My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 254 - 253: Fulfilling the Promise! Subspace! Claustrophobic Dependence!

"If I had to describe it... the art of slaughter! Yes! That's the word! Brother Ran's sword skill is too perfect! It's as if it was forged a thousand times! Even if we were at the same realm and attribute, I feel I couldn't withstand even one strike!"

"That's what a genius is, don't be envious, you'll never catch up in this lifetime."

"I'm not envious! I just feel really admiring! The stronger Brother Ran and Sister Qiangwei are, the happier I am!"

The two chatted briefly until Wu Di had slightly recovered some physical strength and Li Xing's Superpower Erosion was not as severe, then they simultaneously dashed out from the makeshift cover to continue fighting.

Sword lights and shadows, gunfire roared.

Blood splattering everywhere!

The Longevity People, realizing they couldn't enjoy the perks of Resurrection, were no longer as fearless as before.

On the contrary, they completely lost their former courage and reckless spirit, hastily dropping their weapons and displaying an attitude of sheer terror, like turtles hiding in their shells, each one seeking to hide in corners and crevices, hoping not to be found and to cling to life.

Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei didn't bother to pursue, instead, focusing on dealing with the enemies blocking their path.

Would the enemies who lost their will to fight and even dropped their weapons still live because of it?

The answer is no!

The end result for these Longevity People is...

They all had to die!

They must die!

Hiding is meaningless.

Their behavior only served to slightly reduce the energy consumption of the Earth Expedition Team in battle.

The entire Consciousness Transmission Factory was almost ninety percent automated along the lines, with only about ten percent requiring human involvement.

So, the number of Longevity People helping the invaders in the factory wasn't actually that many.

Ma Ran made a rough estimate.

There were approximately seven hundred to eight hundred Longevity People here.

A total of three hundred and sixty-seven were killed by himself, Su Qiangwei, "the Demon Seed," Wu Di, and Li Xing.

The remaining ones relied on their home-field advantage to hide.

Some purely had an ostrich mentality, having completely lost their initial arrogance, with just the hope that this storm would pass quickly in their terror.

Others hid in places suitable for ambushes, planning to seize the opportunity for a sneak attack, thereby earning the big shots in the Mysterious Research Institute's rewards, rising to higher ranks, or even becoming a "great and glorious Experimenter."

This group, even united, wasn't an adversary, scattered each on their own, posed even less of a threat.

The eradication process didn't have any twists.

Inspired by Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, Li Xing, and Wu Di also developed the habit of delivering a coup de grace during the siege.

Even if an enemy's body was sliced in half, they would still shoot an extra bullet into their head to ensure complete death.

There were also quite a few interstellar jump pods stored in the Consciousness Transmission Factory.

To improve clearance efficiency, the five-man team split into two groups, operating within the Consciousness Transmission Factory, keeping a distance short enough to offer instant mutual support if needed.

Following "the Demon Seed," Li Xing and Wu Di initially caught a few stragglers, but as they moved on, they could only see heaps of mashed flesh.

The two seized the opportunity to recover their combat power.

They didn't feel frustrated, on the contrary, they were pleased and at ease.

Previously, the Eternal Civilization invaded Earth, wrought havoc, killed indiscriminately, committing every conceivable atrocity, mastering Resurrection, Consciousness Transmission, and Interstellar Jump technologies, coming as they pleased, leaving as they wished.

Earthlings, no matter how angry, annoyed, or hateful they were towards these guys, could only watch helplessly, enduring it all.

Now...

Everything is different!

Just like what Dong Huaiming recorded in his book "Burning Nightmare" — "As invaders come, so shall we go!"

If they hadn't personally been involved, Wu Di and Li Xing would think such promises were like mirages, unrealistic.

But in fact...

Back when Ma Ran was in A3 District, the promises he made to the soldiers, now...

It was achieved!

...

"Hehehe..."

Su Qiangwei ate a piece of Qilin Meat·Type One, her mouth slightly puffed up, saying indistinctly, "I was awesome just now, right?"

Of course, she wouldn't pretend not to hear Li Xing and Wu Di's praise and compliments.

But those two guys' words felt too light. Although at the time they sounded sincere, upon reflection, it felt lacking something.

Upon thinking it over, it was because Ma Ran hadn't spoken!

Ma Ran nodded, swinging his long knife, instantly killing three ambushers, their blood splattering across the wall, speaking nonchalantly: "Impressive."

Su Qiangwei's chewing paused, her eyes vacant: "Jiu zhe (is that it)?"

Too perfunctory!

Not sincere at all!

Wasn't her moment to shine not even worth more than a few words?

Ma Ran looked at her casually: "The attack means are nothing new, five types of superpowers used in conjunction, essentially just an evolved version of the Water Quality Thunder Spear."

As he spoke, he extended his left hand, grabbed a Longevity Star Person trying to ambush Su Qiangwei.

Clutching the person's facial bones firmly, he exerted a sudden force, crashing them onto an alloy wall!

Bang!

Blood and brain matter mixed into a mess, splattering out, brushed away by Inner Qi.

A headless body slowly collapsed.

"Your survival skills are quite well used, though."

Ma Ran remained efficient in his slaughter while evaluating Su Qiangwei's earlier performance: "I've read all the records in the Extraordinary Database."

"Meaning all that information is stored in my mind."

For every sentence he uttered, at least two Longevity People died under his blade.

"Guangzhou, Yangcheng Academy, Pillar Level Superpower [Subspace] Awakened Yuan Qinghua."

"Extremely excellent swordsmanship talent, before joining the Academy, just an ordinary high school senior, swordsmanship talent rated '9', only slightly less than Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi, these two Sword Master Disciples."

"Like Luo Xianli, she prefers relying on skills developed step by step through her cultivation rather than superpowers."

"It's just that Luo Xianli took the path of Inner Qi Extraordinary, while Yuan Qinghua chose the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship."

"I have to admit, purely in terms of [Subspace] capability, your proficiency even exceeds the original ability user..."

What does 'original ability user' mean? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Why not call it 'ability owner'? Makes it sound like a thief!

Master Qiangwei's adept handling of the [Myriad Transformations] to obtain superpowers is a perfectly normal and reasonable thing!

Neither Yuan Qinghua nor Luo Xianli complained, only Ma Ran, this annoying guy, makes surreptitious remarks here!

Ma Ran gazed at Su Qiangwei, without speaking, reminiscing on the detailed data of the capability in his mind.

[Subspace] — With eyes open, the ability user can enter a small, immobile subspace. The ability user can consume more Spiritual Power and endure greater Superpower Erosion to bring people or objects into the subspace. When closing eyes, the subspace closes and appears at the previous location.

The Superpower Erosion manifests as — willpower distortion, externally as claustrophobic dependency.

Meaning: the more frequently the ability is used, the more one loathes open environments.

The think tank predicts, when Superpower Erosion becomes too severe, the [Subspace] Awakened Yuan Qinghua will voluntarily enter the subspace more frequently and for longer durations, possibly developing into a situation where she would rather starve than leave the subspace if not necessary.

The degree of Superpower Erosion, neither as weak as [Myriad Transformations] being laughable, nor as strong as [Limited Foreknowledge] being absurd, falls within the midrange, where the majority of Superpower Users are.

In summary, [Subspace] is a very powerful and excellent Pillar Level superpower.

It isn't a dueling-type ability like [Blood Flame], nor a control-type like [Extreme Cold], but a tactical ability.

[Subspace] simultaneously features ambush, rescue, and escape traits.

Su Qiangwei's handling of [Subspace] through Myriad Transformations, with a volume of about forty cubic meters...

Somewhat...

Just a tiny bit too large.
