Chapter 323: My Gun Is Back?

The interstellar travelers below looked up at a loss. Recently, due to the treacherous situation within the Amethyst Civilization, it led to turmoil everywhere.

But due to the strict defense of the Tabli Planet, this kind of large-scale attack was still extremely rare.

Oaks led the crowd straight to the spaceport. The express channel heading to the spaceport had already been deactivated; they could only fly over via the thrusters of their armor.

This would take quite a bit of time. To tell the truth, this plan was truly riddled with holes.

But he had no choice either. This attack was originally a hasty decision. Developing to the current situation, he was more or less mentally prepared.

"Lord Oaks, do you still have a backup plan? Who are those people!?" A puzzled inquiry came from the communication channel.

Oaks turned his head to look, only to see ten guys wearing silver-white armor blocking that A-Tier Lifeform.

He furrowed his brows tightly. Where did these reinforcements come from? He didn't remember having any reinforcements.

"Don't mind them, escape from here as quickly as possible." Oaks didn't think too much; escaping from here as quickly as possible was the only choice right now.

Although that A-Tier Lifeform was blocked, there was a continuous stream of flying vehicles coming towards them from all directions.

And shooting out energy beam cannons, attempting to block them.

Oaks took the lead, his hands continuously throwing out giant cyan wind blades.

Easily slicing open those energy beams, even directly destroying the small flying vehicles behind them, the sound of explosions ringing out above the entire city.

The metal wreckage falling from time to time made the interstellar travelers flee in panic.

Theodore withdrew his gaze and looked sinisterly at the ten people in front of him. He had signed a gambling treaty with the Commercial Alliance.

Within a year, the more losses the Tabli Star System suffered, the fewer Star Coins he could get.

And right now, these people were undoubtedly gouging meat from his heart.

His gaze swept over the ten people in front of him. There were no faction emblems on the armor, and no obvious identifying features.

"Truly all sorts of monsters and demons are jumping out." Theodore gave two sinister laughs. His heavy armor was up to five meters tall, its overall color scheme blue and white, equipped with various combat weapons.

The energy engine on its chest emitted a pale white light.

What the thick armor brought was formidable defense, as well as astonishing attack power.

"Where do you guys come from again? Daring to block in front of me without an A-Tier Lifeform, are you seeking death!"

The eyes under Theodore's helmet glared fiercely. As soon as his voice fell, his entire person charged out.

The thrusters on his back abruptly erupted, flames spewing out, providing him with unparalleled speed.

Theodore charged towards the silver-white armor that had initially blocked in front of him. He wanted to use the most brutal methods to tear apart everyone blocking his path!

The mechanical arm guard on his right hand expanded, sharp metal spikes extending from the mechanical joints of the fingers. The elbow joint cracked open, and the auxiliary thruster spewed out blazing flames of light.

The energy engine on his chest similarly began to operate at extreme speed, transporting surging energy to various parts of the armor.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the ferocious giant mechanical fist smashed onto Stanley's body. The sharp metal spikes tore through the nano-armor, sending him flying backward from afar.

But Theodore didn't have the slightest look of joy, because this strike actually hadn't killed the opponent yet.

He raised his giant mechanical fist, his expression flickering uncertainly. Just now, he seemed to be restrained by some invisible force, which weakened a large portion of the impact.

"Unknown energy field detected!"

The combat intelligence issued a warning sound. Theodore tried to move his body, but found himself seemingly trapped in some kind of quagmire.

Moving the armor required spending 500% more energy supply in order for him to move freely.

He turned his head to look at the other nine people who had raised their hands, roughly understanding what exactly was going on.

"Is this what you rely on? Multiple combined superpowers... truly a grand scheme. Are the factions behind you really not afraid of you guys dying here?"

Since he knew what was going on, Theodore appeared much more relaxed.

Combined superpowers refer to a large number of people awakening the same superpower combining together, which could massively enhance the superpower.

However, the universe is vast, and wanting to find people who awakened the same superpower is still extremely difficult, unless it's through researching directed awakening.

Theodore believed that this group of people were all espers meticulously researched by a large faction, which was why they could unite to stop him.

But in reality, this wasn't the case.

The nano-armor on Stanley's body was self-repairing, and the injuries on his body were also rapidly recovering.

The nano-armor flowed, gradually forming a nano-longsword in his hand. Thrusters similarly surfaced on his back, and Stanley actually charged back towards the opponent.

The education he received in the military academy told him that it was best not to randomly engage in verbal sparring during battle, otherwise it was very likely to leak some crucial information.

"Seeking death!" Theodore didn't expect the opponent to actually still charge towards him. The combat panel swiftly locked onto the opponent, while simultaneously allocating more energy output. The energy engine on his chest let out a roaring sound.

The giant mechanical hand squeezed in the void, electric arcs dancing between its fingers. An electromagnetic energy field gradually diffused, firmly locking Stanley's body so he couldn't move.

At the same time, the armor structure of his right hand swiftly transformed, forming a massive mechanical warhammer.

The corners of Theodore's mouth parted, seemingly already seeing the scene of the opponent becoming a meat patty under his warhammer.

The propulsion engine behind the mechanical warhammer operated intensely, providing powerful force, and smashed towards the already close-at-hand Stanley.

However, the next moment, something that shocked him happened. Stanley's figure actually abruptly disappeared from before his eyes; only silver-white nano-liquid was left flowing on the spot.

The mechanical warhammer passed through the silver-white liquid as if smashing into cotton, not causing any effective lethality.

A streak of shadow swiped across the void. Stanley's body abruptly appeared behind Theodore, and the nano-flow drifting in the air swiftly attached to his body.

Screech!

The mechanical longsword swiped across the surface of Theodore's armor, shooting out dazzling sparks, not causing any effective lethality.

The mechanical warhammer swept over, and Stanley swiftly retreated, dodging this strike.

Theodore looked at the opponent in shock and uncertainty. What kind of ability is this? Space Warp?

Where did this group of people come from?

Thinking like this in his heart, a sense of humiliation uncontrollably rose.

No matter what is said, the other party is merely a group of B-Tier Lifeforms. He had already attacked several times, yet failed to take the other party down; to him, this was already a kind of humiliation.

"You've made me start to get serious!?" Theodore said in a deep voice, but the other party still didn't have any response. This kind of "aloofness" made him even angrier.

Watching the high-altitude battle from the ground, the ability Stanley displayed just now wasn't Space Warp, but an awakened superpower—Shadowification.

It could turn oneself into a shadow, temporarily evading physical attacks.

Compared to Space Warp, this superpower still had significant shortcomings.

For example, the armor on the body couldn't undergo shadowification together and could only be left on the spot, but it was already considered very not bad.

"Relying on the traits of the Force, they can probably keep tangling, but I'm afraid it will be relatively difficult." Li Yu pondered secretly.

The other nine people jointly stacked the Force to restrict Theodore, making him seem like he was afflicted with a malignant buff, drastically reducing both his strength and speed.

But the problem was that Stanley's attacks couldn't break through the defense at all. It was as if he was walking a tightrope; one moment of carelessness could lead to severe injury.

Theodore was not simple. His strength was very high; although he didn't have a second evolution, he should have already reached the peak of the first evolution.

Theodore's heavy armor emitted venting sounds, and its mechanical structure continuously assembled.

Its appearance underwent some changes again. The entire armored body elongated once more, and the metal plates shifted and covered it. Mingled with the flow of the nano-flow, it no longer appeared so thick and heavy, but instead had a kind of vigorous feeling.

His armor was built from a combination of metal materials and nano materials.

Although nano materials were convenient and quick, they had significant limitations in terms of hardness.

In this combat state, Theodore's speed increased again. He no longer zeroed in on Stanley, but placed his target on the other people.

Boom!

The ferocious mechanical hand lifted someone's head, Theodore's eyes indifferent.

An A-Tier Lifeform is still an A-Tier Lifeform, not something a few people who casually jump out can provoke.

However, as his palm continuously exerted force, the head of the person in front of him still wasn't crushed, but instead became harder and harder.

"This?" Theodore fell into a state of astonishment again. He saw nano-flows continuously surging from all directions, integrating into the armor of the person in front of him to enhance its defense.

"Fusing nano-armor?" Theodore felt depressed in his heart. This group of people truly had endless methods.

However, since the nano-armor had all converged on this person, Theodore abruptly turned his head, locking onto Stanley again.

Bang!

The air let out an explosive sound. Stanley's pupils shrank and he swiftly shadowified, the strike missing its mark.

On the combat panel, Stanley had already appeared behind him, simultaneously swinging something with his left hand to smash towards him.

Yet his hand was clearly empty. Right at this moment, the sound of piercing the air transmitted over.

A large amount of silver nano-liquid flew over from afar at extreme speed, perfectly converging on Stanley's body, and formed a metal flail!

Bang!

The hammer smashed onto his head, electric arcs surging. The violent impact blurred the combat panel completely, and the sound of electric currents rang in Theodore's ears.

"Warning... Warning..."

He was sent flying a long distance before barely stopping his figure, his eyes filled with astonishment. The metal armor on the back of his head was already caved in.

I... was sent flying by a smash?

He felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped; an unspeakable sense of shame filled his heart.

He stared deadly at the guy holding the metal flail in front of him. The silver-white nano-flow transferred from the others and converged onto him.

Theodore's pupils were gradually covered by bloodshot lines, gradually forgetting everything else, with only the opponent in his eyes.

One of the nine people tightly pressed his temples, blue veins bulging, seemingly executing some superpower.

Emotion Control, able to provoke the emotions of lifeforms; this was his superpower.

Roaring sounds continuously exploded above the city, but no figures could be seen, making people extremely terrified.

Theodore was completely blocked, and under the assistance of the others' various superpowers, faintly showed a trend of falling into a disadvantage.

Li Yu turned to look at Oaks. They were already less than half the distance away from the spaceport, and this was even under the continuous interception of flying vehicles.

A light of hope kindled in his eyes. He didn't expect that this temporarily decided plan actually had the possibility of succeeding.

He didn't know who those people intercepting Theodore were; perhaps this was "he who is in the right is helped by many", and the Reformers were an army of justice.

Having someone help in a moment of crisis seemed enough to make one believe.

However, subsequently... Oaks's expression changed, and he abruptly stopped his figure. Unknown when,

A figure abruptly surfaced in front of him, exuding a powerful aura, as if specially waiting for him here.

"You robbed something here and still want to escape completely unscathed, aren't you thinking a bit too much?" A slightly frivolous tone transmitted over, and Oaks's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

There is more than one A-Tier Lifeform here. Li Yu was somewhat surprised, not expecting that apart from Theodore, there were other A-Tier Lifeforms on this planet.

Such defense forces were truly somewhat too luxurious.

"That idiot Theodore was actually blocked by a few B-Tier Lifeforms. In order not to lose too much face, I had to make a move."

The other party's tone was languid, and their appearance looked overly young; they seemed to not have placed Oaks in their eyes.

"I also don't want to waste time. Hand over the item, and you guys can leave as you please."

Oaks's expression was grave, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency wanting me to hand over the item with just one sentence, don't you feel it's somewhat excessive?"

"Excessive?" The other party chuckled twice. The next moment... one of the people beside Oaks actually exploded directly without any warning, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Esper!

Oaks's expression slightly changed. The danger level of an esper mainly depends on their superpower. Espers with unknown abilities are extremely troublesome.

"Then we can only fight..." The other party's tone sounded slightly helpless, but their movements didn't pause at all. The moment their right hand raised,

A bad premonition rose in Oaks's heart. A hurricane howled out, forming a giant tornado reaching to the sky and tearing towards the other party.

However, it was completely useless. The giant cyan tornado seemed to be torn apart by something, swiftly dissipating into the void.

Fighting an unknown esper, figuring out what the other party's superpower is would take quite a bit of time, and right now what Oaks lacked the most was time.

Is it ultimately still impossible to escape?

Oaks felt bitter in his heart, uncontrollably feeling a sense of despair.

The others had also prepared for battle and weren't timid. Saad, wearing the leather jacket, subconsciously reached for his holster again.

However, when he made the movement, he suddenly remembered that his beloved gun had already been lost in the battle.

"I'm afraid my ending now will also be similar to it." He couldn't help but mock himself. However, the next moment, his eyes abruptly widened, his palm stiffening on the holster.

Then, he abruptly lowered his head to look. Only to see that in the previously clearly empty holster, at some unknown time, a black handgun had appeared again, and it was exactly the same as his previous gun.

How is this possible!?

He clearly remembered that his gun was already destroyed at the attack scene.

But the current situation didn't allow him to think much. Without any hesitation, he directly drew the gun.

However, drawing the gun this time was completely different from any time before.
