Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 519
519 Hellion Origin Lifeforms (2)
“Let’s disembark.” Three Hellion Origin lifeforms came outside, and one of them put away the spaceship.
“10, 9, 8, 7…” As the time for the commencement of the operation approached, the eyes of the three Hellion Origin lifeforms became filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Let’s go.” The shorter and fatter Hellion Origin lifeform grabbed his two companions.
Buzz!
!!
The three of them disappeared, and almost instantly, they arrived near Dinichthyidae.
“Weak humans.” The tallest Hellion Origin lifeform grinned happily and reached out before wriggling his finger! The most basic life structure of the two billion-plus humans on the planet—be it planetary lifeforms or cosmic lifeforms—was at his mercy.
Constructing life structures was very complicated, but destruction was very simple.
With this flick—
Of the more than two billion humans, be it those who were working hard, playing games, or sleeping, all of their bodies silently disintegrated and turned ethereal. Countless clothes, ornaments, communication devices, and other items fell.
All human life disappeared, wiped out with a flick!
Everything else on the planet was normal except for the disappearance of humans.
The three Hellion Origin lifeforms overlooked everything. They were already used to all of this; all they needed was a flick of their fingers.
“The plunder has to be completed in 30 seconds!” the short and fat Hellion Origin lifeform said.
“Attack.”
“Make the best use of our time.”
The three Hellion Origin lifeforms took action at the same time. They had to gather the spoils of war as quickly as possible.
It’s been more than 13,000 years since the last attack on Dinichthyidae. The wealth on this planet has been built up again. With a thought, the Hellion Origin lifeforms enveloped the habitable planet. Nothing of value on the planet could escape their detection.
…
At the moment Dinichthyidae came under attack, eight other habitable planets in the Ansu Star Alliance were also attacked.
These nine areas instantly updated the virtual world network with information about the attack.
“Nine habitable planets in the Ansu Star Alliance have been simultaneously attacked by Hellion Origin lifeforms.” After the Cosmic Human Alliance received the message, the virtual world immediately issued a mission following procedure.
It didn’t take more than a second from the attack to the issuance of the mission. This was the reaction speed of the virtual world.
…
Xu Jingming sat in a restaurant eating noodles and drinking his beverage as his gaze penetrated the walls. He was watching a group of young men and women practicing their swordsmanship seriously in the Four Seasons Sword Gallery in the distance.
Young people are really full of vigor, he thought.
One could see a longing and anticipation for the future from the youths.
Xu Jingming ate his noodles with relish.
Sigh, with my ability to travel long distances, I can return to the Milky Way in ten minutes, but I can’t. Nothing happened in the past half-year, but I can’t leave for even a moment.
Xu Jingming knew this very well.
Why was he sent here as a defender? Wasn’t it because Primordial Battle Armor #9 had the speed advantage when intercepting Hellion Origin lifeforms?
Every second counted!
“Xu Jingming, please head to Planet Dinichthyidae immediately and kill the plundering Hellion Origin lifeforms!” An order was instantly sent to Xu Jingming through the virtual world network.
He still had noodles in his bowl and a beverage in his hand, but the look in his eyes instantly changed.
He had waited more than half a year for the order to arrive!
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming’s entire body disappeared into thin air.
“Where is he? Where is he? He hasn’t paid!” A service staff member ran over and was surprised to see that Xu Jingming—who was sitting in the corner—had disappeared, but the cutlery was still there.
“Don’t worry. Mr. Ming lives in the mansion next door.” The other waiter didn’t mind.
Life on Jishui remained as calm as ever.
…
Xu Jingming instantly traversed 300 million light-years with Primordial Battle Armor #9. In the past half a year, he had become more familiar with the Primordial Battle Armor and had slightly increased the limit of his long-distance travel.
Quick, quick. Xu Jingming didn’t care about the huge star in front of him. He tried his best to stabilize the spacetime ripples caused by his warping.
Three seconds later, he teleported again.
Whoosh!
When he descended this time, he immediately saw the extremely tiny habitable planet in the distance.
There was about a one-third light-year error.
At such a short distance, he didn’t need to wait for spacetime to stabilize. He only waited for a second before taking a step and entering the atmosphere of Dinichthyidae.
Huh? The three Origin lifeforms scattered across the planet turned their heads at the same time and looked in a direction.
There!
A man in a black robe stood there; he resembled a scholar.
The moment Xu Jingming arrived on the planet, he sensed every area on the planet and understood everything. This also made his face turn slightly pale.
They’re all dead. This was the first time Xu Jingming felt the impact in reality.
He could clearly see that many families still had hot food on the tables, but all that was left were fallen clothes, shoes, and socks.
Many school halls’ projection screens were still playing educational videos, but there were only clothes and other items left in the classroom.
The entire planet was very clean!
The city was well-maintained and had a strong vibrancy. After all, more than two billion people had lived here just ten seconds ago.
The air in certain areas still lingered with the smell of perfume.
But the people… were gone.
This is the calamity brought about by Hellion Origin lifeforms? At this moment, Xu Jingming felt anger, pain, and discomfort… All kinds of emotions surged into his heart.
His heart ached for countless people. These people also had their families and dreams, but he also knew that this was what happened when alien Origin lifeforms appeared. They could wipe out all life on a habitable planet in an instant. This was very common in genocidal wars.
Since he was participating, he knew that this would be a common sight; he had to get used to it.
He had to harden his heart, face all of this calmly, and make the wisest choice.
How uncomfortable. He was furious.
This feeling of helplessness was too unbearable!
If they could end the war, people could enjoy the sun and time and strive for their dreams. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
But he knew very well—even the three Paramounts couldn’t do it! There had been several historical gaps in the human race. The dark ages back then were billions of times more terrifying than the shadow cast on this planet.
No matter how helpless, uncomfortable, or indignant I am, I have to face this reality. Xu Jingming realized something.
Sometimes, being able to face reality was a form of courage.
I’ll try my best to improve it.
Killing one Hellion Origin lifeform equals saving ten or a hundred habitable planets. At this moment, Xu Jingming understood the meaning of his burden!
Although many thoughts ran through Xu Jingming’s mind, less than three seconds had passed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three Hellion Origin lifeforms surrounded Xu Jingming as if they had teleported.
“This human is really fast.”
“We chose a remote habitable planet in the corner of the Ansu Star Alliance, yet he rushed over so quickly. Could he be living in a nearby galaxy?” The three Hellion Origin lifeforms stared at Xu Jingming.
“I sense that he should be a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform.”
“Let’s kill him together in ten seconds.”
The three Hellion Origin lifeforms communicated with each other mentally.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The three of them disappeared. At the same time, three terrifying forces covering more than 1,000 kilometers descended, naturally enveloping Xu Jingming.
A life-and-death battle instantly erupted!
