Lorna supported the barely standing Kyle, looking at Captain Reno's grotesque face and the alien guards surrounding them with laser guns. She couldn't help but express her disgust. "I thought the Galactic Union was a high-tech civilization area. I never thought it would be a hundred times darker and dirtier than our underground world on Earth."
"Do you even understand anything, human miss?" Reno chuckled, looking down at the Kryon Stone in his hand with a hint of obsession and fanaticism in his eyes. He chuckled, "No matter what alien race when technological civilization develops to its peak, the ultimate pursuit is resources! Resources are essential for life! Some races, in pursuit of resources, would even abandon their homelands and venture into dangerous outer space. And some life forms would launch Interstellar wars covering dozens of light-years for a resource-rich planet!"
"The Galactic Union is indeed the largest and most prosperous civilization system, but because of this, our demand for resources has reached an exaggerated level!"
Reno put away the Kryon Stone without any sense of guilt, and said matter-of-factly, "And we are Interstellar hunters, plundering resources in outer space is just a normal thing for us."
Behind the magnificent scene of civilization lies an extremely bloody and lawless darkness!
This is the current situation of the Galactic Union. The closer it gets to the end of civilization, the more the laws tend to lean towards the primitive era.
Lorna fell into silence for a moment, completely shattering her expectations of the Galactic Union, the advanced technological civilization, and the peaceful coexistence with alien races.
"At the end of development and evolution, it's no longer about beauty and peace, but about severe resource shortages. This is extremely ironic," Kyle muttered to himself, shaking his head.
Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind.
Thanos.
"Alright, that's enough talk from you. Guards, seize them both!" Reno waved his hand, and several alien guards immediately approached, holding out advanced versions of shackles, ready to bind the paralyzed Kyle and the weak Lorna.
"Bang, Boom, Boom!"
At that moment, from outside the reception room, behind the heavy steel door, faint but powerful explosions could be heard! Even the floor of the Interstellar Spaceship began to show signs of vibration!
"What's going on?" Reno's face changed slightly, clearly indicating that there was a firefight outside.
Kyle, on the other hand, smiled. "Captain, you don't think that my bodyguard was so easily taken down by your men, do you?"
Lorna also smiled. These arrogant aliens had no idea about the Iron Man armor, created by Tony, the acknowledged genius engineer from Earth.
"You aliens, damn it! No need to capture them, just shoot them directly!" Reno quickly stepped back a few steps, giving a stern order.
Twenty or so alien guards raised their laser guns, quickly aimed, and pulled the trigger one after another. A hot, white laser beam formed a terrifying light rain, shooting from all directions towards Kyle and Lorna, covering them densely.
"Perfect timing."
Kyle suddenly pulled Lorna's arm, causing her to fall into his arms. He showed no signs of paralysis anymore, holding his fists tightly apart on either side.
"Whoosh!"
As if a switch inside him had been activated, for a moment, a brilliant energy surged out of him, forming a half-circular arc of energy shield around himself and Lorna.
The white laser rain fell on the energy shield, showing no signs of breaking through, but rather inexplicably disintegrating!
"How is this possible!"
Reno widened his eyes in horror, finding it difficult to understand how these primitive humans achieved such a feat.
The attacks from the alien guards continued relentlessly, with laser beams one wave after another, continuously bombarding the surface of the energy shield.
Kyle held his breath, his fists trembling slightly. When he realized that the fused energy was still unstable and he couldn't maintain the defensive energy shield for too long, he simply loosened his fists, causing the excess fused energy to burst outward.
"Boom!"
The energy shield instantly collapsed, transforming into turbulent waves of light, crashing wildly in all directions.
Reno turned to flee, but before he could take a few steps, he felt a light shuttle crash into his back, sending him tumbling helplessly through the air like all the other alien guards, without any suspense.
A group of aliens crashed into the walls of the spaceship, their weapons scattering all over the ground, creating a somewhat spectacular and strangely amusing scene.
Kyle lowered his hands, the raging fused energy still swirling around his body, making him look like a Kryon player in a game with countless stacked buffs.
"Boss, you're really something else," Lorna, still lying on Kyle's chest, her heart racing and her mesmerizing eyes filled with a mix of bewilderment and disdain, said with slightly misunderstood words.
The combat effectiveness of the fused energy was also beyond Kyle's expectations. He looked at the alien guards writhing on the ground, clearly affected by the fused energy even through their protective suits.
Kyle finally understood why Tony didn't want to spar with him anymore.
"What are you still lying down for? Continue fighting!" Reno struggled to climb up from the corner, wiping away the green blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He drew a dark handle from his waist and pressed a button, immediately summoning a buzzing sword-shaped beam of light.
Many alien guards, upon hearing his words, helped each other up, either picking up their laser guns or drawing their other weapons, ready to face off against Kyle and Lorna.
"Quite resilient creatures," Kyle squinted slightly, realizing that even a human would probably have to lie in bed for a month or two after taking that hit.
After some thought, Kyle suddenly pulled out a Lifeform Card and gently tapped it on Lorna's back. "Venom, protect Lorna."
"Yes!"
Venom emerged from the card, reverting to its original black liquid form, quickly enveloping Lorna's back and spreading rapidly to cover her limbs and head, forming a dark and tough keratin membrane.
"I'm not that weak."
Lorna rolled her eyes, knowing that Kyle was looking out for her. After all, as powerful as her mutated ability was, the fragility of the human body was still a major weakness, and getting hit by a laser beam would probably result in instant death.
In no time, Lorna transformed into a tall, slender humanoid monster shrouded in darkness, in stark contrast to Kyle's colorful aura of fused energy. Both exuded a dangerously exaggerated and terrifying atmosphere.
"Let's go!"
Kyle and Lorna moved, two streaks of light, one colorful and one black, rushing violently towards the group of alien guards with expressions of fear on their faces, like wolves among sheep.
Reno, back against the wall, watched the one-sided battle unfold in panic, frantically activating his holographic communicator on his wrist. "Green, bring the guards to the reception room for backup!"
The communication was quickly established, and the screen displayed Green's pale face. He was being chased by a flying Iron Man, dodging laser cannon fire while shouting towards Reno, "Captain, I need backup over here too!"
