Chapter 213: Chapter 177 Cooperation, powerful 【Unconquerable Instinct】!_1

In the vacant small square, hundreds upon hundreds of mechanical bodies rushed forward like locusts, wave after wave, throwing themselves at the silver-white figure in the center.

Countless beams of energy light interwove, forming a vast net that attempted to trap him securely within.

These fierce attacks landed on the figure—nearly 2.5 meters tall, entirely silver-white, like an iron tower cast from silver—but most of them only scattered as brilliantly colorful sparks.

Few were able to leave even charred black marks or indentations.

The silver-white material on his body flowed, and in the blink of an eye, most of the injuries sustained from the barrage vanished completely.

The over-two-meter-tall, silver-white giant stomped hard on the ground.

“BOOM!”

Instantly, a visible shockwave rippled outward with his footfall as the center.

Large swathes of stone bricks shattered and flew, as if a white wave surged outwards in all directions.

Many mechanical bodies staggered, their attacks faltering for a moment.

In this brief opening, the giant spread his hands and, lowering his body, charged ferociously into the throng of mechanical bodies.

“CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!”

After a few passes, countless mechanical bodies were torn to shreds by his massive hands.

“BANG! BOOM!”

The giant stomped back and forth among the heaps of toppled mechanical bodies as if venting, each step kicking up explosive sparks.

Just then, a voice sounded softly beside his ear.

“What you’re doing is meaningless. Sooner or later, they’ll capture you again…”

“Who?”

The giant paused his actions and abruptly turned his head.

His head also gleamed with a silver-white metallic luster. Apart from his eyes, it was nearly impossible to discern any other facial features.

His nose was merely two small holes, and his mouth, a long, zipper-like jagged slit, only manifested when he spoke.

“It’s me.”

From a chaotic mess of earth and stone debris, a large mass of dark reddish-brown flesh flowed out. It coalesced, barely managing to form a humanoid shape.

“It’s me, Bearman!”

At this moment, Bearman seemed to have unlocked some incredible ability. His entire body was soft and boneless, limp, like a liquid creature. However, he also looked far less dangerous. Standing before the 2.5-meter-tall Moly Demon, he resembled a pile of sludge.

“I recognize you…”

Moly Demon narrowed his eyes at the small Bearman before him. The sound of his voice was like rusty gears grinding together.

“But you look much different from how you were described.”

“To escape from the place of imprisonment, one naturally has to pay a price.” An unsightly smile appeared on Bearman’s shapeless face. “My greatest ability is to change… and adapt!”

“BANG!”

A deep blue energy beam suddenly struck Moly Demon’s head, leaving an indentation several centimeters deep.

Moly Demon’s figure swayed slightly, yet his expression remained unchanged. He merely bent down nonchalantly, picked up a stone, and casually hurled it.

The hurled stone cut through the air with a sharp, piercing whistle, instantly striking a distant combat mechanical body that was taking aim. BOOM! It exploded into a shower of sparks.

“Why did you come looking for me?” Moly Demon asked casually, as he began to eliminate the remaining mechanical bodies in the area.

The latter grinned. “To collaborate,” he said softly.

“Collaboration?” Moly Demon sneered savagely. He suddenly hurled a half-man-sized chunk of concrete mixed with rebar, striking down a drone in the nearby sky.

He turned his head, looking down at Bearman from his superior height. The corners of his chainsaw-like mouth curled upwards as he spoke with contempt and disdain, “With you? In your current state?”

Bearman’s eyes flickered. “Don’t worry, my strength recovers quickly. I won’t hold you back. Besides…”

Bearman glanced at the faint black dots of aircraft appearing on the distant horizon and said lightly, “Do you think you can escape like this? Smokeless City No. 3 is now under complete lockdown. Unless you can break through the outermost super-barrier… Otherwise, you can only rampage here for a few more hours at most. Once Yellow Bear’s elite forces arrive, you’ll be obediently captured again to serve as a dog for their trial assessments! Moreover, because you’ve escaped once, the surveillance level will definitely be raised. The next time you want such an opportunity… it will be even more impossible.”

“HA—” Moly Demon chuckled, walking step by step towards the fountain in the center of the small square.

There, a massive metal sphere, easily weighing several tons, sat as a decoration in the center of the fountain pool. Moly Demon walked up to it. His two arms, as thick as small water barrels, gently gripped the edge of the metal sphere, his fingers sinking into its surface bit by bit…

“Then tell me… your plan!!”

As Moly Demon spoke, he suddenly exerted force with his hands, accompanied by a teeth-jarring screech.

That massive metal sphere was forcefully picked up by Moly Demon and lifted directly over his head.

An intangible, terrifying oppressive force permeated the surroundings. Bearman’s eyelids twitched violently, and he quickly said, “Smokeless City is full of clones and mechanical bodies that don’t fear death. The officials won’t care no matter how much destruction you cause here. However, the newbies participating in this new blood assessment are different. They are Yellow Bear’s fresh blood, Yellow Bear’s future. If one or two die, it’s no big deal, but if too many die, Yellow Bear definitely won’t be able to stand it… If the casualty rate among the new bloods is too high, the Yellow Bear higher-ups responsible for this assessment will also face severe punishment. So…” Bearman twitched the corner of his mouth and said sinisterly, “We just need to capture a few new bloods as hostages. Then we can naturally coerce Yellow Bear’s people into sending a Fly Shuttle to obediently escort us out…”

“HUMPH!” Moly Demon snorted coldly and violently threw the massive metal sphere he held above his head.

The several-ton metal sphere shot out, letting out a tremendous sound as it tore through the air. Bearman watched, wide-eyed, as the metal sphere rapidly dwindled in size before accurately striking a small black dot in the distant sky.

There was no sound, only a burst of fire, followed by the flaming wreckage of the aircraft rapidly plummeting.

“HA…” Moly Demon clapped his hands in satisfaction and slowly turned around, his perfectly smooth face carrying an air of nonchalance.

He glanced at Bearman and said indifferently, “Not a bad plan. It’s mine now. You can scram. I don’t work with trash.”

“UH…” Bearman’s eyes shot wide open. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, “No! Without my help, this plan’s success rate won’t exceed ten percent…”

“HUH?!” Moly Demon whirled around, eyes narrowed, staring coldly at Bearman. His massive, imposing body cast a shadow that completely enveloped Bearman.

A terrifying oppressive force surged towards him, wave after wave, like a tide.

“Are you saying… I’m stupid?”

Bearman’s expression froze. His already limp body now looked as if it would melt in the next second. He gasped for breath and spoke rapidly, “I know Yellow Bear’s group very well; I’m good at negotiating with them. And, most importantly…” Bearman seemed to recall something, his eyes flickered, a hint of cunning flashing through them. “There’s an unprecedented S-rank new blood in this assessment. Even if Yellow Bear truly doesn’t care about all the other new bloods in this assessment, they absolutely will not give up on him! As long as we capture this person, our bargaining chip will be substantial enough. I know his location. Cooperate with me, and I’ll take you to capture him…”

“S-rank new blood?”

“Correct! My escape this time was actually related to this S-rank new blood…”

Moly Demon looked down coldly at Bearman. The latter braced himself, met his gaze directly, and boldly displayed his ’sincerity.’ Half a minute later, the faint WHIRRING of an approaching Fly Shuttle could be heard from the sky.

Moly Demon’s gaze finally softened.

“I hope you haven’t lied to me. Otherwise… I swear, your death will be excruciating.”

“Rest assured. We’ll definitely be the best duo in the world.”

Bearman grinned, and his soft body began to squirm rapidly. WHOOSH! He shot onto Moly Demon’s enormous silver-white body, clinging tightly to his shoulder like a pouch.

Moly Demon snorted coldly. Then, fixing his gaze in one direction, he strode off. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! His great strides carried him away.

He maintained a straight path; any buildings blocking his way were forcefully smashed open, just like a rampaging armored tank…

「…….」

Lu Yuan slowly extended his palm into the Power Field, which was already almost completely filled with a dense yellow light.

An indescribable, heavy pressure immediately bore down on the surface of his hand.

It felt as if his palm was being pressed down by an iron block weighing ten thousand tons, making it impossible to move even a fraction of an inch.

Lv1 [Unconquerable Instinct] activated!

In that instant, the instinct of his primal nature took over Lu Yuan’s body. He fell into an indescribable, wondrous state, and his body reacted immediately.

The hand that had entered the Power Field and was being firmly ’pressed’ down now seemed to be melting like water. Trying to withdraw it now was much easier.

A strange light flickered in Lu Yuan’s eyes. I see… The changes his body underwent within the two-hundred-fold Power Field after activating [Unconquerable Instinct] made him recall Bearman’s performance when escaping that same field.

Reaching some limit of force mitigation… imitating and replicating Bearman’s ability… Is this the effect of [Unconquerable Instinct]? Lu Yuan pondered.

[Unconquerable Instinct] was one of the main reasons he could survive the Power Field that had suddenly intensified to two hundred times normal gravity. Combined with how activating [Unconquerable Instinct] had previously allowed him to easily grasp Spirit Crane True Intention, Lu Yuan felt he was beginning to understand the role of [Unconquerable Instinct]—the third class core of a Fighter.

It’s like a ’cheat engine’! No matter what powerful enemy or difficult situation I encounter, as long as this skill is activated, I can instantly ’entrust’ my body to the primal instincts hidden deep within.

Instinct will, based on my current circumstances, produce the most ’optimal’ solution in the shortest possible time!

So, it’s only after activating [Unconquerable Instinct] that my combat power is at its strongest. My abilities are developed to their utmost by instinct, and all aspects of my attributes are completely maxed out… Through various combinations of abilities, even evolution… I can unleash combat power several times, even ten or more times, greater than my normal state!

This is too powerful! Lu Yuan’s mind trembled slightly.

Truly worthy of being the Fighter’s third—and perhaps final—class core. This was only Lv1, yet its power was already somewhat unbelievable.

The only thing that left Lu Yuan dissatisfied was that after activating [Unconquerable Instinct], when instinct took over his body and comprehended certain techniques, he wasn’t necessarily able to grasp them himself after exiting the [Unconquerable Instinct] state. For example, that abnormal technique of ’extreme force mitigation’ used to survive in the two-hundred-fold Power Field.

Lu Yuan was completely unable to replicate it in his normal state. I’ll just have to practice more. If I can use it freely in my normal state, my combat power will rise by another major step.

Compared to the Extraordinary effects of [Unconquerable Instinct], the fact that all three of Lu Yuan’s body cultivation methods had broken through by one level each seemed relatively unimportant.

[Strength: 18]

[Agility: 19]

[Constitution: 20]

[Intelligence: 18]

These were Lu Yuan’s current Four-dimensional Attributes. His three body cultivation methods had already been close to leveling up. The sudden application of two hundred times gravity, catalyzed by [Unconquerable Instinct], caused all three to break through simultaneously.

[Ten Thousand Refining Body] reached Lv3, [Steel Bone] also reached Lv3, and [Spirit Crane Body], originally Lv4, rose to the maxed-out Lv5. The breakthroughs in these three body cultivation methods also increased Lu Yuan’s Strength and Agility attributes by 1 point each.

His Basic Punch Strength reached three tons, and his control over his body was enhanced. Furthermore, the improvement in these two attributes also caused Lu Yuan’s development level of the [Ultimate Outburst] skill to jump significantly.

Even some peculiar changes occurred in his body.
