Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

boom----!!!

A crimson pillar of blood, far exceeding any previous one, shot into the sky from Lin Qingyue's body!

An endless aura of slaughter and a materialized, blood-red phantom of a Shura roared madly behind her.

Lin Qingyue's health points are plummeting at a terrifying rate of 5% per second, and are rapidly increasing to 30% per second over time!

"This level of energy..." The electronic eyes of the hammer burst with extremely excited red light. The [Jealousy] chip sensed the most destructive high-level energy fluctuation in the entire venue so far.

Adam Hammer decisively abandoned the previously copied S.A.S. Speed ​​state, and a ghostly green light flashed wildly on the surface of the chip.

Zi la la!

On the surface of the heavy hammer's mechanical body, a scarlet blood flame, exactly the same as Lin Qingyue's, suddenly ignited!

Even in the air behind him, a massive cyber Asura phantom materialized!

Jealousy perfectly replicates this life-burning energy!

"Hahahaha! This power! It's amazing!"

Feeling the violent, destructive power within him that seemed capable of tearing the heavens apart, Heavy Hammer let out a deafening roar of laughter: "Come on! Woman! Let me tear you to shreds..."

however.

Before Chongchui could finish speaking, he saw an extremely bizarre scene unfold before him.

Lin Qingyue did not charge forward with her sword.

Through this period of intense combat and the refinement of numerous precious materials, her control over the demon sword has reached a new level.

At this moment, she gritted her teeth and forcibly suppressed the crazy urge to tear everything apart. She forcefully controlled her body, which was covered in blood flames, and rolled on the spot in an extremely disheveled manner, directly rushing to the farthest cover!

boo.

A crisp click of the plug being pulled.

Lin Qingyue, who was huddled against the wall, had not yet dispelled the [Shura] state.

She let the terrifying blood flames burn on her body, and her health plummeted like a burst dam.

At the same time, she also took out the high-level recovery potion left by Zhang Yuan and gulped it down like water!

Losing health, recovering health... The terrifying percentage-based deductions and the massive healing from high-level potions created an extremely brutal dynamic balance within Lin Qingyue's body.

"...?"

"???"

The heavy hammer outside the bunker caused my brain's CPU to freeze for a full second.

You're unleashing that devastating ultimate attack, and you're running behind cover to heal?!

"I'll kill you cowards!!!"

Feeling utterly humiliated, Heavy Hammer flew into a rage, and the crimson Asura Blood Flame burned even more intensely on his body.

He raised the mechanical arm, ready to vaporize the rats along with their shelter.

But the moment he took his first step, a piercing, highest-level alarm suddenly echoed wildly within his core compartment!

[WARNING! Serious warning!]

[The organism's durability is rapidly decreasing! Its brain blood vessels are about to rupture!]

"What's going on?!"

Hammer looked down in horror and found that his proud alloy armor was being melted by the high temperature of the blood-red flames, and his remaining biological body was rapidly deflated like a punctured balloon.

If we're simply comparing "absolute health," Adam Hammer's health bar is at least dozens of times longer than Lin Qingyue's.

However, the backlash mechanism of the Asura form is a "percentage deduction of maximum health" that ignores armor!

Lin Qingyue has low blood volume, but drinking a few bottles of red medicine can forcefully bring her blood level back up.

Adam Hammer's massive health pool, comparable to that of a heavy tank, became a death sentence in the face of the "percentage-based health reduction" mechanism. The amount of health deducted per second was astronomical!

And the most fatal thing is that he has absolutely no means of recovery!

As for why Lin Qingyue maintained her Asura form and continued to burn her life force, the reason lies with Adam Hammer.

[Jealousy] The abnormality of the chip lies in its "perfect mirror copy", but this is also its most fatal weakness.

If Lin Qingyue cuts off her magic power and cancels her Asura form now, the hammer's chip will determine that "the target skill has ended," thus automatically canceling the copy state.

To slowly wear down this boss with an unfathomable health bar, she must use herself as a continuously burning "bait," forcing the hammer's chip to synchronize with this "Life-Burning Debuff" using her own absolute state!

"Switch! Switch this state away!!!"

The heavy hammer roared in agony, its massive body struggling wildly.

He eagerly awaited the chip to replicate a new, low-power skill to replace the current deadly "Asura Path" state.

[Jealousy] The chip's detection radar frantically scans all around.

however……

"Mute!!!"

Lin Qingyue screamed in the team voice chat.

Then, on Arasaka Square, one of the most comical and bizarre scenes in cyberpunk history unfolded.

Faced with Adam Hammer's painful struggle, Ah-Qiang cut off the power supply to his external prosthetic body, threw away the heavy Gatling gun, and squatted down in the pit with his hands covering his head, looking like he "didn't know anything."

V and Johnny immediately shut down all their combat prosthetics and leaned against the wall, pretending to admire the scenery.

Li Mo went even further, unplugging the brain-computer interface data cable and lying sprawled on the ground pretending to be dead.

The entire battlefield was completely silent.

No one released even the most basic lighting skill, and there was no energy fluctuation whatsoever.

The chip scanned the area and returned the following result: [No high-order energy source that can be covered was detected].

Therefore, the chip can only dutifully continue to maintain its only current skill—[Shura].

"Use your skills! You bastards! Shoot me! Use magic on me!!!"

Heavy Hammer roared in despair, even wanting to fire a cannonball at himself to break the state, but the weapon system had already been melted by the blood flames of the Asura form.

Nobody paid any attention to him.

Everyone watched like they were watching a monkey show, peeking half their heads out from behind their bunkers and silently observing the Night City legend go mad in the blood and fire.

Behind the cover, Lin Qingyue gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain of her body being torn apart and reassembled, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.

At her feet lay more than a dozen empty, transparent medicine bottles.

She was gambling, gambling on whether she would finish drinking the healing potion left by Zhang Yuan first, or whether the tin can outside would be burned to death by percentage-based blood loss first.

The answer is obvious.

"No...no...you despicable...bastards!!!"

Amidst Adam Hammer's extremely unwilling and utterly frustrated screams...

His bottomless, boss-level health bar was completely wiped out by the Asura Path's life-burning backlash.

With a pungent black smoke and sparks, the massive mechanical body collapsed like molten iron, burned alive in its own "jealousy" into a pile of glowing scrap metal.

Ding.

A chip emitting a ghostly green light sprang out from the pile of scrap metal and rolled to V's feet.

Lin Qingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, abruptly sheathed the demon sword, and deactivated her Asura form.

She leaned against the wall, exhausted, panting heavily.

V spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, stepped forward, stomped on the last remaining smoking mechanical eyeball of the heavy hammer, and bent down to pick up the chip.

"Seriously."

V stared at the original sin chip in his hand, a chip capable of triggering a world war, then turned to look at Lin Qingyue and the pile of empty medicine bottles on the ground, his lips twitching wildly.

"Ever since I met you people from the Heavenly Kingdom Armed Forces..."

"I feel like there's nothing serious left in this world."
