The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Taking the Enemy by Surprise

Boom Boom Boom——

The sky-shattering explosion, the dazzling and glaring light, instantly enveloped the entire arena, dust flying, thick smoke rising——

Spectator stands: ”!!!”

Silence.

...

Silence, like a terrifying contagion, quickly swept across the entire spectator stands, everyone’s eyes widened, mouths agape, too shocked to speak.

After a while,

Someone asks: ”Eh? Who won?”

Another person said: ”I don’t know— the system hasn’t given a prompt yet.”

When this person finished speaking, everyone’s expression instantly shook:

No prompt means both contestants are not dead yet.

Generally, only when one participant dies and is eliminated does the system announce the winner. The terrifying explosion just now filled the entire arena with smoke, completely obscuring the view of the contestants’ specific situation.

”What exactly caused that explosion just now?”

”Seems like—a Tracking Particle Cannon suddenly went out of control and exploded, igniting all the particle cannons at once, causing that effect.”

”Yeah, that’s what happened.”

”So—did both of them die? But—no, wait, if both died, it should at least be a draw, right? Why hasn’t the system prompted yet?”

”Did... none of you see? It wasn’t the Tracking Particle Cannon that went out of control, but the Rag Queen fired a shot that hit it! That’s why it exploded!” One would know; how could a Tracking Particle Cannon go out of control? If it were really so prone to failure, the personnel in the entire Alliance’s weapon research institutes would have to resign! Tracking Particle Cannon is a very mature weapon, and there are only two situations in which it explodes: either it hits a target or it gets hit — so many people guessed that Rag Queen interfered.

”But! Did you really see Rag Queen take action? Why didn’t I notice just now?”

”It’s because Rag Queen was too fast! If I wasn’t constantly watching her, and my spiritual power wasn’t high, I would have missed it too.”

In one corner of the spectator stands, Xiaoqing, aka Shen Changqing, was staring at the arena, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly pondering something, accompanied by a handsome young man.

”Aqing, did you see clearly what happened just now?” The young man, with a cultured appearance yet a domineering name ’Dominate the Universe’, frowned and asked.

Shen Changqing nodded: ”I saw it clearly. She was able to quietly compress all her particle cannons despite being bombarded.”

Given how crude the antique mech’s weapon system was, relying on such primitive weapons to fight against an opponent would surely be hopeless, so Rag Queen took a different approach, compressing all her conventional, ordinary particle cannons into one. The power of this compressed particle cannon after compression could rival a Tracking Particle Cannon, even stronger——

This ability is not just about having strong spiritual power.

It’s truly shocking, admirable, and praiseworthy.

Dominate the Universe heard this, and the unpleasant memories from the past crept back in his mind.

Ahhh——

The loss he suffered back then was because of this sneaky and despicable tactic by Rag Queen.

Shen Changqing seemed to remember something and suddenly said: ”Ayuan, you fought against her last time, weren’t you also blown up by her like this?”

Dominate the Universe: ”...”

Why bring up the sore spot! But fortunately, Dominate the Universe, aka Yue Qiyuan knew Shen Changqing wasn’t speaking mockingly.Traceable.

Shen Changqing is a man who values the truth and speaks factually, and he wouldn’t deliberately mock or look down on anyone.

Therefore, Yue Qiyuan didn’t take it to heart, but couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying: ”At that time, she clung to my mech’s head like a sticky plaster, and I thought those ordinary cold weapons and energy weapons, even particle cannons, couldn’t pose a threat to me in such a short time, so I was only guarding against her sudden close attack and spiritual interference. But who could have expected, she suddenly produced a Compressed Particle Cannon, blasted my defenses, and killed me.”

Because, I’ve never seen this kind of tactic before!

Before this, everyone didn’t know that particle cannons could be compressed. After the fact, Yue Qiyuan searched through countless documents, only to learn that it is possible to compress weapons when spiritual power is strong enough.

Shen Changqing listened and nodded sensibly, saying: ”If it had been me back then, I would have fallen for it too.”

He used an affirmative sentence.

Suddenly——

In the dusty arena, a disturbance appeared——

Yue Qiyuan and Shen Changqing instantly shut up, staring intently at the arena:

Who could it be?

Everyone was looking forward to it——

Then, they saw a gigantic but severely damaged mech, emerging slowly amidst thick smoke—It was none other than the Rag Queen’s wealthy opponent. He opened his mouth and laughed wildly: ”Hahaha... didn’t expect me to still be alive, huh? Let me tell you, I’ve invested a fortune into layer upon layer of Protective Shields for this mech. Think you can blow me up in one go?—No way!!!”

Audience: ”!!!”

Once the audience clearly saw the information on the opposing mech, they couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes widening:

”Hiss—”

”Beast—”

”This is the real beast!”

”They’ve applied all the latest defensive technologies on this mech, haven’t they? What’s even more sickening, this mech was originally the Alliance’s latest model of defensive Heavy Armor, which wouldn’t necessarily be penetrated even by thousands of Particle Cannon strikes—”

”Rich!”

”Tycoon daddy, do you still need any leg accessories? The kind you nurture with points.”

”Tycoon daddy...”

The flattery from the audience only made the opponent more arrogant, as he piloted the mech, striding boldly and confidently, crushing and kicking the fragmented mech debris and scattered parts underfoot, his electronic eyes scanning around, while he kept shouting loudly: ”Where is that scrap-collecting trash? Come out and meet your demise—”

The opponent was arrogantly taunting:

”Trash! Come out and meet your end!”

”What are you hiding for? Hurry up!”

”Better to die early and reincarnate, don’t waste my time!”

As he stepped forward, everyone clearly saw the antique mech driven by the Rag Queen had already shattered into pieces—

”It’s over.”

”The Rag Queen is defeated.” In the audience, many couldn’t bear it anymore and sighed. The mech was already smashed to bits, how could the person be doing any better?

At this moment—

Behind this huge mech, suddenly a flash of light streaked by, and before anyone could react, they saw a tall figure holding a huge cleaver, leaping up and fiercely chopping toward the back of the mech’s neck.

One strike!

Two strikes!

Three strikes!

...

People couldn’t count and couldn’t remember just how many strikes there were, only hearing cracking sounds as the wealthy contestant’s mech head was forcibly chopped off.

Broken.

Broken.

Broken.
