Saint Seiya Armor
Just as Ms. Ye had predicted, these colonizer scientists were extracting the soul of the "Seventh Collapse Entity".
And it's not one, but seven.
Seven 'souls' were extracted, until a dark light appeared on the surface of the 'End Black Emperor'.
The next moment, the flames on the Gate of Bones rapidly turned crimson, and the two beams of light collided violently, ultimately ending with the dimming of the Black Emperor of the End.
The trembling on the surface of the 'End Black Emperor' gradually stopped, and it remained still as if it were dead.
The seven 'souls' were guided into seven large glasses, and faces floated up, their mouths opening and closing uncertainly.
The female colonizer flicked her hand, traversing over 40 meters, and reached into the glass inside. After sensing it, she nodded in satisfaction.
"The concentration extracted this time is good, roughly equivalent to the amount for ten people."
"Seven souls mean that another 70 of your kind will be born. Get ready, I will commend you for your merits."
The surrounding colonists immediately burst into praise.
"Ms. Vivian is wise!"
"Great! I'll request Dr. Xiao to bring in a strong individual for me to possess!"
"I want to eat live meat!"
"I'm going to buy the latest virtual machine model!"
"Don't give me the latest data!"
A bunch of monsters howled and screamed, their eyes bloodshot and their tongues flailing wildly.
Some of the colonists became even more distorted in their excitement.
In short, chaos reigns.
Seeing this, Vivian shook her head. She knew that their race always found it difficult to suppress their nature, no matter who they were facing.
However, her pair of bright red eyes still swept in one direction, a hint of doubt flashing in them.
What was that feeling I just experienced?
After these powerful species fled in panic, ripples spread through the space. A terrifying spiritual force sealed off the entire scene, isolating it from all external perception. Only then did the three women emerge from the void.
"Is this the 'Black Emperor of the End'?" Black Rose looked the worn-out modified body up and down with her beautiful blue eyes.
I have to say, I was quite disappointed.
In ancient times, there were no mechas or pilots; instead, there were modifiers and modified machines.
The Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000, those tin can-like creatures, represent the technological direction of the Great Xia Empire.
First, the human body undergoes mechanical adaptation modifications, and then it is fitted with combat armor, gaining a combat power increase of tens or hundreds of times.
The "End Black Emperor" was one of the most powerful modified machines back then, and it could even be said that there was none.
Each generation of the Emperor Machine is the most powerful modified machine.
Legend has it that the most advanced modified machines possess their own "intelligence," which was a very mysterious thing in an era before artificial intelligence was developed.
However, Black Rose only sensed the other's deep weakness, which stirred a kind of anger of sympathy for a kindred spirit within her.
There are enemies and friends among the Collapse Entity, but no matter what kind of Collapse Entity it is, it is the most powerful existence in the world.
They were imprisoned in this tiny place, constantly being experimented on and having their essence extracted.
When did those humans become qualified to do this?
But she may not know that in the universe, the final fate of most powerful life forms is to be captured by civilizations and then dissected for research.
It can only be said that Collapse Entity are a very special kind of existence on this planet.
The 'blood' flowing from Xiao Yu's forehead seemed to extend towards the 'Black Emperor of the End' with a spiritual quality.
At the same time, after finishing unloading the goods, the bored engineer was considering whether to join the three women when Dr. Xiao, who had been there earlier, suddenly walked over, looked him up and down, and said coldly:
"Come here, there's an experiment that requires your cooperation."
The senior engineer paused for a moment, then obediently followed behind the other person. The two of them went through many twists and turns before arriving at a laboratory.
"Lie down."
He pointed to a blood-stained operating table, picking something up without turning his head.
The senior engineer narrowed his eyes. Based on his observation, this Dr. Xiao should be the Xiao family's plenipotentiary representative in this place, working with another high-ranking female colonizer, Vivian, to maintain this underground experimental base.
"How?"
Seeing that the senior engineer hadn't gone up, Dr. Xiao turned around and asked, his eyes looking strange.
"What kind of surgery?" the engineer, disguised as a superhuman, asked in a muffled voice.
"Let's test your bodies' new functions. Afterwards, I'll send you three living people to possess; or do you intend to disobey your creator's orders?"
Dr. Xiao's words were half warning and half temptation, as he held a vial of green blood in his hand.
"Oh, I see."
The senior engineer nodded, and instead of retreating, his massive body advanced, heading directly towards Dr. Xiao.
A strange light flashed behind Dr. Xiao's thick glasses.
"You really are a fake!"
The next moment, the engineer's feet suddenly sank. He sensed that the gravity beneath his feet had increased 300 times. At the same time, dozens of beams of light shot out from all over the room, instantly freezing the engineer's body. Moreover, these beams of light seemed to be more than just lasers; they also had a solidifying effect. The engineer suddenly realized that his "strong colonizer skin" was like a lump of cement with a coagulant added, losing its vitality.
Seeing the senior engineer's astonished expression, Dr. Xiao smiled smugly.
"Are you wondering why you were discovered? After all, you pretended so well, but the disguise of the soul cannot be faked."
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in the way you're able to disguise yourself as a Strongman. After all, not every creature has such powerful cells."
"Perhaps you could introduce yourself, for example, who sent you. That would save you some trouble."
The senior engineer silently watched as the other person's palm began to deform, growing black fleshy buds similar to those of a superhuman, and then placed it into a straw, seemingly adjusting something.
"So, it's not just pure engineered armor that can become sentient; even normal people can have their engineered bloodline implanted?"
How did he get rid of the phagocytic factors in his cytokinetic bloodline?
Back then, the "red liquid" created by the senior engineer himself, with his own "bloodline," was also eager to devour its host.
Ordinary bio-armor cannot even be worn for extended periods.
Furthermore, the senior engineer had sensed it briefly before and found that there were at least seven auras in this underground research institute that he could feel were somewhat threatening.
The owner of these auras, even if not a Bio-engineered War God, is at least a level 60 Tier 2 max-level monster, whose melee ability is even stronger than that of an S-rank mutant.
If this causes a commotion—
If 'The End' were fine, that would be one thing, but the problem is that it's actually malfunctioning.
That's the perfect move.
The senior engineer suppressed his intention to make a move, and waited until Dr. Xiao finished adjusting the device in his hand and leisurely brought it over before smiling slightly.
Combined with the colonist's enormous, grotesque face, it looked exceptionally disgusting.
Professor Xiao frowned, wanting to say something more, when the other person's figure seemed to shrink rapidly, and he seemed to be involuntarily getting closer. In a daze, the surrounding air changed from gaseous to liquid, and then from liquid to solid. No matter how much he shouted, he could not make a sound. The glass in his hand fell involuntarily and was caught by a hand.
"Even though I can't move on my own, if you really come closer, you can't blame me."
Before the senior engineer was a purple mirror suspended in mid-air. The person in the mirror was Professor Xiao. However, no matter how much Professor Xiao pounded on the mirror, he could not break it and return to reality.
This is also an application of folded space.
"You just stay inside and wait until I have time to deal with you."
The senior engineer casually placed a probe into the 'water glass'.
Name:???
Level: Tier 1
Note: This is a special drug that accelerates the operation of the pain system and reduces inhibitors such as endorphins. It is generally used to punish others.
The senior engineer then used a skill on the laser next to him.
Name: Imprisonment Laser
Category: Laser weapon
Quality: Tier 3 - Excellent
Danger level: High
Weight: 0
Note: A special weapon that causes widespread stagnation of 'biological cell activity', with remarkable effects on 90% of advanced species.
"Hmm? This is promising. A confinement laser weapon—developing this is far more difficult than developing ordinary weapon lasers."
Generally speaking, the difficulty of developing laser weapons is ranked as follows: offensive < defensive < confinement.
The difficulty of confinement weapons lies in the fact that they create a special field by scattering particles.
Compared to clustering and solidification, manufacturing the microscopic realm is significantly more difficult.
The advantage is that once it's unleashed, it's very difficult to resist unless the opponent also possesses "microscopic techniques".
If the senior engineer hadn't directly achieved "unity of man and space," it wouldn't have been easy for him to extricate himself from it.
"Let me see if I can find anything good."
The laboratory is not large. Apart from some biological data, the most important things are only a storage chip and a biological computer.
With his G system version 0 and his expert hacking skills, the senior engineer quickly unlocked the two devices.
From the chip, the senior engineer got what he wanted.
You have obtained the Level 14 Mechanical Blueprint for the [Imprisonment Laser Weapon]
However, after he cracked the biological computer, he discovered that it contained a large amount of experimental data related to the "Strong Colonizers".
He finally understood why these "colonizers" possessed "souls".
The seventh Collapse Entity is neither Xiao Yu nor called "End Black Armor".
Its name is—Soul Armor!
Just by looking at its name, you can tell that this thing's function is most likely related to the soul.
Indeed, this is the case; its power increases with each belief it gains.
Furthermore, when the belief of the armor's pilot breaks through to a certain intensity, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, entering the second stage.
Upon seeing this, the senior engineer's lips twitched slightly.
What's with this strong sense of déjà vu?
Yellow, Gold Saints!?
