The environment inside the Alien Nest was disgusting.

This had originally been the spacecraft's storage area, used for transporting cargo.

The metal-built warehouse section of the spacecraft was now completely covered in Xenomorph secretions. Walking over it felt like stepping on the inner wall of some creature's organs.

But Uchiha Gen's expression remained unchanged.

As a ninja, he had seen plenty of scenes far more disgusting than this while carrying out missions. His mental fortitude had long since been tempered.

"During the initial Mental Scan, there were a total of one hundred and eight Xenomorphs. Excluding the Alien Queen, that makes one hundred and seven."

"Thirteen were killed on the way here, Zheng Zha killed fifty-two, Zhang Jie killed one while leading the newcomers, and three Xenomorphs killed the remaining newcomers and are bringing their bodies here."

"In other words, excluding those special Xenomorphs capable of resisting Mental Scan, there are still thirty-eight Xenomorphs left in this Alien Nest."

Uchiha Gen pondered inwardly.

It seemed the Xenomorphs knew sneak attacks were useless. Even after Uchiha Gen entered the depths of the nest, not a single Xenomorph attacked him.

In a spacious warehouse area, Uchiha Gen saw the Alien Queen guarded by numerous Xenomorphs, as well as the densely packed Xenomorph eggs behind her.

The Xenomorphs had gathered together, seemingly intending to fight Uchiha Gen head-on.

The massive creature known as the Alien Queen was in excellent condition. Perhaps because she had received an ample supply of food, her body was even larger than the one Zheng Zha and the others had faced in the original timeline, reaching a full ten meters in height.

She was a true behemoth now, her body as enormous as a three-story building. Every movement contained terrifying power.

The two sides stared at each other without any unnecessary motions.

The battle began immediately.

One Xenomorph after another lunged at Uchiha Gen. Their long, steel-whip tails lashed toward him, while their sharp tongues periodically stabbed at different parts of his body.

Behind them, the Alien Queen watched like a tiger eyeing its prey.

She did not rush to attack. Instead, she intended to let her subordinates wear down Uchiha Gen's stamina, then deliver the final harvest once his condition declined.

"Weak. Far too weak."

These lightning-fast hunters moved as slowly as snails in Uchiha Gen's eyes.

Even without activating his Sharingan or refining Chakra, Uchiha Gen did not regard these Xenomorphs as threats with his physical body alone.

The effects of the A-rank Bodhi Heart were simply too powerful. It had constantly strengthened Uchiha Gen's physique and soul, while his Saiyan Bloodline and Uchiha bloodline happened to perfectly display the results of that enhancement.

By now, Uchiha Gen's physical strength and Perception had reached an absurd level, no weaker than some high-level enhancements focused purely on physical power.

"I hope you can give me some pressure."

The First Stage Gene Lock opened. Uchiha Gen maintained his current state without refining Chakra and began fighting directly.

Uchiha Gen seized the two fastest Xenomorph steel tails with both hands. The two four-meter-tall Xenomorphs were dragged before him by an overwhelming, irresistible force, perfectly blocking the other Xenomorphs lunging toward him.

Splat!

With a dull crash, the two Xenomorphs were instantly smashed to pieces by their companions' attacks.

By then, Uchiha Gen had silently appeared before another Xenomorph.

He threw a punch carrying the force of wind and thunder, smashing the Xenomorph's head into a rotten watermelon.

Then, with a tap of his foot, he evaded another Xenomorph and delivered a flying kick that shattered the head of the nearest one.

Then came the next one...

At that moment, Uchiha Gen pushed Uchiha-style Taijutsu to its limit. He moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, dancing amid the Xenomorphs' siege.

His movements were crisp and efficient.

Tremendous force surged through every gesture. Every punch and kick carried the force of wind and thunder as he killed Xenomorph after Xenomorph with clean, decisive taijutsu, yet suffered not the slightest injury in the process.

Every Xenomorph attack was evaded by Uchiha Gen at precisely the right moment, his posture calm and elegant throughout.

At last, the Alien Queen could no longer sit still. She had clearly calculated the outcome of the battle.

Even if every one of her Xenomorphs died, they would be unable to affect Uchiha Gen's condition in the slightest.

The only option now was for her to join the battle herself. Only then might she change the situation.

The sound of tearing wind rang out. Taking advantage of Uchiha Gen evading a Xenomorph attack while suspended in midair and unable to exert force, a huge tail over ten meters long howled toward him.

At the same time, three other Xenomorphs seized the opportunity and swung their tails at Uchiha Gen as well.

For an instant, Uchiha Gen seemed trapped in a desperate situation, with nowhere to evade.

Fortunately, Uchiha Gen had no intention of dodging.

Bang!

Uchiha Gen raised an arm and blocked the Alien Queen's tail, his body floating through the air like a weightless willow catkin.

Then, using leverage in midair to adjust his posture, he evaded the attacks of the other three Xenomorphs.

He stomped heavily onto one Xenomorph, crushing its entire head into fragments.

"Hahaha. Trading blows like this—now this is a battle."

Uchiha Gen laughed loudly, his blood beginning to boil.

Killing Xenomorphs was not difficult. Killing the Alien Queen would not be difficult either. But defeating the Xenomorphs before him without suffering so much as a scratch in a battle relying purely on physical strength—that was difficult.

His expression became focused as he consolidated his strength and began attacking the Xenomorphs one by one under the Alien Queen's interference.

In just two minutes, he had killed every Xenomorph.

Seeing this, the Alien Queen did not hesitate. She turned and fled, intending to use the complex environment of the nest to shake off pursuit and make a comeback later.

"Hmph, trying to run?"

The battle was at its height, yet his opponent had turned and fled. Anger surged in his heart.

Uchiha Gen casually grabbed a massive chunk of Refined Iron Ore nearby, large enough to be held in a person's arms, and hurled it at the fleeing Alien Queen.

At that moment, Uchiha Gen felt his heart beating rapidly and his blood surging through his entire body.

Invisibly, some shackle shattered. His entire arm swelled with blood, and all the strength in his body gathered completely into his hand, pouring into the massive chunk of Refined Iron Ore.

Boom!

A sonic boom erupted. In an instant, empowered by terrifying force, the Refined Iron Ore exceeded the speed of sound several times over.

Wrapped in milky-white shockwaves, the Refined Iron Ore turned red-hot from its high-speed friction against the air. It carved a fiery arc through the air and instantly slammed into the fleeing Alien Queen.
