The Void race's talents are an important part of Kasuyi's combat power, but now most of these talents are frozen, and his combat power is far from its peak, with all his stats declining. Therefore, he didn't hold back at all in this attack.
This trump card, brewing for several days, is a burst skill of Kasuyi, somewhat similar in mechanism to his own [Charge - Endless Charge]. During the charge-up period, Kasuyi cannot use his psychic power; he must compress it within his brain and continuously replenish it with the energy generated by his cells, like a reservoir. Then, he uses his mental power to seal the floodgates, like a dam, releasing the floodwaters when facing the enemy, unleashing a torrent of energy that is like curing a long-standing constipation, possessing an extremely high attack coefficient bonus.
A single strike not only inflicts high damage but also inflicts various forms of negative mental attributes, causing the opponent to enter a state of [Soul Weakness], resulting in a percentage decrease in all attributes. Depending on the target's strength, the duration can range from several hours to several years.
Milton was suddenly dealt a heavy blow, and his momentum instantly weakened. He could only exert a portion of his strength. Kasuyi came prepared and, through careful planning, immediately weakened the opponent's overall combat power.
As the irritable Kekezi knocked the opposing team leader away online, the other eight people were enraged and immediately retaliated, unleashing a barrage of attacks of various forms of Beyond Grade A power at Kasuyi, including martial arts aura, magic, energy cannons, and supernatural abilities.
Seeing this, Han Xiao sighed, and with a flash, he stood in front of Kasuyi.
When we formed the team, we agreed that my main role was to act as a tank.
How could Kekezi's delicate body withstand the ravages of eight strong men? She still needs me, her indestructible field, to be her main tank.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the next instant, all eight people's powerful attacks landed on him.
Rumble!!
Various energies erupted, instantly expanding into a giant sphere of light. The earth collapsed, matter annihilated and evaporated, and the entire planet looked like a piece of fruit that had been bitten off.
A huge, circular crater appeared in the center of the site, extremely deep and wide, causing the temporary underground base to collapse naturally.
However, while they were exchanging words, Han Xiao had already secretly ordered his troops to relocate, so what was destroyed at this moment was just an empty shell of a base.
The dust settled quickly, and Han Xiao hovered in place, casually brushing the dust off his clothes. "That's not enough power," he said casually. "You guys need to practice more."
The eight people who were about to press their advantage suddenly froze on the spot, their faces filled with disbelief.
They saw their opponent take a hit from eight people, and thought that even if he wasn't dead, he would be seriously injured, or at the very least, he would be in a sorry state and reveal a weakness. But to their utter surprise, this guy named Black Star took a whole round of concentrated fire and ended up completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened!
How is that possible? The information says this guy is a mechanic!
It's no wonder they were shocked. Explored Universe and understood Han Xiao's abilities, but this was the first time they had ever witnessed an "Undying Body," and this was basically their reaction.
Just as the eight were losing their composure, Kasuyi's actions did not falter. After using Black Star as a shield to block a concentrated attack, his psychic power surged like a torrent, unleashing an area-of-effect attack that instantly cleaved into the mental world of the eight, dealing tons of mental damage and blasting away three of the slightly weaker Holy Body Grade superhumans.
He was already used to Black Star's toughness and took it for granted, so he wasn't surprised at all. Naturally, he wouldn't let the fleeting opportunity slip by and immediately launched a fierce attack on the enemy's weaknesses.
At this moment, Han Xiao also released his Mechanical Force to control the mechanical troops. The overwhelming mechanical soldiers roamed around like a flock of crows, constantly providing fire support. The enormous destructive power made the enemy's men feel helpless and put them in Danger at Every Turn.
Moreover, an Han Xiao milestone is playing a role at this time...
The [Civilization Leader Assassin] brought by Rotel!
The enemy's overall defense and resistances have been reduced by about 3% to 7%, making them even more vulnerable.
"I never thought I'd actually become a wanted criminal; this ability is coming in handy now..."
Han Xiao was helpless.
The exchange between the two sides seemed to last a long time, but at Beyond Grade A speed, only a few seconds passed from negotiation to the start of the battle.
The fierce battle broke out instantly. Although Milton's group of nine had the advantage in numbers and overall combat strength, they lost the initiative at the beginning and failed to gain any advantage over Han Xiao and Kasuyi. However, they were at least wearing standard gold suits, so their disadvantage was not too great, and the two sides fought fiercely and evenly.
"These people seem a little weak..."
Han Xiao multitasked, glancing at the battle information on the panel.
These three Supreme Grade experts are equivalent to the Peak Beyond Grade A, but that does not mean that all three of them have an extremely high level of Divine Transformation. In fact, only Milton has activated the Divine Transformation path.
When I advanced to level 300, my energy level was just over 70,000, which allowed me to enter the Peak Beyond Grade A rank. It was only when my energy level exceeded 78,000 and my strength realm exceeded Lv21 that I began the path of Divine Transformation. This path has a threshold; not all Peak Beyond Grade A undergo Divine Transformation.
Although Han Xiao didn't know Kasuyi's energy level, he conservatively estimated it to be over 90,000, with at least ten levels of Divine Transformation. Meanwhile, Milton, the strongest opponent, only had an energy level close to 80,000. Although the opponent had one more Peak Beyond Grade A, their combat advantage was not as high as he had imagined.
As for the other six Holy Body Grade experts, Han Xiao also glanced at them. Only two of them were S+ level contestants with an energy level exceeding 52,000, while the other four were weaklings with energy levels between 43,000 and 48,000.
"The quantity is impressive, but the quality..."
Han Xiao shook his head secretly.
Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, he and Kasuyi are powerful beings who Explored Universe. Even among the Peak Beyond Grade A, they are among the strongest. There is no need to underestimate themselves.
Of course, the Federation of All Stars has nearly ten thousand Beyond Grade A members, and there should be some who can be compared to the two of us. But putting aside whether such a person would work for the Super Security Department, even if they did have such an expert, they wouldn't send him out casually. After all, the two of us haven't shown much strength before, and perhaps in the eyes of the Super Security Department, sending out nine Beyond Grade A members is already overkill.
call--
A Pugilist Class at the Holy Body Grade charged left and right, reaching Han Xiao and raising a blood-red, gold-level sword to stab at his eyes.
Han Xiao remained calm and easily dodged the attack, the gleaming blade illuminating his nostalgic eyes.
It's been so many years, and finally someone has shoved their finger in my face again. I'd almost forgotten what that felt like...
He even had the leisure to sized up his opponent before unleashing a backhand punch that left a trail of afterimages. The speed was unparalleled, and his powerful strength and agility allowed him to even surpass the speed of this professional martial artist.
Thump!
A fist slammed into Han Xiao's face with tremendous force. It was as if a symphony had been played in the other person's mind, with gongs, drums, and accordions all ringing out at once. The person was like a baseball that had been hit by a bat, flying out of Han Xiao's sight in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Han Xiao nodded slightly.
"Hmm, it seems that even here, life in the Pugilist Class is just as tough..."
After only a short exchange, Han Xiao was able to conclude that the pursuit team posed no real threat, giving him more time to observe his opponents and gather intelligence.
The opposing team consisted of nine people: two psychics, three martial artists, two mages, one mechanic, and one telekinetic. The team was well-equipped, with all five skill sets represented.
Han Xiao was primarily observing the opponent's only mechanic, a Supreme Grade expert.
Because there are no Secondary Dimension here, some professional abilities in the five major systems have changed accordingly. Although there are some substitute abilities, overall the strength of these abilities is not as good as in the main universe. For example, some special energies that are born in Secondary Dimension cannot be mastered by people here.
Without any Secondary Dimension Army Box, Han Xiao wondered how the mechanics here summoned legions on a large scale.
After careful observation, and with the help of the information provided in the battle report, he quickly understood the opponent's methods.
"First, the Compression Ball Technology was innovated, revealing a unique Mechanical Force resonance change. Then, using an ability similar to Apostolization, new properties were given to the Mechanical Force, and some cells were altered, transforming the body into a barracks space. The machinery in the compression sphere state, enhanced by Mechanical Force, can be further compressed and absorbed into the body for storage, much like the effect of Secondary Dimension Army Box... However, this ability has limitations. Like Apostolization, the more machinery stored in the body, the higher the load, which will simultaneously reduce the upper limit of life and strength..."
Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
This is indeed a feasible approach, and while the idea isn't particularly novel, it has its merits. The main issue is the highly complex Mechanical Force conversion techniques involved, which should be abilities automatically generated during advancement or job change. However, due to the subtle differences between this system and the systems on both sides of the Explored Universe, the abilities generated during job change are also different, somewhat similar to different branches within the same system.
In comparison, Secondary Dimension Army Box and Dimensional Factory are far more convenient, as they have no load and can store an unlimited number of troops, making them far superior. However, storing troops within a body also has its advantages, namely, it is not affected by spatial stabilizers.
However, understanding the other party's methods does not mean that the principle has been cracked, and Han Xiao currently has no way to learn this technique.
The two sides fought fiercely, rolling and tumbling, without regard for the aftershocks. The planet was quickly crushed into a stream of cosmic dust, and the battlefield shifted to the stars.
Han Xiao was busy observing when, at that moment, the voice of Kasuyi rang in his mind.
"Black Star, why aren't you using the Mechanical Deity? Hurry up and take out one or two of them!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it good that things are at a stalemate now? Let me gather more intelligence."
Kasuyi: "I'm out of energy."
You're going to play me?!
The thought flashed through Han Xiao's mind subconsciously.
But then he realized... this time, the other person probably really had run out of mana.
Of course, the battle had only just begun, and when Kasuyi said he was out of mana, it was just an exaggeration; he could sustain himself for a long time. However, from a long-term perspective, his mana regeneration methods were limited, and one person's endurance couldn't match that of nine opponents. If it became a war of attrition, he would inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position. Therefore, he didn't want Han Xiao to continue slacking off and planned to take advantage of his good condition to achieve some results and clip the enemy's Wings.
"Alright, since you've made that request..."
Han Xiao didn't take it seriously and was preparing to activate the Mechanical Deity Descent and go all out.
But just then, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, Milton nine companions stopped attacking and retreated rapidly, their mechs glowing with intricate and beautiful blue magic patterns.
Wow!
The next moment, the nine figures vanished without a trace.
"Um?"
Han Xiao stopped moving and immediately scanned his surroundings with his senses, but found no target.
With his opponent gone, Kasuyi stopped and used his telekinesis to probe his surroundings, but found nothing.
The nine powerful individuals who came to pursue them seem to have suddenly used teleportation magic runes to escape.
The two exchanged a bewildered glance, each with only one thought in their mind...
That's it?!
"Could they have really escaped?"
Even the master technician was completely baffled.
No, I haven't even used any force yet!
The enemy suffered no casualties and retained most of their fighting strength, only falling slightly behind, yet they decisively ran away. Are they really that cowardly?
Is the Beyond Grade A" here the legendary type who's all smiles when things are going well, but goes AFK when things are going badly, only good at winning games?!
Kasuyi opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.
The group of pursuers came with great force, and he thought they wouldn't give up until they got what they wanted. But they were so skilled at escaping; they came and went in a hurry, without even uttering a threat. Their efficiency was unmatched.
"Black Star, shall we give chase?"
"... I'm a mechanic, not a magician. Locating teleportation locations isn't my forte. Besides, it was a strategic retreat; everyone was safe and sound. It would be too arrogant for us to turn around Pursuit them."
"So what do we do now?"
"Forget it, since they've already run away, might as well test how effective this concealment device is."
Han Xiao shook his head helplessly, took out the green-gold metal piece, input energy to activate it, carefully examined it, but did not feel any change, so he simply put it in his pocket and kept it in the activated state.
They've gathered all the intelligence and confirmed that the cooperation plan with the Super Security Department is not feasible. Now, their only option is to go find the Mysterious Person.
The two quickly tidied up the battlefield, did not linger, and immediately left the scene, heading to the location agreed upon by the Mysterious Person.
Meanwhile, in a distant part of space far from the battlefield, nine beams of light flashed, and Milton and his group were teleported there.
Taking a breath, Milton endured the persistent, needle-like pain in his brain and spoke in a low voice over the team's communication channel:
"The department's assessment was flawed. This target is incredibly strong, even among the Supreme Grade experts. Especially that one named Black Star, who possesses incredible regenerative abilities. Our attacks are barely enough to threaten his life. With just nine of us, the success rate of capturing him is too low. Let's request reinforcements from headquarters."
"Clear."
The others nodded.
Although they could continue fighting, they felt it was unnecessary.
After the brief exchange, they realized that they probably couldn't catch their target with just this few men, so they decisively retreated and prepared to call for backup without any delay.
The Super Security Department's culture discourages overreaching—if the two sides are evenly matched, simply call for reinforcements; forcing the issue is a waste of time, with a low success rate and the risk of casualties, making it a losing proposition.
So what if the enemy is powerful? We outnumber them, and we'll crush them with sheer numbers!
Nine aren't enough? Then double the number of pursuers! Double isn't enough? Then triple! I refuse to believe you can hold out forever!
Anyway, we're a law enforcement agency, we don't need to talk about morality with wanted criminals, we only care about the success rate!
The agents of the Super Security Department have always operated in this manner, and the confidence behind this approach lies in the existence of the Positioning Star Map.
Since the Positioning Star Map can be re-locked at any time regardless of its location, there is no fear of the target running away, and there is ample time to deploy troops.
However, just then, before the group could contact headquarters, headquarters suddenly sent an urgent communication request.
Milton answered the call and saw the face of the department head appear on the mech's built-in screen. His expression was serious, with a hint of annoyance.
"What did you do to those two fugitives?!" the department head demanded.
Milton, not knowing the source of his leader's anger, honestly replied:
"We just had a battle, and the team unanimously agreed that they couldn't lock onto the target, so they decided to make a strategic retreat and call for backup... What happened?"
"I want to know what happened!" The department head, his face ashen, roared, "Just now, the Positioning Star Map suddenly lost track of the two individuals; the targets vanished into thin air, and we can't find them anywhere!"
Milton's eyes widened in shock.
We retreated, and the Positioning Star Map became invalid immediately?!
How could that be!
What did those two people do?!
His confident mindset instantly crumbled.
