Chapter 40: Digestion of the

Just as Ninglu was leaping between the stairs to hunt down the Fulao, Maria and the other two, relying on the strong will cultivated through training, did not lose consciousness, but they were locked in a bitter struggle.

The howling sound echoed, stunning dozens of Fulao Warriors who were nearby or further away but possessed weaker wills.

Yet the remaining Fulao Warriors did not stop; they coldly stepped over the corpses of their companions and charged upward.

In the nomadic culture of the Fulao, the weak have no right to survive; killing the frail among their own kin saves resources.

Maria knew that now was the time to fight for their lives; she did not ask Ninglu for help, as she had once assassinated a Wizard and knew how terrifying they were.

It was wise for Ninglu to prioritize killing them, and for the time being, they could only rely on themselves.

Maria pulled a syringe from her black bodysuit and resolutely injected it into her body.

She immediately felt surging power within her; she, who was usually calm, had bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in her azure eyes.

Maria leaped into the air, slashed with her curved blade, and launched an attack using the 16th strike of the "Osber-Waya".

She broke through her limits and completed ten stabs in an instant.

Maria grabbed a dagger that fell in front of her and charged into the Xenos.

Her figure flickered, and as she swung her hands, she actually carved a bloody path through the Xenos.

Dementieva, whose stamina was exhausted, also gritted her teeth and injected another vial of medicine.

Together with Tesvisna, she launched a frenzied attack on the Xenos.

The beams of the Jiguangchangqiang flickered, and Energy Cells kept hitting the floor; it was only when Tesvisna reached for her last magazine that she realized the Xenos were far more ferocious than she had previously imagined.

They had been ruthlessly slaughtered by Ninglu before only because the giant was too powerful.

Tesvisna even discovered that Maria's speed had slowed down, and she was becoming surrounded by the Xenos.

Just as she was in despair, she suddenly heard a roar; her body swayed, and the vibrating ultrasonic waves rattled her brain; she shed tears of blood, but though temporarily blinded, she felt a sense of relief.

At the moment before the three fell into a life-or-death crisis, Ninglu killed the Fulao Wizard squad and leaped down.

His "Feral Howl" vibrated in the minds of the Fulao, instantly causing dozens of them to fall into a coma; what terrified them even more was that the appearance of the giant meant a horrifying fact—the elite hundred Aether Masters were all wiped out.

The will of the Fulao Warriors was completely destroyed, and they fled in terror in all directions.

They now had only one thought: to escape this hell as quickly as possible; even wandering on a Jielueting would be better than staying here.

As they fled, the deserters swung their Fulao Boliren at their own kin just to run faster, scattering the warriors who were surging forward.

The first wave of Fulao stragglers had just rushed to the deck, preparing to board a streamlined Jielueting, when dense Laser beams suddenly shot toward them.

The Fulao Warriors, riddled with holes, fell into a pool of blood.

The Wosuotuniya Fourth Regiment led by Szczesny landed on the Fulao Battlecruiser via Assault Boats.

Despite previous training, the Fourth Regiment still encountered trouble during their first space battle.

In one Assault Boat, an Iron Warrior did not follow standard operating procedures, and his body detached from the restraint rack.

Having lost control of his body, he slammed into the security door of the cockpit; unfortunately, he was no ordinary person, but an Iron Warrior who had undergone extensive Physical Enhancement.

He smashed through the security door and crashed into the pilot, ultimately causing the Assault Boat to lose control and collide with an asteroid.

After boarding the enemy ship, Szczesny discovered he had lost a platoon.

It took him longer than expected to get the Fourth Regiment to reform their ranks.

Filled with anger, Szczesny rushed out from the deck and collided head-on with a squad of Fulao Warriors retreating from the stairs.

He used a Chainsword, which was more conducive to a "Sailor" exerting combat power, and swung it, hacking into the head of a Xenos.

At the same time, he extended his left arm and grabbed a dagger thrust by another Xenos.

The Fulao Warrior felt as if his wrist were being clamped by iron pliers; the strength of the human opposite him far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

The "Sailor" gave a forceful twist, and the superior strength gained from "Physical Enhancement" allowed him to snap the Fulao's arm.

Szczesny then followed up with a slash, severing the Xenos' head.

Szczesny led his men to rout the defeated Xenos and arrived before Ninglu, saying with some shame.

"My Lord, I am late."

"Know shame and then be brave."

"You lead the team to clear the Xenos deck by deck."

Ninglu did not reprimand him, and after excusing him from the salute, he issued the order.

"As you command, my Lord."

Szczesny immediately led his men and slaughtered their way onto the deck.

Ninglu strode upward, and as he passed by Maria and the other two, who were exhausted, he spoke.

"You performed well; the mission is complete, rest and stand by!"

"As you command, my King!"

The three stood straight and said respectfully; witnessing Ninglu's superhuman combat power, they could not help but feel awe.

A moment later, Ninglu arrived at the end of the stairs and swung his Heavy Halberd, smashing the purple metal door that blocked his path.

He rushed into the Bridge and immediately saw a Fulao holding a Crystal Staff, floating in mid-air.

He spoke in broken Wosuotuniya Low Gothic.

"I am the... Governor... of this ship... human... state... your demands..."

"I am willing... to leave... this system... and am also willing... to give..."

A mocking smile hung on the corner of Ninglu's mouth. Give? I want it all!

He took a deep breath and let out a roar.

The Bridge shook, several Fulao were stunned, and the Fulao Zongdu also swayed.

He immediately steadied his body and held the Crystal Staff high: "Die!"

The place where Ninglu stood, along with a dozen meters around him, was covered in purple psychic flames.

Several high-ranking Fulao officers wailed in agony within the flames, but the Governor did not care at all; as long as he could kill the powerful enemy, it was worth it.

Fulao Zongdu was just about to control his body's descent when he suddenly felt a sense of heart palpitations.

He secretly thought it was bad, but it was already too late; the armor, burned pitch-black, had already appeared before him.

Fulao Zongdu hurriedly condensed his psychic energy, and his telekinetic power erupted with a bang.

With a loud bang, Fulao Zongdu was blasted away; he spat out a mouthful of blood, but felt slightly relieved, as his Niandong Huzhun had blocked the blow.

However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

"No..."

Fulao Zongdu let out a desperate cry as his right leg was grabbed by Ninglu's left hand.

Ninglu swung Fulao Zongdu around and slammed him heavily into the ground.

Along with the loud noise, he once again felt as if something inside his body was dissolving and merging with his own spirit.

【The Potion is fully digested; I am a true "Barbarian" now!】

After landing, Ninglu slaughtered all the Fulao on the Bridge, then pulled a long-range communicator out from the armor.

"Luoxiji, the Xenos warship has been seized by me; you and Woyiqiehe come over immediately."

Ninglu did not wait where he was; he flew forward, killing every Fulao he saw.

Only after receiving Luoxiji's communication did he return to the Bridge again.

After arriving in front of the Tech-Priest, he spoke.

"I want to cooperate with the Adeptus Mechanicus to develop this Xenos warship."
