Chapter 562 Destruction (1/2)
The DarkStar team stationed on Planet Aquamarine had originally thought that it would be completely pointless for the forces on Planet Aquamarine to search for the Mutation Source. However, they had managed to find the Mutation Source in a single day. This truth dumbfounded those in the team.
The new research equipment had only been put into use for a few days, and DarkStar had been kept in the dark. They did not know that Godora had developed a device to locate the Mutation Source but assumed that it was because of luck.
”Black Star is fighting the Mutation Source in the Western Continent,” a member of the team reported. ”From the images shown, the Mutation Source does not have the ability to fight back. Black Star's strength is far superior to that of those on the planet, and it will be impossible for the Mutation Source to win against Black Star.”
”I know,” the captain said in a deep voice. ”The detection equipment must have detected the Mutation Source's radiation reaction. The Mutation Source isn't mature yet, and it is currently weak. Even if it has obtained a body, it may not be a match for Black Star.
”However, it is extremely difficult to kill the Mutation Source. Most attacks are useless against it and will allow it to accumulate energy instead. While Black Star is powerful, he won't be able to kill the Mutation Source.”
While they were surprised at the fact that the Mutation Source was found, the DarkStar team was not anxious. The Mutation Source had a stubborn life force, and it would not be easily destroyed. However, it was best that they report this matter to their higher ups.
Just when the captain was about to contact his superiors, one of his team members gasped. ”Wait, what did Black Star do‽ The Mutation Source seems to be injured!”
”What‽” The captain immediately looked at the screen, only to see Han Xiao injecting the Mutation Source with a needle before seeing the state of the Mutation Source taking a turn for the worse. That attack of his had caused true damage!
The face of the captain turned dark and immediately understood what was going on. No wonder Planet Aquamarine had suddenly started searching for the Mutation Source! It turned out that Black Star had found a way to deal with the Mutation Source!
He immediately realized how serious the situation was.
”Send an emergency report to the headquarters!”
…
A gigantic DarkStar fleet was currently moving in space and nearing Planet Golden Gate.
It was only two days until their assault on Planet Golden Gate, and their forces were now rushing toward Planet Golden Gate. Degulish had placed all of his attention on this matter and handed all other affairs over to the intelligence department to handle. However, right at that moment, the intelligence department rushed into the room with an emergency report. The Head of Intelligence's tone was filled with anxiety, and Degulish's puzzled eyes gradually turned into shock.
”Impossible!” Degulish stood up abruptly with a face of disbelief.
Black Star was currently fighting the Mutation Source and Planet Aquamarine seemed to have the ability to solve the Mutation Disaster at its roots!
The organization that had sold DarkStar the Mutation Source had shown the upper echelons of DarkStar a set of complicated data and ensured that it would take at least a year before the Mutation Source would be dealt with. However, only a few months had passed! How could Godora come up with a solution so quickly‽
The Head of Intelligence had an ugly expression. ”Godora kept the matter a complete secret, and my intelligence network wasn't aware of their research details.”
Bang!
The alloy table was smashed into pieces; Degulish was furious.
He had never expected that the first thing to go wrong with this plan would be the foundation of his entire plan! It was akin to his backyard being on fire!
If Black Star or Godora truly had the means to deal with the Mutation Disaster at its roots, all of DarkStar's plans would be affected! Without Godora's forces being tied down in the calamity planets and the many political restraints that Godora faced internally, the latter part of their plans could not be carried out. This plan that they had spent many years preparing for would have to come to an end.
To think that things would go wrong at this crucial moment!
If it was truly the worst-case scenario, their attack on Planet Golden Gate would be forced to stop, and they would have to alter their plans.
”Just what is…” Degulish grit his teeth and suppressed his rage. ”Tell the team on Planet Aquamarine that I want them to give me a live report of the battlefield!”
Outside the door, Ember passed by coincidentally. Glancing at Degulish, his eyes narrowed for a moment, and a queer look could be seen in his gaze.
…
Bang bang bang!
The Mutation Source did not have the strength to fight back before Han Xiao and was beaten black and blue. The Mutation Source was sent flying all around and was like a human-sized sandbag. Not only was it very durable, it felt extremely good as well. Han Xiao could not even bear to use any long-ranged weapons, and the Mutation Source was truly a premium product in the world of sandbags.
How wonderful it would be if he could give the Mutation Source a few punches when he was bored.
It was a pity that the Mutation Source would definitely have to be killed. Not to mention Godora's firm stance, the Mutation Source was a biological weapon that could control other living beings, and it was a huge threat to many species in the galaxy. The lawful civilization would not allow such a weapon to be in the hands of an outsider.
The scene of Han Xiao beating up the Mutation Source was broadcast to all the players on Planet Aquamarine. All the players had a queer feeling in their hearts. The Main Storyline Boss was currently being furiously beaten up by a familiar NPC. Why did it seem as though Black Star was more like the Boss?
Seeing the Mutation Source being beaten up so badly, some of the players could not help but pity it. Voices of encouragement could be seen on the forums with many joking about it.
”Give it your all! Don't give up!”
”Run! You won't be able to win against the great demon Black Star!”
Swoosh!
Han Xiao chopped down on the Mutation Source's head, but there was no feeling of striking a target. Han Xiao's hand cleaved through the Mutation Source and split it in two. More accurately speaking, the Mutation Source had chosen to split its body in two to avoid Han Xiao's chop.
Following which, the two halves began spitting out a black, gluey substance like a fountain, and that black stuff began swimming away in the muddy water like snakes.
While the Mutation Source's thoughts were still immature, fear was a natural instinct. In its short confrontation with Han Xiao, it had always been on the losing end. Han Xiao's strength made it feel completely helpless, and the Mutation Source did not wish to continue this battle. As such, it split up its body to confuse its opponent, allowing its main body to escape.
The rain provided the Mutation Source with an avenue of escape. With the beasts fighting the mechanical army, the entire battlefield was a complete mess, and it was beneficial to the Mutation Source's escape. Amid the copious black sticky substance, only one part of it was the main body.
”Want to escape? Do you think that's possible?”
Upon saying that, Han Xiao suddenly felt as though he was the antagonist.
The thrusters on his back and feet were activated, and Han Xiao shot toward a black sticky gel that was currently escaping. When they were battling, Phillip had recorded the data of the Mutation Source, and the radar clearly displayed the position of the main body.
The Mutation Source was currently in the shape of a snake and upon sensing that Han Xiao had locked onto it, its body transformed into a water like state, seeping into the soil.
Swoosh!
Han Xiao waved his arm, and two gigantic mechanical arms scooped up the soil, catching the Mutation Source together with it.
The Mutation Source then shot itself toward an eagle and dug into its body.
The eagle shot toward the sky and flew away.
Tuk tuk tuk!
