The moment Kasa pressed the button, Zhang Li's eyes turned completely black, no longer human.
"I didn't expect this brat to be so cunning and manage to escape."
"Great King, shall we pursue him?" a thin fellow asked, leaning closer.
"No need to chase. I can sense someone beside him who is no less powerful than I. We wouldn't have a guaranteed victory even if we pursued."
"Did we miss any openings? How was that brat so sharp?"
"These beings are very strange. We cannot underestimate them. Let's bring out the second brother."
"Yes, Great King."
The tall, thin one agreed and surprisingly floated out of a body, drifting slowly towards a meteorite.
"Second brother, are you ready? The Great King wants you out."
"Almost there. Why are these guys so difficult to manipulate?" A person stood up unsteadily. Upon closer inspection, it seemed the person's joints were put on backward.
"I still can't imitate them well. Why don't you just possess them directly?"
"Second brother, your skill lies elsewhere. If you were to kill them, you could do it in one go. I can only infiltrate their bodies and haven't learned to speak like them yet."
"Speaking of skill, the Great King is the most formidable, able to converse with them. If I hadn't listened carefully just now, I would have thought that person had taken over the Great King."
"Of course, otherwise, why would he be the Great King and I the second?" The person walking with reversed joints stumbled out of a spaceship.
"Let's go. We'll head over."
"Can you walk like that? Can you extend your wings?"
"I've hollowed out that fellow, so it should be possible." The second one then spread his wings, and this creature bore a resemblance to Kasa.
"Then shall we go?" The phantom-like floating entity drifted back into the cabin.
"Great King, second brother is coming soon."
"I feel the aura from that brat's spaceship is very similar to the second brother's."
"The Great King is truly remarkable. I didn't notice that at all."
"What's going on with that half-dead fellow?" Zhang Li asked.
"It seems the fifth brother is still possessing him, triggering the person's defense mechanisms."
"This isn't working! You go in first and devour that fellow's soul, then let the fifth brother in. If it weren't for this fellow, that brat would have almost come over, right?"
The tall, thin one heard this and drifted up again, entering the feverish person's body. He then pulled out a ball of energy similar to himself. However, this energy ball was much smaller compared to him. He slowly merged this energy ball and then smiled eerily, appearing quite satisfied. He then drifted back into his original body.
"You're getting more and more powerful, brat. Once we get down there, we'll let you eat to your heart's content."
"Thank you, Great King."
Just then, the second brother also arrived, flapping his wings. However, his posture was truly unpraiseworthy.
"Open the cabin door and let the second brother in. Our era of revelry is about to begin." Zhang Li waved his hands, a look of madness on his face.
"Big brother, this body is simply unbearable." The second brother grumbled as he entered.
"You look so strange; you'll terrify others in that world. How can we savor these delicacies?" Zhang Li said, involuntarily sticking out his tongue to lick his lips. Now, this Zhang Li's tongue was forked, like a python's.
"Great King, shall we go? I'm getting a little impatient." The one who devoured souls began to incite from the side.
"Let's go, target Earth." Zhang Li waved his hand.
Guo Xuyang was unaware that Zhang Li had been possessed. He had only seen a mysterious energy within the body of another feverish person continuously attacking that person's soul, which was why he had resolutely slipped away. He knew his own situation; although he had superpowers, he had never fought against these unknown creatures. He believed his superpowers were invincible, but only when he knew the opponent's strength. When he couldn't ascertain the opponent's strength, he could only flee as far as possible.
"Master, we are about to enter the atmosphere. Please prepare for protection," Kasa said, looking at the Earth, which was now close at hand.
"Are Xin Dali and the others following us?" Guo Xuyang glanced at the screen but didn't find Xin Dali's spaceship.
"They should be following. Shall we wait for them or enter first?" Kasa asked.
"Let's wait a bit. It would be troublesome if we lost them."
As they were speaking, they saw Xin Dali's spaceship rapidly approaching.
"Yangzi, what's going on? Why did you stop?" Xin Dali's voice came from the screen.
"I was afraid you'd get lost, so I waited for you."
"Let's go, we can keep up with you," Xin Dali said.
"You go ahead and don't wait for us. When you get back to Earth, don't tell them you saw us."
"Why?"
"Something happened at the base, and we're investigating the cause. It's inconvenient for me to appear for now. Inform your teammates not to say they saw me outside."
"Alright, Yangzi, I know what to do. Take care of yourself."
"Go back for now. After I finish with things down here, I'll come back for a drink with you."
"That's absolutely no problem. Food will be plentiful, and drinks will be unlimited."
"It's a deal. You guys go back." Guo Xuyang said and cut off the communication.
"Master, aren't we going back?" Kasa asked, looking up.
"We will. But now is not the best time to go back. Let things get a bit more chaotic down there. Once some fleas jump out, we'll go back and clean up the battlefield."
"Master, I feel an evil presence approaching us."
"Hmm? Is that so? I was afraid of them over there, but I'm not afraid here. The blue Earth behind me is my strongest backing."
"They're here," Kasa said, looking at the screen. Guo Xuyang looked ahead and saw Zhang Li piloting his spaceship towards him.
"Yangzi, you're not waiting for us, are you?"
"Should I call you Zhang Li or something else more appropriate?" Guo Xuyang asked, looking at Zhang Li on the screen, who had a pair of black and evil eyes.
"A name is just a designation; you can call me whatever you like. I won't mind."
"I didn't expect you to be such an interesting person. You suit my taste very well," Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"Should I come over, or will you come?" Zhang Li asked.
"It doesn't matter. I'll wait right here. You just come at me."
Seeing Guo Xuyang say that, Zhang Li didn't dare to be careless and had the creature who could freely possess souls come forward as the vanguard.
"Great King, look at my scrawny arms and legs; I can't even withstand one blow from the opponent." The creature quickly cried out.
"You useless fellow, I promised to give you more benefits once we got to Earth. Forget it, second brother, it seems I can only trouble you. I feel like there's one of your companions inside the opponent's spaceship."
"No problem. But this skin is really cumbersome."
"Why don't you take it off first? Besides, as long as you defeat the opponent, we can get as many such skins as we want."
"Then I'll go scout ahead." The second brother spread his wings and flew into the sky.
