Chapter 144 The Desire to Dissect

Mai Nison was far too familiar with Mechanical Deity. This was originally his trump card, a skill he hadn’t had to use in many years. Now, suddenly seeing Han Xiao also possessing this power, his emotions were immediately thrown into turmoil.

Previously, Mai Nison had still been doubtful, but now he could finally confirm it—Black Star had truly reached his level!

"Unbelievable… This growth speed…"

Mai Nison's eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt.

Considering the age of a Beyond Grade A, Black Star was too young, so young as to be naive, but how could he break common sense and, in just a few years, have his strength skyrocket all the way, completing the accumulation of decades or even hundreds of years that other Beyond Grade As needed?

Could it really be because of talent?

From ancient times to the present, no one had ever possessed such terrifying potential. Mai Nison clearly remembered that the last time he sparred and probed Black Star, the mechanical sense talent Black Star displayed was clearly embarrassing, even making people suspect if he was a fake Beyond Grade A.

If it wasn't talent, what else could it be?

Suddenly, Mai Nison had a flash of inspiration.

Could it be… that Black Star, in addition to the Evolutionary Cube and the Time Amber, had other treasures of the universe?

"No matter what, this growth speed is too strange, there must be something fishy. Black Star must have secrets unknown to others…"

Thinking of this, Mai Nison suddenly felt a strong desire.

—If possible, he really wanted to dissect Black Star and find the truth.

Suppressing the impulsive thought in his heart, Mai Nison’s eyes flickered as he secretly pondered a question:

"Black Star already possesses the power of Mechanical Deity, so has he… discovered the secrets of the Mechanical Church?"

Normal Beyond Grade As didn’t have a panel and couldn't fully understand all their data, so they could only explore the uses of various abilities on their own. Therefore, not all God Seat Mechanicalists could discover the special effects of the [Mechanical Church Key].

If it weren’t for the knowledge passed down from the Mech Race, Mai Nison wasn’t sure if he could discover the bonus brought by the Mechanical Church’s believers.

The current problem was, had Black Star discovered this ability?

All along, Mai Nison had almost monopolized all the believers of the Mechanical Church by spreading the name of ‘Mech Country’, reaping huge bonuses from it.

If Black Star also discovered this point, then he would inevitably become his competitor and an obstacle on his path!

At this moment, the level of importance he placed on Black Star had risen to the highest level!

"I need to increase my attention to him…" Mai Nison narrowed his eyes, expressionless.

…

"God! So big!"

"I… I actually want to worship it, is this normal?"

The scene of the mechanical legion combining and transforming was extremely spectacular, and countless interstellar citizens present showed shocked expressions on their faces.

The Mechanical Deity, composed of two million machines, was enormous in size. Compared to it, Heber was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

It wasn’t just the size; the Mechanical Deity also exuded a strong high-level pressure, making everyone who saw it feel an impulse to submit and kneel.

The appearance could be constantly changed, specifically controlled by Han Xiao's consciousness. The Mechanical Deity was initially a huge silver-black mechanical sphere, like an egg, with countless nano-particles and mechanical structures flowing on the surface, full of mechanical beauty and grandeur.

Under Han Xiao's control, the head, arms, and thighs stretched out from the "egg", and the Mechanical Deity became a humanoid structure. The nano-particles on the face turned into facial features, resembling Han Xiao himself. It looked like a mechanical giant version of Black Star that had been magnified countless times.

Inside the mech, all the independent mechanical soldier individuals had transformed into parts of the Mechanical Deity. The mechanical force chains adsorbed all the individuals, creating a complex energy transmission pipeline within the body, and were also used to control the actions of this big guy, acting like a neural center.

The Mechanical Deity possessed the functions of every combined mechanical soldier and could use them in any corner of its body through nano-particles, and the effects were greatly superimposed.

For example, if it integrated a hundred thousand shield generators, then the Mechanical Deity could also use a hundred thousand shields to protect every corner of its body, or fuse and overlap the psionic shields to form an incredibly amazing super-thick shield.

Han Xiao’s physical senses extended to every corner of the Mechanical Deity's body, as easy as moving his own limbs. It was as if this was his original body.

"This feeling is not bad."

Han Xiao was also using this skill for the first time, and it felt quite novel.

The Mechanical Deity lowered its towering head and looked down on the planet. Its vision passed through the layers of clouds, and its gaze locked on the extremely tiny Heber.

The huge right palm raised and slammed down like a mountain descending from the sky.

The palm broke through the atmosphere, and the edge of the palm rubbed against it, creating raging flames. The shadow covered a large area and occupied all of Heber's vision.

Rumble—

The sound of breaking through the air roared, and the momentum was like the sky falling!

Heber’s expression was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth, casting aside the shock in his heart. He thrust both palms violently toward the sky, and the highly condensed martial arts undulations in his palms burst out.

"Star Shattering Pestle!"

Buzz!!

With Heber’s palms as the center, a ring of scarlet-golden light with a diameter of dozens of meters popped out horizontally. The martial arts undulations swelled violently, turning into a thick scarlet-golden beam with a diameter of dozens of meters, and shot toward the rapidly descending palm of the Mechanical Deity!

The dense martial arts aura was like streams of mist-like streamers, entwining the beam and rising. It was so thick that it seemed to liquefy. A beam with a diameter of dozens of meters wasn’t considered thin, but against the mountain-like huge Mechanical Deity’s palm, the scene was like a toothpick stabbing into a person’s palm.

Crackla—

A large number of mechanical parts moved on the palm of the Mechanical Deity, rapidly transforming into densely packed shield generators. Countless psionic shields were activated, linked, and overlapped, forming a super-large psionic shield covering the entire palm, like a huge gradient psionic blue bubble.

The next moment, the scarlet-golden beam arrived in an instant and struck the palm of the Mechanical Deity.

Boom!!

A hurricane sweeping everything suddenly rose up, and golden shock waves spread rapidly, sweeping across half the surface of the planet. The clouds were stirred up, and the crust was lifted!

Even in space, the golden energy ripples produced by this shock wave were visible to the naked eye.

The huge chain reaction explosion energy group expanded, smashing a large number of psionic shields. The mechanical parts on the surface of the palm melted on a large scale, and patches of crimson appeared. However, the Mechanical Deity’s palm did not stop at all, continuing to press down as if it was holding an exploding light group and smashing it down!

Heber constantly increased the output of martial arts undulations. The blood vessels all over his body bulged, and the muscle fibers in his arms burst one after another, dripping with blood.

However, he seemed to have no sense of pain. His bloodshot eyes stared at the rapidly expanding Mechanical Deity’s palm in his vision, frantically squeezing out all the strength in his body, and all the undulations released through his hands erupted, as if he wanted to resist the downward pressing palm head-on!

The scarlet-golden light beam rapidly shortened, and the Mechanical Deity’s palm finally slammed onto the ground.

At this moment, all that remained in Heber’s vision was a vast expanse of white.

Bang!!

The Mechanical Deity’s palm slammed into the planet, constantly penetrating the earth, forming a deep palm print. The exploding energy group was directly stuffed into the depths of the crust by him.

Cracks appeared in the ground, and dazzling light projected from the cracks. In an instant, the shockwave, enough to shock countless ordinary people to death, exploded on the surface of the planet.

The next moment, the light group completely expanded, and a world-destroying explosion occurred deep within the planet, directly shattering half of the planet!

The collapsing land plates broke away from the planet's gravity and turned into meteorites that shot out in all directions, while the liquid core deep within the planet was exposed. High-temperature magma and stellar core material spewed into space, and the dazzling crimson liquid material rapidly cooled and solidified, turning into irregular black rock plates that drifted in the universe!

In the blink of an eye, the appearance of Planet Black Overlord was as if an apple had been cut out of it!

However, this situation did not last long. The unbalanced stellar core quickly collapsed, and the planet collapsed inward. The second explosion occurred.

Boom!!

The stellar core expanded, turning into a huge explosion light group. All the material that made up the planet was ejected, and the entire planet shattered!

One palm directly crushed Planet Black Overlord!

The energy shock waves from the planet's explosion swept out, affecting the onlookers in the distance.

The shock waves swept through the audience's array, and the spaceships shook one after another, all popping out emergency shields.

"Planet Black Overlord… exploded!"

Although the interstellar citizens watching in space couldn’t hear the sound, it didn’t prevent them from imagining the earth-shattering movement. Countless people trembled instinctively in the face of this terrifying scene, and some even almost lost control on the spot.

This explosion also affected the Mechanical Deity. The psionic shield array covering the whole body was like a dense shield wall, and at this time, a large area was broken, and large areas of molten marks appeared on the surface of the body.

But the next moment, nano-particles flowed on the surface of the Mechanical Deity, repairing the damage. Because a lot of material was lost, the Mechanical Deity shrunk slightly, but the size was still huge.

Many interstellar citizens present couldn’t help but swallow and stretched their necks to look for Heber’s whereabouts.

"Where's the Overlord?"

"Could he have been blown to death…"

"No way, he can crash through planets with his body, a planet explosion can't kill him… can it?"

At this time, the battlefield had become a large newly formed asteroid belt. Han Xiao glanced at it and didn't find Heber's trace, so he looked at the panel.

In the combat information, Heber's health dropped a lot. If he didn't have true damage immunity and fixed damage reduction, this one would have taken half his life. Now his injuries were also very serious, but he still retained his combat ability.

It looked like just one palm, but in fact, this attack contained a lot of mixed damage, including a huge amount of psionic shock damage, as well as the explosion damage of Heber's own trump card, and the damage of a large number of shockwave devices equipped on the palm. In addition, the Mechanical Deity's body had countless output devices, and the force was even more amazing under the mechanical force bonus, comparable to the legendary Interstellar Titans. Therefore, the power of this attack was extremely terrifying, causing a chain reaction on the planet.

Of course, the powerful power was accompanied by huge energy consumption. If Han Xiao didn't have the specialty of mana regeneration, I'm afraid the Mechanical Deity would have become Ultraman and could only fight for three minutes.

Han Xiao was looking for the Overlord's trace, when suddenly, the Mechanical Deity's right arm felt a pain, and a series of explosions occurred from the inside out. The culprit was Heber.

"So, taking advantage of my palm strike, you sent yourself into the Mechanical Deity's right arm, wanting to destroy this huge body from the inside?"

Han Xiao shook his head slightly.

The Overlord's choice was indeed the most correct tactic, and most people believed that the huge mechanical construct was very clumsy, and the weakness was the interior.

However, for the Mechanical Deity, which could transform any part, this law didn't apply.

…

All around were mechanical parts, and the battered and bruised Heber was wreaking havoc inside the Mechanical Deity’s right arm, breaking through all the structures along the way like a hot knife through butter, rushing straight toward the depths of the Mechanical Deity.

But at this moment, the structure inside the arm deformed, and mechanical soldiers assembled rapidly, using the interior of the arm as a battlefield, rushing up to entangle with Heber, hanging on Heber’s burly body one by one.

"Get out!" Heber’s anger erupted, and his protective force burst out, blowing away all the mechanical soldiers clinging to him.

Just as he was about to continue marching forward, his feet suddenly sank. The mechanical structure below suddenly turned into a trap, biting half of Heber’s body into it and fixing it tightly.

Countless mechanical tentacles shot out from all directions, wrapping around Heber in circles—these tentacles were made of nano-materials and used a self-created synthetic material. It had no other advantages, just toughness, and was specially used as a binding rope.

Immediately afterward, the surrounding structure changed again, turning into different mechanical devices. Electromagnetic chains, molecular vibrations, gravity multiplication, space distortion, and other various control skills were released at the same time, all acting on Heber’s body.

Heber immediately felt that he had fallen into a quagmire. Not only was he dizzy, but his movements also became extremely difficult.

At the same time, the nozzles of psionic cannons appeared in all directions, all aimed at Heber, and without saying a word, they concentrated fire overhead, all shooting at Heber's mountain-like body.

The idea of breaking through the Mechanical Deity from the inside was good, but entering the Mechanical Deity's body was equivalent to stepping into the Mechanicalist's home field, throwing oneself into the net!

Heber was blasted dizzy, and his anger value was almost max. He roared angrily, ignoring all kinds of restrictions, and punched toward the depths of the Mechanical Deity's arm with both fists.

"Star Shaking Fist!"

Rumble—

The scarlet-golden beam spurted out, penetrating the mechanical structure along the way and constantly penetrating along the Mechanical Deity's arm.

But when it shot to the elbow position, a psionic shield wall blocked the only way for the Star Shaking Fist, and the Star Shaking Fist directly crashed into it.

Bang!

The light burst, the impact burst, and countless parts were blown away. The Mechanical Deity's right arm was broken off at the elbow!

Heber was also blown away, rolling in the universe. His eyes swept to this scene, and his spirits were immediately lifted.

But before he could get excited, the broken right arm suddenly disintegrated and turned into mechanical soldiers again. Then, the severed arm of the Mechanical Deity shot out dense mechanical force chains, like a spider web, sticking to these mechanical soldiers and pulling them back.

The next moment, the scattered mechanical soldiers combined again, and the Mechanical Deity's right arm reformed!

Heber's expression froze.

"Only the martial artist of the peak Beyond Grade A level has a chance to break the Mechanical Deity from the inside…" Han Xiao took a deep breath, "You can't!"

He didn’t intend to let the Overlord rest. Suddenly, countless psionic cannon nozzles appeared on the front of the Mechanical Deity, and concentrated fire on Heber.

While attacking from a distance, a dense number of thrusters also appeared on the back of the Mechanical Deity, spewing out dense tail flames, pushing the huge body and rushing to the Overlord for close combat!

The huge fist seemed to have a low hit rate, but when Heber dodged the fist, the closest position would turn into a psionic cannon or a new mechanical weapon to attack. Any part could be nano-transformed at any time.

No matter how he dodged, he would always be hit. The difference was just what kind of attack he was hit by.

After barely resisting for a while, Heber couldn't do it anymore. He was frantically beaten by the Mechanical Deity in various ways and became a sandbag that was thrown around.

The many spectators present understood the situation here.

They originally thought that Heber could still turn the tide of the battle, but he was still completely suppressed by Black Star. It seemed that he was powerless to turn the tide.

At this moment, Heber's embarrassed appearance of being ravaged by Han Xiao was imprinted in everyone's heart and could not be forgotten.

The domineering and powerful image in the hearts of many Broken Star Ring citizens quietly shattered.
