The alien screamed in agony. Despite its size, the Divine Yin Thunder's destructive power tore through the creature's skin.
This was the power of humanity's Discipline over the aliens.
Aliens evolved by devouring lifeforce to strengthen themselves. The Disciplines of human Adepts were also a manifestation of the lifeforce they were absorbing.
The alien absorbed the energy of life, but it could also be harmed by the energy it absorbed.
The alien's body shook, and a purple light burst forth from its body.
Thunderclap's reflexes were quick, and in a flash it was already several thousand meters away.
In terms of speed, Thunderclap was faster than Lan Jue's Thor.
Pointing the spear forward, silver light blossomed from the Thundergod Puppet's body. The spear light at the tip of the spear began to change. The original silver light gradually became transparent, becoming a crystalline purple. Faint traces of lightning could be seen within it.
He was going to test it out.
Lan Jue's eyes narrowed, and she watched closely.
He wanted to know how much damage his and the Driver's lightning could inflict on these aliens.
The alien's body began to swell, and a powerful gust of air erupted from its back, propelling it towards Thunderclap. Its jaws opened wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.
This time, Thunderclap made no attempt to dodge. Lightning crackled from behind it, and its body shot forward like a bolt of lightning. Silver flames burned behind it as it pushed its speed to the limit. The purple light at the tip of the spear flared, and as it sped through the air it became a film of light. It was like the tip of an arrow that protected its body.
From a distance, it looked as if Thunderclap was gone, disappearing into the alien's body.
A moment later, however, a beam of purple light shot out from behind the alien. The beam faded away, and then disappeared.
The force of inertia propelled the alien even further away, until it was almost impossible to see it anymore.
At that moment, a deafening explosion rang out. In the distance, a dazzling purple ball of light grew larger and larger, and a large number of meteorites in the surroundings were turned to ash by the terrifying explosion.
Thunderclap's spear was pointed downward, and it floated proudly in space.
"Why are you just standing there?
Vital crystals. "As the Driver reflected on his performance, Lan Jue's voice came through the communicator.
"Uh … I forgot."
The Driver coughed and sped towards the explosion. "You're too busy trying to look cool." The Driver coughed and sped towards the explosion.
Standing in Zeus -1's control room, Lan Jue nodded to herself. The yin-yang lightning was strong, and it seemed to have an even greater effect on the aliens.
An alien that could travel long distances in space had to be incredibly tough. But the Driver had used his Discipline of Godthunder to pierce through its body and cause such a massive explosion.
It was even stronger than the one he'd used to kill the alien.
The threat of the aliens had been there for a long time, but the war between humans and the aliens had only just begun. Very few humans had actually encountered the aliens.
The vast majority of them, such as the Northern Alliance's Seventh Fleet, had been wiped out.
As a result, they didn't have much information to offer.
But as the battle progressed, Lan Jue realized that the aliens were more afraid of Adepts' Disciplines than their weapons.
The Driver, with his god-class mecha and his god-class piloting skills, was a force to be reckoned with.
Such a super soldier might be able to win against a battleship, but it wouldn't be that easy.
The alien they'd just fought had a good chance against a battleship, but the Driver had killed it in a second.
This information was important, and the Accountant had already begun recording the results of the battle.
Based on the current situation, the role of the super soldiers in the future battle against the aliens would undoubtedly be even greater.
Skyfire Avenue's decision to train Star Division was the right decision.
"Boss, there's a lot of psionic energy coming our way.
We've been discovered. "Lin Guo-guo's voice answered.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. She called to the Driver's communicator. "Get back here, more aliens are coming."
Their mission was to scout the area, and if they were exposed they'd lose more than they'd gain.
The Driver was fast, and Thunderclap held a purple crystal in his hand. He flew back to Zeus-1 in no time at all.
Just then, in the distance, dots of purple and red light began to shine. They grew larger and larger, and all of them were headed straight for Zeus-1.
Lan Jue sucked in a breath. Her radar showed that there were at least three hundred aliens. Some were large and some were small, and some were over a thousand meters long.
"We're surrounded. They're coming from all sides."
The Accountant's grim voice answered. "According to our analysis, our chances of escaping without fighting are less than three percent.
Some of them are faster than us. "
Lin Guo-guo's voice followed. "There's a lot of psionic energy coming our way. They've probably locked onto us. Boss, what do we do?"
Lan Jue's eyes narrowed. "Full speed ahead. We need to break through to where they have the least number.
Prepare for battle.
Shields up. "
"No need. Let me handle this." A familiar voice interrupted their conversation.
Lan Jue turned his head to see the Wine Master standing behind him. The Cosmagus was at his side, his scepter in hand.
Shortly after, a layer of silver light silently bloomed from the Space Scepter.
Zeus -1 had been hidden in space by the Blinding Stone, but now it was covered in a layer of silvery light.
The silver light suddenly flashed, and in the next instant, it disappeared into thin air.
The waves of psionic energy that had locked onto Zeus -1 had missed.
A few moments later a host of purple and red flashed by, taking up space around them. Their enormous bodies flashed as if they were searching for something, but nothing came of it.
Far off in the distance, behind an enormous asteroid, there was a flash of silver light. Zeus-1 reappeared, its main engines blazing as it shot off into the distance.
The Wine Master, Lan Jue, gave them a thumbs-up. Her eyes were full of praise.
This was one of the great benefits of having a Paragon with them. In the face of danger, they could simply teleport away and escape from the encirclement of enemies.
Without the Wine Master they would have had to pay a heavy price to force their way out of the encirclement.
But now, with just a space transfer, all the problems were solved.
They weren't afraid of the few hundred aliens. After all, they had five Paragons on board. Their combined strength would be more than enough to take them out.
However, killing so many aliens would draw the attention of the home worlds. That would affect their scouting mission.
Avoiding them was the best option.
Lan Jue, the Accountant, spoke up. "How did the first alien find us?"
The Driver returned from his mecha suit. In his hands was a large vital crystal.
It was more than a foot in diameter and glowed with a violet light. A rich aura of vital energy pulsed from it.
One could imagine how valuable vital crystals were to humanity. The black market had long since sold them for sky-high prices.
A single crystal was enough to trade for a battleship with plenty to spare.
The Driver chortled. "Spoils of war.
Not bad, not bad. I'll put it away and hand it over when we get back. "
Lan Jue chuckled. "Don't laugh. If we'd been any later there would have been a horde of aliens.
It looks like they really are in control of the Shattered Starfields.
We're not on the outskirts of the Shattered Starfields, but we're not in the center either.
They've covered a lot of space. "
The Wine Master nodded. "That's not a good sign.
If the Blinding Stone doesn't work, then it's going to be difficult to get a closer look at the alien planets. "
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. This was a problem. They couldn't just charge in.
Although there were five Paragons, the Violet Princess had been stronger than the Photographer. Who knew how many more of her kind the aliens had in store?!
Once their numbers reached a certain level, the threat they posed would be too great.
The Accountant's voice interrupted them. "I've done some analysis, and I think the aliens won't be able to find us so easily."
"Hm?" Everyone hurried to his side.
The Accountant went on. "According to my analysis, we were discovered by the first alien because we were too close.
Psionic waves are a form of energy, and they're much more draining than any other form of energy.
Using psionic waves to probe from a distance drains energy quickly.
Aliens are different from us, but the laws of conservation of energy are the same.
So even if they have the ability to send out psionic waves at any time, it won't cover a large area.
Only when they purposely search and forcefully raise their psychic waves can they carry out a longer distance detection. "— —
Third watch, increase the number of words.
