Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 394 First Encounter on Mars
"Is this kind of gravity... Mars?"

After Xiangzi woke up, he immediately noticed the difference in his physical sensations. The gravity in the God Space was the same as on Earth, but the gravity here was much smaller than on Earth.

The East Sea team landed on the rooftop of a tall tower. It was the dead of night, and through the protective shield of the main god, they could see a starry sky that was similar to, yet somewhat different from, that on Earth.

She glanced at her watch: "Eliminate all Aragini insectoids in the galaxy. Upon completion of the mission, each person will receive a D-rank side quest; the Demon Squad entered a year and a half ago..."

"Just as we guessed, the other side in this team battle is indeed the Demon Team. However, the Demon Team entered much earlier than us!"

The last time they faced the Celestials team, the Celestials team had only entered the tournament a few months earlier than the East Sea team.

Xiangzi sighed, "In just over a year, if the Demon Team's sages had been qualified, the entire human civilization would probably have fallen into the hands of that team."

In the story, humanity's technological weapons are limited in power, but any civilization capable of faster-than-light travel has a solid foundation in science. Based on that level of fundamental science, creating more powerful technological weapons would be very easy.

"Yes, the target of this team fight is indeed very tricky."

Xu Feng looked up at the starry sky.

With his current superhuman observational abilities, he can see a great deal of information even inside the protective shield of the main god.

"Each planet in the solar system is surrounded by a defensive ring. These rings can target external objects and easily block the insectoid asteroids. They can also target the interior of the planets. If I'm not mistaken, this protective ring is currently scouting all the planets inside the solar system. Once it detects the location of our East China Sea team, there's a high probability that a massive and powerful attack will be launched."

Neither novels nor movies have ever depicted such a magnificent building in the Earth Federation.

Clearly, this is the masterpiece of the Demons over the past year.

"Is it so powerful?"

Xiangzi was somewhat surprised: "From this perspective, the sage of the Demon Team not only controlled the Earth Federation, but also greatly improved the Federation's industrial capabilities!"

In her opinion, the Demons' productivity was quite good.

From a technological standpoint, the Demon Team is far superior to the Celestial Team. The Celestial Team members are essentially a bunch of 'primitive people,' each of them having enhanced their bloodline to an extremely high degree, but that's all the enhancement they have.

"This mission seems to be quite troublesome..."

After Mei woke up, she frowned and said, "There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way. The survival requirements of the Zerg are far lower than those of humans. In principle, any solid planet could potentially have the Arachzin, and there may even be some Zerg wandering in deep space, wiping out all the Arachzin in the Milky Way... Even if our overall strength far exceeds that of the Zerg, it will still take a great deal of time and effort to achieve this."

If the Zerg are confined to the interior of a planet, even billions of Zerg would be no match for them.

But I'm afraid some insects are wandering aimlessly in outer space.

If the God hadn't limited the scope of eliminating the bugs to the Milky Way, the priestess would have suspected that the God was maliciously targeting Team Tokai, perhaps by using this extremely difficult mission to temporarily confine Team Tokai to the Starship Troopers universe.

It was like being exiled.

At this moment, Zhao Yingkong also woke up. She agreed with the witch's worries: "In the comics that are the prequel to the movie, the first contact between humans and the Zerg was near Mars. The Zerg's home planet is on the other side of the Milky Way, tens of thousands of light-years away, but the meteorites they dropped came to the solar system. There must be a lot of Zerg in outer space!"

not only that.

The meteorite that landed on Mars carried some insectoids, which are now multiplying deep underground. If the Demon Team doesn't change the plot to eliminate these insects, they will cause great trouble for the Martians decades from now.

In Zhao Yingkong's view, the reason why the main god sent the East China Sea team to Mars was probably to have the East China Sea team eliminate the Araqi insectoids on Mars.

To eliminate all Araqi insectoids within the Milky Way, begin by purifying the solar system.

"Killing the Demon Team would present the same problem..."

Xiangzi stroked the Chinese rural dog at his feet and added:
"It's fine for the Demon Team to hunt insects on those planets in the story, but if they choose to hide in some corner of the universe, it will be very difficult for us to track them. The maximum detection range of my mental scanning is not as good as the Heavenly Eye. Big Yellow's extraordinary energy tracking ability can track a wider range, but it is far inferior to the size of the Milky Way."

The rewards that the East Sea Team can obtain in ordinary reincarnation worlds are getting less and less. Monsters like Gatanothor, which can destroy civilizations, are only worth one A-rank side quest. There will be even fewer monsters in Starship Troopers that can provide side quests.

Xiangzi was also hoping to get reward points through team battles. If he couldn't kill the members of the Demon Team, his gains in this cycle world would be greatly reduced.

"This task is actually not too difficult."

Xu Feng sat on the edge of the rooftop and said, "The key to our mission lies in Planet Kranduff. In the story, it is the home planet of the Zerg. All the Zerg come from that planet. By tracing the history of that planet and following the line of reproduction and development of the Arach Zerg, we can eliminate all the Zerg originating from that planet one by one."

This is a very complicated matter.

In the storyline, the history of the Arachnids is even longer than that of humans, tracing the traces of this civilization's colonization of the galaxy from their home planet, involving an enormous amount of data.

But this is much simpler than searching aimlessly in space, provided that you have the ability to trace history.

“This requires a lot of data! However, it is very simple to track down the Demon Team’s reincarnators using this method.” Xiangzi said with a smile: “After all, the Demon Team only has a maximum of twenty reincarnators. Even if we add the combat members obtained through human creation or other means, the total number will not exceed one hundred.”

"If the Demon Squad can't fight the Captain from the perspective of spacetime, as long as we capture one member of the Demon Squad, we can trace back to where the Demon Squad entered this world, and then trace back from the point of descent to find the location of all the members of the Demon Squad!"

“Actually, I don’t think the Demon Team will back down. If all the members of the Demon Team are truly the most talented among all the Reincarnation Teams, they should take the initiative to fight us!” Zhao Yingkong said coldly.

Geniuses are always arrogant.

“That’s right. The main task is still the mission of the main god. The demon team is just to increase our gains in this cycle of reincarnation. But if we can’t complete the mission and return to the main god’s space, all the gains are just numbers.” The priestess said seriously.

Her intuition told her that the Demons team was not important and that defeating them would be very easy.

The real problem arose after defeating the Demons.

Xu Feng said, "Mei is right. From now on, I will devote most of my energy to searching for and eliminating the Arachnids. As for the Demon Team, let Tifa and Bing'er take everyone's creations to eliminate them."

The status of the East Sea team's human-created beings is far inferior to that of some reincarnation teams. In order to avoid the reincarnators losing points due to death in team battles, these human-created beings of the main gods, who are of decent strength, will become the first batch of main forces to fight against other reincarnators in the team battle world.

"The story is about to begin... The Demon Team has prepared a welcome gift for us, so get ready to fight!"

Xu Feng stood up and said, "This time there are no new recruits, so we will have fewer gains. Fortunately, we also don't need to protect ordinary people in team battles."

“This brightness…” Xiangzi looked up at the sky, blinking involuntarily. “Did the Demon Team predict our location in advance?”

When one's strength is weak, the area inside the God's protective shield is the safest haven.

Reincarnators can have a safe place to settle when they enter the reincarnation world, and can prepare for battle in an orderly manner.

However, once the strength becomes sufficient, this sturdy protective shield becomes a constraint.

If the first reincarnation team has strong enough spacetime detection capabilities, they can detect the location of the next team before the shield of the other reincarnation team expires by detecting fluctuations in the spatial plane, and then launch a precise attack.

The Demons did not possess that spacetime detection capability.

Whether it's the cultivation techniques in "The Legend of Shushan" or the technological information in "Transformers," most of the abilities are limited to the interior of the world. The knowledge related to ascension in Shushan is related to the space outside the world, but mastering that information requires an extremely high level of cultivation, and the information that can be detected is very limited. None of them can accurately lock onto the space bubble when a reincarnator first enters the reincarnation world.

But the planetary defense system in Mars orbit has begun to store energy.

Just one second before the God's protective shield was activated, countless laser beams fell, focusing on the location where the East Sea team had landed.

"Is it blocked from the front?"

In the orbit of Krendav's satellite, the clone Chu Xuan stared intently at the round mirror before him.

This magical artifact is the Haotian Mirror, which originally belonged to Bai Mei in the novel "The Legend of Shushan".

In "The Legend of Shushan", apart from the Nanming Lihuo Sword which can resurrect people, most of the other magical treasures fall into the hands of the demon team, and this mirror is one of them.

After obtaining the mirror, the clone Chu Xuan developed several abilities.

For example, the method of divination using celestial secrets.

The Shushan world differs from other cultivation worlds in that most of the powerful beings possess extremely strong divination abilities. Their destinies are as transparent as if they were predetermined, appearing to be as if many things were already destined from the perspective of ordinary people.

After obtaining the Haotian Mirror, the divination ability of the clone Chu Xuan was no less than that of the top experts in Shu Mountain.

At this time, he was on the Zerg homeworld, tens of thousands of light-years away from Mars, but through the divination skills granted to him by the Haotian Mirror, he also observed what was happening on Mars.

Countless beams of light heated that area to a temperature sufficient for nuclear fusion the instant the God's protective shield dissipated.

However, one sphere after another appeared in the original position of the main god's protective shield, and they stacked together to form a thick subspace defensive shield.

By the time the laser shattered the subspace defense shield, all members of the East Sea team had vanished.

These outsiders have vanished from the entire Mars, no, from the entire solar system.

"It's a pity that the East Sea team didn't choose to break the protective shield in advance in the face of such a threat. The strongest member of this Samsara team is very confident!"

The clone Chu Xuan's expression grew even colder.

He predicted that the strongest member of the East Sea team could break through the main god's protective shield. Once the main god's protective shield was broken in advance, the reincarnators would not be able to fully integrate into the reincarnation world and would suffer rejection from the world.

Under normal circumstances, that kind of rejection only weakens the reincarnator for a period of time; the powerful ones who can break through the main god's protective shield will not be affected by that negative impact.

However, in the eyes of Chu Xuan, who possessed the Haotian Mirror, those reincarnators who had not fully integrated into the world of reincarnation were as conspicuous as lights in the dark during the divination of heavenly secrets. The positions of all the members of the East Sea team would be completely transparent to him.

Unfortunately, the East China Sea team waited until the protective shield expired.

"The first wave of planning went wrong. Next, the East Sea team is hiding in the shadows. When they reappear, the Demon team will suffer casualties... Oh well, we were already prepared for only two people to survive in the whole team. There are enough monsters in this world, and we don't need to worry about negative points. So what if we suffer casualties!"

Before the East Sea team arrived, the Demon team had already cleared the insects from four planets.

Ordinary warrior worms did not provide reward points for the Demon Team, but the tank worms weighing hundreds of tons, the plasma worms that could shoot plasma into space orbit, and the cerebrates that controlled a planet's ordinary worm race all provided reward points for the Demon Team. Little by little, each member of the Demon Team received a considerable number of reward points.

The Demon Team members, who had killed a large number of Zerg, had no need to worry about negative scores.

The clone of Chu Xuan shrunk the Haotian Mirror and inserted it into his own glasses.

"Judging from the location where the East Sea team descended, the mission of that Reincarnation Squad was also to help humanity... Moreover, their mission should be more difficult than ours, requiring them to kill even more Zerg."

In the eyes of the clone Chu Xuan, the East China Sea team could not possibly be on the side of the Zerg! It would be too easy for the East China Sea team, which directly descended into the solar system, to complete the mission that the Zerg might have. The Reincarnation Squad, whose strength is much stronger than the Demon Team, could easily destroy the entire human civilization by directly descending into the solar system.

If the East Sea Team's mission is to help the Zerg, their entry point into this world should be either the planet Krenduff they are currently on or another Zerg planet in this system.

In fact, in order to complete the mission of the Demon Team, the clone Chu Xuan concentrated most of his arrangements near the Klendav system.

If the East China Sea team is indeed on the Zerg side, the attack they will face upon arrival will be a level stronger than the attack they faced on Mars.

"Just as I expected, when the monsters in the reincarnation world are strong enough, even in the team battle world, the main god will not arrange too conflicting tasks... Next, we just need to wait for the reincarnators of the East Sea Team to reappear, and then use the power of the East Sea Team to defeat the final BOSS on Planet Klandav."

"Under the arrangement of the Supreme God, mobilizing the East China Sea team is not difficult."
