after one day.
Chen Yuan was stationed in the Starry Sky Command Center, overseeing the overall situation.
Chen Xin was responsible for information processing, target acquisition, and tactical support.
As orders were issued, mopping-up teams composed of humanity's elite combat forces were dispatched in batches, like unsheathed swords, heading towards every corner of the earth.
The Old World, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, and other sea areas with abnormal reactions to the source of life.
Cangming's Abyss King Armor remained stable under the pressure of the sea thousands of meters deep. He released his mental domain, forcibly sensing and interfering with the consciousness of the Deep Sea Devouring Beasts, causing them to burst out from the hidden rock crevices and hot springs.
Lan, standing to the side, activated her ability, using the "All Streams Converge" technique to manipulate immense water pressure, forming invisible water blades that easily sliced through the thick-skinned deep-sea monsters.
She created a massive vortex that swept up hordes of Devouring Beasts and tore them apart.
The call of the Nether Sea is even more powerful in the deep sea. The ghost ships and skeleton warriors summoned by Purgatory ignore the water pressure, traversing the darkness and attacking wildly. The Domain of Annihilation adds an aura of death to the cold seawater.
Blood Rose's Blood Plague Curse subtly spreads through seawater. Although diluted, it can still disrupt the spiritual seeds within the sensitive Deep Sea Devouring Beasts, causing some to even attack each other.
Other ability users displayed their unique skills, using high-pressure ice guns to snipe. The weakest of the personnel dispatched this time were all at the fifth rank.
The Old World, beneath the polar ice caps and the Siberian permafrost.
Chen Xin brought up the real-time battle screen:
Ran Bing's Frost Oath Guardian was in her element here, wielding the power of the Eternal Ice Coffin with unparalleled skill. She directly froze the entire sea area, turning the hidden Devouring Beasts and their nests into eternal ice sculptures, and then shattered them into countless ice crystals with a gentle blow.
Ling Ye's molecular vibrations are even more effective in extremely cold environments, easily causing the structure of the Devouring Beasts' nests under the ice to collapse. Even the shells of those Devouring Beasts that are adapted to the severe cold become extremely fragile.
Su Chan's quantum entanglement perception penetrates the thick ice layer, accurately locating each abnormal life source. She directs her firepower, often achieving a fatal blow.
Scientists at the Hisakawa base are using environmental monitoring equipment to analyze the adaptation mechanisms of manna ecosystems in extreme environments, providing valuable data for subsequent research.
Huge caves, abandoned mineral veins, and underground networks modified by the Devouring Beasts beneath the world's major continental plates.
The Phantom Mech with no door appeared and disappeared here unpredictably. Its strong phase field allowed it to ignore the obstacles of the rock layers and appear directly in the center of the nest where the Devouring Beasts gathered. Its phase piercing blades harvested like ghosts.
The other team members cleared out any remaining survivors that had been forced to the surface, or used bunker-buster bombs and sonic weapons to assist in the elimination.
High in the sky, Bai Yuekui's Jingzhu was unparalleled in maneuverability. Its Guiyuan Wings flashed like white meteors as it led its teammates to launch planetary-level space battleships across the globe to pursue the beast hordes. Wherever a powerful energy reaction appeared, they would arrive immediately and eliminate it.
Mark's End Watcher provides stable mid-range fire support, while the Annihilation Shoulder Cannon picks off powerful individuals attempting to escape into the air.
The sniper duo, Flying Snow and Shattered Star, occupied the high ground, using electromagnetic railguns and star-piercing electromagnetic cannons for beyond-visual-range strikes, accurately eliminating those long-range threats hidden in treacherous terrain.
The Dragon Fang seven-man squad specializes in dealing with complex structures that require coordinated operations to overcome. Their teamwork is seamless and their efficiency is extremely high.
This global crackdown lasted for several weeks.
Human warriors displayed astonishing resilience and combat prowess, cooperating and complementing each other's strengths to eradicate Mana's strongholds on the Earth's surface and in shallow underground layers.
Every day, good news was sent back to the Mechanical War God.
If there's something he can't handle, Chen Yuan will step in. If he still can't handle it, the Mechanical War God will be deployed, guaranteed to kill it.
Just as the Earth cleanup operation was in full swing, good news also came from the lunar construction.
Under Helian Hong's overall command and with the assistance of the space pirate engineers, the construction of the lunar base made a breakthrough.
The main base of Guanghan Palace has been fully restored and expanded, becoming a large-scale comprehensive base with a complete ecological cycle, energy supply mainly relying on helium-3 fusion and solar energy, defense system and industrial production capabilities.
Currently, it can accommodate more than 50,000 long-term residents.
The "Wangyue" scientific research outpost, located inside a huge crater on the near side of the moon, boasts state-of-the-art astronomical observation equipment and a quiet experimental environment, attracting a large number of researchers, including Elena and Su Chan, to take turns conducting research there.
The agricultural and ecological base has successfully established a large-scale food production system by utilizing lunar soil improvement technology and hydroponics. It is not only self-sufficient, but has even begun to supply some fresh fruits and vegetables to other parts of the world.
Those advanced scientific seeds are now being cultivated in better soil, which will result in a greater harvest.
The Ice City Resource Mining and Industrial Base is located at the lunar poles, where large amounts of water ice resources are stored, providing the base with daily water and oxygen, while also establishing a preliminary lunar surface mining and raw material processing industrial chain.
More importantly, the construction of these bases makes extensive use of lunar resources and technologies, greatly reducing the cost and risk of transportation from Earth, and also enhancing humanity's ability to survive on other planets.
Many third- and fourth-order members, as well as a large number of technicians and ordinary people, found new jobs at the lunar base, and their lives gradually improved.
Chapter 285 I’m very angry now
As Chen Yuan looked at the decreasing red threat markers on the hologram and the blue dots on the moon that represented the base, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
After clearing the Earth and establishing a preliminary lunar base, human civilization finally gained a precious respite from the ruins of the apocalypse.
However, Chen Yuan knew that the current calm was just the prelude to a storm.
The fact that the Mana ecosystem can give rise to thousands of emperor-level beings proves that it can give rise to even more.
His points have now accumulated to over 600 million, mostly thanks to the efforts of Chen Yuan's teammates.
With so many points, Chen Yuan planned to strengthen his own forces.
The Hope-class spaceship will be prioritized for upgrade to a star-class spaceship.
"Confirmed consumption of 64 million survival points, upgrading the Hope to a Stellar-class Space Battleship!"
The moment the command was given, the spaceship docked next to the Mechanical War God seemed to come alive.
Countless tiny, highly efficient nanostructures envelop it like a nebula, while a vast amount of energy is guided down from the void, completely reshaping it from the inside out.
An hour later, the brand-new Hope appeared before everyone. Its hull had increased from the original five kilometers to eighteen kilometers, like a floating continent, with a width of 4.2 kilometers, majestically standing between heaven and earth.
The flowing, deep blue energy patterns became even more profound and complex, as if they contained the laws governing the birth and death of stars.
Its core power source has transitioned from the planetary ring matrix to the Star Torch Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Furnace.
The annihilation of even a tiny amount of matter can unleash terrifying energy comparable to a planetary-level main cannon salvo, providing this colossal ship with terrifying destructive power.
The defense system has been fully upgraded to a multi-layered composite shield system, integrating a kinetic energy deflection field, an energy absorption layer, and a physical damping field for triple protection from the outside in, which is sufficient to withstand various types of high-intensity composite attacks.
The weapon system has been greatly enhanced. The original Genesis main cannon has been replaced by a corona-class heavy particle beam cannon. Instead of firing a plasma torrent, it fires a heavy particle beam that is accelerated to near the speed of light and is powerful enough to tear apart molecular structures. A single shot is powerful enough to penetrate the core of a small planet.
Meanwhile, the brand-new Starburst multi-purpose missile vertical launch system is distributed throughout the ship's hull, which can unleash a storm of missiles with different functions such as armor penetration, explosive, and EMP jamming in a very short time, depending on the characteristics of the target.
In addition, it retains a strong gravity anchoring capability to stabilize the battlefield, and adds a large-scale Firefly high-speed assault boat squadron to the existing six Guardian-class corvettes, which is specifically responsible for close-range strangulation and tactical reconnaissance.
This starship is no longer just a combat tool, but a mobile super war fortress.
In addition, Chen Yuan upgraded the nano-core battle suit.
"Confirmed consumption of 200 million points, upgrading the Loongson 10 Nanocore Battle Suit - Advancement to Type II!"
This upgrade touches upon the very essence of existence.
Chen Xin earnestly reminded him: "Brother, the Type II upgrade requires abandoning your physical head. The system will forcibly separate and preserve your soul consciousness. The process will be very painful. Do you confirm?"
After hearing this,
Even Chen Yuan felt an instinctive tremor at that moment.
After a long silence, Chen Yuan closed his eyes and thought it over again and again. He gritted his teeth and realized that life is never smooth sailing.
“Execute it!”
"Okay, brother, you have to hang in there."
The next moment, indescribable pain instantly swept over every sensory unit of Chen Yuan.
It's not physical pain, but a soul-deep torment of having one's body torn apart and one's cognition reconstructed.
Suffering from both physical and spiritual pain, his head dissipated during the reverse decomposition of the nanounits. Only his core consciousness was forcibly enveloped and extracted by an irresistible system force, and then began a deeper fusion with the nanocore that was bursting with brilliant light...
After an unknown amount of time, the pain finally disappeared.
Chen Yuan's vision returned. It felt as if his limbs had been severed, his eyes had lost their sight, and indescribable pain had overwhelmed his senses. Fortunately, it was all over.
The nano-core suit became completely symbiotic with his soul, and his head was no longer a weakness.
The brand-new Nanocore Suit Type II covers his reconstructed body, with regenerative abilities reaching an unbelievable level.
As long as the soul remains, even if the body turns to ashes, it can be instantly reconstructed using the stored energy and nano-units, allowing Chen Yuan to achieve true mechanical ascension.
The suit's weapon simulation and defensive capabilities have skyrocketed, with a 300% increase in the efficiency of deflecting and absorbing energy attacks, and a 5000% increase in the power of its nanocore.
Its mobility is also beyond the limit, with a theoretical maximum speed of Mach 25. Its short-distance spatial movement is almost instantaneous, making it a true shadow that comes and goes without a trace.
An immortal body is no ordinary human.
He is the law of walking, the undying shadow.
After the upgrade, Chen Yuan tested his abilities and found that his strength had increased more than tenfold, with his overall combat power reaching the late stage of the seventh rank. Even at the peak of the seventh rank, he would not be without the power to fight.
After doing all that, Chen Yuan continued to spend money.
Consume 128 million survival points to exchange for a second Mechanical War God.
The moment the points were deducted, dozens of kilometers away from the first mechanical war god, the world changed again, and another steel behemoth, 1200 meters tall, descended with a roar amidst the light of dimensional projection and matter reorganization.
The two mechanical warships, like ancient Titans that created the world, stood silently on the earth, radiating an invisible pressure that commanded all things to submit.
The two mechanical war gods form a perfect strategic complement.
One unit takes the initiative while the other provides cover, combining offense and defense.
Chen Yuan brought up the system interface; his remaining total points were:
Stellar-class spaceship upgrade: -64000000 points.
Nanocore Suit Type II Upgrade: -200000000 points.
The second Mechanical War God ship can be exchanged for -128000000 points.
Originally over 600 million points, now only 220,855,300 points remain.
As Chen Yuan gazed at the star-class warship in the sea of stars, feeling the power within his body that transcended life and death, and seeing the two towering steel behemoths in his vision, a smile of unparalleled joy spread across his face.
Points can be earned again, but skill is the key to success.
……
Having experienced life and death and witnessed countless sacrifices, people's longing for warmth and companionship has become even more genuine.
And so, some beautiful stories naturally unfolded.
Mark and Ran Bing, who were comrades-in-arms during the Lighthouse era and later developed into lovers, have a relationship that has become even more solid since arriving on the Mechanical War God.
A covered bridge in a residential area, at night.
Simulated moonlight streamed through the enormous domed skylight, casting soft patches of light on the cold metal floor.
