Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 390 Team Battle Begins

Starship Troopers World.

Upon learning of their opponents in this team fight, the clone Zheng Zha frowned.

"East Sea Team...isn't it the Celestial Team?"

After leading his team of demons through Transformers, he learned from the Supreme God that the next world for the demons would be Starship Troopers, where they would once again face off in a war between humans and insects.

Furthermore, the other reincarnation team arrived even later.

After the first team battle, the clone Zheng Zha realized that in the Samsara Squad team battles, the weaker team would enter first and the stronger team would enter later.

He had assumed that the stronger team in this team battle would be the Celestials.

In theory, only a Celestial team where all members have at least unlocked their second-tier gene locks could be stronger than a Demon team that has not yet reached its peak.

To his surprise, the target of this team battle was... the East China Sea team.

"Kill all the Zerg on Krendaf. After the Earth Federation soldiers land on Krendaf, the East Sea Team enters the world."

Upon hearing what the clone Jung-ja said, the clone Park Chang-ho quickly looked at his watch.

He skipped over the prices the main god had set for each type of insect and read out the key point on his watch: the other reincarnation team in this team battle was indeed the East Sea team.

The chubby boy wore a bitter expression.

This reincarnator from the East China Sea team knew very well that the reincarnation team was definitely a very troublesome team.

"Park Chang-ho, you seem to be from the Donghae team. I remember that in that team, the only people who copied the Devil team were you and that coward Higashiyama Heiichiro, right?"

The clone Zheng Zha asked curiously:
"That team doesn't have many high-potential players, so how could they be rated higher than us?"

When he copied into the Demon Team, there were two members of the East Blue Team in the Demon Team.

Park Chang-ho, a South Korean, is a mecha pilot who can barely protect himself from the breeders.

A Japanese man named Higashiyama Heiichiro, who possessed considerable inner strength, obediently submitted to the demon team's breeders. In order to avoid being beaten less, he was exceptionally docile in front of the white breeders.

Park Chang-ho initially offered him some help within his power... but due to the difference in their perspectives, that help did not save Lori—in the little fat boy's understanding before the copy, the main god had no human rights when creating humans. In the Claymore world he experienced before the copy, the beautiful women of the East Sea team were all used as cannon fodder when they created humans.

Those acts of help merely spared Lori from the torment of those breeders.

Jung-chul did not blame Park Chang-ho.

After all, he could accept that Zhao Zhuikong, who was even stronger, was completely passive. How could he think that the help he received from someone who had helped him was inadequate?

There are always some idiots who, when watching tokusatsu shows, blame Ultraman for destroying many buildings while protecting humanity, making a huge fuss about what he's protecting. But if Ultraman really didn't exist... those people wouldn't even have the right to make a fuss.

"I copied into the Demon Team too early... I didn't know much about the East Blue Team."

Park Chang-ho shook his head: "However, when I inquired about the physical condition of Higashiyama Heiichiro, I learned that the East Sea Team's technology is very advanced. With the help of that technology, the East Sea Team's rookies can obtain extremely strong power."

"At that time, Xu Feng, the captain of the East China Sea team, had already used high-yield nuclear bombs as a common means of attack, demonstrating extremely strong firepower in the world of 'The Ring'."

"Xu Feng?"

Cheng Xiao raised an eyebrow.

This member of the Central Continent team, who had just joined the Demon Team, originally thought that the opponents were a bunch of dwarfs. He would not show any mercy when beating dwarfs, but he did not expect to hear a name that sounded a bit like a Chinese person.

Park Chang-ho said, "The captain of the Donghae team is indeed Chinese, and his strength is exceptionally high within the Donghae team."

“This intelligence is outdated!” the clone Chu Xuan said. “The East Sea team is much stronger than you think, at least two levels stronger than our Demon team.”

"Is it really that bad?" The clone Zheng Zha didn't believe this reasoning.

After killing the real body, his strength increased significantly.

Aside from Chu Xuan, whose strength is unknown, he is equally powerful in the Demon Team, a level that is unprecedented.

Zhao Zhuikong acted arrogantly all day long, but his clone Zheng Zha knew very well that Zhao's strength was just so-so, and he could only manage to put up a few moves against him at most.

He can barely hold a top-five position in the Demon Team right now, but sooner or later, a group of people will surpass him.

The clone Chu Xuan glanced at his watch and analyzed, "The conditions the Main God has given us are too good. We entered very early. If we make proper arrangements, we can completely control the arrival time of the East Sea team. In fact, we can even delay the arrival indefinitely!"

The clone Zheng Zha observed the surrounding environment.

The demons arrived in a corner of a large hall, where some green high school graduates were coming and going. Some signs indicated that this was Buenos Aires, the hometown of Johnny Rico, the protagonist of Starship Troopers.

"Is this a recruitment point, and the story is just beginning?"

The clone Zheng Zha recalled the plot of the movie in his mind.

In the story, the protagonist, Johnny Riggo, joins the army after graduating because of his girlfriend.

But because he suffered too much during military training, and his girlfriend dumped him for her future, Johnny suffered a setback in his love life and decided to leave the army.

Shortly after he submitted his discharge application, his hometown of Buenos Aires was destroyed by an asteroid, and his parents died in the attack. So, the protagonist withdrew his application and joined the war against the Zerg.

"The protagonist has been training in the military for nearly half a year, plus the preparations that humanity has made for the war. In other words, even if we do nothing, the East Blue Team will arrive in this world in at least half a year... In such a long time, a lot can indeed be accomplished!"

After receiving Chu Xuan's help, Zheng Zha rarely continued to analyze, but he still had several ways in mind to delay the Donghai team's entry time.

For example, destroying the asteroid that was about to land on Earth would remove the pretext for war, naturally delaying humanity's landing on Krendav. Krendav is the Zerg homeworld on the other side of the Milky Way.

In the Starship Troopers storyline, Earth is attacked by an asteroid driven by the Zerg. In retaliation, humanity sends a large army to land on the planet Klendav, and the protagonist Johnny Rico is one of them. However, they ultimately suffer a crushing defeat, with more than 300,000 people dying in the war.

Park Chang-ho said, "Judging from the mission assigned by the main god, if we destroy that planet Klendav in space, we may be able to complete the mission and return to the main god's space without having to wait for the Donghae team to enter this world!"

"I remember in Starship Troopers 3, the human side had a weapon that could destroy an entire planet."

The Korean chubby guy didn't want to fight the East Sea team.

Unlike his clone Zheng Zha, he didn't hate his original self. This member of the East Sea Team's Demon Team was also very grateful to his former captain.

Before copying it, he didn't quite understand how cost-effective that cheap transforming mech really was. Only after leaving the East Sea Team did he realize that the captain had truly sold all kinds of weapons and equipment at bargain prices.

"It's not that easy." The clone Chu Xuan shook his head.

"Since the main god has made this arrangement, it proves that the Zerg on Planet Klendav are not so easy to eliminate."

"This condition is actually telling us a piece of information... The Zerg in this world are very strong, even stronger than they were in the original story! If I'm not mistaken, the Zerg we've seen in various novels, games, and movies could very well appear in this world."

The clone Chu Xuan continued, "Once the Zerg on Planet Krendaf can survive in space and move through space with the planetary fragments, and the Supreme God has decreed that we must destroy the Zerg on those planetary fragments, then we will be in great trouble! Searching for those planetary fragments in the boundless space is an almost impossible task!"

"Is it necessary to land on the Zerg homeworld to complete the mission?"

The clone Zheng Zha looked up at the sky: "Since that's the case, let's prepare for battle. I want to test the mettle of the East Sea team and see what makes them stronger than us..."

The demon team captain then looked toward the side of the God's protective shield.

There were two newcomers there, newcomers who had just joined the Demon Team. Unlike other reincarnation teams, most of the newcomers in the Demon Team had undergone enhancement. People like Cheng Xiao and Zero Point would immediately become one of the main combat forces after joining... Both of these newcomers were white.

"Gentlemen, please introduce yourselves..."

After telling the two the current situation, the clone Zheng Zha introduced them to the current members of the Demon Team.

The emaciated young man spoke first: "My name is Agassola. I was previously on the Southern State team in Atlantis, and my enhanced attribute is Necromancer..."

"A necromancer... if you can summon high-level Zerg as a weapon, you could be quite powerful in this battle." Chu Xuan pondered. "If I remember correctly, necromancers can grow extremely fast in areas with a lot of death... the corpses of Zerg on an entire planet might make you strong enough to be of any use."

The necromancer, exuding a sinister aura, shrank back.

This veteran of the Demon Team... although he looked unremarkable, he sensed an even more terrifying and sinister aura emanating from him.

“You can all just call me Aaron. I’m from the East America team…” another burly young man said.

He frowned upon learning of the enhancements to his new teammate, as he didn't see the Necromancer as a worthy enhancement.

"The attribute I've enhanced is Ghost Rider."

Although Ghost Rider's image may not look good, it is actually an enhancement of the righteous side, representing God's vengeful will, specifically targeting evil and corrupted souls.

"East America team..."

Before anyone else could speak, Zhao Zhuikong looked with interest at the newcomer who had just joined the Demon Team. This person actually came from that Samsara Squad.

He did not sense any fear from the newcomer... in other words, he was not up to standard.

These wild fruits were left to grow freely in the fields.

But Zhao Zhuikong knew very well that the true body wouldn't do that under normal circumstances, unless...

"Is my true self dead?"

Zhao Zhuikong's lips curled into a smile: "I'm really curious, which reincarnation team killed my true body! That ripe fruit must be incredibly sweet..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the team that wiped out the former East America team was the East China Sea team," said the clone Chu Xuan.

"Before entering the Main God Space, Ming Yanwei and Cheng Xiao came across a news report that someone used your image to kill some Japanese nobles, causing a huge commotion in the real world. If it wasn't done by your original self, it must have been done by someone who had contact with your original self."

Most of the Demon Team members did not pay attention to these fragmented pieces of information, including Ming Yanwei and Cheng Xiao, who had already forgotten about it. However, the clone Chu Xuan used this information to make his teammates realize a part of the Donghai Team's true nature again.

"Judging from the location where the 'fake Zhao Zhuikong' appeared, the person who killed Zhao Zhuikong of the East America team was from the East China team."

The clone Chu Xuan continued, "In summary, the East Sea team already possessed the strength to easily kill Zhao Zhuikong a long time ago... They may even have captured Zhao Zhuikong's true body, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to develop such a similar replica; furthermore, that Reincarnation Squad will not hold back, and once they participate in a team battle, they will wipe out another Reincarnation Squad."

"Next, we will face this challenge with the utmost caution!"

Chu Xuan instructed, "First, we must leave one or two members as seeds of hope. The God can use the Nanming Li Huo Sword to revive Zheng Zha of the Central Continent Team. There will naturally be more resurrection items in the Samsara World. So, even if only one person returns to the God's Space alive, we will all have a chance to be resurrected."

"The Starship Troopers universe is a very large world. The battle between humans and the Zerg only involves a few planets, but this war spans most of the Milky Way. If we were to use space bridge technology to teleport to the edge of the Milky Way and drift aimlessly in the vast space, even if the East Sea Team is very strong, it would be difficult to find the one or two people who are the spark."

Upon hearing this decision, the twelve members of the Demon Team looked at each other, each with a different expression.

The clone Zheng Zha thought this decision was too cowardly.

The clone Park Chang-ho wanted to become the 'Spark', but felt it was inappropriate to speak up. After all, he was one of the stronger members of the Demon Team. Moreover, after obtaining the AllSpark in the previous Transformers movie, the clone Chu Xuan only studied it for a short time before using it as an upgrade material for the Divine Will Gundam and integrating it into his vehicle. Under such circumstances, it would be irresponsible for him to avoid the battle.

Tom, the mental controller, said, "We have two mental controllers in our team. Amya is very weak. Her mental scanning and control abilities are far inferior to mine. Why don't we let her become the spark?"

Chu Xuan nodded.

This was his chosen target.
