The Chaotic Battle
A great war is about to break out!
After Emily made her move, the military members behind her immediately followed suit, rushing towards Gu Ding and the others like madmen.
Emily's target was Gu Ding. She knew very well that once Gu Ding was dead, no one here could escape. The sealed Sky Dome would not be unlocked, and the port's Armor-Piercing Cannon could cause devastating damage to all spaceships.
With two leaps, she quickly closed in on Gu Ding.
Gu Ding donned the black Mecha, ready to fight, but was stopped by Bade.
"You're no match for this woman. Leave her to us. You go and take out those Mecha."
Standing in a row with Bade, blocking Gu Ding's path, were three Eighth Order Gene Body powerhouses. All three were veteran Interstellar Pirate, with bounties exceeding one billion Star Coin each.
The four surrounded Emily as she approached.
Emily didn't want to waste time on these four. She flashed forward, intending to find Gu Ding, but found one of her feet bound by a black chain that was still climbing upwards. Her internal energy was slowly draining away along the chain, though at a slow rate, she knew she would have to deal with Bade eventually.
"You four think you can stop me?" Emily sneered. "Bade, I was planning to deal with Gu Ding before coming after you, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. Looks like you weren't taught a lesson last time?"
"I'd never feel like I'd teach a woman with a pretty face and a great figure enough lessons," Bade said, leering at Emily's breasts.
"You're asking for it!" Emily was about to strike when she suddenly felt her body become heavy, and her movements became several times slower than before. "What's going on?"
"This is my ability: controlling gravity." A short, stout middle-aged man revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth. His name was Bent, and he had the highest bounty among the four, a staggering 2.2 billion Star Coin. With his ability to control gravity, he had once killed Ninth-Order Gene Body powerhouse.
"And the two of us!" Two voices came from behind Emily. She turned around and saw a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Because their clothes and appearances were completely different, she hadn't noticed their faces before.
These twins, though young-looking, have been Interstellar Pirate for over three years. The older brother is named Sunny, and the younger sister is named Luna. Their surname is Baili Minda, and their family has a demigod ancestor, resulting in excellent genes. Basically, every member of the family possesses remarkable special abilities once they awaken.
Sunny and Luna were born with extraordinary mental strength, and after their abilities awakened, their mental strength reached twenty times that of martial artists of the same level. Even more remarkably, when they held hands, their mental strength could perfectly merge, surging to two hundred times the intensity of a martial artist of the same level. Due to this advantage in mental strength, the two chose to become illusionists.
Emily only glanced at the two of them before she was drawn into the illusion they had created together.
"Capture successful!" The moment Emily fell into the illusion, Sunny and Luna noticed and smiled at each other.
"Her defenses are too strong; we can't inflict any effective damage. I'll set up the sealing array. It's quite complex and will take some time. But once she enters it, we can completely seal her. I've used it on Sharp before, and it was very effective. However, this time, I won't just pierce her heart; I'll cut off her head. That way, even if a god descends, she won't be able to come back to life." Bade showed no mercy. Sharp's resurrection had made him determined that anyone sealed with this technique in the future would have their head cut off immediately to prevent them from reviving.
After Bade finished speaking, he got busy, while the other three kept a close eye on Emily, worried that something might change about her.
Gu Ding had already penetrated deep into the enemy ranks, and wearing his Mecha, he was virtually unbeatable.
With basic attack power comparable to Eighth Order Gene Body, plus a tenfold increase from Limitless Body Technique, and a threefold increase in Combat Strength from berserk mode, Gu Ding's Combat Strength is completely comparable to that of Ninth-Order Gene Body warrior.
However, apart from Sharp and Emily, the strongest person from the military who came this time was only a general at the peak of the Eighth Order Gene Body.
Seeing that Gu Ding was rampaging across the battlefield without any opponents, three Mecha pilots flew their Mecha and attacked Gu Ding.
Two of the Mecha clamped down on Gu Ding's left and right hands, while another Mecha delivered a knee strike to Gu Ding's head.
Inside the Mecha, Gu Ding grinned. If it were anyone else, they might have actually taken the hit head-on, but Gu Ding had no such intention.
He used both arms to tear off the arms of the two Mecha that were holding his hands. The Mecha that even Eighth Order Gene Body powerhouses couldn't handle were as fragile as paper in front of Gu Ding.
The intact Mecha in front of him came to a complete stop, leaving the Mecha inside utterly stunned. Gu Ding, however, didn't miss this opening. He leaped high into the air and delivered a Ghost Foot side kick to the Mecha's head. With this strike, half of the Mecha's head was severed, and it ceased operation completely.
The other two Mecha pilots, each with a torn arm, were frantically fleeing in their Mecha. Only now did they realize that the black Mecha before them was a demon.
Gu Ding relentlessly caught up with the first Steel Fist, delivering a powerful punch that blasted through the air and struck the back of its head. The Mecha exploded instantly, and it ceased to function.
Gu Ding turned and chased after the second Mecha. With a few leaps, he appeared in front of the Mecha and smashed the energy slot on the Mecha's chest with a heavy elbow strike without any suspense.
It took Gu Ding less than five minutes to take down those three Mecha.
He looked up and around, searching for his next target, and soon, he spotted an unlucky fellow.
The guy was still attacking a blood-soaked Interstellar Pirate, seemingly in no hurry to kill him, but just deliberately mocking him.
Gu Ding leaped several times and crept up behind the Mecha, tapping its back with his finger.
The Mecha pilot turned around in surprise, and was clearly stunned when he saw Gu Ding's black Mecha. But then his vision went black as Gu Ding snapped off the head of his Mecha, and all the control lines in the neck were torn off by Gu Ding's bare hands.
Gu Ding casually tossed the mechanical head aside, then grabbed the Mecha pilot by the collar, pulled him out of the Mecha, and threw him in front of the blood-covered man.
The blood-covered man was a martial artist who had just entered the Eighth Order Gene Body, while the Mecha pilot was only Sixth-Order Gene Body. He barely resisted before the blood-covered man snapped his neck.
Gu Ding opened the Mecha's hatch and tossed a bottle of E-Grade Cellular Repair Agent to the man. Although this grade of agent was basically ineffective against Eighth Order Gene Body, it was still effective in treating external injuries and stopping bleeding.
After closing the hatch, Gu Ding pursued his next target.
In about ten minutes, Gu Ding destroyed twelve of the military's Mecha using violent means. On the battlefield, fewer than ten Mecha remained.
Just then, he heard the Sea Emperor's voice, "Gu Ding, the battleground between Bigge and Sharp is getting farther and farther away, Liliath is about to lose contact with Bigge."
"Can't we bring Bigge back?"
"No, under this hypnotic state, he can only hear the caster's voice; other sounds will be automatically rejected, so he can't hear me either. Besides, Liliath is currently trying to maintain this last sliver of connection and can't afford to be distracted by anything, including speaking. I can dial Bigge's number for Liliath, or I can connect the call for Bigge, but the key right now is that we need Liliath to give him the order to return. Or, we can simply send Liliath to a place closer to their battlefield."
"Then let Robert take her there. Robert should have some combat robots that can protect Lily." Gu Ding was a little worried because Liliath was out of sight, but having witnessed Robert's abilities these past few days, he had no doubt that Robert Gu Ding take good care of Liliath.
On a high-rise building in Bato City, Sharp wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking at Bigge, who stood still and didn't launch another attack, he smirked. "It seems this distance is the limit between that little girl and you. Although I don't know what the connection is between you two, I noticed it last time. No matter how fierce the battle was, she stood still and didn't make a move from beginning to end. And when that little girl showed signs of discomfort, you withdrew from the battlefield immediately. So I made a bold guess—your combat strength is influenced by that girl."
"From the very beginning of this battle, I deliberately pretended to be outmatched and fled into the distance, constantly luring you away from that little girl. I admit that this approach is not honorable, but for the sake of the military and for the ultimate victory of this battle, I had to do it; it was the most time-efficient way. It would be difficult for me to determine a winner against you in your prime in a short time, but I must return to the battlefield as soon as possible to ensure victory in this battle."
Sharp walked towards Bigge step by step. Bigge stood there, his breathing disordered, his expression strange, sometimes conflicted, sometimes confused, and sometimes even fearful.
As Sharp approached, raising his hand to chop Bigge's neck, Bigge's aura suddenly calmed down again, like a demon descending to earth, his eyes wide with fury. A silent slash, delivered at an eerie angle, extended a black thread, aiming instead for Sharp's neck... (To be continued).
