Mega Lifesteal

Parry (Advanced) lv1: An advanced parrying technique. When an opponent's attack is blocked by your weapon, there is a 25% chance of them being stunned, a 20% chance of taking recoil damage, and a 5% chance of dropping your weapon.

The upgraded parry is noticeably smoother and more natural. Even with a four-sword style, the blades do not interfere with each other. In fact, when the limbs move, there is a feeling of "flowing blades like water".

The four limbs transform into four knives, and the highest good flows like water.

The two bladed limbs are one thing, as they are the hardest part of the Reaper. The 'human version' has undergone a certain degree of mutation, resembling foldable metal wings.

A pair of blood-red arm guards temporarily functioned as "blade arms".

Biological Blood Armor (Biological Mutation): A special type of armor formed from solidified blood, armor +250.

It's important to understand that even the most advanced sniper rifle and bullets will not deal more than 200 damage unless they hit a vital organ.

In other words, senior engineers will no longer have to worry about being outmaneuvered.

Those "invisible flying armor" attacks also deal ridiculous damage. Even with the double buffs of health armor and parry, you'll still lose dozens of health points even if you block them.

This "flying armor" seems to be mixed with a special energy attack.

Even with the life-draining replenishment from the Bloodthirsty Hooked Legs, the High Engineer's health dropped to one-third once again.

However, the seven-tailed pterosaur was not having an easy time either. This kind of large-scale AOE skill was obviously not meant for it. There were cracks all over its back, and a lot of blood gushed out from all parts of its body, like fountains of blood.

After this attack, the opponent's health dropped below the warning level.

Almost simultaneously, both the man and the bird could not withstand the attack. The bladed limbs on the engineer's back suddenly retracted, and the explosions of the 3D Maneuver Gear rang out one after another.

Using a monomolecular rope mechanical gripper, the engineer began to "drift" all over the other person's body.

Meanwhile, the seven-tailed pterosaur spun wildly, speeding through the dark clouds and lightning, trying to fling the cockroach away.

The engineer's eardrums were buzzing. The opponent's speed was getting faster and faster, almost reaching the speed of sound. The sound barrier was like an invisible wall, constantly and violently crashing into him.

At this speed, he no longer dared to use large-scale teleportation.

The senior engineer transformed from "Doctor Octopus" into "Lizard Man," with numerous tiny hooked feet growing on his hands and feet, making him look very Cthulhu-like.

Biological Predator Evolution (Bloodline Talent): The bloodline of the predator allows you to make targeted enhancements during the hunt, a skill only available to advanced predators.

The senior engineer also became somewhat anxious. "No way, no way," he thought. "I've already tied up a B-level radiation beast all by myself, while there are seven people on the other side, all of them level 30 elites from the mother city. There's not even a single one of them coming to my aid. They can't be that incompetent, can they?"

He now has two choices: either risk killing the B-grade bird and then fall to his death from 10,000 meters in the air.

Either you get thrown off during the opponent's various exciting flight maneuvers and die from the fall.

As the temperature rose rapidly, the surrounding temperature plummeted, definitely below zero, though it was hard to say whether it would be -30 or -40.

His skin began to suffer extensive frostbite, and his blood activity began to decrease. A large amount of frost formed on his hair and eyebrows. If this continued, he was more likely to freeze to death.

"Let's take a gamble and see if we can use activated neural bundles to control the opponent; otherwise, we're really just waiting to die."

Just as the senior engineer decided to risk his life, a dark shadow appeared like lightning, its hands clamping down on the bird's beak. Behind it, basketball-sized energy nozzles suddenly lit up, and this behemoth weighing nearly 50 tons was actually blocked!

"Damn it, if you don't come soon, I'm really going to fight you to the death!"

Inside the bio-engineered armor, Kep revealed a strained smile as countless bio-engineered wires pierced his body, absorbing his blood, and his skeleton could even be vaguely seen.

"You went so far, it was really not easy to find you."

"Block it for one minute!"

"Good!!!"

With a roar, Kep unleashed his trump card, "Bio-invasion." The next moment, the over three-meter-tall bio-giant suddenly melted, turning into a pool of black liquid with countless tubes. It instantly penetrated the skin of the seven-colored pterosaur. The next moment, countless energy channels lit up one after another, but they were all stained with a layer of black.

The senior engineer slammed his hammer against the nozzle of the '3D Maneuver Gear,' shattering the ice on it. The next moment, both 3D Maneuver Gear nozzles emitted a loud bang, but only one nozzle ejected a mechanical claw.

With a large swing, the engineer landed on the neck of the rainbow pterosaur, one of the few undefended areas.

"Major Bloodsucking!"

The senior engineer took a deep breath, and the next moment, hundreds of biological suction vessels, each as thick as a little finger, were squeezed out from the dense array of biological suction holes on his fingers, palms, and backs of his hands, and simultaneously inserted into the other person's body.

The sounds of rapid, undulating digestion filled the air, as if a hundred stomachs were working simultaneously.

Enhanced Bloodlust Legs x6 (Mutant Organ): A mutated weapon unique to the Reaper, it inserts the grazing legs into living beings, rotting their organs and absorbing everything from them, increasing health by 7 points per second.

Additional status: Blade Frenzy with Great Life Steal

Great Vampire: When it is safe enough, adjust your digestive system to indulge in a feast of food, increasing your health by 50 units per second and restoring all negative status effects. Duration: 30 seconds.

After 30 seconds, the digestive system will be full of blood. While in the "full blood state," all recovery skills cannot be used. Cooldown: 24 hours.

The frost on the senior engineer's face melted away, the frostbite on his body disappeared, the bloodstains healed, and even some energy damage and radiation damage were completely healed with the violent inhalation.

During this process, roars occasionally emanated from the throat of the seven-tailed pterosaur, which were then enveloped in black light.

In 30 seconds, the senior engineer was fully recovered, and his arm once again plunged into the other person's wound.

[Memory retrieval], [Information transmission], [Activation of neural tracts]

The three biological modification abilities are activated simultaneously.

The roar of the seven-tailed pterosaur immediately doubled in intensity, and the black light and the seven-colored light began to compete with each other. However, as the 'blood vessels' on the engineer's arm became more numerous and longer, this competition gradually diminished.

As the nerve coverage reached its limit, the senior engineer opened his eyes again, his gaze as cold and arrogant as that of the pterosaur.

Drops of black liquid emerged from the pterosaur's capillaries and coalesced into a human shape.

It was clear that controlling the rainbow-colored pterosaur was not easy for Kep. His bio-armor had shrunk considerably, even revealing his head. His face was pale and filled with disbelief.

"You've got it under control!?"

"To be precise, it is the nervous system that connects to it that temporarily takes over control of its body."

With a thought, the senior engineer unleashed a blue energy shockwave that swept across the surrounding ten miles, instantly evaporating the rain and even creating a large hole in the dark clouds above.

"As expected of a Class B mechanical beast, it's practically a born weather weapon!" The senior engineer exclaimed in admiration. With a thought, the seven-colored pterosaur unfurled its enormous bat wings and its figure gradually disappeared.

"How are things over there?"

Kapp's face darkened. "I've had four teammates temporarily hold off that electric bird, while the remaining three search for you separately."

The senior engineer nodded and stopped asking questions. It was quite dangerous for four colonists to hold off a Class B irradiated life form, even with the help of the security forces' armed aircraft. There was a high chance of casualties during the mission.

The rainbow pterosaur's speed doubled.

Seeing this, Kepp's expression improved considerably, and he unusually grumbled, "The operation shouldn't have been this strained."

The senior engineer understood what the other party meant. The symbiotic team had a total of five members. If each member possessed an advanced mech, it would be equivalent to five Qiangren, and Qiangren with stronger firepower and better at long-range combat.

In fact, altitudes above 2,000 meters are not the main battlefield for the superhumans. They need to consume more energy to maintain their flight state, and they can't unleash 70% of their true abilities.

In Level 1 and Level 2 civilizations, mechs are the main individual weapons used in aerial warfare.

However, a Level 1 civilization can only develop small mechs, which are essentially flying exoskeletons for individual soldiers.

Once a civilization reaches level two, it can unlock "medium-to-large mech technology," which is often the first choice for landing on extraterrestrial planets and fighting against multi-planetary life forms. In near-Earth orbit, it can even tear apart escort ships and interstellar pirate ships.

"So, where are they?"

"He acted on his own before the mission began, attempting to hunt a B-grade mechanical bird. The hunt failed, and his fate is unknown."

"I--"

The senior engineer was uncharacteristically speechless. Although he usually liked to show off his skills, "showing off skills without actually doing them" is a skill in itself.

Isn't this a classic case of trying to be cool but ending up looking stupid?

"Awesome!" The senior engineer raised his head, then suddenly asked, "If I may ask, are there some people up in the clouds behind those symbiotes?"

Kepp hesitated for a moment, but out of their newly formed camaraderie, he decided to disregard the secrecy rules.

"Charles Waltz, the head of the Waltz Foundation."

"Oh, I don't know him."

The senior engineer was indeed unaware of the other party's identity. After all, in the previous life, even after the main storyline was completed, very few players were able to come into contact with the Cloud Nobles.

However, he had vaguely heard of the Waltz Consortium. It was a business oligarch from the old civilization era and a financial magnate in the new mechanical era. Oh, right, the Waltz Consortium also seemed to be the organizer of the "Paradise Club".

As for the Elysium, it is an organization of pure sensual hedonists who are addicted to virtual reality, linger in the sensual limits of the data ocean, and hold all kinds of exciting competitions.

The 18+ missions of the Blissful Society were once very popular among players.

They traveled in silence and soon arrived near the ocean of electricity formed by the ionizing radiation bird.

Only two strong colonists remain to be seen.

The two exchanged a glance, their minds in sync, deciding to first use stealth to launch an attack.
