Arthur stood there with three marks on his forehead, a white disc on top of his head, a large green plant snake coiled around his arm and torso, a hammer hanging on his belt to his right, and the storm of blades hanging on his belt to his left.
Finally, a giant violet bow slung over his back, thinking about a lot of things aside from the loss of control of his internal energy.
At the end of his introspection, his attention returned to the fact that the Aurora world is a cultivation haven to him. So he sighed and said to himself, "I guess I can only come here to cultivate at the fifth mortal coil in the future."
Meanwhile, Sword Flash continued talking about the situation. He said, "All is not lost. I'm sure that once we set up the domain, the negative impacts of the strong magnetic field will be removed or at least alleviated. In the meantime, we can only rely on the strength of our bodies."
As he addressed the people below, the avatars of the other patriarchs above were discussing the situation.
Bladed Hemlock said, "Good judgment on Sword Flash's part. He was able to analyze the situation quickly and give out the relevant instructions in order to keep the operation of the army going. This is why I thought that he should continue to lead the expedition."
Sky Eel nodded in agreement before saying, "At least, he made enough preparations to account for our lack of combat power in this world. Now that we are out of commission and can only watch, we can relax knowing that he has put the right people in place to lead the army."
Pink Dandelion sneered at the two of them and said, "Speak of yourself when you are talking about the people that are out of commission. I can still use some of my abilities, so I am not out of commission."
Her words made Bladed Hemlock chuckle and say, "You're right. I guess being an innately problematic plant has its advantages."
Blades Hemlock was complimenting her, but Sky Eel didn't agree with what she said. He looked at her and asked in disdain, "Since when did being weak become a good thing? Nascent soul juniors won't take the power you can produce now seriously, so how can I take it seriously?"
She shot back at him, "At least, I can do something. It has to be better than someone like you, who is crippled and lame."
Sky Eel didn't like what she said. So he said some choice words that he usually reserved for people that he looked down on. This caused them to start arguing.
The matter of contention is the definition of crippled and lame, and whether being able to produce weak power is better than not being able to produce any power at all.
On the one side is Pink Dandelion, who came with a dandelion avatar. This dandelion avatar can use some of her skills without the aid of spiritual energy. This means that it hasn't been entirely crippled by the strong magnetic field. But the amount of power it can produce without spiritual energy is poor compared to her normal power.
On the other side is Sky Eel, who is looking down on her for bragging about the fact that she can produce diminished power. To be honest, he is being biased against her, but that's only because he took offense when she refused to admit that her power had been crippled.
While these people were arguing, the world was moving on without them. There were enemies outside of the mothership, and these enemies had begun to attack the mothership.
The mothership is sturdy and can take a lot of damage, but they don't want it to take damage since it is literally their only means of transportation home. So the army had to stop the enemies from attacking their precious mothership.
The first method that they came up with to stop the attack on the mothership is to use the guns attached to the mothership. There was a large main gun, two large auxiliary guns, and many small, low-capacity guns.
The small, low-capacity guns were weak and could only produce power at the peak of the fourth step or 100C, but this was perfect for the occasion. After all, any more power than this would just be lost to the void.
The best part of the small, low-capacity guns was that they were rapid-firing weapons that could be moved around to fire in any direction. This made the only option to use here to eliminate and deter the enemies too close to the mothership, as the large main and the two auxiliary guns could only fire in one direction and were immobile.
With this decision made, Sword Flash gave the order to fire the auxiliary guns. But he didn't stop there. He also sent out the plant puppet army to repel the enemies and serve as a buffer for the main army before they are sent out.
There were about a hundred auxiliary guns installed in various positions around the mothership. Some of them fired missiles that track enemies, while others fire slow-moving plasma ammunition.
This time, the guns that were fired were the laser weapons. The laser weapons fired fast-moving blue laser beams at the enemies. The speed of the attack was so fast that it was undodgeable after it had been shot.
There were twenty of these laser weapons in total, so with them working together, they were able to easily turn the area of 1 kilometer around the mothership into a forbidden zone.
The gem people had responded with six fortresses. Since each fortress was led by a peak-level gem king, it meant that there were at least 6 peak level gem kings at the scene.
Of these six, two were picked off by the energy weapons. This was only because the guns had prioritized killing them and had focused on them at some point until they were dead.
