Chapter 516: Changes?

Furthermore, the number of Void creatures has increased significantly compared to before.

Judging by eye, they have increased by at least two or three times.

Seeing this, Shen's brows furrowed.

If they continue to slaughter these Void creatures at this rate, their numbers will increase to a terrifying level.

As for why the numbers are increasing, Shen is also very clear in his heart.

The massive Universe Gate before them has grown larger again after a dozen or so hours.

That is why the number of Void creatures is increasing.

Now, they must find a way to retreat.

It is just that... space has been distorted, and no one can escape from here.

There is only one path to choose: a fight to the death... no, strictly speaking, there is only the path of being worn down to death.

The person before him is treating his own men like lab rats for amusement!

But... there is simply no other path to choose.

No!

There is still one path!

Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at the Prophet standing in the distance with his back to him.

If he can take this guy out, then the distorted space can return to normal, and he can leave here via the shuttle and bring the news back to Earth!

However... this guy is not so easy to deal with.

He can easily distort space...

In an instant, Shen made his choice.

Kill!

He must kill that guy, even if it costs him his own life!

Only if that guy dies will his team members have a chance to escape from here! Instead of being worn down to death here like this!

At this very moment, those Void creatures that had come back to life and surged in number rushed up again, starting a new round of battle.

The swinging of Power Halberds, the shrieks of Void creatures, and the sounds of objects being sliced apart filled the entire space.

Only Shen did not swing his Power Halberd to slaughter these Void creatures with the others as he had before.

Instead, he retreated to the very center of the formation, protected by the 14 people.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, he began to calibrate the weapon on his Power Armor.

With so many Void creatures, wanting to kill his way to that guy's front is not a simple matter.

If he kills his way over slowly, that guy will be prepared, and the sneak attack will fail.

Therefore, he must kill his way over in an instant to have a chance of the sneak attack succeeding.

And to kill his way over in an instant, he must clear out the majority of the Void creatures.

The best choice is the Thermal Particle Beam Weapon on the Power Armor.

A soldier nearby saw Shen's actions and immediately understood.

"Captain!"

"Don't do that!"

"Although overloading the Heat Flow Particle Beam can exert immense power, the consequence of overloading is that most of the Power Armor's functions will temporarily cease to operate."

"The consequences of that..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Shen.

"Shut up!"

"What you need to do now is survive and bring the news back!"

"I am the Captain; how I do things is none of your concern!"

While speaking, Shen had already finished calibrating the Power Armor.

Then, aiming at the direction where the Prophet was, he fired directly.

Instantly, a white stream of particles shot out, swallowing all the Void creatures in its path and clearing out an open space.

Shen seized this opportunity and lunged toward the Prophet.

However, the Prophet just stood there quietly, waiting for Shen to rush over.

In the blink of an eye, Shen arrived before the Prophet.

Shen held his Power Halberd high and swung it down forcefully, aiming for the Prophet's head.

But seeing this, the Prophet had no intention of dodging at all; he just stood there quietly, letting the Power Halberd strike his body.

Just as the Power Halberd touched the Prophet, the Prophet's entire body actually became illusory, and the Power Halberd passed straight through him, missing its mark.

This scene was truly unexpected.

However, Shen did not freeze up because of this; instead, he pulled back and swung upward at the Prophet.

This time, it also missed.

Not giving Shen a third chance to strike, the Prophet snatched the Power Halberd away; his immense strength was something that even Shen, with his Third Generation God Body, could not resist.

The Power Halberd was snatched away just like that, with ease.

Looking at the Power Halberd in his hand, the Prophet's eyes brightened.

"Truly a good weapon."

"The Void can make use of this!"

After saying this, he threw it backhanded, tossing the Power Halberd straight into the Universe Gate.

The Universe Gate instantly swallowed the Power Halberd.

After finishing all this, the Prophet raised his hand.

Purple Void Energy surged on his hand, forming a sharp blade.

"Although you brought a decent weapon."

"But it is a pity, I do not have the habit of letting enemies go."

After speaking, the Prophet flashed in front of Shen, and the energy blade in his hand fell without hesitation.

Just as the sharp blade was about to pierce Shen's skull, the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in Shen's hand, barely blocking the strike.

"Oh? You have a new weapon? It looks quite good too!"

Shen did not speak, but simply gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly and slashed toward the Prophet.

The Prophet used his old trick again, still wanting to play the same game as before.

However, this time, he miscalculated.

Even though he had become illusory, the Xuanyuan Sword still struck him solidly, causing him damage.

This sudden blow left the Prophet somewhat incredulous.

"You hurt me?"

He looked at the wound on his body, his eyes showing slight surprise.

After this strike succeeded, Shen had no intention of stopping; instead, he charged at the Prophet, and every strike of the wielded Xuanyuan Sword went straight for the Prophet's vitals, all of which landed.

Only...

After these attacks landed, the Prophet did not suffer much damage.

His face was full of regret.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"The weapon is a good weapon, it is just a pity that the person is too weak; if you could become a bit stronger."

"Perhaps you could make me suffer heavy injuries or even die, but right now, I have only suffered minor injuries."

"Therefore, that weapon of yours... is destined to be mine!"

Shen still did not speak, but his gaze became increasingly firm.

At this moment, unknown changes began to occur in his body; these changes were very faint, and no one noticed them.

On the bodies of the 14 members of the Tianjian Squad who were slaughtering Void creatures, unknown changes also appeared.

It was as if something had been awakened.

However, no one noticed.

Soon, Shen and the Prophet were locked in a fierce battle.

But because Shen was not strong enough, after only a dozen or so rounds, he had the energy blade pressed against his throat.

"You are not bad," the Prophet said. "Although a bit weak."

"How about it? Are you interested in defecting to the Void?"

"As long as you defect to the Void, you will gain eternal life and a more powerful body."

"Of course, your squad members can come along too."
