What kind of hammer is this?

In the corner, a senior researcher suddenly ripped off his headphones. The electronically recorded values made his temples throb. "This hammer strike's impact force is equivalent to a direct hit from a tank cannon?! Is this even a weapon a human could wield?!"

This shout silenced everyone.

Six hundred and sixty-six, the osmanthus has bloomed, and they're not even going to perform anymore.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't just Xiao Huasheng who was a numerical genius; the entire group under her command also had ridiculously high numerical values.

Outside the glass observation window, several fully armed MTF team members stood frozen in place.

They had fought against 354-4 before, and those who survived bore scars that would never heal.

At that moment, watching the monster's scales being torn off by the magic wand, someone unconsciously touched their own mutilated left arm.

That arm was turned into minced meat with just a gentle sweep from that tail.

Were those three people really human?

"Sir..." the young communications soldier's voice trembled, "Do we need backup?"

The commander responded calmly, "Let's just watch. They are entities summoned by 173-1. If we rush over, we might cause trouble."

At the same time, the commander saw Ai Er Lan wielding the 'Eye Lamp' hammer, and his eye twitched slightly.

Why is his former subordinate also in this group? When did he enter Pandora's Box?

The commander was completely baffled.

In the end, he fell silent and did not interfere in the battle.

The people in the Foundation were already used to the infamous name of Pandora's Box, and now they were surprised to see one of the members of this physical team.

Everyone said they had been amazed.

Even if Xiao Huasheng didn't personally intervene, would her subordinates alone possess such power?

What kind of monster is the Foundation collaborating with?

Are we just going to let these monsters roam freely like this?

This thought involuntarily popped into everyone's mind.

This place is quite far from the facility that originally housed Xiao Huasheng. Given the destructive power of Xiao Huasheng and her staff, it's not surprising that these Foundation personnel have such doubts now.

They simply had too little contact with Xiao Huasheng.

Meanwhile, the battle intensified.

Swish!

Roxy's spear struck again, this time piercing the monster's left shoulder with pinpoint accuracy!

But the lizard creature used the force of the piercing to spin its body, its tail slashing towards his helmet like a battle axe.

At the critical moment, Ai Er Lan parried with the handle of his hammer, and the Mars from the metal clashing ignited the cigarette he had put in his mouth again during the battle.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ku Tang moved closer and aimed at the lizard monster in front of him. With a whoosh, a rainbow-colored beam of light suddenly shot out from the tip of his magic wand, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on the monster's abdomen.

"Roar!!"

The lizard, writhing in pain, retaliated furiously, only to have its claws blocked by Roxy's shoulder EGO armor.

Roxy managed to withstand the onslaught with incredible speed, and all three of them simultaneously broke into smiles.

Chapter 94: EGO, Liberation! [3 Updates]

At the same time, he clenched his free left fist and slammed it heavily into the monster's jaw with his own strength! Then, he raised the spear in his right hand and mercilessly pierced through the monster's head.

Snap!

The sound of bone cracking was clearly audible.

The three of them executed a combination move with perfect coordination, leaving no room for error.

Just then, the lizard monster suddenly curled up, and strange slime seeped from between its scales.

When Roxy's spear pierced through its chest again, it let the weapon pass through its chest, and took the opportunity to wrap its tail around the spear shaft and swing it violently.

"Watch out!" Ku Tang exclaimed.

The Space Marines, weighing a full 300 kilograms, was swung around and was about to crash into a distant building.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Angela immediately activated the special function of EGO.

EGO Release!

"Shouldn't he be about to collapse by now?"

Suddenly, Ai Er Lan appeared behind the monster, unleashing the power he had been building up in his hammer, and the eyes on the hammer emitted an orange-yellow light!

With a loud bang!

The extremely high pressure blast slammed the monster into the ground!

The terrifying impact caused the surrounding area to tremble, and at the same time, a gust of wind blew outwards.

During this period.

Ku Tang grabbed Roxy with both hands and pulled him back safely.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the lizard monster staggered to its feet, revealing writhing flesh beneath its shattered scales.

It let out a threatening roar, glaring angrily at the three people before it.

The three warriors had reformed their triangular formation, their weapons once again gleaming with a dangerous light...

"I have a feeling this is a bit risky, but I'm tempted to help," Xiao Huasheng muttered to himself.

[Take a closer look. If the supervisor does everything, many things will fall into place.] Angela ate her popcorn, completely unconcerned about the employees' well-being.

After being dealt a heavy blow by Ai Er Lan.

The lizard monster couldn't stand up for a while in the deep pit, but it still had the will to live.

With such power, it's no wonder that this temporary outdoor facility was breached.

Seeing this, the three of them pulled each other together and glanced at Xiao Huasheng, who was eating popcorn and watching them.

"Keep it up! I believe you can do it!"

The red-haired Angel transformed into cheerleaders, encouraging the three of them from behind.

In fact, the three of them had no complaints at all. After all, they had experienced Xiao Huasheng's power and knew that she just wanted to train her employees.

All three felt they needed to prove themselves.

However, this period of good fortune was short-lived. With the liberation of EGO, some problems arose in Ai Er Lan.

Ai Er Lan's breathing began to become heavy.

His fingers trembled slightly, his knuckles turned white from excessive force, and the hammer handle creaked under the weight of his palm.

The eyes on the hammerhead still shone with an orange-yellow light, but that light was no longer stable; instead, it flickered like the heartbeat of some creature, echoing his increasingly chaotic thoughts.

Xiao Huasheng noticed something was wrong with his demeanor and asked Angela a question.

"What's wrong with him? I just thought he was really handsome, but now he looks like he's about to collapse?"

[Unleashing EGO Gear consumes their soul power, which will worsen their condition, but don't worry, it won't kill them, it will only corrupt them...] Angela said.

"Could it be like the state of the Queen of Hatred?" Xiao Huasheng still vividly remembered the Queen of Hatred's hysteria and her transformation into a basilisk.

[It's a similar process, only not as severe. He recovers after the madness, though he probably hasn't reached that limit yet.] Angela said.

"Is that so?" Xiao Huasheng looked at Ai Er Lan, sensing something was amiss.

Since they were both determined to train their employees, Xiao Huasheng didn't interfere too much.

Nobody wants to stay at Lobotomy Corporation forever; the red-haired Angel is just giving these employees a chance.

Ai Er Lan is not in good condition at the moment.

Blurred shadows began to appear at the edge of his vision, like ink seeping into reality; with each blink, those shadows deepened.

He could feel his own heartbeat.

No, that wasn't a heartbeat, but some heavier, more violent thumping coming from deep within his chest, each beat making his eardrums ache.

He looked down at his hands.

Dark red liquid seeped from between his fingers; it was unclear whether it was the enemy's blood or his own.

"Ha..." He chuckled softly, his voice hoarse and unlike his own.

Hammerhead's eyes suddenly shifted, staring intently at him.

Ai Er Lan suddenly looked up, her pupils contracting.

The lizard monster's roar sounded Distortion in his ears, as if seen through a thick pane of glass, distant and unreal.

A soft whisper came from his mind, like the voice of Big Bird speaking to him.

[Lure them away, and destroy those evil beings...]

Upon hearing this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Haa, haa..." Ai Er Lan gasped for breath, clutching his head, the cigarette in his mouth falling to the ground.

"Ai Er Lan, are you alright?" Ku Tang couldn't help but ask.

"Enduring pain is a necessary tempering for a warrior," Roxy said, glancing at Ai Er Lan. Though he said this, he was clearly still worried about his comrade.

"I'm fine, I'm feeling better. Let's focus on dealing with this guy in front of us."

Ai Er Lan picked up the burning cigarette butt from the ground, put it in his mouth, took one last drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

After taking the last breath, the lizard monster that had been knocked to the ground stood up.

The lizard monster's body slowly rose from the deep pit, its scales peeling off like tree bark to reveal the writhing flesh beneath.

Its left forelimb Distortion and deformed, with bone fragments protruding from the joint. Dark green blood gushed from the wound left on its abdomen, corroding the ground and creating a hissing pit.

It suddenly grabbed the edge of the pit with its right claw and launched its entire body out!

Its body, over four meters tall, stretched out in mid-air, its tail whipping out a sonic boom.

With a snap!

The bulging vertebrae rose up segment by segment, like a row of sharp saw teeth, and were about to crush the three of them.

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar erupted from between the blood-stained, sharp teeth, shattering all glass objects within a ten-meter radius.

His chest, severely damaged by the EGO Release from Ai Er Lan, now resembled a broken bellows, spewing out a bloody mist mixed with fragments of internal organs with each breath, but his vertical pupils burned with a ferocious light even more insane than before.

The dying monster launched its final charge.

Faced with a barrage of attacks, they were quickly put on the defensive.

The monster's frenzied attacks clearly indicated its intention to kill them, hoping to exchange one for another.

Even the lizard monsters completely abandoned their defenses and launched a fierce attack on them.

No matter how you try to ambush it, it remains unmoved.

Seeing this, Ku Tang shouted.

"This won't do! Use EGO Release quickly! If this continues, we'll suffer casualties!" She made the judgment instantly.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, the three of them used EGO Release again simultaneously.

The situation was reversed the moment liberation was achieved.

Chapter 95: Don't you like wearing clothes? [4 updates]

"Arcana Light-Splitting Slash!" Ku Tang shouted, firing a laser beam that repelled the lizard monster.

"Pierce."

Immediately afterwards, the spear in Roxy's hand suddenly extended, splitting as it pierced the lizard monster's body, thus immobilizing all its movements in a horrifying manner.

"The forest... the Black Forest must be protected, hehehehe."

With a low, eerie laugh, Ai Er Lan rushed forward and hurled the Eye Lamp in his hand at the lizard monster.

When the hammer strikes the monster.
