Armor Guardians

Chapter 165 What a pity

"So what if it's billions, tens of billions, or hundreds of billions of years?"

Hearing Xia Qianmeng's words, the purple-haired man, transformed from a supernatural beast, was clearly unconvinced: "If Blue Star truly possesses the kind of profound resources you speak of, why is your human development still so backward? You call a mere cancer an incurable disease. Right, you seem to have even died once because of this disease, right?"

As he spoke, the purple-haired man's tone became increasingly arrogant and sarcastic: "What evidence do you have? If you're so capable, produce evidence like I just did. I want to see what kind of foundation your Blue Star has."

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense as the purple-haired man and Xia Qianmeng's debate progressed, causing the Black Group's high-ranking members watching below to gradually become afraid to breathe heavily.

They weren't sure if it was just their imagination, but they felt the temperature around them getting colder and colder, even though the temperature here was always constant.
"Evidence? The Divine Beast Armor and the Ferocious Beast Armor are the evidence. I read some memories stored in the Candlelight Armor, so I know many secrets you don't know. Of course, I won't tell you everything. You can choose not to believe me. Then let your M77 Nebula Army come over. You've already learned your lesson here once. If you're not afraid of not coming back alive, then come on over."

"Very well, you are the most arrogant human I have ever met. You will pay a heavy price for what you have done."

This time, Xia Qianmeng did not respond.

Looking back at some of the Black Group's high-ranking members whom he had already persuaded, he felt that if he couldn't get the Black Group, he couldn't get it; at worst, he could just rebuild a new one.

"Who among you is willing to leave with me? Once my army arrives and conquers the Blue Star, you will all become superior beings."

"I."

Zhan Tai, who had already become a mutant beast, was the first to respond. He knew that now that he had become like this, Xia Qianmeng, who hated mutant beasts so much, would definitely not let him go. Therefore, he decisively chose to switch sides.

"Very good, wise choice."

The purple-haired man glanced at him, then looked at the other high-ranking members of the Black Group: "Who else?"

"I!"

"And I."

"I'm going too. I'm not going to listen to some little brat."

With the first one taking the lead, more than a dozen other high-ranking members of the Black Group also chose to stand up and leave, and then stand next to the purple-haired man.

Xia Qianmeng simply watched silently and did not stop anything.

"Then, see you later."

Before leaving, the purple-haired man didn't forget to give Xia Qianmeng a triumphant smile. No matter what, as long as he could poach someone from the Black Group and get them to leave, he would be the victor.

At this moment, Xia Qianmeng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"You can go back and relay the message, but they have to stay. You think you can come and go as you please? Where do you think this is?"

Do you have that ability?

The purple-haired man seemed to have guessed that Xia Qianmeng would stop him, so he wasn't too surprised. He glanced back at his three companions and Zhan Taihe, who had already turned into a mutant beast.

"Finally, we can fight. Come on, let me see how much power you have left after you can no longer summon your armor."

Black mist exploded, and a huge stone axe, emanating a black aura, appeared in the hand of the black mutant beast that had spoken earlier. At the same time, the other three mutant beasts, not daring to underestimate Xia Qianmeng's current strength, summoned their weapons and charged towards her together.

Taking advantage of this time, the purple-haired man used a mysterious power to open a black teleportation channel: "Let's go quickly, we'll be responsible for stopping her."

"Gao Fei, you deal with these four."

After saying that, Xia Qianmeng disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already in front of the teleportation channel opened by the purple-haired man. She kicked away the Black Group executive who wanted to be the first to enter the channel and leave.

"Do you really think I'd let you leave as a threat?"

As she spoke, the black aura emanating from Xia Qianmeng suddenly burst forth, an aura that felt very familiar to the purple-haired man and the surrounding mutant beasts.

It was as if they had smelled something delicious.

"That's it, that's it."

The purple-haired man seemed to have realized something, then suddenly covered his eyes and burst into laughter: "I knew it! How could you, a human, possess such powerful energy without relying on armor? It turns out you've been absorbing the energy that was released after we mutant beasts died. You keep saying you can't accept the existence of intruders, but aren't you still using the energy of mutant beasts to fight?"

"How about it? Why don't you join us? Although becoming a mutant beast is considered ugly by your human standards, I don't think you care about that. Becoming one of us will allow you to perfectly utilize the powerful force within your body. Isn't that much better than the Candlelight Armor? You know, you've absorbed the power of tens of thousands of mutant beasts."

"Are you finished?"

"What's your decision? I'm extending this invitation to you in good faith."

Xia Qianmeng couldn't help but laugh again, a mocking laugh: "You're really generous. I've killed so many of your companions, and you still dare to extend this kind of invitation to me."

"It's a dog-eat-dog world. If they're not good enough, that's their problem. Only the strong get the respect they deserve. Aren't you humans the same way?"

"You can't even care about the death of your own people?"

"Didn't you kill your own people before? We're the same kind."

The purple-haired man still had a smile in his eyes. Xia Qianmeng met his gaze. Although Xia Qianmeng was shorter, she showed no sign of weakness.

“That’s different. Mine was revenge.”

"Shouldn't your hatred be directed at the Gold Group? According to your human standards, that female anchor didn't deserve to die, right? To put it bluntly, you're just as cold-blooded as I am."

"Yes. She doesn't deserve to die for now, but what do you think I'll become if I'm still an ordinary person, given the impact she's had on me?"

"I never adopt the mindset of the weak."

"Then there's nothing more to say. I'll put it this way: you definitely can't take the Black Group members with you, and three of you four will have to stay behind."

"If possible, I would really like you to be on our side. In our eyes, we are the same kind of people. It's a pity."

As he spoke, the purple-haired man transformed back into his mutant beast form once more; he was, after all, a mutant beast.
