Strategic support tactics are known for their powerful off-field firepower. Han Xiao particularly favors this rogue style of play. Over the course of two years, he replenished the number of satellite orbital cannons, keeping them constantly in the Blacklight Stealth ' warehouse. They are essential weapons for home, travel, murder, and robbery.
The fiery mushroom cloud continued to expand and rise, its power astounding, and a crater was blasted into the ground.
Without delay, Han Xiao propelled his mech's thrusters forward, charging into the explosion zone and heading straight for the bottom of the sinkhole.
The combat information indicated the damage caused by this salvo. Shana continuously reinforced the magnetic field shield, offsetting a large amount of damage. Combined with her equipment's defense and personal resistance, this was not enough to seriously injure her. Moreover, with dozens of orbital strikes fired simultaneously, the attack power was naturally not concentrated enough, wasting a lot of its power.
The greatest effect of this attack was to briefly reverse the situation and disrupt the opponent's control. Han Xiao did not intend to give Shana a chance to catch her breath and immediately pursued her. He saw Shana and her shield being blasted into the ground, and a hemispherical magnetic field shield was exposed at the bottom of the sinkhole, which was very conspicuous in the flames and dust.
boom--
Just then, Shana suddenly raised her head. Her mask had shattered, revealing a distorted face with a trickle of blood running down her forehead. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if she had anticipated Han Xiao's pursuit. She pressed her palm against the ground, and a fountain of metallic particles erupted from the ground beneath Han Xiao, reaching out to grab Han Xiao.
Grade A superhumans are all experienced in combat. The moment they were struck by the orbital attack, Shana guessed Han Xiao's next move. While resisting the attack, she also set up a trap, condensing metal particles into the surrounding ground, all in order to catch the Black Star that was flying around like a fly.
However, the next moment, Han Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared.
call--
Less than a meter behind her, she suddenly heard a gust of wind. Her keen senses told her that there was another person inside the magnetic field shield.
Racial Trait - Advanced Void Travel!
"How did he break through the magnetic field shield and get in?!" Shana's expression changed drastically. Before she could turn around, a large hand encased in bone-white mecha grabbed the back of her head. An irresistible force erupted, and with a bang, she was shoved face down into the ground.
The next second, the gray light of void energy overflowed from inside the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit, surging and converging on its arm.
Full-power Void Jet!
Boom boom boom--
Void Jet can ignore cooldowns and attack continuously, but at the cost of ever-increasing energy consumption. Han Xiao showed no mercy and almost exhausted all the remaining energy of the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit.
On his first attempt, he activated the injection module within the mech, injecting a gene serum. Over the past two years, he has captured countless space pirates, and his private prison has been renamed "The Space Pirates' Cozy Cottage." He has collected a large quantity of gene serums, enabling him to adapt to any situation. This particular serum grants his temporary character the ability to more easily cause dizziness with combos.
The series of Void Jet directly triggered this effect, putting Shana into a dazed state. Her mind was in chaos, and she was powerless to resist. So she could only obediently endure Han Xiao's storm of attacks, letting him do as he pleased, and being blasted until her whole body trembled.
After the final shot, Shana was still dizzy and unable to use her abilities. Without saying a word, Han Xiao immediately switched to the Mad Ape and entered the Berserk overload state of lightning and thunder!
Arms raised high, blinding lightning energy gathered in both fists.
The next instant, both fists slammed down!
Bang!!
A spiderweb of lightning exploded, and the bottom of the sinkhole was once again covered with cracks, followed by a deafening roar!
Han Xiao Quan in this attack, combining the Mad Ape's [Power Blast], his own [Gene Liberation], and the critical hit that was accidentally triggered while Shana was stunned, resulting in a damage multiplier of more than ten times, making its destructive power extremely terrifying!
Click!
Even with the deafening sound of the impact, Han Xiao could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking coming from Shana beneath him.
Han Xiao remained calm and ruthless. He grabbed Shana by the neck, took a lunge position, and twisted his body sharply. Like throwing a softball, he flung Shana away. The moment she left his hand, a circular shockwave exploded in the air.
Berserk Throw!
call--
Shana flew straight out like a cannonball, instantly disappearing from the area covered by the mushroom cloud, growing farther and farther away until she almost vanished from sight.
However, this combo wasn't over yet!
Shana flew far away and was about to recover from her dizziness when dozens of stars lit up the sky again.
Second round of orbital salvo!
Boom--
The second mushroom cloud slowly rose.
The shockwave arrived as expected. Han Xiao's legs underwent Nano Transformation, turning into a foundation that firmly stabilized his body, preventing him from being blown away.
With a flick of his wrist, Han Xiao summoned a massive, square-shaped gun at his feet. It resembled a large box, standing a full two meters tall, with over twenty densely packed nozzles on its top. It was a bomb-spraying weapon. He shouldered it and fired at the center of the second mushroom cloud in the distance.
Tongtongtong--
Countless specially designed grenade launchers, trailing plumes of flame, shot out of the box, traversing parabolic arcs, covering long distances, and striking the target location, unleashing a series of violent explosions.
The launched missiles were all low-yield nuclear grenades and space-warping bombs, quickly emptying the magazines.
In the distance, Gadeli finally managed to rescue Jayn from the metal sphere.
The two of them swallowed hard as they watched this scene.
--That's too brutal, it's practically torture...
The magazine was empty. This combo had dealt tons of damage, but there was still no kill notification, proving that Shana was still alive. As a near-A+ superhuman, she was also very resilient. Han Xiao switched to the Void Dragon again, consuming energy to restore some of the mech's energy.
Just as he was about to press his advantage, Shana's figure suddenly burst out of the mushroom cloud, soaring into the sky at high speed, followed closely by all the giant metal snakes, merging together like a solitary peak rising from the ground.
"She's trying to escape? No! She's going to dismantle my satellite orbital cannon."
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, he activated the jetpack, and gave chase.
The two headed straight for outer space, one after the other.
"Damn it..." Shana glanced at Han Xiao chasing below, gritting her teeth.
She had taken a full combo of attacks, and the damage was greatest while she was stunned. She was now severely injured, her left arm hanging limply, the bone shattered into an abstract work of art. Her left leg was also twisted abnormally. The left side of her body had been severely ravaged by Han Xiao. She didn't even know how many ribs she still had connected. Her chest and back were burning with pain, and she was in extremely poor condition.
It had been a very long time since she had suffered such a serious injury. At this moment, she was both shocked and furious. She was shocked by the sudden burst of firepower from Black Star, and furious that she had been severely injured.
"If Eilet were here..." Shana couldn't help but think of her mage partner, secretly regretting her solo actions; she had really been too reckless this time.
Despite being severely injured, Shana was furious and had no intention of retreating. She planned to go to outer space to dismantle all of Black Star's fire support, so that the battle could still go on.
In Han Xiao's vision, the ground shrank rapidly as the two rushed into the sky. He controlled all the Eye of Divine Might to aim at Shana and fired in turn, trying to slow down her flight.
However, Shana was prepared. Her flight path was unpredictable, never in a straight line, and she used a massive metal serpent as a shield, blocking or dodging all the orbital energy cannons.
It seemed he couldn't stop her... Han Xiao calmly assessed the situation and, without hesitation, activated the recovery system for all satellite cannons. The Eye of Divine Might flew back to the Blacklight Stealth warehouse one after another. He planned to have Resta take the weapons and leave the battlefield again. Given the Blacklight Stealth ' mobility, Shana would be helpless.
The two finally approached the edge of the atmosphere, where they were surrounded by the pitch-black universe. The Blacklight Stealth had retrieved all the satellite cannons and were starting to move away from the planet.
Shana gritted her teeth, barely managing to raise her right arm, about to activate her supernatural power.
Han Xiao's Advanced Void Travel hadn't cooled down yet, and he was just about to unleash another Void Jet on Shana when suddenly, an arc-shaped beam of light shot from the ground, hitting Shana precisely. This time, she was caught off guard and was blasted away, tumbling through the air.
On the ground, Gadeli operated a colossal Sniping with both hands. This shot was fired by him. As a gunsmith, he carried firearms adapted to various situations, and this giant weapon was specifically designed for railgun Sniping.
Gadeli is Grade A gunsmith. Although he was beaten up by Shana because of his ability counter, he is not without his Frenzied Sword Fried Rice. When Sniping targets in outer space on a planet, one must consider parameters such as the planet's rotation speed. However, for someone of his rank, this is routine. As long as the gun itself is of sufficient performance, his Sniping range is extremely high.
This interrupted Shana's ability, Blacklight Stealth sped away, escaping Shana's ability range.
Shana managed to steady herself, floating in the air, staring intently at Han Xiao, feeling that the situation had become extremely difficult.
Given her current state, the chances of capturing and defeating the three Calamity Grade, including Black Star, were extremely slim, and Shana immediately considered retreating.
Shana didn't want to gamble with her life on something she was clearly not confident about; there was no need for it. Even if she failed, she could always come back with her companions next time. This failure was at most a warning to the enemy.
But in her view, even if Black Star was on guard, it was useless. She hadn't revealed any information, and Black Star had no idea who was watching him.
Next time, as long as you bring powerful allies, with overwhelming combat strength, Black Star will be defeated regardless of whether he is prepared or not.
With this in mind, Shana's anger subsided, she regained her composure, and swallowed her anger at the loss.
She didn't want to get entangled any longer. With a flick of her hand, the giant metal snake lunged at Han Xiao. Then, she summoned a single-person spaceship and quickly sat in the cockpit.
Han Xiao was entangled by the giant metal snake and couldn't give chase. He didn't even think about it. The Void Dragon Mechanical Suit couldn't outrun the spaceship, and the Mad Ape would be countered. It was indeed difficult for him to keep Shana.
Most importantly, although Shana is a formidable opponent, Han Xiao does not want to kill Shana here.
Shana's spaceship quickly moved away, and before entering warp, Han Xiao sent Shana an Observation Mark.
Without Shana's control, the giant metal serpent instantly disintegrated and fell to the ground like rain.
Han Xiao hovered in the air, watching the streak of light left by Shana's spaceship, and curled his lips.
"Trying to treat me like prey? It's not that easy..."
The mysterious organization Shana belongs to has its eyes on him. Even if he kills Shana, there will still be powerful enemies coming to Pursuit him down. It's just a temporary solution.
Han Xiao currently knows nothing about this mysterious organization and urgently needs intelligence.
Observation Mark is an excellent ability to steal intelligence. By letting Shana go, Han Xiao was planning to use a long-term strategy to catch a bigger fish.
The key tasks are to figure out the origin and scale of this mysterious organization and find their base. After all, there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days, and Han Xiao doesn't want to live in constant fear of being ambushed at any moment.
This mysterious organization is a ticking time bomb, and the most efficient way to eliminate the threat once and for all is to do so.
Although he would still have to face Shana, who restrained him, Han Xiao decided to shift the focus of mechanical manufacturing during this period. He began to mass-produce non-metallic machinery and special machinery that could manipulate magnetic fields, in order to minimize Shana's restraint on his abilities.
Given time, Mechanic Class can develop any means of countermeasures.
"However, this woman is really formidable. Without two helpers, I'll have a very tough time."
Han Xiao let out a breath. In a one-on-one fight, with his Health and Mana Conversion, the battle would become a war of attrition, and the chances of Shana defeating him would be extremely low. However, relying solely on his tankiness would make him suffer a lot. Fortunately, he had two helpers, Jayn and Gadeli, to share the firepower, which prevented him from being at a disadvantage throughout the entire fight.
Having defeated Shana, the hidden Grade A chain quest [Prey] popped up with a notification that the first stage was completed, granting over 30 million experience points. Han Xiao didn't immediately extract Shana's abilities; Fording wasn't around, and he was unsure of himself.
"Let's go back to base and draw again..." Han Xiao shook his head helplessly.
He couldn't win over Lady Luck no matter how hard he tried, while Fording could make her spread her legs willingly. People are just different. He was also very desperate.
