"Kid, what are you doing?!"

When the bat army of the infected creatures was attacking a defensive node, it was once again disrupted by the sudden intrusion of pirated G. The middle-aged president could no longer hold back, took off his gloves, and a pair of rotting palms were revealed, with wisps of gray mist emanating from his palms.

Pirate G let out a soft "Eh," instinctively sensing a strong threat.

However, the next moment, the copycat Mr. G let out a wild laugh.

"Great! I've had my eye on you for ages. If I take you down, I'll be number two in the powerful gang!"

The next moment, terrifying gravity struck from two directions, almost solidifying, tearing through the steel plates, and two unmanned military aircraft shot out from underground, bombarding Hongbing from the left and right.

A hint of surprise appeared on the nameless youth's usually indifferent expression.

However, with a terrifying impact, two arms as thick as water tanks slowly pushed away the military aircraft's fist. The metal surface of the military aircraft, which was pressed down by the rotting hands, began to corrode visibly, and was quickly mostly decayed.

A deformed humanoid monster appeared before the pirated G.

His arms were as thick as water tanks, but his legs were as thin as bamboo poles. Especially around his shoulder blades, a pair of large bat wings slowly emerged, almost covering his entire body. One of Hong's eyes was normal, but the other eye was completely bulging and full of blood vessels.

Carbon-based fusion, and a mutated version of carbon-based fusion.

"Oh dear, this is troublesome. We've actually angered him. A large-scale biological virus," Old Pawa scratched his head of white hair and sighed. "It's time to retreat. If we don't leave now, we'll be in trouble too."

"We're just going to ignore the newcomers?" Dorn asked, bewildered.

"The first rule of a powerful gang is: clean up your own mess."

"Shouldn't you be responsible for your own experiments?" Dorn muttered.

"Now that both sides are really fighting, let's wait until the outcome is decided before we come back to clean up the mess," Old Pawa's voice rang out leisurely. "However, I have a feeling that the final outcome of this turmoil may be beyond our expectations."

The next moment, three beams of traction light fell from the sky. This was a unique space traction technology of the Celtic system. The three people disappeared from their original spot instantly, while the silhouette of an alien spaceship flashed by in the radiation clouds.

"The old man left when he saw things were going badly. It seems you really were a pawn to be discarded."

Hongbing's voice became hoarse and unpleasant. Under the double gravity of two military aircraft, he slowly flapped his wings and took flight.

"Why can't you be the one to be sacrificed?" Pirated G curled his lip, with the defiant expression typical of a male protagonist in an online novel.

Hong Bing slowly laughed, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth covered in barbs.

"As the head of a biotech company, it seems you still don't understand what this means."

"This means that all the latest biotechnologies will be implanted into my body immediately, and all the advanced drugs that can improve my condition will be given to me immediately. You have no idea how powerful this super organism is, built up with the resources of an entire company."

"So what? My purpose in existence is to suppress all enemies in the world!" With a thought, the pirated G merged directly with the military machine, assuming a classic fighting stance.

"Come on, challenge me!"

"Idiot, do you think this is a street brawl?"

At the same time, the voice of artificial intelligence rang out on the implanted chip in Hongbing.

"Chairman, the concentration of the biological virus has reached the standard."

"So, let it all rot!"

Hongbing let out a strange laugh, and with a sudden slash of its claws, the virus, invisible to the naked eye, spread rapidly from itself. Wherever it passed, whether mechanical life or biological organisms, they all began to rot. Numerous bubbles emerged from the metal surfaces, while the flesh and blood began to wither directly.

If this large-scale biological weapon were to be presented as blueprints, it would be at least a level 8 biological blueprint, and its power would be even more terrifying than [Black Winter].

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

Biological weapons overwhelm everything.

Meanwhile, the pirated version of G stared in astonishment at his skin, which began to rot wildly, as if he had been soaked in sulfuric acid.

Meanwhile, at the birthplace of the "Pale Angel," Dr. Murray was frowning as he looked at various hidden data.

The amount of "simulated data" provided by ethical chips is enormous, leading to the emergence of numerous data processing centers.

These "data hubs" are far more important than any virtual building.

However, at this moment, half of these 'nodes' scattered throughout the city are under siege.

"The situation is not good. If the computing power continues to dissipate like this, the plan may fail."

Dr. Murray looked up and saw that the original location of the "Pale Angel" had been replaced by a small black box magnified a hundred times.

On most of the surfaces of the black box, white light had already covered them, but the rate at which the white light was being absorbed was far slower than expected.

This is partly due to the resistance of the machine-generated characters, and the other half is due to the actions of the subhuman mercenaries, the disruptions caused by the players, and the actions of high-level NPCs.

Even more strangely, not only was the white light weakening, but the black light surrounding the machine was also weakening.

Somewhere in the corporate district, the collider is sweeping across the battlefield like a steel giant, its targets being the "Mastermind Wells".

Each time a node is shut down, the internal mechanical eyeliner goes into a dormant state.

These nodes are known only to those inside the mother city.

The collider is responsible for brute-force activation, Chapman is responsible for hacking, and Tong provides assistance.

This is a standard functional mobile unit action group.

Although they acted last, they were the most efficient. So far, they have shut down seven nodes, and at least 30,000 mechanical eyes have fallen into a slumber.

The mechanical informants are continuously mass-produced in the underground "mechanical hub"—kill one, and another is produced.

This is what makes the mechanical mainframe truly terrifying.

However, this action can directly reduce the 'share' of mechanical eyeliner production.

"Ghost in the Shell, conquer everything!"

The collider burst into laughter and uttered this famous quote.

As the black light dimmed, the progress of the white light seemed to increase again.

However, before Dr. Murray could be happy for long, suddenly, the number of 'data relay stations' began to decrease at an alarming rate.

Many of the white spots disappeared.

"What's going on?!"

The holographic recording at the data transfer station was activated, and only a fleeting glimpse of a young girl's figure could be seen.

The next moment, the entire building exploded.

When the video was replayed, a standard 100-person security squad was seen being beheaded with almost no resistance, all of them being killed in a flash.

Scenes like this happen every one or two minutes.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Dr. Murray's eyes widened as the image zoomed in, finally settling on the girl's face. The girl looked like an angel; the energy patterns on her body, including the energy wings on her back, and even her shoulder-length hair looked as if they were on fire.

"How much defense force do we have left?"

"Everything has been arranged!"

Dr. Murray was silent for a moment before making up his mind.

"Activate the final defense system!"

A surge of violent energy filled his entire body, causing all the gears on the Dragon Scale Greatsword to spin. When wielding it, he truly felt like a golden dragon.

Dragon Scale Greatsword Note: Wield your sword within a ring-shaped encrypted nine-bit code, and you will become the emperor's most powerful guardian.

After the Emperor's Might merged with the blade, Xiao Yu finally understood what "Encrypted Nine-Digit" meant. In her eyes, the real world became a "grid world" composed of Honkai energy, and as long as she followed the grid to kill, everything in front of her would be instantly killed.

Level 30 mechanical claw humans, level 35 large robots, and high-level law enforcement officers—without exception.

As for the hilt, the senior engineer could say he "felt the same way." He could vaguely sense that this was a killing on the level of life itself, just like the destruction process of the first life, creating through destruction.

The girl seems to be entering a state of enlightenment. If the enlightenment is complete, she will be able to completely master Honkai energy.

The senior engineer was also very curious about what level the skill he had mastered would be—third-tier? Fourth-tier?

The Cyber Test Site is teeming with monsters; this is no exaggeration.

"Huh?"

The head on the hilt of the sword suddenly looked in one direction—the direction of the "Illusory Building," the eye of the storm, the Arasaka Tower of the City That Never Sleeps.

At this point, the building began to crumble visibly, the outer walls began to decay, then the steel bars, and then the supporting columns.

Finally, the colossal object inside began to emerge.

Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon.

The senior engineer suddenly had this term pop into his head.

There's no way around it, this thing is just too similar, with a metal column hundreds of meters long and a shape like a pile driver.

"They actually have this stuff?!"

The senior engineer knows what this thing is called.

The continental plate impactor, nicknamed "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (the magic cudgel)!

This thing is a strategic weapon of a level 3 civilization; it's a civilization weapon that can only be created by merging professional knowledge chains.

As for its function, well, as its name suggests, it can alter the existence of continental plates.

This is what Type III civilizations typically use to modify the surface of a planet.

This is much more civilized than using space-based weapons.

Moreover, this thing has another characteristic: it can tear apart all energy through super vibration.

The engineer had only one thought in his mind: This thing is actually for sale?

Where did you buy it? Could you send me the link?

The next moment, the continental plate impactor was activated.

Centered on the illusory building, all buildings within a radius of 100 meters were shattered, and the next moment, a violent shockwave engulfed everything.

Wherever the shockwave passed, all mechanical systems collapsed, and the aftershocks even spread from the corporate area to the main brain area, and then from the surface to the Earth's core.

The mechanical hub, which was in operation, experienced a noticeable malfunction.

Highways collapsed, buildings crumbled, and various vehicles were thrown into the air. This single incident was no less than an 8-magnitude earthquake, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Xiao Yu was awakened by this shock. Looking around, she found herself suspended in mid-air, and the world she could see with her naked eye was collapsing and disintegrating.

"This--"
