Chapter 489: Chapter 133 Awareness

"Why didn’t you get cursed?" the head of Suzuki Swift screamed sharply.

This scene wasn’t particularly horrifying. In modern modifications, there is generally an independent backup power supply in the brain. Even if the head is severed from the body, that electrical energy can maintain the activity of the brain cells for a period of time.

Xiang Shan did not answer, but simply picked up the head, placing it in front of himself, "Look at me straight, you scum!"

With ease, he used the technique of witnessing to forcefully pry open Suzuki Swift’s cranium.

Xiang Shan skillfully extracted the storage device and the main chip, then he took out an extremely outdated piece of technology—just like the one the old Town Mayor had given her when he had just woken up. This type of chip had difficulty controlling a prosthetic body, let alone exerting Inner Strength.

Xiang Shan then picked up the head again, leaped onto the cliff in a few bounds, and used the same method to forcefully pry open Nyx’s computation center.

But this time, he did not read the data; instead, he took out an Iron Flower Bomb, opened it, and shook out a bit of metal powder.

He then pulled out a wire from within Nyx, snapped it off, and used the electrical sparks to ignite it.

Iron Dust can be used as a metal heat agent when necessary.

The high temperatures of a thousand degrees in a short period can destroy all intelligence.

This was, however, to ensure that the previous scene would not be noticed by anyone.

The technology developed by the Eighth Martial God, "to let a Personality Mask control Inner Strength," had far-reaching implications and was too simple to implement.

If it fell into the hands of anti-human elements or ambitious individuals, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Before establishing a stable and comprehensive order, Xiang Shan was not planning to disclose related intelligence.

He intended to avoid exposing even the intelligence as much as possible.

In the old days, some large companies would not patent their core technology because the first step to filing a patent was to disclose the details of the technology.

And sometimes, just giving someone an inspiration, an idea, they could circumvent the patent and develop a "parallel technology" that is completely different in detail but very close in the final outcome.

No technology is "only so-and-so can develop it."

For most people in the scientific community, especially those working in the industrial world, "irreplaceability" is not very strong.

There are truly many intelligent people in this world.

Of course, this here is not to say that Xiang Shan agrees with monopoly practices like "patenting" knowledge. He is simply referencing the "secrecy" approach of these companies for critical issues that must remain confidential.

Xiang Shan took care of the remaining lackeys.

This was not because he had gone mad and decided to kill the lackeys before the mastermind.

He was actually just exploring a "standard" for dealing with the Green Forest bandits.

Including Heavenly Ingenious Star Suzuki Swift, some of the Great Heroes of the Green Forest who appeared here were forced to join. Their life and death required further consideration.

However, according to the information he retrieved from the memories of Earthly Assembly Star, when those Great Heroes came here from the Bering Strait, they came alone.

The lackeys with low Martial Arts skills had all joined the Green Forest voluntarily in these past days.

Some came from urban gangs, while most were recruited in the wilderness.

There were also some Martial Artists from Martial Arts Schools who were absorbed and concentrated on Heavenly Machine Star’s side, they did not come over.

Gangs are the precursor to the Green Forest and have their ways of courting death.

As for the wilderness residents... Hah, can you say a resident of a settlement in the wilderness, who makes a living there and relies on the government’s reputation to avoid Green Forest slaughter, doesn’t know what sort of thing the Green Forest is, and was deceived into entering this industry?

Would anyone believe that if you said it?

Xiang Shan’s actions, however, were witnessed by another person hundreds of meters away.

Sky Prison Star watched that side and said in a low voice, "It looks like it’s all over now. That crazy woman, Heavenly Ingenious, was taken out so easily... and Champion Earth too..."

By his side, Sky Wisdom Star nodded, "I find it a bit terrifying."

The gaze of Sky Prison Star’s prosthetic eye was powerful, and though Sky Wisdom Star lacked such vision, he could share the sights that Sky Prison Star saw.

Sky Prison Star ranked thirty-second among the Heavenly Gang, while Sky Wisdom Star held the thirty-third position.

Within the Heavenly Gang, those who ranked lower than them, Heaven Weeping Star and Sky Fury Star, had been terminated by the Black Hand Master a few days earlier.

And now, the thirty-sixth ranked member of the Heavenly Gang had been easily defeated by that terrifying Hero.

They were now the ones with the lowest ranking still alive within the Heavenly Gang.

Between the thirty-second and thirty-third positions, and the thirty-sixth, there was no substantive disparity.

They were indeed somewhat stronger than Suzuki Swift, but only at a level where the odds were split sixty-forty.

With carelessness, they might even be defeated by Suzuki Swift.

They, too, were part of the Green Forest team that had come to surround and kill Black Hand Bright Flame.

Just a moment ago, Suzuki Swift had clashed with Xiang Shan, causing a piece of the cliff to collapse. It was a massive disturbance.

Hearing the commotion, they naturally came to take a look.

But they had not expected to witness such a terrifying scene.

"So this guy finally pulled out a part of Nyx’s computational core? He must have used some kind of inner strength technique on Nyx, one that needs to remain a mystery. It’s probably some unique and uncommon curse," Sky Prison Star analyzed. "And his external strength is far superior to Suzuki Swift’s."

Suzuki Swift and Nyx each had their specialties. Suzuki Swift was adept at external strength, while Nyx excelled in the internal.

If a Martial Artist killed Nyx using external strength and then subdued Suzuki Swift with inner strength, they wouldn’t be surprised.

But this monster clearly overpowered Champion Earth Star "Wine God Spirit" with inner strength, then humiliated Heavenly Ingenious Star "Mosquitos and Midges" with external strength.

"What do you think?" Sky Wisdom Star said, "I should be able to fight for a few moves..."

His tone was filled with an uncontrollable urge for violence.

As if he might charge out at any moment and fight to the death with that Hero.

"It’s not wise. You’re very fast, and if something happens, you’ll have to report back to Heavenly Machine and the others," said Sky Prison Star.

Sky Prison Star shook his head. "We have to go."

He withdrew his gaze and stopped spying over there.

Though the distance was great, rashly looking over there still risked being witnessed.

The inner strength cultivation of that Hero was just too terrifying.

Sky Wisdom Star nodded his head.

But as Sky Prison Star started to move, he realized something was wrong.

-- Oh no.

From all around, a faint buzzing sound merged into a constant hum.

In the old times, such a noise might have been more easily associated with bees or insects.

But in the New Continent, insects had been extinct for a long time.

Perhaps in some corners of this continent, plants still stubbornly grew, and small bugs continued to breed generation after generation. But their numbers were very few.

Now, this sound only signified one thing—microdrones.

"We’re surrounded?" Sky Wisdom Star was astonished.

"Tell Earth Beast Star and the others to keep their distance," Sky Prison Star said. "Get ready for a desperate fight... prepare yourselves for the possibility of death!"
