CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 97: I AM THE HUNTER, YOU ARE THE PREY (PART 2)
"How dare you!!"
A white line suddenly rose from the ground, appearing behind Gao Gong in an instant. The shadow of the Demon Mountain reappeared, and this time, all of its energy outlets were concentrated in its palms again, combined with the black light of the Bio-Fusion Armor. The two merged, forming a gray energy that surged forth as the hands grasped, covering everything.
The gray energy covered a domain of 100*100, directly severing Gao Gong’s connection with the Radiation Field.
Reproductive Technology: Assimilation Space
Within this space, various radiation energies quickly disappeared, or rather, were expelled.
’Domain skill?’
Gao Gong made no movements, yet thick red currents suddenly appeared out of thin air, each about arm’s breadth wide, covering an area of 3*3 meters around him. Each flash of the current would drain hundreds of the opponent’s blood volume.
For a moment, the blood volume of the Demon Mountain dropped rapidly.
’Biological Electric Emission’, a must-have skill for advanced lifeforms, known among players as the ’Super Saiyan Mode’, is also one of the few means capable of dealing True Damage because it directly affects the cellular level.
The Demon Mountain was entwined by blood-colored currents, its actions stiffening subconsciously.
And Gao Gong’s voice directly echoed in his mind.
’You don’t seem to understand one thing. Do you think cutting off my connection with the Radiation Field disconnects my Biological Energy?’
’If you had tried this earlier, it might have worked, but now—’
’I am the radiation!’
Gao Gong opened his arms wide, and the next moment, strands of white light seeped from his cells, merging into a whole, then a terrifying white light engulfed the surroundings.
It was as if the sunlight had cleansed the earth.
[You inflicted 4321 damage to the Demon Mountain]
Even a full-level powerhouse couldn’t have blood volume as monstrous as a radiation beast of the same level, and even with the ’Leader Template’, having over ten thousand would be impressive.
Especially after transformation, Gao Gong’s attacks were either Area Damage or True Damage; even master-level combat techniques were useless here.
"It’s over."
Watching the Demon Mountain fall from the sky once again, Gao Gong inverted the Demon Gun in his hand as if reversing the Stabilizing Needle, and before he hit the ground, Gao Gong appeared in front of him as if instantly teleported.
The drill-like tip pierced the opponent’s chest, impaling him in mid-air, and when he hit the ground, it was as if a bomb exploded, a blast tearing a twenty-meter diameter ’big bowl’ into the ground amidst a cloud of dust.
Within a Level 1 Mechanical Civilization, strong individuals taking the transformation route wouldn’t have Mechanical Energy exceeding 50,000 even at full level. It’s not determined by talent but by the limits of technology.
Of course, this is not counting the weapon systems, energy systems, and exoskeleton systems, but purely the degree of human body transformation.
If all this ’Mechanical Energy’ were included, about 500,000 Mechanical Energy could be achieved.
If compared with an A-level Radiation Beast, it would be about half the energy of the opponent.
But considering size, it becomes clear that the ’Human Mechanization Transformation’ route has been developed to its limit; it can’t be modified any further.
In terms of density in the same unit, a full-level human transformation even surpasses an A-level Radiation Beast.
The only way forward would be the large-scale, legion route, but that belongs to Level 2 Civilizations.
However, this has two drawbacks.
First, your True Blood Volume can’t be as high as the same-level monsters. Monsters have 100,000 blood volume, you’d be lucky to have 10,000.
Second, your mechanical armament can’t be manipulated as naturally as your limbs; the armor’s performance can only be utilized to its limit, not self-evolving.
Simply put, breaking the upper limit isn’t easy.
In contrast, the Carbon Stream + Mechanical Stream can easily break the upper limit.
For example, if you are a Biological Transformated Warrior fused with a high-level mechanical lifeform, like some ’Transformer’, Mechanical Energy can go beyond 100,000, even reaching millions.
Or, like Gao Gong temporarily ’fusing’ with a B-level Radiation Beast’s body, directly gaining A-level Radiation Field in advance.
By full-level at level 30, using Carbon Fusion to integrate mechanical lifeforms/carbon-based life beyond the civilization level, you can break the level cap.
This was information Gao Gong previously collected to avenge a certain woman in his past life.
But he crossed over before he got to use it significantly.
[You inflicted 4121 armor damage to the Fierce Tiger General, Demon Mountain]
Under the nearly ten-ton heavy Demon Gun, even a ’Devil Mountain Armored Tiger-Devouring Type V’ couldn’t withstand such pure physical attack; the upper body and lower body split apart, numerous pipelines and circuits were ripped.
"Shit, finally done!"
Gao Gong almost immediately grabbed a ten-meter-long black wing by the root, yanked it hard; the wing’s base was a mass of blood and neural lines. As he pulled, the flesh swelled like a tumor, burst open, and the blood vessels and pathways were torn.
[You removed the Seven-Colored Winged Dragon Tail (Energy Absorption), Biological Energy -50000, Mechanical Energy -60000, Biological Rejection -100, Mechanical Rejection -300]
Gao Gong repeated what he did before, but the remaining two ’Fallen Wings’ seemed to have their own biological consciousness; the muscle at the root started to connect more tightly, seemingly unwilling to leave.
However, if it didn’t leave, the rejection in Gao Gong’s body would send him away.
When all three wings were pulled out, countless black feathers also fell, Gao Gong’s body gradually shrunk, returning to about two meters, though the upper body had three fist-sized blood holes.
Sneaking a glance at the panel, he found both Biological Rejection and Mechanical Rejection had broken a thousand; he couldn’t help but wince.
Consider ordinary biological transformers, their Biological Rejection is less than 200, yet they suffer from biological weapon backlash, mutating uncontrollably.
Only Gao Gong, using biological transformations to counter mechanical rejection, and using mechanical transformations to intercept biological mutations, could create a buffer five times that of others.
As Gao Gong turned, exposing the back of his head, the eyes of the deceased Demon Mountain lit up, its mechanical mouth suddenly opened, and a mass of black fluid shot at Gao Gong, frantically implanting itself inside him. Within just two seconds, Gao Gong’s back was completely ’blackened’.
And just like a certain professor from the Magic Academy, the back of his head sprouted a ’no-nose monster’.
’Demon Mountain’ moved its mouth, twisting its features, making strange articulations.
"An extremely, extremely excellent flesh body, and now... it’s mine!"
Gao Gong seemed to be humming something.
"Listen to me... thank you... for you have warmed all four seasons."
[Your Seven-Colored Winged Dragon cell removed, Biological Rejection -50]
[Your Seven-Colored Winged Dragon cell removed, Mechanical Rejection -80]
[Your Iron-Backed Flying Dragon cell removed, Mechanical Rejection -80]
[Your Iron-Backed Flying Dragon cell removed, Biological Rejection -70]
[Your...]
Fusion is thrilling, but separation is a living hell.
Rather than large parts, the cells of advanced organisms are the most challenging to handle.
Fortunately, there are always benevolent souls willing to lend a helping hand selflessly.
"Is my flesh body satisfying you?"
’Demon Mountain’ silently screamed, the mass formed by reproduction technology cracking and trying to escape.
However, the cells of the Seven-Colored Winged Dragon and Iron-Backed Flying Dragon declared that while they couldn’t bully the host, they certainly could bully these invaders.
The cells of the advanced organisms surged like beasts that smelled blood, crazily pouncing.
Normally, it would be fine, as they are quite attached to their ’home’.
But since you’ve initiated a ’Bio-Fusion Invasion’, it indicates you’re not here to destroy the home but to join this family.
So what’s there to say? Let’s start the ’Body-Sharing Feast’, and everyone gets involved together.
Thanks to nature’s gift, as the final reproductive mass exploded, Gao Gong’s Mechanical Rejection and Biological Rejection both dropped below 300 points.
It wasn’t in vain that Gao Gong offered his manly charms, revealing his seductive back.
[Mission completed, Experience +14000, Regional Reputation +2000, Mechanical Puzzle Fragment *1, One Lottery Opportunity]
[You killed the Fierce Tiger General, Demon Mountain, Public Security Corps Reputation -2000, current status, Hostile]
[Your prowess is recognized by the Mechanical Hunter profession group, you earned the title ’Foremost Mechanical Hunter’, Regional Reputation +5000]
[You surpassed level 20, killed a higher-level humanoid boss, received +1 Specialization Points, randomly drew an enemy Mechanical Blueprint, received an additional Lottery Opportunity]
Gao Gong looked around, noticing that at some point a circle of comrades surrounded the large pit.
Their eyes were fervent, yes, like the gaze of a rich lady eyeing him.
One unknown person knelt on one knee first, followed by another, until eventually everyone knelt.
"Quite a bloodthirsty vibe, so eager to be my followers."
Gao Gong swayed a bit, then looked toward the system panel again.
[You forcibly implanted high-level biological limbs, Power permanently -1, Agility permanently -1, Perception permanently -2, Human Body System disorder, Human Modification temporarily sealed, please resolve promptly]
"Oh dear, showing off reduced my attributes."
Gao Gong wore a bitter expression.
