Chapter 315 - 223: Crushing Wacai
Amidst the deafening insect cries, a giant insect covered in black armor charged out.
This creature is called the "Dark Armor Insect," a Viper-class frenzied mechanical ferocious beast. Its comprehensive strength is enough to match a Prosthetic Implanter with a fully replaced Stringently Managed Level 1 Artificial Body. It is also the ultimate weapon in Ah Tang’s hands.
The Dark Armor Insect is 12 meters long, weighs 31 tons, and has extremely thick biological armor, enough to withstand heavy weapon bombardments. Its robust limbs possess the destructive power of a crusher.
The Dark Armor Insect charged out from under Dongdong’s feet, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground in embarrassment.
"Edge of my civilization!" Dongdong said in anger and shame, activating bullet time and rushing towards the Dark Armor Insect, landing a punch on its massive insect head.
"Dong!"
However, the Dark Armor Insect’s defense was too strong. Not only was its shell hard, but its joint connections also contained a large amount of cushioning insect liquid. Dongdong’s punch only made it shake its head slightly, without causing effective damage.
Chu Nanyi said urgently, "Sister Dong, this is a Viper-class frenzied mechanical ferocious beast, a rank higher than us. Don’t fight it head-on! Circumvent it and directly attack that Spiritual Brain Modifier!"
Chu Nanyi’s judgment was sharp. Compared to Prosthetic Implanters and Blood Code Carriers who fought with their bodies, the biggest advantage of a Spiritual Brain Modifier was that they could continuously replace mechanical ferocious beasts.
If the previously controlled mechanical ferocious beast died, they could immediately switch to another one to continue fighting.
It’s like a knife breaking and just replacing it with another one.
But the price behind this method was that their body was incredibly fragile.
No matter how advanced a Spiritual Brain Modifier is, if someone gets close, they become a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
However, when Dongdong gets angry, she refuses to believe in evil and insists on battling the Dark Armor Insect head-on.
The Dark Armor Insect raised its massive forelimb and swept towards Dongdong with destructive power.
Dongdong maxed out her prosthetic’s power output, forcibly catching the blow with her arm and then grabbing its forelimb.
"Umm—" A low growl came from Dongdong’s throat as the armor on the Dark Armor Insect’s forelimb began to deform, with her fingers slowly sinking into it.
But she misjudged the battle situation. Her body’s artificial implant is a Stringently Managed Level 2, while the Viper-class frenzied mechanical ferocious beast is already a rank higher. Moreover, the Dark Armor Insect is known for its strength and defense.
The Dark Armor Insect suddenly lifted its forelimb, and Dongdong’s body was flung into the air, then slammed to the ground, throwing her.
Before Dongdong could get up, the Dark Armor Insect quickly crawled forward, raising its front body and then slamming down, crushing Dongdong underneath with a "boom."
Hidden behind cover, Ah Tang chuckled, "Taking on the Dark Armor Insect head-on? You’re truly the most overconfident person I’ve ever seen!"
"Sister Dong!" Chu Nanyi’s face turned pale with fright.
The Dark Armor Insect weighs over thirty tons. With such weight pressing down, not to mention a human body, even a car couldn’t withstand it.
Chu Nanyi was anxious, the engine sound inside his body roaring, the skin on his arms splitting open to reveal all kinds of gun muzzles.
"Rumble——" Various projectiles and energy beams spewed from the gun muzzles, raining down on the Dark Armor Insect’s body.
Some were directly deflected off its hard shell, while others left smoking holes, but compared to the Dark Armor Insect’s massive body, this damage was negligible.
Just as the Dark Armor Insect intended to chase Chu Nanyi, its midsection suddenly arched, countless insect limbs leaving the ground one after another, waving erratically in the air.
Under its massive body stood a small, resolute figure.
Dongdong’s heartbeat resounded like a war drum, pounding people’s eardrums, her body emanating radiant pathways, a powerful aura naturally emerging.
The 31-ton Dark Armor Insect was lifted overhead by Dongdong with both hands, the ground beneath her feet cracking under the pressure, yet her light-filled body stood as firm as if forged from steel.
A Level 2 Stringently Managed Artificial Body could never have the strength to lift something over thirty tons.
Dongdong had achieved it, with only one possibility.
"Prosthetic... Prosthetic Overload??!!" Ah Tang was dumbfounded on the spot.
She had never before seen an implanter capable of utilizing Prosthetic Overload and had once believed this ability to be mere legend.
Dongdong grinned and said, "No way, is this all from a Viper-class frenzy?"
With a sudden burst of strength, the massive Dark Armor Insect was tossed out like a shot put, crashing into the ground with a "boom" and skidding more than ten meters.
It struggled to flip itself over with its flailing limbs, barely getting up as Dongdong had already attacked.
Under the explosive power of first-level overload, her form vanished instantly, launching a frenzied assault around the Dark Armor Insect, so fast that it pulled seven or eight afterimages.
"Dongdongdongdongdong—" Her fists pounded down like a violent storm on the Dark Armor Insect, each punch producing the sound of artillery fire.
Dongdong not only chose to confront head-on but went all the way, intentionally avoiding the relatively weaker joints of the Dark Armor Insect and focusing on battering its strongest armored shell.
Her savage strength reached the apex, with the seemingly indestructible shell of the Dark Armor Insect developing countless dents, soon shattering entirely, with fragments flying everywhere.
"Smash smash smash smash smash smash—" The violent onslaught even disturbed the local airflow, raising a storm on the battlefield, as the Dark Armor Insect’s body burst like a crushed orange, with blood and flesh spurting everywhere.
Famed for its defense, the Dark Armor Insect was brutally beaten into a flat insect cake by Dongdong, dying in the most humiliating manner.
Chu Nanyi clapped in admiration: "Great job, Sister Dong!"
Ah Tang was so shocked her eyes nearly popped out, with blood gushing from her nostrils.
Dongdong stepped over the carcass of the Dark Armor Insect, striding towards Ah Tang.
