50: Chapter 50: Absorbing Metal and Mutating, an Invincible Troop Type Stuns the Prodigy!
A kilometer away, inside the command tower of the steel base.
A technological deity, a young girl wearing a silver combat suit, was overlooking the battlefield through a holographic screen.
On the screen, Lin Yuan and the group of flesh-and-blood monsters beneath him were projected.
"There are no energy shields, nor can I see any equipment." Unconcealed contempt flashed in the girl's eyes.
In the starry sky war chess sandbox, the technological side is an overpowered existence.
Especially the unit under her command, which was uniformly equipped with third-generation over-the-horizon fire control systems.
It had caused countless high school valedictorians to suffer defeat on the battlefield.
As long as they kept their distance, pure-blood lifeforms wouldn't even have the qualifications to approach the base.
She slid her finger across the control panel, issuing the order to fire.
"Lock on all channels, main guns fire at will. Carpet the area!"
As the order was given, the steel fortress began to awaken.
Dozens of tracked self-propelled artillery raised their thick barrels, and the recoil spades dug heavily into the ground.
In the front row, thousands of heavy electromagnetic infantry raised their rifles simultaneously, and the eerie blue electromagnetic arrays began high-frequency charging.
"Boom—!"
The sound of artillery fire tore through the sky.
Thousands of high-explosive armor-piercing shells dragged long, orange-red trails, intertwining with dense electromagnetic pulse beams.
Forming an airtight metal storm, covering the area where Lin Yuan was located.
Smoke and dust soared into the sky, and the earth trembled violently.
The destructive shockwave swept outwards, blowing away all the steel frames along its path.
Watching the skyrocketing damage values on the tactical panel, the girl couldn't help but reveal a cold smile of certain victory.
In her view, under this kind of firepower coverage.
The opponent's flesh-and-blood units, which lacked any equipment, wouldn't even survive a single volley and would definitely be blown into pieces of flesh filling the sky.
However.
When the smoke slowly dissipated under the blowing wind.
The smile on the girl's face froze.
Lin Yuan remained with his arms crossed, steadily floating in mid-air, not even the corner of his clothes was ruffled.
Beneath him, hundreds of Abyssal Blood Living-Metal Tyrant Demons following the "Titan" path.
Were stepping forward, facing the artillery fire pouring down from the sky.
The deep, dark liquid metal on the surface of the Titan Violent Demons was writhing, condensing along their arms into thick and exaggerated metal tower shields.
"Clang! Clang!"
Supersonic high-explosive armor-piercing shells, capable of penetrating tanks, smashed into these tower shields, erupting into clusters of blinding sparks.
But the result was merely blasting shallow dents on the surface of the tower shields.
They couldn't break through that perverted living metal armor at all!
A scene that made the girl's scalp tingle and couldn't help but blurt out "What the f***" appeared.
Those sharp shrapnel that luckily penetrated the shield defense and embedded into the surface of the Tyrant Demons.
Did not cause any secondary damage.
Instead, upon contacting the Tyrant Demon's flesh, they were wrapped by the writhing liquid metal.
Subsequently, the shrapnel melted and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was as if they were directly swallowed and assimilated by this group of monsters, converted into a part of their own armor!
"Absorbing metal? What kind of monsters are these!"
The girl put away her condescending contempt, her scalp tingling.
As a provincial prodigy, she had read the Encyclopedia of Ten Thousand Races thoroughly, but she had never seen such bizarre biological characteristics.
She realized that the opponent's kin were definitely not ordinary creatures, but at the very least, some kind of mutant race comparable to dragons.
"Infantry array, activate overload mode! Don't stop the firepower net!" She hurriedly organized the defense.
On the battlefield.
The Titan Violent Demons withstood the violent metal storm, forcefully crossing the kilometer-long death zone.
Crashing into the defense line of the heavy electromagnetic infantry.
The purely violent meat grinder was activated.
One by one, the Titan Violent Demons ignored the high-voltage electric shock protection on the infantry armor.
They extended their large hands wrapped in liquid metal, grabbing the heavy infantry's alloy exoskeletons with their bare hands.
"Rip!"
The sound of metal tearing rang out.
One by one, the fully armed electromagnetic infantry, along with their pride-and-joy super-alloy armor, were forcefully torn in half by the Titan Violent Demons.
Scarlet blood and black machine oil gushed out simultaneously, staining the ground of the steel base red.
The Titan Violent Demons bathed in blood, casually throwing away the broken corpses, and opening their mouths filled with fangs.
Some even directly chewed on the scattered metal parts.
The front line lasted less than ten seconds before declaring a total collapse.
The girl gritted her teeth, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.
"Switch to the rear! Rotate the three high-energy laser turrets on the base's commanding heights! Target, the enemy's front-row behemoths, destructive concentrated fire!"
At the top of the base, a dozen laser turrets with astonishing calibers emitted a low roar.
The muzzles began to gather blinding red light, locking onto the Titan Violent Demons rampaging below.
Just at the life-and-death moment when the laser turrets' red light shone and were about to fire.
In the shadows behind the turrets, the space suddenly rippled in an extremely bizarre way.
Just like a drop of ink falling into clear water.
Hundreds of Tyrant Demons following the "Shadow Lurker" path emerged from the shadows.
Their matte black skin, which could absorb all light, perfectly avoided the base's thermal imaging detection and life radar scanning.
Without making a single sound.
The Shadow Abyssal Demons' arms quickly elongated and solidified, turning into two incredibly sharp, long, narrow liquid metal blades.
Swish!
Black blade lights intertwined above the turrets.
The operators hadn't even noticed the chill behind them before their throats were easily slit by the sharp blades.
At the same time, the Shadow Abyssal Demons swung their blades, cutting off the thick charging circuits beneath the laser turrets.
"Beep—Beep—Warning! Energy overload!"
Alarm sounds rang out inside the base.
The high-energy laser turrets, with out-of-control charging, could not release pressure and exploded violently on the base's commanding heights.
"Rumble!"
A dozen dazzling fireballs soared into the sky, and the terrifying energy storm blasted the surrounding artillery positions into a sea of fire.
At this point, the technological side's pride-and-joy rear firepower net was instantly paralyzed.
"No! This is impossible!"
Watching the green dots disappearing in swathes on the screen, the girl collapsed onto the command chair in disbelief.
Ahead were the indestructible heavy flesh-and-blood war chariots, and behind were the elusive, deadly assassins.
This unreasonable dual-line unit coordination crushed the steel castle she had poured countless efforts into.
But she was not reconciled.
"Activate the final trump card! Heavy battle-damaged mechs, kill them all for me!" She slammed her fist onto the console.
The gate deep in the base rose with a bang.
Three fifteen-meter-tall Gold-tier "Heavy Battle-Damaged Mechs" charged towards the center of the battlefield.
These mechs were crafted entirely from the highest-strength memory alloy.
Holding ten-meter-long high-frequency oscillation giant blades, every step they took left deep footprints on the steel ground.
The Gold-tier pressure swept across the field, forcing the rampaging Titan Violent Demons to stop their movements.
Lin Yuan floated in mid-air, watching the three steel behemoths rushing out below.
He still had no unnecessary movements.
He just shifted his gaze slightly, his consciousness locking onto the Tyrant standing quietly at the back of the phalanx, doing nothing.
"Take care of them." Lin Yuan issued a brief order.
Receiving the divine oracle.
The ten-meter-tall Tyrant slowly raised its head.
On its matte black heavy armor, which fused the dual characteristics of "Titan" and "Shadow Lurker", a hint of cold killing intent emerged.
The next second.
The Tyrant's body actually distorted on the spot, merging into a mass of shadows.
"Target lost? Radar lock failed! How is this possible, it has such a massive volume!" The girl exclaimed in the command tower.
The pilots of the Gold mechs also fell into a brief state of confusion, constantly scanning their surroundings.
Just then, directly above one of the Gold mechs.
The shadow in the void was suddenly lifted like a curtain.
The Tyrant's body, as massive as a hill, broke out of the shadow!
It carried the strength bestowed by the Titan path, as well as the terrifying gravitational acceleration of a high-altitude fall.
Like a black meteorite, it stomped down heavily from above with both feet.
"Bang—Boom!"
The Gold mech, which claimed to be able to withstand a direct missile bombardment.
Its head, crafted from super-alloy, and the cockpit below, under the Tyrant's stomping feet.
Were like a soda can hit by a sledgehammer, instantly shriveled and shattered!
The pilot didn't even have time to scream before turning into a puddle of flesh.
Seeing this, the pilots of the other two Gold mechs had their eyes splitting with rage, roaring as they swung the high-frequency oscillation giant blades in their hands, slashing fiercely at the Tyrant from both sides.
The Tyrant did not dodge.
It turned slightly, raised its metal arm, and actually met the slashing oscillation giant blades with its bare hands.
"Clang!"
The piercing sound of metal clashing penetrated the sky.
The high-frequency oscillation blades, capable of cutting through mountains, slashed onto the Tyrant's arm, leaving only a shallow white mark.
The next second, the muscles on the Tyrant's arms bulged, and the dark black liquid metal surged wildly.
"Snap!"
The two high-frequency oscillation giant blades were forcefully smashed into two pieces from the middle by the Tyrant!
Under the desperate gaze of the pilots, the Tyrant extended its hands, one left and one right, tightly gripping the heavy chest armor of the two Gold mechs.
"Roar—!"
The Tyrant let out an earth-shattering roar, pulling its arms outwards.
Amidst the sound of metal tearing, a large hole was forcefully ripped open in the chest armor of the two Gold mechs.
The Tyrant's hands took the opportunity to reach into the mechs, pulling out two power cores that were still running and sparking with blinding electric sparks.
Subsequently, it used force with one hand.
"Bang!"
The two Gold-tier power cores were directly crushed.
The mechs, having lost power, collapsed with a bang like two piles of scrap metal.
On the entire battlefield, only the Tyrant stood atop the wreckage of the mechs.
Letting the firelight from the exploding power cores illuminate its body, which resembled a demon god.
The battle ended.
The system determined the time taken was only fifty-five seconds.
A synthesized mechanical voice resounded over the sandbox:
"Thirty-one consecutive wins! Your ranking has soared to the 890th place on the provincial rising star rankings!"
In the command tower opposite, the girl's figure was gradually fading along with the sandbox's settlement.
Before disappearing completely.
She stared fixedly at the black-haired teenager in mid-air, her eyes filled with unconcealable fear and exasperation.
"This person... I really don't know what kind of monster he is!"
A flash of white light, and she was forcibly kicked out of the deduction sandbox.
Leaving only a pile of scrap metal, telling of Lin Yuan's suffocating dominance.
