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

Demon Wings, Main Control Hall.

Morgana leaned back on the throne, her left sleeve empty, with wisps of white smoke rising from the broken end.

"Your Majesty, the medical pod is ready." Black Wind shrank into mid-air, his voice trembling.

"Get out of here." Morgana spat out the two words through gritted teeth, pressing her right hand hard against her left shoulder.

Dark energy surged at the wound, attempting to repair the tissue, but the remaining white psionic energy gnawed at the new flesh like venomous insects. She was in excruciating pain, cold sweat pouring down her face, and cursed, "This damned sorcery."

Morgana glanced at the center of the hall. "Get that idiot Thornton back to me first. If it weren't for my own men taking that sword for me, I'd be dead today."

Black Wind immediately took action, his fingers leaving afterimages on the table. A buzzing sound filled the hall, and Soton lay sprawled on the floor, panting heavily.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!" The crocodile sat up, rubbing his neck. "Where's my head? I just saw it fly off and roll around on the ground several times, getting my mouth full of dirt."

He stared wide-eyed, looking around in confusion. "Your Majesty, that white helmet was too ruthless. I didn't even see how he moved, but my neck felt cold."

Thornton sniffed, his stomach rumbling loudly. "I'm hungry. Queen, is there anything to eat? This resurrection work is too much trouble; I feel like my intestines are stuck to my spine."

Morgana gritted her teeth. "Eat, all you know is how to eat!" She grabbed a metal cup and threw it at him.

With a clang, the cup bounced away, but the leather strap of the cup wasn't even broken.

"Hundreds of brothers died there! And you still have the nerve to ask me for food?" Morgana roared.

The space around the hall rippled, and Ator emerged from the wormhole, carrying the Command Sword, its tip dripping blood. Several menacing demons followed behind him.

"Your Majesty!" Ato knelt on one knee. "I have accomplished my mission. Those scum from the Alliance of Haters have been wiped out. That leader, the captain, I cleaved him in two, shield and all. These Earth super soldiers look tough, but they're just a bunch of cowards. I'm thinking..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ato froze. He saw Morgana's severed arm and the mess on the floor. The hall was eerily quiet.

Atto stood up, his eyes wide. "Queen...this...who did this? Who hurt the Queen? I'll chop him up!"

"Alright, stop yelling." Morgana waved her hand. "Chop him up? I should be grateful he didn't chop me up on the spot."

She pointed to the screen, the image frozen on the moment Lu Xiao slashed the wormhole with his sword. "Lu Xiao. That madman in the blue armor. Atuo, remember that face. That bastard is not only ruthless, but also an expert in psionic power."

Ato stared at the screen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Queen, I'm going to gather the rest of our brothers. Even if it costs us our lives, we'll take him..."

"Fill my ass!" Morgana spat. "Those twenty-five guys wiped out hundreds of our elite troops, even Thorton got his head chopped off. Are you sending your men to be delivered to our deaths?"

She propped herself up on the throne, staring at the smoking broken end. "Make a note of this debt in my notebook. A head-on confrontation is suicidal. Let's deal with those corpses from the Alliance of Haters and see if we can extract some genetic resources. We need to recover first."

"Yes." Atto bowed and accepted the order.

……

Yunshan Base.

The searchlights swayed wildly as construction vehicles cleared rubble. Lu Xiao stood at the edge of the crater, a severed arm lying at his feet.

"Fourth-generation divine body." He crouched down, his fingertips tracing the armor. Arcs of electricity leaped across the surface of the armor, and white psionic flames instantly engulfed the severed limbs. The dark energy that had originally adhered to it rapidly melted away under the burning psionic energy.

A few minutes later, the aura dissipated, leaving only the material structure.

"Good stuff," Lu Xiao whispered. The cells of the fourth-generation divine body are extremely active and contain a large amount of energy.

"System, recycle." With a thought, the severed arm disappeared into the storage compartment. "Go back and throw it to that guy Xu Tianlong for him to study."

Lu Xiao stood up and brushed off the dust. Lei Zhan and his soldiers had finished lining up; their armor had some scratches, but no one had fallen behind.

"Company Commander, the battlefield is cleaned up. No survivors. The flesh of those demons has been burned to ashes; not even a single cell can be found." Lei Zhan reported with a salute.

"Okay." Lu Xiao glanced at the sky. "Boarding. Back to Giant Hero City."

"yes!"

……

Giant City, the base of the Super Soldier Company.

On the playground, the super soldiers were dawdling over their morning exercises. Liu Chuang kicked a pebble, which hit the wall and left a white mark.

"This is so damn frustrating!" Liu Chuang jumped onto the parallel bars, took off his hat to fan himself, and said, "What kind of defense of our country is this? We're just running laps and standing in positions all day long."

"And what about Lu Xiao? He took a plane out late last night and came back this morning covered in blood. The smell of gunpowder was so strong you could smell it from a distance."

He looked at Ge Xiaolun beside him, "Xiaolun, why don't you say something? Are we being treated like useless pawns, sidelined?"

Ge Xiaolun pulled up the grass roots. "Chuangzi, you should say less."

"Difference? What difference is there!" Liu Chuang threw his hat on the ground. "That Wang Yanbing, when he was hanging around on the streets, he still had to call me Brother Chuang politely."

"Why does he act all high and mighty just because he's wearing a tin can and carrying a big gun? I saw it last night; the way Wang Yanbing looked at me when he got off the plane was like he was looking at a greenhorn. With my temper, if I weren't really no match for him, I would have gone and beaten him up this morning."

Zhao Xin leaned against the basketball hoop, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. "Chuangzi, don't be so unconvinced. They really showed their skills in person. Qilin went to check it out just now. She said that guy named He Chenguang shot a fly two kilometers away with one shot."

Qilin was cleaning her gun on the stone steps.

Her tone was tinged with frustration, "Back in the police force, I thought my marksmanship was unmatched. After joining the Super Soldier Squad and getting the God-Slaying Sniper Rifle, I felt like I could control everything."

"But after seeing He Chenguang's style, that guy came from the 4th Company of Sharpshooters. His dynamic vision and prediction are faster than my gene engine. Lu Xiao's men are all these kinds of freaks."

"You can't just leave us hanging like this!" Rui Mengmeng said, hugging her knees. "We're here to fight, why are we being treated like freeloaders?"

Lena walked over, wearing a black trench coat. "Alright, stop wailing here."

She glanced at the crowd. "You're all so dejected. You haven't even seen the aliens yet, and you're already acting like cowards?"

"Big sister, this isn't about being a coward or not." Liu Chuang jumped down. "It's a matter of attitude. That kid Lu Xiao clearly looks down on our Super Soldier Company. He lets his own people do all the work and treats us like ornaments."

"It's not that he looks down on you." Lena sat down. "Last night, the fighting in Yunshan was earth-shattering. I heard that Morgana even personally got involved and broke off all pretense of civility. With your current mediocre skills, you'd just be offering yourselves up for slaughter if you went."

"Who's going to their death? I'll bring down this axe..." Liu Chuang gestured.

"Before you even raise your axe, a sniper will have already ripped a hole in your forehead." Lena rolled her eyes at him. "Get your act together, all of you. Lu Xiao doesn't include you guys because he's blind. Our Super Soldier Squad is the future of gods. When you guys really grow up, you'll scare him to death."

……

The command center on the top floor of the headquarters building.

Lu Xiao stood by the window, holding a water glass. He Chenguang pushed open the door and handed her a report.

"Company Commander. Last night's battle damage is in. We've used up about 30% of our ammunition, and our armor has suffered some minor scratches, but no one was injured. Also, the data on Morgana's severed arm has been analyzed."

Lu Xiao glanced at the report. "Give that arm to Xu Tianlong and see if he can reverse engineer the fourth-generation divine body's aggregation technology. If we can mix some of this material into our armor, its defensive capabilities can double."

"Yes, sir." He Chenguang looked at the parade ground. "Company commander, those new recruits down there are quite agitated. That Liu Chuang glared at me when he came in just now. Should I go and loosen up their muscles? Teach them what discipline is?"

"There's no need." Lu Xiao took a sip of water. "Let them make a scene, the bigger the better."

He pointed to the Giant Hero aircraft carrier on the tactical map, "Dukao is in jail now, and the Super Soldier Corps is like an orphan."

Morgana has suffered such a huge loss, she definitely won't back down. She hates me to the core now, but she doesn't dare to confront me directly, so she'll definitely find someone easy to bully, either to establish her authority or to find a way to lure us away from our predicament.

He Chenguang's eyes sharpened. "You mean...?"

"Throw the Super Soldier Corps onto the Giant Hero," Lu Xiao said calmly. "Let them be cannon fodder. If Morgana wants to get revenge, the Giant Hero is the perfect target."

"But, with their current strength, can they hold them off?"

"We can't hold them off. It's hanging by a thread for even a minute." Lu Xiao picked up the explosive pistol and pulled the bolt. "Pass the word down, the entire company is on level two alert. Tell Lei Zhan to secure those heavy explosive positions for me."

"clear!"

……

Two days later, on the deck of the USS Giant.

Liu Chuang, walking at the back of the line, looked displeased. "Hey, lady, is this what they call being exiled? What exactly does Lu Xiao mean by just dumping us out to sea and then abandoning us?"

"Since you're here, make the best of it." Ge Xiaolun patted him on the shoulder. "Staying here is fine, at least you don't have to face those blue-clad guys' cold faces every day."

The officer led his men forward to greet them, "Greetings, sir!"

Everyone returned the greeting casually. Lena took off her sunglasses. "Alright, enough with the formalities. Take us to our lodgings first. And what are we having for dinner? This goddess is starving!"

"Everything is ready. Please follow me."

Liu Chuang looked back at the shore, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Lu Xiao did indeed throw them onto the Giant Hero as cannon fodder.
