Chapter 498: Chapter 142 Sky Fierce and Heaven Hero Awarded Command

Compared to flesh, machines possess greater power output and more robust endurance in the vast majority of circumstances. However, this doesn’t mean that machines have unlimited resistance.

Just as a biological organism is more resistant to radiation than a computer, the more delicate the machine, the more vulnerable it is. Their smooth operation requires high-quality materials and components.

Continuous high-intensity activity can cause a significant decline in the performance of a prosthetic body.

Cyber Martial Artists can indeed engage in combat continuously at low intensity.

But in high-intensity combat, they will need to rest after not too long.

The Hero who appeared before the Green Forest members had destroyed several Green Forest teams within an hour and killed more than ten Green Forest members proficient in Fiend Earth techniques.

Sky Fierce thought he could barely achieve the same feat.

The opponent was also a Martial Artist who had not transcended the First Layer Heavenly Land. Even if his prosthetic body contained a reactor and his Inner Strength was slightly stronger than Heavenly Machine’s, he hadn’t taken a single step forward.

"Transcending the First Layer Heavenly Land" is an all-encompassing elevation.

No matter how formidable the person in front is, there are limits.

Rather, the "potential existence of a reactor" gave Sky Fierce an even stronger motive.

"This guy hasn’t completed his metamorphosis... His internal and external skills have already reached this step. In that sense, he truly is stronger than any of us!" Sky Fierce said with fervor. "But he’s been in continuous combat for an hour! Those teams existed an hour ago, which means he wiped them out within that time. The teams were scattered throughout the Coast Mountains, and just the searching and traveling alone would have taken a substantial amount of time. He had virtually no time for cooling down, let alone the accumulated stress on his mechanical parts."

"Based on Heavenly Machine’s description, this guy is stronger in internal skills than external. We haven’t heard of him before, so he likely doesn’t have a Gu implant. Heavenly Machine’s patches also block many curses. As long as we refuse all external signals and hold firm our firewalls, we can withstand him. Among us, so many experts can definitely take him down."

"Whether we recruit him into our fort or take the reactor for ourselves, it’s extremely worthwhile!"

Heaven Hero nodded, "I think it’s doable. I can’t rest easy unless I avenge our fallen brothers!"

Sky Fierce glanced at Heavenly Machine.

Heavenly Machine shook his head, "I disagree. Even if we fight, I won’t be of much help. His Inner Strength is much higher than mine."

Limited by various confidentiality agreements, Heavenly Machine could only use vague adjectives like "much higher" rather than referencing something that surpasses the knowledge expected from "Heavenly Machine Star of Earth’s Green Forest." So even if he tried hard to explain, the Green Forest members would only think, "Oh, that’s an incredible master of Inner Strength, such a person actually exists in the Jianghu of Earth."

With King Aqini present, Earth is not a good place for cultivating Inner Strength.

In this sense, the Great Heroes of the Green Forest deeply believed in King Aqini.

Sky Fierce said, "Fine. You don’t have to fight. Indeed, you are an Internal Martial Artist. You can retreat a kilometer. But Heavenly Machine, you’re still not Green Forest enough."

"My brain holds more Green Forest memories than all of you combined!" Heavenly Machine said coldly.

Sky Fierce responded, "Memories? What do they count for? The length of memories? That proves nothing! We have broken free from the spiritual shackles left by the Old Era; we’ve filled the emptiness within our hearts created by the government. We live for the thrill, satisfying primal urges—to plunder when we desire, to hunt when we want to survive, to flee when we wish to escape."

As Sky Fierce spoke, he stepped on a box on the ground, grabbing the two short guns with full magazines that flew up into the air.

"If you really want to run, just say the word, idiot!" Sky Fierce said aloud, then shouted, "Men, let me say it again, for vengeance for our brothers, for the reactor, we’re going to finish off that Hero!"

Heaven Hero chimed in, "My bullets will cover you!"

Watching Sky Fierce running through the mountains, Heavenly Machine hesitated for a moment. A pain, sharp like knife cuts, swept through his brain. He found himself involuntarily agreeing with Sky Fierce’s theory.

The precursor to "Ultimate Way Consensus Therapy" was a technology that embodied the hope of the "Era of Healing." The creators of the technology aspired to establish a new order to replace the modern society that contravened human hunting instincts. The Green Forest members were happy.

As a double agent, had he ever really enjoyed this pleasure... had he...?

The Heavenly Machine brain implant detected abnormal brain activity. Therefore, the pre-set "trigger" was activated, and a bundle of electric signals directly stimulated the brain’s "escape" judgment.

Heavenly Machine no longer hesitated and turned to leave.

Xiang Shan then saw that Green Forest charging towards him like a blind beast.

——That silhouette...

It coincided with the dark shadow ingrained in the memories of Borshu and Suzuki Swift. The reason why Sky Fierce Star was so devoted to the construction of the stronghold was also due to his fighting style and characteristics already being well established. His prosthetic body hadn’t undergone any substantial changes for over a decade, with only minor tweaks to certain details.

Xiang Shan even knew some of the parameters of this body.

——The angle of the Prosthetic Eye... wait a second, not looking directly at me. Did I startle the snake by hitting the grass earlier?

Such a thought flashed through Xiang Shan’s mind.

Just then, dozens of cylinders flew in from the distance. They were moving too slowly to hit a Cyber Martial Artist.

This definitely wasn’t a bomb. It was...

The cylinders burst open at low altitude, and Iron Dust covered the area.

Sky Fierce wasn’t a fool either. Naturally, the best way to block Inner Strength attacks was with Iron Dust.

Once Iron Dust descended, aside from voice-activated backdoors, all internal techniques would temporarily become ineffective!

And of course, Sky Fierce had miniature ultrasonic radar on him!

But just as Sky Fierce activated the radar, he felt a massive hammer flying towards him.

——Impossible, where did this guy produce...

Sky Fierce dodged and then heard dense footsteps to his left.

The next moment, he felt something strike his chest. From the force of the impact, he actually analyzed the mass of the object.

It was a Tuning Fork.

Footsteps came at him from behind again. Sky Fierce turned abruptly, unleashing a move from the Firearms Path.

But a strike solidly hit him right on the neck.

Xiang Shan, who had positioned himself without notice, swung a hand chop in an ordinary fashion.

Sky Fierce’s neck suddenly broke. Realizing he was at a disadvantage, he switched control methods in disbelief and with the posture of mutual destruction, crashed into Xiang Shan.

This time the cover of Iron Dust was not wide, and he and Xiang Shan fell outside the range of the Iron Dust.

At the same time, he transmitted a wireless signal, "Heaven Hero, open fire!"

Then, he was promptly toppled over by Xiang Shan. Xiang Shan seized his gun, firing randomly in all directions.

In the distance, Heaven Hero Star had already collapsed on the ground, convulsing all over.
