Linley couldn’t help but frown.
The drop of blood actually splashed onto the interspatial ring, then rolled off and fell to the ground, striking it with a ‘whap’ sound.
“Damn! That Lancelot has a divine clone that is still alive!” Bebe said angrily.
“So it really was the case!” Linley had been mentally prepared for this all along.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of commanders who entered the Planar Battlefield would leave a divine clone outside. After all, the chance of death in the Planar Battlefield was simply too high. As for Lancelot…clearly, he had left a divine clone outside as well, causing Linley to be completely unable to open this interspatial ring.
“Aaaargh!” Bebe immediately called out furiously. “The defensive Sovereign artifact! The defensive Sovereign artifact is also useless!”
If even the interspatial ring couldn’t be bound, then the same would naturally be true for the defensive Sovereign artifact.
Linley glanced at the dark golden armor, then laughed and said, “Bebe, don’t worry about that. You should know…this defensive Sovereign artifact was given to Lancelot by a Sovereign. Even though we killed him, the Sovereign will still take back the Sovereign artifact. At most, we’d be able to use it temporarily for a time.”
“I know this principle, but we should’ve at least been able to wear it for a time, right?” Bebe said helplessly.
“For a time? Who knows when the Sovereign would come and take back the Sovereign artifact.” Linley said with a calm laugh.
Linley even suspected that Sovereigns were monitoring the Planar Wars at all times. The Sovereigns might immediately take back their artifact, or they might wait…wait for a bit of time to pass before taking it. But one thing was certain; a Sovereign artifact acquired through killing someone would definitely be taken away by the Sovereign in the end.
“To me, what I really feel is unfortunate is the loss of that badge.” Linley shook his head and sighed.
“Right. We can’t take the badge out either.” Bebe said resignedly.
According to the rules of trading for military merits, once the Planar War concluded and the combatants exited through the interspatial gate, they would immediately receive military merits based on the number of badges acquired. Even if Linley found Lancelot’s clone in the future and forced him to withdraw the gold badge, it would be useless.
“So some badges actually end up going to waste like this.” Linley said with a bitter laugh.
Perhaps an expert might kill seven or eight other commanders and acquire seven or eight badges. But if the expert was in turn killed, that person would only acquire a single badge. As for the seven or eight badges in the interspatial ring, there was no way to retrieve them. They had to go to waste.
“There must be many that go to waste. For example, during the final battle in the Stellar Sea corridors.” Bebe said with a sigh. “That’s a place where you gamble with your life. Perhaps you’ll end up fighting all the way into the chaotic space regions of the Stellar Sea. Also, some badges will fall into the chaotic space regions or the spatial tears of the Stellar Sea.” Bebe said.
Linley nodded slightly.
“It seems as though relying on taking advantage of the work of others isn’t a simple thing. Unless the person has no divine clone outside, of course. But the number of people who would do that is too little.” Linley said, shaking his head.
Acquiring enough military merits wasn’t a simple task. It had to be done step by step.
“Boss, what should we do with the interspatial ring? Destroy it, or keep it?” Bebe said.
“Keeping it will only result in problems and no benefits. Destroy it.” Linley said with a calm laugh.
“Whap!” Bebe exerted some force, completely crushing the interspatial ring in his fingers. The items within the interspatial ring all transformed into nothingness as well.
“This Sovereign artifact…leave it here for the Sovereign to collect.” Linley said with a calm laugh.
“Haha, actually, even if we wanted to destroy it, we wouldn’t be able to.” Bebe said, then he gave the dark golden armor a few kicks. “Damn, it’s pretty hard. Hmph…my body hasn’t reached its limits yet. In the future, I definitely won’t be weaker than any Sovereign artifact.” Bebe harrumphed.
Although Bebe’s defensive power was great, each time he devoured a divine spark, he continued to use the essence of the divine spark to strengthen his body.
It was a process that took some time. The amount of time Bebe had spent at the Highgod level was a million years less than what Beirut had spent. There was still a difference between the two of them.
Linley calmly trained there in the cave, while his original body continued to control his Deathgod Golem as bait.
The Planar Battlefield was the same as it previously had been. On the surface, it was calm, but in the shadows, battles and massacres occasionally erupted. Although the Planar Battlefield was very dangerous, Linley, having succeeded once, was now confident in himself. He had acquired a gold badge in less than a year. If he could acquire one every ten years, much less every year, he would easily accomplish his goal.
He calmly waited. Waited for a big fish to bite on his bait.
“With my heart at peace…my training has increased in speed as well.” Linley laughed calmly, opening his eyes.
“Eh?” Bebe, as though sensing it, opened his eyes to look at Linley as well. “Boss, what is it?”
“Bebe, make your preparations. I’ve already discovered people nearby.” A hint of light flashed through Linley’s eyes.
“We have a target?” Bebe instantly grew excited, jumping to his feet. “Haha, it’s been less than half a month, but we have a new target. It’s time for me to show my skills off yet again. Haha!” Bebe was extremely energetic.
“Don’t be impatient. Let’s see if they are enemies first. Let’s go!”
Linley and Bebe immediately, quietly slipped through the underground tunnels, leaving the mountain.
