124. The Colossal Titan Falls (Double Chapter)
Hiss——
The beam welding gun tore through Biohazard King-kong's armor and flesh, causing his whole body to shudder without the teleportation Omega Energy.
The electromagnetic properties of the [Mechanic]'s mana inflicted significant damage on the [Biochemist]'s flesh, despite the level difference, the reality was evident.
"Stay out of my way!"
Biohazard King-kong leaned forward, clasping his hands together, his whole body surged with immense energy.
[Crane Style • Energy Burst]
Fierce burning energy instantly enveloped his entire body, roaring outwards like a tsunami. Du Zexin strained his neck, turning his body with difficulty, making continuous sharp turns, his speed reaching an unprecedented Mach 5 under the particle coverage from the reactor overflow.
"Arghhhhh——"
Du Zexin raised his head with difficulty, the intense overload caused him to experience blackouts and bloody vision, only the injected inhibitors maintained stable blood pressure within his body.
"You pesky fly——huh?"
Biohazard King-kong was about to pursue, his massive body suddenly convulsed violently, the sacred protective light on his body dimmed instantly.
"Ugh—Li Aozi!"
That guy drew away another 60 Omega Energy. So far, his body contained at least 348 Omega Energy.
"You want to turn into a pile of genetic sludge?!"
The professor growled, activating dozens of Omega Energy consecutively, the Calamity liquid at her feet surged, being absorbed into her body, turning Biohazard King-kong's pupils red-black.
At the same time, due to the rapid loss of Omega Energy, Biohazard King-kong's body began to disintegrate, humanoid cocoon structures unraveled, releasing emaciated, mummy-like Calamity-infected beings, who didn't fall from high altitude but floated in mid-air under the anti-gravity system, forming obstacles like meteors.
"Damn——"
Du Zexin's pupils contracted, further limiting his maneuvering space.
The effect of force is mutual, flying at Mach 5 speed, even hitting a coin head-on could penetrate his armor.
Not to mention, these are living humans, crashing into them would destroy his machine and kill him, and the Calamity-infected beings would also be pulverized.
Du Zexin dared not have any mental gaps, he gritted his teeth, maneuvering through the scattered infected, continuously decelerating to prevent the created wind from blowing them out of the anti-gravity field, causing them to fall.
When he carefully avoided everything and decelerated his armor, Biohazard King-kong's red-black eyeball suddenly appeared in front of him.
Biohazard King-kong's pupils rapidly focused, Du Zexin convulsed all over, tiny air bubbles appearing on his skin.
[Air Embolism]
A human body cannot contain more than 10ml of air, exceeding 50ml causes an air embolism in blood vessels, leading to rapid death.
Pop!
The Beta-class body forcibly absorbed 400ml of air, preventing coronary and cerebral artery embolisms.
But Du Zexin's situation was unique—his blood vessels already contained a large amount of inhibitors, making his blood viscous, now in an overloaded state, his cranial blood was being compressed downward.
In this situation, the blood pressure pushed the injected air upward. As a [Mechanic], his blood lacked the vitality of a [Martial Artist], making it completely unable to absorb the air.
"Nordley died of kindness, and so will you, mechanical boy."
The professor's statement confirmed that the infected floating in mid-air were intentional, used to obstruct Du Zexin's evasion.
But Du Zexin couldn't rebuke this vile, inhumane behavior, his blood strived to absorb the air but was still futile.
Eventually, nearly 20ml of air rushed into his brain, causing some cerebral veins to burst due to pressure imbalance.
Blood seeped from Du Zexin's eyes, his head drooping, his body suspended in mid-air.
"Ugh...ugh..."
Cerebral hemorrhage from venous rupture rendered him unable to control one side of his body, his right eye went blind instantly, his tongue stiffened, vomit and blood choked his throat, nearly suffocating him.
Maybe...the professor was right.
Human bodies are too weak, completely mismatched with machines.
——Could it be that the Mechanic's path was indeed wrong?
Du Zexin's body floated in the anti-gravity field, his vision rapidly darkening, the brain hemorrhage made his body increasingly cold.
Floating, cold, darkness.
Just like outer space.
The massive bio-giant stood tall, extending its sinister claws inward, trying to grasp Li Aozi's figure, the giant shadow cast in Du Zexin's eyes, terrifying like a demon.
Are there monsters like Biohazard King-kong in space too?
Du Zexin's body floated aimlessly, the Magnum Blast Gun slipping from his grip, drifting away.
So cold, so dark—just as cruel as the outside world and this planet.
Humans can only go this far, never leaving this land, just like his homeland Frost-Plated, rotten, corrupted, hopeless.
"Come out, Li Aozi——"
Biohazard King-kong extended numerous tentacles, piercing his own abdominal cavity, but no matter how much he destroyed, he couldn't hit Li Aozi's exact location.
One Omega Energy after another was lost, Biohazard King-kong's arrogant figure gradually thinned.
"You are regressing! You're killing hope, only I understand how to utilize Calamity, what you're doing is wasting their talents——"
Hiss!
As Biohazard King-kong was about to punch his chest, his massive body suddenly stiffened.
Buzz...buzz buzz...buzz buzz buzz...
A series of thermal reactions lit up under his skin, the next moment, Biohazard King-kong raised his head, opened his mouth, releasing dazzling white brilliance!
Boom!
[Daylight Brilliance]
Light.
Du Zexin's vision quickly brightened with a rosy glow.
Light, so warm, like the sun.
"Li——Ao——Zi——"
Biohazard King-kong's body burned from within, continuous irradiation destroyed his bio-system from the inside.
Flame, the eternal nemesis of carbon-based life.
Continuous burning was not enough to completely destroy the bio-giant, but the scorching pain was enough to torment the professor, a mad scientist with no practical experience.
"I will kill you——Li Aozi, I want you to die the ugliest death!"
The burning flames made the professor abandon reason, reawakening the primal fear of carbon-based creatures towards high temperatures, forgetting she could control Omega Energy and the [Biochemist]'s skills.
"It's not over yet——"
Li Aozi's voice came from within Biohazard King-kong's flesh, his tone numb and weary, but the excitement was undeniable.
"Your Biohazard King-kong is just a low-level Frankenstein! Without exploiting these pure Omega Energy users, it's nothing!"
"Watch closely, this is how you use Omega Energy!"
"Kneel for me——"
Rumble——!
Knees slammed heavily to the ground!
Biohazard King-kong collapsed, his body disintegrating under the gravity, breaking apart.
Biohazard King-kong fell into the Calamity liquid—yet this liquid was not water, unable to extinguish the fire, instead the abundant organic components fueled the flames.
"How could this be—Biohazard King-kong is invincible! Why is this happening?"
Many infected and Du Zexin's body were thrown out, miraculously not dying due to the Calamity liquid cushioning, the clash of fire and cold liquid awakened their survival instincts, mustering all their strength, desperately swimming towards the shore.
"…Yes, there's still the sun in the universe. Isn't this—still hope!?"
Du Zexin mumbled, his left eye focused, mustering strength, kneeling up half his body from the red-black waves, the heavy armor now a prison, without hesitation he used his remaining strength to switch back to normal mobility mode.
"Initiate intelligent control."
He said coldly, the AI activated, taking over half the mech's body, instantly straightening up.
"Check weapons..."
"Fox missiles: empty."
"Tao anti-vehicle shells: empty."
"Magnum Blast Gun: offline."
"Inspection complete."
From the armor's back, a foldable personal defense weapon, the size of a briefcase, was deployed. The AI instantly transformed it into a submachine gun with six silver barrels.
"PDW•Red Wolf—ready."
The excessive overclocking made the AI emit a strong burnt smell. Du Zexin remained motionless, raising the last weapon, aiming at Biohazard King-kong.
"Professor Abyss, there are too many beings like you on the Azure Planet."
"You all deserve to die—my research has been ruined by you all!"
Biohazard King-kong bathed in flames, the professor's shrieks echoed throughout the space. He hammered the ground with a fist.
Having lost most of his Omega Energy, he couldn't even stand up. The gravity of the Azure Planet—not just the gravity of the Azure Planet.
Du Zexin noticed Biohazard King-kong's spine completely bent, the back sunk in.
It was Li Aozi who dismantled his anti-gravity system, releasing tens of times the gravity, pinning him to the ground.
The surging red sea waves churned, Biohazard King-kong resembled a sinking giant ship, revealing the desperation and death struggle at the end of his rope.
His skeleton was too heavy, possessing immense power while also bearing the natural punishment.
Du Zexin stood steadily in place, countless infected brushed past him. Moving against the crowd, he raised his weapon, walking forward, always keeping the gun aimed at Biohazard King-kong's head:
"Not so arrogant now?"
Biohazard King-kong opened his mouth, revealing a muddy and blurry female figure inside. She clawed and roared, her arms splitting into petal-like shapes, firing plasma clusters at Du Zexin.
"Die!"
Bang!
The AI's deep learning results were displayed, quickly raising the gun, the intelligent submachine gun lightly firing, destroying two plasma clusters. The explosive blue electric light filled the vision ahead, forcing Du Zexin to squint his left eye, temporarily blinded.
The professor's main body emerged from Biohazard King-kong, entwined with numerous twisted tentacles, her lower body transformed into a spider-like structure, crawling swiftly, trying to eliminate Du Zexin, the Beta-class [Mechanic], in one go during his blindness.
However, the AI was unaffected by this.
In Du Zexin's single eye, the panel only framed the professor's figure.
"I see you."
It deftly moved forward, backward, left, and right, adjusting its position, raising the submachine gun. In a manner beyond the limits of human physical posture, it crazily fired, as if there was no recoil, pouring fire on the incoming professor!
Ratatatatatatata——
This PDW weapon didn't use cheap steel core bullets but expensive pulse rounds. The plasma in the air emitted a dazzling blue glow, with ultra-miniature gyroscopes turning, allowing the intelligent bullets carrying plasma warheads to instantly target the professor's figure in the air.
Swish swish swish—
Countless bullets instantly pierced the professor's weak defense, the plasma igniting flames and smoke on her body. The professor screamed, injecting herself with a pain-blocking drug, still madly crawling towards Du Zexin.
She had gone insane.
The massive Biohazard King-kong had his Omega Energy forcibly drained by Li Aozi, unable to stand, contrary to her design. Even with a gamma-level body, it couldn't be driven.
Why was this happening?
Could it be that the Azure Planet really couldn't produce creations beyond Beta-level?
Clearly, the power of Calamity was so strong and mysterious, she had studied it for decades. Biohazard King-kong was the ultimate weapon developed through meticulous calculation and repeated testing.
How could such a problem arise?
Was Calamity really not a necessary condition for transcendence...or did Calamity never exist from the beginning?
As Li Aozi said, was it just a phenomenon?
——Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"This defies science! Look at this liquid, they are widely present in Calamity-infected beings, identical to those specimens in the sky, objectively existing things, how could they just be a phenomenon!?"
The professor opened her mouth, spraying a dense biochemical virus mist, but Du Zexin was unfazed.
"Using poison mist against the fully enclosed armor and permanent filters of a Mechanic—are you crazy?"
Du Zexin mocked, shutting down the helmet's heat sink, relying entirely on the internal air conditioning to maintain temperature.
The AI continued to fire, after separating from Biohazard King-kong, the professor's main body was just a weak, poorly armored ordinary Beta-class [Biochemist]. Against pulse ammunition and the AI's insane auto-aiming, the professor's body was quickly torn into numerous long strips of bloody wounds.
But she seemed truly insane as Du Zexin mocked, or perhaps she saw through the AI's temporary valor, knowing the ammo wouldn't last long.
In any case, she no longer defended herself, spreading a pair of sheath wings on her back, quickly flapping, instantly closing in on Du Zexin.
At least in this path, she wasn't wrong.
No matter how much she failed, she had gone further than the [Mechanic]'s path!
The AI turned the gun, aiming at the professor's head, pulling the trigger.
With just one shot, the professor's sinful life would end here, everything would be over!
Click——
At this crucial moment, the PDW's pulse rounds were completely exhausted.
"Haha, bad luck for you!"
The professor grinned, her lightning-wrapped claws instantly stabbing towards Du Zexin's head.
Du Zexin's expression remained calm. He dropped the weapon, knowing there was no escape at this distance. Even if he dodged, his cerebral hemorrhage wouldn't allow him to continue fighting.
As the claws tore open the second layer of his helmet's defense, piercing his facial muscles, he suddenly felt time slow down.
Clearly without activating the [Peak Hour] plugin, he felt time slow down a hundredfold, the entire world filled with mercury.
Then, Du Zexin saw scenes: from his birth in a black clinic, an ordinary birth, to his parents and sisters dying tragically, to job searching and studying, facing discrimination all the way, finally becoming a civil servant, and reversing situations in various units...
Scene after scene, most meaningless, drifting through life aimlessly.
Until this moment, he walked against the crowd, facing the fallen titan with his small body.
"Only this moment, I truly lived like a person."
Du Zexin closed his eyes, quietly waiting. The next moment, the blade-like claw pierced the second layer of the helmet's defense, the tip stabbing into his facial muscles.
Hiss—
Blood splattered, his head flung back.
"Huh?!"
Du Zexin opened his eyes in shock, through the damaged helmet, he saw the headless corpse before him.
He turned his head, a red-black crystalline long sword, exceeding his visual limit, exaggeratedly pierced the professor's head, lifting it into the air.
"Li...Li Ao...you still haven't—"
"Omega Energy and violence, both insulted by you."
Li Aozi said calmly, a pale purple halo lighting up in his pupils.
