I'm itchy!
What on earth is this? Scratching my powered armor can actually deal over 800 points of damage. If this happened to me, I'd basically be saying "GG"...
Inside the powered armor, Li Lin's forehead oozed a thin layer of cold sweat.
At the same time, he noticed that his full-force attack, aside from sparking a few embers, did not cause the slightest damage to the powered armor. The Enhanced person immediately took a step back from Li Lin, creating some distance and adding a hint of caution to their gaze.
Seizing the opportunity during the attack, with the assistance of "Data Mind," all the information about this Enhanced person appeared in Li Lin's mind.
[Chem-tech Enhanced Person (Initial Experimental Subject): After consuming the first-generation "Shimmer" developed by Singed, the body undergoes temporary mutation, significantly enhancing strength, agility, and self-healing abilities for a period. The drawback is the loss of most rationality and irreversible aftereffects.]
[Ability Effects]
[Passive·Rage: Shimmer affects the nervous and muscular systems, temporarily granting the Enhanced person strength and agility far beyond normal, significantly reducing pain and rationality, lasting 15 minutes.]
[Passive·Meat Shield: Shimmer alters muscle density, providing the Enhanced person with an additional 50% health and reducing physical damage taken by 75%.]
[Passive·Rapid Healing: Shimmer enhances cell metabolism, allowing the Enhanced person to recover 25% of lost health per second and 15% of maximum health per second.]
[Passive·Addict: Shimmer is addictive, creating a physiological and mental dependency. If the consumption stops, strong withdrawal reactions occur.]
"Shimmer?" Seeing this term, Li Lin couldn't help but furrow his brows. "It's Singed's invention again. It seems he's working for Silco."
From the panel, the Chemtech enhanced person completely belonged to the numerical monster type. They could essentially crush an ordinary adult in a one-on-one confrontation.
Just the "Meat Shield" skill alone could provide the Enhanced person with a 75% reduction in physical damage. Combined with the rapid healing that restored lost and maximum health, along with the strength and agility provided by the "Rage" skill, it was a combination of durability and damage output.
If it weren't for Li Lin wearing powered armor, the group of people coming from their side might not even be a match for the current Enhanced person with a severed arm.
"What kind of monster is this..."
"Has Silco been researching this kind of thing for years?"
"Damn it, many brothers in our tavern were killed by this beast, right?"
"By the heavens, is this something we can confront..."
...
On the other side, the crowd that retreated to a distance had unpleasant expressions, discussing in hushed tones.
Caitlyn and Jayce also had gloomy faces, staring at this "monster" that was completely contrary to ethical norms.
Due to its speed being too fast, even Caitlyn, who could shoot a rabbit's eye from three hundred steps away in the wilderness with an unscoped musket, couldn't guarantee hitting this monster.
So, they could only place their hopes of defeating it entirely on Li Lin and silently pray for him in their hearts.
"Shimmer, why does it feel similar to Mundo's later version..."
Li Lin couldn't help but associate this purple elixir with the Zaun lunatic who was later sent to the asylum and tortured into madness.
But the present reality didn't give him much time for contemplation.
"Roar!"
The Enhanced person with one less arm, after a brief observation, let out a non-human-like roar.
Then, the Enhanced person retracted their right leg, the muscles filled with purple veins subtly tensing, and then explosively burst forth. Like a fully accelerated train, they rapidly charged towards Li Lin with thunderous speed.
With dozens of orange sparks appearing, in just two or three seconds, the Enhanced person had attacked the powered armor more than ten times.
[You have suffered an attack from the Alchemy Technology Enhanced person. Exoskeleton Powered Armor -43 health...]
[You have suffered an attack from the Alchemy Technology Enhanced person. Exoskeleton Powered Armor -51 health...]
[-34...]
[-29...]
[-47...]
...
With a series of reminders from the system in his mind, Li Lin almost burst into laughter within the powered armor.
Master AI, wouldn't you rather continue giving me a massage?
Looks like the guy had caused over 800 points of damage before, perhaps due to charging up the effect, or maybe he just happened to hit a relatively vulnerable part of the power armor.
After all, this exoskeleton power armor is only the prototype, and the fact that it can operate normally overall is already impressive.
With this in mind, Li Lin gradually restrained his smile and became more serious.
In case this monster hits a weak point again, and my power armor gets completely dismantled, that would be a disaster.
Li Lin manipulated the armor and pressed a button on his forearm. "Overload charge, initiate!"
Suddenly, through the extraction of mechanical devices, the energy core erupted with intense energy, covering the entire power mech in a layer of brilliant blue light.
After a brief three seconds, as the mechanical parts engaged and twisted, the entire power mech, due to the heat generated by energy consumption, turned into white steam upon contact with the cold air.
Although the enhanced humans experience a significant decrease in rationality after drinking Shimmer, it doesn't mean they completely lose their ability to think.
Realizing that something was wrong and driven by the instinct of fear, the enhanced human quickly retreated, trying to get out of the power armor's attack range.
However, with the additional speed boost from the "Overload Charge," Li Lin's power armor's speed was now very fast and kept pace with the enhanced human.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Li Lin sneered, the mechanical right arm slicing through the air. Before the enhanced human could create distance, Li Lin swiftly grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.
"Roar!"
In pain, the enhanced human grimaced at Li Lin, his eyes covered with purple capillaries revealing anger and hatred.
While his remaining arm and suspended legs continued to punch and kick the power armor, showing no fear of the impending death.
"That's enough."
Seeing that the enhanced human showed no signs of stopping, Li Lin gradually lost patience.
His right hand grabbed the enhanced human, slamming him to the ground, while his left hand continued to punch his face repeatedly.
After a dozen punches, the enhanced human's face swelled into an unrecognizable mess, with almost indistinguishable facial features.
Fortunately, Li Lin didn't exert his full strength; otherwise, a few more punches, and the head would have turned into mush.
Having beaten the enhanced human into unconsciousness, Li Lin grabbed his neck again, lifted him into the air, and then threw him forcefully toward the iron bridge where Silco was.
"Damn it!"
Faced with such a massive object flying towards him, Silco cursed under his breath and swiftly dodged to the side.
Subsequently, the enormous body of the enhanced human slid out from the depressed part of the iron bridge, crashing heavily onto the ground, completely tearing apart his upper clothing, revealing a pool of purple blood.
Li Lin slowly returned to a normal standing position from the throwing motion, looking at Silco, who was supporting himself on the metal railing, somewhat startled.
"Now, can we talk properly?"
First, edit and then change.
