2116 Big Dipper Takes the Stage, the Squadron Takes the Stage

Unable to advance or retreat, the captain of the alien troop could only request backup from Corvus Glaive.

They were unlucky, but they had created a better environment for Thanos's army.

After all, they were strong enough to suppress almost ten superheroes and more than 500 reserve members.

When Corvus Glaive received the request for help, he didn't stand by and do nothing.

He wasn't an idiot.

Once this alien troop suffered heavy losses, wouldn't the superheroes besiege them next?

As a result, the battle was at an impasse once more.

Earth's allied forces vs Thanos' army, superheroes vs aliens – everything entered a dynamic balance.

From the looks of it, Earth's allied forces would be the first to lose in terms of low-level combat ability, while the aliens would lose in terms of high-level combat ability.

If this continued, everything would depend on which group was defeated first before they moved to back up the other group.

Luke didn't want to fight a war of attrition. Besides, after long observation, he had a rough idea of the nature of the superpowered aliens' abilities. It was time to take action.

Thus, the invisible Big Dipper suddenly took action.

He instantly took out a silver katana from his inventory and slashed at the neck of one of the three strongest members of the alien troop.

This vice captain's eyes were filled with astonishment as his head was sent flying.

Then, he watched the man who had cut off his head swing two blades and cut his body into dozens of pieces, before blowing them up with a plasma cannon.

He didn't even let my body off. Where did this monster come from? This question was destined to be unanswered as the alien's consciousness completely disappeared.

Big Dipper swiftly flew at the next target.

Of course, he didn't have to explain anything to anyone. He had only cut the alien into pieces in passing. In any case, several dozen slashes and one cannon shot only took 0.1 seconds.

This way, he could prevent the possibility of the alien sticking himself back together if the head wasn't the key feature.

After all, even he as a human was capable of something similar, provided that his body wasn't severely damaged and he was fast enough.

So, safety first.

The instant defeat of the vice captain created tremendous panic among the alien soldiers.

If the vice captain could be killed like this, only the captain and the second officer would be able to last a little longer.

It wasn't that they were stronger, but that they already had their guard up after the death of the vice captain.

In fact, the captain, vice captain and the second officer were from the same race.

This race also had a very small chance of developing a special gift — the ability to absorb and release most types of energy.

There were very few weaknesses to this ability, and one of them was the absorption speed.

These three weren't especially strong, but they could still protect themselves. However, their movements were still affected by the huge shock wave generated by an energy attack, which was why Luke had been able to tie them down with focused gunfire.

They couldn't absorb a lot – the captain had only been appointed to the position because he was more talented at leading.

If the vice captain couldn't withstand this attack, neither would these two.

What surprised the captain and the second officer was that Big Dipper didn't immediately come after them. Instead, he targeted another team member who had telekinesis.

Both of them were secretly relieved, but their expressions instantly turned ugly.

The team member with the strongest telekinesis and who was the most agile in moving and attacking was beheaded by Big Dipper and turned to dust.

Compared with the vice captain, this person dodged just a little more, but wasn't any slower to die than the vice captain.

If Luke knew what they were thinking, he would only chuckle inwardly.

Big Dipper used the power of Annihilation first and then Intermediate Telekinesis to restrict the opponent's movements.

If anyone in the alien troop could withstand these two strongest mental abilities, these abilities weren't worth much at all.

Also, Big Dipper hadn't even canceled stealth mode yet.

Two elite soldiers killed in a row was crazy, but the situation was chaotic at that moment, with energy bullets, fighter planes and suits flying everywhere on the battlefield.

In the middle of the battlefield, it was easy to lose track of Big Dipper if the aliens weren't careful.

Big Dipper had seized the opportunity during the chaos earlier to approach and instantly kill the two aliens.

…

Given Big Dipper's 'insta-kill' ability, everybody in the alien troop was in danger and had to pay attention to their surroundings, afraid that they would be the third unlucky b*stard to be cut up and roasted.

The number of casualties they suffered increased even more quickly, but nobody dared to be distracted from their own surroundings.

In just a few minutes, Big Dipper killed another five alien soldiers.

It wasn't as many as Jennifer, who was tearing them apart like paper, but all the ones he killed had superpowers.

Including the first two, almost half of the superpowered aliens in the troop were dead.

Without the support of these clearly stronger team members, the alien troop's situation quickly deteriorated.

The threat of Thanos prevented them from running away, but they were reluctant to instantly risk their lives as well.

Their current rank and benefits were obtained through countless battles.

The more they killed, the more reluctant they were to die. They could only hope that they could withstand this attack.

Although Thanos was cold and heartless, this troop was very useful to him. He wouldn't sit back and watch it be destroyed.

A moment later, one large and three medium-sized battleships got into formation and entered Earth's atmosphere.

The combat soldiers on the medium-sized battleships were also informed to get ready. This small squadron would launch an attack and provide battlefield support.

Just as these elite alien soldiers perked up, three huge rings of sparks opened.

Three Helicarriers, which had been modified countless times between the early 2.0 version and the current X version, flew out and formed a protective triangle.

At the same time, countless cannons on the Helicarriers aimed and opened fire the moment they flew out of the portals.

Vibration pulse cannons, solid electromagnetic cannons, and high-energy plasma cannons fired at the large flagship in the small squadron that was swiftly bearing down on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Thanos, who was sitting on his throne, sneered. "That's it?"

The next moment, he was suddenly stunned.

The Helicarrier in the lead fired a vibration pulse beam.

Logically speaking, the pulse beam should have been absorbed by the flagship's protective shield and disappeared.

In fact, the moment the pulse beam disappeared, the protective shield on the flagship shook like a soap bubble, and the solid electromagnetic beam that followed right after pierced the shield and shattered it completely.

It didn't seem like this electromagnetic beam had been weakened much by the shield, and it struck the flagship heavily and successfully pierced the outer hull.

As if on cue, a final high-energy plasma beam shot into the gap created by the electromagnetic beam.

The flagship shook like a wounded beast, and there were faint explosions inside.

The three Helicarriers launched a second round of attacks, and the target was still the flagship, now damaged.
