You must understand that the equipment carried by this band of mercenary warriors was nothing extraordinary, just early obsolescence goods, such as the Type 54 handguns whose effective killing range was less than 100 meters—hyperbolically speaking, the muzzle velocity was only a few times faster than a stone thrown by an ordinary person. The effective range of the assault rifles was only 400-500 meters, and their effectiveness varied with the wind direction; the only weapons truly capable of long-range destruction were the heavy sniper rifles, this kind of anti-material equipment mostly had an effective range of over a thousand meters, and the technological force carried over from modern warfare merely added characteristics like ammunition penetration depth on the original basis, essentially no different from old-fashioned equipment.

With these things, they had more than enough to handle ordinary people but how many ordinary people came to this satellite? It was merely adding restrictions and fighting alongside these guys was inferior to operating alone.

After a brief consultation, the team quickly divided into five groups, with an average of over thirty people each departing on their respective equipment... there were also those who traveled on foot, such as Sky Shadow, who didn't choose to team up with others. To a certain extent, based on Sky Shadow's pride, he disdained cooperating in combat with such a rabble.

Just as Sky Shadow had begun to move, Angelina intercepted him first, "Where do you think you're going alone?"

"I have my own arrangements, follow the original plan and don't worry about me," Sky Shadow said without turning back.

"We are the strongest combat force in the team, operating amongst these five squads enhances efficiency and intimidation."

Sky Shadow had indeed consulted Angelina and the others about the plan of action, which was a basic duty as a reconnaissance personnel and a plan Sky Shadow thought was very feasible, but it did not include himself.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, teaming up with them only lowers my combat efficiency, to be honest, I wouldn't advise you to go with them either."

"What, you don't care about their lives?"

"Do you think I care? Anyone coming here should at least be prepared to die, so don't pretend to be benevolent and righteous. You only care about the success rate of the mission, am I wrong?" Sky Shadow seemed to see through Angelina's heart as he looked straight at her, leaving Angelina frozen in place for a long time...

With that said, Angelina truly had no retort; upon self-reflection, was it the lives of these people she cared about, or the completion rate of the mission?

Sky Shadow did not linger on this issue, only leaving a remark before swiftly fleeing into the state of "Air Travel"—the mission itself wasn't important to Sky Shadow, or at least, not entirely. As for searching for fragments of the warship, only fools would collect them in this inefficient manner.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, at this moment, Sky Shadow's form flitted through the void like electricity. Within just over ten minutes, the detector picked up hints of warship materials, yet he ignored them and quickly wove past, heading directly towards the location of the Hell's Gate gathering group.

Boom! With the ground suddenly shaking, Sky Shadow appeared amid the crowd, his cold eyes sweeping over the small group from Hell's Gate, composed of just five members.

Upon seeing him, their expressions drastically changed and they swiftly grabbed their weapons, aiming at him.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...

With a smooth hand-chop, the group felt a half-moon flash briefly before their eyes, and to their astonishment, their weapons were neatly chopped in two under his hand-chop, described aptly as cutting through iron like mud. They didn't even feel any force, and yet their weapons were severed...

"I noticed you have warship materials, hand over what I want."

"You, who are you… we are collection personnel from Sena's military, are you trying to..."

The man hadn't finished speaking when Sky Shadow calmly interrupted, "Hand over the materials, and you can leave. I won't repeat it a third time."

The man wanted to say more, but the threat of death made a female explorer beside him immediately stop him, shaking her head gently as if hinting that this man was beyond their ability to handle, and turned to Sky Shadow, "You can have the warship material, but you must let us go."

"You don't have the right to negotiate. Of course, I'm also not interested in you."

Sky Shadow threw out two answers, the first meaning that those present didn't even have the right to refuse; he could kill first and loot later, and he disliked negotiations. The second undoubtedly showed that Sky Shadow did not want to waste time on these worthless individuals, so taking the materials, he wouldn't bother further.

"Okay, I accept."

This was indeed the only way out, just that hand-chop alone was enough to instantly kill everyone; unexpectedly, just over ten minutes after separating from the team, they had encountered such a formidable entity. This person's strength was at least beyond First-Order, clearly out of their league as third-rate combat personnel.

After collecting all the warship materials into the Space Crystal, Sky Shadow didn't even give another glance at the group. Following a burst, he instantly entered the state of "Air Travel," disappearing quickly under their stunned gazes.

Usually, the range of old radios varied from several kilometers to dozens of kilometers. Soon after Sky Shadow flew off, a communicator rang out with urgent alerts—somewhere coordinates indicated his team had encountered another unknown force, and combat was imminent, requesting immediate reinforcement.

Who knew that just two minutes later, the battle quickly ended—since the opposing gathering personnel numbered only about ten, they ultimately achieved a resounding victory.
