Chapter 1 Pushing Forward

Pong Pei lit a cigar. As the commander at the highest level, he and Markum were pessimistic about the battle situation. Li Hao and the others had a chance, but not a big one. It wasn't about Nangong Yuhang; based on the power Li Hao had demonstrated and the weapons he had prepared, there was a certain probability of destroying the base. However, they knew too little about the creature hidden behind it. The inferred data had huge variables. They needed to consider the optimistic situation, that Li Hao and the others would destroy the enemy, but also the possibility of failure.

If they failed, it would be impossible to withdraw from the battlefield. The entire expeditionary force had already been thrown in, and it would be too difficult to retreat. Moreover, such a heavy price would mean that humanity's space power would not be able to recover in a short period of time. Warships and mecha were secondary; if the entire solar system was mobilized for production, they could be replenished within a certain period. However, those participating in the expedition were elite human warriors, and it would take too long to cultivate a new force. He couldn't leave the difficulties to those who came later. As long as there was a problem with the battle, Kepler Planet would have to be destroyed.

Any fluke was gambling with the fate of all mankind, and no one could afford to gamble.

Wu Fa nodded. He was more optimistic about Li Hao than Markum and Pong Pei, but this was a subjective concept. From a rational point of view and based on the information he had, his view was consistent with Markum and Pong Pei. It was just that interstellar weapons were a last resort, a taboo for any life form, because it was complete destruction.

The people sitting in the transport ship couldn't help in any way. They just felt the violent shaking of the ship, the surrounding artillery fire, and the giant insects' unique, sharp howls. The temperature of the ship rose, and like a huge fireball, it had already entered Kepler Planet. Gravity pulled the ship down rapidly.

When it descended to eight thousand meters, the transport ship separated from the frigate and began to accelerate its dive, while other warships were responsible for covering the rear in the air. The five battle teams flew to their designated coordinates separately. Humanity's first step of the operation had succeeded.

"Everyone, good luck!" Li Hao said, opening the mecha's public channel.

"Second Brother, we'll see you again in victory!"

"Brother Li, good luck!"

"Brothers, let's do it. It's time for us to create history!"

"Haha, good luck, brothers. Come back alive, and I'll treat you to my girlfriend's concert!"

The mecha engines started, and the roar echoed through the transport compartment. As the altitude decreased, some low-flying giant insects had already begun to move. The transport aircraft would airdrop everyone at a certain altitude while diverting the flying giant insects. This mission couldn't get bogged down in a protracted battle. They couldn't predict the number of giant insects on the ground, and they also lacked supplies. The goal of the mission was only one: to destroy the base at all costs.

One mobile suit after another descended from the sky.

The transport plane where Li Hao was located was also about to airdrop when suddenly the transport plane shook violently, and a piercing alarm sounded. Standing on the transport plane was a "person."

Romero had arrived.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Romero punched the ship one after another, directly tearing open the outer shell of the ship.

"Tita, I'll go take care of him. You lead the team. Don't rush into action. Wait for me."

Tita led the mobile suits of the first battle team and jumped down one after another, while Li Hao's Black Night Saber had already flown out directly. Only his Golden Zone could maintain high-altitude combat for a long time.

Romero, who was wreaking havoc, stopped after seeing Li Hao. There was no resentment between the two. From the beginning, Romero had never hated anyone. He was a warrior, craving the strongest power and the best opponent, and now he had both.

Without a word, Romero's body shook, and terrifying power swept out. Also a Worm God General, Fan Viliet and others were completely incomparable to him. Romero's determination and will were maximized during the transformation process. In terms of soul talent, Romero was a leader in the Apocalypse. The human body hindered him, but now this obstacle no longer existed. Similarly, during the transformation process, his absorption of divine power was also maximized.

Boom...

In a flash, he punched the Black Night fighter hundreds of meters away. With a flash of red light on his body, he immediately pursued. The Blood Moon was unsheathed, and a series of explosions sounded in mid-air. The powerful Golden Zones of the two also attracted many giant insects to surround them. The human soul was also a strong attraction to giant insects, especially a high-level soul like Li Hao's.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Romero's body was the real Overlord Body, and at the same time, the Golden Zone was completely released. The fighting style of overdrafting vitality was the same as the current extraction of ki23 crystals, except that it would no longer cause irreversible damage to the body. He had gained the freedom to fight.

Romero bombarded the Black Night fighter wildly. Li Hao's Black Night fighter was in full defense, adapting to this new combat rhythm, and he could sense a pair of eyes staring at him.

In Base No. 1, Nangong Yuhang was appreciating the battle. Everything was going according to plan. Romero was the Worm God General closest to him, and he had put his heart into Romero, so he had to unlock Li Hao's secret. Whether Li Hao killed Romero or Romero killed Li Hao, it was valuable experience for him. Of course, it would be even better if he could capture Li Hao alive. He would not miss this opportunity if he had it. If he could transform Li Hao and replicate a batch, haha, how interesting this world would become!

Romero's flame ability was the most special heat energy time expansion. The k23 crystal used for Romero was of the highest purity. The giant insects had been mining for so many years, and they were not short of resources at all. Including a large number of new giant insects in space, they relied on the energy output of k23 crystals. Otherwise, they would really be crushed by the human fleet technology, but now it was hard to say who would win. The fake eye on Romero's forehead was his gift. To deal with Li Hao, he always had to use something ruthless. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have allowed Nimer's core power to be copied to a second person.

He needed a sample. Li Hao's existence made him too fearful. From the perspective of the battle, Li Hao was a little disappointing. The situation of crushing Fan Viliet did not reappear. Fan Viliet's talent was not bad, but his performance was too mediocre, and his brain was not very useful. He was afraid of death. How could the human Overlord Body compare with the Worm God General's Overlord Body? This was what Nangong Yuhang had always refused to believe.

Groups of giant insects were attracted by Li Hao's powerful soul power, and even some large aerial giant insects that were blocking transport ships were attracted. This overwhelming situation aroused Romero's anger. Why was he reincarnated? Why did he become a monster? The only requirement was to have a chance to fight Li Hao with all his strength. Nothing else mattered.

"Get out!"

Roar~~~~~~~~~

Super-explosive infrasound waves exploded in the air. Some weak giant insects were directly turned into a cloud of blood, and the large giant insects were also knocked down one by one by the Worm God General's level plus critical strike. Romero was still not relieved. Flames burned in both hands, and with a sudden spin, a fire dragon roared out, and the lava spewed by the fire god directly swept away all the giant insects that were still eager to try.

"Li Hao, now it's clean. No one can interfere with a one-on-one!" Romero said. Using such power in the past would consume most of his body, but now it was as natural as breathing.

"Why bother?" Li Hao stabilized the Black Night fighter. If it weren't for the protection of his own Golden Zone, the mecha would have collapsed long ago. The current mecha system could no longer keep up with the combat rhythm, and the new mecha developed by the Morpheus family had major defects. The Morpheus extraordinary system was a big pit, which made it impossible for this expedition to adapt to the new mecha. The worst thing was that because all the attention was on how to steal the Morpheus extraordinary system or study and crack this system, the Alliance did not have its own research and development. There was no way to do it before the expedition. If there were super mecha, the success rate of this airdrop plan would be higher. Not only him, but Maxis and others would also face the same situation.

Fortunately, there was only one Romero. If there were a few more, this air raid plan would be a joke.

"Li Hao, don't try to persuade me. It will only make me look down on you. This is my own choice. Show me all your strength!" Romero said in a deep voice, "If I die, I will be freed, but if you die, it will also be my salvation. From now on, I will have nothing to do with humans!"

Romero had never been an indecisive person. He was ruthless to others and ruthless to himself. His goals were clear, and he kept moving forward.

Li Hao watched Tita and the others disappear from sight and felt relieved. It was necessary to solve Romero. Now, the other party's mobility was impossible to get rid of. It could be seen that Romero's attention was all on dueling with him and did not care about anything else, but on the other hand, it also showed that Nangong Yuhang should be prepared. He needed to hurry.

"Let me see how strong the power you exchanged for sacrificing your dignity is!"

"Haha, good, this is the Li Demon I know, but it's useless to just talk!" Romero's voice paused, and he attacked instantly. A violent punch hit the Black Night fighter. The Blood Moon long knife of the Black Night Saber instantly conjured up a sky full of knife shadows, trying to stop Romero, but Romero's body swayed in the Blood Moon. No matter the speed or frequency, he could keep up completely. What was even more terrifying was that his ability could slow down the lightning-fast swordsmanship with a slight activation.

Whoosh...

Romero stopped on the tip of the Blood Moon's knife, quietly looking at Li Hao, "Show me your power. I don't even want to fight back like this. If you can't beat me, you won't see Nangong Yuhang."

Boom, boom, boom...

Thunder in the clear sky, the space vibrated, and mental bursts bombarded Romero. The top-level mental skill that once crushed everyone only shook Romero's head a little.

Romero frowned, and the compound eyes on his forehead glowed, and suddenly there was a muffled sound.

Boom...

The Black Night Saber was like being hit by a heavy hammer. Li Hao's expression in the cockpit changed immediately. Romero punched over, and the scabbard of the Black Night fighter swung, taking the punch head-on. Romero's eyes burned, and he let out a low roar.

Break~!

(Dear friends, the Kepler War will not be very long. It mainly explains Theseus, Nangong Yuhang, and Romero, and then the new chapter will come from the source of Bleem. On the first day of April, please support the first guaranteed monthly ticket, thank you!!!)
