Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 417 - 42: Slaying the Starship! Ascending the Celestial Vault! (Part 1)

In the upper district, there are numerous factories producing synthetic starch for the consumption of the lower district residents in the Nest City.

The materials used are unknown, as it is imperative that the people below remain in the dark.

The distant industrial farms have completely collapsed, with most of their crops supplied to the upper district nobility of the Nest City.

The middle district typically consists of technical personnel, while the upper district houses administrative officials. Only they can enjoy fresh meat and vegetables, but due to the high energy costs of maintaining the farms, the Nest City’s sustenance system caters to a very select few.

On either side of the upper district of the Nest City are docking ports, where thousands of ships are now airborne, seemingly as the upper district elite are attempting to flee.

The Defender Army of the Mechanical Divine Sect is still barely maintaining order, with it clearly visible that some opulently dressed individuals are getting priority boarding on the ships to escape.

Boom!

But in the next moment, countless vines erupted from the ground as the Balancer of All Things reached the surface. The dark green vines speared through the ships at the port like sharp spikes. As its massive and bulky figure squeezed out from underground, the entire port area rapidly collapsed, causing thousands of opulently dressed upper district nobles to plummet into a deep abyss and vanish into the darkness of the Underground Nest City.

In the face of death, all beings are equal.

The Balancer of All Things indiscriminately slaughtered all life nearby, like a rolling amalgamation of flesh and plant. Countless roots pierced into the flesh, gradually incubating more Tree Sea Evil Spirits.

Dimension Space.

From a god-like perspective, swarms of dense fighter aircraft appeared on the strategic map.

Even before getting close, a barrage of missiles bombarded them, and these swarms of fighter aircraft had massive and bulky frames, exuding a heavy industrial style, marked as Archaeopteryx aircraft, Sky Claw, Valkyrie, etc., differing from Duncan’s knowledge of fighter jets, relying more on anti-gravity engines for control.

In an instant, Lady Fungus spewed countless spore polymers, which obscured everything like a canopy.

Thousands of missiles exploded like fireworks!

Roughly more than ten kilometers away from Duncan, the ground deck began to bulge, followed by a giant tumor bursting forth, releasing tens of thousands of Demons in an instant. They possessed sharp, dense teeth, stood barely over ten centimeters tall, had pointed ears, exaggerated noses, hideously bloodthirsty expressions, and dark red flesh wings, swarming out like a hive.

These creatures, which resembled a mix of goblins and small demons, hatched at an incredibly rapid speed, expanding to a scale of millions in no time, swarming towards the fighter aircraft swarms in the sky, overwhelming everything with their sheer numbers.

"Adapting World Laws!"

"Riding Skill transforming into driving ability! ...Adapting to vehicle knight mechs, Titan Armor, Archaeopteryx fighter aircraft, Glory Interstellar Battleship, etc.!..."

"Adapting World Laws!"

"Archery skills transforming into shooting ability! ...Adapting to various firearms, cannons, missiles, railguns, etc.!..."

"Adapting World Laws!"

"Military Weapon Master transforming into Master of Close Combat Weapons! ...Adapting to Force Field Swords, Power Hammers, plasma weapons, etc.!..."

One Law after another began transforming.

In an instant, Duncan nearly mastered the use of various weapons of this era—a special ability unique to Heroic Spirits. Although they were strong in previous eras, through the resonance with the World, they could master the tools of the new era.

Typically, when a Heroic Spirit with superior riding skills is summoned, their vehicle operation is top-notch, capable of effortlessly handling motorcycles, cars, airships, fighter jets, and even aircraft carriers.

Because their vehicle abilities are conceptual.

Duncan’s silhouette transformed into a crimson lightning bolt tearing through the sky, his Cursed Long Spear streaking like a shooting star. Behind him, dozens of Archaeopteryx fighter aircraft exploded one after another. As he drew the Nord Bow, the furious Wind Power gathered frantically, forming a small-scale magic power vortex.

—Multi-Arrow!

—Rapid Fire!

Hundreds and thousands of Wind Arrows shot through the sky. The fighter aircraft swarms in front of Duncan exploded into a sky full of fireworks, with hundreds of fighter aircraft plummeting simultaneously. Although these modern war machines held tremendous destructive power, they would quickly become scrap when severely damaged.

—Thunderstorm!

—Eye of the Hurricane!

The Balancer of All Things reverted to human form, reaching out towards the sky. In the next second, a tumultuous storm brewed, turning the sky above the Nest City pitch black. Thunder rolled like dense electric serpents descending, while the terrifying Eye of the Hurricane directly manifested in the upper atmosphere.

All individuals of the Mechanical Divine Sect had mechanical modifications, and under the endless thunderstorm bombardment, were almost locked in place, facing one devastating hit after another.

"Detected the appearance of Catastrophe Level hatred!"

"Detected Eye of the Hurricane in the upper atmosphere!"

"Call for orbital strike!"

"Call for orbital strike!"

At this moment, far above the atmosphere, a rapid voice rang out inside a battleship spanning tens of thousands of meters. A Mechanical Sage gazed at the Eye of the Hurricane in the upper atmosphere with an extremely solemn expression and ordered, "Target lock!"

"Prepare for orbital bombardment!"

"Use Apocalypse Level Light Beam Weapon!"

A radiant pillar of light descended from the heavens, instantly vaporizing the area where the Balancer of All Things resided. The shockwave from the explosion tilted and collapsed the entire Nest City, with millions of lives vanishing instantly within the orbital bombardment’s range.
