Chapter 354 / Chapter 355

They had no choice but to retain their own souls, but within this body enveloped by the power of death, they were given, for the first time, the opportunity to regenerate their souls.

This could be considered the Goddess of Death, opening this small back door for Su Chen and Hela.

Soul and death are inherently incompatible, but under this tacit acceptance, this small bug has quietly appeared.

With the emergence of the soul, the power of death has been given a completely new interpretation.

The individual strength of all soldiers in the Second Legion has increased again, and their growth is not only reflected in increased strength.

As new souls continue to emerge, these soldiers also gain the ability to fight in outer space, including a certain degree of flight capability.

And once the entire Legion was assembled, this ability was greatly enhanced under the nourishment of death.

It is precisely for this reason that Hela was able to lead her Second Legion through the atmosphere into outer space and confront a Black Lantern Corps face to face.

"This scene is truly horrific; this must be the first time this Legion has encountered something like this."

When Hela arrived at the designated location, Hela looked at the somewhat dramatic scene before her and clicked her tongue in amazement.

As Hela led the Second Legion forward, the battle in outer space continued.

While the Sentinels can damage the Legion in front of them, members of the Black Lantern Corps can regenerate at any time using their own black death power.

With this shift in priorities, the consumption of Sentinels will naturally increase.

Chapter 354

When Hela arrived, she could see that the space surrounding the battlefield was filled with the wreckage of Sentinels.

Although Sentinels possess the ability to regenerate autonomously, this ability is limited, unlike the members of the Black Lantern Corps, who can regenerate without restraint even after being reduced to dust.

Strictly speaking, these soldiers are no longer individual beings; they have all been connected by Black Lantern and become part of Black Lantern.

They are merely the claws of the Black Lantern; once the claws are cut off, they can naturally regrow.

Once the damage Sentinels receives reaches a certain limit within a short period of time, the entire robot will naturally disintegrate or be torn apart by the enemy in front of it.

Of what was once a complete First Legion, only a very small portion is still fighting on the battlefield; the rest have been completely torn to pieces.

On the surface, the First Legion has already suffered enough losses to cripple them, even more devastating than when the androids attacked the Third Legion.

The number of surviving robots in the entire outer space battlefield is now less than four figures.

Fortunately, their production cycle has been greatly shortened. Given enough time, the factories on Earth can recast new Sentry robots.

This is much more convenient than the Third Legion.

The ones still fighting, or rather, still stubbornly holding on, are the hundreds of Sentinels led by the androids.

However, the situation has now reached a precarious point.

Empowered by the dark power of death, the Nekron, no matter how badly he's beaten, remains lively and energetic, and is now capable of fighting the androids.

Furthermore, because androids cannot replicate this kind of dark death experience, and as time goes by and other surrounding energies continue to disappear, he has begun to subtly gain the upper hand.

At this moment, the Nekron suddenly stopped and looked into the distance, where Hela was leading her army.

"What a pleasing army to behold..."

Somewhat surprisingly, the Nekron wasn't angry when Hela arrived; instead, he appeared unusually pleased.

The tone contained a hint of surprise, but not much negative emotion.

This is completely different from what I just saw of the First Legion.

Upon seeing the army behind Hela, the Nekron's eyes lit up even more.

"I never expected to see such a concentrated power of death in other places..."

Hela was also slightly surprised when she saw the Nekron and the Nekron Black Lantern Corps behind him.

Enemies are always filled with hatred when they meet, but that saying doesn't seem to apply here.

They all possess the power of death, even if their sources of death are different, death is ultimately interconnected.

Hela, who possesses the gifts of the Goddess of Death, and the Nekron, who developed the Black Lantern and devoted himself entirely to it.

When the two met, they even felt a subtle sense of intimacy.

However, what this sense of intimacy ultimately represents remains unknown.

"I never imagined there was such a remarkable army on Earth, and I hadn't even discovered it before. I was so careless."

Looking at Hela and the Second Legion behind her, the Nekron suddenly shook his head and said with a sigh.

During the Nekron's speech, the Black Lantern Corps behind him also abandoned their pursuit of the remaining First Legion Sentinels.

The remaining Sentinels and androids were still being remotely controlled from Emma Frost's command center. Seeing that the enemy Legion had stopped its pursuit, they regrouped.

However, compared to the previous intact Legion, the current First Legion is truly in a sorry state.

The First Legion can no longer even form a small square formation, and there are faint signs of damage on these robots.

It's almost comparable to the Eradicator who is currently fighting Su Chen.

As for the android, although its condition is slightly better than other robots, and its body remains intact, the energy badge on its chest that can mimic other energies has long since been depleted.

···Requesting flowers···· ·

As time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer other robots, and the energy that androids can imitate will also decrease, since the energy for imitation is time-limited.

At that point, the pressure on the androids will increase, and they will eventually be overwhelmed by the entire Black Lantern Corps.

Upon seeing Emma Frost filming the arrival of her Second Legion, the operations command center ordered the Sentinels to cease their attack. Simultaneously, these battle-damaged robots turned back and began their return journey to Earth.

They will return to Earth, and after a short period of repairs, they will travel in a new direction on Earth. If anything unusual happens on Hela's side, they can at least hold out until Su Chen returns.

Seeing the robots leave, Pai didn't make any move. He simply continued to look at Hela and Hela Second Legion behind her with the same slightly surprised gaze he had before.

However, as time went on, this sense of surprise gradually changed, evolving more towards a sense of greed.

"You should be glad you didn't meet me back then. I wasn't as easy to talk to as I am now."

Hela simply smiled coldly at this.

Before meeting Su Chen, Hela's personality was well-known; after meeting Su Chen, Hela personality became somewhat more restrained.

After all, Hela had witnessed too many things in the Utopia Alliance that defied common sense, whether it was the First Legion, which was already in preparation for war, or the Third Legion, which had just been formed.

Even his own evolved Second Legion, any Legion of which could easily defeat his former self and his former Legion.

Unfortunately, I was arrogant and overbearing back then. If I had met this ugly guy in front of me back then, we probably would have started fighting at the drop of a hat.

"I don't think we need to fight, or rather, it would be a real shame for us to fight."

The Nekron scratched his head, then suddenly spoke with some regret. "Mountain."

Chapter 355

"Although I don't know what your intentions are, I think you would absolutely welcome death engulfing the entire universe. You have no need to protect Earth; Earth should belong to us!"

The Nekron looked at Hela in front of him and spoke calmly and confidently.

Death should not submit to any power; it is the supreme being!

At this point, the Nekron raised his hands high, looking completely fanatical.

But seeing their fanatical demeanor and hearing their tempting words, Hela merely frowned and remained unmoved.

Perhaps in the past, she would have considered this suggestion.

Although there will certainly be a lot of approvals to be made after that, such as who should be the main force of this Legion and all sorts of other things, at least they share the same goal: to cover the entire universe.

But that was Hela in the past, and now she has many more ideas.

"Death may be a very powerful force, but it is not the strongest force..."

Hela suddenly shook her head, then spoke with a slightly bitter smile.

"Putting everything else aside, at least I can be certain of one thing now: there is at least one power that transcends death."

Faced with Hela's sudden words, the Nekron was completely taken aback.

This seems a little different from what I expected...

"I possess death, but I have never thought of controlling it, because the one who can control death is the supreme goddess..."

At this point, Hela's smile vanished.

In a sense, Hela is also a part of that goddess.

And in the future, it may not just be the goddess who can control death; there may be another person who can do so.

"I share similar thoughts with you, but that only applies to the idea that perhaps we don't need to fight. After all, we both possess the power of death, and perhaps we could have more opportunities to communicate. But I was wrong about that."

Hela then shook her head as well.

"In you, I see the foolish shadow of my past self. I know better than anyone how foolish and hopeless I was back then."

As she spoke, two black longswords slowly extended from Hela's hands.

"And the cure for this incurable condition..."

Hela drew the weapon in his hand.

"This is all we have!!"

By this point, Hela's gaze had become absolutely resolute!

As the Nekron listened to Hela's words, the look of surprise on his face had long since vanished, replaced by utter gloom. Now, the Nekron's face was as black as the ring.

I originally thought I would encounter an ally with similar attributes, but it seems that the other party doesn't take me seriously and even mocked me.

"It's alright, none of this matters. Once you become a part of us, you'll change your mind!"

Seeing Hela extend her longsword, the Nekron raised his hands behind his back, his eyes also turning incredibly sinister.

"At that time, I can be exceptionally merciful and preserve your consciousness, making you the second being in this Legion to possess your own consciousness!"

The Nekron's gaze was now firmly fixed on Hela!

"Let's see who can convince whom."

Hela brandished her longsword, and behind her, the silent and orderly Second Legion, already surging forward with an indestructible darkness!

While the Black Lantern Corps opposite them was not well-organized and its members were of all shapes and sizes, they were equally frenzied as they charged towards the well-organized Second Legion in front of them!

As for Hela, she naturally took over the position of the android and charged into battle against the Nekron!

The black lights corresponded to each other, appearing remarkably similar, yet their lines were distinctly separate.

Just like transparent water and transparent oil, they are both transparent liquids, but they can never mix together!

Either the water displaced the oil, or the oil evaporated the water!

"Halal has followed that little guy for so long, and it has finally grown a bit. It wasn't in vain that I provided this small bit of help to its Legion..."

Just as the two Legion launched their attacks, in that familiar Knowhere, a tall, slender figure sat in the darkness and spoke with satisfaction.

Behind her was an unseen thick fog, and within the fog, one could faintly hear some kind of mournful wail.

What Hela can see, the Goddess of Death can also see.

Hela is part of the Lady Deathstrike, and everything Hela possesses is naturally also possessed by the Goddess of Death.

As the Second Legion grew, the entire process of its growth, and everything the Second Legion experienced, was faithfully delivered to the Goddess of Death through Hela's perspective, without any omissions.

Similarly, the conversation before the battle and the start of the battle were also presented to the Goddess of Death in their entirety.

It's quite obvious that the Goddess of Death seems to be completely satisfied with what Hela said and did during the previous battle.

"You've finally made some progress."

Although Hela couldn't hear these words, the Goddess of Death nodded with great satisfaction and then spoke to herself.

"Pure death power and filthy death power can never coexist; a war between the two is inevitable."

When the Goddess of Death said this, her tone seemed to carry a hint of arrogance, somewhat similar to Hela's earlier words.
