Undercurrents

This day, Su Ming was, as usual, helping the soldiers repair mechanical equipment during the day.

And in the afternoon, as dusk approached, he would take out mecha parts and assemble them.

The mecha in front of him had already been assembled by nearly 80%. The core components were almost complete, and the rest was just adding some external parts.

It could be said that a mecha assembled to this point was considered complete!

A complete mecha brought Su Ming a qualitative leap in knowledge and technology.

During the process of assembling this mecha, Su Ming felt that his mechanical technology had improved significantly compared to before.

Su Ming had a vague feeling that as long as he successfully assembled this mecha, perhaps driven by the mecha, his Brain Domain Level would experience explosive growth.

Although... there had already been terrifying growth during the assembly process.

But... the moment of final success felt like reaching the peak of accumulation and then finally giving back to oneself.

There would be a surge of growth.

But just as Su Ming excitedly continued to prepare to assemble the mecha, the spaceship suddenly shook violently.

Immediately, alarms blared within the spaceship.

"Beep... Encountered a Cosmic Creature attack, Energy Level range: 15,000-20,000. Determined attacker is a Level 6 creature..."

"Beep... Spaceship has activated shield function... Current shield energy remaining: 70%!"

"Beep... Danger alert, the spaceship can only withstand four more attacks, please issue corresponding commands as soon as possible!"

Hearing the alarms from within the spaceship, everyone was startled and then disbelievingly came out of their dormitories into the corridor.

Lieutenant Walker also emerged from his lounge, looking gravely out the window.

A giant turtle-shaped Cosmic Creature was actually suspended in the Void, staring at the spaceship with red eyes.

The next moment, the giant turtle opened its mouth and bit fiercely at the spaceship.

"Bang!"

A loud noise accompanied by violent shaking came again, and then the spaceship displayed a prompt that only 50% of its energy remained.

Su Ming was startled by this.

Cosmic Dragon Turtle! It was a type of Cosmic Creature with terrifying biting power.

But... as mentioned before, without the aid of Gene Potions and System cultivation, it was difficult for Cosmic Creatures to break through their genetic limitations and grow into high-level creatures.

The normal Energy Level of a Cosmic Dragon Turtle was around Level 3-5.

But now... why was there a Level 6 Dragon Turtle?

Lieutenant Walker looked at the Dragon Turtle, his face etched with seriousness.

This Dragon Turtle reminded him of the high-level Cosmic Creatures encountered in the surrounding star systems recently.

The abnormal level was definitely not something that could be achieved through normal growth.

This Cosmic Dragon Turtle, like the other Cosmic Creatures, had a problem!

"Damn it, has the research institute not finished analyzing the flesh of that Furball Monster I sent over yet? This efficiency is too low."

Lieutenant Walker gritted his teeth and said, then immediately upgraded the priority of this matter from normal to urgent.

After completing this operation, Lieutenant Walker took a deep breath, then put on his Cosmic Combat Suit, and with a movement, flew out of the spaceship.

Lieutenant Walker was the only Level 6 Gene Warrior on the spaceship.

Facing an attack from a Level 6 creature, of course, only he could resolve the problem.

However, fortunately, the Dragon Turtle species lived in the Void and had no civilization or technology of their own.

With the backing of Human Civilization, Lieutenant Walker was fully confident in facing a Cosmic Creature of the same level as himself.

Lieutenant Walker quickly took out a Star-level super cannon from his storage space!

"Star Annihilator XZ-71 Super Cannon, produced by Rhode Technology Company, possessing a high-end Star-level upper-grade Energy Level!"

Upon seeing this super cannon, everyone in the spaceship exclaimed in surprise.

Even Su Ming's attention was drawn to this super cannon.

Although the Energy Level of this super cannon was Star-level, its Energy Level reached over 8,000 points. Combined with Lieutenant Walker's original Energy Level of over 10,000 points, it could instantly unleash an Energy Level of around 20,000 points.

This was the power of Brain Domain Developers.

They could use their Brain Domain Level to augment mechanical weapons like firearms, allowing them to unleash powerful combat capabilities.

If a person's Brain Domain Level was too low, they could not use firearms and could only choose melee weapons.

Invisibly, when facing interstellar warfare, these melee Gene Warriors would be at a disadvantage!

There was no sound that could travel in space.

But this did not prevent everyone in the spaceship from sensing the terrifying Energy Level erupting from Lieutenant Walker's body, and the world-ending attack brewing within the cannon barrel of the super cannon.

The Dragon Turtle was instantly enraged upon seeing this, and then it swam towards Lieutenant Walker to attack.

But as soon as the Dragon Turtle made a move, a terrifying attack instantly erupted from the super cannon.

The mere aftershock forced the spaceship to activate its energy shields, preventing it from being attacked by the residual force.

Silent flames instantly engulfed the Dragon Turtle.

The universe was silent, but this only made the attack even more terrifying.

The Dragon Turtle was enveloped by the flames, and its body began to struggle violently.

When the flames dispersed, everyone was shocked to see a huge gash on the Dragon Turtle's head, its eyes blown out.

In pain, the Dragon Turtle let out a roar, revealing an expression of immense suffering.

Lieutenant Walker, however, paid no mind to the Dragon Turtle's pain.

His power surged within him, instantly channeling the energy into the super cannon in his hands.

A second shot! It erupted silently.

The terrifying explosive power illuminated the nearby starfield, the flames blindingly brilliant.

Although both were Level 6 beings, Lieutenant Walker's possession of a mechanical weapon was enough to easily turn the tide of the battle.

This was the crystallization of civilization, the enhancement bestowed upon Walker by countless years of development by all of human society.

It allowed Walker to easily suppress the Dragon Turtle.

In a short while, the Dragon Turtle's body was utterly pulverized by Lieutenant Walker's super cannon.

Vast chunks of flesh and blood began to float silently in the void of space, destined to be either consumed by other cosmic creatures or attracted by a planet and crash into it.

Lieutenant Walker selected a piece from the remains, placed it in a preservation device, and returned to the spaceship with it.

Despite the crew's cheers, Lieutenant Walker showed no sign of post-victory joy.

He held the piece of flesh with a grave expression and returned to his private quarters.

He then looked out the window.

The void of space was as tranquil and mysterious as ever.

But for some reason, Lieutenant Walker felt that behind this tranquility and mystery, a terrifying undercurrent might be slowly surging.
