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

Lu Xiao rushed to the main gate of the Imperial Palace.

The heavy solid wood door was blasted apart by the bomb, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Lu Xiao stepped across the burning threshold, his combat boots crunching on the gravel.

The alarms blared loudly inside the palace.

Dozens of palace police officers hid behind cover, their knuckles white from the strain of gripping revolvers and submachine guns.

"Fire! Fire now!"

The commander roared the order.

A hail of bullets swept over, striking the blue ceramic armor.

Lu Xiao didn't dodge; the bullet struck the armor, sparks flew, and he was bounced away.

"Too weak."

Lu Xiao raised the explosive gun and pulled the trigger.

boom! boom! boom!

Three muffled thuds rang out, and the three policemen behind the stone lantern were instantly blown into a bloody mist, their bunker pierced and shattered by the explosives.

The remaining police officers dropped their guns and collapsed to the ground, kicking their legs as they retreated.

Lu Xiao ignored them and walked straight to the main hall.

That was the dwelling place of the locusts.

The guards who rushed out along the way tried to stop him, but Lu Xiao did not stop.

The chainsaw sword was swung, and the engine hummed.

Limbs and severed arms flew through the air, and blood splattered on the stone pavement.

Lu Xiao pushed open the main hall door.

At the far end of the hall, an elderly man in a suit was being helped by a servant, preparing to escape through the back door.

Hearing the noise, the old man turned around and saw a three-meter-tall blue steel giant and a blood-dripping chainsaw sword.

The old man's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground.

The servant screamed and drew his gun, aiming it at Lu Xiao.

"Baka! Don't come near His Majesty!"

boom.

Lu Xiao fired a shot casually, and the explosive shell completely tore the attendant's upper body apart.

He walked up to the old man, his enormous shadow completely enveloping him.

“Who…who are you?”

The old man asked in trembling Japanese.

Lu Xiao ignored him and turned on the loudspeaker.

"May I be reborn into a better family in my next life."

boom!

The explosive gun spewed flames, and the old man's head exploded like a watermelon.

Lu Xiao put away his gun and walked towards the side hall.

The map shows that it is the royal treasury.

boom!

The molten metal bomb melted a large hole in the thick security door.

Lu Xiao went into the warehouse, where the golden light was dazzling.

The shelves were piled high with gold bars, antique paintings and calligraphy, and boxes of US dollars.

"System, reclaim everything."

Lu Xiao reached out his hand, a flash of light appeared, and the valuables on the shelf were stored in the system space.

It only took three minutes to empty the treasure vault.

Lu Xiao left the treasure vault and returned to the courtyard.

"It's a bit deserted."

He looked at the empty buildings.

"System, change weapons."

The bomb gun was switched to a heavy flamethrower.

Lu Xiao pulled the trigger.

call!

A 50-meter-long flame erupted as the high-temperature argon fuel ignited violently upon contact with the wooden structure.

"burn."

Lu Xiao turned the gun barrel, and flames engulfed the main hall, corridors, and courtyard.

The fire soared into the sky, turning the night sky red.

He stood before the sea of ​​fire, watching the chrysanthemum emblem turn black and crumble in the flames.

"Mission accomplished."

He put away the flamethrower and activated the jetpack.

boom!

The blue figure soared into the sky and disappeared into the night.

……

The outer perimeter of the palace.

Five Self-Defense Force divisions completed the encirclement. Tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery blocked the road, while more than a dozen armed helicopters circled overhead.

"Target spotted! Target spotted!"

The radar operator shouted.

As soon as Lu Xiao flew out of the palace, he saw the torrent of steel below.

"That's right."

Lu Xiao hovered in mid-air.

"Now this feels like a battlefield."

Instead of running away, he retracted his jetpack and crashed to the ground like a meteorite.

Boom!

He landed precisely on the tank's turret, the impact crushing the tank and breaking its tracks.

"Fire! Fire at will!"

The division commander roared from inside the command vehicle.

Da da da da!

Countless bullets intertwined to form a fire net.

Lu Xiao raised the Storm Shield, and the bullets struck the energy shield, creating ripples.

"Too slow."

Lu Xiao suddenly leaped up, drawing his chainsaw sword in mid-air.

hum!

The blade sliced ​​through an armored vehicle, cutting it in half, and the subsequent explosion engulfed the soldiers inside.

Lu Xiao weaved through the traffic with lightning speed.

At first, he had to endure it, but after ten minutes, he was able to predict the trajectory of the shells.

Sidestep, slide, jump.

A 120mm armor-piercing discarding sabot round grazed the shoulder armor and destroyed friendly forces behind it.

"Is this what combat instinct is?"

Lu Xiao felt her body heat up, but her mind remained calm.

The world before him slowed down; he could see the bullet trajectories and hear the sound of the tank loader pulling the breechblock.

boom!

He raised his hand and fired a shot; the explosive shell struck the barrel of a tank, causing it to explode and the turret to be blown off.

"My swordsmanship has become much smoother."

Lu Xiaochong advanced into the infantry formation, his chainsaw sword precisely slicing through the throats of each enemy.

With every swing of the sword, someone falls.

Five thousand people, ten thousand people.

The Self-Defense Forces' defenses collapsed, and their heavy equipment proved utterly vulnerable to the Blue Giant.

"He's a devil! He's a devil!"

The soldiers dropped their weapons and fled, crying out in despair.

Lu Xiao stood amidst the wreckage and glanced at the system interface.

[Combat Assessment: Reaction speed increased by 30%, melee proficiency increased by 20%, and shooting accuracy increased by 15%.]

"Grinding monsters to level up, that's absolutely true."

Lu Xiao shook off the bits of flesh from the chainsaw sword.

In the distance, sirens blared, and more reinforcements were on their way.

"Time to log off."

Lu Xiao activated his jetpack, and a blue trail of flame streaked across the sky before disappearing into the clouds.

……

Giant Hero.

On the holographic screen in the command center, footage of the fire and battle at the Tokyo Imperial Palace is being played.

Duca stood in front of the screen, his brow furrowed, an unlit cigar in his hand.

"Lianfeng, have the test results for Deno III come out yet?"

Duca asked in a deep voice.

Lianfeng typed rapidly on the keyboard.

"Reporting to the commander, this cannot be analyzed."

Lianfeng turned around, her face solemn.

"Unable to resolve?"

Dukao stared at her.

"How come Deno III can't even analyze a single Earth creature?"

"Yes."

Lianfeng retrieved the data.

"The target showed no dark energy fluctuations or super-gene characteristics. In Deno III's view, he was like a stone or a wisp of air. But his combat prowess surpassed that of a third-generation super soldier."

"No dark energy?"

Ducao crushed the cigar.

"Purely physical methods?"

"That seems to be the case."

Lianfeng nodded.

"His armor is made of an extremely dense material that cannot be penetrated by scanning beams. The construction of his chainsaw sword and explosive gun does not conform to the technological tree of known civilizations. He is neither an angel, nor a demon, nor a blazing sun."

"Then who is he?"

Dukao pointed at the screen.

"It couldn't have just popped out of a crack in a rock."

Lianfeng pursed her lips.

"Although I can't analyze Denno III, I've changed my approach."

"What's the thought process?"

"I conducted an image search on the Earth network."

Lianfeng typed on the keyboard. On the left side of the screen was a picture of the giant, and on the right side was the game's character illustration. The two were completely identical.

"This is……"

Dukao was stunned.

"Warhammer 40, a novel, and recently a video game called Space Marine 2 was released."

Lianfeng pointed to the documents.

"The target's appearance is completely consistent with the 'Ultraman' chapter in the game. Blue paint, white U-shaped logo, and gold double-headed eagle emblem."

"game?"

Dukao found it absurd.

"You mean, someone conjured up a character from the game?"

"It's not just about the appearance."

Lianfeng retrieved the detailed information.

"According to the on-site recording, the target spoke Chinese. In the lore, these warriors are called 'Proto-Forged Space Marines'."

Tell me about it.

Ducao sat down.

"Original Space Marine, modified through 22 surgeries."

Lianfeng looked at the data.

"It possesses two hearts and three lungs. Its skeleton is reinforced with ceramic layers, and its muscle density is dozens of times that of an ordinary person. Its blood can coagulate instantly, its saliva can corrode metal, and it can even acquire memories by devouring the brains of its enemies."

"Two hearts?"

Dukao stroked his chin.

"This sounds a lot like an extreme biological weapon."

"Yes."

Lianfeng continued.

"The armor they're wearing is called the 'Mark X Power Armor,' which has all-encompassing environmental adaptability and an energy shield. That gun is called the 'Explosive Gun,' which fires micro-rocket-assisted high-explosive rounds."

Dukao remained silent for a long time.

"Chinese language, Chinese people."

He got up and paced around.

"And he doesn't have a dark dimension."

Lianfeng added.

"This means that Morgana can't grasp his data, and the angel's insightful eye can't see through his thoughts."

"check."

Dukao has sharp eyes.

"Have Yuqin cooperate with you and use all resources to find this person. He speaks Chinese, so he's the one we need to win over."

"Yes."

Lianfeng pays his respects.

"in addition."

Dukao pointed to the screen.

"Are they blocking the news?"

"No."

Dukao shook his head.

"This commotion is so big that it can't be contained. This might not be a bad thing for China. Let the public relations team keep a close eye on public opinion and prevent them from being swayed by the narrative."

"clear."

……

Giant City, rental house.

It was dimly lit outside the window. Lu Xiao sat shirtless on the floor. The room was a mess.

Gold bars, dollars, and jewelry were piled up in front of him.

"I've struck it rich."

Lu Xiao picked up the gold brick and weighed it in his hand; his heart began to race.

"System, valuation."

[Scanning loot...]

High-purity gold: 5000 tons.

[Cash (US dollars): 2000 billion.]

Antiques/jewelry/art: Several.

Total estimated value: approximately 1.2 trillion.

Just hours ago, I was worried about 900 yuan; now I'm richer than a country.

"Is this the thrill of war and plunder?"

Lu Xiao threw the gold bricks back into the pile.

"System, what can I exchange these things for?"

[The host can exchange high-value items for universal currency and deposit them into the host's real-world bank account.]

"Give me fifty million first."

Lu Xiao did not hesitate.

"Save the rest for later to upgrade equipment."

[Redeeming...]

[Redeem complete.]

Ding.

My phone vibrated; a bank text message had arrived.

[A deposit of 08 million was made into the account at 05:30 on August 15th.]

Looking at the long string of zeros, Lu Xiao burst out laughing.

He opened his browser, and the Weibo trending topics list was already flooded with posts.

#TokyoFire# [Breaking News]

#TheBlueGiant# [Breaking News]

#Yasukuni Shrine burned down# [Breaking News]

#EmperorAngel# [Hot]

The comment section was filled with "Holy crap!"

"Brothers! It's Chinese New Year! It really is Chinese New Year!"

"My uncle is studying in Tokyo, and he posted on his WeChat Moments that the Imperial Palace has been burned down!"

"That blue mech is so cool! It looks like a Ultramariner from Warhammer in the video!"

"Upstairs, what warhammer? That's an angel of death sent down by the Emperor!"

"That felt so satisfying! That fire made me feel so good all over!"

"Am I the only one who noticed that the giant was speaking Chinese? 'May you be reborn into a better family in your next life,' that's so awesome!"

"Are those our Chinese super soldiers? Has the nation finally made its move?"

"For the Emperor! For humanity! For China!"

Lu Xiao looked at the comments, turned off her phone, and walked to the window.

The morning light shines on the street, sanitation workers are sweeping, and breakfast stalls are steaming.

But this was just the calm before the storm.

The Taotie vanguard fleet is on its way, Thorton will be released soon, and Morgana is also there.

"Now we have money, and we have the equipment too."

Lu Xiao stretched, his bones cracking.

"Next, it's time to meet those so-called 'gods'."

He turned around and looked at the mess inside the room.

"But before that."

"We need to move to a bigger house first."
