Chapter 131 The Ability to Reduce Lifespan

The words fell, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, on the verge of exploding.

The anger in Gorutan's eyes almost solidified, the energy fluctuations rose steadily, and the violent martial arts aura burned fiercely, emitting huge pressure. The surrounding metal walls vibrated and gradually cracked.

"Want to fight?"

Han Xiao's eyes flickered with electric light, and his whole body was entwined with blue-gold electric snakes, crackling.

After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, Gorutan's aura suddenly subsided, and the oppressiveness in the room disappeared.

The anger on his face quickly disappeared, and he said lightly:

"Black Star, you really gave me a little surprise, hard enough."

Han Xiao crossed his arms and said calmly: "Whether it's hard or not is another matter, what are you going to do now?"

Gorutan expressionlessly pointed his finger at the head of the Sovereign's Avatar and slowly opened his mouth:

"I've remembered today's matter, this isn't over between us."

After speaking, he turned around and strode away, leaving the small floating base and flying towards his own fleet.

"Threatening words, huh? I thought you would really lose your temper and come at me." Han Xiao shook his head, came to the door, and watched Gorutan lead his fleet into streamers and disappear from sight.

A small war was extinguished with Gorutan's retreat. Han Xiao recalled the mechanical army and controlled the Sovereign's Avatar to return to the main ship, where Hela had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he returned to the command room, Hela greeted him.

"What conditions did you agree to? Or did you force him back?"

Han Xiao shook his head, "Neither, he retreated on his own initiative."

"Gorutan suffered a loss, can he endure this?" Hela asked suspiciously.

"At least on the surface, he didn't suffer a loss. He blew up the Philli Star we chose, slowing down our exploration, forcing us to change a planet as a base. And you killed some of his subordinates, he didn't earn much either, it's a draw."

"This matter won't just end like this, will it?" Hela frowned.

"Of course not, we have already formed a grudge with him, Gorutan won't let it go."

Hela slowly exhaled a breath and said softly: "I intensified the conflict, causing the legion to provoke a new enemy, I..."

"Don't blame yourself, I don't blame you, what you did is exactly what I need."

Han Xiao interrupted her and waved his hand, "Gorutan's provocation is a kind of probing. Now the legion has become too popular, and there are too many people who want to test us. There may be more forces behind Gorutan. Surrounded by enemies, if we are not tough enough, not ruthless enough, and don't make other forces feel afraid, then any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to test us in the future. Moreover, your hard power is far behind, he challenged you to a duel, obviously bullying you. We can't let you be wronged and beaten up for nothing, if you are beaten by him, the legion's prestige will still decline."

Hela stared at Han Xiao, her eyes flickering with strange colors, and tilted her head.

"You don't care that I'm making enemies for you?"

Han Xiao didn't care, "What I like most is your ruthlessness. So what if Gorutan just wanted to test us? Do I have to obediently act with him and wait for him to finish and leave? Remember, he took the initiative to choose to be an enemy with me, not you making enemies. If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. I let you lead the team to the Free Competition Zone, not to be a pushover. Whoever dares to block the way, don't be polite, don't wrong yourself."

The current Black Star Army is already different. It has the largest territory in the Shattered Star Ring and is responsible for guarding the place for the empire. Status brings benefits and responsibilities, and it must be tougher.

"... Really?"

"Of course." Han Xiao smiled and reached out to pat Hela on the shoulder.

You are my important fighter, what I want is deterrence. If I don't protect you, am I supposed to speak for the enemy? Then I would be a complete idiot.

Originally, Han Xiao just wanted to use Hela's ability to make the other party suffer a secret loss. Provoking Gorutan was not in the plan, but now that things have come to this, he has nothing to fear. Since someone actively provokes, it's their fault for getting hurt.

Hearing Han Xiao say this, Hela's tense face relaxed a little, paused, and asked: "What did you say to him just now?"

"I just reasoned with him..."

Han Xiao briefly recounted the conversation with Gorutan.

After listening, Hela couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile,啧啧, marveling, "You were so tough, and he didn't even fight with you?"

"I'm also a peak Beyond Grade A, after all, I still have some prestige." Han Xiao smiled, "Also, he didn't do anything, partly because of you."

"Me?"

"We have two Beyond Grade As on our side, the situation is not very favorable for him. Besides, Gorutan is not at his peak state, he doesn't have much advantage in a fight." Han Xiao said.

If it were an ordinary Beyond Grade A, Gorutan might not care, but Hela had recently caused him serious damage with [Death God's Harvest], which was very deterrent, causing Gorutan's health to be incomplete, and the upper limit of health was also reduced by about 10%. In this case, one against two, one of whom is Black Star, the risk is a bit high.

Han Xiao guessed that this was the reason for Gorutan's retreat. Martial artists are headstrong, but they also know how to assess the situation. Faced with a clearly unfavorable environment, temporarily retreating is the best strategy.

He didn't want to force Gorutan to stay. A peak Beyond Grade A martial artist has extremely strong breakthrough power. He is just a Sovereign's Avatar and can't keep him. At the same time, he is a famous tank, so Gorutan's first choice of attack target must be Hela, and Hela's [Instant Death Immunity] is still on cooldown, making the fight even more dangerous.

Both sides have concerns and can't do anything to each other.

After a pause, Han Xiao said: "Gorutan will always come back, you still have to pay attention, the possibility of him targeting you is very high."

"Maybe we can take the initiative to attack." Hela's idea is always very aggressive.

"Take the initiative to attack? We'll see."

Han Xiao shook his head, not that it's impossible, but he needs more certainty.

The 4.0 players are finally online, and he can finally return to the right track of rapid leveling, and the level that has been stagnant for a long time can be raised.

With his current strength, it is not so easy to deal with Gorutan. He hopes to complete one or even two advancements before solving this matter, so that he will be more confident.

Being an enemy with Gorutan was outside the plan. Han Xiao had been low-key for decades, making the outside world think that he was also stuck in a bottleneck. Once he fights with a peak Beyond Grade A, he will inevitably expose his current strength, and that old fox Manison is probably going to jump out and have fun again.

'I still have to complete the level 320 advancement first, this is the most important thing at the moment.' Han Xiao thought to himself.

If he guessed correctly, the worst case scenario for this matter may have very serious chain reactions...

He must improve his strength to cope!

Ending the conversation, the Sovereign's Avatar fell asleep again, and Hela returned to her post.

Philli Star has turned to ashes, and she is directing the fleet to another nearby planet to establish a base.

……

On the other side, Gorutan's fleet is returning to its base planet.

Gorutan leaned against the tall throne, holding a huge cup that fit his size, and gurgling a local liquor of a certain race into his mouth.

More than a dozen female descendants, tall and short, surrounded him. Some were holding medical tools to treat his wounds, some were holding scissors to trim the body hair next to his wounds, and the rest were massaging his muscles in various parts.

"Father, are you comfortable?"

"Use more force."

Gorutan wiped his lips, threw the empty cup aside, and looked down at the Calamity Grade cadres below the steps, and asked coldly: "Has the casualty report come out?"

"It's already out, please take a look." A Calamity Grade descendant walked up and handed over a communication terminal.

Gorutan opened the virtual screen and glanced at it, and couldn't help but snorted angrily, "They killed five of my Calamity Grades, I will kill Hela sooner or later! And that bastard Black Star, dare to be so tough, if I hadn't been injured and not at my peak, I would have dismantled his Sovereign's Avatar!"

Seeing Gorutan's anger, everyone dared not speak, walking on thin ice.

"Don't think that I'm afraid of his Black Star, he's not qualified to force me to back down. I blew up Philli Star and slowed down their progress, which is considered to have completed what Sorokin ordered." Gorutan snorted coldly.

He chose to temporarily avoid Han Xiao's edge, one because he was not in good condition, two because he had allies, and there was no need to confront Black Star alone, and three because after calming down, he remembered his original goal, which was to help others test.

So there is a better way to get back at him. He remembered that Sorokin said that the Light and the Void Spirit had the idea of killing Hela, so he could completely borrow a knife to kill, without having to do it himself.

Saying that, Gorutan shifted the topic and said in a deep voice: "A batch of people died, let the family cultivate another batch of mixed-blood descendants."

"Are you going back to sow the seeds yourself?"

"Just use the stock." Gorutan waved his big hand.

His base is manufacturing pregnant women at every moment. After all, the efficiency of mating and breeding offspring is too low. The base's freezer stores a large amount of Gorutan's Beyond Grade A deoxyribonucleic acid, which has extremely strong vitality and adaptability. Generally, artificial methods are used to mass-produce offspring, supplemented by compounds such as inducing hormones to accelerate fetal maturation.

After so many years of hybridization experiments, he has long accumulated various hybridization combinations that can produce excellent offspring, and knows which species to match with to breed offspring with special talents. Therefore, in his base camp, he hoards many excellent races of females as offspring culture medium.

As for where these people came from... As a high-ranking Beyond Grade A, he naturally wouldn't waste time dating so many people. Some people are willing, while others may not be—those who control the interstellar black market are not clean guys.

At this moment, Gorutan coughed twice unexpectedly.

"Father, your injury..." a cadre said worriedly.

"That Hela's ability has a very strong lethality, and its explosive power is very high, and it can actually hurt me." Gorutan frowned, "I didn't feel it when fighting just now, but now my body feels a little weird."

Saying that, Gorutan closed his eyes and directly checked his physical condition from the cellular level. Among the five super-power systems, martial artists have the highest degree of control over their bodies.

Everyone waited silently for a while, and suddenly, Gorutan suddenly opened his eyes, shocked, and stood up suddenly. All the female descendants lying on him were thrown out.

"Damn it, her ability can weaken cellular vitality!!"

Gorutan's expression twisted, and the whole person was furious!

He had never been so angry when a large number of elite descendants died in Hela's hands!

Cell vitality is related to the number of cell divisions, and this attribute is very secret. Even Beyond Grade As are not easy to detect. Until now, he realized that he had lost years of his life!

Not only lifespan, but fertility is also closely related to cell vitality. His fertility is likely to be affected, and the vitality of deoxyribonucleic acid has decreased, resulting in a decline in the quality of breeding offspring!

Boom!

In anger, the aura burst out suddenly, and the pressure made all the descendants lie on the ground, shivering.

"This kind of insidious ability..." Gorutan's forehead veins jumped, and his killing intent towards Hela was like a flood.

He never expected that this action would reduce his lifespan.

A big loss!!

Gorutan's chest heaved violently, and his breathing was extremely heavy, almost with the urge to turn around and kill.

"F-Father..."

At this time, several weak descendants were slapped on the wall by the turbulent martial arts aura and hurriedly asked for help. Seeing this, Gorutan reluctantly suppressed his anger and calmed down the violent martial arts aura.

"Get out!"

Hearing this, many cadres present hurriedly scrambled to leave the room. Everyone knew that they could not wander in front of Father when he was furious.

Only Gorutan was left in the room. He sat on the throne for a while, picked up the communicator, and dialed Sorokin.

After ringing three times, the communication was connected, Sorokin appeared, and smiled:

"Your Excellency Beast Ancestor, how is the situation?"

Gorutan stared at him coldly for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "The matter has been resolved. I blew up Philli Star and also completed the test on Hela. For this, I lost many descendants and was also angered by Black Star."

"Great, Your Excellency Beast Ancestor is indeed very reliable. I will compensate you for any losses. So, what is the result of the test?"

"Hela's ability is very dangerous and has terrifying explosive power..."

Gorutan told all the discoveries during the battle, and finally paused and said in a deep voice:

"Her ability has another terrifying characteristic. As long as it hits a living body, it can weaken the cell vitality and reduce the target's lifespan. This discovery cost me a huge price!"

Sorokin was stunned, and suddenly restrained his smile, and his expression became serious.

"Are you serious?"

"I shouldn't have told you. I should have waited for the people from Light or Void Spirit to take action, let them find out that they were having their lifespan reduced, and then attribute this to your inaccurate information." Gorutan said coldly.

"... I understand." Sorokin squinted.

"I hope you truthfully convey this to the people of Light and Void Spirit, don't play tricks, otherwise even if I am a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium, I will still beat you!" Gorutan's eyes were cold.

"Don't worry, I have integrity in this regard." Sorokin nodded seriously and hung up the communication.

Gorutan threw the communicator aside casually, his expression indifferent, and his eyes flickered with a stern cold light.

Letting Light and Void Spirit know that Hela's ability has the characteristic of reducing lifespan may lead to two situations.

First, because of fear, they will give up the plan to target her.

Second, because of fear, they must not let her live.

According to his understanding of Light and Void Spirit, ninety-nine percent of the possibility will be the latter.

If Hela has such an ability, Light and Void Spirit will not allow her to grow up.

In his previous life, Hela belonged to the chaotic evil camp and was no different from the Otherworldly Deities. She did not have a clear faction inclination, so most people were unwilling to provoke such a mad woman and thug. No one wanted to lose lifespan in vain.

But now the situation is completely different. Hela is a member of the Black Star Army, a poisonous thorn with an owner, no longer chaotic and evil, this poisonous thorn will only stab the enemy.

This leads to the fact that the forces and powerhouses on the opposite side of the Black Star Army will feel a strong threat.

In terms of targeting top combat power, Hela is equivalent to a kind of frightening chronic poison. The cloud of lifespan reduction hangs over the heads of every enemy, and no one is willing to pay the price!

No one wants the opposing camp to have such a dangerous person, let alone see her continue to grow.

Some super-high-risk abilities, their existence is a sin, and they must be strangled as soon as possible!

Gorutan can be sure that as long as the news spreads, most Beyond Grade As will not want to see this ability continue to exist in the universe!

It can also help Light and Void Spirit strengthen their determination to kill!
