Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Page 102

With a swing of the lightsaber, a crescent-shaped golden blade of light shot out, instantly slicing the five-headed serpent dog and the two earth salamanders in half, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.

"Okay, boss!"

The doorless Mirage, like a humanoid quantum cloud, passed directly through a half-collapsed building.

"Let me take a good look. Oh, so this is it. 300 meters to the northwest, at the entrance to the underground parking garage, a strong life essence reaction was detected. Found it, it's the Calyx Beasts, and they are commanding the battle."

As if to verify Wumen's recent discovery, the ground suddenly began to shake.

Dozens of spiny eels emerged from various narrow crevices. Their bodies were covered with grayish-white bony plates, and their mouths split to the base of their ears, densely covered with barbed, sharp teeth.

"Watch out for bone spurs!" Shattered Star warned.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you all!"

With a low roar, the shield of the Immovable Mountain expanded again, blocking most of the bone spikes.

Just as Shattered Star's warning fell, a dense barrage of bone spikes, like a torrential downpour, were already launched, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, covering the entire area where the squad was located.

However, one mech remained completely unfazed by the attack.

Just as the bone spurs were about to strike, the particle cloud fluctuations on the surface of Wumen's Phantom mech suddenly intensified.

He didn't dodge, nor did he even make any defensive stance.

The next second, something astonishing happened.

"Shhhhhh!"

Countless sharp, hardened bone spurs, as if piercing through a phantom, went straight through the location of the Phantom.

Yes, penetrate!

The bone spikes seemed to have shot into a non-existent space, entering from the front of the mech and exiting unimpeded from the rear, finally embedding themselves helplessly in the ground and ruins behind it.

The strong phase field remained in effect, putting the Phantom in a superposition state where it was almost impossible to lock onto it with physical attacks.

Wumen even had the leisure to raise the mecha's blurry arm. Several bone spikes that had pierced his body were pierced again in the trajectory of his raised arm, as if skimming through water, leaving no trace.

Swish!

Without any movement, sound, or light effects, the quantum cloud that had transformed into a humanoid form vanished from its original spot in an instant, and almost simultaneously appeared behind a broken wall where a swarm of spiky eels had gathered.

A short-range quantum leap-like teleportation!

The group of spiny eels had just completed their first volley, and their bioluminescent organs in their necks were recharging. They never expected their enemy to get so close to them in this way.

Although Wumen was not equipped with heavy firepower weapons, the Phantom's attack methods were equally bizarre.

His arm, vaguely visible as a cloud of particles, was raised, the phase stabilizer transmitter at the tip of the arm aimed at the nearest spiky eel.

An invisible phase field expanded instantly, enveloping the spiky eel.

The next moment, the eel's body began to twist and blur violently, as if its very existence was being forcibly disintegrated.

It emitted a painful hissing sound, and the bone plates on its body began to melt and dissipate as if they were wax being thrown into strong acid. In the end, the entire body completely disintegrated in just two seconds, turning into a pool of inactive basic organic matter and a pile of grayish-white powder.

This is an attack that directly targets the fundamental structure of matter... phase decomposition!

After eliminating one, there was no way to continue the offensive.

The Phantom once again transformed into an untouchable ghost, flashing repeatedly among the swarm of eels.

Each brief appearance is accompanied by the silent operation of the phase stabilizer, inevitably resulting in a spiny eel being silently reduced to dust in extreme pain.

Some of the spiky eels were directly teleported underground by Wumen, who pressed their heads down; his abilities were indeed bizarre.

Mech Files: Phantom!

The Phantom without a door is an infiltration and assault type mech.

• Core design concepts: Phase traversal, absolute evasion, tactical infiltration

This mech is extremely strange, and it does not have a traditional fixed form.

It resembles a humanoid quantum cloud that constantly decomposes and reassembles itself, with a surface like flowing dust composed of millions of microparticles.

The central region contains a stable, rotating, hyper-domain core that emits a soft blue light and is key to maintaining its shape.

There are no clearly defined limbs, but the phase stabilizer transmitter is faintly visible in the arm area.

It perfectly solves the instability problem in phase manipulation, ensures absolute safety during the shuttle process, and avoids fatal risks such as molecular disintegration.

This keeps the wearer and the mecha in a state of quantum superposition of certainty and uncertainty.

Ordinary physical attacks and energy weapons will pass directly through the phase field, making them unable to lock onto or deal damage.

You can control the phase field at will, allowing yourself or any object you come into contact with to move freely through obstacles of any shape, such as walls and mountains.

Users can even perceive the fine internal structure and temperature of objects.

It can perform short-distance quantum leap-like teleportation, with no process of movement, as if it disappears directly from point A and reappears at point B.

It can temporarily expand the phase field to envelop teammates or objects within a certain range, enabling group phase travel.

With this mech, Wumen's abilities have been greatly enhanced, his stability has been greatly improved, and the weight and volume of objects he can carry when transporting matter far exceed those of the past. Even if he pushes a truck through a wall, there will be no molecular disintegration.

When worn, it doesn't feel cold and metallic, but rather a wonderful feeling of blending into a comfortable space, resonating with the user's bioelectric field.

Users feel as if they have vanished into nothingness, yet also seem to be omnipresent, elevating their perception of space and matter to a whole new dimension.

Movement and traversal are driven by thought, with extremely fast response times and virtually no delay.

Its value lies not in its frontal firepower, but in its unparalleled tactical mobility and infiltration capabilities.

It can ignore any terrain and fortifications and penetrate deep into the core area behind enemy lines.

Wumen can suddenly appear in any unexpected location to launch an attack or carry out a decapitation mission.

It can directly transport teammates or key equipment to any location, or rescue people from desperate situations. Its elusive nature is enough to throw the enemy into disarray.

……

Shandong stepped forward and loosened the joints of his mecha. "Now, it's my turn to fight back!"

After saying that, Shan Da did not rush towards the densest herd of beasts. Instead, he swung the giant circular rippled shield behind him in front of him and slammed it heavily into the ground.

"Bang!"

The edges of the shield were deeply embedded in the earth.

At the same time, the complex energy patterns on the shield's surface lit up instantly, and an invisible force field of collective taunting spread out from the shield's center.

The hatred of the snake-dogs and earth salamanders within a certain range was instantly drawn to them. Their scarlet eyes were fixed on the Chongxiao Ship behind the giant shield, and they roared madly as they pounced on it without regard for anything else.

Their sharp claws and teeth, their heavy impacts, and even the salamanders' acid spits all bombarded the giant shield.

The dense sounds of impact and corrosion were like raindrops hitting banana leaves. Seeing that the time was right, Shan Da suddenly pulled back his giant metal gauntlet, which was comparable to the size of a millstone, on his right arm. A tremendous sound of energy compression, which made one's teeth ache, came from inside the gauntlet. The energy was ready to be released.

"broken!"

With a loud shout, the massive steel fist, carrying destructive power, slammed forward!

The target was not a single Devouring Beast, but rather the dense swarm of Devouring Beasts in front of the giant shield.

Chapter 142 All-Out Attack

"boom!"

The moment the fist struck the ground, a visible, circular shockwave, mixed with gravel and dust, erupted violently forward in a crescent shape.

The five or six snake-dogs and two salamanders that were hit first didn't even have time to scream before their bodies twisted, deformed, and then exploded violently as if they were flies being swatted by an invisible giant hand.

Dark blue blood and fragments of internal organs splattered wildly backward in a radial pattern, while the monsters further back were violently thrown away by this savage shockwave.

The sound of bones cracking echoed, like leaves being swept up by a gale and crashing into the distant ruins.

The power of a single punch cleared out part of the area.

"I haven't had enough fun yet!"

As Shan Da spoke loudly, the short, thick barrel of the Rockbreaker Siege Pulse Cannon, which had been in standby mode under his left shoulder armor, finally lit up with a destructive light.

"boom!!"

Once the energy storage was complete, a thick, condensed, dark red pulse of energy tore through the air and blasted directly into a large salamander horde in the distance, which had just stood up and was preparing to spray acid again.

"Oh!"

The pulsed energy beam spreads rapidly the instant it hits the target, forming a brief, destructive energy field.

The three or four salamanders within the area, along with the ground beneath their feet, were instantly vaporized and decomposed, leaving only a huge crater with wisps of smoke rising from it.

The Chongxiao stood still, steam swirling around its massive gauntlets, and the muzzles of its shoulder cannons still glowed with residual energy.

……

Mech Files: Chongxiao!

Shandong University's Chongxiao is a heavy defensive, assault-type mech.

Its appearance is extremely large, far exceeding that of conventional mechs, and it can cause the ground to tremble when it lands.

The deck is extremely thick and has sharp edges, giving it an indestructible feel.

The leg structure is rock-solid, and the feet are huge gripping track structures that ensure superior stability.

The core, specially designed nuclear reactor has an extremely high output power, providing a surge of energy to the heavy machine body and weapon systems.

Defense System: Built-in Immovable Mountain Stance Configurator. Once activated, it can significantly increase its own mass in a short period of time and anchor itself to the ground to form an absolute defensive posture, capable of withstanding the frontal charge of a large Devouring Beast.

Its primary melee weapon is a giant shock gauntlet, comparable in size to a millstone. A single punch from it is enough to smash a small Devouring Beast into the ground, causing devastating damage.

Additional equipment includes a shockwave booster inside the arm armor, which adds a wide-area shockwave with each strike, enhancing destructive power and area-of-effect damage.

The main long-range weapon, the Rockbreaker Siege Pulse Cannon, is tucked under heavy shoulder armor. It is short and stubby with a short range, but a single shot can easily destroy small fortifications or solid targets.

Defensive equipment: A giant circular rippled shield, resembling a single, massive, and sturdy forged steel ingot.

This shield provides superior physical protection.

It has a built-in recoil energy absorption function, which can effectively offset the impact.
