122: Chapter 122 Killing someone by destroying their spirit

With the Bone Stripper drawing fire at the front, Lin Sheng only needed to roam the periphery of the battlefield, occasionally dealing with the warships that attacked him.

While the Bone Stripper drew the vast majority of the fire, the Origin Star people had no time to worry about Lin Sheng on the side.

As long as Lin Sheng didn't join the center of the battlefield, the Origin Star people rarely bothered with him.

After all, one Bone Stripper was enough of a headache for them. Under these circumstances, they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke Lin Sheng again.

Even if Lin Sheng harassed them from the periphery, they intended to deal with the Bone Stripper before fighting him.

...

The Bone Stripper's massive size of over two hundred thousand meters was a complete disaster for the Origin Star people.

With full firepower unleashed, every slap from the Bone Stripper could take out at least one warship.

But even so, its speed in eliminating the Origin Star people was still not as fast as Lin Sheng's.

Although Lin Sheng was only playing guerrilla warfare on the periphery, he only needed a few seconds to devour a warship. This speed was much faster than the speed at which the Bone Stripper swung its arms.

After a long time, the headquarters also noticed Lin Sheng's situation.

They had originally intended to wait until they repelled the Bone Stripper before dealing with Lin Sheng.

But the situation on the field made them realize that if this continued, their fleet would probably be completely eaten before they could even drive away the Bone Stripper.

Looking at the remaining one-third of the warships in the field, the Chief made a difficult decision in his heart.

"All troops, hear my order!"

"I am the supreme leader of our civilization, and this is the final command I give you!"

"Disperse and flee this place. Do everything possible to survive. Every person who can escape must do so."

"I will hold back these two monsters for you!"

Hearing the Chief's solemn command over the communication channel, not a single Origin Star person present intended to carry it out.

They were unwilling to abandon their commander and flee alone at such a critical moment.

"Chief, we aren't leaving!"

"We won't leave!"

"We'll die in battle together!"

The voices of other warship commanders, though not in unison, came through the communication channel.

Though expressed differently, the meaning was the same.

They would not leave; they would die in battle here with the Chief.

"Sigh... you guys!"

"It's too late for you to leave anyway."

The Chief's voice of frustrated disappointment stopped abruptly, and a slightly mocking mechanical voice suddenly cut into the communication channel.

Following that, the Chief's voice suddenly began to distort:

"You... go, being controlled..."

Looking at the screen that no longer responded, the Chief closed his eyes in pain.

He knew that the civilization was finished at this moment.

...

Lin Sheng had been paying close attention to the situation at the headquarters.

Taking advantage of the warships' battle with the Bone Stripper, he had quietly advanced to the vicinity of the headquarters.

Just as the headquarters realized the situation was hopeless, Lin Sheng arrived right next to it.

Countless black Tentacles spread out, and in just a few seconds, Lin Sheng transformed the headquarters into a flesh-and-blood warship.

"You go rest first, leave the rest of the battle to me."

After taking control of the headquarters, Lin Sheng transmitted an electromagnetic signal to the Bone Stripper, who was still fighting on the other side.

Receiving this message, the Bone Stripper, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with the fleet, looked up toward Lin Sheng.

Suddenly, the Bone Stripper froze.

The Lin Sheng before it had grown significantly since it first saw him.

When the Bone Stripper first joined the battlefield, this creature was only a quarter of its size.

But now?

The Bone Stripper felt that this creature's body length was at least half of its own height.

"Roar roar."

After a brief moment of daze, the Bone Stripper didn't hesitate and immediately flashed out of the battlefield.

...

Lin Sheng hovered above the headquarters. Beneath his feet was the Chief of the Origin Star people, the supreme commander of all Origin Star people.

After Lin Sheng took control of the headquarters, the fleet gradually ceased fire.

Seeing the Origin Star people being so sensible, Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

He controlled the warship beneath him, and countless Tentacles spread into the headquarters, instantly subduing the high-ranking officials of the Origin Star people inside.

Then, Lin Sheng used the surveillance system in the headquarters to broadcast the scenes from inside to all the warships present.

Seeing the miserable state of their civilization's high-ranking officials being collectively controlled, the eyes of the Origin Star people instantly turned red.

They wished they could immediately self-destruct and perish together with Lin Sheng.

However, Lin Sheng's move of "holding the emperor to command the lords" made them not dare to act rashly.

"After fighting for so long, you seem to still not know who it is that's wiping you out?"

Lin Sheng's mechanical voice rang out in the Origin Star people's communication channel.

"Let me introduce myself."

"My name is 'Chang Xin', and I am the Fourth Marshal of the 'Source of Information' civilization."

"The one destroying you is precisely my civilization, the Source of Information."

"Humble insects, accept the 'new life' bestowed upon you by our civilization."

With the situation already decided, Lin Sheng didn't mind throwing some shade at the Source of Information.

Anyway, this was harmless to the Source of Information, and Lin Sheng didn't believe they would destroy him because of this.

"I know the final order your Chief gave you, and I also know you're thinking about how to leave this place."

As he said this, Lin Sheng had already noticed several warships on the periphery that were about to move.

Before the headquarters was controlled, their only thought was to die on the battlefield.

But now, even the headquarters was controlled by the opponent, and the last shred of hope was gone; leaving this place was actually the best choice.

However, Lin Sheng had controlled the headquarters precisely to prevent those 'evolution points' from escaping.

Looking at those restless warships on the periphery, he simply controlled the Tentacles in the headquarters to stab several holes in the Chief.

"Ah!"

The sudden pain caused the Chief to cry out involuntarily.

This scene was broadcast in real-time by Lin Sheng to the other warships. Following that, his voice also rang out in the warships' communication channels:

"I will give you a chance now."

"As long as you obediently allow yourselves to be devoured by me, I will give your Chief a quick death."

"Otherwise..."

As he spoke, several Tentacles gestured over the Chief's body, the meaning being self-evident.

Seeing the miserable state of their Chief, the warship commanders around them simultaneously fell into a dilemma.

But before they could struggle for long, another scream rang in their ears.

Looking up, they saw that there were several more holes in the Chief's body than before.

"Chief!"

The eyes of those warship commanders instantly turned red.

They turned their heads to look at the soldiers below.

If they were the only ones in the warships, they would have used their lives without hesitation to exchange for a quick death for the Chief.

But the reality was that they were not alone in the warships; there were thousands upon thousands of compatriots inside.

They could not choose death for their fellow compatriots.

"Captain, it's death either way. Why don't we just blow ourselves up!"

"That's right, Captain. Rather than dying such a stifling death, we might as well self-destruct. Maybe we can take this monster down with us!"

...

Lin Sheng seemed able to hear the discussions of the soldiers in the warships. Just as a warship was about to self-destruct, Lin Sheng's voice rang out again:

"Do not attempt to self-destruct together."

"You know the strength of the headquarters. If the power of your self-destruction fails to destroy the headquarters, then your Chief will..."

As he spoke, Lin Sheng once again opened several holes in the Chief's body.

"Does anyone else want to try self-destructing?"

As his voice fell, not a single warship self-destructed.

After a brief discussion, the Origin Star people in those warships retracted their weapon systems one after another.

Then, the warships spontaneously lined up in a row in front of Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng cut off the broadcast from the headquarters, but immediately after, he transmitted the scenes from the field into the headquarters and thoughtfully explained to the Origin Star people inside:

"Your subordinates are truly loyal. To give you a quick death, they actually sacrificed themselves."

Looking at the warships lined up in the screen, waiting to be devoured by Lin Sheng, the Chief felt a pang of sharp pain in his heart.

He had originally thought Lin Sheng was deliberately torturing him by using the Tentacles to open holes in his body multiple times.

But if he had known the reason behind it, the Chief would definitely not have uttered a single cry.

If you feel that this chapter is somewhat uncomfortable to read, I can consider writing a dark-themed novel in the future.
