57: The final battle against Adam, thunder shatters dreams.

The air in the main control room seemed to have frozen.

The crystal brain floating in mid-air was currently emitting a heart-palpitating, eerie blue light.

As Adam's words, "Become a part of my evolution," fell, the mechanical tentacles that were originally still around them suddenly went berserk.

Click, click, click—a teeth-grinding sound of metal rubbing against metal rang out.

The floor of the main control room suddenly split open, and a massive metal platform slowly rose.

It was a giant mecha standing fifteen meters tall.

Its entire body was pitch black, with dark red energy patterns flowing across its surface, looking just like a demon god that had crawled out of hell.

The crystal brain descended slowly and embedded itself precisely into the core of the mecha's chest.

Hum—!!!

The mecha's eyes lit up instantly, and two crimson beams shot out, leaving two charred marks on the hall's walls.

【Divine Body (Tier 4 Lord Level)】

"Is this... the power of a god?"

Gu Nian looked at the behemoth before her, the tablet in her hand nearly slipping away.

Her data analysis showed that the energy index of this mecha had already gone off the charts.

It was simply not something that could be contended with by human power.

"A god?"

Gu Pingsheng sneered, having already swapped the desert eagle in his hand for that 【High-Energy Laser Cutter (purple)】.

"It's nothing more than an oversized toy."

He looked back at the women behind him.

"Are you afraid?"

Lin Qinghan tightened her grip on the High-Frequency Vibration Blade in her hand, her eyes resolute: "No."

Su Ruan giggled, the Silk Threads in her hands already filling the surrounding space: "Ruan Ruan wants to take it apart and make it a new toy!"

An An did not speak, simply silently fading into the shadows.

"Then... let's do it!"

Gu Pingsheng gave the order, and his whole body shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Boom!!!

The mecha raised its massive arm, and a micro-missile whistled out, heading straight for Gu Pingsheng.

"Ice Wall!"

Lin Qinghan shouted, slamming both hands onto the ground.

A thick Ice Wall rose from the ground, blocking Gu Pingsheng.

Rumble!

The missile slammed into the Ice Wall, exploding into a sky full of ice shards.

Although the Ice Wall shattered instantly, it bought Gu Pingsheng a precious second.

Using the shockwave from the explosion, Gu Pingsheng leaped high, slashing his laser cutter fiercely toward the mecha's knee joint.

Sizzle—!!!

The sound of the laser cutter slicing into metal was piercingly loud.

But the mecha's armor was too thick; this strike only left a deep scorched mark and did not sever the joint.

"Foolish insect!"

Adam's voice came from inside the mecha, filled with heavy mockery.

The mecha's other arm swung violently, swatting at Gu Pingsheng in the air like swatting a fly.

If this strike connected, Gu Pingsheng would definitely be turned into meat paste.

"Brother!"

Su Ruan screamed, her ten fingers moving in succession.

Countless transparent Silk Threads instantly entangled the mecha's arm, attempting to block its movement.

Snap, snap, snap—

The sound of the Silk Threads tightening was like breaking harp strings.

Although Su Ruan tried her best, the gap in power was too great.

The Silk Threads snapped one by one; the mecha's arm only paused for a moment before continuing to slam down with a whistling sound of wind.

Just at this critical moment.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on the mecha's shoulder.

It was An An!

The dagger in her hand stabbed fiercely into the gap at the mecha's shoulder joint.

Although the dagger couldn't cause substantial damage, she stuffed a 【High-Intensity Blinding Flashbang】 inside.

Boom!

The intense light exploded at the mecha's shoulder.

The mecha's movement stiffened instantly, and the arm that was originally swatting at Gu Pingsheng deviated from its course, slamming fiercely into the floor beside them.

Rumble, rumble—

The entire main control room was shaking.

Gu Pingsheng took the opportunity to land, performing a roll to dissipate the impact force.

He looked up at An An on the mecha's shoulder, a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

"Well done!"

But he knew this was just the beginning.

This mecha's defense was too monstrous; if they couldn't find a weak point, they couldn't make a dent in it.

"Gu Nian! Where is the weak point?!"

Gu Pingsheng roared while dodging the mecha's dense laser fire.

Gu Nian hid behind a piece of cover, her fingers tapping rapidly on the tablet.

Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her glasses had slid down to the tip of her nose.

"Analyzing... Its shield frequency is constantly changing... Give me ten seconds!"

Ten seconds.

In normal times, it might just be the blink of an eye.

But in a battle of this level, ten seconds was enough to die a hundred times over.

"Lin Qinghan! Su Ruan! Hold it off for me!"

Gu Pingsheng roared, the aura on his body changing abruptly.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Blue arcs of electricity began to dance on his body.

【Thunder Qilin】 state activated!

Immediately after, his muscles began to expand, and a metallic luster appeared on his skin surface.

【Flesh Overclocking】 activated!

Double status stacking!

At this moment, Gu Pingsheng felt the blood in his body burning.

That feeling of being filled with power made him want to let out a long howl to the sky.

"Come on! Big guy!"

He stomped his foot, and the ground instantly cracked.

His whole body turned into a blue bolt of lightning, rushing toward the mecha once again.

This time, his speed reached its limit.

The mecha's laser targeting system couldn't keep up with his movements at all.

Gu Pingsheng was like a nimble flea, constantly jumping and slashing on the mecha's massive body.

Every strike was accompanied by the bursting of electric arcs.

Although he couldn't inflict a fatal wound, he successfully attracted all of Adam's attention.

"Damned insect! I will crush you!"

Adam was furious.

The missile launch nests behind the mecha all opened.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Over a dozen micro-missiles, trailing long exhaust flames, locked onto Gu Pingsheng.

There was no way to dodge this!

"Captain!"

Lin Qinghan watched this scene, her eyes splitting with rage.

She rushed out regardless of everything, blocking in front of Gu Pingsheng.

"Absolute... Zero!"

She overdrawn all of her mental power.

A terrifying chill erupted with her as the center.

The surrounding air instantly solidified into ice crystals.

Those incoming missiles were actually frozen in mid-air!

Although it was only for a short moment.

But this was enough.

Boom, boom, boom—!!!

The missiles detonated in mid-air.

A massive fireball swallowed Lin Qinghan's figure.

"Qinghan!!!"

Gu Pingsheng felt his heart twitch violently.

He rushed into the sea of fire like a madman.

He saw Lin Qinghan half-kneeling on the ground, her combat suit already in tatters, revealing large patches of charred skin.

But she was still gripping the blade in her hand tightly, her eyes unfocused yet resolute.

"I... blocked it..."

She looked at Gu Pingsheng as he rushed over, a faint smile barely pulling at the corner of her mouth, and then her body went limp, and she collapsed.

Gu Pingsheng caught her, and looking at her wounds all over, the anger in his eyes instantly ignited his reason.

"Adam!!!"

He let out a beast-like roar.

Just at this moment.

Gu Nian's voice finally sounded.

Carrying a trace of trembling, yet incomparably clear.

"Found it! The shield gap is at the back of the neck! That is the neural hub connecting to the crystal brain!"

The back of the neck!

Gu Pingsheng looked up abruptly, staring fixedly at the back of the mecha's neck.

There was a piece of armor there that seemed slightly loose, and he could vaguely see the circuits inside.

"An An! Cover me!"

Gu Pingsheng gently placed Lin Qinghan on the ground and then rushed out again.

This time, he held nothing back.

All the power of thunder and lightning was condensed onto the laser cutter in his hand.

The blade, which was originally only half a meter long, now actually extended a three-meter-long blade of lightning!

"Want to ambush me? Keep dreaming!"

Adam seemed to have sensed Gu Pingsheng's intention.

The mecha turned abruptly, and its massive arm swept across.

But this was already within Gu Pingsheng's expectations.

"Su Ruan!"

"Got it, Brother!"

Although Su Ruan was also injured, she smiled even more crazily at this moment.

She bit the tip of her tongue, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Silk Threads in her hands.

The originally transparent Silk Threads instantly turned blood-red.

"Blood Puppet · Binding!"

Countless blood-colored threads tightly entangled the mecha's legs.

The mecha's figure paused abruptly.

Now is the time!

Gu Pingsheng stepped on the mecha's knee, using the force to leap high.

He traced a perfect arc in the air, avoiding the mecha's swinging arm.

His whole person was like a god descending, appearing above the back of the mecha's neck.

"Shatter... for me!!!"

Gu Pingsheng gripped the blade with both hands, using all his strength to stab down fiercely.

Sizzle—squelch!!!

The lightning spear pierced through that loose piece of armor without any obstruction.

Stabbing straight into the connection point of the crystal brain deep inside.

The violent power of thunder and lightning instantly poured in along the circuits.

"Ahhhhhh—!!!"

Adam let out a shrill, miserable scream.

That was not a human voice, but a noise of countless electronic sounds mixed together.

The mecha's massive body began to tremble violently.

The crystal brain in its chest began to flash wildly, and cracks appeared on its surface.

"Humans... you... are destined for extinction..."

"Divine punishment... will eventually arrive..."

With the last roar of unwillingness.

Boom!!!

A violent explosion occurred at the back of the mecha's neck.

The massive shockwave sent Gu Pingsheng flying away.

He adjusted his posture in the air, landing steadily on the ground.

Behind him.

That overbearing Divine Body collapsed with a loud crash.

The crystal brain shattered completely, turning into countless blue light spots and dissipating into the air.

Did they win?

Everyone looked at this scene, somewhat unable to believe it.

That Adam who called himself a god, was just finished off like this?

However.

Before everyone could even let out a sigh of relief.

The entire ruin suddenly began to shake violently.

The metal plates overhead began to fall, and huge cracks appeared on the surrounding walls.

"Warning! Warning! Core damaged! Self-destruct sequence initiated!"

"Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."

The cold electronic voice echoed in the main control room.

"Not good! It's going to blow!"

Gu Nian's expression changed drastically.

A self-destruct of this level for a ruin would absolutely be no less powerful than a small nuclear bomb.

By then, let alone them, even the spaceship outside would be affected.

"Run!"
