Boom!
With the arrival of the reinforcements, it was a surprise attack. Han Xiao did not give Stephanie and the others any time to catch their breath. He called for Wilton and the others to join the battle.
Now, it was seven against eight. Stephanie and the others had higher average levels than Wilton, but they were almost equal in numbers.
For a short period of time, Wilton and the others were able to hold back one person each. Han Xiao's pressure was greatly reduced, and he could focus on dealing with Stephanie and the enemy Mechanic.
Hualala —
The fifteen Calamity Grades were like bolts of lightning, shuttling across the sea, causing the waves to surge.
Stephanie dealt with the attacks of the Mech Legion while suppressing the shock in her heart. As a Calamity Grade Super who had gone through hundreds of battles, she could quickly adapt to sudden situations.
She did not know how Black Star had seen through the ambush, but it had already become a fact. The only thing she could do was to deal with it.
Stephanie's brain worked quickly as she analyzed the situation.
"The enemy has six Grade A Supers. Even with me here, I won't be able to finish off Black Star's helpers in a short period of time. It'll take a lot of time to subdue Black Star …"
Stephanie frowned.
On the other side …
The two Mech Legion clashed in midair. The colorful energy waves kept lighting up the dark sky.
Han Xiao used the cover of the legion to charge forward. He used Mountain Ape Throw and Psionic Impact to break a few bones of the enemy Mechanic. The enemy retreated in pain. Then, Han Xiao activated his Psionic Shield and blocked an invisible shockwave that Stephanie sent from afar. It was like a thunderclap exploding in midair.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two sides fought back and forth. Han Xiao fought while observing Stephanie.
Now that his reinforcements had arrived, the enemy would definitely react. There were only two paths in front of Stephanie.
The first was to retreat and find another chance in the future.
The second was to fight head-on and bet that he did not have more reinforcements to take down Wilton and the others.
Just as Han Xiao was guessing, Stephanie clasped her hands together. Her body suddenly started to vibrate at a high frequency that was hard to be seen with the naked eye. The space around her started to change.
Boom! Boom! Dong!
Wilton's group of six suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat. All sorts of negative statuses appeared. They felt their bodies becoming sluggish, and their control over their bodies decreased significantly.
Whoosh!
Stephanie used an ability similar to Flash again. She turned into a shadow and suddenly appeared behind Wilton.
This move failed on Han Xiao, but Wilton was not him. Clearly, he did not react in time, and Stephanie's hand was already on his back.
Hum!!
This attack did not seem to have any force behind it, but Wilton's body trembled violently. He felt a strange vibration enter his body, and all his muscles and bones started vibrating at the same frequency.
Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, a sharp pain suddenly erupted!
Inside Wilton's body, the terrifying high-frequency vibrations caused his muscle fibers to break, his bones to crack, his organs to bleed, and his blood vessels to explode!
Being hit by Stephanie's light attack, Wilton instantly turned into a bloody man. Shocked, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Captain!"
The other two Purple Crystal Grade A Supers noticed the change. Their expressions changed, and they hurriedly abandoned their opponents, wanting to rush over to help.
Stephanie was expressionless. Her hand on Wilton's back suddenly tightened. Her fingers dug into his flesh, and she suddenly twisted 180 degrees.
"Argh!"
Wilton's eyes were bloodshot.
Under the intense pain, he punched his back with all his might. Stephanie had already succeeded. She did not want to fight the Pugilist head-on and retreated.
The back of Wilton's armor shattered, revealing the skin on his back. A large area of his muscles and bones were crushed and mixed together, forming a spiral mark. There were bone spikes protruding from under the skin. It looked terrifying.
The battle had only lasted for an instant, but Stephanie had easily injured a Calamity Grade Pugilist. The expressions of Wilton and the rest of the six changed. Stephanie's lethality was beyond their expectations.
Han Xiao's expression froze. He understood Stephanie's plan. This woman did not plan to retreat. She had chosen the second option, which was to fight head-on.
With his understanding of Stephanie, this did not surprise him.
Stephanie had once been active during the exploration era. She was capable of planning before taking action, and she also dared to fight head-on. She would not give up on missions easily.
"In other words, this is going to be a tough battle. Unless they destroy the other side, they won't retreat."
Han Xiao clenched his teeth. This kind of opponent was obviously more difficult to deal with than Albert's tactful style.
Stephanie was very strong. Her ability was called 'Resonance Coordination'. It sounded ordinary, but it was actually an extremely powerful Esper Ability. There were many ways to use it, and its lethality made the players suffer even more.
Because the vibration frequency could penetrate many defensive measures and cause structural damage due to stress, Stephanie's every move had high True Damage and Armor Penetration Damage. She had extremely high Armor Penetration ability and could greatly weaken the opponent's defense.
Han Xiao was not afraid of True Damage. The Germinal Organization leader was still protecting him.
However, his reinforcements did not have the (Steel Body) talent. Stephanie's lethality was enough to make them extremely wary.
Wilton and the others were elites at most. The quantity and quality of their talents and skills could not be compared to Stephanie, who was a hidden boss.
Stephanie's Resonance Coordination not only had terrifying single-target damage, but its AOE was also just as strong. Through the vibration frequency, she could stack a lot of negative statuses on the enemies in her domain. At the same time, when facing weaker Supers, she could even use the vibration to cause ultrasonic waves and infrasonic waves to shatter the organs of the weaker Supers.
This meant that whether it was one-on-one or group fights, bullying noobs, or fighting people of the same level, they were all Stephanie's strengths.
She was even more difficult to deal with than Ashes in the past!
Han Xiao had once fought alongside Jayne, a Grade A Super with the nickname 'Seaquake'. Stephanie's Esper Ability was similar to Jayne's, and their Esper Abilities were related to vibration. However, the strength, range, and application of Stephanie's Esper Ability were far above Jayne's. This was a superior vibration-type Esper Ability!
"She's a killing machine. I can't let her deal with the others. Only I can stop her …"
As this thought flashed through his mind, Han Xiao turned the Mech Legion's cannons and fired at Stephanie, forming a dense net. At the same time, Han Xiao personally charged over and fought with Stephanie.
Stephanie's expression did not look good. She originally wanted to deal with Black Star's helper first, but Han Xiao took the initiative to attack her.
Under the endless cannon fire, Stephanie could not get away, but she did not dare get distracted.
Their fists landed on each other's bodies, and she was completely entangled with Han Xiao. She could not shake him off no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing this, Wilton was relieved. He did not dare fight with Stephanie. Black Star had taken the initiative to fight with the most dangerous enemy. This made him feel relieved. He stared at Han Xiao, clenched his teeth, and started fighting with his opponent.
In the mechanical army, they clashed again and again. The shockwaves formed storms that spread out and kept growing.
Rumble!
The pillars of light from the Sky Cannons kept falling and smashing into the ocean, creating tsunamis that were hundreds of meters tall.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a heavy rain finally fell from the dark clouds.
More than ten Calamity Grade Supers fought fiercely. The disasters that they created were truly apocalyptic.
After fighting for a few hours, the number of people had become twelve. After using the Psionic Sky Cannons many times, they finally destroyed the opponent's Mechanic.
A Godora Calamity Grade was killed by the opponent, and his opponent was also heavily injured by Han Xiao's Mech Legion. In the end, Wilton took the head.
Three Calamity Grade Supers died. The battle was extremely intense. Now, the number of people was even. It was six against six!
"Hu … hu …"
The Mountain Ape mechanical suit was tattered. It had already been repaired three times with (Waste Modification). Han Xiao panted heavily, dragged his tired body, and rammed into Stephanie again and again.
Stephanie's condition was not good either. Her forehead was bleeding, and she was covered in wounds. Her clothes were barely covering her body, and her eyes were fierce.
The Mech Legion formation around them became much thinner. The two of them did not hold back and fought like wild beasts.
The two of them did not have much stamina left and were quickly recovering. They were in a stalemate.
"She also has a boss-type Molding Talent. She has a lot of energy, high health, and fast recovery speed. It'll take at least a few days to decide the winner in a battle of attrition!"
Han Xiao clenched his teeth. With his health and energy conversion, Mech Legion, and immunity to True Damage, he was able to gain the upper hand. Stephanie was the shadow of Thousand Shadows. Her abilities were enhanced, and her level was probably around level 240. She was undoubtedly a top Grade A + Super.
The longer the battle dragged on, the higher his chances of winning. In a battle of attrition, Han Xiao was still slightly better. However, he could not drag it on any longer.
A single Calamity Grade Super had the ability to destroy the surface of a planet. At this time, the disasters created by the battle of so many Calamity Grade Supers had already started to engulf the entire Blue Star.
The natural disasters caused by the aftermath of the battle were irreversible!
Even if they stopped immediately, the disasters from before would still continue to brew.
If the battle continued for a few more days, all the creatures on the surface of Blue Star would probably die.
"I have to break the stalemate now. Both sides are evenly matched. As long as I'm a little stronger, I'll be able to break the fragile balance and cause a chain reaction!"
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed. Without another word, he dove down and charged into the roaring sea.
He could advance at any time. He just needed time. Under the control of Philip, part of the Mech Legion in the sky stayed on the sea to hold back the enemy, and the rest followed Han Xiao into the sea to provide necessary protection.
Stephanie frowned. She glanced at Wilton and the others. After hesitating for a moment, she made a decision. She did not take the opportunity to deal with the others. Instead, she pushed the Mech Legion away and dove into the sea as well.
Her rich experience told her that something was definitely wrong. No matter what Black Star's goal was, it was best to stop him.
As the strongest people from both sides dove into the sea one after another, everyone's expression changed. They did not know why Black Star suddenly split up the battlefield.
Could it be that he did not want to be disturbed by others and wanted to fight Stephanie in the sea?
"Captain, should we go down and provide support?"
Hearing this, Wilton's eyes changed. Clenching his teeth, he said, "No, let's do what we're supposed to do. Don't let the enemy follow us. Let Black Star play with that woman."
He felt that Black Star did not need support. In fact, subconsciously, he did not want to face Stephanie.
That woman was too dangerous. If he handed her to Black Star, he would not have to bear the additional pressure.
Although he was ordered to provide support to Han Xiao, Wilton did not want to risk his life.
…
At the same time, in Black Star City …
Reports of natural disasters kept being sent to Bennett's desk. The satellite observed that the source of the disaster was the battlefield where Han Xiao and the others were fighting.
Many officials and experts were crowded in the office, anxiously reporting to Bennett.
"A few hours ago, earthquakes occurred in many areas of the Northern Continent. Many rifts and faults appeared, and the earthquakes caused tsunamis. Thirteen coastal cities were destroyed, and the casualties are uncountable!"
"According to the satellite reports, His Excellency Black Star is fighting with the enemy in the ocean. The storms and tsunamis caused are approaching the other continents, and the intensity is still increasing. They will hit the continents in about three hours. The countries have already started emergency evacuations."
"An hour ago, eleven new earthquake sources appeared in various locations around the world. The severity and range of the earthquakes are still increasing. According to calculations, in ten days, 24.7% of the land in the world will be affected by earthquakes."
"Also …"
Bennett listened to the reports one after another and paced around anxiously. This was completely different from the Mutation Disaster. This was a natural disaster that could not be solved.
"Send out rescue teams and try to support the affected areas. At this time, don't worry about the Six Nations."
Bennett gave the order decisively. After a pause, he could not help but ask,
"How long until the disaster affects Black Star City?"
Black Star City was located inland, so the disaster would not reach it anytime soon.
An official swallowed and said with fear, "According to the mathematical model calculated by the research institute, if His Excellency Black Star continues to fight, the severity of the disaster will increase exponentially. In another four hours and thirty-five minutes, the chain of disasters they caused will exceed the critical point …"
"What will happen if it exceeds the critical point?" Bennett's heart skipped a beat.
"… Unless we leave this planet, we can only wait for death."
