Chapter 597 Behind Enemy Lines Alone (2/2)
”Black Star probably insisted on doing this exchange by making use of Befuli as an example to threaten us,” another Grade B space pirate said.
Sykes nodded heavily.
”What are we going to do now? Are we not going to take revenge for Befuli?” someone suddenly asked from within the crowd.
Sykes face immediately darkened. He naturally did not wish to provoke Black Star again, but he was truly put in a tight spot at the moment. If he said that he did not want to get revenge on Black Star, would it not make him lose his prestige and leadership abilities?
”I have my own plans.” Helpless, Sykes could only give a vague reply and attempt to change the topic.
Right at that moment, the same individual asked again, ”What kind of plan? What exactly will we do?”
You again! Can't you just shut up!
”Is this something that you have the right to ask?” Sykes expression was ugly as he looked in the direction of the voice. He wanted to see which subordinate of his dared talk back to him.
Seeing their boss flying into a rage, all the space pirates made way to reveal the individual who was talking. The gazes of all the pirates in the room were also drawn over to this individual.
Eh… he seems like a member of the Galaxy Human Race, wearing a black windbreaker, and his looks… eh? Why does he look so familiar?
Sykes glared at this individual with doubt in his eyes. The next moment, the doubt turned into shock, and he let out a loud roar.
”Black Star! What are you doing here‽”
All the space pirates in the surroundings jumped away as though they had seen a ghost, and the area around Han Xiao became empty.
The entire hall became silent and Han Xiao looked at Sykes. Stroking his chin, he said slowly, ”You don't need to be anxious. I am here to make a deal with you.”
”What deal?”
”I want you to pay the price of freedom in exchange for…” Han Xiao snickered. ”Your life!”
Buzz! Pa!
Just as he finished his sentence, he equipped the Berserk Ape suit immediately and took out his High Energy Concentrated Particle Cannon. The blast from the cannon broke through from the interior of the spaceship and out into space.
The suction force from the vacuum came like a powerful gust, and the pirates in the spaceship were all sucked out by the frightening suction force and thrown into space. A portion of the weaker Supers froze up immediately with their blood vessels rupturing. The environment of space was fatal to some low-grade Supers.
Only Sykes and a couple of the more powerful pirates were able to stabilize their bodies and resist the suction force. Only those who were at Grade B were able to barely endure the treacherous space climate.
The mechanical suit had its own regulation mechanism, and space did not affect him in the slightest as he floated in space.
Sykes had a face full of fury as his mouth opened like he was roaring. However, the violent gust from air being sucked out of the spaceship completely drowned out his voice.
Without saying another word, Han Xiao sent his fist toward the alloy ground and activated the Power Detonation skill!
Boom!
The shockwave of his punch spread out in all directions with bolts of lightning accompanying it, shattering the alloy floor!
With the shockwave spreading, the destruction of the spaceship hastened, and hole enlarged even further.
Without solid ground beneath their feet, all the pirates apart from Sykes were sucked out. Only Sykes was able to send out a sticky, purplish substance toward the alloy wall to stabilize himself.
This sticky, purplish gel-like substance was Sykes' Esper ability. This sticky gel was extremely poisonous and corrosive. It was also able to solidify in an instant to take the shape of various things. Furthermore, the purplish gel excreted could be stored for a very long time. Sykes could control the corrosiveness of this purplish gel, and this was where his title of 'Purple Snake' came from.
Despite Sykes being an Esper, he had his own armor as well. However, because he was not a Mechanic, the armor could not be compressed into a compressed orb. At this moment, his armor was in his personal storeroom.
While he hated Han Xiao to the core, he knew that the most urgent matter was for him to put on his armor. At the very least, he would be able to move around in space freely with it. He immediately made use of his purplish gel to scale the wall and sprint toward his personal store room.
Hu!
Han Xiao's thrusters were activated, leaving behind two trials of fire as he rapidly approached Sykes.
Right at that moment, Sykes waved his arm, and a wave of purplish gel shot toward him. As it came into contact with the walls of the spaceship, thick purple smoke was released as the alloy walls melted.
This ability is interesting. Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, and his arm transformed to reveal a pipe.
The inside of the spaceship had not become a vacuum yet, and air was sucked into his mechanical suit through the nanoparticles. The air that was sucked in was then channeled to the pipe, and a high-pressure air cannon was fired to scatter the wave of purplish gel.
The corrosive gel splattered everywhere, and the entire place became filled with smoke.
Han Xiao sped up further and caught onto one of Sykes's arms.
Mechanical Force exploded from his entire body, and his thrusters started to shoot flames in the opposite direction. He then grabbed onto Sykes' arm and got into a throwing posture.
Berserk Throw!
…
”Will the flagship please respond! Please respond! What is the current status?”
The ships of the Purple Snake Space Pirates surrounded the flagship in space.
A few seconds ago, they had all lost contact with the flagship and could not get a response no matter how hard they tried.
Just when the ships were about to board the flagship to check what had gone wrong, the exterior armor of the flagship suddenly exploded, leaving a large hole behind. All the junk items from within the flagship were sucked into space, and many of their comrades were included.
Before the other spaceships could react, a large hole was also created at the bottom of the spaceship over a thousand meters away from the main hall. Broken metal bits and a human figure were sent flying out of the hole. That human figure was their boss, Sykes!
Sykes had been sent flying through half the flagship with a single Berserk Throw from Han Xiao!
