World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 713 - 524: The Death of Makula (Combined)_2
Chapter 713: Chapter 524: The Death of Makula (Combined)_2
The azure light hit Makula, but failed to kill him, as it was blocked by the protective field he wore on his body.
"That’s why I don’t think it’s more useful than my ability, it can’t even penetrate that kind of shield."
Zhang Xiaoman spoke as he put the pistol away and pointed his finger at Makula once more.
At this time, Makula seemed to have fallen into a stupor, murmuring words like "impossible" under his breath.
"Alright, Lahn, this conversation is over. Water Blue Star does not welcome you, but it’s a pity that you no longer have the chance to return to your Guleng Star."
Zhang Xiaoman said in the language of the other’s species.
Upon hearing this, Makula’s pupils constricted, and a look of terror appeared on his face:
"How do you know..."
But he never got the chance to finish his sentence, as Zhang Xiaoman’s Burst Spirit Skill shot out from his fingertips, turning into a purple light that pierced through his head.
"Bang!"
Makula fell to the ground, his face frozen in an expression of disbelief and terror, breathless.
Thus, the behind-the-scenes mastermind, who had been scheming for months, forming the Plague Church and planning it all, finally met his end.
In fact, before coming here, Zhang Xiaoman had already learned some information from the wreck of that spacecraft.
This self-proclaimed divine being was nothing more than an ordinary alien.
His name wasn’t Makula, but "Lahn".
Makula was just a name he stumbled upon when reading some local history information in Gaul after arriving at Water Blue Star. Later, as part of a genetic engineering plan, he claimed to be Makula.
Lahn’s planet was called Guleng Star, but Zhang Xiaoman had not yet had the chance to read more information, as he hastily made his way here.
As long as the wreckage of that spacecraft remained, he could use the data decryption abilities of the Dawn to check the records at any time.
The Qin En Particle Gun he had used earlier was deciphered in this way.
Looking at the body on the ground, as well as the rampant rat swarm outside that had scattered due to losing control, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
He had considered whether to spare this man’s life at first.
After all, as Lahn himself said, he possessed knowledge far beyond this civilization. Keeping him alive and gradually milking him dry seemed like a decent option.
But in the end, Zhang Xiaoman still killed him.
The reason was simple, precisely because Lahn possessed knowledge far beyond the civilization of Water Blue Star, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t leave such a risk, no matter how stringent the guards and protection were.
He had no idea what sort of incomprehensible methods such a person might possess.
The scenario in the movie where Tony Stark, in a cave and under the watchful eyes of terrorists, builds a steel mecha, isn’t impossible.
Moreover, this guy came here intending to rule the world and had already caused so much killing; there was no way Zhang Xiaoman would spare him.
Ultimately, it boils down to one thing: to acquire technology, one can search the spaceship wreckage themselves; there’s no need to take such a risk.
The several people around, having just seen the seemingly invincible Lahn easily have his head penetrated by a purple beam, were all incredibly astonished.
Jannan was fairly composed, as an Awakener, he knew that attacks from Dark Energy could not be blocked by ordinary means.
For a "common man" like Lahn to defend against a Dark Energy attack, he would either have to dodge, be tough-skinned and able to resist, or use a Transcendent substance like Olharast Rock to block it; otherwise, it was almost unsolvable.
If it weren’t for the fact that Jannan had exhausted his Dark Energy in the previous fight, there wouldn’t have been a need to wait for Zhang Xiaoman’s arrival, as he could have used a Burst Spirit Skill himself to end the fight there and then.
Matiu and his companions lying below were completely dumbfounded.
The two had already prepared themselves for the end right here, especially after Matiu detonated that machine with a hand grenade, they basically lost all hope of surviving.
But unexpectedly, things changed so swiftly.
They hadn’t even had time to react when that boss-like figure had been killed, and both of them looked at Zhang Xiaoman with eyes full of admiration.
"Old Zhan, go collect the body, and we’ll head to the rooftop. There are still some fish that slipped the net outside, let’s deal with them as well."
Zhang Xiaoman instructed, then summoned over a dozen Star Guards and led the trio up to the rooftop. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Those rats had reverted to their original state after Lahn’s death.
The property of photophobia in their genetic defects once again came into play, and in brightly lit areas, the Star Guards didn’t even need to take action, as the rats hid themselves away.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t bother with them and went straight to the rooftop, aiming for the four Mutant Snakes outside.
The four Mutant Snakes were thirty meters long; their massive bodies stood erect, reaching a height of at least fifteen meters, nearly rivaling the surrounding buildings.
Luckily, the terrain around the Bades Research Institute was quite open, so no significant damage had been caused.
Now that they had lost Lahn’s control, they reverted to their true nature and were wantonly slaughtering the Mutant Rats nearby.
The rats were not going down without a fight and gathered together to climb the bodies of the giant snakes, furiously biting them.
It’s said that snakes and rats often come from the same nest, but these fellows clearly didn’t get along very well.
Although both were Mutant Beasts, they were not of the same clan, and it was normal for them to fight now that Lahn’s restraint was gone.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but touch his nose, feeling that perhaps he didn’t even need to make a move himself.
"God, heavens! What on earth is going on outside, where did those monsters come from!"
Compared to his composure, those two warriors were far from calm.
Previously, the group had been holed up in the central lab and hadn’t seen the situation outside, so suddenly seeing those four building-sized giant snakes, they couldn’t remain composed.
Zhang Xiaoman ignored the two who were making a fuss and stood on the rooftop watching the fight below for a while, noticing that both sides were just like chickens pecking at each other, unable to determine a winner after a long struggle.
The giant snakes were too large and their scales too thick for the rats to easily bite through.
But the Mutant Rats were small, fast, and plentiful in number, which made it impossible for the giant snakes to kill them off in a short period of time.
Eventually, Zhang Xiaoman no longer waited and harnessed a full-powered Skill stored within the Time Imprint, directly summoning a Fire Python over sixty meters long to put an end to this conflict in one fell swoop.
The massive Fire Python, twice the size of those Mutant Snakes, with its enormous body burning with flames, didn’t need to attack—it could simply crush the rats to death by charging into the swarm of monsters.
Those that weren’t crushed were burned to death by the damaging flames surrounding it.
The remaining four Mutant Snakes hadn’t fared any better; caught by the Fire Python, a single bite left a huge hole in their bodies, and with just a bit more force, the Dark Energy flames could burn them in two.
Matiu was practically bulging his eyes out at this point; the massive flaming creature had been casually summoned by the man beside him. He had thought the giant snakes were already extravagant enough, but something even more terrifying was here.
Even from a distance of over a hundred meters, they could feel the immense heat wave, giving them a breathless sensation.
Not to mention the two ordinary people, even Awakener Jannan was deeply shocked by the Star Lord’s strength at this moment.
The impact on him was even greater, as he understood the characteristics of the Fire Python’s Formula, which required one to significantly increase its power purely based on one’s Dark Energy capacity, with no shortcuts available.
This also demonstrated the extent of the Star Lord’s current strength.
For him, a newcomer who had only recently awakened, it was an existence to look up to.
For a moment, his gaze toward Zhang Xiaoman became even more filled with admiration.
