Chapter 1 A Rather Lengthy Leap

After a rather lengthy leap travel, the heroes' "Tin Foil" spaceship smoothly arrived in the Blast Star Region.

Because they were heroes, they couldn't just barge onto someone else's planet without any notice like Dr. Diandian; they had to contact the Blast Star's Planetary Defense Department and obtain landing authorization first.

If it were fifty years later, "landing on a star" wouldn't be a big deal at all; as long as they reported the name of the "Cosmic Super Alliance" and verified their identity, the heroes could land on any planet that had established diplomatic relations with the Cosmic Super Alliance.

But now... as mentioned before, they were still a secret organization, and no one knew what they did.

Fortunately, most of the heroes on the Tin Foil were quite famous, especially Tin Foil Man... he was simply a superstar in the superhero world. With his fame, most planets would let him pass as long as he stated his identity and purpose.

"Calling Blast Star, repeat... calling Blast Star... This is the Tin Foil spaceship, requesting to land on your planet, please respond..."

When the spaceship arrived in orbit outside Blast Star, Captain Crapstar, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, picked up the communication device and began to call out. However... he shouted there for a full five minutes, but Blast Star didn't respond at all.

"That's strange... why is there no response to the call for landing?" Captain Crapstar muttered, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the communication system on our spaceship?"

"Impossible." Before the captain could finish speaking, Toadman, sitting a few meters behind him, immediately replied with these three words in a low voice.

"Hehe..." Hearing this, Tin Foil Man, who was in the driver's seat, chuckled, "Captain, our communication system was made by Toadman, the failure rate is basically zero... rather than guessing that there's something wrong with our system, it's better to say that Blast Star's..."

He paused, a foreboding feeling rising in his heart.

*Di di-*

At this moment, the alarm bell in the spaceship suddenly rang.

[Warning, high energy reaction detected.]

[Estimated to be a star-region-level laser strike weapon.]

[Energy source coordinates x5, y-45, z568425.]

[Our ship has been locked onto by four targeting systems simultaneously.]

[Evasion success rate 3.51%]

[Complete defense rate 0.08%]

[It is recommended to transfer all energy to the spaceship's protective shield, or abandon ship within fifteen seconds...]

The alarm system's voice echoed in the cabin.

And the content of the voice seemed to be declaring: In just over ten seconds, this "Tin Foil" spaceship would truly turn into dust.

At this time, all twelve people on the ship were sitting in one cabin, and they naturally heard the broadcast.

However, the reaction of the ten Cosmic Super Alliance heroes was unexpectedly calm.

"Sigh..." Tin Foil Man simply put on a helpless expression and said back, "Guys... it looks like we're going to have to take a stroll in outer space."

Presumably, everyone can see... this ship of people is not afraid of star-region-level laser weapon strikes at all...

Each of them possessed the combat power to withstand this kind of attack and the ability to survive in outer space, so... it didn't matter.

"Poker Face, Parksman." The next second, Captain Crapstar unbuckled his seat belt, quickly left his seat, and walked towards Jue Ge and Ben Bu, who were sitting in the corner. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"By the way, Poker Face is also an Earthling like me." At this time, Dr. Eternity reminded loudly, "In addition to blocking the impact, the pressure change and oxygen problems... please also help take care of them."

"Okay, I'll also solve the pressure problem." Captain Crapstar immediately replied.

"There's really no way... then I'll take care of the oxygen problem." Then, Tox Man also replied in a lazy tone.

While they were saying these few words, the high-energy defense weapon on Blast Star had already launched an attack.

In an instant, a huge beam of light roared in with a devouring momentum.

As mentioned earlier... Blast Star's military technology was very advanced; and this kind of beam cannon in front of them was designed and built to destroy Noah-class interstellar mother ships with one blow...

Using such a weapon to hit a spaceship of the Tin Foil's level was simply like using a cannon to kill a mosquito... as long as it could hit, it would definitely blow the target to smithereens.

At the moment the impact arrived, the heroes also used their unique abilities to prepare to meet the attack.

Tin Foil Man and Toadman had both turned the defensive power of their armor to the maximum; Dr. Eternity had also put on a magical shield that could cover his entire body.

Mr. Crappy curled his body into a ball; Thousand Eyes Man closed all the eyes on his body...

As for Captain Crapstar and Tox Man... they both came to Jue Ge and Ben Bu's side, the former activated his ability—[Absolute Constipation Domain], covering the four of them, while the latter was using his poison control ability to create oxygen.

Finally, what was more bizarre was the two, Lord of the Bugs and Luckyman... they both sat in their original seats, not moving at all. They looked like they were saying, "Just let the attack come, I'll just lie here and see if I'll die."

"Everyone, no need to go to so much trouble..."

However, no one expected that at this moment, Black Hole Queen, who had always been taciturn, actually said in a very calm tone.

"An attack like this..."

In fact, at the same time as she said the word "no need," the spaceship had already been hit by the beam. However, the people on the ship did not feel the slightest impact or vibration.

If someone was outside the spaceship at this moment, they could see... at the moment the beam hit, a semi-transparent black protective shield appeared outside the Tin Foil's own protective shield. And that... was naturally Black Hole Queen's doing.

"...is enough for me to block."

When Black Hole Queen said the second half of this sentence, the laser cannon's attack had entered a period of decline, and after a few seconds... it gradually stopped.

[Energy reaction disappeared.]

[Detecting damage rate...]

[Spaceship damage rate... 0%]

[Protective shield remaining energy... 91%]

The voice prompt in the cabin announced the results of the attack, and also made the heroes reveal different expressions.

"I say... Queen..." After a moment of silence, the first to speak was Luckyman, "Do you have to play like this every time..." He said in a half-joking tone, "Next time you plan to save the world at the last moment, try to tell us in advance."

"I originally didn't even want to say hello." Black Hole Queen replied, "But I was worried that would make you feel deeply confused about what happened, and then waste time discussing it."

"Heh... hehe..." Luckyman chuckled twice, not knowing how to respond.

"Alright, alright..." At this time, Feng Bujue immediately stood up and diverted the topic from Black Hole Queen, "Anyway, the spaceship hasn't been destroyed, and there are no casualties, which is all good things, let's quickly land on the star."

"Still landing on the star?" Hearing this, Thousand Eyes Man, who was next to him, took the opportunity to reply, "People have already launched this scale of defense weapons, which means that there must be a big misunderstanding in this, if we force our way onto the star again, we might be considered a declaration of war."

"Heh... where is there any misunderstanding?" Feng Bujue smiled, "Was that laser just now launched under the premise of a misunderstanding?"

"He's right." Before Jue Ge could finish speaking, Toadman immediately echoed, "This is definitely not a misunderstanding..." His tone sounded very serious, "We're probably late... we have to land quickly."

"Everyone, I've switched to manual driving mode, estimated landing in three minutes." A second later, Tin Foil Man also replied; in fact, long before these people had a conversation, Tin Foil Man had already started preparing to land on the star.

It was obvious that, as the two great intellects of the Cosmic Super Alliance, Toadman and Tin Foil Man's ability to analyze the situation was no worse than Jue Ge's; the two things of "no one answering the communication" and "directly launching a sudden attack far exceeding the standard without any warning" were enough for them to infer the situation on Blast Star.

First of all, as a planet that had joined the Galactic Federation with a high level of civilization, it was impossible for "star-region communication to be unanswered"...

By the same logic, it was also impossible to launch attacks on surrounding spaceships without issuing any warning information...

Also, the most obvious suspicious point... why would the other party use a powerful star-region-level laser strike weapon to hit a medium-sized spaceship? This showed that... what the other party really wanted to destroy was not the spaceship, but those heroes who were riding on the spaceship who were more difficult to destroy than the spaceship itself.

In summary, the person who issued the attack order was definitely not the Blast Star government, but...

............

At the same moment, Blast Star, Outer Space Observation Defense Bureau.

"As expected, it's not possible..." Dr. Diandian looked at the moving light spot on the screen and muttered thoughtfully, "No matter how advanced their spaceship is, it's impossible to withstand this attack, so... did a hero block this attack with their ability..."

At this moment, Dr. Diandian was the only one left in this entire defense bureau base.

The surface defense troops that were originally stationed here were completely wiped out within ten minutes after contacting the doctor, and several heroes who rushed to the scene were also easily KOed by him; as for the staff in the base... except for a few people who were killed by the battle, most of the others had already escaped through the underground passage after the evacuation alarm sounded.

Of course, Dr. Diandian didn't need those personnel, he could control the entire base by himself...

"Judging from this trend, even throwing weapons of mass destruction at their landing point is meaningless..." A few seconds later, the doctor pulled out his mechanical arm (he used this method to connect to the base's computer) inserted into the equipment and muttered, "And... the landing point of those guys seems to be..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the command tower.

At this moment... a spaceship swooped down from a high altitude and drifted in the air along the edge of the tower building of this command center.

Then, a loud "clang" was heard, and the powerful airflow shattered the glass in front of Dr. Diandian.

In the same second, several figures actually leaped out directly from the cargo hatch door at the rear of the spaceship and jumped into the command center hall where the doctor was.

"I said..." Tox Man was the first to land, and as soon as he stood firm, he looked up and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if we kill him, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Toadman, who followed closely behind, replied, "But you have to be careful, the other party is from the future, and may know our situation like the back of his..."

*Chi-*

Before Toadman could finish speaking, Tox Man's figure flashed and appeared in front of Dr. Diandian.

"You don't seem to be very polite to your fellow villagers..." After Tox Man appeared, he glared at the doctor and said with a ferocious expression.

He would say that because he had already seen the wreckage of transportation combat vehicles and the corpses of soldiers all over the parking lot around the base when he was on the spaceship.

But, what he didn't know was... that the people who died here were not all of them; long before they arrived at Blast Star, Dr. Diandian had already hacked into the entire planet's military system through the network in this base, and used Blast Star's own military equipment to destroy more than a hundred government office buildings located throughout the planet.

At this time, Blast Star had already fallen into a true "anarchy"...

"You seem very angry..." Dr. Diandian, facing Tox Man, a cosmic-level hero (although these levels had not yet been set at this time, but if you were to calculate them, all ten members of the Cosmic Super Alliance are currently cosmic-level), was still calm and composed, "But what is the source of your anger? Is it because of the death of a group of strangers? Or is it based on some kind of illusion that you call 'sense of justice'?"

*Pfft-*

What responded to Dr. Diandian was not language, but an attack.

In the nick of time, Tox Man's right forearm turned into a blade almost in the blink of an eye and pierced into Dr. Diandian's chest.

"Hmph... an expected and simple attack that makes me feel pathetic." But Dr. Diandian did not show any painful expression, and even his tone did not change in the slightest, "Your ability can easily destroy the creatures on the entire planet's surface, but you chose this primitive attack method that even cavemen would use."

"Then you can try... if you can survive this method." When Tox Man responded to this sentence, a wisp of white smoke suddenly appeared from the doctor's wound.

"Heh..." Seeing this, Dr. Diandian smiled, "So that's how it is... first turn your arm into a blade and insert it into my body, and then secrete a highly corrosive venom from your forearm to destroy me."

"Yeah... considering that you may have already transformed your body into a state that does not produce any physiological poisoning reactions..." Tox Man replied, "Physically dissolving you is a good choice."

"Well, it is indeed a good idea." Dr. Diandian nodded, "But you better see clearly... who is dissolving who now?"
