Close-Quarters Gunfighting

Ragnarok is not just a myth of one planet. In fact, for any normally developing carbon-based race, totem culture, myths, legends, and folk tales will come one after another.

In this process, Ragnarok is a highly probable scenario.

And now, a man-made "Ragnarok" is unfolding.

The god walked outside the main hall and saw that thick fog had covered the entire "divine realm". One after another, the corpses of gods lay in the fog, the divine fire was going out, and the temple was collapsing.

Within the fog, one impact after another rang out. After each metal collision, the massive fog grew even denser. Gradually, a tall figure emerged from the fog—a mechanical knight.

The knight rode a giant mechanical leopard.

From this giant leopard, 'God' sensed a very familiar aura.

That was the same aura that originated from me.

The giant leopard, however, obsequiously crouched down between the other's legs.

"Shame!"

"Oh, you can talk," the senior engineer said with great interest, looking down at him.

The voice of "God" was hoarse and aged, yet possessed a unique charm.

"I will not let you destroy the 'Aesir's Realm'!"

"I will stop your Ragnarok!"

"Only I can bring down the true Ragnarok!"

With each word spoken by the "god," the "sky" darkened further, and the sky, the earth, and the sea all turned into the color of fiery clouds.

In the senior engineer's view, a massive flow of data began to surge into the other party's body.

"Did you go too far?"

The "V" on his chest suddenly lit up brightly, and the senior engineer seemed to have a hundred times more power. At least 30 devilish patterns lit up all over his body. With a thought, four sonic booms rang out simultaneously within a second.

The senior engineer instantly appeared opposite the "god," and the giant gun pierced through the opponent's chest. The gun, carrying the opponent, crashed into the "throne" made of motorcycle turntables amidst a whooshing sound.

The throne shattered with a crash, and the god, along with the steel chair back, was slammed into the wall.

With just that one hit, the opponent lost at least 5000 health points.

The "god" opened its mouth, and blood spurted out. Finally, fear flashed in its eyes.

This was a force that suffocated him!

However, to the engineer's surprise, the "sunset clouds" did not disappear, or rather, the data stream continued to shrink rapidly.

Something's not right.

With a thought, the mouth of the "World-Devouring Serpent" shot out from the engineer's right eye, its blood-red maw opening wide and biting down hard on its own tail.

Ouroboros is formed.

The senior engineer had pushed his second-tier bloodline to its limit, which caused his skin to turn slightly blue.

The next moment, the divine realm, the main temple, and the mist all vanished.

The reverse gravitational field beneath the Sky Palace is rapidly contracting.

The entire hall seemed about to fall from the sky.

Damn it, did they pick up the wrong script?

They jumped straight from Thor: Ragnarok to Avengers: Age of Ultron.

"Luckily, it was me who came. If it were my henchmen, even if they could kill God, they wouldn't have been able to save the spaceship's core."

The senior engineer instantly appeared in front of Gilbert, grabbed his head, and the 'colonized body' quickly returned to its original form, covering the giant leopard's body.

This time, however, it was no longer the "Leopard Warrior" transformation. The change in form was even greater. The limbs retracted, the tail shrank, and with the help of the colony, countless mechanical parts began to reassemble, transforming into three pairs of wings.

The leopard's head also flipped into its abdomen, its mouth open. Instead of a grenade launcher, it was replaced by a combined shipborne engine. Around the engine were rings of devil jets, and the 'carbon ion reactor' in the leopard's head was shining brightly.

The next moment, the 'Leopard Flying Machine' quickly took shape. The same 'energy engine' was no less than level 6. It took off without making a sound. With a nimble turn in mid-air, it landed below the 'Sky Palace'. The next moment, the ship's engine, carbon atom reactor, and energy nozzles shone brightly at the same time. After a powerful metallic sound, the palace's descent suddenly stopped.

Ragnarok has also come to a standstill.

The "god" stared at this scene in disbelief, speechless for a long time.

Dragon Knight (Talent): As a special species that combines advanced mechanical and biological characteristics, you can ride other advanced mechanical beings to complete the large-scale transformations you need.

Note: A being that can appear and disappear, grow large or small, summon clouds and mist, and transform into all things is called a dragon, and the being that dwells above dragons is the dragon knight.

The senior engineer waved, and the steel gun flag hummed. The next moment, it retracted with lightning speed and was held in his palm, a feeling of blood connection spreading through him.

[You have mastered the melee skill: Long Weapon Mastery]

This is the benefit of the 'Legendary Hunter' template: 100% weapon affinity.

For a moment, the senior engineer seemed to have transformed into an ancient spearman, and basic spear techniques, lance techniques, and staff techniques became his most basic memorization.

With a flick of his wrist, the chief engineer's gun tip began to spin in large circles. "God's" eyes narrowed, and he lunged to the side, leaving a row of gun holes in the wall.

"It's not very user-friendly."

The "normal" level of skills is indeed quite inconvenient for today's senior engineers.

On a whim, he upgraded "Long Weapon Mastery" from lv1 to lv9, and at the same time invested a specialization point to advance it to the next level.

The advanced version of "Long Weapon Mastery" has an additional state called Spear Force.

The god immediately sensed something was different. Although it was the same move, even a slight touch was like a venomous snake coiling around him, and its power was clearly a level higher.

Still not very good.

The senior engineer was promoted from the "Advanced" level to the "Elite" level.

This time there are three more options: one is called "Accumulated Spear Technique," which increases explosive power; another is called "Flowery Spear," which is an upgraded version of foot-based spear technique; and the third is called "Spear Fighting Technique (Close Combat)."

This "gun-fu" is not the same as that "gun-fu"; it refers to the use of cold weapons within a mechanical system.

The senior engineer chose the third option. With a thought, the "Devil Jetpack" in his palm suddenly opened. Although the power was not much due to the lack of a reactor, the power from the forearm to the wrist and then to the five fingers, enhanced by the "Gunfu Technique (Melee)," almost perfectly matched the sudden surge of power.

The steel spear seemed to turn, rotating almost 180 degrees. Before 'God' could react, the spear tip struck his cheek hard, and the sound of his face breaking could be clearly heard.

Just as the senior engineer was about to upgrade this skill to the maximum level to see what additional status effects it would have, a sudden sense of alertness arose in his mind, and he unhesitatingly held the flag spear in front of him.

The next moment, a force of gravity struck him, and the engineer staggered back three steps. Looking down, he saw two deep scratches on his body, revealing the bone, and a huge scratch on the gun.

My health dropped by 500 points.

"Damn, this gun of mine is 'Epic+' level!"

The senior engineer immediately thought of Matsushima Keiko's pitiful expression, and the perfectly intact broken piece of 'Benizakura'.

"This feeling—spatial ability?!"

If that's the case, the senior engineer doesn't know whether he's lucky or unlucky, as he's encountered the most troublesome existence among superpowers.

Moreover, there was more than one such "aura"; the senior engineer sensed at least 20 auras resembling "gods" being conceived.

What made his expression even stranger was that, besides the aura of the 'god,' he could also sense his own aura!?

"Alright, I'm not playing with you anymore."

With a thought, his Gunfighting Technique (Melee) was upgraded to level 9 once again, and thirteen flying shuttles flew out from his body.

He slammed the gun into the ground, and in the next instant, violent lightning covered the entire ground, causing 'God's' figure to freeze abruptly.

The next moment, the spear shot out like a dragon, instantly reaching the 'God'. The 'God''s' pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he unleashed his strongest power. His figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind the senior engineer at the same time. With a fierce wave of his hands, more than a dozen cracks flashed by.

The "Steel Flag Gun" appeared behind the senior engineer as if it had a spirit, and with a flick of his wrist, the gun instantly split into dozens of pieces, which rotated around the senior engineer's back in different directions.

The next moment, ten sections of the gun barrel were split in two, and the remaining sections reassembled into a new steel gun flag.

"It doesn't seem to be the most troublesome kind of spatial travel, but rather an offensive form of spatial distortion—a dimensional blade, perhaps."

The senior engineer now had three more bloody welts, each about the length of a forearm.

Even the "god" didn't fare well. Almost the instant he appeared, six energy rays left six bloody holes in his body and took away 30,000 of his health.

As soon as the senior engineer had a thought, the cracks on his body healed rapidly.

As soon as the "god" moved, the wound not only failed to heal, but instead showed signs of a massive hemorrhage.

A strong sense of threat suddenly welled up from the bottom of my heart, as if the other party had become some kind of monstrous flood.

The reason is simple: the senior engineer activated "Species Butcher" and "Gene Killer," while a large "Prey Mark" was displayed above the target's head.

Soon, the 'god' sensed the difference.

The once-unfailing sneak attacks are no longer working.

To be fair, 'God' is not weak. Its health is twice that of a B-grade radiation beast. Its various skills may not be as good as those of the Great Knight Steel, but they are not much weaker. In a real fight, it can basically be evenly matched. Using 'spatial ability', it might even be able to turn the tables.

Moreover, the high-level engineer is not at his peak right now. Without the reactor and the colony, his mechanical energy has decreased by at least 10,000.

However, during their battle, the one being relentlessly beaten from below was actually the 'god'.

While the 'Spindle-Shaped Mayfly Gun' and 'Mechanical Flag' are also factors, the more important reason is that the senior engineer's attributes have completely surpassed those of a level 30 gene fusion.

This was a crushing victory.

As the "Species Butcher" was activated, the senior engineer became even leaner and faster, with sharp spikes piercing out from his body. Often, a single close-range attack could leave several bloody holes in his opponent.

This "touch and go" style of play is what "God" hates most.

Moreover, every attack from the opponent hit his vital points, triggering double damage.

The surge of divine blood quickly subsided to the warning level.

The senior engineer suspected that the opponent might have died before the "genetic kill" progress bar was full.

"How about sparing their life for now? A living gene fusion can complete the job change quest."

"More importantly, if we could analyze the 'genetic fragments' of the other party's superpower, wouldn't that be a huge windfall?"
