58: Wang Teng: I have the bearing of an emperor!
However, the only response he received was a cold sneer.
"The Wang Family?"
"In my eyes, you're nothing more than a group of ants."
Su Jue's voice, transmitted through a full-frequency broadcast, clearly reached the ears of everyone in the base.
"As for me..."
"I'm here to collect a debt."
"Your Wang Family owes our Su Family a blood debt. Today, it's time to pay it back, with interest!"
The Su Family?!
Hearing this surname that had disappeared for nearly twenty years, Wang Teng's mind went blank with a loud buzzing sound!
A remnant... of the Su Family?!
How is this possible?!
Back then, wasn't the main branch of the Su Family completely wiped out?!
The remaining side branches were nothing but a bunch of small fry!
How could such a powerful expert emerge?!
"No need to guess."
Su Jue seemed to see right through his thoughts.
"I am that... Infant... the one you thought had died long ago in the space-time wormhole."
"Now, I'm back."
"To take back... everything that should have belonged to me."
"Including... your lives!"
As the words fell.
human emperor no. 1 moved.
The void wings on its back flapped violently!
The massive machine transformed into a golden stream of light, like a falling sun, crashing fiercely toward the First Defense Base below!
"Fire!!"
"Shoot it down!!"
Coming to his senses, Wang Teng let out a hysterical roar!
However, having lost its energy core supply, the base's proud defense system had now become nothing more than a collection of immobile decorations!
Only a few scattered turrets relying on backup power futilely fired off several energy beams.
Those beams struck the "Hyper-Polymerized Gram-Gold" armor of human emperor no. 1 without leaving so much as a white scratch.
BOOM—!!!!!
Under the despairing gazes of tens of thousands of soldiers within the base.
The golden demon god descended with a crash!
Its massive metal fist, carrying unparalleled destructive power, smashed heavily into the central tower where the command room was located!
Steel was wailing!
The earth was mourning!
In an instant, that thousand-meter-tall central tower, symbolizing the dignity of the Wang Family, collapsed like building blocks crushed by a giant!
Dust and smoke rose into the sky!
In minutes, it shrouded this living hell!
...When the dust cleared.
The entire First Defense Base had been turned into ruins.
Countless buildings had been reduced to rubble under the world-shattering blow from human emperor no. 1.
The Wang Family soldiers in the base suffered heavy casualties.
Most survivors were scared out of their wits, scurrying through the ruins in a panic like headless flies.
And that golden demon god stood quietly in the center of the ruins.
Beneath its feet were the remains of the central tower.
With that single punch, it had sent the base's entire command system, along with the commander Wang Teng who had been shouting to shoot it down, straight... to the afterlife!
The younger brother Wang Teng had fallen!
"Vulnerable."
Inside the cockpit, Su Jue looked at the messy scene before him, his face devoid of expression.
To him, this wasn't called a battle.
This was called clearing out trash.
"King, there are 7,321 survivors remaining in the base."
"Among them are three warriors in the Domain Transformation Realm."
"One hundred and fifty-two warriors in the True Essence Realm."
"The rest are at the Gang Qi Realm or below."
"Shall we... proceed with a complete purge?"
prometheus's cold voice rang out in Su Jue's mind.
"No rush."
Su Jue shook his head.
"The game of cat and mouse has only just begun."
"If all the mice are played to Death at once, where's the fun in that?"
His gaze swept over the soldiers fleeing through the ruins like ants.
A cruel arc curled at the corner of his mouth.
What he wanted wasn't just to kill them.
He wanted to destroy their will!
He wanted them to die slowly in endless fear and despair!
"xiao pu."
"I am here, my King."
"Bring over that transport ship we captured."
"Then, release all the 'cargo' on board."
"As you command, my King."
prometheus immediately began executing the order.
Soon, the C-7 Transport Ship hidden in the asteroid belt was remotely controlled to slowly land on the open ground outside the base.
The hatch opened.
Led by Wang Defa, over a hundred crew members and the hundreds of rescued Mine Slaves walked out, trembling.
When they saw the military base that had already been turned into ruins before them.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially Wang Defa.
Looking at the demon-god-like human emperor no. 1 standing in the center of the ruins, he felt his legs shaking violently!
What... what kind of monster had he... provoked?!
How long had it been?
An hour? Or two?
A rock-solid planetary-level defense base, garrisoned by over ten thousand elites, was just... gone?!
This... this was simply more absurd than any myth!
"Take all these Wang Family people into custody."
"As for the others..."
Su Jue's voice reached the ears of every Mine Slave.
"From today on, you... are free."
"In these ruins, there is everything you want."
"Weapons, food, medicine..."
"Go and take them."
"Then, use the weapons in your hands to go to those who once oppressed you..."
"And demand justice!"
Su Jue's words were like a heavy bomb dropped into a calm lake!
After a brief moment of hesitation, the eyes of the Mine Slaves, who were still shaken, instantly burst with a wolf-like fierce light!
The hatred suppressed for many years was completely ignited at this moment!
"Kill!!"
"Kill these Wang Family bastards!!"
"Avenge my dead parents!!"
A burly alien man was the first to roar and charge into the ruins.
He picked up a high-energy rifle from a soldier's corpse and then frantically pulled the trigger at a fleeing Wang Family soldier!
"Rat-tat-tat-tat—!"
The blue energy beams instantly turned that soldier into a sieve!
His action was like a switch.
Immediately after, all the Mine Slaves went mad!
They poured into the ruins like a tide!
They took up weapons, put on armor, and launched the bloodiest and most cruel retaliation against those who were once their high and mighty 'masters'!
For a time, across the ruins, the sounds of gunfire, explosions, screams, and the mad laughter of the avengers intertwined to play a symphony of Death!
This was what Su Jue wanted.
He wanted to use the blood of the Wang Family to wash away this land they had defiled!
He wanted all the oppressed to personally taste the flavor of revenge!
