Oh wow, the case is cracked. Jin Henry's metal half-body, and that infinite energy core, were indeed products of mechanical life forms.
"So, Jin Henry's metallic half-body was also modified by you?"
"I'm curious, what kind of metal is that? How can its hardness reach such a high level?" Lin Feng asked consecutively.
Putting aside other matters, this metal was the hardest Lin Feng had ever encountered.
"That metal is an alloy."
"It comes from the planet where we were born, a product of mixing several different metals," Guang explained.
"If Jin Henry wanted to enhance his physical strength and combat power, creating a full metallic body was the optimal choice."
"However, Jin Henry always harbored a sense of vigilance towards us and was unwilling to be fully transformed into a metal body."
"Does this metal have advantages and disadvantages?" Lin Feng, upon hearing that the metal originated from a planet, knew its production volume would likely not be low.
This material was entirely suitable for crafting weapons or vehicles.
But Guang's next sentence dashed Lin Feng's fantasies.
"This alloy has a significant disadvantage."
"While it possesses extremely high toughness and hardness, its weakness is also fatal."
"That is, once this metal is formed and suffers a penetrating damage, the entire metal product will collapse and be destroyed, losing its original toughness and hardness, turning into ordinary metal..."
That's it?
Lin Feng instantly lost interest.
What kind of cursed characteristic is that.
Although it was quite sturdy, it didn't mean it couldn't be broken, right?
Lin Feng declared he couldn't afford to use this kind of metal.
"Let's not talk about this metal, let's discuss Jin Henry instead."
"Since his metallic half-body and energy core were both modified by you, I think I already know the answer about Deadpool..."
Guang nodded, not denying it.
"Your deduction is correct, leader. That existence they call Deadpool indeed originates from our race."
"However, please rest assured, at the moment of Jin Henry's death, the contract we made has automatically expired."
"Our race will not pose any threat to you."
As if afraid of Lin Feng's misunderstanding, Guang explained quickly in concise language.
Lin Feng, for the time being, believed half of what was said.
Seeing Lin Feng's silence, Guang knew he hadn't fully believed her.
Guang continued.
"Jin Henry's metallic half-body also possessed this drawback."
"But Jin Henry's personality led him to believe that no one would be able to breach his defenses, let alone penetrate the metal that even he himself couldn't break."
"Therefore, he accepted the modification of the metallic half-body."
As she spoke, Guang suddenly glanced at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, in her eyes, was undoubtedly a mystery.
As the leader of a race and possessing the innate talents of a mechanical life form, both her analytical and combat abilities were at the ceiling.
Yet, she couldn't analyze Lin Feng's composition.
Lin Feng stood before her like a stone, impossible to analyze, and she could only infer his current mood from his expression.
"As for that infinite energy core, the energy contained within is not actually infinite."
"That energy core requires our homologous energy for activation."
"However, Jin Henry could not utilize the infinite energy core effectively."
"Under normal circumstances, if a member of our race were to use the infinite energy core, the resulting explosion could be about ten times greater than what occurred previously."
"That is, the final explosion during your battle with Jin Henry."
Guang spoke of terrifying things with a calm, indifferent tone.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
Ten times? Damn, that explosion would be enough to destroy countless parallel universes.
Was this mechanical woman bragging? Ten times the explosion?
Lin Feng didn't voice his doubt, but his eyes clearly conveyed three words:
I don't believe it!
Guang gave a stiff smile.
"Everything I've said is the truth, Lord."
"The immense power of the energy core is a testament to one of our highest technological achievements..."
"That thing is not easily made."
"Its creation is not difficult, but the energy required for its activation is unimaginable, and it also requires our scarce homologous energy for activation."
"To activate it, thirty of our kind reached their end..."
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then said leisurely, "Was it worth it?"
Guang nodded affirmatively.
"It was worth it."
"The sacrifice of thirty of our kind brought about the habitability of our planet and the exploitation of mineral energy."
"Furthermore, after creating the energy core for Jin Henry, it showed us another hope for survival."
As Guang spoke, a light seemed to flash in her eyes.
It was a light representing hope.
"After Jin Henry was modified, the energy core, which could originally only be powered by our homologous energy, was actually able to absorb various other forms of energy to convert into its own power!"
"This undoubtedly showed us the hope of assimilating and utilizing other energies!"
"If we can decipher the principles behind this, we can regain our former glory."
"But..."
Guang paused.
"Unfortunately, we still haven't figured out why the infinite energy core could absorb other energies when installed in Jin Henry..."
"And Jin Henry relied too much on the energy core."
"Or perhaps he never expected that someone could so easily destroy that kind of alloy."
As Guang spoke, she looked at Lin Feng again. Whether it was an illusion or not, Lin Feng sensed a hint of curiosity in her gaze.
"I didn't expect it either..."
"The story I have to tell is largely concluded here."
"Of course, in accordance with the leader's request, many less important details have been omitted."
The remaining events were, of course, Lin Feng's killing of Jin Henry and his subsequent arrival here.
Guang, as Lin Feng had requested, kept it brief.
Lin Feng grunted, surveying the vast cavernous space, finding it cold no matter how he looked at it.
"You're telling me all this not just to show you have no ill intentions, are you..." Lin Feng suddenly said.
The entire story Guang narrated had a core theme that Lin Feng understood.
That is, playing the victim.
Yes, this mechanical life form emphasized their tragic plight from beginning to end.
Born as mechanical life in the universe, they constantly sought sufficient energy to survive, while also defending against external enemies.
Finally, they found a leader, signed a contract, and lived a life that, while simple and ordinary, was at least relatively stable.
They had even found another hope for survival.
But Lin Feng's appearance had directly eliminated this leader.
This was a story that didn't explicitly blame Lin Feng, yet every word implied blame.
