M City Military Base Aerospace Division Helipad B-3 Stealth Hovercraft
The Celestial Warriors have assembled. Except for An Xiaotian, Lu Sha, and Xu Yicheng, who are still in civilian clothes, the other three have already changed into combat uniforms, waiting for General Jiang and his designated escort team to arrive. However, An Xiaotian soon received news that due to his duties, the General would not be accompanying them to the front lines. Instead, Colonel Gao would take his place.
"Why him?" Jiao An turned around reluctantly, feeling nauseous at the thought of the middle-aged man who was infatuated with her beauty.
"Just this once, sis, bear with it," said Lu Sha, sitting on the boarding rack behind them and casually tossing an empty beer bottle aside. Since arriving at the base, she had been drinking more frequently, but only beer.
Lu Sha was the only one sitting on the boarding rack. She still wore a hat to cover her red hair, sitting with her legs spread apart. Her left arm rested on her thigh, draped in her favorite copper-red coat from the orphanage over a black hoodie. Unlike before, she was now wearing a bulletproof vest, her expression resembling that of a formidable leader.
"Don't drop the ball. If Dr. Xu can't summon Titan, our success or failure hinges on you," Qin Weishan said, aware of the new recruit's temperament but intrigued by it. Since they would be fighting together in the future, it was essential to build a good relationship. He sat beside Lu Sha, attempting to nudge her with his arm, but she deftly avoided him and shot him a glare.
"I won't drop the ball," Lu Sha replied without even looking at Qin Weishan. "Just wait and see."
"Haha, I like people like you," Qin Weishan praised.
"Then tell me what kind of person I am."
"You are very masculine, and you clearly look like a top-notch killer who kills without hesitation! I admire people like you who jump into action at the slightest disagreement and finish off their opponents."
"Really? Heh." Lu Sha engaged with Qin Weishan's conversation again. "Have you ever thought about why I am this way? Maybe... I just want to have an ordinary girl's life."
After saying that, Lu Sha stood up, brushed off the dust from her pants, and walked toward the team members standing ahead to greet the approaching escort team led by General Jiang, marching in a 4x4 formation.
"You actually initiated a conversation with Sasa?" Jiao An exclaimed in surprise as he pulled Qin Weishan up.
"Get lost. I just think this girl is interesting," Qin Weishan replied while watching Lu Sha's back. "She has a similar temperament to mine."
"Who is like you? She's much smarter than you," Jiao An punched Qin Weishan on the shoulder. "She’s the one who killed the most terrifying monsters in the world."
Remembering what Lu Sha had just said to him, Qin Weishan asked Jiao An: "Lu Sha, what's her story?"
Jiao An seemed reluctant to answer but hinted gently: "An orphan modified by Viper."
"Viper?"
"Yeah. And she's a redhead; she was destined to be different from others since birth."
For some reason, a sense of guilt rose within Qin Weishan, even though he hadn't done anything wrong to this newcomer.
"Attention!" shouted An Xiaotian. Except for himself, Qin Weishan, and Jiao An, the other team members—though not military personnel—mimicked his actions and saluted as Colonel Gao approached.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting," said Colonel Gao, surveying The Celestial Warriors. "Just now, General Jiang had a discussion with the escort team and entrusted me to accompany you all. Let's get going! I look forward to your performance."
Jiao An and Qin Weishan exchanged glances; it was clear they were not pleased with Colonel Gao's accompaniment. However, since it was arranged this way, that was no longer an issue. The real challenge was where to land the Hovercraft. During the twenty-minute journey, everyone discussed this matter because Nars had informed them that Dompey's brain was incredibly powerful and could sense any impending threats when fully focused; even if the Hovercraft was stealthy, it would be as if it were completely exposed under radar detection in his perception.
For a while after takeoff, no one spoke; the soundproofing inside the Hovercraft was exceptionally good. A layer of jelly-like gel separated the cabin from external devices, significantly muffling even the sound of the engines and creating a palpable silence inside. But soon, Liu Xuan broke the silence with "Alright, go ahead," drawing everyone's attention toward him as his eyes turned moonlight-colored again.
"Everyone, I must emphasize that our primary goal this time is not to eliminate Dompey."
"Ah?" Lu Sha was a bit surprised. "Then I..."
"He didn't say you weren't needed," An Xiaotian explained. "From a broader perspective, we can choose not to kill Dompey, but we must destroy that Energy Column. If they connect it to the moon, everything will become much more complicated."
In the border forest, a voice called out, "Check the defensive armor structure again, quickly!"
To protect the Energy Column, Dompey had spent the entire night imagining every possible attack on it from Earth—lasers, artillery, bullets, or the Cosmic Energy fluctuations from Nars. He reinforced it with materials left by Emperor Ban Sa and used his Telekinesis to wrap the Energy Column in an outer protective layer, preparing for battle.
"It won't be a problem," Dompey glanced at the stalker. "We're about to wage war across the entire star domain. I'm not afraid of Nars; why should I fear a few Vamulel Humans?"
The morning mist gradually cleared from afar, and the weather finally brightened enough for a figure at three o'clock to become quite distinct. Dompey sensed it and shouted, "They're coming! Prepare for battle!"
The quality of the internal troops was exceptionally high. At the command, all soldiers had formed their ranks in under five seconds, hiding behind pre-arranged or chosen cover. However, the stalker noticed something unusual; instead of blending into the shadows, she stood fifty meters down from the mountaintop on an open grassy area and asked, "Why is there no sound?"
"Our small shuttlecraft is also silent," Dompey replied dismissively.
The stalker felt something was off. She dissolved into her surroundings and slipped into the nearby tree shadows, closely observing the changes.
As the massive silhouette of a Hovercraft drew nearer, Dompey's hands gradually came together as if gathering a ball of energy between them. The air in his palms began to distort as an invisible Force Field accumulated under his control.
"My lord, it should be overhead in about three minutes!" a soldier shouted from behind.
Almost there. Dompey raised his gaze towards the Hovercraft that had appeared above everyone’s heads. He stepped forward and flicked his fingers to send the Force Field flying! The Force Field was invisible and colorless, yet one could still feel the wind surge as it was hurled forth by Dompey. Leaves flew through the air, bushes shook violently, and grass was uprooted and sent soaring into the sky, startling nearby birds.
The invisible Force Field charged straight towards the Hovercraft, striking its lower hull.
"Direct hit!"
The soldiers felt an immediate sense of relief—this battle seemed like it would end without them having to pay with their lives.
However, something strange happened. The invisible Force Field merely stirred up air currents along its path like distortion above flames; this same distortion occurred on the Hovercraft as well. The Hovercraft glided steadily over their heads unscathed, without even a wisp of smoke.
Dompey withdrew his hands in shock as the stalker realized what was happening: "My lord, this is a holographic illusion! They are deceiving us!"
"Infrared detected high-speed moving targets at nine o'clock!" a soldier shouted.
Dompey immediately turned around as a beam of light shot down from above him, grazing his shoulder as it struck behind!
"The target isn't me!" In that instant when the laser illuminated Dompey's profile, he realized that Earthlings were already aware of their intentions. "Not good!"
Knowing he couldn't stop it in time, he watched helplessly as the high-energy beam shot directly at the Energy Column standing behind him on its platform. It burned for a full three seconds; however, even after the laser dissipated completely, the Energy Column remained intact—only a faint hole appeared on its surface where the Psychic Barrier had been breached. This demonstrated just how perfect Dompey’s defensive system for the Energy Column had been set up overnight.
The stalker saw clearly as a red-and-white armored figure crashed down to earth and raised its arm to aim its high-energy laser firing control at Dompey. Inside the orange visor, An Xiaotian's armor AI Xiao Ling was rapidly deconstructing and analyzing the Energy Column's defense system; he needed to buy time for Xiao Ling. Engaging directly would disrupt their plans and distract Xiao Ling from providing real-time updates on armor performance changes.
"What kind of metal is this? Such high-temperature lasers can only cause surface cracking," Fierce Eagle remarked.
"I've never seen this outer layer material before; it contains a large amount of tungsten with about ten percent titanium carbide," Xiao Ling reported. "But this is only concerning the external defenses of the Energy Column; the actual material of the column itself isn't very tough—ordinary explosives could easily destroy it."
"Foolish, you only know metal." Dompey slowly ascended into the air. "Why do the Vamulel people always meddle in others' affairs?"
The Fierce Eagle kept his gun trained on Dompey. "This is our home; how can we not interfere?"
Dompey fell silent, but a dark shadow began to quietly wrap around the Fierce Eagle's armor during their standoff, attempting to bind him. Startled, the Fierce Eagle quickly switched to his retreat cannon, firing a shot into the ground while spreading his wings and activating the Thruster, using the force to propel himself into the sky.
The shadow was torn apart, and a Stalker immediately emerged from it, coldly gazing at the airborne Fierce Eagle.
Before this mission, Nars had been helping An Xiaotian develop an entirely new armor system, codenamed "Crimson Phoenix." Considering that An Xiaotian's Fierce Eagle armor had become too heavy due to its emphasis on firepower, Nars took over seventy blueprints of the Fierce Eagle armor and disassembled and restructured them. In just six months, it was completely finished and ready for combat.
This "Crimson Phoenix" armor was significantly lighter than the Fierce Eagle armor, allowing for quicker takeoff and more agile maneuvering. However, it had one major drawback—its defensive attributes and firepower output were reduced. Yet, with an emphasis on close combat, the "Crimson Phoenix" armor offered a more balanced combat mode—adjusting its long-range capabilities allowed An Xiaotian to maximize his individual combat potential.
Therefore, if it were in the past, the Fierce Eagle could have easily countered. But now, wearing the "Crimson Phoenix" armor, An Xiaotian dared not engage in close combat with his enemies; he needed to restrict Dompey's position to minimize close encounters.
Originally, An Xiaotian did not want to wear this armor for the mission. However, considering that only Qin Weishan was available for close combat, he felt uneasy about letting him face Dompey alone—he could not possibly be Dompey's match.
"Are you scared?" The Stalker taunted.
The Fierce Eagle ignored her as he charged energy into the high-energy laser launcher on his arm. He aimed not at Nian Gui Dompey or the Stalker but at the Energy Column!
"You dare!" Nian Gui spread his arms wide as the ground instantly cracked open. Several stones and logs shot up from below under his control, merging into a massive ball of debris hurtling toward the Fierce Eagle! Caught off guard, the Fierce Eagle was struck and knocked down. The Stalker immediately melded into shadows and glided toward him, swiftly pinning him down.
"I don't believe I'm just saving you," Nian Gui said as he raised a force field with his left hand, his index finger pointing directly at the Fierce Eagle. He approached him and asked, "Where's our old friend?"
"That's my old friend." The head of the Crimson Phoenix armor unexpectedly opened on its own as An Xiaotian nonchalantly replied, "By your logic, I guess we're old friends too?"
"You..." Nian Gui never expected to be toyed with by a Vamulel person.
Suddenly, a powerful alert surged through Nian Gui's mind! He glanced instinctively in that direction and shot out his hand like lightning! A Psychic Barrier unfolded instantly, blocking a burst of Cosmic Energy aimed directly at him.
"Who?!" The explosion from Cosmic Energy colliding with the Psychic Barrier startled the Stalker.
"Who else?" A smile crept onto Nian Gui's lips. "Welcome our old friend, Nars."
From beneath the tree shade emerged Blue Face Hero, fists radiating an eerie blue glow. Clad in fish-scale light armor that shimmered in moonlight’s reflection, he generated a Time Portal before him. Slowly withdrawing an elegantly curved Laser Long Curved Blade from his Space-time arsenal, he stood before all internal Humans.
"Fair 2V2? That's not your style," Nian Gui scoffed as he raised his chin disdainfully.
"You have over twenty elite subordinates; are you really going to lecture me about fairness?" Behind Nars stood Divine Fist in silver attire accented with China red tight-fitting gear. He brandished a pair of glowing white tiger-striped fists; sparks flew as they clashed together while he strode forward menacingly. Nightmare loomed beside him in dark purple-black attire, raising the Fate Conqueror sniper rifle; its purple chamber visibly transformed as it closed down. Underneath a helmet that cast a dark green holographic view, cold eyes locked onto the Stalker. The two flanked Blue Face Hero as sparks ignited between them like a tinderbox!
With a thunderous roar, the Fierce Eagle broke free from the Stalker's grasp and stood tall before them. As he landed, every corner of the battlefield resonated with the heavy echo of his armor; he drove his sword deep into the ground. As he rose again, all vents and joints of his armor rapidly sealed shut. Standing tall again with eyes like lightning in an orange viewport!
"Still you four?" Nian Gui shook his head. "You really overestimate yourselves." No sooner had he spoken than soldiers behind him raised their guns and aimed at them all.
"Are you ready?" The Fierce Eagle’s battle sword swept across the grass, kicking up dust as a horn-like command echoed through the sky: "Celestial Warriors, advance!"
