Chapter 1271: The Oracle’s Goal, the Great Prodigal System!

Since these three powerful people were waiting here at this time, they had to be three of the eighteen top operatives from the Dimensional War Inspectorate previously mentioned by Lei Zhe. They were all at the pinnacle of Astral-level, especially the one who had attacked. He was one of the top five among the eighteen top operatives and was extremely powerful!

At this moment, the prison guards on this Prison Star had already been alerted by the activity in this area. People hid at a safe range and watched. As they watched, they whispered, “It’s the top operative, Lord Beruca. He’s here personally, it’s going to be a good show!” “Hong Dali might have more people on his side, but just one Lord Beruca is probably enough to exterminate his entire team.”

Everyone knew that this war would be cruelly magnificent. A battle between people who were at the pinnacle of Astral-level was not something ordinary people could interfere in.

“Hahahaha, Hong Dali, surrender quickly. You will suffer less!” Beruca laughed at Hong Dali hostilely. “If you dare resist, your outcome will be even more miserable!”

As he spoke, he threw a series of punches at Hong Dali.

The punches became increasingly stronger. Crackling noises could even be heard from the joints in his body. They sounded like thousands of foot soldiers and horses in a roaring charge.

Everyone watching the battle from a distance looked at the combat strength indicator and exclaimed—

“30 million combat power!” “40 million combat power!” “60 million combat power!” “80 million combat power!”

In the end, Beruca’s combat power increased up to almost 100 million before it finally stopped.

At this time, his aura was overwhelming. No one had imagined that he would be so powerful! He was indeed worthy of being one of the top operatives under the Oracle. His strength was beyond their ability to comprehend! Even Hong Dali was obviously not his match.

A master at the pinnacle of the Astral-level. Even the chief of the Hong Family, Hong Xingyu, usually had a maximum combat strength of only about 30 million, at most 40 million. Beruca had 100 million combat power. That was explosive!

With his overwhelming might, Beruca was indeed able to wipe out Hong Dali’s entire team.

Those watching could see that Beruca was obviously like an old experienced cat while Hong Dali was like a little mouse. The disparity between their strengths was huge—even if Hong Dali transformed into the Star Knight, he might still not be Beruca’s match.

However, since Hong Dali dared to come, he was obviously prepared.

“Get ready!” This was the only thing Hong Dali shouted. The main fighters such as Levis, Li Yang, and the others immediately separated from the team and headed towards the other two men who were here with Beruca. Levis, Li Yang, and the others were responsible for dealing with the man on the left-hand side. Gu Feifei was the strongest and was responsible for dealing with the one on the right.

While everyone’s attention was on them, in the midst of Hong Dali’s team, a very inconspicuous little stone fell to the ground.

While the two sides were fighting, no one noticed when this little stone fell to the ground.

In actual fact, this little stone was Cutie Ke under transformation!

This was also the most critical part of Hong Dali’s rescue plan. Before coming, Hong Dali had predicted that someone would definitely be here to intercept them. It was absolutely impossible to rescue the strongest prisoners held in the seventh-level prison area. So, the best way was to have Hong Dali and the others distract the top operatives while Cutie Ke sneaked into the prison to find a way to rescue their people. With Cutie Ke’s Transformation Soul Stone, this was the most feasible plan.

Now, what Hong Dali needed to do was to stall for as much time as possible!

“Second Gear!” Hong Dali gritted his teeth. Anyway, he now had enough attribute points to transform many times. He didn’t have to hold back. He immediately went up against Beruca using his maximum fighting power!

“Good. Hong Dali, if you did not have a certain amount of skill, with my status and position, I would feel bad using my full power.” Beruca looked at Hong Dali, whose battle ability had suddenly increased explosively, and nodded. “Sir Oracle has personally told me to arrest you. I suppose it’s impossible that you don’t have a certain amount of skill. Regardless, it seems you won’t be able to escape today, hahaha!”

“What nonsense!” Hong Dali ignored him completely. Energy burst forth from him. All the golden light that surrounded him was absorbed into his body and directed in a concentrated ray with a speed the naked eye was unable to discern at Beruca’s brows.

“Hehe, this is kind of interesting. I’ll play with you for a while today.” Beruca smiled, but his body did not stay still. He retreated like a ghost and Hong Dali’s lightning-fast strike did not graze even a corner of his clothing. He was indeed a top operative and definitely not ordinary.

In the space of four to five flashes, Hong Dali’s attack had already weakened. Beruca casually reached out and caught Hong Dali’s fist in his hand. If he exerted more force, he could rip Hong Dali’s entire arm off. At this moment, a piercing scream rang out. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thunder rolled. It was Lucifer, who used his ability to change the weather for tens of kilometers around them.

Elemental Affinity, Elemental Shock!

At this critical moment, Hong Dali’s passive skills activated and his attributes increased sharply. He spun and immediately escaped from Beruca’s clutch, saving his arm.

“Oh, hehehehe. Interesting.” Beruca was not surprised, but happy instead. He laughed. “It seems that Sir Oracle is right, you are really the Devil’s Chosen One. Your skill is called Elemental Affinity, right? I was worried about getting the wrong guy, but it looks like there’s no problem!”

He knew of Elemental Affinity and Elemental Shock! Hong Dali was shaken. He instantly understood why the Oracle was insistent in seizing him!

He was here for the Great Prodigal System!

The Great Prodigal System was created by a powerful being who had powers similar to that of the Universe Devil. It somehow ended up within him. Originally, it was nothing of interest to anyone, but he became more and more powerful. It was inevitable that the Oracle of this dimension would discover his secret. If he thought about it, the Oracle would not have acted so aggressively if it was not necessary.

“Hehe, you’re right.” Hong Dali sneered. “Whether you manage to catch me will depend on your ability!”

“Hahahaha, we’ll know whether or not I have the ability once we try it out, right?!” Beruca threw his head back and laughed. Incessantly, burning purple flames erupted around his body! The flames were not as hot as one would imagine. Instead, it was bone-chilling cold!

“It’s the Purple Core Ice Flame!” The prison guards who recognized it hurriedly retreated out of range. “Everyone, move back! Master Beruca is using his ability!”
