Apocalyptic Mechanist

[Confirmed · Primary Inspiration Mind]

[Initiating Thought Ascension...]

Jiang Xiao's vision flickered inexplicably, his thoughts seemingly soaring to a void of nothingness, where countless dazzling lights like bubbles stretched out endlessly.

Immediately after, a feeling akin to drowning washed over him, causing him to jolt awake!

[Thought Ascension Complete]

[Primary Inspiration Mind - When learning, researching, or thinking, there is a low probability of receiving related inspiration (within the scope of Primary Civilization knowledge - could be knowledge fragments, ideas, or directions)]

[Note: Do not rely on Inspiration Mind; inspiration only appears in the minds of those who diligently study and possess independent thinking abilities]

[Origin Data greatly enhanced, your learning and comprehension abilities have improved and broadened]

[You have acquired the basic innate talent from Origin Data - Primary Data Construction]

[Primary Data Construction: Through mechanical equipment, you can greatly extend the range of Origin Data, and can also perform coding and data intrusion (only effective against Primary Civilization equipment. The specific suppression range depends on Spirit Energy Intensity)]

[Note 1 - Innate talents cannot be upgraded independently; they require an increase in Spirit Energy and Source Energy Intensity levels]

[Note 2 - Programs encoded with Origin Data cannot be invaded, only interrupted and repelled. Constructing an Origin Data network consumes Spirit Energy]

[Note 3 - Data networks constructed with Origin Data can directly transmit any energy instantaneously and without loss]

Primary Data Construction?

Using Origin Data for coding and intrusion... Huh?

Jiang Xiao subconsciously looked up at the sky, then quickly lowered his head to continue reading. When his gaze fell upon Note 3, his pupils trembled violently.

What the heck, instantaneous energy transmission without loss?!

Holy crap, what kind of overpowered effect is this!

"No, now's not the time to think about this. There are still spectators waiting for me outside." Jiang Xiao suppressed his thoughts.

After familiarizing himself with his greatly increased power, Jiang Xiao turned around with a chilling smile.

Several minutes ago.

RUMBLE!!!

A terrifying roar, like a dragon's bellow, kicked up billowing dust that swept out from within the market!

Blue and white lightning suddenly flashed within the buildings, the entire cubical structure trembled violently, and conspicuous cracks spread across the walls. The surrounding criminals even felt the ground beneath their feet shake abruptly.

"Is this truly the extent of individual strength?!"

"Tier 2 Peak has such terrifying power? Causing a localized earthquake??"

Numerous aliens were stunned, their eyes filled with dread as they looked towards the Wicked Soul Market. Although they had heard tales of Tier 2 Peak's power, this was the first time they had witnessed such destructive force firsthand!

Unlike the other aliens who stood in stunned silence, the Viper Race criminals, after a brief hush, erupted into boisterous cheers.

"Hahaha! This is the power of our Viper Race, the strongest race on Prison Star!!"

"That Old Capital Killing God, he was so arrogant back in Sin City, it's only because the Viper Gang wasn't serious. Who gave him the confidence to provoke Viper Second Master!"

"Viper Second Master!!"

Not many criminals noticed that Kliffen, who was broadcasting, had, at some point, put away his smile and narrowed his eyes as he looked towards the Wicked Soul Market.

'Based solely on Viper Second Brother's life foundation (Talent Value) and 99 Source Energy Intensity, he shouldn't possess this level of destructive power...'

'Things are getting more interesting.'

Kliffen's expression shifted, and he once again shouted excitedly, "It seems the most spectacular battle in Sin City for the past decade has concluded!"

Through the holographic projections spread throughout Sin City, Kliffen's voice echoed continuously in the city and at the venue.

As Kliffen's shouts reverberated in their ears, the three Hall Masters and teams of multiple Tier 2 and Tier 1 martial artists smiled, gazing expectantly at the market exit shrouded in dust.

As expected, a familiar, sturdy figure gradually emerged from the dust.

Kliffen's voice grew more excited.

"The earth trembles, buildings crack, the blue and white light is like a harbinger of death. This is the true battle of the brave, a scene that 99.9% of Sin City's cowards cannot reach!

Now, let us welcome Sin City's new legend—"

As the sturdy figure in the dust drew closer, a faint, almost imperceptible red glow flickered to life.

The smiles of the three Hall Masters grew even more excited. Li Yuan, appearing on a nearby rooftop, saw this scene and his face immediately turned pale.

"Too late..."

Kliffen looked down at the venue through the camera, a wide grin on his face.

"—The Old Capital Killing God!"

Hiss!

The instant Kliffen finished speaking, A dark red streamer, like the spear of a grim reaper, suddenly tore through the dust and smoke, piercing through the body of the Blade Armor Race Hall Master!

Carrying its still potent power, it plunged into the crowd of criminals, erupting in a cloud of bloody mist!

As the streamer dispersed the dust, a burly figure finally emerged.

It was indeed Gulab—scorched and tattered, with twisted limbs, it was Gulab!

A figure, seemingly unharmed, held Gulab by the arm and casually tossed him out of the Wicked Soul Market, smashing him like garbage in front of the three major gang teams.

Hum! The chainsaw sword buzzed to life, and a silver-blue mechanical construct hovered beside him.

Facing the stunned alien criminals, Jiang Xiao bared a sinister grin:

"Next, let's play a battle royale here too."

"You run, I'll kill. Hahahaha!!"

Chapter 42: How Could There Not Be a Place for Pan-Humans? (4k)

"You run, I'll kill. Hahahaha!!"

The wild laughter still vibrated in the air as Jiang Xiao's figure vanished into a black afterimage.

The buzzing chainsaw sword glowed red as it charged towards the remaining two Hall Masters, while the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon transformed into a streamer, streaking past the enemy ranks and charging towards the tens of thousands of criminals in the distance!

Hum! Boom!!!

The yellowish rays swept across the criminal horde, reaping them like a grim reaper's scythe. Some martial artists could still struggle to dodge the first volley, but ordinary criminals turned into charred corpses and scattered remains before they could even scream.

Wails and screams mingled, and hundreds of criminals died in this single attack.

Whether ordinary criminals or Tier 2 Peak martial artists, they were as fragile as ants against such an assault.

As soon as one round of attacks ended, the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon's second volley followed!

Only now did the tens of thousands of criminals understand what had happened. Disbelief and immense fear washed over them, horror etched on every criminal's face.

"H-how is this possible? Viper Second Master is actually dead!!"

"Damn it! The Old Capital Killing God is going to kill us all!"

"Ah!!"

Fierce explosions rocked the area, like an reinforced artillery regiment bombarding them, with fire and death everywhere.

Meanwhile, in the center of the venue, Jiang Xiao, multitasking, wielded the overloaded chainsaw sword in one hand and the overloaded Black Dragon sniper rifle in the other, ferociously suppressing the Viper Gang's Seventh Hall Master and the Dragon Fang Gang's Hall Master!

The strongest of the three Hall Masters, the Blade Armor Hall Master, had already been killed by a single shot from the maximally overloaded Black Dragon. The remaining two Hall Masters had a Source Energy Intensity of at most 80, and their Talent Values were less than half of Jiang Xiao's. Facing Jiang Xiao, who was empowered by both Spirit Energy and Source Energy, they were completely at a disadvantage.

Bang!!

Holding the Black Dragon in one hand, he swung it out, and a regular Tier 2 Viper Race member, unable to dodge, had its head explode into a bloody mist. Then, the chainsaw sword in Jiang Xiao's hand buzzed and slashed towards the Seventh Hall Master, whose face was still in a daze.

Driven by a survival instinct, the Seventh Hall Master instinctively counterattacked, but his mind still refused to believe that Gulab was dead!

That was a Tier 2 Peak, one of the top existences in Sin City, a Gulab who could withstand the focused fire of hundreds of electromagnetic firearms, cannons, and even individual rocket launchers without injury.

How could he have died so easily?

It was certain that the Old Capital Killing God's Source Energy Intensity was still within the Tier 2 Elite range.

Suddenly, it seemed to understand something, its expression becoming utterly stunned, forgetting even its fear.

"Esper..."

Jiang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and his Origin Data surged rapidly!

Squelch!

The red-glowing chainsaw sword instantly tore through the Seventh Hall Master's Source Energy Aura, spraying blood and gore. The Seventh Hall Master was sliced vertically in half, his internal organs and blood slowly spilling from the two halves of his corpse.

[Killed... Obtained 3302 Experience Points]

Seeing this, the Dragon Fang Hall Master felt fear and wanted to escape.

Hundreds of gang members from the three gangs held electromagnetic rifles and weapons, desperately firing at the rapidly moving Jiang Xiao. However, they either couldn't hit him at all, or their shots were easily blocked by the Source Energy Aura surrounding Jiang Xiao!

Ignoring the harassing alien gang members, Jiang Xiao suddenly closed in on the Dragon Fang Hall Master. The Black Dragon fired three shots in quick succession. Two were predicted and dodged by the Dragon Fang Hall Master.

The last shot sealed off all of the Dragon Fang Hall Master's escape routes!

Facing the terrifyingly fast shuttle bullet, the Dragon Fang Hall Master had no way to evade. Its Source Energy Aura, already depleted by more than half, was directly blasted apart by the bullet, and its massive, walrus-like body was blown open with a bloody hole!

[Killed... Obtained 3520 Experience Points]

All three Tier 2 Elite Hall Masters were now dead!

Covered in blood, Jiang Xiao showed no intention of stopping. He immediately turned and charged towards the Viper Gang ranks, which were beginning to scatter.

Without the slightest pause, he cut a Tier 2 regular Viper Race member in half at the waist with his sword and then stomped on its head, crushing it.

He then plunged into the ranks of over a thousand Viper Gang members, stirring up a bloody storm.

In the distance, the rays from the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon flashed like beams of death, like the opening lights of a grand spectacle.
