Chapter 2192: with translation of chapter title

Captain... run...!! 」

「Fast... run...!!!!! 」

The War Star Goblin that realized this turned its head in shock, its voice sounding like a slowed-down tape, distorted and deformed.

He wanted to warn Batuolu, to warn everyone!

However, it was already too late.

Without waiting for Batuolu to painstakingly make his way to the monitor screen to try to find Lin An's trace,

The next second, a sound like shattering, as if echoing in the mind, rang out one after another.

Before them lay a mechanical legion stacked up to nearly a hundred kilometers, which suddenly shattered like glass along a straight line, turning into sky‑filled shards of metallic ash!

Radiation, fire, fragments, voids, skyward, delay.

0.1 seconds later.

A calm voice, like that of a death god, sounded behind everyone.

「Are you looking for me? 」

At this moment, the twelve Fifth Stage Goblins present, including Batuolu, stiffened their heads as if frozen in fright.

Behind them stood a human clad in black battle armor.

「Bang! 」

Looking at the stunned Radiation Goblin, Lin An tilted his head and smiled, then threw a casual punch that instantly blasted the Goblin before him to pieces.

In an instant.

The thick, bloody smell permeated the air, as if they were in hell.

「Ahhhhhhh!!! 」

「Ghost!! Ghost ahhh!!! 」

How many decibels could a group of Goblins' screams reach?

If it had been before, Lin An wouldn't have known, nor cared to know. But at this moment, he only felt that these Goblins were simply too noisy.

As possibly the worst‑experienced squad in the entire Starlight War, when faced with Lin An appearing like a death god, this group of Goblins not only failed to show the reaction expected of Fifth Stage beings, but several were frightened into screaming outright.

Of course, perhaps in the face of extreme terror, some fusions can unleash potential beyond their limits.

In the Goblin squad, the deputy Baman, who was participating in the Starlight War for the first time, was actually faster than the strongest captain; he lunged like a rabid dog, unleashing all his potential and instantly leapt into the mech they relied on for battle.

Overload!

Overload!

Fusion enhancement! Fusion!

The light of rules pushed to the limit!

Inside the mech over ten meters tall, like Yun Tian, the long‑eared Goblin who mastered a higher‑level fusion ability shouted sharply, forced to overload to 300%, and his right hand, fused with the mech, instantly turned into a High‑Frequency Weapon, swinging with all his might at Lin An's head.

「Captain!! Run!! 」

「Whoom--Boom!! 」

With the radiation engine pushed to its limit, determined to drag Lin An down with his life, Baman at this moment charged forward like the bravest warrior.

Perhaps the companion's courage also roused the other Goblins; the stunned Batuolu went mad, jumping back into his own mech. But compared to the brave long‑eared Goblin, he had not an ounce of fighting spirit. Although he perceived this suddenly appearing human as only Fourth Stage, that very fact made him even more fearful.

This monster not only possesses unimaginable speed, but also a horrifyingly strong physique!

Moreover, Lin An, who suddenly appeared behind them, also seemed to master a special technique akin to spatial rules; it's unimaginable how such a freak could appear on the battlefield. Right now, he only wants to flee, only to call for help from all units.

「Run!! Fast run!!! 」

Amid the screams, Batuolu, who had leapt into the mech, turned and ran, hoping only that Baman could block the monster for a second.

But it's obvious that courage is merely an adjective of praise, not a miracle.

Looking at the fearless Baman charging at him, Lin An gave a curious glance at the opponent's fused mech; the next second, his gaze seemed to pierce the heavy mech, and with a flash of blue light in his eyes, a huge surge of mental power like a torrent suddenly crushed the Goblin inside the mech.

「Boom!!! 」

The dull sound of skulls shattering inside the cockpit burst forth like overripe tomatoes exploding uniformly.

With a "Boom—", Lin An gave a light chuckle at the massive mech that had lost control and collapsed, not caring about anything.

Too weak.

Really too weak.

The strength of this War Star Level Goblin group likely comes mostly from these technological creations; with poor physique and rule comprehension, he didn't even feel like drawing his sword.

As Leimeng said, these Goblins were just here to do business. After killing three War Star Level Goblins, the points he earned, aside from the fixed kill reward, were only the miserable layer points on these Goblins.

It's absurd that, by this stage of the Starlight War, the dead participants have already exceeded five hundred thousand, yet these Goblins have not a single kill point on them.

No time was wasted, and there wasn't much sympathy to speak of.

Lin An raised his head, looking at the Goblin Captain madly spewing flames, trying to escape right under his nose.

In utter stillness, in the blink of an eye Lin An appeared before him and kicked, shattering the mech's legs.

「Bang!! 」

The heavy body hit the ground; before Batuolu's soul could even flee, the next second Lin An blasted open the cockpit's alloy plate with one hand and dragged him out like trash.

「How many points do you have? Hand them all over. 」

Not wanting to waste words, Lin An frowned at the ugly Goblin that looked like a phosphorescent toad and bluntly asked.

If these Goblins didn't have the points he needed, he wouldn't even be interested in capturing them to turn into materials. Their physique and rule comprehension are too poor; using them to strengthen Equipment would likely result in a drop in rank.

「Points.. points!! 」

Batuolu shuddered at the sound, only then realizing why this terrifying monster had sought them out; seeing Lin An's cold, merciless eyes, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Four hundred points..! No, two hundred points! Sir! I have one hundred fifty points on me! Give them all to you! Give them all to you!"

His words were incoherent, but perhaps greed was ingrained in his bones; as he begged for mercy, Batuolu instinctively lied, his greenish eyes involuntarily glancing at the communicator at Lin An's feet.

He knew that the teams in the surrounding areas must have noticed the commotion here! That damned monster wants to steal his points! His only hope is to call for help!

He also believed that once those teams learned of such a terrifying enemy appearing, they would surely join forces to annihilate it!

And what he needs to do now is to get the communicator!
