Shrinking the Circle
Qiu Ran's Aoneng [Natural Ignition] is not simply about controlling flames; it involves a certain degree of molecular thermal motion. Due to insufficient knowledge, Li Aoz was unable to expand its application.
However, destruction only requires basic physics knowledge.
The Overlord raised its claws, quickly creating a high-temperature field between its palms. A large amount of air was heated and accelerated, and in an instant, the fluid secreted by the Overlord Form fully combined with the air dust, mixing into a suspended aerosol.
Because of the riot caused by Ya Wen, the ground troops did not have time to assemble. Standing in such a large open space, even a fool would know that standing still was just waiting to die. The female agents fired wildly without caring about accuracy, and then turned around and crawled into the bunkers and carriages.
Li Aoz's operation was very skillful. He suddenly grabbed the mixture, which was in a critical state, and smeared it on the main monitor of the Mobile Armor. As an extension of the tank design, the Mobile Armor had the same weakness as the tank—the armor at the top was the weakest.
[Natural Ignition - Mode 1]
Purify impurities
The Aura Value was rapidly consumed, and the continuous heating instantly ignited the aerosol. The oxidation reaction was concentrated at the point where the aerosol was applied, so that the metal could be softened by the continuous high temperature. Li Aoz gently drew a circle, and the next moment, he punched the center of the circle!
Thump!
The mechanic, Yin Xifeng, screamed as a scorching hot metal plate struck her, instantly setting her military uniform ablaze. Seeing this, the vehicle commander pulled out his rifle and fired at Li Aoz. Li Aoz didn't linger; without Gravity Aura, he couldn't withstand more than a few bullets.
But before he looked up and left, he sprinkled a handful of dust.
Boom! The sudden increase in temperature and pressure triggered an explosion, and all crew members were instantly killed by the shockwave.
Nimoting was thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion, her mind reeling. "Are you kidding me—that was Mobile Armor! Destroyed so easily by a single person?"
Destroying a single Mobile Armor often requires three to four dedicated anti-vehicle units. Even using anti-tank missiles like the Javelin in top-attack mode, the cost of one missile is nearly 800,000 derbies, almost the same as the original cost of a mobile Mobile Armor.
A Mobile Armor capable of overturning and occupying a town with just one crew member, just like that... destroyed? Nimoting, or rather, the military industry insiders of Frostplate, had not yet realized the future development trend of Mobile Armor.
As for Li Aoz – he's dismantled at least 800,000 Space Marine-level Mobile Armor, and the most fundamental weakness of these Iron Turtle is their pilots.
If you're not a professional mechanic or Martial Artist piloting Mobile Armor, the pilot will never be able to keep up with the machine's performance, let alone a product like the Wolverine, which is a product inherited from the tank era.
Riding the force of the explosion, Li Aoz rose into the air. Facing the female agent firing at him from the ground, he moved like a ghost, switching positions of his left and right hands to heat and breathe fire, making rapid turns in the air. Then, amidst the tense gunfire of a female agent, the Dominator's Terror monster face suddenly appeared before her.
"Ugh—"
Before the female agent's pupils could constrict, fiery claws suddenly pressed down on her face. Li Aoz turned her around and shielded her in front of him, using her bulletproof vest and plates to block several lines of gunfire. The smell of burnt meat mixed with blood was incredibly sour and foul. When they had run out of ammo, a flame-like halo suddenly spread in Li Aoz's pupils. He threw the female agent, who had been riddled with bullets, forward to block their view, and then suddenly bent down and slammed his fist into the ground.
[Natural Ignition - Mode Two]
[Purge the World]
The scorching flames were injected into the earth, and the heat was rapidly transferred, causing the snow on the ground to vaporize into steam. The scorching steam confused the agents' thermal imaging sights. When they moved the Picatinny Rail sideways and used the Holographic Sight on the side of the gun, the air in the field in front of them was affected by the high temperature and quickly oxidized. Driven by the Aoneng, the density between air molecules diffused rapidly.
In physics, this situation is referred to as an explosion.
Boom—
The female agents of Law Enforcement Division Four were instantly thrown out by the surging steam. Then, lying on the ground, they clutched their necks, removed their filter masks, and tore at their tracheas. The surrounding oxygen had been burned away. Although they were exposed to the open snow, they showed symptoms of suffocation. No matter how hard they tried to breathe, they could only inhale the scalding steam, which burned their tracheas. In the end, in their desperate struggle, they collapsed to the ground and suffocated to death.
"Fire! He's not human!"
The gruesome deaths of their teammates deeply affected the agents of Law Enforcement Division Four, filling them with immense fear and dread. They threw bombs and grenades at Li Aoz's figure to suppress him with firepower, but because Li Aoz had destroyed the Mobile Armor, the firepower that was supposed to provide them ultimately turned into ordinary grenades and hand grenades.
Li Aoz remained calm and unhurried, moving lightly across the battlefield. With too few cover, these Law Enforcement Division Four Agent, lacking heavy firepower, were simply easy targets for him. Several uses of "Purge the World" covered the battlefield with surging lava, while the depletion of oxygen forced the Law Enforcement Division Four agents to flee their cover.
They would either be burned to death or suffocated by lack of oxygen.
The Outland was already dark and gloomy. They had already adapted to the dim visibility in the monotonous environment of the snowfield. The sudden burst of bright light and flames confused their vision. In the vast white snow, they could only vaguely make out a figure burning with flames.
But if Li Aoz squats down and doesn't move, they won't be able to see anything.
The high temperature distorted the thermal imaging, but the darkness and snow Outland did not turn Li Aoz into a sitting duck. Instead, amidst the rising flames, Li Aoz became the Grim Reaper who reaped these technological dwarfs.
He constantly changed positions, swallowing metal fragments, glass, and wooden planks. His mutated option, ' Iron Stomach,' could completely absorb these things, converting them into Aura Value, and then unleashing a ferocious fiery attack.
"Where is he! Where is he?!"
The agents of Law Enforcement Division Four were in a panic. They had faced ruthless killers or superhumans before, but they had never encountered anyone who Aoneng to this extent.
The dimly lit field of vision, the raging flames, and the constant explosions in the air gradually filled with a chilling and Terror atmosphere.
When the Law Enforcement Division Four discovered that their companions were dwindling, they were also horrified to find that not only were their cover disappearing, but their escape route was also vanishing. Lava was taking over the ground, and flames were rising everywhere with the wind. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire was propelled by the wind. The oxygen content in the air was constantly decreasing.
The ground beneath their feet was dwindling, and the snowflakes were nowhere near extinguishing the raging fire. If Li Aoz, engulfed in flames, stood in the fire, they would be completely blinded.
In the end, they discovered that in the face of flames, men and women were no different—just pieces of charcoal that would scream in agony.
The last female agent of Law Enforcement Division Four was driven to a dead end. The flames and the lava beneath her feet shrank into a very small circle, like an isolated island in the ocean, and it continued to shrink inward.
Unable to bear the burning flames and the feeling of waiting alone for death, she took out her pistol, put the barrel in her mouth, and pulled the trigger. The bullet shot out from the back of her head, ending her life cleanly and decisively.
"Great fortune, it seems I'm the only defender tonight."
Li Aoz deactivated his Overlord Form, reverting to his normal human appearance. He turned to look at Nimoting, who stood there dumbfounded, and smiled.
"Not awesome anymore?"
Clang!
The ammunition on the Mobile Armor exploded, causing it to kneel on the ground, which startled Nimoting so much that he almost jumped up.
what happens?
It took three minutes and thirty-two seconds for all 64 Law Enforcement Division Four Agent, along with the 'Wolverine' Mobile Armor, to be annihilated.
Nimoting didn't participate in the battle at all, not for any other reason than... the opponent's ability to casually unleash flames and create lava—for a melee assassin like her to rush in would be suicidal. She simply wanted to observe, since, given the firing range of rifles, the normal combat radius should be at least one or two hundred meters away, right?
As a result, in just 3 minutes and 32 seconds, everyone was burned to ashes.
Even pigs... couldn't be killed that quickly, let alone a group of well-equipped professional agents and war machines.
Compared to the swift slaughter of the Infant Eater, the agony of being burned alive is an extremely shocking sight, even to onlookers.
"I surrender!"
Nimoting immediately raised her hands, while gesturing to Agent Ya Wen, who was already hiding in the bunker: Stop hiding, come out and surrender.
At the same time, she was also puzzled: Didn't Li Aoz use force field Aoneng before? Why has he switched to fire now? Thinking of this, Nimoting's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, what kind of secret is this? And that inhuman posture just now—is Li Aoz trying to silence me?
