Chapter 607: Could it be that he really isn't human?
"We'll charge in a moment to cover you; you break out in the opposite direction. Every one that makes it counts!"
"I can't go on, Perkins. I'll provide cover, you charge out. Taichen, you can do it too, your speed..."
Taichen's leg was broken; he couldn't run.

Fadi Gu looked up and sneered, "None of you are getting away!"
He, the strongest, hadn't even made a move yet. This human brat was actually quite fierce—a cornered dog jumping over a wall. So, he would let his subordinates wear them down first; it would be easy for him to reap the harvest later.
Universe Flame burned, and Fadi directly ignited his Universe Flame Peak Heavenly Eye. The third soul-pupil on his forehead instantly caused the pressure in the arena to surge violently. The wild ambition and bloodlust of the beasts even triggered the eyes of the other Orcs to turn blood-red, and they began to attack recklessly.
Perkins let out a roar, "Depuya, go! Charge with me!"
Perkins, Weijia, and Taichen met the dozen or so Orcs head-on. Depuya gritted his teeth and immediately entered a stealth state, disappearing into the barrier. But after a dozen seconds, a series of explosions rang out in the space. Depuya stumbled out, his chest covered in three huge, bloody gashes, his ribs exposed.
Fadi Gu blocked Depuya and licked the blood off his Beast Martial Alloy Claw. "Where do you think you're going? Using stealth in front of Orcs, you
humans are truly stupid!"
Depuya knew there was no way out. Disregarding his injuries, his Universe Flame burned. Yet, after a year, he still hadn't opened his Heavenly Eye. Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, Perkins bled from his seven orifices, but his Universe Flame suddenly climbed to a level that even surprised Fadi. Perkins's Heavenly Eye appeared. With a ferocious expression, he stabbed a sword through an Orc, severed the opponent's head, and roared, "Go help Depuya! Leave this to me!"
Weijia and Taichen were both shocked. Neither of them knew that Perkins had actually opened his Heavenly Eye. Just looking at Perkins's state, it seemed extremely forced; he was burning his life force. The blood-red Heavenly Eye boosted his power but also made Perkins's condition terrifying, with black blood constantly seeping out.
"Don't be afraid! Charge! Kill him, and you'll be heroes of the Empire. I will request rewards for you! Those who retreat will die!" Fadi roared. He hadn't expected human trash like them to be able to open a Heavenly Eye. Distracted for a moment, he was slashed by Depuya.
As his figure retreated, Depuya looked at Perkins, gritted his teeth, and broke out toward the exterior. The Orcs responsible for the barrier had to move to intercept him, causing the barrier to become unstable and power to leak out. The Omniscient Anthem would soon know about this. Fadi didn't want to fall short of success; if the mission wasn't completed, it would be a huge problem.
Also ignoring his injuries, with a boom, the entire earth trembled. Hunting Moment!
Just as Depuya repelled the incoming Orc, his body took a heavy blow. Blood sprayed across the sky, and he was sent flying. If Fadi Gu hadn't been in such a rush, that claw could have gouged out Depuya's heart.
Fadi Gu lunged forward. Boom~~~~
With an earth-shattering explosion, the Universe Flame burst. Two Heavenly Eye Warriors collided. At the critical moment, Perkins blocked Fadi's fierce attack, but one was a seasoned Heavenly Eye and the other was a rushed Heavenly Eye that had already been half-exhausted. The difference was clear; Perkins's right arm was torn right off.
Boom...
Perkins was kicked into the air. Depuya immediately rushed up to catch Perkins. A tyrannical force instantly surged through both of them, and they flew out.
Perkins had already passed out. Depuya held Perkins, wailing, but no sound came out. The two of them had been bickering since the Apocalypse days—arguing about everything. Even after they became famous, they still argued. One was a loudmouth, the other a Mad Dog. But Depuya knew Perkins had always let him have his way. All along, Perkins's power and talent had been greater than his, and in terms of social conduct, Depuya truly never thought of the consequences, while Perkins was actually very tactful. Even during the Kepler war, this was their unique way of getting along—they understood each other best. Perkins hadn't originally intended to come here, but in the end, he followed him.
He was, once again, the one being taken care of. Why was he the useless one every time?
He had been working hard, but why? At this moment, he felt unprecedented despair. His past confidence hadn't been his own at all, because Li Hao was there. And after Li Hao was gone, he was nothing. Perkins had followed him precisely because he was worried about this.
Second Brother, where are you?

If Second Brother were here, how would these Orcs ever get the chance to bully them like this?
Depuya looked at the dying Perkins, wishing so much that Li Hao were by his side. Even if he died, it would be fine if he could save Perkins and the others. Weijia and Taichen had also been beaten down. Unprecedented despair shrouded his heart. The Orcs were laughing wildly. Fadi Gu was contentedly feeling his blood-stained Fangs, savoring the humbleness and helplessness of his prey in their final moments.
"Kill!" The Orcs surged forward.
He was able to fight Void creatures one-on-one; relying on Spirit power alone was far from enough. It was his Golden Cells and the power of his Inner Universe. This was also the foundation for his physical body to perform Quantum Tunneling. Every Golden Cell stored power. Of course, once it was exhausted, extreme hunger would occur, so Li Hao was quite controlled when using his power, especially after reaching the Judgment level. However, if he could help those who called out to him for help, he would give as much as he could. Anyone who could resonate with his Spirit was his closest kin.
Li Hao didn't know what had happened, but he felt that the power stored in a certain number of his Golden Cells had suddenly emptied.
At this moment in the Omniscient Anthem, Fadi's alloy claw had already stabbed down. It had been a long time since he'd skewered a human like a candied hawthorn. At the same time, the other Orcs also plunged their claws toward Taichen and Weijia.
The Holy Judgment Squad was on the way, but they wouldn't be that fast. By the time they arrived, they would only face corpses and Orcs prepared to take the blame.
Fadi Gu's alloy claw grabbed down; he wanted to see if the human's heart was beating fast. Boom...
A terrifying Universe Flame erupted violently from Depuya's body. A completely incongruous aura burned fiercely. The Orcs preparing to kill Weijia and Taichen were also stunned. At this moment, Depuya had already set Perkins down. His eyes were blood-red, but on his forehead was a golden Heavenly Eye.
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble.
It seemed as if something was beating; the whole world was following his heartbeat. In an instant, Depuya disappeared. Fadi reacted quickly and stabbed a claw forward. Although he was amazed by Depuya's speed, he still caught him. The claw pierced into his chest, but it was stuck by the ribs and didn't go in, while Depuya's hand-blade had already pierced through.
He directly gouged out the Orc's heart. Fadi Gu's beast eyes bulged, and he immediately let out a hysterical wail, "Mine, give my heart back to me..."
Fadi's eyes bulged out, his wailing turned into whimpering. He watched helplessly as his heart was crushed by Depuya. Following that, he defecated and urinated simultaneously, struggled and squirmed on the ground a few times, and finally breathed his last.
When the other Orcs saw this scene, they instantly scattered like birds and beasts, ignoring everything else. This brutal scene had happened to one of their own; the Orcs' courage had collapsed. As for Fadi Gu, he would have to take full responsibility. A dead boss was nothing; the Orcs were even more ruthless when it came to shifting blame.
Depuya stood there, his strength seemingly drained in an instant. The golden Heavenly Eye on his forehead was slowly disappearing. In that moment of despair, he had felt a powerful force instantly surge into his body. It was a familiar aura; he was certain it was Second Brother's.
He didn't know what had happened, only that Second Brother had responded to his request like a god, bestowing power upon him.
How could this be? He hadn't even reacted to the fact that he had survived the disaster.
Perkins had also been jolted awake, but he couldn't move at all. He just stared with his big eyes. His brain was much more useful. He and Depuya were a pair of brothers in adversity. He was the kind of fence-sitter that neither grandmother nor grandfather loved, and his only true brother was Depuya. He had actually opposed coming out—the outside was too difficult, especially without the Council's support—but he couldn't resist Depuya's persistence.
As for death, it was just a matter of time. Perkins wasn't afraid of death; he just didn't want to die so miserably. It would have been better to die in battle on Kepler. Depuya was the weakest among them and had already been in despair. Being the closest to him, he had naturally heard Depuya's muttering.
But it was impossible for Li Hao to be in the Omniscient Anthem. They were separated by who knew how many light-years. Even if he had the power, what could he do?
This...

Li Hao... Li Ge, could it be that he really isn't human?
