Three Ships Severed in One Slash

He is indeed a core member of the Silver Mutual Aid Society, with combat strength of Rank 16A.

Even with the Resolute Qi Visualization Method increasing his defense by 1350%, he still couldn't withstand the opponent's mechanical explosion.

Especially after the Mechanical Force Infusion was increased several times over, the explosive power far exceeded that of ordinary explosions.

Lister stood still, quietly waiting for the explosion to completely end, never thinking of taking cover.

Current health: 291130/1009560 (Note: Slowly recovering)

"Notification: Health is below 30%, Battle Intent Eruption has been unleashed."

"Attacked: Gain the damage reduction bonus from Battle Intent Eruption, currently 39.6% damage reduction, suffered 15080 damage,..."

A strong Fighting Spirit was ignited in his mind.

Although his health has dropped to around 25%, his mobility and combat strength would have been greatly reduced in the past.

But at that moment, Lister felt inexplicably comfortable.

With that power fully unleashed, the burning sensation I had felt earlier vanished from my body.

A powerful killing intent pressed down on the opponent, instantly locking onto their soul.

He gripped the Shadowless Blade tightly in his hand, instantly amplifying its already terrifying sharpness several times over.

Even Committee Member Bowen, who was some distance away, couldn't help but frown, his eyes fixed on Lister's Shadowless Blade.

That chilling, immeasurable sense of danger emanates constantly from that blade.

At the same moment, Committee Member Bowen waved his hand again, and four more small robots rushed towards Lister.

A red glow quickly spread across his body, clearly indicating that Bowen did not expect Lister to make the same mistake twice under the same circumstances.

They immediately Mechanical Force Infusion, preparing to bombard the enemy upon close proximity.

"Boom!"

The explosion rang out again, just as expected.

But the next moment, Lister's figure Flash to the front of the explosion, dodging the blast while simultaneously closing in on Bowen.

With a sudden swing of the Shadowless Blade, he entered the second stage, gaining a 723% increase in combat power, plus more than a dozen passive enhancements.

A massive, silver-black blade of light slashed rapidly towards Bowen.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be cleaved in two by this extreme blade of light, with space breaking apart and constantly repairing itself wherever it passed.

The Committee Member Bowen from the Silver Mutual Aid Society looked grave and fearful, but his behavior remained relatively calm.

An endless stream of smaller robots of another model emerged, standing in rows in front of him.

Unfortunately, wherever the blade's edge passed, all the robots were annihilated.

The fear in his eyes only fully erupted when the blade sliced through him.

After experiencing the intense pain of having his soul severed, Committee Member Bowen died instantly from that blow.

"Attack: Deals -31202 damage, deals -113919 damage ignoring defense, deals a total of -353103 true damage and additional damage."

The total damage from a single strike was close to 500,000 points, which is also the limit of Lister's combat power under his strongest burst in the second phase.

It can be said that very few Third Advancement Class Holder can surpass his attack power.

Attack: Based on the energy replenishment from the Shadowless Blade, health has been restored by +62323 points.

"Based on the attack and kill while in a state of Battle Intent Eruption, health has been restored by +139831 points."

Instantly replenishing 200,000 HP, Lister's health was restored to over 50% for a time, and his Battle Intent Eruption subsided once again.

However, the blade's momentum remained undiminished, continuing to slash towards the three warships in the distance.

With its extreme sharpness and edge, nothing can stop its blade.

The blade's edge sliced through the warships, cleaving all three ships in two from the lower middle section.

The original intention to land on the A73 for combat was completely thwarted.

Countless Silver Mutual Aid Society warriors on the three warships died from Lister's single strike.

Meanwhile, the officers still aboard the A73 warship were dumbfounded.

Apart from Minister Gwent of the Logistics Department, who was leading a team to make temporary repairs to the warship, the remaining officers all witnessed Lister's terrifying combat power firsthand.

Leaving aside the fact that he withstood countless splitting and replicating little robots, everyone just assumed that he managed to evade them in some way.

However, the ability to annihilate a Level 16 Silver Mutual Aid Society Committee Member Bowen, and to cut down three ships in one strike is simply too exaggerated.

"Captain... are we sure we didn't... did we see that right?"

Vice-Captain Brody appeared dazed; he had been gathering officers to prepare to assist Lister in space.

Who knew that they would witness this incredible spectacle?

"Minister Lister... he actually managed to slice through a warship?"

All small ships in the Galactic Federation, whether battleships or warships, use materials of tier 15 or higher.

In some areas, such as the bow control room area of their A73 warship, the materials used are made of Tier 16 composite materials.

The overall strength is between level 15 and 17, with only some weak areas reaching level 15.

This is also why, in naval battles, long-range strikes are more common. After neutron cannons bombard weak points, soldiers then land to fight, ultimately ending the battle.

It's simply impossible to completely destroy parts of a small warship.

But things are different for Lister now; even if he can slash a warship and create a hole in it, he's already proud of it.

His ability to split a warship in two with a single strike is simply unimaginable.

Captain Boren, looking at the three wrecked warships through the screen, didn't hear what First Officer Brody was saying for a moment.

He stood there, stunned, his eyes gleaming, muttering to himself.

"Fourteenth level...! Only fourteenth level!"

"The combat strength of Quasi-Hegemon is... it's actually so..."

"Can this kind of martial arts system still be called a martial arts system...?"

"I've... I've struck gold!"

Compared to the other crew members, Captain Boren had a better understanding of the current internal situation of the Arcane Civilization Army.

There are very few people in the entire Arcane Civilization Army who can achieve this level of attack, capable of cleaving warships in two.

Even colonels, only the very top-tier colonels possess this kind of strength.

"Captain! Members of the Silver Mutual Aid Society are fleeing, are we...?"

It wasn't until Captain Cohen reminded him that Captain Boren realized he was still on an exploration mission and immediately began giving orders.

"Brody, take some men and give chase."

"Prioritize preserving our strength... or... um... never mind..."

The words were barely out of his mouth before Boren took them back.

Their ship is still on an exploration mission and is currently deep within the enemy's core area.

Every combatant is extremely important, not to mention that the members of the Silver Mutual Aid Society on the opposing warship are quite strong.

The reason why the A73 has been able to hold out until now is not because of the strength of its officers, but because of Lister, the 'Quasi-Hegemon' who has carried them all the way.

In reality, it could be said that he is "unworthy of his position," so it's best not to waste your energy pursuing him at this point.

If a group of officers were killed in the ensuing counterattack, it would be a huge loss!

"Truman, get me in touch with Lister."

"Advice him not to linger in the fight; let's finish up quickly and retreat!"

This location, deep within the core area, is not one where Boren truly intends to risk his life for the Federation Military District.

It was pure bad luck that forced me into this situation.

Now that the major threat of the three warships has been eliminated, the first reaction is naturally to retreat as quickly as possible.

Lister indeed had no desire to attack the fleeing minions.

His main purpose today was to test the strength of his Battle Intent Eruption by using this member of the Silver Mutual Aid Society Association.

The final result naturally satisfied him. With an overall improvement of more than 7 times, he could compete with anyone within the Third Advancement under extreme burst conditions.

What satisfied him even more was the control over the battle and over his own combat strength.

The enhancement of his combat potential had an even greater, albeit imperceptible, impact on him, making his combat intuition incredibly strong.
