"Bang!"
The hot melt beam bound by the strong magnetic field was detonated at the muzzle of the gun in advance, and a dazzling fireball ignited in mid-air.
Jiang Zhou, who had nowhere to rely on in mid-air, was immediately blown away by the violent shock wave, and was hit hard like a sandbag on the shelf he had jumped up from earlier.
"Grass……"
Putting down the hands that were crossed to protect his head, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but bared his teeth and cursed as he smelled the burnt smell that filled the air.
At this moment, except for most of his head, which was protected by his arms, the skin on the front of his body was basically roasted into a layer of pitch-black charcoal, vaguely revealing the dark silver plastic armor hidden under the skin.
"If we encounter a similar situation in the base reality in the future, then sooner or later this native skin will have to be replaced..."
While complaining, Jiang Zhou patted out the remaining flames in his hair and then raised his head.
As expected, after the dazzling fire dissipated, Wutou-23 was still alive - he was also blown far away. At this moment, he was working hard to adjust his balance in mid-air.
At the moment of the explosion, Wutou-23, sensing the danger, decisively disconnected his left arm and quickly rose up to distance himself, avoiding fatal injuries.
At this moment, he looked okay except for being a little embarrassed.
In other words, Jiang Zhou's previous risky actions only resulted in breaking off the opponent's arm and melting part of the armor on the left side.
However, if Depth 2 beats Depth 4, it’s not a loss if you can achieve this kind of effect with mental arithmetic but without intention...
While Jiang Zhou was thinking this, a bright silver figure suddenly flew in front of his eyes.
That was Booker who activated the flotation device.
Before he could explain anything, the Aegis individual combat module on his body once again transformed into a huge shield.
As soon as he stood in front of Jiang Zhou with his shield, Wutou-23 floating in mid-air poured a large amount of ammunition towards them.
That was not the weapon Cerberus brought with him, but he took out a rapid-fire weapon that looked half the size of a man from his storage space.
The jumping sound of "Table Tennut Dang Dang" kept echoing on the shield on the unfolding moment, and Booker's head turned behind him.
He looked at Jiang Zhou and said:
"Is this what you call 'I have a way'?"
Booker's tone sounded like a complaint.
"I think the results are pretty good."
To this, Jiang Zhou replied like this.
"Can't you consider a more secure approach?"
Booker said, turning his head to look forward again.
And the shield in his hand flashed, and an information window appeared, allowing them to see the enemy's current situation through the shield.
"I have to get close enough first, and then take action at the moment when the opponent's melta weapon fires, in order to succeed."
In this regard, Jiang Zhou explained.
Regarding the ability to control magnetic fields, rather than clumsily manipulating metal products, it may be a more appropriate use to directly affect the deflection of the magnetic field itself and cause damage to weapons or equipment that rely on it to be effective.
The tactics Jiang Zhou executed before were entirely based on his instincts.
After the brain can sense the "magnetic field", using them rationally in battle will completely become a part of one's thinking. It was only at this time that Jiang Zhou realized that there were so many tactical possibilities - it was like the advantages that a person with normal vision could gain in a world full of blind people.
In fact, if both sides were on the ground before, then after the explosion, he would have already gone up to it and used his melee skills.
It's a pity that I don't have the ability to fight in the air - it's hard to believe that the upgrade path named "Icarus" doesn't have any enhancements in air combat until Depth 2.
"The opponent's anti-gravity device has been damaged."
Jiang Zhou then continued.
At this moment, Wutou-23's body had blood-red lines that symbolized the operation of the anti-gravity device, which looked a little unclear.
This was also the purpose of his previous adventure. As long as the other party was in the air, it would be difficult for him to pose a threat.
The dense electromagnetic-driven bullets hit the Aegis unfolded by Booker, just like raindrops hitting an umbrella, making a pleasant sound without stopping.
Jiang Zhou increased his volume to cover up the sound of bullets, intending to make his next plan clear.
"we should……"
However, before he could finish his words, an eye-catching warning message suddenly flashed on the large shield in Booker's hand.
[Has been locked by high-threat weapons, please dodge as soon as possible]
As for what kind of high-threat weapon it is... At this moment, the armor on the chest of Wutou-23 in the picture is opened.
Previously, Jiang Zhou had never understood why he was wearing such a mechanical device and had a design that resembled chest muscles shamelessly on his chest. But now, after seeing the two "chest muscles" unfolding outwards, revealing the missile nest buried underneath, he understood.
"Oops! Get out of the way!"
Booker roared when he saw this, and then put away his shield decisively.
The missile nest contained only one out of ten missiles. In the end, only a single digit number of missiles rose into the sky and were launched towards them with unpredictable trajectories.
After this round of launch, the anti-gravity device on Wutou-23 seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, and the blood-red lines on the armor's surface completely faded. His entire body was recaptured by the gravity simulated by the base construction, and he fell like a butterfly with broken wings.
…………
be cheated……
Seeing the adjuster of the Path of Perseus holding up a huge shield to protect his teammates, Wutou-23 knew that he had won.
Assembling that shield means that the opponent will not have too many Aegis parts available for use.
At least, not enough to assemble a reliable missile interceptor in a short time.
Then, now is the time for both of them to die.
In the missile nest, the last few missiles of the "Strangle of Hades" model were locked and fired.
This is a weapon whose principle is similar to a thermobaric bomb, but its destructive power is even more exaggerated. It only takes one detonation in a small or medium-sized building to ensure that the entire building becomes a living hell.
In the previous battle with the "gatekeeper", he used these weapons and worked together with the opponent to destroy an entire block.
One of the characteristics of this weapon is that its lethality in a small space is far greater than that in an open area.
And it’s pervasive.
As he expected, there was no time to generate an interception device. In order to avoid the incoming missiles, the two men dived into the three-dimensional maze-like warehouse area below them like two bereaved dogs.
And this doomed their defeat.
The flying speed of the "Strangle of Hades" missile is not very fast compared to the enemy's maneuverability. In other words, as long as it is faced with a certain degree of adjustment, the probability of a direct hit by this weapon will be horribly low.
However, their killing range never requires a direct hit.
This is the concept of Cerberus Path - when the accuracy of shooting is not enough, what they need to do is to increase the damage radius of the weapon and compress as much space as possible for the opponent to dodge.
Although this does not conform to Wutou-23's personal aesthetic concept - he prefers to look into his opponent's eyes and witness death with his own eyes. But he had to admit that this approach was very efficient.
He controlled the missiles remotely as accurately as if he were using his own fingers, making them explode like weapons from the A.D. calendar.
Even if it is only carrying "two-head" level equipment to dive, even if today's ammunition is out of ten... Wutou-23 finally demonstrated its powerful suppressive power as a killing machine.
When Wutou-23 fell back to the ground due to the damaged and malfunctioning anti-gravity device, the three-dimensional warehouse had already turned into a sea of fire.
And the two guys who hid in... Maybe they thought that the stable structure of the warehouse could save them, but the actual result is that the stable and solid three-dimensional structure of the Honeycomb Warehouse will maximize the "Hades" The lethality of "the strangle" turned into a steel tomb wrapping their bodies.
High temperature, shock wave and lack of oxygen, there is always a fatal factor that can completely kill them like cockroaches.
[You and the helpers you invited look smart, but are actually stupid]
After landing, Wutou-23 looked not far away, and Theseus said as he slowly walked out of the fog.
At this point, his speaker has been burned out, so he can only send messages on the teammate channel.
The flames swept through the entire three-dimensional warehouse, and every square in the hive was constantly spitting out blazing flames.
Explosions were heard one after another, and glass and broken parts were constantly blown out.
It is difficult to imagine that carbon-based organisms can survive in it.
In response to this, Jiang Zhou stood silently, silent.
[Icarus and Perseus...if you have any other accomplices or abilities, feel free to use them]
[I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of surprises you can give me]
Wutou-23 said this.
Seeing that Jiang Zhou remained silent, he took out a red-edged mechanical sword from his storage space.
Wutou-23 dragged the long sword all the way and said as he walked:
[I have heard a saying in the past that there is a classification of the naming methods of various upgrade paths]
[Gods, heroes, monsters]
The blade of the mechanical sword was ignited, and it gradually approached Jiang Zhou, trailing a trail of smoke and black smoke.
[The superior gods symbolize the evolved form that has transcended human intelligence and is not limited to life forms]
[Heroes with divine blood represent new humans who inherit human heritage and advance along the evolutionary path of millions of years]
And the monster...
Wutou-23 was now less than five meters away from Jiang Zhou.
For his speed, this distance is almost nothing.
It only took a tenth of a heartbeat for him to behead Jiang Zhou.
[And monsters have always been just whetstones used by gods to test heroes. It is said that all upgrade paths in the name of monsters, even if they reach the end, they cannot get rid of the identity of tools]
[In the plan of super artificial intelligence, the upgrade path of monsters can never give birth to civilization]
Having said this in the communication channel, he slowly raised the sword in his hand.
The movement was as solemn as if he were performing some sacrificial activity.
[It may be a coincidence that you were given the heroic name of 'Theseus'. You have indeed received the blessing of the gods and summoned two other heroes to help you]
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Jiang Zhou finally asked.
[It’s not... a big deal]
Having said this, Wutou-23 lowered the long sword in his hand again.
[Although you are the one who is at the end of the road right now, I have a hunch - as long as I swing the weapon in my hand and slash at you, Ye Qian, who is in the basic reality, will just inject 'Scavenger' to kill me, and then Just right to save you】
[This is all just a test for you, and my mission is to die at the right moment]
[So I don’t want to swing the knife, because as long as I swing the knife, my fixed destiny will begin to flow, and the destined death will come to me]
"So, you are not only a historian, but also a philosopher?"
Jiang Zhou answered like this, and then he couldn't help laughing:
"Also, what is this? Is it your resistance to your destiny of being born to adjust your identity?"
[We are born as tools, so we have philosophical concepts that you cannot understand]
To this, Aconite-23 replied.
Finally, he said:
[If it is really you who survives in the end, maybe you can find out more]
【very romantic】
After saying that, he suddenly raised his sword again.
The blazing blade slashed at Jiang Zhou at a speed that could not be captured by his dynamic vision.
"clang!"
The sharp blade was firmly blocked in mid-air by the two crossed mantis knives.
That was Liao Qi, whose body was charred and black, appearing between them with firm eyes.
A faint mist filled the air between the two of them.
In response to this, Jiang Zhou said without blinking:
"Death may be your destiny, but I can work hard to let you choose a more satisfactory way to die. This is not my trial... but the trial I give to others."
Then, he turned to look at Booker, who just came out of another fog, and continued:
"In addition, trials are two-way. Just like the piles of bones that died in the hands of Gorgon before Perseus visited; or, before Hercules, he tried to go down to the underworld and was killed by Cerberus. Like the living being torn apart.
"How can monsters not be their own winners in those unknown stories?"
I really want to slap myself in the face, but I stay up late again
