The steel blade dripped with the Beast King's crimson blood. The entire deck of the transport ship was enveloped in a thick, bloody stench. Just as Lu Chi spoke those words, another wave of powerful brainwaves surged forward.

*Thump!*

*Thump!*

The closest human attackers and Murphy Law soldiers were the first to be hit. As if electrocuted, they all rolled their eyes back and fainted. In an instant, the vast deck was littered with unconscious humans.

"Roar!"

The dozen or so Beast Kings roared furiously, tearing away their disguises to reveal their hideous true forms.

They were all God-Descended Beast Kings, possessing immense power and unique abilities.

Now, under the impact of the brainwaves, these Beast Kings moved with extreme speed. They leaped wildly across the deck, using their soft feet and suckers to grab the unconscious humans and hurl them at Lu Chi and the others. They retreated swiftly, barely avoiding the range of the brainwave attack.

*Shriiip!*

The Pioneer warriors charged forward, fueled by their deepest hatred for the Beast Kings.

The Beast Kings showed no mercy to either the human attackers or the Murphy Law soldiers, indiscriminately throwing them all.

However, the fact that these were humans slowed the Pioneers' blades.

The Pioneers' homelands had been destroyed by the Beast Kings. They harbored the deepest hatred for them, but faced with fellow humans, even "allied" Murphy Law soldiers, they instinctively couldn't bring themselves to cut them down like lifeless obstacles!

They hesitated. Some chose to swing their blades, but more Pioneers chose to use their free left hands to push the airborne humans away from themselves.

This action slowed them down by 0.5 seconds.

*Pfft!*

At that moment, a soft foot, like a cannonball tearing through the rain, crossed the dozen or so meters in an instant, piercing straight through a Pioneer warrior's chest.

Scalding blood splattered on the faces of the Pioneers beside him. The pained roar of their comrade instantly brought them back to their senses.

This was a battlefield of life and death. Once you stepped onto it, you had to make your heart harder than the hardest steel, colder than the coldest ice. If you couldn't do that, death would be your final destination!

Someone roared in fury, activating their God-Descended abilities.

Extreme Speed…

Bloodthirst…

Agility…

Savagery…

All sorts of berserk God-Descended abilities were unleashed. These Pioneer warriors, like a pack of wolves, tore through everything in their path, charging towards the dozen or so Beast Kings.

*Crack!*

The entire deck of the ship vibrated violently. A Beast King struck the hull with its limbs, causing the entire ship to shake. Many steel connection points began to crack. This was a terrifying God-Descended ability: "Resonance."

Every object has its own natural frequency. When an external force applies the same frequency, it amplifies the object's vibration, leading to its destruction.

Buildings, icebergs, machines—anything that seems indestructible can be broken by this seemingly insignificant vibration.

The Beast King's purpose was clear: to sink the ship and plunge everyone into the sea.

The ocean was their absolute domain.

*Crack!*

*Crack!*

Deep cracks appeared on the deck and gunwales. Even steel began to crumble.

*Whoosh!*

A long blade arrived with the force of a gale, piercing straight into the Beast King's giant claw. Immediately following was an incendiary bomb.

The incendiary bomb, covered in viscous adhesive, exploded on the Beast King, instantly engulfing its limbs. The raging flames burned furiously, and from within the inferno came the sound of its carapace exploding and a shrill, miserable howl.

In a matter of seconds, this Beast King was reduced to a pile of twisted, charred remains!

Lu Chi gently tugged, retracting the steel cable attached to the hilt of his steel blade. The alloy steel blade, which had also been roasted in the flames for several seconds, returned to his hand like lightning. It felt only slightly warm, not scalding.

All of this happened in a flash of lightning.

From the moment Lu Chi said he would turn the Beast Kings into mincemeat until now, only ten seconds had passed. The battle had only just entered a fever pitch.

Most of these Beast Kings disguised as humans were smaller in size and possessed soft feet and limbs. Their size was similar to that of humans, which allowed them to pilot helicopters and use human weapons. Now, the Beast Kings had seized machine guns, flamethrowers, and other weapons of mass destruction from the human attackers and began to fight back.

A dozen octopuses wielding machine guns and flamethrowers—doesn't that sound ridiculous? Funny?

But if this scene were to actually happen before your eyes, you would feel the ultimate terror. These machine guns and flamethrowers wouldn't differentiate their killing power based on who was using them. Whether it was a seven-year-old child, a strong man, or an octopus firing bullets, they could all shatter a person's head.

*Da da da!*

Bullets and columns of fire, dozens of meters long, poured towards Lu Chi and his group. Some Beast Kings emitted ear-piercing screams that made eardrums throb and blood rush to the brain, causing dizziness.

This was also a type of God-Descended ability.

On the battlefield of this transport ship, God-Descended abilities and modern weapons worked together. The goal of both the Beast Kings and the Pioneers was the same: to tear the other side to pieces.

Lu Chi threw two Ancient-grade fruits into his mouth and charged directly into the battlefield, sword in hand. Facing the incoming bullets and flames, he didn't dodge or evade. The bullets struck his chest. Even with the protection of his battle suit, which had astonishing defensive capabilities, the huge impact still caused subcutaneous bleeding. The high temperature of the flamethrower also instantly scorched his exposed skin, causing it to crack and burst open. Fresh blood had just flowed out when it was baked into black-red scabs.

"Vitality decreasing!"

"Berserk God-Descent activated!"

"Pain perception decreased!"

"Speed and attack power increased by thirty percent!"

Lu Chi felt the bullets in front of him slow down in an instant. His movements became incredibly swift, and the steel blade in his hand was like a sailboat tearing through the sea, cutting a clear line of death across this chaotic battlefield.

*Clang!*

The sound of a blade cutting through steel rang out. Lu Chi's figure appeared behind a Beast King like a ghost. Both a flamethrower and the Beast King's body were cleanly sliced in half.

Blood, internal organs, and steel parts scattered everywhere.

Another Pioneer warrior charged forward, his steel blade falling, dismembering a Beast King.

The third, the fourth…

All the way until the thirty-seventh God-Descended Pioneer warrior stood beside Lu Chi, covered in blood. Before them, there were no more Beast Kings capable of resisting.

It took a total of thirty seconds to resolve this battle.

Lu Chi's chosen method of attack was extremely violent and direct.

That was to charge! Charge!

No matter how fierce the enemy's firepower, as long as he could still stand, as long as he still had the strength to wield his blade, he would crush them head-on!

Although this battle style would result in heavy casualties, it was undoubtedly the most terrifying and the most capable of building a reputation!

This was the philosophy that Li Tianran had once told Lu Chi.

He had a wish that one day, when the Pioneer Legion stood before the enemy, they wouldn't need to draw their swords. The formidable reputation and momentum built through their tough style alone would be enough to make the enemy tremble with fear!

Just like the Sichuan Army during the Yanhuang War of Defense. They weren't large in number, and their weapons weren't sophisticated, but they were the most feared by the enemy!

Why?

One word: fierce!
