Worth Collecting!

Ba Di stopped his flight, and the fiery red flames that had been propelling him at high speed instantly extinguished in front of him. The extreme speed stopped abruptly without any buffer, and the transition from extreme speed to a complete stop was completed in an instant, creating a dazzling visual impact.

High-Frequency Oscillating Giant Blade, accompanied by an extremely high-frequency hissing sound, swept across the tip of his nose, bringing with it a scorching, vibrating buzzing sensation.

"Combination Transforming Machine!"

Ba Di stared at the 3,500-meter-tall giant Mechanical Jellyfish with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This level of technology once again refreshed Ba Di's understanding of Brainiac's technological capabilities. An entire Space Base was a huge, modular mechanical war fortress. This was truly an extravagant undertaking, simply...

It's like technology was delivered to his doorstep, warmth was sent from outer space! "Begin collecting individual biological data!"

"Extract from database, target: Kryptonian Bloodline creatures."

"Energy intensity... unknown!"

"Strength of biological cells... unknown!"

"Destruction power level... Planetary level! Individual planetary level combat capability!"

"It has collectible value!"

"The Sentinel's Last Mission..."

"Collect and monitor combat data; transmit data over long distances via hyperspace; proceed!"

Located at the center of the Mechanical Jellyfish, the Sentinel Control System instantly activated Brainiac's data collection program, determining that it was necessary to collect data from Ba Di. It then began collecting combat data to gather sufficient information for Brainiac's arrival.

It was carrying out a final long-distance information transmission. Why the final one? Because the Sentinel System detected that there was a greater than 99.9999% chance that it would fail, either by self-destructing or being destroyed.

At this point, the final mechanism inherent in the program is activated, utilizing the last sentinel base station to launch a full-scale attack and gather enough data for Brainiac.

The tentacles immediately went berserk, blotting out the sky and raging wildly in space. Countless tentacles formed various attack patterns at their tips, slashing madly at Ba Di.

High-Frequency Oscillating Giant Blade, laser beams, Matter Disintegration Ray, Ionized Plasma Burst, Shrinking Ray, pulse cannons... and all sorts of attacks came rushing towards Ba Di in a seemingly chaotic swarm. Countless tentacles continuously blocked Ba Di's space, some real and some fake, providing cover for the attacks.

Ba Di was moved and became more and more delighted as he looked around. He quickly lashed out and moved about among his tentacles.

Long ago, he wanted to transform the Emperor Tower into a giant mechanical Gundam that could combine, move, and transform. However, due to limitations in hardware technology, metals, and raw materials, he could only regretfully create a massive base, the Emperor Tower.

The appearance of this metallic Mechanical Jellyfish made Ba Di ecstatic. This technologically integrated Space Base combination could completely realize Ba Di's mobile Space Base.

Once Ba Di acquires this Mechanical Jellyfish, modifies it, and places it in space, he will have a space monitoring base that can transform at any time, and then launch space-based laser weapons to strike the ground.

On Earth, with just a single command from him, without any action required, a laser beam would automatically fire, enough to wipe out any empire on the surface.

He had almost decided on the future of this jellyfish, and had already thought of changing the method, modifying the mechanical model, and directly manufacturing it into a 3,000-meter-tall Gundam.

These days, who doesn't have a hobby?

Just imagine, having a 3,000-meter-tall Gundam fighting for you in the universe, even Brainiac's technological power—if you could conquer him and get him to create a batch of super Gundams, Gundams the size of planets, Gundams the size of the sun, countless super Gundams sweeping across the universe, just thinking about it makes Ba Di feel excited.

The laser beam shone hotly on the side of his face, leaving a warm sensation.

'stuffy...'

A thick, pump-like metal tentacle came crashing down on him. He caught it with his fingers, and with a dull, resonant sound, the tentacle snapped off and continued its downward slash.

Ba Di held the broken tentacle, frowning slightly in regret.

He had come to regard it as his own, cherished it, and couldn't bear to damage even a single inch of the Mechanical Jellyfish, because it was all his own.

Then came a fierce storm, with countless tentacles of energy converging and surrounding Ba Di in a well-organized manner. The tentacles lashed out at him relentlessly, accompanied by energy supplies, missiles, and beam particle attacks, erupting like fireworks in the dark space.

The tentacles, like seaweed, frantically lashed out, solely to provoke Ba Di's attack and gather data.

Ba Di was like a nimble fish swimming among the seaweed, constantly weaving through the seaweed, its wildly flailing tentacles unable to strike Ba Di body even once.

Ba Di frowned, looking at the dense tentacles. He really didn't want to destroy this valuable mechanical creation.

Unfortunately, this mechanical creation wouldn't follow Ba Di's wishes; instead, it would use all its weapons and artillery to attack Ba Di, attempting to provoke Ba Di into an offensive and Destruction his Desire.

Of these attacks, only the Shrinking Ray Gun and the Matter Disintegration Ray can harm Ba Di, but obviously, hitting Ba Di is extremely difficult.

Even if it hits, it will only cause Ba Di to lose energy, and will not cause Ba Di much harm.

Ba Di's current physical strength is beyond the reach of ordinary space weapons. If it were a Planet Destroyer Cannon or an antimatter annihilation cannon, it could injure Ba Di. But the Sentinel Space Base is slightly less effective against him now.

Ba Di Penetrative Vision and Telescopic Vision simultaneously, his brows furrowed as he peered through the Mechanical Jellyfish. Through layers of cold, mechanical metal, his gaze reached the center of the Mechanical Jellyfish, where he saw a green figure covered in ports and connected wires.

'Bang'

Instead of dodging, Ba Di charged directly at the center of the Mechanical Jellyfish's massive head. Countless tentacles blocked his way, only to be broken off, sparks flying as they snapped. He felt a pang of regret at the sight of them being broken.

He originally wanted to take over the Space Base completely, but this crazy attack was wasting too much of the Space Base's energy. Ba Di couldn't stand it anymore; these were all his spoils of war, how could he tolerate their waste?

Further delays will only waste too much of the Space Base's energy, making it unbearable.

Countless beams of light shot directly at his body, including Shrinking Ray and Matter Disintegration Ray, which struck him Ba Di in the chest.

In an instant, Ba Di's body suddenly shrank to the size of an ant as it flew, a peculiar phenomenon. The Mechanical Jellyfish, which was already enormous, now had even larger tentacles.

Ba Di felt a strange particle seeping into his body from the outside world in almost proportional proportion, shrinking any energy in his body and affecting his physique.

However.

The moment after Ba Di took flight, his body shrunk from the size of an ant back to its original size in an instant. The shrunken particles were dissipated by Ba Di, and he regained his original size, charging into the center of the mechanical watertight head.

Ba Di tore through the mechanical shell, piercing through the cold metal and smashing through countless robots. The tentacles chasing him surged like frantic snakes, following Ba Di's figure all the way to the central control, where a green figure stood before him.

"Data transfer... complete!"

The sentry opened its green eyelids, glanced at Ba Di, and showed no emotion whatsoever.

Ba Di showed no mercy, plunging his fingers directly into the sentry's dark eye, splattering green blood, and pulling a chip from its brain.

The chip was charred black, and the circuit spontaneously combusted, emitting a burnt smell.

The entire Mechanical Jellyfish's tentacles drooped instantly, the Mechanical Jellyfish stopped operating, and the tentacles floated limply in space.

Overjoyed, Ba Di quickly flew to the outside of the Mechanical Jellyfish and pushed the entire giant Mechanical Jellyfish back to Earth, making it his trophy.

In the deep universe, in the distant starry sky of a galaxy.

The entire planet is made of machinery, a super mechanical planet constructed with a cold, metallic finish.

At the very center of that mechanical planet, a tall, green figure bowed its head, with thick data cables connecting its back and head.

Suddenly, Brainiac raised his head, opened his dark eyes, and the data transmitted over the vast distance of time and space piqued his interest in collecting it.

"A Kryptonian, unique and possessing collectible value!"
