Level Seven Cosmic Creature

After Lieutenant Walker hung up the phone, his expression became exceptionally solemn.

He made a decisive order for the spaceship to return to a safe star sector.

However... the outbreak of the Cosmic Creature Super Gene research incident far exceeded the expectations of the Free Federation and the Empire.

The research into Super Gene Technology had not yet stabilized when this experimental plan was forced to be initiated.

Even the Lothar Alliance itself likely could not estimate the effects this event would produce.

Suddenly, a large number of Gene Potions were taken out of the laboratories by different Cosmic Creatures.

It was like a virus, capable of infecting one Cosmic Creature from another through some means.

The number of truly mutated Cosmic Creatures was far greater than anticipated!

"What exactly did they research? This is definitely not Super Gene Technology, it's... a virus! A virus that can cause biological mutation!"

Although Lieutenant Walker had already ordered a rapid withdrawal, it was still a step too late.

About twenty minutes after the spaceship began its return journey, he could clearly see that the spaceship was already surrounded by a large number of mutated Cosmic Creatures.

These Cosmic Creatures varied in shape, but they shared a common characteristic—they exhibited aggression and levels different from ordinary Cosmic Creatures.

Furthermore... these Cosmic Creatures did not attack other Cosmic Creatures that had already been infected by the virus. Instead, they targeted other entities flying in space.

"Temporary Army No. 27 has been completely wiped out. Your Excellency, how are you doing?"

The Empire's operator quickly spoke to Walker.

Temporary Army No. 27, due to its deep penetration into the Lothar Alliance's territory, was attacked by Cosmic Creatures the moment the Superpower Virus Tide broke out. Before they could even react, the entire army was annihilated.

And now... the outbreak of Cosmic Creatures was gradually affecting every temporary army unit.

"We... might be in trouble very soon!"

Lieutenant Walker looked out the window with a grave expression. The surroundings were now filled with mutated Cosmic Creatures.

Their average levels were around four or five.

Occasionally, a few Level Six Cosmic Creatures were mixed in.

Although Lieutenant Walker was a Level Six Gene Warrior, facing tens of thousands of Level Four and Five Cosmic Creatures, he would likely be overwhelmed within moments.

However... for some reason, these Cosmic Creatures were not attacking immediately, as if they were waiting for something.

Everyone on the spaceship, like Lieutenant Walker, had a taut string of tension in their hearts as they looked out the window with solemn expressions.

Once these Cosmic Creatures launched a coordinated attack, Temporary Army No. 32 would likely be torn to shreds instantly!

Just then, everyone, including Lieutenant Walker, suddenly felt their pupils contract.

Because at that moment, all the Cosmic Creatures parted ways, and a Cosmic Creature exuding a terrifying aura revealed itself.

It was a Cosmic Creature that somewhat resembled a lizard, covered in spikes all over its body.

A Steel Lizard!

This was a rare type of Cosmic Creature in the universe.

Upon seeing the Steel Lizard, alarms immediately began blaring on the spaceship.

"Beep beep beep... High-level creature detected. The creature's level is..."

"Beep... 41,000 points!"

"Beep... Warning! Warning! Warning! This creature's level exceeds the estimated overall combat power of Temporary Army No. 32, Warning!"

The warning sounds within the spaceship made everyone's scalps tingle.

41,000 energy points!

A Lower Level Seven Cosmic Creature!

Despair flashed in everyone's eyes.

If it were a Higher Level Six Cosmic Creature, Lieutenant Walker might have had a chance to fight back with mechanical weapons.

But a Lower Level Seven was beyond what mechanical weapons could compensate for!

With this Lower Level Seven Cosmic Creature appearing, coupled with the surrounding lower-level Cosmic Creatures, they had no chance of escape under a combined assault.

"What should we do? Am I going to die here?"

Officers with pale faces muttered to themselves.

Just then, a terrifying energy level erupted from the Level Seven Cosmic Creature, and it unleashed a terrifying beam towards the spaceship.

The moment the beam struck the spaceship, it directly shattered the ship's energy shield.

Suddenly, the spaceship was almost capsized by the attack.

"We can't just wait to die! We'll go out and fight! Waiting in the spaceship will only lead to our deaths!"

Lieutenant Walker shouted.

He then took the lead, donned his space combat suit, and charged out.

He raised the colossal cannon in his hand and fired a powerful blast towards the Cosmic Creature.

However... the Steel Lizard cast a contemptuous glance at the colossal cannon firing towards it. It then raised its head and directly shattered the incoming cannon blast with the sharp horn on its head.

Immediately, it spewed forth another terrifying beam from its mouth, blasting Lieutenant Walker backward. The protective shield on his combat suit shattered completely under this attack.

In the next attack, Lieutenant Walker would likely die in the Steel Lizard's maw.

Inside the spaceship, everyone's hearts clenched the moment Lieutenant Walker was sent flying backward, cold sweat breaking out.

"Brothers, let's go out and support him! Otherwise, we'll just wait to die!"

One sergeant prepared to rush out of the spaceship.

But just then, his vision blurred, and he saw a figure rapidly charging towards the spaceship's entrance.

"Huh?" The sergeant blinked, then clearly saw the figure.

"Little Master Su Ming?"

The sergeant was shocked and instinctively wanted to stop Su Ming.

After all, in his opinion, Su Ming was just a mechanic. While he was likely a Gene Warrior, his level probably wasn't very high.

Specialization was key; someone as skilled in mechanics as Su Ming would surely dedicate most of his energy to crafting machines...

Although crafting machines could improve one's Brain Domain Level, it couldn't improve their Physical Level!

Little Master Su Ming going out like this, though brave, was somewhat unwise!

The sergeant panicked and immediately said, "Little Master Su Ming, come back! It's dangerous ou—"

However... before the word "dangerous" could even be uttered, the sergeant's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the figure outside the spaceship.

The other soldiers, at this moment, were just as shocked as this sergeant.

Everyone looked at the figure by the spaceship's entrance.

At this moment... a mecha, gleaming with silver light, slowly appeared outside the spaceship
