Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 711, Floor 94 (13)

The mass of silvery-gray liquid metal, in the instant it dodged the attack, rapidly coalesced, reforming into a humanoid outline, retaining its original height and size. The liquid metal on its surface flowed slowly, returning to calm, without any damage. Then, it finally launched its counterattack. Without any warning or sound, one of its arms instantly extended and hardened, transforming into a sharp metal blade 1.5 meters long, gleaming with a cold light, slashing towards the neck of the bio-mechanical hybrid on the far left, which had not yet risen from the ground. The speed was extremely fast; in an instant, it had already struck its target. With a crisp "crack," the metal blade easily pierced through the scales and alloy armor of the bio-mechanical hybrid's neck, completely severing it. Dark red blood gushed out instantly, spraying onto the ground, emitting a strong stench of blood. The mechanical circuitry in its neck was also completely severed, emitting faint sparks.

The biomechanical hybrid let out a shrill roar mixed with the sound of mechanical electricity. Its massive body stiffened abruptly, the red mechanical eyes in its eyes went out instantly, and its previously waving forelimbs slowly drooped down. Then, its body slowly collapsed, landing on the ground with a heavy thud, completely lifeless. Dark red blood continued to flow from the wound on its neck, soaking the gravel and dust on the ground. Its tail twitched slightly a few times before becoming completely still.

The two bio-mechanical hybrids in the middle and on the far right, seeing their companion instantly killed, shone even brighter with their red mechanical eyes. Their ferocious roars returned, and their attacks became even more ferocious. The middle bio-mechanical hybrid swung its thick forelimbs again, its sharp metal claws reaching for the liquid metal humanoid's torso. Simultaneously, its tail lashed out, a long mechanical whip with sharp metal spikes lashing towards the liquid metal humanoid's back, creating a pincer attack. The rightmost bio-mechanical hybrid fired two dark red energy projectiles in quick succession, striking the liquid metal humanoid with incredible speed, covering its entire body and giving it no chance to dodge.

The liquid metal humanoid remained calm. With a slight movement, it transformed back into a mass of silvery-gray liquid metal, dodging the claws and mechanical whip of the central bio-mechanical hybrid, as well as the two energy projectiles fired by the rightmost bio-mechanical hybrid. The two energy projectiles missed their target, striking the central bio-mechanical hybrid directly in the back. With two muffled booms, the energy projectiles exploded instantly, releasing dark red energy shockwaves. The scales and alloy armor on the central bio-mechanical hybrid's back were instantly blasted apart, fragments flying everywhere, and dark red blood gushed out. It let out a shrill roar, its massive body staggering forward several steps. Clearly, being struck by the energy projectiles fired by its own comrade had caused it considerable damage.

Just then, the mass of silvery-gray liquid metal rapidly coalesced again, solidifying into a humanoid outline. Then, its body instantly activated its short-range dash ability, transforming into a silvery-gray streak of light, appearing in front of the injured bio-mechanical hybrid in the center in a flash. Before the bio-mechanical hybrid could react, the liquid metal humanoid's two arms instantly hardened, transforming into two sharp metal blades, simultaneously stabbing towards its chest with incredible speed and force. With two crisp "crack" sounds, the two metal blades easily pierced through the scales and alloy armor on its chest, penetrating its body and completely piercing and tearing apart its internal organs and mechanical circuitry. The bio-mechanical hybrid in the middle let out a final, mournful roar. Its massive body stiffened abruptly, the red mechanical eyes in its eyes went out instantly, and its waving forelimbs and tail slowly drooped down. Then, its body slowly collapsed, landing on the ground with a heavy thud, completely losing its vitality. Dark red blood and internal mechanical parts flowed continuously from the wound on its chest, staining the ground.

The last biomechanical hybrid, seeing its two companions instantly killed, showed no sign of retreat. It let out an extremely ferocious roar, its massive body leaping forward as it lunged at the liquid metal humanoid. At the same time, its mouth opened wide, its sharp fangs gleaming with a cold light, as if it wanted to tear it apart in one bite. The energy emitter on its head also instantly charged up, ready to fire its strongest energy blast, sacrificing itself to take this powerful enemy down with it.

The liquid metal humanoid's simulated head slightly turned, locking onto the oncoming bio-mechanical hybrid. Then, its body slightly crouched, its legs instantly hardening and becoming exceptionally thick. With a sudden burst of power, it slammed a punch into the hybrid's head. This punch, seemingly slow, carried immense force. The liquid metal on its fist had completely hardened, reaching its maximum hardness, gleaming with a cold metallic luster. With a deafening roar, the fist slammed heavily into the hybrid's head. The powerful impact exploded instantly, shattering the hybrid's head into pieces. Scales, alloy fragments, dark red blood, and internal mechanical parts flew everywhere, crashing to the ground with a crackling sound. The red mechanical eye in its eye instantly went out, extinguishing all light.

The massive body stiffened abruptly the moment its head was severed, then slowly collapsed onto the ground with a heavy thud, completely lifeless. The energy transmitter on its head, before it could even fire an energy blast, was utterly destroyed, emitting only faint sparks before falling silent. Thus, the three powerful bio-mechanical hybrids were utterly destroyed by the liquid metal humanoid, leaving no survivors. On the ground, only three enormous wrecks remained, dark red blood flowing across the surface, mingling with rubble, dust, and mechanical parts, emitting a pungent, acrid smell of blood and rust.

The liquid metal humanoid slowly retracted its fist, the liquid metal on it flowing gently back to its original form. Its body remained undamaged, maintaining its complete humanoid silhouette. Its simulated head turned left and right a few times, observing its surroundings. Confirming there were no other enemies, it lifted its foot again and continued its steady march, stepping directly over the debris and bloodstains on the ground without encountering any hindrance. Its pace remained even and its speed slow, as if the fierce battle just moments before was a trivial matter, having no effect on it whatsoever. It remained focused on its search mission, looking for the unknown target, without the slightest distraction.

Further into the upper city, the surrounding environment became even more dilapidated. More skyscrapers had collapsed, some even completely razed to the ground, leaving only huge piles of architectural wreckage blocking the entire street. The stench of blood and decay in the air became even stronger, almost suffocating. Occasionally, the sounds of machinery in operation, the roars of creatures, and the rumble of collapsing buildings could be heard in the distance. These sounds intertwined, breaking the deathly silence of the ruins, but also making this place even more dangerous and eerie.

The liquid metal humanoid continued its steady advance, its form like a ghost in the dim ruins, silent and unimpeded. It traversed collapsed buildings, trodden shattered streets, and leaped over piles of debris, each step resolute and unwavering, without hesitation or pause. Along the way, it encountered more out-of-control mechanical sentinels and bio-mechanical hybrids: swarms of basic mechanical sentinels, lone heavy mechanical sentinels, enormous and ferocious bio-mechanical hybrids, and groups of reconnaissance mechanical sentinels. They all launched attacks on the liquid metal humanoid, determined to utterly destroy this strange intruder.

No matter how many enemies it encounters, or how powerful they are, the liquid metal humanoid can easily destroy them. Facing hordes of basic mechanical sentinels, it shows no mercy. Its body softens at times to evade their attacks, absorbing and reflecting their energy attacks; at other times, it hardens, transforming into sharp metal blades that easily slice and tear them apart. In just a few seconds, it can completely destroy dozens of basic mechanical sentinels, leaving only a pile of broken alloy fragments and parts on the ground. Against lone heavy mechanical sentinels, it still holds an absolute advantage. The heavy mechanical sentinels' alloy hammers only cause a brief deformation before quickly returning to their original shape, while a single punch can shatter the heavy mechanical sentinel's alloy armor, and a single claw can tear its body apart. Even the powerful energy blasts fired by the heavy mechanical sentinels are only absorbed or reflected, unable to cause any damage. Ultimately, the heavy mechanical sentinels are also... They can only become stepping stones in its path, utterly destroyed; facing the enormous and ferocious bio-mechanical hybrids, it remains calm and composed. No matter how ferocious their attacks, they cannot hit it, but are easily evaded. Then, it seizes the opportunity to launch a fatal blow, smashing their bodies to pieces with its hardened body and tearing them apart with its sharp metal blades. Even the most powerful bio-mechanical hybrids cannot withstand its attacks for more than ten seconds, and in the end, they will only turn into a pile of wreckage scattered on the ground; facing swarms of reconnaissance mechanical sentinels, it is even more effortless. The reconnaissance mechanical sentinels have weak attack power and cannot cause it any damage. It only needs to wave its hand, and its hardened arm can crush them all or crush them into scrap metal with its body, giving them no chance to call their companions.

The carnage never ceased along its path. Wherever the liquid metal humanoid went, only carcasses and bloodstains remained. Out-of-control mechanical sentinels and bio-mechanical hybrids were easily destroyed like ants. Nothing could block its advance, nothing could inflict any effective damage. It made no sound, no roar, no howl, not even a breath; only silent destruction, silent advance, silent search. Its figure, in the dim ruins, appeared exceptionally cold, exceptionally eerie, and exceptionally chilling. It was like a killing machine from hell, leaving nothing but devastation and carnage in its wake, turning this already barren wasteland into an even more terrifying slaughterhouse.

Unbeknownst to them, the liquid metal humanoid had penetrated deep into the Upper City, arriving at a former core area. Here stood several relatively intact skyscrapers, still dilapidated, their walls riddled with cracks and their glass curtain walls mostly shattered. However, compared to the surrounding collapsed buildings, they were relatively well-preserved. These skyscrapers soared into the clouds, their tops obscured by the dim sky, their full forms hidden from view. Between the buildings, several sections of intact sky bridges remained, suspended in mid-air like bridges connecting to heaven, yet they were also covered in damage and rust, appearing particularly desolate. On the streets, there were relatively few piles of building debris and overturned hovercars, clearly indicating that this was once the core area of ​​the Upper City, with stronger defenses. After the city fell into chaos, the fighting here was also more intense, making its preservation to this day extremely remarkable.

The stench of blood in the air was even stronger here, almost pungent, mixed with a faint energy fluctuation. Clearly, a large-scale battle had just taken place, and powerful enemies were still lurking nearby. The liquid metal humanoid stopped in its tracks, its simulated head rapidly turning left and right, carefully observing everything around it, searching for its target, while also vigilantly sensing the surrounding movements and checking for any hidden enemies. Its body was slightly tense, and the liquid metal on its surface flowed faster, as if preparing for any sudden situation. Although it showed no emotion, this posture still carried an extreme sense of oppression, making the surrounding air feel cold.

Just then, a dense hum of machinery suddenly erupted from the top of the skyscraper ahead, accompanied by a piercing crackling of electricity. Countless red laser beams shot down from the top of the skyscraper, raining down on the liquid metal humanoid, leaving it no chance to dodge. At the same time, heavy footsteps echoed from the ruins of buildings on both sides of the street. A large number of figures slowly emerged from the rubble, surrounding the liquid metal humanoid. There were hundreds of them, including basic mechanical sentinels, heavy mechanical sentinels, and several enormous bio-mechanical hybrids. Clearly, this was the gathering place of these out-of-control enemies, and the intrusion of the liquid metal humanoid had thoroughly alarmed them. They swarmed together, preparing to launch a large-scale attack to completely destroy this powerful intruder.
