Chapter 675: A Unique Evolutionary Path
This wasn't their first battle in space. During their conquest of other planets, they had fought numerous enemies in space.
Space combat was entirely different from surface warfare on planets. Here, energy was of utmost importance, and not a single bit of it could be wasted.
During battle, there was no time to absorb Energy Crystals for recovery. A single oversight could lead to defeat.
The Dark God was undeniably powerful, a fact that the Super Soldiers couldn't deny.
Despite nearly an hour of continuous attacks from them, the Dark God showed no signs of losing. Among them, Ju Ling had the best record. Taking advantage of a momentary lapse on the Dark God's part, Ju Ling's bullets pierced through its head.
However, in just a few minutes, what would be considered a fatal wound to most was completely healed.
Outside the battle, Alice continued to analyze various aspects of the Dark God.
In another base, Alice's virtual image had data streams constantly rushing through her eyes as she spoke, "After a brief analysis, I've discovered three characteristics of the Dark God. First, it possesses strong regenerative abilities. Unless it's completely destroyed in a single strike, its recovery rate will quickly heal any wounds."
"Second, the Dark God's aura is highly tempting. Most Small Galaxy-level Powerhouses can't endure it for long."
"Third, the Dark God enjoys enticing people to believe in it, even if they reject it."The third characteristic wasn't something Alice had casually mentioned; it was a real occurrence.
While they were in the midst of the battle, the Dark God still hadn't given up on tempting the Super Soldiers to believe in it, leaving everyone speechless. Was this Dark God mentally unstable?
The three characteristics weren't the focus; the focus was that Alice had found a weakness.
"The Dark God's weakness lies in its mouths; it has a total of 98 mouths. After one of Yun Ru's attacks shattered one of its mouths, the Dark God's recovery ability decreased by one percent."
With this conclusion, the Super Soldiers immediately changed their strategy, directing all their attacks towards the mouths covering the Dark God's body.
This action seemed to anger the Dark God. It let out a roar, and its body suddenly expanded. In the previous moment, it was the size of Regular Humans; the next moment, it had become a colossal creature several kilometers tall.
The Dark God's aura once again spread, but this time, their Domains couldn't dispel it completely. They could only ensure there was no aura within a hundred meters of them.
To the massive Dark God, this one-hundred-meter range was simply too small, and they couldn't even see its entire body.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, a roar sounded, and it was Boris's voice.
"Boris, what's happening?" Ju Ling asked anxiously.
"Just now, I felt... my Clone... died!" Boris's voice was heavy.
Among all the Super Soldiers, only he had a Clone. Although his Clone was less intelligent than him, Boris had always treated it like a brother. They went on missions together every time, and their bond was the strongest.
But just now, he lost his connection to his Clone, and there was only one possibility: his Clone had died.
Ju Ling's face darkened. This was the first Super Soldiers death, even if it was just a Clone, it was still their comrade, and it had died just like that.
In this situation, continuing the fight would only result in meaningless sacrifices.
"Retreat!"
Ju Ling reluctantly issued the order. If they didn't leave now, all the Super Soldiers might be stuck here.
They wanted to retreat, but would the Dark God allow them to leave?
With the Dark God's power, if it really went all out, Ju Ling and the others might not be able to hold out for long. The reason it hadn't gone all out was mainly to make these people believe in it.
Only when others believed in it sincerely could they truly be considered believers. Forcing belief was not true belief, and the Dark God knew this well.
"Humanity, don't you desire immortality?"
The Dark God still hadn't given up on enticing them. In its eyes, these people, once they believed in it, would bring it many benefits.
To the Dark God, quantity was important, but quality was even more so. Clearly, the humans before it were high-quality candidates for believers.
Ju Ling and the others tried to leave but failed. All around them was the dense purplish-black aura, and they were unable to escape.
If it weren't for the ability granted by Commander to communicate directly, they probably wouldn't even be able to communicate with each other.
"Dark God, we are not interested in immortality. This encounter with the Dark God is merely an accident," Ju Ling hoped to make the Dark God relent through words so they could leave. Of course, if they really couldn't escape, she could have Alice use the Hyperspace Teleportation Device.
If even the Hyperspace Teleportation Device failed, then they would have to use that.
Thinking of this, Ju Ling finally had some confidence in her heart.
The Dark God lowered its head and gazed at Ju Ling. Its voice seemed to come from a distant place. "This is not an accident; it is I who have guided you. You will become my believers."
Even Ju Ling couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye. Was this Dark God too self-absorbed? They were clearly acting on Commander's orders; what did they have to do with you?
Of course, she couldn't say that. If she angered the Dark God now, it wouldn't be good.
In the shadows, the Super Soldiers were discussing how to escape.
Not knowing whether it was because it was tired of continuing this conversation, the Dark God suddenly reached out with one hand towards them.
With the Dark God's current size, its hand was like a mountain to Ju Ling and the others.
"Counterattack!"
Ju Ling shouted, but the next moment, she was horrified to find that her body couldn't move!
Dark God's large hand gradually covered them until it enveloped everyone.
In that instant, on Earth, Su Chen received a notification from the System: "Congratulations, Master, a Super Soldier has successfully triggered a special evolutionary path, resulting in a significant increase in strength."
Su Chen was puzzled. What was this special evolutionary path? If he remembered correctly, the evolutionary paths were typically either land-based, ocean-based, or sky-based, with nothing else...
No, there was something else??? This thing! (To be continued)
