Chapter 150: 124. Giant God Overturns (Two-in-One)

Crackle—

The burst energy gun tore through Bayo Kong’s armored suit and flesh; deprived of Instant Move Arcane Energy, Bayo Kong’s body shuddered.

The electromagnetic properties of the Mechanic’s mana inflicted significant damage on the Biochemist’s flesh, and despite the difference in ranks, this fact remained.

"Stop interfering!"

Bayo Kong lifted his body, embraced his arms, and his body surged with a violent burst of Qi.

[Crane School: Energy Burst]

Fiercely burning Qi instantly enveloped his body, bursting out like a tsunami roaring from within, Du Zexin, holding his neck stiff, struggled to turn around and instantly made a series of sharp turns. As particles overflowed from the power furnace, his speed increased to an unprecedented five times the speed of sound.

"Arghhhhhhhh————"

With great difficulty, Du Zexin lifted his head; the severe overload caused him temporary blindness and bloody vision, managed only by the inhibitors he had injected to maintain stable blood pressure within.

"You little gnat—huh?"

As Bayo Kong was about to press his advantage, his gigantic body suddenly spasmed violently, and the divine light protecting him dimmed instantaneously.

"Ugh—Li Aozi!"

That guy had drained another 60 units of Arcane Energy, bringing the total in his body to at least 348 units.

"You fool, do you want to turn into a pile of genetic sludge?!"

The Professor growled as she activated dozens of units of Arcane Energy in rapid succession. The Ersha liquid under her feet surged rapidly and was absorbed by her body. Bayo Kong’s pupils took on a dark red and black hue.

Meanwhile, as the Arcane Energy rapidly drained away, Bayo Kong’s body began to disintegrate. Some humanoid egg-shaped structures opened, and emaciated Ersha Infected Individuals, akin to dried corpses, slid out. They did not fall directly from the sky but floated under the anti-gravity system, forming meteor-like obstacles.

"Damn—"

Seeing this, Du Zexin’s pupils narrowed, his space for maneuver increasingly constrained.

The principle of force is mutual; traveling at five times the speed of sound, even colliding with a coin would be enough to penetrate his armor.

Moreover, these were living human beings. A collision could destroy both his machine and kill those Ersha Infected Individuals.

With no room for scattered thoughts, Du Zexin clenched his teeth and forcibly maneuvered around the scattered Infected in space, continually reducing his speed to prevent the wind he generated from blowing them out of the anti-gravity field and causing them to fall to the ground.

When he cautiously avoided all these obstacles and slowed down, the red and black eyes of Bayo Kong suddenly appeared in front of him.

Bayo Kong’s pupils focused rapidly, and Du Zexin’s body convulsed, his skin developing dense bubbles.

[Air Embolism]

The human body cannot hold more than 10ml of air, and once exceeding 50ml, a common person’s veins would be blocked by the air embolism, leading to rapid death.

Pop!

As a Beta Rank, his body forcibly absorbed four hundred milliliters of air, enough to prevent his coronary and intracranial arteries from becoming blocked.

But Du Zexin’s situation was highly unusual—his veins already had a large amount of inhibitors, which made his blood very viscous. At that moment, under overload, the blood in his head was being squeezed to his lower body.

In this state, the blood pressure pushed the air injected by the Arcane Energy upward, and as a Mechanic, his blood, unlike that of a Martial Artist enriched with vitality, was utterly unable to absorb it.

"Nodley died because of her kindness, and you will too, little mechanic."

The Professor’s statement confirmed one thing: those Ersha Infected Individuals, floating away from Bayo Kong, were deliberately used by her as hostages to hinder Du Zexin’s dodges.

Now, Du Zexin was powerless to denounce such despicable and anti-human conduct; his body struggled to absorb the air, but it was too late to reverse his fate.

Ultimately, nearly 20ml of air surged into his skull, causing some veins to burst due to the uneven air pressure.

Blood seeped from Du Zexin’s eyes, his head drooped, and his form stalled in mid-air.

"Oh... oh no..."

The cerebral hemorrhage brought on by the burst veins resulted in the loss of control over one side of his body. His right eye went blind instantly, his tongue stiffened, and the vomit mixed with blood choked up in his throat almost suffocated him.

Perhaps... the Professor was right.

Was the human body too weak, utterly mismatched for machines?

—Could it be, the path of the Mechanic, was it indeed a mistake?

Du Zexin’s body floated in the anti-gravity field, and the surrounding visuals quickly dimmed, his senses chilling due to the cerebral hemorrhage.

Floating, cold, dark.

Just like space.

The towering Bio-Giant stood proudly, its ferocious claws piercing its body, trying to extract Li Aozi’s form; its massive shadow reflected in Du Zexin’s dimming eyes, terrifying like a demon.

Are there monsters like Bayo Kong in space?

Du Zexin’s body drifted endlessly, the Magnum Burst Energy Gun slipping from his grasp and receding.

So cold, so dark—just as cruel as the Outer World and this planet.

Humans could only go so far, never able to leave this land, just as his homeland, Frost Plated, was corrupted and rotted through, devoid of any hope.

"Come out, Li Aozi—"

Bayo Kong extended countless tendrils, piercing his own abdominal cavity, but no matter how it destroyed, it couldn’t reach the exact location of Li Aozi.
