Naturally, it was Han Te.
Speaking of which, he was the one who felt the greatest gap in Li Yao's team.
It was not because there was anything wrong with his performance during his journey in space. As a matter of fact, having grasped the essence of Boss Bai's fire control after only a few years, becoming one of the best fire control officers in the Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs, and winning the favor of countless charming big sisters, Han Te's experience was almost enough to be written into a soul-stirring novel.
It was a shame that comparisons were odious.
Even if he was not compared to the monstrous "Grandpa Yao" and only compared to Li Jialing, his greatest competitor, the gap between the two of them was still too huge.
When they first met, Han Te was a young man on the Land of Sins, and Li Jialing was an experiment subject on "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky". The gap between the two of them was visible to the naked eye. It seemed that they could surpass each other with one or two fortuitous encounters.
As for fortuitous encounters, Han Te was quite confident in himself. What a joke. Even the legendary "Grandpa Yao" had been found by him. Shouldn't he have acquired countless fortuitous encounters and reached the peak of his life easily as the greatest winner in the Pangu universe?
Who could've thought that it was not him but Li Jialing who had the real fortuitous encounters? Or rather, his luck had been stolen by the guy the moment he met Li Jialing. The goddamn Li Jialing had turned into "Wuying Ling" and become the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings!
The gap between Han Te and the guy was even greater than the gap between a flagellum and a boa. How could the young man from the Land of Sins, who was full of ambitions, feel?
Even if he became one of the top three super fire control officers in the entire Pangu universe, he would still be far from the "emperor", wouldn't he?
After holding back his fury in the space expedition, he could finally enjoy himself in his hometown and play the role of a savior in front of the elders in his hometown. That would be …
Han Te thought delightedly.
Only to discover that the atmosphere was rather weird.
That's right. Regardless of whether it was the elders of his hometown or the bandits of the Bloody Plains, they were all silent. It was as if they had fallen into great shock and fear.
However, this shock and fear did not seem to be caused by him. Everyone's gaze went past his head and straight to the sky.
A deafening roar came from the sky again. It was as if a mountain made of steel and iron was crashing down.
"No way, Mr. A Boxing Champion. Didn't you say you'd let me show off for five minutes before you descend from the sky? How can you do this!"
Han Te was dumbfounded at first. Then, he was filled with grief and indignation as he waved his fists at the sky.
In the sky, under the protection of many assault warships on the orbit, a square iron giant was rushing close in red brilliance.
At first glance, it looked like an upgraded version of the 'Great Iron City' that had suppressed the entire Bloody Plains in the past. It was almost a hundred meters tall, surrounded by countless tracks and rivets, and supported by countless black, red, and aggressive cannons. Airwaves were surging, electric arcs were dancing, and balls of lightning were spluttering crazily.
When it was still a thousand meters high in the sky, its pressure had almost frozen the air in the hundred square kilometers nearby. Everybody's hair was standing up, their eyes were dry, their fingers were numb, and their nails were cracking.
BOOM!
The upgraded Great Iron City landed heavily, raising airwaves hundreds of meters high. Han Te and countless bandits were drowned in the dust. It was a hundred times more intimidating than when Han Te landed a moment ago.
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
With earsplitting mechanical noises, the upgraded Great Iron City stood up like a gargantuan iron beast. Every cannon was emitting scorching brilliance, staring at the tough bandits around like countless crimson eyes.
It was Great Iron City version 2.0, the brand-new body that A Boxing Champion had crafted specifically to suppress the operations of the Martial Meritocrats Sector.
With his Cultivation, and with the help of the Imperium, the Federation, and the Holy League, he did not have to craft such a crude and enormous shell.
However, considering that the brutal reputation of 'A Boxing Champion Lei Zonglie' in the past would be of great help in suppressing the bandits and restoring the order, he decided to show up in the Land of Sins with such an intimidating appearance.
"Does anyone else remember who I am?"
A thunderous voice echoed deep inside the Great Iron Plants. Like a flood breaking a dam, it congregated into dirty tides that crushed the eardrums and the hearts of all the bandits.
As it turned out —
Even though all the bandits were overwhelmed by hunger and brutality, they would not forget the toughness and brutality of 'A Boxing Champion Lei Zonglie'.
It was especially so when A Boxing Champion charged at 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' with Great Iron City. It was like a soldering iron of a thousand degrees that was deeply etched into the brains of all the bandits and became an everlasting memory.
"It's — it's A Boxing Champion!"
"It's A Boxing Champion. He — he's not dead yet. He's back!"
"A Boxing Champion is back. A Boxing Champion is back with a large batch of starships. Where — where did he come from exactly?"
"How is it possible? Years ago, he went against the 'angels' and blew down the City in the Sky, which infuriated the angels and led to the 'second apocalypse'. How can he be back? How can he be back? Have — Have all the angels been killed by him? "
"He — he — he is ten times more intimidating than before. He is almost as strong as a god. I'm afraid that he can punch a Crystal Suit to death, can't he? Nobody can resist him. A Boxing Champion. A Boxing Champion! "
For a moment, all the bandits were drained of all the strength between their veins and their bones by A Boxing Champion's overwhelming aura. There was no telling who took the lead, but they all fell to their knees and worshipped A Boxing Champion, shivering.
He had both the strength to annihilate them effortlessly and the food that was enough for them to survive. Who dared to resist such a Fist King?
In a moment, the same name was being chanted everywhere in the dozens of square kilometers around the Village of Peace.
"A Boxing Champion!"
"A Boxing Champion!"
"A Boxing Champion!"
Among them, there was only a tiny bit of discordant noise.
"Am … Are you kidding me? This was not the plan … I haven't shown up yet. I even went through all the trouble to prepare a speech about my glamorous return … I am supposed to be the hero of the operation, alright? How did I become A Boxing Champion for no reason? Hey, hey, hey. Did anyone hear me? Dear folks from my hometown? I am Han Te. I am the Cannon King from Star Ocean. I … I … "
Han Te stared at A Boxing Champion, feeling like crying.
Above Great Iron City, on what seemed to be A Boxing Champion's shoulder, a cover was opened, and a young girl with bright eyes crawled out.
"Dad!"
Holding A Boxing Champion's shoulder, the Coloured Glaze was already crying. She waved at the Village of Peace hard. "Dad, we're back. We're back with hope!"
…
Half a day later, under the pressure of A Boxing Champion and the attraction of food, the hundred square kilometers around the Village of Peace were basically in order again.
Countless tents were placed in a row. Tremendous battle puppets were shuttling back and forth among the tents under the control of A Boxing Champion, watching over the bandits who had just quieted down.
The camp was both a 'refugee camp' and a 'captive camp', exactly like the identity of the bandits.
On the question of how to clean up the mess in the Martial Meritocrats Sector and the Land of Sins, everybody, including Han Te, the Coloured Glaze, and A Boxing Champion, had different opinions.
The simplest solution was to kill all the bandits who had blood on their hands. Of course, it was very easy.
But most of the bandits were not natural-born murderers. They might have been innocent villagers yesterday, but now that they were involved in the swirl of destruction and death, they lost control of themselves and gradually lost their mind.
If they had to kill anyone who had blood on their hands, no more than one tenth of the survivors in the entire Land of Sins would be qualified to survive.
Even A Boxing Champion himself had blood on his hands when he struggled to survive in the Land of Sins in the past. How should the grudge be settled?
Therefore, after much discussion, everybody unanimously decided that what they were going to bring to the Land of Sins was hope instead of slaughter. They were going to restore the peace and prosperity of the Martial Meritocrats Sector in the past to the Land of Sins instead of fighting for an empty, desolate land.
All the bandits would be treated as' captives' at first. While they were forced to work, they would be interrogated and screened carefully. The most heinous, inhumane villains would naturally be punished severely, but the rest of them would be given a chance to survive.
Only such a relatively lenient policy could attract most of the bandits in the Land of Sins to surrender obediently without wasting too many precious troops. After all, the Imperium of True Human Beings was still in a state where hundreds of Sectors were waiting to be restored. It was truly unable to spare more troops to deal with the chaos in the Land of Sins.
On the last wall of the Village of Peace, Gu Zhengyang looked at the world in front of his eyes that had changed colors. From the dense tents and the dutiful crowds, to the crystal warships that were suspending in midair and dropping all kinds of assets, to the automatic shuttles and battle puppets that were cruising in the hundreds of square kilometers nearby, to his daughter who was lying next to him obediently and telling the stories of their adventures in the sea of stars in high spirits, he could not help but feel that he was weeping with mixed feelings.
"… Right when Grandpa Yao was at his wit's end and could only watch the two big bad guys named 'Fuxi' and 'Lu Qingchen' swaggering, Mr. A Boxing Champion finally arrived!"
Bulging her eyes, the Coloured Glaze waved her fists exaggeratedly. "When Grandpa Yao saw Mr. A Boxing Champion, he cried in joy and shouted, 'A Boxing Champion, help me!' Mr. A Boxing Champion did not hesitate at all. He punched 'Fuxi' twice, blowing up 'Fuxi' and 'Lu Qingchen' with one punch. Just like that, he saved the capital and all of us.
"Right now, the entire Imperium is gradually calming down. Normal order has been restored in one Sector after another and returned to the reign of His Majesty. His Majesty, on the other hand, is grateful for Mr. A Boxing Champion's extraordinary contributions in the battle to protect the capital. He has also pardoned all the sins that the Martial Meritocrats natives shouldered and granted Mr. A Boxing Champion astronomical resources to eliminate the radiation pollution in the Land of Sins and rebuild our home.
