Unfortunately, it was all he could do now. Sun Yang followed the Iron Blood troops, deploying a large number of transport and attack drones. The attack drones supported the battlefield, while the transport drones loaded up valuable alien alloy fragments, transuranic crystals, transuranic cores, and various intelligence resources, returning to Sun Yang before delivering them to Griffin Base for safekeeping.

The battle was no longer tense. The alien offensive was gradually slowing down, and Sun Yang even wondered if he and his troops had almost exhausted the alien reserves. According to statistics from the two Iron Blood prototypes, A001 and Z001, they had killed nearly ten thousand aliens in the battle, most of whom died when the supporting columns fell.

Ten thousand or so is a lot, but also a little... Honestly, even if they were spread out across the globe, they wouldn't be enough to do anything. At best, they'd be enough to protect a city. Could it be that the elders couldn't even muster such a small number of people?

But Sun Yang thought again, XCOM was also raiding the other two Chosen Fortresses at the same time, and in other cities, the rebels who had received upgraded weapons were frantically making trouble and beating up the mutant forces. Those automatic target-tracking grenades alone were enough for them to bear.

Perhaps the elders were really short of troops and couldn't even spare the strength to retake their hometown.

The Iron Blood Puppet Army pushed the front line to the center. Although the Iron Blood Army's casualties increased sharply due to the appearance of the original, Sun Yang's blue bar was still relatively healthy. In addition to replenishing ammunition, he would also add new puppets and support units.

The new Iron Blood Puppet was connected to the command network as soon as it landed and joined the battle.

The aliens employed a strategy of adding fuel to the fire, and so did Sun Yang. However, the fuel the aliens added wasn't good. They were always outmatched by Sun Yang's attacking forces. The alien forces continued to retreat, their reinforcements becoming increasingly scarce.

"Is it my illusion? These alien troops seem to be delaying time?" Sun Yang looked at the iron-blooded troops in front of him who were still using a large number of rockets and missiles to beat the aliens.

At first, they relied on numbers and weapons to fight head-on, but now they were just taking a one-sided beating, with only the occasional plasma jet indicating they were still fighting.

Whoosh! Several more missiles flew by, striking a device on the bottom of the ship. After the device was shattered, Sun Yang suddenly felt much lighter.

[Commander, we're losing gravity!] A001 immediately gave the order, having all Iron Blood troops activate their rear thrusters and, when using heavy weapons, make sure allies around them hold on to themselves and the handrails.

"What the hell? I thought we were still under the influence of the earth's gravity. It turns out there's a device simulating gravity! Don't penetrate the battleship's armor plate, we won't be able to adapt to the environment of space!" Sun Yang shouted hurriedly. He grabbed a drone with thrusters and followed the main force.

The sudden weightlessness threw both sides of the battlefield into a state of confusion. However, the aliens, perhaps trained in space combat, quickly adjusted themselves and retreated into cover.

But the Iron Blood side was much more difficult by comparison. The Iron Blood troops could only shoot from a few railings, and all missiles and rockets were directly disabled because the Iron Guards and Jaguars flew into the air and circled after firing only two rounds.

"Charge, charge, charge! Don't engage in long-range gunfights! We don't have the conditions for that. The Jaegers continue to provide long-range support, and the rest of the troops charge forward! A001, release those raiders!"

Sun Yang shouted, then cast a large magic shield and a severe sweating spell on himself. He then changed to a fire stone ring and raised his fire resistance to the maximum. After doing this, he let an iron-blooded puppet hold him and push forward.

463 Cleaning Up the Mess (Part )

The Iron Blood Puppet immediately activated the propulsion device behind it and rushed out with Sun Yang. In a zero-gravity environment, these propulsion devices can provide a considerable degree of acceleration.

The other Iron Bloods also formed their own formations, with the Wasps holding the Holy Shield at the front, and the Wasps holding plasma weapons and laser weapons following closely behind.

The aliens fired at Sun Yang with plasma weapons, but unfortunately, the damage was still bearable for Sun Yang who had full buffs.

He shook the Holy Bell to restore himself, then crushed two dripping stones and easily withstood the attacks shot at him.

The sparse defense line formed by these aliens soon collapsed. The Iron Blood troops that followed threw out the raiders they had found from the Fallout world.

These machines, which are specially designed for close combat missions, caused great chaos to the alien forces as soon as they appeared.

The melee weapons in the Raider's hands cannot quickly eliminate the aliens, but her extremely fast movement speed and short-term super-strong output can easily knock the mutants to the ground.

The device on her head, after quickly charging, could release a high-energy laser that was extremely threatening to all aliens. The mutant screamed and hit the raider's head, and the surrounding troops also shot at the raider's head.

The range of this laser is very short, but this is not a flaw for the Raider. It is designed for close combat, and its equipment only needs to quickly eliminate the enemy.

The raider suddenly raised his head and turned it in a circle, and the high-energy laser also swept 360 degrees, and the unprotected snake soldiers died on the spot.

However, the huge Berserker relied on his thick skin and flesh to hold on, and the remaining Andromeda aliens and mutants also held on thanks to their thick armor.

"Roar!!!" The Berserker, who had been completely useless before, roared and knocked the attacker away, then pounced on him and smashed him with his huge fists and extremely powerful muscles.

These berserkers are even stronger than the irradiated super mutants in terms of physical performance. A large area of ​​their exoskeletons was burned by the laser, but they did not flinch. Instead, it made them more violent and wanted to tear everything in front of them.

Lacking the Saturn Alloy's protection, the Raiders tried to kill the Berserkers with their arm weapons and head lasers, but the two sides didn't interact well. Before the next round of lasers could recharge, the Berserkers clenched their fists and smashed the Raiders' arms, completely tearing them apart and dismembering them.

A large number of raiders were destroyed by the alien team, and almost none were left. However, dealing with the raiders also made the alien team lose precious time and distance to counterattack.

It only takes a few seconds for them to meet and deal with the attackers, but it also takes a few seconds for the Iron Blood Golems to rush in and destroy them with plasma weapons.

The Iron Blood puppets relied on their thrusters to advance rapidly in the weightless environment, and these troops would soon be wiped out. They lacked psychic gates for support, and the aliens no longer had the advantage in terms of manpower.

Sun Yang held his head which was aching slightly, and drank another bottle of mixed potion to replenish his blue bar which was about to be depleted.

He had already drunk several bottles of potions in this battle, repeatedly using them up and restoring them. Even with his current strong body, he could hardly hold on.

But it looked like the battle was nearing its end. The elders seemed to have given up their last-ditch struggle. Most of the remaining alien forces were forced to gather together and hold on for dear life, while a small number of aliens planted bombs on the last few psychic gates and then charged in without looking back.

Boom! A few seconds later, accompanied by a small explosion, the last few psychic gates were also blown up.

It seems that the elders don't intend to let me leave here. They think I must go through the psychic gate to leave here. Sun Yang looked at the alien troops with determined faces and just shrugged indifferently.

If the alien elders thought he would be trapped and die on the ship, then that was fine. Sun Yang didn't mind pretending to be dead for a while, then secretly doing something big.

It's just trapping me on a spaceship, no big deal. I'll grab my stuff and leave. Don't bother you.

"Commander, I'm detecting a high-density signal input. Antonina is analyzing the signal. Antonina requests access to the communication." A001 suddenly reported to Sun Yang.

"Connect. Antonina, have you analyzed anything?" Sun Yang leaned against the wreckage, picked up a nuclear mortar, set it on a bridge and fired at the opposite side.

A spectacular explosion erupted within the spaceship, and the remaining alien forces let out wails. Sun Yang could feel his radiation levels rise significantly. However, radiation sickness and its aftereffects had little to do with an immortal like him.

[Professor! This is the Elder's self-destruct command for the spacecraft! This spacecraft will overload its engines and power core! Professor! Get out now!] Antonina sent the decoded alien psychic encrypted communication records to Sun Yang.

"No rush... I mean I'm a little anxious, but you don't have to be so anxious. A001, Z001, transmit combat data... Okay, I'll continue searching." After Sun Yang spent a few seconds backing up the combat records of the Iron Blood Puppet, he hurriedly sent out more drones to recycle high-value garbage.

"Ha... I knew it would be like this. Do you really want to die on this spaceship, Professor? Are you going to waste a human like that?" Antonina complained.

"Don't worry, just watch me micro-manage... You can still run away at the last minute. As long as you're stealing enough, you can keep stealing. Stealing once is fun, and it's fun all the time."

While Sun Yang was talking nonsense, he issued new orders. He ordered the Iron Blood Puppets that had been lurking near the Warlock Chosen Fortress to start the attack.

The elders should send people to recycle the resources. After all, the fortress is useless without the Chosen One. It would be better to pack up the things inside and use them elsewhere.

Sun Yang had originally intended to just prevent a sneak attack, but it seemed his decision to leave behind a few soldiers worked out well; at least they could help take down the Chosen Fortress. If nothing else, the aliens inside the Chosen Fortress were undoubtedly terrified. The elders would undoubtedly destroy the psychic gate immediately to prevent their home from being discovered.

By then, we can easily deal with the stubborn aliens and get a basically intact fortress of the Chosen One.

"By the way, Antonina, can you reverse-locate the source of this psychic signal? If you could just open the box directly, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Sun Yang's hands moved very quickly. The surrounding drones sent back a large amount of alien metal fragments. The full boxes were filled in the blink of an eye, and the empty boxes were placed back on the drones every two seconds.

"No, that's impossible. M4 and I have tried this, and these elders are extremely cautious about their lives. They're also aware of the Resistance's improved electronic warfare capabilities, so they've invested heavily in the most advanced encryption. The last location we retrieved is from the largest alien psychic tower, which is also the most heavily defended location."

Antonina responded sincerely.

464 The elders tried to open champagne at halftime

"Commander! We've wiped out all the alien forces! Waiting for further instructions." A001 reported to Sun Yang, hanging on a collapsed corridor.

There were no living aliens left on this alien spaceship. Although the outer shell was not damaged much, the interior had been torn to pieces.

If humans in the future want to re-use this spaceship, it is estimated that only the hull can be used, and the garbage inside...all the useful garbage has been recycled by Sun Yang, the garbage man.

Oh no, that spaceship is about to explode. I guess humans will have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the metal junk in orbit... This is the necessary price to pay for dealing with aliens! Just be happy if you can win!

[Warning: The ship's power core is heating up. Immediate evacuation is recommended.] Z001, the Jaeger prototype connected to a drone and scanned the engine room.

"What a pity! I also want to own a spaceship that can fly. This spaceship has a really large space... I wish I had enough power to move such a large spaceship in the future." Sun Yang touched the wreckage inside the spaceship with regret.

"Professor, you can't do that. This ship is powered by a constant supply of energy from countless transuranium cores, just like the Avenger... This uranium ore isn't the kind used for nuclear power, but rather refers to energy crystals from outer space," Crocchie said, appearing.

"All? Damn, can I dig it out..." Sun Yang wanted to dig out the crystals in the spacecraft's power unit.

"No, taking it out rashly will definitely cause it to explode. We're amateurs dismantling a nuclear fusion reactor, so don't expect me to figure it out right now. I'm not Doraemon. Anyway, Professor, this is a non-renewable resource. With our current reserves, we can only build one more Avenger, and we can't replenish it later."

Kroki became excited when he heard Sun Yang mutter this.

After all, all Griffin's equipment had to be approved by Kroki before it could be produced. If she said no, it meant that all the scientific researchers under Sun Yang were also not qualified.

"Tsk. What I hate most is the non-renewable resources that are too scarce and cannot be mined. All units gather around me, the battle is over! A001, Z001, I will upload your mental data to the puppets in the Warlock Chosen Fortress, and the command of the ground forces will also be handed over to you. Your new task is to keep as many supplies as possible in the Chosen Fortress, and at the same time eliminate the enemy!" Sun Yang issued a new order.

Unlike tactical humanoids, Iron Blood puppets didn't differ in armament or physique. While each Iron Blood puppet produced on the production line might differ due to development, changing the data package essentially meant changing the person.

If I were to use a more accurate analogy, it would be the fierce miner Kaldaris, a Protoss unit in StarCraft 2. Its hardware is no different from other mechanical units, but because it possesses a vast amount of combat experience, its combat efficiency is much higher than other units.

After being killed, they will transfer to a nearby unit of the same type to continue fighting. There are even special proficiency skills that enhance combat efficiency after being killed, which is very powerful.

The same goes for A001 and Z001. They have actually been broken many times in battle, but because Iron Blood has a special network mode, every time they die, the two prototypes will be transferred to other Iron Blood puppets to continue fighting.

The two prototypes, both with good combat and command abilities, agreed, and their data was immediately extracted and downloaded to the combat team of the Chosen One's Fortress.

[The power unit is nearing the point of meltdown.] Sun Yang sent this diligent Iron Blood puppet back to the base and hid it in a corner without any cameras.

He then grasped the feather the green-robed girl had given him, and Sun Yang turned into a ball of ash. His body transcended the barriers of space, and the power of the primordial fire sent Sun Yang to the ground. Even the most powerful creatures could not glimpse this return process.

***

A minute after Sun Yang evacuated, the spaceship's engines, now littered with naked alien corpses and metal debris, overloaded. The alien transuranic crystals burst forth with astonishing energy.

The entire spacecraft exploded and scattered, and large pieces of metal debris facing the earth flew into the atmosphere. Most of them were consumed in the air, and only large enough pieces remained.

The remaining large pieces of the spacecraft's hull either orbited the Earth, never coming to rest until they hit another vehicle, or flew off into space.

As for the interior of the spacecraft... nothing was left. The aliens' bodies were vaporized in a matter of seconds, and the metal debris inside was completely destroyed after being directly exposed to the power of the explosion. There was no way anyone could miraculously survive this situation. The debris entering the atmosphere was not large enough for anyone to hide.

At least from the alien elder's perspective, Sun Yang had no chance of survival. Furthermore, this guy hadn't demonstrated any teleportation abilities—if he could teleport anywhere, he'd have teleported all over the world killing aliens. Why would he have followed the XCOM plane?

Based on this, the elders speculated that the psychic master named Sun Yang did have some shortcomings in teleportation technology.

In a secret base filled with various alien creations, the surviving elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the spacecraft explode.

They saw through the monitor that Sun Yang ran into a remote room in panic and hid there. A minute later, the spaceship exploded.

According to calculations, the room would be blown into outer space, and the psychic master named Sun Yang would never have the chance to return to Earth. He would die from lack of oxygen and hypothermia in space.

[Finally, we've sent this disaster away!] An alien elder breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've paid a heavy price. A Chosen One, an elite force that survived 20 years ago, and most importantly... our mothership." Another elder struggled to conceal his dejection.

We still have a chance. The forces remaining on Earth are no longer a threat. Our cloning factories are still there, and the most important ones have yet to be found. We still have an overwhelming advantage. Without supplies, those machines won't last long.

"They can't hold out much longer! They've looted dozens of arsenals, and XCOM has already deployed our weapons! They've returned to their peak strength of 20 years ago...even stronger than they were then! Everyone! We're at a critical juncture! We're about to lose this war! And you're still gloating over this!" the third elder said excitedly.

XCOM can only rely on that old ship to produce weapons and ammunition. We still have the advantage in manpower. This organization without a solid foundation can't last long. This time they relied on that Psionic Master to win, but next time there will be no Psionic Master to help them.

They'll soon be able to defeat us without even needing a Psyker! Allocate your resources to destroying XCOM. If this continues, our surface forces will be completely destroyed before our avatars are created. Don't forget, there's still a female combat psyker loyal to XCOM.

"We still have two Chosen Ones. Let them deal with them... Huh? What's going on? This is impossible!"

As the elders shifted their attention to the Chosen Fortress, they discovered that both fortresses had also been breached—even the now-ownerless Warlock Chosen Fortress had been assaulted by a swarm of robots. With much of the equipment destroyed, the elders could only monitor the battle through the remaining cameras.

Simply put, the remaining troops transporting supplies were killed by these robots carrying plasma weapons.

They weren't the elite troops supporting the spacecraft. These aliens carrying supplies weren't good with their guns and had little combat awareness. They were fine against the resistance, but they collapsed when faced with the Iron Blood Army.

[Support! Support! We can't lose another Chosen One!] The elders immediately frantically micromanaged and issued orders. However, considering the elders' micromanagement skills, it was a relief that the alien troops were able to support them in time.

[Can we teleport them to this base? We need to preserve these living forces!] One of the elders unleashed a massive amount of his own spiritual energy. Although this would bring him one step closer to death, he couldn't care less now.

[No, a powerful psychic energy has enveloped these two fortresses... It's that traitor! The XCOM commander!]

[Its spiritual energy isn't enough to sustain it for long! Defeat it! Rescue the Chosen One!] The elders immediately reached a consensus, and the two sides began to fight in the air.

***

"Hehehe... It's worth it that I've been nurturing and storing up my psychic power. What can you old losers have to fight me?" At this time, on the XCOM command flagship, Commander Lunna was lying flat on a bed covered with detectors.

Ever since she awakened, she had anticipated the day she would need to battle these alien elders, and so she had been developing her psychic powers. In fact, even among the entire XCOM psychic operatives, and even the entire Templar Order, there was no psychic user more powerful than Commander Lena.

While single-handedly resisting the Elders' siege proved difficult, Lena was, after all, a legitimate, young Aetherial Elder. Her youthful form, combined with greater vitality and potential, allowed her to temporarily withstand the attacks of the alien Elders. Lena could even unleash her psychic energy to block the Chosen Fortress's teleportation function while directing XCOM's battles.

But no matter what she said, Commander Lena's body was not strong, and she could not wantonly display her destructive psychic power on the battlefield - after all, just one sniper bullet could take her life, no matter how good she was at psychic power.

Psychic power isn't something like a hexagonal magnetic field, so its effect on the physical body is negligible. The physical strength of the chosen ones was acquired through alien transformation and has nothing to do with their psychic powers.

Lunna's blood pressure and heart rate were rising. From a higher-dimensional perspective, unobservable to humans, a young elder was locked in a struggle with several other elders. Similar psychic powers were colliding with each other.

"Hold on, hold on a little longer!" Lena murmured to herself. The medical assistants around her were injecting some auxiliary drugs according to Lena's physiological reactions to make her feel more comfortable.

But she could still hold on for quite a while. Originally, her psychic energy was to be used to deal with the three Chosen One Fortresses, but now that Sun Yang had taken on one, there were only two left, so Lunna's psychic energy reserves were much more redundant.

Furthermore, according to the combatants' reports, the Hunter Chosen Ones seemed to have little hostility, which undoubtedly greatly reduced Commander Lunna's burden.

However, Lunna couldn't figure out what this hunter was up to. According to the combat logs, this hunter never revealed anything after a fight, and it seemed that much key intelligence hadn't been reported.

For example, the elders did not know that Sun Yang could be resurrected by the spiral sword, nor did they know how strong Rukatiye's combat power was. They just speculated based on the battle situation that Sun Yang's psychic power was extremely strong.

Because the only person who actually fought these two and survived... was the Hunter Chosen One, all the other mutants and aliens were killed.

If the alien elders knew the specific function of the spiral sword, they would immediately launch a rocket to send the spiral sword into space. They would also definitely send more troops to deal with Rukatiye instead of acting so foolishly.

Clearly, the Hunter wasn't particularly loyal to the Elders; it only bowed to the powerful. And Sun Yang, more than the Elders hiding behind the scenes, fit its definition of a strong person.

***

Damn it, he can’t be killed by a single railgun shot, he resurrects instantly after finishing off a hit, and using all kinds of weird abilities is as easy as drinking water. Isn’t it better to follow such an awesome character than to follow an elder who is about to die?
