Capturing the Triangle Body Lifeform

The other two Federation soldiers nodded, accepting Sergeant Major Dark Star's answer without giving it much thought.

As long as they completed their orders to the satisfaction of their superiors without violating Federation battlefield regulations, that was all that mattered.

They could dry up the surface of this ocean planet with Psionics, for all anyone cared.

They could even turn most of the Triangle Body lifeforms on the planet into delicious food and eat them until they were nearly extinct. No one would stop them.

After all, they were just alien vermin. In front of Federation soldiers, they always had one option left: die.

Sometimes, being allowed to die was already a tremendous blessing from the Federation for those alien vermin.

Their main mission this time was to capture a hundred living Triangle Body lifeforms, as high-ranking as possible, and take them back.

As for the rest of the Triangle Body lifeforms on the planet, since they were already here, cleaning house was a specialty Federation soldiers were good at.

The Psionics of the three Federation soldiers had covered nearly the entire planet the instant they set foot on it.

The distortion of Psionics that had just instantly evaporated a vast stretch of ocean had killed countless alien lifeforms on the planet, including tens of thousands of Triangle Body lifeforms.

As far as the eye could see, the remains of countless bodies were dissolving across the seafloor.

But tens of thousands of Mottled Blue Triangle Body Warriors were also charging toward the three of them.

The moment the Triangle Body lifeforms on the planet learned that three terrifying Federation soldiers had landed, they had sent their entire army to hunt them down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before they had even come within a thousand meters, wave after wave of terrifying infrasonic attacks struck without warning.

The three Federation soldiers couldn't dodge, but they didn't need to.

The Psionic barriers they casually raised, together with their armor, let them ignore all of the enemy's conventional attacks with ease.

The Triangle Body lifeforms' infrasonic attacks were also powerful brainwave assaults, aimed directly at the mind.

Against these Triangle Body Warriors, Super Soldiers from the Shenhe Technology System might have found the fight troublesome.

But Federation Psionic warriors were extremely adept at manipulating the psychic dimension, which made them highly resistant to such feeble mental attacks.

Boom!

The moment several thousand frontline warriors of the Mottled Blue Galactic Empire appeared, surging Psionics invaded their minds.

Figures like flying fish froze in midair, forming a spectacular sight.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

A mist of blood spread as if a torrential rain had begun to fall.

According to their civilization's system, the Triangle Body Warriors swarming in to attack were roughly ranked as follows:

Soldiers, or frontline warriors, were equivalent to second-generation warriors of the Shenhe Technology System. Generals were the latest generation of Triangle Body Warriors, whose power could just about match third-generation warriors of the Shenhe Technology System—but only match them; they couldn't stand against them on equal terms in every respect.

Beyond them, a "king" of the Mottled Blue Galactic Empire also lived on this planet.

This Triangle Body warrior was exceptionally powerful, nearly able to trade blows with beings of the same caliber as the Three Kings of Angels from the Angel Civilization of old.

But in front of Federation soldiers, the Triangle Body Warriors were nothing but a bunch of trash.

Once the cannon-fodder Triangle Body Warriors were identified, Psionics crushed them to death on the spot.

After the general-class Triangle Body Warriors were carefully distinguished, powerful Psionics seized control of their brains through the psychic dimension.

They hung in midair like statues, forced to watch their Triangle Body kin die one by one.

"Wei Lao Qi, keep your eyes on them."

"I'm going to capture their king."

"Yes, Sergeant Major!"

After casually transferring control of the general-class Triangle Body Warriors' psychic dimensions to his nearby comrade, Sergeant Major Dark Star leaped into the air. His Psionics carried him through space in an instant, to the other side of Mottled Blue Star.

A group of Triangle Body lifeforms were there, fleeing the planet like headless flies.

Wei Lao Qi was a new Federation recruit, a native of Earth in this universe. He had once been a soldier in a special forces unit on Earth.

On the Human Federation's standard timeline, when the Federation took over Planet Earth more than ten years ago, it carried out three major ascension modifications on the entire population.

Some powerful Psionics users passed the Federation Army's assessments, earned approval to enlist, and successfully joined the Federation Psionic Troops.

Wei Lao Qi was one of them.

After this universe's Planet Earth had been transformed into Gaia Planet, its population had soared to nearly a hundred billion.

Every person on Earth had seamlessly joined the Federation's vast collective, and each of them had been accepted by the will of Federation civilization.

Though he had served for years, this was Wei Lao Qi's first time accompanying Sergeant Major Dark Star on a real deployment—an inhumane slaughter of native alien monsters on a native civilization's planet.

That was what happened when native civilizations in this universe were so pitifully few and weak.

The Federation's ships blotted out the sky, and the Federation Army had more service members than anyone could count.

Even if every native civilization in the Milky Way were wiped out in a single sweep of mission deployments, it would still be hard to give every Federation soldier a chance to take part in one.

Wei Lao Qi was lucky to have been approved for this mission, thanks to Sergeant Major Dark Star, who was leading him. He'd heard that the sergeant major had quite a background.

Wei Lao Qi had learned long ago where the Human Federation came from: it was a human civilization that had arrived from another universe.

According to things his comrades had said in private, Sergeant Major Dark Star had once followed the current Grand Marshal in person, in another universe.

They had fought on the same battlefield.

Sergeant Major Dark Star had even commanded an entire fleet at the current Grand Marshal's appointment.

But for some ridiculous reason, he had given up those high-ranking command positions and joined the Federation Army, becoming an ordinary grunt with seemingly no prospects.

Even so, thanks to his impressive record, Sergeant Major Dark Star had thrived in the Army. Whenever an urgent deployment came up, he always managed to secure a spot on the mission.

It was thanks to following him that Wei Lao San had been lucky enough to take part in this mission.

Watching one living Triangle Body after another vanish in an instant beneath his Psionic attacks, Wei Lao Qi felt almost nothing.

He had already seen scenes like this countless times in the Federation's realistic Psionic combat simulations. They were nothing new to him.

As Wei Lao Qi carried out his mission, he couldn't help reflecting to himself—

He thought back to Earth Civilization before the Federation took over, when a mere alien invasion had forced them to form something called Xiong Bing Lian and rely on a bunch of alien infiltrators of dubious quality to protect their civilization.

Wei Lao Qi felt that back then, it had all been like playing pretend.

How could relying on others to protect you—especially a bunch of aliens—compare to the thrill of wielding power yourself and letting the urge to kill take hold?

He had the Federation to thank for taking over Earth and allowing him to experience this unique new chapter of life.

But Wei Lao San also felt a little bored.

The reason was that these Triangle Body lifeforms were just too weak. Even he, a 50-ring Psionics user, could slaughter whole swathes of them with a casual gesture.

This bloody slaughter had certainly unleashed some of the pure, natural instincts embedded in human genes—

The instinct that said, "I am the legion. One man is an army, and a million soldiers exist for me alone!"

But this pure victory of the strong over the weak still left Wei Lao Qi wanting more.

He now longed for a real war, a battle of blood and iron that could completely break some kind of shackle inside him.

Perhaps it was the urging of a Psionics user's subconscious that made Wei Lao Qi vaguely feel that, after joining this mission, such a battle was not far off.
