughed. "As far as I know, the Waga Royal Court has a very close relationship with your Nine Rivers Divine Country. I assume that was also a strategic alliance? What happened, did you have a falling out?"

"After an assessment by the Chief Engineer, it was determined that your Strongest Royal Court has more development potential than the Waga Royal Court and is worthy of close cooperation!"

"More development potential? So you just abandoned the Waga Royal Court? With an attitude like that, I find it hard to believe you would truly ’share in glory and in ruin.’ I’d rather not find myself facing a powerful enemy one day only to be abandoned by you as well!"

"That won’t happen! Our cooperation with the Waga Royal Court was merely developing a subordinate. But with you, we would be forming a strategic alliance. The Fifth Dimension is currently in a civil war, and my Nine Rivers Divine Country urgently needs allies from the Eco-School. The Chief Engineer said that if you agree to the alliance, we will provide the greatest possible support and, within ten years, help your territory ascend directly into a Divine Country. How does that sound?"

"Can I refuse?"

"Of course. We will not force you."

"Good. Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I have decided not to get involved in this karma. I still have a National War to continue. You may see yourself out."
