Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 237 Super Soldier Company - Close Combat!

"Anything else you want to ask?" Dio asked Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then looked at the big screen with Dio.

The initial battlefield between the Earth Alliance and the Taotie.

Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and Du Qiangwei led their respective teams into the Taotie flagship to carry out a decapitation strike.

Of course, to put it simply, this can also be considered a stepping stone.

However, it differs from the crude and straightforward boarding maneuvers of Warhammer.

This time, stealth fighters were used for covert infiltration.

Upon reaching the solar energy shield outside the Taotie flagship, Du Qiangwei relied on long-range firepower to expose the shield, then immediately opened a micro-wormhole and sent herself and the aircraft inside.

Just like during the Battle of Tianhe.

With Du Qiangwei's current fourth-generation divine body's inherent computing power and the assistance of her dark alloy armor, she can easily move everyone else, except when she is struggling to move the three major god-making projects.

Liu Chuang, on the other hand, relied on Ge Xiaolun's Void Engine to directly shut down the shield of the enemy flagship and then violently broke through the outer armor.

Aside from Du Qiangwei's silent and stealthy attacks, the other two teams' invasions were quite brutal.

Overall, everything went smoothly.

Those who enter are all selected as the strongest.

Furthermore, this operation, in addition to carrying out a decapitation strike, also served as a training exercise for troops.

As a martial artist who has learned the Devouring Star Technique, it is difficult to achieve anything without experiencing the true tempering of life and death.

To be honest, the fact that China had so many planetary-level martial artists really frightened Dio. After all, given the current situation on Earth, these martial artists probably had never experienced the kind of pressure that comes with a life-or-death situation.

Inside the flagship store.

These Taotie soldiers wore thick power armor, which became lighter and lighter as they progressed, and the last ones were even equipped with phase armor!

This armor of Dio was made lightweight, after all, it was immune to damage.

It can even connect to armor for high-frequency mode, greatly enhancing physical capabilities, and even wield a Gauss weapon from the Necromancer version of the Warhammer universe.

The Taotie's physical condition is in a class of its own.

In the entire known universe, once a Taotie reaches adulthood, its physical abilities are comparable to those of a first-generation super soldier. Second-generation super soldiers, who are generally not skilled in close combat, cannot fight it head-on.

Wearing the same power armor as in the original storyline would be enough to rival a typical second-generation super soldier!

Such physical abilities are rare even in the entire known universe!

Their army is renowned for its strict military and political discipline.

They are armed to the teeth, both psychologically and physically; they are a natural-born warrior race.

Their strength was so great that even the armies of ordinary civilizations could not completely overwhelm them.

Looking at the surface stats alone, the Taotie are indeed incredibly strong, but they are also living beings, and they are not as calm and efficient in direct combat as the Astartes.

Faced with an enemy that is difficult to defeat in a short time, they will simply retreat.

Like now.

Although these Taotie encountered problems during gene enhancement and could not upgrade as desired, their original purpose was to serve as a suicide squad.

They shouted slogans loudly when they set out for battle, but after several men died in actual combat, the entire formation fell into disarray.

Even the Taotie, who was standing at the back wearing phase armor, somehow ended up at the front. The attacks from the Super Soldier Squad even passed through the bodies of these Taotie and hit the Taotie behind them.

Since this was the first time the martial arts troops had been on the battlefield, they were still equipped with high-strength firearms that could keep up with the speed of a martial artist's reaction time.

However, because nuclear fusion gunpowder is too dangerous, they still use laser weapons, and Ge Xiaolun has pushed the firing rate and intensity to the maximum he can achieve.

The power was so great that a single volley of fire was enough to melt through these Taotie beasts before they could even pull the trigger of the Gauss weapon.

All that was left were the Taotie beasts clad in phase armor, trembling in fear.

Dio's face was gloomy as he looked off the screen.

Dio's expression was off, but Sun Wukong's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

Through years of training, continuous updates to technology and techniques, and even intensified military training.

Fifty years of effort.

Even if these gluttons were destined to be abandoned, they themselves knew it.

And then this kind of accident happens right at the last minute?!

Dio glanced at Sun Wukong and slapped him.

"Snapped!"

Sun Wukong was unable to dodge in time and was flung back to Earth by Dio's giant clock.

It crashed hard into the middle of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Dio took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. He comforted himself that these gluttons were already inferior goods meant to be discarded, so there was no need to get angry because of their behavior.

"Nusa," Dio called to his men, having transformed back into Karl's appearance.

Nusa ran in from outside after hearing the call.

"My God."

Accompanied by a cloud of black mist, Nusa appeared on the floor in front of him.

Dio didn't say anything, but sent him the video.

Nusa glanced at it and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that the Taotie, as the vanguard, were a group of people who were destined to be abandoned, but he never expected this to happen.

It should be noted that Taotie's fearsome reputation stemmed from its strict military and political discipline.

However, he also knew that this group of gluttons probably wanted to vent their anger before they died, since they were definitely going to die anyway, so they weren't afraid of being blamed by Karl or their superiors afterward.

"Send out the video. The battle went poorly. Let the Taotie have a good look." Dio waved his hand, dismissing Nusa.

Nusa lowered his head and stepped back, not daring to speak.

In subsequent battles, the Taotie clearly became more proactive.

The elite troops, inside whichever flagship they were on.

"The firepower of these Taotie beasts is not right!" Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang immediately sensed something was amiss due to their different combat styles.

"Xiao Lun, how are things on your end?!"

Liu Chuang was unable to lift his head because he had been suppressed by the Gaussian rays, and it was only through close combat by the martial artists that he was able to break free.

However, Ge Xiaolun did not respond at all.

Liu Chuang panicked and quickly called out, "Xiao Lun! Xiao Lun!"

"……what!"

It took Ge Xiaolun a while to come to his senses after being called for so long.

"Xiao Lun, what are you doing?!" Liu Chuang roared angrily.

After a moment of silence, Ge Xiaolun said, "...They turned to ashes."

"They were right in front of me; I didn't even have time to react and save them..."

Liu Chuang fell silent, and Du Qiangwei's use of the micro-wormhole to kill the enemy also slowed down slightly.

Gauss weapons directly decompose organic matter into dust in a process that is almost irreversible and extremely fast!

Ge Xiaolun, who had never seen such a scene before, was dumbfounded.

Over the years, he has only been on the battlefield a handful of times, but he considers himself mature enough. However, he genuinely didn't react immediately to this situation.

"...What about the casualties?" Liu Chuang asked.

"Fortunately, I realized later that there were only two people..." Ge Xiaolun didn't continue, and Liu Chuang and the others also found out.

Relieved, Liu Chuang comforted Ge Xiaolun and continued his advance, while Du Qiangwei subtly increased the speed at which she killed the enemy.
