Lu Ziye charged forward, never imagining that after reaching this level, his progress could be so rapid. The area was teeming with Evolutionary Bodies, their remains covering the ground in a layer of Liquid Metal, creating a black surface that stretched for hundreds of miles.
The terrifying slaughter by Lu Ziye left the nearby Mechanical Pioneer feeling uneasy. It began to doubt its decision; this young man’s relentless killing spree might not be good news after all. Suddenly, a hundred Evolutionary Bodies appeared beside the Mechanical Pioneer, and they were no pushovers. The Mechanical Pioneer immediately launched a counterattack.
At that moment, it heard a booming voice: "Watch out, my lord! I’m here to protect you!"
A chill ran down the Mechanical Pioneer’s spine; those words sounded dubious and carried an air of conspiracy. Sure enough, it saw Lu Ziye swing his Despair Mark Military Knife violently, unleashing tens of thousands of terrifying Energy Sword Qis that ravaged the area indiscriminately, turning the battlefield into chaos.
Lu Ziye's intention was clear: he would eventually confront the Mechanical Pioneer and wanted to test its capabilities first. The Mechanical Pioneer was alarmed but maintained its composure, managing a slight smile. "Thank you for your assistance, young friend."
With a swift motion of its arms, the Mechanical Pioneer summoned a brilliant Energy Disk that rose into the sky, blocking all of Lu Ziye's and the Evolutionary Bodies' attacks. Moments later, the massive Energy Disk seemed to absorb the onslaught and activated its counterattack mode. Thousands of Energy Shells rained down, instantly suppressing several Evolutionary Bodies and killing more than ten in an instant while wounding others to varying degrees.
Lu Ziye realized that the Mechanical Pioneer had some skill but not an overwhelming amount. From the earlier counterattack, it was evident that the Energy Disk struggled to handle his firepower and showed signs of delay in its retaliation. This indicated that the Energy Disk had limits; if he continued to attack, it might not be able to withstand it.
If his strength increased further, the Mechanical Pioneer would not stand a chance. This was likely why it chose to collaborate with him; after all, who would willingly choose cooperation if they could overpower him?
As he watched the Mechanical Pioneer emerge slowly from the explosion's epicenter, Lu Ziye smiled slightly. "You are indeed remarkable, my lord. I was overly concerned; you even came to my aid. Given your strength, these Evolutionary Bodies are no match for you."
The Mechanical Pioneer forced a smile in response. "You flatter me. Your power is astonishing; I fear you may surpass me soon. What are your plans next? Will you rest for a few days before attacking the Evolutionary Nest?"
Rest? There was no time for that! I need to eliminate them right now.
Lu Ziye shook his head. "The Mechanical Beasts and humanity are both in peril, tightly controlled by these Evolutionary Bodies. As long as they remain enslaved, I won’t be able to sleep soundly. No more resting; let’s continue fighting!"
The Mechanical Pioneer was speechless; while Lu Ziye didn’t need rest, it did. It genuinely wanted to take a break but feared revealing its own limitations. It nodded slightly. "Very well then; we shall proceed."
"After you, my lord!" Lu Ziye stepped aside to let the Mechanical Pioneer lead the way.
Together with numerous Mechanical Beast Lords and Elites, they pressed deeper into enemy territory, slaying countless Mechanical Beasts along their path.
Lu Ziye could only watch as his attack speed surged to new heights, his level rising to an impressive rank, and his Firepower Index skyrocketing to billions.
The Mechanical Pioneer pointed toward a distant mountain: "That is the Mechanical Nest of the Evolutionary Body, and beyond it lies the Star Gate leading to Despair."
Lu Ziye gazed at the towering mountain, feeling a deep sense of awe. It rose thousands of meters above the ground, entirely black—just like the exterior of the Evolutionary Body's mech.
Even more bizarre was the mountain's surface, which appeared to be boiling water, constantly bubbling over. Each bubble would burst, giving birth to an Evolutionary Body.
Are you saying that this entire mountain range is composed of Evolutionary Bodies? Lu Ziye found it hard to comprehend.
"Indeed," the Mechanical Pioneer replied. "At the core of this mountain range lies a terrifying entity that allows it to continuously give birth to Evolutionary Bodies. In a sense, you could consider this mountain range as one gigantic Evolutionary Body." There was a hint of despair on the Mechanical Pioneer's face as it spoke; such a powerful entity instilled fear in their mechanical race, making it impossible for them to escape the oppression of the Evolutionary Bodies.
Lu Ziye glanced at his Mechanical Profound Meaning.
【Extreme Overload: Enables the mech to enter an energy Extreme Overload state, increasing the power of all attack weapons by a factor of X for Y seconds. The next Extreme Overload will require waiting for the Energy Core to be ready again; currently, the Energy Core requires a cooldown of Z hours. (This multiplier will gradually increase with the level of the mech's Energy Core, and the cooldown time will also decrease.)】
Y seconds—let's see if I can obliterate this mountain of Evolutionary Bodies. In this moment, he would activate Extreme Overload while simultaneously using Silencing Eye. Once he dealt with these Evolutionary Bodies, it would be time for this pioneer to fulfill his mission and return home.
In the next instant, Lu Ziye's Raider Mech erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations as its powerful Mechanical Core roared into action.
【Extreme Overload successfully activated!】
In the void, Despair Mark swung wildly as a massive Silencing Eye was instantly completed, enveloping all targets within its vicinity.
Indeed, the attack range of Silencing Eye would also increase with enhanced strength.
Within a Kilometer Range, all targets would face Lu Ziye's firepower coverage boosted by X times in that crucial second.
With an attack speed multiplied by Y times and attack power multiplied by Z times, could that mountain withstand it?
The Mechanical Pioneer watched in astonishment as the great mountain began to tremble; bubbles sporadically emerged from its surface, birthing one Evolutionary Body after another.
But at that moment, the entire mountain seemed to go berserk; cracks appeared across its surface as millions of Evolutionary Bodies were swept into the Silencing Eye.
I have underestimated this child after all! The Mechanical Pioneer’s eyes widened in shock as it felt an immense pulling force on its body.
What??? It was incredulous—had it too been locked onto by him?
