Colonial Suit

#345 - Paying the price

The entire Fifth World was in an uproar.

Comet-class individuals were not small figures; they were at the top of the food chain in this level of world. Although the family wars in the Fifth World were extremely cruel, most of the losses were ordinary fleets or Meteor Warriors they had cultivated. Actual losses of Comet-class individuals were almost nonexistent. Yet, unexpectedly, in just a few days, two Comet-class individuals had fallen one after another, both killed by the same person. How could this not shock everyone?

Damn it, those weren't just any cats or dogs; they were Comet-class! Comet-class individuals who could influence the balance of the world! How could they be killed so easily? Where were their trump cards? Where were their life-saving measures?

No one knew.

But everyone was clear about one thing: the Fifth World was about to be reshuffled. The Dao Luo Alliance, having lost two Comet-class individuals in succession, had suffered a great loss of strength and had to pay astronomical claims from the mercenary organizations. What they had occupied in one starfield was far from enough to make up for it. Unless they could really annex the Romick family, they were destined to lose everything.

And if the three major powers were like this, not to mention the small families that depended on the Dao Luo Alliance. If the war went smoothly, they could follow the three major powers and feast on the corpse of the Romick family.

But now, all the resources had to be used to pay compensation, and they wouldn't even have a hair left. They had truly lost both their wife and their army.

In just half a month, the situation in the entire Fifth World had changed dramatically. The Romick family was no longer struggling to survive, while the originally aggressive Dao Luo Alliance had suffered a great loss of morale. Everyone was panicking.

The entire family war had reached its first stalemate since the start of the war.

And in this stalemate, the name of the Blood Pupil Squad attracted everyone's attention.

Not to mention their impressive kill record, the two kills by their captain alone had almost changed the course of the war. It had to be said that the Blood Pupil Squad had successfully established its reputation in the Fifth World. And this was just the beginning. As the war progressed, the third kill by Blood Pupil appeared, stunning everyone even more.

Dao Luo Alliance, the Comet-class space pirate invited by Noah's New Ark, 'Calamity' Volke.

The third fallen Comet-class!

For a time, the entire Fifth World seemed to lose its voice, frightened by Blood Pupil's fierce methods. To actually kill Comet-class individuals three times in a row in just a few months. Who exactly was this Blood Pupil, this universe mercenary? Was he really a Comet-class himself? Or was there a Monster-class monster hidden beneath that Comet-class identity? How could he kill warriors of the same level so easily? Who in the entire Fifth World could stop him? If he intended to carry out a decapitation tactic, who among the leaders of the three major powers could survive?

This was simply a nightmare!

Instantly, the entire Fifth World was in chaos, and all the families participating in the war were looking for new military support in order to gain a sense of security in this chaotic situation.

However, in this increasingly tense atmosphere, the Romick family was not doing much better. The entire family's fleet was rapidly gathering, heading to the war zone in waves. And in the rear, in Ceraritun, the floating castle was even more bleak.

For no other reason than Blood Pupil was injured.

Ambushing three Comet-class individuals in a row was not as simple as eating and drinking. Even Blood Pupil had to pay a great price. Ambush was just a tactic; killing depended on strength.

It was a pity that although Blood Pupil was strong, his enemies were not weak either. The two Comet-class individuals he killed later were both very tricky enemies. Among them, the 'Mirror Image Chantress' Isha sisters were said to be one person, but they were a deformed being with two heads and four hands. They could release multiple abilities at the same time, so they were also known as the Mirror Image Chantress. Fighting her alone was like fighting two Comet-class individuals at the same time.

Blood Pupil had obtained intelligence and ambushed her near a star gate. At that time, she had just flown out of the star gate, and her entire ship was penetrated by Blood Pupil's attack. He killed one of the Isha sisters' heads in the first moment. But the remaining head still fought Blood Pupil bitterly. In the end, Blood Pupil was forced to take out the positron cannon again to kill her with one blow.

This battle was very difficult, and it made Blood Pupil realize the tenacity of the Comet-class again. In fact, the Isha sisters' strength even exceeded Balkro's. If it wasn't for the sneak attack, Blood Pupil would not have been able to kill them successfully.

And the third target was even more powerful, 'Calamity' Volke.

This was a very famous wolf-tribe space pirate in the Fifth World, possessing a humanoid body and a wolf's head. He was also the most difficult melee fighter Blood Pupil had ever seen. 'Calamity' Volke had already entered the Comet-class, and his melee skills and combat experience were far superior to Blood Pupil's. Moreover, he had the same beastly intuition as Blood Pupil, so Blood Pupil's ambush was almost immediately discovered by him. They directly entered a heated close combat. The two fought on a nearly barren planet, from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere. Along the way, mountain peaks were broken and the earth was torn apart.

Rolling lava surged into the sky like a fountain, eventually forming a sea of lava.

Blood Pupil and Volke's final battle took place on this sea of lava. Both sides took out their final trump cards. 'Calamity' Volke unsealed his Comet characteristic, which was the extremely rare 'Calamity Aura' in the legends. It would emit an invisible aura from the body that would affect the opponent's fate, causing the opponent to have bad luck and make frequent mistakes during combat.

In a Comet-class battle, even one mistake could be fatal, let alone constant mistakes?

Blood Pupil was immediately hit and almost defeated by Volke's series of attacks. But just as he was knocked into the sea of lava, he suddenly glanced at Volke.

In that one glance, life and death were decided!

Volke died… He died under Blood Pupil's characteristic. When Blood Pupil lifted his head from the sea of lava and flew into the sky, the entire sea of lava had turned blood red, as if it were a boundless… sea of blood.

However, Blood Pupil was seriously injured in this battle. Volke's claws possessed an extremely rare poison called 'Instant'. It meant that as long as one was touched by Instant, it was enough to kill a person. Blood Pupil's abdomen was directly penetrated by Volke's claws, and the poison penetrated deep into his internal organs. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died long ago. How could the poison carried by a Comet-class warrior be simple? But Blood Pupil still survived relying on the colonial armor's super vitality.

However, when he returned to Ceraritun, he was no longer in human form. His muscles were spasming rapidly, as if a mass of rotten mud was wriggling on his body. He fell into a coma as soon as he returned to his room.

The entire floating castle was immediately thrown into chaos. Blood Pupil's injury meant that the Romick family's family war, which had just improved a little, was shrouded in another layer of fog. Moreover, as the only Comet-class individual in the Romick family at the moment, Blood Pupil was almost the Romick family's only reliance. If they lost Blood Pupil, there was no need to fight this war.

Carrie was about to send Blood Pupil to the zero-gravity treatment center immediately. But she was stopped by Robbie.

The young priest stood at the door of Blood Pupil's room, revealing a gentle and sunny smile to everyone.

"Do not disturb."

He said, his eyes flashing with trusting light. "Blood Pupil has a way to solve everything.

What we need is just to wait." No one dared to ignore Robbie's words, because although he looked so sunny and handsome, everyone knew that just a few days ago, he had personally killed two Meteor-class individuals. The reputation of the Annunciation Priest had spread far and wide in the Fifth World, becoming a dazzling new star among the universe mercenaries.

What's more, although Robbie smiled gently, one hand was always hanging in his sleeve. No one knew what he was holding in that hand, a Bible or a pistol?

And behind Robbie, Blood Pupil had already entered Jerome. He was starting an emergency modulation.

Robbie was the one he asked to guard the door, because he couldn't let others know the secret of the colonial armor.

Jerome was different from the colonial armor. Whether it was its appearance or its organizational structure, it looked like the crystallization of biological technology, which could easily make people think of Crodir. So Blood Pupil had to hide it.

Floating quietly in Jerome's modulation fluid, Blood Pupil felt that all the cells in his body were burning.

It could be said that this was the closest Blood Pupil had been to death since leaving Burn. Because Volke's poison was very special. It was not actually a deadly poison, but a cell catalyst that consumed cell energy by accelerating the rate of cell metabolism, so as to cause cells to die in a short period of time. From its name, one could see how perverted the accelerating effect of this poison was. It could burn all of a person's cells to death in an instant.

And this happened to hit Blood Pupil's, or rather, the colonial armor's weakness.

As everyone knew, the main reason why the colonial armor was so powerful was that it was composed of enhanced cells and was a living armor. Through genetic engineering and deep modulation, cells that conformed to evolution were selected. It could simulate the weapon and device effects of most mechanical civilizations.

But enhanced cells were not invincible either. Its biggest problem was that it consumed too much energy and metabolized too quickly. Before Blood Pupil obtained the energy conversion unit, he had to eat frantically every time he fought, which showed how hungry the enhanced cells were. And when it was fighting, it was replacing cells at a crazy rate, almost once every ten minutes. New cells replaced old cells, and old cells were eaten as nutrients.

Volke's poison was precisely the nemesis of enhanced cells.

It accelerated the cell's metabolism and burned cell energy, which was equivalent to accelerating the replacement of enhanced cells. Under the control of the core, this replacement was controllable. But this poison caused the enhanced cells to exceed the control range of the core in a very short period of time. It began a self-destructive frenzy of replacement. From once every ten minutes to seven minutes, five minutes, three minutes…

Think about what would happen if a person replaced all their cells in three minutes?

The colonial armor was in such a situation. If Blood Pupil had not obtained the energy conversion unit and consumed all the high-compression energy blocks in the first moment, he would not have been able to return from this battle.

So at this moment, Blood Pupil was lying in Jerome's modulation fluid, receiving the most painful treatment.
