"We'll charge in a wave to cover you! Break out in the opposite direction, save whoever can!"

"I'm done for, Perkins. I'll cover you, you break through! Taichen, you can too, with your speed..."

Taichen's leg was broken, he couldn't run.

Fati Kuge grinned hideously at the sky, "None of you will escape!"

The strongest one hadn't even made a move yet. This human whelp was quite fierce, a cornered dog jumping over a wall. So, he'd let his subordinates wear them down first, then he could reap the rewards with ease.

Zhou Yan (Primordial Flame) burned. Fati Kuge directly activated his Zhou Yan peak Sky Eye, the third soul eye on his forehead instantly intensifying the pressure in the entire area. The ambition and bloodlust of the wild beasts even aroused the other orcs, their eyes turning blood red as they began their frenzied assault.

Perkins roared, "Depuya, go! Charge with me!"

Perkins, Vega, and Taichen met the dozen or so orcs head-on. Depuya gritted his teeth and immediately entered stealth, disappearing into the barrier. But after only a dozen seconds, a series of explosions rang out in the space, and Depuya stumbled out, three massive bloody gashes across his chest, his ribs exposed.

Fati Kuge blocked Depuya, licking the blood on his beast martial alloy claws. "Where do you think you're going? Using stealth in front of orcs, you humans are truly fools!"

Depuya knew things wouldn't end well. Ignoring his injuries, he ignited his Zhou Yan, but after a year, he still hadn't opened his Sky Eye. Accompanied by a deafening explosion, Perkins bled from all seven orifices, but his Zhou Yan suddenly soared to a level that even Fati Kuge was shocked by. Perkins's Sky Eye appeared, his face twisted in a grimace. He pierced an orc with his sword, severing its head, and roared, "You guys go help Depuya! I'll handle this!"

Vega and Taichen were astonished. They didn't know Perkins had opened his Sky Eye. But judging from Perkins's appearance, it seemed extremely forced. He was consuming his life force. The blood-red Sky Eye boosted his power, but also left Perkins in a terrifying state, black blood constantly seeping out.

"I don't have much time left, you have to break through!" As he spoke, Perkins endured a claw attack, his sword, burning with blood-red Zhou Yan, pierced through. Accompanied by a soul intimidation, the orc faltered for a moment and was impaled.

"Don't be afraid, charge! Kill him, and you'll be a hero of the empire! I'll recommend you for rewards! Death to those who retreat!" Fati Kuge roared. He hadn't expected such a waste of a human to open his Sky Eye. A moment of carelessness, and he was slashed by Depuya.

Retreating, Depuya looked at Perkins, gritted his teeth, and charged outward. The orcs responsible for the barrier had to intercept him, causing the barrier to become unstable and leak power. This would soon alert Holy Anthem. Fati Kuge didn't want his efforts to be in vain; failing to complete the mission would be a huge problem.

Ignoring his injuries, with a roar, the entire earth trembled – Hunting Time!

Depuya had just repelled the orcs when he was struck heavily, blood spraying everywhere. He was sent flying. If Fati Kuge hadn't been so hasty, that claw strike would have torn out Depuya's heart.

Fati Kuge pounced directly. *Boom!*

A deafening explosion. Zhou Yan erupted, and the two Sky Eye warriors clashed. But one was a skilled Sky Eye user, the other a hurried one, and already half-dead. The difference was obvious. Perkins's right hand was torn off.

*Boom...*

Perkins was kicked flying. Depuya immediately rushed up and embraced Perkins. The tyrannical force instantly pierced through both of them, sending them flying.

Vega and Taichen were also surrounded and beaten by other orcs, unable to provide support. Holy Anthem sounded an alarm, and the Holy Judgment Team was on its way. Fati Kuge frowned, but there was no time to care. Killing them would complete the mission. The empire would find a way, make up some excuse. Dead men tell no tales.

Perkins had already fainted. Depuya held Perkins, wailing silently. The two had been arguing since their time in Apocalypse, arguing about everything. After becoming famous, they still argued. One a keyboard warrior, the other a mad dog, but Depuya knew Perkins had always been letting him win. All along, Perkins's strength and talent had been greater than his, and in terms of social skills, Depuya was truly reckless, while Perkins was actually very smooth. In the Kepler war, too, this was their unique way of getting along, understanding each other best. Perkins wasn't originally supposed to come here, but ended up following him.

Once again, he was the one being taken care of. Why was he always the useless one?

He had been working hard, but why? At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair. His past confidence wasn't his own, because Li Hao was there. And after Li Hao left, he was nothing. Perkins had worried about this, which was why he had come.

Second Brother, where are you?

If Second Brother was here, how could these orcs dare to humiliate them like this?

Depuya looked at the dying Perkins, desperately hoping Li Hao was by his side. Even if he died, he hoped Li Hao could save Perkins and the others. Vega and Taichen had also been beaten down. Unprecedented despair enveloped his heart. The orcs were laughing wildly. Fati Kuge contentedly stroked his blood-stained fangs, savoring the prey's final moments of humility and helplessness.

"Kill!" The orcs surged forward.

Depuya laughed. "Perkins, I've dragged you down again. Second Brother, I've tried my best. See you in the next life." He used his body to shield Perkins.

At that moment, on the Emperor Martial Star, tens of thousands of light-years away, Li Hao, who had just finished reaping the leeks, was stunned. He had been absent-minded during the recent battle, feeling like someone was calling out to him. It was a vague feeling, but after stopping, it became more pronounced. It wasn't an illusion. Someone was calling him, a very close person, seemingly in need of his strength.

But he didn't know where they were. His heart was frantically responding. At this moment, Li Hao in the war room was radiating terrifying power, his eyes filled with murderous intent. His soul was constantly searching for that resonance. Since he could sense it, there must be some kind of connection. Suddenly, Li Hao felt that some of his golden cells were missing.

He could fight Void creatures one-on-one. The power of his soul alone wasn't enough, it required his golden cells, the power of his inner universe. This was the foundation for his body's quantum tunneling. Each golden cell stored power. Of course, once depleted, he would experience extreme hunger, so Li Hao was careful when using his power, especially after reaching Adjudication. But if he could help the person calling out to him, he would give as much as he could. Anyone capable of soul resonance was the closest to him.

Li Hao didn't know what had happened, but he felt a certain amount of power from his golden cells suddenly empty.

At Holy Anthem, Fati Kuge's alloy claws were already descending. It had been a while since he made human kebabs. At the same time, other orcs aimed their claws at Taichen and Vega.

The Holy Judgment Team was on its way, but it wouldn't be quick. By the time they arrived, they would only find corpses and orcs ready to take the blame.

Fati Kuge's alloy claws struck down. He wanted to see how fast a human's heart could beat. *Boom...*

Terrifying Zhou Yan erupted from Depuya's body, a completely mismatched aura burning fiercely. The orcs preparing to kill Vega and Taichen were stunned. At this moment, Depuya had put down Perkins, his eyes blood red, but a golden Sky Eye was on his forehead.

*Thump... Thump... Thump...*

Something seemed to be beating, the world itself was following his beat. In an instant, Depuya disappeared. Fati Kuge reacted quickly, thrusting his claw forward. Although amazed by Depuya's speed, he still managed to grab him. The claw pierced his chest, but was blocked by his ribs, failing to penetrate. Depuya's hand blade had already pierced through.

He directly ripped out the orc's heart. Fati Kuge's beast eyes widened, followed by a hysterical wail, "My, my heart! Give me back my heart!"

Depuya put the orc's heart in his mouth and chewed it voraciously. This brutal scene shocked all the orcs. In their minds, humans were weak and cowardly, enduring bullying with only silent resentment. This was generally due to the Solar System Alliance's strategy, which was why the orcs had so boldly devised such a massacre plan. Frankly, if they died, no one would stand up for them.

Fati Kuge's eyes bulged, his wails turning into whimpers. He watched helplessly as his heart was chewed to pieces by Depuya, followed by a stream of feces and urine. He struggled and writhed on the ground before finally breathing his last.

And the other orcs, upon seeing this scene, instantly scattered like frightened birds, abandoning everything. This brutal scene shattered the orcs' courage. As for Fati Kuge, he would bear full responsibility. A dead boss was useless. Orcs were even more ruthless when it came to shifting blame.

Depuya stood there, all the strength seeming to have been drained from his body. The golden Sky Eye on his forehead was slowly disappearing. In that moment of despair, he felt a powerful force instantly surge into his body. It was a familiar aura. He was certain it was Second Brother's.

He didn't know what had happened, only that Second Brother had responded to his request like a god, bestowing him with power.

Vega and Taichen, lying on the ground, stared blankly at this scene. The pain on their bodies seemed to vanish instantly. Honestly, the orcs had made thorough preparations to kill them. They had been in despair. They weren't afraid of one-on-one fights, but there were too many of them. They couldn't call for help, but a miracle had occurred. Because they had witnessed a golden light descend on Depuya, and then Depuya had opened his Sky Eye, directly slaying the orc. That golden Sky Eye carried a familiar aura.

How could this be? They hadn't even recovered from their near-death experience.

And Perkins had also been shaken awake, unable to move his body at all, only staring with wide eyes. His mind was much sharper. He and Depuya were like two unfortunate brothers. He was a fence-sitter, unloved by his parents, and Depuya was his only true brother. He had actually been against coming out here. It was too difficult outside, especially without the support of the council, but he couldn't resist Depuya's insistence.

As for death, it was only a matter of time. Perkins wasn't afraid of death, just didn't want to die so pathetically. He would rather have died in the Kepler war. Depuya was the weakest among them, and already in despair. Being the closest, he had certainly heard Depuya's mutterings.

But Li Hao couldn't possibly be at Holy Anthem, separated by countless light-years. No matter how strong he was, what could he do?

This...

Li Hao... Brother Li, could he really be not human?
