Herlous was a Grade B Pugilist, and [Shattering Light] was a set of Super equipment that was tailor-made for him, allowing him to unleash his Pugilist strength to a greater extent. There were many devices hidden in the gaps of the armor that converted energy. The turbulent flames spewed out strong winds, and shockwaves spread out on the ground as he moved.
Grade B Pugilists started to reach the level of the Sun Family, and it was easy for them to release shockwaves with their bare hands. Pugilists who had passed the early stages were basically human-shaped firecrackers, exploding wherever they went.
Herlous' combat power was not to be underestimated even in the Shattered Star Ring. The Commander Grade armor was top-notch equipment, and its level was completely different from that of the Enlistee and NCO classes. Together with the Battleship Slicing Blade that increased energy, Herlous' combat power was shocking.
The thick blade released shockwaves, and the ground was turned upside down. The difference between the top-notch combat power and the Enlistee was too big, and there was no need for anyone else to interfere. Herlous spun the Battleship Slicing Blade like the wind, and his agility was far greater than that of the King Hunting Beast. The King Hunting Beast could not escape, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Herlous' god-like performance ignited the passion of countless soldiers instantly.
The Commander Grade armor that had disappeared for so many years had appeared again!
Who is this armor user?
All kinds of questions appeared in the minds of the Sunils.
The Commander Class armor had a very special status in the Sunil Race. Many people knew that this was the embodiment of the strongest individual combat power of the race. It was almost like a totem. Herlous' appearance awakened the dormant memories of all the Sunils.
All of a sudden, their morale skyrocketed. In gaming terms, all the Sunils received the 'All Attributes Increase' buff!
Han Xiao watched the show from the side and nodded. Herlous was very strong, even far stronger than him.
Herlous has started to make his move, which means that the Sunils are starting to enter the storyline that I'm familiar with … Han Xiao thought. With his little butterfly wings, Herlous' actions should deviate from the original storyline. It was just a matter of whether he had a chance to abduct him.
The particle cannon fired twice, killing the heavily injured Mountain Beasts and Lava Lizards. This kind of weapon was a conventional weapon used by the advanced civilizations in galactic wars, and it was an obsolete one. With the Sunil's energy technology, they could only burn low-grade energy. Even with the many restrictions, it was still powerful enough to be used as a killing weapon to defend the main city.
During the charging period, Herlous successfully killed the King Hunting Beasts and started to roam the battlefield. With his armor and energy protection, he was not afraid of being surrounded by the beast horde. He swung his Battleship Slicing Blade and was unparalleled in the beast horde.
Herlous alone could not stop the entire Beast Tide, but his role was undeniable. The soldiers in this area were able to catch a breather.
In Blue Star, a Grade C Super could fight an army head-on, and Herlous's grade was one level higher. Even if the beasts at the end of the Catastrophe were very strong, he could still handle them with ease, especially since he was a Pugilist.
Individuals with extraordinary powers were more agile, like sharp blades. At the same technological level, the difference between high-end combat forces and war troops was only in terms of quality and quantity. A powerful individual could become an army by himself!
Herlous jumped and moved, becoming the focus of the battlefield. Looking at his figure, the soldiers felt like they were filled with energy.
The situation gradually stabilized. This wave of beast horde ended without any danger. Just as the military was excitedly wanting to contact this mysterious person, Herlous' body flashed, ran into the forest, and disappeared. It was obvious that he did not want to expose his identity.
Herlous was conflicted. Contacting the military meant that his peaceful life in the past would no longer exist. He would have to walk the same path as Fernas and the others, becoming the guardian of the race. Although it was his choice whether to do so or not, Herlous felt that he would definitely not be able to stay out of it by then.
Furthermore, the upper echelons would definitely ask him to hand over the Commander Class armor for the race to study. Herlous saw it as Delphi's precious legacy, so he was conflicted.
Although he stood out to protect the race, and the sense of responsibility that had been sleeping in him slowly woke up, a strong person would not change their personality overnight.
…
In the last few days, Herlous was conflicted about what to do while showing up to help. The military had been investigating his identity, but every time a battle ended, he would leave quickly and remain mysterious.
A few days later, the whispers in everyone's mind suddenly disappeared, and the tide ended.
The beast horde that was still attacking suddenly paused. Countless beasts woke up from their killing instincts, stopped running, looked around in confusion, and then scattered in all directions. The beast horde then disappeared.
"The Catastrophe is finally gone." Han Xiao exhaled.
The soldiers laid down exhausted, unable to move. Their bodies had reached their limits. The surviving warriors were too tired.
The logistics team cleaned up the battlefield, dragged the sleeping soldiers out of the armor, and moved them to the infirmary one by one.
The army was resting. Seeing the battle situation on the broadcast, countless people in the city cheered.
Every time a Catastrophe ended, it was like surviving a disaster. According to tradition, there would be a celebration a few days later to thank the army for their contributions and mourn the martyrs who had passed away. This kind of ritualistic celebration was good for building the cohesion of the race, relaxing the tense nerves, making people laugh, shed some tears, and get rid of some negative emotions. Once again, they would feel that there was still hope in life.
However, this time was different. An hour after the Catastrophe ended, Fernas' face appeared on all the televisions in the streets.
"My people, I'm Fernas. I believe many of you know me. I would like to make a statement. From today onwards, I represent forty percent of the Supers — the guardians you all call — to announce that we are leaving the Sunil Race and will never return …" Fernas said calmly.
His words were very firm, indicating that they had done their best and were now going to pursue freedom, no longer working for the race.
The Sunils felt like they had been hit by a freezing rain. The joy and enthusiasm of surviving the Catastrophe were all frozen. They were all stunned.
What's going on? Why so sudden?
The upper echelons of the military were shocked. They did not know about this at all.
Far away in the forest, Herlous saw Fernas' declaration through the built-in terminal of the armor. He could not believe it and mumbled, "Why didn't they leave quietly? This way, the people will … "
As soon as the declaration came out, the entire Sunil Race was shocked. Their minds were in chaos and confusion. They did not know the reason, only that the guardian they had always relied on was going to abandon them!
Why? Why!
Therefore, no one was silent.
Collapse, disillusionment, despair.
Cries, screams, roars.
This was the collapse of their beliefs! Even the minority who were dissatisfied with the Supers felt endless panic when they saw this!
The entire race was shocked!
Fernas appeared with the Supers who had decided to leave. They walked out, and the Sunil soldiers looked at them in disbelief, but they could not help but make a path for them.
This time, another group of people, including Lerden, came up to them in shock and anger.
The Sunil Supers were divided into two groups. One group announced that they were leaving the race, and the other group was shocked and angry. The two sides stood far away, facing each other.
The mercenaries who were waiting for the final payment all looked like they were waiting for a good show.
Han Xiao leaned against a tank and looked at this scene from the side. He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, It's starting.
He had only heard about the split of the Sunil Supers from rumors, but this time, he could see the real thing with his own eyes.
The two sides were called the Independence Faction led by Fernas, and the Guardian Faction that protected the race.
"Why are you doing this?" A person from the Guardian Faction was furious.
Fernas glanced at him coldly and said, "I've already said it very clearly. Don't show such an expression. I know you guys have thought this way for a long time. After so many years, how many brothers have been sacrificed? How many brothers have been disabled because of this? We've already done our best."
The expressions of the people from the Guardian Faction changed slightly. Indeed, most people had similar thoughts before. Not many people could remain firm and unwavering. Furthermore, they had been in the colorful galaxy for a long time and had seen the temptation of the colorful world.
Some people got rid of the desire to grow stronger, and some people let it take root.
"But …" Lerden clenched his teeth. "If you want to leave, you can leave quietly. Why do you have to make such a big fuss? Why do you have to publicly announce the split? You're destroying the hope of the race …"
Fernas interrupted Lerden and said coldly, "So what?"
The people from the Guardian Faction were shocked. They felt that the once firm and reliable Fernas had become a complete stranger.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the surrounding Sunil soldiers gradually surrounded them. Further away, the mercenaries all took out their snacks and watched this battle without blinking. Their faces were filled with excitement, as if they wanted to see the world burn.
Han Xiao casually grabbed a weird cigar-like cigarette from a dwarf mercenary. He took a puff, shrugged, and said, "See? This is the result of a long-distance relationship."
"Brilliant." The people around them who were watching the show laughed out loud. The mercenaries were a group of very cold and unsympathetic people.
Han Xiao was very open-minded. The split of the Sunil race was destined to happen. It was the beginning of the end of the Sunil Civilization and Herlous' part. He was just a spectator now. Only when Sunil split and became chaotic would he have the chance to be a third party. All he had to do was wait for everything to develop naturally.
Furthermore, with his intervention, the split might not be the source of the tragedy like in the original plot but a new beginning. He could also benefit from it. This was a win-win situation.
