The death energy wreaked havoc on the fleet, corroding and penetrating the shields, tearing apart the outer armor. Hella's figure shuttled back and forth in the universe.
Countless of Gorután's subordinates were killed by the combination of physical and mental damage. The death energy took away their life force and replenished Hella's health. At the same time, it absorbed the soul fragments of the dead to strengthen Hella's Esper Ability.
Being attacked, the fleet panicked for a moment and hurriedly counterattacked. The cannons on the ships fired, but some of them were dodged or blocked by the death energy shield. Only a small portion of them caused damage to Hella.
However, in front of Hella's high blood-sucking efficiency, these injuries were healed in the blink of an eye.
Gorutan's eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, and he was extremely furious. His speed suddenly increased, and he almost instantly passed through the surging death energy around Hila, closing in on her body. This time, he did not hold back, and his punches and kicks filled with killing intent left countless afterimages as they landed on her body like a storm.
Bang bang bang!
Rings of flames exploded, and the punches continued to shatter Hella's organs and bones. The power of a peak Beyond Grade A Pugilist almost turned her into a pile of meat paste.
However, Hella, who had received a large amount of blood-sucking feedback, increased her endurance by a few levels. Her health dropped and rose again, and she barely managed to hold on.
Hella kept dodging and defending, but she did not forget to counterattack time and time again. She even exchanged injuries for injuries.
"You're really looking for death!"
Gorután was furious. While beating Hella, he looked back at the Black Star Corps fleet not far away with eyes filled with killing intent.
Hella actually dared to kill his subordinates to vent her anger. He could also return the favor to the Black Star Corps.
However, at this time, Gorután's pupils constricted. He saw a Mech Legion fly out from the Black Star Corps fleet and block in front of the fleet. The leader was emitting shocking energy waves. It was Black Star's Lord's Avatar.
Han Xiao's mechanical army was on standby and did not plan to rescue Hella. Gorután knew that if he attacked the fleet, he would be in a one-versus-two situation.
I'm only one person, and I won't be able to split myself. If I attack the Black Star Corps fleet, I'll face Black Star, and Hella will be free to slaughter my subordinates.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Gorután could only give up the idea of attacking the fleet and he was even more furious.
He was a peak Beyond Grade A Beyond Grade A Beyond Grade A!
Black Star, you really think I won't kill your officers?
Fine! If you don't interfere, I'll beat your Deputy Army Commander to death right in front of you!
Ever since Hella slaughtered his subordinates, the level of conflict had escalated. Gorután no longer had the thought of testing the waters but wanted to kill … Black Star is not to be trifled with? So what! We're both peak Beyond Grade As. You really think I'm afraid of you? I have a temper too!
Gorután increased the intensity of his attacks, turning his anger into lethality and blasting it all on the opponent in front of him.
Attacking wildly meant that openings would be easily exposed. Hella was covered in blood, but she ignored the pain and kept her calm. She stared at the death energy on Gorután's body that was getting denser and denser, and her eyes flashed.
All of a sudden, Gorután's fist was wrapped in violent flames, and he punched out. He had used a skill, and the space around him seemed to be distorted.
Swoosh!
His fist passed through Hella's chest as though he had punched through her. The fist energy shot out and separated the red sea of death energy.
However, Gorután's eyes narrowed, and he did not feel like he had hit anything.
The next moment, Hella's body suddenly turned into a cluster of death energy and wrapped around Gorután's arm. In the sea of death energy far away, a cluster of human-shaped energy rose up and quickly transformed into Hella's original body.
[Dead Sea Stealth]!
Hella could turn her body into half energy and teleport in the area covered by death energy. The cooldown was not short, and this was one of her few movement skills.
Gorután frowned. After beating Hella up for so long, he thought that Hella did not have any dodging abilities.
Just as he was about to give chase, Gorután felt his fist sink. The energy slough that Hella left behind when she teleported wrapped around his hand and released a huge suction force, dragging his arm down as though it was trying to suck him into the sea of death energy.
At the same time, the [Death's Erosion] on Gorután's body suddenly soared from 10 to 15 layers!
[Dead Transfer]!
Hella's method of stacking [Death's Erosion] was not just a normal attack. She had the ability to stack multiple layers of marks in an instant, and this was one of them. It was a semi-control skill, and as long as it was effective, she could give the target five layers of [Death's Erosion].
She had been hiding this skill all along, and she wanted to launch a surprise attack to stack all the marks on Gorután's body and detonate the 15 layers of [Death's Harvest] before he could dispel the debuffs.
Attacking Gorután's fleet was to suck blood and choose a battlefield that was beneficial to her to increase her endurance. Secondly, it was to attract aggro.
From her point of view, she could only use herself as bait to provoke Gorután's anger. Only then would he have a chance to reveal his weakness. As long as he strengthened his attacks, he would have less energy to defend.
Hella's eyes were calm. The moment the skill took effect, she did not give Gorután any time to react. She seamlessly connected [Death's Harvest] and detonated the 15 layers of marks.
Boom!
Gorután's body exploded with a dazzling red light!
Hella took the opportunity to retreat and widen the distance between them.
However, in the next moment, a dark brown Pugilist Body Separation Wave shot out from the red light, evaporating the death energy that blocked its path and directly hitting Hella, pushing her straight toward Planet Phiri.
The brown ray pierced through Planet Phiri like a toothpick piercing through an orange.
However, in the next second, holes appeared on both sides of the planet and began to expand rapidly, releasing the red light of the planet's core.
Buzz!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with white, and they subconsciously closed their eyes. If not for the battleship portholes having the function of adjusting the spectrum and brightness, this level of light would have been enough to burn the eyes of many people present.
"Warning! Warning! Energy eruption detected! Level of explosion: Planet Annihilation! "
The ear-piercing alarm sounded on every ship, and when everyone opened their eyes again, the huge planet had already disappeared without a trace.
Only a tiny speck of dust was left. The entire planet collapsed and was annihilated. Countless materials were vaporized, and Hella was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, the death energy explosion caused by [Death's Harvest] quickly dissipated, revealing Gorután's figure. There were many corrosive wounds on his body, and they were slowly healing.
His level was too high, so the Instant Death Judgment could not succeed. However, it had still vaporized twenty percent of his health!
Ever since he stepped into the peak Beyond Grade A realm, Gorután had rarely suffered such heavy injuries. In his expectations, dealing with a new Beyond Grade A like Hella would be a piece of cake, but he did not expect to suffer such a loss.
In his rage, Gorután brazenly used one of his trump cards, his self-created Pugilist ultimate technique, Beast Ancestor Flow — Light of Piercing. This was not just a pure Pugilist fluctuation but also contained the laws of the universe that he had comprehended with his body.
It looked like a Pugilist flame ray, but in reality, it swept up the energy of the universe along the way, bringing with it a terrifying radiation energy. Its power multiplied, and when it hit the planet's core, it would cause a chain collapse and complete the destruction of the planet. Its lethality toward life forms was also terrifying.
Hella's health was not full to begin with, and with this attack, it was as if she had been vaporized and killed instantly.
Gorután's murderous gaze turned to Black Star in the distance, and the aura around his body gradually rose.
He did not think that Black Star would be indifferent to killing the other party's deputy army commander in front of Black Star. He was already prepared to deal with a strong enemy.
However, out of his expectations, Han Xiao's mechanical army did not rush over to take revenge as he had imagined but instead turned around and went to the area of the planet wreckage.
Just as he was confused, a gray light lit up in the wreckage of Planet Phiri. Wisps of gray energy gathered and formed a whirlwind. Hella's spiritual body was faintly discernible in it, attracting Gorután's attention.
The next moment, Hella's body reassembled in the whirlwind. The death energy draped over her body like a robe, covering her body, only revealing her face, which was slightly pale.
A mechanical soldier tossed out an army insignia. Hella casually caught it and activated it. Countless nanoparticles flowed out from it and turned into a new 'Crimson Snake — First Generation' combat suit that automatically wore on her body. Immediately after, the Aurora Potion inside the combat suit was injected into her body. Hella's depressed state that had returned from the brink of death quickly soared. Her face became rosy again, and her health and mana recovered to more than half.
"Not dead?" Gorután's eyes narrowed, and his face instantly darkened.
It would have been fine if he did not want to kill Hella, but he had already tried to kill her, and Hella was still alive. This gave Gorután a completely different feeling, and he was immediately unhappy.
However, Black Star had already intervened, so it was useless to chase after her now. Gorután frowned and ordered the fleet to regroup while he waited for orders to recover. The way he saw it, since Hella was not dead, Black Star would definitely have to give him an explanation.
On the other side, Hella flew back to the Lord's Avatar. Han Xiao glanced at her and said with a smile that was not a smile, "How was it? Do you still want to get beaten up?"
"I can't beat him, but I did deal some damage to him."
Hella shook her head and felt that she had gained quite a lot. She had accumulated more experience fighting against Beyond Grade As, and at the same time, she had killed quite a few of the enemy's troops. Her Esper Ability strength had increased slightly.
This was especially so since a few Calamity Grade officers had died in her hands, which gave her a considerable bonus. It was much better than when she had slaughtered wild beasts during her training.
As she said that, Hella paused and hesitated for a moment. "This time … I've caused you some trouble, right?"
In order to turn the situation around, she had attacked the enemy's fleet. This kind of combat method made it too easy to make enemies. She had probably formed a deeper grudge with Gorután.
Of course, Hella did not feel sorry for Gorután at all. As long as she entered battle mode, the lives of her enemies were just walking blood bags in her eyes. She only felt sorry for Han Xiao.
My personality seems to make it very easy to make enemies. Maybe staying in the Black Star Corps was a wrong decision and will cause him trouble …
Hella could not help but have this thought flash through her mind.
She was still the Goddess of Death who viewed human lives as nothing in her previous life. Her indifference to life was a character that was carved into her bones … or it might be a characteristic brought about by her Esper Ability. The only thing that was better than her previous life was that she would not kill ordinary people indiscriminately. Her cruelty was only targeted at her enemies.
Han Xiao knew that Hella was not good at dealing with people. She was straightforward and reckless, so it was impossible to expect her to hold back.
"We'll talk about that when we get back." Han Xiao shook his head and said with an unquestionable tone, "Get on the spaceship first. I'll take care of the rest."
Hearing this, Hella opened her mouth but did not say anything. In the end, she nodded silently and boarded the spaceship.
Han Xiao controlled his Lord's Avatar and slowly approached Gorután's army.
When they arrived at the center, the mechanical army threw out compressed orbs one after another, forming a small floating space base with an area of only a thousand square meters. The entrance of the base was wide open, and Han Xiao waved at Gorután and made an inviting gesture.
Gorután narrowed his eyes and flew into the base. The interior of the base was filled with air. There was a long table in the center with two seats at each end.
Han Xiao sat at one end and nodded at Gorután.
"Please sit."
Gorután sat down and snorted. "Black Star, your Deputy Army Commander is really bold. I've never seen a new Beyond Grade A who's so courting death. Does she think that she can do whatever she wants with you as her backer?"
"Hehe, what are you talking about? She's always been bold. It has nothing to do with me." Han Xiao shook his head.
"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you." Gorután waved his hand. "For your sake, I won't take her life, but she killed my descendants. This debt has to be settled. Tell me how to settle it."
"I think it's very simple." Han Xiao controlled his Lord's Avatar to stroke his metal chin. "You take your troops and leave, and I won't pursue this matter. How about that?"
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare! "Gorután's eyes widened, and his Pugilist aura surged.
"Don't be agitated, don't be agitated."
Han Xiao raised his hand and said calmly, "I don't think so.
Hella didn't agree to fight you one-on-one, so you can't blame anyone. Plus, I'm sure you've noticed that she didn't attack your fleet to vent her anger but to use her abilities to create an advantageous environment for herself. After all, she's no match for you, so she naturally has to make use of the battlefield conditions … Plus, in my opinion, it's clearly you and your fleet ganging up on her alone. Isn't that even worse? "
"… I didn't have much contact with you in the past. Sure enough, seeing is better than hearing about you. You're as shameless as the rumors say." Gorután sneered.
"Is that so?" Han Xiao clicked his tongue. "Is it glorious for a peak Beyond Grade A to bully a new Beyond Grade A? I have no enmity with you in the past, but you took the initiative to provoke my people and bully my Deputy Army Commander. Of course, she's no match for you in a one-on-one battle, but you didn't allow her to choose a battlefield that was advantageous to her. You're clearly bullying my people, and you still think you're in the right? "
Gorután was speechless for two seconds before he said with a deep voice, "No matter what, many of my subordinates are my descendants. Many Calamity Grade officers that I carefully nurtured died in her hands. She attacked my fleet first. She started this, so there's no way I'll let it go like this!"
Han Xiao chuckled. "Weren't you the one who started the fight? How did it become us starting the fight? Also, you started the fight, and now you're complaining that my people were too heavy-handed. I think you're even more shameless than me. "
Bang!
Gorutan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, full of anger.
"Black Star, watch your attitude!"
"Fine, fine, fine. Assuming you're in the right, what do you want me to do?" Han Xiao spread his hands.
Gorután said coldly, "Compensation, of course! I won't force your subordinates to pay with their lives. I want you to compensate me for my losses. Also, get Hella to apologize to me. "
"Oh, that's a very reasonable request." Han Xiao smiled. "But I refuse."
"Black Star!"
Gorutan was enraged. He smashed the table with his palm and roared, "Do you really want to become my enemy?!"
This time, Han Xiao's tone turned cold. "Do you think you're the only one who's angry? You bullied my old friend and even wanted to poach my people. I haven't settled this score with you yet! Also … what gave you the illusion that I can't afford to offend you? "
The Lord's Avatar slowly rose into the air and floated in front of Gorután. Their gazes met, and it was as if sparks could be seen. Their auras rose steadily, and they were at each other's throats. Lightning mixed with wind echoed in the narrow space.
Looking straight into Gorután's eyes, Han Xiao slowly said,
"It's not up to you to control my people!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Gorután's chest with his finger. He didn't back down, and his tone was firm.
"All of you want to test me every day. Do you really think I don't have a temper? I'm killing your people! If you want to play, I'll play with you to the end! Can you afford to play?! "
