Chapter 983
War in Progress : Zheng Zha's Great Freedom!
"But now the raid has failed, and the Decepticons are supported by the AllSpark in the underground space."
"Once I get closer, I can use my mental power to help Chu Xuan and the others."
Zhu Wen agreed after hearing this answer.
At this moment, Zheng Zha was unaware of these changes happening outside.
Swimming freely in the ocean of desirelessness, he finally understood the difference between himself and his clone.
It's not just about strength, but also about the form of consciousness and the intensity of will.
In terms of understanding of the world, it can be said that in every aspect, the difference between the original self and the clone can no longer be called a gap.
It's a chasm.
It's like the chasm between humans and gods.
In this special state, Zheng Zha received a lot of information and knowledge that he did not understand, did not know, or even imagined before.
This knowledge and information was not acquired from the outside world, but rather something that existed in his body, genes, and consciousness from the very beginning.
Under normal circumstances, most people would find it strange to encounter such disorganized and haphazard information.
However, Zheng Zha has no such thoughts at all.
He now takes everything for granted.
This knowledge was innate to him; it was something that belonged to him from birth.
When he unlocked the initial stage of the fourth-order gene lock, the ancient genes that had been dormant deep within his body began to awaken.
These genes have been gathered together over millions of years through the channels of heredity.
They overcame the barrier of time and survived to this day by smuggling themselves across the border.
The revival of individual genes caused changes to the body that was originally called human.
Like a brown-haired youth wearing a golden evolution mask,
Even if you don't think about it, you will subconsciously drive your body to approach perfection and tend towards perfection.
On this journey of constantly getting closer, one's own consciousness is inevitably influenced, replaced, or even completely controlled by the constantly awakened genes.
For example, the powerful killing intent that emerges when one first enters the fourth-order gene lock is one such example.
Zheng Zha strongly agreed with this statement.
But this message is not over yet.
After the fourth-order gene lock, as potential genes are continuously unlocked, fused, and strengthened...
This influence can also be transformed into other special properties.
After accumulating to a certain extent.
That is, the moment one enters the intermediate fourth stage, the most essential substance deep within the spirit will manifest...
This is the individual consciousness's perception of the origin of the universe, and also the light shining on the barrier of the mind.
And it also has another name…
The light of the soul…
Outside the barrier, the consciousness of this body enters a special state.
Success means life, failure means death!
That is, Zheng Zha at this moment.
I am all things, and all things are me!
This was also the last message he received from his consciousness.
Then, before he could continue to perceive the information within the genes, he had already completely succumbed to it.
Zheng Zha knew.
This is a special opportunity.
Do not break or stand.
Once he overcomes and breaks free from this state, his spirit, will, and psychology will be greatly enhanced.
The only benefit of this improvement is overcoming the true fourth-order gene-locking demon.
Truly stepping into the intermediate fourth stage, awakening the light of the soul.
However, this opportunity is also extremely dangerous and deadly.
Because if your willpower is very weak, so weak that you cannot break free or distinguish between right and wrong.
Then your consciousness will completely sink, and when there are no enemies left, your unvented energy will eventually cause chaos in your body's energy.
Finally, he exploded and died, facing death and utter depravity in this state.
What Zheng Zha didn't know was...
In fact, during this stage, everyone's circumstances are different when they fall into despair.
Some experiences are mundane, some are filled with beautiful women, some are filled with pain, some are filled with bliss, but for Zheng Zha, it is freedom.
Unrestricted freedom in battle!
Omnipotent freedom!
Only the strong can possess freedom.
To describe it in the words of Zheng Zha's final consciousness, this is... complete freedom...
-
I don't know when it started.
Zheng Zha put down his shield and longsword, and put away his wings and spear.
At this moment, he looked just like an ordinary person, standing in the middle of the densest concentration of Decepticons.
Like grass in a strong wind, tall bamboo under thick snow, and waves in the ocean.
It appears to be on the verge of collapse, yet it is exceptionally determined.
He lowered his waist and stood at attention, gathered his strength in his chest, shook his shoulders, and then threw a straight punch.
Just like that, a punch without any strategy or method.
There was no earth-shattering sound or momentum on the fist, nor any dazzling light or strange phenomena.
But the moment it came into contact with that thick shield armor, it was completely pierced.
A whole row of dozens of robots collapsed to the ground.
It's just a simple swing, then a retraction, a sidestep, and a step.
The next moves, though seemingly ordinary, were filled with an indescribable rhythm.
It's as if every movement has been refined through countless trials and tribulations, repeated thousands of times.
At this moment, Zheng Zha can not only perfectly mobilize the power within his body, but also generate an additional force.
So much so that control over the body is handed over to the body itself, and even to the more fundamental genes within the body.
It was as if the body itself was free, while Zheng Zha's consciousness was the real constraint and prison.
It is an existence that binds everything.
When the physical body abandons its weak consciousness and thought, what it reveals is a powerful loyalty to itself.
When a person has consciousness, it first needs to be transmitted to the brain through the senses, then it needs to think and respond, and only then can it control itself.
But at this moment, Zheng Zha's body transcended this tedious process.
From sensing danger to responding to danger, everything in between is omitted.
Every move they make!
Every move, every stance!
Perfectly natural!
Nearly attaining enlightenment!
Meticulous!
Absolutely meticulous!
This is also the true face of microscopic observation!
Faced with countless enemies, Zheng Zha's body seemed to be a creature born for fighting and killing.
Judging solely by combat awareness, Zheng Zha is undoubtedly the strongest in the Zhongzhou team right now.
Even as time goes by, with each breath and each heartbeat at this moment.
Each of these can bring about some change to this body.
Even this small change has accumulated into an astonishing level of combat power.
To date, Zheng Zha has destroyed thousands of robots.
Even so, Zheng Zha never used explosions or destruction.
Even the spare energy in the energy storage ring was useless.
This was something Zheng Zha could never have done before.
Such power and endurance are simply unbelievable.
And this was after Zhan Lan saw it.
The main reason for her growing worry was that she knew one thing: every power comes at a price.
You reap what you sow, just like every free lunch in this world.
God has already marked the price with the future.
Perhaps Chu Xuan and Li Xiao also noticed the problem or even gained some insight into Zheng Zha's changes.
However, in this situation, they are also overwhelmed and do not even have the spare time to pay attention.
They could only pray that Zheng Zha could hold out longer, preferably until they could seize the AllSpark Cube.
Because if Zheng Zha can't withstand or attract the attention of these Decepticon robots on the periphery...
They will not only have to face those in the square in front of them, but also countless enemies behind them.
Moreover, the real danger would come once those robots returned to the hall containing the AllSpark Cube.
But here's the problem.
If Zheng Zha continues like this, his personal consciousness and thoughts will probably truly vanish into nothingness and merge into the universe.
Then they disappear forever or become one with the world.
Although Zhan Lan was unaware of this important and fatal information.
However, her powerful mental strength endowed her with amazing intuition.
It was this intuition that drove her to come to Zheng Zha's side.
On the metal ground.
As time went on, Zheng Zha's power redefined these robots' understanding of humanity.
They finally remembered that in addition to close-range attacks, they also possessed a wide variety of ranged firepower.
This also leads to a situation that occurs after a certain moment.
Just as Zheng Zha was about to be hit by countless beams of energy.
When the fleshy wings that had disappeared behind him reappeared.
At this moment, the originally ferocious flesh and blood wings have now transformed into glass wings that resemble works of art, thanks to the advancement of their bloodline.
The blood-red glass was lustrous and jade-like, not appearing bloody or dark, but rather giving a feeling of abundant blood energy and radiant light.
The instant those wings unfurled, a layer of viscous, liquid-like crimson flames appeared around Zheng Zha, and it grew larger and larger.
This flame is similar to the Blood Flame that Zheng Zha exchanged in the Main God Space, but it is also different from the Blood Flame.
Or rather, more powerful.
Because its color is deeper and more concentrated, yet brighter.
But if you look closely, you'll find that the most intense blood color is not the deepest black, but a completely opposite white!
After the flame appeared, it enveloped the protective jade pendant's protective shield.
The originally terrifying energy beam seemed to explode instantly.
However, Zhan Lan, who was already close by, could see clearly that Zheng Zha had not suffered the slightest harm.
Or rather, the damage was extinguished by that strangely colored flame before it could even penetrate the barrier.
gap!
The gap between these robots and Zheng Zha is widening.
The viscous, peculiar flames surrounding Zheng Zha reminded Zhan Lan of a similar entity.
That was the black flame beside the clone Zheng Zha.
The two are so similar, even identical.
-
Underground space, on a metal plaza.
They watched as Chu Xuan's figure disappeared.
Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong were both surprised.
It wasn't the shamelessness of this person who attacked without waiting for a reply that surprised them, but rather the sheer speed of Chu Xuan.
It's even comparable to Zheng Zha's "Shave" in his destruction mode.
Based on their understanding of Chu Xuan, this was a speed that would never occur.
So Li Xiao was stunned for a moment.
However, he quickly figured out what was going on.
It's hypnosis, or rather, the effect of λ-drive.
Just as Li Xiao realized what was happening, the girl beside him disappeared.
Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong acted in perfect unison, almost without any prior consultation.
The two bypassed the front row and attacked the giant mechanical bird in the air and the mechanical leopard on the ground, one from above and one from below.
These two are mechanical behemoths like the Drill Demon; they do not have human forms.
However, it is undeniable that this one is much more powerful than the one that Chen Zilong has already killed.
Of course, this "powerful" doesn't refer to actual ability.
Rather, it refers to the current state of being enhanced by the Spark Cube.
Otherwise, neither of these two types of people would be enough to defeat Zhao Ying in a single encounter.
Although the laser bird couldn't see Zhao Yingkong's movements clearly, it didn't stop its body from suddenly lighting up with bright colors.
(Is it similar to a passive energy defense ability?)
Those who witnessed this scene thought to themselves.
The mechanical leopard on the ground reacted in the same way, except that it was three times faster than the one above.
It suddenly flipped over and leaped up, pouncing as if to attack.
Megatron, who was not far away to the side, closed his mouth, which was about to open, and finally moved with an angry expression.
Enraged, it raised its massive metal hand and slapped back.
But it didn't even hit the target yet.
The two who had succeeded vanished again, leaving only afterimages.
The laser bird, which flew backward, shone bright red, and just as it was about to unleash beams of laser light...
A dark gold staff flew out from the robot and lifted the laser bird, which was poised to fire, onto the dome.
All of his energy was absorbed and disappeared.
The mechanical leopard, which had been knocked into the sunken plaza by Chu Xuan's surprise attack, had just stood up, shaking its head.
Before the energy it had absorbed could be released and recoiled, a three-headed giant dog with blue flames descended from the sky.
Blue, transparent flames instantly poured in, as they surged out from the gaps in the mechanical leopard's body.
The two are already locked in combat.
Leaving aside the battle between the leopard and the dog.
Instead of pressing their advantage, Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong, who had retreated after their initial attack, appeared among the swarm of robots and began an indiscriminate assault.
There aren't many Decepticon elite robots that possess the phase matrix defense capabilities mentioned by Megatron.
Moreover, in just a short while, Chu Xuan discovered this by testing him.
The current Spark Cube is like a large, working battery.
And everything in this metal plaza consists of electrical appliances.
Even the Spark Cube not only provides energy, but also continuously modifies and enhances the robots in these squares.
The most obvious example is in the corner, in the short time since they came in.
A robot that was originally just a car that had awakened was transformed into a futuristic and exquisite machine by the inexplicable energy on the ground.
This phenomenon, which completely contradicts the principles of technological evolution, is constantly challenging the bottom line of the Zhongzhou team.
That is, they noticed this scene.
After determining that the Spark Cube could not be obtained immediately.
Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong instead turned their attention to the other beings in the square.
Two battles broke out in the square.
For a moment, the surrounding Decepticon robots couldn't even see them clearly.
They didn't even have time to turn their guns around.
Then a man wielding two guns appeared before them.
Then the two short guns emitted a distorted, hazy white light. (End of Chapter)
