Chapter 574 Why Won't You Just Die?!
At the same time, the Six Nations were also suffering attacks from the Ames' assault ships. Without Han Xiao's base guarding this place, cities were wantonly ravaged by artillery fire, the streets were littered with charred bodies, a scene of devastation.
Tank armies fired at the spaceships in the sky, shells exploding in black smoke and flames on the ship's shields. However, even high-explosive armor-piercing rounds could not penetrate the shields of interstellar technology, only causing a slight ripple of energy. The Ames' assault ships were unaffected, leaving behind clouds of lingering explosive black smoke as they passed, before turning to fire on the tank units.
Beams of light easily tore through the tanks' outer armor, exploding them from the inside, quickly annihilating one tank unit after another.
The civilization level gap was too great; the Six Nations had no power to resist.
However, fighter squadrons attacked the Ames' ships, constantly being shot down, yet the remaining fighters continued to press forward like moths to a flame. This was a one-sided battle, but no fighter turned to flee.
Even knowing that it was almost impossible to break through the ships' defenses, the fighters stubbornly launched suicidal attacks.
The aliens wanted to destroy the entire planet. There was nowhere to run; there was no retreat. The Disaster of Change seemed to have awakened the resilience of the Aquamarine Star people. The soldiers of the Six Nations fearlessly defended their homes.
Even knowing that they were but praying mantises trying to stop a chariot, they would use all their strength to resist, even if they were weak.
The high-level officials of the Six Nations watched the Ames' assault ships ravage the cities, watching the rising death toll, feeling a deep sense of sorrow in their bones.
The world was turbulent in the old era. They had experienced countless wars and were used to it. But having to sacrifice the lives of soldiers, sending them to their deaths, while the enemy remained unscathed, was something they were encountering for the first time.
The high-level officials of the Six Nations all had grim faces, their fists clenched tightly, their knuckles white. In the past few months, they had felt the sorrow of a backward civilization more than once, like a child being kneaded at will by an adult, their resistance futile.
Just then, reinforcements from the shelter arrived. The mercenary group brought many Supers, and although there were many enemy ships, some were restrained, slightly alleviating the crisis of the Six Nations.
"Black Star's people have come." The high-level officials of the Six Nations loosened their fists.
Fortunately... on this weak planet of ours, there are figures like Black Star.
So that we wouldn't be completely powerless to fight back.
…
Above the shelter, the number of Ames' assault ships had multiplied, and even more intense artillery fire rained down on the city's protective shield of the base, causing it to tremble continuously, booming incessantly. With Nagokin's troops harassing and restraining them from the side, they had not yet been able to focus their fire and break the shield.
Especially Nagokin. Within the atmosphere, he didn't need any other means to deal with these small assault ships. He spewed flames to shatter the ship's shields, and a few punches could blow up an assault ship.
He looked worried, occasionally glancing at Han Xiao's battlefield. He had just seen Degulish and the other two appear, and he knew that the enemy's goal was to ambush Black Star.
Nagokin originally wanted to turn around and support Han Xiao, but Black Star told him through the mech communication system not to worry and that he would hold back the three Calamity Grades, letting Nagokin continue to deal with the assault ships.
That's crazy!
Nagokin couldn't imagine how Han Xiao could hold back three Calamity Grades. Even he would be doomed!
Only when Han Xiao said that he couldn't hold on any longer would he call him. Nagokin gave up the idea of going to support him. He had previously watched Han Xiao's several transactions with the higher-ups and knew that this mercenary was very realistic and would never do anything that was certain to die. He must be sure of it. He could only suppress his worries—even though he didn't understand at all how Han Xiao would hold back the three Calamity Grades.
Inside the protective shield, countless residents watched in horror at the protective shield above their heads, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any time. This was the last barrier to protect them, and everyone trembled with fear, unable to help but pray.
Some assault ships dropped ground troops, preparing to pass through the shield from underground. Hundreds of thousands of players charged, and the Ames' ground troops were instantly submerged in the ocean of the people, without even making a splash.
Hundreds of thousands of Supers, and undead ones at that. Such combat power frightened the Ames' troops into giving up their ground attack. The Ames' ground combat personnel hugged the hatch door and refused to get off the ship—damn it, it's so good to stay in the sky; I don't want to go down and die.
The Ames' troops were too lazy to deal with this group of undying enemies, focusing on attacking the city. Only a small number of long-range players could attack the ships in the sky, and most players could only stand with their arms crossed, watching helplessly, with a look of frustration on their faces, wishing they could do something but being powerless. Those who were idle had already turned on the recording function.
However, these players quickly found something to do and turned their heads to look at Han Xiao's battlefield in the distance, which was making too much noise.
…
Bang bang bang!
Degulish's fist pierced through a G-1 Steel Legion's mechanical shield guard, and martial arts flames scattered, blasting dozens of mechanical creations around him.
Terry rotated like a top, his kill range being a circle with a diameter of more than one hundred meters. All the conventional mechanical combat soldiers within this range were cut to pieces.
With two companions holding back the firepower, Ashes unleashed even greater damage. The black tide swept across the ground like an overturned sea, swallowing groups of mechanical combat soldiers, tearing apart two thousand mechanical combat soldiers on his own.
The three Calamity Grades besieged with amazing destructive power. In a short while, the mechanical legion was reduced by a third, suffering heavy losses.
"My current mechanical legion is still a bit difficult to deal with three Calamity Grades," Han Xiao said with a solemn expression.
This level of loss was within his expectations. Calamity Grades were not so easy to deal with. With the current mechanical performance, it would probably take tens of thousands of cannon fodder to exhaust the strength of an ordinary Calamity Grade. It also depended on the specific abilities of the opponent. If it was a large-scale AOE destruction like Aroshia, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, Ashes' abilities were better at dealing with carbon-based life forms. Although he was both offensive and defensive at this time, the consumption was also great. Degulish was a martial artist with high single-target burst damage and strong endurance, but not much AOE. Terry, the Mechanical Martial Artist, was the same. The mechanical legion still had a restraining effect, taking them a longer time to rush to him.
However, after dodging for a while, Han Xiao was still faced with them. He was surrounded and attacked, and he was immediately put on the defensive.
Degulish and Terry were both good at close combat, their offensive like a storm. Han Xiao could only defend, his shield was often shattered, his floating shuttles were cut in half, and his mechanical arms were hammered into scrap metal. He relied on his mech and body to withstand the attacks, and his health dropped bit by bit.
With the mechanical legion focusing its fire, Ashes had to control the black tide to surround everyone, resisting the artillery fire, allowing his two teammates to concentrate on dealing with Han Xiao.
The black tide separated the mechanical legion and Han Xiao. The legion was outside, and Han Xiao was inside. The mechanical legion wanted to break through the black tide to help Han Xiao, but they were all blocked back by Ashes. Because the mechanical legion had lost a third of its forces, his pressure was reduced a lot, and he even had time to occasionally attack Han Xiao.
Only eight Oathkeeper Guards had been following Han Xiao, assisting in the battle, but they were destroyed one after another. The Oathkeepers were elite machines, and with Han Xiao's bonus, they had the ability to fight independently with B-grades. However, this time the opponents were Calamity Grades, and three of them!
Bang!
The last Oathkeeper was kicked in the abdomen by Degulish, and parts fell to the ground like intestines. Then, Degulish grabbed its head and pulled it out with force. In an instant, machine oil splattered everywhere, and the wires, like tendons, were still connected to the neck.
"What other helpers do you have? Call them all out." Degulish threw away the Oathkeeper's head, his murderous aura fierce, his tone manic.
All eight Oathkeepers had fallen. Han Xiao was squatting on the ground, coughing non-stop. There were many damaged places on the mech, leaking electric sparks.
Surrounding them was the encircling black tide. All the mechanical legions were blocked outside and were constantly being destroyed by Ashes.
Han Xiao gasped for breath, checking his condition. His health was still around 82%, but his energy was just recovering. The mech had withstood more damage. Its durability was only 8%, triggering [Unyielding Tenacity], giving him more damage reduction. However, only damage to the body could trigger his [Medium Energy Absorption].
The Virtual Dragon Mech was a good thing. He had used it for a long time, and it could still keep up with his level. Han Xiao didn't want to lose this mech. Seeing that the mech's durability was bottoming out, Han Xiao hurriedly put away the mech, exposing his body in front of the three Calamity Grades.
Only then could the three see Han Xiao's face.
"Finally willing to come out of this shell." Ashes curled his lips.
A Mechanic abandoning his mech and exposing his body meant that he was at the end of his rope.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and kill him."
Terry looked impatient, shaking the metal pieces, turning them into hard blades wrapped in energy.
At this time, Han Xiao stood up straight, with not much tension on his face. This calm expression made Degulish and Ashes frown.
"Don't be too proud, the battle has just begun!"
Saying that, Han Xiao stepped on the ground.
Buzz—
Endless mechanical force spread out from the position where his foot landed, like a huge lightning web, easily passing through the black tide and covering the entire battlefield.
The discarded parts all over the ground were connected by electric snakes, crackling.
The next moment, countless discarded parts floated into the air. The deformed and twisted metal recovered its shape under the action of the mechanical force field, and quickly assembled, turning back into the original mechanical combat soldiers. Most of the one-third of the mechanical legion that had been lost had returned.
Inside the black tide, eight Oathkeepers stood up again. One Oathkeeper twisted his newly installed head, calibrating its position with a click.
Waste Modification!
The damaged machinery was instantly pulled up!
Looking at the eight Oathkeepers guarding Han Xiao, Degulish's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"This guy has so many tricks!" Terry clicked his tongue.
"That's useless. Without his mech, he's dead." Degulish said angrily.
Ashes snorted coldly. With the legion's numbers restored, his pressure increased sharply. He suddenly couldn't spare the energy to deal with Han Xiao and could only concentrate on resisting the mechanical legion, leaving Han Xiao to his two teammates.
Han Xiao's face was slightly pale. Using [Waste Modification] on a large scale consumed a terrifying amount of energy. More than half of his full energy was gone in an instant.
The consumption of this skill depended on the coverage area and the number of machines in the area. At the same time, it had a coefficient of 0.x, where x was a variable. The specific consumption value of energy was the product of these. The higher his level, the smaller the coefficient, which meant that the higher the Mechanic's level, the lower the consumption of [Waste Modification].
Boom boom boom—
The next second, Degulish and Terry charged up again, bursting out with a storm-like offensive, and the battle began again!
Fists repeatedly hit his body heavily, and metal blades cut out wounds with rolled-up flesh.
Without the bonus of the mech, Han Xiao became more passive, constantly being hit hard, his blood spurting. He looked as if he was at the end of his rope. The attacks of the two Calamity Grades were extremely powerful. Hitting Han Xiao, they dealt at least several thousand damage per second.
After a long time of "enjoying" the beating, Degulish finally noticed something was wrong.
Wait!
This guy has sprayed out several liters of blood. How is he still so lively?!
If Degulish could see Han Xiao's attribute panel, he would find that Han Xiao's health bar and energy bar were rising and falling, and he was recovering fast. His health never dropped below half.
He looked miserable and precarious, but he was as steady as an old dog and didn't panic at all!
Several thousand damage per second was converted into energy to offset the damage. Degulish and his partner did a lot of damage, but they still couldn't keep up with his speed of recovery.
Han Xiao secretly felt relieved. Only after actual combat did he test how tenacious his vitality was. He didn't even need to use the Aurora character card he had prepared.
[Intermediate Cell Proliferation Mastery].
[Medium Energy Absorption].
These two template specialties were awesome!!
Thanks to Fording!
Although he was steady, being beaten still hurt, but compared to the painful experience during racial sublimation, the pain of being beaten now was almost a kind of enjoyment.
Degulish's expression was constantly changing as he fought for a long time, from fierce to surprised, from surprised to astonished, from astonished to stunned, and then from stunned to confused.
No matter how much they increased their strength, beating Black Star until he spurted blood, the other party showed no signs of serious injury. He could run, jump, and even open his mouth to talk.
Not only Degulish, but even Terry was confused.
What the hell is wrong with this guy!
How could he be so damn unkillable?!
Bang!
With another hit, Han Xiao flew out, creating a large pit on the ground. Degulish and Terry did not continue to chase him, but stood far away, looking at Han Xiao with suspicion.
"Hmm? Why aren't you attacking anymore?"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Han Xiao stood up, covered in blood, patted the dust off his body, smiled cheerfully, and was full of energy.
"Is that all? I haven't had enough fun. Put some effort into it. Didn't you have milk?"
Ashes' pupils shrank sharply, his face incredulous. This scene awakened his distant memory. The first time he fought Han Xiao on Dragon Emperor, Han Xiao showed extremely strong recovery ability and forced him back.
At that time, Ashes believed that Han Xiao's recovery ability must have a limit. As long as the damage was strong enough, he would be able to kill him. Until recently, he thought so.
However, Han Xiao used his body to withstand two Calamity Grades who were going all out. Even the ground was shoveled down several meters by the aftermath, turning into a huge pit, but he was still alive and kicking, without any problems.
At this moment, Ashes wavered.
Could it be that he was wrong? Did this guy's recovery ability really have no limit?!
Wouldn't that mean... no one can kill this monster?!
Just as the three were shocked, the sound of rumbling footsteps came from not far away, as if an army of hundreds of thousands of people was marching, and the ground was trembling slightly.
Hundreds of thousands of players were charging towards Han Xiao's battlefield, mighty and imposing. They couldn't deal with the ships in the sky, so they ran over to join in the fun.
Although they were only low-level Supers, there were as many as hundreds of thousands of them, and many had broken through the level 60 mark and obtained racial sublimation. It was simply a chaotic dance of demons.
"Looking for death. I will deal with this group of people. You find a way to kill Black Star."
Ashes put away the shock in his heart, his eyes flashing coldly, preparing to snap his fingers and decompose these hundreds of thousands of people.
A way? What way was there?
Degulish gritted his teeth, turned on the communicator, and ordered the fleet's temporary commander.
"Use the mothership's main cannon!"
"Sir, where do we aim?"
"Aim at Black Star!"
Not far away, Han Xiao's cheap smile suddenly froze on his face.
Damn it, I'm going to crash!
