Witch Special

There were five energy points on Meluzagarudo's body, five round beads the size of rice grains. When Lin Zhenxi removed all five small, turbid white beads from Meluzagarudo's body, they immediately knocked away Lin Zhenxi's fingers, flew out of Lin Zhenxi's hand, and rushed straight into the sky, in the direction of the spacecraft.

Lin Zhenxi also sensed that when the five round beads were gathered together, they were connected to each other. The fluctuation of a soul connected them into a whole, allowing them to be dispatched in a unified manner.

Is this... a soul's support? Lin Zhenxi's eyes lit up. Although this thing wasn't mysterious, its function and working principle were the same as the magic crystal she used to store souls when she made the final version of the Wild Hammer.

Interesting, is this the result of natural evolution, or is it artificially created?

Now that it was in Lin Zhenxi's hands, it wouldn't be easy to escape. Lin Zhenxi raised his wand and swung it downwards.

"Come back!"

The Flying Spell was Lin Zhenxi's most proficient spell. It could even lift a multi-ton rock, so grabbing a few small, rice-sized beads was naturally effortless. No matter how they struggled, an irresistible invisible force pulled them back from the sky, where they were then captured in a small glass bottle by Lin Zhenxi, who had been waiting there.

This was the bottle Lin Zhenxi used to store her magic essence. It could even withstand the high pressures required to keep it in liquid form, so you could imagine how sturdy it was. The five small beads were still a bit unruly after being placed inside the bottle, but no matter how hard they hit it, the bottle easily withstood the impact.

This was a soul item, and it couldn't be stored in a spatial cube. The moment it was placed inside, its spirituality would be wiped out. If this alien's regenerative ability relied on its soul, and it were gone the moment it was placed inside the spatial cube, how embarrassing would that be? Fortunately, the bottle was small enough, so Lin Zhenxi simply pocketed it, intending to hand it over to Kinos once this matter was over.

Lin Zhenxi was intrigued by that regenerative ability, comparable to immortality, so it was inevitable that Kinos would be interested as well. Understanding its nature and then striving to apply it to mass-produced models was Kinos's first mission, as Lin Zhenxi had assigned it.

Next, Lin Zhenxi lifted the magical effect of the hardening spell, and then saw that the alien's body, after losing its energy points, melted directly into a pool of blood, including the piece in Bang's hand.

Bangu's hands were covered in blood, but he didn't dare say anything. He could only rub his hands on his clothes.

Even though the ground had already begun cleaning up the battlefield, detaining prisoners and rescuing the wounded, the battle wasn't over yet. Above everyone's heads, Tornado and Drive Knight were still engaged in a fierce battle with a swarm of alien flying insects. Child Emperor, after freeing up his hands, joined in. Although he didn't have the flying ability of the first two, he had assembled a very cool small mecha and was now frantically unleashing a barrage of bullets at the swarm of flying insects in the air.

At this point, the difference in strength between the heroes can be seen. It can be seen that Drive Knight has really tried his best, and the jet nozzle of the fighter plane he transformed into has begun to burn white, but to be honest, in the battlefield in the air, his role is really not that great.

After depleting all of its ammunition, the Drive Knight could only begin to shuttle through the air, attacking the alien insects with piercing sound waves. This was at best a harassing harassment, and its actual killing efficiency was extremely poor, far inferior to Tornado.

When the alien flying insects that covered the sky and the sun flew out of the spaceship, it was Tornado who erected a hard mental barrier in the air, which trapped the headquarters of the Hero Association and a large area nearby like a dome, preventing the alien flying insects from attacking the ground directly and forcing them to deal with her first.

Then came Tornado's solo show. His powerful telekinesis ripped through the sky, sometimes light and sharp, sometimes heavy and dense, leaving the alien insects wailing and screaming for help. Each of Tornado's attacks would inevitably clear all the alien insects within a small area of ​​air. If they weren't so scattered, Tornado could have squeezed them all together into a single, indistinguishable ball.

After the battle on the ground ended and Child Emperor freed himself to clear the enemies in the sky, Tornado removed the protective shield protecting the ground. Previously, Tornado had been distracted by protecting the ground from the swarm of alien flying insects, which had occupied most of his mental energy, allowing him to exert only 50% of his full strength. Now, he could finally let go.

Not only has Tornado's offensive power increased, but Child Emperor's mecha on the ground is also incredibly effective at killing enemies. Unlike the Drive Knights, who still rely on chemical ammunition, Child Emperor has begun to employ energy weapons extensively. While there's no clear advantage or disadvantage between energy weapons and physical ammunition in terms of single-shot lethality, energy weapons offer far less worry when it comes to ammunition storage.

This also makes Child Emperor far more durable than Drive Knight. Relying on the advanced energy source, the small mecha driven by Child Emperor directly fires the laser cannon at the speed of a Gatling gun. It looks like two continuously ejected beams of light, constantly cutting at the sky.

In addition to energy weapons, Child Emperor's mecha also features an advanced intelligent targeting system, allowing him to accurately target his beams and prioritize attacking any alien insects approaching the ground. Even though Tornado removed her psychic barrier, no alien insect could break through Child Emperor's laser beam defenses and reach the ground to attack the human heroes.

Despite the large number of heroes present, only Tornado and the other three were truly capable of anti-aircraft attacks. The remaining S-class heroes were all ground-runners, none of them could fly, and could only stare at the enemies in the sky, or throw rocks at them, like monkeys.

There were a few A-class heroes who had the ability to fly or perform long-range attacks, but after looking at the efficiency of the three S-class heroes in killing monsters, they silently gave up the idea of ​​helping and concentrated on dealing with the alien captives on the ground.

Otherwise, why are they S-level and they are A-level? Look at the gap, it's incomparable.

With the combined efforts of the two big Cs and one soy sauce, the number of enemies in the sky was dwindling at a noticeable rate. It wasn't long before the alien air force that had previously obscured the sky would be completely wiped out.

In fact, there wasn't much time between the time "Meruzagarudo" asked the gunners for artillery support and the time Lin Zhenxi captured "Meruzagarudo". When the gunners on the ship passed the order to prepare for the artillery attack to the loader and returned to their post, they looked down and were stunned. How could "Meruzagarudo" disappear in the time it took to shout?

This was the highest-ranking fighter of the pirate group, the immortal "Melzagardo", one of the three major cadres. He was a super fighter who helped the Dark Matter Pirates conquer countless planets. How could he be killed on this unknown and backward planet?

The gunner leader who was originally laughing at "Melzagardo" finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Although at least half of their pirate group's forces had not been sent out, it was easy to raise miscellaneous soldiers but difficult to find cadres, and the loss of a cadre was heavy enough.

What would happen to it if anyone knew that it had deliberately delayed the bombardment, leading to the defeat and death of the "Meruza Garudo"? The thought of this made the gunner's eyes turn red with anxiety. He glanced at his subordinates, each of whom looked like a traitor who would go and tell on someone.

"Bombard immediately, quickly!"

"But boss, the artillery loading work has only been completed 37%." An alien with two tentacles on his head and eyeballs on the tentacles said among the gunners.

"Never mind all that. Let's fire the loaded cannon first. Aim for the spot where the 'Meruzagarudo' last disappeared." The gunner's foreman pounded the control panel in front of him, making a banging sound. "Do it, now!"

Intimidated by their foreman's usual authority, the gunners immediately began to carry out their leader's orders, which were not in line with operational standards. Just as Tornado and Child Emperor were about to clear all the alien flying insects from the sky, the spaceship overhead made another new move.

As the covers were lifted one by one, countless gun muzzles were revealed once again. Looking at the gun holes overhead, each as big as a water tank, everyone's scalp tingled with fear.

Seeing that the vanguard has failed, is the spacecraft finally ready to bomb the ground again?

At this point, even as the human heroes were about to celebrate their victory, they suddenly realized that they had defeated only the alien landing force, which was merely a scouting expedition. The real trouble was still hanging in the sky, and they had no idea what was happening inside the spacecraft.

Of the open emplacements on the spacecraft, about 40% had something emerging from them, resembling ripe lotus pods, while the majority were empty. The spacecraft overhead gave the humans below no time to react. Once the massive shells were loaded, they were launched towards the ground, propelled by balls of blazing fire.

Such a large warhead would be enough to crush a person into a pulp just by hitting them, not to mention that the shells must be filled with dangerous substances. If they were allowed to fall to the ground, I'm afraid no one below would survive.

The human side went from victory to total annihilation so quickly that it caught everyone off guard.
