Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Energy – completely depleted.

Under the starry sky, the five remaining Calamity-level Devouring Beasts—Experiment No. 19, Illusion Eye, Storm Thunder Eagle, Lava Core Beast, and Void God—halted their attacks. Their auras had also weakened considerably due to the fall of their companions and their own injuries, and for the first time, disbelief and deep fear were revealed in their eyes.

They stared at the steel behemoth that had lost all energy but still stood defiantly, and for a moment, they dared not approach it.

They are now in a strange situation, while Chen Yuan and the others had already safely evacuated through the rear hatch during the battle.

"What are you waiting for? They're completely finished."

Subject 19, in its Void form, slowly writhed, a triumphant smile of complete control emanating from its core eyeball.

"It's over, you ants. Your struggles and your so-called hopes are ultimately just nourishment for our Lord (Mana Ecology)."

His mental fluctuations carried an indifferent detachment, looking down upon all living beings: "Now... welcome your death."

The other four Calamity Beasts—Phantom Eye, Storm Thunder Eagle, Lava Core Beast, and Void God—also let out low, malicious smiles, their broken bodies gathering power anew, preparing to launch a final attack to completely annihilate humanity.

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Naive. You are the ones who should be facing death..."

Just moments before the five Calamity Beasts were about to launch their attack.

Boom!

An energy fluctuation, far more powerful than that of the first Mechanical War God at its peak, seemingly originating from the depths of the star's core, burst forth from the earth's crust beneath their feet without warning.

Immediately afterward, amidst the horrified mental perceptions of Experiment Subject 19 and other Calamity Beasts, the second Mechanical War God appeared.

"what?"

Subject 19 and others were shocked; this was the worst outcome they had not anticipated.

If two Mechanical War Gods had been sent out from the beginning, Experiment 19 and others would have definitely used the beast tide to exhaust their energy. Chen Yuan was just being cunning.

Boom! ! !

“Impossible…” Storm Thunderhawk let out a sharp screech.

"This...this is..."

Bai Yuekui looked at the brand-new steel behemoth, her beautiful eyes filled with hope. Chen Yuan had actually kept it a secret from everyone, but this was a good thing.

Chen Yuan slowly raised his head, looking at the trump card he had reserved, and said softly, "Since we don't know who is friend or foe, we should save our trump cards for last. The Mechanical War God... there's more than one of them."

This second mechanical war god is fully loaded with energy cores, possessing energy reserves in the tens of trillions of kilobytes.

The majestic head's observation window glowed with a cold blue light, locking onto the five calamity beasts ahead.

"Threat confirmed: five Calamity-level life forms, remnants of the beast tide."

"Execute the highest priority command: Eliminate all threats."

"The Divine Punishment Weapon Array is fully activated!"

Without giving the enemy any time to react, the second Mechanical War God, humanity's ultimate weapon in perfect condition, launched a ferocious attack like a galaxy pouring down.

The Storm Thunderhawk reacted the fastest, screeching as it climbed higher, triggering a thunderstorm attack on the Mechanical War God.

The Demon-Slaying Electronic Siege Cannon on the right shoulder of the Mechanical War God was instantly fully charged. A stream of positron annihilation, several times thicker than before, was like a divine punishment spear. It struck first, not aiming at the body, but rather predicting the trajectory of the Storm Thunder Eagle's evasion and shooting towards the airspace it was about to reach.

As if it had run into a beam of destruction, the Storm Thunderhawk's lightning wings instantly vaporized in the annihilation stream, exposing its core.

Immediately afterwards, the left arm of the Mechanical War God rose, and the Thunder Punishment Orbital-class Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon fired at supersonic speed.

Three super-heavy projectiles, arranged in a triangular pattern, pierced its unprotected core at near-light speed.

The Stormhawk, the ruler of the sky, exploded in mid-air with a short, mournful cry, transforming into a brief shower of thunder and fire.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the lava core beast tried to burrow into the crust of the planet below to escape.

The massive stabilizing stakes at the feet of the Mechanical War God suddenly sprang out, carving deep into the void like giant nails, utilizing gravity anchoring technology. At the same time, the large gravity anchoring generator on its chest was activated at full power.

A terrifying gravitational field instantly enveloped the Lava Core Beast and a large area around it, as if an invisible giant hand was pressing it firmly to the spot, and even space itself seemed to be frozen.

"Judgment Spear Electromagnetic Railgun Array Saturation Strike!"

Countless high-speed projectiles, like a metallic storm, covered the lava core beast, which was imprisoned by the gravitational field, and riddled its hardened shell with holes.

Finally, the mechanical war god raised its massive right foot, and a powerful flow of energy erupted from the jets beneath its feet, slamming down like a real mountain.

boom! ! !

Bound by gravity and battered by bullets, the lava core beast crushed and collapsed the small continental shelf below it under this absolute power, burying it deep within the earth's crust, leaving it with no chance of life.

Huan Tong frantically activated all her eyeballs, pushing her abilities to their limits.

"Reality intervention, kaleidoscope barrier!"

They created layers upon layers of spatial labyrinths and illusionary realms that were difficult to distinguish from reality to protect themselves.

However, its illusionary effect was greatly diminished when faced with the second mechanical war god, which was fully powered and had all its sensors activated.

From the bow of the Mechanical War God, an invisible wide-area scanning beam shot out from the V-shaped observation window, instantly analyzing the energy structure of all the illusions.

Chapter 308 Clearing the Last Beast Tide

"Mental Storm Diffuser, Directional Focusing Mode".

An extremely concentrated spiritual impact, like an invisible drill, pierced directly through the kaleidoscope barrier of the Illusionary Eye and accurately struck its enormous main eye.

"what……!"

The phantom eye let out a painful shriek, all its secondary eyes dimmed instantly, and its primary eye dripped with a seven-colored energy liquid.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mechanical War God drew one of the Star-Splitting Ship-Slaying Blades that was floating on its back, transforming it into a cold light that tore through space, and completed the thrust with a speed beyond the reach of thought.

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced the very center of Illusion's main eye, whose defenses had been greatly weakened due to the injury. High-frequency vibrational energy erupted instantly, completely shattering all of its eyeball structures and spiritual core from the inside.

Huan Tong's twisted body stiffened for a moment, then shattered like broken glass, turning into countless colorless energy specks that scattered across the sky.

The illusory god is the most troublesome. Seeing its companions fall one after another, its figure constantly flickers between reality and illusion, making spatial jumps to escape. When it can no longer avoid it, it directly teleports into the mechanical war god's interior.

The second mechanical war god was prepared for this, mobilizing enormous energy to lay down an invisible net around itself and in the area where the illusory god might flicker, consisting of miniature spatial stabilizing anchors and phase interference fields.

Each transfer of the illusory god became extremely difficult and slow, as if sinking into a sticky quagmire.

"Spatial coordinates captured... Calculation complete... Spatial folding, binding force field!"

The Mechanical War God, with its hands clasped in front of it, activated its powerful spatial abilities, forcefully squeezing the illusory god that was trying to escape into the void from the higher-dimensional phase, imprisoning it in a folded, narrow space of reality.

The ethereal divine energy body struggled frantically within the confinement field, unable to break free even with all its strength.

Then, the Mechanical War God raised its other arm, its palm facing the imprisoned Void God.

"Corona-class heavy particle beam cannon, secondary mode... Energy injection..."

Another condensed beam of particle light shot out, forcefully penetrating the folded and confined space.

Within the confined space, energy instantly overloaded and went out of control. The folded space expanded violently like an inflated balloon, then silently collapsed inward, annihilating the trapped ethereal god into a brief, miniature singularity before completely subsiding and turning to ashes.

Beneath the starry sky, the remaining beast tide, having lost the guidance of the Emperor-level and Calamity-level beasts, fell into immense chaos and panic.

Now, only one Calamity-level artifact remains.

Hovering in the distance, the shadows beneath the Void Form surged continuously, and the core eyeball was filled with shock, anger, and a hint of disbelief in Experiment Subject 19.

His eyes were fixed on the second mechanical war god, which was surging with energy and looked like a newborn. He still couldn't accept that humanity had actually turned the tide.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Die, all of you!!"

Subject 19, in a fit of rage, unleashed his full power, releasing a powerful mental wave that swept through the remaining beast horde like a plague:

"My Lord's children, offer up everything you have, with your flesh and blood and essence, to overwhelm it, consume it, and clear away all obstacles for my Lord."

In an instant, the beast tide, which had been plunged into panic and chaos due to the successive deaths of the Calamity-level beasts, seemed to be injected with a frenzied stimulant again.

More than 20 million Devouring Beasts of various forms... from the most basic snake-dog and earth-roaring beasts to the enormous mutated forms, and even a few remaining monarch-level beasts.

Their eyes turned crimson in an instant, their reason completely devoured by the primal desire for destruction, transforming into an endless, roaring, and deafening tidal wave of flesh and blood, like a bursting Styx, launching a suicidal charge on the second mechanical war god from all directions.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan frowned. "Trying to use sheer numbers to deplete the mechanical war god's energy... it's ruthless, but it's also a calculated move."

"There's no way to take shortcuts. Chen Xin ordered the Mechanical War God to execute the purification protocol, targeting all non-our units and completely eliminating them, leaving no one alive."

"Okay, brother, the purification protocol has been activated, leaving no one alive."

The second mechanical war god, possessing tens of thousands of trillions of core energy, unleashed its full firepower in the face of the surging tide of flesh and blood.

No longer limited to a single main gun or ship-slaying sword, but instead using a variety of weapons in turn.

Faced with the first wave of invasive beasts, such as snake dogs and earth howls, which approached like a black carpet, the tens of thousands of Iron Curtain Close-In Defense Pulse arrays around the Mechanical War God opened fire first.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

The pulse beams, so dense that individual sounds were indistinguishable, formed a metallic storm of absolute death.

Every few seconds, thousands upon thousands of Devouring Beasts are blasted into pieces by this dense barrage of bullets, turning into blood mist and corpses.

Dozens of pulse beams, like the scythe of death, cleared out vacuum zones at the forefront of the beast tide, zones that were constantly being created and filled.

At the same time, the small rapid-fire particle turrets scattered throughout the ship also began to fire. These turrets had an extremely high rate of fire and relatively low energy consumption, and were specifically designed to kill those agile flying Devourer Beasts that broke through the pulse barrage.

Countless thin yet deadly beams of particle light intertwined in the air, forming a net that would kill any individual daring to leap out of the beast tide.

Against mid-range hordes of beasts, and those tough-skinned, mutated Devouring Beasts, the Starburst Multipurpose Missile Vertical Launching System demonstrates its terrifying firepower delivery capability.

"Boom!"

Thousands of missile launch silos opened simultaneously, and the next moment, missiles shot into the sky like a meteor shower flying in reverse, trailing colorful plumes of flame.

They intelligently decouple after reaching the target area:

High-explosive warheads rained down on the densest part of the beast tide, and huge fireballs rose into the air, the shockwaves tearing the Devouring Beasts within range to shreds.

Armor-piercing warheads precisely target heavily armored metamorphic targets, penetrating their relatively vulnerable joints or abdomens, then detonating internally to shatter them into pieces.

The cluster munitions disintegrate in mid-air, scattering countless smaller warheads for a secondary coverage to clean up any remaining ones.

The EMP warheads detonate in areas with a high concentration of Energy Devourers, instantly paralyzing their mobility with invisible electromagnetic pulses, turning them into lambs to the slaughter.

That wasn't all; the Thunder Punishment Orbital-Class Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannons located at the major joints of the limbs also began to unleash their power.

The super-heavy tungsten alloy projectiles, launched at near the speed of light, can pierce through dozens, even hundreds, of Devouring Beasts lined up in a straight line, like a string of candied hawthorns, carving out shocking blank paths in the beast tide.

When the beast horde, disregarding casualties and braving the barrage of fire, closed in to a certain distance, the Mechanical War God deployed even more advanced weapons.
