It would be more likely that the Godoran would raise their suspicion and become alert. Knowing that the other party was from an advanced civilization rather than an uncivilized one, the investigator would hold a different attitude, and the chances of successful sneak attacks would be lower.
Moreover, using the identity of an advanced civilization was not always beneficial. Godora was one of the most powerful civilizations in the entire galaxy. There was no reason for them to help him. Even if Han Xiao was willing to offer money, Kerlodd could still contact the Six Nations to get resources. So, it was possible that they would not help Han Xiao.
The most likely scenario was that Godoran would have bad intentions. Was it not a freebie to kill a wanderer without any backup?
With only a few seconds to think, Han Xiao had decided to directly use brute force and rob the device. Not only that, he also came up with a new plan. First, he had to stop Kerlodd from talking to the Six Nations.
On the receiving end of the attack, Kerlodd slowly got up without any injury. The battle suit was still releasing a golden glow, which was the shield embedded in the suit.
Kerlodd’s expression was cold, and he took the two small golden balls that were attached to his braids. The Mechanical force flashed on his fingertips, and the small ball expanded. One ball became a golden shield, while the other ball turned into golden spear. The appearance was old-fashioned, but one could feel the energy embedded in the weapon, showing that they were not ordinary weapons.
“You uncultured swine, you’ve made a big mistake.”
The transformation from the golden ball to a weapon was a mechanic skill. Advance civilizations basically had this skill in hand, and it was clear that Godora had better equipment.
Kerlodd was a LV 63 Mechanical Pugilist. Pure-blooded Godorans had much higher attributes compared to humans. His attributes where not lower than the LV 60 Pugilist on Planet Aquamarine, and with advanced equipment, his power points were around 3000 Ona, a Class C Super. Just from the power points, he was stronger than all the LV 60 Superhumans on Planet Aquamarine.
But he did not surpass Han Xiao.
The battle erupted.
Han Xiao spread out his wings, and the four machine guns on the wings fired rapidly. Kerlodd raised his shield, and the shield release a larger circular light shield on top of it.
Ding ding dang dang!
All the bullets were reflected by the light shield.
Kerlodd roared with anger and pointed his spear right at Han Xiao. The head of a spear suddenly fired a golden bullet in an arrow shape. Han Xiao jumped in an instant, and the bullet passed right by his feet. The bullet left clear holes in the trees that were on its path and disappeared into the distance.
Godoran craftsmanship combined technology and magic, so it was not an ordinary weapon that was based on technology. Instead, its power was stronger than normal explosive powder, where one light bullet could take out 500 armor points; the damage was extremely high.
Han Xiao hovered in midair and used the sniper to kite the enemy. However, all the electromagnetic bullets were blocked off by the shield. At the same time, Kerlodd pulled off another golden ball, which formed a weird gun that was the size of half of the body and fired into the sky.
Hong!
A bright red beam shot out of the barrel. Han Xiao tried to dodge it, but he still got tagged by the edge of them beam, and the armor points dropped by 300.
The Mechanic class clearly showed the power of having a better equipment and weapons. Kerlodd was supposed to be an enemy from Version 2.0, so it was natural that one felt his damage was too high.
Even though investigators were not famous for their combat skills, Kerlodd was different. He had great confidence in his combat abilities, and he thought that he could suppress anyone from the lower civilization with just his equipment alone.
Kerlodd had the sense of pride as a part of a higher civilization, and he did not put Planet Aquamarine in his eyes. He did not understand why Han Xiao attacked, but a lower species trying to challenge him was just to ask for death. He wanted Han Xiao to understand the position that he was in.
Han Xiao remained calm. It was not the first time that he had fought someone stronger than him. Even though Kerlodd had good equipment and attributes, but he was still an elite model, so the skills and abilities were all normal.
This is probably the first time I’ve fought with a space soldier. His ranged attack is stronger than mine. I need to try and get close.
Han Xiao instantly adapted his plan and dove down onto the enemy. Four Sonic Spheres flew and exploded around Kerlodd. Kerlodd’s shield was affected by the attack, meaning that the attack was stable.
Kerlodd counter attacked with his spear. Han Xiao also used a basic shield made out of electromagnetic field and blocked the attack.
Hum—
The sparks dance around the friction between Han Xiao’s electromagnetic blades and Kerlodd’s shield.
Bang bang bang!
Punches and kicks with huge bursts of energy landed on Kerlodd’s body. The shield was heavily weakened, and the suit was also heavily damaged.
Even though close quarter combat was advantageous for a Mechanical Pugilist, Han Xiao had a variety of skills and abilities that overwhelmed Kerlodd.
The two men did not rest for a second, and the battlefield was soon moved away from the spaceship crash site and into a forest.
Even though the Godoran investigator had the advantage in equipment, Han Xiao’s attacks were too complex and unpredictable. Kerlodd could not hold back the attacks as he got more and more frustrated.
[Sonic Sphere—Penetrate] again released a penetrating sound wave. The shield flickered, and the energy was finally exhausted.
He’s so hard to deal with!
As Kerlodd realized the danger that he was in, he intentionally left an opening and used his suit to take a direct hit from Han Xiao. The light of suit dimmed again, but Kerlodd had the chance to open up another ball. It turned into a battle axe, which was the weapon that had the highest damage.
He had decided to end this battle!
The axe exploded in light like burning sun, and Kerlodd whirled it in the air and chopped down.
Hong!!
The earth cracked, and the impact wave exploded onto the side. The suit showed another ferocious crack, and the armor points dropped again.
“One more!” Kerlodd roared. He took a step back, used another skill as his body shined, and attacked again.
The signal of danger was imminent and deadly—the air pressure was landing at extremely high speed!
“Nice!” Han Xiao was happy instead of being afraid. He quickly activated the skill that he had saved up.
[Aftershock – Death Thorns]!
Dang!
The battle axe flew away, and Kerlodd fell to the ground on his knees as his hands were covered in his own blood.
The maxed-out skill [Aftershock – Death Thorns] could return fifty percent of close combat damage, which broke through Kerlodd’s armor and dealt actual damage.
The Sonic Spheres again landed on the enemy, and Kerlodd was knocked away. However, the shield on his suit was still active.
“You are strong. I did not think that this planet had people who are this strong.”
Kerlodd tried to catch his breath. He stood up again and took another two balls, which turned into another shield and a longsword.
“But choosing to fight me was your biggest mistake! My equipment is so much stronger than yours. You are a strong fighter, so I will kill you with honor.”
Han Xiao stopped moving and shook his head.
“Man, I didn’t want to do this.”
Before Kerlodd realized what was going on, Han Xiao’s energy power boosted at an insane rate. The thick and strong mechanical force covered the mechanical suit, as if it was a lighting snake crawling on his body. The energy core of the mechanical suit was so bright that it hurt Kerlodd’s eyes.
At the same time
, a shadow of a man wearing a black mask appeared behind Han Xiao.

Chapter 307 - Alien Captive
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sound of the explosions came continuously from where the spaceship had crashed. Huang Jian rubbed his hands and exhaled, worried.
Sounds like a battle, but who is he fighting?
Huang Jian was confused. In this unpopulated wilderness, was Han Xiao fighting with an alien?
Even the thought of it made him think that it was such a crazy world.
After a while, the sound disappeared, and Huang Jian worried even more. Although he had heard of how strong Han Xiao was, the enemy was an alien after all.
If anything happens to him, there won’t be anyone giving me orders. Should I continue to wait or…
Just as he was in a dilemma, an outline of a person flew in his direction from the place where the spaceship crashed and approached very quickly; it was Han Xuan, and he landed near the helicopter. Some parts of his mechanical suit had even cracked, exposing the wires inside, sparkling with electricity.
“Great, you’re okay.” Huang Jian heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he saw that Han Xiao had brought along a being of a species that he had never seen before, and its feet and hands were locked by electrical handcuffs—that was Kerlodd, who was had multiple bruises on his face and was naked.
“A—a—ali…” Huang Jian stuttered and pointed at Kerlodd in shock, unable to say a complete word.
“An alien, took me quite some effort to capture him.” Han Xiao grabbed Kerlodd by his hair and stuffed him into the cabin. This Godoran’s face was filled with rage, but his mouth was blocked, so he could not say anything.
Huang Jian was stunned. He knew that Han Xiao was strong, but he did not know that Han Xiao was so strong that he could even capture an alien. His knowledge of Han Xiao was refreshed.
“Fly the helicopter quickly. This place is close to Raylen’s border, so their people will be here very soon,” Han Xiao said.
Huang Jian started flying the helicopter hastily, and they departed.
Han Xiao took off the mechanical suit on the helicopter and checked its damage. The armor was only at twenty percent. The Godora investigator’s equipment was much more advanced; however, his last burst had made Kerlodd unable to fight back at all. All Kerlodd could do was lie there and take it.
He destroyed the investigator suit, seized the tiny golden ball, made sure that Kerlodd would not be able to touch any weapon, and only left him with a translator to make fooling him easier… no, to make communicating with him easier.
He got the communicator and a Godoran—the result was better than expected.
I can still get quite a number of things from him. I shall deal with him after getting back. Han Xiao thought on the new plan.
Huang Jian was very curious about the alien, and he kept turning back. “Your Excellency, does he bite?”
He, a high civilization investigator, was being looked down on by a native as a savage beast! Kerlodd was furious, but his limbs were all tied, so he could only express his protests by knocking his head on the metal plate strongly.
“I don’t think he bites…” Han Xiao touched his chin and said with a low voice, “but seeing that he’s so furious, maybe he has such twisted interests.”
Bang! Bang!
Kerlodd continued knocking his head on the metal plate.
“Is he edible?” Huang Jian asked curiously.
Han Xiao pinched the Godoran’s arms and said, “The skin is quite smooth, and the meat is rather solid. Are you interested?”
Huang Jian hesitated then nodded and said, “I have never eaten an alien before.”
Boom boom boom!
The frequency of head knocking on the metal plate became higher.
Underdeveloped! Savages! Kerlodd growled in his heart, then a tint of fear appeared in his mind.
Do these natives really want to eat me‽
Huang Jian was very interested and asked questions one after another, wanting to understand how Han Xiao knew an alien would arrive on in Planet Aquamarine and why he captured the alien. Incidentally, Kerlodd wanted to know the answer to these questions as well.
First, the space ship malfunctioned and was barely crash-landed, then came this strong guy in a mechanical suit, saying that he was there to welcome him. However, this ‘representative’ sneak attacked him, beat him up, and bound him.
Thinking that the analysis panel’s danger evaluation to Planet Aquamarine was ‘Low’, Kerlodd was in a rage. How long has it been since the database was last updated? How is this not dangerous!
Besides, who is he? Why did he capture me? How did he know I crash landed here?
Kerlodd could not figure it out, and of course, Han Xiao was not saying anything.
“Is it a male or female?” Huang Jian was curious.
“Check it yourself,” Han Xiao said with a weird expression.
Huang Jian opened his eyes wide and looked for a while, then said in surprise, “I thought that since this alien’s build is so huge, it should be huge too…”
Boom!
Kerlodd could not take the humiliation anymore and used all his strength to bang his head against the metal plate, knocking himself unconscious.
…
More than ten minutes after the helicopter left, Raylen’s troops arrived late at the scene, found the crashed spaceship, and immediately locked the area down in shock.
“This is a spaceship from outer space!”
“According to the orders from above, this is a spaceship from the friendly Godoran Civilization that was specifically sent to help us investigate the Inhumans!”
“Even the mountain peak was destroyed—this was not a usual landing, and the spaceship wrecked! Check for survivors immediately!”
“Report, no corpses were discovered in the spaceship. There are traces of a battle here!”
Raylen’s troops collected clues, observed the battlefield, and reached their first conclusion.
“Two people fought each other, both superhumans. One of them used weapons unknown to us. The marks on these trees seem like they were melted through by laser beams; the slash marks are extremely smooth; they were not caused by ordinary cold weapons. These battle traces have comparatively higher radiation levels, so this should be the Godoran.
“The other party used firearms; the metal construction of the bullet shells is similar to ours. There are also some armor shards in the ground, so this should be someone very strong in our planet. The actual person needs to be further verified with the database. From the destruction level of the scene, this person’s strength is definitely at the top of Planet Aquamarine, and there are very limited people in this category. The person should be identified within a short period.
“The result of the battle was most likely that the Godoran was captured and taken away.”
“Are there any other discoveries?”
At this time, a researcher noticed that the spaceship’s armor was open, and inside were the internal parts of the spaceship. He looked inside curiously, and as he was using the torchlight, he suddenly found something special. The researcher said, “There seem to be liquid in the spaceship.”
“Liquid?”
The crowd surrounded the
area. With a strong light shining in, they found a pile of metal and pipes covered in black, sticky liquid.
“What is that?”
“Probably fuel.”
At this time, the officer suddenly said, “Orders from above, transport the spaceship back to the nation secretly!”
The accident that happened to the Godora spaceship was a once in a blue moon chance for the Planet Aquamarine regimes, so Raylen decided to research on the technology of the spaceship. Since they were behind the other civilizations, they had to grab any chance to develop themselves; the hope of prospering only appeared when there were risks.
Of course, Raylen did not want to anger the Godoran Civilization, so they would report this to the Godoran Civilization, but they were going to delay it for some time, acting oblivious to the situation.
Raylen took this very seriously. They were determined to prevent news of the incident from spreading, and they wanted to have the spaceship excluding themselves.
About the missing Godoran, Raylen decided to search in secret.
The engineering team soon arrived. They dug out the spaceship, covered it in black cloth, and used three transporting helicopters to move it into Raylen’s territory.

Being back at the Sanctuary, Han Xiao locked Kerlodd in his secret base, then checked his battle trophies.
