"What... what is this?"
Recalling those memories, Bai Qi felt as if his head were being torn apart. Perhaps Bai Qi couldn't understand it now, but he was absolutely certain that what he had just seen was something incredibly significant.
This also made Bai Qi's desire to become stronger even more urgent.
Originally, Bai Qi thought that through his information gathering during this period, he had gained a certain understanding of the Void. He might not have understood seven or eight out of ten, but at least four or five. However, he now realized he was wrong. Forget four or five, understanding even one or two was his limit.
Was it truly because he was still too weak?
After an unknown period of time, Bai Qi slowly sat up and looked down at his hands.
In the scene he had just witnessed, Bai Qi clearly remembered one moment: a monster larger than a planet, with skin so dark it seemed to meld with the Void. What appeared to be specks of stars were actually the monster's eyes and mouth. As Bai Qi watched this from an outsider's perspective, the monster seemed to pierce through dimensions and discover Bai Qi's presence. All its eyes turned sharply in Bai Qi's direction.
It was just a fleeting glance, yet Bai Qi felt all the strength in his body evaporate like a drop of water in the sun. Even his soul underwent indescribable distortions, and he was utterly powerless to resist.
Bai Qi was certain that if the scene hadn't been forcibly interrupted the next moment, pulling him back to the present, it was questionable whether he could still stand. No, he would definitely not be able to stand, and even if he could, he might not be himself anymore.
"What is this sense of urgency and endless fear?"
Bai Qi's mind raced, constantly trying to comprehend, but the more he thought, the more a sense of dread washed over him. This intangible fear followed him like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing and pressing upon his most sensitive nerves.
Gradually, Bai Qi realized his thoughts were fixated on those scenes. Whether intentionally or not, he kept recalling and contemplating those terrifying memories.
This made Bai Qi increasingly anxious and impatient. A slight inconvenience would lead to an outburst, and hundreds of guard robots had already been destroyed by his rage.
As Bai Qi flew into another rage, Savage arrived with his subordinates and several mutated Titan creatures.
"Hey! Holy Lord, what the hell are you doing?!"
Savage's question went unanswered. The only response was two scorching laser beams.
Fortunately, Savage was quick-witted. He quickly ducked and covered his head, and though he appeared somewhat disheveled, he managed to evade Bai Qi's attack.
The laser beams swept over his head, slicing two large mutated Titan creatures in half.
"Damn it, you forced my hand! Go get him!"
Enraged, Savage pulled out a technological gun, fired several shots at Bai Qi, and then signaled his subordinates to charge him.
However, facing the Holy Lord, especially an enraged one, not everyone had Savage's courage. None dared to charge alongside Savage. Even the loyal mutated creatures flinched, displaying an unprecedented fear, a fear from a genetic level.
Seeing that he was the only one charging forward, Savage also felt a desire to retreat. But Bai Qi gave him no such opportunity, and a surging telekinetic force pressed down on him.
Fortunately, Savage reacted swiftly, stopping abruptly and diving to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. Looking at where he had just stood, the ground was now indented with a pit half a meter deep and over a meter in diameter, created by the immense telekinetic force.
This ground was reinforced with alloy, yet it was gouged out to such a depth. A person would have been reduced to nothing.
"Damn it, Holy Lord, you're serious!"
Seeing Bai Qi's destructive power, Savage frowned and cursed. But his curses didn't hinder his actions. He took out an apple-sized energy core, placed it on his chest, and gently tapped it. The core emitted a glow, and a shimmering metal spread outward from it, covering Savage's entire body.
In mere seconds, a giant mecha, as tall as Bai Qi, appeared before everyone.
Savage, now transformed, didn't hesitate. His hand armor quickly reconfigured into two massive warhammers. Enhanced by thrusters, they unleashed astonishing power and speed.
*Bang!*
Savage's attack was unexpected, and with the aid of the thrusters, its speed was immense. But this time, his opponent was Bai Qi.
Just as the blow was about to land, Bai Qi raised his hand in time. His broad dragon claws clasped Savage's warhammers head-on. With a sudden surge of strength, the metal warhammers were slightly deformed.
Seeing this, Savage showed no weakness. Instead of retreating, he advanced. The warhammer formed by his other hand also swung towards Bai Qi.
Unsurprisingly, the warhammer was caught again.
Just as Bai Qi expected Savage to have some other move, four thrusters suddenly appeared in front of Savage. Once activated, he dropped the warhammers Bai Qi was holding and retreated dozens of meters.
The next moment, the two warhammers Bai Qi was gripping exploded, forcing Bai Qi back several steps. After the explosion, the warhammers transformed into metallic strands that reattached to Savage, becoming part of his armor.
As his armor was completed, Savage's back revealed two launch bays, and missiles rained down on Bai Qi.
Facing this ranged attack, Bai Qi's first instinct was to freeze them with telekinesis and then use their own attacks against them, a muscle memory he had developed.
Seeing the sky full of missiles, Bai Qi instinctively wanted to use his telekinesis. However, Savage, who knew Bai Qi's combat style well, would not allow him to do so.
Two energy pulses forcefully struck Bai Qi's chest, the scorching pain interrupting his incantation. By the time Bai Qi, enduring the energy pulses, prepared to use his telekinesis again, it was already too late. The missile barrage exploded one after another in front of Bai Qi.
Both the energy pulses and the missile barrage, despite their grand display, didn't actually inflict much damage on Bai Qi, not even scratching the surface. But Bai Qi couldn't stand being treated like this. He vanished from his spot, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Savage.
Savage attempted to increase the distance again using the thrusters on his body, but Bai Qi wouldn't allow it. He punched Savage in the chest, sending him flying a hundred meters away.
Before Savage could stop, Bai Qi appeared behind him and struck again, slamming him fiercely into the ground.
Savage's reaction speed was remarkable. After being slammed to the ground, he raised his hands, and the alloy on them immediately reformed into a shield. Simultaneously, four small thrusters activated, bracing against Bai Qi's descending iron fist.
