You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 23 Let's fix the machine while we're at it.
Ignoring the monster's psychological tactics, Li Zhe coldly pronounced its death sentence.

This monster is clearly trying to exploit humanity's moral constraints to buy itself time to develop.

It's gambling.

It was bet that Li Zhe wouldn't dare risk harming the host and launch a thunderous attack on it.

Unfortunately, it made the wrong bet.

Li Zhe possesses life experiences from two parallel worlds.

He has a standard of justice in his heart, but he will never be bound by outdated morality.

Saving lives is something we must do.

To eradicate evil, one must go to the extreme.

For him, the two are not contradictory!

Li Zhe's left hand, with its five fingers like iron clamps, pressed firmly on the driver's shoulder blade.

Secure its body firmly and keep it relatively still.

The detection module already had a perfect three-dimensional anatomical diagram of its body in its mind.

Li Zhe could clearly "see" that the monster's core, the size of a walnut, was now cowardly curled up behind the aortic arch.

Like the most despicable robber, he used the most vulnerable and complex structure of the human body as his shield.

But in the face of absolute strength and precision, any shield is useless!
The miniature high-frequency knife that Li Zhe flicked with his right index finger moved at that moment.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling light and shadow.

Only a fleeting glimmer of light, so fast that even its afterimage couldn't be caught, flashed by.

"puff--"

A very faint sound, like a needle piercing a bubble, rang out.

Li Zhe's fingertips, at an unbelievable angle, precisely pierced into the tiny gap between the driver's two ribs on his back.

The blade perfectly bypassed the dense network of blood vessels, the intricate network of nerves, the fragile lungs, and the beating heart.

Like a ghost wandering inside the human body...

Silent and unstoppable.

They arrived at the monster's core in an instant.

"Om-"

The power of high-frequency vibrations exploded inside the core!

The monster core, which was still fully absorbing the host's life force, was completely decomposed into the most primitive and basic particles in an instant, and vanished without a trace!
And all of this causes almost no physical damage to the host!

It creates a smaller wound than even the most advanced surgeons performing a minimally invasive surgery using a laser.

The moment the monster's core was destroyed, its combat power, which had painstakingly soared to 0.99, plummeted to zero.

The dark green viscous fluid inside the driver's body resembled a lifeless substance that had lost its source of life.

It quickly lost its activity and turned into clumps of harmless, grayish-green powder.

It was at the very last moment before the monster was completely dead.

It seemed to have used up its last strength in a final, desperate struggle.

A colorless and odorless powder suddenly sprayed out from the pilot's seven orifices, quickly filling the entire cabin.

This powder is the dormant spores released by parasitic worms at the end of their lives.

It has no parasitic ability or activity, but its strong paralyzing effect still exists.

For someone like Li Zhe, whose body is classified as a "mecha" by the system, this is a different story.

This level of biotoxin is no different from inhaling secondhand smoke.

It even felt a bit refreshing and invigorating.

But for ordinary passengers in the cabin who are mentally stressed and physically weak...

The effect of this stuff is comparable to that of a powerful anesthetic.

The moment the powder spread, the screams and cries that filled the cabin came to an abrupt halt.

All the passengers and crew members who were still awake, including Xia Lin, the flight attendant who had just been rescued by Li Zhe, seemed to have had their phones turned off.

Their heads lolled to the side, and they all fell into a deep coma.

The world fell completely silent at that moment.

"..."

Li Zhe glanced out of the cockpit, looking at the passengers scattered about, sleeping haphazardly...

His lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

Good grief, this monster even gave itself an assist before it died?
That's it, everyone has fainted.

He could handle the aftermath more calmly, saving himself the trouble of making excuses and putting on a show. He first quickly closed the cabin door, and then checked the passengers' vital signs.

After confirming that they were all just unconscious and not in any danger, I felt relieved.

That's when.

The [Bounty Board] icon on the system panel flashed once.

A notification popped up quietly.

[Bounty Completed: Successfully hunted down the Abyss Kin of Parasitic Worm (JSPAR-15014) lurking on Earth, Merit +1]

"Ok?"

Li Zhe was stunned for a moment.

He had only glanced at the bounty list before.

There are just too many goals to list; I don't have time to read them all.

Surprisingly, this peculiar little monster is also listed on the bounty board!
What an unexpected surprise!

Of course, the happy occasion should be put aside for now.

The most urgent task at hand is to save the plane, which is still falling.

Li Zhe's gaze swept over the chaotic, sparking control system.

The legendary detection module was operating at full capacity, processing massive amounts of data at lightning speed in the mind.

He quickly and accurately identified several key points of failure.

"piece of cake."

Li Zhe muttered something and switched to melee mode again.

In precision mode, this melee module far surpasses the multi-functional Swiss Army knife.

The right hand can unleash a Noble Phantasm against individuals.

His left hand is worthy of being called a master of machine repair!
It was accompanied by a faint mechanical deformation sound.

From the fingertips of his five fingers on his left hand, a series of incredibly precise tools emerged.

Then, the "physical repair" work began.

His movements were as fast as lightning, yet as steady as a rock.

As expected of a mecha system panel, it even pops up a professional maintenance guide to match the external environment.

These days, mech pilots are all out in space cleaning up dust and moving bricks. As a mech pilot, it's perfectly reasonable for me to master the skills of repairing airplanes.

With the help of the professional-grade maintenance prompts on the system panel, Li Zhe performed precise operations.

Cut the burned wires and re-solder them using a miniature soldering gun.

Using a clever flick of the wrist, the stuck switch was turned on, restarting the short-circuited core circuit board...

The whole process was done in one go.

If a top aerospace engineer were present at this moment and witnessed this scene, they would probably kneel down on the spot.

Shout out, "Our ancestral master has appeared!"
A few seconds later, most of the red alarm lights on the control panel went out.

The aircraft's autopilot system is slowly restarting.

However, it will take some more time.

While the plane's descent slowed, it did not completely stop.

Li Zhe quickly made a decision.

He plopped down in the driver's seat and put on a pair of gloves.

I took a deep breath and gripped the joystick tightly with both hands...

Next, engage your core muscles –

"Get up!"

He shouted loudly.

With its terrifying physical strength at a combat power of 2.0, it forcefully resisted the enormous inertia of the fall!
Squeak-!
The sturdy alloy joystick groaned under the immense force.

After the aircraft was thoroughly soaked in the monster's slime, its transmission and controls became somewhat unreliable...

This, however, made things easier for Li Zhe to do.

The massive passenger plane's downward trajectory was actually stabilized by brute force!
Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, the autonomous driving system restarted successfully.

With a pleasant electronic sound, the plane jolted violently...
