Chapter 122 Philosopher’s Stone: Poison
Temperature: 23℃, air humidity 32%, wind speed 7.9m/s, wind direction SSE-19°, oblique angle correction.
One after another Data surfaced in high-precision sights worth hundreds of thousands, constantly changing.
With the assistance of the implant, Quemu suppressed the frequency of breathing and heart to the limit, lying on the ground without a trace of tremor.
He had remained in this position for more than twelve hours.
At this moment, he was located seven miles away from the First Research Institute, in the jungle of a man-made landscape mountain.
Sneaking here late at night and setting up, under the "curtain" composed of heat shielding blankets and optical camouflage equipment, is a fully deployed "Giant War" heavy-duty Gauss sniper rifle that is nearly two and a half meters tall.
After an unknown period of time, this terrifying war weapon once again showed its complete form, with two specially-made "battery modules" for power supply and a "secondary electromagnetic acceleration" device, as well as some temporary parts. With enhancements, the performance of "Great War" far exceeds its normal state.
The most intuitive initial shooting speed has reached eleven times the speed of sound.
At the same time, the psychic energy belonging to the first ring [Truth] was pushed to the limit, and the depths of the pupils of the bird's eyes lit up slightly. Through the medium of the high-precision sight, one could peer into the first research institute at this moment. .
——No, it’s more than that.
Bird's right eye is facing the scope, while his left eye is staring closely at a small screen placed on a huge war. The space on the entire screen is divided into a large number of small blocks, and the picture of each block is constantly changing, as if its owner is moving at high speed.
The members of the Enlightenment who choose to participate in "Operation Moth" will have their prosthetic eyes download a program before officially entering the First Research Institute. The only effect of this procedure is to use the zero-delay data channel built by Flashing Star to share the images in the eyes with the birds in real time.
So the bird "saw" it.
——Boom!
Once again the fighter backed away.
A harsh trembling sound sounded sharply, but the moment before the sound sounded, there were more than ten scratches piercing the air, completely covering the fighter!
This tall body made of a special alloy, at this moment, was like a lonely sail in the sea in this violent blow, constantly retreating, making a tooth-wrenching twisting sound.
On the [Hundred-foot Pavilion], which completely covered Gaboy, more than ten roots stretched out and slowly squirmed in the air, coiling ten meters around the body.
These scientific names are "parasitic pavilions". They were originally biological modules that were simply detectors. After being fully integrated with Gaboy and enhanced by psychic skills, they have turned into an out-and-out war. Weapon - Each root can launch a sonic slash, easily cutting through steel.
The fighter wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
The sonic slashes of these roots are indeed terrifying, but with the dual protection of the "repulsive stance" and the "heavy armor plate", the former cannot break through the fighter's defense in a short time.
Just.
While these light gray roots were slashing, Gaboy was also launching an offensive!
Avoiding the falling electric energy halberd, the man who was completely transformed into an inhuman thing from the air penetrated by plasma punched out!
The "repulsive stance" that was strong enough to withstand ordinary rifle bullets only stopped it for a moment before announcing a breakthrough.
Covered with silver-gray chitin edges and corners, the five fingers that looked ferocious and violent were clasped together, and without hesitation they blasted into the fighter's abdomen -
Psychic Skills·[Deactivating Impact]!
No loud noise as expected.
It’s like time has frozen.
The fighter's abdominal armor plate was first dented, and cracks burst out. Broken armor pieces bulged one after another, and then they all cracked and turned into flying fragments!
The terrifying force even spread to the deepest part of the exoskeleton, causing the short-haired man who was sitting in the life-support device and connected to countless pipelines on his back to instantly turn pale and spit out blood mixed with internal organ fragments.
Someone fired suddenly to save the situation, but the bullet was directly deflected by the network of roots. Only a red laser that had been charged for a long time successfully hit, leaving a striking mark on Gaboy's shoulder. Amazing burn marks.
Then, the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Psychic Skills·【Regeneration】.
The simplest and purest ability, but "simple" never means "useless".
The next moment, more powerful firepower poured into the shooter!
It is the "ice" troops who came with Gaboy.
They either sneered, were indifferent, or licked their lips. Outside the battlefield between Gabriel and the fighters, they exchanged fire with other enlightened ones, and even suppressed the latter to a certain extent.
The index finger of the bird's eye is tightly pressed on the trigger, making it ready to fire at any time.
He gritted his teeth, suppressed all his emotions, and stared at the sight and screen.
This is not the time yet.
You only have one chance.
——Three days ago, Arnan found himself alone.
·······
"Jineye Juniper, I only want you to do one thing for the entire 'Operation Moth'." "I hope this situation will not happen, but I must make a plan." He stared at himself and said slowly: "Moth After the operation officially begins, once Gaboy senses something is wrong, he rushes to the First Research Institute - I need you to hit him with this 'Philosopher's Stone'."
". The Philosopher's Stone?" Quemu was stunned for a moment: "What is that?"
"The Philosopher's Stone is what you psykers call it. It is said to be a way to extract the soul, blend it and solidify it. I don't know the nature of the crystal. I'm just repeating it." Arnan shook his head slightly: "But one thing is confirmed, this 'Philosopher's Stone' can cause effective damage to Gaboy."
He took out an alloy box from his arms and opened it carefully.
In the rising mist, there is a glass tube filled with amber liquid. From it, a magnificent burgundy thumb-sized crystal is quietly suspended.
The first time he saw it, Bird Eyes suddenly understood that it was indeed a product of some kind of psychic energy. It could indeed cause harm to Gaboy!
Because under the gaze of the bird, even if it was blocked by the amber liquid, this so-called "Philosopher's Stone" still gave him an extremely uncomfortable and even depressing feeling.
It’s like, the materialization of resentment
“.Poison.”
Subconsciously, Bird Eyes murmured.
Seeing this, Arnan was slightly startled, and then he slowly laughed again: "Sure enough, you psychics are indeed a little unreasonable."
"What you said Yes, the type of this Philosopher's Stone is 'Poison'." He paused and said, "This is also Cornelia's relic."
It didn't give Quemu any more surprise. Time, Arnan explains bluntly.
“Cornelia had already evaluated her combat strength when Gaboy transferred her to Palother. In the case of a head-on battle, she believed that her chance of winning was no more than 30%. But at the time our power was It has reached a bottleneck, and any attempt to move forward will inevitably alert Jade Pharmaceutical and start a head-on battle.”
"So." Quemu asked in a low voice.
"So Cornelia applied to the headquarters of the Enlightened One and obtained this 'curse bomb' made of the Philosopher's Stone, or a special attack weapon against psychic energy." Arnan Shaking his head: "You have also experienced what happened later. Before she and I figured out how to use this 'curse bomb' to ambush Gaboy, Rorick betrayed us, and everyone suffered heavy losses, including Cornelia. He died for protecting us.”
Arnan stared at the person in front of him.
“In the worst case scenario, try to limit Gaboy’s performance, at least until we get the data from the host.”
“—This is your only mission, Que "
······
This is my mission.
quemu thought.
He remained motionless.
Even with the "Great War" and his own psychic assistance, Qili was already the limit distance for hitting Gaboy - any further distance was not because the range was insufficient, but because he was not sure that Gaboy would not be able to react.
And closer.
A third-level [Transcendence] person has an intuition about danger, and he doesn’t dare to gamble.
Finally.
When Gayboy punched the fighter's abdomen again, and then spread his fingers, with the intention of ruthlessly uprooting the fighter himself from the exoskeleton, the latter roared for the first time since the beginning of the battle!
Boom!
The power of the exoskeleton armor increased to an unprecedented limit. At this moment, the fighter did not retreat or avoid, but stepped forward. His hands that let go of the electric halberd suddenly closed together and hugged Gaboy forcefully!
It is as if a giant beast is tied up with an iron net.
Almost instantly, a heart-wrenching sound of metal twisting was heard, and the fighter's hands swelled suddenly, as if they were about to be broken bit by bit.
"Do you really want to die that much?"
On Gaboy's chest, a faint light bloomed in the gap between the spiral armor. His voice was cold, and his five fingers completely broke the protection, and he wanted to Hold the fighter's head.
The next moment, there was skylight across the sky.
The walls of the institute shattered, and the eye-catching vacuum air ring dragged in the air. The magnificent burgundy color spanned a distance of seven miles in an instant and roared towards Gabriel in the warrior's arms!
Several roots were triggered by stress and turned into bulletproof networks again to try to attack. But this time, the moment it touched the "cursed poison bullet", these roots appeared dry and rotten, and fell down powerlessly, making it difficult to resist.
Gaboy lowered his head slightly and saw on his shoulder that a burgundy crystal had dissipated, turned into a lingering dark stream of light, and began to quickly sink into his limbs.
Then, there was a belated roar of anger.
--boom!
