God and Demon Killing Platform: I can summon the gods of China

Chapter 316: A New Enemy Appears and Shocks Everyone

The red coordinates on the screen flickered ominously, casting an eerie light on the nervous faces around the console.

Before anyone could voice their growing uneasiness, a figure emerged from the shadows, as if woven from the darkness of the room.

He stood tall and majestic, emanating an aura of power that weighed down on them like a substantial weight.

This was no ordinary being; this was a predator.

An invisible energy flickered in the air, silently proving the powerful presence of this newcomer.

"Interesting." The man named Leo finally spoke, his voice deep and loud, seeming to vibrate in their bones.

His sharp and calculating eyes scanned the group of people and stayed on Zhang Cheng for a moment.

"I think you took something that belongs to me."

This unspoken threat hangs in the air.

Star Knight, always a reckless fighter, took a step forward, his hand instinctively reaching for the weapon at his waist.

"Who in the galaxy do you think we took your things?" he growled, a low roar of defiance in his voice.

Leo let out a dry, unamused chuckle.

"You misunderstood. I'm not asking. I'm taking." He pointed at the console, his eyes fixed on the flashing red coordinates.

"That device. It's mine."

A tense silence fell.

Zhang Cheng had always been a strategist, and he felt a cold lump forming in his stomach.

This new Leo exuded a dangerous confidence, a chilling certainty that sent chills down his spine.

His heart sank, knowing that they were facing a powerful enemy.

"You'll have to get past us first," Star Knight spat, his hands tightening around his weapon.

The air crackled again, thick with anticipation.

A battle is about to break out.

Leo smiled, a slow, predatory grin that sent shivers down their spines.

"Oh, I had no intention of doing that..." He said softly, with an unsettling calmness in his voice.

"Unless..." He paused, an unsettling gleam in his eyes, "...you reject my offer." Leo's grin widened, becoming slightly reptilian.

"Imagine," he rumbled, his voice thick with false sincerity, "the power we could command if we joined forces. The secrets this device holds... they would be ours. Share it with me, join me, and together we will rule the galaxies."

Star Knight snorted, his hand never leaving his weapon.

"Rule? And you? You're nothing but a glorified thief!"

The Lightbringer added with contempt in his voice, "We would never betray the principles of the Star Seekers for such a... vulgar proposal." Even the usually quiet Nebula Sage shook his head, his expression a mixture of disgust and pity.

"Your proposal is rejected. Leave now before you regret it."

Leo's playfulness disappeared, replaced by a chilling coldness.

"That's it." He snapped his fingers, and the air around him flickered.

Suddenly, the Star Knight screamed and clutched his chest tightly, as if he was hit by an invisible force.

Before anyone could react, Sage Nebula gasped and a thin stream of blood flowed down his chin.

He was also struck by an unseen force.

"What kind of sorcery is this?!" the Light Messenger screamed and rushed to the Star Knight.

Leo just smiled, a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"This is just a small display of my strength. Imagine what I can do." He continued to tease them, and the attacks became more frequent and more powerful.

Although the Star Knight and the Nebula Sage worked together to resist, they were still struggling to resist this endless stream of invisible attacks.

Amid the chaos, a panicked voice yelled, "The shields are failing! The defense matrix is collapsing!" It was Mechanic Ali, his voice strained with effort, as he desperately tried to repair the rapidly deteriorating defenses.

Suddenly, despite his own injuries, Nebula Sage successfully deflected one of Leo's attacks.

He stumbled back a few steps, clutching a small, gleaming fragment that seemed to have been broken off by some unseen force.

He held the fragment up, his eyes widening as understanding dawned on him.

"Energy signature..." he gasped, his voice weak but urgent, "It's...it's..." The crimson coordinates flickered, like an evil heart beating on the console screen.

Before the tense atmosphere could crystallize into words, a figure emerged from the shadows, as if darkness itself had taken form.

He was tall and imposing, radiating power, and a palpable sense of oppression descended upon the gathered Star Seekers.

This is Leo, and he is no ordinary man; he is a predator.

"How interesting," Leo's voice echoed, a low hum vibrating in their bones.

Sharp, calculating eyes swept across the crowd and stopped on Zhang Cheng.

"I believe you are holding something that belongs to me."

Star Knight was always impulsive, and his hair stood on end.

His hands instinctively went to his weapon.

"Who in the universe are you? What makes you think we have your stuff?"

A dry, humorless chuckle escaped Leo's lips.

"You misunderstood. I'm not asking. I'm taking." He pointed at the console, his eyes fixed on the flashing red coordinates.

"That device. It's mine."

The silence hung heavy, filled with unspoken threats.

A cold fear swirled in Zhang Cheng's heart.

This Leo exudes a dangerous confidence, a chilling certainty.

"You'll have to get past us first," Star Knight spat, tightening his grip on his weapon.

The air crackled and was filled with the smell of impending violence.

Leo smiled, his lips curving in a slow, predatory way.

"Oh, I dare not think..." He said softly, with an unsettling calmness in his voice.

"Unless, of course..." His eyes flashed an evil light.

"...You rejected my proposal."

The predator's smile widened.

"Imagine," Leo whispered, his voice now filled with false sincerity, "the power we can wield together. The secrets this device unlocks… they will be ours. Share it, join me, and we will rule the galaxies."

Star Knight snorted. "Rule? And you? You're nothing but a space pirate!"

The Lightbringer's voice was filled with disdain.

"We would never betray the principles of the Star Seekers for such a...vulgar proposal." Even the usually quiet Nebula Sage shook his head, his face full of disgust and pity.

Zhang Cheng walked forward, his eyes narrowed.

Leo's amusement was gone, replaced by an icy coldness.

"That's it." He snapped his fingers.

The air shimmered.

Star Knight yelled, clutching his chest as if struck by an invisible blow.

He stumbled back, his face twisted in agony.

Before anyone could react, a drop of blood appeared on Nebula Sage's chin.

He was also hit.

"What kind of sorcery is this?!" the Light Messenger screamed and rushed to the Star Knight.

Leo smiled cruelly.

"Just a little demonstration. Imagine what I can do." His invisible attacks continued, increasing in frequency and power.

Although Star Knight and Nebula Sage fought together, they were unable to defend themselves.

A panicked voice cut through the chaos.

"The shield fails! The defense matrix collapses!" It was the Protoss scholar Ali, his voice was nervous.

Suddenly, despite being injured, Nebula Sage deflects one of Leo's attacks.

He stumbled back, clutching a gleaming shard that had been torn from an unseen force.

His eyes widened with realization.

"Energy signature..." he gasped, his voice weak but urgent, "It's... it's... Tokion radiation!" The crimson coordinates flickered ominously, and under its strange light, the anxious faces around the console were reflected in red.

Before the unspoken tension could become words, a figure coalesced from the shadows, as if woven from the darkness of the room.

He was tall and majestic, emanating a kind of power, a palpable sense of oppression pressing down on them.

This was no ordinary man; this was a predator.

The air crackled, silently testifying to his awesome presence.

"How interesting." The man named Leo finally spoke, his voice low and loud, buzzing and vibrating their bones.

His sharp and calculating eyes swept across the crowd and stayed on Zhang Cheng for a moment.

"I want you to hold what belongs to me."

The unspoken threat hung heavy in the air.

Star Knight, ever impulsive, took a step forward, his hand instinctively reaching for his weapon.

"Who the hell are you in the universe to make such a request?" he roared, his voice full of provocation.

Leo chuckled, a dry, humorless sound.

"You misunderstood. I'm not asking. I'm demanding." He gestured toward the console, his eyes fixed on the flashing red coordinates.

"That device. It's mine."

A tense silence fell.

As a counselor, Zhang Cheng felt a cold fear swirling deep in his heart.

Leo exuded a dangerous confidence, a chilling certainty that sent chills down his spine.

They were facing a powerful enemy.

"You have to get past us first." Star Knight spat, gripping his weapon tightly.

The air crackled and was filled with an explosive atmosphere.

The battle is about to break out.

Leo smiled, a slow, predatory smile that chilled them to the bone.

"Oh, I don't intend to..." He said softly, with an unsettling calmness in his voice.

"Unless, of course..." He paused, an unsettling gleam in his eyes, "...you reject my *proposal*."

His grin widened, becoming almost reptilian.

"Imagine," he said in a tone of unctuous false sincerity, "the power we could wield *together*. The secrets this device holds… they could *be ours*. Share it, join me, and we will rule the galaxies."

Star Knight snorted. "Rule? And *you*? You're nothing more than a space pirate!"

The Messenger of Light also said with disdain: "We will never betray the Star Explorers for such a... vulgar proposal." Even the usually quiet Nebula Sage shook his head, his face full of disgust and pity.

Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.

"Your proposal is rejected. Leave now while you still can."

Leo's pleasure disappeared, replaced by an icy chill.

"That's it." He snapped his fingers and the air flickered.

The Star Knight screamed and clutched his chest tightly, as if he was hit by an invisible force.

He stumbled back a few steps, his face twisted in pain.

Before anyone could react, the Nebula Sage gasped and a drop of blood flowed down his chin.

He was also hit.

"What kind of attack method is this?!" the Light Messenger screamed and rushed to the Star Knight.

Leo just smiled, a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"Just a little demonstration. Imagine *how much more* I can do." His invisible attacks became fiercer, more frequent, and more powerful.

Although the Star Knights and the Nebula Sages fought together, they were unable to protect themselves.

In the chaos, a panicked voice shouted: "The shield fails! The defense matrix collapses!" This was the voice of Protoss scholar Ali, and it sounded very labored.

Suddenly, Nebula Sage, ignoring his own injuries, blocked one of Leo's attacks.

He stumbled back a few steps, clutching a small, gleaming fragment that seemed to have been broken off by some unseen force.

He held up the shard, his eyes widening as understanding dawned on him.

"This energy signal..." He panted weakly but urgently, "It's...it's...*Spacetime Sub-Radiation!*"

I focused on streamlining the writing, building up the tension, and adding a small suspenseful reveal at the end.

I also worked hard to make the dialogue more lively and more in line with the characteristics of each character.

Hopefully this provides a good jumping-off point for the next part of the story!
