Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 699: self conscious

Views:

At this time, the rain was pouring heavily, and countless blue thunderbolts fell from the clouds.

Joshua stood on the ground, and the lightning fell on his side, but could not get close to his body surface. The warrior did not leave any time for the soul puppets around him to react. He directly stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist tightly into the void - On the metal ring that was spinning endlessly behind him, the white gems suddenly shone brightly.

The so-called super power is actually the power of miniature steel. When combined with human life, it can reveal infinite mysteries. Joshua once collected a large number of steel particles in the void. At that time, he noticed it and It is believed that these particles themselves can be fused. As long as many steel particles of the same type are collected and fused, something similar to steel fragments can be artificially created.

The six-color gem is a product of his fusion of steel particles collected in the medical area. This product is very rough and full of experimental ideas. It can only be used once, and then needs to be recharged, but even if In this way, the power of this man-made authority is still so powerful that ordinary people cannot imagine it.

The silver gem represents the pure power of steel, which means the control of matter. It can create and dissociate. The cyan gem is a natural phenomenon. It can create clouds and thunder out of thin air, drop lightning, thunder and fire, and pour heavy rain.

Now, the white gemstone used by Joshua represents pure shock.

As the white light flashed, invisible waves spread, and a high-pitched roar could be heard in the air, like the roar of dozens or hundreds of giant dragons. The surrounding swamp land within a kilometer began to tremble rapidly. In this earthquake-like vibration, The mud trembled and surged into tides. The entire land seemed to have turned into a dark brown ocean. Hundreds of soul puppets trapped in it struggled to escape, but were directly shattered to pieces by the high-frequency fluctuations contained in the mud. Turned into oil parts all over the floor.

"Superpowers...that's what it is."

Joshua stood motionless, watching the superpower he inspired wreaking havoc in the world. He seemed to have some enlightenment, but his expression did not change at all.

But the hunter-killer army did not collapse. They were still advancing. Even though more than three hundred puppets and lightning strikes were swallowed up by the mud and blown up, there were three hundred more behind them, accompanied by the hum of the air being torn apart. These pure killing machines finally crossed the blockade and reached their target.

A giant puppet that is already over five meters tall and is still growing and getting bigger.

This is a mechanical structure that has never appeared in the world of Hyboria. Its entire body is rugged and ferocious. Its arms and joints are covered with sharp blades and horns. On both sides of the helmet, two steel horns protrude like dragon horns. , thunder flowed above it, flashing with cyan electricity, and on the chest of this giant puppet, a golden whirlpool core was rapidly taking shape, and hot breath blew out from it, causing the surrounding rain to evaporate into mist.

It is still getting bigger, and it keeps getting bigger. You can see that under the feet of the puppet, which is standing motionless, the soil is sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. The surrounding mud and sand seem to be attracted by a force and merged into the puppet. His body can be seen, and the damaged puppet fragments in the soil are also being absorbed and become the nourishment of the giant puppet.

A heavily-equipped puppet was the first to break through the blockade of heavy rain, thunder and mud tide. It raised the observation equipment on its head, and what it saw was a behemoth that was twice as tall as them. The opponent clenched his five fingers and waved majestically. A good punch!

boom! It was like a volcanic eruption, the atmosphere exploded directly, and accompanied by a loud noise that was more shocking than the thunder in the sky, the incomparable huge force suddenly spread with the strong wind - just the pure fist wind penetrated a thousand-meter-high cloud in the heavy rain. The cylindrical cavity was 3 meters long, and the violent force even blew up the surrounding mud swamp, exposing the sandstone deep underground!

The heavy-armed puppet headed by it took this blow solidly. The armor exploded and burned on the spot, and the body was torn into pieces. Its parts flew like countless rapidly exploding shell shrapnel. Just these shrapnel knocked down ten people. Several puppets, and even more puppets, whose soul cores were extinguished by the penetrating power contained in the fist wind, were stunned in place, without any reaction.

In the distance, Chariot and the others looked dull. They watched the lightning and thunder around them, and the earth shaking in the downpour. They watched the familiar puppet become larger and larger, and then threw a punch that made everyone tremble. .

Powerful... to the point of being feared.

This kind of power is really too terrifying. A heavy puppet equipped with inert metal armor, even a tank, will take a lot of effort to deal with. This is still a one-on-one situation, but the giant machine only has one blow. , directly paralyzing dozens of puppets.

Moreover, it continues to grow.

"No, be careful!"

Chariot finally came to his senses at this time, and just when he blurted out the warning, a series of completely different tyrannical energy fluctuations suddenly erupted around the huge puppet!

"Application for super unit loading—"

"Emergency protocol passed, overload state activated—"

"The target's strength exceeds the measurement range and applies for full-arms lifting—"

In the hunter army, one after another specially constructed soul puppets paused slightly. Waves of completely different energy fluctuations erupted from their bodies. Immediately, various abilities unfolded in the heavy rain. The hunter army was enough to destroy Siberia's super power. The biggest trump card that the resistance forces have been pursuing to escape all over the world is finally revealed!

That is more than a hundred super puppets with special abilities!

Bang, the air wave surged, and a soul puppet that looked like a birdman was shaken, and its entire body turned into an arrow and rushed towards Joshua. Its speed had already exceeded the speed of sound several times, and the sharp blade of the rapidly vibrating air Extending from the front of its body, it can cut through solid rock and metal.

On the other side, a snow-white soul puppet was covered in shimmering light. An invisible force directly lifted the ground, shaped it into a stone ball weighing tens of tons, and then used it as a meteor hammer to hit the giant puppet. Smashed down.

In addition, there are many strange abilities that are emitted at the same time, such as fire, frost, thunder, acid, rays, dissociation, explosion... With the extremely precise cooperation of the soul puppet, all attacks not only do not conflict with each other, but also achieve a goal. Adding one to two, the aftermath of their explosion spread across the land, whipping up a wild hot wind - dozens or hundreds of extremely fast steel puppets shuttled through the rain and fog, jumped in the thunder and lightning, they exceeded the speed of sound, making the air Letting out a shrill scream, the machine controlling the superpower exploded overload, and then—

They all rushed towards the giant puppet controlled by Joshua!

Seeing this scene, the invisible and explosive people on the side of the tank shuddered on the spot, because under such an attack, no matter how concealed they were, they would not be immune. Even the aftermath of these super powers could easily kill them. Kill them.

But in the next moment, when everyone thought that the giant puppet was in danger, as the strong explosion flashed and dimmed, there was another loud roar, and when the superpower in the distance opened his eyes again, They could only see in utter shock that the soul puppets that rushed forward had been twisted into pieces of rotten iron by a huge force, and the huge puppet was holding another regular machine in its hands. The super puppet, whose body was burning with raging fire, tore it into two pieces with a calm movement, just like tearing open a piece of sashimi.

It can be seen that the Birdman Puppet's head and upper body have completely disappeared. It was pointed at the place where its super power is strongest and most vulnerable. The violent power mixed with energy backfired, completely blowing half of its body to pieces.

The snow-white telepathy puppet was photographed into a ball like a paper version. Two giant hands that it could not shake at all pressed from the left and right, crushing it into thin slices like a hydraulic press.

All kinds of super-powered puppets exploded one after another and were scrapped. Under the swift attack of the giant puppet that did not fit its huge body, the originally menacing puppet army fell into complete chaos.

The so-called "simultaneity" is just relative. For Joshua, the soul puppet's simultaneous attacks are almost all flaws. In an urgent moment for ordinary superpowers, it is enough for him to make several actions. , this was the case just now, more than seven super puppets attacked from the front, back, left, and right at the same time. They felt that no one could deal with these attacks at the same time, but Joshua could. Not only could he, but he could also counterattack one by one in sequence.

You don’t even need to use your superpowers.

A powerful army of puppets met the wrong opponent.

At this time, the chariot in the distance could see that all kinds of superpowers were blasting in the direction of Joshua. Countless strange shock waves, energy beams mixed with strange spirits, and soul waves came all at once. But the giant puppet seemed to have no intention of using any special abilities. Faced with the overwhelming super power frenzy, Joshua simply clenched his five fingers. In the next moment, countless fist shadows were blasted out with extremely powerful wind pressure. , each fist shadow blasted the air, crushing all incoming attacks!

The huge puppet finally took a step. He moved, and the ground shook. Every time he took a step, he flashed hundreds of meters away. Every time Joshua took a shot, he was able to directly destroy a super puppet. He used pure The impact force and various superpowers fight hard, and then crush the opponent without any fancy.

Controlling earth and rocks, breaking them, manipulating particles, blowing them away, creating temperature differences, and crushing them. Due to the huge size and power gap, a giant puppet that has grown to nearly ten meters tall can directly destroy a super puppet by just stretching out its hand. .

The entire hunter army was powerless to fight back, and no attack was effective against the giant puppet. Even if there were occasional special superpowers that could cause damage to Joshua, after a few seconds, the remains of the puppet on the ground would be absorbed. Fusion, his damaged areas can repair themselves. And as almost all the super puppets were completely defeated, other ordinary puppets were naturally reduced to mere targets and were easily wiped out.

"This... is a super power?"

Seeing Joshua almost cleaning up garbage and burying an entire army of Hunters, Chariot stared blankly ahead and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

"No."

As if he heard the other party's question, the burly - or in other words, huge steel puppet did not turn around. He raised his right hand, crushed the second to last puppet in his hand, and then replied in a deep voice: "This is the power of steel. .”

After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand, and the fragmented remains of the soul puppet fell from his hands. Only the light blue soul core fragments turned into smoke and floated in the air.

Due to heavy rain, swamps, thunder, earthquakes, and Joshua's personal actions, the huge hunter-killer army numbering close to 10,000 has now been almost completely wiped out.

When Joshua used his power of steel to activate those gemstone powers, through a familiar yet unfamiliar sense of fluctuation, he completely understood that his power of steel was actually very similar to these powers. Omitting any distinction. The difference between them is that the power of authority is single, but his power of steel has multiple powerful abilities.

Yes, controlling matter, manifesting creation, unparalleled divine power, material assimilation, evolution and transformation, self-evolution... Joshua's power of steel itself represents dozens of powerful superpower aggregates, so in the end, he Simply don't use those one-time super power gems, but use the method you are most familiar with to solve the problem.

It seems to be the use of brute force, but in fact, it is the simultaneous effect of 'self-evolution', 'material assimilation' and other abilities. If it were not for the rapid transformation brought about by the power of steel, how could ordinary steel puppets block thousands of heavy weapons? Pretending to be a puppet to raid

This was the case in the end. Except for the last special puppet that looked different, all the other puppets were torn into pieces by Joshua. No puppet in the entire hunter army could stop the use of pure steel. The powerful Joshua-Warrior even has the illusion that if his power of steel can extract elements of it, then it may be able to extract seven or eight fragments of steel, allowing the owner to master various special and unique things. With such powerful power, even immortality is not impossible.

Thinking further, the Steel Python, who was born with the power of steel, how much authority does this great being control, and how much ability can it be divided into

But just thinking about it, no one except Joshua himself can dismantle his steel power, let alone the world.

With this thought in mind, Joshua came to the last puppet remaining in the hunter army.

This is a very ordinary-looking puppet. At a glance, it is impossible to distinguish it from other ordinary puppets... But for Joshua, who can see electromagnetic waves and directly monitor electromagnetic signals, this puppet releases and There are so many signals received that it is abnormal. It seems to be responsible for the communication of the entire hunter army. All external signals of the soul puppets need to be relayed through it, and all external commands must also go through it. Only after transfer can it be released to other puppets.

In other words, this puppet is the communication center and even the control center of the entire hunter army.

Lifting the giant beast that was strong enough to hold the puppet firmly, Joshua grabbed the last remaining puppet, the core puppet. Its limbs had long been severed by the warriors, leaving only a bare body and a silver light. Flashing between Joshua's palms, the pure power of steel soaked into the puppet's body.

Joshua plans to use the power of steel to directly read the information stored in this puppet. He even plans to reversely trace the existence behind the communication through the unique communication channel of this puppet.

However, just a few seconds after the power of steel eroded the opponent's body, the warrior couldn't help but let out a sigh,

"etc."

Slightly raising the soul puppet in his hand, he seemed to want to take a closer look at the other person's structure. Joshua frowned and whispered in a rather surprised tone: "Is this... self-awareness?"

"The soul puppet can actually develop self-awareness?"
