761 Great Sky Seal Array
Two months later-- High above the central region-- Planet Nihari
*Deep inhale* "Cough Cough! The research and development team did not lie, indeed the breathing is getting difficult the higher we rise."
"Brother Billy, just turn the pendant back on and let it do its job, we have to focus on what we are doing here." Alexander scolded, but he couldn't resist except to deactivate the pendant for a moment to test for himself before he deactivated it again.
"It's not like we're doing anything, we're just here to supervise." This time Billy looked down, then took out a water bottle from his space ring and let it drop, "...Wow."
The view under Billy's feet was majestic. The extreme height he was floating into right now made him see the clouds, mountains, and rivers as if they were a large painting beneath him. He even noticed the curvature of the planet, despite its huge size. Although he had been flying since he reached the realm of a saint, he definitely did not think he could reach these heights!
"It's I... I'm the one who was appointed to supervise here, not us." Alexander sent a quick glance toward Billy, then caught something with the side his eye and shouted, "Hey you, take two steps to the right! to the RIGHT!!"
"Yes!" An emperor wearing gold and black armor and holding a huge banner floated slightly to the right, "Like this?"
"Excellent!" Alexander raised his index finger, then shouted to the others around him, "Would you PLEASE move a little faster?! we don't have all day!"
At this moment, at least 250 Emperors were standing around Alexander, some of them were humans from Jura's army wearing gold and black, some were demi-humans wearing scattered pieces of armor acquired from the point system, some were Greenlanders and were known for their wooden armor, and between each one was a gap that range from several kilometers to tens of kilometers. The common thing about them is that they are all floundering like idiots left and right while raising huge black banners, hours have passed while they are acting like this...
Perhaps the main reason behind this delay is that Billy was not the only one fascinated by the view below. All the Martial Emperors here did not reach this height in their lives. Simply put, physics almost changes as you move away from the surface of the Earth, whether pressure, air composition, temperature, or many more factors that changes dangerously the higher you go. Trying to rise to such heights in the past would have only caused them to fall like a meteor, but not today... not with their new equipment.
After throwing out a few more things, Billy raised his head again and asked, "Hey, Alexander, why do you think Robin suddenly changed his mind? This isn't normal for him... Usually, his head is like a rock when he decides something."
11:44
"I don't know either. The past two months have been very stressful for everyone. His Excellency has not seemed in his normal state... but I have inside information." Alexander raised his eyebrows teasing Billy
"What are you waiting for, man!!" Billy walked up and punched Alexander on the shoulder. Although Alexander is several hundred years older than him, on the surface they appear to be buddies of the same age, and they are now in the same social standing as generals of the True Beginning Empire. Over the past few years, Billy has been spending a lot of his time with Alexander because of the Greenland War, and after the war ended, they maintained this strange friendship.
"Alright alright!" Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke seriously, "...I heard that when His Excellency came out of seclusion two months ago, he headed straight towards the Sky Opening Tower while dripping with sweat, and immediately ordered everyone to drop what they had on hand and start working on this Great Sky Seal Array." "
"Everyone knows this! What else do you have?" Billy asked quickly
"Alright, but don't tell anyone... Old Gu told me that he heard His Excellency talking to Zara and told her the reason behind his change of mind."
"What is it? What is it?!" Billy grabbed Alexander's arm tightly
"He told here..." Alexander looked right and left as if he was ready to tell a dangerous secret, "...He told her that he had a bad feeling."
"..."
"..."
"Is this a joke? A bad feeling made him abandon the plan he had been preparing for years and think of a new one and implement it in just two months? Alexander, are you joking with me? Don't think that I will hesitate to beat you up!!" Billy took out an empty water bottle and raised it threateningly
"If you can do it, come and try it." Alexander hit his new friend on the back of his head twice
"You piece of--!!!" Billy almost stepped forward with the bottle
When a voice came next to them, "General, the last one has taken his position, everything is ready."
"Oh? Excellent." Alexander's expression returned to seriousness, then he also took out a banner from his space ring and passed his energy into it.
*Vroom*
The black banner left Alexander's hand and began to gradually rise and glow, and the same thing began to happen everywhere in sight around Alexander. All 250 emperors breathed a sigh of relief and let the banners do the rest.
*Vroom* *Vroom* *Vroom*
*Shaa*
Suddenly several cords of energy came out from the banner that Alexander was holding and extended to the nearest five banners, then from the five flags sent cords for the nearest 25 banners, and so on~ until within minutes, all 250 flags were connected into one huge pattern.
"Wow..." Billy raised his head and marveled, not at what was happening, but at the size of what was happening... That huge array seemed to cover the entire sky!
"HAAH!!" After Alexander was certain that the array had been activated, he did as he was told and used the black bracelet around his right wrist to move the main banner down, and with it, the rest of the giant array moved.
"...Where are you sending them?" Billy muttered as he watched the banners fall quickly. The lower the banners went down, the greater the distance between each banner and the others would become. After the distance was a few kilometers, it became tens of kilometers, then hundreds of kilometers. In the end, Billy could only see one flag, had it not been for the glowing dense energy cords that were still stretching across the horizon, Billy would have thought that the array they had worked on for hours had been broken.
"Now look at this." Alexander smiled, then snapped his finger
*SWAAASH*
The banners stopped when they reached the level of the clouds, and then a light field like a sheet of energy began to extend between the glowing energy cords. Within just a few minutes, that field covered the entire central region.
"...Well, that was awkwardly awesome, now what should we do?" Billy muttered as he watched the majestic sight below
"Now, Billy, we do what we've been waiting for for months." Alexander smiled, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.
