Chapter 945: Chapter 813: Escape
Mars had a considerable mindset prepared for an Electromagnetic Attack.
Even though he encountered an ambush, the first two Electromagnetic Attacks didn’t surprise him and he managed to withstand them all.
But... to have three Electromagnetic Supremes emerge, well damn, that’s completely unexpected!
Mars had been a Supreme for a long time, and to say the least, he had the insight.
He could absolutely tell the difference between three attacks from one Supreme and three attacks from three different Supremes.
Not to mention the attack interval of Techniques, just the affinity, application, and micro operation with elements vary among different people.
He could definitely confirm that the opponents truly had three Electromagnetic Supremes!
Considering this, he almost wished to turn around and run away, filled with regret.
If he had known that the other side was an organization with three Electromagnetic Supremes, he wouldn’t have involved himself in this mess no matter what!
In other words, if there are three Electromagnetic Supremes, how many more Supremes with other Attributes could there be?
This was not something an ordinary large force could possess; it was entirely a superpower!
Having one or two Electromagnetic Supremes could be a coincidence, but three... that’s definitely not a coincidence!
Mars had a good relationship with the Divine Text Association; otherwise, he wouldn’t know about the reinforcements over there.
But even for the Divine Text Association, they only had four... at most five Electromagnetic Supremes!
Moreover, these were not even Supremes owned by the Divine Text Association; it was merely that they could mobilize such combat power!
Especially the third attack, which was both seasoned and smooth, clearly from a veteran Supreme.
For Mars to have actively provoked such a behemoth... at that moment, he wished to die.
However, it was too late to regret now; he was paralyzed all over, unable even to utter a word as lightning swiftly struck down.
Yet, upon reaching the ground, this thick bolt of lightning instantly divided into countless smaller bolts.
The single Technique turned into a Range Technique—just like a textbook example of standards!
Normally, when turning into a Range Technique, its power per unit area would decrease, which should be a reason for joy.
But Mars couldn’t feel any happiness because he was very aware that the opponent aimed to obstruct others’ support!
The squad he brought with him was the elite of the Military; there was no doubt in either combat sense or reaction that they were top-notch.
The squad sent from Star No. 2 to support couldn’t be bad either.
If the opponent had only focused on him, these squads could have reacted accordingly, and not too slowly.
But the opponent even considered this, which meant that he couldn’t get effective reinforcement in the short term!
These squads might have lightning protection devices, but clearly, their defense wouldn’t be too good.
The military had relatively better lightning protectors, but traditionally, they would be very conspicuous in shape,
but these people were deliberately keeping a low profile, unwilling to reveal themselves, so naturally, they didn’t equip such good defenses.
The most hateful thing was, the opponent first cast a very rare "Gravity Technique," severely interfering with their squad’s reaction.
Amidst the deafening thunder, the fourth lightning bolt struck down.
"This is a repeat of the Thunder Technique!" Mars had already determined that this lightning was cast by the first person.
Unfortunately, in his paralyzed state, he couldn’t utter a word, not even able to outspread his Spiritual Power.
So, they also only had three Electromagnetic Supremes... wait, did I misuse the word "only"?
This Electromagnetic Technique was also a Group Attack Technique.
Next up was the fifth strike... still a repeat of casting, still a Group Attack!
The sixth Electromagnetic Technique descended, wait... this time, finally, it wasn’t a Group Attack!
It was coming straight for me! Mars looked at the bowl-sized lightning descending, and this thought appeared in his mind at the last moment.
He indeed had lightning protection gear, and his Wood Armor was quite solid, but... dismissing the attack frequency and intensity when discussing defense, that’s just playing around!
In the next moment, a figure flashed by, and Mars’s head vanished.
Then, another figure swept by, and Mars’s clothing disappeared!
The attackers’ efficiency was extremely high; from the first lightning to the sixth, it took less than half a minute in total.
The frequent and intense lightning plunged everyone into a brief blindness, leaving only the smell of burnt flesh.
When everyone regained normal vision, all that was left was a headless corpse and a few disoriented brutes.
It was only then that cries of alarm resounded one after another.
Over a minute later, the Star Port Guard rushed over, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Strictly speaking, there were also other guards around the Star Port, but... they were auxiliary, everyone understood that.
Handling minor disputes was fine, but facing Supreme Level Magical Combat... if they didn’t wet their pants, they were considered brave!
Only those officially on duty had to respond to the notification, but they didn’t forget to bring weapons and armor with them either.
There was nothing they could do; when officially on duty, in times of crisis, there was no escaping the responsibility.
Just as the guards arrived, the "Omen Ship" soared into the air, disappearing beyond the atmosphere.
The attackers involved were only Bentley, Paranoid, and Qu Jianlei, while Granny Jia, as always, was responsible for secret support.
The three of them left after the fight, Qu Jianlei took the heads, and Bentley cleaned up the battlefield.
The Paranoid seemed to do nothing, but he inadvertently released a supreme pressure, affecting others’ reactions.
The coordination of these three could be described as exquisite.
As for quickly infiltrating the Star Port, besides the influence of Spiritual Power, Little Lake also contributed by at least altering some images.
Unfortunately, its contribution could only be appreciated by Qu Jianlei and the Paranoid, others didn’t even know of its existence.
This made Big Head Butterfly feel somewhat unsatisfied as an "unsung hero."
However, in the end, someone did notice its achievements.
Shortly after the starship took off, Blair couldn’t hold back any longer, "Boss, aren’t you worried about missing this starship?"
The Fourth Master said nothing, but was also filled with curiosity, looking at Qu Jianlei with surprise.
Qu Jianlei smiled, "We’ll definitely make it, we have our own people in the Star Port."
"Yeah," the Paranoid continued, "we could have taken off long ago, we’ve been waiting for the four of us to return!"
"Is that so?" Claire blinked, "Then this insider is quite impressive."
Big Head Butterfly flittered in Qu Jianlei’s mind, proudly remarking, "This little girl... has a keen eye."
The scene shifts back to the Star Port, and after the guards arrived, three more minutes passed before a large number of City Guards arrived, accompanied by warships.
This was the largest takeoff and landing Star Port on Star No. 2, and such a tragic incident happening here shocked the entire planet.
Strictly speaking, greater tragedies have happened on Star No. 2, but this was a Star Port, the face of the entire planet!
Most of those going in and out here are civilians, what kind of grievances caused someone to fight so fiercely at the Star Port?
The worst part is that this place is a transportation hub, with people coming and going of all kinds.
If something happens here, it will spread throughout the entire Empire in a very short time.
Simply put, even putting aside casualties and losses, the impact is at least enormous.
An hour later, the fifth-ranking official of Star No. 2’s central government arrived at the scene.
He really didn’t want to come, but the top-ranking official was on vacation, and the second-ranking official, the executive deputy, went to the Star of Hope on business.
The third-ranking official, considered the next executive deputy, suddenly had a relapse of an old illness and went into closed-door meditation tonight.
The fourth-ranking official said it was none of his business, the fifth-ranking official was responsible for liaising with the military, wasn’t he?
The fifth-ranking official couldn’t avoid coming; he really had no one to pass the buck to. If he dared to shirk responsibility, he wouldn’t know how many responsibilities he’d have to shoulder tomorrow.
He took a cursory look around, "Hmm, the perpetrator is too vicious, report to the Star Domain Government, requesting assistance."
Half an hour later, someone from the Star Domain Government’s duty room responded, "This matter is quite serious, ordering the responsible officials to conduct a thorough investigation!"
It sounded like a very ordinary sentence, no more than an order to investigate thoroughly.
But the fifth-ranking official was too clear about this set—if the investigation yielded no results, he would be the "responsible official"!
He’d have to take the fall! He directly jumped up, "The supreme who was killed was Mars, affiliated with the military of Star No. 3!"
"Yes, we know, the military’s supreme status is sensitive, but... his poison has already killed hundreds of people!"
Mars really got caught off guard, but even worse, he instinctively took protective measures.
For a supreme of Poison Attribute, there’s really no need to deliberately release toxins; in ordinary life, he actually needs to be careful to contain the toxins.
Releasing some toxins randomly would be enough to drink two bottles for ordinary people.
Mars, as an experienced supreme, had mastery in releasing and containing toxins; it would be impossible to make mistakes.
But when confronted with a fatal attack, he instinctively tried to retaliate, and couldn’t care about much else.
—He was about to go down himself, how could he care about the lives of others?
Moreover, after six consecutive Thunder Techniques, his body was not only rigid but also a bit scorched, so his control power naturally decreased.
After losing his head, he could no longer control the toxins in his entire body.
Thus, hundreds of people suffered, and thousands more were undergoing emergency rescue.
This is why the military generally doesn’t dare to release Poison Attribute Awakened; the consequences of losing control are truly too frightening.
The fifth-ranking official’s reaction could also be considered as giving as good as he got... your supreme of Poison Attribute has really pitted us badly!
"Also, we weren’t informed about Mars’s arrival, wasn’t he supposed to land at the military port? We need an explanation!"
"We need an explanation too!" the other side reacted angrily, "He encountered a precise attack, how was the information leaked?"
"Don’t ask me about this," the fifth-ranking official responded decisively, "we are from the central government system, I said we didn’t even know he was coming!"
This statement implicitly pointed the suspicion towards the military’s internal affairs.
At this moment, the military’s warship also arrived, and surprisingly, a regiment-level warship was among them!
As soon as the warship arrived, it quickly sealed off the scene but did not interfere with the government staff.
If they restricted the government personnel’s freedom, the military would definitely have to take the blame.
In fact, the people from the Military Region of Star No. 2 were also puzzling over how the information got out.
