Chapter 89: Four Powerful Cards in Hand!
Translator: Noodletown_ Editor: Noodletown_, Jacky
The room in the Level 7 Floating Tower dimmed into darkness. Han sat down in the darkness, pulled out an automatic water collection cup and energy bar and started eating in small chunks.
The China region on earth was rich with people who had spoiled mouths (TL: as in they are very picky with food). Yet although Han was Chinese, his non-pickiness for food almost reached an outrageous extent. This time exploring the A-19, he only brought two things, water and energy bars.
The water collection cup was a small and black light fiber texture cup. It could automatically collect moisture from the air and convert it into pure drinking water through its condensation system.
As for the energy bar, it was a dark red emergency food that was rich in protein and all kinds of vitamins. A small bar was enough to ensure a soldier’s energy consumption for a day.
The vast majority of soldiers all hated this type of superiorly effective energy bars because it tasted so bad. It was like chewing up plastic, scentless and tasteless. It was designed that way so that when you eat you won’t be discovered by monsters that had a keen sense of smell.
Food that was like chewing on wax, Han was actually having a good time eating it. From a certain perspective, you could say that he had high tolerance and could endure more hardship than an average soldier.
Suddenly, eerie sounds came from the darkness. After the inside of the floating tower completely darkened, some lives hidden inside the tower began to appear.
“Eye of Darkness!”
Han whispered inside his heart, and when he opened his right eye again, his eye had completely turned black.
By observing with his dark power, Han saw many strange creatures. They were clearing up the battlefield, dragging those opponents that Han killed into the depths of the tower, into some sort of cleaning machine. There was the sound of bones and flesh getting minced.
Han was shocked. So the existence of Orcs was not virtual, but real! What he just killed were all living creatures!
As for the things that were clearing up the battlefield, they were very strange with a shining lit region on their chest. It should be their energy source so they might actually be a bunch of robots.
Han was lost in thought, ever since he entered the domain, he felt something was strange here. The words were written in the Milky Way Universal language. This could still be explained because mankind originally learned this language from the prehistoric domain.
And then it was the activation of the floating tower. It seemed as if this set of systems from the prehistoric civilization regarded Han’s existence as the same as the beings from the prehistoric civilization. Not only was the A-19 like this, but all the other relics too.
Does this prove that, the prehistoric intelligent beings and humanity were common in a way?
That’s why humans could easily accept everything left behind by the prehistoric domain: their technology, machinery, genetic modification technology, etc.
Speaking of genetic modification technology, dark beasts must be mentioned. They were something created by the prehistoric civilization so they don’t reproduce naturally but were instead, created by automated production systems.
Thinking back to the time Li Yu led the brothers at the Extinction Domain Administration, their goal was actually to find C-level’s biological breeding hub inside the relic and destroy it, otherwise there would always be dark beasts and their number would grow.
Of course, humans can also use the same means to prevent the manufacturing of dark beasts in higher level relics but unfortunately, these A-class relics were way too difficult to manage. As well, the location of the central production facility was also very mysterious. Up until now, there were only a few A-class relics that were compromised and became safe points.
These A-class relics that no longer had dark beasts were all under the control of the 12 permanent members of Milky Way without exception. They vigorously studied the relic interior, and copied the technology that was left behind by the prehistoric civilization, ultimately achieving the superior position of the 12 permanent members today.
Han was thinking, if dark beasts could be manufactured, then what about these Orcs? They should also be manufactured by a Gene development center that also trained these soldiers, right?
Han’s curiosity began to grow, he really wanted to go look at these robots that cleaned up the battlefield and see where those dead Orcs were sent off to? Where are the living Orcs kept? How does this huge floating tower really work?
Thinking back and forth, Han decided to not make any move. Spying on the floating tower’s interior for secrets was no doubt dangerous. If Han wanted to live, then he bettered follow the rules inside this relic.
The robots were really quick at their job, the inside of the floating tower was soon restored to the previous state, and even the odor of dead bodies was gone. The robots all disappeared and everywhere had gone silent.
Looked at the time, Han could rest for another 3 hours. He put two nuclear energy pills inside his mouth, then laid on the cold alloy floor and slowly closed his eyes.
During the short rest, Han had a dream, a very terrifying dream.
He dreamed that the relic was activated by an unknown strength, the gene development center, in addition to manufacturing dark beasts, also began to manufacture even more terrifying fusion creations. Soldiers of mankind fell one after another and the whole relic was in chaos. Han stood on top of a mountain and witnessed the brutal massacre, bodies piled up to be mountains, and blood flowed and formed rivers.
Di…Di…Di…Di…~
The preset alarm clock pulled Han back from the nightmare. After a few minutes the intermediate killing machine test will begin, and Han’s goal was 10 thousand kills! Ten times more than before!
While there were still a few more minutes left, Han practiced a bit of 46 Ensemble.
Under the influence of drugs, Hans physical strength and energy has been completely restored. His high tolerance to toxicity was one of Han’s biggest cards in his hand, allow him to rely on drugs to restore energy.
Kacha~
The whole floating tower lit up again, the height was at least 50 thousand meters, and its diameter was at least 15 thousand meters. It could generate a mix of virtual and real elements to fabricate the battleground, and was one of the miracles left behind by the prehistoric civilization.
The surroundings were changing again. A valley began to appear, and so did rivers and forests.
This was an energy based virtual environment. Each mountain was an energy body, allowing Han to actually climb up. But these mountains didn’t have a physical entity, they were formed by energy beams shot down from all sides of the floating tower coupled with virtual reality technology. A virtual mountain was created with all the characteristics of a real mountain.
As for Han’s opponents, they were real physical entities created using their genetic development technology and they were under the control of the central system. They could be understood as a more advanced version of clones.
Han’s opponents began to appear, they stood up from hills, crawled out from rivers, and walked out from forests. It was definitely more than 10 thousand, and they have surrounded Han.
They were from an alien race again. They had grey white bodies and curved eyes. Their eyeballs were red, and didn’t have any combat suits protecting them so they were half naked.
Their upper bodies were long, and their pair of big legs were even more exaggerated. Full of steel-like muscles, showing that they should be capable of strong jumping abilities and overall mobility.
“F**k, it’s another siege again!” Han looked around and cursed.
The system’s setting in the floating tower was quite annoying. Every time the enemies would surround Han and create a siege battle. If the enemies all came out from one direction, Han could at least save some energy.
But now, enemies could come from all sides!
Shua~
Shua~
Shua~
The siege began! Countless alien enemies rushed straight for Han!
No, they didn’t rush, they bounced!
So, this grey white skinned alien race were all bounce type espers. They were all like grasshoppers, capable of bouncing a few hundred meters high so they could instantly bounce a few hundred meters to appear right in front of Han.
Han was so angry that he wanted to curse. It was as if the floating tower had seen through Han’s weakness and specifically picked opponents that countered Han’s ability.
Bounce type espers’ feature were their burst strength and momentum. This type of enemy was very annoying because momentum was a type of physical attack. Even if Han took away their power, they could still use the momentum they created through the initial bounce to rush to Han’s face.
Han gritted his teeth and his eyes became cold. His fingers lightly touched his ring, and a blade suddenly appeared in his hand. The Silver Moon Crescent blade, the top tier weapon from the Zizhu Empire.
Han’s dark power was really destructive, so Han not only broke the right arm portion of his combat suit, he even slightly bended this priceless weapon.
But, Silver Moon Crescent blade’s edge was still sharp!
In addition, Han didn’t just have Void End, he also knew a forbidden martial art!
The Six Paths of the Void!
They just saw Han’s body twist in a very strange way, and the sharp edge in his hand approached the enemy in a completely unexpected angle and gently came into contact with them.
The sharp edge immediately opened up a huge cut on the enemy’s neck. The enemies would keep charging forward for a few meters, then collapse onto the ground, with their hand covering their neck as their body gradually become cold.
Bounce type espers still had a weakness. When they initiated their jump, they were like a bullet. Although very fast, but they move in a straight line and can’t change their path in the air. Once they pass Han, they can’t stop themselves immediately, and they would continue catapulting tens of meters before coming to a full stop.
This just meant that the bounce type espers were destined to be a live target in the air once they initiated a bounce, as long as Han was agile enough and his edge was sharp enough, he could take their lives before they landed on the ground again!
And Han’s Void End wasn’t completely useless. The four-star Han could take away everyone’s power within a 100-meter radius!
These bounce type enemies must catapult themselves outside of the 100-meter range, or else they won’t be able to do anything anymore. And if bounce type espers couldn’t bounce, then their combat strength will be greatly reduced and they won’t be an opponent for Han.
Gengci~
Gengci~
Han became completely mercilessly. Whether they were fusion beings or clones, he needed to kill them first!
The enemies that bounced over were killed midair, and enemies that ran towards Han were killed before they even got close!
In a blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
The Silver Moon Crescent Blade in Han’s hand began to quickly reap the lives of enemies!
“Sensory pill, double dose!”
Pop~
Two pill instantly went into Han’s mouth, drastically improving Han’s perception ability.
Faced with these high jumping enemies, Han’s perception and reflexes became extremely important. Due to Han’s unique tolerance for toxins, he could rely on drugs to force his perception to be more sensible, and his moves to be more agile!
During the first test, Han, on average, killed one enemy every minute.
But this time, he was killing one every few seconds.
Kill!
Desperately kill!
Kill without having to worry about anything!
Han was currently shouldering a huge responsibility; he was shouldering the hope of the entire Earth!
If becoming an emotionless killing machine was what is took to save Earth from being colonized, then Han will become the most merciless killer in the0Milky Way! He won’t frown no matter how many he kills!
In fact, Han’s ability to kill was more powerful than he expected.
Because he not only had the Void end, but also the power of half of the Heart of Darkness, the power of Six Paths of Void, and also the super tolerance for toxins!
Exactly four powerful cards in hand!
