Terror Infinity - Volume 20 - Chapter 13.1

Chapter 13.1

The actual aliens did not have much screen time in the original movie . They were mostly in spaceships and the Destroyers in the battles and their ground forces were few . However, the aliens in this movie had air dominance and the spider like machines on the ground, which were better fitting to the name of Harvesters, a race that drove other species to extinction .

Zheng unleashed his attacks the instant the spaceship landed . He worried the space outside was a vacuum but since Xuan had left the spaceship already, the environment should be suitable for survival . Indeed, he stepped into an environment with air, although this air smell absolutely foul . It was still breathable and could keep them alive .

The spaceship stopped on top of a spacious platform lined with numerous spider machines on the sides . The aliens inside the machines obviously didn’t react to Zheng’s appearance for a second, allowing him to dash in front of a machine with Soru before the rest of them raised their guns . Zheng sliced through the five-meter-tall spider machine with his crimson sword . The machine collapsed into metal pieces and the pieces exploded in the next second . The fire from the explosion spread out to a ten-meter area then gradually died down . A one meter deep and three-meter-wide hole was left in the center of the explosion .

(It seems like every machine carries a large energy reserve and will explode when you destroy them . That’s what enabled even regular machines to possess energy barriers . That attack took forty percent of my power to break through the barrier . Destroying a hundred of them would expend over half my refined Qi . )

Zheng had been attempting to master control over Tiger’s Soul through Magic since the last battle at the Cultivators’ inheritance site . It could grant Tiger’s Soul an absurd level of power but with great power came increased burden . Zheng could at most swing the sword five times in his Dragon Transformation before his whole arm would fall apart and his Magic would backfire within . So, he still used refined Qi in normal situations . He was able to use refined Qi much like how he used Qi and Blood Energy despite the lack of Cultivation techniques to utilize it .

The spider machines were harder than Zheng imagined . Tiger’s Soul was extremely sharp when powered by refined Qi but it still took Zheng forty percent of his strength to destroy one . Any other normal object would have been pulverized upon contact with the sword . Forty percent strength might not sound like a lot but hundreds of attacks at this level would empty his refined Qi .

Zheng had to give up his plan of causing a big ruckus . He destroyed several machines then lifted a red one, which was the biggest spider machine on the platform . He activated Destruction and threw the machine into the crowd . There were so many of them on the platform and they were standing too close together . The throw knocked away dozens of machines . Zheng took this opportunity to dash off the platform .

At the same time, a sandstorm swept out from the spaceship . The energy attacks penetrated the sandstorm and hit the steel walls, causing mini explosions . The sandstorm quickly swirled away and disappeared through a turn in the passageway .

(Imhotep’s most useful in sci-fi movies like this . His existence is nearly undying . Only energy attacks that counter him can damage him . With Imhotep on the defense and Heng on offense, they are strong enough . This leaves with… team Pacific! I am waiting!)

Zheng saw numerous transparent tube passageways after he leaped off the platform . Inside the tubes were small vessels two to three meters in length floating half a meter above the floor . These vessels were probably the normal transportation tools of the aliens . Rays of energy shots chased after Zheng as the spider machines clustered the rim of the platform . Only those standing on the outer layer could fire . These machines weren’t able to fly . Zheng blocked several shots while he dashed on top of a tube . The crimson sword sliced through it and he dropped inside in the next second .

(Xuan has the laptop but you can’t even tell if he’s dead or alive after he disappeared . The dude’s obnoxious . Whatever, I will walk around and find a place for the battle against team Pacific . Maybe see if I can find the rest of team Pacific left in the mothership . )

Zheng decided on a direction and charged ahead . He swung the sword on his way, causing a series of explosions and driving the area into chaos .

At the top layer of the atmosphere in the Earth, another spaceship was flying toward the alien mothership . This spaceship belonged to team Pacific . They defeated and abducted team China’s second group then drove the spaceship after team China’s spaceship .

(It’s strange . I keep feeling that I missed a detail . What is it?) Julian sat on the floor with his eyes closed . He was tapping his forehead with his finger . There was no evidence but a feeling of unease lingered inside him . It felt as though he overlooked something but when he recalled his memories, everything seemed as they should have been . There was nothing he didn’t know . The biggest variable would be the strength of team China’s leader .

(If they are trying to delay until their leader comes to rescue them, I can only label them as stupid and don’t live up to my expectation of them . God’s realm contains a near infinite number of abilities . No one ability is the most powerful . Each ability has its use and damage . Their safety will hinder Zheng Zha’s strength and he won’t be able to exert his full power . Even if he does, can he defeat the three of us? He’s not the same person that’s in team Devil . The win rate is seventy percent… our win rate . )

Julian turned his head toward Lionheart . His special senses allowed him to see without his eyes . This man was smiling as he looked at team China’s members . He appeared gentle but that was only his attitude toward the weak . The gentleness was his pride and contempt toward the weak .

Julian shook his head . His lips curled in a seemingly smile then it faded away . He fell back into his thoughts .

(I have to admit this guy is an idiot . He calls himself royal blood and should have the chance to be the main character of a story with a name like that… Still, his strength is decent . The undying attribute lets him live even when he encounters people stronger than him . With the addition of my psyche force abilities and the Avalon he has, we might not lose against that man in team Devil . )

Time slowly passed while Julian was deep in his thoughts . The spaceship approached the alien mothership and entered a gap just like team China’s spaceship did . It soon landed on a platform .

“What’s the situation outside?” Lionheart turned to ask Julian .

Julian’s psyche force extended outward and printed the environment in his mind . He smiled . “Surrounded by spider machines . Looks like our conjecture is correct . The aliens will attack us once the time is up . Fortunately, we found a spaceship to leave the mothership . What are we going to do now, leader?” His lips twitched when he called Lionheart leader .

Lionheart ran his fingers through his hair then glanced over at Anck-Su-Namun . “Your psyche force abilities are effective against the aliens . Hypnotize them . We are not bothering wasting energy on minions . Then we will find team China’s leader and kill him! Haha . ”

Julian’s mouth moved as though he was uttering “how could it be so simple” . His eyes opened a slim gap for just an instant . Everyone in this area felt that they saw numerous Buddhas and Dharmachakra appeared . The images lasted for only an instant and the area returned normal .

“Done . Twenty percent power of The Treasures of Heavens . What about these people?” Julian breathed out then asked .

Lionheart glanced at Anck-Su-Namun again who glared at him with expressionless face . He shook his head and said . “Hypnotize them . Team China doesn’t have a psyche force user so just hypnotize them . We will take care of them after we kill their leader… And do we still have two slots to take in people from other teams?”

“Uh . We do . ” Julian nodded . He turned to look at HongLu and thought for a second . “Leave that question for later and finish this movie first . We don’t have to fight team China’s leader as soon as we find him . We can choose a spot beneficial to us . I can also control the aliens to aid us . Let’s go . ”

Lionheart glanced over at Anck-Su-Namun again before turning around and walking out the spaceship in a laughter . The hundreds of spider machines outside had collapsed and the aliens inside them knocked out, all due to Julian’s ability .

A few moments later, Julian and the Caucasian also came out from the spaceship . Julian nodded . “They are all hypnotized aside from the person controlling the bombs . Not that it’s meaningful to hypnotize them anyway . We are in the alien mothership and the spaceship has been set to my psyche force’s frequency . There’s no way for them to return to the Earth . Once we kill Zheng Zha, they won’t be able to run or hide without a psyche force user… Leader . If you want women, you can create them at any time . Why must you insist on that one? We only have two slots left . ”

Lionheart blushed then said in a fury . “Fuck . You wanted this guy with the sheath that does nothing but protect you from attacks . I only want a slot and you are complaining . It’s decided . Who’s the leader here?”

Julian clenched his teeth then said with a smile . “Fine . We do as you said . It’s just a slot . It’s fine, you are the leader . ”

(Leader? A leader who doesn’t listen . Is it time to change to another one?) Julian shrugged . He extended his psyche force outward . It split into countless thin strings in this huge mothership and spread like tentacles . In under a minute, he detected movement from very far away . There were explosions, and numerous spider machines swarming at the same direction .

Julian’s lips twitched then he said . “Zheng Zha is over there . Be prepared for the fight… leader . ”

He took the lead and ran toward the direction of explosions .
