Suppression
The Grand Lord's right lower leg was completely severed.
Just as its massive body was about to collapse.
Sizzle sizzle...
The Grand Lord's pores expanded, releasing the steam accumulated in his internal mechanical devices during the battle, which naturally carried with it a deadly plague.
Han Dong shouted, "Wen Li! Get out of the way..."
Even if Winry's skin could withstand high temperatures, such high-temperature steam could still contaminate individuals by carrying deadly plagues.
Through vapor penetration, the plague will invade the subcutaneous tissue once it comes into contact with the skin.
Once it enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body, the corresponding contamination will affect the whole body... Wenli will inevitably be in mortal danger.
Sizzle!
When high-temperature steam is released centered on the Grand Lord.
Winnie successfully withdrew.
However, Han Dong was nowhere to be seen outside the steam-covered area.
The vapor contains black spores (spores are different from ordinary biological cells; they do not completely lose their enzyme activity due to high temperatures and can withstand temperatures up to 120°C).
Han Dong had no intention of retreating at all.
The Grand Lord's calf was completely destroyed, and even his regenerative abilities were sealed by Winry's flint.
With significantly weakened motivation, such a golden opportunity must not be wasted.
They wore "Plague Doctor Attire" to protect themselves from the high temperatures.
As for the black spores in the steam, they can be transformed by Han Dong into plague energy for his own use.
Han Dong was not greatly restricted in such a plague-stricken steam environment, and he was fine as long as his skin was not burned.
Who knew?
Just as he was about to fall due to loss of balance, the Grand Lord managed to stabilize himself at the last moment by using his arms and the other leg for support.
Click-clack-clack... The gears inside my spine are spinning at high speed.
Then, something unexpected happened.
The broken part of the Right Leg.
As a vapor was released, something seemed to be wriggling between the wounds.
Whoosh!
A series of tentacles grew out.
This is a mechanical tentacle with a metal casing and an internal gear structure.
About seven tentacles grew from the wound to replace the broken lower leg and completely stabilize the body as it tilted downwards.
Upon witnessing this scene, Han Dong immediately began to speculate and deduce.
"The Grand Lord lived in the early 19th century, so it's impossible for him to have possessed such mechanical technology... The physical modifications must have been done after he became Ghoul, that is, after the Dark Age began."
I have never heard of or found any experimental data related to the Grand Lord's transformation from Dr. Swollen.
This indicates that the Grand Lord's physical modifications were unrelated to Dr. Swollen and to Scientific Research within the Great Manor.
Could the intricate mechanical craftsmanship, the embedded unknown metal, and the meticulously carved barrier patterns within the Grand Lord's body originate from the "Old King" he serves?
They receive corresponding rewards through long-term service and the offering of sacrifices.
This is such a hassle.
The Grand Lord had regained his standing, immediately noticed Han Dong, who was unaffected by the steam plague.
"You're not afraid of the steam plague! The 'eye' on your head comes from some high being... Could it be that you, like me, are a human serving some 'king'?"
No... I am not like you.
You're a dog; I'm just self-taught, I've never served anyone.
The Grand Lord was not Life Force at Han Dong's provocation; on the contrary, he was unusually excited. "You have not served any king? That's good. I will not have any worries if I kill you."
If I could completely devour you, perhaps I could make your "eye" my own... At that time, I would complete my ascension and become a [Demon].
That's all.
The Grand Lord revealed his cruel and ruthless nature.
It extended its right arm, deflected the claws, and suddenly grabbed at Han Dong's body.
The plan is to pierce and tear apart Han Dong's body, leaving only his head, which contains the "eyes".
However, they were met with the oncoming giant arms and terrifying claws.
Han Dong showed no intention of dodging.
He actually chose to straighten his right arm, which has a 'G-eye', and take the hit head-on!
"See through"
At the critical moment, Han Dong made a decisive move.
He reached out and firmly grasped the claws, using the potential in his arm unleashed by the G-Virus to forcefully resist.
Boom!
Han Dong retreated about two meters, taking the blow of the Grand Lord's claw.
"With so much steam being released, is the internal power supply somewhat insufficient?"
Han Dong smiled as a high-level plague was released, creeping along the claws to reach the inner area of Grand Lord's fingers.
Han Dong seized the sharp claw and pulled it out forcefully!
Whoosh!
The black claws, more than a meter long, were pulled out by Han Dong, causing the Grand Lord to tremble and let out a painful scream.
at the same time.
A burning iron chain shot out from the periphery of the steam, wrapped around the Grand Lord's finger, and burned the wound.
Togu arrived.
Despite his internal injuries, Togu showed no sign of stopping; instead, he broke into a hearty smile despite the pain.
Covered in lava, it was naturally unafraid of plague vapors; any spores that got close to Togu's body were burned away.
"Togu! Use all your strength to suppress him..."
"Good!"
The eruption was so intense that every step Togu took left a trail of lava footprints on the ground.
Throw the chain with maximum force...
The thrown chain, like a sharp weapon, pierced directly through the Grand Lord's finger, which had no nail for protection, and went deep into the knuckle.
"Deep burning"
The intense heat of the lava spread throughout its body, Even Though with the protection of the metal layer, it was still Affliction.
Togu also grabbed the iron chain that was completely embedded in the Grand Lord's body with both hands, and temporarily suppressed the Grand Lord through the dual effects of 'strength' and ' Affliction '.
Keep him in a bent-over position with his arms outstretched.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Han Dong circled around to the back of the Grand Lord's neck and climbed up the metal spine.
His right hand gently rested on the back of the Grand Lord's head...
Crunch crunch!
To deal with such a giant-like individual, a tentacle a meter long grew from Han Dong's palm and pierced through his skull.
The spotted tentacles can penetrate any material, even the protective metal layer that guards the brain.
It wraps around and penetrates deep into the brain layers.
In an instant, the Grand Lord's two bean-sized pupils shrank further and became completely lifeless.
"Duoze Crow!!" Han Dong shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Caw caw caw..." The sound of the Duoze Crow came from one side, as if they had already completed their mission.
The steam dissipated.
"Winry! Let's drag the Grand Lord over there right now."
Han Dong and Togu, together with Wen Li, dragged the dazed Grand Lord with all their might toward the wall where Duoze Crow was.
Boom!
Touch the hidden compartments in the wall.
The wall moved, revealing a conduit capable of accommodating the Grand Lord's colossal Mother Form Conduit... a passageway for relocation.
Han Dong stood at the pipe entrance and shouted again, "Mia!"
A moment later, a response came from the bottom of the pipe. "Hurry! I can't hold on much longer! I've extended the mother's hibernation time as much as possible; she'll wake up in five minutes at most."
"Good!"
With everyone working together, the Grand Lord was pushed into the transmission tunnel... The plan is just one step away from completion!
