From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 204 - 168: The Pride of a Higher Civilization_2

The Mechanical Beetle slammed into walls to create large holes with every charge, but it never even touched Lu Heng.

Boos and curses rained down from the spectators, degrading the company that had created the Mechanical Beetle.

...

While Lu Heng was entangled with the Mechanical Beast,

In the Beast Fighting Warehouse, Su Muyu took out a crossbow and shot an arrow at a corner of the glass cabin.

Under the "Melt Armor" special effect, she pierced a hole through the glass cabin.

Afterward, she released Source Energy to summon her Divine Feather Eagle.

The Divine Feather Eagle entered an invisible state and began its exploration.

Once it had explored the entire structure of the Mechanical Arena, the match outside was over.

The venue was filled with waves of booing from the audience.

Because Lu Heng had dragged out the battle for a whole thirty minutes until the competition ended.

During this time, his training level in movement technique had increased by 125 points.

Lu Heng had treated the Mechanical Beetle purely as a sparring partner for practicing his movement technique, nimbly dodging around and above it without ever getting hit.

After the match ended, Lu Heng was not returned to the original Beast Fighting Warehouse but was taken to a spacious office.

Inside the office, a Sikes with no visible signs of mechanical transformation and a pair of blue eyes asked, "You must be an intelligent being, can you communicate?"

Lu Heng nodded, "Yes."

"Good. Then are you a Demon?" the blue-eyed Sikes asked.

"No," Lu Heng denied.

"Why are you here then?" the blue-eyed Sikes continued.

"The Abyss Battlefield summons, do you have information on this?" Lu Heng wasn't sure whether the Sikes Civilization at this point knew about the summoning rules of the Abyss Battlefield.

In his previous life, Lu Heng's first entry into the Sikes World was one year after Abyss Descent.

At that time, the Sikes Civilization had some understanding of the Abyss.

And the Sikes people were also subject to the summons of the Abyss Battlefield.

According to the summoning pattern of the Abyss Battlefield, all intelligent beings from worlds invaded by the Abyss would be summoned.

Because of this reason, Lu Heng had always felt that the summoning of the Abyss Battlefield seemed like support for worlds invaded by the Abyss, with the intention to unite with these worlds to fight against the Abyss.

Therefore, the Sikes would also be summoned, but it was uncertain from when.

"I see, then from which world do you come?" the blue-eyed Sikes asked.

"The Human World."

"What are your star coordinates?"

"Can't say," Lu Heng was not willing to disclose the coordinates of the sun because doing so might cause unknown events decades later.

"To what extent has your world been invaded by the Abyss?" the blue-eyed Sikes's questions were very pertinent.

"Seven months into the invasion, an Abyss Rift has already appeared," Lu Heng thought before sharing information he could share.

After answering, Lu Heng attempted to gain the support of this individual by saying, "I am here to help you; I hope we can fight against the Abyss together."

The blue-eyed Sikes laughed and said, "You're mistaken about something. Our civilization is very strong; we don't need help from other civilizations."

Lu Heng frowned, once again sensing the pride of the Sikes Civilization.

Indeed, the Sikes Civilization was arrogant, especially in front of Human Civilization.

Because the Sikes Civilization had reached a civilization level of over 2.1, much higher than Human Civilization. They had surpassed the Constant Star Civilization, and were evolving towards a Star System Level Civilization.

Whereas Human Civilization was actually only at level 0.8.

According to the classification of civilization levels, a 1.0 level civilization is a planetary civilization, which requires full exploitation of planetary resources.

Humanity is not yet finished with its planetary civilization phase; there are still many resources on Blue Star that it doesn't have the capability to exploit.

A 2.0 civilization, on the other hand, is a Constant Star Civilization, which can fully utilize the resources of a Constant Star.

Meaning, to evolve to 2.0, Human Civilization would need the technology to fully harness the resources of the sun.

The Sikes Civilization had completed the process of becoming a Constant Star Civilization and had begun to advance towards a Star System Level Civilization. Although they had only taken the first step in the development of a Star System Level Civilization, their level of civilization was indeed much higher than that of the humanity.

Therefore, the Sikes Civilization was not only arrogant in front of human civilization but held this attitude towards all inferior civilizations.

Lu Heng furrowed his brows and said, "The Abyss isn't as simple as you think; it's not something you can deal with just by having a higher level of technology."

"Is that so?"

The blue-eyed member of the Sikes laughed and said, "If that's what you think, then let me show you an interesting battle."

He then took Lu Heng back to the Mechanical Arena.

However, this time Lu Heng was not thrown into the arena to fight the Mechanical Beasts but was taken to the spectator seats.

At that moment,

in the arena, a Mechanical Beast was fighting a Wing Demon Commander.

The Wing Demon Commander flew into the air, roaring and launching an attack on the Mechanical Beast.

The Mechanical Beast, with its wings spread on its back, did not take flight but revealed 30 miniature missile launchers and simultaneously fired 30 mini Fusion Bombs.

With the fire control radar's locking, the 30 mini Fusion Bombs all hit the target, the Wing Demon Commander.

The Wing Demon Commander was blasted into pieces, its remnants scattering on the ground with no intact body to be found.

The blue-eyed Sikes turned to look at Lu Heng, arrogantly smiled, and said, "Do you understand now? Demons, to us, are no different from you humans, just toys for entertainment."

Lu Heng, after watching this battle between the Mechanical Beast and the Wing Demon Commander, said nothing.

If one were to judge solely from this battle, the technological level of the Sikes Civilization was indeed high, and the Mechanical Beasts they manufactured could easily obliterate Commander Level demons.

That was a fact.

However, Lu Heng, in his previous life, had entered the Capital Star of the Sikes Civilization. At that time, the pollution from the Abyss on the Sikes Capital Star was very serious.

The Descent Faction, Salvation Faction, and the Escape Faction were all fighting each other, and the civilization was constantly plagued by internal rebellion.

And the demons appearing in the Sikes Civilization were becoming more powerful, and the civilization could collapse internally at any moment.

Should the timeline develop as it had in his previous life, the Sikes Civilization would not escape a fate of invasion by the Abyss, followed by civilizational decline.

Lu Heng had seen the decline of the Sikes Civilization, a stark contrast with the attitude of the current blue-eyed Sikes noble.

In fact, Lu Heng had a lot to say, wanting to persuade him to reassess the terrifying nature of the Abyss.

But Lu Heng knew clearly in his heart that saying anything would be futile.

Because in the eyes of the Sikes, humans were just life forms from an inferior civilization, and in their eyes, humans were not much better than cockroaches.

Therefore, the Sikes would not listen to human persuasion, especially not a Sikes noble with blue eyes like the one in front of him.

So, Lu Heng lost interest in continuing to persuade.

Sometimes, in the face of such circumstances, one can only respect the fate of others.

Even if persuasion were truly necessary, it should be addressed to a Sikes willing to listen.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and then asked, "May I apply for a visa? As an envoy from another civilization."

In his previous life, someone had obtained a visa from the Sikes Civilization, which allowed them to move freely on the planets of the Sikes Civilization.

Of course, the premise was to obey the laws of the Sikes.

The blue-eyed noble laughed and refused, "You are just a plaything for the beast fighting arena; my willingness to speak with you is solely out of curiosity. Would your civilization issue a visa to an animal in a zoo?"

As expected.

Lu Heng was not too surprised and did not say anything further, then was taken back to the Beast Fighting Warehouse in a glass chamber by a robot that had been summoned.

After returning to the Beast Fighting Warehouse, Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu were still there.

The three began to discuss plans to escape the Mechanical Arena.

Originally, Lu Heng had hoped to obtain a visa to leave the Beast Fighting Arena freely by communicating with the blue-eyed Sikes noble.

Unfortunately, it was not successful.

There was no choice but to escape.

After their discussion, they planned to first destroy the arena's electrical system with the help of the Divine Feather Eagle, then release the most ferocious beasts from the warehouse, and finally seize the opportunity to flee the Beast Fighting Arena.
