I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1756 - 1230: Add Something Else_2
Otherwise, even a tiny leak would cause not just the walls but the entire building to collapse directly.
The problem is, he can’t achieve it. He has already reached the limit of controlling his own strength, ensuring that every strike penetrates the body of the Terminal Mech.
Every attack produces intense tremors within the Terminal Mech, which Zheng Yichen can clearly see through thermal vision.
After the Terminal Mech is attacked, the heat distribution within its body becomes severely disordered. Despite this, Zheng Yichen still cannot guarantee that the force of his attacks is perfectly contained.
And the Terminal Mech is exceptionally durable; its internal heat distribution is chaotic to the extreme, yet its performance remains unaffected. The World’s Will’s blessing allows it to largely ignore the internal force eruptions.
As long as the Terminal Mech’s structure remains relatively intact, it can rapidly recover.
Bursting through the foundation and triggering tremors for miles, the Terminal Mech emerged. Its severed arm had returned to normal, but this recovery was achieved by directly removing the affected part influenced by Oblivion force.
This made the Terminal Mech appear slightly smaller in Zheng Yichen’s eyes.
Touching his fists together, Zheng Yichen swung a fist at the Terminal Mech from a distance, and a Vacuum Column pierced through its body, tearing apart the phantom it left behind.
A sound of breaking air rang out from behind Zheng Yichen as he swiftly dodged the attack, turning around to see the fractured state of the Terminal Mech.
In this fragmented state, the Terminal Mech was connected by numerous tendrils, and every part of its body became a weapon, tightly encircling Zheng Yichen within the attack range.
The Heaven-Slaying Weapon’s blades extended from its body; these blades were projections, not the true form, yet still lethal to Zheng Yichen.
The Terminal Mech chose to self-destruct, and at the moment of explosion, engineers from the development department noticed that the flow of time around Zheng Yichen seemed to slow.
Even a minor delay allows Zheng Yichen many actions.
From the front, he broke the longest blade, tore apart the tendrils linked to the Termination Mechanism, concentrating the self-destructing parts while completely detaching those not connected to the self-destruct.
"...Is this your technology?" an engineer looked towards the people from the City of Machines.
The engineers from the City of Machines remained silent: "Yes, but how did he apply this technology to such an extent?"
The speaking engineer frowned, reviewing the final records. Judging from the ultimate records, this self-destruction mostly failed, and even due to the impact, their monitoring of Zheng Yichen was interrupted.
The City of Machines’ time technology is also a type of Fake Time Technology, after all, involving complete time technology would cause temporal fractures, resulting in the target not being on the current ’timeline’ and possessing ’undefeatable’ characteristics.
This technique is excellent for defense; by tearing out temporal fractures, it creates a temporary fallback timeline for protection. Theoretically, no method can break such a defense.
Space-tearing methods are ineffective, as tearing the space only operates in the current timeline, unable to touch the space that is a few seconds behind. What’s the use?
Even if the world explodes, using True Time Technology would still force a few seconds of survival, and even more maneuvers could be made within those few seconds.
But the consumption of True Time Technology is too immense, making it unwise to use for protection. Fake Time Technology, with relatively lower consumption, remains the most practical.
The force Zheng Yichen used to tackle the Terminal Mech falls within the scope of Fake Time Technology, merely delaying rather than creating a true temporal fracture.
To achieve such an extent, either the Terminal Mech’s self-destruction would be useless against Zheng Yichen or Zheng Yichen couldn’t interfere with the Terminal Mech’s self-destruction.
Even with Fake Time Technology, both sides remain on the same temporal level.
Most of the time, Fake Time Technology is more practical than True Time Technology. The problem is, this technology is one of the highest crystallizations of the City of Machines.
When dealing with Zheng Yichen, the City of Machines even consumed all the life within the city just to influence Zheng Yichen to that extent.
Yet, the Terminal Mech, due to the blessings of the World’s Will and the parsed Oblivion force, is of much higher quality than when dealing with the previous Zheng Yichen.
Nevertheless, Zheng Yichen still employed the force of Fake Time Technology to slightly restrict the Terminal Mech. Even if the force wasn’t personally used by Zheng Yichen, there must be auxiliary help. But what about the consumption?
There must be something to withstand the consumption, right?
Some engineers quickly calculated that, according to normal consumption, Zheng Yichen could easily execute Parallel Unification technology to eliminate the Terminal Mech with much higher efficiency.
But Zheng Yichen chose to use Fake Time Technology, which most likely indicates a breakthrough in the Fake Time Technology that he acquired, reducing the consumption while maintaining the effect.
"Is it his artificial intelligence? It shouldn’t be..." some engineers became more perplexed. Fake Time Technology has always been their effort to perfect; even with Boundary Breaking Organization’s resource support, their progress in this area is sluggish.
No matter how coincidentally Zheng Yichen obtained ready-made technology from the City of Machines, progress wouldn’t be this rapid.
Without sufficient foundational support, such technology can’t be utilized, not to mention achieving breakthroughs beyond the existing foundation.
Yet the final records from the Heavenly Path System are laid before them, making them deeply reconsider whether they have been pursuing the wrong path all along?
"We must find a way to seize his artificial intelligence..."
"What are you thinking?" another engineer scoffed; Zheng Yichen’s artificial intelligence rarely appears directly, only emerging to protect Zheng Yichen.
To capture that artificial intelligence, one might as well consider capturing Zheng Yichen, because capturing the artificial intelligence essentially equals capturing Zheng Yichen.
"Sigh, let’s update the Terminal Mech." The proposing engineer sighed, starting to organize the collected data.
He already has a new draft; the Terminal Mech’s strength can actually be reduced, utilizing the parsed Oblivion force as its combat strategy, which doesn’t demand high strength.
Oblivion force doesn’t require any kinetic support; merely making contact can cause immense destruction, and the additional kinetic support is insignificant.
Strong forces might directly crush the enemy rather than allowing the Oblivion force to take effect first.
After this data collection, they further confirmed that overly strong physical force doesn’t significantly influence the Terminal Mech’s combat prowess.
By cutting some strength and restructuring the Terminal Mech’s design, its speed could be improved, while other aspects remain untouched as much as possible.
Other design aspects are targeted at Zheng Yichen, such as resistance to the Undying Life Flame, resistance to Phenomenon, and environmental Otherworld Transformation.
Without such resistances, the Terminal Mech would be more passive in combat against Zheng Yichen.
An engineer thought of something and suggested: "By the way, Yue Heng recently participated in Oblivion force application experiments; we could extract her data."
"It will conflict, won’t it?" The engineer designing the new plan frowned; their design data for the Terminal Mech comes from Zheng Yichen.
Adding new data will surely impact the original design.
"We’ve failed so many times already, we should try a new approach. Anyway, we’re not worried about failing again."
"...Makes sense." The engineer nodded. He’s not a rigid researcher; after repeated failures, trying different approaches might yield extra insights.
However, incorporating others’ data will vastly increase the workload of the upcoming design project...
