The electromagnetic railgun's hypersonic projectiles were fired at the Storm Thunderhawk, forcing it to constantly dodge.
The close-range pulse cannon created a death storm of metal and energy, tearing apart the Void God's spatial blade and the approaching minions, the Devouring Beasts.
The mental storm diffuser released invisible fluctuations, effectively interfering with the Phantom Eye's interference with reality.
The clash between cutting-edge technology and biological evolution caused the starry sky to lose its luster and the laws of nature to become disordered.
However, no matter how powerful the Mechanical War God is, its core energy has a limit.
At the same time, they were fighting against eight Calamity-level beings and also had to clear out the seemingly endless tide of beasts surging in from all directions and the sky. Their energy reserves were decreasing at an alarming rate.
"Energy reserves have fallen to 65%..."
"The Divine Realm Shield's strength has decreased to 48%..."
"Missile bays No. 7 and No. 15 are exhausted..."
"Left arm demon-slaying cannon overloaded, cooling system damaged..."
The massive body of the Mechanical War God began to accumulate new wounds, and large sections of the armor plates, eroded by the Law of Withering, lost their luster and peeled off.
The areas hit by the rotting breath emitted hissing blue smoke, and the shield grew thinner and thinner under continuous attacks; the more intense the battle, the more metal was damaged.
Although the eight Calamity-level Devouring Beasts were somewhat weakened, they coordinated perfectly and launched a continuous barrage of attacks, giving the Mechanical War God no chance to catch its breath.
Like a patient hunter, waiting for the prey to exhaust itself before striking.
Chapter 306 First Kill Completed
Inside the control room, Chen Hao stared at the rapidly rising red data on the screen, his face grave. "The energy consumption is too fast. They're trying to wear us down to death."
Chen Yuan stared intently at the battlefield star map, his gaze finally settling on Experiment 19, who was always positioned at the rear, constantly releasing the Law of Withering and directing the battle.
"Break the deadlock, concentrate all remaining energy, and prioritize taking down one target: Experiment Subject 19."
Chen Yuan decisively gave the order, and Chen Xin nodded to indicate that she understood, "Mechanical War God, activate the Star-Splitting Protocol, all secondary weapon systems to contain other targets, primary weapon Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade, prepare!"
"Watch me! Star-Splitting Protocol activated, energy redistribution... Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade, charging begins..."
On the back of the Mechanical War God, the two giant ship-slaying swords, each over 300 meters long, slowly detached from their base and hovered on either side of the fuselage.
Terrifying energy began to rapidly converge on the blade, and the high-frequency vibrations caused the surrounding space to distort. This was the most powerful melee weapon of the Mechanical War God, with enough power to cut through planets.
Seemingly sensing a deadly threat, Subject 19 finally gave up.
His energy wing membrane shattered completely and merged into his body, making his entire form blurry, as if composed of pure shadow and crimson. Only his core eyeball floated in the shadows like the sole coordinate of the abyss.
Third Form: Return to Nothingness - Descends!
An even more terrifying pressure than before swept across the area, and the experimental subject No. 19 was temporarily touching the threshold of the half-step eighth rank.
"Void Realm, unfold!"
Centered on him, a domain of absolute darkness and absolute silence with a radius of nearly a hundred meters suddenly appeared.
Within this realm, light, sound, energy, and even spacetime and the concept of time become blurred, like a miniature universe's end point.
All the ranged attacks that the Mechanical War God launched at him were greatly reduced in power or even completely annihilated after entering this area, without causing any damage.
"In the face of the Void, everything will eventually perish."
Number 19's mental fluctuations carried a chilling indifference, "Your struggles end here."
In this state, the lifespan of Experiment Subject 19 would be greatly reduced, and he would generally not use this trump card.
But now that things have come to this, there's no other way but to act quickly.
He manipulated the Void Realm, making it like a moving black hole, and crashed straight into the Mechanical War God.
Wherever it went, even the divine shield of the Mechanical War God was forcibly eroded, and some of the metal disintegrated.
At the same time, the other seven Calamity-level Devouring Beasts cooperated tacitly and launched an even more frenzied attack, tightly entangled the rest of the Mechanical War God, and prevented it from having a chance to deal with Number 19 with all its might.
The Mechanical War God was suddenly plunged into crisis. Its core energy was running low, its shield was on the verge of collapse, its strongest melee weapon was countered by the enemy's ultimate domain, and the enemy's strongest individual was approaching step by step with the posture of destroying everything.
Chen Yuan looked at the approaching dark domain on the main screen, which seemed capable of devouring everything, and then looked at the pale, resolute faces of his companions around him.
He slowly clenched his fist, and the particles of the nano-core suit gathered in his palm.
"It seems... we've come to this point after all. I hope everything goes smoothly," he muttered to himself.
Inside the Mechwarz, all the remaining weapon systems once again flashed with overload light.
The massive steel body leaned forward slightly, assuming a charging posture, to meet the Void Realm that represented ultimate annihilation, and behind it, the seven approaching Calamity-level beings.
The decisive battle begins now!
The Calamity-class is indeed powerful enough that even the Mechwarz might not be able to defeat it, even with ample energy.
At this point, the Mechanical War God was in extremely dire condition.
On the steel body that stands 1,200 meters tall, huge, jagged wounds are exposed, revealing internal pipes that look like torn blood vessels, with unstable electrical arcs leaping about.
The dark blue energy patterns that once covered his entire body and flowed endlessly have now faded to almost nothing.
The outermost adaptive nanoreactive armor peeled off over a large area, the middle degenerate buffer layer was punctured in many places, and even the innermost self-repairing biometal was about to lose its activity.
The once indestructible "Divine Realm All-Around Energy Shield" that covered the entire body had long since collapsed completely in the previous bombardment, and there was no energy left to maintain it.
The piercing alarm echoed sharply in the empty control room, like a death knell tolling for this steel behemoth.
"Brother, energy reserves are below 8%, which is a critical red line."
"The output power of the chaotic vacuum zero-point energy reactor has dropped to 28%, making it unable to maintain a basic operational cycle."
“Structural damage exceeds 47%, the left leg’s transmission system is severely damaged, and mobility is lost by 87%.”
"The online rate of weapon systems is less than 30%, and the 'Star Rain Vertical Launching System', 'Thunder Punishment Railgun Array', 'Iron Curtain Close-In Weapon System'... are all offline."
The Mechanical War God was already at its last gasp, like an ancient Titan severely wounded and about to bleed to death, continuing to fight only with its indomitable will.
Chen Yuan, Bai Yuekui, Mark, and all the other survivors were too weak to fight any longer. They leaned against the cold control panel and watched helplessly as the eight demon-like Calamity-level beings approached through the huge observation window.
"They were also badly injured..."
Chen Yuan's voice was hoarse, his gaze fixed intently on the images transmitted from the external sensors, analyzing the condition of each Calamity Beast.
"Almost there, almost there... Chen Xin, let us get out of the back warehouse safely, and then we'll go all out to kill the worst-performing Calamity-level enemy."
"Okay, brother, it seems our plan is going to succeed."
Suddenly, two unprecedented, intense lights, like a supernova explosion, burst forth from the majestic V-shaped observation window of the Mechanical War God.
"Energy overload protocol activated...Primary targets locked: Ripper, Rotting Colossus, Mirror Beast..."
"All remaining energy, direct to the Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade and the Demon-Slaying Electronic Siege Cannon... execute... the final elimination command."
The Ripper charged ahead, the most arrogant of them all. Although its severed arm had not yet fully regenerated and its bone armor was covered in cracks, its ferocity remained undiminished.
Six arms, including two newly formed and relatively slender arms, swung wildly, and dark red energy condensed again, naively trying to tear open the last armor of the Mechanical War God with brute force.
The Mechanical War God's response to this was...
The massive body turned slightly to the side, positioning its less damaged right side toward the target.
The base latch on his back unlocked, and he gripped a three-hundred-meter-long Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade, concentrating all his energy into this single strike.
"Stab!!!"
The high-frequency vibration of the ship-slaying sword instantly broke through its limits, and the space around the blade visibly began to distort.
The Mechanical War God used the last of its thrusters for this charge, and its massive body suddenly burst forth with an unstoppable momentum, like Gonggong angrily crashing into Buzhou Mountain with his sword.
"Tear--"
The dark red fission torrent clashed fiercely with the sharp edge of the Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade.
This time, however, the torrent was split in two, but the ship-slaying blade continued its momentum, carrying the determination to cleave through the stars, cutting into the ripper's frantically roaring maw, slicing along the very center of its chest, and cutting all the way to the end.
The sword flashed!
The Ripper's body suddenly stiffened, and the next moment, it slowly fell down, its dark red core shattering. Before dying, it let out an unwilling roar, its head lolling to the side, and its breath ceased.
Chapter 307 All the trump cards revealed
Almost at the same time that the Ripper was destroyed, the rotten colossus, now shrunken, spewed out a dark green, much less concentrated plague virus liquid, attempting to corrode the leg joints of the Mechanical War God.
The massive demon-slaying electronic siege cannon on the left shoulder of the Mechanical War God had already condensed its final, purest, and most annihilating energy at the muzzle.
Without even adjusting the muzzle angle, it directly used its left shoulder armor to withstand a weakened lightning strike from the side of the Storm Thunder Eagle, which exploded into a burst of electric sparks.
"emission!"
Chen Xin's instructions were like a final judgment.
A stream of positron annihilation, condensed like a column of water and exuding an aura that could freeze the soul, shot out silently and swiftly pierced through the rotting colossus's pulsating, purplish-black plague heart, which had been exposed by the previous attack.
The core, struck by the positron beam, along with the surrounding rotten flesh, vanished instantly, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser.
The massive body of the rotting colossus shuddered violently, and the remaining flesh withered and decayed rapidly as if it had lost its support, eventually turning into a scattered cloud of lifeless ashes.
The Mirror Beast "Wanmian" is the most cunning. It constantly changes its form, simulating the Storm Thunder Eagle releasing weak lightning strikes, simulating the Void God to perform short-range flashes, and even attempting to simulate the shape of the Mechanical War God itself to interfere with the lock-on. It is cunning and treacherous.
However, the massive data processing center of the Mechanical War God concentrated all its computing power into one point at the last moment, completely ignoring all its disguises and deceptions.
Chen Xin calculated the barely perceptible energy turbulence and structural weaknesses during each of its form transformations.
Just as the Mirror Beast attempted to replicate the Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade form again, causing a brief instability in its own energy structure, it was caught in the moment.
The battered left hand of the Mechanical War God suddenly opened its five fingers, not using any physical weapon, but transforming the last remaining reserve energy inside the ship, used to maintain basic logical operations, into a massive, all-encompassing mental shock storm in a self-destructive manner.
It is not an attack on the physical body, but rather a direct attack on consciousness and the concept of existence; a mental attack that destroys.
The Mirror Beast, which was changing forms, was like a frozen photograph. All its simulated forms collapsed and dissipated in an instant, revealing its most essential, constantly twisting mercury-like core.
Immediately afterwards, the core disintegrated like a sand sculpture blown away by the wind, starting from the most basic particle level, and disappeared silently and completely under the starry sky, as if it had never existed.
The mechanical war god, having completed these three thunderous strikes, seemed to have had all its soul and power drained away.
The massive body shook violently, the intense light in its eyes went out instantly as if the power had been cut off, and the energy patterns all over its body dimmed completely.
The Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blade drifted away from his helpless hand, and the muzzle of the Demon-Slaying Electronic Siege Cannon went dark.
Then it stood silently in place, like a completely dead steel mountain, without a sound.
