Plundering Across the Cosmos

*Upload speed is unspecified, I will upload whenever I have free time.* *DISCLAIMER* This is NOT my original novel. I found it on an MTL website and found it fun and interesting so I decided to go down the rabbit hole and edit it with proper English (to the best of my abilities) so that others could enjoy it too. I changed the names for a lot of things, rewrote many others, and tried to make this story read as fluently as possible. If I'm being honest, the whole novel may have been exciting in its original language, but it isn't in English. So like I said before, I'm pretty much rewriting this novel to my liking, still following the original plot and story, but adding A LOT to it. So it technically is a fanfic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. If you guys want to go read the original MTL, its original author was "banana too dog" under the original title of "I Plunder Endlessly In the Interstellar Age" *END OF DISCLAIMER* In the interstellar era, gangs and predators run rampant across the galaxy. Ajax, a skilled artisan crafting energy blocks, finds himself at the bottom of society, subjected to relentless bullying. He plunges into the shadows to ensure his survival, ultimately joining a notorious gang. Ajax stumbles upon a remarkable discovery along his journey – a super warship capable of upgrading limitlessly, given the availability of resources. With this newfound power, he establishes the infamous bandit gang "Reapers." This marks the beginning of an era characterized by endless plundering and ruthless exploits.

Chapter 24

Feeling the tenderness from the depths of his head, Ajax's field of vision merged with the mech's.

"Self-examination," Ajax ordered.

"Self-examinaiton complete."

Class: Warlock

Type: Bezerker

Durability: 78%

Energy value: 100%

Accessories: None

Weapons: None

Chassis Capabilities: Inactive

Ajax hadn't had the time to tidy up this mech since it was repaired. There were still a few things that hadn't been completely repaired, so its durability value is not 100%, and the accessories and weapons have yet to be installed.

The energy source has been changed, from green to blue, using the energy blocks that had been taken from the warehouse of the repair shop. Although the blue energy block can't withstand the super consumption of a Warlock-Level mech, it can at least last longer than the green energy block.

It was too late to replace the weapons and accessories right now, Bomen and his men were in danger, so he could only rely on the weapons that came with the mech to fight.

In addition to the 15mm minigun on the left arm that can change shape, this mech was also equipped with a particle compression cold cannon on its chest. It's just that Ajax had to take it easy since these two self-contained weapons consume a lot of the mech's energy.

If used to the maximum values, it is estimated that a group of blue energy blocks would only be able to fuel it for about ten minutes...

After the adjustment, Ajax controlled the mech and left the trash compartment.

He was 70 meters directly opposite the bar and the people besieging the bar had their backs turned to him. He launched a sneak attack from behind, and he would definitely kill a lot of them before they could react.

But Ajax didn't plan to kill people first. Compared with those of flesh and blood, mechs and vehicles were the biggest threat.

Ajax activated the particle compression cold cannon on his chest and aimed at the mech that was suppressing the bar.

As the chest armor parted, a ray of blue light condensed in a conical muzzle. After the compression is completed, the blue light turns into red light, and it shoots out from the muzzle, forming a huge beam of light, hitting the locked mech right in the middle.

In less than half a second, the mech at the receiving end had a half-meter hole bored through its cockpit, deactivating, and promptly buckling to the ground, instantly killing its pilot and becoming a pile of scrap metal.

Ajax was taken aback by its power. An attack from a Warlock-Level mech was so devastating.

Originally, he was worried that he might not be able to defeat a mech and a tank, but seeing this gave him a confidence boost.

At this time, the people besieging the bar discovered Ajax's existence. The instant destruction of their own mech had them puzzled and terrified at the same time.

"There's someone behind us! Open fire! Suppress him!" The crowd shouted and turned their guns.

Ajax regarded them as nothing and ran towards the cumbersome tank the moment he killed the mech. Anyway, apart from scratching the paint, ordinary bullets couldn't cause any damage to a Warlock-Level mech.

Sensing the threat, the tank also turned its dual machine guns, intending to return to fire. However, Ajax was too fast for it, and he ran to the side of the tank in an instant, jumped over it, yanked the dual machine guns with both hands and ripped it off the tank.

The tank, having lost its main weaponry was no longer a threat to Ajax, and the pilot inside looked helpless. Ajax punched the front glass of the tank, and the strong tempered glass cracked like a spider web.

The tank driver was knocked unconscious as his head banged against the inside of the tank.

"Fuck! Get rid of him! Get rid of him now!" The people besieging the bar became anxious.

The only mechs and vehicles on their side were destroyed in less than 20 seconds by a mech that appeared out of nowhere, and things were quickly turning sideways for them.

The desperate Bomen with his men in the bar also noticed that there was someone outside helping them and began to open fire again.

Ajax also took advantage of the situation and came over to meet them, switched the attack mode with his left arm, started his 15mm minigun, and opened fire at the place with the most concentrated firepower.

Blue lasers spewed out from Ajax's left hand, and several of the men besieging the bar were pulverized unable to dodge in time.

"Get in my truck! I'll cover you! Hurry!" Ajax pointed to his garbage truck with his right arm.

Although the besiegers of the bar had run out of heavy weapons, they still had a lot of manpower left, and after his continuous attacks, the mech's energy was reduced by nearly 70%, and he wouldn't be able to provide cover fire for much longer. It would be best to withdraw while they have the chance.

"Go, Go, Go!" Bomen ordered his few remaining subordinates. He didn't know why Ajax was helping them, but he wasn't about to start asking questions.

Under the cover of Ajax, Bomen jumped into the garbage truck with his subordinates and drove out after starting it.

Ajax scanned the battlefield one last time before running after the garbage truck, making a hasty retreat.

The garbage truck turned left and swayed and drove for more than 20 minutes before stopping in front of a huge electric alloy door.

There were barbed wire fences around and many buildings inside with differing heights and shapes. There are also watchtowers and armed personnel patrolling.

Seeing an unknown vehicle approaching the mech, the people on the observation deck immediately sounded the alarm, and a team of armed personnel quickly surrounded it.

"It's me! Open the damn door!" Bomen stretched out his left hand from the cab to show his identity.

"Boss?!" The patrol officers were taken aback and hurriedly pressed the switch of the electric door.

The people around were also full of doubts. Bomen had left with a group of people in five or six cars, so why did he come back in a garbage truck? And what was with the mech behind it?

Watching his garbage truck drive in, and scanning the surrounding environment, Ajax quickly followed suit.

As the electric door closed, people started swarming and pointing their weapons at Ajax's mech.

At this time, Bomen also jumped out of the garbage truck dragging his injured arm.

"Boss, what's the situation? Where are our remaining brothers?" A long-haired young man who seemed to have a good relationship with Bomen ran over.

"They're all dead. People from the Viper Mercenaries ambushed us in the bar and even used mechs and tanks. Fuck!" Bomen slammed his fist on the truck's door with a fierce look on his face.

"Viper Mercenaries? Didn't we repel them a few days ago? Did they come back again? How did they know where you were?" The long-haired young man was surprised.

"They were probably coordinating with another organization and came back to seek revenge on us," Bomen spat out a mouthful of blood, "I need a cigar? Bring me a cigar!"

The subordinate next to him hurriedly took a cigar and lit it for Bomen who took a deep breath and relaxed a little, as if the injured shoulder didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Where are they? I'll call my men back and go out to kill them; we must eradicate them!" The long-haired young man took out his Vox and was about to call someone.

"It's too late." Bomen waved his hand, "Notify our men outside immediately and tell them to be careful; something might happen."

"Alright, but sir, what is this mech?" The long-haired youth pointed at Ajax.

Speaking of this, Bomen went straight to Ajax, cupped his fists respectfully, and bowed his head: "Thank you, for your rescue. Can you come out and talk?"
