Chapter 594: 213. Your machinery flows endlessly, my players are immortal.

Whoosh!

The ring appeared to rotate slowly, but in reality, it arrived in an instant. Any close-range defensive ammunition that tried to intercept it merely caused a brief tremor, as if it wasn’t a material object of this world but a mere phantom.

The artificial intelligence of the autonomous soldiers immediately connected to the network and began rapid calculations:

"Unable to detect energy response, but possesses attack characteristics—Command: Scatter outwards."

The autonomous soldiers quickly and methodically began to scatter, ensuring no citizen was touched by the ring.

The ring floated down towards the vacant ground left by the autonomous soldiers. In the next moment, the space in the middle vanished out of thin air, and all the autonomous soldiers were instantly compressed and collided together.

[Arcane Energy Built-in·Gravity: Gravitational Wall]

Dragon Ground City pressed down with both hands, and the autonomous soldiers, forcibly collided together due to the erased space, were instantly crushed to the ground, bursting into flames. Under the continuous pressure of gravity, they were ground into the steel earth, visually flattened into a two-dimensional form.

[You have killed ’Autonomous Mech-Soldier’ Lv.85, cross-level kill—special item damage accounting for over 99%, partial experience deducted...]

[You have killed ’Mechanical World Engineer’ Lv.89, cross-level kill—special item damage accounting for over 99%, partial experience deducted...]

[You have killed ’Orderly Mech-Soldier’ Lv.80, cross-level kill—special item damage accounting for over 99%, partial experience deducted...]

............

Experience kept pouring in, making Dragon Ground City gulp.

In reality, he hadn’t done anything. He had just foolishly aimed the arcane energy crosshair at the target and then used his neural signals to fire.

This was what no-brain operation meant. The entire process was coordinated internally by the implant gear; he only needed to give a tiny electrical signal based on instinct, and that was enough.

[Cross-level Kill Reward: Your template has advanced to—Advanced Descender]

[Cross-level Kill Reward: Your template has advanced to—Elite Descender]

[You have achieved the achievement: "Unrivaled Slasher"...]

An influx of information and numerous rewards came pouring in, overwhelming him to the point that he had to turn off the notification alerts.

Looking at the burning remains of the mech soldiers, Dragon Ground City felt profoundly shocked.

Just a day ago, they had been fighting to the death with goblins for ecological niches, engaging in bloody battles in the underground lair.

And within a few hours of this main quest, they had begun to dominate enemies normally of Gamma Rank, and even Delta Rank.

This kind of power... back on Azure Star, they would be unstoppable!

"Wow, President, this is just too awesome! Not even a newbie smurf farming low-level enemies could be this powerful!" Ciox floated up using gravity, casually firing a shot that obliterated the plasma cannon position set up on the mountain peak in the distance.

"Indeed, this is incredibly powerful! I even feel that just the few of us alone, armed with our implant gear, could easily topple the Four Nations back on Azure Star."

Dragon Ground City lifted his implant-geared hand, gazing at the red-black crystal on it, and clenched his fist:

"This is the confidence Li Aozi has given me!"

The players stepped into the battlefield one after another, manipulating their growth-armored vanguard to fire recklessly at these creatures, sweeping away the hardships they faced during previous ground-clearing missions.

Citizens of the Mechanical World were strong, their organized armies constantly outputting firepower. Even if you annihilated them several times, they would continue to coldly trample forward.

But the growth-armored vanguard that Li Aozi gave them were even stronger!

Their average strength reached the peak of Delta Rank. Even if the Citizens of the Mechanical World outnumbered them by tens of thousands, with endless firepower covering the field, they could still engage in guerrilla warfare, annihilate, and advance.

The feeling was simply indescribable.

Among these growth-armored vanguards was Li Aozi’s gene sequence, their arcane energy casting assisted by auxiliary mechanisms, eliminating the need for pre-casting. Even players who had never been in contact with arcane energy could easily slaughter mech soldiers once they donned the implant gear.

Recently, they had struggled immensely, overcoming various hardships to conquer the goblin’s underground lair. But now, with just a word from Li Aozi, he bestowed upon them such powerful growth-armored vanguards.

The players understood that these vanguards were actually hastily assembled.

If Li Aozi felt even better and prepared some meticulously crafted implant gear specifically for them...

The players were excited.

Even knowing these were likely plot devices, the feeling of effortless mowing down enemies was irresistibly thrilling.

"My faithful wife Li Aozi! You’re forever a god in my heart!"

"Get lost, he’s my wife!"

"Stop fighting; Li Aozi belongs to everyone! This is simply exclusive welfare for the Fiery Summer District server!"

"Speaking of which, do you guys remember that post from a while back, criticizing Li Aozi?"

"You mean that one, ’Scammer Li Aozi! The Darkest Day in Gaming History!’? Oh yeah, I remember—that guy actually accused Li Aozi of ’using looks to deceive players into spending money.’"

"That’s hilarious! Look at this bio-plasma cannon, this power, this level—does any other server get this treatment?"

The players chatted and laughed heartily while driving their implant gears, controlling arcane energy, maneuvering across the battlefield with agility akin to fierce leopards. They darted through the torrents of enemies, evading and attacking, delightfully killing foes.

This feeling was unprecedented!

In the players’ eyes, "Starry Abyss" was a game focused on realistic role-playing and immersion. This kind of scene, where a lead team dominates with overpowered gear, filling the screen with visually stunning effects, was completely different from their previous impressions!

Gravitational pressure on machinery, Canyue dance teasing the bullets, powerful bloodline collisions.

The sheer joy of mindlessly firing brought healthy smiles to these players, who had been burning the midnight oil gaming and working overtime.

All previous grievances, frustrations during the gameplay, and the difficulties of constructing bases.

At this moment, all of it was completely swept away!

Thanks to Little Piggy for bringing in a group of professional players; the growth-armored vanguards, in the hands of these quick-reacting, sharp-minded, highly cooperative professionals, unleashed their true destructive power.

This not only liberated Li Aozi from the need for micromanagement but also showcased the players’ initiative and combat prowess, which were genuinely strong.

Mechanics might be fearless of death, but they could not feel excitement and joy in slaughter and destruction.

Players could.

They not only smiled while killing but also competed to see who could kill more.

This maneuver of mimicking Canyue with the growth-armored vanguards was an unexpected pleasure; the results were remarkable. In such a short time, the players had already taken down two factories.

However...

Li Aozi looked at the boundless landscape, covered with iron-built mountains and valleys, the endless factories continuously producing new cannon fodder.

The sheer number was too outrageous, the accumulated damage could overwhelm even Delaware-grade implant gear. If it weren’t for the players’ ability to revive, this battle would be unwinnable.

They needed at least 72 hours to completely annihilate the Mechanicus Council and prevent the body of Mashigang from descending.

The players were still too few.

"If you continue to destroy, Little Piggy—Descenders, you will undoubtedly attract the attention of Watt Torque."

Li Aozi decided his strategy, setting up tactics, waiting for the bait to be taken.

He wasn’t afraid Watt Torque wouldn’t show up. If he didn’t, Li Aozi would either level the mountain himself or let the players continue their relentless destruction, pushing all the way to the Mechanicus Council’s gate.

And as soon as Watt Torque showed up, Li Aozi had already taken out two senators. If he defeated Watt Torque as well, the council would collapse without a fight.

This was an open strategy.

If Watt Torque tried to take out the players, Li Aozi would intervene to block.

If he targeted Li Aozi, the players would continue pushing forward.

No matter what, Watt Torque had to face Li Aozi, and as long as he couldn’t instantly annihilate himself, the outcome was clear.

Li Aozi might not be able to defeat or completely eliminate Senator Watt Torque, but as long as he achieved his goal, all else could be disregarded.

If only one more Zeta Rank could join...

"Senior Canyue, although you died unfairly, your experience is truly invaluable!"
