Chapter 847 Cleansed
Michael spent the next few minutes teleporting around the outer sections of the spaceship, killing a bunch of Dark Heavens members and bringing the crew to their families.
Most crew members were either at the 3rd Tier or already Higher Lifeforms. They might not be very powerful since none of them focused on combat, but they were strong enough to stall everyone for a moment. Michael shared the contact information of his crystal watch with them to call him if something happened. He would use Cosmic Stride and be there at once.
Fortunately, that wasn't required until the last crew and Dark Heavens members were in the spaceships' commando center.
He teleported to the command center, and his Cursed Seals and Serpent Seals activated to the fullest. The Heavenly Beast Physique and Foundation Break techniques were also activated, elevating his physical prowess to another level.
Michael appeared next to the strongest living source of energy, his hands transformed into massive claws. A thick layer of True Extraction and Qi coated his claws, augmenting them enough to pierce the Tier-5 Dark Heavens member. Since there was only one Tier-5 powerhouse in the spaceship, Michael figured it was the small group's leader. That came to his advantage since he'd rather avoid fighting a Tier-6 powerhouse in space with more than a hundred innocent civilians nearby.
Michael wouldn't be able to hold back against a Tier-6 powerhouse. The spaceship would break, and the innocent would die. That wasn't what he wanted.
Fortunately, the Tier-5 Dark Heavens member was in a heated discussion with one of the crew members. All Michael could see was the crew member's missing arm and that he protected some buttons with his body – and, therefore, his life as well. Michael acted quickly, using the opening to drill his right claw deep into the Tier-5 powerhouse's side while his left shot upward, headed for the Dark Heavens member's face.
Before his left claw could crush into his face and kill the Dark Heavens member on the spot, Michael noticed a heavy weight crashing down on his left arm.
'Gravity? No. He is holding my arm. Well, he's trying to,' The corner of Michael's lips curled upward. Spirit Eyes unraveled the Dark Heavens Member's secret. His Soultrait allowed him to fuse his mental power and origin energy to create 'invisible' hands. A pair of such hands grasped Michael's left claw to restrain him. To the Dark Heavens member's misfortune, Michael's claws were coated in a layer of True Extraction. To grab his claw, the invisible hands had to touch True Extraction, which triggered immediately, draining the power within the invisible hands rapidly.
The Dark Heavens member cursed. He coughed up blood and his eyes widened in terror when he looked down his body, only to realize that Michael's right claw managed to pierce through his Toga Artifact.
Michael spread True Extraction further in both his claw hands. A massive amount of True Extraction flooded the powerhouse through Michael's right claw while the invisible hands destabilized and dispersed. Michael lost the necessary momentum in his left arm to kill the Dark Heavens member instantaneously, but he could still release the Qi and True Extraction coating his left claw. A goldish-silver beam shot out of his left claw.
The Tier-5 powerhouse tilted his head until it hurt, which was necessary to avoid the Extraction Qi beam. The beam barely missed puncturing his neck.
Unfortunately, Michael never focused on the beam. He never thought the beam would be enough to kill the Tier-5 powerhouse. Instead, he focused on his right claw, twisted it in the man's side, grasped something tightly, and tore it out when he ripped his claw out of the target.
The Tier-5 powerhouse coughed up more blood, and a horrifying scream escaped his lips.
Michael wasn't sure what he tore out of the man, but it was important. He didn't have the luxury to look at the glibbery mass of the thing he'd ripped out of the Tier-5 powerhouse's. Michael sensed something behind him and erupted a wind shield alongside an earthen wall. The wind shield cracked instantaneously, but the earthen wall resisted a little longer. Nonetheless, the incoming wave of assaults managed to pierce the earthen wall.
Michael could have used Cosmic Stride to evade the attacks, but upon spinning around, he concluded that some of the incoming projectiles were explosive. If he evaded them, they might damage the commando center. Michael didn't know enough about the commando center to know what would happen if certain mechanisms in the spaceship were destroyed. He'd much rather stop the attacks with his body than rely on hope to protect the crew mates and their families.
The attacks impacted heavily. Some managed to pierce through his skin, shredding a portion of his arms and chest into pieces. The destructive power of the Dark Heavens member's attacks was impressive, but River of Vigor was much more impressive. Michael had accumulated some healing serum. It was enough to tend to such minor injuries hundreds of times.
"The Nest Leader inflicted more damage," Michael murmured, "But I guess that makes sense. She is crazy and too powerful for her own good."
Once he caught all projectiles with his body, Michael used Cosmic Stride to materialize next to the furthest Dark Heavens member. He punctured his neck as one of the World Serpent's fangs shot out of his knuckles. Michael was only slightly surprised since he didn't try to manifest the serpent fangs, but he decided to make use of it and manifest Aethyr around his claws and the serpent fang as well. His claws extended, and the fang looked even sharper than before.
Michael flung a Qi Sword and accelerated through a burst of wind-attributed energy at the Dark Heavens members standing around the one he'd punctured. They collapsed to the ground, their chests impaled by silver-glowing swords.
Michael's eyes glowed vibrantly, and he used several charges of Spiritual Domination on the residual Dark Heavens members, which were only six unharmed Tier-3 and Tier-4 Awakened, and killed them once their brains felt like someone mashed it from being utterly dominated and crushed.
The Tier-5 powerhouse was the last remaining member of his team. His lifeforce was drained as he continued bleeding from the massive gap in his side. He looked pitifully as he winced in a puddle of his blood.
However, the last Dark Heavens member was not yet done. He might get killed soon, but their plan didn't fail just yet.
His invisible hand emerged next to him. It shot toward the crew member and flung him through the air with a surge of power born through desperation. A few buttons, which didn't say anything to Michael, appeared now that the crew member didn't cover them anymore. The invisible hand was about to press one of them when Michael appeared before the console of buttons and levers. He unleashed True Extraction around his claws and amplified its efficiency with several Enhancement layers.
His claw pierced through the invisible hand before it could press anything, dissolving the invisible hand instantly.
A moment later, Michael teleported back to the dying Tier-5 powerhouse. His claw shot down, piercing his skull with Mind Reader unleashed to the fullest.
"Show me!" He growled, unaware that the influence of the Wolf Curse reached and affected him.
