Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Berserker Chu Ze, Defeating the Swarm King in One Chapter! (2-in-1 Chapter)
Chu Ze wasn't intentionally ignoring Herta.
Because at this moment, he was indeed not paying attention to his phone.
Shortly after he posted on his social media, Xiao Yi's virtual image's voice sounded:
[Reminder: The Cosmic Superman has broken through the heavy disaster zone and has officially entered the core propagation zone.]
[The situation in the core zone is extremely complex. It may not be possible to break through the Swarm sea with conventional weapons alone. It is recommended to activate the star-destroying series weapons.]
The starlight outside the window disappeared again.
In its place was an extremely oppressive darkness that far surpassed the previous heavy disaster zone.
Countless bugs formed an interstellar sea, devouring all light. Even a planet rich in the aura of a Path would immediately be reduced to dregs and wasteland if caught in this massive Swarm sea.
Even looking out the huge floor-to-ceiling window, one could see many elite variations of true Swarms!
Some bugs had tens of thousands of eyes, some could pierce through meteorites with just their mouthparts; others were as large as super-large transport ships, making even the Cosmic Superman seem small.
Seeing the tide of the Swarm sea about to crash down, Chu Ze made a decisive command:
"Activate the star-destroying series weapons, set the output mode to full firepower."
"Unleash all the energy we've accumulated along the way!"
[Command received. All ship-borne weapons have been adjusted to full firepower mode.]
The short-haired Xiao Yi turned slightly, her calm eyes looking at the Swarm sea outside the window:
[The Helios Main Cannon and Asura Sub-Cannon have all been enabled. This is a mobile ship-borne star-destroying series weapon built with the cutting-edge technology of the current generation. Except for overlord-class and above true Swarms, no bug can survive in its barrage.]
[After estimation, the threat level of the Swarm sea has been reduced from 17% to 0.01%.]
[Now opening champagne for the master and playing a little victory tune...]
A drone brought over three glasses of champagne.
Chu Ze held up his wine glass and swirled it elegantly: "Cheers."
Robin facepalmed with some helplessness: "Is this the legendary half-time champagne opening?"
Chu Ze smiled confidently: "No, this is a reverse flag. The moment you said that sentence, this action was no longer dangerous."
He swirled his wine glass and looked at Argenti standing by the floor-to-ceiling window:
"Argenti, would you like a glass?"
Argenti didn't turn his head, his eyes looking out the window flashing with a look of confusion:
"You two, please look in that direction."
"There seems to be a battle breaking out there, and someone is trapped in the center of the Swarm sea."
Hmm?
There are still experts??
Chu Ze put down his wine glass and went to the floor-to-ceiling window with Robin.
Outside the shield, amidst the writhing of strange-shaped bugs, one could indeed see explosion effects different from the starship's weapons.
Looking into the distance through the few small gaps, a figure like an interstellar cowboy was nimbly maneuvering.
He held dual pistols, his body spinning rapidly like a large top. And the bullets he shot were not simple either. Upon hitting a bug, they would immediately cause a huge explosion, blasting a large area of nearby bugs into pieces.
"Holy crap, the Star Rail Yan Shuangying!"
Chu Ze immediately exclaimed.
Robin couldn't help but remind him: "Don't give nicknames to people you haven't even met yet."
Chu Ze nodded: "Okay, Ms. Big Bird Spins and Spins."
Robin: "Σ(  ̄д ̄|||)"
And Argenti continued to watch the maneuvering figure.
This was the core propagation zone after all, and that person had no starship protection, relying purely on his physical body to withstand it.
It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he would be forced to retreat, or become food for the bugs.
Thinking of this, Argenti took the initiative to take out his spear:
"To act righteously for a just cause, this is the doctrine of the Knights of Beauty."
"Mr. Chu Ze, could you let me out of the cabin and allow me to go and help?"
He wasn't morally blackmailing or being generous at others' expense, but proposing to rescue alone.
Perhaps it was this kind of character that made the name of the Knights of Beauty truly famous.
Chu Ze waved his hand: "I'll go too. After all, I'm not afraid of bugs."
"Ms. Little Bird, you just sit tight. We'll be right back!"
"...Then you be careful."
Robin also knew that she, who was not good at combat, was not suitable for a rescue mission that required high mobility.
So she didn't try to be a hero and just stayed in the cabin.
Under Xiao Yi's operation, Chu Ze and Argenti were directly launched, flying towards the person surrounded by the Swarm sea.
Just as they were about to pass through the energy shield, Argenti once again showed a look of admiration:
"Faced with a trapped person, you resolutely choose to go and provide support. What a noble spirit."
"Please allow me to sigh with emotion again, Chu Ze. To meet you in the Swarm sea is truly a rare fate."
Chu Ze grinned and took out his transformation device:
"Let's save the praise for after we've rescued that person."
"Let's go, Argenti!"
Passing through the barrier, the mecha attached to his body!
The swarm of bugs shrieked, flames erupted!
Chu Ze punched out with both fists, the black and gold mecha once again transforming into a bug-slaying god.
Any bug that came within three meters of him was either smashed into minced meat by the sky-full of fist shadows, or burned to ashes by the rising flames!
Argenti also danced with his spear, a flurry of afterimages.
His arms were already moving so fast that they were just a blur. The power of Beauty, accompanied by the sharp glint of his spear, seemed to form a ball of light around him. And any bug that touched this ball of light was, of course, also shattered to pieces.
It didn't take long for them to arrive, one after the other, at the side of the trapped person.
"My goodness, there are still living people in this godforsaken place?"
The trapped person obviously also noticed Chu Ze and Argenti.
He adjusted his hat and immediately joined up with Chu Ze and Argenti:
"Thanks, bros, you really helped a lot."
"My starship was eaten by these little darlings, not even the frame is left."
"My goodness, if you guys hadn't come, I really wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have had to retreat!"
The mecha crashed, the cannons roared.
The swarm of bugs attacked, explosions followed one after another.
This was obviously not a good place to talk, so Chu Ze lifted this mechanical cowboy onto his shoulder, and the thrusters also drastically changed direction:
"Let's go!"
The mechanical cowboy didn't resist, just slightly adjusted his body and raised his dual pistols again at the bugs behind him:
"Woohoo~ exciting!"
"Little darlings, line up to eat some cake!"
The golden mecha's tail flame streaked through the swarm of bugs, setting off a series of explosion effects.
The pure brilliance of Beauty rode a gorgeous long spear, protecting Chu Ze who was carrying the person.
The three figures thus made a round trip through the dense swarm of bugs, and under the cover of Xiao Yi's heavy firepower, returned to the starship deck.
It wasn't until Chu Ze put the cowboy down and解除 (jiechu - released) his mecha that the cowboy put away his dual pistols and looked around with a look of amazement:
"Yoho, such a luxurious starship, and such powerful weapon configuration?"
"Not bad, bro. Just for your heroism in lending a hand, you really deserve to be rich!"
With that, he flicked his hat with his finger:
"My name is Boothill, a passing Galaxy Ranger."
"Because I was tracking an enemy from the Corporation, I followed him all the way here, and then I shot him dead with one shot."
"But after helping him find release, I myself got trapped in the swarm... My goodness, I didn't expect such an unknown little star system to have such a massive swarm disaster..."
Argenti put away his spear and placed a hand on his chest:
"To act righteously for a just cause is the doctrine of the Knights of Beauty. There is no need to thank me."
"But my companion, Mr. Chu Ze, although not a knight, has a noble character that is no less than that of a knight. He is the one who should be praised."
"...Oh?"
Looking at Chu Ze who had put away his transformation device, especially the Xianzhou-style clothes on Chu Ze, Boothill's eyes flickered slightly:
"Bro, are you by any chance a Xianzhou native?"
Chu Ze gave a thumbs-up:
"That's right! And a high-ranking civil servant of the Luofu Xianzhou, a genuine old Xianzhou native, that's what you call authentic!"
Boothill immediately showed a friendly smile:
"Aiyo, what a coincidence!"
"We're both brothers of the Hunt faction, and we met at the same time in this darling Swarm Disaster. This is really... what's that saying again?"
Argenti reminded him from the side:
"Is this a fated encounter?"
"Right! That's what it means!"
Boothill extended his mechanical hand towards Chu Ze.
Chu Ze didn't hesitate and gave him a high-five with a slap.
The Galaxy Rangers and the Xianzhou Alliance have always had a good relationship.
In addition, Chu Ze and Argenti had acted righteously and lent a helping hand.
Therefore, Boothill also relaxed his guard a little and started talking with the two about his previous experiences and the reason for his unique way of speaking.
On the contrary, Robin, who poked her head out of the cabin, couldn't help but sigh again as she watched the three men quickly become chummy.
It seems... another guy who's on the same wavelength as Chu Ze has arrived?
This team to defeat the Swarm King seems to be getting more and more lively.
...
...
But this time, there wasn't much time left for them to chat.
Perhaps it was because the Cosmic Superman was too conspicuous, or perhaps it was because they had killed too many bugs along the way, the culprit of this disaster, that is, the true Swarm King, suddenly launched an active attack.
Its figure quickly approached, seeming to want to capsize this obstructive starship in one go.
Robin immediately sensed it.
She directly opened the cabin door and issued a reminder with a serious expression:
"Chu Ze, the Swarm King is actively approaching. According to time estimates, it will soon collide with us."
"...Whoa?"
The newcomer, Boothill, looked at this suddenly appearing little bird, and then at the owner of the starship, Chu Ze.
There's wine, there's food...
There are brothers to play board games with, and beauties to fall into his arms...
Hiss, this bro really knows how to enjoy life.
As brothers of the same Hunt faction, the gap is a bit too big!
Of course, he wasn't jealous. After all, this was a true bro from the Xianzhou, not some superficial friend who could stab you in the back at any time.
And Chu Ze showed no fear at all:
"Good that it's coming. I was afraid it would fear battle and turn and run."
"Bobo, what do you say? Want to come and fight some bugs together?"
Boothill grinned:
"Of course. My goodness, to force me into such a pathetic state."
"If I don't treat them to a few little cakes, I won't even be able to sleep well for my afternoon nap."
"Very good, then let's fight side by side!"
Chu Ze clenched his fist and took a step forward:
"Let this swarm of little flying bugs see how amazing our Star Rail Bug-Fighting Team is!"
—Chu Ze, majoring in the Path of Destruction, his abilities are immense strength and summoning a mecha!
—Robin, majoring in the Path of Harmony, her abilities are battlefield support and group BUFFs!
—Argenti, majoring in the Path of Beauty, his ability is outstanding crowd control talent!
—Boothill, majoring in the Path of The Hunt, his ability is long-range shooting output!
The four stood in a row, their expressions determined.
Facing the seemingly endless swarm of bugs, and the faintly approaching pressure of the Swarm King, they stepped forward without fear:
"Let's go!"
...
...
True Swarm King.
This is the overlord of the true Swarm race.
Even without considering the massive swarm that could destroy a star system, its individual strength alone was at a star-bursting level.
Such a disaster, ordinary people would probably not even have a chance to escape.
But Chu Ze and his group, piloting a starship, advanced instead of retreating, heading towards that huge figure!
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
Chu Ze gathered his qi and let out a roar,率先 (shuai xian - taking the lead) blowing the horn of attack.
The power of his Path erupted fiercely, the sound wave carrying a monstrous might, fiercely attracting the attention of the Swarm King!
Looking at that mountain-like huge figure, he showed no fear at all.
The mecha attached to his body, the thrusters erupted.
He directly rushed out of the shield and fiercely threw out his fist!
Pow!!
A punch landed!
The outer shell dented!
The Swarm King was immediately enraged, its hatred for Chu Ze directly maxed out!
...And then it was hit by another punch.
After all, Chu Ze had been prepared. He could even break through the pressure of the Aeon Nanook, how could a mere Swarm King stop his steps?
Effortlessly breaking free from the restraint, he flew sideways, spun in the air, and his fists continued to rain down on the Swarm King's outer shell like a storm!
"Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda—"
"Muda!!!!"
Clang!
Clang!!
Clang!!!
The sound of earth-shattering blows echoed one after another.
This sound was sometimes as fine as a spring rain, sometimes as violent as a muffled thunder. Sometimes a fast attack to break through, sometimes a charged attack to deal true damage.
If it were a few years ago, perhaps the Swarm King would still have a fighting chance.
But unfortunately, what it was facing was the enhanced version of Chu Ze, who had fused with a Stellaron and was attached to a mecha, and had already been completely transformed!
Whether it was speed or strength, it was no longer Chu Ze's opponent, and it was even less likely to fight to a mutual destruction like before.
From the very beginning, it was the hunted prey!
Thump!
Thump!!
Thump!!!
As if the giant hammer of the Amber Lord was constantly striking, Chu Ze gathered all his strength, his face behind the mecha's faceplate full of excitement.
He could truly feel his own progress.
Whether it was his constitution, or his strength, or his fighting skills...
He could be said to have been completely transformed, with extraordinary progress!
As expected, the training during this period was useful. He hadn't been doing useless work!
Pow!
Pow!!
Pow!!!
Fierce blows, sharp attacks.
The Swarm King's resistance was getting weaker and weaker, and even its flight path was becoming unstable.
Seeing this, Chu Ze even gave up moving and began to stand still and output damage.
Using almost all his strength, he completely treated the Swarm King as a one-time punching bag,肆意地 (si yi di - wantonly) unleashing his own power of Destruction!
"The final blow, the secret technique passed down by the old soldier of Glamoth—"
Flames enveloped his fists.
Chu Ze leaped high, and then fiercely smashed down on the Swarm King's head:
"I will, ignite the sea of stars!!!"
BOOM——————!!!
The fist fell.
The pillar of fire rose!
The Swarm King shrieked.
It stopped struggling!
Chu Ze successfully achieved his goal, defeating the true Swarm King single-handedly!
And the source of the disaster that had swept through the Hryv-2 system, this true Swarm King with a certified star-bursting level of strength, was thus declared fallen!
"Easily done."
Chu Ze let out a breath and turned his head to look at his teammates behind him, wanting to see if they needed any help.
But what he saw was their somewhat dazed expressions, and their astonished gazes as if they were looking at a monster...
