Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 432: Chapter 178: Endless Day and Night (Part 2)

To deal with Mechanics, Hugh Laurie made at least three preparations.

The first is the Corporate Will: Pale Angel, which is the open card.

The second is the Ancient Virtual Machine: Spider Goddess, the hidden card.

The third is the Continent Plate Impact Device, the physical card.

This is the capital of a rising giant.

If it were purely players doing this mission, at most, it would just bring down the Illusion Mansion.

Then be taken out in a wave by the Continent Plate Impact Device.

Legendary ending, legendary ending.

But for Gao Gong, it’s a different story.

Xiao Yu glanced confusedly at the destroyed buildings and people, this level of earthquake, a standard human tragedy.

”Boss—”

”Hmm.”

”I might do something wrong again.”

”Oh,” Gao Gong said calmly, ”then what are you waiting for, go quickly.”

According to the original plan, after blowing up most of the ’Data Hubs’, Xiao Yu would go to the Business District to take out the high-ranking members of the Illusionary Union.

But apparently, Master Xiao was kind-hearted, unable to bear such tragedies.

”But I must remind you, this world is vast, and some existences are destined to be uncuttable by blades.”

Gao Gong looked at that ’large Level 3 Civilization architecture’, thinking that using a knife to cut this thing is not a notion that usual fools would come up with.

Why don’t you try slicing through the continent?

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, his mechanical energy rapidly rising, under various state boosts, there was a vague sense of Gao Gong’s transformation.

In the next moment, the Destruction Domain opened again.

Dense grids extended out, covering that giant pillar, yet there was not a single grid on the pillar’s surface.

’Level 3 Civilization architecture, using a material from the memory metal category, and it’s a composite structure, even an Energy Cannon might not blast it open.’

In Gao Gong’s impression, only some top military contractors would produce such freakish creations.

Moreover, how did such a big thing get smuggled in? Was no one checking, or did they use space storage equipment?

Xiao Yu didn’t overthink as Gao Gong did, once she made up her mind, her skull was harder than a monk’s.

”I want to slay you!”

One-fold Sound Burst, two-fold Sound Burst, three-fold Sound Burst, four-fold Sound Burst, five-fold Sound Burst, six-fold Sound Burst, seven-fold Sound Burst, eight-fold Sound Burst...

When Xiao Yu’s Sound Burst speed reached double digits, from an outsider’s perspective, it looked like a meteor falling from the sky.

Ever since Xiao Yu entered the city, Xiao Yuanshan, or rather the old Mechanical Armor Soldier, had been watching this side, and upon seeing this, he couldn’t help but mutter.

”Celestial Base landing!”

That was the glory of the Imperial Mechanic Transformers.

Relying on terrifying mechanical manipulation techniques, they directly fell from outer space, occupying planets one by one, expanding the empire’s territory.

Now Xiao Yu’s technique nearly perfectly replicated the top batch of the empire’s Super Soldiers.

However, in the next moment, the second ’Earth Rumble’ began.

Xiao Yu had never felt this uncomfortable before, as if the space shattered into pieces, and she herself was torn into pieces as well.

The jetting energy, upon entering within 500 meters of the ’giant pillar’, directly disintegrated, the Dragon Scale Greatsword striking the pillar body was once again blasted away by a horrifying impact force.

The blade stabbed into the ground, skidding for a full hundred meters, with a ’crack’, the Tier 2 War Weapon’s hardest blade part directly cracked, a third of the gears stalled, and the blade was billowing smoke.

Facts proved that Seed Burst could not resolve the issue.

The only benefit was that it revealed the defense value of this thing.

9978550/10000000

Under the opponent’s burst, slashing down a building of a Level 3 Civilization with over twenty thousand damage, it was enough to prove that the five templates weren’t added for nothing.

However, the opponent’s defense is in ten million units.

Xiao Yu shakily stood up, her entire mechanical body full of cracks.

Mechanical body damage at 32%.

Selling land doesn’t hurt the heart.

Fortunately, Gao Gong had anticipated this move, with a thought, memory metal cells were activated.

In the next moment, visibly, the cracks began to heal, and in just three breaths, the mechanical body was fully restored.

The mechanical body’s blood volume was also filled again.

Dual Alloy Inner Skeleton (Memory Metal Cells 56%, Titanium Alloy Content 44%) (Tier 3: Fine): A mechanical shell imitated from Level 3 Civilization metal, any strike will recover due to memory metal reshaping, losses below 50% recover in five seconds, above 50% damage recovers in 10 seconds, every 30 hours limit: 500%.

To implant these memory metal cells, Gao Gong’s Mechanical Body Transformation Rate used up a full 20%.

But the effect was outstanding.

Even with Xiao Yu’s actions, Gao Gong’s mechanical body would not collapse as it did last time.

”Want more?”

”Yes!!!”

Gao Gong didn’t speak, just opened the ’Particle Disruption Field’ again when the opponent charged up again, and also enchanted the opponent’s blade with ’Solidified Energy’.

The effect was excellent, the cost was heavy.

The damage soared directly to fifty thousand; if it wasn’t a Level 3 Civilization architecture being dealt with, this number would have increased several folds for sure.

That is definitely a terrifying number.

At the same time, a three-meter-long crack appeared on the ”Golden Cudgel.”

As for the cost, it was Xiao Yu’s arm, half of his upper body, all disintegrated.

The vibration of the ”Continent Plate Impact Device” has exceeded the normal energy range, reaching the space level. In gaming terms, all of it is true damage.

Gao Gong’s mechanical body, with over 7,000 blood volume, was instantly drained.

The damage rate of the mechanical body suddenly soared to over 60%.

The Dragon Scale Greatsword directly shattered into two pieces.

If it weren’t for the ”Memory Metal” having a very buggy ability that ignores instant death.

Xiao Xiaobai Fool, plus Gao Gong’s mechanical body, would have really perished.

A large number of mechanical cracks once again restored, the damaged parts repaired as if with special effects from a sci-fi movie.

Just as Xiao Yu silently picked up the broken sword, preparing for the third impact, Gao Gong stopped him.

”Wait a moment.”

”Hm?”

”Maybe if we wait a little longer, it will stop running on its own.”

Gao Gong accompanied Xiao Yu in fooling around for two reasons; one was that he wanted to test the strength of the Memory Metal, after all, the Cyber Test Field had too many strange things, and having an extra resurrection skill could be useful if an advanced civilization’s weapon suddenly struck him dead.

Secondly, the situation was already largely under his control; it was time to engage in some flashy maneuvers, otherwise, how can the main character have a breakthrough?

Oh, sorry, I am the main character.

...

Inside the Data Core, one black and one white illusory figure were still entangled. However, both the Mechanic and the Pale Angel had the ”Worm Sword” stabbed into them.

There was no choice; either party had reached the most crucial moment. If the Mechanic took another step, he could touch the core of the old Mechanic and absorb it completely.

As for the Pale Angel, there was only this one chance; should the Mechanical Main Brain react, it could wipe it out directly from a physical level.

Amidst a fight between the snipe and the clam, Gao Gong could act out recklessly.

The ”Big Data” condensed by the players was repeatedly striking them, inflicting little harm but being extremely humiliating.

But overall, the Pale Angel had the upper hand; each impact of the ”Continent Plate Impact Device” on the ground could cause the Mechanical Hub to go into downtime.

The Mechanic, on the other hand, seemed to be exhibiting signs of disconnection with each impact.

...

At the Data Center, Dr. Murray, who could perceive this scene, made a decision. He opened a data directive and then sent it out.

The next moment, centered around him, all employees froze, their flesh directly starting to melt.

This was the final algorithm boost—the Employee Cleansing Program.

First, the employees, then the Peacekeepers, and next the Council members of Nightless City.

These people had one thing in common: they all had the latest fourth-generation chips installed in their heads.

The fourth-generation chip had a backdoor, which could enhance computational power through changes in the chemical composition of the human body.

Of course, the side effects were apparent as well, leading to direct bodily disintegration.

”For the final Human Completion!”

With those words, Dr. Murray himself melted straight away.

...

And with the last surge of massive computational power, the ”Pure White Angel” gambled everything. Countless source codes of the Mechanical Main Brain appeared on its body surface; the more these source codes, the weaker the figure of the Mechanic became.

”You can never replace me!”

”I don’t need to,” the perfect flawless features of the ”Pure White Angel” gradually gave way to the features of Hugh Laurie, as he faintly smiled:

”You’re just my first step; my friends and I will completely transform the entire world.”

In the next moment, the Mechanic became the Pure White Angel, while the Pure White Angel overlapped with the Mechanic.

The mechanical system of Nightless City, the Mechanical Legion, and the underground Mechanical Hub—all authority belonged to one.

A surge of ecstasy rose from the depths of his heart.

”I finally did it!”

”Did you?”

The phantom of ”Gao Gong” suddenly appeared before him, grinning.

He inherited the authority of the ”Speakerless,” naturally enabling him to come in anytime.

”You seem to have forgotten something.”

”What did I forget?” Hugh Laurie frowned.

”You forgot the ’Laughing Bat’ virus I implanted in you.”

”I don’t think a mere virus can handle me now, such as—like this.”

With a single thought from Hugh Laurie, the next moment, a visible white light swept through, scattering, then disintegrating, the virus worms altogether.

”No, no, you might be misunderstanding something. Implanting so many viruses was never to kill you, nor to deal with you.”

”In a sense, it was to help you better assimilate the Mechanic, to better merge you and it. Didn’t you notice that the Mechanic’s resistance is weaker than you expected?”

”What?”

”Let me remind you of one more thing; this Mechanic went through a ’Mechanical Awakening.’ However, it did not awaken successfully, which is why the Twin Mechanics were born.”

”You’re thinking ’while the snipe and the clam battle, the fisherman profits,’ and that’s not wrong, even leveraging the Mechanic’s internal strife, visibly growing your power, becoming a new tycoon in the Brain Domain field. There is just one small issue.”

”Do you think, perhaps, the Corporate Will might awaken?”
