Chapter 874: Chapter 873: Landing
[Balance-233] planet.
Another interstellar spaceship landing site was located on the dark side of the planet, with the spaceship’s design square and upright, emblazoned with the [DAHL] company logo.
It was situated in the transitional area between the dry plains and the sandy terrain.
A bald man with a stooped back walked slowly out of the spaceship without wearing any protective suit, directly breathing the unknown atmospheric composition of the planet, using his own lung system to analyze the air.
“Aside from the high carbon dioxide concentration, everything else is normal… The basic air composition is the same as Earth’s.
You all come down directly, if you can’t even adapt to this kind of environment, then you’re really useless.”
His team members also followed him out of the spaceship one after another.
What’s strange is that these members were all bigger than the average person, with heights starting from three meters upward.
Their robust trunks were clad in a rubbery material garb that gave others an immense sense of oppression.
“This is an interesting background setting… In a world without Demon invasions, humans have developed such advanced technology.
Not only can they carry out stable star-level travel, but they can also provide a setting that fits our bodily structures and is consistent with the world setting.”
“Dr. Novikov, what is our next objective?”
“First, let’s try to rendezvous with [Tesla]… After all, this is a medium to large Fate event involving five teams.
There is at least one Demon Team hidden among them.
In the early stages, it’s necessary to borrow the power of that Tesla kid to clear the disturbances on our exploration path.
I have already faintly sensed the scent of “Mythical-Level Contact”… There must be some kind of alien miracle hidden on this planet that I must obtain.”
…
Another location on the planet, at the top of a high-altitude hill.
An elongated interstellar spaceship emblazoned with the [Jakobs] company logo was landing in the snow.
While the team members inside the spaceship were donning the company-provided maneuverable space suits and some highly powerful thermal weapons, unbeknownst to them, a bald monk was already seated on the edge of the snowy hill.
In the standard Vajra posture, he was engaged in a special state of meditation.
About ten minutes passed.
The monk slowly opened his eyes and said softly, “This is a truly dangerous realm beyond… the danger factor is even higher than anticipated, the only option is to minimize casualties as much as possible.”
…
Hyperion spacecraft.
Breaking through the atmosphere along its predetermined trajectory.
In the laboratory.
Under the series of ‘assistance’ from Han Dong, Lord Maritzis slowly woke up from deep hibernation… After all, toads inherently possess hibernation capabilities, and with external assistance, she was put into a deep hibernation state she had never experienced before.
In reality, this sleep for Maritzis could have lasted three years.
The ‘Adaptability Combat Suit’ provided by Heberlion Company was worn by Maritzis, with the supple metallic material perfectly outlining the female characteristics.
The toad sprawled on top of her head transformed into a plain toad bracelet.
Maritzis slowly flipped back her damp curly hair, revealing a rather cute round face,
No toad warts to be seen, just some wave-patterned speckles on her facial skin,
At this point, she indeed looked almost no different from an ordinary person.
This image was completely different from the Ancestor Body in Han Dong’s memory.
To know, that Brain Rat in Perugia City, with its artful posture of four hands and four feet, still had some semblance of a human shape.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Its true form was entirely a derivative of brain tissue, hard to look at directly… and in the end, it even absorbed the entire garbage dump, transforming into an indescribable giant rat form.
Ancestor Return.
The concept involves casting aside all that is inherent, returning to the original form.
Han Dong had always imagined that when Maritzis lifted her hair, a native toad brain would be revealed… who knew it would be so cute, looking like the small round face of a middle school student.
“What are you looking at?! I simply retained a part of humanity in my genes at the request of Toad Ancestor.
This preservation allows me to masquerade as a human knight for secret infiltration and to minimize the crossing of the ‘Gate of Toad’, bringing back precious information about Fate.”
“Won’t such genetic retention cause ‘Ancestor Return failure’?”
Han Dong personally found the Demon’s evolution quite interesting, and since the subject had come up, he took the opportunity to continue the conversation.
“From the beginning, Toad Ancestor assigned me as a ‘Fate Infiltrator’… When I touched the thin layer of Ancestor Return, I extracted human genes in advance, completed the Ancestor Return transformation, and then reimplanted the genes into my body.
What, do you want to see my true form?”
To be honest, no matter how abstract its true form was, Han Dong was indeed curious to see it.
However, considering the risk of a ‘contamination leak’ once the true form was revealed… if other teams pinpointed the source of contamination, it would be real trouble.
“Haha, no need!
Lord Maritzis, let’s head to the bridge to meet up with the team. We’ll soon be reaching the planetary surface, and we need to perform a series of environmental adaptations and recon.”
“Remember, I only acknowledge you as a ‘teammate’, not anyone else.
Later on, there’s no need to use my full name and title every time, just call me [Mary] directly, to avoid sensitive titles like ‘lord’ being captured by some opponents with excellent hearing.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong secretly smiled to himself.
Clearly, the act of voluntarily displaying a Messenger’s identity had a significant effect.
To be precise, the ‘Yellow Robe Stance’ had given Mary Maritzis a tremendous amount of deterrence…
When the two arrived at the bridge area, the spacecraft had safely passed through the atmosphere.
Using the spacecraft’s built-in detection devices (up to fifty kilometers), they confirmed the absence of other companies’ interstellar spaceships around the landing spot.
The nuclear-powered plasma engine was adjusted to its lowest power setting. The propulsion shifted from horizontal to vertical, slowing the descent, and the ship smoothly landed in a jungle area with tall and robust trees.
To be on the safe side.
Everyone, according to their ingrained memories, donned the combat space suits provided by Heberlion Company.
This form-fitting and lightweight attire did not overly interfere with individual basic movements and also provided good long-distance communication capabilities as well as terrain capture and mapping functions, which were very useful for initial exploration.
“Although the atmosphere is relatively thin, the stable magnetic field also functions to shield most cosmic rays.
Breathing air is fine after filtering out excessive carbon dioxide.
Humidity, gravity coefficients, and other parameters aren’t much different from Earth’s either.”
Han Dong tried removing his helmet, modifying his lungs by inhaling the atmosphere.
Everyone else also took off their head covers in turn, gradually adapting their respiratory systems to the air of this planet.
Just as everyone’s attention was focused on adapting to the environment.
Rustle, rustle~
Noises of living creatures moving came from the woods.
As everyone was about to be on guard… whoosh!
Mia positioned herself defensively and was about to cast her web when her arm, ready to weave, was completely severed and thrown into the air.
Even her neck bore an extremely horrifying deep cut, about 2/3 deep… if her arm hadn’t been in front of her face at that moment, her head would have been gone.
