Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 240 - 162: The Strong Cockroach (Two in One)

In the virtual interface, a small asteroid cluster drifted silently through space.

With a light tap from Su Liang on the virtual barrier, several terrifying energy beams shot out, effortlessly pulverizing the asteroid cluster into dust.

After the dazzling burst of energy light, the asteroid cluster vanished without a trace.

Qin Shou looked astonished, "Mr. Su, the energy weapons installed on this spaceship seem powerful enough to directly kill a Nightmare-level Monster, don’t they?"

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed, but this weapon’s capability ends there. Against a true Nightmare-level Monster, you’d never get the chance to fire; they’d have fled long before."

"Makes sense."

Qin Shou agreed, having witnessed Su Liang’s preparations a few minutes ago. The firing speed rivaled that of the Superatomic System.

In a blink, Qin Shou noticed the faint radiance emitted by the asteroid fragments on the virtual display. The light from the fragments converged into a single not-so-dazzling beam.

"What’s this..."

Su Liang’s eyes flickered with a hint of peculiarity as he observed.

"Well, isn’t this unexpected."

Curious, Qin Shou asked, "Mr. Su, what’s going on now?" freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Su Liang waved his hand, "Just wait and see."

Qin Shou pouted, irritated by Big Black Face mocking his lack of knowledge.

As the spaceship approached the light beam, Leng Wanbai entered the control room, her expression startled.

"Cosmic Ghost?"

Qin Shou turned around and clapped his hands with excitement, "I know about Cosmic Ghosts! They’re gaseous celestial bodies accidentally discovered by humans. These bodies consist of intensely heated gases and have a hollow center—potentially a new type of celestial object. That’s why some call them Cosmic Ghosts..."

Leng Wanbai rolled her eyes.

"The Cosmic Ghost you’re referring to was an Old Era term, entirely different from what we mean today."

"How is it different?"

Qin Shou paused, glancing at the intensifying radiance on the screen.

Faint human silhouettes seemed to flicker within the radiance.

Indeed, there were differences.

Leng Wanbai shook her head, "Anyone clueless might think you’re some ancient relic from the Old Era."

Qin Shou’s expression turned peculiar. He had kept his time-traveling secret from everyone, including the Synthetic Monster.

Although Leng Wanbai hadn’t hit the mark, she wasn’t far off.

Women’s intuition—terrifyingly accurate.

Leng Wanbai continued, "What we now call Cosmic Ghosts are also known as Cosmic Mirages. Explaining them is immensely complex, but you can think of them as a phenomenon akin to mirages on Earth.

In this boundless universe, similar mirages occur."

Pointing at the light beam on the screen, she said, "Look, the scenes appearing within this radiance are projections from unknown regions of the universe."

Just as she finished speaking, the spaceship approached the light beam, and the figures within became discernible to the naked eye.

The radiance formed a glowing ring, and within it, countless densely packed figures came into view.

Though faint and spectral, Qin Shou noted that their attire resembled ancient costumes.

"Is this a projection from ancient times?" Qin Shou asked.

"I’m not sure, perhaps it is—or maybe this is what’s happening on the other side of the universe right now," Leng Wanbai replied.

The spaceship continued forward, and the scenes within the ring grew increasingly clear.

There were hundreds of figures, raising swords and blades high in the air, seemingly shouting or cheering.

Soon enough, Qin Shou realized what they were doing.

In the silent display, their expressions turned feral as they brandished weapons and sprang into action, unleashing a deluge of Sword Qi and blade radiance that swept forward like a storm.

At this sight, Qin Shou froze in alarm.

"At this level of attack, even the Unbreakable Realm would perish instantly."

Su Liang’s face grew solemn, "Agreed. Even with Beast Cultivation as backup, I wouldn’t stand a chance of withstanding this..."

Before finishing his sentence, a breathtaking sword radiance erupted from the front of the figures, slicing skyward while its suffusing Sword Qi transformed into a whirlwind, reducing the oncoming figures to blood mist in an instant.

The towering sword radiance then descended violently, splitting the heavens and earth apart, and annihilating countless figures within the blade’s path.

Though the display remained silent, Qin Shou could imagine the scene vividly.

Sword Qi stretching forty thousand miles, with a single blade chilling the nineteen provinces...

Damn it! I’ve entered a sci-fi world, and you’re pulling all this fantasy nonsense!

He raged internally.

"Buzz..."

In the next moment, the spaceship plunged into the glowing ring, and the virtual display transmitted an even more life-like image.

The ground was dyed crimson with blood, littered with shattered swords and broken blades destroyed by the Sword Qi.

The storm of Sword Qi gradually dissipated, revealing a woman dressed in snow-white robes holding a long sword, her devastatingly beautiful face still radiating killer intent.

The area within a few kilometers around her had transformed into Shura Purgatory.

Suddenly, she turned her gaze directly toward the virtual interface, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Qin Shou was stunned, "Did she notice us?"

Su Liang cast a glance at Qin Shou, "Relax. Cosmic Ghost phenomena are mutual. Once we’re within the glow’s range, she might be able to perceive the spaceship, but she can’t touch us."

Barely had Su Liang finished speaking when the woman reversed her grip on the sword, pouring her immense energy into the blade. A terrifying hundred-meter Sword Qi slashed sideways.

"Buzz..."

The fearsome Sword Qi swept past the control room without causing any harm to Qin Shou and the others—merely like an illusion.

Qin Shou’s eyes lit up with intrigue. Interesting.

Yet the woman’s expression changed upon witnessing this.

But she wasn’t about to let this sudden "monster" go easily.

She raised her sword horizontally, summoning a Sword Qi storm that channeled all her energy into a colossal sword radiance before slashing vertically downward.

"Buzz..."

The unparalleled sword radiance flashed across the control room again, as the massive spaceship hurtled toward the woman.

In her shocked gaze, she found herself abruptly inside the control room, locking eyes with Qin Shou.
