Annihilated with One Slash

The people in the underground fortifications are still assembling.

Feiwa heard another unusual sound in her ear, her slender fingers lightly pressing against her ear canal, her expression quickly becoming serious.

"Captain! The entire 7th Squad has been wiped out!"

"What!?"

"How is this possible!?"

Davis stared in disbelief, his prosthetic eye Scarlet Blink.

Before he could ask any further questions, an alarm suddenly went off throughout the underground fortifications.

"WARNING: Neutron cannon locked on and about to bombard this base. Please evacuate immediately!"

Warning: Countdown 13, 12...

"What's going on!? This is a high-priced, concealed fortification we built, how could the other side..."

One of the organization members, hearing the urgent countdown alarm inside the base, panicked.

At the same time, his eyes swept over the people around him, suspecting that there was a mole within the organization.

Davis, suppressing his complex emotions, quickly calmed down and addressed the crowd.

"Evacuate everyone! Head directly to the front lines to provide support."

"Zzz~!"

It was the sound of an energy shield shattering like a spider web.

As the countdown ended, the purple neutron cannon pierced the energy shield as expected.

A chilling purple beam of light slammed straight into the ground, silently annihilating everything in its path.

The entire underground fortification was completely covered by the neutron cannon beam, and by the time the purple beam dimmed and finally disappeared, the entire fortification had long since vanished.

As for the escape pods that everyone had prepared in advance, they were all lost to the Endless.

Meanwhile, Lister was wreaking havoc on the ground.

The elimination of the regime on this planet alone will earn 11,000 military merits, not to mention that each confirmed member of the Silver Mutual Aid Society will receive an additional 1 military merit.

The remaining dozen or so soldiers, still working in perfect unison to attack them, were, in Lister's eyes, living points of merit!

Fine laser beams, Nen waves, and even arcane projectiles rained down on him.

"Attacked: Due to the invulnerability granted by Merrick Saber Technique Super Armor, the Resolute Heart passive has taken effect... Immune to negative status effects such as stun, stagger, confusion, and weakness."

Before the attack even fully arrives, a massive amount of control skills take effect first.

Unfortunately, with him in a passive state, all his control skills immediately became ineffective.

The next instant, Lister vanished from the sight of all the organization members.

When they reappeared, they were completely close to them.

A chill ran through his soul, rushing straight to his brain, until finally all he could see was a flash of silver-black blade.

After a dizzying sensation, all I heard was the other person's muttering to themselves before I lost consciousness.

"It's 2 PM again... a total of 63 points."

The Shadowless Blade in his hand had lost its sharpness, and the blade itself had disappeared.

Lister noted the enemies he had killed, while Lieutenant Zahn and his men followed behind, cleaning up the battlefield and recording their missions.

The quality of the members of the Silver Mutual Aid Society Association varied, ranging from level eight to level twelve, with most of them having combat strength at level CD, which was indeed much stronger than the soldiers under his command.

In just a few direct confrontations, nearly one-third of the hundred soldiers he had brought with him had died.

It's simply impossible to protect them!

Fortunately, there was no mortality requirement for federal conscription, and Lister didn't deliberately protect anyone.

Only those who can survive on their own are the elite soldiers he needs.

Those who died young fulfilled their mission as cannon fodder, which was why they were kept on the Ship A73.

"Zahn, Reck, each lead men to fight on the flanks."

Sensing the Killing Intent Wave, they learned that another large group of people, numbering approximately two hundred, was surrounding them.

This wave of opponents will be significantly stronger in terms of rank and combat power than the previous ones, with the weakest being at rank 11 or higher.

The man leading the group was a level 14 individual, possessing A-rank combat strength.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for Lister.

He then drove all the remaining soldiers to the flanks.

Lister was all alone, facing the enemy's main force.

Before the crowd had fully approached, several powerful mechanical missiles came into view first.

The next moment, the mechanical missile suddenly accelerated, as if it had locked onto him, and hurtled straight toward his face.

Unfortunately, after a flash of light, all the missiles exploded in mid-air.

The loud noise of the explosion seemed to signal an attack from the enemy.

A new wave of control techniques was unleashed in his direction once again.

Captain Davis, whose body is covered by more than 90% mechanical prosthetics, finally appeared with everyone.

Seeing Lister all alone, everyone was momentarily stunned.

Captain Davis, in particular, had his massive mechanical wheels detach from his back and unfold.

The particle beam that had been shining brightly suddenly went out.

"Just you... all alone?"

His cold voice was filled with disbelief.

After sizing up Lister, he confirmed that he was only at the 12th rank.

Davis chuckled again.

"Hehe..."

The eerie laughter carried a strong sense of self-mockery and disappointment with the Seventh Squad.

"The Seventh Squad is truly a bunch of useless trash! They managed to wipe out even a mere captain."

As he spoke, his scarlet mechanical eye began flashing rapidly.

"Since that's the case, you might as well die with the Seventh Squad!"

The mechanical wheel behind him rose into the air once more, and a hexagonal cage interwoven with twelve particle beams instantly rose up beside Lister.

"Damaged: You have been imprisoned. Merrick Saber Technique has taken effect. Resolute Heart..., you are now immune to the imprisonment effect."

"Gravity well activated!"

Before he could retaliate, Davis's attacks were relentless, and his chest armor suddenly cracked open.

The main body of the roulette wheel has now completed charging, and a five-meter-diameter annihilation beam pierces through the smoke and dust, shooting straight down, ionizing the air along its path into a dazzling plasma channel.

As the light faded, Davis was enveloped in billowing steam, and coolant was dripping continuously from his mechanical hand.

He dared not let his guard down. Even though he had witnessed Lister being swallowed by the pillar of light, his expression grew even more grave.

Lister was no longer in the particle beam prison, but his presence remained unchanged in his perception!

In an instant, alarm bells rang in my mind!

The thickened roulette defense module then activated, instantly transforming into twelve petals.

The array simultaneously deployed quantum entanglement, and a powerful spatial magnetic field defense instantly enveloped everyone.

The next moment, Lister's figure finally appeared behind the particle beam prison.

And before their incredulous eyes, they stepped back into the particle beam prison step by step.

The blade of the Shadowless Blade in their hands instantly unfolded, and a powerful pressure, as if facing death head-on, enveloped everyone's hearts.

"How is this possible!"

"The prison can... fail? But how could the gravity well... fail?"

Davis's expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

Even though the particle beam prison and gravity well were both intact, the opponent's actions seemed completely unaffected.

At the same time, with a slight lift of his wrist, a horizontal slash appeared in mid-air before everyone's eyes.

With its power fully charged, the massive, solidified silver-black blade of light annihilated the entire particle beam cage.

In the next instant, it swept past all the people in front of it.

All sound vanished at that moment, and time seemed to stand still for a brief instant.

Until the bottom of the giant wheel suspended in mid-air was neatly sheared off and it fell to the ground.

Then, the bodies of everyone fell to the ground in unison!

Even the strongest Davis was no exception; his magnetic shield was destroyed the instant the blade made contact.

The high amount of true damage caused him, who already had low health, to be killed in one strike.
