Han Xiao felt his body become sluggish and heavy, and in the blink of an eye, he was covered with a large number of negative buffs.
"She really hasn't changed." Han Xiao's lips twitched, not surprised at all.
He had run the Stefan dungeon hundreds of times and had long since memorized the patterns. Even though the Stefan in the dungeon was weakened, her abilities remained the same. Han Xiao knew her fighting style like the back of his hand. The first move was to stack buffs on the enemy, which was exactly the same.
Without saying a word, Han Xiao used a Void Travel to create distance. Stefan was even more powerful in close combat and had extra damage against metal. He didn't want his mecha to be scrapped too soon.
"Luckily, we took down that telekinetic master named Ziglin first, otherwise things would be much more troublesome now."
With a thought flashing through his mind, Han Xiao continued his actions, controlling the mechanical legion to execute the entanglement tactics from Phillip's data, delaying the momentum of Stefan and her group rushing towards him. He himself, relying on the Mountain Ape Mech, used the legion as a barrier to move among them, occasionally getting close to the mage and the two Mechanic Class enemies, attempting to break through in close combat.
Nine veteran Calamity Grade put immense pressure on the Mechanical Legion, which quickly found itself in a fierce battle. One after another, scrapped mechanical creations fell to the ground, only to be pulled up by Han Xiao using [Scrap Modification] and returned to the battlefield.
A chaotic battlefield stretched before him, and the built-in tactical screen displayed various parameters as Han Xiao calmly analyzed the situation.
Stefan used her ability to interfere with the electromagnetic spectrum of a large area, making it impossible for Han Xiao to communicate with Vilton and the others. The Phillip subroutine that he had left for Vilton out of caution immediately came into play. Although he could not receive information about the location of the reinforcements, he could confirm that they were rushing over at high speed. His task now was not to fight head-on, but to buy time until the reinforcements arrived.
Rumble--
The commotion caused by the battle between ten Calamity Grade shook the earth. The mountain range had already been leveled, the ice field cracked, dragons and snakes rose from the land, and rift valleys stretching for hundreds of miles extended outwards, like gaping mouths in the earth.
The weather changed as well; the sky, which was originally filled with fluffy white clouds and clear skies, was now filled with lightning and thunder, and dark clouds loomed overhead.
Han Xiao kept shifting the battlefield, moving away from the inhabited areas of the North Continent, and running towards the uninhabited glacial tundra. Wherever they went, the permafrost that had been frozen for millions of years cracked, the mountains shook, avalanches rolled, and the earth was left in ruins.
The aftershocks of the Calamity Grade are unleashing natural disasters on the planet. Centered on the battlefield, seismic waves are spreading across the entire North Continent Continental Shelf. In the coastal areas far from the battlefield, darkness has already fallen, the sea is surging, and tsunamis and hurricanes are battering coastal cities.
"A tsunami is coming! Run!"
"What... what's going on at www. hetushu. com?!"
The civilians in the coastal cities of the North Continent were terrified by the sudden natural Calamity Grade and fled in panic.
Han Xiao couldn't see these people's reactions, but he didn't need to think to know that the aftershocks of their Calamity Grade battle had already caused disasters on Planet Aquamarine.
"You deliberately chose this place as the battlefield, that's your plan, isn't it?" Han Xiao's expression was unfriendly. He dodged once again the invisible, tornado-like wave that Stefan unleashed, scattering the mechanical soldiers behind him.
The two sides have moved the battlefield several times, and the fighting has become extremely intense and fierce; the mushrooms have already been planted multiple times.
The blue starlight in the sky ignited once more, unleashing another round of attacks from the Psionic Energy space-based cannons, autonomously controlled by Phillip!
Rumble!!
The mechanical legion quickly avoided the bombing zone, and Stefan and the others also took cover. Only the enemy mechanic's war fortress, which moved slowly, failed to escape the attack range. Its shield shattered, and the battered fortress was blown into countless fragments.
This is the second enemy war fortress to be destroyed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Xiao led his mechanical legion in a fighting retreat. Now that they were on the edge of the far north, he began to move towards the sea.
"That troublesome space-based cannon." Stefan frowned, glanced up, and pointed at a martial artist. "Go up and smash Black Star's space-based weapon."
The martial artist nodded, and his aura burst forth from beneath his feet, rising into the sky like a rocket. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a star in the sky and headed straight for outer space.
"Don't waste time. Black Star excels at prolonged battles. Subdue him quickly."
Stefan, sounding impatient, led the other team members to chase after them again.
She knew Black Star was hard to kill, and her mission wasn't to eliminate Han Xiao, but to capture him. However, Han Xiao Han Xiao too slippery, running faster than a war correspondent, so she hadn't been able to get close to him. Close combat was the only way to maximize the power of her superpower.
After a brief chase, the two sides clashed again in the sky above the sea, the aftershocks creating towering waves, and bursts of energy blasted into the sea, forming huge whirlpools on the surface.
The sky darkened!
As the number of casualties in the mechanical legion continued to rise, Han Xiao gradually showed signs of weakness, revealing a weakness. Stefan's eyes lit up, and she seized the opportunity. She transformed into a black shadow and appeared suddenly behind Han Xiao as if in a flash, pressing a palm down on Han Xiao's back.
This was the first time she had used this ability since the start of the war, and she was preparing to catch Black Star off guard. If she hit him, Black Star's power would be weakened by at least 10% temporarily!
But the next moment, her palm fell empty. Han Xiao seemed to have anticipated this, and with an odd posture, he dodged her palm, flicked out a ball of Psionic Energy from his hands, and slapped her chest with his backhand.
Bang!
The pale blue Psionic Energy shock ring exploded, sending Stefan flying over a thousand meters. She rubbed her aching chest, her brows furrowed, secretly surprised by Han Xiao's reaction speed.
This attack was completely unexpected, leaving Black Star only microseconds of reaction time.
On the other side, Han Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Stefan was also a Grade SS character, and like him, she possessed many skills beyond superpowers. If one were unaware of this, it would be easy to be tricked. However, he knew Stefan's abilities too well, and there was no possibility of being tricked. Hundreds of dungeons hadn't been done in vain.
"His strength is even greater than rumored." Stefan narrowed her eyes, about to attack again, when she suddenly sensed several high-energy individuals rapidly approaching. Her expression changed, and she stopped in place, not daring to act rashly.
Han Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked up, only to see six shooting stars falling from the sky and hovering above them.
His arrogance faded, revealing Vilton and his group. Meeting the surprised and uncertain gazes of Stefan and her companions, Vilton snorted coldly and raised his hand, revealing that he was holding someone in his hand.
Stefan stared intently, and her expression suddenly changed.
The man Vilton held was the martial artist she had ordered to destroy the space-based cannon; he was lifeless and had clearly been beaten to death.
These six people are enemies, not friends... Stefan and the remaining seven Calamity Grade beings all looked grim.
Vilton his grip, and the body fell into the sea, creating a splash before being swept away by the whirlpool and disappearing without a trace.
"Black Star, we're late." Vilton nodded in acknowledgment.
Han Xiao's lips curled into a smile.
Reinforcements have arrived!
He looked at Stefan, shrugged, and chuckled.
"Surprised? Unexpected?"
Seeing Black Star's expected reaction, Stefan struggled to remain calm, a deep look of astonishment flashing in her eyes.
He had already found accomplices?
And there are six Calamity Grade?!
How could he possibly summon so many powerful individuals to handle the internal strife of a surface civilization!
unless...
Stefan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Did Black Star already know we were lying in ambush on him?
How is that possible?!
