The silent void of space, raging thunder flashing, a black giant beast lashed out its massive tail amid the storm, sparks shooting forth far brighter than usual.
Su Liang, clad in Space Battle Armor, narrowly evaded the alien’s tail strike with an energy boost from his feet, flipping mid-air to land behind the alien. In his hands, Thunder Power condensed into a massive spear, which he thrust downward fiercely.
The Alien Queen seed to anticipate this, showing no fear of the Thunder Spear. Its sharp tail swept horizontally with incredible force, forcing Su Liang to maneuver his Battle Armor to retreat a safe distance.
Overwhelming Thunder Star Power surged through the Space Battle Armor, forming a giant net in Su Liang’s hands that enveloped the Alien Queen.
However, the Alien Queen’s exoskeleton seed to act as an insulator, reflecting the Thunder Power back while simultaneously spraying corrosive mucus from its mouth, catching Su Liang off guard.
As Su Liang scrambled to clear the corrosive mucus, the Alien Queen’s spinal exoskeleton armor emitted invisible energy, propelling it swiftly toward the spacecraft.
The spacecraft, now overrun by a swarm of Facehuggers, had its propulsion system utterly disabled, leaving it defenseless against the Alien Queen’s clutches.
Upon witnessing this scene, Su Liang grew desperate. He quickly tapped his Space Wristwatch, summoning the towering 50-ter Dangerous Wanderer cha into space.
Though a third-level cha, it lacked integration with Cosmic Creature tal and substantial amounts of Cosmic teorite Gold, making it little more than cannon fodder against Nightmare-level Monsters.
Su Liang flashed into the cha’s cockpit, activating the propulsion system and positioning himself rapidly in front of the Alien Queen.
The soundless battle resud. The third-level cha was swiftly pierced by the Alien Queen’s razor-sharp tail weapon, sparks flying in all directions.
"Damn it, there’s no other choice."
Su Liang gritted his teeth, tapping the virtual interface to initiate the self-destruct sequence before quickly escaping the cockpit.
Seconds later, a blinding explosion erupted, the energy shockwaves dispersing widely, forcibly hurling both Su Liang and the Alien Queen tens of kiloters apart.
The spacecraft was caught in the blast but drifted rapidly toward Earth.
re seconds passed before the Alien Queen reappeared in space, quickly continuing its pursuit of the spacecraft.
From afar, Su Liang saw this, his face turning pale with alarm.
"No, I have to give it my all!"
In an instant, his right foot radiated with golden energy, shimring like a miniature sun in the depths of space.
If the spacecraft were destroyed, everyone aboard would perish here!
Just as the golden energy on his right foot was about to fully condense, a dazzling golden radiance erupted from the spacecraft, even brighter than the glow from his own foot.
"What... what’s happening to the spacecraft?" Su Liang exclaid in shock.
The spacecraft began emanating golden light, transforming the silver vessel into a glimring, golden beacon.
Bathed in this aura, both the Alien Queen and Su Liang found themselves stricken with an inexplicable sense of deep-seated fear.
The Alien Queen, poised to strike with its sharp tail, was montarily stunned by this overwhelming dread, hesitating on whether to proceed.
The spacecraft’s hatch cracked open slightly, and from within, a black silhouette erged, floating effortlessly in the void of space with sheer bodily strength.
The figure, standing just over two ters tall, wore a steel helt covering its face, sporting shoulder-length dreadlocks. Its muscular fra was encased in a black exoskeleton armor that bore a striking resemblance to the alien’s own exoskeleton.
At the sight of this figure, the Alien Queen let out a guttural roar, a wave of apprehension visibly forcing it to retreat a short distance instinctively.
The energy gathered under Su Liang’s legs dissipated as he approached, his voice escaping in a panicked exclamation.
"Iron Blood Warrior... How is this possible... How could one appear on the spacecraft..."
During the Old Era, Iron Blood Warriors had occasionally appeared on Earth, though interactions with humans were ambiguous. At tis, they attacked humans; at others, they hunted monsters alongside them.
The Iron Blood Warriors’ movents were enigmatic, their actions unpredictable, and their technological equipnt exceedingly advanced—a source of considerable unease for humanity at the ti.
Fortunately, the Iron Blood Warriors did not linger long on Earth, eventually fading from mory.
Su Liang had only co across sparse records about them by chance.
But why had an Iron Blood Warrior now appeared here?
"No, the students..."
Suddenly, Su Liang thought of the students aboard the spacecraft, shouting in alarm as golden energy flickered beneath his feet once again.
"Wait! Mr. Su, don’t attack, it’s !"
At that mont, Qin Shou connected his communicator to the Space Battle Armor, urgently stopping Su Liang from unleashing his powerful strike.
If a flying kick landed on him, he wouldn’t stand a chance!
Su Liang looked at the "Iron Blood Warrior" outside the spacecraft, hesitation flashing in his eyes.
"You... you’re Qin Shou?"
"That’s right, it’s ."
"Why do you look like this? Are you not human..."
"Ahem, Mr. Su, this is rely a battle armor modeled after the Iron Blood Warrior. I’m definitely human, not an alien," Qin Shou explained.
Su Liang let out a sigh of relief, retracting the energy beneath his feet.
He had feared that all the students aboard the spacecraft might have been killed.
Nearly scared him to death.
"Qin Shou, quickly return to the spacecraft. The Alien Queen is not soone you can handle."
"Mr. Su, listen to ..."
Qin Shou rapidly explained his plan, and upon hearing this, Su Liang’s eyes lit up.
This might just work.
Imdiately, Su Liang erupted with Thunder Power, flying toward Qin Shou and standing beside him.
In an instant, the spacecraft radiated an even more dazzling golden light, causing the Alien Queen’s sense of fear to spike yet again.
It wasn’t just the Alien Queen—Su Liang himself was deeply unsettled by the overwhelming radiance.
"Q-Qin Shou, what’s happening..."
"Don’t ask; just know it’s a secret."
Qin Shou said as he flung his right hand forward, summoning a spinning throwing blade into his grasp. The blade’s polished surface shimred with golden light, its reflected glow causing the Alien Queen to shudder violently.
The Iron Blood Warrior was a nightmare for the Alien Race.
If the figure before it were an ordinary albeit formidable Iron Blood Warrior, the Alien Queen would have attacked without hesitation.
But this figure instilled a fear so profound that the Alien Queen dared not move recklessly.
Its gaze shifted to the human standing beside the "Iron Blood Warrior," and the Alien Queen hesitated over whether to retreat.
Seeing this, Qin Shou’s heart leapt with joy. "Mr. Su, scare it a bit more."
"Got it."
Su Liang nodded, unleashing a surge of Thunder Star Power, simultaneously amplifying the spacecraft’s golden radiance.
In the next mont, the Alien Queen visibly trembled, turning tail and fleeing without a second glance.
"We did it!"
The two n exchanged glances before swiftly dashing into the spacecraft’s interior.
"Click..."
The hatch sealed shut as Su Liang rushed toward the propulsion system, wasting no ti repairing the spacecraft’s engines.
Inside the control room, Leng Wanbai cradled a fish tank, the Illusion Lake Dragon Carp within slowly retracting its golden glow.
Upon Qin Shou’s return, Little Jinjin let loose a barrage of complaints.
"Human, any later, and I’d be completely exhausted."
Qin Shou, delighted, reassured, "You did great. Once we’re back, I’ll make a big lake for you as a reward."
To intimidate a Nightmare-level Monster, Brother Monkey wasn’t enough—it had to rely on this small golden fish.
"Yay! Big brother, you’re the best."
Little Jinjin wagged its tail gleefully, swimming energetically in the tank.
After securing Little Jinjin, Qin Shou asked, "Have the Facehuggers been dealt with?"
Leng Wanbai gestured toward the monitor, revealing the spacecraft interior where, whether it was the Facehuggers or the Four Little Saints, all were paralyzed in terror from the golden radiance, still not recovered.
"Alright, let’s finish off the remaining Facehuggers while we have the chance."
...
Not long after, the propulsion system was repaired. Su Liang reentered the control room, disheveled, activating the spacecraft’s movent toward Earth.
Neatening his appearance, Su Liang looked at Qin Shou, who was directing the students to clean up Facehugger corpses, his expression uncertain.
"Q-Qin Shou..."
"Yes, what is it?"
As Su Liang approached, before he could speak, Qin Shou pulled out a suit of Iron Blood Armor.
"Mr. Su, this armor is crafted using Alien exoskeletons. Would you like to try it out?" Qin Shou offered with a grin.
Su Liang instinctively reached out but stopped himself mid-action.
"Ahem... It’s unbecoming for a teacher to accept gifts."
He straightened his posture, his air unmistakably righteous.
