151: Fusion of magic weapons
Passing through the chaotic, blasted-out corridor, breaking through the defensive zone filled with laser traps and high-voltage electric grids, and eliminating wave after wave of fearless android guards and combat robots.
Lu Zhifei finally arrived before the incredibly thick, final alloy door of the main control room.
Upon the door, a complex energy lock and biometric System flickered.
But this could not stop her.
Her third arm extended, and from its fingertips, several probes thinner than a hair popped out, precisely inserting into the energy lock's interface.
Massive amounts of data began to surge in, and the decryption program ran at high speed.
In less than ten seconds, accompanied by a soft "click," the door slowly opened.
Inside the main control room, a dim blue light flowed.
In the very center, inside that massive culture tank, the "Dawn Morningstar" core arm, shimmering with a silvery-white metallic luster, floated quietly, emitting an ancient and powerful aura.
However, standing before the culture tank was a figure she had not expected.
It was her direct superior, the institute's chief scientist—Dr. Allen.
At this moment, Dr. Allen's face no longer held its usual gentle smile; it was replaced by an inhuman coldness and eeriness.
His eyes had shockingly transformed into two constantly rotating, scarlet compound eyes!
"Researcher Lu, you really have impressed me." Dr. Allen, or rather, the Zerg high-ranking entity occupying his body, spoke in a voice that had become sharp and twisted.
"To think you could achieve this much right under our noses. Unfortunately, this is the end for you."
"Wanting Fusion with the Divine Weapon? Do you think we would let you have your way?"
"The power of the Divine Weapon shall be controlled by the great Hive Will!"
"Originally, I wanted to keep you around for a while longer; after all, your intelligence is indeed very useful, but now, I have no choice but to completely control you."
After Zerg control, a person's inspiration would be suppressed, leading to a decline in R&D capabilities.
This was also the reason why they had not directly controlled Lu Zhifei all this time.
But now, Lu Zhifei had decided to rebel, so they had no choice but to drop the facade.
To perform deep mental control.
Before the words even finished, the walls of the main control room suddenly cracked open, and several thick, purple tentacles covered in viscous liquid whipped toward Lu Zhifei like lightning!
"Get lost!"
Lu Zhifei's eyes turned fierce as her third arm slammed into the ground!
Hum—!
A ring-shaped repulsive field instantly erupted, knocking back the attacking tentacles.
At the same time, she rushed toward the culture tank without hesitation, pressing both hands onto the glass cover!
"Activate highest authority! Initiate forced Fusion program!"
Her voice, via neural connection, directly issued the command.
The third arm glowed intensely, bypassing the layers of traps and firewalls set by Dr. Allen, and forcibly took over the culture tank's control System!
"How dare you!!!"
The Zerg high-ranking entity disguised as Dr. Allen let out a shriek of shock and rage, and those purple tentacles became even more violent, attacking Lu Zhifei like a torrential storm!
The ground cracked open, and more Zerg tissue surged out, attempting to devour her!
Lu Zhifei gritted her teeth, enduring the immense pressure.
The glass cover of the culture tank slowly opened, and that Star Core Divine Weapon arm, shimmering with Holy Light, began to dock with the interface reserved on her right arm!
Hiss, hiss, hiss—!
Countless fine, silvery-white metal filaments, as if possessing life, extended from the Divine Weapon arm, piercing into Lu Zhifei's flesh, nerves, and even bones!
An indescribable, excruciating pain washed over her like a tidal wave!
That was power beyond the mundane reshaping her body; it was the ancient technology of the Protoss resonating with her genes!
But at the same time, an unprecedentedly powerful force began to awaken and surge within her!
Her vision was filled with infinite light, and fragments of ancient Protoss knowledge surged into her mind like a torrent!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Lu Zhifei let out a cry that was both painful and exhilarating!
Boom—!!!
A vast and majestic silvery-white energy shockwave erupted with her as the center!
The entire main control room trembled violently under this power!
Those violent purple tentacles, those Zerg tissues attempting to devour her, melted away like snow before this holy and pure energy!
The Zerg high-ranking entity occupying Dr. Allen's body let out a shrill scream, its body instantly torn to shreds by the torrent of energy, reverting into a disgusting pile of insect corpses.
Fusion, complete!
As the light faded, Lu Zhifei slowly straightened her body.
Her right arm had been replaced by that Star Core Divine Weapon arm, shimmering with silvery-white luster and filled with streamlined aesthetics and explosive power.
On the arm, runes flowed, and the energy core emitted a low hum.
Just by gently clenching her fist, she could feel the power sufficient to tear through steel!
And that third arm she had secretly crafted was now like the most loyal partner, working in perfect synergy with the Divine Weapon arm, providing energy assistance and precise control support.
At this moment, Lu Zhifei was like a futuristic Valkyrie, a Fusion of technology and Divine Power!
She could feel that a wonderful connection, like a shared Bloodline, had been established between herself and this Divine Weapon.
She was the Divine Weapon! The Divine Weapon was her!
【Congratulations! Successfully completed Fusion with Star Core Divine Weapon (Incomplete) · Dawn Morningstar!】
【Your class has advanced to — Star Dome Armed Mechanic (Gold Legendary Hidden Class)!】
【You have acquired a new exclusive skill tree and talents!】
"It took a full few years, but I have finally obtained my initial goal in this world!"
"It is time to leave."
She looked up, her gaze piercing through layers of obstacles, looking toward the sky of Tianshu City, which was covered by a jungle of steel.
She waved her right arm gently.
Rumble—!!!
The incredibly thick alloy wall of the main control room was instantly blasted through by an invisible force, as if it were made of paper!
A huge gap appeared before her eyes, revealing the heavily guarded institute corridor outside.
Countless alarms went off frantically again, and more android guards and combat robots were surging in from all directions.
There was no longer any fear in Lu Zhifei's eyes.
Possessing the power of the Dawn Morningstar, these ants could no longer block her path!
She took a step forward, her figure turning into a streak of silver lightning as she charged into the enemy ranks!
Every punch was accompanied by a terrifying force that seemed to warp space!
Every energy burst was like the explosion of a miniature star!
Those enemies she once had to carefully deal with were now, before her, fragile and vulnerable!
She was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable!
The sounds of explosions, screams, and the wailing of metal...
Merged into one behind her!
She pushed through everything, unstoppable and destructive!
Finally, accompanied by an earth-shattering boom, the outer alloy armor of the Tianshu City secret institute, which claimed to be impregnable, was forcibly blasted open with a huge hole!
A streak of silver light, like a Phoenix breaking free from its cage, shot into the sky and disappeared into the complex steel jungle of Tianshu City!
Leaving behind only chaos, and the terrified, desperate shrieks of countless androids within the institute.
