[Overall Rating: S]
Quasi-Hegemon at tier 16, its basic passive abilities currently only include three.
Like Lieutenant Colonel Weiss, he maintains his Overlord Tier combat power mainly through his World-Ending Level active skills.
No wonder that the higher the level, the less they can maintain their combat strength.
The fact that his passive skills haven't been fully developed is probably the reason why Marquez is hovering on the edge of being Overlord Tier fighter.
At this moment, all the surviving soldiers emerged from the ship and assembled.
Led by the remaining two Central Army lieutenant colonels, they began to gather and fight alongside the undead army.

[Overall Rating: Grade A]
Even though he was just a basic tenth-tier Starbone Warrior, with the boost from Marquez's base attributes, he had reached the standard of a thirteenth-tier warrior, and his overall combat strength remained at C-level.
The other elite summons born through Sacrifice are also quite powerful in terms of rank and combat strength.
The soldiers were naturally struggling in their battle against the Star Destroyer Warriors.
These Undead Summoning lack combat awareness; even though their basic attributes surpass those of the soldiers, their combat capabilities are far inferior.
However, this is all based on one-on-one situations. In terms of the actual number of battles, it can be described as one against dozens.
More importantly, these summoned creatures of the opponent are completely immune to death and possess a certain degree of damage immunity.
With the addition of elite monsters and Chief Tier monsters such as necromancers and shield warriors, the battle situation suddenly became unpredictable again.
"Boom~ Boom~!"
Countless self-destructing robots surged from the Central Army's battlefield into the undead army.
It was one of the lieutenant colonels who took action, and soon after, many mechanical engineering officers followed suit, piloting the robot army forward.
Compared to swarm tactics, the mechanical faction is in no way inferior to the undead faction within the magic faction.
The entire star field, which had long been cleared out, is now bursting with vibrant colors once again because of the battle between the two sides.
Unfortunately, the undead simply outnumbered them.
Furthermore, its damage reduction and recovery effects are so astonishing that they put the overall battle situation at a disadvantage.
Even after the core members of the Silver Mutual Aid Society joined the battle alongside the undead army, the scales of victory tipped completely in the Silver Mutual Aid Society's favor.
At this moment, even Lieutenant Colonel Weiss began to feel troubled.
The formation that was just intended to imprison Marquez has become useless.
With the overwhelming influx of the undead army, he had no room to even move.
Furthermore, the attacks aimed at finding phase points are rather random, not as arbitrary as he appears. If it were a large-scale attack, it could also affect his own soldiers.
Just when the situation was extremely dire, Lister and Major Qi, the last members of the Federation Military District's forces, finally joined the battle.
Now that things have come to this point, and the undead army has already advanced to their vicinity, there's no need to hold back. The most important thing is to complete the conscription mission as soon as possible.
Especially since the opponent was Quasi-Hegemon of a higher rank, Lister did not want to take any more risks.
Thus, amidst the deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere of the battlefield, another powerful pressure surged into the fray.
The aura of death emanating from this extreme killing intent was far stronger than that of the necromancer, Gabriel Marquez.
The palpable killing intent, and the chilling sensation that rose from the very soul, completely overshadowed the deathly stillness of the battle, transforming it into an endless surge of killing intent.
For a moment, all the soldiers on both sides held their breath, and many of their own soldiers began to look back.
The three lieutenant colonels, including Lieutenant Colonel Weiss, also turned around, their faces serious as they looked in the direction from which the murderous aura was coming.
A man with black hair and black eyes, wearing the rank insignia of a captain, arrived at the front of the battle with Major Qi.
After confirming that they were not enemies, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were still curious, after all, a mere captain could possess such an imposing aura, the intense battle prevented them from being distracted.
Lieutenant Colonel Weiss immediately understood.
Among those recruited for this mission, the only one with such strength is probably that new Quasi-Hegemon who has just completed his third evolution, Lister!
"Captain Lister!"
Upon seeing Lister approach, he nodded in greeting in a deep voice, a hint of unease flashing across his serious face.
There was some misunderstanding with the Ship A73 before, aside from the distrust during the last briefing meeting.
Previously, after killing Captain Titus, he also punished the Ship A73 by ordering it to lead the third main attack line.
The only thing I'm grateful for right now is that I've never held Lister personally accountable.
And today was also the first time he had truly met Captain Lister.
Seeing that Lister showed no resentment or uncooperativeness,
He only breathed a sigh of relief after calmly nodding in response to him and the other two lieutenant colonels.
Just as he was about to intervene again to relieve the pressure on the soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel Weiss suddenly stopped and looked at Lister once more.
His killing intent continued to intensify rapidly until his right hand gripped the Shadowless Blade, at which point his killing intent reached its peak.
Suddenly, this real killing intent erupted and swept across the entire battle.
All the Starbound Warriors froze instantly, and the green flames deep in their eye sockets went out at the same moment.
In the end, all movement ceased, and the hundreds of thousands of Star Demise Warriors became mere skeletons, standing in place with no further aggression.
This sudden and dramatic change caused both sides' soldiers and enemy warriors to halt their attacks.
For a moment, the fierce battle seemed to be paused, and everyone looked at Lister in disbelief.
"What kind of method is this? How is this possible...!?"
The lieutenant colonel who had been continuously releasing self-destructing robots also stopped at this moment, staring blankly at Lister.
Another lieutenant colonel, noticing Major Qi beside Lister, couldn't help but mutter a guess.
"Could it be that... that... Hegemon overlord from the Arcane Civilization Army... who has already completed three evolutions!?"
"The Martial Arts Department possesses such methods!? No wonder Major Qi has always strongly advocated for and promoted this person!"
Since these two lieutenant colonels did not have core command authority over the fleet, they naturally lacked information sources.
The report from Ship A73 naturally wouldn't have reached them, and it wasn't until today that they witnessed Lister's strength for the first time.
At this moment, one can't help but be shocked by this newly emerged "Quasi-Hegemon".
"Lister... I didn't expect you...!?"
Major Qi, standing beside him, was also stunned.
He only learned about Lister's three evolutions in the last two days.
My perception of his abilities is subconsciously still based on what I saw in recruit training.
I never imagined Lister's methods would be so ruthless; he's now on par with Lieutenant Colonel Weiss in every way.
Even stronger, it could annihilate all ordinary undead warriors simply by the intimidation of its killing intent.
His mouth was slightly open, and after a moment's pause, he finally finished uttering his exclamation.
"I never imagined... you've grown up so quickly!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle...
"One more person?"
Marquez, hovering high above the army of the undead, frowned and muttered to himself.
Things were getting out of his control; with another Quasi-Hegemon joining the fray, the level of danger for him increased dramatically.
Fortunately, the opponent was only at level 14 in his perception, and was only the weakest in the martial arts category.
Even if this method of Killing Intent Eruption was impressive, he was still a necromancer, and the deaths of his undead soldiers were merely a matter of expending some effort to resurrect them.
He was now constantly sensing the Starbuck Warriors he controlled and once again activating the Undead Summoning.
But the next moment, Marquez's face froze completely!
"How is this possible!?"
The soul fire, which could be rekindled at any time in the past, was completely useless today.
The Undead Summoning was used, yet none of the soulfire of any of the Starbound Warriors below was ignited.
He could even sense that the very essence of his own soul had been completely annihilated by Lister's attack.
They can no longer be called undead creatures; they have been reduced to ordinary skeletons.
