A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 182: Chapter 148 Awakening_1

The White-armored Pig-faced Monster believed his plan was brilliant. Although they lost the Wan Yi battleship, everything would be fine as long as they could capture the Traveler.

He was not worried about any possible resistance from the Guardians. He had blocked the Traveler’s light energy. Now, without the protection of light energy, the Guardians were helpless against the Cabal Fleet…

At least, that’s how it was supposed to be.

But what was happening now?

Looking at the Holy City under heavy fire, the White-armored Pig-faced Monster’s face was darker than coal. He didn’t expect to be attacked by a bunch of strange anti-aircraft vehicles that suddenly emerged just as he led his fleet to the Holy City. The Cabal Fleet suffered heavy losses due to the unexpected counterattack.

Although they were outnumbered and quickly turned the tide, the situation leaned to his favor, but it did nothing to lift the monster’s spirits. Those damned anti-aircraft vehicles slowed his approach to the Traveler significantly. What infuriated him even more was the enemy using the Traveler as a shield to launch attacks.

This made the White-armored Pig-faced Monster furious. He didn’t dare order a full counterattack; if they made a mistake and destroyed the restrainer or damaged the Traveler, their efforts would be in vain!

He didn’t expect these damned bastards to be so despicable!

However, just as the White-armored Pig-faced Monster was at his wits’ end, a piece of news from his subordinate sent his heart sinking.

“The Wan Yi battleship has been occupied by the enemy?!”

Upon hearing the news, he reached out and grabbed his subordinate by the neck (does a pig-faced monster have a neck?), lifting him up angrily.

“Say that again? Occupied? Not destroyed?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If it was destroyed, the White-armored Pig-faced Monster could understand, given the terrifying firepower of the human warship. The Cabal Empire had never encountered such a powerful warship. Therefore, it would be understandable if the Wan Yi battleship was destroyed by the attack.

But… occupied?

Overtaking a warship is a completely different challenge from destroying one!

Let alone, the Wan Yi battleship is the largest battleship of the Cabal. How could it be occupied in such a short time?!

“Damn it! It’s impossible! What the hell is that idiot doing?! Doesn’t he realize the importance of protecting the treasures of the Cabal Empire?!”

The captain of the Wan Yi battleship was the monster’s confidant. He should know well to initiate a self-destruction program when unable to defend the battleship. How could he commit such a foolish error?!

“Is this information true?”

“I, I don’t know. After the incident, the communication was cut off. It could also be a false alarm…”

“Damn!”

Throwing his subordinate aside, the White-armored Pig-faced Monster gritted his teeth, staring at the Traveler who was now completely restrained. Though he wished he had more time, it seemed… he had no choice!!

“Full speed ahead, prepare the energy conversion device!”

In any case, he had no room to retreat. As long as he could take the light energy, everything would be worth it!!

Soon, under the command of the White-armored Pig-faced Monster, the Cabal Fleet advanced again. Despite their heavy casualties, they arrived at the Traveler smoothly. Those enemy forces that were previously using the Traveler as a shield also dispersed, apparently unable to impede their progress any longer.

Soon, the Cabal’s flagship reached the Traveler. Looking at the massive black sphere that was completely covered in darkness, he reached out his hand. The restrainer covering the Traveler began to glow a deep red color. At the same time, a powerful force emerged from it, covering the White-armored Pig-faced Monster via the flagship’s teleporter.

“Ohhhhhhhh!!!”

Feeling this intense power, the White-armored Pig-faced Monster clenched his fists and roared.

He could feel this immense power entering his body. This was the power of the Guardians. This was the power of Light Energy!!

As long as he had this power, the Cabal and the Empire could rise once more and even rule the entire Milky Way…!!

However, the White-armored Pig-faced Monster’s dream ended there.

Because, at that moment, a large, black figure dropped from the sky onto the deck of the flagship.

“Boom!!!”

The massive impact was so hard that the sturdy deck directly caved in. Duanmu Huai stood up from the wreckage and looked at the Monster, his body shrouded in powerful energy.

“Oh, sorry to disturb you, but your time is up, humble alien.”

“How foolish…,” he muttered. The surging energy abruptly disappeared. The White-armored Pig-faced Monster, his body full of fiery power, slowly rose to his feet.

“Look at me, I am the Lord of the Crimson Legion, the Destroyer of Suns, the Annihilator of Countless Worlds—”

Who the hell wants to hear your prattle!

But before the White-armored Pig-faced Monster could finish, Duanmu Huai gripped his Thunder Warhammer, leaped forward, and directly attacked his opponent. Why do these idiotic things all have the same compulsive need for a monologue before a battle? Who the hell cares about your opening CG (computer graphic)? A dying CG might be more interesting!

Besides, you’re all going to die— who cares about your name?!

Just SKIP it!

“You…!!!”

The White-armored Pig-faced Monster went pale with rage as Duanmu Huai launched an attack before he could finish his speech.

“You’re too late!!!”

Roaring in fury, the white-armored pig-faced monster raises his right hand, as he concentrates light energy in it, and creates a flame blade. He then violently slashes towards the airborne Duanmu Huai. A burst of flame sword light rips through the long sky, shooting towards Duanmu Huai. The jet pack behind Duanmu Huai accelerates again, whisking him past the flame sword light. Then Duanmu Huai leaps down, the Thunder Warhammer in his hand heavily collides with the flame blade in the white-armored pig-faced monster’s hand.

“Boom!!!”

As their bodies make contact, the reflection of Duanmu Huai’s dark figure, cloaked in power armor, flashes in the eyes of the white-armored pig-faced monster, awakening a very palpable fear inside him. The hand holding the flame blade trembles slightly, revealing some vacillation as he tries to block Duanmu Huai’s full-strength blow and gets knocked back.

This makes the white-armored pig-faced monster incredulous, but his incredulity quickly gives way to anger – How dare a mere human defy the Lord?!

“You will regret this! Human!!!”

Filled with rage, the white-armored pig-faced monster raises his flame blade and attacks Duanmu Huai again.

“Your Traveler should have chosen me, but now it’s too late! Look at your dying God; incapable of saving humans ever again!”

“And pitiful aliens like you have no right to exist in this world.”

Duanmu Huai was brandishing his warhammer, fighting the white-armored pig-faced monster once again.

“I will kill you, and then destroy your fleet, your civilization, your empire! In the name of the Tribunal! Any entity that dares to threaten humans will be utterly obliterated! Your annihilation will mark the beginning! All Cabals will be purified!”

“Boom!!!”

The heavy hammer strikes hard against the flame blade. Duanmu Huai looks coldly at the pig-faced monster and gives a gruesome, savage sneer.

“I will use your Wan Yi battleship to destroy your world – let your homeland burn in the fury of stars. Your descendents, your civilization, everything you hold dear will turn to dust in the eternal cosmos, and that will be the price you aliens pay for your abominable deeds!”

“Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the white-armored pig-faced monster gets so angry that his eyes turn red. He stomps on the ground, hoping to knock Duanmu Huai back. However, Duanmu Huai barely budges in response to his attack.

“You, you have no idea what sacrifice or value is!”

With a roar from the white-armored pig-faced monster, a more powerful light energy force irrupts from him. This time Duanmu Huai can’t resist it; he gets blown away.

“You humans are not fit to possess this power, only I, only I can win the favor of light energy!!!”

The white-armored pig-faced monster jumps up, raises his flame blade, and slashes down hard at Duanmu Huai.

“Die!!! ”

However, he doesn’t see the glint of light that flashes between Duanmu Huai’s fingers.

“!!!”

The very next moment, invisible silken threads that intertwine like a web bind the white-armored pig-faced monster. Ogis appears out of thin air behind the white-armored pig-faced monster, next to her, the giant guardian puppet stretches out its arms, immobilizing the pig-faced monster, suspending him in mid-air.

“What… is this…?”

The white-armored pig-faced monster clearly didn’t expect that. Bewildered, he freezes. However, Duanmu Huai couldn’t care less about what his opponent was thinking – a Judge always uses any means necessary to achieve their goal and eliminate the target!

“Attack!!!”

Seizing the moment when the white-armored pig-faced monster is restrained by Ogis, Duanmu Huai jumps up, draws his chainsaw sword from his waist, and attacks the pig-faced monster with all his might!

“Buzz!!! ”

The whirring chainsaw cuts through the pig-faced monster’s skin, muscles, bones, and innards all the way down without any hindrance. When Duanmu Huai lands back on the ground, the pig-faced monster has been split in two. With Ogis letting go of her threads, the white-armored pig-faced monster’s corpse splits apart, the mixture of blood and entrails splattering on the ground.

Then a dazzling radiance suddenly bursts from the body of the pig-faced monster. A beam of pure white light shoots into the sky, turning into a phantom with wings, seemingly made of light and shadow.

“Traveler!!!”

The phantom of the pig-faced monster outstretches its arms towards the Traveler.

“Can you see me now? I’m immortal! I’ve become a God!!!”

“!!!”

However, before the pig-faced monster can even finish his sentence, the Thunder Warhammer whistles past, piercing right through his body, and striking hard on the Traveler’s restrainer.

“Crack.”

A tiny crack.

The restrainer binding the Traveler soon breaks; cracks spread all over, and divine brilliance emerges, seeming solid enough to cut into the spiritual body of the pig-faced monster.

“No-no!!!”

As the dazzling light completely breaks through the gloom of the Traveler, the soul of the pig-faced monster dissipates in the radiance.

“Good job.”

Watching the glowing sphere, bright as a spotlight, Duanmu Huai gives a smirk.

“This guy finally woke up.”
