Fang Senyan gritted his teeth, locked in a struggle with the monstrous Mammoth Beast, and upon hearing Aldaris's cry, immediately snapped back in fury: "You're a high-ranking hero unit among the Protoss, yet you shriek like you've been ** by a male Mammoth Beast! Have you no shame?" Aldaris instantly bit his lip, his face flushing red.

However, as he was encased in a shimmering sphere of light, only his silhouette was vaguely visible, so outsiders couldn't perceive his embarrassment.

In truth, the fellow had a great deal of pride.

Being forced by pressure to call for aid already felt demeaning, and Fang Senyan's taunt made him grit his teeth so hard he refused to make another sound.

Yet, despite his chiding, Fang Senyan left himself wide open, diving low to the ground to plant a seed of Ramtas.

He deliberately allowed the Mammoth Beast before him to strike him, using the impact to propel himself forward.

Mid-flight, he decisively drew "Judgment," executing the ritual of denouncing the heretic and similar motions seamlessly, then unceremoniously blasted it right onto the head of the Mammoth Beast Aldaris was fighting! Blinding holy light flared in the air.

Fang Senyan’s shot heavily wounded the Mammoth while simultaneously stunning it into stillness.

Facing the dazed giant, Fang Senyan took a deep breath, planting his feet firmly, motionless, merely raising his right arm high above his head!! One could see a dense, deep-green radiance emanating from the gauntlet on Fang Senyan's right hand! His arm was slowly drawing back, as if tethered by immense weight; even retracting a single millimeter seemed to consume every scrap of energy in his body! This arduous process of charging was the signature of activating his powerful gear-based ability: the Final Impact.

Charged to its peak, it was rumored that the sky, the earth, and the oceans themselves would tremble beneath this punch! Fortunately, the other Mammoth Beast was preoccupied and unable to pursue; after launching Fang Senyan into the air, Ramtas had burst from the earth and was desperately entwining itself around the creature, using every ounce of its being to trip it! While Ramtas was certainly no match for the Mammoth Beast, holding back the muscle-bound, simple-minded behemoth for a few seconds, perhaps even ten, was not an impossible task.

And that was precisely enough time for Fang Senyan to complete the charge for the Final Impact! A flash of light.

A blinding spark! The stunned Mammoth Beast had just managed to raise its head when it saw Fang Senyan’s fist roaring towards it.

The air itself echoed with a series of sonic booms caused by the intense compression.

Before it could even react, the thick, thirty-centimeter heavy shell covering its skull shattered like an eggshell, with a crisp smash sending slurry spraying everywhere! Moreover, this punch seemed imbued with a life of its own, dragging Fang Senyan’s entire body along as it shot forth! To use an analogy: if Fang Senyan’s right fist was the arrowhead of a launched arrow, his body was the shaft traveling with it! Thus, it wasn't just the fist; a large portion of Fang Senyan’s torso was embedded within the Mammoth Beast’s body, with only one hand and half a leg protruding.

The sharp edges of the fractured shell actually carved deep wounds across Fang Senyan’s surface, drawing streams of blood, yet he seemed utterly oblivious.

Suffering such a catastrophic blow, the Mammoth Beast immediately let out a piercing screech! Though they were engineered as war machines purged of pain receptors, the biological instinct remained, allowing them to sense their life rapidly draining away.

It raised its two sharp forelimbs, struggling fiercely to maintain balance and counteract the impact of the punch.

But its body no longer obeyed its brain; it still tumbled helplessly backward and sideways.

Aldaris, meanwhile, continued his fierce assault without pause.

Under his command, large amounts of positive and negative ions were aggregated, and distinctly visible, wrist-thick arcs of brilliant blue-white electricity snaked through the air, crackling violently against the Mammoth Beast’s surface.

The impacted areas rapidly developed scorch marks, and the yellowish-green fluid inside began to boil, vaporizing! Fang Senyan, however, was in no enviable state.

Almost his entire body was now inside the Mammoth Beast.

His arm felt constricted as if wrapped by many writhing, tough intestines—this was the Mammoth Beast’s dense muscle tendon cluster, the very source of its brute strength.

And Fang Senyan’s mouth inevitably tasted the Mammoth Beast’s bodily fluids.

The yellowish-green liquid possessed a foul odor, reminiscent of boiling hot excrement, yet the taste was first fishy and bitter, followed by a faint sweetness.

Of course, no convenient miracles occurred, such as Guo Jing gaining power from drinking snake blood or Shi Zhongyu achieving perpetual vigor from sipping gruel.

Fang Senyan had inadvertently sampled the substance and immediately acquired a persistent negative status effect: Genetic Conflict.

Its effect was a temporary reduction of his maximum health by five hundred points, lasting a full twenty days.

Just as he was boiling with annoyance, his right hand, plunged deep within the Mammoth Beast, suddenly grasped something small, vigorous, and violently pulsating! Even with Fang Senyan’s strength, holding the object gave him a feeling of near-loss of grip.

This thing possessed immense power, throbbing fiercely, and even seemed to create the illusion that it was squeezing out between his fingers.

Faced with this blatant defiance, Fang Senyan decisively squeezed with all his might.

This object could not possibly compete with Fang Senyan’s monstrous strength, so it exploded like a tomato, spraying gore everywhere.

This was the Mammoth Beast’s Core of Life; its destruction inflicted a fatal, crushing blow upon the creature! At that moment, Aldaris unleashed another particle beam, this one aimed squarely at the massive wound Fang Senyan had created.

This direct penetration attack became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

The enormous body of the Mammoth Beast instantly tore apart into seventeen or eighteen fragments, followed by an explosion of blood and viscera! It splattered messily across hundreds of square meters! Although this strike successfully eliminated a major threat, the residual energy from the powerful particle beam scorched Fang Senyan’s face black.

His entire body was coated in the Mammoth Beast’s incredibly viscous bodily fluids, and his hair stood stiffly on end from the electricity.

He looked utterly wretched, unable to resist roaring: "Aldaris, you did that on purpose!!" Aldaris had indeed done it on purpose.

He had a long-held crush on Zi, and always harbored resentment toward Fang Senyan.

While they cooperated for the greater good, personal grudges persisted as long as they didn't affect the main objective.

Furthermore, Fang Senyan’s earlier outburst had annoyed him immensely.

Thus, the fact that the particle beam’s aftermath achieved this result was a satisfaction to Aldaris, considerably improving his mood.

Dealing with the remaining Mammoth Beast was much simpler now.

Fang Senyan took the lead, his strength matching the creature’s, allowing him to hold it firmly in place.

Aldaris could confidently stand behind and charge up his particle beams, even planning to "accidentally" graze the target in the final few strikes.

With Ramtas adding occasional needle attacks, the situation was clearly trending in their favor.

This fierce battle also attracted the attention of some Protoss units that had managed to escape.

By the time they eliminated the second Mammoth Beast, Fang Senyan and his small group had successfully rallied another standard Dragoon and two Zealots to their side.

It is worth noting that Aldaris’s scheme of betrayal did not succeed; instead, he was ambushed by Fang Senyan, who executed a tactical toss, hurling him toward the dying Mammoth Beast.

Consequently, Aldaris was drenched entirely in the pale green body fluid, turning into an incredibly unlucky, green sphere of light...

After rescuing Aldaris, they naturally didn't stop, continuing to follow another group of pursuers, and soon encountered the Hero Dragoon, Dozhego, who sported two extra legs.

It turned out that seeing the pursuing forces split up, this fellow had been relying on his speed advantage to fire a shot and then flee again, attempting to "kite" the pursuers to death in circles.

Dozhego had essentially been running circles across the plain the entire time.

He decided that as long as the Zerg didn't reinforce, he would slowly wear down the pursuers, finding the exercise quite enjoyable...

Despite his prolonged kiting, he had only managed to kill two Zerglings.

Fang Senyan joining the fight and immediately taking the vanguard gave the long-suffering Dozhego the opportunity to finally unleash his firepower to his heart's content.

The process during this fight goes without saying.

However, after the battle concluded, Dozhego, feeling exuberant, actually managed to fire two shots at Fang Senyan before quickly performing the Dragoon's signature 'eight-figure dance' to apologize.

After a brief exchange of words, Fang Senyan had already demonstrated his sincerity through action.

Therefore, Dozhego, as a Hero unit, was authorized to propose an alliance to Fang Senyan.

An agreement was reached: a phantom Protoss symbol would occasionally shimmer over Fang Senyan's body, signifying that he was an ally.

By this time, Fang Senyan and his group had assembled a small contingent.

Besides the three of them and Ramtas, there were three surviving Dragoons, two Zealots, and one High Templar.

This Psi-Storm specialist was clever; he had deliberately preserved his psionic energy, casting two of his illusion skills consecutively on himself during the most critical moments, allowing him to escape certain death under the cover of the phantoms.

Hmm, my debt should be settled now.

Today I updated with 6 chapters: 2 were to pay off yesterday’s debt, 2 were bonus chapters for recommendation tickets, and 2 are my standard current update volume.

I shouldn't owe anything anymore.

(Your support is my greatest motivation.) RV
