Chapter 2775: Chapter 926: Who Doesn’t Know Sunken Ship Farming? Single Pull Salvage Is the Real Skill (Part 3)
This...
How could the "Divine Warrior Armor" left by the creator appear in this place! And the model seems slightly different from those Sand Sea Guards seen in the Imperial Palace? Hmm, it seems cooler.
"Protect His Highness!"
Having just administered a painkiller, General Bopal’s response was evidently quicker.
He drew his Thermal Melt Gun with one hand and fired into the sky, trying to block the powered armor descending from above. The other Sanghai warriors also opened fire, but unfortunately, their weapons had little effect on the armor.
Murphy was anxious now, with no time to explain logic to these blue-skinned fellows.
Seeing the opponent’s attack, he aimed at the key figure guarded by them and charged down. Nearing the ground, he disengaged the flight pack to accelerate a second time in the air using momentum.
Guard Captain Sonnik judged that the target of the powered armor was indeed His Highness Hu Fu, immediately wielding a War Halberd and shield, activating Golden Rule: Guardian Protector, planning to shield His Highness but was struck by Murphy. With a punch landing squarely on the shield, breaking through the heavy shield, the energy matrix activated by the Guard Captain was shattered along with it.
Sonnik was sent flying, and His Highness Hu Fu, understanding what happened, reacted swiftly. He activated the defensive device given by his mother, intending to release kinetic neutralization field to buy time for escape, but upon activation, a strange error message popped up that the prince had never seen:
"As per the World Engine Defense Force ordinance, this item cannot perform hostile actions against individuals with extremely high permissions! User command triggers hidden countermeasure protocol! Commander-grade personal protection device usage rights temporarily revoked, access denied for another thirty minutes!
This item is shutting down.
Good luck, user."
"What?"
His Highness Hu Fu widened his eyes, and the next moment, as his guards were knocked away, he saw five metallic fingers gripping his arm.
This interaction immediately made General Bopal’s eyes widen, as he shouted:
"Cease fire!"
The Sanghai warriors dispatched to protect the Crown Prince were elite, obeying orders was just one of their basic advantages. With the General’s command, the warriors who surrounded Murphy or, rather, were surrounded by Murphy himself quickly lowered their weapons, fearing to inadvertently hurt the Crown Prince now held by the enemy.
"Step aside!"
Murphy had no time for introductions, so he used a force that would cause the Crown Prince pain but not harm, compelling him to follow, then stride towards the old General before him, sternly saying:
"Withdraw your men 500 meters back, I need to enter the solar ship. If you comply, I won’t harm this young man."
"It has already crashed, are you blind?"
General Bopal shouted half-seriously, half-jokingly:
"The solar ship engine has shut down, the main control program is offline, we can’t enter, how can you smoothly proceed? Release His Highness, before this stranger invites more trouble for himself."
"Really?"
Not exposing the Sanghai General’s words, Murphy opted for a more direct approach.
"Eden, assist!"
He spoke within the powered armor, and the invisible began its silent operation.
After a ten-second standoff between the parties, the lower deck hatch door of the solar ship behind the old General swung open, triggering the defensive weapon near the hatch in astonishment of the Sanghai people. A Light Energy Guardian Cannon emerged, aiming at the Sanghai people glaring at Murphy.
Their spaceship... the creator’s spaceship... had betrayed them?
"General! Retreat! This man is not our enemy."
In the midst of silence, His Highness Hu Fu, under restraint, shouted:
"He can manipulate the creator’s artifact! He is our comrade, follow his requests, I trust he won’t harm me... right, Lord Morphy?"
"Hmm?"
Murphy quickly opened the helmet of the War Marshal Armor, surprised, he looked towards Prince Hu Fu beside him, asking:
"How did you recognize me?"
"Nifytelli mentioned, she suspects you are the legendary ’Chosen of the Creator’, only the real Chosen can bypass Sanghai’s permissions to control the solar ship."
Hu Fu said softly:
"There’s no need for such tension, merely reveal your identity..."
"You don’t understand, Your Excellency, how dire the situation has become, The Master of Hunting is already born. I must now provide Lord Paryen and my God Slayers the aid they most need, follow me."
Releasing the smart Sanghai individual, Murphy let the guards attempt to take His Highness away, but Hu Fu prevented them, having heard Murphy’s words, the old General too signaled the guards to fall back, changing tone to say:
"However, the solar ship has crashed, Your Excellency, we can’t activate our mightiest weapon to bomb with the sun in assistance to the battlefield over there during this critical time."
"You label the solar engine as this ship’s mightiest weapon? Well, thankfully it seems you are unaware of how to properly utilize it."
Murphy shook his head, not elaborating, stepping onto the solar ship.
Upon entry, he commanded:
"Use my permissions to find the location of the ’God’s Scepter’ launch platform in this military-grade vehicle’s database; I need to activate it immediately."
"God’s Scepter? What is that?"
Following Murphy, Hu Fu asked in surprise, Murphy turned, raising a stout metallic finger to his lips, softly saying:
"Shh, don’t disturb my competent friend in discovering secrets. If you’re curious, just follow, as I earlier mentioned, the Sanghai people, self-proclaimed beloved children of the creator, akin to other races of this world, are...
ignorant of the true power."
