The Struggle

Using his 'teleportation' ability, the senior engineer roamed around the drug zone, which was even larger than the 'Asian Zone,' occasionally unleashing a large attack in an attempt to awaken his physical body.

As for the "S-class mutants," just like the police in any TV series, they are always the last to arrive at the crime scene.

Cain, Judy, and other executives at Venus Life Security Group are like moles in a whack-a-mole game—they pop up one by one and get blown up without a second thought.

This greatly disrupted their plans.

The implementation of any corporate plan requires the support of the corporate leadership. Without this support, the massive computing power brought by the "biochemical brain-computer interface" would be unguided and would have to rely solely on instinct.

This kind of "instinct" naturally wouldn't have much of an impact on experienced engineers like senior engineers.

Anyone with eyes can see that the situation is now at a stalemate. The senior engineer can't break into the 'biological computer' and the other side can't release the 'antivirus software'. The two sides are locked in a head-on struggle, but this stalemate will be broken sooner or later.

But no one expected that the situation would be disrupted so quickly.

When the senior engineer's data vision once again pinpointed a weak point in the Electronic Barrier, the space suddenly trembled violently. Visible waves surged one after another, and the scene before him resembled a transparent fold that had flipped hundreds of times, repeatedly folding over his body.

Before the senior engineer could even let out the villain's signature scream, he was instantly crushed into golden mud. The new alloy skeleton, forged from the metal heart, lost 100% of its damage and recovery rate, becoming 250%.

Tri-alloy endoskeleton (26% memory metal cells, 11% titanium alloy, 63% metal heart) (Tier 3 - Excellent): A mechanical shell made of metal from a Tier 3 civilization. Any damage can be recovered by the reshaping of memory metal. For damage below 50%, the recovery speed is three seconds. For damage above 50%, the recovery speed is eight seconds. Maximum recovery every 30 hours: 500%.

Eight seconds later, the engineer recovered again. Looking up, he saw two colossal steel rods rising from the ground, one end of which pierced the radiation clouds. The terrifying spatial tremors even cleared the clouds within a 100km radius, revealing a rare view of the planet's sky filled with stars. Perhaps due to the asteroid belt, a layer of shattered jade and diamonds adorned the area beneath the stars, dazzling and captivating.

"This is fucking ridiculous."

Looking at the two particularly familiar large sticks, the senior engineer couldn't help but curse.

The "Continental Plate Impactor," a third-tier civilization weapon, possesses three attack modes: "Azure Meteor," "Spatial Oscillation," and "Planetary Drill." The description for the second mode is as follows. "Spatial Oscillation: Through advanced oscillations that tear through space, it shatters all particle attacks; attack range 10km x 10km."

Don't ask, the answer is that the Dugo Group just successfully copied this thing.

The two large sticks from the Venus Life Safety Group are significantly thicker and larger than their 100% copied counterparts, undoubtedly making them custom-made.

"Mas Edge, it's one thing for you guys to be buying up Level 3 civilization weapons everywhere during the war, but at least inform your partner, Mass Edge! This is too damn annoying. If I weren't still alive, I would have been killed by this blow."

What's even more frustrating is that on the surface of these two sticks, there are a dozen or so powerful figures, some sitting and some standing, exuding an aura so strong it's almost viscous.

This is an S-class variant from at least two groups.

As for why the thing that was as thick as the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" didn't see it at first glance, and even completely ignored it, it was undoubtedly the work of the other party's biological computer. A version 0 biological computer, let alone creating illusions, could even lay eggs without any problem.

And the reason why biological computers have such initiative is undoubtedly that, in this brief stalemate, one of the "moles" fooled the senior engineer and won the game of whack-a-mole.

As a result, there are more and more ground squirrels.

The senior engineer looked relaxed, but his mind instantly tensed up.

On the thruster of the continental plate impactor, a thin layer of flesh grew out like moss, and then, a naked blonde woman with large breasts emerged from it.

This woman looks familiar; she's one of the senior executives who was once shot in the head by the senior engineer. If I remember correctly, her name is Hai Rouna.

Hailena looked at the engineer with a seductive yet sinister gaze and said, "Young man, do you know what we're going to do next?"

"We will kill you, without reservation, inch by inch. But don't panic. After we kill you, we will extract your genome, resurrect you, and stuff you into 'Mother's' recycling bin, embedding you into its code. That way, every time our Venus Life Security Group kills an enemy, you will die in the same way. Then, you will be resurrected in the recycling bin, continuing to suffer our punishment for other enemies, forever. This is how our group treats its distinguished guests!"

"When you delete enemies, could you also delete a few adult films? I can play the male lead for free—"

Before the senior engineer could finish speaking, Hai Rouna waved her hand forcefully.

The next moment, the bottom of the "Continental Plate Impactor" slowly opened up like a city gate. From bottom to top, each section began to deform, revealing a complex and ferocious vibration device system, like the body of a giant centipede, with each section equipped with many large speakers.

"Can I stop this thing?"

The senior engineer recalled that the last time a brain-dead girl tried to chop this thing up with a knife, all she got was her stubborn head.

The other party seemed equally curious, and soon the surface of the 'speaker' was enveloped in tangible sound waves, like a white, viscous fluid.

A meteor from the heavens—shattering the continent with an impact comparable to a comet hitting the ground.

Countless cracks spread out from the earth, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly, appearing in front of the senior engineer in the blink of an eye.

This is not just a ground attack. With the help of "Number Five's" ability, the senior engineer can clearly see that there are countless fine lines in the air that are invisible to the naked eye. If you try to jump and dodge, the result will only be worse.

"String Fire!"

As the only attack skill of "Honkai Collapse Entity 5", Stringfire is extremely powerful. It ignores physical defense and directly causes true damage. Moreover, the more drastic the change in spatial parameters, the greater the power. In its normal state, it is already equivalent to the ultimate move of an A-rank radiation beast. Under these circumstances, it soars to S-rank.

To the other S-class mutants, however, it appeared as a visible white flame that instantly burned through space, like thousands of fiery trees and silver flowers, covering a large area around the enemy and creating a fire domain that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Within this "white fiery domain," everything melted rapidly, yet the ground remained unscathed, a stark contrast to the massive crater beneath the "continental plate impactor" and the surrounding collapsed buildings.

As he unleashed the String Flame, Gao Gong also opened the 'Purple String Space,' which floated on the mirror surface of the space. His reflection could be seen flashing by from time to time as he constantly 'teleported,' changing his position.

However, when the Purple String Space disappeared and the senior engineer reappeared in reality, he found that apart from the String Fire that brought terrifying energy, his location had not changed at all.

The senior engineer's relaxed expression vanished immediately.

He knew that he had indeed teleported away before, but his perception had been altered during each teleportation, so that he always ended up in the same spot.

His real opponent was not Helena, nor the two small teams of "pseudo-war gods," but the Venus Life Security Group's large-scale biological computer.

In a flash of thought, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in the senior engineer's mind. He turned his head sharply and saw a giant man charging in through the flames at a speed beyond human perception, and the 'string fire' that had been on his body had inexplicably disappeared.

Fire defense, spatial defense, or energy defense?

The shape-memory metal began to deform, and countless tiny holes the size of rice grains appeared on the engineer's mechanical body. In an instant, he transformed into a being of light, and hundreds of energy rays, each dealing 15,000 damage, instantly covered the area where the opponent was located.

Unless the other party can also "teleport", they cannot avoid this rain of light.

However, the next moment, the giant laughed and slammed his hands together against his chest. His body turned into a soft, fleshy substance, and all the energy rays that hit him melted away like rainwater falling into a field.

S-Rank Superpower: Energy Absorption!

This thing, along with physical absorption, is referred to by players as the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Star Absorbing Technique in "Cyber World," and is an extremely rare special ability.

Without saying a word, the senior engineer lashed out with his right hand a monomolecular whip covered in barbs. Once it struck the opponent's flesh, the combination of dragging and pulling, along with the unique toughness of the monomolecular fibers, rendered even steel and iron useless.

However, a skinny monkey suddenly emerged from behind the giant man, grabbed the giant whip without saying a word, and then the giant whip suddenly went limp, splitting into thousands of single molecular lines. Even its ability to mechanically transform was temporarily sealed.

Physical absorption, another abnormally powerful S-class ability, renders bullets useless against the body, as are missiles, not to mention melee weapons. Invincible in close combat is the best definition of "physical absorption".

One is 'physical absorption', and the other is 'energy absorption'.

Individually, these two are no match for any other martial god of the same rank, but when they join forces, even two martial gods cannot defeat them.

The other "pseudo-war gods" watched this scene with smiles, as if they wanted to see the senior engineer get a good beating, or even beaten to death.

The mist and flames gradually bulged outwards, and a series of dense, hammer-like collisions echoed from within. A moment later, two figures were suddenly ejected, covered in blood and disfigured beyond recognition. The giant's leg and the skinny monkey's two arms had both been severed.

Then, a twisted mechanical monster emerged from it, its sharp teeth seemingly wrapped with thin lines.

Do you really think I can't beat you guys? A bunch of carbon-based trash!
