Chapter 295: All‑Protagonist Squad

The Black Stone Obelisk stood upright and towering over the glass ground.

The once-intact Obelisk now bore a few scars, and the cold wind lifted dust from it.

Beneath these towering Obelisks, the Dead Spirits all halted in place, their previously rigid, upright bodies sagging weakly.

The massive Gauss Rifles they held had completely lost their luster, discarded on the ground like scrap metal.

The floating Obelisk crashed straight to the ground, and two of them, being too close, collided with each other.

Afterwards, if any Nobility or technician reestablished the connection, the group of Dead Spirits could be awakened.

But for now, Xisi has temporarily solved the Dead Spirits problem.

And in this environment, the two human teams just stared at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

The leaders on both sides wore expressions that were spectacular to the extreme.

"Indeed, it's Taitus..."

Xisi looked at the face before him that was identical to the one in the story, as well as the exaggerated combat power just displayed.

He was completely certain of the opponent's identity.

And Taitus stared blankly at Xisi, not knowing what fear was, his face the kind that would cut anyone twice at a glance.

He also showed extreme astonishment toward Xisi.

"Chief Saint?"

Taitus's eyes revealed obvious doubt.

If it weren't for Sakan, Danika and other human remnants trailing behind Xisi.

Taitus had previously watched Xisi's entire battle process, and could not pretend about his attitude toward protecting humanity.

Taitus even began to suspect whether the Dead Spirits' Black Stone Array had failed; otherwise, how could Chaos power have spilled into the Spirit-Driving Dead Zone!

Xisi, after confirming that Taitus was before him, glanced at Sakan behind him, and a thought that he couldn't suppress suddenly sprang to mind.

"Why am I..."

"... insist on bringing so many people?"

"Can't I just bring these two things?"

"What could be a stronger amplification than a protagonist aura?!"

The more Xisi thought, the brighter his eyes grew; he wanted to form an all-'Protagonist' squad.

Anyway, these two were solo fighters against Titans, even the main opponents of warships.

If he added a Hundredfold Amplification, and if there were a Yunxuji, Xisi would dare to take these two and directly form an 'Anti-Ship' special assault team!

"Taitus... Company Commander."

Xisi was the first to break the silence, glancing at the insignia on Taitus and realizing that Taitus had not only returned as an Extreme Warrior but also resumed the role of Company Commander.

Taitus also confirmed that the person before him looked exactly like the Chief Saint statue, and could still wield divine power while bearing the Black Stone Array.

He basically acknowledged Xisi's status as Chief Saint.

At this moment Xisi spoke, and Taitus set aside his resolve, his expression showing a hint of respect.

Standing upright, he bowed respectfully toward Xisi:

"Chief Saint Sir!"

Although not as deferential as when dealing with Kaerjia, after all Taitus's knowledge of Xisi came mainly from the National Church's mythic legends.

But being able to make Taitus show respect upon meeting still left the few Extreme Warriors behind him staring in awe.

As for those Extreme Warriors, Xisi gave them a slight nod.

Unlike the hundreds of thousands of Extreme Warriors who went to Terra thirty thousand years ago, these now survive on the long‑fallen Alert Star, and have even managed to stay with Taitus all the way.

The combat power of these Extreme Warriors was indeed formidable.

They fully deserved a favorable look from Xisi.

These Extreme Warriors behaved just like Taitus emotionally: they respected Xisi yet constantly felt uneasy.

After all, as the supreme leader of the Huaiyaner Legion, the two massive armies—one materialist, one idealist—were inherently at odds.

Kiriman, moreover, repeatedly suffered a heavy beating from the Divine Emperor because of Xisi.

This caused the Extreme Warriors to naturally develop a sense of alienation toward Xisi.

However, they dared not show it too overtly, aside from Xisi indeed being humanity's Chief Saint, having made many contributions that could be called miraculous.

If the Huaiyaner Legion learned this, they'd realize that they actually dared not prostrate themselves before Xisi, and were somewhat distant.

The Huaiyaner Legion would probably have to temporarily play the rebel side again, and have a proper talk with the Extreme Warriors!

"Sir, I didn't expect you to be here."

Taitus let out a light cough, breaking the somewhat stagnant atmosphere, and respectfully addressed Xisi again.

Xisi then carefully admired the 1:1 'real-life model' Taitus and got straight to the point:

"It's fine to be surprised; you will have plenty of time later to digest this situation."

Taitus: "???"

He looked at Xisi in confusion, wondering what 'plenty of time later' meant.

After Xisi finished speaking, regardless of whether the Extreme Warriors accepted it, he smiled and said:

"You have been incorporated."

Taitus stood speechless, for the Empire had never incorporated Astats, especially those of Company Commander rank; there was only 'union' talk.

But now the one saying this was Chief Saint Xisi, a being the Divine Emperor could be pleased to hang Kiriman up for a big ear‑slap for Xisi's sake.

The Empire has no rule for incorporating Astats?

Never mind, the Emperor will personally step in and help Kiriman revise the canon.

Now that Taitus is an Extreme Warrior Company Commander, he certainly understands the weight of Xisi's words.

So even though the other few Extreme Warriors behind him were full of resistance in their eyes, Tai Tusi was still very savvy, straightening up again facing Xisi, pounding his chest, and saluting Xisi.

"Yes, sir!"

After recruiting Tai Tusi, Xisi immediately turned and looked at Da Ni Ka and the others:

"Escort these refugees back to the shelter."

"For the later combat, I just need to bring these two things."

Two things?

Da Ni Ka froze, Sa Kan and Tai Tusi also froze a moment, then imperceptibly glanced at Xisi first, then looked at each other.

Although Sa Kan's combat power is theoretically a bit lower than Tai Tusi's.

But Sa Kan had already followed Xisi to receive the first round of Hundredfold Amplification, and his combat power had been infinitely close to Tai Tusi's at this time.

The two now exchanged a faint glance, and both almost immediately understood each other's strength.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable feeling of finally finding their kind......

Afterward, neither of them showed any reaction to the way Xisi was addressed.

Soon, after the remnants brought by Da Ni Ka and Tai Tusi regrouped, they rescued the refugees and brought them to the shelter.

Under the Black Stone Formation, only Xisi, Sa Kan, and Tai Tusi remained.

Also left behind were the weapons and ammunition that Da Ni Ka and the others had left.

The armed remnants on both sides, together numbering over a thousand, might be somewhat lacking, but just to guarantee Sa Kan and Tai Tusi, the weapons and ammunition instantly became sufficient.

Afterward, Xisi led the two to closely examine these huge Black Stone Obelisks; when Xisi reached out his hand and walked around the obelisk twice.

Under the doubtful gaze of Sa Kan and Tai Tusi, Xisi suddenly stopped.

Then he stared blankly at the obelisk, suddenly recalling a question.

"This Black Stone Obelisk......"

"How do we use it?"
