Chapter 84 Technology plus flawed genes, does it even deserve to be called divine creation?
Chapter 84 Technology plus flawed genes, does it even deserve to be called divine creation?
In the desolate thicket a hundred meters away, the sweltering summer air suddenly began to twist and contort in a strange way.
It wasn't the surging, superficial movement of the heatwave, but rather the visible ripples spreading across the surface of water, as if a pebble had been thrown in. The surrounding sounds of wind and insects fell silent instantly, and the entire area was plunged into a suffocating, oppressive stillness.
Three tall and agile black figures burst through the air from nothingness, slowly revealing their complete outlines.
The three men were clad in form-fitting, matte black combat suits, every muscle definition perfectly outlined. Their heavy mechanical exoskeletons were intricately designed, gleaming with a chilling light, amplifying their combat prowess several times over. Energy reactors embedded in their chests pulsed with a cold, eerie blue light, like the heart of a lurking beast, spewing forth a vast, unknown energy. The heavy energy weapons they wielded had a domineering and exaggerated design; the energy patterns flowing along their blades proclaimed their terrifying power capable of tearing apart steel.
The man in the lead had neat short blond hair, sharp and cold eyes, and a bright mirror on his left eye. Dense data codes scrolled, refreshed, and jumped like a waterfall, constantly analyzing everything around him.
He is Jack, the captain of the S-class advance team meticulously crafted by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Foundation's "God Creation" project. He is a veteran of countless battles and has never failed.
[Warning! Target energy reading is abnormal and cannot be resolved!]
[The target's physical defense threshold has been surpassed by all existing models in the database!]
[Threat level reassessed: Extremely lethal, immediate evacuation recommended!]
The cold, mechanical electronic notification tone suddenly exploded in Jack's tactical headset, devoid of any emotion, yet every word was piercing to the heart.
Jack's Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he subconsciously swallowed. His usually calm and cold face was now completely covered with a heavy, iron-blue color, and an uncontrollable horror surged in his heart.
Their infiltration into the heart of Jiangnan, China, relied on the consortium's latest top-tier optical stealth technology, coupled with a comprehensive energy shielding field, sufficient to evade all global detection equipment. Their original plan was meticulously crafted: to lie in wait, concealing their presence, and await the two powerful figures within the compound to fight to the death, leaving them both severely injured. They would then reap the benefits, taking away the mysterious source causing the energy surge across the entire region, thus perfectly completing their mission.
But no one expected that all the plans and all the reliance would be completely shattered by the seemingly gentle, peaceful, and harmless young man in front of them.
The other party not only saw through their seemingly unsolvable invisibility disguise at a glance, but also saw clearly the genetic modification traces and artificially grafted superpowers deep within their bodies, leaving them with no secrets whatsoever.
"Damn it! A bunch of useless intelligence agents!"
Jack lowered his voice and growled through gritted teeth on the private communication channel, his tone filled with rage and resentment, "They clearly reported that China's contemporary supernatural system has long since collapsed, and there's a lack of high-end combat talent! Where on earth did this top-tier expert come from?!"
Despite his surging anger, his unwavering confidence, stemming from his status as an S-class awakened being, remained his foundation.
The exoskeleton armor he wore, infused with the genes of top-tier ferocious beasts, combined with a custom-made lightning-based power system from his conglomerate, represented the ultimate combat strength built from countless resources, making him invincible overseas. He refused to believe that a young Chinese man who appeared out of nowhere could truly shake his trump card.
Jack raised his hand to suppress the fear in his heart, and led his two tense subordinates out of the deep bushes. Their footsteps were steady and powerful, carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure, as they passed directly through the broken iron gate that had just been shattered in the battle and stepped into the courtyard.
Not far away, Sun Changhe, who had just been defeated and was covered in wounds, knelt on both knees. When he looked up, he suddenly saw three foreign powerhouses with strange attire and a fierce aura. His mind went blank for a moment, and he was completely stunned.
Superpowered individuals from overseas?!
They actually went to such lengths to secretly infiltrate the heart of Jiangnan, the southernmost part of China?!
After the initial shock, a sinister sense of relief and anticipation instantly welled up in Sun Changhe's heart.
Lu Yuan's strength was too terrifying, already filling him with despair. Now, with the foreign powerhouse launching a surprise attack, the best outcome would be for both sides to fight to the death, resulting in mutual destruction! He could then use the chaos to escape and save his life.
Jack walked slowly forward, then suddenly stopped about ten meters away from Lu Yuan.
He slightly raised his chin, his eyes extremely arrogant, with deep-rooted contempt and disdain hidden in them, looking down at Lu Yuan as if he were an ant, his posture flamboyant and arrogant.
"Chinese, the power you just displayed truly surprised me."
Jack spoke in broken, halting Chinese, his tone carrying an air of condescension, "I am a special envoy from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Foundation. We are very interested in the secrets surrounding you. If you are willing to cooperate with us and leave, submitting to the United States, we can provide you with the world's most advanced gene evolution fluid to help you break through your limits and transform into a transcendent true god."
As he spoke, his hands, hanging at his sides, moved swiftly in a series of covert tactical hand gestures, his eyes concealing a murderous intent.
The two subordinates behind him instantly understood, their heavy energy rifles silently charging, the muzzles glowing with blinding energy, locking onto all of Lu Yuan's possible escape routes. If Lu Yuan dared to resist or make any sudden movement, two high-energy plasma beams, capable of vaporizing steel, would instantly level the courtyard, leaving it completely barren.
Faced with the other party's coercion, enticement, and hidden trap, Lu Yuan remained calm. His gaze swept lightly over the reactor flashing on Jack's chest, and through the surface mechanical structure, he saw through the chaotic, restless, and extremely unstable lightning attribute power within Jack's body. In his heart, there was only absurdity and disdain.
He couldn't help himself after all, and a faint, mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"They take the scraps and pieces of discarded crystal cores from monsters, force them into the meridians of ordinary people to stimulate their power, and then use a bunch of scrap metal to build an external circulation device to maintain stability."
Lu Yuan pointed to Jack's heart, his tone casual yet every word piercing: "This kind of defective trash, capable of going berserk and self-destructing at any moment, is what you call your ultimate evolution?"
In an instant, the arrogance and composure on Jack's face were completely shattered by extreme rage!
This ultimate battle suit, which incorporates the top genes of the Thunderstorm Giant Bear, cost billions of dollars, and took years to develop, is the pinnacle of the S.H.I.E.L.D. conglomerate and the source of his confidence and glory on the battlefield! Yet now it has been belittled to nothing by a native in his eyes!
Overwhelming rage instantly shattered his reason. Jack's eyes turned bloodshot, his face contorted with rage, and he roared, "You ignorant yellow-skinned monkey! Since you refuse to listen to reason, I'll break all your limbs, cripple all your cultivation, and then drag you back to the lab for a live dissection to uncover all your secrets!"
boom--!
The energy reactor on his chest shone brightly instantly, with a surge of dark blue lightning, and the violent lightning-based genetic power was completely detonated.
Crackling sounds!
Countless thick, menacing blue electric snakes surged and exploded wildly, rapidly converging along the exoskeleton's dedicated wires, ultimately condensing into his fists. The high-voltage current ionized the surrounding air, releasing a pungent, pungent ozone aura, and an overwhelming sense of destruction instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
