Michael spent the next few minutes teleporting around the outer sections of the spaceship, killing a bunch of Dark Heavens mbers and bringing the crew to their families.
Most crew mbers were either at the 3rd Tier or already Higher Lifeforms. They might not be very powerful since none of them focused on combat, but they were strong enough to stall everyone for a mont. Michael shared the contact information of his crystal watch with them to call him if sothing happened. He would use Cosmic Stride and be there at once.
Fortunately, that wasn't required until the last crew and Dark Heavens mbers were in the spaceships' commando center.
He teleported to the command center, and his Cursed Seals and Serpent Seals activated to the fullest. The Heavenly Beast Physique and Foundation Break techniques were also activated, elevating his physical prowess to another level.
Michael appeared next to the strongest living source of energy, his hands transford into massive claws. A thick layer of True Extraction and Qi coated his claws, augnting them enough to pierce the Tier-5 Dark Heavens mber. Since there was only one Tier-5 powerhouse in the spaceship, Michael figured it was the small group's leader. That ca to his advantage since he'd rather avoid fighting a Tier-6 powerhouse in space with more than a hundred innocent civilians nearby.
Michael wouldn't be able to hold back against a Tier-6 powerhouse. The spaceship would break, and the innocent would die. That wasn't what he wanted.
Fortunately, the Tier-5 Dark Heavens mber was in a heated discussion with one of the crew mbers. All Michael could see was the crew mber's missing arm and that he protected so buttons with his body – and, therefore, his life as well. Michael acted quickly, using the opening to drill his right claw deep into the Tier-5 powerhouse's side while his left shot upward, headed for the Dark Heavens mber's face.
Before his left claw could crush into his face and kill the Dark Heavens mber on the spot, Michael noticed a heavy weight crashing down on his left arm.
'Gravity? No. He is holding my arm. Well, he's trying to,' The corner of Michael's lips curled upward. Spirit Eyes unraveled the Dark Heavens mber's secret. His Soultrait allowed him to fuse his ntal power and origin energy to create 'invisible' hands. A pair of such hands grasped Michael's left claw to restrain him. To the Dark Heavens mber's misfortune, Michael's claws were coated in a layer of True Extraction. To grab his claw, the invisible hands had to touch True Extraction, which triggered imdiately, draining the power within the invisible hands rapidly.
The Dark Heavens mber cursed. He coughed up blood and his eyes widened in terror when he looked down his body, only to realize that Michael's right claw managed to pierce through his Toga Artifact.
Michael spread True Extraction further in both his claw hands. A massive amount of True Extraction flooded the powerhouse through Michael's right claw while the invisible hands destabilized and dispersed. Michael lost the necessary montum in his left arm to kill the Dark Heavens mber instantaneously, but he could still release the Qi and True Extraction coating his left claw. A goldish-silver beam shot out of his left claw.
The Tier-5 powerhouse tilted his head until it hurt, which was necessary to avoid the Extraction Qi beam. The beam barely missed puncturing his neck.
Unfortunately, Michael never focused on the beam. He never thought the beam would be enough to kill the Tier-5 powerhouse. Instead, he focused on his right claw, twisted it in the man's side, grasped sothing tightly, and tore it out when he ripped his claw out of the target.
The Tier-5 powerhouse coughed up more blood, and a horrifying scream escaped his lips.
Michael wasn't sure what he tore out of the man, but it was important. He didn't have the luxury to look at the glibbery mass of the thing he'd ripped out of the Tier-5 powerhouse's. Michael sensed sothing behind him and erupted a wind shield alongside an earthen wall. The wind shield cracked instantaneously, but the earthen wall resisted a little longer. Nonetheless, the incoming wave of assaults managed to pierce the earthen wall.
Michael could have used Cosmic Stride to evade the attacks, but upon spinning around, he concluded that so of the incoming projectiles were explosive. If he evaded them, they might damage the commando center. Michael didn't know enough about the commando center to know what would happen if certain chanisms in the spaceship were destroyed. He'd much rather stop the attacks with his body than rely on hope to protect the crew mates and their families.
The attacks impacted heavily. So managed to pierce through his skin, shredding a portion of his arms and chest into pieces. The destructive power of the Dark Heavens mber's attacks was impressive, but River of Vigor was much more impressive. Michael had accumulated so healing serum. It was enough to tend to such minor injuries hundreds of tis.
"The Nest Leader inflicted more damage," Michael murmured, "But I guess that makes sense. She is crazy and too powerful for her own good."
Once he caught all projectiles with his body, Michael used Cosmic Stride to materialize next to the furthest Dark Heavens mber. He punctured his neck as one of the World Serpent's fangs shot out of his knuckles. Michael was only slightly surprised since he didn't try to manifest the serpent fangs, but he decided to make use of it and manifest Aethyr around his claws and the serpent fang as well. His claws extended, and the fang looked even sharper than before.
Michael flung a Qi Sword and accelerated through a burst of wind-attributed energy at the Dark Heavens mbers standing around the one he'd punctured. They collapsed to the ground, their chests impaled by silver-glowing swords.
Michael's eyes glowed vibrantly, and he used several charges of Spiritual Domination on the residual Dark Heavens mbers, which were only six unhard Tier-3 and Tier-4 Awakened, and killed them once their brains felt like soone mashed it from being utterly dominated and crushed.
The Tier-5 powerhouse was the last remaining mber of his team. His lifeforce was drained as he continued bleeding from the massive gap in his side. He looked pitifully as he winced in a puddle of his blood.
However, the last Dark Heavens mber was not yet done. He might get killed soon, but their plan didn't fail just yet.
His invisible hand erged next to him. It shot toward the crew mber and flung him through the air with a surge of power born through desperation. A few buttons, which didn't say anything to Michael, appeared now that the crew mber didn't cover them anymore. The invisible hand was about to press one of them when Michael appeared before the console of buttons and levers. He unleashed True Extraction around his claws and amplified its efficiency with several Enhancent layers.
His claw pierced through the invisible hand before it could press anything, dissolving the invisible hand instantly.
A mont later, Michael teleported back to the dying Tier-5 powerhouse. His claw shot down, piercing his skull with Mind Reader unleashed to the fullest.
"Show !" He growled, unaware that the influence of the Wolf Curse reached and affected him.
