Chapter 150: Unable to Withstand a Single Blow

~6 min read 1,105 words

In the vacuum of the universe, Qin Hao hovered less than a million kilometers from that giant biological brain.

Without any protective suit or life-support equipment, he was thus nakedly exposed to the absolute-zero vacuum environment.

The superhuman gene raged within his body, providing him with all conditions for survival in the universe.

His skin emitted a faint golden light, resisting the erosion of cosmic radiation.

"You little worm, dare to face me directly?"

The countless eyeballs on the surface of the biological brain all turned toward Qin Hao, the golden patterns throbbing violently like blood vessels.

A spiritual shockwave, a thousand times stronger than before, erupted instantly, blasting straight into the depths of Qin Hao's consciousness.

This was no longer mere spiritual pollution, but a true war on the spiritual plane.

In Qin Hao's mind, countless horrifying images surged in——

Brilliant civilizations knelt before this biological entity, begging for mercy, only to be completely assimilated into puppets without self-awareness.

In the final moments of ten million intelligent races, their despair, fear, and anguish surged like a tide.

"Do you see? This is the fate of those who resist me."

Cold thoughts echoed in Qin Hao's mind: "Your civilizations are but insignificant dust in the universe; submit to me, and you may retain a trace of your existence's value.

Otherwise, like those foolish races, you will vanish completely in the river of history."

Yet Qin Hao's gaze showed no wavering.

"You are wrong," he calmly replied in his heart, "You will never understand what civilization is."

The next second, a completely different spiritual torrent burst forth from Qin Hao's consciousness.

It was neither weapon, nor knowledge, nor power, but the purest human emotion——

A mother shielding her child from artillery fire without hesitation.

A lovers' final embrace amidst the flames of war, unwilling to part even as death approached.

A soldier who knew he would die still charged toward the enemy's back.

A simple lullaby, giving warmth and hope to a child in the darkness.

An ordinary painting that could rekindle the desire to live in despair.

These things, which the biological entity deemed "meaningless," were like the sharpest blades, directly cutting into its consciousness core.

"What… what is this?"

The golden patterns on the surface of the biological brain began to flicker erratically,

"Why… why would a father sacrifice his life for insignificant offspring? That defies survival logic!"

"Why do these inefficient sound combinations produce emotional fluctuations? These data have no practical value!"

"Why, knowing they will die, do these beings still engage in meaningless resistance?"

Its knowledge base contained many civilizations' tech trees and relatively profound cosmic theories, but lacked these "useless" things.

These human emotions, which it could not comprehend, quantify, or replicate, were stirring great chaos in its consciousness.

Qin Hao seized the opportunity, his form vanishing instantly from the spot.

Faster-than-light!

His speed broke the bonds of light speed, dragging a brilliant golden trail across the universe.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared directly before that biological brain.

"Impossible! How can you——"

Before the biological brain could react, Qin Hao's fist had already slammed toward it.

This punch gathered half the power of the superhuman gene.

Possessing terrifying energy capable of easily shattering a minor asteroid, it erupted fully at this moment.

"Boom——"

A silent explosion blossomed in the universe.

The seemingly indestructible black crystal shell, before Qin Hao's fist, was as fragile as paper, instantly shattering into pieces.

The enormous biological brain lay exposed in the vacuum, countless nerve fibers twisting in agony.

"Impossible! My shell is forged from the hardest substance—how could it——"

But its terror had not ended.

Qin Hao's second punch followed closely, striking directly upon the pulsating brain core.

"Crack——"

A crisp cracking sound rang out on the spiritual plane.

That colossal beast, that terrifying entity that had devoured countless civilizations, thus shattered completely under Qin Hao's fists.

Golden "blood" sprayed across the universe, those dense eyeball organs losing their luster one by one.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Qin Hao hovered amid the wreckage, gazing at the scene before him, even he felt a bit dazed.

"Just… just that?"

He had prepared for a fierce battle, even considered using other abilities of the system.

The result was that this terrifying-looking extraterrestrial creature, so fearsome in appearance, proved astonishingly fragile before physical attack.

"Mental strength is indeed strong, but physical defense…… is pathetically weak."

Inside the New Sun-Chaser Command Ship, everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they saw on the screen.

Just moments ago, the terrifying entity that had plunged all of human civilization into spiritual pollution was blown apart by Qin Hao's two punches?

"Did I… see that correctly?"

Zhang Xianzhong stammered, "That thing… really died?"

The technical officer trembled as he checked various data: "Energy response disappeared, vital signs are zero, it really died!"

A thunderous cheer erupted throughout the command ship.

Meanwhile, at Blue Star Command, Luo Lao and the other generals were also stunned.

"Just how strong is this Xiao Qin...?" Zhang Yunfeng muttered to himself.

Cheng Haitang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "Good thing he's on our side. If he stood on the opposing side..."

He didn't finish, but everyone understood what he meant.

An individual possessing this power can no longer be measured by conventional concepts.

"Target threat neutralized. This thing looks frightening, but it's actually just a soft-bodied shrimp strengthened by mental power."

Qin Hao's voice was transmitted to headquarters via quantum communication.

Luo Lao laughed and cried at once:

"Xiao Qin, can you not say it so lightly? Just now we almost thought human civilization would be enslaved."

"It's indeed much weaker than I expected."

Qin Hao's voice was calm: "But this also gives us a warning—threat forms in the universe may be more diverse than we imagined."

"Some specialize in mental attacks, some possibly in physical attacks; we cannot let our guard down."

Just then, the scattered black crystal debris began to emit a faint glow.

"Huh?" Qin Hao immediately became alert.

But this time it was not an attack, but a final transmission of information.

A fragmented thought echoed in everyone's minds:

"Foolish civilization…… you thought…… killing me would end it? I am merely a vanguard…… the true fleet…… is already on its way!"

The voice cut off abruptly, and all the debris completely lost its luster.

Everyone fell into silence once again.

"A vanguard?"

Zhang Xianzhong's face grew solemn: "In other words, there are more of these things coming?"

Qin Hao gazed at the floating debris, his eyes deepening: "It seems we will face more enemies."
