In the outer space of the Earth Ring Planet, two massive mechanical legions, one black and one white, were intertwined in formation, resembling two raging dragons chasing each other, constantly tearing pieces of flesh and scales from each other with their sharp claws. From a distance, broken mechanical parts fell like Rainstorm, with tens of thousands of casualties every second.
The two Mechanical Deity tumbled and rolled as they fought, their massive bodies incredibly agile. Their heavy weapons, imbued with immense energy, clashed wildly, each strike possessing the power to shatter a planet, leaving horrifying wounds on each other's bodies. The efficiency of their Nano Repair methods could barely keep up with the rate at which their bodies were damaged.
Each clash of weapons sent shockwaves shattering large numbers of mechanical units that were too close. Occasionally, a Mechanical Deity would be knocked away, its massive body rolling across the battlefield of the mechanical legion like a giant elephant crushing a swarm of ants, bursting into flames as countless mechanical units were directly crushed, friend or foe alike.
The machine's various parts transformed into endless turrets, with Psionic Energy cannons and dark energy rays unleashing countless chains of light that lashed out like wildly dancing whips, eroding the opponent's shields and generating large arcs of electricity.
As the two sides clashed fiercely, the energy reaction on the battlefield escalated, creating a chain reaction that resulted in clusters of dark blue energy clouds. These clouds were incredibly solid and contained destructive power, forming an environment similar to the Psionic Energy Restriction Belt of the Three Universal Civilizations' home planets.
The highly concentrated energy conflict effect turned the battlefield into an extremely condensed energy field with extremely unstable spatial curvature. Light rays were distorted here, and the trajectories of directly projected energy rays exhibited huge arcs and exaggerated angles.
Looking across the battlefield towards the starry sky, it's as if through a strange lens, with intense astigmatism. Each starlight splits into hundreds, outlining irregular patterns. At first glance, it seems as if the world has turned upside down and the Stars have shattered!
Clang!!
The weapons clashed again, and a violent shockwave rippled through the machines. Both of them instinctively retreated, creating distance between themselves.
Han Xiao glanced at the Star Slaying Blade in his hand; a few dents and chips had appeared on the Blades, with faint, fine cracks.
Both being Universal Treasure, Manison's Mechanic Emperor Trident is a model that has been improved many times, making it more powerful and durable. Having been used in too many direct confrontations, the Star Slaying Blade's durability has declined at a faster rate.
However, the Star Slaying Blade is made of a material he developed himself, the Ninth Generation Black Star Alloy. Although its toughness is not as good as the self-created material that the Mechanic Emperor has improved over the years, it has some of Han Xiao's own characteristics, and its repair speed is slightly better. The durability of the Star Slaying Blade will slowly recover automatically.
From the moment Han Xiao arrived with the fleet and launched his attack, to the moment the two fought so fiercely that the sky and stars were dimmed, not much time had passed. However, due to their extremely high speeds, the number of collisions had already reached tens of thousands.
"You're a truly amazing person. Just when others think they've figured you out completely, you always manage to surprise them."
Manison's electronic eyes flashed as he looked down to check his equipment, his feelings a mix of emotions.
The energy-conversion Universal Treasure armor, created by imitating Black Star's Undying Body, is already damaged in many places. The equipment itself is not yet perfect. Now, the power of Black Star's attacks far exceeds that of the last time, and it can even deliver a few critical hits from time to time, which has exceeded the equipment's tolerance limit.
Moreover, every time Black Star unleashes an explosive attack with the suffix "Getter Wave Fist," he harasses him once in the private channel.
Manison had been counting in his mind. So far, Black Star had used it a total of twenty-seven times, with no two moves being the same. The different trajectories of the floating energy gathering devices would produce different types of special attacks. Even with his perspective, he felt that this technique was unique and remarkable.
The damage to the Mechanical Deity was manageable, as it could be absorbed by mechanical soldiers to recover. However, some of the damage penetrated the Mechanical Deity and affected the Overlord Dominion at its core, significantly reducing the Dominion's durability. Manison's clone was not Undying Body; once it shattered, there was nothing that could be done.
"In your current state, you can't possibly fulfill your arrogant words. If you want to take the Space-Time Amber from me, you'd better show me your true abilities!"
Han Xiao ran his hand over the Blades of the Star Slaying Blade, quickly repairing the minor cracks, and grinned at Old Manison.
"Https://www. hetushu. com. com"... We are virtual mechanics, but your fighting style is more like that of a mecha warrior... cough, an armed mechanic, you've gone astray, kid."Manison said calmly.
"As long as you can fight, that's enough, isn't it?" Han Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, strength itself has no limits; being able to fight is more important than anything else... In that case, let me show you the true power of a virtual mechanic."
Manison raised his arm, his trident pointing towards the portal to the Secondary Dimension Army Box.
The next moment, the portal rippled, and a large group of special mechanical soldiers flew out. These were the very soldiers he was famous for— the Immortal Mechanic Emperor's troops, special soldiers built around AI life forms.
However, the most eye-catching figures were the three figures in front of the Immortal Mechanic Emperor's forces, unabashedly releasing Beyond Grade A energy fluctuations, their energy surging like stars in perception.
Han Xiao stared intently at the three figures, each of different species, a mixture of biological tissue and mechanical devices, clearly indicating at a glance that they were highly modified mechanical implants.
His entire body was covered in sophisticated machinery, most of his skin was replaced with a special alloy, and his face was replaced with a metal mask, making it impossible to recognize his former appearance. All that could be seen were his eyes, which had been transformed into mechanical electronic eyes and were flashing red.
"These are Convict..." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
The Convict are Old Manison's trump card. Using advanced biological modification and biomechanical implantation technology, they transform superhumans into powerful war machines, replacing most of their internal organs.
In particular, the brain, through mechanical technology, simulates and recreates biological tissue, altering the thought activity patterns of neural synapses, transforming them into a readable and writable state, and rewriting thought logic.
Furthermore, virtual technology is used to upload the mind and consciousness of the modified individual to the quantum network, altering the nature of the consciousness and transforming the biological soul into a virtual intelligent life form. Like other intelligent beings, this life form is immune to all mental spells or superpowers, obeys the controller's commands, and retains the original body's combat experience.
After the modification, the Convict retained most of their original abilities, but due to the replacement of a large amount of biological tissue, their strength was not as great as before. However, it was precisely because of this special modification that they could enjoy some of the Mechanical Force enhancement from their controllers. Even though the conversion rate was not as high as that of normal mechanical soldiers, their actual combat power was more terrifying than before!
"To perform live modification on Beyond Grade A? Aren't you afraid the Higher Civilization and Development Federation will cause you trouble by doing this?" Although Han Xiao knew perfectly well what was going on, he pretended not to know and asked.
"Ha, they were all my spoils of war. I have the right to dispose of them as I please. I modified them long before the association was established. As for the Three Universal Civilizations, do you think they know nothing about them?" Manison said calmly.
All the Beyond Grade A that fell into Manison's hands disappeared without a trace. Naturally, there were various speculations about this among the circles of advanced civilizations and Beyond Grade A. Although they did not know about the existence of the Convict, there were also hypotheses about live modification. It was just that the impression of the research fanatic of the Mechanic Emperor was too deep. It was hard to imagine that he would not dissect and study the Beyond Grade A he had acquired.
After all, they don't have Space-Time Amber like Black Star, so they can afford to open an exhibition hall.
Manison rarely used this trump card, because every time he used it, outsiders would gain more intelligence, and he almost never encountered an enemy for whom he needed to use Convict.
Black Star was one of the very few opponents he felt was worth using this trump card against.
Sizzle!
The Mechanical Force shot out like lightning, connecting with three Convict of different sizes.
The three Convict' eyes flashed red, and their aura surged wildly.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!
The Convict in the middle shuddered and unleashed his own Mechanical Force lightning, drawing the mechanical forces of the surrounding Mechanic Emperor to converge upon him. His size rapidly increased, and blinding electric light enveloped the entire area, with silver snakes dancing wildly!
The next moment, five distinct cone-shaped mechanical tails suddenly lashed out, and an enormous machine emerged from the air. It had a humanoid appearance, but also possessed animal-like organs. Its five long tails resembled five spears, and its fingers extended sharp claws, making it look extremely ferocious Berserk.
--The third Mechanical Deity has descended!!
Han Xiao's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
This means that the true form of this Convict is a Divine Throne Mechanic who has mastered the [Combined Mechanical Deity] technique!
For a moment, he couldn't help but recall his first meeting with the Mechanic Emperor, when Old Manison had talked about AI Civilization, saying that behind it all was actually another Beyond Grade A mechanic who was behind it all, and it ended up becoming his collection... Maybe this Convict is that guy?!
Bang!
Just as he was speculating, the thrusters on the back of the half-beast Mechanical Deity sprang out, and the entire machine accelerated with a roar, charging forward in the blink of an eye, its sharp claws heading straight for Han Xiao's head.
Han Xiao reacted immediately, turning the Blades of his Star Slaying Blade to meet the attack head-on.
Clang!!
The two machines collided, causing a simultaneous shock. The half-beast Mechanical Deity, weakened by its power, was slashed away by the blade.
However, before Han Xiao could give chase, he saw the five tails of the half-beast Mechanical Deity suddenly whip around and wrap around the Star Slaying Blade and the arm holding the blade. A tremendous force surged, causing him to stumble!
On the other hand, the opponent not only stopped its retreat but also closed the distance, immediately entangled itself, and frantically clawed and scratched, leaving tear-like gaps in the outer armor.
At the same time, Manison seized the opportunity and thrust his halberd from the side. Han Xiao's movements were severely disrupted, and he was unable to block in time. His body was pierced through the waist.
"Hiss..."
The intense pain transmitted through the Mechanical Force neural network made Han Xiao gasp.
He could hold his own against Manison alone, but he struggled against two opponents.
This Mechanic Class Convict, enhanced by Manison's Mechanical Force, has become an extremely powerful Mechanical Deity. Even though its performance is inferior to his own and the Mechanic Emperor's, the difference isn't significant. Even in a one-on-one fight, he would have to put in considerable effort to defeat it; it's not something that can be easily dealt with.
Han Xiao glanced back and saw that the other two Convict did not attack his main body, but instead led the Immortal Mechanic Emperor's forces into the legion's battlefield, tearing open a huge gap like cleaving through waves to attack his mechanical legion.
One of these two Convict appeared to be a martial artist, while the other seemed to be a superhuman. They rampaged through the enemy territory as if they were nothing, their combat power overwhelming the Apostle Weapon, and they quickly slaughtered everyone in sight.
At this rate, within two hours, these two Convict would be able to dismantle all thirty-odd Apostle Weapon under their command.
"What terrifying combat power..." Han Xiao's exclamation came from the bottom of his heart; the Convict ' combat power had exceeded his expectations.
"Do you now realize how wrong it was to make an enemy of me? I warned you, but you've disappointed me time and time again!"
With a twist of his trident, Manison unleashed a burst of Psionic Energy, blasting Han Xiao's mech in two.
The half-beast Mechanical Deity immediately ripped open the chest of the machine with its claws, plucked out Han Xiao's main body inside, and held it in its hand. At the same time, its five tails lashed wildly, constantly scattering Han Xiao's mechanical soldiers around it to prevent them from recombining into Mechanical Deity.
Han Xiao struggled, but could not break free from the Mechanical Deity's grasp. Although his physical body was not afraid of being killed, it was difficult for him to shake the Mechanical Deity.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. He looked up at the massive machine and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"This move also has an obvious weakness: you'll need to bear the additional energy consumption of three Beyond Grade A weapons. How long can you sustain that?"
"So what? Does it really need that long to solve?"
Manison did not deny this weakness.
The Convict were modified with mechanical implants, losing a large number of cells that produce energy. To enable them to continue to exert their Beyond Grade A combat power, they naturally need corresponding energy, which is the responsibility of Manison.
Through the special energy conversion equipment of the Convict technology, Manison's single attribute Mechanical Force can be matched with Convict of different professions. However, the conversion rate is also harsh. If a Convict consumes 100 points of energy, he will have to spend 130 to 170 points, which is a very high burden, so his endurance drops sharply.
Now, with three Convict under his command, plus himself, he was essentially consuming the energy of five or six Beyond Grade A individuals. If it weren't for Manison's rapid mana regeneration, he would have been completely drained in just a few moments. Even so, it disrupted his mana regeneration balance, and his energy level was declining at a visible rate.
"You're right. If this were before, I would most likely have had to use Flash to escape, but unfortunately..."
Han Xiao shook his head, not flustered at all, but even a little about to laugh out loud.
Old Manison, I've been waiting for you to use this trick!
You think I only want to exploit your expertise today?
Our [https://m. hetushu. com. com Virtual Purification & Restoration] has been waiting for you for a long time!!
At this moment, Manison raised his massive mechanical arm, attempting to take Han Xiao from the half-beast Mechanical Deity.
But before it could go halfway, its wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by the claws of the beast-like Mechanical Deity, preventing it from advancing any further.
"Huh?" Manison was taken aback, looked up, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing...?"
Bang!!
Before he could finish speaking, five tails shot out and pierced his face simultaneously, tearing him apart!
Caught off guard, the Mechanical Deity's head exploded, turning into countless metal fragments!
The entire machine flew backward, tumbling twice before coming to a stop, leaving a huge gash on its neck.
"What happened?!"
The sudden turn of events left Manison somewhat bewildered, and a rare feeling of astonishment welled up within him.
Why did my Convict turn against me without any warning?!
