Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1473: Chapter 555: Nothing More Than This—Time to End It (Part 2)

The tip of the Heavy Sword occasionally flickered with surging arcs due to the intense high-energy reaction.

The ten-man formation that was supposed to seize the chance to attack suddenly fell into a bizarre standstill, daring not to advance further.

The reason was simple, although Ren Zhong was no longer invisible, the energy level index displayed on their war armor’s information monitoring device was rapidly rising to a terrifying degree, already exceeding the power limit of what their common sense knew Empire human mechanical warriors could achieve with small equipment.

Even though Ren Zhong remained motionless, it nonetheless imposed tremendous psychological pressure on the ten-man formation.

They couldn’t quite pinpoint where this feeling originated from; besides the rapidly climbing energy level index, there wasn’t anything else.

But they definitely felt a sense of eerie dread.

"What exactly are you doing?" Sena Romanov finally lost her patience and activated the brainwave communication function of her wrist watch, shouting in her mind, "His invisibility device has failed! This is your chance! He’s bluffing! If you lose the fight, or dare to hold back, allowing him to survive in the end, I will not only execute you, but your families will not be spared either! Kill him! Quickly!"

Sena thought her brainwave communication was sufficiently covert, but almost simultaneously as her message was sent out, Qiqi had already received a decryption report from the intelligence staff.

After all, Wangjiang Star was Marquis Zhenjiang’s stronghold. Despite the planet’s rich greenery akin to the original ecosystem filled with primeval forests, under Marquis Zhenjiang’s diligent governance and covert guidance over the years, the technical reserves of Wangjiang Star were in no way inferior to those of the Empire’s prosperous star systems at its core.

There was no way Marquis Zhenjiang had no means at all.

Just beneath the spectator’s platform lay a high-powered information stream analysis device.

Except for the encryption algorithms mastered by Earl Red Blade Ren Zhong being too complex to decrypt immediately, all other similar information stream communications from others in the scene could not escape Qiqi’s notice.

Of course, Qiqi was not in the habit of prying into others’ privacy, so he generally wouldn’t actively review these private communications, but Sena Romanov was always a key subject for monitoring. Once she made a move, she would reveal a flaw.

With a slight delay, Marvell Louis also heard this conversation from his wrist watch.

Marvell’s face initially revealed joy, but then quickly became somewhat complicated.

Marvell slightly clenched his fist and said, "Finally, we have a hold on Sena Romanov; driving her away is a good thing. But her intent to kill Ren Zhong is too intense; the situation is very dangerous."

Qiqi glanced back at him, "Don’t jump to conclusions lightly; we’ve already made enough wrong judgments today."

Marvell said, "So should I interpret it in reverse? It seems like Sena’s actions are pushing Ren Zhong into a dangerous situation, but in reality, it’s actually creating an opportunity for him?"

Qiqi said, "What you’re saying isn’t wrong. Earl Red Blade can’t break their Turtle Shell Formation, but once they abandon their defense and initiate a proactive attack, perhaps the opportunity will arise."

As soon as Qiqi finished speaking, the ten-man formation in the air indeed began to move, and their previously flawless defensive formation roared apart.

The ten war armors simultaneously switched to combat posture, activated all their medium engines, and shifted to high-mobility mode to charge straight towards Ren Zhong ahead.

Though the hearts of these ten elite warriors were still unsettled, they had no choice, no retreat; they could only charge forward.

Their actions precisely played into Ren Zhong’s hands.

Almost at the moment when the ten-man formation lifted their defensive array, Ren Zhong had already preemptively activated the propulsion engine, initially leaving a decoy hologram at the spot as bait, then laterally flashed to the flank at lightning speed, and then transformed into a missile to shoot forward.

His series of intricate yet high-intensity maneuvers had long surpassed the acceleration limits a normal human could withstand.

In fact, Ren Zhong had long since discreetly activated the rapid human freezing device installed in his specialized Red Blade Armor.

Currently, his consciousness was inside the armor’s intelligent brain, his body was in a completely solid state without flowing liquids, hence no pressure differential inside. With the assistance of high-strength pressure protective gear, he was not afraid of his frozen body exploding.

His speed was so fast that although the intelligent system of the ten-man formation’s war armor could barely detect something amiss, his movement data was so unreasonable that it perceived these data as redundant bugs and didn’t report them or take active counteraction.
