Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 621 - 152: The New Great Serpent

Constructs, as the super assassins of the Mechanical System, are unlikely to be natural.

Even the Mechanical Civilization rarely produces them, after all, their destructive power is too great.

On the contrary, the Carbon-Based Civilization, for some unspeakable needs, will secretly cultivate some.

However, do original constructs exist? Actually, they do, but it’s a very small probability—small, but not impossible.

Right now, here is one such example.

Construct - Gear Machine

Whether Gao Gong or Single God, the hint of familiarity they felt was actually because the two are of the same kind.

And battles between constructs are quite straightforward.

It’s like two ’Mechanical Venoms’ entangling each other, not only dehumanizing but also preventing the other from being human.

Gears stack madly, in thousands, in tens of thousands, frantically slicing the Möbius Ring, slicing the Scythe of Death, slicing the crazily extending arms.

Similarly, Gao Gong’s spine has turned into bizarre annular forms, completely wrapping both sides, the rotation endless.

And within the rings, either layers of deadly metal flowers bloom from various parts of the opponent’s body, or it seems like a circle of eerie mechanical silhouettes is dancing a terrifying dance, with every movement causing a gear to shatter.

Battles between constructs cannot be stopped, ending only in the total destruction of one side.

The outcome is not hard to guess.

Constructs on Gao Gong’s body numbered five, whereas the opponent had only one.

So, when the last gear disintegrated, a figure suddenly shot out from the ring.

On the opposite side, the grotesque mechanical construct twisted even further, with countless pieces of flesh writhing and forcibly compressing the strange mechanical body into a human form.

Gao Gong licked his lips, a hint of intoxication flashing in his eyes.

"Delicious."

The death constructs of constructs are easily addictive, and countless mechanical people who followed the path of constructs ultimately turned into outright murder machines.

[You defeated the former Mechanical Martial God - Single God, Experience +500,000, Specialization Points +10, Xiao Family Favorability +500]

Former Martial God?

Xiao Family Favorability?

Gao Gong was already quite interested in the other party, now he was even more intrigued.

He walked up to the other party, standing high and looking down without speaking.

And lying collapsed on the ground, with his whole body rotten and no trace of combat power left, Single God also looked at him with shocked and complex eyes.

"You, you actually comprehended mechanical madness too!"

"You call this madness? Bullshit, even in the Mechanical Realm, this is considered a wonderful evolution."

"How did you suppress your murderous desire?!"

Because I got the perfect version given by the system, plus ’Biological Transformation’ suppresses the killing nature.

Gao Gong didn’t answer, instead, he thoughtfully said:

"So, you joined the Neuro Editing Group to suppress the killing nature on you with their brain transformation technology."

Single God opened his mouth, didn’t speak, evidently admitting it.

"A temporary fix, not a permanent solution," Gao Gong sneered, "If the hardware isn’t fixed, what good is clearing the system files every day."

"This kind of suppression is a slow poison, sooner or later, without the influence of the killing nature, your brain will malfunction by itself."

"Work with me, and I’ll show you the true wonders of constructs, guaranteed to make you ecstatic!"

A naturally formed ’Construct’ is an extremely rare existence.

In fact, Gao Gong could use him as a blueprint to create his own ’Construct Corps’.

He doesn’t need to persuade the other party, the twisted mechanical nature that torments him day and night, every moment, every second, is enough to make the other party speak without reserve.

As Gao Gong stepped over him and walked towards the next level, Single God, after a brief struggle, spoke up:

"Be careful of the Special-Level Project, the Sawtooth."

Gao Gong halted his steps, not turning around as he said, "What is that?"

"An ancient large-scale shield machine, Dou spent a lot of resources modifying it into a Civilization Weapon as the last resort."

"When you woke up from the Virtual Space, Dou immediately instructed me to awaken it."

Gao Gong grunted, turned to look at him, a peculiar expression on his face.

"Luckily, you reminded me, otherwise I might have been fine, but you would likely have been in trouble."

Single God froze for a moment, not understanding until he found himself suddenly lifted, and then purple light filled his vision. By the time he realized it, an overcast sky loomed overhead.

He struggled to lift his neck, only then discovering that somehow, he was on the rooftop of a tall building.

Moreover, those previous ’guests’ appeared one by one out of nowhere: Scorpion, Black Python, Mr. Brainstem, Host Brain.

When the last ’guest’ appeared, Single God’s eyes bulged in shock.

Gao Gong was holding his boss, Dou, who was soaking wet and semi-conscious.

"Oh, youth, truly young," Gao Gong lamented, tossing him to the ground.

"Not even a clone double, don’t know if it’s bravery or simple incompetence."

"If I act now, your boss will be completely done."

Gao Gong looked toward the Beehive nearby; cracks were already forming from the central avenue, expanding outward with the Beehive as the center.

One can imagine, once this thing surfaces from underground, it might even ’consume’ the Beehive itself.

Gao Gong did not doubt the ’shield machine’s ability, this thing is certainly not the ancient version. In fact, even the lowest level Civilization Weapon possesses astounding destructive power.

However, Gao Gong had a peculiar expression.

The reason is simple, this thing’s effect is very similar to his own product, Level 3 Civilization Architecture - Earth Element Breakthrough Machine.

One’s prototype is an ’ancient shield machine’, the other’s prototype is an ’ancient Earth Core Excavator’.

But looking at the effects alone, the former should be a mini version of the latter.

If the ’Earth Element Excavator’ were used, the effect would not just be destroying a building.

Among the several Civilization Weapons mastered by Du Gao Technology, its destructiveness is the strongest.

"So, how do you turn it off now," Gao Gong glanced at the unconscious Dou, "Can killing him do it?"

"It most likely can, but I don’t recommend you do that."

"Is it because once this thing gets out of control, it will destroy all ’Mechanical Brain Transformation’ control devices?" Gao Gong queried.

"That’s part of it, but more importantly, inside this boy lies something extremely precious, his horrific talent stems from it."

Having decided to take allegiance, Single God was now completely forthcoming.

"What is it, what is that thing?" Gao Gong asked in surprise.

"I don’t know," Single God forced his neck to turn, looking at the ’Host Brain’, "But he certainly knows, it was because of that object that he joined the Neuro Editing Group, he once hinted at me to join forces with him to control Dou, dissect and study him."

"If that’s the case, then indeed I can’t kill him, just, I also can’t just watch it destroy the control device group," Gao Gong hesitated, suddenly twisted his face.

"Forget it, I’ll do it myself anyway, I have to try it sooner or later."

Single God was still bewildered when he felt himself being lifted, and then an overwhelming breath far surpassing his prime burst out. His face was full of astonishment, realizing that the other party hadn’t yet used all his strength. At this moment, he dearly wanted to see, see what form the other was in full force, but his neck barely obeyed, and the pain left him completely immobilized.

...

When Gao Gong once again arrived at the lowest level of the Beehive, he had entered the Carbon-Based state, was now enveloped in a thin layer of silvery metal over his skin. Although it was metal, it was full of unusual life force.

Biological Energy surging!

Unlike before, in the Great Serpent Mode, Gao Gong’s surface was covered with a layer of virus metal that, regardless of its metallic appearance, was filled with peculiar life force.

Of course, this was because Gao Gong had spent a lot of time and had even completed a Tier 2 - Nightmare-level Task to obtain the super virus metal.

And the simplest and most direct effect of this virus metal was that when he drifted into a metal wall, he actually went right through it.

It was as if the entire wall disintegrated as if chewed by something, dissolving on the spot with only metal liquid left to indicate its existence.
