The Dark-star team had originally thought that the Blue Star Organisation's search for the Mutation Source was futile. However, in just a day, the Mutation Source had been found. This fact had left the team dumbfounded.
The results of their research had only been used by Blue Star for a few days, and Dark-star was still in the dark. They did not know that Godora had developed all sorts of devices to counter the Mutation Source, and the team had thought that this was luck. They could not help but sigh in amazement.
"Black Star is currently fighting with the Mutation Source in the Western Continent. The image shows that the Mutation Source is unable to retaliate. Black Star's strength far exceeds the strength of this planet, and there is no doubt that the Mutation Source will not be able to defeat Black Star, "the surveillance officer said as he looked at the screen.
"I know. The device has detected that the radiation of the Mutation Source has yet to reach the standard of maturity. The Mutation Source is still in a weak growth stage, and even if it reaches its final form, it might not be a match for Black Star," the team leader said in a low voice.
"However, the Mutation Source is extremely difficult to kill, and most normal attacks are useless against it. Instead, they will replenish its energy, and it will become stronger the more it is attacked. While Black Star is powerful, he will not be able to kill the Mutation Source."
While they were surprised that the Mutation Source had been found, the team did not panic. The Mutation Source had a strong life force, and it would not be killed so easily. However, they still had to report this matter to the upper echelons.
Just as the team leader was about to contact the upper echelons, the surveillance officer's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Wait a moment, what did Black Star do? The Mutation Source seems to have been injured! "
"What!"
The team leader hurriedly rushed to the screen, and it was the image of Han Xiao stabbing the Mutation Source. With a single look, he could tell that the Mutation Source was in a terrible state. That attack had caused it real damage!
The team leader's face turned grim, and the situation became clear. It was no wonder Blue Star had suddenly started searching for the Mutation Source. It turned out that Black Star had found a method to deal with it!
He immediately realized that the situation had become serious.
"Send this information back to the headquarters immediately!"
…
The massive Dark-star fleet was moving through the universe, approaching Planet Golden Gate.
There were only two days left before the attack on Planet Golden Gate, and the assembled fleet was currently heading towards Planet Golden Gate. Degulish placed all his focus on this matter and left all the other smaller matters to the intelligence department. However, at such a crucial moment, the person in charge of intelligence rushed into his office with a piece of information from the Blue Star Undercover Squad. Following the anxious tone of the person in charge of intelligence, Degulish's confused expression slowly turned into shock.
"This is impossible!"
Degulish suddenly stood up, the news was like a stick to his head, his face filled with disbelief.
Black Star was currently dealing with the Mutation Source, so there was a risk that the Blue Star's Mutation Disaster would be eradicated!
The organization that sold the Mutation Source had shown all sorts of complicated parameters to the upper echelons of Dark-star and swore that it would take at least a year for the research to be completed. However, it had only been a few months, so how could Godora be able to produce results so quickly?
The person in charge of intelligence had an ugly expression on his face. "Godora's security is very tight. My intelligence network doesn't even know the details of their research."
Bang!
The alloy table was smashed into two with a single punch, and Degulish was both shocked and enraged.
He had never expected that the first thing to go wrong would be the cornerstone of his plan. This was no different from a fire in his backyard!
If Black Star or Godora truly had the means to eradicate the Mutation Disaster, the entire plan of the organization would be affected. Without the military strength, public opinion, and politics of the calamity planets, they would not be able to carry out their plans. This plan that they had prepared for so many years might have to be stopped midway.
However … it just had to happen right when they were about to carry out their crucial mission!
If this was the worst case scenario, the plan to attack Planet Golden Gate would have to be stopped, and they would have to change their entire strategy.
"What exactly is this …"
Degulish gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. "Tell the Blue Star Undercover Squad that from now on, I want them to report the situation of the battlefield to me in real time!"
Outside the door, Ashes happened to pass by and stopped in his tracks. He glanced at Degulish and narrowed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Han Xiao's footwork was extremely fast, and he sent a few punches at the Mutation Source's face, chest, and abdomen. His strength was not wasted, and all of it entered the Mutation Source's body through his fists. The iron fists of the mechanical suit landed on the fluid body of the Mutation Source, and every punch was able to sink deeply into the Mutation Source's body.
In front of him, the Mutation Source did not have any ability to retaliate and was sent flying all over the place. It was like a human-shaped sandbag. Not only was it durable, but it also felt good to the touch. Han Xiao could not even bear to use his long-range weapons. It was truly the best sandbag in the world, and he had really fallen in love with the feel of the Mutation Source.
If he could give it a few punches when he was bored, how comfortable would that be?
It was a pity that the Mutation Source had to be killed. Not mentioning Godora's resolute attitude, the Mutation Source was a biological weapon that could control lifeforms. To most lifeforms in the universe, its existence was a threat, and the various civilizations of the Order Faction would not allow such a sensitive weapon to be controlled by an outsider.
The scene of Han Xiao beating up the Mutation Source was seen by the tens of thousands of Blue Star players, and the majority of them felt a little strange. A boss of the Main Storyline was being taught a lesson by a familiar NPC. Why did they feel that Black Star was more like a boss?
"Do your best! Don't give up!"
"Run! You can't defeat Demon King Black Star!"
Seeing the Mutation Source being beaten up so badly, many players could not help but sympathize and cheer for the Mutation Source on the forums.
Shua!
Han Xiao's elbow landed on the head of the Mutation Source, but it did not feel as expected. His elbow had sliced the Mutation Source into two halves. To be precise, the Mutation Source had taken the initiative to split its body, causing Han Xiao's attack to miss.
Following which, the two halves of the black body suddenly spat out a large amount of sticky black substance like a fountain. This black substance fell into the muddy water and slithered around like small snakes, escaping in all directions.
While the Mutation Source's thoughts were still immature, fear was an instinct of life. After exchanging blows for a short period of time, it had been completely suppressed. Han Xiao's strength made it feel as though it was unbeatable. The Mutation Source did not wish to continue fighting and escaped in a panic. It took the initiative to use its energy to create sticky liquid and split its body to confuse the enemy while its main body hid within to escape.
This heavy rain had provided the Mutation Source with the best place to escape. The surrounding beasts and Mech Legion were fighting, and the chaotic scene was also beneficial for its escape. Amidst the countless pools of sticky liquid, there was only one main body.
"You want to run? Do you think you can run? "
The moment those words left his mouth, Han Xiao suddenly felt as though he was the villain.
The thrusters on his back and the soles of his feet shot out, and his entire body flew up. Han Xiao locked onto a pool of black sticky liquid in the sky. When they were exchanging blows, Philip had recorded the data of the Mutation Source, and the location of the main body was clearly displayed on the radar.
The Mutation Source was currently in the form of a long snake, and upon sensing that Han Xiao had locked onto it, it hurriedly split its body and turned into a water-like substance, seeping into the soil and trying to escape.
Hualala!
Han Xiao waved his hands, and two mechanical hands dug up the soil in this region.
The Mutation Source was also pulled out from the soil.
The Mutation Source hurriedly returned to its slime form and shot itself out. It landed on the body of a Hunting Wind Eagle and swiftly entered its body.
This Hunting Wind Eagle flapped its wings and hurriedly flew into the distance.
Tu tu tu!
The next moment, more than a dozen flying turrets turned around at the same time, their barrels locking onto the Hunting Wind Eagle. They fired scorching light cannons, and in just an instant, the Hunting Wind Eagle was reduced to a pile of charred meat.
With a 'pa ji' sound, the Mutation Source fell to the ground, causing mud to splatter everywhere. It wanted to continue escaping, but the mechanical hands suddenly appeared and grabbed onto its main body.
"You will not be able to escape no matter where you go. Stop struggling and obediently take the injection."
Han Xiao clenched his fist, and a syringe shot out from his fingertips and pierced into the slime form of the Mutation Source. A second syringe of destruction was shot in, and the Mutation Source was injected once more.
Pa!
It was the same explosion as the first time. On the interface, the weakened state of the Mutation Source increased once more, and its various abilities were weakened once more. This time, it took even longer for it to return to its human form.
The wild beasts in the surroundings regained their consciousness once more, and the duration was much longer than the first time. Even if they fell under the control of the wild beasts, the degree of violence was greatly reduced. One could clearly see that many of the wild beasts were showing signs of retreating.
The Mech Legion was like a meat grinder, and tens of thousands of wild beasts were torn into pieces by these metal monsters. The dark brown mud had turned dark red. Facing this cold and silent enemy that seemed to know no fatigue, even if the wild beasts were controlled by the Mutation Source, they were unable to suppress their instinctive fear.
At this moment, a strange noise sounded.
Han Xiao turned around and saw that a few hundred players had entered the battlefield, and they were heading in his direction.
Without needing to think, Han Xiao knew that these players were attracted by the boss mission and wanted to steal his kill.
The intentions of the players were too obvious. They wanted to make use of the gap created by the Mech Legion and the wild beasts to sneak over. In other words, they wanted to use his Mech Legion as cover.
"How despicable."
Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and he instructed Philip to pull back the Mech Legion as long as the players advanced. This method was extremely effective, and the players' plan to take advantage of the situation collapsed in an instant. Without the protection of the Mech Legion, the players were instantly surrounded by danger. They had tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it, and the way they died was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Want to steal my kill? I'm afraid I'm not dreaming.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao retracted his gaze. Without waiting for the Mutation Source to move again, he charged forward and stepped on its chest, injecting the last syringe into its body.
The three syringes were all used up, and the Mutation Source was on the verge of collapsing. However, his guess was not wrong, and the Mutation Source was indeed not destroyed.
Godora's group of teammates were all really noobs!
"Thankfully, the Mutation Source does not even have a tenth of its original strength, and it is extremely easy to kill."
This was the weakest moment of the Mutation Source, and Han Xiao did not wish for his chicken to be stolen. With a wave of his hand, the Halo Array Hovering Shield Shuttles formed a golden shield to protect him and the Mutation Source. With the strength of the wild beasts and players, they would not be able to break through the Halo Array Hovering Shield Shuttles.
The Mutation Source transformed, and this time, it could only transform into the upper half of a human body. Droplets of mucus were secreted from its body before disappearing. This meant that its body was slowly collapsing, and even maintaining its human form was extremely difficult. It was already on the verge of death.
"I don't want to die …"
The Mutation Source suddenly opened its mouth. While there were no fluctuations in its tone, Han Xiao could hear the pleading tone in its voice.
After pausing for a moment, Han Xiao opened the helmet of his mechanical suit, revealing his handsome face. Sighing, he said, "I am here to destroy … Oh, that's not right. I am here to kill you. There is no point in saying all this to me. "
"I don't understand … I only want to live like all of you …"
Han Xiao shook his head and said, "You have already caused a huge calamity on this planet. Perhaps it was not your intention, but your life form is in conflict with too many other species. If you live, others will not be able to live. Even without me, others will kill you. "
The life form of the Mutation Source was to treat other lifeforms as its own 'sensory organs' and assimilate them. Just like how the food chain worked, carnivores only hunted for the sake of filling their stomachs. In its world, controlling these 'sensory organs' was a natural instinct.
From another perspective, the Mutation Source could be considered a group life form. The 'sensory organs' it controlled were a part of its body, and expanding its' body 'was its instinct. As such, it naturally stood on the opposite side of the majority of other lifeforms.
When the Mutation Source grew to a sufficiently powerful level, it would be able to completely control all the lifeforms on a planet. The lifeforms on the planet would be its body, and it would be able to unify all the lifeforms on the planet and become the 'consciousness' of the planet.
If an outsider came to the planet and entered the range of its abilities, they would also be assimilated into the group.
At this level, the Mutation Source was no longer a virus or a weapon. It was … a god of nature similar to the consciousness of Gaia!
As such, to the majority of lifeforms, the existence of the Mutation Source was a sin.
"Why … is it like this? Why … am I the only one who cannot live? "
The Mutation Source muttered.
Hu!
At this moment, Nagojin's spaceship appeared in the sky and was rapidly approaching the battlefield. They had only arrived at the last moment, and they had the demeanor of a police officer in movies.
"It's time for you to be on your way." The mechanical component moved, and Han Xiao's arm turned into a massive cannon, aiming at the Mutation Source.
The Mutation Source stared at Han Xiao and said, "Are you really not going to let me off?"
Han Xiao shook his head, and the cannon began to gather energy, gradually lighting up.
"Will I die? What is death like?"
The Mutation Source knew that its life was about to come to an end, and it could not help but think back to when it was just born. It did not have any senses, and it was unable to observe the outside world. The world was dark and chaotic. Death … would it be the same as when it was born?
For some reason, the Mutation Source suddenly recalled that before it learned how to control its' senses', it could only share the vision of the infected. At that time, it could often see the smiling faces of different individuals, but it was getting rarer and rarer now.
At the last moment of its life, the fear seemed to have disappeared. Subconsciously, the Mutation Source changed its facial features and turned into the smiling face in its memories. "Thank you for telling me all this … Thank you for chatting with me …"
In truth, the Mutation Source was extremely pure and was like a piece of white paper. Han Xiao knew this point.
Boom!
The cannon exploded, and soil flew everywhere. The body of the Mutation Source was reduced to ashes, and nothing was left behind.
Retracting the cannon, Han Xiao took a deep breath, and his mechanical suit turned back into a compressed orb.
"I'm sorry. I understand you, but you are my enemy."
After retracting his protective shield, Han Xiao looked at his surroundings.
The beasts regained their consciousness, and fear could be seen in their eyes. The next moment, the beasts scattered and fled in all directions, leaving behind a ground filled with corpses.
