My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 446 - 439: Extermination! The Unification of Extraordinary Standards!

"Rest assured on your journey."

Ma Ran’s eyes were indifferent, yet the Tang Blade in his hand never paused for a moment.

In the pitch-black vacuum environment, the blade light spun, flickering endlessly.

"The entire Zhang Heng Civilization will accompany you on the Yellow Springs Road today."

Before meeting, Ma Ran was somewhat worried about this so-called "Sea Demon Civilization."

After all, it was a civilization that used super life forms like Sea Demon Feng Yuji as test subjects, and its technological level should be higher than Earth’s.

However...

After meeting Zhang Heng, the fear from the unknown completely vanished.

He was merely a ninth-rate cosmic scientist who upheld the philosophy of "big is good, more is beautiful, and quantity is justice."

True top-tier scientists study the mysteries of laws, the truth of civilization’s birth and death, and cosmic laws. In most cases, destroying a civilization requires only a drop of "water."

Zhang Heng, whose brain was shattered, did not die immediately.

His entire body was left with only one eyeball, barely remaining intact, showing a hint of viciousness and embarrassment.

Zhang Heng knew very well that Ma Ran was a man of his word.

He did what he said he would do.

The destruction of his body and soul here was not important.

The real issue was...

If he offended someone as petty as Ma Ran to death, could his civilization really escape the Solar System?

Zhang Heng’s thoughts froze on this final notion.

The next moment, Ma Ran’s figure flickered and vanished without a trace.

...

Beyond Mars.

In a spherical space fortress, Ma Ran’s figure suddenly appeared.

Originally, with the instant teleportation skill developed by Ma Ran, even using the aura of the previously killed Zhang Heng as a coordinate to deduce the base, finding Zhang Heng’s headquarters was very difficult.

After all, the vast cosmos was immense and boundless. Even within the Solar System, the probability of Ma Ran, depleting all his energy reserves to find Zhang Heng Civilization’s headquarters, was less than one percent.

However...

Luck played a crucial role, forcibly turning the less than one percent probability into a high-probability event, allowing Ma Ran’s second "random instant teleportation" to bring him directly to Zhang Heng’s headquarters.

Luck, to Ma Ran, seemed similar to strength; it could be consumed and gradually recovered over time as an attribute.

At Wudang Mountain, after drinking that bowl of Brotherhood Wine and receiving feedback from his ability to "play," Ma Ran’s luck limit far exceeded the bounds that ordinary Earth humans could reach.

As luck diminished to its lowest point, Ma Ran vaguely felt a sense of misfortune enveloping him, even affecting his star power, which seemed to run less smoothly.

Forcing cultivation in this state easily led to deviation.

However...

Upon returning to Earth, his luck, connected to the fate of famous mountains, would quickly normalize and reach a high state.

"Interesting."

Ma Ran noticed that the entire Zhang Heng Civilization fortress was pure white, giving a cold and serious impression.

Inside this fortress, countless life forms that shared the same face as Zhang Heng were working intently and methodically.

Logistics, experiments, combat, training...

Each Zhang Heng had their own role, maximizing work efficiency without any sign of shirking.

"So that’s how it is."

After carefully observing for a while, Ma Ran understood the essence of Zhang Heng Civilization’s existence.

"It’s somewhat like an ant colony, yet without a queen, only a central hive."

"This space fortress is the central hive, coordinating all the Zhang Hengs, integrating and allocating their information and energy."

"Inside the fortress, there are seventy-six thousand human-shaped Zhang Hengs and three hundred fifty-four thousand five hundred non-human Zhang Hengs."

"The Zhang Heng Civilization follows an elite flow style, not having a vast number; otherwise, eliminating them would indeed be troublesome."

Because the "Zhang Heng Hive" is a half-mechanical, half-life form, Ma Ran’s powerful spiritual power could influence it.

Upon meeting, without saying a word, Ma Ran directly plunged a spiritual power scalpel into the depths of the other’s consciousness, obtaining a lot of useful information.

Wandering in the extraordinary world means that if you make a promise, you must keep it.

Without wasting a word, Ma Ran drew his blade and began the slaughter.

The blade light was sharp, blood splattered, and screams filled the air.

Throughout the fortress, broken limbs and bodies lay everywhere.

"Damn it! Who is this guy? Where’s the battle department? Quickly deal with him!"

"His name is Ma Ran, codenamed ’Prophet,’ the currently top superpower individual from Earth Civilization. Zhang Heng No. 13 provoked him, so he came for revenge."

"Damn it! Why didn’t they do a thorough investigation and analysis before provoking an enemy? After ensuring a success rate of one hundred percent, wouldn’t it be better to capture experimental material?"

"How many times have we suffered losses like this? It’s been said countless times, don’t provoke those evil and vengeful beings! If you must offend, only offend those broad-minded good people, those Holy Mothers! We’re all Zhang Heng, how did No. 13 become so brainless?"

"It’s not No. 13’s fault; Ma Ran hid too well, and based on his past behavior, he didn’t seem like someone who bears grudges."

"Report the situation of each unit."

"Logistics department is one hundred percent paralyzed."

"Intelligence department’s database and related machines are all destroyed."

"Heritage department’s personnel mortality rate is ninety-nine point ninety-five percent."

"Combat department personnel, aside from me, have all perished."

"The hive’s destruction rate is one hundred percent, all mobile bases and regenerating spores are destroyed and cannot be remanufactured unconditionally. Zhang Heng Civilization is about to perish. This is the final message from the hive, will not be repeated. Thank you for your sincere cooperation over the millennia. Zhang Heng, farewell forever."

Bang!

The space fortress exploded open.

Beyond Mars, a brilliant cosmic firework suddenly blossomed like an ephemeral flower, immediately retracting its splendor, wilting, and decaying, turning to cosmic dust.

The luck from the Brotherhood Wine, combined with the star power derivative of the "Burning Martial" Twenty Ranks, collectively supported Ma Ran in accomplishing the feat of annihilating a civilization.

Zhang Heng Civilization was entirely exterminated.

"What a pity."

Ma Ran let out a sigh.

Next to Mars, after slaughtering over four hundred thousand lives, his emotions did not waver in the slightest. Only in the final moments, the performance of Zhang Heng Hive exceeded Ma Ran’s expectations.

Despite falling short in spiritual power purity and application techniques, it relied purely on a mysterious technique called "Memory Self-Destruction Technique," rapidly obliterating most valuable intelligence before perishing.

Although Ma Ran attempted first-time salvage, he managed to retrieve only some genetic enhancement data.

Though incomplete, when combined with the Genetic Optimization Potion Technology obtained from the Eternal Civilization, they complemented each other, likely paving the way for a new extraordinary route.

"Burning Martial, Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, Superpower, Mecha, Gene."

The purple-red Straight-Blade Tang Blade in Ma Ran’s hand dissipated in the vacuum, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"The five major extraordinary systems..."

"After returning to Earth, it’s time to formally unify the extraordinary metrics."
