Chapter 515: Battle

"Give these 15 guests a proper welcome."

As the Prophet's words fell, endless Void creatures surged toward the members of the Tianjian Squad like a tide.

Seeing this, Shen did not hesitate in the slightest and shouted out loud.

"Retreat!"

"First, put some distance between us and this so-called Universe Gate, then we'll discuss the rest!"

As Shen's words fell, the other 14 members turned and ran without a moment's hesitation; not one of them attempted to stay behind to confront the endless Void creatures.

Seeing the other 14 people running, Shen followed closely behind.

With the powerful propulsion systems of their Power Armor, the 15 of them fled at high speed.

In just over ten seconds, they returned to the Light Shuttle.

The 15 people boarded the shuttle one after another, then sped off into the distance.

The Prophet just watched all of this quietly.

There was not the slightest expression on his face.

He merely clenched his fist lightly toward the Void, then turned around to look at the Universe Gate once more.

At this moment, the Tianjian Squad had already activated a Wormhole, preparing to escape through it and put some distance between them.

However, they overlooked one thing.

Their opponents were Void creatures.

When the Wormhole opened, purple Void Energy poured into it, and in the blink of an eye, a small Universe Gate appeared; the Void creatures that had already been left behind surged out again along this small Universe Gate.

This scene made Shen's eyes widen.

Void Energy can erode a Wormhole and convert it into a Universe Gate?

That's a bit cheap!

If it were really like this, wouldn't the greater part of the Galaxy that Huaxia had conquered be reduced to ashes?

At that time, every civilization would become an isolated island, unable to connect with other civilizations, let alone Huaxia; that would truly be a destructive catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Shen activated his Optical Brain and prepared to transmit the information back to Earth Headquarters.

However, at this moment, the Optical Brain could not connect to the Earth's network.

Seeing this situation, Shen let out a sigh.

No matter what, he had to survive today and bring this news back to Earth!

Otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Shen thought of a lot, it had been less than a second.

He nimbly started the shuttle and engaged maximum speed.

In just a few seconds, the shuttle reached sub-light speed.

He had thought that this way, they could completely shake off this group of Void creatures.

But what they never expected was...

The shuttle, having reached sub-light speed, had actually returned to the Styx System.

The Prophet stood with his back to the shuttle, facing the Universe Gate.

"Don't think about escaping; do you think I would let you escape?" the Prophet said without looking back.

"Space has been distorted by me; now you have only one choice: fight to the end and break through the encirclement."

Although separated by the shuttle, the 15 members of the Tianjian Squad still heard the Prophet's words clearly.

The 15 people did not speak, only looked at each other.

Then they made their decision.

The 15 people stepped off the shuttle in unison and activated their Power Halberds.

Instantly, 15 Power Halberds glowing with a faint blue light appeared, and the 15 people formed a formation.

Just as everything was completed.

Countless Void creatures rushed out from the Universe Gate in front of the Prophet once again, heading straight for the 15 people.

Shen stood at the very front of the formation.

Looking at the Void creature closest to him, he swung his Power Halberd without hesitation.

A squelching sound was heard.

The Void creature at the very front was split in two, and purple bodily fluids splashed out instantly, causing the other Void creatures to become even more violent.

But Shen was not so nervous anymore.

After that last strike, he had roughly understood the strength of these Void creatures.

They were only slightly stronger than the Zerg—that is, a strength that a Chainsword could not penetrate, but killing them with a Power Sword was still easy.

Tsk!

Honestly, I have to say.

The Power Sword invented by the Chief Engineer has been in use for over a hundred years; it hasn't fallen behind in the slightest and is still just as powerful. Even when facing Void creatures never seen before, it can still easily slaughter them.

And Shen's strike also made the Prophet slightly surprised.

"Hm? Killed it just like that?"

The Prophet turned around and looked at the 15 members of the Tianjian Squad.

Although the ones he summoned were only the lowest-level Void Minions, these Void Minions were still not that easy to deal with.

Wanting to slaughter them with ease was truly a pipe dream.

But yet...

Thinking of this, the Prophet's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Power Halberd in Shen's hand.

This weapon... is a bit overpowered.

If the Void could obtain a weapon like this... then perhaps...

Thinking of this, the Prophet raised a hand again.

From the massive Universe Gate behind him, a group of Void creatures surged out once more.

Only this time, the Void creatures were significantly stronger than the previous ones, judging by their aura alone.

The Prophet gently stroked his chin.

"Low-level Void creatures, they should be enough to wear them down to death!"

"It's a pity that the Universe Gate isn't that stable, and I cannot summon mid-level Void creatures; otherwise, the speed could be even faster."

As the Low-level Void creatures joined the battlefield, Shen and the others immediately felt the pressure.

These Low-level Void creatures already possessed basic intelligence; they hid among the Void Minions, launching a powerful sneak attack from time to time.

Although they couldn't cause much significant damage, their unique Void Energy could often force a member of the Tianjian Squad to stumble back several steps.

Thereby disrupting the formation currently composed of the 15 people.

Shen frowned and immediately shouted.

"Activate the Deflection Shield!"

Upon hearing this, the other 14 people immediately activated it via their Optical Brains; the Deflection Shield was something only available on their 15 sets of Power Armor.

The Deflection Shield was actually a gravitational field shield, which could deflect most attacks, including energy attacks.

However, it had been significantly simplified in order to be installed on the Power Armor.

To activate the Deflection Shield, at least 5 people must be present.

With the activation of the Deflection Shield.

Those Low-level Void creatures could no longer cause much of an impact.

Just like the other Void Minions, they were all stabbed to death by the members of the Tianjian Squad, one halberd strike at a time.

After experiencing more than ten hours of bitter fighting.

This batch of Void creatures was finally slaughtered clean by the 15 people, not a single one left.

But the 15 people did not lower their guard.

They still remembered what the Prophet had said before, that Void creatures are immortal and indestructible.

They would be reborn in the Void and rejoin the battlefield.

Sure enough.

Less than 10 minutes after the Void creatures were wiped out, the batch of Void creatures that had just been completely eliminated surged out from the Universe Gate again.

Starting a brand new battle!
