Su Chen's pupils contracted sharply as he faced the onslaught. Despite the numerous defenses, Tanya had still sustained serious injuries. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have fared much better.
Heng's power was terrifyingly formidable!
"Quite a range of abilities, but no matter how strong the defense, it's useless against me," Heng sneered. His figure flashed, appearing in front of Guangtou Qiang.
This stubborn thorn in his side had been irksome for too long, and Heng had long wanted to eliminate him.
In that instant, Guangtou Qiang felt an unprecedented sense of danger. His muscles tensed, his golden skin deepening in hue, as he swung a punch in retaliation.
When facing an enemy, Guangtou Qiang never considered retreat. His mind harbored only one thought – fight!
As soon as they clashed, Heng's spear tore through Guangtou Qiang's defenses. Thankfully, his multiple defensive abilities prevented the spear from severing his wrist, leaving only a deep gash on his arm.
The resilience of Guangtou Qiang's physique was well known among the Super Soldiers. The fact that even he couldn't withstand the sharpness of Heng's spear spoke volumes about its lethalness.
The skirmish, though seemingly prolonged, had all occurred in a mere second. In battles among Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses, a second could determine the outcome.
Fortunately, with the Fein siblings' healing domain, injuries were of little concern. Their goal was simple – land a hit on their opponent.
But their opponent's speed was astonishing, even surpassing instantaneous teleportation. Tanya couldn’t keep up, let alone the others.
Furthermore, with his immunity to physical attacks, nearly half of the Super Soldiers were rendered ineffective.
"Ju Ling, take some men and deal with Giant Bear," Su Chen ordered, strategizing their next move.
He kept only those capable of harming their opponent, like Yuri's psychic power and Lily's super abilities.
Even the Fein siblings were tasked with handling Giant Bear.
Suddenly, Su Chen's forces were significantly reduced.
"Commander, the enemy is formidable," Yuri said gravely. "Unless we can elevate our strength to at least the Seventh Order of the Large Galaxy, our prospects are bleak."
They were clearly outmatched in every aspect. How could they possibly fight back?
Even deploying all their Superweapons might not suffice.
On the surface, they were at a disadvantage, and in reality... it was the same.
Why not consult the miraculous System then?
"System, time to get to work."
"Master, the enemy's true strength is at the Ninth-level Peak of the Large Galaxy, just a step away from Constellation-level. I suggest you consider a retreat."
"If we truly can't win, I'll just shut down and let the System handle it!"
Su Chen knew the enemy was strong, but this was beyond his expectations.
Ninth-level Peak of the Large Galaxy – that's the pinnacle of an Empire's might. Even the Dark God they had encountered before was likely at this level of strength.
Su Chen had forgotten, however, that he was not alone.
"Su Chen, let me handle this," a gentle voice reached his ears. As Su Chen stood there stunned, Leng Yuwei had already vanished.
Suddenly, the space around them was filled with red rose petals, their fragrance overwhelming, completely transforming the battlefield.
Leng Yuwei, in a regal red gown with her long hair flowing and red high heels, almost made Su Chen believe she was that woman from his past!
He scrutinized her closely, relieved to find that it was indeed Leng Yuwei, not someone else.
Leng Yuwei's true combat abilities had always been a mystery, even to Su Chen. He could only speculate based on her appearance.
After all, Leng Yuwei was the second consciousness of that woman, who had absorbed all of her strengths. Her capabilities were undoubtedly formidable.
The origins of that woman were unknown, but her ability to split herself into seven parts indicated immense power.
As Heng casually blocked Lily's super ability attack, his attention shifted to Leng Yuwei.
"Why does your presence feel so familiar to me?" Heng frowned in confusion. "Strange, my memory seems blurred. Impossible!"
As a member of the Dream Shadow Clan, known for their immortality, memory issues were unheard of. They could recall the very moment of their birth.
Yet now, he found this woman inexplicably familiar, but couldn't place her. Something was amiss.
"Who are you?" This was the first time Heng had ever inquired about a human's identity.
If it were any other race in his
Universe, they would be flattered. But he was facing Leng Yuwei.
At her command, the seemingly harmless rose petals became razor-sharp, forming a storm that enveloped Heng.
The petals, transformed into small blades, sliced through Heng, turning him into a bloody mess.
His proud defenses and speed were no match for these petals.
"What are these things?" Heng's expression turned ugly. A woman he felt was off somehow had actually wounded him.
If things continued this way, he might lose this hard-earned body – unacceptable for a Dream Shadow Clan member. Without a body, he would face an interminable wait in line for a new one.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Heng finally got serious.
His race, the Triocular Tribe, was among the most revered in the Universe, even more so than the Protoss. Their defining feature was the third eye, known as the Sky Eye.
With the Sky Eye activated, everything around him came to a standstill – not metaphorically, but literally.
Silence enveloped the area, and time seemed to freeze.
This was the might of the Triocular Tribe – their third eye could manipulate time itself!
Impressive as it sounded, this ability had its limitations. Its range was limited to about ten kilometers, and within this area, only Heng could move.
Moreover, the ability drained energy prodigiously. Each second of use could exhaust him, and Heng could sustain it for no more than ten seconds.
Beyond that, his body would be drained dry, forcing his return to the Dream Shadow Clan's domain.
