Chapter 275: Massacre
Brightman brought more than twenty guards, each of whom was one of the best in Dennis's enhanced human army.
The three Sitars, now in their original forms, slaughtered everyone in their Zerg forms, their attacks even more ferocious than in their humanoid forms. Anno's vision blurred, and he could no longer see them.
The Blood Gold Stone was contained in a container and floated around Anno and Mingxiao.
As Brightman saw Sitar and his men attack immediately, he fought back while glancing at Anno.
Dennis growled at Brightman with exasperation, "Brightman, you'll soon own the entire galaxy! She will be yours too. Even if you give them the Bloodstone and me, you still won't get her!"
Brightman said softly, "I know."
So, he wanted to take her away.
They went to a place where no one could find them.
Brightman had the twenty-odd guards hold off Sitar and his men. Although these enhanced humans were not as strong as them, their nanotech armor was sturdy enough to withstand their onslaught for the time being.
No one can use their powers now, and Sitar and the others have no way of knowing what Brightman and Dennis are thinking at this moment.
Seeing an opportunity, Brightman activated the machine he had placed nearby. Countless miniature attack robots fired shells at Sitar and his group. The rocks around them were shattered and scattered by the shells, and the dense attack made them freeze in place.
Brightman took the opportunity to run towards Anno.
When Mingxiao saw Brightman running towards him, he held Anno with a solemn expression, and several pairs of sharp limbs appeared behind him, attacking Brightman.
Brightman drew his sword and lunged at Mingxiao, but Mingxiao moved swiftly, and even while holding Anuo, he was not hindered at all, and he was able to handle Brightman's attack with ease.
However, he felt that the energy that was repelling them surged in from somewhere, like a raging wave crashing towards him, and his movements slowed down due to the pressure of this energy.
Brightman spotted his weakness and slashed at Anno in his arms with his knife. It was just a feint, but Mingxiao took it seriously and quickly spun around, using his back to block the attack.
Brightman was covered in a special mecha that allowed him to manipulate the planet's energy. His strike, imbued with that energy, landed on Mingxiao's back.
Anno heard Mingxiao grunt; a crack had appeared in his outer armor.
"Mingxiao!" Sensing Mingxiao's condition, Anuo gritted his teeth and mustered his strength, mobilizing the energy in his body to cover Mingxiao and the other three.
They can't use their powers, but Anno's energy can still restore them.
Mingxiao's cracked outer armor healed rapidly. Just as Mingxiao remained vigilant, he discovered that Brightman had already snatched the Blood Gold Stone and cleaved open the instrument that was encasing it.
Sitar and the others broke through the suppression and realized something was wrong.
They couldn't just grab it directly now, as Sitar's blade was hovering over the Bloodstone, which contained Anno's largest core fragment. They couldn't act rashly.
Seeing that they had all stopped, Brightman could finally have a proper talk with Aloo.
He said, “Anunu, I’ll give you the Bloodstone, and I’ll give you Dennis too. Come to my side.”
Mingxiao hugged Anuo tightly and shouted at him, "You're dreaming! I will never hand His Highness over to you!"
Sitar and Caesar stared intently at Brightman, now more worried about what Brightman might do to Anno.
At that moment, Dennis glanced at the several Zerg present and then fixed his gaze on Anno.
It's a pity. He wanted to keep the two little queen beetles, but with Aloo around, Brightman would keep rebelling against him because of her.
She even used him as a bargaining chip to win her favor.
His only disappointment was that he felt Brightman's vision was too narrow. If Brightman had killed him for power, he wouldn't have felt any shock or sadness, but Brightman killed him for a mere queen insect.
Since that's the case, let's just make him a completely emotionless machine.
Without Aloo, Brightman would have no emotions left.
"Aloo, come to me. I'll give you whatever you want."
Brightman spoke to Anno again, this time with a more urgent tone and his dark eyes appearing even more profound.
Aloo was right when he said that even though Dennis has temporarily taken control of the entire interstellar space, how long can he hold power with his current strength?
Even if he could rule the entire interstellar space, Aloo didn't like it; there were always people around her who cared about her.
He was tired of being a puppet, a machine that kept repeating the same thing over and over again.
Right now, all he wants is to go with Aloo to a place where no one can find them.
Only them.
He will make Aloo forget these people, and he will give her his memories.
Anno stepped out of Mingxiao's arms, looked at the guards surrounding them, and said to Brightman, "Have your men step back and take out the core fragment from the Blood Gold Stone for me."
Brightman: "Okay."
He placed his hand on the Bloodstone, and his wrist, which was covered by the mech, emitted rings of red light, indicating that he was unlocking the Bloodstone.
This piece of blood gold stone contains the energy of an abandoned planet and is connected to the energy of this mineral planet. It is extremely complex, and extracting the core will not be easy.
Sitar watched as the guards retreated slightly, then sent a signal to Caesar and the others in the consciousness network, and silently approached Anno little by little.
Once Brightman retrieved the core fragment, they killed him!
Dennis, hidden among the guards, had a darkening gaze, but his eyes held an uncontrollable madness.
Everything that gets in his way must disappear!
He tapped his wrist a few times to activate the personal terminal, paused for two seconds on the constantly pulsating start button, and then pressed it.
Just as Brightman had only a few seconds left to unlock the Bloodstone and take out the core fragment.
Suddenly, the ground around them began to shake violently; it wasn't just the ground beneath their feet, but the entire planet seemed to be shaking!
Anno looked down and saw that the ground had cracked open in several places. In the distance, the mountains were collapsing and the ground was rapidly sinking. A huge gravitational force was pulling them into the black hole below!
Brightman suddenly looked at Dennis.
Dennis smiled, but his eyes flashed coldly. "Bryman, my dear nephew, you don't think I haven't prepared anything, do you?"
"This place was originally prepared for the Zerg. I thought it would at least trap Sevier and some of her high-ranking followers, but I didn't expect the little queens to find us so quickly. But it's not a bad deal, we managed to take down two little queens."
In the blink of an eye, the twenty-odd guards around him were sucked into the ground that revealed a huge hole. Explosions were everywhere, and the entire planet was exploding and collapsing. No one could escape such a powerful destruction.
A special machine surrounded Dennis, opening a portal for him. Dennis tried to take Brightman away, but Brightman kicked him away.
Brightman flew toward Anno, as she and Sitar tried their best to fly upwards to avoid the gravitational pull from below.
Sitar and the others still couldn't use their powers, and Brightman used his energy to knock away the people surrounding Anno.
Anno was with the Blood Gold Stone, and she insisted on taking it with her. If she couldn't take it with her, she would have to destroy it!
As the portal behind him was about to disappear, Dennis controlled the robots, trying to bring Brightman over.
However, these machines have gone out of control due to the disordered magnetic field and are attacking indiscriminately, launching a frenzied attack on any living thing they detect.
Dennis deployed tens of thousands of attack robots here, and at the moment the planet collapsed and began its exploration, they all flew out from their hiding places, densely covering the entire sky.
At this moment, Anno was targeted by countless red lights. Mingxiao pulled Anno away and flew to another place, but the attack had already landed. The Blood Gold Stone, which had been partially unlocked by Brightman, had become much more brittle. Originally, the Blood Gold Stone would repel the energy of this planet if it lost its magnetic field protection.
Under the intense barrage of artillery fire, Anno watched helplessly as the Bloodstone shattered into countless fragments, and the glowing core fragment was also broken into several pieces at that moment.
