Chapter 354: Miracle" of Zero 332
It's even more... dangerous now!
The moment the blood rain burst forth, it wasn't just the stench of blood that hit the nose; there was also a bone-chilling cold that reached straight to the crown of the head.
Facing the danger stimulated the senses almost to the point of constricting the pupils of Bai E and Rose, who were the closest; the little yellow beings had more energy to supply other combat systems since they were no longer using their shield systems to fully block damage.
Moreover, when facing potentially higher kinetic outputs, the little yellow beings could freely allocate the strength of their shield resistance to ensure their repair speed was fast enough to keep up.
A more flexible combat strategy brought unparalleled combat capability.
They were the deadliest weapons of war, even a collection of human technology achievements from the Golden Age.
Even though the strong man possessed considerable self-healing abilities in Grey Iron City, facing such devastating injuries where his body was torn apart, it was clear he wouldn't survive.
The strong man, not falling short of a warrior's final glory in his warlike state, astonishingly used the last of his will with his only hand and foot, to cling onto the little yellow being's legs.

"Kill!" His last breath burst forth with an intense fighting spirit.
It was unknown whether it was due to an overload in the system from using too much energy to tear apart the strong man or if the grip of the strong man, now torn in two, had taken effect, but the little yellow being's body experienced a significant temporary rigidity.
The arrow was on the string, it had to be released.
The strong man's life for a chance, and the experienced fighters wouldn't miss it.
"Hoo~" Rose took a deliberate breath through her mouth and nose, the surging power pulsated in her fine yet resilient muscle fibers, and she launched a straight punch from her lower back with full force.
The invisible shield system briefly resisted for a moment, only to be scattered by the tremendous force.
One punch, solidly hitting the chest armor of the little yellow being.
"Crack!"
The sound of the alloy armor splitting and cracking echoed, such extraordinary force causing even the human technology alloy to admit defeat.
The gift of liberation wasn't solely Bai E's specialty.
Apart from the strange skill called "lucky strike," everything Bai E had mastered could be familiarized and mastered by any native through their own training and combat.
The difference was that the natives needed talent whereas Bai E, with the aid of his abilities panel, could control more effectively the acquisition and enhancement of all these abilities.
"Hoo~"
Rose withdrew her fist and swiftly retreated, feeling an empty loss in her body after throwing the punch; she knew this technique couldn't be used for long.
But for now...
"Swallow it." From a distance, Bai E's voice sounded, along with an object wrapped in silver foil thrown over.
Bar No. 3.
As Spiritual Energy filled him, Bai E gradually lost his extreme dependence on Bar No. 3 during combat.
But for Rose, who had not yet awakened her Spiritual Energy, this was the best replenishment for her combat strength.
Just like it had been for him previously.
"Mhm." Rose grabbed it, casually tore open the wrapper, and swallowed it in one bite.
Bar No. 3, made from an unknown substance, transformed into countless peculiar molecules the moment it reached the stomach, spreading a warm current throughout her body from her gut.
With a twist of her neck and a light "crack," Rose's eyes were full of fierce and soaring combat spirit.
Battle was right before her, Bai E was right behind her.
Could there be any moment more stirring in this world than the scene before them now?
With one hand, Rose ripped open the combat suit offering slight protection, only wearing a military green tank top as she extensively warmed up her limbs.
Her body yearned for the fiercest battle; this primal desire excited her beyond measure, yet she remained as calm as possible.
"Whoosh!" Powered by explosive strength in her legs, Rose caught up to the little yellow being, which was in pursuit of the gorilla, in a display of speed that belied her delayed start.
"Before you hurt my teammates, ask me first, scumbag!" Rose, leaping high, drove her knee into the face armor of the little yellow being, and the penetrating power of armor-breaking immediately sent a small piece of alloy flying, causing damage that turned out to be far greater than Bai E's rifle shot earlier.
"..."
"Goodness." Zero watched from not far away, her eyes almost bulging out, "Rose is that fierce?"
Considering that the little yellow being could take a hit from an Anti-Material Sniper Rifle, nobody had seen Rose incapacitate herself during their private sparring sessions within the team, had they?
"..." Bai E remained silent, but even he seemed a bit taken aback by Rose's performance.
He knew she was fierce, but he hadn't anticipated she'd be this fierce.
Rose, without the panel and even the cheat-like skill "lucky strike" that Bai E had, had come this far, perhaps even surpassing the Blood God of the past, purely on her own talent.
It seemed the Arbitration Place's high regard for someone like Rose, who was cut off from Spiritual Energy, was not misplaced.
The people of the Arbitration Place knew just how terrifying the enhancement of personal abilities through Spiritual Energy was; leaving aside the clever uses of Spiritual Energy itself, many of the skills Bai E now possessed also required the consumption of Spiritual Energy to support and perform.
If those cut off from Spiritual Energy truly could not utilize it or have a similar power, only relying on their basic attributes, how could they compete against high-end opponents?
