I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1358 - 968: Now This Is a Proper Battle
"Stop looking!!" Du Gang shouted, feeling somewhat embarrassed. These artificial Celestial Beings made him experience discomfort, normally, he could still take on one or two with the Unity of Heaven and Man trait.
Even with the suppression from the Might of Heaven and Earth, it was no problem; Unity of Heaven and Man could be understood as ultra-high evasion, mana lock, attack strengthening, magic immunity, etc., and Du Gang was not skilled at Spells, he just charged in to hack and slash during battles.
Magic immunity does not equal immunity to physical attacks, ultra-high evasion does not mean dodging area attacks; he had a unique area crushing attack, but once the number of artificial Celestial Beings increased, things changed.
Even though the output of artificial Celestial Beings was dictated by individuality, when seven Celestial Beings coordinated, and also arranged some sort of Formation, it disgusted Du Gang considerably.
The Might of Heaven and Earth was like a giant grinding mill, squeezing him into the center, persistently twisting him. Du Gang’s golden skin was constantly enduring intense grinding.
"What did he say?"
Lilith repeated Du Gang’s shouted words.
"Cough, cough, that’s quite bad." Zheng Yichen coughed twice, the incantation he used previously was released again, eliminating the influence of the Might of Heaven and Earth.
Du Gang’s body became easygoing and he immediately retaliated, those artificial Celestial Beings lightly dodged Du Gang’s attacks, even though some attacks carried a crushing effect, causing the artificial Celestial Beings to not completely evade, yet those attacks’ damage didn’t affect them.
The artificial Celestial Beings in his hands shed some Crystal fragments, then directly returned to their original state.
Du Gang’s eye twitched slightly seeing this, normally those with the Unity of Heaven and Man trait mainly locked mana; these even locked their Blood Bar.
However, Du Gang, with ample battle Experience, could detect some anomalies: when wounded, the artificial Celestial Beings displayed faint marks which gradually vanished after recovery.
But the next time they were injured, the marks would grow bigger.
These artificial Celestial Beings had some usage durability.
Du Gang had the confidence to outlast them, but if he dragged it out too long, would the higher-ups of the Devouring Faction not have escaped already?
But after Zheng Yichen devised a way to eliminate the Might of Heaven and Earth, Du Gang’s anxious mood calmed down, probably because the Devourers’ higher-ups were already done for.
As for the remaining ones, it was simple, just grind these artificial Celestial Beings to death... hmm?
Du Gang saw Zheng Yichen’s silent silhouette approaching, his expression tightened, as Zheng Yichen stealthily neared him, sealing the connection between this Celestial Being and the outside world before his eyes.
The blood-colored Inner Strength carried the power of Oblivion, severing the Heavenly Person’s connection with the heavens, rendering them ordinary combatants.
Zheng Yichen directly stuffed this Celestial Being into the built-in space.
Then Lilith very straightforwardly disassembled it, integrating it into the Virtual World Core, explaining that this artificial Celestial Being was already used.
As for any tragic stories, artificial Celestial Beings were originally created as tools; if the first and second generations had some stories, the third and fourth generations did not. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The concept of soul self-discovery would have been scrubbed clean from the beginning; they were empty shells with no stories, most possibly filled with information passively collected.
According to that information, these artificial Celestial Beings didn’t understand ’resistance’. If a bit of resistant consciousness was to be generated, the constantly active Unity of Heaven and Man state could utilize that vast amount of information.
With Du Gang drawing fire and the Might of Heaven and Earth eradicated, the several Celestial Beings here were quickly taken down by Zheng Yichen. Ultimately, only five 3rd generation Celestial Beings remained, while the 4th generation being new, retained a considerable number.
Sixteen 4th generation Celestial Beings, but to Lilith, the distinction between the 3rd and 4th generations was minor, both could serve as templates for adjustments on existing bases.
Furthermore, for Lilith, she now had twenty-one skins of excellent appearance.
"What is with these people? Each has the power of Unity of Heaven and Man?" Du Gang’s golden color faded, revealing bronze skin with traces resembling metallic scratches.
"It’s the technology of this Devouring Faction, they primarily research Celestial Beings to change the physiques of their descendants, trying to cultivate true Celestial Being offspring through artificial Celestial Beings."
"I see." Du Gang nodded, not overly angry, he had seen many similar experiments before, such as in worlds where Extermination Orders were conducted, there were many similar studies.
Like some kind of powerful creature’s Genetic Modification, while conducting modifications, those Researchers would try to preserve the reproductive capability of the modified.
Initially, besides being combat tools, the modified ones served as live body Gene cultivation tanks, enabling those rampaging, hardly usable Genes to play a role within the bodies of the modified.
Even if the offspring couldn’t fully inherit those modifications, they could retain a part, and that part of the modification would have far superior compatibility compared to first-generation individuals.
Otherwise, why do many modifications prefer young ages, or even start directly from egg cells?
The Devouring Faction in this World pursued something higher, attempting to cultivate true Celestial Beings using artificial Celestial Beings.
"I’ve taken care of the Devourers’ higher-ups in this World, the rest are just small fry."
"Hahahahaha! This is for the best!!" Du Gang laughed aloud: "Since that’s the case, let’s not idle; let’s quickly clear out all the remaining trash."
