Chapter 221 He Ran Away

The Void Race’s racial talent was a crucial part of Kè Sūyé’s combat power. Now that most of these talents were frozen, his combat power was far from its peak, and his stats had declined, so he held nothing back with this attack.

This trump card, which had been brewing for several days, was an explosive skill of Kè Sūyé. In terms of mechanism, it was somewhat similar to his own [Charge - Endless Accumulation]. During the charge-up period, Kè Sūyé could not use psychic energy, needing to compress it in his brain and continuously supplement it with the energy produced by his cells, like a reservoir. Then, he would use mental strength to seal the gate, like a dam, and only open the floodgates when facing the enemy, shooting it out in one go, like curing long-term constipation, with an extremely high attack coefficient bonus.

This attack not only had high damage, but also came with various forms of mental debuffs, which could put the opponent into a [Soul Weakness] state, causing a percentage decline in all attributes, lasting from several hours to several years depending on the target’s strength.

Míěrdùn suffered a heavy blow, and his momentum weakened instantly. He could only exert part of his strength. Kè Sūyé came prepared and, with his calculations, weakened the opponent’s overall combat power in one fell swoop.

As the violent Kè Kèzi knocked away the opposing leader online, the other eight were furious and immediately retaliated. Attacks of various forms of Super-A Grade power rained down on Kè Sūyé, including martial arts auras, magic, energy cannons, and superpowers.

Seeing this, Hán Xiāo sighed. With a flash, he stood in front of Kè Sūyé.

When they formed the team, it was agreed that his main role this time was to be a meat shield.

How could Kè Kèzi’s delicate body withstand the ravages of eight strong men? He still had to rely on his indestructible field to be the MT (main tank).

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the next moment, the eight people’s tyrannical attacks all landed on him.

Rumble!!

Various energies erupted, instantly expanding into a giant ball of light. The ground collapsed, and matter was annihilated and evaporated. The entire planet was like a piece of fruit that had been bitten off.

A huge circular pit appeared in the field, extremely deep and wide, and the underground temporary base naturally collapsed.

However, while he was trash-talking just now, Hán Xiāo had already quietly ordered the troops to transfer, so what was destroyed at this time was just an empty shell base.

He saw the smoke and dust rapidly dissipate. Hán Xiāo floated in place, patted the dust off his body casually, and said casually, “This strength is not enough. You still need to practice more.”

The eight people who were preparing to take advantage of the situation and pursue were stunned in place, with disbelief on their faces.

They saw their opponent take a concentrated fire from eight people and thought that even if he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured. At the very least, he should be in a mess and reveal flaws. However, they never expected that this guy named Black Star would take a round of concentrated fire and end up as if nothing had happened, almost unscathed!

How was that possible? The information showed that this guy was a mechanic!

It was no wonder they were shocked. They had learned about Hán Xiāo’s abilities in the explored universe, but this was the first time they had witnessed an “indestructible body.” This was basically their reaction.

Just as the eight people lost their minds, Kè Sūyé’s actions did not stop at all. After using Black Star as a shield to block a round of concentrated fire, his psychic power was like a torrent, exerting an AoE (area of effect) effect, instantly splitting into the spiritual world of the eight people, outputting tons of mental damage, and blowing away three of the weaker Holy Spirit Grade Supers.

He was already accustomed to Black Star’s tankiness. He was used to it in his heart and could not produce any unexpected emotions. Naturally, he would not let go of the fleeting opportunity and immediately launched a fierce attack on the enemy’s flaws.

At this time, Hán Xiāo also released his machinery force to control the mechanical troops. The overwhelming mechanical soldiers roamed around like crows, constantly covering the area with firepower. The huge lethality made the enemies feel restrained and dangerous.

Moreover, a milestone that Hán Xiāo had not expected was playing a role at this time…

Rothe’s [Civilization Leader Assassin]!

The enemy’s overall defense and resistance were reduced by another 3% to 7%, making them even squishier.

“I didn’t expect that I really became a wanted criminal. This ability came in handy now…”

Hán Xiāo said helplessly.

The process of the two sides exchanging blows looked quite long, but at the speed of Super-A Grades, only a few seconds had actually passed from the negotiation to the start of the war.

The fierce battle broke out instantly. Although Míěrdùn and the other nine had the advantage in numbers and overall combat power, because they lost the first move at the beginning, they could not gain any advantage from Hán Xiāo and Kè Sūyé. However, they had a set of standard golden suits, so the disadvantage was not too great, and the two sides fought inextricably.

“I feel like these people’s strength seems to be a bit weaker…”

Hán Xiāo multitasked and glanced at the combat information on the panel.

These three Supreme Grade powerhouses were equivalent to the level of peak Super-A Grades, but it did not mean that all three of them had extremely high levels of divinity transformation. In fact, only Míěrdùn had activated the path of divinity transformation.

When he advanced at level 300, his energy level was just over 70,000, and he entered the peak Super-A Grade level. Only when his energy level exceeded 78,000 and his Qi force realm exceeded Lv21 did he open the path of divinity transformation. This had a threshold. Not all peak Super-A Grades had divinity transformation.

Although Hán Xiāo didn’t know Kè Sūyé’s energy level, he conservatively estimated that it should be above 90,000, with at least ten layers of divinity transformation. However, Míěrdùn, the strongest on the other side, had an energy level that was only close to 80,000. Although there was one more peak Super-A Grade on the other side, the combat power advantage was not as high as he imagined.

As for the other six Holy Spirit Grade powerhouses, Hán Xiāo also took a look. Only two S+ Grade players had an energy level exceeding 52,000. The other four were all punks with an energy level between 43,000 and 48,000.

“The number is quite impressive, but the quality…”

Hán Xiāo shook his head secretly.

Come to think of it, he and Kè Sūyé were at least standing at the peak of the explored universe. Even among the peak Super-A Grades, they were the best of the best. There was no need to belittle themselves.

Of course, the Star Cluster Alliance had nearly ten thousand Super-A Grades, and there should be some who could be compared to the two of them. However, not to mention whether people of this level would work for the Superpower Security Department, even if they really had such experts, they would not send them out casually. After all, the two of them had not shown much strength before. Perhaps in the eyes of the Superpower Security Department, sending out a lineup of nine Super-A Grades was already overkill.

Hu–

A martial arts type vanguard from the Holy Spirit Grade charged forward, rushing left and right, and killed his way to the front. He raised a golden-grade blood-red saber and stabbed at Hán Xiāo’s eyes.

Hán Xiāo did not panic and easily tilted his head to dodge. The aura-filled saber light illuminated his eyes, which were full of nostalgia.

How many years had it been? Someone had finally charged at his face again. He had almost forgotten what it was like…

He even had the leisure to size up the other party. Then, he backhanded a punch, creating an afterimage. It was swift and unparalleled. The powerful strength and agility attributes made his attack speed even surpass the professional martial artist.

Dong!

The fist containing majestic power slammed into the face. The other party’s brain seemed to have opened a symphony. Cymbals, drums, and accordions rang out together. The whole person was like a baseball that had been hit flying with a stick, flying out of Hán Xiāo’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Hán Xiāo nodded lightly.

“Hmm, it seems that even here, the life of the martial arts department is equally difficult…”

After only exchanging blows for a while, Hán Xiāo could basically determine that this pursuit team could not pose a substantial threat. This way, he had more time to observe the opponent and collect intelligence.

The other party had nine people, two psychics, three martial artists, two mages, one mechanic, and one esper. The team configuration was relatively complete, and all five systems were present.

Hán Xiāo mainly observed the only mechanic on the other side, a Supreme Grade powerhouse.

Because there were no secondary dimensions here, some professional abilities of the five systems had undergone corresponding changes. Although there were some alternative abilities, the overall strength of the abilities was not as good as that of the main universe. For example, some special energies that originated in secondary dimensions could not be mastered by people here.

Without secondary dimension barracks, Hán Xiāo was curious how the mechanics here could summon legions on a large scale.

After careful observation and with the information given by the combat information, he quickly understood the other party’s methods.

“First, they innovated the compression orb technology, developing a special machinery force resonance change. Then, they used an ability similar to Apostle Transformation to give the machinery force new characteristics and change some cells to transform the body into a barracks space. The machinery in the compressed orb state can be further compressed and absorbed into the body for storage through the blessing of machinery force, which is similar to the effect of a secondary dimension barracks… However, this ability has limitations and, like Apostle Transformation, the more machinery stored in the body, the higher the burden, which will simultaneously reduce the upper limit of life and Qi force…”

Hán Xiāo’s heart skipped a beat.

This was a feasible path. The idea was not that novel, but it had its merits. The main thing was that the machinery force conversion technique inside was very complicated, and it should be an ability that was automatically generated during advancement or job change. However, due to the subtle differences between the two systems here and in the explored universe, the abilities generated during job change were also slightly different, which was somewhat similar to different branches of the same system.

In comparison, the secondary dimension barracks and the dimension factory were better to use. There was no burden, and there was no upper limit to the number of troops stored, which was far superior. However, the method of storing troops in the body also had its advantages, which was that it was not interfered with by spatial stabilizers.

However, understanding the other party’s methods did not mean that he had cracked the principle. Hán Xiāo could not learn this technique at present.

The two sides rolled and fought fiercely, not caring about the aftermath. This planet was quickly crushed into cosmic dust, and the battlefield was moved to outer space.

Hán Xiāo was busy observing when Kè Sūyé’s voice sounded in his brain.

“Black Star, why aren’t you activating Mechanical God? Hurry up and kill one or two of them!”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t it good to be in a stalemate now? Let me collect more information.”

Kè Sūyé: “I’m out of energy.”

You’re trying to trick me?!

Hán Xiāo subconsciously flashed this thought.

However, he immediately reacted… This time, the other party might really be out of mana.

Of course, the battle had only just begun. Kè Sūyé was exaggerating when he said that he was out of mana. He could still last for a long time. However, from a long-term perspective, his mana regeneration methods were restricted, and one person’s endurance could not compare to the other nine. If he fought a war of attrition, he would definitely fall into a disadvantage, so he did not want Hán Xiāo to continue paddling and planned to take advantage of his good condition to achieve some results first and cut off the enemy’s wings.

“Alright, since you insist…”

Hán Xiāo did not take it to heart and was about to activate Mechanical God and go all out.

However, at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred.

He saw Míěrdùn and the other nine suddenly stop attacking and retreat rapidly. Complex and exquisite blue magic patterns lit up on their mechs.

Swish!

In the next moment, the figures of the nine people disappeared without a trace.

“Hmm?”

Hán Xiāo’s movements stopped. He immediately scanned the surroundings with his senses, but he did not find any targets.

The opponent disappeared, and Kè Sūyé also stopped. He used his psychic power to probe the surroundings, but he also gained nothing.

The nine powerhouses who came to arrest them seemed to have suddenly used teleportation magic runes to run away.

The two looked at each other, confused, with only one thought in their minds…

That’s it?!

“They wouldn’t have really escaped, right?”

The Great Technician Hán was stunned.

No, he had not exerted any strength yet!

The other party had no casualties and basically retained complete combat power. They had only fallen into a slight disadvantage, but they decisively ran away. How cowardly was that?

Could it be that the Super-A Grades here were the legendary ones who smiled happily when they were in a favorable situation, but hung up when they were in a bad situation, only knowing how to fight in advantageous situations?!

Kè Sūyé opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.

The pursuers came aggressively. He thought that they would not give up until they achieved their goal, but he did not expect that their escape posture would be so skilled. They came and went in a hurry, without even saying a harsh word. This efficiency was unmatched.

“Black Star, should we chase after them?”

“… I’m a mechanic, not a mage. Locating the location of teleportation magic is not my strong point. Besides, they are making a strategic retreat, and their personnel are well preserved. It would be too arrogant for us to turn around and chase after them.”

“Then what do we do now?”

“Forget it. Anyway, they’ve all run away. I might as well try how effective this concealment device is.”

Hán Xiāo shook his head helplessly. He took out a green-gold metal piece, input energy to activate it, and carefully experienced it. He did not feel any changes, so he had to put it in his pocket casually and kept it in the on state.

He had obtained all the information he needed, and he had confirmed that the cooperation plan with the Superpower Security Department would not work. Now, he could only choose to find the mysterious person.

The two quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Without staying for long, they immediately left the scene and headed to the place agreed upon by the mysterious person.

…

On the other side, in a certain space far away from the battlefield, nine rays of light flashed, and Míěrdùn and his group teleported over.

After taking a breath, Míěrdùn endured the needle-like continuous pain in his brain and said in a deep voice in the team communication channel:

“The department’s judgment was inaccurate. The strength of the target this time is astonishing. Even among the Supreme Grades, he is a leader. In particular, the one called Black Star has an incredible recovery power. Our attacks can hardly pose a threat to his life. With just the nine of us, the success rate of the arrest is too low. Ask the headquarters for reinforcements.”

“Understood.”

The others nodded.

Although they could continue fighting, they felt that it was not necessary.

After the exchange just now, they had realized that they probably could not capture the target with just this number of people, so they decisively retreated and prepared to call for support, without wasting any time.

The department culture of the Superpower Security Department did not advocate holding on—since they were evenly matched, it was enough to come back and shake people up. It was a waste of time to force it. Not only was the success rate not high, but there was also a risk of sacrifice, which was not worth the loss.

What if the enemy was strong? They had more people. They were playing a numbers game!

Nine were not enough? Then double the number of pursuers! Double was not enough? Then double it again! They did not believe that you could keep going!

Anyway, they were law enforcement departments. There was no need to talk about morality with wanted criminals. They only cared about the success rate!

The staff of the Superpower Security Department had always been doing things this way, and the foundation that supported this approach was the existence of the Positioning Star Map.

—Anyway, no matter where the target was, the Positioning Star Map could relock them at any time, so there was no need to worry about the target running away. There was plenty of time to deploy troops.

However, at this moment, before the group could contact the headquarters, the headquarters suddenly sent an urgent communication request.

Míěrdùn answered the communication, and the face of the department leader appeared on the mech’s built-in screen. His expression was solemn and even a little angry.

“What did you do to those two fugitives?!” The department leader asked sharply.

Míěrdùn did not know where the leader’s anger came from and said honestly:

“We fought just now, and the team unanimously believed that we could not capture the target, so we made a strategic retreat and decided to call for support… What happened?”

“I want to know what happened too!” The department leader said with a dark face, and said sternly, “Just now, the Positioning Star Map suddenly lost the positioning of the two people. The target disappeared out of thin air, and we can’t find them!”

Míěrdùn suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

They retreated, and the Positioning Star Map failed?!

How was that possible!

What did those two people do?!

His confident attitude was instantly messed up.
