Chapter 344: Commander's Trust!
A hint of regret appeared on Ju Ling's face. The strike she had just delivered was her strongest, yet it hadn't managed to kill the Dream Shadow Clan member. Indeed, the Dream Shadow Clan was formidable.
If it had been an ordinary Ninth Order Late-Stage opponent, Ju Ling's Bullet would have pierced through their head. Unfortunately, this person was from the Dream Shadow Clan, and his abilities far surpassed those of an average Ninth Order Late-Stage individual.contemporary romance
At this moment, the live stream feed reappeared, causing concern among the viewers. Almost half of the people displayed injuries, with the most severe being Guangtou Qiang. His body had been impaled by a long spear, leaving a bloody hole.
Had Guangtou Qiang not been a super soldier with a robust physique, he might have already lost his combat capability.
Seeing this scene, the Human Emperor's heart was filled with shock. These individuals were no less powerful than the South Emperor. Yet, when confronting an enemy, it seemed they had been reduced to such a state. If they were to engage, wouldn't they be wiped out instantly?
"Emperor Su, is that person really a Mutant-Emperor? How could he be so strong?" Emperor Kong couldn't help but ask.
He believed he had some understanding of the Emperor Wu. If the Emperor Wu had possessed such immense strength all along, why had he waited until now to intervene? It didn't seem normal.
The other Kings nodded in agreement. A Mutant Emperor achieving such power within a few months was hard to believe.
Su Chen didn't hide anything from the Human Emperor. After all, this was something they needed to know for the future.
"This person isn't a Mutant-Emperor; he's from the Dream Shadow Clan, a unique race from the universe."
Su Chen briefly explained what the Dream Shadow Clan was. When they learned that the Dream Shadow Clan was revered as gods in some cosmic races, their expressions turned grim.
"We're actually opposing a deity?" They couldn't believe it.
Legends of deities existed on Earth too, but from their perspective, these supposed gods were merely powerful beings. Just like how they, in ancient times, would have been seen as gods by humans.
The situation with the Dream Shadow Clan was similar, but they were on a much higher level than the Human Emperor. Even cosmic races regarded them as gods. That was a terrifying notion.
"Doesn't he have any weaknesses?" Western Emperor inquired.
"He might, but we don't know," Su Chen straightforwardly shook his head.
From a logical standpoint, other Human Emperors understood this too. No race was entirely flawless, but not knowing the weaknesses rendered that knowledge useless.
The ongoing battle had not concluded. After disappearing from the dark domain, the super soldiers continued their fight against the Dream Shadow Clan.
The Dream Shadow Clan seemed to have lost its ability to enhance the spear's power, causing its combat strength to diminish significantly. At the moment, both sides appeared to be in a deadlock.
The Human Emperors were brainstorming ways to deal with the situation. This enemy came from beyond Earth, and they couldn't afford to let them win.
Just then, Su Chen stood up and addressed all the Human Emperors. "It looks like it's time for me to step in."
"No!" The Human Emperors all shouted almost simultaneously. Su Chen was the highest leader of the Humans. How could they allow him to intervene? Even if he did intervene, it was their responsibility as Human Emperors to take that role.
"Emperor Su, I know you're an Emperor, but your strength at the Eighth Order Early-Term is still inferior to mine. Let me go; I might be able to injure him slightly," Emperor Kong said seriously.
From a rational perspective, Su Chen shouldn't get involved. If Su Chen encountered trouble, they couldn't imagine how his subordinates would react. After all, Humans had survived up to this point largely due to Su Chen's efforts!
"Yeah, listen to me, let us handle it. You shouldn't go anywhere," Western Emperor advised.
Even Eastern Emperor, who had been silent, spoke up. "Emperor Su, we are the Human Emperors. We've already felt guilty for not being on the frontlines this time. We can't let you take such a great opportunity to shine."
The other Emperors looked at Eastern Emperor in astonishment. Could he really crack jokes too?
Su Chen understood their intentions, but they didn't know his true strength or the changes he had brought to the super soldiers.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention something. A few days ago, I accidentally broke through to the peak of the Eighth Order," Su Chen suddenly said.
Before long, Su Chen teleported to the nearest Sub-base to the battlefield. He piloted the Celestial Armor over and landed on the ground. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he recalled the stunned expressions of all the Human Emperors just a while ago.
Only after Su Chen had left did Eastern Emperor mumble, "No wonder he dared to go. I didn't expect his strength to have far surpassed ours."
"Well, we're getting old," Western Emperor sighed and shook his head.
"If we do manage to regain control of Earth someday, I'll retire too and enjoy my old age," Emperor Kong laughed.
Back on the battlefield, even though the Dream Shadow Clan member had lost the ability to enhance its spear, its combat power still exceeded that of individual super soldiers.
The Dream Shadow Clan understood that the greatest threat present was Ju Ling. Several times, it attempted to approach and eliminate her, but other super soldiers sacrificed themselves to stop it. Especially Boris, the Clone, who repelled several attacks at the cost of numerous injuries, causing his combat strength to plummet.
If Boris hadn't been a clone, he probably would have died long ago.
Suddenly, the expressions of all the super soldiers changed as they heard a voice, not in their heads, but from the sky.
"Dealing with a cosmic trash like this wasted too much time. I'm not pleased."
Su Chen jumped down from the Celestial Armor and landed on the ground. Instantly, all the super soldiers surrounded him, preventing the Dream Shadow Clan from ambushing Commander.
If anything happened to Commander here, they wouldn't be able to show their faces.
The Dream Shadow Clan member halted its attack. The fact that so many individuals were protecting Commander indicated that the person in the middle was crucial.
"Are these your subordinates? I'll give you a chance; lead your people to submit to me. I'll show you just how insignificant this planet's existence truly is!" The Dream Shadow Clan continued to attempt to recruit.
He thought Su Chen was unaware of what lay beyond Earth, not realizing that Su Chen knew things he didn't.
Su Chen ignored him and looked at the super soldiers. His tone was grave. "I'm standing right here. You go take his head off. I just need to see the outcome!"
The super soldiers trembled slightly. With Commander present on the battlefield, it was an unparalleled show of trust. Commander believed that with them here, no one could harm him.
If, even with them here, the enemy managed to hurt Commander, they weren't worthy of being super soldiers.
Suddenly, Su Chen heard a series of sounds from the System: "Congratulations, Master, for surpassing the loyalty limit of all your subordinates. You can now reward them with any ability of your choice. Please select an ability, Master." (To be continued)
