Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 186 Counterattack

I rely on!

Ye Xiu's pupils shrank sharply, and he instantly activated spatial jump to appear in front of Hong Jin.

As his lightning armor snapped shut, he unleashed a devastating kick aimed straight for his opponent's vitals.

Bang!

A shockwave exploded in front of Hongjin's groin, and he hurriedly stepped back to block, managing to leave a blur of motion as he did so.

Hela knelt on one knee, supporting herself with half of her lower leg, while Aurora's right arm, severed at the root, was spurting blood.

But then the blonde girl rubbed out holy light with her left hand and pressed it against her companion's wound. The two people's missing limbs visibly regenerated.

"You guys go first," Ye Xiu said.

"Hmm." Hela nodded, knowing that there was really no point in her staying.

She immediately took Aurora and, with a few leaps over the rubble, disappeared into the horizon.

Their brief exchange had made them realize that this level of combat was simply beyond their ability to intervene.

"So this is the kind of monster he faces every day."

Hela glanced back at the battlefield, a rare hint of anxiety appearing on her usually cold and aloof face.

"Fortunately, the healer's skills have been upgraded." After confirming that the two sisters had been safely evacuated, Ye Xiu's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Although these two girls are only average in combat, their survival skills are complementary.

Instead of pursuing, Hong Jin transformed the black tide around him into dozens of venomous pythons that pounced on him.

Ye Xiu dodged while sneering: "Using civilians as bait to force me into a direct confrontation? That's a despicable tactic."

Suddenly, a screen of light appeared in my field of vision:

[The urgent mission "Planet Defense" has been activated!]

[Dark Star Fleet is bombarding in orbit. Please hold out until reinforcements arrive.]

[Current damage value: 167/3000]

[Failure Condition: Aquamarine Star is reduced to scorched earth]

At the same moment, all the players on the planet looked up.

The menacing assault ship fleet on the orbit was unleashing a barrage of fire, the ground shields and the blue-purple beams of the railguns intertwined to form a net, and the mercenary group's warships roared into the sky.

"What the hell? Why the sudden raid?" Countless players cursed and grabbed their weapons, but their bodies betrayed their true intentions as they charged toward the battlefield.

Another line of scarlet notification floated before Ye Xiu's eyes:

[You have triggered the exclusive quest "Death Hunt"]

[The three top-tier assassins of Dark Star have locked onto you]

[Escape or death in battle are both considered mission failure]

[Reward includes Legendary Points +1]

Seeing the three rapidly approaching red dots on the radar, Ye Xiu laughed in exasperation: "Trying to gank in a Star Destroyer, and you call that assassination?"

The shelter's defense system is fully activated; his task now is to prevent reinforcements from arriving.

Tear this redhead in front of me to shreds!

……

Bang bang bang!

Dark particles rained down on the protective shield, causing the ground to tremble.

Ye Xiu hurriedly brought up the system interface, and without even looking at it, he poured all the experience points he had accumulated into leveling up.

We've been busy dealing with players lately, and haven't released many new skills. We simply don't have enough experience to reach level 140.

With powerful enemies all around, we can only take what we have. There are two more guys of similar level waiting behind us; we need to deal with this redhead quickly.

My experience points are plummeting.

[High-level Psychic] Reached Lv11, Strength +150, Agility +3, Endurance +3, Mysticism +6, gained 6 free attribute points and 1 potential point.

The experience bar was emptied instantly, and the level number jumped six levels in a row, finally settling at 136!

Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning struck the black barrier of crimson embers.

The diamond shield shattered into dust and quickly reformed, while Crimson Ember's forehead veins bulged as he clenched his teeth tightly.

Even with natural disaster-level defense and resistance, such intense bombing will inevitably lead to disaster sooner or later.

"Damn it! I'm being suppressed?!" His eyes were almost bloodshot. "How am I supposed to avenge my son?"

Suddenly, black, misty carbon dust rose up from all around and merged into his barrier in the blink of an eye.

The black wave, originally within a hundred-meter radius, instantly expanded several times, with its outer layer continuously crystallizing into diamonds to withstand the attack.

Inside the protective shield in the distance, Hela held Aurora and watched nervously.

Ye Xiu is right; she can't possibly get involved in such a battle of the gods.

Nagojin Zhen was leading his fleet in a fierce battle against the Dark Star warships in the sky, while Caroline and the others, following Ye Xiu's instructions, led the player group to provide support towards the six kingdoms.

As for Ye Xiu's clone, it should be arriving soon, right?

……

Suddenly, alarms blared, and countless Dark Star assault ships appeared on the horizon, several times more numerous than before!

"It's over, the enemy's main force has arrived!" someone shouted, and everyone's face turned pale.

Just as Ye Xiu was about to cleave Hong Jin in two with his sword, two powerful pressures suddenly descended from the sky.

Hong Jin was panting heavily as he backed away; in just a short while, his back was completely soaked.

If we keep fighting, we'll really be finished here. But for now...

"Well done, redhead, you finally managed to keep them here." Degulish cracked his neck, his energy surging wildly.

On the other side, Terry patted his chest, and the nanosuit instantly covered his entire body.

Hong Jin wiped his sweat and sneered, "You do have some skills, but it's three against one now!"

He was eagerly anticipating a look of panic from the other party, but to his surprise, Ye Xiu drew his sword and slashed without saying a word.

"The space jamming device won't last long; we need to finish this quickly!"

As soon as Terry finished speaking, three figures pounced on Ye Xiu from different directions. Meanwhile, his clone was still desperately rushing towards him from afar.

……

At this time, the cities of the six kingdoms were being bombarded by the Dark Star assault ships.

Without Ye Xiu to hold down the defense line, the streets were scorched by artillery fire, and charred, curled-up remains could be seen everywhere.

The tank units fired wildly at the air fleet, shells exploding into plumes of black smoke on the energy shield, but even armor-piercing shells could only create tiny ripples on the shield.

The warships swept across the battlefield unscathed, and wherever they passed, black smoke had not yet dissipated before new explosions erupted.

The laser cannon pierced through the tank armor like a hot knife through butter, and the metal behemoths exploded into fireballs one after another from the inside.

Faced with the overwhelming technological superiority of interstellar civilizations, the resistance of human armies appears utterly powerless.

The fighter jets charged forward under heavy fire, and the wreckage of those shot down fell with trails of black smoke, but the follow-up waves continued to advance.

Aliens are threatening to wipe out the entire planet. The pilots know there is nowhere to escape, but the alien disaster actually ignites the fighting spirit in the human race.

Even if it's like throwing an egg against a rock, we must fight to the last breath.

In the command center, the generals stared at the ever-increasing casualty figures, their throats dry with bitterness.

They have experienced countless wars, but never have they felt such despair.

Watching the soldiers risk their lives to fill the gaps, while the enemy couldn't even scratch off the paint, this sense of powerlessness gnawed at everyone's heart.

For months, the gap in civilization level had been a nightmare, but now it had finally manifested as a tangible humiliation.

It's like a child being humiliated by a strong man pinning him to the ground; no matter how much he struggles, it's all in vain.

A turning point came when reinforcements arrived at the shelter. The mercenary group, along with a large number of superhumans, joined the battle.

Although they couldn't turn the tide of the battle, they managed to hold back some of the enemy ships.

When the commanders saw the iconic alien armor streak across the sky, their tense shoulders finally relaxed a little.

This mysterious visitor from outer space became the last straw for the weak planet.

Above the shelter, the number of enemy ships had increased several times over. The protective shield trembled violently under the saturation bombardment, cracks spreading like a spider web.

Nagokin led his troops to put out fires everywhere; he could smash through the shields of an assault ship with his bare hands and blow up a warship with a few punches.

But the burly man kept glancing toward the war zone where Ye Xiu was.

When he discovered that Degruish had appeared with two Cataclysmic-level powerhouses, he almost abandoned his defensive line and rushed to provide support.

Only after Ye Xiu reassured him through the communicator that he could "rest assured" did he grit his teeth and continue fighting.

Although she couldn't understand where the mercenary got his confidence, she swallowed her worries, knowing that he never did anything that didn't benefit him.

Inside the protective shield, civilians huddled together, gazing up at the energy dome that seemed poised to collapse at any moment.

When ground troops attempted to dig underground for a surprise attack, hundreds of thousands of players instantly overwhelmed them.

As the seemingly invincible "Fourth Calamity" charged forward with howling cries, the Dark Star soldiers clung desperately to the hatch, refusing to land.

Only a fool would engage in close combat with these resurrection maniacs!

Most players were struggling to reach the aerial fleet and were getting impatient when they were suddenly drawn to the earth-shattering sounds of battle in the distance.

Countless people turned their heads in unison, only to see flames shooting into the sky above Ye Xiu's battle zone. Their eyes lit up, and they grabbed their equipment. Wasn't this more interesting than blowing up a spaceship?

……

"Damn it, how can this alien be so ridiculously strong? We can't fight them at all!"

Before the three could recover from their shock, a muffled rumble like thunder suddenly came from the horizon, as if a vast army was approaching.

Looking up, a massive army of players was surging towards Ye Xiu's battle zone. These guys, who couldn't handle the space warships, had all come to watch the spectacle.

Although they were all novice superhumans, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of people.

The latest novel is first published here!

Not to mention that many of them have already broken through level 60 and completed racial evolution, with all sorts of bizarre and grotesque enhanced forms that are dazzling to behold.

"You're courting death. I'll clear the area. You guys hurry up and deal with that alien monster."

Hongjin suppressed the horror in his heart, his knuckles making a crisp cracking sound.

He snapped his fingers habitually. Snap! Snap! Snap!

The charging crowd fell like harvested wheat, turning into streaks of white light as they returned to the respawn point.

This elemental decomposition technique is practically an unsolvable killing move; no matter how many opponents there are, it's all in vain if the opponent's strength is inferior to his.

It was precisely because of this overwhelming combat power that he was transformed into a weapon of war by Dark Star. It is said that his highest record was killing 80 million people in a single day.

White light flashed across the base's resurrection plaza, causing an uproar among the newly resurrected players.

"Holy crap! I died without even touching the boss's clothes!"

"Another elemental decomposition? This damage number is outrageous!"

"It seems that newbies like us are simply no match for high-level games."

"This is definitely a forced plot-driven death, no doubt about it!"

This argument quickly gained acceptance, since no one wants to waste their six weekly resurrection opportunities.

The crowd simply gathered at the edge of the battlefield and became spectators, just like when they watched the faction war in version 1.0 and the final battle of the alien prototypes last month.

Speaking of which, major events have been happening one after another on the Aquamarine server.

Many story-driven viewers have begun to analyze that this global crisis is likely a transitional storyline for graduating from a beginner planet.

As the leader of the faction, Alien will likely make a strong impression in this event, paving the way for future interstellar chapters.

Although the specific developments are still unclear, many players are already rubbing their hands in excitement just thinking about unlocking the universe map.

……

At that moment, the clone finally arrived.

Ye Xiu's eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately had his clone cooperate with him to launch a counterattack.

The pressure on the three members of Red Ember instantly increased.

"No, we can't win."

"Hurry up and go."

The three members of the Crimson Ember Clan were shocked. They hadn't expected that not only would the decapitation operation fail, but their own lives would also be in danger.

Although the three wanted to run, it was obviously impossible against Ye Xiu's army of clones. Their injuries continued to worsen, and their health points dropped rapidly.

hum!

Lightning flashed on the Night King's sword, and then it severed Red Ember's head.

The other two were shocked by what they saw and had no intention of seeking revenge on the spot.

For a moment, I only regretted that my dead legs were too slow.

[Congratulations on killing Red Ember. Do you wish to replicate its abilities...?]

……

Meanwhile, in the outer space of Aquamarine Star, the commander of the Dark Star Fleet's expression changed drastically after witnessing the battle.

The adjutant suddenly strode forward to report:

"Sir, abnormal fluctuations have been detected in the surrounding space. The Godora Fleet has forcibly broken through the interference and is providing orbital support through the jump base station."

Enemy reinforcements are continuously pouring in; we must evacuate immediately.

"Return to base immediately!" Seeing the Red Ember fall, the commander gave the order without hesitation. After Terry and the others boarded the ship, the entire fleet quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

On the ground battlefield, Nagokin stared blankly at Ye Xiu, his heart churning with turmoil.

The Dark Star's surprise attack on Aquamarine Star involved sending three Cataclysmic-level combatants, but instead of suppressing their target, they lost a key general.

He could almost foresee the upheaval this news would cause in the Shattered Star Ring.

The control panel suddenly popped up with a barrage of prompts:

[The Crisis on Aquamarine Star: Mission Completed!]

[A total of 62 experience points have been earned]

[Garden System Reputation +2]

[The alliance relationship between the six nations of Aquamarine Star has been raised to 1500]

[Assassination target achieved!]

[Gained 1210 million experience points]

[Garden Galaxy's popularity increased by 30 points]

[Godora's favorability with the faction has exceeded 1000]

[Added 1 point to Legendary Trait]

After scanning the task settlement information, Ye Xiu estimated that his popularity was about to experience a second surge.

This battle should boost his reputation in the Garden System to the "Well-known" level. Even more noteworthy is the newly added system-level legendary status:

[Legendary Deeds in the Garden Galaxy: A Three-Way Hunt. Facing the combined attack of three A-level powerhouses, you not only successfully killed one of them, but also proved your strength to the entire galaxy.]

This controversial legend is sure to spark widespread discussion, and your fame will spread to every corner of the world along with the wake of your starship.

Compared to the 5% boost to planetary-level legendary status, the 12% boost to galaxy-level legendary status is a significant improvement.

Even more exciting is the new dungeon option added to the system:

[Battle Log: The Defense of Aquamarine]

This, along with the previous "Campaign: The Might of the Dragon Throne," belongs to the special instance category, signifying that the legendary nature of this battle has been certified by the system.

By the time the reward matters were finished, the Godora fleet had landed one after another.

The commander strode over with his men: "Sorry for being late. The space jamming device delayed our journey. What's the situation now?"

The commander's tone turned serious as his gaze swept over the crater formed by the main gun's bombardment.

"They failed." Nagokin emphasized Ye Xiu's performance when summarizing the battle.

Upon hearing of his heroic feat of fighting three calamities single-handedly and killing one of them, all the Godora warriors present were shocked.

The surrounding ruins of the battlefield silently testified to the devastation that had just occurred.

At this moment, inside the Godora command center, the high-ranking officials are closely monitoring the battle reports.

What they truly cared about was not the survival of Aquamarine, but the safety of the key figures involved in the intelligence transaction.

When they first learned that Ye Xiu had been besieged by three Calamity-level enemies, everyone had prepared for the worst, but they never expected to receive such a mind-blowing battle report.

Even the seasoned elders of Godora, who had seen it all, were shocked by this extraordinary and formidable strength.
