Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

The team's adjustment period began the moment they left the 026 barracks base.

The E9-class spaceship piloted by Yue may seem unremarkable, but it is an absolute treasure in terms of stealth. Ordinary squads' detectors simply cannot detect it, allowing the team to avoid frequent harassment from low-level enemies.

Its detector was discarded by the Flame Moon King in his early years, but even so, its performance far exceeded the limits that ordinary immortal teams could imagine.

The detection range and accuracy of this detector are in no way inferior to the standard models used by the mechanical race's king-level powerhouses.

The spaceship silently traversed the complex environment surrounding the Shattered Star Abyss Secret Realm, an environment composed of countless shattered stars and turbulent energy flows.

Inside the command cabin, a huge energy projection was unfolding in front of Lin Yuan, Yue, and Ren, clearly marking all life and energy fluctuations detected within a radius of one billion kilometers centered on the spaceship.

"At the ten o'clock position, about 870 million kilometers away from us, there is a small team of demons." Lin Yuan pointed his finger at the projection, and the information flow unfolded. "Among them are two Marquis Immortals, whose divine power reactions are respectively primary and advanced, and five advanced military lords."

Judging from the scale of the divine bodies detected so far, neither of these two conferred titles is particularly large, not exceeding one kilometer... but this is precisely the problem.

He turned to look at the blade and explained, "In the battlefields beyond the realm, the divine bodies of demons who are granted the title of Marquis are generally enormous, especially those members of royal or imperial families, whose divine bodies are often several kilometers or even tens of kilometers long."

The fact that a Marquis with a divine body of ordinary size is being presented here is most likely due to tactical considerations, where a more powerful ally has been hidden in the World Ring.

The variables they face are too great, so this team is not suitable as our initial training partner.

Ren nodded silently, noting down these experiences.

"At the three o'clock position, about 650 million kilometers away, there is a Zerg mother hive." Lin Yuan pointed to another marker, where a large number of World Lord-level life forms were converging, with a powerful but not immortal-level soul fluctuation at the center.

"This is a World Lord-level Queen."

The Queen herself is extremely dangerous, especially since she is capable of leading her legions in high-level combat zones; she must be a genius among the Zerg.

What's more troublesome is that we can't determine through the detectors whether she was carrying an immortal-level Zerg warrior bestowed upon her by her clan elders as a protector.

If we get bogged down by the guards and then encounter a combined attack from her controlled legion, we'll be at a significant disadvantage, so she's also unsuitable as an initial target.

"In addition, there is a small team of the Rock Ant Clan, a subordinate race of the Demon Clan, at the one o'clock position. It consists of four Immortal Military Lords and seven or eight Realm Lords." Lin Yuan skipped over the detailed information of this team. "They are too weak to achieve the purpose of training and testing in actual combat."

Finally, his finger stopped on a metallic-looking dot in the projection: "This team... is just right."

Information shows:

It is a standard four-person squad of the Mech race, consisting of one initial-level Marquis and three high-level military lords.

The spaceship is an F-class vessel, a common configuration for the Immortals of the Mech race.

They are conducting some kind of exploration or collection operation on the edge of a relatively calm asteroid belt.

"The Mechanical Race squad," Lin Yuan said to Ren, "their strength is just right, and the Mechanical Race immortals are generally very wealthy. Their alloy armor, the technological weapons they carry, and that F-class spaceship are all good spoils of war."

Blade's gaze sharpened, clearly showing interest in the target.

"The plan is simple." Lin Yuan began to deploy. "Our spaceships are not as capable as theirs, so we can't slowly sneak over them. We must use dark space travel to directly attack them."

I will act immediately and suppress that newly appointed Marquis as quickly as possible.

Yue will be responsible for controlling the other three high-ranking military leaders, sealing off the space around them to prevent them from supporting each other or self-destructing.

He looked at Ren: "Then, Yue will release those three high-level military lords one by one for you to deal with, gradually increasing the number based on your combat performance. We want to see your true combat strength and adaptability."

Ren took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Understood."

The Flame Moon King's clone stood quietly to the side from beginning to end, maintaining his aura at the peak of the Marquis level. His eyes beneath the mask were calm and still, as if he had everything under control.

"action."

The spaceship silently disappeared into the dark universe, speeding towards the preset coordinates.

……

Shattered Star Abyss Secret Realm, on the edge of a desolate meteorite belt.

A F-class pyramid-shaped spaceship with cold, hard lines and a metallic sheen is hovering.

Inside the spaceship, the immortal electronic eyes of four machine race members flashed with regular light as they analyzed data on a rare mineral that had just been collected, completely unaware of the sudden misfortune that was about to befall them.

Suddenly, the void less than 100,000 kilometers away from them began to fluctuate violently.

An E9-class spaceship leaped out of the dark universe like a ghost, and the huge spatial disturbance caused the alarms of the machine race spaceship to sound shrilly instantly.

"Enemy attack! It's a human squad!" The mechanical race's Marquis-level expert Ironwall reacted at lightning speed, controlling the spaceship to instantly enter combat mode. The outer armor plates were stacked up, revealing the menacing muzzles of the cannons.

The three high-level military commanders immediately took their positions with their daggers, steel-cracking weapons, and heavy hammers, and the weapon systems began to charge.

However, they were fast, but the other was even faster!

A blazing blade of light descended the instant the mechanical race's spaceship completed its turn, precisely locking onto Iron Wall, a newly-level Marquis-ranked expert who was just preparing to engage the enemy.

This strike was as swift as lightning and as ferocious as fire!

Based on Lin Yuan's most familiar work, "Blazing Blade," the system has matched you with a science fiction novel category. Click to view details. Simultaneously, the sword technique was upgraded and optimized while creating the Flaming Dragon Spear Technique.

Although not at the top level, the self-created secret technique that best suits him is as powerful as the killing move of a high-level expert who has been granted the title of Marquis.

Combined with the Burning Sky Battle Blade, which was made primarily from the Great Thunderclap Temple's precept knife and forged with the world's top-grade divine iron, the power of this strike reached its peak!

"Blazing Blade - Meteor Shower!"

The strike was too fast; Iron Wall only had time to cross his alloy arms in front of him to protect himself and activate his divine power to form a rhombus-shaped energy shield.

However, the terrifying tearing power contained in that blade of light instantly annihilated his shield layer by layer!

boom--!!!

Blinding flames and turbulent energy burst forth in the starry sky. Iron Wall's divine body, which was covered by precious alloy armor and was strong enough to withstand multiple attacks from a high-ranking Marquis, was completely cleaved and destroyed by this one strike!

But the title of immortality is not given lightly—as long as the life imprint is not erased and the divine power is not exhausted, the divine body can be instantly reconstructed.

Almost at the same instant the aftershocks dissipated, countless points of light converged from the center of the explosion, and the iron-walled divine body reformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, just as his consciousness began to clear slightly from the shock of being blown apart—

"It's not over yet!" Lin Yuan's figure followed closely, giving the other party no chance to catch their breath.

The Blade of Burning Sky was raised once more, slashing down with an even more concentrated aura of destruction!

The second blow is imminent!

boom!

The newly formed iron wall was shattered by a single slash!

God reunited...

The blade flashes again!

Another bombshell!

……

Lin Yuan's tactics were simple and brutal: using his superior explosive power, he would blast his opponent apart again in the instant before the opponent could even form a complete thought.

This cycle repeated itself, relentlessly dragging the opponent into a vicious cycle of constant physical depletion while their consciousness remained impaired.

Don't give the other side any chance to self-destruct!

At the same time, Yue made her move.

She did not leave the spaceship, but simply gave a gentle handshake to the three high-ranking military leaders who were either trying to rush towards Lin Yuan or attempting to control weapons to support their master.

hum!

The spatial structure within a radius of thousands of kilometers changes, becoming as viscous as solidified colloid.

The three high-ranking military leaders of the mechanical race felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire of infinite density, making every movement incredibly difficult, their divine power sluggish, and even their thoughts slowed down.

They attempted to detonate their own divine cores, only to be horrified to discover that even the speed at which this thought was transmitted was subject to unimaginable delay.

This is something that ordinary peak-level Marquis-level officials could not possibly achieve.

"Could the other party be a King-level expert?"

Unfortunately, they no longer have the chance to think about it in detail.

"The first one." Yue Qing's cold voice rang directly in Ren's consciousness.

Immediately, among the three mechanical race military leaders who were confined by space, Thorn felt a sense of relief throughout his body.

The terrifying sense of stillness vanished, but he was gently pulled away from his companions and transported to an area thousands of miles away from the center of the battlefield.

There, a realm lord wielding a long sword was staring intently at him.

"Lord of the Realm?" The processor of the Blade analyzed the situation before it, and a surge of grief and indignation at being extremely humiliated welled up in its heart. Although the mechanical race did not have real emotions, the simulated logical judgment pointed to the same result.

"Humans! How dare you look down on me like this!"

He instantly judged that the person in front of him was most likely a peerless genius of the human race, sent to the outer battlefield for training.

And he himself was used as the other party's whetstone and sparring partner!

"Then let's die together!" The dagger was no longer held back, and the armor plate on the chest suddenly opened, revealing a complex weapon core that flashed with a dangerous red light.

This is one of his trump cards, a one-time high-energy annihilation cannon, powerful enough to severely injure or even kill an unsuspecting novice Marquis.

He aimed it at the blade, and the light at its center instantly surged to its maximum.

"Annihilation Light!"

A dark red beam, only a few meters in diameter but extremely solid, tore through space and struck the blade.

The moment the beam was fired, Blade was already prepared to self-destruct while the opponent dodged, he wanted to make the opponent pay the price for underestimating him!

However, faced with a strike that would put even ordinary newly appointed marquises on high alert, Ren's eyes grew even sharper.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, raising his long sword, causing countless ripples to spread through the space around him.

"Thousand Blade Domain!"

Countless golden sword shadows appeared out of thin air, instantly intertwining to form a sword domain that contracted inward and annihilated everything.

The destructive dark red beam of light was sliced ​​and weakened layer by layer by countless sword shadows. Although the sword domain itself was also violently shaken by the beam of light and had countless cracks, its power was ultimately reduced by more than half.

The blade dodged the residual energy impact and appeared in front of the dagger in the next moment.

"break!"

With a low shout, thousands of sword shadows converged into one, transforming into a dazzling golden sword beam that pierced through the core of divine power in Thornblade's chest!

Click!

The electronic eyes of the thorn blade dimmed, its divine body structure collapsed, and its life force completely dissipated.

The high-ranking military commander of the mechanical race, who was not immortal, perished on the spot under this sword strike.

Ren was slightly out of breath; this sword strike had taken a toll on him, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. This feeling of fighting to the death with a powerful alien was completely different from the previous sparring within his own clan.
