Cyber ​​God: Abyss Walker

"Cough cough, this body is really durable now. It won't take long to recover. It's just that this prosthetic arm has to be repaired again after only a short time since it was installed. It's quite troublesome."

He struggled to climb into the shop and used a second protective door to replace the first gate that Hercules had destroyed, separating the shop from the outside world. Although he didn't understand why the mecha had suddenly attacked him, being "examined" like this basically cleared him of all suspicion.

Looking at the MK3 shell sitting quietly in the corner of the shop, Lingqi and her chip were located inside. Hercules's inspection had not found her. So, it seems that the method Lingqi obtained from the group of "comrades" behind the Black Gate is indeed feasible. Perhaps she could consider paying them a visit later?

"Let's put it off for later. Let me see. Fortunately, although it's a bit difficult for me, I learned a little from Lena. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to perform a simple surgery on myself."

Wang Yu intended to activate the MK3 shell now to remind Zero Seven to recover from the state of being cut off from the Origin Sea, but after a moment's thought, he still struggled to stand up and walked towards the operating room used by Lena.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to patch up the hole in his head first, then send the MK3 body and the chip inside Zero Seven back to the kennel before waking the other person up.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

He was far from being proficient at operating the robotic arm on the operating table to connect the auxiliary chip in his head, which was not yet fully connected. He accurately implanted it into its original position and guided the nerve connection. Then, with this mimicry body, Wang Yu was able to spontaneously complete the connection with the auxiliary chip.

"Click-clack..."

He placed the skull fragment he had just picked up back into the hole in his head, applied biomass repair fluid between the bones and flesh to disinfect and protect the bone fragment, ensuring that the body fragment that had been outside for a while could be successfully reattached to his body.

The itching sensation from the wound told Wang Yu that the body made of mimicking flesh and blood had begun to repair and heal itself. Putting aside everything else, his current self-healing ability was truly beyond the limits of humanity. The self-healing ability derived from that mimicry was quite exaggerated.

"Forget it, let's not use dice. This way, we can put the skull back together without having to grow another piece, so we don't need to use physical constitution to speed up the healing process."

After muttering to himself, Wang Yu leaned back on the operating table, took a few more breaths, and felt the broken bones inside his body being wrapped by muscles, automatically correcting their misalignment through subtle adjustments of force.

As the weakness gradually subsided, he slowly regained his ability to move normally. Although he estimated that some of his bones had grown crooked again and needed Lena's help to adjust them, at least he could do some less strenuous movements without any problems.

There's nothing we can do about that.

Lifting up the less responsive prosthetic arm, the surface of the metal prosthetic hand showed multiple twists and deformations, with faint sparks of electricity dancing at the joints. It could still be driven with difficulty, but the impact was significant.

"Unfortunately, the amount of abnormal pollution in the Mechanical Sea is indeed insufficient, and even with the mixed abnormal pollution, it is still not enough to transform this mechanical arm into a mechanical organism. At present, it is only enough to transform some mechanical spiders."

He sighed with some regret. If the abnormal pollution of the mechanical sea were sufficient, he would try to transform his mechanical prosthetic body into a mechanical life form. Mechanical life forms have an absolute advantage that normal machines do not possess, namely, the ability to self-repair.

In reality, even after he had almost exhausted the abnormal pollution of the mechanical sea within his body, he had only managed to transform one mechanical spider into a mechanical life form. His previous claim to Zero Seven that he would transform all mechanical spiders into mechanical life forms was utter nonsense.

"Why are you causing such severe pollution and waste of resources?"

Wang Yu raised his finger and poked the bio-mechanical spider on his shoulder. It raised its limbs, seemingly confused. It probably didn't understand what Wang Yu was talking about at all. It was just a small spider without a head, so how could it understand abnormal pollution?

However, this bio-mechanical spider seemed to be able to inexplicably understand some of Wang Yu's commands, which was enough.

"Let's go to the kennel first. The facilities there are much better. Let's wake Lingqi up and then discuss how to proceed."

Lifting the heavy MK3 body, Ling Qi's body, which was a bit difficult for Wang Yu to lift before, was now easy for him to move.

After placing the MK3 shell on the back seat, Wang Yu mounted the motorcycle and sped back to the kennel with the bio-mechanical spider and Zero Seven. No one from the Tribunal or the Heavenly Axis stopped him along the way. Once he left the patrolled area, there shouldn't be any problems.

Let's not even talk about those who try to escape without inspection; kill them all before inspecting them. Underestimating the power of the Tribunal and the giant corporation is meaningless.

"Click."

Carrying the MK3 shell, I walked to the door. The studio door opened automatically, revealing Reina waiting behind it. Even her usually expressionless face showed a slight smile.

"Did it work?"

"Well, we managed to get away with it using the method Lingqi got."

Bringing the MK3 body into the room and placing it on a chair next to the worktable, Wang Yu sat down beside it, feeling somewhat exhausted. With the biggest crisis over, the huge weight on his heart finally lifted, but he also felt physically and mentally drained.

Are you injured?

Lena glanced at the scattered bloodstains and bodily fluids on Wang Yu's torn clothes and said.

"Yes, but it's not a big problem. Apart from the auxiliary chip not being fully connected yet, the rest can be ignored by my body's self-healing ability."

Wang Yu nodded, confirming his current situation.

"Let me connect it for you."

Walking behind Wang Yu, Lena extended tentacles from under his clothes, touched Wang Yu's head, and began to further process the auxiliary chip that Wang Yu had roughly connected.

"Thank you, it's time to wake Lingqi up."

Lena was allowed to manipulate her own brain, and the functions of the assist chip gradually reappeared in her field of vision.

Wang Yu raised his hand and placed it on the forehead of the MK3 body. His mental power emanated from his body and gently touched the mobile phone inside the MK3 body, as well as the Zero Seven chip inside the phone. This was the method of awakening that the two had agreed upon.

The current gradually increased, and the dormant MK3 body began to move. Ling Qi opened her eyes, looked at Wang Yu who was smiling in front of her, and asked a question.

"Did we succeed?"

"Of course, it seems the method you got from those beings behind the Black Gate worked very well. The people from the Sky Axis Group didn't find anything wrong, they just beat me up because I had contact with the Mechanical Sea's abnormal pollution. Oh well, let them beat me up, as long as it's successful..."

Wang Yu answered Ling Qi's question naturally, telling her with a smile what he had just experienced. He said it was just getting beaten up, nothing serious. But just as he was about to summarize, his ability called "Escapee" suddenly activated.

"Time break!"

A sound that Wang Yu could not hear rang out, and the special device inside the Ares Armor was activated instantly. The surrounding objects, which had been moving on their own, began to move around the mecha that emitted a bright blue light.

Everything was slowed down: the walls were smashed to pieces, the arcs of electricity exploded as the lines were cut, and dust filled the air... except for Ares, who broke into the studio, and Wang Yu, who activated his escape ability.

"Hold!"

In his shock and anger, Wang Yu realized that something was wrong with his surroundings. This time, when the Escaper ability was activated, his speed did not seem to slow down. Instead, while everything around him slowed down, he was able to move at a normal speed that could be described as "divine speed".

Of course, it was precisely because of this that he was able to spot the azure mech that crashed into the studio when he shouldn't have been able to react in the first place. The conspicuous celestial axis symbol on it made Wang Yu's emotions explode, and he realized that no matter which link had gone wrong, Zero Seven's existence had inevitably been exposed.

In comparison, while Ares' speed could be considered fast compared to the surrounding environment, it was still no match for Wang Yu, whose escape abilities had undergone a transformation at this moment.

Clenching his teeth, Wang Yu didn't have time to think about why his escape ability had mutated. He just turned around with all his might, grabbed Reina who was unable to react and was trapped in time slowing down, and threw her into the room in the workshop that was specially used for refuge.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The nine-second escape ability was fleeting. Lena's rather light body crashed into the shelter. The heavy gate automatically locked after detecting someone entering, sheltering the person inside in the sturdy barrier.

As for the MK3 shell, nine seconds was still too short. Wang Yu was too weak to do anything else. He was also too weak to throw the metal shell. He could only use his own body to block Ares and Zero Seven.

"Time is alive!"

"Um?"

The special device's duration ended a step earlier than the escapee's. Ares let out a slightly puzzled hum. The human next to Number Seven seemed to be somewhat special, but it didn't matter. He only had one purpose for coming here, and that was Zero Seven. Everything else was irrelevant.

Grabbing Wang Yu by the neck who was blocking his way, he casually flung him away, sending him flying and crashing into the wall. Along the way, he knocked over a large number of workpieces and tools, and many sharp objects pierced Wang Yu's body. Carrying the injuries left by Heracras, he was once again left with broken bones, torn tendons, and torn flesh.

"damn it……"

Inspiration Check • Pass

Inspiration Check • Pass

Before him was a blurry vision stained with crimson. He was still relatively conscious, but Wang Yu could no longer see things clearly. The mecha raised its hand, seemingly preparing to end its life. It was going all out, just like before, summoning all the great powers that could be summoned: Ritual • Abyss Dweller!

"Stop! Don't touch him!"

Zero Seven's voice boomed, and it actually made Ares, who was raising his hand to cut Wang Yu into a pile of pieces with the molecular cutting line, stop what he was doing.

"You value him a lot? That's fine, it won't have any impact."

Ares answered casually, putting away his weapon without really caring.

"Seven, you did a good job. Did you learn this method from the Star Ring? Indeed, for them, this method is enough to conceal their existence from us. After all, they are not worth us going to such lengths to make such a plan. But Seven, you are different."

Looking at Ling Qi who was looking at him, Ares naturally explained to her why he was able to find Ling Qi. Instead of directly dealing with all the obstacles present, he even dragged his feet on talking about "irrelevant" things with his target. This showed that Ares had absolute confidence.

"Temporarily severing your connection with the Origin Sea may indeed prevent our level-one observation methods from detecting you, but in the current environment of the ruined city, you are actually quite conspicuous, do you understand? The tide rises and falls, and the power of the Mechanical Sea flows endlessly."

"You are like a sudden void in this tide. Although you hide yourself, the gaps and voids formed by the severing of connections are clearly visible from a macroscopic perspective."

"Without arousing the tides of the mechanical sea, we indeed cannot find you. But for you, we are willing to pay such a price to make this plan. If we do not hide ourselves, we will surely find you. And if we hide ourselves, this void indicates that there is something wrong, and it is very likely that it is you, Number Seven."

Ares calmly explained that from beginning to end, Tianzhou Group had not left any loopholes for Wang Yu and Ling Qi to exploit. Whether they chose to hide themselves or not, Ling Qi would eventually be discovered; it was only a matter of time.

"Can you understand? This is the power of the City of Myriad Machines. Number Seven, you have already proven your extraordinary talent to me, but you are still too immature. As long as you become a pillar of the City of Myriad Machines, you can reach a higher realm together with this great creation."

After Ares finished speaking, he extended another invitation to Zero Seven.

"Don't I have any other options?"

Lingqi looked at the mech in front of him, which could destroy everything in the workshop in an instant, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I think so. You are far too important to us. If this goes against your will, we can only make some sacrifices in the face of countless wills. But I believe that as long as you... Is this what the people of the ruined city are like? They clearly do not have the ability to control these powers, yet they still use them. It is so pathetic that it makes me want to vomit."

Ares was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly turned his gaze to Wang Yu, who had just been slammed against the wall. His words were filled with undisguised disgust as he raised his hand, and a blurry city phantom appeared in the material world behind him.

At this moment, the power of eternal death began to surge wildly within Wang Yu's body. The great being that had once taken his right eye had, for some unknown reason, chosen to respond to his ritual, poised to unleash its power upon everything around it, devouring all things with pure nothingness.

But at the very moment the phantom of the City of Myriad Machines appeared, the immense power surging around his body receded like a tide, and the power summoned by the ritual vanished in an instant. Wang Yu's reckless, suicidal ritual was easily neutralized by Ares with the City of Myriad Machines.

His eyes, filled with rage and fury, were fixed on the azure mecha whose shadow cast a phantom image of a city. Wang Yu understood once again what a behemoth truly was. This was an enemy he could never defeat, no matter what he did; there was no chance...
