473: Entering the battlefield
The place Yang Dian asked the female Dragon to take him was an extraterrestrial meteorite, which was also the place where the primordial cell fell to earth.
The primordial cell and the two psionic spaceships were all in that location.
Besides that, there was also a Machina army there.
But here?
Although it was also ravaged, there were not many mutated creatures evolved from primordial cells, nor any psionic spaceships or Machina armies.
It seemed they had deviated dozens, even hundreds of kilometers from their destination.
As if sensing Yang Dian's displeasure, the female Dragon hovering beside Yang Dian immediately began to wail:
"My Lord, I have been in the Beast-Taming Bracelet all this time and have never opened a spatial channel in this world."
"It's normal to have a slight deviation when opening a spatial channel over tens of thousands of kilometers for the first time."
"Please give me another chance; next time I will definitely send you accurately to your desired location."
Yang Dian waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter, it's only a hundred kilometers or so. I can fly there myself just as well."
"Just be more careful next time."
With that, Yang Dian glanced at the few people pretending to be quails nearby.
The next moment, three of them, like Speenham, exploded just by Yang Dian looking at them.
After the three died, Yang Dian looked at the last person with some surprise:
"I thought you would survive."
As his voice fell, the last person only had time to constrict her pupils before she also cosplayed Kennedy, her head blown open.
Scarlett, who was still standing on the ground, reached out and touched the blood splattered on her cheek. After a moment of silence, she looked directly at Yang Dian:
"I admit you are very strong, but that is not a reason for you to indiscriminately kill innocent people."
Scarlett's words were also the confusion of Li Yue, the vice-chairman of the Think Tank, far away in China:
"Yang Dian's killing intent seems to have grown stronger."
"He wasn't like this before."
"Before, he wouldn't kill people without reason. Even if someone offended him, he would choose to maximize his interests and send those who offended him to the front lines to fill the gaps."
Han Zhang glanced at Li Yue and offered a different opinion:
"Martial Artists have keen instincts. Did you notice what Yang Dian said before killing that last person: 'I thought you would survive'? This indicates that he originally didn't intend to kill her."
"Among those who died, Speenham was disrespectful, so he deserved to die."
"Harvey actively attacked Yang Dian, so Yang Dian's counterattack was natural."
"The remaining three were probably on good terms with Speenham and Harvey. Although they were pretending to be quails on the surface, they were secretly plotting ways to deal with Yang Dian."
"Yang Dian sensed their malice, so he struck first."
"The last person who died had an ordinary relationship with Speenham and Harvey; their deaths didn't affect her. But it was probably the subsequent deaths of the three that made her harbor hatred for Yang Dian."
"Yang Dian must have killed her after sensing her malice."
Saying that, he looked around at the other Think Tank members in the conference room and continued:
"For example, Scarlett, she probably didn't show malice towards Yang Dian. Her earlier shooting was just an instinctual reaction, which Yang Dian considered insignificant, so she is still alive and well."
"As for Yang Dian directly eliminating these people, I think there are two reasons."
"First, Speenham, Harvey, and others all possess high-level Transcendent Realm combat power. Ordinary soldiers simply cannot guard them, and sending them to the front lines to fill gaps could easily cause trouble."
"Second, his strength has grown to the point where he doesn't need too many prisoners of war as cannon fodder at the front."
"He can clear weaker Alien Planets and battlefields by himself."
"In situations he cannot resolve, no amount of cannon fodder will help."
"So he simply went all out and directly killed these people who harbored ill will towards him and China, to prevent them from secretly entering China and causing trouble."
"After all, they are Transcendent Realm experts with high-level Transcendent Realm strength."
"They are capable of using various innate abilities to enter China and cause some destruction and kill some civilians before we can react..."
Han Zhang's guess was correct.
Yang Dian indeed acted to kill them because he sensed their malice and killing intent.
He left Scarlett alive simply because she didn't show any malice or killing intent towards him.
That was all.
So, upon hearing Scarlett's question, he just smiled:
"If you think what I did was wrong and you can't stand it, you can choose to avenge them."
Scarlett fell silent again, then gave a bitter smile:
"I don't have that kind of strength."
"Even if I did, I wouldn't avenge them."
Yang Dian could tell that Scarlett was speaking the truth.
So he waved his hand, using his Qi and blood to pull Scarlett towards him, bringing her to his side.
Then he had Ya Zi lock onto the destination for navigation and flew towards the direction where the 'primordial cell' had fallen.
As he flew, he also asked:
"Aren't you companions? If you had the strength, why wouldn't you avenge them?"
"Because they are devils," Scarlett briefly explained the human experimentation and virus experimentation conducted by America's conglomerates and military, as well as Harvey and others' complicity, then continued:
"I can't stand them selling their lives to the conglomerates and military, and I also can't stand you arbitrarily killing them."
"But it's just that I can't stand it; your actions simply displease me."
"Since I don't like your methods, it's naturally impossible for me to become a person like you."
Yang Dian looked at her in surprise:
"You are indeed a bit different..."
During their casual conversation, the short distance of over a hundred kilometers passed quickly beneath Yang Dian.
A moment later, looking at the crater, no more than ten meters deep and a hundred meters wide, that the meteorite had created, Yang Dian couldn't help but show an expression of awe:
"What a miraculous primordial cell."
The crater was shrouded in white mist, beneath which were countless proportionally scaled-down mountains, rainforests, and ancient creatures.
Around the crater, countless Dragons covered the land, confronting a vast, endless army of war Machina.
In the sky, there were also two psionic spaceships, three hundred meters long, glowing white, and shuttle-shaped.
And if Yang Dian wasn't mistaken, those Dragons were continuously undergoing fission.
Every so often, a group of Dragons would shed their skin.
After shedding their skin, they would either split into two or become even more powerful.
As for the Machina confronting them, a continuous stream of war robots and unmanned armored artillery vehicles joined the battlefield, as if a war could break out at any moment.
Compared to the Machina and the Dragons evolved from the 'primordial cell,' the two psionic spaceships hovering in the sky seemed like two harmless rookies.
Oh, the America conglomerates and military people were not just the two psionic spaceships in the sky.
On the ground, there were also hundreds of America soldiers in exoskeleton armor, and thousands of interstellar refugees of various appearances who had fallen from dimensional rifts and miraculously survived among the planetary debris.
'I wonder if these interstellar refugees have America votes.'
Just as this thought suddenly popped into Yang Dian's mind, the Machina and Dragons on the ground all looked up in unison at Yang Dian and Scarlett, the two uninvited guests who had forcibly inserted themselves into the standoff at a speed exceeding 30 Mach.
