The Legendary Mechanic, page 420
His energy had a new (Void) attribute, and he could borrow the void to transmit energy.
This meant that the efficiency of his Mechanical Force being transmitted was greatly increased.
Clank!
The sound of his Mechanical Army being activated could be heard from the clouds, and his Mechanical Army went to war!
“Orders for the army have been received. Attack region has been confirmed, hum…” Phillip’s voice sounded from Han Xiao’s helmet.
The next instant, over a million psionic cannons opened fire and rained down like a thunderstorm!
Boom!
The entire region was instantly flattened, and the metallic ground cracked up from the psionic canons. Mechanical parts flew in all directions, and craters could be seen all over the surface of the satellite.
Almost forty percent of the defensive canons were destroyed in just a single blow!
The armed satellite fortress was completely suppressed by Han Xiao’s army. Han Xiao’s Mechanical Army descended and dismantled the artillery towers of the armed satellite fortress.
Fighting could be seen all around with the smoke of war covering the entire battlefield.
All of a sudden, a high energy alert sounded from Han Xiao’s mechanical suit, and he immediately dodged to the side.
Hu!
Tamaria’s axe then shot narrowly past his body.
The mobility of a Pugilist was extremely high, and the moment her first attack missed, Tamaria turned around in midair and swung her axe down in rapid succession.
Her powerful attacks resulted in a deafening sonic boom with every attack.
Han Xiao released two psionic shields with his hands and received the attack without any hesitation. Sparks shot out in all directions, and a loud clanging sound resounded like thunder.
Swoosh!
Dark silver nanoparticles then rushed out from the tube at the back of the Mountain Ape suit and transformed into four half bodied phantoms. The phantoms floated behind Han Xiao and aimed their canons at Tamaria and Han Xiao, who were fighting.
Bang!
The four phantoms launched their first round of attacks but did not manage to stop Tamaria from engaging in close combat battle. She circulated her energy to form a flaming shield and blocked their attack!
Bang!
The second round of attacks was fired, and Tamaria remained indifferent. Such a level of attack was not sufficient to make her dodge.
When the third round of attacks was fired, Tamaria wanted to block it as before, but suddenly, she felt a powerful force ignoring her arm and going straight for her organs.
The (Legendary Battle Technique] was activated!
The sound of the explosion was louder than before!
Bang!
Tamaria’s expression dropped, and she could not help but retreat.
What a powerful penetrating force!
Tamaria suppressed her surging blood and had a face of shock.
Han Xiao made use of the opportunity to widen the gap between them as he looked at the battle information from his interface.
Thirty-five percent of True Damage from the previous attack had exceeded 12,000 points of damage. Apart from the basic boost from his Mechanical Force, he did not use any other skills. Just the additional True Damage from the (Legendary Battle Technique] skill had exceeded the reduced damage from the three rounds of attacks!
A Molding Talent is truly terrifying! Han Xiao thought to himself.
This talent was truly the bane of all Pugilists.
Tamaria should be a level 230 Pugilist who was toward the tanky side. Her Endurance should be about 1,600 points, so she should have a few talents to increase the strength of her body. Her health should also be above 300,000.
Currently, Tamaria’s health should be more than fifty percent higher than Han Xiao’s, but both of them were tanky in different ways. Han Xiao relied on the conversion between energy and health, and his recovery rate could make a Pugilist who walked the path of being a tank doubt their own life.
This talent truly exceeded my expectations. As long as my Mechanical Army can ensure that their attacks hit the target…
All those thoughts flashed through Han Xiao’s head in less than a second, and the other four Calamity Grade Supers caught up and launched their various attacks!
Han Xiao hurriedly avoided all the long-ranged attacks and suddenly felt an attack coming from behind him.
One of his opponents was a Pugilist who walked the path of agility. He nimbly made his way around Han Xiao like a shooting star, and his alloy dagger shot toward Han Xiao’s spine. He wanted to immobilize Han Xiao.
Han Xiao did not even turn back, and the four phantoms collapsed back into their nanoparticle form. The nanoparticles then formed a mechanical hand that was about seven to eight meters tall. The fingers and palm formed a psionic shield and blocked the sneak attack of this Pugilist.
Bang!
The mechanical hand then threw the Pugilist away as though it was throwing away rubbish!
After experiencing the strength of his new talent, Han Xiao no longer fought Tamaria and the others personally. Instead, he issued a new command, and half of his Mechanical Army surrounded the five Calamity Grade Supers.
He would attack them from the side to disrupt the enemy’s attacks and harass them.
“Do you think this junk will be able to stop
us”
Tamaria’s roar resounded, and the flames on her body exploded.
At the same time, outside the protective shield of the hyperdrive base, Morred and the other two Section Zero fleets were fighting with the defensive fleet of the enemy.
They had boasted the upper hand at the start of the battle and forced the enemy to retreat. However, the other strongholds had received news from the base, and a portion of their troops had immediately been sent to reinforce this hyperdrive base.
The battle was extremely intense at the moment, and neither party had the upper hand.
“Only Black Star has boarded one of the armed satellite fortresses. How is the situation over there?”
Morred could see Han Xiao’s location from the main control room.
Section Zero had sent a few teams of powerhouses to attempt to board nine different armed satellite fortresses. However, all the others had been forced back, and only Black Star had managed to board one of the armed satellite fortresses.
Morred’s palm was covered with cold sweat. His fleet was currently outside the protective shield. Whether or not he could destroy the base was dependent on if Black Star could destroy the armed satellite fortress.
He was the hope of the entire village!
“Sir, we have observed the battle between Black Star and the armed satellite fortress. The enemy has sent five Calamity Grade Supers to stop him, and they seem to have tied Black Star down.”
“This is bad.” Morred felt his heart tighten.
If Black Star was tied down, the entire battle would end up in a stalemate. The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Gritting his teeth, Morred issued an order.
“Inform the other two fleets. Ask all their Calamity Grade Supers to form a small team and reinforce Black Star. He has been pinned down by the enemy and needs support!”
Chapter 683. One Combo! |
At the center of the base station, the base station commander was also observing Black Star’s movements.
“Black Star is the only one to have penetrated the protective shield. Tamaria has taken people to deal with him,” an observing officer said.
The base station commander nodded and looked at the radar. Suddenly, his eyes constricted.
“Hmm? The enemy has sent a Calamity Grade team toward the armed satellite fortress that Black Star is in? They’re trying to back Black Star up,” the base station commander said with a deep voice. “Just in case, send five more Calamity Grades to Black Star. We can’t let the enemies destroy our armed satellite fortresses. If the base station loses its protection, our loss will be inevitable!”
As the order was sent, five more Calamity Grades were deployed.
Both sides sent reinforcements to the battlefield that Black Star was in.
On the armed satellite fortress, Han Xiao had been fighting with Tamaria and the other four with his mechanical army for quite a while.
The battlefield extended over hundreds of miles. Everywhere they passed, the surface of the fortress was torn apart and messed up.
The battle in the sky had reached its climax.
Boom boom boom!
The five Calamity Grades dashed left and right. Broken mechanical soldiers fell from the sky one after another.
Boom!
The dark-gold mechanical axe was being spun around like a tornado, crushing every machinery in its path. Tamaria punched and kicked all the mechanical soldiers around her into pieces.
The other four were also continuously damaging the mechanical army.
It seemed like the enemies were unstoppable. However, they were actually wounded and exhausted.
The attacks of close to a million machines were very intensive. They were going to get hit sooner or later. Following the triggering requirement of the [Legendary Battle Technique], Han Xiao had changed Phillip’s control method. The first two attacks were focused on limiting the enemy’s dodge routes to increase the accuracy of the third attack.
Furthermore, he split up the attack frequency of the various units. This meant that the army’s every round of attack included a lot of True Damage. It was very lethal and gave the enemies a lot of pressure.
Tamaria did not dare ignore the attacks. She had to focus fully every time the army attacks. Otherwise, if she got hit by the True Damage attacks, suffering light injuries would be lucky.
She was furious.
This is called limited lethality?
Jorde, you’re full of sh*t!
Most of the low-grade mechanical soldiers were still fragile when facing Calamity Grades, but their attack was now on a different level.
Previously, most of the time, Han Xiao had used the mechanical army to reduce the enemy’s energy before he went to beat up the enemy personally. Now, however, the enemies were completely trapped in the mechanical army and were barely able to hold on. They did not even have a chance to approach Han Xiao.
Phillip firmly controlled the entire battle. Han Xiao was free enough to carry out Virtual Intrusion on this armed satellite fortress.
The armed satellite fortress seemed to have countless defensive measures and had held back half of his mechanical army. In order to quickly destroy this satellite, Virtual Intrusion was the most efficient method.
Boom!
At this time, Tamaria suddenly used some sort of ability and penetrated the army’s encirclement, dragging a blood red flame behind her. Like a rocket, she bolted up to Han Xiao!
“Ha!”
With a loud roar, the mechanical axe slashed down!
“Tsk.”
Han Xiao had no choice but to stop the Virtual Intrusion. Two psionic shields appeared from each of his hands and blocked this attack.
Clunk!
The axe was stuck between the shield. This time, as if the axe suddenly had an absorption force, the flames all over Tamaria’s body flowed right into it as it became more and more red.
The next moment, a thick, powerful blood-red wave launched from the axe!
It landed at zero distance!
Boom!
Being attacked by a powerful hit, Han Xiao coughed and was about to back off. To his surprise, Tamaria moved quicker and tied Han Xiao’s arms with the chain at the end of the axe, pulling him back.
“Like I said, you’re not going anywhere!” Tamaria roared and heavily headbutted Han Xiao’s forehead.
Boom!
Han Xiao felt dizzy. Tamaria had at least two thousand Strength, so it was normal for her to overwhelm him in terms of raw strength.
The vibration penetrated the helmet’s shock absorption module and caused a buzzing in his ears.
Tamaria was just about to continue attacking, but Han Xiao suddenly exited the Mountain Ape and exposed his body. Not only did he not look panicked, he even looked a little speechless.
“You really are… eager to die.”
The next moment, Han Xiao’s actions made Tamaria confused.
Not only did he not escape, he wrapped his arms around Tamaria’s waist and hugged her.
“You…”
Before Tamaria could react, she instinctively felt an extreme sense of danger. Suddenly, she figured something out, and her entire body was frozen.
All the mechanical army in the sky suddenly turned their barrels around and aimed at Han Xiao… as well as Tamaria!
“Let me go!”
Tamaria was extremely shocked and hastily tried to push Han Xiao away.
However, the Mountain Ape mechanical suit, now controlled by Phillip, shot out dozens of compressed orbs that turned into all sorts of traps and were planted around the two of them. With all those traps, neither of them were able to move for about two to three seconds.
They both became stationary targets.
Han Xiao chuckled beside Tamaria’s ear and said, “Didn’t expect that, did you? I’m just the bait.”
“Do you want to kill yourself ?” Only after Tamaria said this did she realize that Han Xiao had the Indestructible Body title. Rage and despair appeared on her face. She clenched her teeth and said, “Do you really think you’re unkillable?”
“No.” Han Xiao blinked then said something that Tamaria did not understand. “But I’m immune to True Damage.”
The next moment, countless psionic cannons from all directions fired at once!
Boom!
The expanding ball of light consumed the two of them. The other four Calamity Grades ran away with all their might.
The ball of light expanded to its maximum before exploding. The shockwave blew away everything around it, like using an eraser on a drawing
The exploded ball of light turned into sparkling light debris and fell like rain.
At the center of the explosion, Han Xiao was healthy and vigorous. He summoned the mechanical suit and wore it again. Then, he let go of the charred corpse that was still emitting black smoke, allowing it to fall from the sky.
With (Steel Body], he was immune to True Damage. Through the health-mana cycle, the health lost from the explosion swiftly recovered. Not only was he not injured, he even felt revitalized.
Oh, it’s because the attribute increase from the Advanced Strengthened Life has already stacked so many layers. No wonder…
Han Xiao slightly raised his brows.
Using himself as the bait to control the enemy before using the mechanical army to focus fire
— this was his trump card after obtaining the ability of health-mana cycle. As long as the enemy approached him without knowing, they would fall into the trap.
After obtaining (Legendary Battle Technique), the lethality of this method had become an ace card that could now kill the enemy.
Tamaria had instantly been killed under the focus fire!
No matter who she was, in Han Xiao’s eyes, she was just a Grade A+ Pugilist that had about seventy percent health, enough to be killed with one combo.
Han Xiao turned around and looked at the other four terrified Calamity Grades with a smile.
“Come on, let’s get to know each other.”
The four Calamity Grades shivered. With horrified expressions on their faces, they only had one thought in their minds.
Don’t come any closer!
Chapter 684. Deciding Victory |
Boom!
The armed satellite fortress was plowed by the mechanical army again and again. The four Calamity Grades were no longer surrounding Han Xiao but running for their lives.
While attacking the enemies, Han Xiao was also hacking into the armed satellite fortress. After all, destroying the armed satellite fortress was his main goal. After killing Tamaria, the other four did not dare get close to him at all, so no one interrupted him.
Many of his Virtual Technology abilities were upgraded compared to before, so Han Xiao successfully obtained control of the armed satellite fortress without too much effort. A Grade A+ Virtual Mechanic could penetrate most artificial intelligences.
Han Xiao searched through the modules of the armed satellite fortress and sighed.
“No self-destruction module? Shame.”
After giving it some thought, Han Xiao controlled the armed satellite fortress to open its surface tunnels. He then sent some of the mechanical soldiers into the armed satellite fortress and planted secondary psionic bombs.
In terms of efficiency, destroying the energy furnace inside the armed satellite fortress was much more convenient than destroying the armed satellite fortress from outside.
At the same time on the main battlefield, a few small, agile spaceships dashed between the chaotic battlefield. In them were the Calamity Grades sent by Morred. They were trying to break through the enemies’ defenses and back Han Xiao up.
However, the high energy particle cannon attacks were too concentrated on the battlefield, so the reinforcement teams were forced to retreat again and again, unable to penetrate the enemies.
As the Bloodshed Land fleets arrived at the battlefield through quick reinforcement channels one after another, the main fleet could no longer provide cover for these reinforcement teams.
“The situation isn’t good. We took too long. Many enemies in the strongholds have gotten rid of the teams that were restraining them earlier and are arriving at the base station extremely quickly. The number of enemies we’re facing has multiplied many times!”
Inside the flagship, Morred’s expression changed as he heard the report.
He clenched his teeth and pushed the words through the gap of his teeth.
“If this goes on, we will only achieve a pathetic victory! Black Star is the key to breaking the situation, but he’s alone without backup. Are the helpers we sent still unable to break through their defenses?”
“They can’t. The enemies seem to know our intention and completely blocked all routes to the armed satellite fortress that Black Star is
