Chapter 561: Divine Soldiers Descend, Demons Descend

Are these really ordinary residents?

Ordinary residents shouldn't be those who, when encountering a terrorist attack, or a gunfight or explosion, scream in terror, then clutch their heads and flee far away, right?

Why, among these ordinary residents before us, can one-third draw pistols and rifles, are organized, and coordinate to fire back at them??

Luolinü and its teammates were somewhat dazed.

Fortunately, this combat suit resembling a bodysuit seems to contain extremely high technology; although it looks extremely thin, it can provide some kind of spiritual energy stance or barrier, which is why the bewildered Luolinü and its teammates remain unharmed…

But, this safety seems only temporary.

"Roar!! Die for me!!"

Only see the Claw Mark Elite already wielding two double-edged energy swords, moving extremely fast, even comparable to the speed of the auxiliary troops who have completed augmentation surgery, closing in on Luolinü.

"Lala, be careful!"

"Clang!!"

A reincarnator loudly warned, then quickly drew a greatsword and placed it horizontally in front, finally stopping the Claw Mark Elite's charge.

The blade and stance clashed, bursting out blinding light.

Both sides were locked in a struggle.

The Claw Mark Elite's height was less than that of the reincarnator blocking him; its physique, possibly due to wearing a black formal suit, was also not as imposing as the opponent's bodysuit, but in terms of strength, the two were evenly matched.

??

This also left the reincarnator astonished.

You should know it is a reincarnator who has undergone dozens of reincarnation missions, rated SS-rank by the Main God!

Able to kill a Special Tyrannosaur with one punch, and to fight evenly with some vengeful spirits, yet unable to quickly deal with what looks like a standard alien but roars in Chinese, an Imperial civilian??

This cannot be tolerated!

Thus, in that brief moment, without waiting for other reincarnator teammates to step forward, this reincarnator increased force, causing the Claw Mark Elite's arms to begin trembling and shaking.

"Roar!!"

Knowing its strength was inferior to the Claw Mark Elite's, it roared again, but instead of continuing the struggle, it took a step back to shift the opponent's center forward, then a right dodge and turn, smoothly completing the evasion.

Moreover, while doing so, the Claw Mark Elite didn't forget to swing its left leg, using the momentum to launch a side whip kick, kicking away the reincarnator wielding the heavy sword, and shouted:

"Get lost! My target isn't you!"

After cursing, the Claw Mark Elite continued its charge; seeing its furious appearance, it seemed it would not rest until it had slain Luolinü.

Actually, the Claw Mark Elite, like Luumu who is currently following Leon in tomb exploration, is a veteran elite who once served the Holy Covenant Empire and participated in a campaign against green-skinned beastmen; the claw scars on its face came from a beastman wearing tattered armor and metal claws all over.

It can be said that the Claw Mark Elite's age is at least greater than 99% of Imperial residents.

As for the newly established colony Keluoke in the Zero Three Universe, it was due to growing weary of two centuries of warfare, and secondly, wanting to fulfill a dream by creating a desired action role-playing game.

Because he himself was of a non-traditional background, lacking strong ability, no game company in the main universe would hire him.

But a company in Keluoke did respond to his submitted resume??

Thus, the Claw Mark Elite traveled tens of thousands of light-years, took a star gate space shuttle, then passed through the space gate linking the two universes, wandering for over two weeks, finally settling down in Keluoke.

Then, after putting on the newly bought formal attire, on the first day of work, he was actually thrown into chaos by this bunch of oddly dressed freaks!!

Upon learning of such a "tumultuous" experience, if the Claw Mark Elite did not fight desperately against Luolinü, that would be the strange thing.

!!

Hearing the roar and seeing the blade emitting high heat and blue light approaching, Luolinü finally ended her bewilderment and timely dodged the Claw Mark Elite's attack.

"Ugly thing!"

Luolinü also let out a fierce shout, then attached the double-barreled shotgun to her right thigh, and simultaneously took from behind a baseball-bat-like melee weapon.

The "Rou~!" sound of tearing air.

"Bang!!" the dull sound of the stick striking flesh.

"Ah…!" and the unique wail emitted by the elite clan.

Only see Luolinü, having dodged and drawn the new weapon, then with greater speed and reaction, directly swung the bat at the Claw Mark Elite's abdomen.

The strong force made the Claw Mark Elite utter a wail, and its body uncontrollably flew backward over ten meters, also dropping a double-edged energy sword.

Finally, with a "plop!" sound, it fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

Though not dead, it suffered ruptured organs, internal bleeding and other fatal injuries, plus fractures and bone chips—those "minor" hurts were effectively alleviated by the nanobots' work, so there is no immediate danger to life.

However, such injuries also plunged the Claw Mark Elite into deep coma, let alone picking up the double-edged energy sword again to continue the attack.

"Hmph!"

Thinking it had killed Luolinü with one blow, it let out a soft snort, its face no longer astonished, and said: "Strong is strong, but compared to us reincarnators, it's still far behind…"

Saying this, Luolinü deliberately raised her voice, then flicked the baseball bat, ordering: "All use melee weapons! These Imperial civilians lacking self-awareness, enslaved as slaves, have some kind of defensive barrier (Magnus' Blessing)! But this barrier seems ineffective against melee attacks!"

"Got it!!"

"Hahaha! Let's slaughter wildly!"

Seeing their leader successfully "slay" the Claw Mark Elite, this boosted the morale of a group of reincarnators; they then promptly drew out greatswords, heavy swords, or various strange melee weapons, dispersed, and rushed like afterimages toward nearby Imperial residents.

This strategy indeed proved effective.

Magnus' Spiritual Energy Blessing, similar to some old void shields, can defend against fast-moving objects such as warheads and light beams, yet it fails to effectively intercept slower-speed aerial bombardments.

Thus, under Luolinü's brief command, the reincarnators tasked with drawing attention successfully shattered the formation composed of Imperial civilians.

However, this group composed of discharged soldiers and some constables, forming the "civilian" unit, are not fools; seeing the reincarnators' melee prowess is extremely strong, they naturally chose to proactively avoid and retreat.

Moreover, thanks to the nanobots, as long as the head wasn't severely injured, those Imperial civilians who collapsed unconscious and motionless temporarily suffer no serious harm; once the trauma team arrives to treat them, they'll soon no longer be "full of vigor".

Finally!

The reincarnators occupied the intersection, and using their brute strength pushed aside derelict vehicles to construct a simple line, facilitating their continued fire-drawing here.

"Don't run!"

"Hahaha!"

You cowards! Come over here if you've got the guts!

Moreover, these reincarnators also began shouting at the civilians who had chosen to retreat, as well as the sheriffs patrolling nearby who had arrived at the scene and opted to confront from a distance.

Terms: Reincarnators, Civilians, Sheriff. Also maybe "nearby" not.

Their expression and demeanor made it look like they had just won a crucial battle.

「。」 - empty quotes? Actually line 【64】 is just a period inside quotes? It's "。". No terms.

The remaining Imperial civilians who had taken shelter in nearby buildings, watching from the windows, all furrowed their brows, inevitably thinking the same thing.

Empire Civilians

What do these guys have to be excited about? They didn't drive off the Imperial army or the legion headquarters— is there any reason to celebrate?

Terms: Empire Army, Legion Headquarters. Also maybe "Legion Camp". We'll translate as "Legion Headquarters". Not sure if we need to list. It's a place/faction? It's a military unit. Could list as "Legion Headquarters". But it's not a proper noun; it's descriptive. We'll translate meaning but not list as a name unless it's a proper noun. Likely not needed.

The civilians were confused.

The sheriffs, and even the special unit of the Public Security Bureau, lacking enough military-grade large-caliber weapons and armored vehicles, opted to blockade the streets, confining the reincarnators' activity to this intersection, without rashly moving forward.

Terms: Sheriff, Public Security Bureau, Special Squad, military-grade not name, large-caliber weapons not name, armored vehicles not name, blockade the streets not name, Reincarnators, activity space not name, intersection not name.

But could such a routine action by the sheriffs also provoke the reincarnators into frantic shouting?

Terms: Sheriff, Reincarnators.

Whoom… boom…

At that moment, the civilians inside the buildings seemed to hear a faint engine roar from above, and a 'big thing' blocked the starlight, making the street much darker.

Terms: Civilians, building not name, above not name, engine roar not name, big thing not name, starlight not name, street not name.

？ - no.

Meanwhile.

Luolünu and the over ten reincarnators waiting at the intersection also noticed the sky had turned overcast, and immediately looked up.

Terms: intersection not name, Loli girl, Reincarnators, sky not name, overcast not name.

！ - no.

Upon seeing this, all the reincarnators again showed a look of surprise.

Terms: Reincarnators.

The 'big thing' blocking the starlight was nothing else—it was a three-kilometer-long vessel that outwardly resembled a Phoenix-class but employed extensive new technology, a Fire Spirit-class light aircraft carrier.

Terms: big thing not name, Phoenix-class maybe? Actually "Phoenix-class" is a class name: Phoenix-class. It's a proper noun? It's a meaningful term: Phoenix-class. Should we translate? It's a ship class name. According to rules, we translate meaning. So "Phoenix-class". Also Fire Spirit-class light aircraft carrier we already have as Fire Spirit-class light aircraft carrier. Also three kilometers long not name.

Although Luolünu and the reincarnators had encountered some space warships in the mission briefings from the Main God and in past reincarnation missions, this Fire Spirit-class vessel before them still refreshed their understanding.

Main God

mission brief, reincarnation missions, space warship, Fire Spirit-class

"Everyone get ready!" Luolünu shouted, raising her combat suit's shield to maximum power.

Terms: Loli girl, combat suit not name, shield not name, maximum power not name.

The other reincarnators, along with Tilas (the Cold Beauty Woman) and others hiding in the dark, responsible for observation and timely protective strikes, also imitated Luolünu's actions.

Terms: Reincarnators, Tilas, Cold Beauty Woman as epithet, Loli girl.

Because the warship appeared, they instinctively believed they would suffer close-range bombardment.

Terms: warship not name, close-range bombardment not name.

However, in reality, the Fire Spirit hovering two kilometers above had no such intention.

Terms: Fire Spirit ship maybe "Fire Spirit". Actually "Fire Spirit" is the ship's name: Fire Spirit. We'll translate as "Fire Spirit". It's a proper noun (ship name). So we need to list "Fire Spirit". Also two kilometers not name.

Bombardment?

Not worth it.

It might damage nearby buildings' structures, and the road surface will definitely need renovation— which of these doesn't require funds and resources to repair?

Terms: nearby buildings not name, road surface not name, funds, resources not name.

Bombardment is impossible, so the Fire Spirit-class directly opened the right side of its hull, specifically the air valve gate of one hangar.

Terms: Fire Spirit-class we have, hull not name, right side not name, hangar not name, air valve gate not name.

Then, two squads equipped with Thor's Hammer Mark X, with armor modified like the Shanwen and Mingguang armor of the Astate Assaulters, stepped forward and leapt downward, performing a free fall toward Luolünu and the reincarnators' position.

Terms: Thor's Hammer Mark X we have, armor not name, Shanwen? Actually "Shanwen" maybe a type of armor pattern? Could be a proper noun? It's likely a type of armor pattern, not a name., Mingguang armor maybe a type of armor. Not a name., Assaulters, Astate, free fall not name, Loli girl, Reincarnators.

The red plumes on their helmets fluttered in the wind, and together with these two assault squads not holding explosive bolt guns but gripping similarly styled Huaxia chain swords and chain saw spears, these true giants seemed like 'divine weapons descending from heaven.'

Terms: helmet not name, red plume not name, Explosive Bolt Gun we have, Huaxia style not name, Chain Sword glossary, Chain Saw Spear we have, giants not name, divine weapons descending not name.

！！ - no.

But upon seeing the twelve assaulters about to approach, Luolünu instead felt like demons were descending, especially the two assaulter captains whose helmets were adorned with ghost-mask decorations.

Terms: Assaulters, Loli girl, demon descent not name, Assaulter Captain maybe? We'll translate as "Assaulter Captain". Not a proper noun. ghost mask not name.

"Fire! Fire!"

Without time to think, Luolünu and her companions freed their hands, using guns and cannons that had previously been ineffective against civilians and sheriffs, to launch an attack on the two assault squads in free fall.

Terms: Loli girl, companions not name, Civilians, Sheriff, gun not name, cannon not name, free fall not name, Assaulters.

"Whoom! Whoom!"

The result was obvious: whether guns or cannons, unless they hit a point for sustained bombardment, they could not shatter the Thor's Hammer series' energy shield.

Terms: gun not name, cannon not name, Thor's Hammer series not name, energy shield not name.

Moreover, the two-kilometer free pass happened in an instant, almost in the blink of an eye, and the twelve assaulters adjusted their angle, feet pointing downward.

Terms: 2000 meters not name, free fall not name, Assaulters.

Furthermore, to avoid accidentally damaging the road surface, they deployed temporary levitation devices at around a hundred meters altitude, finally landing smoothly around the intersection.

Terms: road surface not name, height not name, levitation device not name, intersection not name.

"Imperial lackeys!"

"Die!"

As soon as they landed, Luolünu and her companions rushed toward the nearest assaulter.

Terms: Loli girl, companions not name, Assaulters.

Luolünu also selected the assaulter captain wearing a ghost mask, and with extreme speed closed the distance, then, gripping a baseball bat with both hands, swung with all her might at the captain's waist.

Terms: Loli girl, ghost mask not name, Assaulter Captain not name, Baseball Bat we have, Reincarnators? Actually not.

"Hah, trash."

But seeing such a feeble attack, the silent assaulter captain couldn't help but utter a scoff, then swung his chain sword with his right hand, easily deflecting the baseball bat, while simultaneously throwing a straight punch with his left hand.

"Pfft!"— a spray of blood shot from his nose.

With a "pffft!", nose blood spurts out. - no.

Originally matching the aesthetic of most Imperial citizens, Luolünu's absolutely sweet and cute appearance was ruined by the captain's left straight punch to her face.

Terms: appearance not name, Empire, Loli girl, captain not name, left straight punch not name.

Her nose bridge was crooked, her eye and mouth corners split, and her body uncontrollably flew backward.

Terms: nose bridge not name, eye corner not name, mouth corner not name, body not name, blasted away not name.

It was that kind of recoil-induced blast.

Worse still, an assaulter in Luolünu's blast trajectory, to avoid her hitting a nearby building wall and causing extra damage, chose to swing his chain saw spear toward her head.

Terms: Loli girl, blast trajectory not name, nearby buildings not name, wall not name, top not name, Chain Saw Spear we have.

"Crack… pfft!"

The spear tip, with its high-speed rotating chain, pierced Luolünu from the top of her head through her head, chest cavity, abdomen, and even her entire body.

Terms: high-speed rotating chain not name, spear tip not name, Loli girl, top of head not name, head not name, chest cavity not name, abdomen not name, whole person not name, pierce through not name.

In the end, Luolünu resembled a meat skewer hung on a bamboo stick during a barbecue.

Terms: Loli girl, grilled meat not name, people not name, bamboo skewer not name, meat skewer not name.

"Ugh… ugh…"

Even after becoming a meat skewer, Luolünu wasn't completely dead and still struggled to regain freedom.

Terms: meat skewer not name, Loli girl, freedom not name.

Seeing this, the assaulter performed a spear dance, completely cutting the Luolünu, still attached with meat fibers and tendons, into two pieces.

Terms: Assaulter, spear dance not name, meat fibers not name, tendons not name, Loli girl, two pieces not name.

"Sizzle… sizzle…"

Bits of flesh and blood clots scattered onto the ground.

Terms: flesh and blood clots not name, ground not name.

At this moment, the reincarnator squad led by the Luolünu named Li Lala, tasked with drawing the metropolitan area's attention, was completely wiped out, annihilated by the two squads of Astate Assaulters.

Terms: responsible for attracting metropolitan area attention not name, metropolitan area not name, Li Lala we have, Loli girl, Reincarnator Squad maybe? We'll translate as "Reincarnator Squad". Not a proper noun but a unit. Could list as "Reincarnator Squad". However it's descriptive. We'll not list unless it's a proper noun. annihilated not name. two squads of Astate Assaulters we have Astate and Assaulters. annihilated not name.

Actually, these reincarnators, in one-on-one situations, are indeed not much inferior to the Astate, and are even stronger than support troops.

Terms: Reincarnators, Astate, support troops not name.

However, in a nanosecond-level duel, a slight difference means being instantly killed.

Terms: nanosecond-level not name, duel not name, instant kill not name.

!! - no.

Seeing the scene before them, the cold beauty hiding at the alley mouth, as well as the reincarnator tasked with protecting the loli girl and other companions, hurriedly halted their intention to act.

How are we supposed to fight in this situation?

It's obvious that the difficulty of the mission the main god gave them far exceeds imagination; unless it's their team captain Zhan Ying, facing such high-end combat power as Astate means only death.

Retreat!

Besides retreating, they have no other choice; they simply cannot rescue the Loli girl.

Just as they turned around and retreated deep into the alley, preparing to use the manhole cover to enter the underground sewage system…

"Ah, I really don't know what you reincarnators are thinking; don't you realize you've been deceived?"

As the cold beauty, they heard a burst of complaints, then discovered that at the end of the alley a flash of azure blue light appeared; after that, NuoWa, with blond ponytail and slung across the waist, stood blocking their retreat path.
