Colonial Suit

#177 - The Earth's Rebellious Son

There were no screams, no resistance...

Number 3 only felt a jolt throughout his body, then aged rapidly before an invisible force. All his energy, all his vitality, was drained in an instant. His muscles aged within seconds, his skin lost moisture. The organs in his body died off one by one, and cracks began to appear in his bones. Most terrifyingly, even the armor he wore quickly dimmed, turning the color of scrap metal. He wanted to scream, but his vocal cords had withered. He wanted to cry, but his tear glands had dried up.

In the next moment, his entire being turned into a dried corpse, falling straight to the ground.

A gust of wind swept past, and his whole body turned into sand, shrinking bit by bit... eventually disappearing without a trace.

In the sky, Little Posy descended, curiously watching Miya, who had become a Burial Angel. At this moment, she seemed to not recognize Miya at all, her eyes full of curiosity.

Miya silently reached out her hand to Little Posy.

It was the same hand that had just drained Number 3 dry, attracting gazes of fear from the entire arena. But Little Posy seemed to sense no danger, letting Miya's hand fall on her chest. As a gray mist appeared on Miya's hand, Little Posy's feathers suddenly became even brighter... as if dripping with fresh blood.

Miya... was actually transferring the life force she had just absorbed to Little Posy.

In fact, during the distant Great Chaos Era, Burial Angels provided vital energy to Blood Angels in this way... the relationship between them could not be described as merely close. Although Little Posy and Miya had just awakened, the instinct in their bloodlines was still at work.

In the gray mist, specks of silver light merged into Little Posy's body. A naive smile appeared on Little Posy's face.

At this moment, their minds were still blank slates, but instinct had already made them regard each other as their closest kin. In full view of everyone, Little Posy plucked a feather from her wings and handed it to Miya.

Miya solemnly placed the feather on her own wing, then flapped it a few times. The red feather quickly blended into the gray wing, and its original color could no longer be seen.

Only then did Miya stand on tiptoe and lightly kiss Little Posy on the lips.

In the next moment, both of their bodies simultaneously collapsed softly to the ground. The wings behind them gradually blurred, eventually disappearing completely.

On the cold, permafrost ground, Posy and Miya returned to their original forms. The two were holding each other tightly, like a pair of twin infants...

And at this moment, two gazes in the distance withdrew from them.

"It's over..."

"Did the bloodline of the Twin Angels awaken?"

On the high platform, Number 1 stood with his arms folded, watching the twin sisters in the distance with great interest, a slight smile on the corner of his lips. He looked completely unconcerned, as if the twin sisters had not just killed his teammates. His tall figure was like a mountain peak, standing firm in the wind.

"Your teammates were not bad," he said to Blood瞳 calmly. "These two little ones are the Cursed Twins, right? I didn't expect them to awaken the bloodline of the Twin Angels. Blood Angels and Burial Angels, these high-level life forms from the Great Chaos Era, I think I know why they were cursed."

"In fact, I didn't expect it either," Blood瞳 replied blandly.

Just now, Blood瞳 had clearly witnessed the awakening process of the twin sisters. This had greatly surprised him. He never imagined that these two little ones who had been following him would have such a terrifying bloodline, with such terrifying power hidden within their blood.

However, it was clear that Posy and Miya's weak bodies could not withstand such a powerful force. Their awakening only lasted for a moment before they reverted to their original forms. Blood瞳 knew that although the twin sisters looked only unconscious at the moment, they must have suffered severe exhaustion and would not be able to recover in a short time.

This was the price of bearing power beyond their limits.

However, what Blood瞳 didn't know was that the root cause of the twin sisters' ability to awaken their bloodline power was him. It was the two colony-installed sub-seeds.

It should be known that colony-installed seeds were one of Krodir's greatest inventions. Although it was only a small cluster of enhanced cells, it contained the mysteries of deep-level genes. The life form being implanted would have its potential stimulated in a very short time, and open the door to deep-level genes, excavating hidden, even impossible-to-awaken abilities. In this process, the seed would also provide nutrients to the implanted person to ensure the induction process.

The twin sisters did possess the bloodline of the Twin Angels, but under normal circumstances, it would never be possible to awaken it. The Twin Angels needed too much vital energy, and only after the twin sisters evolved to high-level life forms would it be possible to meet the conditions.

But no one would have thought that Blood瞳 had implanted sub-seeds in them.

As the crystallization of Krodir's most cutting-edge technology, the sub-seeds easily integrated into the twin sisters' gene locks and perfectly fulfilled their mission. It unlocked the shackles of the Twin Angels' bloodline, releasing the two ancient demons ahead of time.

This was not evolution, but a temporary mutation. But in this way, the twin sisters were able to come into contact with the power of the Twin Angels ahead of time, which would be of great benefit to their future evolution.

Of course, before their cell strength and vital energy reached the standard, they would not be able to control this power, not even use it actively.

In the arena, the wind was still raging... blowing Blood瞳's short hair wildly. Gusts of ice shards were swept into the air by the wind, forming a cold mist like frost. But Blood瞳 remained motionless, his eyes locked on Number 1.

The series of battles just now had been too tragic. In an extremely short period of time, Blood瞳's companions had fallen one by one. Although it had also caused the Odd Numbers team to suffer heavy losses, only Blood瞳 was left at the moment. During this process, Blood瞳 had also thought about providing support, but he had been unable to do so under the pressure of Number 1.

Number 1's sense of oppression was too strong, giving Blood瞳 the feeling of a towering mountain, tall and majestic, making him feel involuntarily suppressed.

This was not a matter of combat ability, but a kind of oppression from the level of life. Invisible, yet truly existent.

This guy, is he really just a trainee level?

Quietly watching the burly figure above, Blood瞳's heart was full of doubt.

Just then, Number 1 finally moved.

He released his folded arms, and under everyone's gaze, walked down the high platform step by step.

His steps were very steady, each step falling as if stepping on someone's heart, making people's hearts beat with it. In just a few dozen meters, he condensed a terrible momentum, like a mountain pressing on everyone's heart.

"Gudong." A Rotoscian couldn't stand this sudden, heavy sense of oppression and involuntarily fainted.

With his fall, more Rotoscians fell to the ground, their faces as pale as paper.

What a terrifying momentum...

No, it's a battle stance!!

Blood瞳's heart trembled, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He recognized it. What Number 1 was condensing at the moment was actually a battle stance. Combining action with the surrounding environment, making every move have the majesty of nature. It was as if he was this sky, this earth. Every move he made carried terrifying power.

This Number 1, he is a melee warrior?? And he is... a meteor level!!

Hensel's teachings flashed through Blood瞳's mind in an instant. Battle stance... is a combat skill that only melee mercenaries possess. And only meteor level and above begin to master it.

Damn it... How many years old is Robbie's intelligence?

For a time, Blood瞳 only felt a shock in his heart. But a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He quietly watched Number 1 approaching, and also began to emit a faint aura. Although this aura was not as majestic and heavy as Number 1, it was full of wildness, repelling Number 1's pressure.

"I didn't deliberately hide it," Number 1 said as he walked, taking off his hooded cloak. "Actually, I can't be considered a trainee level anymore."

"A year ago, I broke through the barrier of the trainee level. I comprehended the battle stance. Only one step away from the meteor level."

The hooded cloak fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of ice shards. Number 1 finally stood in front of Blood瞳.

He was an extremely burly man, wearing a set of earth-yellow heavy armor, the entire shape exaggeratedly thick. On his armor, the thinnest armor layer was also a complete alloy block. The legs were as thick as stone pillars. His armor did not have injection ports, and was a typical land battle special type. The armor's shoulders and gauntlets were covered with sharp alloy thorns. It looked like an ancient siege mech.

The armor did not raise the head armor. So Blood瞳 saw his face.

It was a face full of橫肉, a terrifying scar diagonally across his face, but it highlighted a fierce taste.

"I know this news may make you despair," Number 1 moved his wrist, a bloodthirsty red light flashing in his eyes. "But I don't intend to let you go."

"You are my enemy. And the enemy... must be destroyed!"

"Because, cruelty... is power!!"

Saying that, Number 1 suddenly raised an arm and slammed it to the ground...

With a bang, the ground within a hundred meters of him exploded, and an invisible aura was forcibly grabbed from the ground by him. Then, a土黃色 light appeared on his hands.

"I am the only one in Odd Numbers who has a name, my name is Gaia. Some people also call me... the rebellious son of the earth."

In the shout, Number 1 pounced on Blood瞳 like a tiger. Throwing a punch...

Immediately, the wind in the sky rose sharply, and the air in the entire arena seemed to be driven by his punch, pressing down on Blood瞳. The momentum was so strong that it was as if the entire world had become Blood瞳's enemy in an instant.

And even more terrifying was... with Number 1's punch, Blood瞳 suddenly felt that the air around him had solidified, actually imprisoning him in place.

"Landslide!!"

With a roar, Number 1's fist hit Blood瞳 hard...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations, your support is my biggest motivation.)
