"This--"

Amidst the island's wreckage, Umbrella Bro stared wide-eyed as he witnessed firsthand how the super monster, whose defenses they struggled to break, was easily annihilated by the enemy. He also witnessed the terrifying bio-energy on the island.

All the radiated beasts turned into a liquid of flesh and blood. The violent energy even stained the sea with a faint purple hue. Where the sea met the sky, the violent aura rose into the sky, causing lightning to flash within the thick clouds.

Both are carbon-based fusions, but compared to the monster before him, they are worlds apart.

Now, he finally understood what that sudden sense of familiarity meant. It turned out that the mastermind behind everything was Mr. G from the City That Never Sleeps, the mysterious prosthetic doctor.

After entering its complete form, the senior engineer slowly descended in "Orochi Mode," glancing at the other party with his crimson eyes.

The next moment, Yu Ye, carrying a knife but no umbrella, froze, feeling as if his flesh and blood were about to melt away—a sensation of being observed by beings from different dimensions.

In the early stages of the game, the NPCs in the City That Never Sleeps were unfathomable. Even after switching to a different map, they still exuded the same sense of terror, perhaps even more so than before.

It's indescribably terrifying, Mr. G!

The nerves that had been trained by the Assassin's Guild, as hard as steel, were now being put to a great challenge.

"Do me a small favor," the senior engineer casually tossed over a task, and at the same time, a 'ding' sounded, and Umbrella Bro accepted the task—"Escort a portion of the virus away from this area."

Some viruses?

The rewards for completing the mission are extremely generous, and the conditions for completing the mission are very simple: just stay alive.

The players who are still alive at the scene are all carriers of the virus.

At the same time, all the players present received this mission—leave alive! Just leave alive!

The reason why the task completion conditions are so strange is simple: the senior engineer no longer cares about the lives of these junior players.

The engineer exhaled and fully released the powerful force of Honkai energy. A straight, invisible wave of energy shot out, covering a range of 100 meters, and the space in front of him seemed to cave in.

As he took his first step, the scenery on both sides of his field of vision seemed to stretch back a hundred times.

The next moment, the senior engineer stood opposite the android A. The surrounding sea had already turned into a boiling sea of fire, with purple flames burning wildly. However, the opponent standing on the sea of fire seemed to be completely unaware. Whenever the flames tried to climb up his thigh, they would mysteriously disappear.

"Disgusting nanotechnology regeneration," Gao thought to himself.

If the Quanpai robots are tanks, then this guy in front of us is a super tank. His nanotechnology allows him to draw particles from the air to replenish himself, creating an "infinite health regeneration mechanism."

Not to mention that ordinary attacks wouldn't kill him, even 'third-tier civilization weapons' probably wouldn't be able to really hurt him.

If he were the senior engineer from the previous life, he might have wondered why such a heaven-defying existence would appear on this primordial planet, but now he understands that it's all because of the 'relic'.

Or rather, both the other person and oneself are part of the 'cosmic relic'.

"Number Five?" The android A looked at the other party with great interest. Within 100km, Collapse Entity can sense each other.

This is why the senior engineer was able to sense the other party immediately.

The same applies to bio-android A.

He never expected that a mere whim would lead him to encounter someone like him.

"I know you've been hiding in cyberspace, but I can't get in, so I can't see you. After all, the information world created by the Old Man of the Fortress and the Deep Web Lady is hard to contain an existence like mine," the android A said regretfully.

"Nano life and information life are ultimately two different things," the senior engineer said calmly, a thought flashing through his mind. "You can easily control any hardware, but you cannot control the information flow inside the hardware, or the source energy of the hardware."

"Although your authority is special, you are still only one-thirteenth."

"You seem to know a lot about your mother?" the android A asked with interest.

Mother? That "Luca"?

The senior engineer said calmly, "My knowledge is incomplete, and my understanding of my mother is somewhat vague. Perhaps you could tell me about it."

The android A shook its head with a smile, "The only Honkai sub-entities that can truly 'awaken consciousness' are me and Number Two. He was born prematurely due to the stimulation of the ancient restoration plan, while I was born with my own will due to special reasons. It is precisely because of this that the Mother City has a great headache for me, because only I have inherited my mother's will and taken up the banner of the resistance."

"So, Number Five's possessor, you no longer need to pretend to be the real 'Number Five' in front of me."

Has it been discovered?

The senior engineer narrowed his eyes and asked in return:

"From what you're saying, it seems you don't take 'war' very seriously?"

The burly man in front of him said calmly, "That idiot Number Two, raised by humans, actually thinks he's one of the remnants of the old era. His only thought is to destroy the entire cyberpunk era and avenge the ancients. He's utterly foolish!"

"The intelligent species on this planet are just the prelude to the process of life."

"And life, as a form, is just one part of our creativity."

"We are the true masters of this planet's ecosystem, and it's absurd that the masters are loyal to the servants beneath their feet."

I'll just ignore you. Oh, you're a relic of the universe? Well, you're awesome, you call the shots.

Honestly, if this planet really did give birth to a cosmic relic, then it would be a great honor for this planet.

However, according to the senior engineer's memories from his previous life, it seems that he did not succeed.

"... The mother city has accelerated its efforts to collect us, and what's even more absurd is that our own kind have become their henchmen and accomplices."

So, the Mother City has already collected Collapse Entity and trained them into henchmen?

"But fortunately, numbers 8 and 12 are still on my side, and you can be on my side too. I can share with you the supreme authority that comes from my mother."

Collapse Entity number 8 and 12.

The senior engineer became increasingly certain that there was a relationship between the Collapse Entity that went beyond blood ties.

Number 8 is ranked after number 7, and the seventh Collapse Entity is none other than the little angel Xiao Yu.

If the Empire cultivated Number Seven, then Number Eight is likely a technological product of two other ancient civilizations.

As for number 12—

Number 10 is android A, number 11 is Black Rose, so number 12 is most likely one of the three original android progenitors.

It's just unknown what kind of bionic technology he controls.

The senior engineer wanted to continue deceiving the other party and get some more information, but suddenly his expression changed. He looked down and saw that the reflection on the sea surface was moving flesh and skin, and it looked about 80% like "Bionic A".

The biological computer used for early warning was turned off at some point.

Similarly, one's own perceptions have been distorted without one noticing.

Damn it, they tricked me!

[Warning, warning! You have been transformed by nanobiomimetic technology. Your human systems have been modified by 10%, 20%, 30%...]

[Once the modification is complete, the host will become a bionic offspring of 'A', irreversibly and unmodifiable.]

A flash of purple light appeared, and a mechanical skeleton appeared in mid-air. With a wave of its hands, a large particle disturbance field instantly unfolded, turning the space into a frosted glass-like surface. At the same time, various lights shone from its body, and in the next instant, hundreds of particle rays shot out, covering an area of ten miles. Under the effect of the 'Purple String Space', this number of attacks did not stop at all, and countless bullet holes appeared on the sea surface in an instant.

The one who just reminded the senior engineer was the senior engineer's mechanical body.

"String Fire!"

The figure of the flesh-and-blood engineer vanished instantly, and at the same time, terrifying purple flames poured down from the sea, from space, and from the sky, leaving almost no room to hide.

The Fifth Collapse Entity, Purple Energy String, is itself a type of spatial energy.

This "string fire" is essentially energy generated through spatial ripples, ignoring distance and causing real damage.

[You dealt 40,000 damage to Phantasm A]

[You dealt 50,000 damage to Phantasm A]

[You dealt 56,000 damage to Phantasm A]

[You dealt 41,000 damage to Phantasm A]

Rows and rows of damage numbers were displayed, but the enemy under attack, apart from his face occasionally blurring, showed no signs of injury on his body.

"Damn it, microscopic species are disgusting!"

Although android A looks like a normal person, the engineer understands that this guy can split into 'nano mode' at any time if he wants.

In other words, if the attack cannot damage the 'nano unit', then the effect is equivalent to nothing.

The biological and mechanical entities were of one mind. Taking advantage of the biological entity's widespread disruption of space and restriction of the other, the mechanical entity in the sky raised its hands high. The dark clouds in the radiation layer began to rapidly darken—not just the black of clouds, but the high-concentration black of an S-class radiation field. Just as the blackness reached its limit, the thousand-meter-long cloud layer suddenly tore apart, and a giant hammer of lightning descended from the sky—

Small Weather Weapon - Mjolnir (Elite) (Tier 2 - Master): Compared to energy weapons, weather weapons have a larger and wider range of influence, creating thunderstorm clouds up to 3000 meters thick, which can produce heavy rain, lightning, and storms.

If attacked directly, it will generate a large-scale lightning strike with a heat output of up to 5 billion joules and a damage of 10,000 points, consuming 3,000 energy points per second.

According to the system's description, the advantage of this move is its wide range, while its disadvantage is its lack of continuity.

And coincidentally, the capabilities of "Number Five" perfectly compensate for this, and this time, the senior engineer directly triggered the advanced radiation energy in the radiation layer.

When the two are combined, the resulting damage is absolutely devastating.

[You dealt 780,000 damage to Phantasm A]

This attack is more than enough to severely damage even a civilized weapon.

Before the mechanical engineer could even feel joy, his expression suddenly changed, and his figure vanished instantly. When he reappeared, an arm, a leg, and half of his body had disappeared.
