Colonial Suit

My attribute… what exactly is it?

Lying back in the cave against the wall, Xue Tong's blood-red eyes gazed dazedly at the sky.

Up there… a fierce wind was whipping up ice shards, creating white waves that resembled tsunamis. There were no clouds in the sky, yet sunlight shone on these ice shards, scattering rainbow-like iridescent halos. Further up, there was a gray-blue sky, with the shadows of planets reflected on the firmament, like gemstones.

What a beautiful planet…

For some reason, in this moment of tense battle, this thought suddenly welled up in Xue Tong's mind.

At this moment, he forgot the battle, and he forgot the enemy closing in step by step. His mind gradually scattered, and everything before him blurred…

In a daze, his spirit seemed to traverse this space, traverse time. He saw many strange scenes.

He saw himself fighting a meteor-class for the first time, Crowley's terrifying electromagnetic field.

He saw himself meeting Hensel for the first time, that magnificent, mountain-like back.

He saw Ling and Heng, the two seemingly cynical guides who brought him into the world of mercenaries.

He saw the Gemini siblings secretly saying they liked him behind his back.

He also saw… Planet X35…

He saw Little Sarah, saw Black Bear, saw Koby… and then saw… Li'er.

Unconsciously, his spirit returned to the No. 7 Ruins Shelter, that dirty, chaotic place. In its sewers, Xue Tong found a dilapidated little room. A worn-out wooden bed, simple furniture… and food contaminated with pollution.

Then Xue Tong's spirit blurred again, and he returned to his childhood. He saw himself struggling to survive, saw Li'er selling her body, yet feeding the food she earned bit by bit into his mouth. At that time, they had no home. Once, they were driven out of the sewers, and the two of them huddled together under the eaves of the shelter, shivering. He saw Li'er secretly taking off the only piece of clothing left on her body and putting it on him. He saw the purple bruises and frostbite on Li'er's body.

Then, Xue Tong could no longer see Li'er in his eyes. He became a little scavenger. That was before he met Li'er… He begged, rummaging through the shelter's garbage heaps, trying to find a little bit of food.

He saw himself being beaten, being cursed…

Finally, his spirit arrived at a dark corner of the sewer. He saw a dried-up skeleton, and next to the skeleton, an inconspicuous hexagonal box.

That was… the core unit!!

The vision gradually blurred, Xue Tong's spirit seemed to be drawn away by some force, making him unable to see the image clearly. Xue Tong desperately struggled, resisting this inexplicable force.

In his memory, everything before acquiring the colony unit was blank. He really wanted to know where he was before that. Who his parents were.

The inexplicable force was very powerful, easily suppressing Xue Tong's struggle. But just as he was about to be completely drawn away, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Will… is power!"

In the almost blurred sensation, this voice was like a guiding light. Xue Tong's spirit jolted, and his spirit suddenly condensed, and in an instant, he broke free from the shackles of the invisible force, and saw the next image.

He saw… a person.

A person wearing an incredibly gorgeous colony, with twelve tail wings on his back, an ugly man. He was fighting a group of enemies in the universe. The enemies were very strong, all wearing a kind of armament that Xue Tong had never seen before. That armament was actually composed of crystal clear crystals, and would emit terrible beams of light between gestures. Xue Tong personally saw one of the beams fall on a giant warship, and actually shot through the entire warship.

But the ugly man was even stronger. He shuttled among the enemies, using superb hand-to-hand combat skills to knock down his opponents. His movements were very fast, as fast as a flash of lightning shuttling through the void. His fighting skills were even more superb. Xue Tong personally saw him smash an enemy's armament with a set of combos, and even destroy dozens of giant warships along with it. But when Xue Tong wanted to see his movements clearly, he couldn't do it again.

Xue Tong only knew that this man was frighteningly powerful. His attack method was melee combat, but his gestures carried a mysterious power. This power allowed him to ignore the enemy's defense, and his attacks were like crushing dry weeds.

The battle quickly came to an end, but the result was beyond Xue Tong's expectation. The ugly man lost. Although his fighting skills were strong, those never-before-seen enemies had a wonderful ability to connect everyone's energy together, producing a combat effect far exceeding that of a single person. In the void, beams of light crisscrossed, and the man's colony was covered with scars, and even less than three of the twelve tail wings on his back were left.

At this moment, the ugly man launched an attack that shocked Xue Tong's heart. He stretched out his hands and grabbed a ball of black energy from the void, covering his whole body. The next moment, he launched a black beam with a diameter of tens of kilometers.

All the enemies, whether they were warriors wearing crystal armor or tens of thousands of giant warships in the rear, were wiped out in this beam of light. When the beam disappeared, even the void showed countless dark cracks, and the spatial structure almost collapsed.

The man stood quietly in the void, like an ancient demon god.

After a long time, he dragged his scarred body and flew away quickly.

Xue Tong's spirit always followed him, watching him fly and fight all the way. Countless enemies attacked him along the way, from the universe to the planet, from the ground to the sky. It seemed that the whole world had become his enemy, and he could not tolerate him even for a minute or a second. But this man always fought, never confused for a moment, and never escaped.

He fought in the universe, and the void was torn apart.

He fought on the earth, and the earth was shattered.

He fought in the ocean, and the ocean dried up.

He fought in the sky, and the sky trembled.

Without food, he tore at the flesh of the enemy, without water, he tasted the blood of the enemy.

Finally, this man came to a nearly abandoned planet and encountered an ambush by tens of thousands of crystal warriors.

This time he failed to win, although he was still unyielding and still unrestrained. But the combined force of nearly ten thousand crystal warriors was by no means something he could resist. Finally, in a large energy beam flow covering tens of millions of kilometers, he was riddled with holes. But he still said a sentence with a disdainful and contemptuous attitude. Only then did he fall like a meteor with the scars left by countless battles, a proud and unyielding will…

Xue Tong recognized that planet. Its name is X35…

And although he couldn't understand the man's last sentence, he didn't know why he understood its meaning.

"I… will never bow my head!"

His mind was shaken violently, and that powerful and inexplicable force appeared again. This time Xue Tong did not resist, and let it drain his spirit. A burst of violent dizziness struck, and Xue Tong found himself back in the arena.

Not far in front of him, Gaia had already stood still, looking at him with a look of interest.

"It seems that you have already given up." He said lightly, looking down at Xue Tong. His eyes were full of regret and disdain.

"Did I overestimate you? I didn't expect you to become like this in such a short time. Your spirit is scattered, and your body is relaxed. The current you can be killed even by ordinary people."

"You have disappointed me too much." Gaia shook his head. His tall and burly body bent slightly, looking at Xue Tong at close range.

In his eyes, Xue Tong at this moment was really useless. Even his spirit was defeated. This made Gaia very sorry. In fact, he wanted to stimulate Xue Tong, because only in this way could Xue Tong awaken the battle potential attribute and become an opponent who could compete with him.

Gaia is a person who advocates battle. In his eyes, battle has a sacred meaning. And an unqualified opponent is first of all an insult to battle.

But unfortunately, Xue Tong seemed to be more fragile than he thought, and he collapsed into this state after only a few encounters.

A trace of indifference flashed in Gaia's eyes. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Xue Tong from the cave. His figure was extremely burly, and he lifted Xue Tong into the air with only one hand. Looking at Xue Tong's dull eyes, Gaia's face twitched.

"It's over. It's my fault. I shouldn't have placed my hopes on a man like you who has no fighting spirit. In that case, you die."

Saying that, he exerted force with one hand and was about to pinch Xue Tong's neck.

But at that moment, Xue Tong's right hand flashed past from the side like lightning, and grabbed his arm.

Gaia glanced at Xue Tong in surprise. "What, you still don't want to admit defeat?"

"What are you talking about?"

Although his neck was being pinched, Xue Tong's voice was still indifferent, as if he was not the one being controlled.

In fact, he had been in a mysterious state of spiritual retrospection, and was not the collapse that Gaia thought. But now he saw Gaia presumptuously defining him, and he couldn't help but find it a bit ridiculous.

But this is not important. What is important is… after this mysterious spiritual retrospection, Xue Tong finally discovered a secret.

A secret about the battle potential attribute.

Unconsciously, his body began to emit a faint aura. But no one noticed that this time the aura was no longer invisible, but had a little color. A deep, void-like black.

"I don't know how you understand battle potential." Xue Tong stared at the other party's eyes, and bit by bit pried open the other party's fingers with his right hand. "But I am different… I only have one understanding of battle potential."

"Will… is power!"

My will… is unyielding!!

In Xue Tong's mind, the figure of the unrestrained and invincible man flashed again, as well as the proud sentence he still said in front of tens of thousands of crystal warriors.

"I… will never bow my head."
