Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Race Against Time (Part1)

At the cold and dark edge of the Kuiper Belt, violent gravitational turbulence is like an invisible giant hand, tearing, spinning, and colliding countless icy meteorites.

A figure was like a star swimming upstream, moving freely through it, so fast that it left a trail of afterimages.

Mark Grayson is suspended in the core of a massive icy meteorite.

He closed his eyes, his naked upper body exposed to the deep space close to absolute zero and the violent cosmic rays.

The blood flowing under the skin seemed to come alive, greedily absorbing the high-intensity cosmic radiation in this chaotic star field, which far exceeded the Earth's orbit.

Every breath seems to drive billions of cells in the body to undergo a violent nuclear fusion!

The muscle fibers are constantly torn and reorganized in the radiation, becoming denser and tougher, and containing terrifying power enough to shake an asteroid.

His bones seemed to be repeatedly forged from stellar core materials, their density and strength increased exponentially, his nerve reaction speed exceeded the limit, and the meteorite fragments flying around at high speed seemed to him like a slow-motion movie.

Suddenly, Mark felt his eyes itchy and opened them abruptly. His golden-red pupils were like two ignited miniature suns, and the blazing light instantly illuminated the swirling ice dust around him!

Buzz——!

Two rays that were condensed to the extreme, like liquid gold, shot out from his eyes without any warning!

There is no energy dissipation, only extremely pure and highly concentrated heat energy!

Wherever the light reached, a piece of hard meteorite in front of it, as big as a football field, was silently melted and cut like butter meeting a red-hot knife!

Red molten metal flowed from the fracture, quickly cooling and turning black in the vacuum.

Immediately afterwards, Mark took a deep breath, and his chest expanded like a black hole. The surrounding cosmic dust and thin particles were forcibly sucked and condensed!

Then, he suddenly spewed out towards the front, where an ion storm area was extremely active due to gravitational turbulence!

call--!!!

It was not a flame, but a breath containing the extreme coldness of absolute zero, like a liquid diamond star!

The extremely cold airflow instantly froze the violent ion flow, forming a huge, ever-expanding ice crystal nebula!

The high-speed moving particles were forcibly frozen and stagnated, and the gravitational turbulence in that area was briefly solidified for a few seconds!

strength!

Unprecedented power surges in the body!

Mark slowly clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying power brought by the muscle bundles contracting and expanding like a supernova explosion.

His body, tempered by cosmic radiation and the sun, has enough pure strength to tear apart warships, enough speed to make short distance raids between stars, and enough defense to withstand the bombardment of secondary guns of battleships!

The newly developed heat vision and freezing breath provide a means of destruction and control at medium and long distances!

However, the joy of this power was instantly washed away by the heavy responsibility.

Super perception is like an invisible radar network sweeping across the inner circle of the solar system.

The main force of Angrum's Exterminator Fleet, like a school of sharks smelling blood, has broken through the orbit of Jupiter and is rushing towards the Earth at full speed!

The hideous ship shadow drew a trail of death in the starry sky!

"Time is up."

Mark's voice echoed silently in the vacuum, but with a steely determination.

He bent his body slightly, and his leg muscles compressed instantly like a super spring filled with energy!

boom.

The huge meteorite core under your feet silently turned into cosmic dust!

Mark's figure turned into a stream of light that tore through the starry sky, and at a speed far exceeding his previous speed, he shot towards the precarious blue planet without hesitation!

Behind him, only the cut meteorite and frozen nebula remained, silently telling the birth of a new god.

Ark Base, Command Center.

The atmosphere was oppressive, like the silence before a storm.

A huge countdown projection flashed scarlet on the central light screen.

[03:47:22]

"Weak point reinforcement progress 97.3%! Final stage!"

The robot's electronic voice carried a rare urgency. Its engineering mechas and countless drones were working frantically around the huge ring-shaped device in low-Earth orbit.

The light blue force field struggled to bridge the final crack.

"Angrum Fleet Vanguard has entered Mars orbit! Estimated contact time: 1 hour and 52 minutes!"

An officer reported in a hoarse voice.

"At the abnormal ground coordinates... the energy readings are surging! Geological activity is intensifying!"

"GDA detection station reports... an unknown giant life form's energy response is awakening! I repeat, a life form response!"

Another monitor's voice was filled with fear.

On the holographic star map, the red dot inside the earth that marked the abnormality was beating violently like a heart, emitting an ominous dark purple light!

"Damn it! It never rains but it pours!"

Black Rhino Samson paced back and forth anxiously, his heavy armor making a thumping sound on the metal floor.

"What the hell is that thing?! Robot, have you figured it out?!"

"Database comparison... failed. Energy signature does not match any known species in the galaxy."

"But its structural pattern... has strong parasitic and devouring properties. Preliminary assessment: it's some kind of... ancient cosmic parasite, absorbing energy from the Earth's core and rapidly recovering!"

The robot's cold voice was solemn.

"Based on its energy expansion rate... the estimated time of its complete awakening will coincide with the arrival of the Angrum fleet..."
