The player is playing like a god, and has already advanced to Space Marine level at the start.

The enormous black claw descended from the sky.

Lu Xiao looked up.

Through the red goggles of the visor, the trajectory of the giant claw's descent was clearly captured, each frame appearing very slow.

He had no intention of hiding.

He released the explosive gun and gripped the hilt of the power sword with both hands.

"May the Emperor protect you."

Lu Xiao unleashed psionic lightning, infusing his power sword with psionic energy.

"break!"

He soared into the sky, crashing straight into that demonic claw.

"Sizzle"

White lightning spread along the cut, devouring the material structure of the demon's claw.

A huge black claw, severed from the palm.

The broken half of the giant claw, having lost its energy support, crashed down onto the wasteland outside the village, kicking up a cloud of dust hundreds of meters high.

on the roof.

Morgana's hands, which were pressing down, froze in mid-air.

"Holy crap!"

She managed to squeeze out only two words.

The alarm of Devil One blared wildly in her mind.

[WARNING: The Demon Claw's structure is 45% damaged!]

[WARNING: Unknown high-frequency energy erosion detected; dark matter structure is being destroyed beyond repair!]

[WARNING: Target energy response continues to rise; danger level assessed as: extinction level!]

Morgana snapped out of her daze.

She looked up at the blue figure floating in the air, the white light from the sword stinging her eyes.

"This is unwinnable."

She immediately chickened out.

She's so poor right now; repairing just one Demon Claw would consume the resources of half the entire galaxy. If this one were destroyed too, she, the Demon Queen, would truly have to beg for food.

"You win!"

Morgana spat through gritted teeth.

With a wave of her hand, the tattered giant claw vanished. A massive wormhole opened up behind her.

"Blue can, you just wait, Queen!"

Morgana uttered a harsh remark and then disappeared into the wormhole.

Lu Xiao raised his hand, lifted the bomb gun, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three explosive bombs were fired, hitting only the closing spatial ripples and exploding into three bursts of fire.

"heresy."

Lu Xiao looked at the empty rooftop and snorted coldly.

He activated the thrusters, slowly descended, and landed back next to the millstone.

……

In a back alley of Giant City.

The space rippled.

Morgana stumbled and fell, landing hard on the stained lid of a trash can, clutching her chest and gasping for breath.

"We lost money."

Her face was contorted with pain.

"We've lost so much money!"

That was Dark Silver! One of the most valuable hard currencies in the known universe, and it was chopped up like tofu?

Morgana grew angrier the more she thought about it, and raised her hand to open the communication.

"Karl!"

She roared at the communication interface.

"You perverted bastard, are you still pretending to be dead? Get your ass out here right now!"

A few seconds later, Karl's projection appeared. He was still wearing that dark red robe, holding a quill pen, with the starry sea of ​​Deathsong Academy in the background.

"Liang Bing," Carl's voice was as gentle as ever, "you look terrible."

"Screw your embarrassing state!"

Morgana pointed at her own nose and roared, spitting so much that the holographic projection became unstable.

"Look at the state I'm in now, Queen! Just now in Huang Village, I almost got cleaved in two by that blue-canned food!"

She stood up and paced restlessly back and forth in the alley, her high heels clicking loudly on the ground.

"Karl, you better confess! Did you secretly add something to the third-generation divine body resources you gave Lu Xiao?"

Karl put down his pen.

"It's just a standard resource pack."

"Standard my ass!"

Morgana threw a data chart at Karl's face.

"Look for yourself! This is the recording of the battle just now! That kid's physical strength is far more exaggerated than that of a typical third-generation god! The most outrageous thing is that white light, what is that? Can psionic energy be this monstrous?"

She pointed to the energy curve that was soaring vertically on the data chart.

"Demon One's system is almost burning out, and it still can't analyze it! That energy melted my Demon Claw! It melted it! Do you understand? Dark Silver is no different from a piece of broken plastic in front of it!"

Morgana clutched her hair, looking utterly devastated.

"I originally just wanted to go to Huangcun to revive Atuo and build a team, but I stepped on a landmine as soon as I left. Earth is too dangerous now; anyone who pops up is a monster."

She stared intently at Karl, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Did you already know he had this ability? You deliberately set me up, didn't you?"

Carl shook his head.

"I was unaware of it."

Morgana launched into a tirade of profanities.

"Your Majesty, my claws are broken, I've lost all my men, and I'm penniless! You have to compensate me!"

She simply extended her hand.

"Give me money and resources. Otherwise, I'll move to Death Song Academy and nag you about your petty problems every day."

Carl sighed softly.

"Don't worry, Liang Bing. I won't let you suffer any injustice."

He waved his hand, and an interstellar coordinate was sent over.

"The new Devil One is ready for you, and it's parked in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system."

Morgana's eyes lit up instantly.

"real?"

"Really." Karl's tone was completely flat. "The accompanying resource library is complete. The style is still your favorite: castle, decadence, freedom."

Morgana's anger vanished instantly, replaced by undisguised joy.

"At least you have some conscience."

She immediately stood up straight and straightened her wrinkled leather coat.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste any more time with you. I'm off to collect my new room, Your Majesty."

After the call ended, Morgana felt much better.

"Out with the old, in with the new."

Humming a little tune, she opened the wormhole again and disappeared into the shadows of the alley.

……

Huangcun.

Lu Xiao stood under the big locust tree, inspecting the force field generator of the power sword. The coils were getting a little hot from the extreme overload just now.

The villagers who had been hiding earlier now poked their heads out one by one.

What they just witnessed was beyond their understanding of "fighting".

Several young people wearing anime T-shirts pushed and shoved each other. The boldest one stepped forward, clutching his phone tightly with the camera pointed directly at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao turned her head.

The young men were so frightened that their phones almost flew out of their hands.

But when their eyes swept over the white, inverted "Ω" symbol on Lu Xiao's shoulder armor, their fear instantly turned into unbelievable fervor.

Holy crap!

A fat man wearing glasses stared wide-eyed, his voice trembling.

"That...that's...a Limit Breaker?"

His companion next to him swallowed hard.

"Blue armor, gold trim, inverted Omega... This is the Thirteenth Legion! Robert Guilliman's son!"

"No way? This is cosplay?"

"Your cosplay can slice that giant claw in the sky in half with one sword? Your props can light up and fly on their own?"

The fat man was so excited that his face turned red, and he took two more steps forward.

"That's the Emperor's angel of death! It's an Astartes!"

His voice trembled, and he was so excited that he became incoherent.

"It's real... Warhammer is real! Emperor... Emperor is real too!"

The surrounding villagers couldn't understand what they were yelling at all; they just thought the young men were terrified.

Lu Xiao heard their discussion clearly.

He stopped the repair and glanced at the group of young people.

The helmet's loudspeaker is activated.

"mortal."

The voice was deep, with a metallic vibration and an inhuman majesty.

The fat man's legs buckled, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Sir...sir!"

He stammered.

"For the Emperor!"

The other young people also realized what was happening. Although they felt it was a bit childish, they instinctively shouted it out in the face of that powerful aura.

"For the Emperor!"

Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

"very good."

He uttered two words and then turned around.

All that remained were the villagers, still reeling from the shock, and a few "hammer guys" with tears in their eyes.

"I...I saw a live Space Marine," the fat man muttered to himself. "This life has been worth it."

……

The edge of the solar system, the Kuiper Belt.

In the frigid void, a castle-like spaceship, resembling a mountain range, floated silently. It was entirely black, adorned with numerous spires, and exuded an aura of decadence and evil.

Spatial fluctuations.

Morgana appeared in the spaceship's main control room.

"Wow, they really are exactly the same."

She looked around.

The familiar skeletal throne, the familiar dark decorations, even the faint smell of sulfur in the air is the same.

"That freak Carl, his renovation skills are actually pretty good."

Morgana walked to the throne and ran her fingertips over the cold armrests.

"Demon One, start up."

[The Demon One operating system has been activated.]

Welcome back, my queen.

[Energy system online...Shield system online...Computing power system integration complete...]

The lights in the hall came on one by one, and holographic projections unfolded in front of Morgana.

"Open the Reincarnation Pool."

Morgana gave the order.

The floor in the center of the hall cracked open, revealing a pool of viscous red liquid churning beneath.

"Retrieve Ator's data."

Morgana traced her fingers in the air.

"And Atai and his brothers... bring back every single one of the brothers who were killed by that bitch Keisha in that battle for me, Queen."

[Importing genetic data...]

[Reconstructing the biological body...]

The Reincarnation Pool began to boil violently.

Countless bubbles burst, and the liquid began to condense, slowly outlining a human shape.

Ten minutes later.

A giant hand gripped the pool wall.

Ator climbed out of the pool. He was naked, his muscles bulging, and his demonic wings spread out from his back, leaving behind a trail of red slime.

Next up was Artest...

One by one, demon warriors were reborn from the pool of water, kneeling silently at Morgana's throne.

"Queen."

Ato's voice was hoarse.

He lowered his head deeply.

"We failed again."

These demon warriors all remembered the scene before their deaths: the judgment of angels and the bombardment of flaming swords.

They were defeated generals.

Morgana sat on her throne, legs crossed, surveying the group of old friends below the steps.

"Alright, stop acting like you've lost your parents."

Morgana waved her hand, her tone relaxed.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. How many years have we been fighting that bitch Keisha? Haven't we lost countless times?"

She stood up, walked down the steps, came to Atto, and patted his broad shoulder heavily.

"As long as I, the Queen, am alive, you will not die."

Morgana turned around, opened her arms, and faced all the demons.

"Although we suffered a big setback this time, we've upgraded our equipment. Karl, that rich guy, really went all out this time."

She pointed to the brand-new equipment around her.

"Just be more careful next time. We demons are never afraid to start over."

Ato raised his head, and the guilt and dejection in his eyes transformed back into fervor.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The demons roared in unison.

"That's right."

Morgana nodded in satisfaction.

"Atai, go check the armory. Blackwind, you take some men and build the defensive network around this ship."

She paused, then brought up Lu Xiao's video, the image frozen on the moment he cleaved the demon's claw with his sword.

"As for that blue can..."

"Ato".

"exist."

"Keep a close eye on this kid's every move. For now, don't provoke him."

"This thing is a bit strange."
