Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 425 Your Lord
Gu Zheng is only in his early thirties. If you didn't know, no one would know that he was once a top student majoring in environmental protection at a well-known university. Before the Apocalypse, he was a rather persistent environmentalist, forming a grassroots environmental organization, promoting green concepts and renewable energy, and even having a popular social media account. Who would have thought that in less than a year, his role would become one of the four famous heroes of the Holy City organization, searching for superhumans everywhere and doing so-called 'purification' work.

Lin Xian responded after hearing the other person's words.
"If you are so confident in crystallization, why go through such a big undertaking?"

Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xian and suddenly laughed wickedly: "Hahaha, brother, you don't actually think you're that important, some kind of savior, do you...?"

He suppressed his smile and said to Lin Xian in a playful tone.
"I feel some sympathy for you, you, the Phoenix Order, and those survivor organizations. You know nothing about the Abyss, about the darkness, about the future. One day you will understand that your weapons, your resistance against the supernatural powers that humanity has acquired beyond civilization, are all meaningless to the civilization of our Lord..."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, but he didn't reveal his expression beneath his power armor shield. Instead, he coldly replied...
"The actions you take make your argument sound completely unconvincing."

"is it?"

Gu Zhengzheng suppressed his smile, his expression turning serious and sharp. A condensed resonance ripple appeared in his palm as he spoke in a tone that sounded like he was talking to himself.

"It's better to die with hope than to have your faith collapse in the face of despair after deceiving yourself."

"Lin Xian." At this moment, KIKI also flew over, and the two of them surrounded Gu Zheng in a pincer movement. KIKI saw the power fluctuations on Gu Zheng's body and reminded Lin Xian, "Be careful, this guy's peak fluctuation is at least 8000. If he completes crystallization, it may reach the level of 16000. Should we capture him alive?"

Lin Xian looked at Gu Zheng, his expression slightly narrowed. On other battlefields in the distance, Monica, Ning Jing, and Qian Dele's team were engaged in fierce fighting. Several of the enemy's experts were ruthless individuals with crystallization abilities, making them difficult to deal with. Now that nightfall was approaching, the enemy's crystallization power was constantly attracting a large number of strange entities. Lin Xian had to finish the battle quickly and find a way to locate the person who had escaped, otherwise they would definitely not have an easy time after dark.

"Ha, wishful thinking." At this moment, Gu Zheng's eyes shone with a powerful supernatural light, and his whole body floated into the air, emitting a large number of square shockwave ripples, which looked extremely strange.

hum!
An extremely powerful surge of energy emanated from him, gradually expanding to an astonishing degree. Shiori, watching from afar, couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief and hurriedly said to Lin Xian...

"Lin Xian's aura has doubled, making him even stronger than KIKI!"

"I know."

Lin Xian responded calmly, his gaze constantly observing Gu Zheng.

"Does your Holy City Organization have any connection with the SIID Foundation?"

Just as Gu Zheng released his crystallization power, Lin Xian suddenly asked him a question.

Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xian with a cold smile, as if he were looking at a clown.

"Are you also wondering what the Lord's plan is?"

Lin Xian nodded and replied very seriously, "Who is the master you are talking about? Do you have any connection with the Dark Civilization and the beings in the Star Abyss?"

"Humph!"

Faced with Lin Xian's question, Gu Zheng felt somewhat bewildered. In an instant, his power had surged, and the huge dark energy fluctuations began to attract the attention of the strange entities. For a moment, the sky around the street seemed to darken, and countless eerie roars began to rush in.

"Humanity's sword-bearers are such fools; it would be a miracle if they didn't perish!"

Gu Zheng shook his head, let out a cold shout, and then disappeared from his spot at an astonishing speed that was difficult for the naked eye to detect. A huge shockwave instantly erupted from the ruins of the building, and before the shockwave had even subsided, he had already appeared in front of Lin Xian, raising his hand towards Lin Xian's face.

"Goodbye, Swordholder. Go and ask the Lord. Oh no, the Lord's civilization has no religious doctrines. You will not have another chance."

After speaking, the vibrational ripples in his palm instantly expanded dozens of times, turning into a dark purple transparent square air wall that directly covered Lin Xian's entire body, and a destructive power suddenly erupted.

At that very moment, Lin Xian, still focused on Gu Zheng's face, loudly questioned him.
"So you did indeed come into contact with the dark civilization, right? You were communicating with the darkness?!"

"Idiot!" Gu Zheng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he launched a destructive power attack.

boom!
The square impact area created by his shockwave created a huge vacuum in the air, and the huge recoil force generated an explosive blast that shot out over an area of ​​several kilometers!
Just when Gu Zheng thought that his full-force attack after crystallization would completely annihilate Lin Xian, three hollow energy sounds exploded in his ears in the next instant.

Buzz!
Lin Xian, who had been completely annihilated by the shockwave, appeared before Gu Zheng like a ghost. Behind him, three giant superstring reactor phase rings lit up layer by layer. The energy lines all over Lin Xian's nano-powered armor burst with intense light. In Gu Zheng's eyes, Lin Xian's peak ability value directly increased from 12000 to a terrifying 18000, then soared to over 20000, and then reached a level that Gu Zheng could not sense at all. This sudden change made Gu Zheng's pupils shrink. Then, Lin Xian grabbed forward, and countless mechanical tentacles shot out, instantly grabbing Gu Zheng and lifting him up. A mechanical energy cannon directly pierced through his heart. Then, Lin Xian pressed a strange device onto Gu Zheng's head with extremely fast speed.

Mycelial Brain-Machine Device!

Strictly speaking, brain-computer interfaces cannot ideally extract information from the human brain. Uploading digital consciousness requires a considerable amount of time to compile the consciousness signals. However, mycelium can enable the exchange of consciousness between individuals. Therefore, Lin just raised several key questions to trigger memory exploration. In this way, even if Gu Zheng is killed, he can quickly capture information fragments and obtain useful information when forcibly conducting digital consciousness exploration.

"you!"

Gu Zheng was completely unprepared. His power peak of nearly 16000 after crystallization was instantly killed by Lin Xian. Although they had already done a lot of analysis on the strength of the Swordholder, the data they had obtained showed that Lin Xian's power peak was only around 7000. In Xilan City and Dawn City, this mechanical ability user relied on armored forces such as Unit-01 and the Gray Mist Messenger to gain the initiative on the battlefield. They had no idea that Lin Xian's individual combat strength actually exceeded 20,000!

Upon seeing the brain-computer interface device that Lin Xian had produced, as a senior member of the Holy City, he immediately understood the other party's intentions. His face paled, and he gritted his teeth, coldly shouting, "Don't even think about it!"

In an instant, after realizing his defeat and the opponent's methods, Gu Zheng's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and within seconds, countless black blood vessels appeared in his eyes.

Lin Xian frowned sharply upon seeing this, because he immediately sensed a strong dark fluctuation devouring Gu Zheng's consciousness.

"He's undergoing a deliberate mutation!" KIKI exclaimed as she rushed over.

"I know, help me control him!" Lin Xian immediately took Gu Zheng and flew directly to the rooftop where Shiori was. He put him on the ground and shouted to Shiori, "Shiori, use your powers on me with all your might."

KIKI guessed Lin Xian's move and immediately said, "Lin Xian, this is too dangerous."

"I just need a little time." Lin Xian manipulated the mechanical device to completely seal Gu Zheng, saying, "If we don't get something, we're in big trouble tonight!"

Not only about the news about the Adventists, Lin Xian also wanted to know what they had deployed on the island. This was the key at the moment. Otherwise, he felt that Sea Rock Island was like a fog, surrounded by monsters and he still didn't know what was going on.

Therefore, Lin Xian instructed KIKI to control Gu Zheng and Shiori to use her special abilities on him, while he directly used Shinji Mochizuki's special brain-computer interface to begin invading Gu Zheng's mind after he lost his mental power.

KIKI looked extremely nervous. She kept glancing at Lin Xian and then at Gu Zheng, who was moving quickly away. She was trying to suppress Gu Zheng with her mental power, but she was afraid of crushing him to death. She was very anxious.

This was the first time she had witnessed the transformation process of a superhuman. At this moment, Gu Zheng was breathing heavily, his consciousness was fading, but his life had not yet ended. The blood-red crystal on his chest suddenly reversed, and dark red energy spread from his heart to his whole body like tree root-like blood vessels. A large number of black lines began to cover his skin, and it was clear that the skin of a normal human was beginning to turn into a bluish-white, rotten color like that of a zombie.

"Die...you all have to die!" Gu Zheng roared in his throat, but his voice gradually became indistinct until only his gasping breaths remained. Strange creatures seemed to surge beneath his skin, causing his face to swell and twist. Large swaths of his hair began to fall out, his spine cracked and stretched, his shoulder blades pierced his skin to form rudimentary bone wings, his finger bones grew into half-meter-long black bone spurs, and sharp claws began to appear.

All of this happened in less than ten minutes.

"He... he has such a high level of Dark Invasion Toxin in his body." Shiori said nervously, as she continuously used her supernatural power to suppress Lin Xian's invaded consciousness.

Seeing this, KIKI anxiously called out to Lin Xian.

"Lin Xian! Is he done yet? He's about to turn into a human-monster!!!"

Uh!! Uh!!
Gu Zheng's face was twisted to a state more terrifying than a zombie's, his pale eyeballs sunken deep, and the deformation of his spine caused his body to grow longer. A large amount of keratin grew on his skull, and a putrid smell spread rapidly. KIKI and Shiori could already feel the intense toxins emanating from this thing.

The most terrifying thing was that during Gu Zheng's struggle, the power of the shockwaves manifested violently on his body. As the intensity of his struggle increased, the mechanical arm that Lin Xian used to restrain him began to crack. Even KIKI's psychic power was impacted by that shockwave ability, making her feel an incomparably powerful impact.

"After it mutated, its powers became uncontrollable, and I might not be able to catch it."

KIKI then looked at Shiori and said, "If it breaks free later, I will sever Lin Xian's consciousness link. You take Lin Xian away from here first, and I will stop this guy."

Shiori nodded and then immediately shook her head, saying to KIKI, "It... its energy fluctuations are so strong, almost reaching the spirit-dispelling value of a special-level supernatural entity. Can you stop it?"

"Get Lin Xian away first, and if that doesn't work, call for reinforcements." KIKI looked at the explosion ripples in the distance. "The others should be mostly dealt with by now."

Uh! Uh!
Gu Zheng had now transformed into a three-meter-long giant, his entire body deathly pale, his face hideous, and his abdomen split open to form a second gigantic maw, making him look incredibly bizarre. Even large areas of his skin had peeled off, releasing bursts of black smoke. The dark purple shockwaves began to spray out uncontrollably in all directions. Gu Zheng's mutated human-like form began to break free and launch an attack on KIKI and Shiori.

"It can't be suppressed anymore!"

KIKI gritted her teeth, exchanged a glance with Shiori, and then seized the opportunity to raise her left hand and directly sever the brain-computer interface between Lin Xian and Gu Zheng. Using her telekinesis, she grabbed Lin Xian and Shiori and pushed them away. With a bang, the two flew backward instantly. At the same time, the tall, humanoid monster also broke free from the mechanical device. Under the suppression of KIKI's powerful telekinesis, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw towards her, and a dark purple beam of shockwave appeared in its mouth.

Upon seeing this, KIKI immediately dodged away. In the next instant, a beam of light that dimmed the surrounding light shot out and soared into the sky. The huge shockwave swept away the low-lying clouds, and the resulting air currents caused all the windows of the buildings in the entire block to shatter!
boom!
Wow, that's amazing!

KIKI narrowly dodged and couldn't help but complain. If she had been hit, even with Lin Xian's specially made power armor and her psychic shield, she would probably have been instantly pierced. This crystallized superhuman was even more terrifying than a monster after the mutation. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't gotten up yet, KIKI directly suppressed him with her psychic power with one hand and manipulated the VK electric knife with the other, which descended from the sky like a torrent, directly piercing the human monster's heart with a thousand arrows!

Wow!

The torrent of metal, like a torrential downpour, carried KIKI's powerful psychic energy and pierced down at supersonic speed. The monster also sensed the threat and, lying on the rooftop, opened its mandibles and a second giant mouth on its abdomen. Square shockwaves rose and expanded in layers, as if forming a force field shield in front of it, blocking KIKI's torrent of electric blades.

Upon seeing this, KIKI let out a cold shout and pinched her fingertips, intending to use her telekinetic power to snap the ghost's neck. With a snap, the ghost's neck was instantly flipped 180 degrees. However, the ghost then braced itself against the ground, not only surviving but also attempting to forcefully get up.

At this moment, KIKI finally felt the oppressive feeling brought by the peak of the supernatural power far exceeding her own. This was the first time that she was unable to suppress the human-demon with her psychic power except for those large monsters. She was somewhat unconvinced and raised both hands to press down, trying to suppress it back with all her might. But at this moment, the human-demon had already detected her location, and several fleshy tentacles appeared out of thin air on its body. All of those fleshy tentacles lit up with tiny shock waves and instantly fired shock lines like laser beams at KIKI.

KIKI was startled, not expecting the monster to use such methods. She immediately tried to dodge, but a shock ray still pierced through her power armor's shoulder blade, causing her to lose control of her psychic powers in pain. Then, the monster broke free of its restraints, kicked up a cloud of dust, and quickly disappeared into the ruins of a building.

Upon seeing this, KIKI immediately prepared to search for it. It seemed that her shoulder had only been slightly scraped, and fortunately the injury was not serious. However, she already felt a great sense of threat.

"Where did you run off to? Damn it, if I could also undergo crystal lattice evolution, I wouldn't be afraid of you monsters."

hum!
Just as KIKI was rapidly pursuing the target, she keenly detected an extremely dangerous energy fluctuation. KIKI reacted quickly, using a telekinetic wave in mid-air to launch herself in a zigzag motion like a cannonball.

call out!
In the next instant, a massive shock ray, as thick as a bucket, shot out from a low building below. It was so powerful that it scorched the air and pierced right through the spot where KIKI had just been standing.

"Got you!"

KIKI spotted the source of the shockwave and guided the torrent of electric blades to pour out. Suddenly, her expression changed as she sensed something amiss. She turned around and grabbed at the eerie figure that had appeared behind her, ready to unleash the shockwave.

The death ray was forcibly diverted, dangerously grazing right in front of KIKI's face. KIKI remained calm and dodged the dangerous attack. She then grabbed the monster in mid-air and immediately concentrated all her mental power, crushing it without letting it escape.

With a whoosh, in an instant, the violent, invisible mental force, like a collapsing gravitational force, instantly crushed the human ghost into a ball. Just as it was about to burst, the human ghost sensed the danger and suddenly protrusions appeared all over its body, dark energy erupted, and it prepared to release shockwaves in all directions!
Empty!
Seeing this, KIKI frowned. She was in a position where she could not avoid it, so she could only grit her teeth and let her eyes flash with supernatural light, preparing to crush it into a meatball as quickly as possible.

But as the dark purple ripples gradually brightened, it seemed that it was getting too late.

At this critical moment, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and in the sky, a blazing white sword that annihilated all light suddenly pierced through the clouds and slashed down!

"Godly Infinite Blazing Sword!!"

boom!
Lu Xingchen descended from the sky, carrying the might of the God of Fire, and instantly engulfed the monster with a temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius.

"What kind of evil spirit are you? Before me, why don't you obediently offer your neck for slaughter!"

Fire Brother's infinite ring spun rapidly, and his supernatural power peaked to its limit, directly shattering the strange man's shockwave. At that moment, a strange figure shot out from the sky and fled.

This strange person seemed to be conscious; after being injured by KIKI and Brother Huo, he actually tried to run away.

"Strange, how could the Human Demon run away?!" Brother Huo put away his Blazing Flame Sword and landed next to KIKI, unable to help but ask in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't let it get away!" KIKI glanced at him and immediately activated her power armor to accelerate forward, chasing after it with a torrent of electric blades.

At this moment, Monica, Ning Jing, and Qian Dele's team all rushed over. Seeing this scene, they were all ready to surround and deal with the strange man.

The man was incredibly fast, leaping through the air and landing on the street rooftops. He then unleashed a shockwave and sped directly toward the distant coastline. But just as he leaped into the air, a giant mechanical fist suddenly descended from the sky!

The remains of Xuanwu!

High above Haiyan City, a deep blue mechanical giant arm swung down with a roar, like a mechanical spectacle in the sky, directly slamming Gu Zheng, whose energy had surged after crystallization, into the ground with explosive momentum.

boom!
The man was like a cannonball being fired, his fist slamming into the ground, his torso disintegrating and shattering in mid-air!
