Chapter 174: Great Man

After the humanoid Alien realized that the Zerglings around it were rapidly decreasing, it accelerated its advance, wanting to quickly finish off this group of Humans before it.

Yingzhou watched as the Zergling swarm was reduced to only those wrapped in the humanoid Alien's force field, numbering about 500 or so; these Zerglings would just be sending themselves to their deaths against the Catachan toughs, and he should now consider how to sever the connection between that Alien and the Hatchery.

"Take them out! For the Emperor!"

The Catachan toughs around Yingzhou saw that those Aliens were almost upon them and charged forward, holding their Laser Guns; some Catachan toughs held their Laser Guns in their right hands while drawing their Catachan Combat Knives with their left.

The humanoid Alien collided with these Catachan toughs along with the Zerglings, and it was a one-sided slaughter; only the humanoid Alien was not killed in a single blow by the Catachan toughs. Seeing that these Humans were even fiercer than those Human Alliance soldiers, the humanoid Alien looked at a Catachan tough nearest to it with scarlet eyes, spread its wings, and in the blink of an eye, pierced the Catachan tough's abdomen with its sharp forelimbs, after which this Catachan tough roared and raised the Catachan Combat Knife in his hand, wanting to slash at the humanoid Alien's neck.

"Screw you, eat my..."

But before he could finish, a surge of energy erupted from the Alien's sharp forelimbs, instantly disintegrating the Catachan tough; only a Catachan Combat Knife and a Laser Gun fell to the ground, with his flesh and blood completely vanished.

All of this happened very quickly; from the moment the humanoid Alien moved to the Catachan tough being disintegrated, it took less than two seconds.

Subsequently, the humanoid Alien began to kill the other few Aliens. Yingzhou felt a wave of horror in his heart after seeing the Alien instantly disintegrate the Catachan tough's body; these were Catachan toughs, after all—how could this humanoid Alien be so strong? So, is this why the system believes it can be recovered as Fusion Gene Primarch Material?

Yingzhou could only pick up the Chainsword in his hand and quickly charge toward the humanoid Alien; although he did not know if the humanoid Alien had other powers it hadn't displayed yet, he still had to recover it as material!

Seeing the strength of the humanoid Alien, the Catachan toughs did not dare to be careless; they left a small portion of Catachan toughs to clear out the remaining Zerglings, while the rest launched an attack on the humanoid Alien.

Yingzhou broke out from among the Catachan toughs, his Chainsword colliding with the humanoid Alien's sharp forelimbs with a buzzing sound; a powerful energy wave spread out from the center of Yingzhou and the humanoid Alien, blowing away the Catachan toughs who were trying to move forward.

Yingzhou was then pushed back by the powerful force. "Damn! I'm not that person after all; I'm still too weak!"

Seeing the humanoid Alien continue to attack toward his side, Yingzhou began to attempt to condense weapons with Spiritual Power. That Greatsword from before had been truly too difficult for him to condense, but after mastering the technique, Yingzhou began to try to condense the weapon he wanted.

As the humanoid Alien's forelimbs stabbed toward Yingzhou, he condensed a Hammer in his right hand and smashed it fiercely onto the Alien's forelimbs.

Yingzhou gripped the Hammer formed from Spiritual Power in his hand, its surface covered in a layer of red Spiritual Power, smashing the humanoid Alien's forelimbs until they were somewhat deformed.

Yingzhou looked at the Hammer in his hand in disbelief; he hadn't thought much just now, condensing it entirely by instinct, and some things from his past life seemed to surface in his mind.

Feeling the power, which was completely different from that Greatsword before—that Greatsword had a feeling that if used improperly, one would suffer a backlash; although the scorching flames could destroy any Alien, because his own strength could not control that power, he could only use it carefully.

Yet the Hammer he had unconsciously condensed in an instant now gave him a gentle feeling.

Upon seeing the Hammer that had suddenly appeared in Yingzhou's right hand, the humanoid Alien sensed a strange power.

Far away at the Hatchery, the Overmind writhed its body in confusion.

"Strange, a power I have never seen before. It has made my connection with that child much weaker. I must eliminate this Human; he seems to want to sever the connection between me and the child!"

As the thought was transmitted to the humanoid Alien, the wings on its back spread out, and in addition to the wings, some spikes grew from its back, and its sharp forelimbs quickly slashed toward Yingzhou's throat.

Yingzhou quickly used the Hammer in his hand to smash away the humanoid Alien's forelimbs, his thoughts racing.

Looking at the Hammer in his hand, a flash of light crossed Yingzhou's mind.

So that was it; he had been wondering why this Hammer looked so familiar—it turned out to be a symbol he had often seen in his past life.

In Yingzhou's ears, the words once spoken by that great man seemed to ring out again.

"The world is yours, and also... the hope is pinned on you!"

Recalling this, Yingzhou's eyes could not help but grow moist; in his past life, he had not become the vibrant sun in that great man's heart, and he had failed that great man's expectations.

But that great man's expectations seemed to have never vanished, even though he had come to this strange world, constantly destroying Alien Races and fighting for the continuation of Humanity.

Thinking about it now, whether it was that Human Lord or that great leader in the deepest part of his heart.

Everything he was doing now was done because he had been influenced by them.

Yingzhou watched as the humanoid Alien's speed increased once more, wanting to flank him; as he swung the Hammer in his right hand, Yingzhou condensed a crescent-shaped sickle in his left hand.

A red light flashed, and the humanoid Alien's body stiffened; facing Yingzhou's follow-up attack, it had no power to fight back.

"This material has met the recovery standard. Please have the host restrain the material, cause it to lose its ability to act, and then, as before, touch the material to recover it."

Yingzhou looked at the humanoid Alien before him that had lost its ability to act and spoke.

"It has lost its ability to act; it can be recovered."

Subsequently, the Hammer in Yingzhou's right hand dissipated, and his palm touched the humanoid Alien's body. After the system recovered this material, Yingzhou felt the fear of that child before death; facing the terrifying Zerg, his heart was filled with deep despair until the end, because that child knew that no one would save him.

Yingzhou stood up slowly; the weapons he had condensed with Spiritual Power had already dissipated, and the surrounding Zerglings had long since been wiped out by the Catachan toughs.

In the eyes of these Catachan toughs looking at Yingzhou, there was no emotion other than Loyalty.

"Let's go; our objective has been achieved. Prepare to retreat!"

Yingzhou said to the Catachan toughs around him.

"Great Emperor, we follow your will!"
