Cyber ​​God: Abyss Walker

"What a monster..."

Wang Yu's expression was solemn as he ran faster. The Silent Cultivator, whose bio-enhanced abilities were far superior to his, simply carried Dorothy, who was much weaker, on his back and followed Wang Yu as they fled.

The three of them didn't know what this biomass tank made of flesh and blood was, but its destructive power and speed were beyond their ability to contend with for the time being. In any case, they should escape its pursuit first before considering the mission.

"My drone!"

Dorothy let out a mournful wail. These destroyed drones were all real currency! Although she was heartbroken, she continued to send drones toward the location of the biomass tank, letting it attack the drone swarm.

The firepower released by the biomass tank is too terrifying and difficult to dodge. Once the target is turned on the three people, even if it is not a direct hit, the aftershocks in the surrounding area could seriously injure them.

The drone hovered around the biomass tank, which was climbing and flying between buildings with its externally proliferating fleshy tentacles. It repeatedly launched feint attacks to lure the tank into firing its main cannon, which could fire at any angle due to the fleshy tissue filling it. Although it was almost impossible to dodge, the drone did slow down the biomass tank's pursuit at the cost of self-destruction.

The swarm of drones totaled around thirty, and ten were destroyed in a very short time. However, these drones were deliberately sacrificed by Dorothy to save the king; they were pure reconnaissance drones without any additional equipment. The remaining drones actually possessed a certain degree of offensive capability, such as the ability to self-destruct.

After yet another drone was destroyed and sacrificed, in the aftershocks of the explosion, a heavy drone, significantly larger than a regular drone, crashed directly into the biomass tank that was climbing on the surface of the building.

As it approached to a certain distance, the biomass tank, which was loading its main gun, suddenly swung its bladed tentacles that had grown from its surface, instantly splitting the heavy drone in two. Immediately, a violent explosion occurred at the point where the drone was broken and damaged.

"Bang!"

A burst of fire and impact erupted simultaneously as the self-destructing drone released all the explosives it had accumulated, unleashing tremendous destructive power at close range. The building walls were shattered, revealing the charred, mangled biomass flesh deep within. The biomass tank, unable to remain fixed to the wall, plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground.

"I couldn't take it down. I only had one self-destructing drone, which was extra powerful. Although the other drones were also equipped with weapons, their destructive power was less than one-fifth of the self-destruction power, so I don't think they could effectively damage that thing."

Despite the successful hit, Dorothy was not optimistic. After the smoke and debris cleared, the biomass tank with many of its external tentacles severed and its outer armor slightly grayish-black was revealed. Some fragments of flesh fell from the vehicle, clearly indicating that it had suffered effective damage.

However, as it peeled away some of the necrotic flesh, the biomass beneath the armor wriggled and churned. The damage and injuries that could have affected its movement were quickly replaced by the newly formed tissue. Although it was not as powerful as before, it temporarily replaced the original function without any problems.

The suicide drones are the most powerful offensive weapon Dorothy can muster; they can blast people or vehicles to smithereens. But they are still not enough against this outrageous bio-tank. If there were about ten suicide drones, they might be able to take it down, but right now, they are far from enough.

"At least we've temporarily shaken off its pursuit. Perhaps we can try to bypass it and reach that abnormal central area. It shouldn't have completely absorbed what the Tide Gang left behind. With the Silent Monk's abilities, there might really be a chance to complete the deployment silently."

The three huddled in the lobby of a tall building. The building blocked the view between the biomass tank and the three of them. The Silent Monk had already fully activated his ability. The power from eternal stillness almost completely concealed the three of them. Unlike when it was applied to the transport vehicle, the effect of this ability was greatly enhanced when it was applied to a concentrated human body.

This allows the three to calmly consider their next move before the Silent Monk runs out of power. At this distance, it shouldn't be too difficult for the Silent Monk to maintain his abilities, conduct some reconnaissance, and attempt to complete the mission...

"No! That thing knows our location. It's about to fire, so we're trying to find a way to evade it!"

Before he could finish his thoughts, Dorothy, who was using a drone to monitor the area, suddenly roared loudly. A strong sense of crisis swept over Wang Yu in an instant, his muscles tensed, and he raised his mechanical arm armor without hesitation to shield himself.

"Boom!"

The armor-piercing grenade easily penetrated the building's walls, carrying unimaginable destructive force as it hurtled towards the three people. Upon impact, it exploded instantly, unleashing a terrifying shockwave in all directions. Almost everything that had been simulated in the lobby was reduced to shreds, turning into countless flying debris.

"Huff, huff!"

Gasping for breath, still shaken, Wang Yu grabbed Dorothy beside him and sprinted away from the direction the shell had come from. It had been incredibly dangerous; they had almost all been killed by that one shell.

The stone slab in his hand turned into dust and scattered in the air. The usually expressionless and solemn face of the silent monk also showed a hint of tension. Just now, at the critical moment, he used the "protective barrier" of the admonition stone slab he obtained from the abnormal area of ​​the Stele Forest to construct an invisible force field and forcibly block that fatal cannon shot.

As Wang Yu ran, his thoughts raced. Why? Why was the Silent Monk's Silent Domain completely ineffective against the tank? How could it ignore the power of eternal stillness and pinpoint the three's location? Suddenly, he understood.

"This simulated city is a massive whole, and we are within it. The biomass tank is interconnected with this whole. The power of the Silent Monks constructs an unobservable area, which, from the perspective of the whole, is like a part of the body suddenly losing 'sensory awareness,' allowing it to naturally pinpoint the problem!"

He spoke up to remind the other two that because of the "insect web" created by the parasite swarm, Wang Yu's understanding of swarm mentality was deeper than theirs. After a brief moment of surprise, he figured out why the Silent Cultivator's abilities were ineffective.

"There's no point in you saying all this. The problem now is how to shake off this thing's pursuit. We can forget about the mission for now. At our current speed, we won't reach the delivery vehicle's location until I send all the drones to their deaths!"

Dorothy, who was being pulled along by Wang Yu, spoke up. She was now sending drones to be bombarded by biomass tanks again. Although every single one of these drones was a universal currency, they were meaningless if they were lost.

"Tsk..."

Wang Yu frowned. He had brought a lot of equipment, but none of it was of any use against this ridiculously powerful biological and mechanical hybrid. Basically, it would be blown to bits before it even got close, and even if it did get close, it was hard to say whether it could survive the biological tank's firepower other than its artillery fire.

"etc……"

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind: the biomass tank, for some reason, adopted the extremely outdated form of "tank" for this era, but it was actually a biomechanical hybrid composed of mechanical equipment left behind by the Tide Gang. Those mechanical parts were like prosthetics to flesh and blood, so these "prosthetics" could naturally be considered as technology.

"Silent Monk, is your ability effective on all products that can be classified as technology?"

Wang Yu urgently questioned the silent cultivator, whose ability to nullify the effects of technological creations had become a crucial element at this moment.

"That's right."

In a simple response, after Wang Yu asked the question, the Silent Monk immediately realized something. His ability could disable technology, so as long as he could get close to the biomass tank within a certain range, the enemy's artillery fire and any machine guns or missiles would be immediately rendered useless, just like a cybernetic engineer having their cybernetic body destroyed. The biomass tank would be severely weakened, if not crippled.

"But my abilities don't distinguish between friend and foe. Since we can't use technological creations, we also have no way to effectively damage that biomass tank, and its body without its mechanical parts is probably not weak either."

After realizing the feasibility of Wang Yu's plan, the Silent Monk broke his long-standing silence and confirmed the effective plan with Wang Yu within the limited time available.

"Leave the task of dealing it heavy damage to me. As long as we can break through its outer armor, we have a chance to deliver a fatal blow. As for your abilities, don't forget that you're not facing this thing alone. Watch my signal and activate your abilities at the designated time, and you won't have any trouble using the equipment."

After darting to the back of another building, Wang Yu put Dorothy down as he spoke. Since the opponent had no ability to fight head-on, it would be best to just provide support here.

"Understood."

The Silent Cultivator nodded. Yes, he could effectively cooperate as long as he released the Silent Domain when Wang Yu needed it. This plan was feasible.

"Pfft!"

Wang Yu used the blade attached to his arm armor to make a cut on his arm, and blood gushed out. He let it flow down his left arm.

His forearms and palms were almost completely stained red.

Blood Sea Ritual: Hungry Blood. This is what he intends to use. The important, or rather the core, component of that biomass tank is flesh and blood, so this ritual originating from the Blood Sea can cause sufficient damage to it.

"This admonition tablet will allow us to reach its vicinity. We originally intended to use it for escape, but let's use it here instead."

The Silent Monk took out a new tablet of advice. This tablet could allow beings within a certain range to traverse a distance in a specific direction, similar to phase shift, but almost instantaneously.

The two were about to set off, since the number of drones was not infinite and the time they could delay was ultimately limited, but Dorothy called them back at that moment.

"This sounds like a good plan. Here you go, a simple communication device made with resonance stones. Since it only utilizes the characteristics of products from the anomalous area, it's not exactly high technology and won't be affected by the Silent Zone."

"And during the process of having it shoot down drones, I scanned the interior of this biomass tank. Its mechanical parts are indeed similar to prosthetics. Although they provide additional reinforcements, once affected, they will cause damage to itself from the inside out that is extremely difficult to defend against."

A simple communication device, similar to an earpiece, was placed in the hands of Wang Yu and the Silent Monk. With this, it would be much easier for the two to communicate about switching on and off the Silent Domain.

The other item is a piece that looks like a large chip. If it can be activated at a certain depth inside the biomass tank, it can use a strong interfering current to produce an effect similar to hacking, which would not only disable the mechanical parts.

With the items given to him by Dorothy, Wang Yu began to silently chant incantations, while tossing a weapon that was significantly larger and more rugged than a gun to the Silent Monk.

"I'll hold off the first wave of attacks. You can take the opportunity to blast this equipment out. You can control when the silence field is deactivated."

"it is good."

With a simple response, the Silent Monk put the equipment Wang Yu had given him into his hands and used the admonition tablet.

In an instant, the two figures disappeared from their spot and reappeared around the biomass tank that was being entangled by drones. At this distance, the opponent's huge and ferocious body revealed an extremely terrifying and oppressive aura.

"Snapped!"

The Silent Monk clasped his hands together, and the Silent Domain spread out, rendering all technological products within its range ineffective. The biomass tank immediately sank, as if it had been pressed down and stuck for a moment.

Wang Yu then charged straight at the tank with his eyes closed. Only when he sensed that everything around him had slowed down did he open his eyes, which he had used to shield his vision and trigger the escapees.

A dozen bladed tentacles came rushing towards him, their angles tricky and their speed extremely fast, almost completely blocking Wang Yu's space to dodge. The moment the mechanical parts of this biomass tank were rendered ineffective, it launched a ferocious attack with its biomass parts, striking at Wang Yu, who was closest to it.

"Pfft, ding, ding, pfft!"

The nine-second slowdown gave Wang Yu enough time to plan. He couldn't block or dodge everything, but he could prepare for injury in advance and minimize the damage.

Wang Yu devised an odd-looking blocking stance, which was the optimal defensive posture he had planned. Attacks to his right shoulder and left ribs were guaranteed to hit; otherwise, they would either miss or be caught by his arm armor.

The metallic skin was easily torn apart by the bladed tentacles, blood splattered, and flesh was torn open. Wang Yu was also knocked back by the impact, but that was enough. His purpose was to attract attention and create an opportunity. The Silent Domain was removed at this moment, and the Silent Monk took the opportunity to rush to the side of the biomass tank and raised his weapon.

Explosive pile driver!

"Boom!"
