True Frenzy

The Crimson Queen stared intently at the other person, feeling a perfect fusion between herself and the power of fission emanating from him.

Like, her offspring born from fission?

She needs him.

"Hand over your power, and you can leave this place," the Crimson Queen issued her final ultimatum. Although the opponent's energy field was beginning to approach hers, it was still quite different from her own.

"I must refuse."

The Crimson Queen's eyes darkened, and the next moment, the blood-red stars in the sky began to shine brightly. The blood-red light, like a dyed cloth, rolled down, and the sky became the opening scene of a grand drama.

[You have been contaminated by flesh and blood radiation, HP -50 points/second, complication status: sepsis]

[You have been contaminated by flesh and blood radiation, HP -50 points/second, complication status: organ failure]

[You have been contaminated by flesh and blood radiation, health -50 points/second, with the following status: Energy Corruption]

The senior engineer's eyes also gleamed with a blood-red light, with countless invisible blood vessels protruding out, like a crimson garden in full bloom.

On the ground, in buildings, and in ruins, countless radioactive beasts began to wither, age, and die.

Although it started with low-level radiation beasts, even B-level radiation beasts began to let out uneasy roars.

Centered on the senior engineer, a crimson domain slowly unfolded, and a surge of blood and nutrients poured into his body, instantly filling his health to overflowing levels.

Similarly, when the senior engineer's crimson domain expanded onto the Crimson Queen, visible cracks began to appear on the Crimson Queen's body.

The same type of radiation contamination of flesh and blood also caused almost the same effect.

The finger-thick nerve bundle on the head of the Scarlet Queen also drooped down, like a small snake piercing into the blood and flesh mountain beneath her feet.

The next moment, the dozens or even hundreds of cracks on her body healed instantly.

The "blood-red stars" in the sky, the "blood-red curtain" in the air, and that huge crimson domain.

Using the will of the beast tide to artificially create a radiating ecosystem is a method that is truly shocking to outsiders.

"What's the situation now?" Xiao Tong's voice came through the earpiece. Due to the escalation of the beast tide to a terrifying level, not to mention electronic signals, even the human brain invaded by Cyber Hacker was experiencing severe lag.

"Well, the situation is still at a stalemate."

"Matsushi-kun, isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to show your skills!" came the stern voice of another major general, the old man Matsumoto.

Song Zhijun and the other expert exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat unnatural.

They infiltrated with two elite desert soldiers, intending to play a decisive role at a crucial moment.

They were confident they could do it, because the two deserts had a super elite force, with a number of high-ranking warriors that even exceeded the number of the Mountain's secret troops.

And now we've reached a critical moment.

Only--

Who would have thought that these two could create a radioactive ecosystem?!

Looking at the thousands of blood-red stars in the sky, and the crimson area that had expanded to the size of a city.

Both of them fell silent.

Although they are very strong, this level of mutated energy is so powerful that, let alone fighting, they could simply be worn down to death by standing still.

This is terrifying.

"Let's wait a little longer."

"Xiao Jun's word is final."

The Crimson Queen is around level 45 and should have three templates: a leader template, a radiation field template, and a template that controls the Flesh and Blood Carpet.

That's already terrifying enough, but what's even more crucial is that the other side has a special skill in civilization.

That is, the "Mutant Controller".

This will also be the standard equipment for the Beast God General in the future.

The bonuses from civilization specializations far exceed those of ordinary leader templates. From a civilizational perspective, the "Tide of Mutation" is also a civilizational change, only it is more disorderly and more dangerous.

Because the senior engineer had fused with the other party's flesh and blood cells, he was very clear about the power of this force.

In terms of combat power alone, the Knights' level 60 "Giant Kun" is no match for the Crimson Queen who now controls the beast tide.

The two beast tides clashed violently, and the senior engineer gradually felt immense pressure. As the "gender-swapped" Crimson Queen, the two enjoyed equal authority, but his physical body was far inferior to the other's, and he would be the first to be burst apart by the beast tide's power.

With this thought in mind, the senior engineer's demonic jets began to spin wildly all over his body, the carbon ion reactor in his chest shone brightly, and a beam of energy as thick as an arm shot out, colliding with the opponent's chest in the next moment.

The energy cannon reached ten times the speed of sound. At close range, even the Crimson Queen couldn't react instantly. Almost instantly, her upper body separated from her lower body.

Moreover, the energy weapons of a Level 2 civilization generally deal over 10,000 damage.

The Scarlet Queen's wound was burned directly into a thick scab, emitting blue smoke.

However, the next moment, a humanoid figure slowly emerged from the 'mountain of flesh', and in the process of emerging, facial features and flesh grew.

A new Scarlet Queen has been born once again.

"Is the third template 'The Undead'? This is troublesome."

Particle streams erupted from nozzles in various parts of his body, propelling Gao Gong into the air. Almost simultaneously, countless tentacles shot out, some hundreds of meters long and others nearly a thousand meters long, frantically swirling towards Gao Gong.

"Tsk tsk."

In mid-air, the engineer pressed down with one hand, and all the energy nozzles formed a super-large shockwave, layer upon layer. Amidst the sonic boom, countless tentacles were thrown back.

"You can't be sure that's all you can do. The reactor's energy can easily reach the atmosphere now."

The next moment, a sense of alarm rose in the engineer's heart. He saw that the tip of the tentacle that had been thrown away was pointing directly at him, and a dangerous light was shining on it.

Almost without hesitation, "Bullet Time" was used once again, and the figures overlapped within three meters.

Dozens of solidified energy guns flashed by in the phantom.

Some of these solidified energy guns disappeared into the horizon, some were stuck in the ground, creating the effect of air-to-ground missiles, and some landed in an abandoned building not far away, the violent shockwave directly blasting half of the building apart.

In lower-level civilizations, that is, civilizations below level three, energy weapons are divided into two categories. One is laser weapons, which are standard weapons of level two and three civilizations and are also very common among some interstellar mercenaries and space pirate groups. They possess all the characteristics of energy weapons.

Another type is the 'solidified energy weapon'.

Planetary creatures, that is, monsters below level 60, have developed energy organs thanks to the wonders of nature. However, the wonders of nature at the planetary level have their limits, and the intricate components of energy weapons cannot ultimately be "chopped" out.

Therefore, biological evolution has produced a special branch called "solidified energy weapons," which solidify energy in a special way to form a projectile weapon.

Furthermore, since energy is not a stable state structure, it cannot be launched in stages like an intercontinental ballistic missile, which means its speed can only be controlled below Mach 10.

However, at close range, its explosive power far exceeds that of guided weapons.

Even within the aftershock range, the damage can reach several thousand points, making it a standard case of instant death upon contact or being hit.

Without hesitation, the senior engineer added 7 free attribute points to Perception.

Perception success reached 56 points.

[Your perception has reached 50 points, granting you enhanced nervous system]

[Please select three enhancement directions: chain-like neural distribution, high-energy neural bundles, and neural manipulation]

The "chain-like neural distribution" is like a neural radar, ten times more efficient than ordinary radar.

"High-energy neural bundles" are a must-have attribute for certain special professions in some civilizations, such as Jedi Knights, which is how the blade-splitting laser attack came about.

'Neuromanipulation' is the direction of biological manipulation, similar to a certain brain flower.

Without the slightest hesitation, the senior engineer chose the 'chain-like neural distribution'.

The next moment, the senior engineer felt as if countless eyes had grown all over his body. These "eyes" extended outward in a straight line from their perspective, forming "bead strings" that together constituted a wide-ranging neural network.

The next moment, the senior engineer deliberately did not use "bullet time". His figure suddenly stopped, a black shadow flashed past his nose, and a terrifying explosion came from not far away.

"Mach 3, no, close to Mach 4."

"You seem quite adept at it."

However, when the senior engineer "saw" the Scarlet Queen holding a bright red spear and staring coldly at him, he didn't hesitate and activated "bullet time"!

The sonic boom is no longer similar to an old-fashioned popcorn machine, but a long, straight line. You can't even hear it from outside, but if you get close to this white line, the strong vibration can rupture your eardrums.

"A regular energy spear travels at Mach 4, but can a hand-crafted energy spear reach Mach 8? That's terrifying."

The senior engineer also understood that the Crimson Queen in her normal state was only half as skilled at making spears as she was now. After all, even in the Iron Sand Desert, she was not the strongest; she could only be considered the leader of an ordinary criminal gang. However, if the beast tide was successfully launched, she could be promoted to the level of a 'regional manager' and officially begin her pyramid scheme career.

After confirming the intensity of the opponent's attack, the senior engineer began his counterattack. In addition to the reactor energy column on his chest, the 'energy nozzles' on various parts of his body also spewed out streams of high-temperature particles. Whenever the light shone in the high sky, a part of the tentacle was cut off or burned through a large black hole.

It's worth mentioning that, just like the radiation energy gun, the "high-temperature particle stream" cannot be considered a level 2 energy weapon. Its damage "can only" reach three or four thousand, and it does not possess the "energy compression" characteristic of energy weapons, so it naturally lacks its penetrating power.

Although both of them are known for their melee combat skills, they both chose to fight from a distance.

Besides the trend of kinetic weapons being replaced by energy weapons, another reason is that attacks on vital points and weak points are no longer very effective against monsters with such strong regenerative abilities.

On the contrary, if you are not careful, the other party may invade your body.

The senior engineer used this trick to kill Demon Mountain.

The Crimson Queen must have used this tactic to deal with many powerful radiation beasts.

We're all seasoned foxes; who doesn't know how to flirt?

The real battle takes place at the level of the beast tide.

Xiao Jun and Matsumoto Jun kept a close eye on the battlefield. In addition to the dazzling battle between the man and the beast, they also gradually noticed that the sky seemed to be undergoing drastic changes.

A radiant sun suddenly appeared, its intense heat and radiation dazzling. However, the next moment it was as if a celestial dog had devoured the sun, tearing it apart with its invisible maw and quickly swallowing it whole.

The next moment, a thunderous roar resounded, and the sky seemed to be cleaved in two by a knife, with a huge crack appearing in the white sky.

Then, under the influence of the beast tide, the rift quickly healed.

As the intense radiation fluctuations began, a light drizzle started, followed by heavier rain.

This rainwater is nuclear wastewater. Not to mention drinking it, just letting it fall on your skin will cause excessive radiation and lead to all sorts of diseases.

Even with such heavy rain, the clouds remained dark and gloomy, without even a rumble of thunder or lightning.

"Electronic rain, it's been so many years since I've seen it," Mr. Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.

The scene of a radiation desert is not the norm on this planet.

Cold, damp, and cool-toned are the characteristics of civilization on this planet.

Whenever the electronic rain falls, all the electrical appliances in the machine city malfunction, especially some small vendors who don't have the money to install retractable shielded rain curtains, so they scatter like wolves whenever it rains.

The vendors no longer call out "Bring in the laundry when it rains," but rather "Turn off the appliances when it rains."

Meanwhile, the employees of those giant corporations sitting in high-rise buildings can watch with schadenfreude as these unemployed people look so pathetic.

Although these people haven't been home for a long time either.

The falling of "electronic rain" also signifies that, at least in some parts of the desert, the radiation ecosystem has failed for a short period of time.

The senior engineer and the Crimson Queen frantically absorbed the power of the beast tide, while the beast tide also frantically absorbed the radiation rays in the surrounding environment, converting them into mutated energy.

The radiation was almost completely gone.

Both forces have reached their limits.

The boundless radiated beasts began to roar, as if to aid in the battle, or perhaps it was just pure howling.

The ground was covered in a dark mass.

In the sky, the colors changed, half blood red and half pale red. The sedimentary clouds seemed to have taken on two shapes as well. One side was layered, like an illusory, boundless carpet of flesh, while the other side was a monster pieced together from a dozen high-level radiated beasts, with the wings of a Reaper, the spine of an Ironback Wyvern, the tail of a Rainbow Bird Dragon, the carpet of flesh of a Crimson Queen, the cracks on the body of a Fission Duke, and other high-level genes from the 'Beast God General Concoction Liquid'.

After the sedimentary clouds on both sides had reached their limit, they finally collided. The next moment, a blinding light burst out in the sky, like 100,000 flashbangs exploding at the same time, or like the explosion of ten invisible nuclear bombs.

The stalemate lasted for a full three minutes, during which no fewer than ten thousand low-level radiated beasts exploded and died because they could not withstand the terrifying pressure.

The blood-red sedimentary cloud had the upper hand, but it did not gain an overwhelming advantage. In fact, due to the homology of some genes, the opponent would occasionally steal some of its power.

However, the Scarlet Queen seemed to have anticipated this situation. The mountain of flesh below slowly cracked open, and the terrifying charred giant reappeared.

Stimulated by a large amount of energy, the charred giant developed more and more cracks, even on its small, hill-like head. Within these cracks, the radiation level of the Fission Duke rose wildly, and after reaching an extreme point, it exploded.

The violent shockwave covered an area of hundreds of miles.

As if a small nuclear bomb had exploded, a giant energy figure flashed and disappeared in mid-air.

With the help of this 'humanoid energy', the blood-red sedimentary cloud contracted wildly, condensing into a gigantic 'Crimson Queen'. A pillar-thick crimson spear slammed into the 'Assembled Beast's' body, and multicolored light overflowed from the 'illusory beast', all of which were various 'radiated ecosystems' that were split apart by this spear.

After merging with the power of the Fission Duke, the Crimson Queen's bio-lance is no longer just an energy weapon; it also seems to possess a trace of the power of rules, such as energy fission.

The moment the "giant beast" exploded, a human figure shot down like a missile. Although it spread its three pairs of wings halfway through the flight, the violent impact still created a large crater when it hit the ground.

Three pairs of wings flapped, and three pairs of alien claws slowly twisted. The remaining beast tide energy in his body allowed Gao Gong's injuries to heal rapidly.

However, the fact that the senior engineer was defeated and reached his "complete form" means that the battle for the beast tide has ended in failure.

"As expected of the first Beast God General, is it about to upgrade into a pure energy body?"

The senior engineer looked up at the sky and saw the 'Giant Crimson Queen' formed from mutated energy compressing little by little. Its body surface became clearer and clearer, and its aura was also increasing, exceeding the level of an A-grade radiation beast.

After the Knights' "Hall Laboratory" was destroyed by the senior engineer, the Crimson Queen theoretically lost her qualification to be promoted to Beast God General.

Because the ingredients for the Beast God's concoction are not only precious, but it must also be prepared and used immediately.

Although the Knights have operations all over the world, they are, after all, a terrorist organization, and even they don't have many of the valuable experimental materials.

Up until now, the Knights Order has only been a powerful underground force. They will only truly emerge into the public eye after the Beast Machine Disaster.

However, for an A-level radiation beast to advance to S-level, besides the relatively safe path of becoming a "Beast God General," there is also the Primal Advancement, which involves using terrifying energy to stimulate gene sublimation.

In the more than forty years since the formation of the radiation zone, the number of S-class radiation beasts that can achieve this level can be counted on one hand.

The success rate of this method is predictably low.

But the Scarlet Queen still did it anyway.

Judging from the current situation, the other party has done a pretty good job. The 'Giant Crimson Queen' is slowly shrinking, surrounded by energy mist, and its body surface is covered with energy crystals. A pure energy body, the 'Blood Crystal Queen' is taking shape.

The sky no longer represents the white of an A-level radioactive beast, nor the red of blood; the sky is simply the sky, a clear, deep blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, so beautiful.

It was as if the central desert had returned to the era before the cataclysm.

"It alters the genetic territory at the ecological level, and it's a pure energy version at that. That's amazing."

In any case, among the ten great beast gods of the previous life, Gao Gong had never heard of the name "Crimson Queen". But in this life, she seems to become more courageous with each setback, just like a female protagonist in an online novel.

The higher up the scene, the more the senior engineer seemed like a villain.

The senior engineer was indeed at a loss, since the 'complete' time was up, and the half-hour pure enjoyment version of 'carbon-based fusion' was also over.

In a typical storyline, the villain should turn into a minor monster at this point and get brutally beaten up by the protagonist.

Unfortunately, the senior engineer never follows the normal plot; he usually takes the route that's more for adults than adults.

"We should be there by now."

The senior engineer stroked his chin and looked up at the distant sky, where more than a hundred small black dots suddenly appeared.

He requisitioned all the aircraft from several nearby oases.

The senior engineer saw it, and the newly promoted "Blood Crystal Queen" naturally saw it too. She gently raised her hand, and the "ice crystals" on the surface of her arm slowly cracked, condensing into ten ice crystal spears.

With a gentle squeeze of his palm, the spear vanished.

The next moment, ten huge explosions appeared in mid-air.

"Wow, that's so accurate, it must be Mach 100."

The senior engineer narrowed his eyes. One standard for judging planetary monsters is not their size, but their speed.

Simply put, if someone can circle an entire planet within the time it takes for the planet to rotate once, then they are qualified to be called a planetary monster.

Because of the two satellites, the rotation speed of the machine-split star is slightly slower, with a day lasting 30 hours.

At Mach 100, the other party's speed around the planet's surface would not exceed 10 hours.

Just seconds after the senior engineer's thought flashed through his mind, another twenty aircraft were blown up.

The remaining aircraft plunged into the beast horde, their cabins opened, and a large number of cluster munitions were launched.

Then came a series of ear-piercing explosions.

In most cases, such explosions are useless. They are ineffective at killing low-level radiation beasts, and they cannot kill high-level radiation beasts. Instead, they indirectly increase the intensity of the mutated energy.

But this time was an exception; the bombed area fell into complete silence.

Each radiated beast is a node in the beast tide, and the densely packed nodes form the beast tide like energy collectors.

Now, within the area covered by the bomb, all energy nodes have malfunctioned.

"No need to wait any longer. The radiation annihilation agent is a special biological weapon that spreads through radiation. Let's launch the final frenzy operation."

"Yes, boss."

Whether it was my imagination or not, Huang Wen's "boss" sounded particularly emotional.

Is this guy trying to hook up with me?

After carefully considering the possibilities, the senior engineer realized that this guy was currently in a vegetative state.

That's such a pity.

All the high-ranking officials, except for Huang Wen, believed that the target of Operation Wild Hunt was the advanced radioactive beasts.

Even Huang Wen only recently learned the truth.

The true objective of Operation Wild Hunt has always been the same: the entire beast tide.

The next moment, all the electronics stores opened again, and all the "monster-attracting artifacts" were activated at full power.

The beast tide was like boiling water, with every electronics city a bubble of boiling water.

The deployment locations of these aircraft revolve around the "bubble".

The stronger the radiation, the faster the drug spreads, and the drier the body of the irritated beast, the faster the drug takes effect.

One hundred electronics cities have now become one hundred black holes of beast tides.

These black holes even seem poised to proliferate further.

This is a feast of hunting.
