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

The villa's gate was tightly closed.

Lu Xiao casually placed the silver-white tablet and VR device on the coffee table, making a soft sound.

He sank back into the sofa.

He felt absolutely nothing when facing Du Qiangwei and the angel. There was no anger, no shame, and no instinctive reaction to beauty.

Lu Xiao raised her hand and looked at her palm.

This indifference was not feigned. After being conscripted by the Emperor and undergoing twenty-two implant modifications, most of the humanity of that Earth youth, Lu Xiao, had died in the process. Now, much of his emotion had been removed.

Lu Xiao closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

Memories of my past life flooded my mind.

It was a white room filled with the smell of disinfectant.

In his past life, his mother died early, and his father worked on construction sites, raising him with his calloused hands. To avoid overworking his father, he went out to work after finishing junior college. Assembly line work, night shifts, and cheap takeout delivery quickly took a toll on his health.

That morning, he spat out blood while brushing his teeth, staining the sink red. Then came the noise of ambulances and the emergency room.

He woke up in his hospital bed with excruciating chest pain and vomited a large amount of blood. He couldn't hear what the doctor was saying, and his ears were ringing sharply. He gave up treatment because he didn't have enough money in his account for a day's ICU expenses, and he didn't want to spend his father's savings for his funeral.

The feeling of life slipping away was very clear; my vision gradually blurred, and the electrocardiogram turned into a straight line.

Fifteen minutes later, the door was kicked open.

The father rushed in, his work clothes covered in mud and dust, one shoe missing, and a thermos in his hand. Seeing the body covered by a white sheet on the bed, the thermos fell to the floor with a clatter, spilling chicken soup everywhere.

The father didn't cry, but just opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat. Then he knelt down straight, his hair visibly white.

The elderly bury their children.

That was the last scene of Lu Xiao's previous life.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying in a rented room in Giant City.

Lu Xiao suddenly opened her eyes.

In this life, his body was as strong as steel, possessing both strength and a long lifespan.

Therefore, no one should try to send him to his death.

Nobody can have a say in this.

He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, the city lights were just coming on, and the traffic formed ribbons of light.

According to the plot, the Taotie's scouts are almost here. The three Taotie wearing exoskeleton armor will appear at the airport to test Earth's defenses.

Lu Xiao glanced at the clock; it was almost time.

He turned around and picked up the car keys from the entryway cabinet.

Since we're alive, we have to find some fun. Those three alien bastards are perfect for stretching our muscles and testing this body's combat stats.

……

Giant City Airport.

A taxi was driving through traffic. The driver was a middle-aged man, and the radio was playing the evening news.

Lu Xiao sat in the back row, her legs curled up, her knees pressed against the seat in front.

"Young man, going to the airport?" The driver glanced in the rearview mirror. "There's a bit of traffic right now, so it might take a while."

"No rush." ​​Lu Xiao looked out the window. "Just drive steadily."

The car drove onto a section of the cross-sea bridge.

Suddenly, a loud bang of screeching brakes and a series of rear-end collisions came from ahead, followed by flames shooting into the sky.

The taxi driver slammed on the brakes, nearly causing the front of the car to collide with the car in front.

"What happened? There was an explosion up ahead?" The driver poked his head out to look.

The crowd erupted into chaos, and people panicked and ran off the bus, fleeing in all directions.

"Murder! Monster! Run!"

"Help! My car's been blown up!"

A scream pierced the night sky.

Lu Xiao pushed open the car door and got out.

The sea breeze carried the smell of burnt rubber and gasoline.

He looked up at the sky.

Three black dots hovered in the air, their feet resting on aircraft that emitted blue light.

They are the scouts of the Taotie.

They wore gray-white mechanical exoskeletons and carried purple energy rifles, firing indiscriminately at the traffic below.

"Whoosh—Boom!"

A purple beam of light struck a bus, instantly turning it into a fireball.

"Hahaha, fragile life."

The voice of the Taotie warrior, amplified through a loudspeaker, echoed from the sky: "This is the hunting ground bestowed upon us by Death God Karl."

They swooped down, chasing after the running crowd.

Lu Xiao stood by the roadside, hands in his pockets, watching this scene expressionlessly.

In his eyes, it was a low-class farce.

Lacking tactics and coordination, they simply bully civilians with slightly more advanced individual equipment. In the 40K universe, they wouldn't even be worthy of carrying the Imperial Defense Force's shoes.

"Is this what they call an interstellar invasion?"

Lu Xiao shook his head, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Just then, a police car with its siren blaring sped up against traffic.

The car door opened, and a policewoman in a leather jacket rushed out, raising her gun and firing at the Taotie in the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The bullets struck the Taotie's exoskeleton, sending up a few sparks, but not even scratching off the paint.

It's Qilin.

The Taotie in the air paused for a moment and looked at Qi Lin.

"Hey, there's a female creature with a toy gun," one of the gluttonous monsters chuckled. "Take her back and offer her to my god Karl to study the physiological structure of Earthlings."

It changed direction and swooped down towards Qilin, its energy gun beginning to charge.

Qi Lin gritted her teeth, refusing to back down, and continued pulling the trigger. But her pistol was like a toothpick piercing a metal plate against the interstellar armor.

Everyone around was fleeing for their lives; no one dared to stop.

Apart from Lu Xiao.

He sighed.

He had intended to watch the show, but seeing this one-sided massacre still bothered him because of his human genes.

"system."

Lu Xiao gave the order in his mind.

"Armed".

There were no flashy special effects. The next second, the young man in casual clothes disappeared, replaced by a three-meter-tall blue steel giant.

The Mark X powered armor covered his entire body, the terracotta plates reflecting the firelight. The golden double-headed eagle insignia on his shoulder armor was very conspicuous. The heavy armor cracked the road surface, leaving two deep craters.

Lu Xiao stretched his neck, and the servo motor hummed.

He pulled a huge black gun from his waist.

Bomb gun.

Before the gluttonous beast that was swooping down on Qi Lin could react, a blue shadow appeared in its field of vision.

Lu Xiao raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The gunshots drowned out all other noise.

The bullet, trailing a fiery tail, struck the Taotie precisely in the chest.

The explosive bomb penetrated directly into the armor, triggering a delayed fuse.

"boom!"

The Taotie's chest cavity exploded, scattering blood, flesh, mechanical parts, and armor fragments everywhere. Its upper body vanished, leaving only its two legs hanging from the flying skateboard, which lurched a few meters before crashing to the ground.

The world seemed to fall silent for a second.

The other two Taotie were stunned.

Qi Lin was stunned.

The fleeing crowd stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at the blue giant.

Lu Xiao lowered the muzzle of his gun, and the visor of his helmet glowed red.

The loudspeaker broadcast his voice throughout the highway.

"Alien".

He took a step forward, and the ground trembled.

"Is this all you've got?"

The remaining two Taotie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with terror. Their data terminals were frantically alarming; the danger level of this behemoth before them had skyrocketed.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

One of the Taotie shouted and turned its skateboard around to escape.

Lu Xiao snorted coldly.

"Come and go as you please?"

He attached the explosive gun to the outside of his thigh and pulled out a two-meter-long chainsaw sword with his backhand.

He pressed the start button.

"Buzz!"

The chainsaw blade's teeth spun at high speed, emitting a piercing roar.

Lu Xiao bent his knees slightly, and the jetpack on his back emitted a tail flame.

"boom!"

He soared into the sky, leaving a deep crater in his wake. His speed was too fast for the naked eye to perceive, and he instantly caught up with the Taotie, which was attempting to climb.

The chainsaw sword whistled as it slashed down from above.

Although he didn't shout it, the muscle memory of "for the Emperor" made him perform the most standard slashing motion.

The gluttonous beast raised its energy gun to block.

But the gun was too weak against the chainsaw sword.

"Sizzle"

A chilling cutting sound rang out.

The serrated edge sliced ​​through the gun barrel, exoskeleton, flesh, and bone. The gluttonous beast didn't even have time to scream before it was sawed in half from head to toe.

Two pieces of corpse fell in a rain of blood.

Lu Xiao spun in the air and landed steadily on the roof of a bus with the help of the thrust, causing the roof to dent instantly.

He wiped the blood off his sword and looked at the last Taotie.

The gluttonous beast was terrified; it had never witnessed such pure physical slaughter. It desperately tried to gain altitude, attempting to escape back into outer space.

Lu Xiao did not chase after her.

He picked up the bomb gun again and switched to single-fire mode.

The helmet visor locked onto the rapidly shrinking black dot.

Wind speed, gravity, target trajectory—all calculations are completed in an extremely short time.

Pull the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bomb ripped through the sky.

Three seconds later, a small flame appeared high in the sky, and the black dot disappeared.

Lu Xiao put away his gun, stood on the roof of the car, and scanned the area below through his red goggles.

Is this what an intrusion is like?

too weak.

He was so weak that he couldn't feel any thrill in the fight.

He glanced at Qilin, who was still holding her gun, then turned around, activated his jetpack, and disappeared into the night as a streak of light.

All that was left was a mess and a group of Earthlings questioning the meaning of life.

Qi Lin lowered her arm and looked in the direction where the giant had disappeared, her eyes wide with shock.

"What is that..." she murmured to herself.

And on the top of a tall building in the distance.

Du Qiangwei's face was extremely pale.

She was nearby and was about to make a move, but the battle ended before she could even activate the micro-wormhole.
