Taking the main cannon head-on?! (1)

Mothership main gun!

Han Xiao immediately tensed up. The main cannon's power was far greater than that of ordinary shipborne light cannons. Given the size of the DarkStar mothership, a single shot to a planet would at least create a crater. Using it to deal with him alone was like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito!

"Did I push Degulish too far...? "Han Xiao couldn't help but wonder.

I should have toned it down. I should have screamed loudly and pretended that Degulish's attack had caused me great harm. After all, he at least tried! It would have been too hurtful to his pride if I hadn't reacted!

They're dealing with a Calamity Grade, after all; don't they have any pride?

Han Xiao wasn't sure how much damage a single main cannon shot could inflict on him. Although his own durability had been proven in actual combat, he was still unsure and quite apprehensive about facing interstellar weapons of the mothership's main cannon level.

The nemesis of fast healing is high damage output, such as Ames's unreasonable Dragon Calm Throw. As long as the damage exceeds the healing rate, Ames will die.

The mothership's main gun is clearly in the high-damage category. Although it is far from being a weapon of the same level as a planet-destroying cannon, its power is still very strong. If a typical Calamity Grade does not use its abilities and only relies on its physical strength to defend itself, it would probably be reduced to dust after taking a single shot from the main gun. If it is lucky, it might be left with some charred pieces of meat.

So...

Only a fool would stay and get fired at!

Without saying a word, Han Xiao put on the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit, which had regained some of its durability, and flew into the sky.

The Blacklight Stealth swooped down, ready to intercept Han Xiao.

"Stay here!" Ignoring the rapidly approaching players, Ashes raised his hand, and the black tide transformed into countless attacks, grabbing at Han Xiao.

However, the Black Tide's speed cannot match the speed of the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit at full flight.

Just then, Degulish's forehead veins bulged, and his legs stomped off the ground, cracking the ground for hundreds of meters. Like a streak of light, he rushed to Han Xiao's head with super explosive power, almost teleporting. His aura soared to the sky, gathering in his fist to form a swirling vortex that emitted a dazzling light. This was his martial arts skill, and Han Xiao had been hit by this move more than once before.

Han Xiao only had time to raise his arms before a fist radiating intense light struck the center of his crossed arms.

Bang!!

It was like a bright purple sun exploding in mid-air!

A powerful force surged towards him. Han Xiao was in mid-air with no point of leverage. His vision blurred, and he only saw the Blacklight Stealth away from him at high speed. Then, a violent impact shook his back, and he was torn apart by the ground and fell continuously. The earth and rocks quickly filled his vision, and only a small dot of sky remained in his field of vision.

This explosive punch sent Han Xiao flying from the sky into the ground, where he was pierced an unknown distance.

With both arms aching and weak, and a "fracture" mark appearing on the panel, Han Xiao secretly marveled at the extraordinary power of Calamity Grade martial artist's fist. At the same time, he activated his Qi to proliferate cells and quickly repair the damage.

The fractured bone was joined together by the pressure of the muscles, and the cells proliferated, reconnecting the bone in the blink of an eye.

Cell proliferation can repair damage to any part of the body. As long as you consciously repair your body, you can recover from injuries such as fractures and disabilities while restoring blood flow. This was a side effect that Han Xiao discovered when he was ganged up on earlier; otherwise, all his bones would have been shattered.

thump thump thump--

Before he could catch his breath, the ground above him exploded again. Degulish shattered the ground in that area, his fist striking deep into the earth like a human bulldozer.

Han Xiao didn't want to be buried alive, so he smashed through the rain of rubble and flew out. The black tide of Ashes surged back, hindering him for a moment.

"Got you!"

Degulish charged forward, grabbing Han Xiao's waist in a tight embrace. He quickly shifted his position behind Han Xiao, forming a locking technique with both hands, intending to use force to suppress and restrict Han Xiao's movements. He was determined not to let Han Xiao escape and was determined to give him a good beating.

In terms of strength, Han Xiao was indeed no match for a Calamity Grade martial artist, and he had no intention of wrestling with Degulish.

brush--

At this moment, Terry seized the opportunity to strike, and several metal plates extended, aiming at Han Xiao's eyes, throat, heart, and other vital areas.

Ta-da!

Two Oathkeeper blocked his way, deploying their shields to deflect the attack. Each time an Oathkeeper underwent [Scrap Modification], its quality decreased by one level. The two Oathkeeper were pierced by the metal shards after only a short time, but they had bought Han Xiao some time.

Han Xiao Quan, taking Degulish into the air and dodging Terry's attack.

He struggled twice but couldn't break free from Degulish's grappling technique, so he changed tactics. The mecha's legs suddenly split open, and Han Xiao slid out of the mecha, easily escaping. At the same time, he used Mechanical Force to pull the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit apart, which then reformed onto his body.

Degulish missed his target and landed together with Han Xiao, who then distanced himself from him.

The threat of the mothership's main gun lingered in Han Xiao's mind. With each second he delayed, his sense of crisis deepened. However, Degulish and Terry were watching him closely, and he knew he would be stopped once he took to the air.

The Blacklight Stealth hovered overhead, not daring to get too close to the two Calamity Grade; they were capable of dismantling spaceships too.

The battle lasted for more than five minutes, and the cooldown of [Void Travel] was ready. Han Xiao wanted to teleport to the spaceship, but once he entered the void, he would pass through physical objects and be unable to affect real things. He couldn't even use his mecha and could only use Mechanical Force magnetic field to float in the air. The duration of [Void Travel] was not enough to support him flying into the spaceship.

"This is really bad..."

Han Xiao felt helpless and turned to look at the hundreds of thousands of players rushing towards him.

If the players can hold off the three Calamity Grade for a short while, creating an opening, he can escape the battlefield. As the saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one." Brothers, my buddies, now it's up to you...

Ashes snapped his fingers several times.

Clap clap clap

Hundreds of thousands of players suffered a sharp drop in health, falling on their way to victory, and were resurrected in droves as white light.

Ashes's power is extremely domineering. Without the ability to resist true damage, any target weaker than him is simply not qualified to fight him. Numbers are meaningless. That is why DarkStar used him as a killing machine, easily slaughtering tens of millions of people in the Long Arc.

Hundreds of thousands of players respawned one after another in the base square, causing a great commotion and constant exclamations.

"Damn, I died instantly!"

"Carbon element dissociation? https://m. hetushu. com. com All true damage, is this boss really that freakish?!"

"We're all dead; it's obvious we can't participate in the battlefield where Black Star is."

"So, this must be a plot device."

The story of the plot-driven death spread quickly, and most people believed it. No one wanted to join in the fun anymore. In the game, you can only die ten times every six days, and players didn't want to waste their limited number of deaths on Infinite plot-driven deaths. They could only crane their necks and watch the battlefield on Han Xiao's side.

This wasn't their first time watching cutscenes, such as the Germinal and the Six Nations War in version 1.0, and the recent battle against the Mutation Source. Everyone was used to it... Speaking of which, our Planet Aquamarine really has a lot of storylines, huh? Great.

Everyone felt that this was another storyline focusing on Black Star, and they were quite curious about what would happen next.

Many players believe that the sudden crisis on Planet Aquamarine is a transition signal, a plot event, indicating that they are about to leave the beginner planet.

As the leader of the "Guiding Faction," Black Star will likely remain the Leader of their faction for a long time to come. Therefore, many story-driven players believe that Black Star will very likely shine in this event and leave a deeper impression, although it is still unclear what exactly will happen.

Seeing hundreds of thousands of people die in unison, Han Xiao couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Well, we can't count on these players; the Calamity Grade is beyond our reach.

The three of them, Degulish, surrounded Han Xiao in a triangle formation, but instead of engaging him, they created a small distance between themselves and Han Xiao.

The three didn't want Han Xiao to escape, but they also didn't want to be dragged into the shelling by Han Xiao, since the shelling didn't discriminate between friend and foe.

"Resta, can you stop that mothership in outer space from firing?"

Han Xiao asked in a low voice from inside the mecha helmet.

"I can't help it, I infiltrated another mothership, I can only check the situation for you... Oh no, the main gun of this mothership is about to finish charging, the target has been locked, you have about 8.6 seconds left." Resta's voice echoed in the mech helmet.

"Looks like we can't avoid this attack. Hang in there, I can hold on..."

Han Xiao had no choice but to cheer himself up, throwing down several compressed balls that transformed into layers of alloy shields, encasing himself inside. These were portable tactical defensive fortresses specifically designed for defense; they had no other function than being incredibly tough.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining mechanical legion sprang into action, charging towards Han Xiao one after another. They pounced on the fortress, using their bodies to form a shield, and opened their shields, all pointing towards the sky.

Degulish and his two companions didn't want to get close to the mothership's main gun range. As long as Black Star couldn't escape, that was enough. The three turned to attack the mechanical legions converging from all directions. One mechanical warrior after another fell, but only a portion managed to get through the gaps in their attacks and reach the fortress. The defensive line constructed by the mechanical warriors continued to grow thicker.

The remaining floating shuttles and mechanical hands also flew into the air and deployed their shields.

Han Xiao deployed almost all the defensive machinery he could find. He didn't know how much power these measures could offset. He restored his health to full, focused his mind, and prepared to use Aurora's character card at any time.

Just then, Degulish, who was fighting off the mechanical legion, received a signal from the mothership. The three of them simultaneously stopped and hurriedly moved away from the area.

"Mission accomplished! Black Star has nowhere to escape!"

Degulish revealed a satisfied smile. Their pursuit and interception were all aimed at getting the mothership's main guns to hit Black Star Black Star, which was the most likely way to kill him.

Meanwhile, inside the defensive fortress, Han Xiao's vigilance was at its peak. He activated [Counterattack - Thorns], which he had drawn from the Germinal Leader. This skill could negate 30% of the damage from the next attack.

"It's coming!"
