When Lin Shen built his base of operations, he added a protocol he hoped he would not use and that protocol was Protocol Invasion. He added it as a cautionary measure just in case he would be found in the future and now, he needed to activate it prematurely because the Tang sect was attacking.
The bases speakers blared not only inside but also to the outside of the mountain hidden turrets revealed themselves and started firing at the Tang sect forces missile silos opened up and launched Qi powered missiles towards the Nascent Soul elders.
Lin Shen immediately activated Exosuit MK2 and stepped out hovering in front of the mountain unlike MK1, MK2 could was meant for fighting higher level enemies he could've brought the ARCHON but the ARCHON was currently being activated so right now he needed every single bit of time he could get.
"Tang Sect" He said his voice amplified by Qi "You have entered my territory with hostile intent leave now or face the consequences"
The Nascent soul elders turned towards him their projections turning along with them.
The one in the middle was the tallest and spoke first I am "Sun Chen current leader of the Tang sect we will not leave until we found my daughter"
"SHUT UP OLD MAN" said Lin Shen "I WOULD HAVE TOLERATED IT IF YOU HAD JUST CAME TO LOOK FOR HER. YET I SEE YOU DESTROYING MY TERRITORY. WHICH REALLY PISSES ME OFF SO UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR TANG SECT TO BE SEN INTO OBLIVION GO AHEAD AND DESTROY MORE. BUT IF YOU RETREAT NOW, I WILL LET YOU OFF AND GIVE YOUR DAUGHTER BACK."
Everyone froze even the turrets and the missile silos seemed to stop firing for a moment.
Then
"HOW DARE YOU RETURN MY DAUGHTER AT ONCE." Said Sun Chen
"WHAT, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO LEVEL THE VALLEY" said Lin Shen irritating him on purpose.
The sect leader lunged at him and Lin Shen slashed at the nascent sou projection Carnage roaring like a hungry tiger.
Another elder tried to punch him from the side. But Lin Shen blocked it with Athens.
Then Lin Shen spread exosuits metallic wings its thrusters pulling him upward breaking free from them.
The third elder followed Lin Shen through the air like a hawk.
But Lin Shen activated his afterburners disappearing from in front of the elder.
Before reappearing on top of him bashing Athens in to his back.
The fourth and fifth elders tried to destroy the mountain. But the base's shields flickered to life Qi barriers and suppression formations met the elders head on their nascent soul formations flickered for a moment before disappearing completely and both elders hit the ground hard unconscious.
The two remaining elders and sect leader fought against Lin Shen.
Metall against Qi.
Core formation against Nascent Soul.
The disciples tried to disable the turrets and silos with bombs but even that failed as the turrets and silos were blast resistant.
The disciple's fight against his base went in his favor but the fight against the sect leader did not.
Lin Shen manages the cut off the arm of the nascent soul of one elder damaging the elder's soul directly but carnage shattered. He also manages to exhaust another elder to the point where the Nascent soul disappeared not from damage but from Qi induced exhaustion but in return Athens broke in half.
He and the leader fought with fist against metal.
Soul Projection against innovation.
But Lin Shen was losing because his armor was damaged half his face sticking out from when the previous elder managed to land a clean strike on his face wires were sticking out sparks flying all over.
"Give up or die," said the leader but
Lin Shen was stubborn "no why would I give up to somebody who obviously weaker than me"
This enraged the sect leader as he lunged forward hitting Lin Shen square in the chest.
Just before the strike landed Lin Shen immediately ejected the armor took the impact before it flew towards the mountain.
Then the waterfall split
Lin Shen Said "Finally it is ready"
Then he turned towards the sect leader "Leave now or perish"
Then something came out of the water fall it was exosuit MK1
But behind it was what made the elders breath catch it was the ARCHON but it looked different.
Lin Shen then put on EXOSUIT MK1
"Time for round 2" said Lin Shen as he put on the EXOSUIT MK1
