White Ring 110 and the Black Sun (Part 2)

"That's what they say, but we've been gathered for so long, it's time to set off. I can't wait to give those Ring King's lackeys a good beating."

"The most important thing is to save our eldest Big Brother!"

"That's what I mean. If we can't rescue our Big Brother, the people won't believe in our Red Squad. Only someone as pure and kind as him can do that."

The members of the Red Squad outside the door couldn't wait any longer. On such an important day, everyone was eagerly anticipating it and ready for battle.

"There's no other way, I'll go and urge them—Big Sister, everyone's ready."

A close adjutant stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Boss, we—"

Squeak!

The gate opened, Xiajian Jing, head bowed and hood pulled down, walked slowly forward, fists clenched, one hand clutching his coat, his colorless, mirror-like eyes sweeping over the soldiers.

Some of them were factory workers, some were former teachers, some were just housewives, and most were students.

Now, at such a young age, they have become scarred warriors.

Fu—

Her short, purplish-gray hair was lifted by the wind, revealing the bronze ring around her neck. Xiajian Jing reached out and touched the ring around her neck; it was the last thing her teacher Arkanu, had given her.

"This is the Order Ring, capable of filtering the Blood of Ether, preventing your brain from being invaded by that society and causing you to go insane. Because the power of the Blood of Ether is diluted, this will also greatly suppress your Combat Power. However, under no circumstances should you remove this ring, otherwise you will become a monster more terrifying than the Anaerobics. Whatever you do, whatever you do, do not remove it."

"Is it crazy...? Maybe, in the eyes of ordinary people, I've long been a madman for constantly going against this messed-up world."

A smirk played on her lips as she stepped forward, facing the crowd, and confidently proclaimed:

"Hey! Students, I have some bad news for you—the entire Heavenly Ring Nation has taken up arms against us!"

The Red Squad warriors looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"They called us pests, terrorists, and demons who disrupt order."

Xiajian Jing paused for a moment, then said, "They underestimated us—we are nothing, we are merely the gravediggers of the old order!"

"We will never stand still. The people have been blinded by kings and cliques. They have stolen children's textbooks, robbed women of their virtue, taken men's lives, and seized family granaries. Now, they will enslave our entire world forever!"

"They say the Heavenly Ring People are brave and skilled in battle, but they don't mention at all that it was just an evil invasion."

Someone touched the unhealed wound and laughed.

"They say that for the sake of the Ring King, millions of his subjects would perish, yet they dare not say that the Ring King is nothing more than a mortal!"

The students burst into laughter, their expressions filled with utter contempt.

"They say don't complain, be content, then why can't the farmers of Sky Ring eat the rice they grow? Why does Sky Ring, as one of the Four Nations, insist on plundering and occupying such harsh and Outland? Why do those rich kids who claim to be superior to the common people never dare to go to the battlefield?"

The former farmers in the rice paddies and the former workers on the assembly line fell silent, their eyes filled with hatred and rage. The women whose husbands had been taken from them wiped away their tears, their gazes hardening. The pale-skinned warriors from Outland had gleaming eyes as they gripped their steel guns tightly.

They come from all walks of life and different backgrounds, both men and women, but now they share only one common identity: the oppressed.

"Let them say whatever they want, history will remember that we were here! Let them suppress and slaughter as they please, noble ideals will not die from guns and cannons, and we, the united and brave Heavenly Ring People, will never succumb to the brutality of the former kings and ministers."

The Red Squad warriors immediately raised their flag, which fluttered in the wind.

It was a pitch-black sun, the red background of deep-seated hatred symbolizing the pain of being oppressed by the Sky Ring and the Group, and the pitch-black color representing the opposition to the white of the Ring King's 'noble royal power'.

This is the flag that truly belongs to the people.

"Students, I know that most of you have not finished your studies yet. We are very naive, but please remember that everything we are doing is what this era has chosen, what people yearn for but dare not do. The whole country is about to be suffocated, and someone must lift the roof and let people breathe freely."

"We are not great people, we are just the masters of this country."

"Now, gods and emperors should kneel before us! It's time to drag them down from their shrines and thrones!"

She raised her fist and slammed it into the sky above, shouting:

"Forward! For the new world!"

Clang!

The black Tachi clashed with the Cross Spear, and Li Aoz's wrist was instantly dislocated. Immediately afterward, the Dragon School Aura Cannon 'Martial Artist ki blast slammed into his chest, shattering and exposing Li Aoz's left ribs, revealing his beating heart. The sniper in the distance quickly pulled the trigger, and a Autocannon Bullet exploded on his heart, precisely slicing Li Aoz's heart into four pieces, scattering evenly.

Li Aoz staggered to the ground, then rolled to his feet. His flesh and blood, like woven threads, rapidly formed a structure and regenerated quickly. Just as he raised his head, a talisman, like a flying knife, pierced directly into his skull.

"Grievance Talisman・Evil Spirit Possession Technique!"

The talisman exploded instantly, and a black, slimy demon immediately wrapped itself around Li Aoz's body, sticking out its long tongue and piercing directly into Li Aoz's brain, constantly sucking out Li Aoz's brain matter.

With a whoosh, the Cross-Shaped Spear broke through the triple sonic boom, piercing straight through Li Aoz. The Cross Spear tip was quickly withdrawn, and Ryo Gūheisan times in succession. The swift force was like a tsunami. The spear tip quickly rubbed against the air, tearing out a vacuum, and viciously stabbed into Li Aoz's broken body one after another.

Crane School - White Crane Thousand Seeks Strike! "Die!"

Ryo Gūheisan was completely unaware that his voice had become trembling. The Great Onmyoji in the distance incited the evil spirits to rush up quickly, wanting to surround and divide Li Aoz and completely end his life. However, Li Aoz's pierced eyeballs glanced at him slightly.

[Death Link]

The chains of death immediately linked every living being in sight, binding Li Aoz's life to them. Thus, the damage Li Aoz suffered was instantly transferred to all the monsters rushing towards him.

One by one, the ferocious monsters suddenly collapsed and died during the charge, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating. The Great Onmyoji in the distance was furious, his face turning ashen. This was the army of evil spirits he had created by exchanging his own organs.

"Give it your all, he's about to die—"

Before he could finish his words of encouragement, Li Aoz was punched in the throat by Chu Wei, Martial Artist from the Dragon School. The surging force exploded and instantly shattered Li Aoz's skull.

"With your heart and brain destroyed, you can't be resurrected!"

Despite saying this, Chu Wei dared not be careless at all. Sure enough, the next moment, Li Aoz's corpse was still standing. He pulled back with the force of gravity, launching his headless body into Chu Wei's arms, and then burst into flames.

Phoenix Bomb.

Boom! The flames instantly engulfed Chu Wei, but the close-range explosion did not completely destroy Chu Wei. How could the majesty of Gamma-rank warrior be so easily broken, especially since he was a Dragon Sect Martial Artist with Aura Shield, whose energy resistance was not low at all?

Chu Wei was blasted back three steps, his protective aura shattered, but he himself was unharmed. His clothes were set ablaze, but he gently brushed away the ashes, then grabbed a hand—a large hand formed from invisible force—and used it to push aside the flames that were obscuring his vision.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a gaping, blood-red mouth.

Crack!

The Overlord Form's massive jaws snapped down on Chu Wei's neck, followed by the Tachi and greatsword plunging into Chu Wei ribs. While these physical blows were insignificant to Martial Artist, the most crucial element was the percentage-based magical damage from the "Sever Life" spell.

"Cough!"

Chu Wei severely injured, his health points plummeting by 20%. He quickly slammed his elbow into Li Aoz's spine, the force penetrating Li Aoz's back and exploding into a dazzling spray of blood in his chest.

"Get out of here, you stray dog!"

Ryo Gūheisan was startled by this fighting style. He quickly picked up the Cross Spear and stabbed it into Li Aoz's abdomen, which was undergoing regeneration. With a vigorous twist, the hook of the sickle directly tore his two kidneys and intestines to shreds.

The pain of a severe blow to the kidney is comparable to that of childbirth. Humans would have no chance of resisting such an attack. Even for a giant creature like Blue Whale, having its internal organs pierced by 30 centimeters would almost certainly lead to death.

However, Li Aoz refused to budge. His health points rapidly recovered with the life drain from [Sever Life]. He no longer hesitated; this opportunity was too rare.

"How could this be?! How can you not die! Die! Die now!"

As the radiation energy of the Tsu・Shadow Edge gradually increased, he turned the hilt of the greatsword, and the Dust-Sealed Sanctuary lit up with runes. This Magic Weapon from outer space was imbued with the purest holy magic enchantment, the effect of which was simple and direct: to increase propulsion.

According to the standards of the ancient magical and technological civilization of Galexi, magical weapons of this caliber are designed for the purpose of forcibly landing on enemy flagships and carrying out decapitation strikes.

Therefore, Li Aoz knew that this weapon had another true form.

He directly reversed the direction of the greatsword's hilt, Aoneng power was continuously drawn in and injected into the blade. The next moment, Chu Wei's expression changed.

Buzz... Buzz...

The sound was like an electric drill starting up.

"Hey, you—"

The sword hilt extended instantly, flesh and blood were rapidly churned, internal organs were pulverized one after another, Chu Wei's spine was completely pierced by the sword blade, and then his feet left the ground. Under Li Aoz's Pegasus-like wrist strength that could pull a meteor, he was mercilessly lifted up on the spot and pointed straight at the sky.

"Chu Wei! You bastard! How dare you!"

Although Ryo Gūheisan, also Martial Artist, verbally expressed his disdain for Chu Wei, who followed a different path, they were actually comrades who deeply respected each other. Seeing Li Aoz's cruelty, he quickly drew his spear and thrust it towards the weapon in Li Aoz's hand.

"Die, you piece of dog shit!"

"(Galexis) Dust-Sealed Sanctuary - Ship-Breaker Mode!"

Boom! The fragments of light exploded instantly, and powerful holy light particles gathered like a storm, stirring up a turbulent spiral of death on the spot. The swirling wind immediately swept away Ryo Gūheisan, the Crane Sect Martial Artist, rolling more than ten meters on the spot before he managed to get up.

Ryo Gūheisan stared in shock and disbelief at the golden storm:

"Dragon God, what exactly is that?!"

The blade began to spin.

Chu Wei's body was instantly shredded, his flesh and blood melting and burning away in the high-speed rotating light drill, turning into the same light particles that spun and dissipated.

"Chu Wei!"

"That bastard!"

"Tsk, how could this be?"

The three Gamma-rank powerhouses took a step back, their faces showing fear and anger.

How could this happen? How could this possibly be...?

Chu Wei, he was a [Martial Artist], even a small nuclear bomb shouldn't have been able to kill him, how could he have died so tragically? "Namo San, what kind of terrifying power is this? How could Azure Planet have such a weapon?"

The Great Onmyoji's face showed shock and fear:

"Stop holding back, unleash your full power, and wipe him out completely!"

With a whoosh, Li Aoz swung the ' Dust-Sealed Sanctuary - Battleship Breaker '. The blade of the greatsword had transformed once more. The runic shell that originally covered the light-forged blade now bloomed like an impact shuttle, turning into a long spear for foot combat. The blade on the handle was still slowly rotating, carrying with it the dazzling light of shattering.

"You demon... you demon."

"Don't make baseless accusations."

Li Aoz twirled his long spear, the wounds on his face rapidly healing, covered in an elegant stardust haze. His voice, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, was low and rumbling. "Demons generally call me—'King of the Stars King '."

[Pegasus Force]

Li Aoz swung his long spear.

The next moment, a pair of Stardust Wings, 300 meters long, spread out behind him, spanning blocks and buildings.
