From the perspective of the 'Elephant Lord,' the mechanical entity before him had definitely come from an unfathomably advanced mechanical civilization.
After all, in theory, to take the path of an 'Undying Leader,' one had to be in the middle or late stages of a mechanical civilization.
A faction like the 'Colossus Kingdom' had already taken a shortcut. Their powerful carbon-based bodies could create greater mechanical redundancy.
However, he probably had never imagined that someone could be even better at taking 'shortcuts' than he was.
Gao Gong chuckled without explaining. He spread his palm, and a large number of mechanical parts began splitting apart and reassembling, transforming into a cage-like apparatus.
It was as if flesh and blood were screaming inside the steel.
His body was nailed to a massive mechanical cross. His spine was fused to an alloy skeleton, his nerve endings pierced by nanofibers, and countless silver snakes gnawed at the last remnants of his bioelectricity.
They surged in through his eye sockets, mouth, and the cracks in his chest, congealing into cold thorns inside his blood vessels.
During this process, the 'Elephant Lord' had not simply surrendered without resistance.
However, his powerful extreme biological body was useless under mechanical suppression of this level.
Although Gao Gong's 'Mechanical Frenzy' had yet to reach the microscopic level,
he had ensured that the instant his opponent showed even the slightest sign of entering 'Carbon-Based Fusion,' every part of his body would be broken down.
Shrek's 'Undying Body' had been built on consuming far too many carbon-based fruits.
His opponent could not do that.
Intense pain flashed through the 'Elephant Lord's' eyes. After all, having this metallic liquid poured into his body was ten times more painful than an enema.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
The Collector drifted over unhurriedly.
