Steel Lizard Dies

Normally... even if the Steel Lizard was heavily injured by the giant axe, it wouldn't die immediately.

But... if the giant axe had struck its heart, then the Steel Lizard would have died no matter what!

In an instant, the axe cut into the heart.

In Su Ming's eyes, the Steel Lizard's heart was directly split in two by the giant axe, shattered into pieces.

As the heart ruptured, a large amount of blood spurted out like a fountain, instantly dyeing the silver Mecha a blood-red color!

Su Ming didn't get complacent. He immediately spent 50 Starlight Points to repair his own cracked body, then piloted the Mecha to retreat rapidly from its original position.

Indeed... the facts proved Su Ming's judgment was absolutely correct.

After its heart shattered, the Steel Lizard, relying on its powerful life force, actually survived for another three minutes, thrashing and roaring madly, tearing apart two surrounding Cosmic Creatures... before finally falling silent.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the Spaceship collectively jumped up and cheered.

"So strong, I'm impressed by that maneuver!"

"Record this, record this! If this gets posted online, it could gain a lot of fans. A textbook example of the weak defeating the strong!"

"Record what, you idiot? Brothers, the Steel Lizard is dead! Let's hurry out and support Little Master Su Ming!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly, and then one by one, they quickly donned their Cosmic Combat Suits and rushed out of the Spaceship with flushed faces.

"Little Master Su Ming, don't panic, we're here to support you!"

Suddenly, the excited voices of the soldiers rang out from the Mecha's communication system. Su Ming's expression shifted, and he turned his gaze towards the direction of the Spaceship.

He indeed saw a large number of soldiers emerging from the Spaceship, wielding Mechanical equipment, and charging into the group of Cosmic Creatures.

A barrage of laser missiles pounded into the Cosmic Creature horde.

There were simply too many Cosmic Creatures; these soldiers didn't even need to aim. Every attack they launched hit a Cosmic Creature.

Su Ming wasn't idle either. Wielding his Mechanical Battle Axe, his figure turned into a red phantom, effortlessly weaving through the Cosmic Creatures.

Every time this phantom passed by a Cosmic Creature, it would easily cleave the surrounding ones to pieces.

A large number of Cosmic Creatures died at the hands of Su Ming's Mecha.

The entire starry sky was instantly filled with floating blood droplets!

Seeing this Mecha, so terrifying, like a reaper of death, the Cosmic Creatures' eyes flashed with intense fear.

This Mecha was too strong!

They couldn't touch it, yet its destructive power was so immense.

Facing such an enemy, anyone would feel fear.

Moreover... the most crucial point was...

Their leader, the Steel Lizard, had just been slain by this Mecha.

Without their leader, the leaderless swarm of Cosmic Creatures had no organizational ability whatsoever.

They immediately began to scatter.

One became ten, ten became a hundred. Seeing other Cosmic Creatures fleeing, the remaining ones, under the grip of terror, gradually developed the urge to escape.

In no time, all the Cosmic Creatures scattered, fleeing in all directions until they vanished without a trace.

The entire Void was filled only with corpses and blood, and the soldiers of Temporary Army No. 32.

Su Ming let out a sigh of relief, finally relaxing his tense nerves.

He recalled the Mecha into his storage space, and a wave of immense fatigue washed over him.

Both his body and his mind felt a strong, aching soreness, as if he could no longer exert any force.

Su Ming gave a wry smile. This was due to excessive exertion and the immense burden on his body.

It was only because he had been so focused that he hadn't felt this fatigue before.

Now that he relaxed, the feeling of exhaustion hit him all at once.

The Cosmic Creatures probably had no idea... if they had held on for another ten minutes or so, Su Ming might have become exhausted and his condition would have drastically declined.

However... they were Cosmic Creatures after all, and their intelligence was indeed far inferior to normal intelligent beings.

Since the battle was over, Su Ming didn't dwell on the soreness.

The soreness was a good sign; he figured that once his body and mind recovered, he would experience another significant boost.

Everyone returned to the Spaceship. The soldiers surrounded Su Ming, their faces excited as they prepared to shower him with praise.

But Su Ming gave a wry smile, pushed through the crowd, and went straight back to his own dormitory. He plopped down on his bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Even at an extremely high life level, sleep was still necessary.

It wasn't like what was said in Xianxia novels, where the more powerful one became, the less sleep they needed.

Sleep allowed the body to recover to its maximum potential.

In fact, the higher one's cultivation realm, the more effectively they could utilize sleep!

Everyone was stunned. Seeing Su Ming head directly for his dormitory, they exchanged glances and then smiled in understanding.

No one expected this battle to be won thanks to a mechanic on a spaceship, leaving everyone with a sense of having narrowly escaped death.

But... despite everyone feeling relieved now, there wasn't the slightest thought of celebrating.

They weren't out of danger yet. As long as they were in this star system, they could still be attacked by cosmic creatures infected with the virus.

After all, once infected, cosmic creatures not only possessed higher energy levels but also exhibited extreme aggression and infectivity.

Who knew if cosmic creatures in more distant star systems would also become infected.

No one dared to linger. They quickly piloted their spaceship and sped towards the nearest star system.

And not long after everyone encountered the cosmic creature riot, the Lothar Alliance's research into super gene potions was also exposed by the media.

If this had been done in secret, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Every faction would have been doing some research to some extent.

But now that it was public, and it had caused a massive cosmic creature riot...

With side effects like aggression and contagiousness from the potions, the cosmic citizens immediately developed immense resistance towards it.

No matter how prosperous the development of technology appeared, viruses were always one of the things all citizens feared.

The panic caused by viruses was still quite strong.

For a time, the Lothar Alliance was like a rat crossing the street, with everyone wanting to beat it.

Even the Empire issued condemnations and intended to dispatch troops to punish the Lothar Alliance.

But anyone with eyes could see... the Empire's involvement at this time...

Clearly, they had their sights set on the super gene potions the Lothar Alliance was developing
