Appearing in front of Sebastian is a body that is all black. A humanoid creature with a height of more than 3 meters has a pointy head, and its hands and feet are sharp claws; it looks rather weird. And this peculiar image reminded Sebastian of a Super-Peak species, the Black Flare family.
This is a rare and powerful race because all the species in this family are Super-Peak levels, and their combat power is alarming. There are various shapes: Bird-shaped, Animal-shaped, Fish-shaped, Turtle-shaped, Insect-shaped, and so on. And this one in front of him is a human figure, which is the Obsidian.
When Sebastian realized this, he dared not to have any carelessness and the attack was launched immediately. Because the Obsidian comes with the Black Flare Field, it's a Force Field, as it can change the speed and direction of objects inside. Over time, the strength of this Force Field will increase.
This is the toughest opponent Sebastian has encountered so far in his Promotion. And there is only one solution, and that is to knock it down fast and not give it the possibility of using the Force Field. The Drill Bullets were launched, but in this Force Field, the speed of the round suddenly slowed down a lot.
The Obsidian frowned slightly, and suddenly, the surrounding Force Field shrank. It shrinks to a range of just 100 meters. When the Drill Bullets reach a range of 100 meters, the speed drops rapidly again. Another powerful effect of the Force Field is to change direction. Although only slightly changed, the whole goal has deviated quite a bit.
Whoosh-! The Drill Bullets were "forced" to miss the Obsidian.
"Damn..." Sebastian suddenly thought that he seemed to be wrong. To deal with the Supernatural creatures of the domain type, there is no need to get any powerful weapons. The faster the better.
Sebastian used the Spiked Bullet. It burst out and went straight at the Obsidian on the opposite side. After the deceleration of the Force Field, it still has a great speed. At the same time, Sebastian fired an AGM-12 Bullpup, and the bombardment hit the Obsidian.
Although the direction is still changed, it still exploded, igniting all the contaminated objects around it, including Obsidian. This is also a weakness of the Obsidian; although there is a strong Force Field, its defense is average. One is not enough, so Sebastian used another one. Two were launched and set the surrounding ground on fire. Sebastian felt the effect of the Field was declining.
"Each Field has its weaknesses, and it's easy to find a way to counter them." Sebastian thought to himself. Then a fatal blow was struck, and rounds of Drill Bullets were launched.
Passing through the Force Field, the speed is only slightly weaker, and the orientation also changes very little. And this time, Sebastian also learned to be smart and scattered in all directions. There is no suspense; the Obsidian's physique is relatively weak at the same level. It was pierced by the Drill Bullet. The Obsidian looked at Sebastian in disbelief and then fell heavily.
A reminder came from the awakening space, [ Minor Mythical-Level Difficulty, Pass. ]
The surrounding environment changes, and it's time for the Great Mythical Difficulty. This time, there are two examiners. Their appearance is square, and they also have a pair of small wings on their back.
Taking a look at this image, Sebastian recognized it immediately. This is the only Super-Peak species in the Labyrinth Family, Labyrinth Golem. The last time he saw something like this was with Jane's Maze Puppet.
Sebastian couldn't help raising his eyebrows. This is no ordinary maze; it is stronger than concrete. If it were someone else instead, they would probably find a way to destroy this Labyrinth.
"You dare to come in?" Golem's tone was a little surprised. Then he laughed again and said, "You are confident, if you want to die, come here."
It was dark inside the maze, but Sebastian had prepared lighting equipment. There are also Micro-Drones with Sebastian. Utilizing the advanced detection equipment, I soon found the location of the enemy, and Sebastian immediately fired an AGM-12 Bullpup. The reason why they are hiding in the labyrinth is that their combat capability is not strong. The result was not surprising; after being hit by a Missile, they died.
This line of prompt text appeared in the awakening space, [ Great Mythical-Level Difficulty, Pass. ]
"Great Mythical Level, it is not so hard," Sebastian thought about it. On the contrary, Obsidian is more troublesome. Of course, in terms of strength, these two are stronger. Change it to someone else, and they would have a headache.
"Only the last level left." Sebastian took a deep breath.
The final is the Eternal Difficulty. What will be the test for this level? Nobody knows. Many people have tried it before; however, the examination method is different each time, so there is no way to prepare in advance. For so long, there has not been a Planetary Lord who has passed.
The scene changed. Seeing your surroundings, Sebastian was slightly startled. It turned out to be an ordinary flat land.
"Challenger, congratulations on passing all the previous difficulties and coming to the end." A familiar voice sounded. Sebastian looked forward and was startled. It turned out to be the man from the first level. The voice and the shape are the same.
"Aren't you already dead?" Sebastian asked suspiciously.
"The examiner does not die." The man smiled slightly.
Sebastian immediately understood. The examiners of the awakening space may not be real; there is no such thing as life and death. And from this sentence, Sebastian also saw that the man in black was different from the man in Normal difficulty. How could this man be smiling?
"You should be guessing what the Eternal Level assessment is?" The man looked at Sebastian and said, "I can tell you now."
"Really?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
"I know you have a very powerful weapon." The man said.
"You know that too?" Sebastian was a little curious.
"I know as soon as you come in here." The man smiled and said, "In terms of combat power, I am not an opponent of that powerful weapon. But this time the assessment is not about combat power. If you want to pass this level, you have to address your weaknesses. Otherwise, no matter how strong your weapon is, it's useless."
After the voice fell, Sebastian felt something was wrong. The man disappeared, and the surrounding environment suddenly darkened.
"Night Assassin!?" Sebastian immediately thought of a certain species.
The next moment, an icy blade appeared on Sebastian's neck. Night Raid is the exclusive talent of the Night Assassin. They can teleport to the target's side and perform a fatal blow. It's not the same as Ordinary Assassins; the combat power of the Night Assassin is extremely powerful. The armor was immediately scrapped.
Powerful Melee Assassin is also one of the Supernatural species that the Astra Militarum is most concerned about. In the case of being close to the Assassin, powerful weapons are not easy to use. For Drill Bullets, Missiles, etc., how can they use them?
This is aimed at Sebastian's biggest weakness at present. It was originally based on Sebastian's guess. For the Eternal-Level Difficulty test, he judged that an Atomic Bomb may be used, but he didn't expect that the examiner was an Assassin.
The man didn't stop as the next attack was launched, like flowing water, and full of killing intent. This time, Sebastian would not have the protection of his armor. The man showed a smile. Immediately, he was surprised to find out that Sebastian's body had changed. It turned out that he turned into something that he could never have imagined. He turned into the examiner.
At this moment, Sebastian activates the Cybertronian's transforming properties. This feature allows for perfect changes into all kinds of mechanical equipment, such as household appliances, cars, computers, robots, and the like. But now he can change into stones, rabbits, trees, flowers, and so on. Just in case, Sebastian used the system to deduce it first. Since I knew in advance that it was a Night Assassin, how could he not be prepared at all?
The men attacked. After cutting the armor, Sebastian transformed. One of the characteristics of the Transformation is that it's not just physical resemblance; even the opponent's ability can be copied. Although other Assassins also have this talent, the Night Assassin also comes with a night effect. It can darken the surrounding environment to increase the success rate of raids.
The moment when the man cut his head, Sebastian teleported behind him. Then, not with a dagger, but with a Drill Bullet passed directly, aiming at the head of the man. Without any precautions, the man can't imagine that Sebastian has such a trick. He was instantly pierced through the brain, and almost the entire head was ripped off. The body slowly fell to the ground.
Looking at the enemy who died, Sebastian finally let out a long breath. Although in the simulation training, there are tricks that have been practiced, it is only in practice.
"Fortunately, the characteristics of the Cybertronian are quite powerful, or else this assessment is gone." Sebastian couldn't help thinking.
And at the same time, Sebastian also wanted to understand. Why were there so many Level 2 Planetary Lords who lost before? No matter how good the talent is, they all failed at this difficulty. Because this test does not test your strength, it's your weakness. As a Level 2 Planetary Lord, no matter how advanced the civilization is, there are weaknesses. The Eternal Difficulty examiner is specifically aimed at this weakness.
The Dragons created by Augustus are strong. Offensive and defensive, they can engage in close combat, have long-range output, and also fly in the air. But if you look into it, there are still weaknesses.
In the Endless Star Territory, after countless years of planet development, some species counter the Dragon family. If one is targeted, that result is only one. Like what happened to Sebastian this time, a very powerful Night Assassin. After the man dies, in the awakening space, a new line of text appears.
[ Congratulations, you passed the Eternal-Level Difficulty. ]
After this line of text is displayed, the same as the last Planet Promotion, Sebastian was teleported back to the huge square in the field of stars. In the square at this time, about half of the people have come back here and get together in groups. The discussion was one after another.
Looking at the faces of the crowd, Sebastian knows that no one is a failure. However, there are a few people whose faces are not so good-looking. It is estimated that they failed to pass the assessment difficulty of the Great Mythical Level. This is also normal; in previous years, there was such an example. This year will be no exception.
After a few minutes, Aiya, Aini, Kong, and Shia teleported back almost at the same time. Looking at each other's expressions, they all laughed at each other. They all know that everyone is sure to be promoted successfully, so there is not much to say.
Huo Kong glanced around the crowd and asked, "You should all be going to challenge the Eternal Difficulty, right?"
"Do you?" Aiya asked back.
"Although I know how many points I have, I still tried it, and the result..." Kong smiled helplessly and said, "I was dealt with in an instant. Damn it. The examiner turned out to be the biggest nemesis of my unit's characteristics. It is a supernatural species of decimating energy that I've never seen before."
Hearing this, Aiya and Aini looked at each other. Aiya couldn't help laughing and said:"It seems that everyone is the same, what they encounter is their biggest nemesis, and..." Aiya added a bit of tone: "Their strength is particularly powerful."
"It is estimated that it is a powerful Supernatural creature that has appeared in history." Shia guessed.
"It is possible." Patton nodded and said, "This requires us to challenge the most powerful creature in the long river of history, and it is still especially denied us; no wonder no one has ever passed this Eternal Difficulty."
"It's too difficult." Kong shook his head and said, "There is no possibility at all; it is too far away. I was instantly stunned, and I couldn't even see the exact appearance of the other party."
"Me too," Patton said with some shame.
"Yeah." Shia nodded.
Although Aya and Aini were not stunned, they were not much better.
"Sebastian, how about you?" Huo Kong looked at Sebastian.
Aiya and the others also looked at them one by one. If it is said that the one who can last longer must be Sebastian, the champion of this year's Star Competition.
"I encountered a very powerful and unexpected Supernatural species, and it is also my big nemesis," Sebastian said. Everyone seemed to understand. Although Sebastian did not continue, everyone guessed it. He definitely can't beat it.
"I don't know if other forces have passed this most advanced assessment?" Kong asked.
There was a smile on his face, and is completely relaxed. Aiya and the others are not worried anymore. You can only know if you have experienced it yourself. How dreadful this test is, that's not something a human can do at all.
"Impossible." Patton shook his head and said, "I think it's unlikely that anyone will pass."
"Really?" Aiya was startled suddenly and then took out the communicator. After a few glances, with a smile, he said, "The news of other forces has come out. As we guessed, those big monsters who are considered very promising, none of them worked. All have fallen at the feet of Eternal Difficulty."
"It's a strange thing to pass." Huo said cheerfully, "I am completely relieved about this."
"No more..." Aini suddenly said, "The one who passed the Eternal Difficulty at the previous level, didn't he pass?"
"I think it should not be," Aiya said to himself, "Second to Third Level is more targeted than the First to Second Level. It seems that the strength of the examiners has not improved much, but the difficulty has increased a lot. Not to mention, if it does pass, how could there be no news at all?"
"Yes indeed." Kong nodded and said, "This Endless Star Territory will automatically send congratulations, it hasn't been for so long, it seems..."
Speaking of which, Huo Kong's voice stopped abruptly, because he found out that on the ground of a huge square, suddenly the whole thing brightened. It seems to be projected by some kind of light.
"No way!?" There was a hint of surprise on his face, and he looked up slowly in disbelief.
