Li Shuibao had just finished a Star War and was happily counting his spoils.
"Although it's only an Orc civilization, this iron ore is enough to forge weapons for my warriors. I won't have to spend extra Star Coins buying materials anymore. Not bad."
"And there's even a coal mine. What a jackpot."
With the unique power of Gang Qi, which granted increased defense, vitality, and armor penetration, his warriors were nearly invincible in close combat at this stage.
Even the naturally powerful Orcs had been defeated.
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as their resources were looted.
"If I transport these weapons back first, I'll be ready to conquer the next planet."
Li Shuibao watched his soldiers carrying supplies with satisfaction.
Then Jiang Hao's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Don't let me run into you."
"If I do, I'll crush you and turn your planet back into the useless wasteland it used to be."
That so-called waste planet had stolen his spotlight again and again, forcing him to spend a fortune purchasing Origin Essence.
Just thinking about it made him furious.
Unlike Jiang Hao, every drop of Li Shuibao's hundred points of Origin Power had been invested directly into combat strength.
He now possessed:
Two Silver-rank combat units.
More than twenty Brass-rank warriors.
That was the confidence behind his arrogance.
And...
He still had another trump card.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, another group suddenly appeared on his planet.
"Hm?"
"When did they get here?"
His attention had been completely occupied by organizing the resources from his latest conquest.
By the time he reacted...
The Saiyans had already begun stuffing his hard-earned loot into Universal Capsules.
"They're stealing!"
"Someone's robbing us!"
"Stop them!"
"They're nothing but bandits!"
Most of the people left behind on Li Shuibao's planet were ordinary civilians.
Only two Brass-rank warriors remained to guard the resources.
Against the lightning-fast Saiyans...
They were utterly helpless.
Li Shuibao stared in disbelief.
"...What?"
"Shouldn't we fight first? Why are they robbing me before the battle even starts?"
"...Wait..."
His eyes narrowed.
"Why do those guys look familiar?"
A second later...
His face twisted.
"Jiang Hao!"
"Damn it!"
"I was planning to come after you!"
"And instead, you've come to rob me?!"
The moment he recognized the Saiyans, rage exploded inside him.
His consciousness immediately descended into the body of his strongest warrior.
"Jiang Hao!"
"I know you can hear me!"
"I was already planning to find you."
"I never expected you'd deliver yourself right to my doorstep."
The warrior under Li Shuibao's control sneered proudly.
"Do you really think I'm still the same person as before?"
"I now have two Silver-rank combat units. Two!"
"My Brass-rank warriors also outnumber yours."
"Compared to me..."
"You're nothing."
His face was filled with confidence.
After all, in his mind...
Jiang Hao's planet had no future.
No extraordinary energy.
No room for growth.
Surely Jiang Hao had been forced to waste all of his Origin Power simply enlarging his planet.
What else could he possibly spend it on?
The thought of finally crushing the man who had humiliated him over and over again filled Li Shuibao with excitement.
His entire body trembled with anticipation.
This...
This was what true victory felt like.
"As long as you hand over every resource on your planet..."
"And tell me the secret behind this strange race of yours..."
"I might consider sparing your life."
"...Otherwise..."
Of course...
He had never intended to spare Jiang Hao.
Once every secret had been squeezed out of him...
He would destroy him completely.
Only then would his revenge be complete.
The more Li Shuibao imagined it, the happier he became.
He couldn't help admiring his own brilliant plan.
Yet...
Even after such a long speech...
No reply came.
Instead—
The Saiyans continued calmly packing away his iron ore.
Then his coal.
Then everything else.
When the last resource had been collected, Amosi slowly walked forward and stopped before Li Shuibao's warrior.
His expression remained cold.
"My god's language is too profound for someone like you."
"But in the language of my people..."
"It means only one thing."
"...You're full of shit."
Li Shuibao's face instantly turned green with rage.
Not metaphorically.
His complexion literally flushed green.
His entire body trembled.
This wasn't merely an insult.
Jiang Hao hadn't even bothered responding personally.
To him...
Li Shuibao wasn't worth speaking to.
Feeling utterly ignored, Li Shuibao completely lost control.
"Fine!"
"I'll kill every single one of you!"
"Once all your combat units die..."
"Jiang Hao won't have enough Origin Essence to recover!"
"He'll spend the rest of his life as a worthless nobody!"
"And I..."
"Li Shuibao..."
"...will stomp him into the dirt!"
Amosi looked at the furious man before him with complete indifference.
Someone like this...
How could he ever be worthy of becoming my god's opponent?
Li Shuibao caught the brief flash of contempt in Amosi's eyes.
His anger exploded.
"What?!"
"A mere combat unit dares to look down on me?!"
Without another word—
He attacked.
"Die!"
"You filthy alien!"
His warrior threw a powerful punch straight toward Amosi's face.
Gang Qi surged.
Power multiplied.
Armor penetration activated.
In Li Shuibao's eyes, possessing extraordinary energy and lacking it were worlds apart.
Without extraordinary power...
Jiang Hao had absolutely no chance against him.
Victory...
Would be effortless.
But—
He had miscalculated.
"How... is this possible?!"
Amosi casually lifted one hand.
It looked no different from someone lazily brushing away a mosquito.
Bang!
Li Shuibao's warrior captain was struck with terrifying force.
His skull shattered instantly.
He died on the spot.
Li Shuibao froze.
His eyes widened in complete disbelief.
Jiang Hao, who had been observing the battle from afar, remained perfectly calm.
This result was exactly what he had expected.
Through Amosi's combat detector, every enemy's strength had already been analyzed.
Combat Power:
8
5
6
7
Brass Rank:
56
77
67
89
Silver Rank:
300
300
Among the Saiyans...
The talented squad captain had already reached the Silver Rank, with a combat power of 500.
The remaining six Saiyans each possessed around 100 combat power.
As their commander...
Amosi's normal combat power had already reached—
6,000.
Against that kind of overwhelming strength...
Li Shuibao's so-called elite warriors were no different from insects.
Jiang Hao wasn't surprised in the slightest.
But Li Shuibao stood frozen.
"What..."
"What kind of monster is this?"
Even though fear had begun creeping into his heart...
He still possessed one final trump card.
"No matter how strong your body is..."
"You'll be wiped out once that civilization arrives."
Without hesitation...
Li Shuibao immediately sent out a distress signal.
