The head and the body fell to the ground one after the other, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The killing has begun again.
Almost simultaneously with King Kong's instant death, the base's defense system was fully activated.
"Enemy attack, open fire, take him out."
"Avenge Boss King Kong!"
Dense beams of energy rained down on Chen Yuan from all directions, while automatic plasma turrets, sentry machine guns, and dozens of elite space pirates rushing out of the base instantly wove together a deadly barrage of fire.
Faced with an attack powerful enough to tear a small army to shreds, Chen Yuan remained as calm as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.
"Perfect, I'll use you guys to test the performance of the new suits."
With a thought, the Loongson 10 nano-core suit responded in full.
Chen Yuan's figure blurred again, transforming into a streak of blue lightning. His speed was so great that he left behind clear afterimages in the same spot.
The space pirates could only see a streak of silver-blue light leaping across the battlefield, unable to lock onto it at all.
At the same time, nanoparticles flowed from Chen Yuan's arms, instantly transforming into two slender pulse pistols.
He doesn't even need to aim deliberately; the trajectory is calculated entirely with the help of the Loongson chip.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
A series of condensed pulse beams shot out at incredible angles, each one precisely hitting a space pirate's armor, energy core, or weapon interface.
Those hit by the bullets were either killed or maimed, instantly losing their ability to fight, while the bullets they fired couldn't even touch the hem of Chen Yuan's clothes.
A squad leader, hiding behind cover, carried a man-portable rocket launcher on his shoulder and fired a high-explosive rocket with a trail of flame.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his left arm horizontally, and the nanoparticles quickly gathered into a small diamond-shaped energy shield.
"boom!"
The rocket struck the shield and exploded violently, the flames and smoke instantly engulfing Chen Yuan's figure.
"Hahaha...hit!" The squad leader's face lit up with joy.
However, when the smoke cleared, Chen Yuan remained suspended in place, his energy shield intact.
The energy deflection and absorption capabilities of nanocores far exceed expectations.
"What kind of monster is this? Use your abilities to take him down!"
Another leader shouted, possessing the ability of rock skin, his entire body covered in hard rock, and led several agile space pirates to attack from the flank, intending to engage in close combat.
Chapter 227 Butcher Sal
"Can you withstand this sword strike?"
Chen Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold. The pulse pistol in his right hand instantly disintegrated and reassembled, transforming into a molecular pyrolysis sword burning with dark red energy flames.
He smiled slightly, met the charging rock-type ability user, and swung his sword.
Without a loud crash, the Molecular Disintegration Sword sliced through the air with ease, cleaving the opponent and his rock armor in two.
The cross-section is as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by the most precise instrument.
At the same time, nanoparticles surged in Chen Yuan's left hand, transforming into a multi-barreled rapid-fire electromagnetic gun, which he fired a burst at the agile space pirates who had circled around to the back.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The specially made metal spikes shot out at several times the speed of sound, creating a metal storm that instantly turned the men into sieves. Their pride in their speed was meaningless in the face of overwhelming firepower.
Watching his men fall like wheat being harvested, a burly man who seemed to be one of the leaders turned red with rage. He activated his ability to amplify gravity, and an invisible force field enveloped Chen Yuan, attempting to crush him to the ground.
Chen Yuan merely raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing the pressure on his body.
"Gravity manipulation? Interesting, similar to my electromagnetic gravity field."
At that moment, the nano-core behind Chen Yuan suddenly lit up, and countless tiny particles shot out, quickly combining above his head to transform into a multi-barrel rocket launcher.
Nanocore bursts, armor-piercing barrage, fire in salvo!
"Shhhhhhh!"
Dozens of incredibly powerful nano armor-piercing projectiles poured out like a swarm of bees, instantly covering not only the area where the gravity user was located, but also the remaining bunkers and automatic turrets in the vicinity.
"Boom boom boom!"
The continuous explosions echoed through the base entrance, flames soared into the sky, and smoke filled the air.
When the explosions stopped, only craters and debris remained in the area; the gravity user and everything around him had vanished.
The entire entrance area of the base fell into an eerie silence for a short period of time.
All that remained at the scene was the crackling of burning flames and the faint groans of a few seriously injured people.
Chen Yuan slowly descended from the sky and stood in the center of the chaotic battlefield. His nanosuit was spotless, and his energy channels flowed smoothly.
He looked around, and all the remaining space pirates hiding behind cover further away were terrified and retreated, none daring to step forward.
By scanning the entire base's structure with the Loongson chip, Chen Yuan pinpointed several areas deep within the base where the energy reactions were most intense.
"The initial testing is complete, and the performance is about what I expected."
Chen Yuan muttered to himself, as if he had just done a simple warm-up exercise.
"Well then, it's time to go see the person in charge."
Chen Yuan strode forward, ignoring the terrified gazes, and walked slowly into the depths of the base.
……
Deep within the base, in a command center converted from an abandoned ship's bridge.
The Butcher, Sal, paced irritably, his massive, two-and-a-half-meter-tall frame causing the metal floor to tremble slightly with each step.
The conflict with "Junk King" Jock a few days ago caused him to lose many of his capable subordinates and equipment. At this moment, he is like a volcano that may erupt at any time.
Sal was thinking about how to make up for those losses.
Suddenly, the piercing alarm and the violent explosions outside acted as a fuse, and he completely lost it.
"What the hell is going on again?"
Thrall, in a fit of rage, grabbed the giant energy warhammer leaning against the wall, his eyes bloodshot.
Just then, a space pirate scrambled in and reported in a panic, "Boss, something terrible has happened! A guy we've never seen before has broken in! He killed King Kong, and the other brothers have suffered heavy casualties. He... he's coming this way."
"What? Alone? Are you all just sitting around doing nothing?"
Sal was taken aback at first, then boundless rage completely overwhelmed his reason.
The frustration of losing manpower, the humiliation of being provoked, and the incompetence of his subordinates instantly drove him into a berserk state.
"No matter who he is, I'm going to smash him into mincemeat!"
He didn't even bother to ask who the visitor was or why. His tall body smashed through the reinforced glass of the command room and shot out like a cannonball.
……
Just as Chen Yuan finished clearing out the swarms of soldiers at the base entrance and was preparing to venture deeper, he sensed a terrifying aura filled with wildness and violence rising from the center of the base.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure, moving at incredible speed, with a whooshing sound as it tore through the air, landed abruptly on the open ground not far ahead, smashing the ground into a shallow crater.
The newcomer was none other than Thrall the Butcher, a late-stage Tier 6 warrior!
He was covered in the heavy armor of the Shatterer, which was covered with animal fur and bone ornaments. He held a spiked bone shield in his left hand and a giant energy warhammer that emitted a dangerous red light in his right hand.
Blood-red steam rose from the gaps in his armor, a manifestation of his beastly power and bloodlust, his abilities fully unleashed.
"You worthless wretch, you dare to cause trouble on my turf? Die!"
Sal gave Chen Yuan no chance to speak, his eyes bloodshot as he roared and launched an attack.
"trample!"
It raised its giant foot and stomped it hard on the ground.
"boom!"
A shockwave ten times more powerful than when Vajra unleashed its power erupted, causing the earth to churn like waves, and countless enormous earth spikes, like fangs, pierced out from beneath the lunar soil, covering an area of several hundred meters around Chen Yuan.
The entire base shook violently under this foot.
Faced with this near-catastrophic area attack, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the nano-core jets on his back and legs emitted a strong, eerie blue light.
"Whoosh!"
His figure instantly broke the sound barrier, creating a white sonic boom cloud, and shot into the sky at an almost vertical angle, avoiding the huge spikes protruding from the ground and the surging seismic waves.
The dust on the ground was whipped up by the air blast, like a small sandstorm.
"Want to run?"
Seeing that his attack had missed, Sal pointed his warhammer at Chen Yuan in the air, overloaded his leg thrusters and spewed out thick flames, launching a fearless charge towards Chen Yuan in the air with the posture of destroying everything.
Its speed was so fast that it left a series of afterimages in the air.
Chen Yuan steadied himself in mid-air and, instead of retreating, advanced as he watched Sal hurtle towards him like a blood-red meteor.
"If the strength meets the standard, then we'll use you to test the actual combat data."
He silently chanted in his mind, and the nanoparticles in his arms instantly boiled and transformed.
Thrall's energy hammer, carrying immense power, stirred up the wind and clouds as it crashed down.
This single blow is enough to smash a small base into a pancake.
Nanoparticles gathered on Chen Yuan's right arm, condensing into a long, dark energy cutting spear that shimmered with high-frequency vibrations.
The spear tip struck the warhammer's force at the moment of contact.
"Keng!"
A piercing, tearing sound of energy ripped apart exploded.
Thrall felt the force from the warhammer shift, and his attack, which had gathered all his strength, was somehow guided past him by the opponent's skillful use of force.
The sharp energy of the cutting spear even left a deep burn mark on the heavy hammerhead of the warhammer.
"How is that possible? My weapon is made from meteorite!"
