Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 567: Chapter 503: Stirring Trouble Chapter 567: Chapter 503: Stirring Trouble “There’s no reply whatsoever, even the ninjas are uncontactable,” said the soldier with visible anxiety.

Baron Harkonnen was known for his cruelty, with his two nephews’ brutality being a direct result of his grooming.

Even as a veteran of the Harkonnen Family, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

“Humph, just when they’re needed most, they fail.

As expected, they’re worthless.”

Baron Harkonnen’s expression turned somewhat dark.

Had he not been trapped by strategic deception and left without a son, he wouldn’t have needed to groom the two useless creatures of his brother.

Raban, the one who had slain his own beloved brother, really lacked ability and had to be ransomed back before.

And now, Fide, the one he had high hopes for, had also failed him in a critical moment.

“Have Raban deal with them.”

In Baron Harkonnen’s opinion, this must be the Foreman’s feint, a strategic move to draw attention away.

The force led by the ninjas and Fide might not be in trouble; they simply couldn’t return quickly.

Relying on the current terrain advantage, even if sandworms were to attack…

Boom~

This caused Baron Harkonnen to be unable to remain seated.

He started to control himself, floating upwards toward the gap in his court that allowed him a direct view of the outside.

The ghostly Pioneer also floated upwards, continuing to emit a raspy voice,

“My lord Baron, it appears you are in trouble, perhaps I can offer some assistance.”

Upon hearing this, Baron Harkonnen did not refuse.

Indeed, Fide had taken many of the elite with him, and the number of Holtzman Shields they had was still limited.

“What use can one person be?”

Baron Harkonnen asked rapidly as he floated upward.

“This,” said the Pioneer, “is the ability of us Pioneers.

I also have companions nearby…”

As both ascended, they reached the palace’s topmost skylight and saw the source of the vibration outside.

The barriers around the Harkonnen Family estate, once resembling mountain ranges, were being hammered by several hundred-meter-long sandworms!

The sandworms’ mouthparts, like massive grinders, kept on rotating, cutting large chunks off the mountains and wrapping around them!

Chunks of rock fell, and boulders shattered and sprayed in all directions.

Massive stones, weighing tens of tons, rolled to the ground, creating deep craters with each impact, causing continuous tremors across the land.

The sandworms’ hundred-meter-long forms were like soft skyscrapers lain flat—majestic and menacing.

Now, they seemed to slice through the mountains as easily as eels burrowing through tofu.

The soldiers of the Harkonnen Family had no effective means to respond.

When a creature is ‘big’ to a certain extent, the situation becomes almost unsolvable.

A single ordinary charge was incredibly striking.

Even a slight brush from a large truck could turn a pedestrian into a mosaic, let alone such colossal creatures.

“How can this be?

Why would the sandworms do this?

Can they control the sandworms to such an extent?”

Baron Harkonnen found the scene before him hard to believe.

The ninjas had indeed been attempting to tame the sandworms, but progress had been slow.

The Foreman could only manipulate the scales on the sandworms’ surface with reins to a certain extent.

Most of the time, sandworms were a double-edged sword to them.

If the Foreman had the ability to control the sandworms to this extent consistently, the Harkonnen Family would long since have encountered trouble!

Even the ghostly Pioneer, who had been boasting earlier, stiffened at the sight outside.

“We do have means to deal with these sandworms, although, my lord Baron, you’ll have to sign a contract first.”

He spoke with a measure of gravity in his voice.

To deal with creatures of such magnitude might leave traces difficult to conceal, possibly exposing their identities.

Therefore, they had to wait for Baron Harkonnen to be fully on board before considering it!

“Once I sign, that’s it.

If you have any tricks, use them quickly; they’re about to tear the mountain down!”

Baron Harkonnen had been tempted from the beginning, and now he naturally wrote his name without a second word.

He even suspected that this might be a ploy by the Pioneers themselves, just to force him to sign.

But in the current situation, he also had no choice but to sign.

He still had some additional measures at his disposal, but the damage caused by those measures wouldn’t be any less than that caused by the sandworms.

If he allowed these sandworms to charge in, the entire Harkonnen Family domain would be destroyed in an instant!

“A wise decision.”

The ghostly figure chuckled lightly.

Then it took the initiative to float out and hurried towards the mountain that was about to collapse.

Watching the furrows plowed into the mountain and the exposed rock bodies, the figure seemed to emit a crisp hum.

It was as if it were singing a beautiful melody, with the notes getting higher and higher.

Even when the outside was shaking violently from the collapse of the mountain and from the loud noise of rampaging sandworms.

The melody hummed by the figure seemed to completely ignore these noises and reached everyone’s ears.

The previously panicked Harkonnen soldiers seemed to calm down immediately.

Even Baron Harkonnen felt a decrease in his inner irritability, which surprised him as well.

Was this some kind of soothing ability?@@novelbin@@

Indeed, the several irate giant sandworms seemed to be influenced by the song as well, beginning to cease their destruction.

Though they were still restlessly writhing their massive bodies, causing huge rocks to scatter nearby,

their movements had become much smaller compared to before, as if they were soothed.

And just as the giant sandworms, coiled on the mountain and stopping their motions as if listening quietly to the melody,

suddenly, a giant light blade appeared out of nowhere.

The tens of meters-long blazing white light blade aimed at the heads of the sandworms, seizing the fixed target opportunity while they had stopped moving, and directly completed the piercing!

Pu-chi~

The massive puncture wound was too much for even the sandworms to resist, causing them to twist madly and trigger a tremor in the mountain!

Now the disadvantage of the size of the sandworms became evident.

Though massive, their reaction speeds were indeed much slower.

After being soothed by the song and being somewhat dizzy, even when their kin were being killed right beside them, they couldn’t react right away.

Then the second, the third!

The sweeping giant light blade, coupled with that agile figure, left the sandworms’ clumsy bodies with no chance to avoid.

A casual slash resulted in a massive wound.

Rocks and blue plasma splattered, staining the mountain in a manner akin to paint.

“All brawn and no brains, it turns out they’re not that hard to deal with.”

The figure with dexterity, who released the tens of meters-long giant light blade to slay the sandworms,

continued to leap and dodge fluidly.

After killing the sandworms controlled by the song, it seemed to emit a slightly disdainful tone.

On their own, the sandworms’ bulk and strength were extremely formidable, strong enough that even World Breakers would avoid their sharp edges.

My own strength was far from sufficient.

If I took a direct hit, I would die!

Yet, possessing mere brute force without the ability to use it efficiently, they could be so easily killed by coordination between myself and my comrades!

“The sandworm’s skills are useless, but pure Yuan Force absorption is still a good ten thousand.

Given their size, it should be more…”

The figure, agile in slaying the sandworms, began to move across the corpses and reached out to pluck the Yuan Force scales that gathered after death.

However, just as he had finished collecting the scales from five sandworms and was preparing to jump down, he suddenly realized that drops of ink-like black droplets had appeared all around him, unbeknownst to him.

This is bad…

Before he could react any further, a black shadow flashed across as he leapt into mid-air.

Pu-chi~

The whole person was split in two by the vertical swipe of the black shadow, which then rolled up his body and the scales, disappearing without a trace.

“Killing my pets, isn’t that a bit too disrespectful to me…”
