Sometimes, that's how it goes.
Wu Tou-23 hopes that his final outcome will be death in battle, while Liao Qi hopes that he can fulfill his opponent's needs.
However, even though the two had the same goal, when it came to the implementation of the matter, progress was still slow.
After all, this is a gap in performance...
Once again being knocked away by the opponent's sword, Liao Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Faced with the powerful output of the opponent's body and its unusually strong armor. Even though Liao Qi took advantage of the surrounding terrain, moved up and down flexibly, and tried to launch attacks from different angles, in the end he never caused fatal damage to the opponent.
Of course, if the fight continues like this, Liao Qi is sure that he will be able to defeat the opponent in the end - after all, facing an adjuster specialized in high-mobility firepower delivery, the opponent's firepower system has been offline, and the maneuverability Most of them were scrapped. If he couldn't win in a hand-to-hand fight, he might as well find a bar and work as a security guard.
Don't continue to waste the resources of the Icarus Liberation Front.
However, even if he could defeat the opponent, Liao Qi's estimated time would be too long. During this period, the opponent may be killed directly in the basic reality at any time.
Although he could have continued to drag it on until the other party died suddenly, the final outcome would not have any impact.
But he didn't want to do that.
Especially after what I said before...
It's time to make a quick decision.
As his thoughts flowed, Jiang Zhou displayed a blood-red countdown to Booker's visual information.
[There are still: 30 minutes until the end of the trial]
The number quickly jumped from 30 to 29.
Booker, who had just returned, couldn't help but become nervous when he saw this series of countdowns. Then, he heard Liao Qi's voice.
"Booker!"
Obviously, Liao Qi also saw the countdown.
Because Booker saw that Liao Qi attacked with a more aggressive attitude at this moment - no longer paying attention to his own defense, purely exchanging injuries for injuries, and started fighting with the hell dog.
This was the worst tactical choice for Liao Qi - exchanging injuries with a guy who had completed the transformation of his whole body into a prosthetic body except for his brain, it was his loss no matter what.
But Booker immediately realized that the other party was buying time for himself.
"Give me 10 seconds."
Understanding what Liao Qi meant, Booker issued instructions to the Aegis module.
[Gorgon Form]
The moment the command was given, the microwave transmitter buried in his right arm turned on by itself. The heatsinks pop out and start operating at full power. At the same time, most of the armor covering Booker's body split into countless parts the size of fish scales in an instant.
Like countless metal beetles, those parts quickly "climbed" to the microwave transmitter on the right arm, and then were quickly nested and assembled.
After a while, a fusiform bronze hand cannon was set up with Booker's right arm as the core. Countless pipes extended from the gun body and connected to Booker's helmet that transformed into a sighting device.
Basically, except for the helmet connected to this giant gun, all the Aegis individual modules on his body were used to assemble this weapon.
Aegis Gorgon form.
The characteristic of Perseus Path is its versatility - as the core, the Aegis individual combat module can be roughly regarded as countless building blocks. It can be assembled into various forms in a very short time according to the user's imagination.
Therefore, in order to classify the strengths and weaknesses of the adjusters of Perseus Path, in addition to their combat awareness, it is more important to see how many forms they can assemble.
From being so weak that even making a dagger lacks strength, to being able to make high-power anti-material weapons, the user's own knowledge limits the upper limit of their respective combat capabilities.
At this moment, the "Gorgon" form that Booker transformed into is his current limit.
Blood-red energy lines climbed up the cannon body, and blue destructive energy swirled deep in the muzzle.
Booker shouted in the teammate communication channel:
[After loading, take it down quickly]
There was another collision of weapons, and Wutou-23 suddenly stopped as if he understood something.
[That guy’s creativity is really good]
He turned to look at Booker, who had his weapon ready, and praised with some emotion.
I had never seen Booker use this kind of weapon before. Jiang Zhou didn’t know what creativity he was referring to, but he still said on the channel:
[So, do you have any last words?]
When the two of them were talking on the channel, Liao Qi jumped back to a relatively safe distance.
[Last words? No, I never need such a thing]
Wutou-23 answered briefly, and then he said:
[However, if you can return to the basic reality alive, can you do one thing for me? 】
[You tell me first, I may not agree]
Jiang Zhou replied.
[You will definitely agree. If you go back alive, I hope you can take care of that bastard Ye Qian]
[I will do this even if you don’t tell me this]
Jiang Zhou answered.
[But if I don’t help, you definitely can’t do it]
Wutou-23 replied.
As he spoke, light flashed in his hand, and a slightly glowing data ball loomed.
[Here is the full set of depth 2 adjustment print permissions for the Path of Theseus. Even if you have Hecate’s blessing now, as the adjustment depth continues to deepen in the future, you will eventually become that bastard’s puppet]
[But if you can bypass him and upgrade and adjust the depth yourself, you can get rid of his influence on you in the future]
Of course, it’s up to you to figure out how to bypass control and surveillance and equip yourself with this set of adjustments.
Wutou-23 said this.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Booker - the heavy hand cannon that had almost completed charging.
Generally speaking, even when its high-speed maneuverability is completely lost, Wutou-23 has a high probability of avoiding that cumbersome heavy weapon just by relying on the mobility of this bionic mecha.
But at this moment, he could barely move.
Aegis Gorgon's form is divided into two stages when firing: the petrification stage and the crushing stage.
The petrification stage, which is where the name "Gorgon Form" comes from - by reversing the anti-gravity system, a strong gravity field within a certain range is artificially created to firmly bind the enemy in place and become a fixed target for shooting. .
This is why, after the opponent's weapons were assembled, Wutou-23 immediately gave up and continued fighting.
When the anti-gravity device was offline and the high-speed maneuverability was completely destroyed, the moment the opponent's weapon aimed at him, the battle was over - he was able to die as he wished.
As for the crushing stage, the microwave launcher is used as the ignition device to ignite the powerful hand cannon, and then...
"Bang!"
[Thank you for what you did in the end, see you in the next hell]
Although he had previously said that he had no last words, Wutou-23 still left such a sentence when Booker pulled the trigger.
…………
Ye Qian did not know how many times he planned to inject "Scavenger" into the opponent's biological brain. But in the end, he once again retracted his hesitant hand.
If it was eventually discovered that he did it, he would be absolutely doomed.
Even if he can tamper with all the records of the third deepest diving chamber and destroy all the evidence that is not conducive to him.
Even though I have a puppet circuit, I can withstand all torture.
But in the end, there is still a risk that he will be discovered - God knows how meticulous the investigation by those in Cerberus can be in order to find out the cause of death of a Depth 4 adjuster.
However, if the other party is allowed to return to the basic reality alive, then all his investment in the path of Theseus over the years will be in vain.
If only this guy could die down there by himself...
Ye Qian thought so.
"drop--"
On the deep submersible that contained Wutou-23's body, the green light monitoring the running status of the stand-in program instantly turned red amidst the piercing alarm sound.
Ye Qian was stunned for a moment.
It was just an extravagant hope at first, but he actually died down there...
Doesn't this mean...
It didn't take long before Ye Qian could figure out in his mind what might be happening next. On the other side of the deep submersible, the same monitoring light turned from green to red amidst the piercing sirens.
What changed this time was the deep submersible that contained "Theseus".
In other words, Theseus was the same as Aconitum-23, and the stand-in program was also destroyed down there?
I was originally going to arrange a recommendation next week, but as soon as the editor saw my miserable update, he immediately canceled it and asked me to come back to him when I can stabilize.
After learning from the pain, I can no longer stretch my hips in June. Go to bed early today and try to get perfect attendance in June.
