Constructs, as the super assassins of the Mechanical System, are unlikely to be natural.
Even the Mechanical Civilization rarely produces them, after all, their destructive power is too great.
On the contrary, the Carbon-Based Civilization, for some unspeakable needs, will secretly cultivate some.
However, do original constructs exist? Actually, they do, but itâs a very small probabilityâsmall, but not impossible.
Right now, here is one such example.
Construct - Gear Machine
Whether Gao Gong or Single God, the hint of familiarity they felt was actually because the two are of the same kind.
And battles between constructs are quite straightforward.
Itâs like two âMechanical Venomsâ entangling each other, not only dehumanizing but also preventing the other from being human.
Gears stack madly, in thousands, in tens of thousands, frantically slicing the Möbius Ring, slicing the Scythe of Death, slicing the crazily extending arms.
Similarly, Gao Gongâs spine has turned into bizarre annular forms, completely wrapping both sides, the rotation endless.
And within the rings, either layers of deadly metal flowers bloom from various parts of the opponentâs body, or it seems like a circle of eerie mechanical silhouettes is dancing a terrifying dance, with every movement causing a gear to shatter.
Battles between constructs cannot be stopped, ending only in the total destruction of one side.
The outcome is not hard to guess.
Constructs on Gao Gongâs body numbered five, whereas the opponent had only one.
So, when the last gear disintegrated, a figure suddenly shot out from the ring.
On the opposite side, the grotesque mechanical construct twisted even further, with countless pieces of flesh writhing and forcibly compressing the strange mechanical body into a human form.
Gao Gong licked his lips, a hint of intoxication flashing in his eyes.
"Delicious."
The death constructs of constructs are easily addictive, and countless mechanical people who followed the path of constructs ultimately turned into outright murder machines.
[You defeated the former Mechanical Martial God - Single God, Experience +500,000, Specialization Points +10, Xiao Family Favorability +500]
Former Martial God?
Xiao Family Favorability?
Gao Gong was already quite interested in the other party, now he was even more intrigued.
He walked up to the other party, standing high and looking down without speaking.
And lying collapsed on the ground, with his whole body rotten and no trace of combat power left, Single God also looked at him with shocked and complex eyes.
"You, you actually comprehended mechanical madness too!"
"You call this madness? Bullshit, even in the Mechanical Realm, this is considered a wonderful evolution."
"How did you suppress your murderous desire?!"
Because I got the perfect version given by the system, plus âBiological Transformationâ suppresses the killing nature.
Gao Gong didnât answer, instead, he thoughtfully said:
"So, you joined the Neuro Editing Group to suppress the killing nature on you with their brain transformation technology."
Single God opened his mouth, didnât speak, evidently admitting it.
"A temporary fix, not a permanent solution," Gao Gong sneered, "If the hardware isnât fixed, what good is clearing the system files every day."
"This kind of suppression is a slow poison, sooner or later, without the influence of the killing nature, your brain will malfunction by itself."
"Work with me, and Iâll show you the true wonders of constructs, guaranteed to make you ecstatic!"
A naturally formed âConstructâ is an extremely rare existence.
In fact, Gao Gong could use him as a blueprint to create his own âConstruct Corpsâ.
He doesnât need to persuade the other party, the twisted mechanical nature that torments him day and night, every moment, every second, is enough to make the other party speak without reserve.
As Gao Gong stepped over him and walked towards the next level, Single God, after a brief struggle, spoke up:
"Be careful of the Special-Level Project, the Sawtooth."
Gao Gong halted his steps, not turning around as he said, "What is that?"
"An ancient large-scale shield machine, Dou spent a lot of resources modifying it into a Civilization Weapon as the last resort."
"When you woke up from the Virtual Space, Dou immediately instructed me to awaken it."
Gao Gong grunted, turned to look at him, a peculiar expression on his face.
"Luckily, you reminded me, otherwise I might have been fine, but you would likely have been in trouble."
Single God froze for a moment, not understanding until he found himself suddenly lifted, and then purple light filled his vision. By the time he realized it, an overcast sky loomed overhead.
He struggled to lift his neck, only then discovering that somehow, he was on the rooftop of a tall building.
Moreover, those previous âguestsâ appeared one by one out of nowhere: Scorpion, Black Python, Mr. Brainstem, Host Brain.
When the last âguestâ appeared, Single Godâs eyes bulged in shock.
Gao Gong was holding his boss, Dou, who was soaking wet and semi-conscious.
"Oh, youth, truly young," Gao Gong lamented, tossing him to the ground.
"Not even a clone double, donât know if itâs bravery or simple incompetence."
"If I act now, your boss will be completely done."
Gao Gong looked toward the Beehive nearby; cracks were already forming from the central avenue, expanding outward with the Beehive as the center.
One can imagine, once this thing surfaces from underground, it might even âconsumeâ the Beehive itself.
Gao Gong did not doubt the âshield machineâs ability, this thing is certainly not the ancient version. In fact, even the lowest level Civilization Weapon possesses astounding destructive power.
However, Gao Gong had a peculiar expression.
The reason is simple, this thingâs effect is very similar to his own product, Level 3 Civilization Architecture - Earth Element Breakthrough Machine.
Oneâs prototype is an âancient shield machineâ, the otherâs prototype is an âancient Earth Core Excavatorâ.
But looking at the effects alone, the former should be a mini version of the latter.
If the âEarth Element Excavatorâ were used, the effect would not just be destroying a building.
Among the several Civilization Weapons mastered by Du Gao Technology, its destructiveness is the strongest.
"So, how do you turn it off now," Gao Gong glanced at the unconscious Dou, "Can killing him do it?"
"It most likely can, but I donât recommend you do that."
"Is it because once this thing gets out of control, it will destroy all âMechanical Brain Transformationâ control devices?" Gao Gong queried.
"Thatâs part of it, but more importantly, inside this boy lies something extremely precious, his horrific talent stems from it."
Having decided to take allegiance, Single God was now completely forthcoming.
"What is it, what is that thing?" Gao Gong asked in surprise.
"I donât know," Single God forced his neck to turn, looking at the âHost Brainâ, "But he certainly knows, it was because of that object that he joined the Neuro Editing Group, he once hinted at me to join forces with him to control Dou, dissect and study him."
"If thatâs the case, then indeed I canât kill him, just, I also canât just watch it destroy the control device group," Gao Gong hesitated, suddenly twisted his face.
"Forget it, Iâll do it myself anyway, I have to try it sooner or later."
Single God was still bewildered when he felt himself being lifted, and then an overwhelming breath far surpassing his prime burst out. His face was full of astonishment, realizing that the other party hadnât yet used all his strength. At this moment, he dearly wanted to see, see what form the other was in full force, but his neck barely obeyed, and the pain left him completely immobilized.
...
When Gao Gong once again arrived at the lowest level of the Beehive, he had entered the Carbon-Based state, was now enveloped in a thin layer of silvery metal over his skin. Although it was metal, it was full of unusual life force.
Biological Energy surging!
Unlike before, in the Great Serpent Mode, Gao Gongâs surface was covered with a layer of virus metal that, regardless of its metallic appearance, was filled with peculiar life force.
Of course, this was because Gao Gong had spent a lot of time and had even completed a Tier 2 - Nightmare-level Task to obtain the super virus metal.
And the simplest and most direct effect of this virus metal was that when he drifted into a metal wall, he actually went right through it.
It was as if the entire wall disintegrated as if chewed by something, dissolving on the spot with only metal liquid left to indicate its existence.
