"Whoosh!"

The spaceship sped past, and then several figures leaped fiercely from it.

Immediately activating the flight mode within their cosmic combat suits, they descended directly onto Muta Planet.

At this moment, on Muta Planet, hundreds of round, tentacled creatures, known as Round Tentacle Monsters, were continuously coiling humans with their tentacles and sending them into their mouths.

These were one type of cosmic creature.

The universe is truly vast.

In the depths of space, occasionally, creatures capable of adapting to the void are born, floating in the emptiness.

These creatures do not belong to any specific biological classification, so they are collectively referred to as cosmic creatures.

Cosmic creatures vary in strength, but due to the limitations of individual organisms, they constantly drift through the universe, unable to form their own technology and civilization.

Therefore, cosmic life forms are often much stronger than ordinary humans, but significantly weaker than cultivators or gene warriors who possess technology and cultivation systems.

They exist somewhere in between!

"So it's Furball Monsters!"

Upon landing on Muta Planet and seeing these monsters, the people who descended immediately showed expressions of understanding.

Furball Monster was the name for these round, tentacled creatures. Among cosmic life forms, Furball Monsters were very common, often drifting in groups through the void.

These Furball Monsters usually coiled themselves into a ball and wandered aimlessly to conserve energy.

However, once they discovered a planet with life, they would descend upon it and devour the planet's life forms to replenish themselves.

The average combat power of Furball Monsters ranged roughly from Level 2 to Level 4 Gene Warriors. For a low-level planet like Muta Planet, they were essentially a terrifying natural disaster.

But for the soldiers who had descended, it wasn't much of a threat.

These descending soldiers were Locke and his companions, who had been dispatched from Temporary Army No. 32.

This small team currently consisted of about 15 members, with an average level of Gene Warrior being Level 3. The captain was even a Level 4 Lower Grade Gene Warrior.

A team with this configuration was more than capable of clearing out the Furball Monsters.

After all... humans with technological civilization did not solely rely on their physical energy levels for combat power.

A significant portion of their strength came from the energy level enhancements provided by their equipment and weapons.

It was entirely possible for a Level 3 Lower Grade Gene Warrior, equipped with a decent Mechanical Battle Soldier, to have combat power comparable to an ordinary Level 3 Upper Grade Gene Warrior.

Upon seeing the Furball Monsters, everyone in the team simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Good! They weren't any dangerous cosmic creatures. These Furball Monsters could be easily dealt with by the team.

"Act immediately. The longer we delay, the more casualties Muta Planet will suffer!"

The captain said calmly, then his body moved, instantly rushing towards the direction of the Furball Monsters.

During this process, he took out a ray gun from his storage space, aimed it, and fired fiercely at the Furball Monsters.

The captain was the strongest member of the team, and he was also a Brain Domain Developer.

Therefore, for him, using firearm-type weapons could significantly increase their power, providing a substantial boost to the firearms.

Instantly, Furball Monsters were turned into nothingness by the captain's ray gun, dying directly.

The captain's actions successfully attracted the attention of a large number of Furball Monsters.

The surrounding Furball Monsters immediately dropped the humans they were holding and lunged fiercely towards the captain's direction.

Each Furball Monster was about 5-10 meters tall, and hundreds of them rushed towards them, creating a spectacular sight.

However, this did not intimidate Locke's team.

The members of the team saw this scene and showed indifferent smiles on their faces.

Then, one by one, the soldiers took out their Mechanical Battle Soldiers from their storage spaces and began hacking at the Furball Monsters.

For soldiers who had not developed their Brain Domain Level and only possessed Physical Level, using melee weapons would yield stronger combat power than using firearms!

Including Locke, he also took out the Thermal Battle Saber, which had just been repaired and modified by Su Ming, from his embrace.

Then, with a swift step, he charged directly in front of a Furball Monster that possessed the strength of a Level 3 Mid Grade Gene Warrior.

He fiercely raised the battle saber in his hand and swung it in an instant.

The energy level within his body erupted, channeling into the battle saber.

Instantly, the battle saber turned bright red, emitting an abnormally scorching temperature. When it struck the Furball Monster, it instantly sliced the creature in half.

The intense heat scorched the surrounding air, making it scalding hot.

This Level 3 Mid Grade Furball Monster was instantly engulfed by terrifying thermal energy, its severed body burning into ashes.

The heat was exceptionally terrifying, startling several teammates nearby.

"Locke, what's going on? Did you break through again?"

Several people familiar with Locke were shocked by this scene and immediately asked curiously.

However... Locke was currently standing frozen in place, looking at the Thermal Battle Saber in front of him with disbelief.

If it were before, for him to kill an opponent of Level 3 Mid-Grade Energy Level, it would absolutely be impossible to kill them in one strike. Usually, it would take some struggle to defeat them.

But just now... after he swung his saber, he felt this Furball Monster was like a ball of foam, cut in half directly without any resistance.

This smooth feeling...

Locke didn't know how long it had been since he last experienced it...

Locke looked at the saber in his hand.

He knew clearly in his heart that a large part of the credit for being able to so smoothly kill a Furball Monster before was due to this battle saber.

What shocked Locke even more was...

This battle saber actually reached the power of Star level!

Most importantly, the usage requirement for this battle saber was actually only for a Level 3 Gene Warrior to use.

All weapons have usage requirements.

This requirement doesn't mean you can't lift it or use it if your energy level isn't high enough.

The so-called requirement mainly refers to the minimum energy level needed to unleash the full potential of this battle saber.

For example, if it were a Level 2 Gene Warrior, they wouldn't be able to unleash the scorching energy when swinging the Thermal Battle Saber. They could only use it as an ordinary, tough weapon.

In that case, the power would be reduced by more than five times!

There were even some who had energy levels that differed too much. If they encountered firearms with energy levels far exceeding their own, they could be shaken to death by the recoil force.

What energy level, what grade, use weapons of that grade!

This is an eternal truth.

But... at this moment, Locke suddenly realized that the Mechanical Battle Soldier Su Ming had modified for him, although it possessed Star level power, its usage requirement was actually only Planet level!

This would be equivalent to a child being able to freely operate a handgun, even though a strong adult would be killed by the child.

If this were truly the case... Locke vaguely felt... Su Ming's skill level was even far superior to that of a normal Star level Mechanic!

Perhaps only some Mechanical Masters could achieve this
