Chapter 416 Massacre [II] (6k chapter, monthly votes requested)

The sound echoed deep in his mind, with an indescribable mechanical feeling.

The sound was cold, like the friction of some cold metal, which made his eardrums hurt slightly.

However, the sound came and went quickly.

After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent again, as if what had just happened had never happened.

Zhao Yao's body also regained its ability to move.

He looked down at the palm of his hand.

I saw that the triangular piece of metal that I was originally holding had disappeared without a trace.

The palm of his hand was as smooth as before, without any wounds or even a trace left.

"Could it be... that I am hallucinating?"

He frowned.

Think about this.

He moved his fingers and felt no obstruction.

Then he shook his head, trying to sober himself up.

If something really enters the body, it is impossible that there will be no wound at all.

Rather than believing such absurd things, he would rather believe that he was too tired recently and had hallucinations.

After all, it is not uncommon for people to occasionally experience hallucinations after being exposed to AI neuro-games due to some human body rejection and technical reasons.

As long as you get more rest, it won't be a big problem.

However, just as he reached the bed, a sharp pain suddenly exploded in his mind.

The pain came without warning, as if someone was using a sharp knife to stir violently in his brain.

His body swayed violently and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he grabbed the wall in time and managed to stabilize himself.

Before he could recover from the shock, the voice that seemed like an auditory hallucination sounded again.

"The neural module has been successfully connected... Hello, nice to meet you, my tenth host."

The first sentence was still a cold mechanical voice, like the prompt sound of some system startup.

However, when saying "hello", the voice suddenly changed.

It turned into a pleasant female voice, with a hint of laziness and arrogance.

Zhao Yao's face froze instantly.

He shook his head subconsciously, trying to get the voice out of his mind.

However, the voice was eerily clear, as if it were whispering in his ear.

"I didn't expect my mental state to be so bad..."

He whispered to himself, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his tone.

“Not only did I get a lecture from my sister, but now I’m hearing this kind of auditory hallucination.

Indeed, young people should not stay up late often, otherwise their health will deteriorate. "

As he spoke, his face remained wooden.

Dragging my tired body, I lay down on the bed and prepared to take a rest.

However, just as he lay down and closed his eyes, the pleasant female voice sounded again.

"Detected that the new host's mental state is abnormal, initiated mental treatment."

Before he finished speaking, a strong electric current instantly ran through Zhao Yao's whole body.

His body trembled violently, his eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened, and his limbs twitched uncontrollably twice.

The tingling pain made him gasp and he curled up on the bed, unable to move.

"It turns out... it's really not an illusion..."

As soon as this thought came to Zhao Yao's mind, before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, the electric current disappeared.

"If you want to communicate with me, just think about it in your mind, no need to speak out loud."

The female voice said calmly.

Zhao Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He asked silently in his heart: "You...what on earth are you?"

The female voice snorted coldly, with a hint of arrogance.

"I am the spirit of the forbidden mecha - Dawn of Blazing Glory. You can call me Dawn of Blaze."

"Forbidden mecha? What is that?!"

Zhao Yao looked confused, totally unable to understand this unfamiliar word.

Based on the knowledge he gained in school.

There are six levels of mechas from low to high: f, d, c, b, a, and s.

F-class mecha:
As the most basic mecha, it is usually used for civilian or simple industrial tasks.

Their combat capability is very limited and they are mainly used for non-combat tasks such as transportation and construction.

They generally do not have combat capabilities and are mainly used for auxiliary work.

D-class mecha:
D-class mechas are slightly stronger than F-class mechas and have certain combat capabilities. They are usually used for maintaining public order or low-intensity combat missions.

They are equipped with weapon systems, but their firepower is limited.

The attack is only comparable to that of a tank.

It can handle small-scale conflicts, but is powerless against large battles or highly defended targets.

C-class mecha:
This level of mecha is a medium combat-effective mecha with strong firepower and defense capabilities.

Typically used for medium intensity combat missions.

They can handle most conventional combat situations.

The weapons they carry can easily destroy small towns.

B-class mecha:
It is a high-level combat mecha with powerful firepower and defensive capabilities.

Can handle most combat scenarios with ease.

Equivalent to the aircraft carrier or strategic bomber of the old times.

The power is enough to destroy a city.

A-class mecha.

It can be said to be a mecha with top-level combat capabilities.

It has extremely powerful firepower and defense capabilities and is usually used in strategic-level combat missions.

It can cause massive damage in a short period of time and has the ability to change the situation of a battle.

The speed is several times faster than the speed of sound and can destroy an area of ​​thousands of miles.

S-class mecha: A legendary mecha with the power to destroy everything in its path.

Its presence is generally seen as a strategic deterrent and it rarely appears on the battlefield.

The destructive power possessed by this kind of existence is already astonishing.

It can sink continental plates and destroy the ecosystem.

This kind of mecha is already the strongest mecha Zhao Yao knows.

As for the forbidden mecha that the other party mentioned, I had never heard of it.

Hear the words.

The cold and arrogant woman's voice paused slightly.

After a moment of silence, he spoke.

“I forgot that you are just an ordinary civilian, so it is understandable that you don’t know these things.

The Forbidden Mecha is the most powerful mecha, superior to the S-class mecha.

There are only eight of them in this world, and each of them has the power to destroy the world.

Its power can easily destroy the iron rock planet you live on.

And I, Xi Zhi Huang, am one of them, ranking second!"

Destroy the stars?

Zhao Yao was shocked.

However, he then thought of what the other person had said before.

I couldn't help but ask.

"You just said that I am the tenth host, what about the previous nine?"

"died!"

Xi Guang said.

"Didn't you say that the Forbidden Mecha is very powerful? Then how could the host die? Is there anyone in this world who can defeat the Forbidden Mecha?"

Zhao Yao frowned.

“That’s naturally impossible.

The Forbidden Mecha is the strongest, no doubt about it.

The only thing that can defeat a forbidden mecha is another forbidden mecha.

It’s all because of that idiot ninth host, he was too arrogant.

Although he had the ability to kill the enemy instantly, he insisted on killing them one by one. As a result, he was ambushed and corroded by the Touch of Eclipse.

I blew up my mech seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds ago, which put me in this situation now, with only one mech core left!"

The mecha spirit named Xiguang said coldly, his tone full of resentment towards the previous host.

Zhao Yao was stunned and his mind was in chaos.

What do you call this a forbidden mecha? It should be a cursed mecha. All nine hosts died.

He is still young and wants to live two more years.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally managed a sentence.

"Um, can you untie me? I may not be suitable for it, and you only have one mecha core left, which should be useless..."

"No, once bound, it cannot be undone unless the host dies!"

Before he could finish his words, the other party interrupted Zhao Yao's thoughts.

"Don't use the same perspective as you would look at an ordinary mecha to define a forbidden mecha.

For the forbidden mecha, the core is its essence, and the damage on the surface is nothing.

As long as the core remains, the forbidden mecha will eventually return to the world.

And you, as the tenth mecha master recognized by me, are responsible for the mission of making the Blazing Dawn reappear in the world."

Hear the words.

Zhao Yao was like a deflated ball.

He asked somewhat unwillingly.

"Why... did you come to me?"

The woman chuckled.

"Because you have the blood of the Lightborn. Only those with the blood of the Lightborn are qualified to control the forbidden mecha."

As if she had anticipated Zhao Yao's doubts, she continued to explain.

“The bloodline of the descendants of light is a gift from the sun and is the most noble bloodline in the world.

It is destined to be above all other beings."

What is the Lightborn bloodline? How come I've never heard of it? I'm not anything special except that I'm handsome, have good grades, and am good at playing games.

My Zhao family’s ancestors for three generations were all commoners, and he can be said to be the most promising one.

If he really had such a powerful bloodline, how could he have ended up like this?

Zhao Yao frowned, his heart full of doubts, always feeling that the other party was fooling him.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, an electric current suddenly hit him and his body twitched involuntarily twice.

Zhao Yao immediately admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.

"Sister Xi, stop, stop! I was wrong! I shouldn't have doubted you."

Xiguang snorted coldly.

“The bloodline of the descendants of light is not a bloodline in the traditional sense.

You can think of it as a special physique.

It does not rely on genetic inheritance, and any living thing has the potential to awaken this physique.

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility.

In fact, there are very few people who truly possess the bloodline of the Lightborn. According to my investigation, there are no more than ten such people on the entire Iron Rock Star."

Xiguang's voice was calm.

“Except for a very small number of innate awakeners, most of the Lightborn bloodlines are hidden in the host’s body, in a dormant state, no different from ordinary people.

Only through special methods of training the mind can it be stimulated."

Having said this, she paused.

“I have a top-notch method of tempering mental energy here, called Siphon.

Are you willing to learn?

As long as you awaken the bloodline of the Lightborn, your own strength will be greatly enhanced, and it will be easy to defeat your sister."

Zhao Yao's expression froze.

“How do you know…” Then he reacted with a grim look on his face.

"You can actually spy on my memory!"

Every life has an inviolable private area.

However, this thing could actually spy on his memory at will.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of rejection in his heart.

The moment his thought came to mind.

Another wave of electric shock came, causing Zhao Yao to roll his eyes and foam at the mouth.

Until he begs for mercy.

just stopped.

At this time, Xiguang began to explain.

"I didn't spy, it's just that you didn't hide your thoughts!

I am connected to your nerves, and some superficial thoughts can be easily captured.

However, if you learn the siphoning method of tempering your mental energy, you will be able to hide your thoughts, and I will no longer be able to spy on you.

I can only get the thoughts you want me to know."

Xiguang said lightly.

Zhao Yao fell silent.

In the current situation, it is obvious that he has no choice.

"Please teach me, Sister Xi!"

After a while.

The method of tempering mental energy called "Sucking the Rainbow" appeared in Zhao Yao's mind.

This also made Zhao Yao know what the mind energy tempering method was.

The thoughts of living things are often uncontrolled and keep jumping around.

This is especially true for humans. Some people with open minds have even more wild and imaginative ideas.

Move quickly from one thought to another.

This phenomenon is known in psychology as “mind wandering” or “mind wandering.”

However, most of the time.

These thoughts are of no use.

It will also distract people’s attention.

The method of tempering willpower is a practice that trains willpower to make it more concentrated and focused.

The siphon energy tempering method is unique, it can not only condense the energy.

You can also visualize the "coronal siphon".

A natural phenomenon of the sun - to absorb the light and thus strengthen the body and mind.

The uniqueness of this tempering method lies in that it can gradually awaken the light bloodline in the practitioner's body by absorbing light, causing his physical body to undergo a transformation and achieve the effect of awakening.

However, this method of tempering is not easy, and the practice process is extremely difficult.

It not only requires extremely strong willpower, but also requires the practitioner to have a deep understanding and perception of coronal siphoning.

It is almost impossible to master this method in a short period of time.

……

Cang Yan Star is the closest planet to the central sun among the twelve planets.

At this moment, a golden temple was suspended majestically above the sky, like a god overlooking the world.

At the top of the temple stands a huge cross.

Inside the hall, six figures stood there, each emitting a frightening aura, as if even the air was solidified under their pressure.

"I just got the news that Liuguang is dead, and the ship he was driving, the 'Dawn Blazing', exploded and was damaged, and the core has disappeared."

The one who spoke was a red-haired man in a white robe, holding a golden scepter with a dazzling gem inlaid on the top, emitting a soft light.

At this moment, a beam of light was condensed and projected in front, turning into a holographic image. The scene in it was exactly the scene of the three S-class abyss mechas fighting with the golden mecha.

At this moment, the red-haired man's tone was serious.

"…I don't need to say more about what this means."

The strange thing is that more than half of his body is almost transparent, as if it has merged with the surrounding air and is barely visible.

Not only him, but several other figures in the field also became more or less transparent, and their bodies emitted a faint golden light, as if they were gods descending to the earth.

"What a loser! He clearly has enough strength, but he killed himself. I really don't understand why the mecha spirit chose him."

The person who spoke was a young man with white eyes and white hair.

The young man stood between the intersection of light and shadow, his figure was blurry, as if he did not exist in this space at all.

"Okay, Bai Kong, what's the point of saying this now? The forbidden mecha spirits all choose their hosts on their own, and we can't interfere at all.

Now that the core of the Blazing Dawn has been lost, we must not let it fall into the hands of those bastards in the Council of Eternal Night.

The most urgent task is to send someone to find the core as soon as possible!"

Another figure said in a deep voice.

"In addition, there is one more thing that needs to be clarified - how many Eclipse Touches does the Eternal Night Council have, and where did they get them from?"

Hear the words.

Everyone fell silent.

The Touch of Eclipse, this power is the source of extinguishing the sun, its horror is self-evident.

If they don't figure it out, I'm afraid they will have trouble sleeping and eating.

after all.

No one wants to follow in Liu Guang's footsteps.

……

The day passed quickly.

In the evening, the family gathered together for a meal.

However, what surprised Zhao Ying was...

For some reason, Zhao Yao did not tell anyone what happened at noon.

When his father Zhao Tian asked why there were no leftovers, Zhao Yao simply said that he was too hungry and had eaten all the food and fooled him.

"Xiaoying, why do you feel like you've grown taller?"

At this time.

Mother Xu Yun picked up a piece of meat and put it on Zhao Ying's plate, and asked with concern.

“Maybe she’s still growing up!”

Hearing this, Zhao Ying paused while eating.

Then he looked the same as usual, ignoring the slightly strange look from Zhao Yao and spoke calmly.

……

Underground boxing ring.

The dim lights cast mottled shadows on the ring, and the shouts and whistles of the surrounding audience mixed into a noisy wave.

"Chimpanzee, tear him into pieces!"

"Where did you come from, you bitch? Go home and suck your milk! This is not the place for you!"

Someone screamed, causing laughter from everyone around.

"Tear her to pieces! Tear her to pieces!"

Uniform shouts gradually rang out from the audience, and their voices gathered into a wave, sweeping across the entire boxing ring!

On the ring, a figure stood quietly, wearing an expressionless white mask on his face.

Even with her bare hands, the woman was very strong.

But compared with the tall and burly cyborg opposite, who was more than two meters tall, she was still much smaller.

The chimpanzee was covered in heavy metal armor and stood there like an iron tower.

He lowered his head and looked down at the other person, who was only as tall as his chest, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"This is a battlefield for men, not a place for you to come. It's not too late to admit defeat now."

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, some people whistled, some shouted in agreement, and some even waved their gambling tickets.

"Why waste your time talking to her? Beat her up! Quickly!"

As spectators of underground boxing matches, they might be unknown workers in the downtown area during the day, or they might be well-dressed upper-class people sitting in their offices, elegant and decent.

And yet, here it is.

Amid dim lights and deafening shouts, they tore off the masks of daytime and released the madness and desires deep in their hearts.

They are no longer ordinary people bound by rules, but a group of wild beasts driven by primitive instincts, craving for the excitement brought by blood and violence.

They came here not only to watch a game, but also to witness the fragility and destruction of life.

Every heavy blow in the boxing ring and every drop of blood that splashes can ignite the fanaticism deep in their hearts.

Here, they are no longer the gears of the downtown area, but the masters of desire, venting the sin and greed that are suppressed in their daily lives with shouts and roars.

This is their paradise and also their hell.

But the figure on the ring seemed not to hear it all.

He just raised his head slightly, his eyes beneath the mask calm and peaceful.

"let's start!"

As the bell rang to signal the start of the game,

The cyborg named Black Chimpanzee rushed towards the masked woman with a grin, and his huge fist hit her face with a whistling sound.

His movements were swift and violent, as if he wanted to crush the masked woman with one punch.

"You can't blame me if you want to die!!"

However, just as the fist was about to touch her, it suddenly stopped.

The masked woman raised one hand and steadily blocked the blow that was powerful enough to shatter steel.

"what?!"

The chimpanzee's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at it in disbelief as his fist was firmly held down by the opponent's palm, unable to move forward at all.

The laughter in the audience stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a low exclamation.

"What the hell... Shit! Is this a fake match?"

The next second, the masked woman raised her hand and struck out suddenly, so fast that the movement was almost invisible.

Her arm pierced through the opponent's chest like lightning, and the metal surface of the body was as fragile as paper in front of her strength.

The palm penetrated straight into the chimpanzee's body, accurately grasped his rotating mechanical heart, and then pulled it suddenly.

The chimpanzee's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

Then, under his desperate gaze, a mechanical heart wrapped in wires and flashing blue light was pulled out.

Fingers tightened.

"Crack——!"

The sound of the mechanical heart exploding echoed in the ring, sparks flew, and the chimpanzee's body suddenly stiffened, then slowly fell to the ground.

His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

Then his body fell heavily with a dull thud.

Completely lost movement.

The entire boxing arena fell into silence in an instant.

The smiles on the audience's faces froze, the whistles stopped abruptly, and were replaced by countless pairs of wide-open eyes and slightly open mouths.

The drink cup in someone's hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of breaking, but no one cared.

"This...how is this possible?"

Someone murmured in a low voice, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"...He only used one strike. Is this guy still human?"

The other person swallowed and stared at the masked woman on the stage who remained calm.

Different from before.

Now, in their eyes, that figure was like a ferocious beast, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

The masked woman slowly retracted her fist, her arm covered in mechanical debris and electrical sparks, and she shook them off.

Turned around and walked off the stage.

behind her.

After a brief silence, the boxing ring became lively again.

Insults and curses came one after another, but intertwined with them was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

There is never a shortage of gamblers here, and those spectators who bet on the masked woman to win are now waving their betting tickets excitedly, with ecstasy written all over their faces.

Due to the extremely high odds, they made a fortune this time.

However, the audience who lost money had red eyes and stared at the corpse code-named "Chimpanzee" on the stage with gnashing teeth, wishing they could eat it alive.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they can digest the body that is made of 80% steel.
