At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, Xiao Yu and the Black Emperor of the End descended from the sky, two mechanical bodies, one small and one large, with the same black light in their eyes. Behind them were two identical ship-slaying swords, one large and one small. Xiao Yu's sword was nearly three meters long, while the Black Emperor of the End's sword was nearly thirty meters long. Both were Martial God Armor, a free gift from the Holy Brain Group.

One consciousness, mastering two mechanical bodies, yet without any hindrance. The ancient Tuo Shou technology transformed the End Black Emperor into Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also became the End Black Emperor.

In fact, if ancient empires had continued to develop normally, they might not have evolved into mecha civilizations. Not every civilization with large mechanical bodies will necessarily evolve into a mecha civilization, especially a martial arts-oriented mecha civilization.

Because there is a soft limit to piloting mechs, and this limit is the performance of the mechs. Exceeding this limit is no longer a matter of mech civilization, but a matter of another mechanical civilization.

This civilization is called the "Multi-Machine Control Civilization," or "Micro-Management Civilization" for short. The technological direction of this civilization will push the control of mechanical bodies to a terrifying level, such as human-machine integration, where humans are machines and machines are humans, and heavy machines are without sharp edges and great skill is without artifice. Grass, trees, bamboo and stones can all be machines, similar to the "martial arts master" level in mechanical civilization.

Xiao Yu is in this state right now.

The moment the man and his machine landed, a deafening explosion erupted. Countless cracks spread outwards from beneath their feet, with golden light flashing within them. The shockwave struck the altar dozens of kilometers away, causing all the machines outside the altar to explode.

As a headstrong girl, she never resorts to tricks or schemes; she just wants a direct, face-to-face beheading.

Xiao Yu stood in the center of the altar, his face now pockmarked and riddled with countless maggots crawling about. One of his eyeballs had even turned into the head of a maggot, writhing and turning in its socket.

Around him were numerous corpses, each of which appeared to be a biological mutant with various types of mutated organs crawling with maggots. These maggots were not memory worms, but their surfaces emanated a strange mental fluctuation.

Xiao Yu remained silent, as did the wise man beside him.

The two members of the Xiao family outside the altar, however, expressionlessly lifted their hoods, and their bio-armor covered their bodies, instantly growing from two meters tall to three meters. Cracks opened on the surface of the bio-armor, squeezing out energy nozzles; a rough count revealed over a hundred of them.

The combat power of the bio-engineered armor has a very simple standard: the number of its nozzles.

With 40 energy nozzles, one is roughly at the peak of the first tier, while 100 would be the standard for level 50-60, belonging to the Xiao family's first-tier combat power.

"Don't relax, give it your all," Xiao Yu said abruptly.

Xiao Nian and Xiao Heitong exchanged a glance, puzzled, but faithfully carried out the order.

The muscles began to twitch, and pus flowed from the skin that resembled a biological body. Maggots were squeezed out, numbering in the hundreds, from head to toe, and an indescribable stench emanated from it.

The next moment, the number of yellowish eyeballs and spitting nozzles that emerged from the bloody holes from the maggots doubled.

The two men's auras immediately materialized, and their size increased dramatically once again, from over 3 meters tall to over 10 meters tall, and their auras began to approach that of a martial god.

However, Xiao Yu's attention was not on these two, and she didn't even take any defensive measures when they appeared in front of her at a terrifying speed.

However, Xiao Nian and Xiao Heitong's pupils suddenly widened, and streaks of white light tore through space, appearing at their waists. In the next instant, their two corpses exploded into hundreds of pieces.

"Fighting needs to be fair."

To everyone present, it was someone's voice.

The senior engineer withdrew his hand. He only said that he would not participate in the battles between Collapse Entity, but he did not say that he would not deal with the small fry.

He came here for three things: fairness, fairness, and fucking fairness!

Xiao Yu looked at the golden mass getting closer and closer to him, finally raised his head, gestured to the wise man beside him, still didn't say anything, but his attitude was clear: he would drag it out for as long as possible!

The wise man gave a wry smile.

The next moment, the Ominous Machine and the Black Emperor of the End, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu, collided completely. The terrifying explosion seemed to have no intention of stopping from the very beginning.

"Asking me to stop him is giving me too much credit."

The wise man stared at the black dot in the sky and murmured.

The current head of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit, the continent's devastating powerhouse, the president of the Mr. G Research Association, the tree planter, and so on—this guy has many nicknames, but no matter which one they are, they all prove his strength.

That was a peerless powerhouse who surpassed even the God of War.

In the underground world, some people have already ranked him alongside android A as the strongest being below the planet's mainframe.

"Don't make a move if you don't want to die."

From a distance of tens of thousands of meters, the senior engineer gave a warning, then looked away and focused his attention on the system panel.

He still has three talents with attributes over 100 that he hasn't drawn yet.

[You have acquired the second-tier skill - Explosive Grip]

Melee burst skill, not bad.

[You have acquired a Tier 1 skill - Foot Blade Technique]

Creating a gust of wind with your feet? That's interesting, but the skill level is a bit low, so I'll pass.

[You have gained the second-tier skill 'Invincibility']

Invincible Body!?

Wow, that's an amazing skill!

Super Armor (Tier 2): When using Super Armor, the body is in a super stiff state, defense +10000, 100% ignore armor-piercing skills, 74% chance to be knocked back, launched into the air, knocked down, or launched into the air, and 46% chance to ignore grab and throw skills.

"Tsk tsk, starting with super armor."

The so-called "starting super armor" refers to the instant before an attack is launched. As the saying goes, it's not the power of a powerful move that's scary, but the interruption of it.

With this invulnerability, at least you don't have to worry about your ultimate skill's animation being interrupted.

It's useless against the high-level engineer in "Tyrant Yagami" mode, since his basic attack is his ultimate move, which focuses on trading blows. But against the high-level engineer in "Orochi" mode, this move is very powerful.

Most importantly, it's a second-tier skill, not an S-tier talent.

S-rank talents are bloodline talents and can only be improved through bloodline advancement.

Second-tier skills can be upgraded.

Common, Intermediate, Elite, Expert, Master

In no time, the senior engineer had mastered this skill to its peak.

The Super Armor, which evolves into a Master Skill, also undergoes a significant change in its attribute panel.

Super Armor (Tier 2 - Master): When using Super Armor at the start, the body is in a super-stunned state, defense +50000, 100% ignore armor-piercing skills, 100% immune to knockback, airborne, knockdown, and launch, 74% ignore grab skills and overdraft skills, and 51% ignore mind control skills; when using skill combos, Super Armor lasts for 5 seconds and skills cannot be interrupted, and skill power is increased by 20%; when entering 'Invincible Super Armor', all resistances are doubled, and there is a 4% chance to negate the opponent's Super Armor breaking skills.

There are three stages of super armor: starting super armor, attacking super armor, and special super armor.

The starting moves and attacks are easy to understand, while "special super armor" refers to moves that break super armor. This game has some amazing super armor breaking skills, commonly known as "boss killers," such as the Mechanic's "Super Modification," the Psychic Master's "Human Control," and the Mech Knight's "One-Hit Thousand-Strike." When encountering these kinds of skills, "invincible super armor" can be used to gamble with your life, because these "super armor breaking skills" are also super moves. Using them is basically a huge loss, no different from waiting to die.

Now that "Invincible Body" is available, shouldn't we also upgrade "Explosive Body Grip"?

The senior engineer pondered to himself.

These kinds of "grabbing skills" are mostly team skills. For example, you can grab an enemy and let other teammates deal damage. In this process, you also have to be careful of the enemy's counterattack. After all, they won't just wait to die, especially in melee combat. When cornered, who knows if they will deal a critical hit or a fatal blow?

However, if it has super armor, this skill is a different story.

A combination of super armor, grab attacks, and a few wide-range moves—this is the ultimate strategy for bosses.

Especially suitable for Orochi mode.

"Mr. G."

"What, you finally dare to speak? I thought you were planning to keep dragging this on."

The senior engineer glanced to the side, where a phantom of data seemed to want to say something but then stopped.

Previously, taking the "virtual route" relied solely on data illusions. Let alone flying, one might not even be able to walk in reality. But now, with the integration of virtual and real worlds, the real world is essentially half of cyberspace. Through data transmission, it is possible to achieve physical ascension.

That's why it's possible to appear at an altitude of 10,000 meters by transforming the physical body into data.

"Which sage are you?"

"The Second Sage, Hedel," the virtual old man opposite him said with a wry smile.

"I have dealt with your life sage, Omega."

The reason the senior engineer remembered this guy was because he was a polluter; and now it seems that the entire Earth Network Group has been polluted, otherwise why would he be involved with Xiao Yu?

After the "Divine Consciousness" was activated, the number of memory worms on the other party was no less than that of Xiao Yu, but it seemed that they had mastered a way to extract some kind of power from the memory worms.

"In fact, our group's first wise man, Luca, once extended a warm invitation to you to become our group's wise man."

"Venerable Luca, Luca," the senior engineer repeated, then said thoughtfully, "I'll go and have a chat with him when I have time."

Hedel breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the senior engineer. He looked down at the altar on the ground, especially at the altar covered with memory worms, and said thoughtfully.

"These things on the altar weren't prepared for us, were they?"

Hedel tried to argue, but the air around him seemed to freeze, making him unable to move.

"This is not a simple blood sacrifice, but a large-scale virtual information transformation ritual. The object of the transformation is not you, nor me," the senior engineer looked at the sea at the end of his field of vision, "But the entire Xiao family, and the Xiao family's super-colonized army, right?"

"Therefore, this was never a fair fight."

Hedel's expression changed, but before he could speak, the senior engineer reached out with lightning speed and grabbed his neck in the brief moment between the virtual and reality transition.

At the same time, his body instantly transformed into a towering steel mountain, pressing down. With a forceful squeeze of his five bright red fingers, Blackel was instantly shattered into pieces.

Invincible Body, and the Explosive Body Grip.
