Chapter 836 First Kill
"Let me see how much I've gained~" Han Xiao blinked and opened the data to browse.
Although the Grand Universe Legion's power was a castle in the air, superficial, they had discovered quite a few planets over the years, scattered in several star systems in the central part of the Goru Star Cluster.
Some of these planets were originally inhabited by indigenous civilizations, but they were all enslaved by the Grand Universe Legion. Unlike the fragmentary records of the Red Empire in his previous life, their internal data recorded in detail the process of each plundering operation by the Grand Universe Legion, including video materials, full of killing and blood.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao contacted Commander-in-Chief Tarrokov.
"The Grand Universe Legion's data is in hand, and I've sent you a copy."
"Well done." Tarrokov was delighted, quickly browsed through it, and nodded with a smile, "The empire will remember your contribution."
Before Han Xiao could speak, the panel showed activity.
[You have submitted [Grand Universe Legion Exploration Data]!]
[Red Empire Contribution +1500]
[Personal Exploration Points +550]
[[Shining World, First Ring] Evaluation increased by one small level]
The Shining World main quest is a faction quest. Currently, exploring Goru is the first ring. All players share the quest evaluation, and the quest evaluation depends on the total exploration points of everyone.
This time it was a special exploration achievement. For more than a month of exploration, everyone's quest evaluation was originally D-, but now the evaluation of all players has directly increased to D grade.
It doesn't seem like much, but this is an S+ difficulty main quest, and it takes a long time to improve the evaluation by each small level, and it becomes more difficult later on.
However, the 1500 Red Empire contribution points were the rewards that made Han Xiao excited. Last time, he spent 6000 contribution points to exchange for the ultimate knowledge [Mechanical Life Fire], leaving more than 2000 contribution points.
Now that he has received 1500 contribution points at once, he only needs to acquire more than 2000 points to exchange for a new ultimate knowledge. Because of his status, the cost of exchanging ultimate knowledge is reduced by half. Ordinary players in his previous life needed 12000 points to exchange for one.
However, ordinary players who join the Red Empire can obtain a military rank and continuously improve their military rank by doing tasks, so they can enjoy more and more discounts—but even if they reach the top, they cannot reach his 50% discount.
The hidden quest brought by Maple Moon made him a little richer, and Han Xiao was happy.
Such capable players should not only be rewarded, but also heavily rewarded, to encourage other players to dig out hidden quests.
A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, so it is still worthwhile to explore.
While he was checking the panel, Tarrokov did not stop and said, "This information can save us a lot of manpower. I will have someone enter this data into the star map later. Since you have sent someone to eliminate the Grand Universe Legion, you will temporarily take over their territory. Anyway, you have adopted a decentralized exploration model, so leave a team in the central part of the Goru Star Cluster for development."
"Okay." Han Xiao smiled. This was his incidental purpose.
Compared to the planets in the border star system, the central part of the star cluster is the most prosperous area in the future. This time, in order to eliminate the Grand Universe Legion, the expedition team legitimately established a long-distance channel, so he can directly go to the central area of the star cluster and occupy all the most famous planets from his previous life, secretly crossing the Chencang.
If he occupies the territory first, other imperial allies who participate in the exploration later will not be able to grab it and can only detour. As long as he first takes the most prosperous areas in the star cluster, he will earn the most.
Moreover, with the first long-distance crossing as a foundation, it will not cause others' suspicion if he goes to the eastern part of the star cluster to secretly obtain cosmic treasures in the future.
Tarrokov then said that he would report to the empire and let the empire give rewards, and issue additional resource support to the Black Star Army to help the legion replenish its manpower.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the communication.
Han Xiao connected to Philip's vision, and then he had time to turn his attention to the battlefield far away in multiple star systems to see how the players and Atimo were fighting.
…
Bang bang bang!
Explosions one after another!
The surging crowd rushed towards Atimo in the center along the mountain wall of the crater, like a tide.
Atimo fought alone, shuttling through the crowd to avoid attacks. Countless energy beams were released from all parts of his body, like a mobile turret, shooting towards the surrounding crowd.
Beams of light swept across the crowded battlefield, hitting different locations and causing violent explosions, blowing away figures with shields.
The battle had lasted for a while, and countless players were using their abilities. Various colors of light flickered on the battlefield, and various abilities emerged one after another. The negative status on Atimo's body had never been less than thirty. Although the duration was short, it could not withstand the large number of players, and the negative status was constantly refreshed.
The level gap was too large, Atimo's speed had the advantage, constantly changing positions. The players could not lock on to him all the time, nor could they pull the hatred. It was equivalent to players in different areas randomly facing Atimo's attacks. As long as they encountered them, players who had just reached Grade B would basically not be able to withstand Atimo's damage.
Players usually form a small team of a few or dozens of people in the dungeon to push a dungeon boss. This was the first time that hundreds of thousands of people fought a real person with too high a level together. Each team wanted to grab output, regardless of accidental injuries, and the scene was once chaotic.
The difficulty of this battle was much higher than all players expected. The various tactics thought out before the battle were basically useless and could only be adapted to the situation.
However, the players did not know that the pressure Atimo was under was countless times greater than theirs.
He shuttled through the crowd, originally wanting to use the crowd as a meat shield to make this group of enemies fearful and weaken their attack intensity, but he was surprised to find that this group of people did not care about the life and death of other comrades, and attacked him at the risk of blowing up their comrades.
Even Atimo, who had a gloomy personality, was taken aback by the players. It was clear that he had nowhere to escape and the opponent had already gained the advantage, but they still used this kind of fighting style regardless of casualties!
This was too cold-blooded. The Black Star Army was so unscrupulous!
The players were not afraid of death, and his tactics were useless at all. Atimo could only endure a massive amount of concentrated fire attacks every moment and had to keep consuming energy to maintain the shield.
The players' attack power was only at the level of Grade B, but little things added up. He did not dare to use his body to withstand so much damage, after all, he did not have a strong physique.
His shield could not isolate all the damage, especially the continuous mental power attacks that shook his head. Most of his negative status were caused by mental power masters.
Atimo also had many minor injuries, and his health was slowly decreasing. He did not have high recovery ability. Even if he used energy to stimulate cell division, the regeneration speed could not keep up with the rate of health decline.
Moreover, his energy was being consumed so quickly that he felt that with his current state, the chance of killing all the enemies was becoming increasingly slim.
Although he thought so in his heart, Atimo did not want to sit still and wait for death as long as there was a chance to survive.
"Even if I really can't escape, I will cause huge casualties to your espers!" Atimo said fiercely in his heart.
Even if he was going to die, he would bite off a piece of flesh from the Black Star Army. It just so happened that this group of people was fighting so frantically that he could cause the greatest damage to the enemy.
Atimo flashed and switched to another area. Suddenly, there was a crack under his feet, and he stepped on a series of mechanical traps. The strong magnetic field grabbed his body, generating extremely strong constraints and slowing down his movements.
"Come here, I've caught him!" A player was overjoyed.
Tatatata! The turrets wrapped in different players' machinery around them turned and spewed firepower at Atimo, and a dense barrage of gunfire converged.
Atimo let out a low roar, and the energy shield condensed again. The barrage hit the shield, splashing continuous sparks and broken light.
Boom! His tentacles and fingers shot out energy one after another, and the light beams exploded like a peacock opening its tail, instantly blasting away the surrounding turrets that were attacking him.
Then, he shook his feet, and with a bang, released an energy shock, shattering the mechanical traps that had caught him, regaining his freedom. Atimo was about to retreat when his brain suddenly went dizzy. More than a dozen mental power masters rushed over and threw silent mental shocks at him.
For a moment, a large group of martial artists took the opportunity to rush up, and fists wrapped in flames bombarded the shield like cannonballs.
Bang bang bang!
The shield began to flicker and shake. Atimo gritted his teeth. Multiple tentacles swept out like whips, and energy aftermath burst out with the attack trajectory. The huge force sent the entangled martial artists flying out, knocking down a large group of people.
The ground battle was very unfavorable to him. Atimo tried to fly again, but only a dozen meters off the ground, he felt a huge pressure and his movements became extremely slow.
Looking up, there were countless magic arrays suspended in the sky, superimposed with countless layers of anti-air spells.
Even if the spells of Grade B mages were superimposed, it would be difficult to trap a Calamity Grade, but it would take Atimo a lot of time to pass through the anti-air field. He did not dare to do so because it was easy to become a target.
Moreover, even if he flew up, if he did not kill this group of pursuers, they would still chase after him in spaceships. He did not think his flight speed was faster than spaceships, so where could he escape on this planet?
The two sides fought a bloody battle. He did not know how long they had fought, and Atimo was exhausted.
He could not remember how many enemies he had killed, maybe tens of thousands, and the number of his own people accidentally injured by the opponent was probably several times more than what he had killed.
"A bunch of lunatics!" Atimo spat out a mouthful of blood and continued to fight with his heavy body.
His energy was running out, he was exhausted, and his injuries were getting worse and worse.
"It seems I have no chance..." Atimo's heart sank to the bottom, and then he became even more fierce.
At least, the enemy has also suffered heavy casualties. Even if he dies, he will drag a group of people down with him!
However, at this time, Atimo dodged another concentrated fire, looked at the still dense crowd around him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, suddenly realized an abnormality that he had been immersed in the battle and had been ignoring.
He had been fighting for so long and should have killed many enemies. It was clear that the enemy had no reinforcements, so why... Did the number of enemies seem to have remained the same? !
Atimo was stunned.
In his worldview, if a person died, then they must be completely dead. There was no concept of resurrection in his mind, so he did not have the consciousness to observe specifically. And the battlefield was so chaotic, with as many as 300,000 enemies, he simply had no time to distinguish who he had encountered. In addition, he was in a very dangerous situation, so he buried his head in hard fighting and could not be distracted, so he only noticed this abnormality now.
Noticing this situation, Atimo paid attention to it for a while, and suddenly his face changed drastically.
"This group of people... are actually immortal?!"
Atimo's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. Deep despair, like a lightning bolt, pierced through his whole body in the blink of an eye, and a deep sense of powerlessness emerged in his heart.
No wonder, no wonder they don't care about casualties. It turns out that this group of people has no concept of "casualties" at all...
He thought he had caused heavy damage to the enemy, but it turned out to be just his wishful thinking. His resistance... was just a futile struggle...
If it was just that there were many enemies, Atimo would still have the desire to fight desperately, but when he discovered that the enemies could actually be resurrected, Atimo's mentality collapsed, he was completely desperate, and his fighting spirit disappeared.
"Ah--" Atimo no longer had any luck, roared to the sky, and released all the remaining energy in his body without reservation.
Boom!
More than a dozen thick beams of light swept across, killing anyone they touched. In an instant, they swept out blank areas in the battlefield. This one strike alone killed tens of thousands of players.
"Attention! Everyone lie down, this should be the final stage of the Boss, and it's about to enter the execution line!"
Teams of players hurriedly transformed into groundhogs. The beam of light swept over their heads, and the scorching energy aftermath alone caused them a certain amount of damage.
The dozen or so beams of light quickly dissipated. After shooting all the essence, Atimo finally drained himself, swaying, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.
Bang!
The next moment, a shell blew Atimo to the ground. Seeing this, many players were invigorated and hurriedly got up, rushing towards Atimo in a swarm, vying for a favorable position, and pouring out their output on Atimo.
Atimo, who had almost lost his ability to resist, was like a rag doll being snatched by a group of people. His hands and feet were quickly torn off, allowing the players to abuse his body. His eyes became more and more dull. The faces of the players around him were as terrifying as demons in his eyes.
On the verge of death, Atimo suddenly had a hallucination. The faces of these players changed, as if they had all turned into his face for a moment.
He was in a trance for a while, and his plundering career for so many years flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt a little emotional.
Is this retribution...
Puchi!
The next moment, his vision spun, and his head was pulled off by someone. The light in Atimo's eyes quickly disappeared, leaving only a gray and white color, losing the breath of life.
"Hahaha! The kill reward is ours!"
The players of the Dynasty team burst into cheers.
Tai Erzi's face was ecstatic. Excited, he casually waved Atimo's head, and Wang Hou Jiang Xiang shook his head helplessly beside him.
"Tsk, it's actually Dynasty."
"I died three times and didn't even touch a hair. It's a huge loss."
"Why don't we kill them here?"
The professional player teams of other guilds glared at Dynasty.
Liejiu Vodka and Captain Henry were a little disappointed that the Boss reward was taken away by the wealthy club. It would be better if it was given to some other small clubs. I am afraid that Dynasty will be a strong enemy in this league again.
During the melee just now, they kept attacking the Chinese players' team, wanting to pretend to be accidentally injuring their teammates, but they also found that they were also accidentally injured a lot, and the average number of deaths was about three times... They estimated that they were also targeted by the Chinese guilds, hurting each other.
Although ordinary players did not get the reward, they were also very excited.
--Atimo, this is the first real Calamity Grade Boss to die at their hands!
This is the players' first kill of a Calamity Grade!
On the other side, Han Xiao also received a report from Philip and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally killed a Calamity Grade..."
If it were a Calamity Grade like Ashen, the players would not be able to kill him even if they used up all their resurrection times.
But Atimo did not have such perverted abilities. He was just an ordinary Calamity Grade. Philip caused his spaceship to crash, but the players had spaceships to chase after him, so he had nowhere to escape. He could only face more than 300,000 players head-on, and the players already had Grade B combat power, which was enough to achieve qualitative change. Atimo could only die in the end.
In Han Xiao's eyes, this event was a milestone achievement for the players and a turning point in the players' thinking.
In his previous life, the players did not kill their first Calamity Grade until Version 4.0. After that, the players knew that they had the combat power to threaten ordinary Calamity Grades, and their mentality changed, becoming more confident... and more reckless.
This was unavoidable. The players' subjective initiative was too strong, and this kind of thinking would arise sooner or later, but the impact on Han Xiao was currently very limited. His combat power and power could suppress the little demons in most players' hearts.
He deliberately let the players deal with Atimo in order to let them kill a Calamity Grade as members of the Black Star Army and turn it into an achievement of the legion... If it were not for Philip's help, they would not be able to stop Atimo from escaping, and they would not be able to kill the first Calamity Grade Boss.
Therefore, this first kill was not only the result of the players, but also the crushing of the faction. As long as the players understand this, it will instead increase the sense of belonging to the faction of some players.
Moreover, this first kill was a milestone event and also a collective action of the legion. Through the memory of collective events, it may be possible to enhance the bond of many people to the legion.
