358: Chapter 358: Toy With 358: Chapter 358: Toy With Inside the National Treasury, one Base Defender after another stormed in.

Su Mo clutched his chest, struggled to lift his head, and watched as a multitude of enemies rushed in, somehow resigned to his fate.

Just then, he suddenly discovered he could move his limbs again.

Looking at the passage in front of him, Su Mo’s lips curved into a slight smile, he had won.

He endured the severe pain and staggered to his feet.

At that moment, numerous Base Defenders surrounded him, their dark gun barrels aimed at him.

Su Mo exerted all his strength to sprint towards the center of the platform and leaped forward into it.

Whoosh~

Su Mo felt as though he was sliding down a slide, continuously sliding downward through the narrow passage.

Although he didn’t know where the passage ultimately led, at least his life was saved for now.

Su Mo’s mood was better than ever, he could imagine how furious the artificial intelligence, Engrossed, must have been.

Just then, a dim light appeared ahead.

Following that, Su Mo slid out and fell heavily to the ground, involuntarily letting out a pained groan, proving indeed that one shouldn’t be too complacent.

Su Mo took a few deep breaths, slightly recovered, stood up, and looked around, only to be stunned; it was an enclosed control room on a giant circular metal platform.

All around were entangled lines in disarray, and electronic noise kept reverberating and vibrating through the air.

In the central area, there was a giant circular control console covered in dust, with a cylindrical metal pillar erected at the center of the console.

The pillar was densely packed with complicated grooves, and in front of the cylinder, a giant spherical node, a blend of organic and mechanical components, floated mid-air, with thick cables connected to the metal pillar.

“Rat!”

A hoarse mechanical synthesized voice sounded.

Su Mo’s face darkened so much it couldn’t darken any further, he had fallen directly into the enemy’s lair.

No, he was literally in the face of the BOSS.

If Su Mo had a Mecha in his hands now, even a First Generation Mecha Green Shield would make him extremely happy.

The problem was that he had nothing in his hands now, only the Ink Frost.

“Artificial Intelligence, Engrossed!”

Su Mo replied coldly.

“Shut up, you filthy, lowly creature, also dare to call on God’s name.”

The artificial intelligence Engrossed let out an angry synthesized voice.

Su Mo didn’t plan on indulging the other party, he sneered and said, “Take a look at yourself now, neither human nor ghost, still calling yourself a god?

What’s the difference between you and a Monster?”

“Arrogant!

I embody the wisdom of all humanity, omnipotent and omniscient!”

The Artificial Intelligence Engrossed roared angrily.

Su Mo drew the Ink Frost in preparation for this guy possibly lashing out in a desperate attack.

However, the next second, something strange happened, the bloated body of the Artificial Intelligence Engrossed emitted red Thunder Light and started making different sounds, some of women, some of younger voices…

“So scared!

Don’t come over.”

“It’s so dark here….”

…

Su Mo’s thoughts began to stir, and he quickly realized.

This guy must have incorporated too many thoughts, leading to some confusion in itself.

This was also why he always felt that the enemy’s pursuit was somewhat sluggish.

A normal artificial intelligence with such powerful processing capabilities should easily seal off all their avenues of escape if it wanted to pursue them, not give them any chance to escape.

That being said, this guy wasn’t invincible.

Additionally, Su Mo also noticed something—either this guy was too crudely made initially or had been damaged later on.

The white tumors inside the Engrossed AI were exposed in many areas.

If he were to stab it twice with Ink Frost, the effect would probably be extraordinarily good.

With this thought, a decisive glint flickered across Su Mo’s eyes: to kill the opponent.

He could climb up the cables and stab that guy to death.

The main cable connections were the most exposed; no sooner said than done.

Su Mo rushed forward without a second word, his movement so swift it resembled a flickering afterimage, charging rapidly towards the Engrossed AI.

Bang~

However, just as Su Mo charged forward, an energy barrier suddenly rose, and there wasn’t enough time to react; he smashed right into it face-first.

His body stung all over as he staggered several steps backward, his heart also startled: what was happening?

Looking closely, it was apparent that an invisible energy shield had risen from the ground in front of the Engrossed AI, splitting the entire control center in two.

The disordered Engrossed AI emitted a harsh sound.

“Foolish ant, do you really think you can shake me?

This is my domain, where I am God!”

“You call yourself a god?

I’m your ancestor!

It’s just an energy shield, right?”

Su Mo swung Ink Frost heavily onto it.

Ding~

The enormous recoil made Su Mo’s hand holding the sword somewhat numb.

“Haha, that’s it!

A mere mortal dares challenge the dignity of a god?”

“Hmph, don’t get too happy too soon!”

Su Mo took a deep breath, his expression exceptionally grim, then raised his left hand towards the energy barrier and tried to force it open suddenly.

Nothing happened, leaving Su Mo with a baffled expression: impossible!

Following the logic in movies, after fusing with that prism-shaped crystal stone, he should have obtained some special abilities; why did it feel like nothing had occurred?

Could it be a wrong activation method?

So, Su Mo tried a few more times.

He held his breath and used all his strength, waving his hands back and forth.

“Ah!”

Unfortunately, it was still useless, and this was truly disappointing; he had not gained the slightest ability.

“Haha, foolish clown, is that all you have?

Now it’s my turn to show you what real divine power is!”

The surrounding walls unfolded, as numerous black gun barrels protruded.

“Dammit—this is what you call divine power?”

Su Mo was speechless; this was clearly an unfair fight.

Bang bang~

A hail of bullets came flying.

Su Mo’s face darkened as he dodged in the nick of time.

Ding dang!

Ding dang!

Su Mo ran and dodged swiftly, not daring to pause for even a second.

His nerves were stretched to the limit; any slow movement would lead to him being torn to shreds.

But the next second, a cannonball blasted towards him.

It landed right in front of Su Mo, and the explosive impact threw him back, crashing hard onto the ground.

There was no way around it; with the AI’s computational and locking capabilities, it wasn’t something a normal human could dodge.

At that moment, the dark gun barrels turned towards him.

Su Mo propped himself up from the ground and dodged in the extreme, just as the dense rain of bullets hit where he had just fallen.

“You’re good at dodging, ant, but in front of a god, you are profoundly foolish.

Let me show you what true despair feels like!”

The Engrossed AI emitted a pleased mechanical synthetic voice.

If someone were standing in front of the Engrossed AI, seeing the attack commands it displayed, they would notice that all its attacks left space for dodging.

And Su Mo, like a marionette, dodged desperately according to its predictions.
