Cyber ​​God: Abyss Walker

The extremely thick steel nail, propelled by the force of the explosion at point-blank range, slammed into the weak point of the biomass tank chosen by the Silent Monk, violently tearing through the tough flesh that was utterly inadequate under the impact of this point-blank blast. The entire steel nail was firmly embedded in the biomass tank.

"Boom!"

The first stage of propulsion comes from the main body of the explosive pile driver in the hands of the Silent Monk, while the second stage of release comes from the trigger-activated explosive component inside the steel nail. It enters a ready-to-activate state the moment it senses that it has penetrated the outer shell of something, and after a short delay, it fully releases its destructive power, causing an implosion inside the biomass tank.

"Bang!"

As the Silent Monk activated the explosive pile driver, he was also blasted away by the terrifying recoil. His back slammed heavily against the wall of a nearby building, creating fine cracks. Fortunately, the Silent Monk's body had undergone comprehensive biological enhancement, so he did not suffer serious injuries.

Ultimately, the thing Wang Yu took out shouldn't have been intended for human use at all. To wield this thing effectively due to its recoil and weight, it would require at least a being with the physical capabilities of the MK2 body.

Wang Yu carried this equipment purely because he thought, "I may not be able to use it, but I absolutely cannot be without it." Who would have thought that he would actually be able to use it now?

However, on the other hand, this thing has an extremely high barrier to entry, but its power is just as high as its high barrier to entry. The explosive pile driver is a purely violent, destructive equipment designed solely for destruction. It is used to blast the target to pieces.

Most of the time, when hit by it, the power would be completely overflowing. Even when facing this extraordinary biomass tank, its performance did not disappoint Wang Yu.

As the deafening roar exploded inside the biomass tank, the vehicle, which had been moving continuously, came to an abrupt halt. The impact released from the inside out caused the flesh and blood distributed between the armor plates and the machinery to swell for a moment, and wisps of smoke spilled out from the huge, charred wounds inflicted by steel nails.

"Gurgle!"

With a loud thud as flesh writhed, large chunks of mangled, rotting flesh rolled out of the enormous, horrifying wound. The biomass tank, having taken the blast from the pile driver, was severely damaged, but it certainly couldn't be said to have been destroyed...

"Pfft!"

Fleshy tentacles grew from the surface of the vehicle and were flung out at an extremely high speed. The target was neither the Silent Monk who was struggling to get up nor Wang Yu who was taking this opportunity to quickly approach the wound, but the mimicry building next to him.

The blade pierced the hard wall, making contact with the flesh and biomass inside, and began to draw out the flesh and blood that had been blasted away by the previous attack. Visibly, the flesh and blood writhed along the tentacle and poured into the biomass tank's body. In a very short time, new flesh and blood began to sprout from the edges of the huge, charred wound.

"Hurry up!"

His expression hardened. This biomass tank was even more difficult to deal with than Wang Yu had imagined. This city, which was created from biomass, was like a giant medical kit that could be absorbed and used to recover at any time. As long as it was eliminated within its recovery period, this biomass tank would not die.

"The sea of ​​blood is boundless, devouring everything it touches..."

He chanted the incantation corresponding to the sea of ​​blood, and the bright red blood attached to his left arm visibly moved and gathered under the influence of the spreading power of the great being.

The "Hungry Blood" ritual has undergone a transformation after Wang Yu used the Inspiration Dice multiple times. Now, he no longer needs a human corpse to summon this thirsty, activated blood; he only needs to smear his own blood on his body.

As for the cost, it is that these activated bloods will attack Wang Yu himself first, no matter what the target is. At this moment, these bloods have already begun to gnaw at his skin and flesh, but the taste is probably not very good.

Metallization had already spread across Wang Yu's entire body. This abnormal contamination from another great being formed a temporary insulating coating. Although it could not stop the hungry blood from attacking Wang Yu, it could at least ensure that his arm would not be eaten away to the bone before it reached its target.

"That's not enough. We need to interrupt its self-repair process. Thankfully, we have this."

Thinking quickly in his mind, Wang Yu knew very well that starving flesh and blood would not be enough to kill this huge biomass tank while it was undergoing self-regeneration. He did not doubt the destructive power of the ritual corresponding to the sea of ​​blood on flesh and blood, but its duration was limited, and the biomass tank was too huge.

Therefore, to completely solve this problem, it is necessary to stop it from continuing to recover. The equipment provided by Dorothy can accomplish this task. Once the targeted high current is activated, it will cause all the mechanical components inside the biomass tank to fail, just like a malfunctioning implanted prosthetic body, causing a huge impact on itself and interrupting the self-healing process. That's enough!

"Buzz!"

With the mechanical power-assisted arm armor on his arms fully activated, the plasma convergence blades on his palms extended into two pairs of light blade gloves resembling beast claws. Driven by Wang Yu, the claws crossed and tore through the hole blasted out by the explosive pile driver.

"Pfft!"

The flesh was charred and the metal was melted. Wang Yu never needed to worry about the destructive power of the plasma converging blade. The close-range cutting, risking being flattened, instantly enlarged the wound that had already begun to heal at a visible speed, rendering the part that had just recovered completely useless.

Wang Yu raised his hand, grasping the equipment given to him by Dorothy. He planned to shove this item as deep as possible into the biomass tank, wait for it to trigger, and then guide the ravenous blood—which had already pierced the metallic outer layer and was now painfully devouring its own flesh—into the biomass tank's body. Then…

"Sizzle!"

"Huh?!"

Before his thoughts could fully process, just as Wang Yu was about to throw the object in his hand, a violent and powerful electric current, too strong for a human body to withstand, surged from his arm throughout his entire body. In an instant, Wang Yu felt all his muscles go out of control, his senses briefly shut down, and everything went white before his eyes, with thin black smoke slowly rising.

"What happened? Why? Now, electric shock, that's it!"

Completely unable to comprehend why the electric shock was targeting him at this moment, Wang Yu's thoughts nearly came to a standstill due to the sudden burst of current. He could only intermittently utter a few words of shock and confusion in his mind, but one thing he was very clear about was that it was all over, all of them were fucking dead.

"boom!"

The biomass tank didn't care why this "good thing" that was approaching it suddenly stopped. After repairing itself to a certain extent, it directly and without hesitation raised its body and smashed down on Wang Yu, using the hole in the wound to "swallow" him into its body.

The Silent Monk, who was also equipped with the gear given to him by Dorothy, could not have foreseen what was happening at this moment, as violent electric currents simultaneously coursed through his body.

Having just gotten up, although he was physically stronger than Wang Yu, he could only kneel on the ground helplessly in the face of this powerful electric current attack targeting the mechanical class, watching as the biomass tank "flattened" Wang Yu.

"..."

His mouth opened as if to say something, but under the continuous electric current, it became impossible. In front of him, the tank that had swallowed Wang Yu's body rammed into the Silent Monk who was unable to move. Just like the other party had done to him before, this tank launched a full-scale attack on the Silent Monk.

"Bang!"

"puff!"

Wang Yu crashed into the building's wall with the body of the Silent Monk. Both Wang Yu and the Silent Monk were already dancing on the edge of a knife, and the only reason they had survived was that they hadn't been hit head-on. Now, with no way to dodge the impact, how could he possibly withstand it?

The deafening roar of the impact and the horrifying sound of bones and blood exploding rang out simultaneously. As the biomass tank slowly retreated, all that remained at the site of the impact was a pile of rotten, bright red flesh and bone remains.

"Phew, that went smoothly enough. What exactly is this thing? Luckily, I'm completely incompetent as a sorcerer, which is why it ignored me. Feed the mercenary 'Ultraman' to the derivative near the Well of Flesh and Blood. Mission accomplished. With that, the Tide Gang's reward is in my hands."

In the distance, Dorothy, who had been observing and controlling everything from the drone's perspective, breathed a sigh of relief and a pleasant smile appeared on her face. If she had a choice, she probably wouldn't be happy to be this traitor. After all, her cooperation with Wang Yu and the Silent Monk had been quite pleasant, and she didn't need to do this.

However, the reward offered by the Tide Gang was far too generous—200 million universal currency. She didn't know how long it would take her to save up that much money, so she had no choice but to accept becoming the traitor in this mission.

"What exactly is the Tide Gang trying to do? What's the point of feeding 'Ultraman,' a mercenary from the Star Ring, to that mechanical-biological hybrid? Forget it, it's none of my business. As an 'unqualified' sorcerer, that thing won't be interested in me. So, I'd better get out of here."

Dorothy muttered to herself, appearing quite excited, after all, she, who cared extremely much about money, was about to receive a very generous reward.

Dorothy, who accepted the mission as a traitor, knew far more about the situation than Wang Yu and the Silent Monk, such as the biomass tank's "target-locking mechanism" and how the deeper one came into contact with the Great Being and the abnormal pollution, the more likely one would become a target of the biomass tank.

As a sorcerer, Dorothy belongs to the group of people who have very little contact with great beings and abnormal pollution. Therefore, even if she leaves now, she will not be attacked. On the other hand, from the moment he was discovered by that biomass tank, Wang Yu could not be abandoned.

……

The scene shifts back to the moment when Wang Yu and his two companions set off for the wasteland. The leader of the Tide Gang and his uncle, who was in the co-pilot's seat, were talking about the wasteland.

"Oh, so you put the parasite in his brain into hibernation to block his ability to read other people's simple emotions?"

The chief asked his uncle with great interest.

"Yes, my eyes, which have been taken away, actually allow me to see more on another level, not just a little, but a lot. Number 318 is special, both in himself and in the parasite in his brain."

"Although I don't know how he managed to get so close to those great beings and anomalous contamination, he's pretty much there now. If I gave him more time, he wouldn't be any more suitable to be that material; instead, he would die under the influence of those great beings."

"The parasite in his mind is very active, and it even subtly tries to spy on my consciousness. Although it is ineffective against me, it is perfectly capable of being used on that unqualified sorcerer in their team who plays with machines. If Number 318 discovers the traitor in his team in advance, he may choose to fight to the death or abandon the mission directly, which would be troublesome."

The uncle explained his reasons for doing these things in a calm manner. He did not have the eyesight of a normal person, but because of this, he could see many special things. He could roughly detect Wang Yu's abnormality by simply "guessing" it, and it was quite simple to take precautions in advance.

"You've thought of everything more thoroughly. In a while, we can send some of our members over there to check on the situation. I have to say we're incredibly lucky to have discovered such a special anomaly zone. The great being that corresponds to it must also be a strange one."

He nodded in understanding. Indeed, the leader of the Hai Chao Gang never needed to worry about the decisions his uncle made. The other party's meticulousness was difficult to describe accurately in words.

"This is probably the most unique anomalous zone I've ever seen. Only such a unique anomalous zone and that strange, great being could possibly achieve our goal of creating a 'safe zone' in the wasteland."

"It devours other great beings and sorcerers who have had deep contact with anomalies, then mimics them based on their memories, and constantly expands the scope of its own anomalies. I still can't understand what this great being is trying to do."

"But the great beings themselves are beyond prediction and cannot be comprehended. At least one thing is certain: by regularly providing them with these 'qualified' beings, a 'safe zone' in some sense can be created."

"All great beings follow an unbroken rule: the anomalous zones are absolutely separate, and the powers of different great beings are mutually exclusive. No two great beings can coexist in the same anomalous zone. That is, even if an anomalous zone appears to have more than two anomalous properties, it cannot be born from the influence of two great beings at the same time."

"So, as long as we find an anomalous area that poses no harm to humans, we can create a 'safe zone' in the wasteland. The Well of Flesh and Blood is such an existence, and Number 318, as a qualified sacrifice, will create an unprecedented new 'safe zone' for the Tide Gang in the wasteland."

Uncle looked towards the wasteland; the mobile city had long since vanished, and his plan was proceeding almost perfectly.
