Buzz—

Almost at that instant, Lynn’s outstretched arm suddenly clenched.

[Ding! Random Diagnostic Technique successfully used!]

[Ding! You have diagnosed a random disease in the target: cerebral parasite!]

[Ding! You have diagnosed a random disease in the target: cerebral thrombus!]

[Ding! You have diagnosed a random disease in the target: cerebral infarction!]

[Ding! You have diagnosed a random disease in the target: Alzheimer’s disease!]

[Ding! You have diagnosed a random disease in the target: schizophrenia!]

And at almost that same instant, the Heart-Devouring Demon—who had been glaringly locked in combat with Little One’s tentacles—was shaken throughout his entire body.

One wave after another of indescribable, abnormal sensations rolled through his brain and swept over every major sensor throughout his body.

His control over the mechanical body began to falter.

The imagery generated by his visual sensors in the brain started to blur and become unclear.

At that moment,

he actually felt severe cerebral hypoxia and vascular blockage, accompanied by intense vertigo and nausea, and wave after wave of cognitive errors that interfered with his mental judgment.

“This… this is…”

His consciousness was thrown into panic.

At the same time, shrill alarms began to blare continuously throughout his mechanical frame.

In almost an instant, the sensors connected to his brain analyzed all the anomalies appearing and transmitted them to his visual receptors.

When he saw the list of diseases displayed, his vision immediately went black and he almost collapsed outright.

“This can’t be!”

He howled in terror.

And due to the brain’s pathology, his mechanical body was instantly struck by Little One’s tentacle and hurled hundreds of meters away.

Cerebral infarction! He was manifesting symptoms of cerebral infarction!

There was also a cerebral thrombus!

And a series of malignant cerebral disease complications!

What kind of joke was this! What kind of joke is this!!

He was aghast.

And in the next moment, from Little One’s mouth far off—(〝▼皿▼)—Lynn’s voice came through.

“You’re not a true spirit. This mechanical shell is only a husk to protect your brain.”

“If you were using a real flesh-and-blood body, I might have no way to deal with you, but your mistake is that you used a mechanical armor in front of me!”

Lynn spoke through Little One, eyes closed, expression calm.

From the system feedback a moment ago,

Lynn had already understood the construction of this mechanical body.

Beneath the composite mechanical structure lay nothing more than a frail fleshy brain.

It was like you dug out your brain and put it into a machine—no matter how powerful your mechanical body, it didn’t change the fragile reality of your brain.

And his Random Diagnostic Technique

depended on his own mental strength and the target’s constitution.

The weaker the target’s constitution, the higher his chance of success;

the stronger the target, the lower the success rate.

If the Heart-Devouring Demon still had his previous full body, Lynn’s success rate would indeed have been low, but for this brain without a true body, the result was unsurprising.

Because before a true mechanical bearer for the will is realized,

the so-called mechanical body is nothing more than a deeper kind of...

weapon!

“Little One! The weak point is his head. It’s up to you now!”

Lynn rose with a sly smile.

In an instant,

Little One (〝▼皿▼) thundered over like a heavy-duty truck, its massive tentacles slamming the Heart-Devouring Demon’s mechanical head into the ground.

Boom—

The heavy impacts rattled.

And in the Heart-Devouring Demon’s ears and before his eyes, warnings from the mechanical body kept echoing.

“Warning... visual transmission damaged... auditory transmission damaged... neural source signal weakening... brain abnormal pathology... initiate emergency treatment immediately...”

“Warning... external cranial skeleton suffering severe impact... brain pathology worsening... incurable... pathology escalating...”

Cerebral infarction!

Cerebral thrombus!

Parasites!

Alzheimer’s!

The Heart-Devouring Demon could never have imagined that he would falter like this at such a moment!

Cursed!

That guy must have used some kind of curse to bypass his mechanical body and directly affect his brain.

He had never been sick before, and all of a sudden he was struck with so many illnesses!

“Transfer... initiate immediately... consciousness transfer... now...”

He painfully endured the increasingly severe brain pathology.

He knew!

He only had time to initiate a second transfer to survive!

Otherwise, this diseased brain would become the root of his destruction—if his consciousness dissipated within this brain, he would be completely dead.

“Quick! Quick!” he snarled, forcing his control.

“Locating... fourth brain lock acquired... emergency consciousness transfer in progress...”

“Warning... abnormal mental flux detected... current concentration 37%... please concentrate immediately... transfer cannot proceed otherwise... please concentrate immediately...”

Boom—

Outside, the terrifying tentacles continued to pound his mechanical skull.

With every strike, his mental concentration experienced massive fluctuations.

He roared with effort,

struggling grimly against the escalating brain lesions within.

But gradually, he began to sense something strange in his own mind...

That strangeness quickly manifested in his cognition—his mind intermittently froze, and he suddenly couldn’t remember what he was supposed to be doing.

And with the massive external blows to the skull, the phenomenon worsened. The most update n0vels are published on novel~fire~net

Suddenly...

his voice changed.

“Heh heh heh, one plus one, two plus two, three plus three, heave-ho, the two of us heave-ho~”

He broke into a silly little laugh;

his tone had become odd.

“Keep the music going, keep the dance going~~ heave-ho heave-ho~~ I’m a happy snot-worm~ I want to…”

Buzz—

His consciousness abruptly fell into a brief void.

No—!

What was he doing just now?!

The scene from that blurred moment immediately surfaced in his mind.

His whole body trembled;

realization hit him.

Terrifying characters gradually formed in his head.

Mental! Dis! Order! Schizophrenia!

A thread of fear finally appeared in his eyes.

No!

Not acceptable!

“Transfer! Transfer now!!”

He used almost his last strength to roar, his voice hysterical.

“I can’t die here! I am the President of the Demonkin Association, I still have to complete the Grand Resonance Project... I still have to... I still have to... scrub-scrub~~”

“Scrub-scrub~! Heh heh heh... keep the music going, keep the dance going~~~ heh heh~~”

He suddenly snapped back to clarity.

“No!!”

He finally screamed out in terror.

And almost at the same time, an external countdown for the base’s final explosion sounded.
