In the distant starry sky.
Within the remains of a planet embedded with Spaceship fragments, there was a team from the Mechanical Race camp, though the team itself did not contain any Mechanical Race members.
This squad consisted of one Immortal and nine World Masters, all appearing as deep blue-skinned octopuses with countless tentacles on their heads. Clearly, they were a team composed of the same race.
If Ender were here, he could easily identify these squad members as the Xuyu Race, a common race belonging to the Nine Territories Alliance.
One Xuyu Race World Master spoke, asking the only Immortal in the squad, "Captain, what should we do now? Are we still going to make a move?"
"Make a move? Make what move?!" The Xuyu Race Immortal said irritably, "Even if you can temporarily rival an Immortal, the other side has three Immortal-level combatants. Didn't you see that massive World Master who could suppress the Immortal from the Zerg camp?"
The Xuyu Race World Master honestly replied, "That World Master's strength is indeed very strong. Very few Humans can rival an Immortal, and even fewer can suppress an Immortal. I am not his opponent."
"Good that you know." Seeing his clansman nod, the Xuyu Race Immortal propped himself up with his eight suction-cupped tentacles and said, "Let's go. While the Human squad is tied up by the Zerg squad, we should quickly withdraw."
"Yes, Captain."
The Xuyu Race World Masters nodded in agreement, quickly getting up and following their Captain to withdraw. They also did not want to provoke this powerful Human squad.
...
In the Endless Starry Void Battlefield.
A spear, over forty meters long, swept horizontally, its Law secret patterns activated, emitting a strong dark green light.
Swish!
With the sweep, the Universe space was torn apart, and a long, dark rifts appeared, extending all the way to the Immortal of the Zerg camp. Everything floating along the way was annihilated.
Boom!
As the spatial rift extended, its basic power, comparable to a preliminary Marquis, carrying the might of Space Law, struck the Immortal, instantly causing blood to flow and one of his limbs to break.
This Immortal from the Zerg camp was not a member of the Zerg Alliance, but rather from a small race in a distant Universe. However, its form was quite similar to the Zerg, resembling a cockroach, nearly four meters tall.
"Damn Human World Master!"
Injured, the cockroach-like alien Immortal roared in despair internally, "How can this Human World Master be so powerful? He can actually suppress me, an Immortal, with his World Master body. He definitely possesses the combat power of a high-level Military Lord-level Immortal, or even a Pinnacle Military Lord-level Immortal."
"Fortunately, he is a World Master, and his efficiency in annihilating my Immortal Divine Power is extremely low, otherwise I would be killed by him very quickly."
The cockroach-like alien Immortal felt a glimmer of relief, but that glimmer of relief was immediately drowned out by his current predicament, simply because his body was severely injured.
Although the Human World Master's efficiency in annihilating Immortal Divine Power was low, the attacks he unleashed were extremely powerful. In just a few seconds of combat, he had broken several of its limbs, affecting its ability to use movement techniques to dodge, causing it to suffer more attacks subsequently.
Boom!
The spear swept in, tearing through Universe space, successfully striking the cockroach-like alien Immortal's left forelimb. Although it wasn't severed, it was incapacitated for a short period, preventing it from using its shield to block.
"It's over, I can't hold out for rescue!"
With its left forelimb damaged, the cockroach-like alien Immortal grew even more desperate. Before, it could barely rely on its shield to block attacks, but now unable to use it, it estimated its Immortal Divine Power would soon be completely depleted.
"Die!"
Lightning Flash roared, his battle saber gleaming with light, as he charged forward and directly cleaved.
With the idea of striking while the enemy was down, he launched a fierce offensive, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
Every saber slash was as fast as lightning, and the Immortal Divine Power and Law might imbued on the saber caused small rifts to appear in the Universe space. However, under the Universe's self-repair, the rifts quickly healed.
Although Universe space could repair and heal, the cockroach-like alien Immortal could not recover its Divine Power as quickly; its Divine Body continuously decreased!
94%!
91%!
88%...
Under the combined attacks and suppression of Ender and Lightning Flash, the cockroach-like alien Immortal's Divine Body quickly lost over 10%!
When its Divine Body loss did not exceed 10%, its strength was minimally affected, but as the Divine Body loss exceeded 10%, its strength rapidly declined, quickly dropping to 80%.
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
The cockroach-like alien Immortal shrieked desperately, "Human Immortal! If it weren't for you having a World Master comparable to a high-level Military Lord-level Immortal helping you, you might not be my opponent!"
"Tch!" Lightning Flash sneered disdainfully, "Alien, are you very unwilling?"
Although he was transmitting his voice, the battle saber in his hand was still slashing rapidly, its attack frequency and intensity showing no signs of decreasing, even becoming faster and stronger.
"That's right! I'm unwilling! So unwilling!"
The cockroach-like alien Immortal roared via voice transmission, "Why?! You Humans have such vast territory, while we can only huddle in a continent within a Secret Realm, struggling to survive!"
"Why?! You Humans have so many resources, while we can only rely on countless clansmen fighting for their lives to obtain a few scraps!"
"Why?! You…"
Boom!
Before the cockroach-like alien Immortal could finish speaking, Ender's spear slammed down violently, striking the opponent's body with immense force.
The terrifying power caused its body's carapace to shatter, and blood and body fragments splattered. However, under the effect of the Immortal Divine Body, all body parts slowly recovered and healed. It was just that without an Immortal Body, the recovery speed was extremely slow.
"Your complaints and grievances here are, in the end, merely the wails of the weak!"
As Lightning Flash replied, the Immortal Divine Power on his battle saber surged, and powerful Law fluctuations condensed.
At this moment, he burned his Immortal Divine Power, and his attack power increased ten to a hundredfold compared to before!
"Why?!" Lightning Flash sneered, striking with his saber, "Because we Humans are a Pinnacle Race! The vast and boundless Universe territory and countless precious Cultivation resources were all obtained by our Human powerhouses through fierce battles and struggles in wars against billions of races!"
Swish!
The saber light flashed, and even longer spatial rifts were cut, their edges perfectly smooth, with no spatial fragments falling off.
The brilliant saber light swept across the cockroach-like alien Immortal's body. With no shield to block and its armor already shattered by Ender's attack, it bore the brunt of this strike's immense power.
With just one saber strike, the cockroach-like alien Immortal's Divine Body was annihilated by the terrifying power, instantly losing 2% of its Divine Body.
Swish!
Another saber strike was unleashed, and the brilliant saber light flashed past, easily sweeping across the cockroach-like alien Immortal's body, causing it to lose another 2.1% of its Divine Body!
Strike after strike, Lightning Flash's relentless offensive after burning his Immortal Divine Power caused the cockroach-like alien Immortal's Divine Body to continuously decrease.
"Human Immortal!"
The cockroach-like alien Immortal roared frantically. As its Divine Body continuously diminished, its aura grew weaker and weaker.
Soon, its Divine Body loss exceeded 30%. With less than 70% of its Divine Body remaining, its strength fell to less than five-tenths, and its aura weakened to an astonishing degree.
Lightning Flash then said to Ender, "Atlas! Use the Cloud Vine!"
"Hmm?" Ender, who was in the midst of a spear attack, asked somewhat puzzled, "Didn't you say that this battle wasn't primarily about you? Why do I still need to use the Cloud Vine?"
"Uh… I just burned my Immortal Divine Power, and now my Divine Body has lost 4%." The Lightning Flash, who had just been so domineering, now said somewhat awkwardly, "If we keep fighting like this, my body loss will be even greater. It's not worth it to waste over 5% of my Immortal Divine Power just to kill this ordinary Immortal!"
"Ha… who told you to be so headstrong." Ender first teased, then his voice became slightly serious, "Move aside, I'll leave the rest to the Cloud Vine."
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, Lightning Flash didn't say another word, and with a flash, he directly withdrew from the battlefield.
Just as the cockroach-like alien Immortal was still wondering why Lightning Flash, who held an absolute advantage, would hastily withdraw from the battlefield, a terrifying aura that made it tremble suddenly rose!
"Cloud-Caressing! Smash him!"
Swish!
As Ender's command was given, several golden vines emerged from beneath his dark green battle armor, and then these golden vines rapidly grew and extended.
In an instant, they had grown and extended to several kilometers long, and then fiercely slammed down on the cockroach-like alien Immortal.
Faced with such a swift and fierce strike, the cockroach-like alien Immortal had no time to dodge and was directly hit.
Boom!
Struck by one blow, the cockroach-like alien Immortal immediately spat out fresh blood. Its previously somewhat recovered injuries worsened, and its Divine Body damage exceeded 6%!
"This… what in the world is this thing! An Immortal plant life form?!"
Seeing that it had only suffered one attack and its Divine Body damage exceeded 6%, the cockroach-like alien Immortal was greatly alarmed. Before it could even look, it was struck again.
Boom!
A massive golden vine slammed down, the golden vine exuding a terrifying Immortal pressure, smashing the cockroach-like alien Immortal's Divine Body into pieces, with blood and limbs splattering!
"How is this possible! How could this Human World Master possess such a terrifying Immortal plant life form?!"
The cockroach-like alien Immortal was utterly desperate. It faced a relentless assault from a plant life form that surpassed an ordinary Immortal. Its Divine Body was rapidly consumed, and its body was fragmented, unable even to self-detonate.
"No!"
Only managing to let out a single roar of unwillingness, the cockroach-like alien Immortal fell into a deep slumber with one strike from the golden vine, and then was shattered and perished with another strike!
"Alas, what a pity."
Lightning Flash, from afar, saw the cockroach-like alien Immortal fall into a deep slumber and then be shattered and killed with another blow, and immediately felt regret.
If he could capture another Immortal, his dream of establishing an intermediate universe country and becoming a local emperor would be one step closer.
"There's nothing to regret." After Ender put away the Cloud Vine, he transmitted, "Life and death on the battlefield are instantaneous. Unless your strength is such that you can instantly subdue your opponent, it's better to kill them if you can."
Ender finally asked, "Besides, don't you think this alien Immortal is very ugly?"
"Ugly?" Lightning Flash recalled for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded, "By the aesthetic standards of our Human Race, that alien Immortal is indeed very ugly."
"Alright, let's go." Ender transmitted, "Captain and the others have already dealt with those World Masters."
Lightning Flash looked over upon hearing this, and saw that Fortress and the others had already killed all the World Masters of this Zerg squad, and seemed to be organizing the spoils of war.
"Let's go."
He said, flying towards Fortress and the others.
"Let's withdraw and move to another location. The battle just now caused quite a commotion, and it might have attracted the attention of other camp squads."
Seeing the two arrive, Fortress took out an E9-level Spaceship, opened the hatch, and entered first. Ender first switched to his formal attire, then followed him into the Spaceship.
After everyone entered, the E9 Spaceship started and sailed into the distance. As the Spaceship gradually moved away, some targets that had been observing this area shifted and disappeared.
...
Inside the F9-grade metal lounge of the navigating E9-level Spaceship.
Ender handed the spoils of war obtained from killing the alien Immortal to Captain Fortress, who would assess its value and distribute it.
After assessing the spoils of war, Fortress began to distribute them, saying, "This time, by killing that Zerg camp squad, we collectively obtained 302 Mixed-yuan Units."
Lightning Flash mumbled, "Only 302 Mixed-yuan Units? This Zerg camp squad is a bit poor."
"It's normal to be poor. Didn't you hear that alien Immortal say that their race has been struggling to survive in a Secret Realm?" Ender said, "For races that have always lived in Secret Realms, the meaning of their powerhouses fighting and struggling outside is mostly to contend for resources for their race. It's normal for them to have little personal wealth."
"That's true." Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Ender's words.
In the Universe, whether a race can obtain resources depends entirely on its powerhouses fighting for their lives. This is why stronger races become stronger, and weaker races find it harder to rise.
Unless a Genius with extraordinary talent and Heaven-Defying Opportunity is born, it is very difficult for a small race to rise.
Seeing that everyone was no longer speaking, Fortress continued, "In this encounter, Lightning Flash and Atlas contributed the most. However, since Atlas killed the enemy Immortal, he should receive a larger share of the spoils."
"So, Atlas will receive 40% of the spoils, Lightning Flash 30%, I 20%, and you all will receive the last 10%."
After listening, everyone had no objections to the distribution of the spoils, and all nodded in acceptance.
Seeing that the team members had no objections, Fortress turned to Ender and said, "Atlas, you are the first to choose the spoils. Do you want cash or the spoils themselves?"
Ender replied, "I choose the spoils. I want that alien Immortal's weapon, and I'll make up the difference."
The most valuable item on the cockroach-like alien Immortal was a mace-like weapon, worth approximately 180 Mixed-yuan Units. He chose this weapon and needed to make up some cash.
The reason he chose this weapon was because the material used for the weapon was good; it contained a relatively precious g-grade metal, and he would definitely profit if he separated it.
"Alright, next is Lightning Flash…"
Fortress turned to the others, continuing to distribute the spoils of war.
...
At this very moment, far away in the Mechanical Race Barracks Base, the Mechanical Race Immortal Sarin was conversing with someone...
