Chapter 222: Ninth Tier Lifeform!

It's important to note that Su Chen's strongest force at present is at the 8th Order Early-Term level. In other words, his unleashed strength is also at the 8th Order Early-Term level. However, it proves to be useless against Lance.

The second ability allows him to borrow one ability from any of his units. Su Chen ponders hard, considering which ability would be helpful in this situation.

The teleportation ability of the Space-Time Assault Team? No, even if he escapes from here, Lance, with his abilities, will quickly find him. Then he would wreak havoc on Earth, creating even more trouble.

The erasure ability of the Chrono Troopers? No, in all seriousness, that ability is not inherent to the unit but is released through their weapon. And Su Chen doesn't have that weapon.

Su Chen considers various abilities, but none of them seem to have any effect on Lance.

Left with no other option, Su Chen chooses the teleportation ability to escape first.

In the blink of an eye, Su Chen disappears before Lance's eyes, surprising him.

"Teleportation? Someone who hasn't even reached the Ninth Tier of a planet can perform teleportation?" Even Lance himself cannot achieve that. Although he surpasses Su Chen in power, he doesn't possess teleportation. That's something only someone at the Ninth Tier of a small star system can do.

As far as Lance knows, human strength ranges from the basic planetary level to the subsequent small star system level, followed by the large star system level, and then the constellation level. He doesn't know what comes after that.

The strongest person from Atlantis was only at the level of a small star system. Otherwise, they wouldn't have abandoned their homeland and pursued the traces of the Qilou civilization to find Earth.

In the past, the Qilou civilization had individuals who reached the level of a constellation, an unstoppable power in the universe.

If Atlantis had such powerful individuals, why would they need to leave their homeland?

Lance chuckles lightly, confident that as long as humans are still on this planet, they cannot escape from his grasp.

Su Chen appears in the command room of the main base. Teleportation is a strange thing. As long as he envisions the destination in his mind, he can teleport there. However, there are side effects, leaving him unable to move.

After Su Chen appears, all the units feel their connection with the Commander restored, so they bombard him with information.

"Wait, everyone, stop. Let Ju Ling speak," Su Chen promptly stops their chaotic chatter.

"Commander, you were gone for five days. Currently, there haven't been any problems on the human side, and all the bases are operating normally. However, including all the super units, we have been searching for the Commander. Where were you?" Ju Ling's voice carries an unmistakable concern.

"I'm currently in the main base. All of you come here. There's something important I need to tell you." Su Chen knows that if Lance comes out from that place, the first person he'll look for is him. This is a significant crisis, and if he can't deal with Lance, it's game over.

Upon hearing the Commander's orders, all the super units and the two spies teleport back to the main base as quickly as possible, entering the command room.

They see the Commander standing there, facing away from them, exuding a powerful aura.

If only they knew that Su Chen's current state is due to the side effects of teleportation, rendering him immobile. Would they still think it's impressive?

"Just now, I entered the trial space of the Qilou civilization..." Su Chen briefly tells them what happened, with a special emphasis on Lance.

"It won't be long before he finds his way here. When that happens, we must fight him to the death. If we win, everything will be back to normal. But if we lose, we might all be finished."

Su Chen doesn't hold high expectations for this battle. The impression Lance gave him earlier was overwhelming. That kind of power feels like it surpasses the Eighth Tier. Could it be that Lance is actually a Ninth Tier entity?

Su Chen really wants to curse. He has a group of Eighth Tier super units, and they have to deal with a Ninth Tier extraterrestrial. How the hell are they supposed to fight?

Even if they include all the human emperors, it's doubtful they could handle Lance.

At that moment, the voice of the System chimes in: "Triggering a side mission: Kill Lance from the Atlantis civilization. No time limit. Completion rewards: 10 million energy and one weapon upgrade opportunity. No punishment for failure."

Su Chen is taken aback. The fact that there's no punishment for failure surprises him. Has the System suddenly become merciful?

But upon further thought, if he fails the mission, Lance would have probably killed him long ago, so there's no need to worry about punishments.

"No, I absolutely must take down Lance. Let's start now. Activate the highest level of alertness. Transfer all the forces from the bases to the main base, and be fully prepared to face Lance!"

At this moment, Su Chen's expression turns serious. A satellite interface appears before him, displaying the gate of the ruins, and standing there is Lance himself.

Lance looks up and seems to have noticed something.

"You even control satellite technology. It seems that the technological level of humanity in this era is on the verge of interstellar travel. It truly surprises me."

Before Lance finishes speaking, the image in front of Su Chen disappears, and he also realizes that he can't control the Spy satellites anymore. They are gone.

Fuck!

Su Chen blurts out a curse directly. He can't believe that from such a distance, Lance could simply crush the Spy satellites in space with his hands. This is ridiculously powerful.

Su Chen feels that if Lance were to appear here, his subordinates wouldn't stand a chance against his invasion.

"System, show me something amazing to save the day. I'm about to die here."

That's right, Su Chen has embraced the fine tradition passed down by his ancestors: If you can't win, yell for help!

Red Alert was also created by the System, so it's only natural to seek help from the System. No problem there.

The System remains aloof, ignoring Su Chen completely. It doesn't say a word, regardless of what Su Chen says.

"The opponent is a Ninth Tier powerhouse. Even superweapons might not be able to deal with him. How the hell are we supposed to fight? Just send me back through time already." Seeing the System ignoring him, Su Chen starts his performance.

Eventually, the System is worn down by Su Chen and says just one sentence: "People from the Atlantis civilization have a weakness—weak psychic defense."

At this moment, Su Chen wants to kiss the System. This weakness is incredibly useful to him. Considering he has recently upgraded his psychic abilities, his psychic attacks are now his strongest.

While Su Chen and the System are in communication, Lance appears not far from the main base. The moment he appears, he is greeted by a deluge of attacks.

Even an Eighth Tier powerhouse would not dare underestimate such a massive assault. Lance looks at it and casually waves his hand, causing an invisible barrier to block all the attacks, rendering them completely ineffective against him.
