Colonial Suit

Mount Mary Hirstein, Loreser Mountains. Mount Ketch, the highest peak.

Icy winds howled across the heavens and earth, sweeping up ice crystals and snow. This was the highest peak of Mount Mary Hirstein, and also the coldest place near Jimiga. Especially after nightfall, the temperature here could almost instantly freeze an adult male solid. Even wearing ordinary armor wouldn't help. So under normal circumstances, Ketch was a forbidden place for the living. Only the most ferocious beasts could survive.

But tonight, a figure that didn't belong here appeared on the summit of this mountain.

A woman whose entire body was shrouded in a hooded cloak, making it impossible to see her figure.

She hadn't climbed the peak under cover of night, but had been sitting on a large rock at the very top of Ketch for a long time, like a wooden sculpture or clay figure. The cold night wind, wrapped in ice and snow, howled past her, but seemed to have no effect on her at all. Large snowflakes fell, gradually piling up on her until she resembled a snowman.

Time passed, little by little, from dawn to midnight, and from midnight to dawn. Day after day, she never got up. In the cold wind, her body seemed to gradually merge with the large rock beneath her, becoming part of Ketch Peak. Even the occasional beast that passed by never paid her any attention.

Finally, on this bone-chilling night, when a ball of fire appeared in the distance above the Locke Basser Mountains, the snowdrift on the rock moved. A hand, as white and flawless as jade, stretched out. With a gentle shake, all the snowflakes covering her exploded, leaving not a trace.

Only then did she slowly stand up, opening her eyes for the first time in many days.

If anyone had been here, they would have noticed that she was looking in the direction of Jimiga.

But the distance to Jimiga was at least a hundred kilometers. Could she really see that far?

She was naturally Lilith.

Ever since parting with Sarek, she had been sitting here. Today was already a week. It was strange, even she herself didn't know why she had come here, or why she had been sitting for so many days. She just felt that there was something here that seemed to be attracting her. And sitting on the top of this cold mountain allowed her to feel at peace.

But today, she was awakened by the energy fluctuations emanating from the distance. She woke from her strange slumber.

Looking at the dark night sky in the distance, she strangely released her senses. After a while, she muttered to herself.

"I didn't expect to find space mercenaries here too?" Shaking her head slightly, Lilith chuckled. "These space pirates are getting more and more useless.

They've actually been pushed back to their doorstep by space mercenaries. Wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off if word got out?"

"But..." Thinking of this, Lilith paused, a thoughtful look on her face.

"This is also an opportunity. If Gorm dies at this time, no one will suspect me."

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. A cold smile appeared on Lilith's lips.

The next moment, her body suddenly transformed into a burst of flames, soaring into the sky. At this time, on top of a towering building on the other side of Jimiga, a man had just walked out of the iron door on the roof. His appearance was ordinary, and he didn't exude any aura, just like an ordinary person. But who would climb to the top of this building in the middle of the night, and carefully observe the Jimiga Tower across the way?

At this moment, the entire Jimiga Tower seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, with distorted rays of light emanating from it from time to time, looking extremely strange. But the man seemed to have known this would happen. He just patiently observed, a knowing glint flashing in his eyes from time to time.

He was naturally Blood瞳. His current behavior seemed boring, but he was observing Jimiga's weaknesses.

The principle of the holographic differential rate system was somewhat similar to the sensory coverage of space warriors. It used a force field to envelop the entire Jimiga, while simultaneously distinguishing every target within the force field. Once an abnormality was detected, it would directly mobilize high-frequency particle cannons to attack. So it was extremely sharp, but this wasn't its most powerful aspect. Its most powerful aspect was that once fully activated, it would form two different force fields within the defense range, one internal and one external. The two force fields balanced and repelled each other, forming a pseudo-effect similar to space displacement. Once an external force intruded, it would send the opponent to some strange place, or crush the enemy into powder like a millstone.

With Blood瞳's abilities, he naturally wasn't afraid of its crushing pressure, but he was troubled by its teleportation characteristics. What's more, he couldn't confirm whether Robbie had arrived yet. If he rashly entered and triggered the space pirates' alarm, it would be troublesome.

So he could only wait, patiently searching for the differential rate system's flaws.

This wasn't easy. The differential rate system could be listed as the safest defense measure in the Fifth World, so it naturally wouldn't be simple. The trajectory of the two force fields alone had undergone billions of calculations. Any abnormality would trigger the system's hostility.

But as the saying goes, there is absolutely no absolute defense in this world. Although the differential rate system was powerful, it wasn't invulnerable. At least Blood瞳 knew of no less than three weaknesses. And the easiest one for him to exploit right now was the force field switch.

Few people knew that the differential rate system's force field wasn't present at all times. Because any energy generator had peaks and troughs. And the differential rate system's force field was the same. In order to maintain the stability of the force field, one generator had to be shut down every so often, otherwise the attenuation could cause the frequencies of the two force fields to become out of sync, leading to unimaginable disasters. Of course, in order to ensure uninterrupted defense, another backup generator would be activated at the same time as one generator was shut down. This kept the entire protection cycle going non-stop.

And this process of shutting down and switching was a fault.

Of course, even if someone knew about this weakness, they probably wouldn't think of exploiting it.

Who would have thought that the time of this fault was only one ten-thousandth of a second? It was even less than one ten-thousandth of a second, a truly fleeting moment. Not to mention ordinary people, even meteor-level space warriors would find it difficult to grasp.

But in Blood瞳's eyes, this fault was so clear, so slow.

Standing on the roof of the building, he quietly observed the opposing harmonic force field. In his observation just now, the fault had already appeared five times. The intervals between them weren't uniform. But Blood瞳 had already grasped its rhythm. What he needed now was the sixth time. This time would be when he broke through.

The differential rate system was extremely sensitive. He only had one chance to break through. But strangely, Blood瞳 felt no tension at all at this moment. Instead, his entire body was incomparably relaxed, entering a wonderful microscopic state. In this state, everything around him gradually slowed down, became clearer, and appeared exceptionally distinct. This was a disguised use of bullet time. Blood瞳 had weakened its effectiveness by a thousand-fold and made it permanent, and it had indeed produced miraculous results.

What seemed complicated was actually just a flash. Just as another ball of fire flashed in the distance, the differential rate system in Blood瞳's eyes finally changed, a subtle pause appearing!

It was the perfect time. Blood瞳 instantly activated bullet time to its fullest, his entire person pouncing out like a leopard.

No one could describe his speed, just as no one could describe lightning streaking across the sky.

In just an instant, Blood瞳 was like a black line tearing through space, rushing from this building to the top of Jimiga Tower. A subtle distortion flashed and disappeared, and he had successfully broken through the differential rate system's force field fault. And immediately following, his body curled and unfurled in the air, rushing into the high sky like a large bird.

The position he was in at this moment was the external top floor of Jimiga's inverted pyramid. From below, it looked like only a tiny black dot, insignificant compared to the massive Jimiga. But this didn't affect Blood瞳's senses at all. He directly locked onto Gorm's room. Immediately following, he began to spin, the force of the wind howling. Blood瞳 actually transformed into a terrifying tornado. The next moment, he crashed into Jimiga with this incomparably terrifying force.

There was a muffled thud. Jimiga's alloy armor layer, a meter thick, was actually pierced through by Blood瞳's impact, creating a large hole. The edges of the hole were smooth as a mirror, as if they had been polished by a grinding wheel thousands of times.

But this was only the beginning. As Blood瞳 broke in, he was like an arrow shot from a bow. He pierced through all the rooms along the way. And in a room in front of him, Gorm was standing up in shock.

In fact, he had woken up when Blood瞳 had just pierced through Jimiga's outer wall. But he never would have imagined that Blood瞳 would come so quickly, so fiercely.

From the moment he realized what was happening to the moment he stood up, it was just a blink of an eye. Blood瞳 had already pierced through a full thirty-six layers of protection, including Jimiga's outer wall! He broke through each layer of protection in one go, and none of them stopped him even for a moment!!

What powerful force, what domineering power!

But what was most surprising about Blood瞳 wasn't the ferocity of his attack, but the focus of this attack.

He had pierced through thirty-six layers of protection in a row, but the entire process was spotless except for the large hole left in the wall. The force was concentrated and didn't dissipate, as if it were a tangible substance!!

What tyrannical control, what precise mastery?

Gorm didn't know, but he didn't have time to judge anymore. Because in that instant, Blood瞳 had already pierced through the last layer of protection, appearing before him like a demon god. Without saying a word, he launched a whip kick!!

A crescent moon flashed through the void. It was as cold as a blade. Blood瞳's whip kick had actually changed the material image, transforming into a long knife slashing through the air.

Mercenary kick technique, Gold Cleaver!!

"You!!" Gorm's pupils instantly constricted, and he stretched out his left hand almost without thinking, trying to block Blood瞳's sharp attack. As long as he blocked for a moment, he could summon his armor and kill this terrifying enemy on the spot!

But no one expected that what would bloom in the air the next moment would be a spray of blood.

And a severed hand tumbling into the sky!
