Xie Family's First Elder

The senior engineer created a full-body spatial armor using the "Fifth Collapse: Purple Energy String," which has a defense value of 1 million.

Furthermore, this 1 million is the lower limit, not the upper limit.

In other words, only if your attack exceeds 1 million points can you possibly destroy the 'Honkai Space Armor'. Perhaps 5 million or 6 million damage is needed to completely destroy the space armor and cause damage to the wearer of the 'Honkai Space Armor'.

In the battle just now, the senior engineer's "Honkai Space Armor" was destroyed three times.

Including this time, that makes a total of four times.

In the previous three instances, the senior engineer would teleport away and wait for his space armor to recover before returning to the battle.

This time, however, he did not choose the previous method. Due to the interference of the opponent's "Subspace Tower", he was no longer able to teleport.

And his sword is about to plunge in!

In the spatial storm, the senior engineer's tri-alloy endoskeleton instantly disintegrated three times. The silver-white metal, which could defend against 90% of kinetic weapons and even ordinary energy weapons, was instantly blasted into ashes. From the ashes, the metal skeleton condensed again, and then the metal skeleton exploded once more.

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%.

Three 100% losses mean that in just a moment, the senior engineer lost over 100,000 HP, and all of it was real HP, with no defense to offset it.

But Gao Gong was having a hard time, and neither was his opponent. As the super energy sword shattered the last layer of energy shield, countless deformed flesh, tentacles, bones, and black blood sprayed out like rain. Wherever it landed, it burned out a lot of holes, and Xie Egui, who was in the very center, screamed in agony.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the senior engineer flicked his wrist, and a bright energy light shone forth. From this energy light, a Möbius strip shot out, wrapped around the white tower, and entered the most damaging 'Eternal Ring' mode.

Möbius Magic Blade Ring (Tier 2 - Master): The malevolent aura of the constructs towards carbon-based species constantly influences the manipulator. The cells of the organism are stimulated by it day and night, eventually triggering a resistance factor. However, this resistance factor has turned into another killing move based on biological instinct, with an attack power of +30,000.

Eternal Ring: Performs a targeted circular cut on enemy species. While in this state, the 'lethality' will continuously increase until it reaches 100%. Note: Once this state is entered, it is not easily interrupted.

Countless cracks were instantly slashed across the 'Subspace Tower,' a sight that made Xie Egui's eyes widen in fury.

"You're asking for it!!"

"I'm looking for your mother!!!"

The senior engineer's anger was even more intense. He had only sensed an advanced mechanical body descending from the sky, and after teleporting over to take a peek, he was almost crushed to death by the "space clamp."

What if you don't want to die? Then you'll have to do a "super transformation"! Don't you know my balance is very fragile?!

You son of a bitch, you haven't even said what you're looking at yet!

This match was so inexplicable, it made my head spin!

"Beep beep—"

[You have triggered the Tier 2 Nightmare Quest 'The Hatred of Stealing My Wife']

What is that?

The hatred of having one's wife stolen

Difficulty: Tier 2 - Nightmare

Mission Briefing: Super Mecha, the third immortal candidate of the Immortal Conglomerate, the first mecha elder of the Xie family, Xie Egui is trying to steal your ship girl Du Zhaodi to make her his mechanical partner. As a carbon-based male species, can you tolerate this?

Mission objective: Remove your beloved green hat and defend your childhood sweetheart.

Mission Rewards: 50 million experience points, and three random enemy technology blueprints.

Note: Carbon-based life forms are slightly less durable, mechanical life forms are somewhat less stylish, but a generation of geniuses, combining machine and flesh, watch me fuse and shoot down the great eagle.

"You're not only a road bully, you're also a womanizer!?"

The senior engineer was furious. The radiation beast tattoos on his body surged wildly, as if countless radiation beasts were about to burst out of him. After the life forms of these radiation beasts expanded and then compressed, they actually turned into strange tree patterns. The super energy sword, which had been dimmed, lit up again. This time, the lightsaber transformed from an energy form into a 'semi-biological form'.

In a daze, the senior engineer seemed to transform into that SSS+ tree, frantically absorbing the life magnetic field of the entire planet.

The engineer felt a sudden weight in his hand, sensing that the "greatsword" was about to slip out of his control.

The sword suddenly spun, and the tip plunged fiercely into the mechanical fortress.

The next moment, with the sword tip as the core, tree roots as thick as water vats rose from the ground, splitting the armor surface, inserting into various weapon systems, and using their energy for secondary development.

The senior engineer coughed up a mouthful of green blood with a "whoosh".

At the same time, Xie Egui's mechanical body suddenly disintegrated.

"I won't let you get away with this!!" That was the other party's last message.

The senior engineer sneered, "You think I'd let you off the hook? Since ancient times, the hatred of killing a young woman and taking away a rich woman is irreconcilable."

However, just as the senior engineer was about to press his advantage and break into the enemy's core to destroy the core hub of their space fortress, his face suddenly turned red, his eyes changed, a flash of purple light appeared, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was no longer in the radiation layer, but on the surface of the sea. With a "ripping" sound, a crack suddenly grew on his back, tearing from the 3rd cervical vertebra all the way to the 25th coccyx. The crack was like a big mouth, constantly gagging. One after another, bright red flesh struggled to crawl out of his back, and these blood-red figures all had the features of high engineers.

"Let me out! I'll go out first!"

"Why should you leave first? Who are you?"

"I'm a senior engineer!"

"Then I'm still Mr. G!"

"You're all pirated versions, I'm the youth version!"

"Trash, don't think I don't know. Aren't you just a backup personality created from the Venus Group?"

"Then who are you?"

"I'm different. I'm the virtual personality, Punk Soul. I have a stronger will to rebel than any of you. I'm going to become the head of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Department and then destroy this corporate era!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as these strange figures were arguing, threads shot out from their shoulders, ribs, thighs, and other parts, intertwining to form a blood-red net that caught the bodies and stuffed them inside. Deep within the rift, it seemed as if some monster was chewing on these bodies.

"No, no, I don't want to go back!"

"I want to leave this body; it's too dangerous!"

"Help! Help! Rich woman, save me!"

One by one, the threads were torn apart.

The Level 16 Biological Blueprint [Planetary Gene Stitching Network], the last line of defense prepared by the senior engineer to prevent rejection, seems to be on the verge of being breached.

Fortunately, at this moment, the main body of the high engineer finally recovered. With a thought, his figure disappeared directly from the material interface, sinking, sinking, and sinking continuously, and in the process, he kept moving away from the chaotic information.

Finally, when the "Information Black Cavalry" emerged from the sea of information once again, its body had returned to normal—at least on the surface.

But upon examining the rejection—

Mechanical rejection: 12304

Biological rejection: 12333

"..."

Restore my ass!

I glanced at it again; the advanced energy pool 'Purple String Space': 103/100000

Space-type ultimate moves against space-type ultimate moves are indeed consumed quickly.

When the senior engineer and others accumulated 3000 units of spatial energy, they decisively teleported back to the deck.

"You're back! What happened? Who did you fight? Did you win?"

The young woman's eyes lit up when she saw the senior engineer reappear, and she promptly asked him three questions in quick succession.

"I made a mistake that all men, no, all protagonists make," the senior engineer said with the melancholy of an art-house movie protagonist, "When I should have been ruthless, I softened and let the other person live."

"You'll still have a soft heart?" the young woman asked, expressing disbelief.

"The main problem was that if I hadn't been lenient at the time, we would have died together," the senior engineer said frankly.

So, it's a lose-lose situation?

"That's how it is in theory."

"But what's the reality?"

"They're probably already recovering."

As the saying goes, carbon-based systems are easy to develop, while mechanical systems rely on multiple machines. Although Xie Jugui is arrogant, he is not stupid. After wandering in the interstellar space for so many years, he is already a seasoned veteran. Every time he enters a planet, he leaves behind one or two "backup plans".

This backup system is named the Heavy Railgun Armed Vehicle System - Fortress Type 1.

On the surface, it looks like a space station magnified five times, and its shape resembles a "bee". At this moment, in the "bee tail", mechanical doors open one after another, and then large mechanical modules are dropped down, causing repair robots to fall in heaps.

Meanwhile, the outer space fortress, which had been suspended in the radiation cloud and looked like it had been extinguished, began to slowly deform. A large number of destroyed weapon platforms and defense platforms disintegrated and fell to the ground, and were then filled with new mechanical modules.

Xie Egui's mechanical body seems to be reassembling.

Upon hearing the senior engineer's words, the young woman paused for a moment, then quickly replied:

"Then what are you still doing here?"

"I need to understand something," the senior engineer paused, then said, "How could a mechanical entity of this level just casually enter a planetary civilization, let alone this cyber test site?"

The communicator was connected, and soon, three projections appeared: the collider, Chape, and Pupil.

Before the three could speak, the senior engineer said with a serious expression, "Stop talking nonsense. In the name of the new minister, I order you to help me investigate someone named Xie Egui."

"Xie Egui, that Xie family's Grand Elder? One of the few old monsters who can break free from the large server cluster 'Xie Clan Ancestral Hall'?" The collider paused for a moment, then asked.

"You know him?" the senior engineer asked in return.

"The Xie family, a purebred mechanical family, is quite famous in the mother city."
