Chapter 560: Reincarnation and the 'Residents

Plop~! Plop!

As the teleportation light flashed, a large number of 'objects' fell straight into the filthy, foul-smelling reservoir that looked like a swamp stew.

Holy shit! This is so fucking disgusting!

Ugh... it feels like maggots got into my mouth...

The Main God's really screwing us over this time, what's going on?

Immediately, the space inside the reservoir filled with the grumbling and complaints of at least dozens of 'people'.

'People'...

Just looking at these dozens of guys who struggled a bit, then swam out of the reservoir and climbed up the surrounding metal corridors, their appearance and attire were completely standard human in every way.

Moreover, the men among them were all incredibly muscular, with some unique individuals reaching a height of 2.7 meters, almost identical to the first-generation Astate.

The women were curvaceous, with looks that were standard older-sister and loli types...

Yes, that's right, there were also women with loli height, build, and twin-tail hairstyle.

Furthermore, these dozens of guys all wore black combat suits made of some special material, and within seconds of climbing onto the corridors, any sewage stains were automatically cleaned off.

At the same time, their combat suits had weapons and gear magnetically attached to the waist, back, and outer thighs, and their wrists were fitted with individual computers featuring holographic screens.

All these signs and characteristics indicate they might be a certain special operations unit, though other possibilities aren't ruled out.

After quickly gathering themselves, they were led by a 'captain' about 2.5 meters tall with a ferocious scar on his right cheek, who, based on information from the holographic screen, led the whole team out of the reservoir via the corridors, proceeding forward along the damp, dark passage beneath the metropolis.

If observed, it's easy to see that their walking route perfectly avoids surveillance cameras, thereby opening a stealth path.

During this, they were still communicating in low voices;

It's too smelly here... even though the combat suit cleans me up, I feel like I won't be able to eat anything for these few days.

These few days? Come on, this mission's difficulty is SSS-level; whether we can make it back alive to the Main God's space is still up for debate.

Tsk, Shadow, why do you always like to say these ominous things?

Quiet down, don't think that after doing a few SS missions in a row we're invincible; also, our Eagle Team has survived to now thanks to strength, not some illusory omen or lack thereof.

Finally, a woman with a cold, gorgeous appearance spoke up, cutting off the conversation of this group that calls itself the Eagle Team.

For a moment, the tunnel fell silent, with only the sound of sewage water flowing, the noise from old lighting equipment, and the footsteps of this group echoing.

Not long after,

This group then arrived at a mandatory junction and forced them to stop, because an inconspicuous surveillance camera was installed above the junction.

The 'people' gathered not far from the edge of what the camera could capture, discussing together how to handle it.

"Everyone." Only seeing the scar-faced captain, he enlarged the holographic screen several times, then looked around at all his teammates present, and said in a low voice:

"This is the map of Keluoke; our current position is about twelve kilometers straight-line distance from the target location, and a forced breakthrough would take roughly four minutes."

"But if we do that, we'll inevitably draw the siege of the Empire's lackeys." A bald, muscular man also chimed in with a low voice.

"Empire's lackeys..." the loli-looking guy said with a worried face: "In the Main God's mission briefing, it said this Empire is the most evil and most authoritarian regime in the galaxy, plus there are those modified humans, super soldiers, and the Empire's army legions..."

Saying this, the loli girl couldn't help but ask: "If those super soldiers called Astate truly are as the Main God described, possessing reaction speeds in microseconds (us), even nanoseconds (ns), as well as steel-reinforced bones and bullet- and explosion-proof skin, can we beat them?"

Upon hearing that,

Most of their expressions grew much more solemn.

Because in their understanding, normal human reaction time is 200 milliseconds (ms), i. e., 0.2 seconds; 1 microsecond equals 0.000001 seconds; 1 nanosecond equals 0.000000001 seconds.

The Main God who teleported them here and assigned their mission stated in the briefing that different legions of Astate have different levels of reaction speed.

In the partial detailed data provided, it is recorded that Astate's reaction speed when wounded or near death can still be maintained at 6 microseconds, while normally it ranges between 30 and 70 nanoseconds.

According to this data, plus the Human Empire possessing millions of Astate, if their morale hadn't sunk, that would be strange.

Seeing their companions somewhat dejected, the cold, gorgeous woman snorted and said: "Hah! It's precisely because of these millions of lackeys that this so-called Human Empire can maintain its tyranny."

But we are all Reincarnators! And we are the absolute elite among Reincarnators; our captain War Eagle is no less than…

No! It should be said that we are far stronger than Astate powerhouses; you all are, and although the Main God didn't give exact data, you are absolutely stronger than Astate!

Why argue? As long as we unite, we can absolutely complete all tasks given by the Main God and become the strongest existence!

After saying that, the cold, gorgeous woman looked toward their captain, the scarred War Eagle.

"Hmm." War Eagle lightly nodded, "After so many reincarnation missions, we've also obtained various enhancements and unlocks from the Main God; theoretically we shouldn't fear those Astate."

"But our target is the OriginalBody named Sui Meng; that guy possesses strength surpassing any Astate."

He paused.

War Eagle then turned his gaze back to the holographic map and began assigning work: "According to the Main God's hint, if we trigger any alarm on Keluoke or destroy any surveillance, the district will be fully locked down within ten minutes."

So, we need to split into three teams.

Li Lala, you and your squad are responsible for drawing fire as much as possible in the upper city area; remember, you don't need to pity anything—those who can live in the metropolis, residents and civilians alike, are all completely brainwashed, have fully unleashed their evil nature, and have become the scum of Imperial slaves.

Understood?

The words fell.

The loli girl nodded and replied: "Alright... we'll do our best."

"Mm, please." War Eagle then looked toward the cool, gorgeous older sister and continued ordering: "Tillas, you and your squad will covertly cover Li Lala and her team."

"If anything happens, you must rescue them immediately, then retreat to the underground sewage system to hide, wait for the time to end, and directly teleport back to the Main God's space."

"Okay, Captain, I'll take it." The cool, gorgeous older sister replied without any hesitation.

"Mm." War Eagle also nodded.

Finally, the squad captain turned his gaze to the bald guy and the companions whose builds exceeded 2.5–2.6 meters, and said with a smile:

"Dinosaur, Vulture… eliminating the target and completing the Main God's SSS-level mission will be left to us, the representatives of combat strength."

"Hahaha! No problem! I ain't scared of that Sui whatever OriginalBody; when I see it I'm gonna beat the hell out of it!"

The bald guy nicknamed Dinosaur laughed out loud, completely not taking this mission's target—the OriginalBody of the Assault Squad Legion—to heart.

"Very good, that's the spirit… Lala, when do we start? It's up to you," Zhan Ying said, then turned with his companions to look at the young girl.

Feeling the pressure, the loli girl said little, merely gave a slight nod as a signal, and moved forward together with more than ten others.

Then the loli girl drew a double‑barrel hunting rifle…

"Bang!!"

Accompanied by a gunshot that instantly reverberated through the entire tunnel, the surveillance camera was shattered outright by that loli girl.

Immediately after, the more than ten individuals, including the loli girl, paired off or formed groups of three, divided into four squads that rushed into the intersection, then sprinted through the stairs at a blur, heading toward the surface streets above.

The cold‑beauty, meanwhile, activated the camouflage of her combat suit with a companion and "disappeared" at the intersection.

Finally.

The War Eagle and the remaining thirty‑plus hulks waited patiently for a moment, then likewise lunged forward at full speed toward their target.

It seemed that this so‑called "Reincarnator" squad, for some reason related to the "Lord God" or "Lord God Space", had each become extraordinarily powerful, to the point that even an OriginalBody was no longer a concern…

…

Soon after.

Keluoke Metropolitan Area.

Starlight shone brightly.

Located on the fringe of the Zero‑Three Galaxy, this emerging colony, less than thirty years newly developed, already accommodates 160 million humans within its metropolitan area.

Beyond the planet's surface being suitable for terraforming and yielding perpetual spring after modification, the primary draw is that Keluoke's star system is rich in gold and other metal ores, attracting countless pioneers and private mining firms.

At the same time, because of its abundant resources and reserves, Keluoke frequently supplies food, water, and essential provisions to the expeditionary forces led by Rog, Shengjilesi, and Sui Meng.

And today.

It just so happened that the three OriginalBodies on "shift" responsible for the transport fleet arrived at Keluoke to receive the prepared supplies; otherwise that Reincarnator squad would have received a mission from the Lord God to kill OriginalBody Sui Meng.

At this moment, more than ten kilometers south of the Star Port…

"Boom!!"

A violent explosion erupted from the ground up at the main road intersection on the surface.

Many drivers of wheeled ground vehicles had no time to react; both they and their cars were struck or flipped by the blast.

"Awo… Awo…!"

Near the blast's center, an elite driver in a black suit, with three claw marks on his right eye and right cheek, climbed out of the overturned vehicle, shook his head, and moved his four‑petaled mouth, trying to fully regain consciousness.

Fortunately, the elite driver's physique was tough, and the civilian cars—still of half‑century‑old military grade—prevented more serious injuries.

He slowed down a bit.

The smoke and shockwave dissipated completely.

Afterwards, the elite driver with claw marks and the nearby drivers and pedestrians who were injured or unconscious from the blast all saw the loli girl and the Reincarnators leap onto the road through the fissures created by the explosion.

"Fire! ~"

The loli girl raised her double‑barrel rifle, gave a single command toward the claw‑marked elite ahead, and prepared to pull the trigger.

??

"Bang!!"

The claw‑marked elite had no time to think; relying on his race's combat instinct and nearly two centuries of battle experience, he performed a rightward roll before the gunfire, evading the loli girl's attack.

Not just him.

All the drivers and pedestrians present were assaulted by these Reincarnators.

!!

In an instant, the intersection descended into utter chaos, and not every civilian could evade the attack like the claw‑marked elite.

"Damn! My arm…! I'll fight you! Die! Die!"

"Susan! Come quickly… fast!"

"Help that guy… Nice! Stay hidden there, don't come out!"

A burly pedestrian's arm was blasted by a shot; blood surged only briefly, and a thin membrane instantly covered the large wound, successfully staunching the bleeding.

Moreover, the sturdy pedestrian used his intact right hand to lift his shirt, draw a 14 mm caliber, legally modified pulse pistol from a quick‑draw holster at his waist, then took cover behind abandoned vehicles and roadside greenery, exchanging fire with the loli girl and her companions.

Clearly, the hulking man was a retired member of the Empire's army or navy.

Moreover, increasingly many veterans were pulling pistols and semi‑automatic rifles from their waists, vehicle trunks, or storage boxes.

Some even coordinated brief tactics and launched an immediate counterattack.

However, the overwhelming majority were genuine "ordinary" civilians; faced with armed and small‑caliber artillery wielded by the cannon‑loli girl and the Reincarnators, they could only flee wounded.

Only…

When certain attacks threatened residents with lethal danger, faint, fleeting pink‑glowing Spiritual Energy shields would ripple around them, helping to nullify the fatal blows.

In fact, when the loli girl detonated the explosives, Magnus, who sat on the golden throne (Spiritual Energy Defense Amplified Version) for his father, noticed another Reincarnator squad surfacing in the Zero‑Three Universe.

Thus this OriginalBody, who enjoys "home study," continued his father's work, offering protection to these Empire residents.

At this moment, the claw‑marked elite who first evaded the attack…

"Awo!!"

He then pulled two vintage sword hilts from the car's rear trunk, swung them left and right, causing the hilts to generate dual‑blade energy swords; with a roar, he launched a charge.

In contrast, the side of the loli girl and her companions tasked with drawing fire for the entire Reincarnator squad…

"That can't be right!! Are these guys really slaves? Really civilians? Not some Empire troops?!"

The loli girl stood dazed on the ground, but her combat suit generated a faintly glowing shield or force field, helping to withstand the concentrated fire from the "civilian".

But…

What on earth is happening?!
