The New Great Serpent

Constructs, as super killers of mechanical systems, are unlikely to be born that way.

Even mechanical civilizations rarely produce them, after all, these things are just too destructive.

On the contrary, carbon-based civilizations, for some unspeakable needs, will secretly cultivate some.

But does the original construct exist? It does exist, but the probability is extremely small—small, but not impossible.

Right now, that's one example.

Structure - Gear Mechanism

The sense of familiarity that both the senior engineer and the single god felt was simply because they were of the same kind.

The battles between the constructs are also quite simple and straightforward.

It's like two "mechanical Venoms" strangling each other, not only failing to be human, but also trying to make the other unable to be human.

Gears stacked up wildly, thousands upon thousands, frantically cutting through the Möbius strip, the Grim Reaper's scythe, and the wildly outstretched arms.

Similarly, the senior engineer's spine has become a series of strange rings, completely enveloping both sides, with endless rotation.

Within the ring, either layers upon layers of deadly metallic flowers bloom from all over the opponent's body, or it's as if a circle of strange mechanical figures is performing a terrifying dance, with each movement causing a gear to shatter into pieces.

The battle between constructs cannot end; it can only end with the complete destruction of one side.

The outcome is not hard to predict.

The senior engineer has five constructs on him, while the other party only has one.

So, when the last gear broke apart, a figure was suddenly ejected from the ring.

Opposite him, on an even more twisted mechanical structure, countless pieces of flesh writhe and compress the bizarre mechanical body, which looked so terrifying, into a human form.

The senior engineer licked his lips, a hint of intoxication flashing in his eyes.

"So delicious."

The death constructs of constructs are highly addictive, and countless robots who follow the construct path eventually become complete killing machines.

[You defeated the former Mechanical God of War - Single God, gaining 500,000 experience points, 10 specialization points, and 500 favorability with the Xiao family.]

Former Martial God?

Favorable relationship with the Xiao family?

The senior engineer was already very interested in the other party, and now he is even more interested.

He walked up to the other person, looked down at them from above, and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Dan Shen, who was lying on the ground, his body rotting and completely powerless, looked at the other party with a shocked and complicated expression.

"You, you actually mastered the art of mechanical possession too!"

"You call this 'becoming a demon'? What rubbish! Even in the mechanical world, this is a wonderful evolution."

"How did you manage to suppress your bloodlust?!"

Because what Lao Tzu received was the perfect version provided by the system, and it also had "biological modification" to suppress its killing intent.

The senior engineer didn't answer, but instead said thoughtfully:

"So, you joined the neuro-editing group in order to use their brain-modification technology to suppress your murderous nature."

Dan Shen opened his mouth but didn't speak, which was obviously a tacit agreement.

"It's just a temporary fix," the senior engineer scoffed. "What's the point of cleaning up system files every day if the hardware isn't fixed?"

"This kind of suppression is a slow poison. Sooner or later, without the influence of violence, your brain will break down on its own."

"Join me, and I'll show you the true wonders of constructs—you'll be blown away!"

A naturally formed 'structure' is an extremely rare existence.

Furthermore, the senior engineer could even use him as a model to create his own "construct legion".

He didn't need to persuade the other party; the twisted mechanical nature that tormented him day and night, every moment and every second was enough to make the other party speak freely and without reservation.

Watching the senior engineer step over him and walk to the next floor, Shan Shen's eyes briefly struggled before he spoke:

"Beware of Project Sawtooth."

The senior engineer paused, then asked without turning around, "What's that?"

"An ancient large-scale tunnel boring machine was transformed into a weapon of civilization at great cost, as a last resort."

"When you wake up from the virtual space, tell me to wake it up immediately."

The senior engineer grunted and turned to look at the other person with a strange expression.

"Thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I would be fine, but you would most likely be in trouble."

Dan Shen was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he felt himself being lifted up, and then purple light filled his vision. When he came to his senses, the sky above him was already gloomy.

He managed to lift his neck and realized that he had somehow ended up on the rooftop of a tall building.

Furthermore, those previous "guests" also mysteriously appeared out of nowhere one by one: the scorpion, the black python, Mr. Brainstem, and the mainframe brain.

When the last "guest" appeared, Shan Shen's eyes bulged out; he was completely dumbfounded.

The man in the engineer's hand was his boss, who was soaking wet and in a semi-conscious state.

"So young, so very young," the senior engineer remarked, throwing the other person to the ground.

"They don't even have a single clone. I wonder if they're just incredibly skilled and daring, or simply incompetent."

"If I make a move now, your boss will be completely finished."

The senior engineer looked at the honeycomb not far away. Starting from the central avenue, cracks had begun to appear, and these cracks were spreading outward from the honeycomb as the center.

It's easy to imagine that once this thing emerges from underground, it could potentially "eat up" the beehive if things go wrong.

The senior engineer had no doubt about the capabilities of the tunnel boring machine. This thing was definitely not an ancient version. In fact, even the most basic weapons of civilizations possess astonishing destructive power.

However, the senior engineer's expression was a bit strange.

The reason is simple: this thing's effect is very similar to their own product, the Level 3 Civilization Building - Earth Element Breakthrough Machine.

One is based on an "ancient tunnel boring machine," and the other is based on an "ancient underground excavator."

However, judging from the effect alone, the former should be a mini version of the latter.

If the "Earth Excavator" were to make its move, the effect would be far more than just destroying a building.

Of the various weapons of civilization that Dugo Technologies has mastered, this one is the most destructive.

"So, how can we turn it off now?" The senior engineer glanced at the unconscious Kabuto. "Can we kill him?"

"It's highly likely to be possible, but I don't recommend you do it."

"Is it because if this thing goes out of control, it will destroy all the control devices of the 'mechanical brain modification'?" the senior engineer asked rhetorically.

"That's partly true, but more importantly, this boy has something very precious hidden within him, and that's where his terrifying talent comes from."

Having already made up his mind to pledge allegiance to the God of Single God, he is now completely open and honest.

"What is this thing?" the senior engineer asked in surprise.

"I don't know," Shan Shen said, turning his neck slightly to look at the 'main brain'. "But he definitely knows that it was because of that thing that he joined the neural editing group. He once hinted to me that he wanted to join forces with me to control Dou and dissect and study him."

"If that's the case, then we really can't kill it. But we can't just watch it destroy the control system," the senior engineer hesitated for a moment, then suddenly twisted his neck.

"Fine, I'll do it myself. I'll have to try it sooner or later anyway."

Before Shan Shen could understand what the other person meant, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, a terrifying aura, far exceeding his peak strength, erupted. Dan Shen was completely astonished. It turned out that the opponent had not used his full strength before. He really wanted to see what state the opponent was in now, but his neck was no longer under his control and he was in so much pain that he could not move at all.

When the senior engineer reappeared at the bottom of the hive, he had already entered the carbon-based fusion serpent mode. Not only did his height increase to two meters, but his entire body was also enveloped in tangible white energy.

Bioenergy prices are soaring!

Unlike before, in Orochi Mode, his body is covered with a layer of light silver metal, which, although metallic, is full of strange vitality.

This was naturally the result of the senior engineer's tremendous efforts, even completing a second-tier nightmare-level mission, to obtain the super virus metal material—the Metal Heart.

With the activation of the "Metal Heart" effect, my mechanical body finally reaches its peak performance.

The most simple and intuitive effect of this viral metal is that when it floats into a metal wall, it actually passes right through it.

The entire wall, as if gnawed by something, was completely destroyed on the spot.

All that remained was a pool of molten metal, a symbol of its existence.
