Chapter 371: Who Dares to Kill Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Black Star Troopers around Blue 6 were already nursing a ball of fire. If not for the fact that they had not received the orders, they would have cleansed this group of dirty aliens a long time ago.

Now that Blue 6 had finally given his order, how could they be patient anymore? They had in their left hands Gaussian spiral rifles (new weapon), and in their right hands were super fluctuation blades (new weapon). With three people per unit, they charged into the fray.

There were at least ten thousand alien soldiers surrounding them. The ten plus group was heavily surrounded and their aggressors obviously did not expect a retaliation, especially the leading major level aliens. They were practically climbing over each other to capture these human cosmic adapters. It was then that they realized that they were not facing a group of sheep but a group of human-shaped tanks!

Three Black Star Troopers, wearing second generation Space Armors, were already shooting their Gaussian spiral rifles at the outer layer of the alien units before they got near. In a matter of seconds, innumerable electromagnetic shields appeared, but in less than 5 seconds, these electromagnetic shields shattered and blood and guts started to fly. How would normal physical bodies and spacesuits fare against attacks from Gaussian weapons? Like paper!

"What kind of ammo is this? Are they poison? Why are they so powerful that even electromagnetic shields cannot stop them?"

The major aliens in the alien unit started yelling. They could not believe their eyes. Gaussian weapons were the main weapon of all level 2 space civilizations, and their weakness would be level 2 space civilizations’ electromagnetic shields that would be perfect to defend against this series of weapons. They balanced each other out and would never end up in a situation like what they were seeing now.

However, the reality was right before them. Their electromagnetic shields were practically paper; they were shattered easily by these weird-looking Gaussian weapons. Humanity was practically harvesting their lives.

"That’s a spiral-type Gaussian weapon! It’s a type of weapon used by peak level 2 space civilizations and early level 3 space civilizations! Foot soldiers, retreat. Send out the siege engines! Use the larger electromagnetic shields to stop them!"

There were capable leaders among the alien units as well. They soon noticed the difference with the Black Star Troopers’ rifles; they were not something a normal level 2 space civilization would possess. It was a type of weapon purposely designed to break electromagnetic shields. Small and individual electromagnetic shields would be punctured easily, like a balloon facing a sharp tack.

Among the alien troops, there were some small siege engines. There were various forms to them, but each was six meters tall and had mid-sized Gaussian weapons, like small Gaussian cannons. Other than that, due to their ability to recharge, the strength of their electromagnetic shields was also greater than normal. Under the Black Star Troopers’ scary Gaussian weapon assault, these siege engines were pushed to the forefront to act as a blockade.

However, the Black Star Troopers were actually most familiar with close quarters combat. The long range rifles to deal with electromagnetic shield was practically harassment. When the troopers saw their enemies shove the siege engines to the frontline, they smirked coldly. They dashed towards the siege engines with unimaginable speed. The speed, agility, and dexterity increase provided by the second generation Space Armor was greater than the first generation. As Bo Li called it, the compatibility between Homo Evolutis and Space Armor had increased.

This kind of speed was not something normal lifeforms could possess, but in just the blink of an eye, the three-man Black Star Trooper units had already reached the front of the siege engines. With a dance of the blades in their hands, the siege engines were dismantled. This type of close-range weapon was much more convenient than the earlier sawblade. In comparison, it was not that the sawblade was powerful before a thick layer of electromagnetic shield, but cutting through them still required a great deal of energy. However, the new super fluctuation blades could cut through electromagnetic shields like butter using the wave fluctuations to break down the magnetic field of the electromagnetic shields.

Be it the super fluctuation blade, the Gaussian spiral rifle, or the plasma shield prototype installed in the second generation Space Armor, they were all technologies limited to space civilizations moving from level 2 to level 3. The Hope having access to them was all thanks to Bo Li, the Whisperer’s contribution.

At that moment, the few units of Black Star Troopers had already cut down several siege engines. The one leading was none other than the champion of the various competitions among the Black Star Troopers, Ebon, the Homo Evolutis that could almost rival Yao Yuan in combat. With a battle cry, he charged at the front of the team, and behind him were Liu Bai and Wa Luo. Both of them smiled helplessly as they tried to keep up with Ebon. When they finally did, Ebon was already rushing headfirst towards a weird-looking siege engine that stood with four appendages touching the ground. It was 6 meters tall and at least 10 meters wide. It was much larger than a normal tank, but with just a flash of Ebon’s blade, the electromagnetic shield sparked and shattered. With another dash by Ebon, the siege engine was spliced into pieces. The explosion harmed everything within a 10 meters radius and about one hundred alien soldiers were sent flying by the blast.

This kind of situation kept happening among the alien troops. The small group of just more than 10 Black Star Troopers was unstoppable. Their numbers might’ve been small, but they were going for a landslide victory.

"Fire! Fire the long-range weapons! Do not engage them in close quarters combat!"

Right then, a major among the aliens roared. He ordered continuously for the siege engines to fire at the Black Star Troopers, Blue 6, and Defense Unit soldiers. However, before his order could be carried out, more voices yelled back, "Do not fire! Those are cosmic adapters! More than 10 cosmic adapters! Who dares to open fire! We are in a Shelter, aren’t you afraid of being wiped out? None of you are allowed to fire! Swarm them, use light grade weapons and capture devices, use your numbers advantage to swarm them!"

The contradicting orders and the savage assault by the Black Star Troopers sowed chaos among the alien troops. However, most importantly, these humans dared to openly go on a murder spree in a Shelter? Their weapons seemed at most to be at the peak of level 2 space civilization, but they dared to create havoc at a level 3 Shelter? Had this civilization lost its mind? Or was this human race a branch of the Pa Race?

Taking this in, this group of aliens that provoked and threatened humanity, especially the leading space merchant leader, had their eyelids twitching... if they had the organ eyelid that is.

Everything had gone awry. Humanity had not compromised and allowed them to inspect the Hope, nor did they escape the Shelter with their tail between their legs. They did not even send out a diplomatic unit to seek aid from the owner of the Shelter like a normal space civilization would. Instead, they started to slaughter. It would be over for the Hope soon, but their plan was over as well. Humanity would be judged by level 3 space civilizations and then the fact that they had plenty of cosmic adapters would be exposed.

However, most importantly, these Black Star Troopers did not give the soldiers any chance to retreat. They dashed into the army and started cutting. Even if these soldiers were capable enough to harm them, they wouldn’t because these were cosmic adapters. If they weren’t at such a public space, they would perhaps attack, but with so many other races watching, harming one meant that other races would wipe out your entire race.

This kind of one-sided slaughter was deeply aggrieving. Furthermore, the soldiers being mowed down were not retards but the elite soldiers of these races. They were the most intelligent elite soldiers who possessed the greatest amount of soul. The death of one would make the whole race mourn for a long time, but here they had lost so many. Furthermore, this was a public space, so soul could not be recycled. This time they had really lost a lot.

Just as the slaughter continued and the aliens were crying like crazy, a UFO of about several hundred meters suddenly zipped in from afar. The UFO had a streamline shape and its origin was definitely the Shelter. There was a symbol on the UFO’s surface... and it was the symbol that represented the owner of this level 3 Shelter.

While the Black Star Troopers continued their slaughter, about 10 light pillar dropped from the UFO. The giant light pillars slammed into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, more than several hundred alien soldiers were vaporized and there were huge metallic craters in the ground. However, none of the Black Star Troopers were harmed. The craters were at least several meters away from the nearest trooper.

"Halt!"

Then a processed voice appeared in the communicators of everyone there. After that, several hundred light orbs ejected from the UFO. These were single-use floating devices. From their appearance, this group of aliens had two legs and two hands, but it was unknown whether they were mammals or not.

These light orbs floated in the air above the area surrounded by the light pillars. Other than a few orbs that landed on the ground, the rest of them trained their weapons at the ground from the air.

"I said halt! Can you not understand language? Are you bunch of low grade civilizations trying to provoke a level 3 space..."

One of the light orbs started yelling as he dropped before Blue 6. However, the next scene shocked even the Black Star Troopers. Blue 6 directly kicked this level 3 space civilization’s representative from his floating device. Then he said through the communicator, "Something that is not even a cosmic adapter dares to order me around?

"If you dare, then order your soldiers in the siege engine to fire down on us. I do want to see how powerful your level 3 space civilization is to dare to kill more than 10 cosmic adapters at once. This is a public place with many civilizations watching... Aren’t you afraid of being wiped out by level 4 or 5 space civilizations?

"I am standing right here, who dares to kill me?"
