Controller was taken aback as he instantly unleashed his Domain, forming a layer of water film around him.
His control was over the Domain of Water!
Although such a Domain was not considered highly lethal, its defensive capabilities were absolutely top-notch.
Li Shaolong's fist landed on the water membrane, but it remained intact.
With a cold sneer, Controller was about to speak when he suddenly felt a surge of energy bombard his internal organs, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"How is this possible? My Domain is unbroken. How could he have injured me?" Controller couldn't believe it.
Li Shaolong, of course, would not explain. It was merely a Special Technique, and in the Feathered Warbler Empire, such techniques were quite rare.
Li Shaolong, known for his ruthlessness and few words, continued to pound the water membrane with dozens of fists. Each strike caused him immense pain.
The surrounding heavyweights initially wanted to step in to lend a hand, hoping for an assist, but upon witnessing this scene, they recoiled.
To think that this man could even beat Controller into such a state - wouldn't they be simply courting death by stepping up?
They knew that at their best, they were but Small Galaxy Sixth Order, Seventh Order warriors. Not one among them was an eighth order, and facing an enemy that even a Small Galaxy Ninth Order couldn't defeat, they truly didn't dare to advance.
Among them, the most regretful was Duan Jian. He originally could have aligned himself with Li Shaolong, but he had stubbornly pushed him away. He was now seriously contemplating whether he could still switch allegiances at this point.
Li Shaolong was not as relaxed as he appeared. Facing a Small Galaxy Ninth Order powerhouse, he had employed almost all his surface strength, aside from his most hidden capabilities.
Even so, he could only suppress his opponent slightly. Killing him was not yet feasible.
The people around had become spectators, watching the battle between the two powerhouses, which was also beneficial for them.
Had it not been for both individuals' concerns for the planet below, their manner of combat could have potentially turned distant lands into massive craters. Such was the terror of a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse.
While Li Shaolong and Controller were locked in combat, Alice, controlling the other side, began establishing bases in various locations on Borderlink Star with her Red Alert troops. With sufficient Energy Points, she could recklessly construct various facilities.
Feeling that it was about the right time, she directly initiated the war.
During the combat, Alice collected various pieces of intelligence.
"It's strange. This planet seems not to have encountered any disaster, excluding us, of course," Alice murmured to herself.
She had initially thought other places were the same but found, unexpectedly, that this Empire seemed somewhat different.
Alice knew that when the Apocalypse occurred on Earth, it was triggered by two extremely rare substances, Blue Crystal and Red Crystal. A question emerged in her mind.
Who placed these substances on Earth?
If it was an accident, why did various disasters occur across the Rota Empire?
Curious about these unknowns, Alice had gathered a lot of information along her journey.
Conquering Borderlink Star was just part of her data collection process.
As the two sides were engaged in an intense stalemate, Alice, who had been monitoring the world, suddenly noticed a subtle change across the entire planet. This shift was so covert that had she not been surveilling every corner of the planet round the clock, she might not have detected it.
"This... is this a Mutant?" Alice blinked in surprise.
The map had just shown that within a certain city, a Mutant had suddenly appeared. Clearly human just a second before, in the next, they had transformed into a Mutant. The speed of this change was so swift that even Alice almost missed it.
This emergence of a Mutant was just the beginning. Simultaneously, in various locations across Borderlink Star, Mutants were appearing. She knew this was the Apocalypse of Borderlink Star!
"It's unexpected that Borderlink Star couldn't avoid the emergence of the Apocalypse. But what exactly is happening? I didn't detect anything before. What caused these Mutants to appear? Is it some kind of virus in the air, or is there something inherently wrong with the planet itself?" Alice pondered, unable to understand.
Regardless of Alice's thoughts, the fact that this planet was facing an Apocalypse was undeniable.
Unlike Earth, this world was immediately thrust into a hellish difficulty due to the existence of Transcendents.
If someone turned into a Mutant while being just an ordinary person, their strength as a Mutant would be at most first-level.
However, if that individual was a Transcendent before, the Mutant’s strength would rise a level beyond the Transcendent!
Suddenly, Borderlink Star was thrown into chaos.
The Controller, currently in battle with Li Shaolong, was in a panic, finding himself inexplicably outmatched by Li Shaolong, and subtly falling into a disadvantage, which he couldn't believe.
In the midst of their fight, he suddenly heard a series of roars around him. These sounds were barely recognizable as human.
He risked a glance and what he saw made his pupils contract.
He saw that one of the influential leaders who had been sitting next to him had turned into a monstrous creature with peeling skin and blood all over, who had bitten through the neck of another leader beside him!
The Controller had never seen such a thing, but Li Shaolong had.
"Why have Mutants appeared? Has this planet also encountered an Apocalypse?" Li Shaolong wondered, confused.
With such developments, it was difficult for the battle to continue, as everyone was fighting against the Mutants.
Li Shaolong reported the situation to the Commander at the first opportunity.
"Oh? So Borderlink Star is also experiencing an Apocalypse. Could there be a time delay in the onset of the Apocalypse?" Su Chen stroked his chin, feeling that something was amiss with the appearance of this Apocalypse.
While Earth's Apocalypse was triggered by the Blue and Red Crystals, what about Borderlink Star?
This was the second planet he had seen undergoing a Mutant Apocalypse, and it held significant reference value.
So, Su Chen instructed Li Shaolong to take control of the planet as quickly as possible. He would have Yun Ru go and study the specific circumstances of Borderlink Star.
As for the planet's Mutants, it didn't matter if they weren't all killed off, as Mutants inherently lacked intelligence from the start.
On Earth, if it weren't for the existence of the Bloodline Wisdom Pearl, they would never have gained intelligence, even at death.
The Bloodline Wisdom Pearl had some connection to the Dream Shadow Clan. Without it, the Mutants of Borderlink Star were destined to be devoid of intelligence.
In this chaotic environment, the Red Alert soldiers were like fish in murky water, conquering surrounding cities while spreading the might of the Red Alert Empire.
Perhaps due to the System, not a single Red Alert soldier turned into a Mutant, and their strength greatly shocked the inhabitants of Borderlink Star.
At that moment, a dark shadow appeared in the sky above Borderlink Star, eerily undetectable by Spy Satellites.
"The Red Alert Empire, following the Qiluo Civilization, becomes the second power capable of conquering galaxies. Why can't I cultivate such a force? What secrets does Earth hold?"
