Chapter 332: 137. Li - Ao - Zi - ! _2

Li Aozi shrugged.

Whoosh—

A laser beam grazed past Li Aozi’s shoulder, being directly deflected and bent by the gravitational field, snaking past his side as he quickly turned around:

He saw the mobile armor on the ground had switched to air combat mode, chasing after him. Three mobile armors, in a triangular formation, continuously burst-fired their laser rifles, predicting Li Aozi’s movements through an AI, forcing him to lower his altitude.

This battle was definitely unwinnable; three of the most advanced mobile armours, with an ace crew simultaneously striking, combined with the aerial command center’s guided strikes, were enough to annihilate the military force of a smaller country.

"The goal of this mission has already been achieved, there’s no need to continue fighting."

Li Aozi glanced at the kill data; the most severe threat had been eliminated. The Sky Ring Warriors hadn’t had time to form a tactical formation before he had taken out two-thirds of them, plus destroyed two mobile armors, already a significant victory, enough to buy time for Du Zexin to finish assembly and take them to the skies.

If he didn’t leave today, once Sky Ring recovered, they would start using national resources for continuous blockades, embargos, and sanctions against him. Li Aozi wasn’t capable of confronting an enraged superpower, especially the war-prone Sky Ring.

The Pioneer’s body was also almost fully adapted, using it felt utterly smooth, his consciousness didn’t have a trace of rejection, and he could still feel his No.1 Prosthesis placed in the biological pool, soaked in drugs and culture fluid, his body filled with electrodes monitoring his physiological status.

The three mobile armors pursued relentlessly. Although their speed was slow, the laser weapons directed by the command post exposed Li Aozi’s route, forcing him to stay near the ground, and once he landed, the ground fire concentrated on him.

—This was not a solution.

Thus, Li Aozi decisively turned around, diving back towards the ground forces—but this time, the People of Sky Ring had already assembled the army, greeting him with a series of three slashing attacks powered by their collective Qi Energy resonance.

"Vacuum!"

The sudden vacuum that formed sucked out the air, fortunately, Li Aozi’s flight depended on gravity, unaffected.

"Vermilion Bird!"

Immediately following was a wave of flame attack, covering a broad area, engulfing Li Aozi, but the coverage of the "Mountain Armor" plus the Pioneer’s depleted uranium armor allowed Li Aozi to withstand this round without a scratch.

"Purple Lightning!"

But the third round of attack, which brought a high-voltage electric arc in the hot environment, stretched out thousands of kilometers instantly, hitting Li Aozi directly.

—But the damage was minimal.

"Severing Life" and "Death Link" operated simultaneously, the enhanced "Intelligence" from the prosthesis providing Li Aozi with powerful complex logic processing capabilities, the increase in "Dexterity" more apparent as his fingers swiftly intertwined in the air, tagging each individual with "Severing Life" which prohibited recovery, and with a flick of his pinky, he linked their lives together.

Under the "Eye of Truth," Li Aozi swiftly hooked, tagging 204 targets with himself before the three waves of attacks arrived.

Whiz-zap!

This lightning strike directly took out three-quarters of Li Aozi’s ample health points, but as soon as he activated the "Blood of Eternity," his health points swiftly refilled.

At the same time, Li Aozi looked at the damage output and immediately chuckled.

"Purple Lightning carries forty percent of maximum health points as magical damage—oh boy, how much health does this prosthesis have?"

Li Aozi looked at his health points:

Prosthesis base 640+1,500, plus Li Aozi’s 2,000 mimic health bar and 88 real health points.

Total: 4428 health points. That’s equivalent to a Gamma Rank Martial Artist.

Forty percent of that is 1772.1 magic damage.

This is the blow the Sky Ring Soldiers on the ground are about to endure through the damage link!

While they only suffered the lightning strike’s damage, they didn’t have Li Aozi’s vast health, especially since he had tagged them with no recovery.

And when an individual with weak constitution is killed by transferred damage, that’s just the beginning of bad news for the entire team.

One death—death’s ’effect’ shifts to others linked, triggering a forced check.

And since "Death Link" is powered by Arcane Energy, the attribute it bases its check on is... "Charm".

Given the context in Sky Ring where Arcane Energy is looked down upon and Spellcasters are despised, it’s likely that most soldiers won’t pass this check in terms of "Charm" attribute.

Buzz!

Batch after batch of soldiers, transferred by the damage from the lightning strike, died of sudden heart attacks on the spot, and when one person died, his death effect moved to another, with Li Aozi continuously linking them until the three mobile armors caught up from behind, forcing him to cease his actions.

The soldiers of Sky Ring Army fell into chaos instantly; they died inexplicably in droves without facing any attack, even though they were actively counterattacking, it turned out to be a self-inflicted death.

The Sky Ring Soldiers do not fear death, but this kind of ’killing oneself’ behavior was too mysterious and abstract, especially since Li Aozi’s entire casting process took place in a supersonic battle environment, making it impossible for anyone to analyze and identify.

For a moment, the usually resolute-willed soldiers of Sky Ring actually started to riot.

They hesitated, taking cover or fleeing in disarray, no longer obeying orders, as Kariya Asaichi’s face turned grim:

"The morale is shattered, this is tougher to deal with than facing a formidable enemy!"
