Boom!!
The intense explosion shook the entire building, sending dust flying into the air. The nearby interstellar pedestrians were startled, staring dumbfounded as thick smoke billowed from the outer walls of the building not far away.
So people knew this was the headquarters of the Purple Crystal Garrison and felt a sense of horror, wondering what kind of fierce individual dared to make a move here.
In a blind spot completely hidden from the crowd's view, the Sun-Hunter Squad stepped out of the smoke and dust, entering the building.
One of them was rapidly operating a Holographic Screen. Various streams of data flickered incessantly, and massive amounts of imagery continuously flashed by.
Finally, the images froze on a single fra, displaying the shocked expressions of General Satan and Kansa.
"Boss, Kansa is indeed here!" he exclaid excitedly.
"Where is he?" Boiling Blood demanded in a muffled, booming voice, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers gradually converging around them.
"The top floor!"
Boiling Blood crossed his four arms, glaring at the surrounding soldiers. "So... will you step aside yourselves, or should I tear you to pieces?"
After a brief mont of dead silence, surging firepower instantly blanketed the Sun-Hunter Squad. Energy bullets danced wildly through the air, the vast majority landing on the leading figures of Boiling Blood and the Troll.
Through the detection systems of the soldiers' Armor helts, the Energy Reaction of the two leaders continuously climbed. The Genes in their bodies relentlessly extracted energy from their Cells until reaching their absolute peak!
Boom!
Boiling Blood moved. His massive body, resembling a small mountain, lunged forward. His four arms extended, and the chanical structures on them expanded like a bulldozer. Under the horrified gazes of the soldiers, he violently plowed out a path.
A large number of soldiers were crushed against the walls. Their Armor clanged and groaned under the pressure, accompanied by endless wails of agony. Blood seeped from the crevices of their suits, making them look like minced at encased in steel shells.
Boiling Blood had ten thousand ways to clear the soldiers in front of him, yet he deliberately chose the most brutal and terrifying thod.
"Handle the rest," Boiling Blood ordered, waving a hand.
The Sun-Hunter Squad sward forward, instantly igniting a chaotic lee. Small skirmishes broke out, scattered across the area. Gunfire and explosions rang out, and the aftershocks of the battle continuously exacerbated the damage to the building. Crackling flas ignited everywhere.
Ti passed quickly. Massive numbers of soldiers lay dead, and absolutely no one could halt the Sun-Hunter Squad's advance.
On the top floor, Satan and Kansa were completely in the dark, entirely ignorant of the situation unfolding outside.
Kansa tried to contact Li Yu but failed. Even though the enemies were two B-Tier Lifeforms, he did not know if Li Yu could fight against them. Sigh...
"Rest assured, the situation here cannot be covered up. My n will arrive shortly," Satan consoled him.
Kansa cast a gloomy glance at him. 'I am just afraid that by the ti your n arrive, we will have already been captured.'
Frowning, he asked, "General Satan, I wonder if you could temporarily hold them off for a while? Once my friend realizes sothing is wrong, he will also rush over."
"Your friend?" Satan shot Kansa a slightly surprised look. "Can he block two B-Tier Lifeforms?"
"Well..." Kansa hesitated. The image of Li Yu flashed through his mind once more. Could he block them?
'He would not abandon , right? After all, these are two B-Tier Lifeforms. Damn it.'
'I miscalculated. If I could think of seeking Satan's help, those people definitely guessed it too.'
'It would have been better to hide my Identity. The Inuit Hub is so massive; they would have had nowhere to even begin their search.'
"Forget it. Follow !" Satan shook his head. Sensing the booming sounds drawing nearer, he grabbed Kansa and sprinted toward his Office.
Stepping into the Office, Satan slid open a control panel and typed in a few characters. The tallic floor rumbled and split open from the center, revealing a massive Armor assembly platform slowly rising. A vast quantity of Armor components were laid out on it, not only nurous but exceedingly bulky.
"Is this the Defender?" Kansa's eyes widened. Looking at Satan with visible excitent, he stamred,
"Your Excellency, are you..."
'Does Satan think he cannot protect , so he is going to let wear this Defender?'
'This is custom-made for general-level commanders, fully capable of facing a B-Tier Lifeform head-on without suffering defeat.'
'As long as I can equip this Armor, I will definitely find a way out of here.'
"That is right..." Satan nodded heavily. Then, under Kansa's thoroughly expectant gaze, the general stepped onto the platform himself.
"I will fight with everything I have to protect you!"
Standing on the assembly platform, Satan allowed the chanical arms to equip his body with countless layers of thick, purple tallic plating.
He transford into a massive purple armored giant, standing around five to six ters tall. The plating was incredibly thick, and even the fragile joints were covered by special overlapping plates.
An Energy Engine roared to life on each of his four limbs, providing the imnse power necessary to support the operation of the colossal Armor.
Staring at this enormous chanical engine of war, Kansa inexplicably felt a surge of security.
However, that sense of security vanished in the very next mont. 'I am not the one wearing it, so where is the security in that?'
'What use is it for Satan to wear it? I should be the one wearing it. I am their target, after all.'
"General Satan... actually..." Kansa began, weighing his words carefully. Unfortunately, Satan never gave him a chance to speak, marching straight out through the specially reinforced doors.
"Damn it..." Kansa cursed under his breath. 'This old geezer Satan is probably playing dumb on purpose. He absolutely has no intention of fighting to the death to protect .'
The space in this area was extrely vast, seemingly designed specifically to accommodate Satan's needs once he equipped the Armor.
The deafening booms were now right next to them. This floor of the building was not particularly elevated, and with the Sun-Hunter Squad's rapid advance, it would not take them long at all.
"The Defender..." Boiling Blood stared with great interest at the Giant Armor standing before him. This was the specific Armor the Athyst Civilization crafted for commanders whose personal Strength was not exceptionally high.
"General Satan, hand over Kansa, and we have no intention of clashing with you." Boiling Blood initiated the exchange verbally, refraining from attacking imdiately.
Satan did not respond right away, nor did he charge forward screaming, "Saster's running dogs!"
Hiding inside the Office, Kansa's expression darkened. This old Bastard talked a good ga, but in the face of true danger, he had absolutely no intention of keeping him safe.
"General, I am willing to give you half! Please, whatever you do, do not abandon !" Kansa suddenly bellowed at the top of his lungs.
Boiling Blood's face instantly sank. Being dispatched by Saster to deal with Kansa ant he naturally held Saster's deep trust, and he was fully aware of the Athyst Core situation.
Kansa's sudden outburst let his imagination run wild. Satan still did not know what was going on, but upon eting Boiling Blood's aggressive, murderous glare, he realized that he had likely been played by Kansa.
Crash! Accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering glass, Kansa smashed directly through the Office window and charged out of the building. The Thrusters on his back spewed scorching flas as he flew off into the distant sky.
"Go... catch him!" Boiling Blood commanded, keeping his own eyes fixed on Satan. The remaining Squad mbers bypassed Satan entirely, and Satan made no move to stop them.
"Your Excellency, I truly did not wish to raise a hand against you, but it seems you have touched sothing you should not have," Boiling Blood said, his voice turning freezing cold.
"What do you an, 'sothing I should not have touched'? That kid was just trying to fra ," Satan quickly explained.
"Perhaps..." Boiling Blood did not seem to care in the slightest. "But what if it is true? Eliminating uncertain factors for the Prince is our solemn duty. I am afraid you will have to suffer a bit."
"Arrogant!" Satan flared with anger. How dare this fellow act as though his victory was already set in stone?
The Thrusters on the back, calves, and soles of his feet activated simultaneously, propelling the Giant Armor forward. Satan thrust both fists out in tandem, the massive steel knuckles carrying a violent gale of wind pressure.
Boiling Blood simply raised his hand. A large cloud of earthen-yellow particles rapidly condensed into a yellow shield.
The steel fists ruthlessly slamd into the yellow shield. The Oscillators housed within the wrists instantly converted the force of the collision into shockwaves that quickly transmitted into the earthen barrier. In the next mont, the yellow shield cracked and violently shattered, reverting into fine dust particles.
Boiling Blood flicked his wrist, looking sowhat surprised. "Not a bad piece of Armor."
"You can go pursue Kansa right now. I absolutely will not stop you," Satan offered, entirely unwilling to prolong this fight.
"However, I much prefer the idea of killing you..." Boiling Blood reached one hand behind his back and unhooked the exaggerated chanical Giant Bow. Simultaneously, his other two arms brandished large-caliber Energy Cannons, aiming directly at Satan and unleashing a barrage of fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosions echoed continuously as Satan pushed forward straight through the artillery fire, waving his arms to directly swat aside the Energy Projectiles that struck him.
Boiling Blood had already drawn the chanical Giant Bow. The weapon boasted an incredibly exaggerated design, and the massive silver fra emitted the distinct whirring of moving machinery. There were even so unique symbolic etchings covering its surface—perhaps purely decorative, or perhaps serving an entirely different, hidden purpose.
A special pitch-black arrow was nocked onto the string. The bowstring wrapped securely around custom-made pulleys, providing imnse torsion, while the entire body of the bow featured continually turning chanical components.
An Energy Engine was deeply embedded into the bow's riser. Its Energy Pathways lit up in an instant, causing the black arrow to beco wreathed in crackling Electric Arcs that slipped through the countless tiny fissures along the shaft.
Satan had almost charged right up to Boiling Blood. His dual fists rhythmically flexed and contracted, allowing the Power Compression Device to continually gather force, fully intending to blast the enemy in front of him away.
In the next instant, Boiling Blood released the taut bowstring. In a flash, a Black Energy Column shot out violently from the chanical Giant Bow, piercing straight through Satan's chest and erupting out of his back.
Satan's raised fists halted completely in mid-air. He was barely a ter away from Boiling Blood, yet those fists would never fall.
Crackle! Pop!
Electric Arcs and sparks violently burst from every corner of the Giant Armor. Within the cockpit, Satan's eyes widened to their limits, as if entirely incapable of comprehending what had just happened.
Boom!
The Giant Armor collapsed straight onto the floor. A perfectly smooth, incredibly thin puncture wound traveled completely through its heavily reinforced chest plate.
Boiling Blood casually tapped his finger against the chanical Giant Bow a couple of tis. A short while later, accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering glass, a black arrow pierced back through the broken window and returned directly to Boiling Blood's hand.
"You were the one spouting nonsense against the Prince at the last eting, were you not?" Boiling Blood sneered, staring down at the fallen Giant Armor with eyes brimming with profound apathy.
...
Five minutes earlier. Kansa shattered the window and leapt out. While in mid-air, he had already activated his Smart Terminal in a desperate bid to seek help.
Unfortunately... he was still well within the range of the signal jamr, rendering his Smart Terminal completely incapable of sending out any ssages.
The persistent sound of shattering glass echoed closely behind him. An expression of deep anxiety painted his face as the Thrusters on his back forcefully carried him far away into the distance.
There were plenty of single-person Flying Vehicles navigating the mid-air lanes, all traveling along predetermined flight paths. Despite their sheer numbers, the system prevented any mid-air collisions.
However, the sudden, violent intrusion of several unknown flying objects completely baffled the lane-tracking artificial intelligence. A single minor miscalculation quickly triggered a cascading series of multi-vehicle pileups, causing a vast number of personal Flying Vehicles to explode mid-air.
The shockwaves of the battle had already begun to spread. The zone of destruction expanded rapidly, prompting pedestrians and curious onlookers to flee frantically from the area.
"We apologize... the owner is currently busy and cannot answer the call at this mont."
The mont his Smart Terminal regained a signal, Kansa hastily tried to contact Li Yu. Yet, hearing the automated voice coming from the device, his face went completely blank.
"Damn it!"
'Are you seriously scared off by just two B-Tier Lifeforms? Hurry up and co save !'
Thud!
A heavy impact struck his back, and thick black smoke imdiately began pouring from his Thrusters. It seed he had been shot down. Kansa completely lost his balance and plumted straight toward the Ground.
His chanical suit slamd violently into the ground, grinding against the surface and throwing up showers of electric sparks. The sheer Impact of the free fall forced Kansa into a series of wild rolls, knocking away a swath of innocent bystanders before he finally managed to skid to a halt.
He struggled to get back to his feet just as five mbers of the Sun-Hunter Squad slowly descended from the sky.
The Athyst Security Force had been on high alert and imdiately mobilized upon receiving the notification. A large number of Flying Vehicles were rapidly converging on the area. Several Small Energy Missiles locked onto the rcenaries and were fired, but the Sun-Hunter Squad casually intercepted all of them in mid-air.
"Just surrender. You have absolutely no chance left," the Troll sneered, looking down at Kansa from a short distance away. The remaining four mbers of the Sun-Hunter Squad cautiously advanced toward Kansa's position.
His faceplate retracted to reveal Kansa's grim expression. He scanned his surroundings; there was hardly anyone nearby, as the entire crowd had successfully evacuated due to the recent fighting.
That was exactly why those Flying Vehicles dared to fire Small Energy Missiles directly at this location.
"This is the Athyst Security Force! Please drop your Weapons and surrender imdiately, or we will continue our assault!"
"This is the Athyst Security Force! Please drop your Weapons and surrender imdiately, or we will continue our assault!"
The Flying Vehicles hovering in the sky continuously broadcasted their stern warnings, completely surrounding the group.
Kansa made no sudden movents as the four mbers of the Sun-Hunter Squad steadily closed the distance.
Suddenly, Kansa sprang into action. The four enemies imdiately went on high alert, activating their Armor's energy Shields, yet the anticipated attack never ca.
Instead, Kansa raised his hands toward the sky. Gun barrels extended from his gauntlets, and he fired two Energy Cannons directly at the hovering Flying Vehicles.
Boom!!
Two Flying Vehicles imdiately exploded into dazzling fireworks. And this act served as a clear signal—the signal to comnce a full-scale offensive.
Hundreds of Flying Vehicles instantly opened fire. Electric Arcs flew through the air in a frenzy, and missiles howled as they rained down. Billowing smoke and dust aggressively swept in every direction.
"You are courting death!" A chilling gleam flashed across the Troll's eyes. He slamd both of his arms into the Earth. Searing Magma flowed from his left hand, while freezing mist poured out from his right.
In the blink of an eye, the two extres blanketed a massive stretch of the Ground. Then, two enormous hands—one made entirely of flowing Magma and the other of biting ice—erupted from the surface. They stretched over a hundred ters into the sky, continuously dripping lava and shards of ice.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The faces of the soldiers piloting the Flying Vehicles paled in terror. They directed a ferocious barrage of attacks at the colossal hands, but it was to no avail.
Even when massive craters were blasted into the palms, the elental material rapidly surged back to nd the damage in re monts.
The two gigantic elental hands aggressively closed in on the thickest clusters of Flying Vehicles. Despite their overwhelming size, their movent speed was far from sluggish.
With so many Flying Vehicles densely packed in the vicinity, the terrifying sight of the approaching elental hands sent all the pilots into a desperate scramble to escape. In their panic, they inevitably triggered a massive chain reaction of devastating collisions.
Rumble!
The two giant elental hands slamd together completely. The scorching Magma and freezing mist clashed violently, producing an endless stream of loud sizzling sounds as thick clouds of steam erupted into the air.
Countless Flying Vehicles were rcilessly crushed and detonated between the twin giant palms. Magma splattered everywhere, and biting cold energy overflowed. Even though a portion of the fleet managed to dodge out of the way in ti, a substantial majority was entirely wiped out.
Massive quantities of shredded flesh and tallic wreckage froze together into a macabre amalgamation, rendering them nearly indistinguishable from one another.
"Damn it!" Kansa's pupils contracted violently as he unleashed another furious curse.
'Li Yu, if you do not get your ass over here right now, I am definitely going to be captured!'
