Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 144: Participating in the Battle


Although Lin Qianxuan really didn't want to fight on the frontline,

he understood one truth.

If the skin is gone, what can the hair attach to?

Besides, with his current strength, he believed that as long as an existence of a higher level like the Turbid God didn't appear, he could still put up a fight.

Moreover, his ability to escape was theoretically stronger than his ability to fight head-on.

"Have you reached the Celestial Rank Level?" Zhang Heng asked Lin Qianxuan for confirmation.

"Yes, I broke through in the Qingling World." Lin Qianxuan briefly explained: "I can achieve an attack stronger than a Celestial Level Spiritual Energy Cannon at a very low cost."

Zhang Heng remained silent for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't agree to Lin Qianxuan's request.

However, the situation was indeed very severe this time.

The Guardian stationed in Pinghai was being held up, creating a breach in the Human Dao defenses, leading to a large number of Outer Realm invaders emerging from Pinghai.

The Guardians in other battle zones could not leave on their own, and now Pinghai was caught in a bitter fight.

If the frontline is breached, with the means these invaders possess, they might plant some kind of seed there.

A single virus could brew into a disaster affecting the entire world.

"Follow me."

Zhang Heng got up and quickly walked out of the office.

Lin Qianxuan followed all the way, and the two of them took the elevator directly to the logistics department of the Otherworld Bureau headquarters.

Previously, Lin Qianxuan had come here to get a Spiritual Energy Cannon.

"Director Zhang."

The staff greeted Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng nodded, then said: "Bring out my battle armor."

"Okay."

The staff nodded, and after some operations, he took out a set of metal armor over two meters high with golden dragon patterns from a large metal box nearby.

The transport vehicle carried it to Zhang Heng's front.

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "Not for me, it's for him."

The staff was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Then the transport vehicle directly moved the set of armor to align with Lin Qianxuan.

"Please make eye contact with the battle armor." The staff instructed Lin Qianxuan.

Following the words, Lin Qianxuan looked towards the battle armor's eyes.

The next moment, the eyes of the battle armor lit up, and a mental fluctuation directly fed back.

"Temporary authentication has been granted, you can wear it at any time." The staff said.

"Director Zhang, I don't need this." Lin Qianxuan said.

"It's not the same as regular combat suits, at the very least ensuring you won't die there. At a critical moment, it can directly take you off the battlefield and transport you back to headquarters," Zhang Heng explained.

"But when I previously crossed..."

"Its value is very high, it can't be remanufactured nowadays, it can't be lost. Additionally, it can only perform fully in our home field on Earth; it won't be of much use if you wear it to the Otherworld."

Lin Qianxuan, hearing this, expressed that his doubts were resolved.

"Get dressed?" the staff asked.

"Get dressed." Zhang Heng nodded.

"Please stand still without dodging or resisting... dressing preparation... 3... 2... 1."

A light flashed, and before Lin Qianxuan reacted, he felt an additional layer of special armor on his body.

He slightly clenched his fist, feeling the sensation transmitted from the armor, so sensitive that it could even detect subtle changes in airflow.

His sense perception, among other sensory impressions, was greatly enhanced, and could be adjusted according to his own consciousness.

This set of battle armor was like a living entity.

Wearing it felt like it was both present and absent.

Information about using the armor quickly passed through Lin Qianxuan's mind.

A map appeared, with a route marked on it.

[Profound Dragon Battle Armor 12452, please respond.]

A voice directly transmitted into his mind.

Lin Qianxuan instinctively responded through thought.

"Received."

[12452, you have entered operational status. This is the Human Dao Space Command Platform, I am [Human Dao], please follow my instructions to head to the Pinghai Battle Zone to participate in the defense campaign.]

Lin Qianxuan looked towards Zhang Heng, who nodded at him and said, "Go ahead, we'll discuss the rest after the battle is over."

[12452, the route has been outlined, please activate the battle armor and set off immediately.]

In front of Lin Qianxuan, a map appeared, displaying a marked route.

A passage not far away had already been opened by the staff.

Recalling the information the armor had uploaded to his mind moments ago, Lin Qianxuan moved through thought, and the next moment, the armor lifted off into the air, and Lin Qianxuan flew straight towards the exit.

Whoosh~!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qianxuan found himself outside in the sky beyond the Otherworld Bureau.

The speed of the armor continued to increase, with all the spiritual patterns on the armor lighting up, naturally forming a shield as they broke through the atmosphere. Lin Qianxuan wasn't exerting any effort, simply letting the armor propel him.

Lin Qianxuan noted the flight speed breaking eight Mach and still increasing, eventually stabilizing at fifteen times the speed of sound.

Moreover, within the armor, Lin Qianxuan felt entirely comfortable.

"Spiritual Technology, what terrifying power!"

Though somewhat beyond his imagination, it was also quite logical.

He had garnered many things from his journey to the Otherworld.

After years of operation, the Otherworld Bureau had advanced in many aspects of technology, and having these means was perfectly reasonable.

The surrounding scenery whizzed by swiftly as Lin Qianxuan focused solely on the changes on the map.

At this speed, it would take just over ten minutes to reach the destination.

....

....

Pinghai.

As Earth's largest oceanic region.

The central zone here was designated as one of the battlefields against foreign enemies by Earth's predecessors.

A separate domain space was sectioned off here, isolating it entirely, with even a single microorganism unable to escape this area.

Currently, it was in the grip of extreme chaos and warfare.

Hot weapons continually bombarded as Transcendents displayed their various abilities, dyeing the sea with blood.

It wasn't just red; there were also green and blue stains since the blood of Otherworld invaders differed greatly from that of Earth's lifeforms.

The Guardian of the Pinghai Battle Zone was Gatling Fendis, one of the only five remaining Guardians on Earth, and the founder of the Radiant Holy Assembly, the strongest current Transcendent organization in Karsel's country.

At this moment, he was confronting an invader from the Otherworld.

The skin covered with a layer of keratin, flat lips, a triangular head, full of fangs, the head like a lizard, yet also like a dinosaur crock, his body, however, was quite similar to a human, albeit much taller, standing at least two and a half meters tall, clad in silver-white armor reminiscent of a medieval warrior, holding an ostentatious double-handed sword.

Even though the opponent's equipment seemed quite outdated, Gatling dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

Because the opponent was also a strong figure who had stepped into this domain.

In this field, external enhancements were generally minimal, and the "principle" one mastered was the key.

"Our world is on the verge of breaking apart, we just hope for a place where we can survive. Your world is vast; any star in the sky is enough to accommodate my clansmen, and there's no need for this meaningless sacrifice," the lizardman Pamos hissed in a hoarse voice.

Before the invasion, he had spent time learning the local language and even the cultural knowledge.

"We said the same thing to the native people before we founded our country, they believed us, and then there were no more natives," Gatling sneered.

Only fools believe the words of these invaders.

Over the years, what hasn't he seen?

Whoever believes such rhetoric is an idiot.

"Your clansmen have already fallen into a disadvantage, if this continues, both sides will suffer heavy losses," Pamos stated.

"As warriors, dying on the battlefield defending their homeland is their honor," Gatling replied with an unchanged expression.

Does he care?

Of course, he cares.

But it's useless.

That's just how things are in the battle zone.

Never mind these warriors, even he might die in here.

Today could even be the day of his death.

The "principle" on the ugly lizard opposite was strong, any flaw during combat and he would be doomed.

Of course, the opponent was also very wary of him.

So after exchanging two moves, both were caught in a stalemate.

Neither wanted to escalate the battle further.

Without absolute certainty of victory, engaging meant consequences both sides found unacceptable.

After all, fighting was always just a means, not an end.

If nothing was left at the end, the war would be meaningless.

Suddenly, Gatling received a message.

Xuan Country had sent a Celestial Rank strongman as reinforcement.

Although it wasn't enough to change the tide of the battle, it should be sufficient to hold out until another Town Guardian returned, or until a Town Guardian from another battle zone finished and came to assist.

In this case, he felt less anxious.

Pamos noticed the change in Gatling's aura, roughly guessing something.

However, how could he be without any preparedness?

"Here they come!"

Gatling sensed a fluctuation in the Barrier of the Pinghai Battle Zone, and the next moment, a figure in Golden Dragon Battle Armor burst through, entering the battle zone.

[Right front, a large number of enemies...]

Lin Qianxuan obeyed the command and quickly flew toward the destination.

Glancing up, it was a chaotic battlefield.

How chaotic?

At first glance, it was impossible to tell who were enemies and who were allies.

Bizarre creatures wielding strange weapons fought with humans from here and there.

In the sky, under the sea, and on a distant island, people were everywhere.

The defensive fortifications on the island were under heavy assault, a large number of lizard-like creatures landing from the sea, storming the lines.

Though they wielded cold weapons, their skin was tough; ordinary firearms couldn't penetrate, bullets sparking off their bodies, only causing a slight recoil, their strength toppling several-ton covers easily.

Only the occasional explosion under the sea could effectively cause some harm.

Moreover, their numbers were staggering.

Around the entire island was surrounded by such creatures, with more constantly emerging from the sea depths.

Amid their assault, the defending warriors sacrificed relentlessly in the overlapping crossfire.

[Enemies marked, launch your attack.]

In Lin Qianxuan's perception, countless individuals suddenly had a red outline, crystal clear.

"Now, no more mistakes!"

With a thought, water within thirteen kilometers surged in waves.

Simultaneously, countless Spirit Swords swiftly flew out from Lin Qianxuan's acupoints, condensing from energy form.

In an instant, two million Spirit Swords appeared amidst towering waves.

Crash, crash, crash~!

Swish, swish, swish~!

In a moment, the Sword Waterfall poured down, swiftly clearing the sea of invaders; wherever the Sword Waterfall passed, only a blur of blood and flesh remained.

The commander of the island's defense watched this scene with an exuberant expression.

"The Town Guardian of Xuan Country has arrived?"

In his understanding, only an existence at the Town Guardian level could wield such overwhelming attack power.

Lin Qianxuan's eyes flickered red as his lifeline fully opened, executing precise and widespread slaughter.

He felt neither discomfort nor nausea.

In the Qingling World, cleansing those impure spirits was even beyond comparison.

As for cruelty or anything?

In his mind, there was only stance, not good or evil.

He was from Earth, and for these outside invaders, he felt not an ounce of pity no matter how many died.

Suddenly, his lifeline glimpsed a scene.

Instinctively, Divine Energy erupted from Lin Qianxuan's feet, his Battle Armor's Spiritual Patterns flashing.

Boom~!

Lin Qianxuan immediately appeared kilometers away.

Simultaneously, where he originally stood, a slender mother lizardman appeared, clutching an emerald-green Bone Dagger in her claws.

Rip~!

A slash appeared across the sea, spanning hundreds of meters, cutting dozens of meters deep.

Lin Qianxuan didn't dodge correctly; this strike should have landed on him.

However, the vision seen by his lifeline did not reflect any penetration, not even leaving a trace on his Battle Armor.

It just pushed him back slightly.

The defensive capability of this Battle Armor was stronger than he imagined.

Now, it was his turn to counterattack; hopefully, this one could withstand.
