“Nangong Yuhang has perfectly taken over the body of Hirian, achieving the first step of soul transfer. The second step is physical strength. Nangong Yuhang thinks he is realizing his ambition, but he doesn't know that what he considers freedom has been completely controlled by the other party subconsciously. Nangong Yuhang is not the only one; it has happened many times in human history. We investigated the files, and they all mentioned a common name,” Jing Rui paused, “and in the archeological discoveries of the Nemea civilization ruins, we obtained the same name – Theseus.”

“The name of the fifty-ninth king of the Nemea civilization's胧月 (Long Yue) era, also the last king. It is said that this person possessed the most special soul, capable of breaking through the limits of soul compatibility. All aspects fit our deduction.”

“War itself has no meaning to him. He is using the stimulation of war to create a new species, a new species that combines the genes of giant insects, humans, and the soul state of the Nemea, in order to bear his soul.”

Giant insects should be primitive creatures of Kepler, but although they seem low-level, they possess strong life resilience. From a structural point of view, they are more suitable for survival in the universe than humans. It is very likely that the giant insect plan was also controlled by this Theseus. Another characteristic of giant insects is that they are particularly suitable for soul containment. Creatures without souls are the best carriers, but obviously, no matter how giant insects evolve, no matter how strong their physique becomes, they are not enough to bear such a huge soul. Moreover, silicon-based life has another problem: it collapses inexplicably after carrying it for a period of time.

“Logically speaking, it shouldn't have any impact, but it's as if the universe has its own set of laws, not allowing the existence of such creatures with powerful souls and infinite bodies. Parasitism leads to natural collapse after a while, either the soul is destroyed, or the body is destroyed.”

Experts in the group constantly explained that the Alliance had actually been secretly conducting in-depth research for a long time, but it was too appalling and violated ethics, even causing the moral order that humans rely on to collapse. Therefore, it was also a top secret. This direction of becoming a "god" is irresistible to any life form, especially those in high positions.

“Until approaching Kepler, and recently being attacked, we concluded that Theseus launched this war with the purpose of evolving a body suitable for him.”

“Yes, what puts us in a dilemma is that if we don't fight, the awakened him may expand the battlefield to the solar system, so we still have to fight.”

Markham interrupted the scientists' enthusiasm. Professional people have their own ways of fighting the war. “The key to this war is to eliminate Theseus, otherwise it will be endless.”

Although the giant insect race is large and tenacious, it is not the key factor threatening humans. The goal of this expedition has been clearly defined as eliminating Theseus, a previous civilization that interfered with humans and attempted to control them.

Five modified human images appeared on the big screen, followed by dissection diagrams. “Through the collection of fragments from the first round of the battlefield, we can basically confirm that they possess a biochemical silicon-based shell, which is of the same origin as the giant insects. The crystal on their chest is K23, which means K23 is a substance that is compatible with life forms. In this aspect of utilization, they are more advanced. The bulge on their forehead is very similar to the situation of the Nemea. Once Nangong Yuhang completes the experiment, the real disaster will come.”

“The next time these five people appear, they must be destroyed!” Wu Fa said. “They cannot be allowed to continue accumulating evolution.”

This is the more urgent step at present.

Everyone looked at Li Hao. As the champion of the S-League and the strongest known Gold Zone expert, he should have the most say.

Li Hao digested this information, which almost confirmed his conjecture, except that the Alliance had more accurate information and technology in its hands, and was even conducting research.

“Judging from the intensity alone, their Gold Zone is basically close to or even surpasses the power of my battle with Hirian. In terms of lethality, the individual performance is even stronger. In addition, in terms of physical endurance, it has far exceeded our warriors,” Li Hao said. "Equivalent to a Bati (overlord body)."

The definition of Bati (overlord body) was born after the Liuxin martial arts. The power of human warriors needs a Bati (overlord body) to maximize the Liuxin martial arts. Of course, mecha are still needed, but these reincarnated people have already surpassed this power in a short period of time.

If reincarnations are mass-produced, coupled with that kind of flexibility, it will cause huge damage to the human fleet, especially the ordinary mobile suits that attack the command ship cannot resist.

“Li Hao, how many people do you need to eliminate them?” Pang Pai suddenly asked. These monsters know the structure of human warships too well. Their individual abilities run rampant in space. They can't be caught up with or caught. Sticking to the warships makes many heavy weapons hesitate. It's very troublesome. “Not one can be let go, so that we can carry out the next combat deployment.”

“Commander, after releasing them, you must immediately cut off their way back. As long as they can't go back, I am confident that I can keep them all!” Li Hao said.

Markham, Wu Fa, and Pang Pai exchanged glances. “Li Hao, are you aware that this is not a joke? Any slight mistake will cause immeasurable damage to the fleet.”

“Report, I am confident!” Li Hao said.

Markham and the others really had no choice. This is an unequal war. The other party's reincarnated people have surpassed their conventional response methods in terms of individual strength and mobility. If the reincarnated people cannot be resolved, his only method is to destroy Kepler at any cost. It is impossible to let Theseus complete this experiment anyway.

“Ahem, second brother, can you catch one alive?” Jerris suddenly asked. “Jerris, this is war. Satisfying curiosity alone will cause a lot of casualties,” Wu Fa said.

“Commander, it's not like that. Since they were created by Theseus, we can use the technology of the Nemea civilization to extract some useful information, and at the same time understand the structure and weaknesses of the reincarnated people. Of course, the premise is that there is such a possibility,” Jerris said a little embarrassed.

A group of scientists' eyes were full of desire. This kind of supernatural biological weapon represents and contains too many things. They really wanted to get one alive, even half-dead. Once they died, a lot of things about the soul would disappear, and that was the most critical thing.

“Yes, if we have a living one, we can extract information related to Theseus from his soul fragments. We judge that Theseus must be the key to the survival of this composite creature, and also the core of Theseus's desire to carry out soul transfer.”

There are too many unsolved mysteries in this.

Everyone looked at Li Hao.

“There is a certain possibility, but it cannot be guaranteed. It depends on the battle situation. If there is a chance, I will definitely capture one alive,” Li Hao said.

“Very good, Li Hao, you will be fully responsible for and command this mission. All major fleets will cooperate. Whatever you want in terms of people and weapons, you can have!” Markham said.

The three of them had actually discussed whether Li Hao was reliable. They were also worried that Li Hao had not seen a "big scene" because the height of his understanding might lead to wrong judgments, but after analyzing it, Li Hao probably really has different abilities. He is definitely not someone who talks nonsense.

“Yes, Commander!” Li Hao stood at attention and saluted. It was time for a head-on battle.

Li Hao immediately summoned all the members of the Hunters. He himself could deal with one, leaving four others. Especially these four reincarnated people's mobility in space has exceeded that of mecha. There is also a problem, that is, once the other party is injured, they will retreat. Once they are shaken off in the vast space, it will be difficult to track them down again.

At this time, in Kepler Base No. 1.

After eating and replenishing K23 elements, the crystal on their chest became more crystal clear. At the same time, the injured body had also recovered. Fan Liwei and others had begun to like this feeling. His body and spirit were no longer fragile. This was a new freedom and experience. From the initial anger and resentment, he was now completely enjoying it. Once transformed, the only desire was to pursue stronger power and a more perfect body.

“Polina, well done. The effect is very good. It feels like fighting can make them evolve quickly.” Nangong Yuhang was very satisfied. Injury can stimulate the adaptability of the giant insect factors in the body. The giant insect's natural terrifying desire for evolution is very amazing.

Polina nodded happily. “It's just that the effect will be a bit too much. Fan Liwei is a little better, but the other four gene chains are a bit unstable.”

“It's okay, go ahead and do it. They are just the first batch. They have to do their best to be worthy of my efforts.” Nangong Yuhang waved his hand indifferently and looked back at Romero. “Do you think the humans have realized it?”

Romero was silent for a moment. “Most likely they have found it. There are still capable people in there.”

“Haha, you can just say Li Hao. It's best if they find it. If they can't find it, I will be a little disappointed. Those stupid human commanders should realize his power and let him take action. We can see the most direct reaction. Let me see what other cards he has.”

Nangong Yuhang wanted these five people to continue fighting, constantly breaking through the limits of their genes to see how much they could withstand. Because they had absorbed some divine soul, the three genes were fused, but he wanted to test and constantly improve to what extent this fusion could be sustained so he could ensure nothing went wrong when he used it on himself.

“Who do you think will win, Li Hao or Fan Liwei?” Nangong Yuhang suddenly asked.

“Li Hao.” Romero didn't hesitate. “But it can also force out his trump cards and see how far his Bati (overlord body) has reached.”

“Haha, that's my purpose. Everything about the battle between Li Hao and Fan Liwei will be recorded. If Li Hao's soul sample can be obtained, he won't be able to make waves.” Nangong Yuhang laughed. He was more eager to integrate Li Hao's power into his own evolution.
