Chapter 257 The Cleaner's True Form Descends
On the screen of the control panel, Mars Lee's smile was gentle and holy.
The crystal dome behind him reflected a brilliant light.
He was completely different from the man in the distress video, whose face was covered in blood and who was struggling to survive.
He slowly and deliberately smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on his pristine white robe.
"Welcome, guests from China, to the hunting grounds of Europe."
His voice came through the speaker, with a slightly metallic quality.
"The fattest lamb should be used in the grandest ceremony."
"Your greatest strength will be the best offering to my Lord."
No one from the first squad responded.
The veins on Zhao Leiguang's neck throbbed.
Wen Yue's knuckles turned white from clenching them.
Lu Yan drew the tactical dagger from his waist.
The movement was so fast that it left only a blur.
He swung the dagger backhand and plunged it hard into the screen of the control panel.
puff.
The blade pierced through, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared in the center of the screen.
Mars Lee's fake smile was utterly shattered on a physical level.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Communication was forcibly cut off.
The cold, mechanical synthesized voice did not stop despite the damage to the screen.
Instead, it became even more high-pitched and sharp.
"Physical intrusion detected."
"The offerings are ready; the sacrificial ceremony will begin ahead of schedule."
"'Scavenger', activated."
The floor of the entire underground hall began to tremble violently.
The solid bronze floor tiles underfoot emitted a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
One by one, the floor tiles were flipped over, revealing deep, dark cracks underneath.
A colossal creature is slowly rising from the crack.
That's not a living thing.
It is a headless giant forcibly pieced together from pure bronze bricks and the remains of a discarded "Hunter" mech.
Its limbs consist of tank tracks and thick bronze pillars, with exposed twisted steel bars and hydraulic lines at the joints.
A blinding red light shone from a huge hole in the giant's chest.
That's the energy of the Kunlun Mountains' veins.
It was forcibly extracted, compressed, and compressed again, turning into an extremely unstable power core.
There was not a trace of external, high-dimensional holy light.
Only the purest and most ferocious native forces belong to this land.
This thing is a tumor on the dragon vein of China.
The giant crawled out of the crack and stood up straight.
Its height almost touches the dome of the hall.
The headless body leaned slightly forward, as if scrutinizing the intruders beneath its feet.
It raises its right arm, which is made of tank tracks and bronze pillars.
Then, press down hard.
It didn't hit anyone.
It's just a simple downward pressing motion.
hum-
The gravitational field of the entire space suddenly changed.
The air was compressed and became viscous like water.
Zhao Leiguang grunted and his knees buckled abruptly.
The bronze bricks beneath his feet were crushed to pieces by his tactical boots.
The Earth Pulse Kit's energy readings are alarming wildly.
He felt as if he wasn't wearing a shield, but rather carrying an entire mountain.
"That bastard..."
He gritted his teeth and slammed the Taotie Twin Shields hard onto the ground in front of him, trying to steady himself.
Xiao Qianyu was not fully affected by gravity.
In the instant the gravity field changed, she activated her teleportation strike.
His figure transformed into a black bolt of lightning, moving close to the ground and avoiding the core area where the pressure was strongest.
The dark golden light of the Dragon King's Halberd drew a sharp arc in mid-air.
The target: the giant's bare ankle joint.
stab-
The halberd blade rubbed violently against the bronze casing, exploding into a long string of dazzling sparks.
The blade of the halberd is sharp enough to tear through the scales of higher-dimensional beings.
But when it was cut, only a pale scratch less than half a centimeter long was left on the thing.
The giant didn't even sway.
It noticed the insect at its feet.
He swung his hand back.
A giant hand made of tracks swept across with a whooshing sound.
The attack speed is not fast.
But that sheer physical pressure was enough to crush steel.
Xiao Qianyu did not try to withstand it.
She held her halberd horizontally in front of her chest, precisely positioning it against the gap in the sweeping tracks.
Using that immense force, his body flipped backward.
Adjusting its posture in mid-air, it landed steadily and glided more than ten meters away.
She glanced at the small chipped hole in the halberd and remained silent.
Lin Chuxue's Blood Explosion Magic Array lit up beneath the giant's feet.
The dark red magical energy washed over the bronze shell, leaving not a single trace.
This thing has no blood, no soul; it's just a bunch of dead things forcibly driven by the earth's ley line energy.
Wen Yue's specially made armor-piercing bullet struck the core of the giant's chest, but was deflected by the violent energy field and flew off to an unknown destination.
Su Yunqing's healing aura fell on Zhao Leiguang, but it could not alleviate the physical pressure brought by the gravitational field.
This "Scavenger's" attack mode abandons all fancy energy calculations.
Only the two most primitive and unreasonable things were retained.
Absolute physical crushing.
And, the vibrations from the Kunlun ley lines themselves.
These two forces perfectly countered the combat system of the first squad, which had just completed its energy upgrade.
They were like a group of mages equipped with top-tier magic wands, who encountered a tough, burly barbarian who only believed in fists.
The giant missed his target and did not pursue.
It slowly raised its other arm, brought its arms together, and made a squeezing motion in front of its chest.
Boom!
The walls and dome of the entire hall began to shrink inward.
Countless bronze bricks fell off and reassembled in mid-air to form new attack units.
Smaller bronze gargoyles emerged from the wall, flapping their metal wings as they swooped down toward the crowd.
"Damn it, they even call for backup!"
Zhao Leiguang roared and, despite the immense pressure, forcefully threw out a Taotie Shield.
The shield spun out and smashed the two gargoyles that were charging at the front.
But more gargoyles came from all directions.
Wen Yue immediately turned the gun around and began to fire precise bursts.
With each tremor of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow, a gargoyle would fall from mid-air.
The first squad was confined to a small space, struggling to deal with the endless stream of miscellaneous soldiers.
The real "scavenger" simply stood quietly in place, coldly observing everything with the red light emanating from its chest.
It is draining their energy.
Enjoying the prey's futile struggle.
Lu Yan did not move.
He stood on the edge of the battlefield, seemingly forgotten by everyone.
On the tactical terminal screen, the newly downloaded database was being rapidly analyzed by the Void Disk.
Lines of spiraling third-party code were forcibly deciphered and reassembled.
Structural diagram of the "Scavenger" prototype.
Dynamically reorganize the code.
Frequency band of the energy core.
In his eyes, all the data became a set of building blocks that could be disassembled.
Lu Yan put away the terminal.
He glanced at his teammates, who were being harassed by an endless stream of gargoyles.
Then, his gaze fell upon the towering, headless giant.
He put away the dagger.
The instructions were given in the tactical channel.
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"Normal output is invalid."
His gaze swept over the rough seams of the giant's body, the exposed hydraulic lines, and the throbbing, berserk core.
"Tear it apart."
