Chapter 2406: A Colossus as Good as “Blackhole’s Heart”!

“All the combat databases have been imported into the mainframe crystal processor in the new Colossus!”

While Li Yao was appreciating the Colossus that was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent as if it had just crawled out of the deepest level of h.e.l.l without blinking, the two kids reported to Li Yao in excitement, “We gathered all the combat videos of Colossi that were available on the Spiritual Nexus of the Imperium and ran detailed a.n.a.lyses on the videos to break them into the most fundamental data. Then, we sorted and combined them for months before we finally built such a database! We knew that it would certainly be useful for Dad someday. Just consider it our welcome gift!

“With such a database, the Colossus would be able to be switched to ‘half-auto state’, which will significantly reduce the burden of mental power and spiritual energy on the user, and thereby make them fight longer than before. It is even possible to divide a Colossus into multiple independent battle modules, making it carry out 300% of its combat ability!

“Although we have inferred it countless times on the crystal processors, we still can’t wait to see the performance of the Colossus in a real battle. Chances are that it will be a super Colossus as good as Blackstar the Great’s ‘Blackhole’s Heart’. No, no, no, it will be even greater than ‘Blackhole’s Heart’. People hundreds of years later will remember how it raged in the universe and tore apart the stars!”

“I look forward to it as much as you do.”

Li Yao mumbled, trying to control his dry and s.h.i.+vering throat. “Right now, let’s give it a shot!”

…

Five hundred meters below the underground shelter, inside the rock stratum that had the steadiest tectonic structure, dull noises were surging like tides, shaking the rocks that had been consolidated for billions of years.

It was almost like there was a wormhole deep inside the planet, and infinite thunders were being teleported from the other side of the wormhole and exploding brutally in this place.

As it turned out, it was the Colossus that had been reborn pus.h.i.+ng forward in a tiny cave, punching the hardest rocks with the fists surrounded by spiritual energy.

The rocks were blown, broken, squeezed, and obliterated, and the cave began to look larger and larger, turning from no more than thirty meters in diameter at the beginning into a perfect sphere almost three hundred meters in diameter!

The black Colossus with snake-like hair waving and dancing behind the back and crimson, scary flames burning all over its body floated at the center of the sphere, as if it were a G.o.d that had the whole world under control!

Although it was three hundred meters in diameter, the room was still not sufficient to test a Colossus that was almost thirty meters tall.

However, Li Yao was too concerned about the safety of the workers of the Great Iron Plants and the Nepenthe believers to expand it anymore.

Repairing and modifying the Colossus had already consumed too much time. He could familiarize himself with the performance parameters and attack methods of the brand-new Colossus here for now and use the lives and souls of the Immortal Cultivators for further tests in the Great Iron Plants!

Shua!

Cl.u.s.ters of silver brilliance spurted out of both palms of the black Colossi at the same time. The silver brilliance on the left hand was like a crescent moon, while that on the right land was like a straight shooting star. When they were extended to the maximum, they were condensed into a giant saber and a chainsword more than ten meters long.

The saber was named “Broken Wing”, and the sword was named “Folded Feather”. When examined carefully, one would notice that the two glittering melee weapons were both made of metal feathers that were as thin as paper. The raw materials were all from the broken wings of “Gold Vulture”.

The wings of “Gold Vulture” were the most important attack magical equipment that was made out of a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Supreme Emperor’s mausoleum, which Li Yao asked from Queen Li Linghai. Many of the materials were unique and could not be found anywhere else in the entire universe. When the wings were broken, Li Yao’s heart was almost broken at the same time. Thanks to Long Yangjun, some parts of the debris were packed and brought back. Li Yao naturally couldn’t bear to throw them away easily but redesigned and produced the two pieces of melee magical equipment with the help of the two kids.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

The two arms of the black Colossus turned into gray mists. Broken Wing darted out in one—no, thousands of streaks of brightness. Every metal feather of the weapon could be dissected freely. Under the restraint of magnetic force and Li Yao’s spiritual energy, they could change into the most unbelievable forms to interfere with and confuse the enemy to the most extent.

Broken Wing, on the other hand, only boosted out one ray that shot out into the rocks straightly without any fancy effect, leaving a tiny hole.

However, if one were to release their telepathic thoughts and dive into the hole, they would discover that the hole stabbed by the sword had pushed forward for more than ten kilometers inside the concrete rocks!

While some of the super-heavy wars.h.i.+ps could be astonis.h.i.+ngly dozens of kilometers long, considering cost, agility, and difficulty of production, most of the stars.h.i.+ps were within ten kilometers.

The sh.e.l.l of a stars.h.i.+p was certainly a hundred times tougher than rocks, but the inside of a stars.h.i.+p couldn’t be concrete, and the cabin walls inside couldn’t be as indestructible as the external plate armor, either.

Since the sword could stab through the rocks more than ten kilometers thick, it was certainly not a problem to stab through most stars.h.i.+ps.

Broken Wing was responsible for distraction and hara.s.sment, whereas Folded Feather was responsible for breaking the armor and launching the attack. They were the most daunting melee magical equipment.

Playing with them for a while, Li Yao shook his hands and absorbed the weapons into his Cosmos Rings again. The shoulder pads on his two sides that were decorated with the G.o.dly faces were quickly opened, revealing a launch system of mini flying swords that were as dense as a beehive.

Although they were called “mini flying swords”, they were in fact the super-tiny spiritual puppets or “intelligent bullets” controlled by Li Wenwen and Li Xiaoming. After they were shot out by Li Yao at the highest speed, they could automatically adjust the attack route, angle, and even pattern halfway. They could also postpone detonation after they hit the target and keep on diving in until they reached the most critical parts of the target.

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

A large cl.u.s.ter of super-tiny puppets spurted out of the shoulders of the black Colossus, dancing like a swarm of wild bees and moving unpredictably. One second, they could be faster than meteorites, and the next second, they could be even more volatile than mists.

While the “wild bees” stalled the enemy, the plate armor of the black Colossus from the chest to the abdomen suddenly glided open, revealing a particularly hideous face. From the b.l.o.o.d.y mouth on the face that had been wide open, an extremely powerful mental wave was shot out and swept over the entire sphere s.p.a.ce like a surging tide.

In the meantime, from the six Cosmos Rings embedded to the back of the black Colossus, pieces of round magical equipment that had been painted black emerged and began to play the deafening music that sounded like drumming from h.e.l.l.

It was exactly the mental attack system on the black Colossus!

Li Yao had been an expert on mental warfare in the first place.

“h.e.l.lstar” was also a Colossus that was installed with powerful mental attack magical equipment. In the battle at the underground royal palace, Blackstar the Great used the mental attack magical equipment on “h.e.l.lstar” to awe and suppress dozens of experts in the Nascent Soul Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage.

It was needless to mention Li Wenwen and Li Xiaoming, who were better at cracking the defense systems of crystal processors and the brainwaves of humans than anything else.

When the three factors were combined, the extremely powerful mental attack system was created. It would certainly be any enemy’s nightmare.

Therefore, Li Yao had named the mental attack system as “Nightmare Bringer”!

Huala! Huala! Huala! Huala!

When the mental attack reached the highest point, the hair on the black Colossus that was waving crazily like vipers couldn’t hold back any longer, and the strands of hair extended to all directions. The attack magical equipment at their ends that looked like chrysanthemum was opened, and it was as easy to rip apart the hardest rock as to tear a paper box apart.

The greatest feature of the ma.s.sive attack system that had been named “Hydra” was that it did not require Li Yao’s personal control but could be controlled by the mental devil independently.

The black Colossus controlled by Li Yao, the “wild bees” controlled by the two information lives, and “Hydra” controlled by the mental devil were three different combat modules. In such a way, everyone’s computational ability would be optimized.

In the more extreme cases, “Hydra” could even be separated from the main body of the Colossus and used as an independent combat unit.

After “Hydra” was separated, the black Colossus would be able to put on a brand-new “Ares Extension” and enter the mode of hyper firepower output to blow out the destructive “Ultra-Galactic Cannon”!

The most fatal shortcoming of “Ultra-Galactic Cannon” was that the preparation was too long. The enemy would certainly not be silly enough to wait for Li Yao to prepare for ten seconds but would escape in a hurry or launch a critical counterattack to disrupt in preparation.

Right now, with “Hydra” under the control of the mental devil, and together with the interferences, scourges, and locking of the two information lives, the precision of the “Ultra-Galactic Cannon” would be significantly increased and more or less be used for a real battle.

However, it was his last resort, and there would be quite a noise when it was performed. Chances were that it could really tear apart the rocks and raise an inestimable chain reaction, leading to a catastrophic earthquake.

He might as well not test it in such a dangerous environment below the ground!

Broken Wing, Folded Feather, Wild Bee Attack System, Nightmare Bringer, Hydra, and the ultimate Ultra-Galactic Cannon… All the attack modules and units were done testing.

Hu… Hu… Hu… Hu…

Inside the spiritual residence of the Black Colossus, Li Yao breathed heavily, but he couldn’t have been more excited.

He could feel the great changes between this Colossus and “Gold Vulture” as well as “h.e.l.lstar”.

Even if Blackstar the Great saw the Colossus, he would be greatly surprised, wouldn’t he?

Right now, there was only the last step to finish.

“What are you going to call it?”

The mental devil asked, “The Platinum Vulture, the Super Tartarean Skeleton, or the Gold h.e.l.lstar?”

Li Yao was in too good a mood to argue with the mental devil. Ignoring the sarcasm, he thought carefully for a long time and said, “Do you remember what we discussed when we were in the federation? Even if the universe is truly a b.l.o.o.d.y, cruel dark forest, there are bound to be civilizations that are unwilling to be trapped in the darkness like us. We will establish an alliance of arsonists and ignite ten thousand fires, burning the whole dark forest to the ground!

“At that time, it was just a hope, and I never thought it could come true.

“However, the arrival of the information lives gives me a slim chance of hope for brightness. Perhaps it will be sooner for the civilization of mankind to break out of the three thousand Sectors to find or create an ‘alliance of arsonists’ than everyone thought, right?

“So, the Colossus will be named ‘Arsonist’!”
