Great, we're doomed now!

"Humph!"

No one knows what he did, but suddenly a circular spaceship in the sky shed its optical camouflage and shot a green laser towards the alley, with a power far exceeding that of a single soldier's weapon.

The injured woman looked up and saw this scene. She struggled to get up and tried to push Ye Shou away, yelling, "XXXXX!"

However, her warnings and efforts were all in vain; Ye Shou remained unmoved, while Xin Cheng reacted instinctively and dodged.

boom!

The laser collided with some kind of invisible barrier midway, a semi-transparent barrier like a prism that diffused it into countless beams, completely dispersing its power and only causing a gust of hot wind to rise around it.

"Um?!"

We underestimated the natives of this planet!

The sinister man took a half step back. He didn't know what had just happened, but when traveling and encountering things he didn't understand, he had to be extra careful. He immediately ordered the spaceship's AI to fire a traction beam, pulling his body back into the spaceship. The spaceship then spun around and was about to fly away.

- Om!

A strong wind, accompanied by a bright light, blew debris from the alleyway, and newspapers slapped Xincheng's face, leaving him looking utterly disheveled.

Interestingly, Lucia, who was at the other end of the alley with a wall behind her, should have been subjected to more concentrated wind pressure and heat, but she seemed to be fine, while New Town, which was farther away, was blown over.

"What happened!" Xincheng was hit on the head and winced in pain.

After he threw his things aside, he looked up and saw a silver mecha hovering in mid-air, its blue tail flames disrupting the light and shadow. With a sudden acceleration, it broke the sound barrier and chased after the direction in which the Muzhen aliens had fled!

"Bayeli? Pursuing the enemy without knowing the situation? That doesn't fit into your own battle manual, Captain!"

Shinjo quickly pulled out his communicator: "Headquarters! Headquarters! We've located the target! Captain Kuze is currently tracking an illegally intruding alien spaceship!"

After ending the call, Xincheng felt something was off... He suddenly remembered that when Bayeli appeared earlier, his blue eyes seemed to have "glared" at him.

No, no, no, how could that be!

That's a Gundam, after all. No matter how good the AI ​​or support system is, it can't possibly be that humane.

Besides, I haven't offended it...

Chapter 374: I'll definitely bring it down to keep you company! (Bonus 4K chapter)

【XXXXXXX】

A series of jumbled radio waves suddenly entered Bayeli's communication channel. Ye Shou's eyes were locked on the Muzhen Star spaceship in front of him, and he received the information while adjusting the thruster power.

After Bayer's rapid adaptation and adjustment of the main system, the chaotic signal was transformed into a clear image projected onto the auxiliary screen, which was surprisingly in English, albeit with a slightly mechanical electronic tone.

[Armed personnel from Earth, I am a bounty hunter from Planet Muzhen, hunting down a fugitive. I have no ill intentions toward this planet. Requesting that we establish communication and end the combat status as soon as possible.]

"What crime did that woman commit?"

Continuing to lock onto the other party, Ye Shou asked calmly, unmoved.

[...rebellion.]

After hesitating for a moment, the Wood-Pure Starman said:

She and her brother are remnants of a rebellious tribe. For the safety of my home planet, I must execute them both.

"Really? But I don't think you and her are the same species."

Ye Shou sneered, "Why do you use the word 'rebellion' to describe another intelligent race?"

She and her tribe betrayed...their diplomatic agreement with us.

"Then let me ask you, what are the specific terms and conditions?"

"So you're determined to meddle in this?"

The Wood-Piercing Starman immediately changed his demeanor, his eyes bulging outwards, making his already cold expression even more terrifying.

I have already shown you full respect, but you still insist on infringing on my legitimate rights!

These brother and sister are prisoners of war, or so-called slaves, whom I purchased through official channels; the bracelets are proof of that. Their lives are under my control. Your planet should also uphold the inviolability of private property, right?

If you are determined to wage war against me, then this planet will also become an enemy of my race!

No civilization would declare war on a powerful alien civilization just to protect two unrelated people, so the Muzhen aliens were very confident that Ye Shou would definitely give up.

Hunting is an ancient tradition of our planet Jupiter. If you try to stop me, I can send Earth's coordinates back to our home planet at any time.

"Oh?"

Ye Shou's eyes lit up: "Your home planet? How far away is it?"

【? 】

Ye Shou's reaction was completely different from what the Muzhen alien had imagined, leaving him bewildered.

Before he could continue speaking, Ye Shou tapped the control panel with his fingertip, cutting off the communication. He then closed his eyes, merging his mind with his body.

hum!

The thrusters behind Bayeri spewed out pale blue gas streams, with golden ripples at the very edges, resembling a dazzling aurora borealis when viewed from the ground—a truly beautiful sight.

The machine's speed suddenly increased, disappearing into the void like a silver lightning bolt, and locking onto the alien spaceship ahead like a falcon!

The Muzhen aliens' spaceship wasn't particularly large. After negotiations with Ye Shou broke down, he activated the emergency procedures, causing the power engines to overload and provide even greater acceleration. In the blink of an eye, it sped across the sky, breaking through the city zone in just a few seconds and then crossing the continuous mountain range.

The ship cleaved a narrow gap in the clouds along the way, and as Bayeri drew ever closer, a transparent halo suddenly appeared on the surface of the spaceship. Optical camouflage and all-around electromagnetic shielding were activated, and the massive body gradually disappeared into the clouds, vanishing completely from sight...

Inside the Jupiter spaceship:

The control room looked extremely spacious, with metal walls gleaming coldly and various instrument screens flashing complex data.

The sinister Wood-Zhen alien stood before a one-meter-tall alloy cylinder, his withered hand slowly sliding across its surface. His fingertips hovered over the cylinder, illuminating the areas where they touched with a faint green light, precisely adjusting the spaceship's trajectory.

He deliberately changed direction and entered silent navigation mode. The natives of this planet had not even left the star system and had no way of detecting his location.

However, that native just now... blocking the laser with his bare body is nothing special, he could do that too. But to block the laser so precisely in an instant, that speed is truly frightening.

You see, back then, he was standing at the entrance of that alley, facing Lucia on the other side. There were no other passages on either side, and this person just appeared out of nowhere, without him even being able to see where he came from...

"This planet seems to be more complex than it appears."

The Wood-Pure Starman shook his head: "Let's avoid this place when choosing a hunting ground in the future."

"Hunting Ground" is the name the Muzhen Star people use for their native planets, specifically referring to those primitive civilizations that have not yet developed into interstellar civilizations.

The Muzhen aliens possess advanced technology and are also highly aggressive. They attack and enslave weaker civilizations, and trade with slave traders in the universe. They then place prisoners of war and purchased slaves in "hunting grounds" for hunting games.

The "hunting ground" is also very particular. Nobody likes a desolate planet with a harsh environment. A hunting ground like Earth, which is full of life and has indigenous people, is the best.

If, during the hunt, it is determined that the local level of civilization does not exceed the "warning line," the Muzhen aliens are happy to escalate the game and turn it into an invasion of the entire planet.

Each large-scale game is a carnival for the entire planet Muzhen. Some particularly wealthy planets can even satisfy their entertainment needs for about ten years.

However, this time it seems to have gotten a bit out of control. Earth's technology level isn't particularly impressive, but the local natives seem to possess some strange power...

“Slave Number One (Lucia) has already been protected by the natives. In that case, let’s go back after killing Number Two (Zara).

Having made his decision, he repeatedly surveyed the surrounding airspace to confirm that no aircraft were following him. His tense mood eased slightly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.

—Bang!

Just then, the entire spaceship suddenly began to shake violently, and the man almost fell over. The control panel emitted a piercing alarm, and red warning lights flashed wildly on his face.

"Warning! The top armor has been subjected to a high-intensity impact!"

As soon as the security system's alert sounded, the startled Muzhen alien quickly brought up the external screen, his pupils suddenly contracting—

A silver-white humanoid mech stood steadily on top of the spaceship, its smooth lines gleaming with a cold luster. A golden longsword shone brightly, its incredibly sharp blade deeply embedded in the spaceship's armor, the edge still trembling slightly, countless sparks flying from the crack.

"When did he catch up? How come we couldn't shake him off!"

The Wood-Pure Starman's eyes hardened, and he spun his hand sharply on the alloy cylinder.

The spaceship suddenly flipped upside down in mid-air, then spun around violently, attempting to use inertia to fling Bayer away from the hull.

Bayeri was pulled off the ship's surface by this bizarre maneuver, his body circling halfway through the air. Before he could regain his balance, the thrusters on his back suddenly erupted with intense light, and a deep blue shockwave instantly expanded, its exhaust flame blooming into a dazzling cloud of light in the atmosphere—

The mecha vanished from its spot in an instant, its sturdy frame withstanding the absurd torque, managing to push its speed to the limit even in an unbalanced posture.

It appeared in front of the spaceship in the next second, and in the blink of an eye, it had overtaken the out-of-control and falling spaceship!

The sonic boom arrived belatedly; compared to the silver mecha's incredible speed, the sound waves seemed so slow.

The golden sword that was originally held in one hand is now held in both hands, with azure blue nanocrystals embedded in the blades and crackling electric arcs dancing on the surface.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Bayeli gazed into the distance without making any move, when suddenly a sharp sword light appeared, crisscrossing across the surface of the spaceship.

The armor, capable of space travel, was now being sliced ​​open as easily as paper, with clean cracks spreading across the hull...

In the blink of an eye, the massive spaceship disintegrated like a tuna, breaking into several pieces that crashed into the ground, plunging into the forest and knocking down countless trees, leaving trails of billowing black smoke along the way.

boom!

A violent explosion occurred on the ground, sending billowing red clouds into the sky and filling the mountains and fields with smoke and dust.

Amid the chaos, a small escape pod shot out from the billowing black smoke remaining in the air, its tail thrusters spewing out pale purple gas as it attempted to break through the atmosphere and escape.

Upon seeing this, Bayeri's shoulder armor instantly rose, and deep blue energy condensed at the muzzle—

Bang!

The electromagnetic gun accurately hit the escape pod, causing the outer shell to shatter instantly. The pod crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, kicking up clouds of dust.

Just then, the ground suddenly trembled violently, as if some enormous thing was about to burst out of the earth, and a terrifying shadowy outline emerged from the thick smoke of the explosion.

With a dull thud as rocks crumbled, a massive body slowly emerged, appearing terrifying like a demon shrouded in flames and smoke. Its thick, broad form resembled a small mountain that had been overturned.

Its body is covered with a thick keratin layer, and its back has shell-like protrusions. Although it walks upright, its limbs are relatively thick and short, and it exudes a heart-palpitating sense of oppression when it moves.

[You native! You asked for this—]

"Eight-point halo!"

The high-frequency vibrating light blade instantly sliced ​​through the atmosphere, passing by the Muzhen alien. A huge gash appeared in its abdomen, and a large amount of blood gushed out, covering the forest with a stench within seconds.

"hold head high!!!"

"..."
