Chapter 425: Mechanical Swarm Approaches – The Heavy Assault Destroyer
Chapter 425: Mechanical Swarm Approaches – The Heavy Assault Destroyer
Although Death Withering would affect surrounding creatures, he had already suppressed its negative effects to the minimum. With Little Treasure's tier, handling it should still be effortless.
Rustle rustle—
Little Treasure immediately obediently shrank and transformed, coiling around Lynn's waist like a snake.
Having made all preparations.
Now it was time to find an opportunity to make contact with the Flesh and Blood Cult side.
As long as he didn't run into that team led by the Saint, his disguise would be absolutely solid.
Lynn narrowed his eyes, gazing at the massive flesh cyst in the distance, then turned to jump off the building.
But almost at that very instant.
BOOM—
A tremendous roar, so loud it made the entire ground rumble and tremble.A dark, thick warhead instantly tore through the cloud layer, streaking across Lynn's vision with unimaginable speed like a stream of light, then slammed heavily into that enormous cyst.
"Holy crap!!"
Lynn, who had just jumped, immediately gritted his teeth, grabbed the rooftop railing, pressed down his hat, and swiftly jumped back.
A massive shockwave instantly surged wildly through the streets on both sides of the small building.
Just as he had thought.
The Mechanical Cult was attacking!
For those mechanical units, how could they possibly allow such a huge lump of flesh cyst to block the path here?!
Lynn immediately activated the Ghost Mode of his Night Doctor equipment, suppressing his aura to the minimum and entering a transparent state.
BOOM—
Next, dozens more warheads came streaking from various directions towards that flesh cyst.
But Lynn could vaguely see that just as the warheads were about to hit the flesh cyst, the surface of that lump of flesh instantly transformed into high-density flesh walls, actually managing to withstand this terrifying round of airstrikes.
Even so.
Under the impact of dozens of warheads, cracks began appearing one after another on the flesh walls.
"They're here!"
Lynn suddenly looked up, his gaze instantly landing on the densely packed white mechanical pods appearing in the sky.
And it wasn't just targeting this location!
Simultaneously, from various directions across the Cursed City, huge explosions rang out, and dense mechanical pods shot down towards various parts of the Cursed City like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
This was a large-scale offensive launched by the Mechanical Cult against the Flesh and Blood Cult forces within the city!
BOOM—
Amidst the series of loud bangs.
One after another, mechanical pods exploded on the streets, with large numbers of Mechanical Pioneers and Mechanical Spiders swarming out from the pods.
They were attacking!
"Target locked—Flesh and Blood Cult large-scale aberration fortress—Mission objective—Extermination—"
Swish swish swish—
One after another, the mechanical units' eyes lit up with cold-toned red light, then quickly formed ranks and launched assaults towards that massive flesh cyst from three directions.
And this time, a new type of mechanical combat unit appeared, with full-body white armor and levitation devices, forming one massive heavy-duty machine after another.
Cannon barrels as thick as bowls hummed as they aimed at the flesh cyst. With mechanical rumbling, a blue beam of light instantly shot out.
Swish—
Under the beam, a deep trench was instantly gouged into the flesh wall of the massive flesh cyst fortress.
And information about that mechanical unit immediately appeared before Lynn's eyes.
[High-Energy Mechanical Heavy Unit · Breaker]
[Type]: Heavy Assault Unit
[Race]: Mechanical Units
[Alignment]: Absolute Lawful
[Combat Ability]: Extremely high destructive power obtained by sacrificing mobility.
[Introduction]: Heavy armament of the Mechanical Cult's ground forces under their intelligent machinery technology, possessing extremely high defense and attack power. Equipped with the latest high-energy particle beam cannon, it boasts unimaginable penetration and armor-piercing capabilities. Its lethality against flesh-and-blood organisms ranks first among the Mechanical Cult's ground units!
And such heavy mechanical units arrived all at once, three of them.
"Let me see how you'll handle this. The Desire Mother Tree faction shouldn't be all cowards, right?"
Lynn observed intently.
Because judging from the large number of mechanical wreckage earlier, this stronghold had been holding out here for a long time, withstanding wave after wave of attacks from the Mechanical Cult.
It must have some trump card for dealing with the Mechanical Cult.
And the next moment.
Right under Lynn's watchful gaze, that massive flesh cyst moved.
Like a pulse beating, the flesh cyst violently contracted once, then with a rustling sound, shot out massive tentacle-like vessels from within towards all directions.
Mechanical Pioneers that were touched were sent flying dozens of meters away with heavy impacts.
And those flesh tentacles immediately adhered to the surrounding tall buildings, like tree branches, rustling as they bloomed into blood-red buds one after another.
And those buds, like human faces, suddenly tore open into smiles, then abruptly split open into dozens of petals from the middle, emitting eerie, murmuring laughter.
"Hehehehe hahaha hehe—"
[Warning! You are being affected by the "Malicious Intent Curse"! Evade immediately! Evade immediately!]
[Ding! Your SAN -40]
In an instant.
Even Lynn, who was far from the battlefield, suddenly felt a surge of insane, malicious impulses welling up from the depths of his heart. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he actually raised his left hand and bit down hard on it.
Zuo Zuo (ΩДΩ): "Yada!!"
And under that terrifying influence, Zuo Zuo also opened her mouth wide and bit down hard on Lynn's right hand.
Eerie laughter wandered through his consciousness.
Those malicious thoughts grew wildly.
It actually made Lynn instantly desire to devour Zuo Zuo alive, to eat first then do the deed, eat again after doing it, do it again after eating, with the frenzied desire swelling like a bursting dam.
And just as this desire was aroused and became nearly uncontrollable.
Twang—
A string tone.
[Ding! You are affected by the "Soul String Tone," your SAN +30]
Accompanied by that purifying string tone, Lynn finally gasped, snapping out of that intense desire. Zuo Zuo was already covered in bite marks from him, and one of his right-hand fingers had been gnawed off by Zuo Zuo.
"Another mental influence?!"
Lynn gritted his teeth, knowing that this time, it was Miss Puppet who had helped him dispel the effect.
But even under Miss Puppet's string tone, that intense desire was still stirring restlessly, only barely suppressed.
He immediately looked up towards the battlefield.
And over there on the battlefield, it was already a scene of chaos.
The consciousnesses of large numbers of Mechanical Pioneers were severely disrupted. The humanoid mechanical units at the front actually started shooting at each other left and right with bangs, already suffering significant casualties.
Consciousness!
Exactly!
Lynn finally confirmed the greatest weakness of the Mechanical Cult.
