302: Chapter 302 Are you trying to give me cupping therapy here?

"Just this much heat? Are you giving me a cupping treatment here?!"

Lin Shan grinned, revealing a ferocious, wild laugh like that of an ancient demon. His massive, fan-like hand suddenly exerted force.

Crack—Boom!!!

That high-energy light pillar was actually crushed into flying fragments of light by his pure physical strength!

"This... this is impossible!!! Crushing a plasma main cannon with bare hands?! What kind of monster are you!!!"

Baka's electronic prosthetic eye flickered wildly with a red warning light. He finally realized that what he had kicked this time wasn't some iron plate, but a Wall of Sighs that even gods couldn't shake!

"Fire! Everyone fire! Kill him!!!" Baka retreated in terror, screaming hoarsely at his subordinates.

"Want to run now? Too late."

Chen Xi's eyes turned sharp.

"Xiao Xiao, clear the area. Don't get our ship dirty."

"Understood, Captain."

Su Xiaoxiao gave a cold snort. She didn't even take out her staff. She simply raised her slender, fair right hand and gave a crisp snap of her fingers toward the group of star pirates who were raising their weapons.

Snap.

"[Void Law: Absolute Thunderstorm Domain]."

Rumble————!!!!!

There were no clouds, no prelude.

Amidst the desperate screams of Baka and those dozen or so star pirates, hundreds of pure black Void Oblivion Divine Thunders erupted directly from the space beneath their feet without warning!

These thunders ignored all the mechanical armor and magic shields on their bodies, acting directly on their souls and energy cores!

"Aaaaaahhhh!!!"

In less than a single second!

This [Bloody Gear] star pirate squad, which had been tyrannical in Gear City for decades, along with their Lv.115 Vice Leader Baka, were all electrocuted into the most primitive charred powder in the black lightning. With a gentle breeze, they vanished without a trace over the port!

An instant kill!

A complete and utter dimensional reduction instant kill!

The entire apron square fell into an absolute dead silence, as if time had been frozen.

Those alien outlaws who were just waiting to watch a good show now had legs weak with fear, cold sweat soaking through their backs.

Catching a main cannon with bare hands! Killing a demigod with a snap of the fingers!

Where the hell did these top-tier cosmic god-races come from?!

Chen Xi was very satisfied with this deterrent effect.

He ignored the gazes around him that were filled with extreme awe and slowly pulled out the [god-creating cube fragment] that was radiating a dark golden light from his chest.

With the appearance of this fragment, a very weak resonance wave seemed to faintly emerge in the murky air of Wasteland Star.

Chen Xi looked up, his gaze deep as he looked into the depths of the intricate steel jungle of Gear City, a meaningful smile curling at the corner of his mouth:

"It seems... the 'Gravediggers' here have already caught the scent of our ancestors."

"Let's go, let's meet the local snakes."

Hiss—!!!

In the apron square, those interstellar drifters and black market thugs who originally harbored ill intentions toward the Nirvana Battle Team and tried to gain some benefits from these "outsiders" were all like ducks being strangled by the neck, the sound of people gasping for cold air ringing out in unison.

The Bloody Gear Star Pirate Group was one of the top ten ruthless forces on Wasteland Star! Vice Leader Baka was a battle-hardened Lv.115 demigod-level mechanical cyborg!

Yet such a fierce man who walked tall in Gear City couldn't even survive a finger snap from the other side's woman, turning into flying ash in the black lightning?! Crushing a plasma main cannon with bare hands, snapping fingers to kill a demigod... where in the cosmic abyss did these five people crawl out from, these ultimate monsters?!

"Let's go. The air here is too dirty."

Chen Xi didn't even spare a glance at those trembling alien races. Following the weak resonance frequency emitted by the [god-creating cube fragment] in his hand, he turned his gaze toward the deepest part of Gear City, that underground rift that looked like a steel abyss.

As Chen Xi stepped forward, the crowded thousands of aliens in front of him parted like Moses parting the sea, frantically retreating to both sides in extreme unison. There were even a few silicon-based behemoths who couldn't dodge in time because they were too large, and they actually squeezed themselves into the nearby sewers for fear of blocking this "God of Slaughter's" path.

The five members of the Nirvana Battle Team strode grandly through the chaotic surface districts of Gear City, which were filled with neon lights and holographic advertisements.

The deeper they went, the more desolate the surroundings became. The shantytowns built of scrap metal gradually disappeared, replaced by a bottomless, ultra-giant vertical shaft carved out of some dark metal.

The diameter of this shaft exceeded ten kilometers, so deep it seemed to lead directly to the planet's core. The edges of the shaft were covered with thick cables and abandoned elevator platforms, and bursts of gale-force winds mixed with the scorching heat of the earth's core whistled out from below.

"Captain, the resonance indicator of the cube fragment is down there?"

Su Xiaoxiao peeked into the bottomless, pitch-black shaft. Her purple-silver eyes flickered with the light of void lightning. In her perception, the bottom of this shaft was filled with an extremely chaotic, terrifying magnetic field that could even block high-dimensional spiritual detection.

"Yes, and this magnetic field is very familiar to me."

A cold smile, a mix of nostalgia and fanaticism, curled at the corner of Chen Xi's mouth:

"This is the purest [Antimatter Energy Shielding Field] unique to our Ancient Human Ascension Empire. It seems this so-called Wasteland Star isn't some interstellar junkyard at all; it was originally a secret vault used by our ancestors to hide ultimate secrets!"

"Let's go, we're going down."

As Chen Xi's voice fell, the five of them didn't hesitate and jumped straight down from the edge of the shaft!

The howling wind tore at their ears.

The speed of descent was extremely fast, and the surrounding metal shaft walls turned into blurred afterimages in their sight.

Five thousand meters... ten thousand meters... thirty thousand meters!

After free-falling for nearly five minutes, just as the surrounding temperature had soared to thousands of degrees—enough to melt ordinary fine steel.

Buzz—!

A visible, light blue hexagonal honeycomb-shaped energy membrane abruptly appeared at the end of the shaft!

"[Time Reversal: Decelerated Landing]!"

While in mid-air, Li Murou gently plucked a string with her slender finger. Golden time gears instantly enveloped the five of them, forcibly "rewinding" their terrifying downward kinetic energy—comparable to a meteorite impact—to zero the second before they touched the blue membrane.

The five of them were like light feathers, silently penetrating that layer of blue energy membrane and landing steadily on the ground.

When they saw the scene before them, everyone, including Chen Xi, couldn't help but hold their breath.
