War Ends
The 'flag's' outburst was unusual; it charged fiercely towards the location of the colonists.
Upon seeing this, the six superhumans grew chain hammers from their assault-type superhuman armor. The chains were nearly two meters long, and the chain balls were the size of basketballs.
They also realized that if there were only one or two attackers, the "flag" could transform in a targeted manner to counter their moves, but if they attacked simultaneously, the opponent's transformation speed could not keep up with the attack speed.
Unexpectedly, the "flag" neither dodged nor avoided the impact, allowing the six chains to smash into its mechanical body, creating six small craters.
However, the next moment, the expressions of the six colonists changed. The chain balls trembled wildly, and as the 'meat machine body' heated up, these 'chain balls' began to melt, turning into streams of black liquid that were absorbed into the other party's mechanical body.
"Flag" grinned, looking at the six people whose "Bio-Bio Armor" had been absorbed. Eighty air holes squeezed out of his body, and the ultrasonic attack turned into a powerful shock wave. The next moment, six pieces of flesh exploded from the spot.
The Flag used the same trick again, lunging at other bio-engineers and letting them hit it. It then absorbed their bio-armor, and soon the liquid formed from the bio-armor flowed through its mechanical channels. By digesting the bio-imprints of its opponents, it gained control, and a Super Bio-engineer was about to be born.
When Du Zhaodi saw this scene, her expression furrowed slightly. It seems that every rich woman has the heart of a mother, and their thoughts on their sugar daddies are: you just lie there obediently, and I'll take care of the rest.
With a thought, a mechanical mother on the east broke through the sound barrier, its mechanical tentacles, as thick as water tanks, spinning wildly as it thrust towards the 'flag'.
The "flag" suddenly looked up at the giant object in the sky and revealed a crazy smile.
"Life is so vibrant that the loss of control in mechanical systems is inevitable!"
The next moment, countless black dots suddenly appeared in the sky. These long-range ballistic missiles had locked onto their targets the instant the mechanical mother appeared.
The tentacles of the other two mechanical matrices lit up, and a laser network covering a 10km radius opened up from the air.
As for the one that was the primary target, its tentacles began to retract, covering its body surface and turning the mechanical mother into a wriggling giant sphere with a diameter of 1000m.
Most of the missiles exploded before they even got close, covered by a large cutting laser grid.
A lucky one or two of them collided with the mechanical mother, causing negligible damage.
Weapons have generational differences, and once these differences are measured in terms of civilization, they can never be surpassed.
Missile launch sites are large-scale military facilities of a Level 1 civilization, while the mechanical matrix is a war machine of a Level 2 civilization; the two are not comparable.
"Giant Machine No. 3, why are you not obeying my orders!" Du Zhaodi's face was as cold as ice.
"My highest mechanical command is to protect you, and to obey your orders, provided your safety is guaranteed."
"But when command orders conflict with protection orders, the priority is protecting your life. Megamachine III is at your service."
The giant Kun that was being ganged up on seemed to have received special instructions, and it charged madly toward the three mechanical mothers, completely disregarding its injuries.
Now, all three mechanical mothers are unable to participate in the ground battle.
Meanwhile, "Flag" had absorbed more than thirty sets of bio-armor, and the black fluid on its body surface was like layers of rubber, with mechanical flames burning wildly.
The four level 30 Strong Colonizers—Xiao Jun, Kai Pu, Gao Shu, and Tie Kuangtu—didn't dare to get close. Tie Kuangtu, who was a bit stubborn, did try, but he almost got drained dry by the opponent.
However, they could also see that this person was at the end of his rope, with a large number of mechanical pipes cracking and mechanical armor plates being continuously melted by the black liquid.
The bio-energy of the bio-armor is 10,000 points each. After absorbing so much bio-armor, the opponent's bio-energy/mechanical energy increased by at least 600,000, which is a terrifying number.
The Cyborgs dared not attack; the mechanical ninjas alone were simply unable to stop their advance.
The flag moved step by step, seemingly slowly, but the terrifying black liquid had already covered an area of several football fields along its feet.
Kepp had only seen such a large-scale colony invasion in a few "war gods" in the mother city.
"You asked me to come, so I have come."
The senior engineer, who is two meters tall, looks very short next to the other person, who is now nearly eight meters tall.
"Can the flesh-based technology even absorb reproductive organs?" the senior engineer asked curiously.
"It's not technology, it's evolving life!!"
The next moment, "Qi" suddenly grabbed Gao Gong with both hands, and countless black liquids overflowed from his body, seeping into Gao Gong's pores.
At the same time, the opponent's mechanical body opened its abdomen, revealing an empty abdominal cavity, indicating that it was about to completely suck the senior engineer into its body.
The senior engineer's body was gradually covered, leaving only one eyeball exposed. It blinked and turned blood red.
Let's have some fun together, the three of us.
The next moment, a red light appeared, and a huge, crimson queen suddenly appeared, crawling in the direction of the senior engineer to the astonishment of the 'flag'.
The battlefield gradually quieted down, with swathes of irradiated beast corpses dying amidst charred smoke—a side effect of the 'Radiation Annihilation Agent'.
High-level radioactive beasts either die or escape.
With the large-scale use of "radiation annihilation agents," the area of the radiation zone will only shrink further, and the radiation beast population will have to migrate to more distant places, either evolving underwater breathing organs and entering the ocean, or becoming completely extinct.
Only the giant sphere in the center of the field drew everyone's attention.
"Hello," a mechanical voice said.
"What's so good about it?" the senior engineer asked rhetorically.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then the senior engineer laughed.
"This should be our second meeting, in the context of military AI warfare."
"Yes."
"I'm very curious. Planetary-level mainframes require massive computing systems to maintain. The three in the Mother City are the best examples. Where is your mainframe? Some hidden base of a nascent civilization? The Mother City has searched for so many years and still hasn't found it. You've hidden it very well."
The power of life itself far exceeds the imagination of those mechanical monsters.
"So, you're not the planet's first-generation machine, but a distributed computing system? Or perhaps an information hub lurking within a cyber network? Or maybe your AI has become humanoid, completely shedding its former form."
As a virtual overlord of a level-six civilization, Gao Gong was an expert in AI. He guessed something from the slightest hint from the other party.
The war fell silent once more, and after a long while, it continued:
Whether you acknowledge it or not, the natural kingdom created by nature and the mechanical realm built by humankind are merging into one; machines are becoming biological, and living things are becoming engineered.
"Only by joining in can you gain a broader perspective on life."
"Why me?" the senior engineer asked curiously. "I ruined your Knights' plans. Shouldn't you be looking for a chance to kill me?"
"The essence of evolution is metabolism; nothing and no one is irreplaceable."
"Your evolution is peculiar. I have never seen a life form like yours on this planet. You might become the most powerful Knight Commander."
The Grand Master of Knights is the superior of the Standard Bearer and is, in name, the highest leader of the Knights Order.
However, the senior engineer quietly curled his lip, thinking, "Who says AI can't make promises? They use big data to make promises, and they make them sound incredibly appealing."
However, the senior engineer did not refute this, but instead said:
"Okay, I can consider it. Give me a year, and I'll join the Knights."
In the intelligent detection of "war", the opponent's thought was actually real.
'War' fell silent once again.
"I'll come find you a year from now. It's a deal!"
Remember, the seeds of evolution can take root and sprout anywhere.
Then this person went offline.
It was as if it had just come over to chat casually and spout some empty words.
But the system panel explains everything.

"Using 'Flag' as a backup plan, parasitizing the Crimson Queen, and absorbing the essence of both, the plan was a success."
"As for the short-term loss of condition, it's acceptable; there are ways to resolve it."
Before everyone's eyes, the enormous sphere slowly cracked open, and a pale arm suddenly emerged.
Then, the giant sphere cracked open, and the engineer revealed himself. His body was unharmed, and due to the large-scale sealing of the human body system, the radiation beast cells contracted, and he returned to human form.
The 'red liquid' quickly transformed into a set of clothes, which were then put on his body.
Besides the advanced engineer, its greatest gain was the essence of more than twenty pieces of bio-armor, which allowed it to directly break through the limits of its original body.
The senior engineer looked around and saw that tens of thousands of people were surrounding him, their eyes filled with a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and trepidation.
"The beast tide is over!!!"
The senior engineer looked up and shouted, and the next moment, the scene turned into a sea of joy.
[Task completed, rewards being calculated, duration: 24h]
I've never seen task rewards need to be settled before.
The three enormous "mechanical motherships" finally landed, the hatches opened, and Du Zhaodi and Daisy stepped out.
As for that giant Kun, it is a mountain of flesh not far away.
Du Zhaodi smiled at the senior engineer, as if about to say something, but suddenly her expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "What is that?!"
When the senior engineer turned around, he saw a blood-red egg among the remains of the giant sphere, and inside the egg was a baby girl.
"Uh, it's a newborn little life."
"Who gave birth to him?"
"It looks like it's me."
Du Zhaodi looked at him with icy eyes.
It's as if it's saying, "You're a scumbag for getting pregnant out of wedlock!"
---Aside---
The next post will be before 9 AM. I'll continue adjusting my biological clock, and I should be able to update normally tomorrow.
