I'll Be the Waist!
"Hint: Your special ability ' Eightfold Chains ' has been split to its maximum of 4096 chains..."
"Warning: You switched your Sin Mark too quickly. Please wait 0.02 seconds before trying again!"
"You have killed one ' Alien Steel Snake '."
"Your joint lubrication has improved slightly."
"You killed 3 ' Iron Squid '"
"Your kissing skills have improved slightly."
"You have killed a ' Dark Snowman '."
"Your breath has become slightly fresher."
A large amount of data flashed before Roger's eyes.
His attention was extremely focused.
But what I saw was chaos in the Central Plaza.
Every minute and every second, monsters bound by chains suddenly die.
Some monsters die too quickly.
Roger didn't even have a chance to cut the Sin Mark.
However, he cut down most of the monsters.
As for the effect...
It was not very satisfactory.
No matter how many monsters are in the square.
There are at least 20 different types.
Let alone something like an "Alarm Robot".
Even the "Steel Werewolf Beast" is far inferior.
This made Roger dissatisfied.
They gradually lost interest in doing things themselves.
He planned to let his underlings practice their skills.
I can rest for a while.
Just at that moment.
The Martial Artist from Team 1 were the first to charge into the battle.
Roger then controlled the Poisonous Fiend to deviate from the center of the battlefield—
Compared to the original poisonous fog, the refined poisonous aura is much less toxic.
But the advantage is that it is flexible and completely controllable.
Roger stopped.
The square, which had just been covered in lush greenery, immediately returned to normal.
But the monsters who survived the ordeal didn't even have time to catch their breath.
One by one, Martial Artist with red eyes surged forward.
These guys might not be as efficient at dismantling monsters with their bare hands as Roger.
But its momentum is even greater!
Each member of the Elite Squad 1 unleashed their full potential.
They were terrified that if they were too slow, the Sect Master would wipe them all out...
Driven by this psychology.
The battle was one-sided from the very beginning.
The overpowered Martial Artist brutally beat up the steel monsters that were about the same level as themselves!
This was completely unimaginable for the lords on the Steel Platform!
You need to know.
When fighting against enemies of the same level.
These Heterogeneous Construct have always had an advantage.
Since they arrived in Mystra.
I've never been treated so badly before!
A corner of the square.
The water truck came hurtling towards us with a beeping sound.
Its six pipes Full Firepower.
A large amount of glue was spread on the ground! But before the glue could even do its job...
The water truck was surprised to find that...
A bunch of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
These people were all carrying gray and white burlap sacks in their hands!
And those sacks were filled with sand!
Splash! The sand fell to the ground.
I rolled it in the glue a few times.
The water truck left no trace whatsoever! "No!"
The water truck made an angry sound:
"We've been betrayed!"
Not far away.
The "Werewolf Elder," who was preparing to summon the "Glue Monster" in conjunction with the water truck, coldly said:
"This is not surprising."
"After all, he is a 'father'."
"He knows all our flaws, but we can't kill him, so this day was bound to come sooner or later."
Let's lay our cards on the table.
"If this continues, these lawless Martial Artist might really think that no one can control them!"
He had barely finished speaking.
The "Turret DOO DOO DOO" on the left suddenly spewed flames from its barrel, covering the entire field!
The flames swept over indiscriminately like a tidal wave.
Despite the warnings issued by everyone.
However, some Martial Artist were still struck by the flames.
The Extraordinary Body was thus damaged!
"Quickly avoid damage!"
Ji Qiu clumsily directed the retreat.
He said a few words.
They discovered that their command was completely ineffective in the chaotic scene.
So he said to his subordinates with a serious expression:
I'll go first!
"The rest of the command is in your hands!"
After saying that.
He drove straight at the water truck! Leaving behind a subordinate who looked completely stunned.
As for the gun emplacements.
Ji Qiu also really wanted to touch it.
But after all, they were enemies designated by the Sect Master.
He dared not overstep his bounds.
so.
The Ascension-grade Martial Artist could only vent his anger on the water truck that kept honking its horn!
"Four Symbols Style: Azure Dragon Dharma Idol!"...
Suddenly.
A clear, ethereal dragon surrounded Ji Qiu.
His speed increased more than three times! The Azure Dragon Dharma Idol Body possessed him.
Ji Qiu arrived on the roof of the sprinkler truck in an instant!
His hands, like the sharp claws of an eagle, easily scraped open the metal roof of the car!
Immediately afterwards.
Ji Qiu actually pulled all the water hoses off the back of the sprinkler truck! "Hmm?"
"Wrong..."
After all the water pipes were disconnected.
Ji Qiu noticed something was wrong—
Faced with their own surprise attack.
This lord-level monster didn't put up even the slightest resistance! Of course, he didn't think it was because he was too strong.
The problem lies with the enemy! "Sect Master?"
Ji Qiu instinctively looked up.
Amidst the chaos, all that could be seen was...
Where can you still see Roger?
"That's it!"
"The Sect Master is training our abilities..."
Ji Qiu recovered from her shock.
Without saying a word, he immediately...
They dismantled the entire water truck first.
As expected.
This is a "mirror image"! Ji Qiu immediately pounced on the next target.
Very soon.
He then discovered that the four lords in the square were actually just mirror images!
"So... your earlier panicked state was all an act!"
What exactly are they plotting?
Ji Qiu felt a chill run down her spine.
That moment.
The Martial Artist's intuition was triggered.
His gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield.
We arrived at a circular building resembling a duel arena next to the "Sky Cable Car Station Platform".
There.
An unusual energy flow is surging!
"Vermilion Bird!"
This was accompanied by Ji Qiu's sharp shout.
The cyan phantom on his body immediately transformed into fiery red wings.
Ji Qiu quickly flew to the top of the building and looked down.
All that could be seen was the open-air center of the building.
There is a device that resembles an array.
The figures of the four lords occupied the four positions of the 'formation'.
A large amount of current and sparks are transmitted between them.
A terrifying aura is erupting here!
That was a power that even Ji Qiu feared!
"What is that?"
Ji Qiu couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Is this the combined attack of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings?"
In the sky.
Roger appeared like a ghost.
His smile held a hint of disdain, "This is their trump card."
As they were talking.
A beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the center of the building!
Boom! The beam of light shattered the eggshell-like shield above everyone's heads.
Intense sunlight streamed down from above.
The Martial Artist, caught up in the chaos, were completely unaware.
However, the people in Teams 2 and 3 who were waiting and providing support in the rear clearly saw the giant object emerging from the beam of light!
Their faces were filled with horror.
It was an object they had never heard of before! Its front end had a beautifully streamlined metal shell.
Blue flames were rising from behind.
There are faintly visible retractable wings on both sides.
And beneath it are rows and rows of exquisitely crafted gears! "Woo-woo-woo!"
The steam whistle sounded.
That strange object flew out of the pillar of light with tremendous noise!
Finally, it crashed onto the square with a thunderous roar! A Martial Artist couldn't dodge it in time—
He wasn't even directly hit; he was just grazed from a distance, and then he was thrown back as if he'd been struck by a dragon.
If it weren't for the "Extraordinary Body" as a safety net.
This collision could very well cost him his life!
"Disperse!"
Such an order came from the Above the Sky.
Everyone quickly did as instructed.
Immediately afterwards.
A figure suddenly fell from above.
Roger casually cleared away the nearby monsters.
Then they faced the strange monster head-on! The monster didn't waste any words.
It was just a matter of the steam whistle being sounded.
It roared towards Roger at breakneck speed!
"Warning: You have encountered 'Machine Beast: Bullet Train Head ' (Upgrade/Lord/Merge Beast)"
The Bullet Train Head was moving very fast.
Roger noticed.
As it moves forward, a railway track will automatically form where it goes.
This is its drawback.
That's also one of its advantages!
Once you are hit head-on by this mechanical beast.
Normal people are only destined to be crushed!
According to the guide written by Grant.
Roger only needs to predict the direction of the "Bullet Train Head" by observing the direction the rails are generated, and then do something to force it to "go off track".
This is, after all, the combined form of four lord-level monsters.
The four individuals did not share a completely unified will.
Therefore, the railway tracks are the product of their mutual compromise.
Correspondingly.
Once the rails are lost.
Their will will be divided, their judgment may be flawed, and internal conflicts may occur at any time.
At this time.
Just delay it for a little while.
They might disintegrate on their own!
Roger originally intended to do that.
But when faced with the menacing Bullet Train Head.
He suddenly changed his mind.
He wanted to test just how strong his defenses were! So he put his hands behind his back, stood still, and looked at the front of the car with a defiant expression.
at the same time.
Roger also unlocked those powerful specialties.
"Taunt Halo!"...
"Defense as Offense!"...
"Myriad Poison Qi!"...
"Thorn Force Field"!...
"Sect Master!"
"Careful!"
"That monster is charging at us..."
The outer perimeter of the square.
Exclamations of surprise followed one after another.
Roger turned around and smiled faintly, "It's alright."
These words were spoken.
Everyone immediately felt relieved.
Too!
What kind of combat power does the Sect Master? He's at the pinnacle of Mystra's power!
They say he's Celestial God-level.
That's because in everyone's understanding, the highest level is only the Celestial God-level!
Such a person.
How could he be hit and sent flying by a small piece of car front?
Including Ji Qiu.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They watched Roger's tall and imposing figure with anticipation.
The next second.
The siren of the Bullet Train Head sounded like a death knell.
Stop pretending!
"Die!"
A chorus of angry curses erupted from the streamlined front of the car.
The surface of the car's front also revealed a ferocious, humanoid expression.
With a loud bang.
The monster relentlessly drove past the spot where Roger was standing.
They directly ground the latter into minced meat!
"Notification: Your body is reduced to nothing but bits of flesh and fragments of Immortal Bone... 100% fortitude in effect... You can still maintain this ' Near-Death State ' for 15 seconds."
"You have triggered the perk - Desperate Struggle".
"Your ' Near-Death State ' has been extended to 150 seconds. You have lost all defensive attributes but gained a 200% attack attribute bonus."
"You triggered the skill - An Eye for an Eye, your Chi is completely depleted..."
"Oh no!"
"The Sect Master has fallen!"
In chaos.
Someone shouted, their voice trembling with tears.
However, the next second...
A ghostly image identical to the grinning "Bullet Train Head front" appeared in front of it!
The two locomotives collided head-on without warning.
At the moment of contact.
The front ends of both cars began to twist and collapse uncontrollably...
Until the final explosion!
Boom!
After the loud bang.
Flames soared into the sky.
Metal sheets flew everywhere!
A large number of monsters were affected by the explosion.
The aftershocks of the explosion shook the entire Sky Nest for a long time!
Amidst the chaos.
The mound of flesh and blood in the center of the square struggled for a while.
Looking at the kill notifications in the data bar.
Roger gave up after all.
"Conclusion one: No matter how high your Defense Value, you can't let it get so inflated that you'd think you could just jump on a Japanese train..."
"Conclusion two: An Eye for an Eye can only kill one person and doesn't replenish health, so it's not recommended for future use as part of a staged accident scam..."
Lost in thought.
Roger decisively chose "Quick Resurrection"! There was no other way.
In his current state, it would be difficult for him to kill the enemy.
It's simply impossible to raise your health above the death threshold by using "Desperate Struggle".
"Notice: Quick Resurrection is initiating..."
Remaining available attempts: 31092
"Your Immortal Bone, the ' Azure Emperor Longevity Bone,' is now in effect..."
Congratulations on your new beginning!
"This is bad."
"The number of resurrections is getting fewer and fewer..."
He dusted himself off and got up from the pool of blood.
Roger felt a little guilty.
The main reason was that he didn't expect the combined beast of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings to be so powerful!
Even my Ascension-grade defensive capabilities were completely pulverized...
And it happened in full view of everyone.
That's a bit embarrassing.
Thinking this way.
Roger was too embarrassed to even visit his underlings.
But the next second.
To his surprise, cheers erupted from all around him.
"The Sect Master is invincible!"
"I knew he was deliberately feigning weakness!"
"I don't even know how that monster died, the Sect Master is invincible, that's all!"
"Who just said the Sect Master fell down? So what if he fell down? People aren't roly-poly toys; they can't just get back up after falling down!"
"That's right!"
Amidst shouts and cheers.
Roger, without changing his expression, instructed everyone to continue clearing out the remaining monsters.
After the combined beast was killed by the An Eye for an Eye bullet.
The remaining monsters then found it difficult to gain any traction.
Roger himself looked at the data panel.
The first thing that catches the eye.
It is a series of milestones.
"You've successfully been crushed into mincemeat by a locomotive, and you've achieved a new milestone: Such a Fast Car!"
"Such a Fast Car: If your intention was to commit suicide by lying on the tracks, then you succeeded, but not completely."
"Corresponding title: Master of Insurance Fraud (All your future extortion attempts will be 50% more deceptive)"
What does "deceptive" mean?
"Does it look less like a staged accident?"
"But I wasn't originally one!"
Roger muttered a few complaints to himself.
Immediately afterwards.
That's the truly wonderful part of the Extermination Order process!...
"You killed the Bullet Train Head (promotion/lord)"
"Extermination Order: You have been granted three draw chances."
"Shouldn't it normally be seven times?"
"Going from four to three is a bit of a loss..."
"I hope Taylor Swift won't be with me this time?"
Just to be on the safe side.
Roger threw the aggrieved Ghost King and Red Moon into the Xia Yin Realm.
Immediately afterwards.
He just started smoking!...
"Extraction failed!"
"Extraction failed!"
"Extermination Order successfully drawn. You have obtained the special ability from ' Bullet Train Head ': I'll Form the Waist."
"I'll Form the Waist (racial feat): You have acquired the special affix ' Heterogeneous Construct /combined component'."
That is, you can become part of some advanced Heterogeneous Construct by using components of a combined beast.
For example.
When you have the corresponding 'evolution chip' and 'combination chip'.
You can choose up to 11 Steel Werewolf Beast to combine with them.
Upgraded to the Elite Grade construct 'Lightning Wolf'
"This is so unlucky..."
Roger shook his head at the sight.
This expertise.
Who the hell am I supposed to team up with?!
What's most infuriating is that after combining, it's just a waist! Why not just make a butt?
"The probability of this Extermination Order has been a bit strange lately."
"Was I just really lucky recently...?"
Roger recalled it carefully.
There was a period when his luck was truly off the charts.
It appears almost every time a monster appears! But now...
This is the level of gear you get from a newly Ascension-grade lord.
This made Roger wonder if something was wrong.
"Is it because of Alice?"
"Still Cindy..."
"It can't be me, can it?"
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
But soon.
Roger convinced himself:
"It's normal for luck to fluctuate."
"If I can get the Extermination Order probability to 100%, I can't keep drawing useless feats every time, right?"
This thought came to mind.
His mood calmed down.
Next.
Roger searched the battlefield for the spoils left behind by the Four Heavenly Kings.
Meanwhile, they were also secretly watching for a potential dangerous battle.
Time passed second by second.
Four hours later.
The Elite Squad has completely taken control of the Steel Platform! All the Heterogeneous Construct have been wiped out.
The area around the Sky Cable Car Station Platform has been completely renovated! (See the image.)
Roger showed a satisfied expression.
certainly.
He was more satisfied with the spoils of war!
The Extermination Order was ineffective.
Fortunately, the items left behind by the Dark Four Heavenly Kings are of guaranteed quality.
Even before everyone was Tail Sweep,
Roger then completed a quick inventory check.
First up is a super armor made of Alien Steel! Its materials and workmanship are very similar to the Dragon Armor that Hongye made for herself.
It's just that its attributes are more powerful!
"Celestial God Armor (Armor/Upgrade)"
"Attributes: Strength +3 / Constitution +3 / Charisma +3 / Agility +3 / Intelligence +3 / Perception +3"
"Special Effect (Unique): After activation, you will transform into a colossal life form 600 meters tall, wielding a beam of light."
And will possess the following expertise:
Cross Laser.
Cosmic Throw.
Heavenly God Fist and Foot Technique.
..."
"Requirement 1: 12 Superior Weapon Chips (Missing)"
"Requirement 2: Any abundant energy source (the presence of gas was detected, which meets the requirement)"
"Shock!"
"I never imagined that the gods were just all-around warriors!"
"Aren't you going to consider adding some comprehension, soul quality, or Root Bone?"
Criticism is criticism.
Roger was quite satisfied with the imposing and powerful armor.
It's mainly because it looks so cool.
An 18-point attribute boost is simple and straightforward enough.
As for the "super-giant life form," it really hit Roger's sweet spot! Putting everything else aside.
He just likes big ones!
The only problem with this thing is that Roger currently has no clue about the "superior weapon chip".
He collected a large number of chips on the Steel Platform.
However, judging from the description...
They should all be low-level or mid-level.
I didn't see a single high-end one.
However, Roger wasn't in a hurry.
After all, it's an Ascension-grade item, so it's normal to have higher requirements.
Besides, his pioneering work has only just begun; there's still the Astral White Whale to be found.
He believed it.
The brothers inside the beluga whale's belly will not disappoint him.
Secondly, there's a sniper rifle that's similar to the Halo.
Its name is "Little Firebird".
"Little Firebird (Prism Sniper Rifle /Upgrade)"
"Drive: Refined Primal Stone / Prism Weapon Charging Station"
Cooldown time: 24 hours
Range: 30/5000 km (Primal Stone /Charging Platform)
Special Component 1: Prism Weapon Charging Station
"Prism Weapon Charging Station: A special device that converts the energy of Refined Primal Stone into the energy required for Prism Weapons. It requires 100 Refined Primal Stone to activate."
Special Component 2: Sky Prism (Missing)
"Sky Prism: A special prism suspended high in the sky that can accurately reflect the energy bullets of 'Prism Weapons' and launch a secondary attack on ground units."
Special Component 3: Advanced Algorithm Chip, Advanced Tracking Chip, Advanced Positioning Chip (Missing)
"Requirements: 0.3 Hot Weapon Authority Rank or 1 temporary trial voucher (currently have 20)"
Without a doubt.
This seemingly gentle weapon is far superior to "Halo".
A base range of 30 kilometers is already ridiculously powerful.
But what surprised Roger even more was the 5,000-kilometer charging range! That is, with the support of the "charging station".
This thing can hit enemies up to 5,000 kilometers away!
at first.
Roger was still a little confused.
With his eyesight, he could barely aim at an enemy 30 kilometers away, let alone 5,000 kilometers! Until he saw the "Sky Prism".
The mystery was instantly solved.
So this thing is a sniper rifle that can kill people across continents! For example...
If Roger had set up the "Sky Prism" above the Sea of Black Mist.
With the support of three major chips: positioning, tracking, and algorithms.
He could easily fire a shot into the air from the coastline! After refraction by the Sky Prism.
This shot will hit the head of the enemy located on the Southern Continent in seconds!
"This weapon is too sneaky!"
"I like!"
Roger stroked the "Little Firebird" with great affection.
If it weren't for the missing components...
He was now thinking of trying to see if he could aim at Vilan's head.
The latter is most likely located in the Southern Continent.
Besides "Celestial God Armor" and "Little Firebird".
Roger's favorite part was the miniature train engine he found in the remains of the combined beast.
This thing looks like a toy.
However, the Qi Divination Technique showed...
This locomotive can become his mount in the Two-Dimensional World!
I just don't know if "mounts" take up Item Column.
The remaining items were also quite impressive.
"Extinguished mechanical sparks," "alien tanks," "alien single-person aircraft," and a whole host of various chips and large quantities of Alien Steel.
Roger's gains were considerable.
At first, he wanted to share some of these profits with the workers in the Elite Squad.
But everyone refused.
Everyone here is a sensible person, their minds are as clear as a mirror.
Roger was not there to lead the way.
They simply can't come to a place like this.
The battle also proved that Roger was capable of traversing this place alone.
Their presence actually hindered progress.
in addition.
These are things like steel and chips.
They wouldn't use it anyway.
final.
Roger accepted everyone's attitude.
They did not insist on letting them take the spoils.
However, he still gave everyone a sum of Copper Coin for their hard work.
Roger also took out dozens of lettuce plants grown by the elves from the Demiplane as rewards for those who performed well.
It's not hard to tell from their eyes.
Compared to Copper Coin.
Fresh lettuce seems more tempting.
Half a day later.
After thoroughly inspecting the Steel Platform, Roger stood on the platform of the Sky Cable Car.
Several Walker Demon nearby had already activated the cable car device under his instructions.
Not long after.
A buzzing sound came from the platform.
A red cable car slowly emerged from the platform.
Roger was the first to step up.
Several bolder individuals quickly followed.
After gathering 20 people.
The cable car slowly started moving! It then rapidly ascended.
Things in Mystra are getting smaller and smaller.
Very soon.
All that remained beneath Roger's feet were countless tiny black dots.
Hint: You have ridden the ' Sky Cable Car '
"Your Chronicles has been updated with a new chapter: Above the Sky"
"You have arrived at 'Transit Station 3'."
"Exploration: You have discovered a new map: The Lower Level of the Astral White Whale. Please continue your exploration to obtain more XP pools..."
20 minutes later.
Roger stepped off the cable car that was parked on the platform.
now.
He was already on a high-altitude platform tens of thousands of kilometers above the ground.
Before him lay boundless darkness.
Below lies a hazy continent.
But then I looked up.
The enormous body of the Astral White Whale was almost touching his face! Roger observed for a moment.
This is confirmed to be the end point of the Sky Cable Car.
As long as you successfully get through the 'climb' ahead.
Then cross several platforms made of unknown materials.
We should be able to reach the belly of the Astral White Whale soon! So Roger took the lead.
Not long after leaving the platform.
Roger then encountered two chubby little guys!
"Hint: You have encountered 2 Alarm Robot."
"Warning: You have discovered a Salvation Army camp!"
"Um?"
If the former surprised Roger...
The latter undoubtedly brought him great surprise.
"The Salvation Army's claws have already reached into the Above the Sky so quickly?"
Looking at the densely packed campsites on the platform above.
Roger's brow furrowed slightly.
Look at it like this.
These people didn't just arrive!
Their main force has probably already ventured deep into the Astral White Whale! "Vilan..."
Roger had just sensed something.
A prompt flashed before his eyes.
"A large number of units eligible for the Ascension Mission have been detected. Enable ' Ascension Mission '?"
