You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 149 Interrogation
"You...who are you?!"

The captain of Universe 2 looked at the menacing motorcycle before him, which exuded an aura of destruction, and his voice trembled with fear.

His prized squad, the elite hunters who dared to roam freely even in the heart of the Steel Empire, was slaughtered in a mere few minutes by this mysterious enemy of unknown origin in a manner that was almost like a joke.

The feeling is like a group of battle-hardened professional soldiers being completely outmaneuvered and killed by a player wielding beginner weapons, using all sorts of unbelievable bugs and crazy maneuvers.

Frustrated and angry.

But more than anything, it was a deep-seated fear.

Who I am is not important.

Li Zhe's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"The important thing is that you shouldn't have come here."

He slowly raised his arm, the menacing dragon head cannon aimed at the trembling mech.

"Tell me, what exactly is the conspiracy between your 'Creation Council' and the 'Featherbeak Group'? And... how did you manage to transport the resources from the Abyss back to your home planet?"

"I...I don't know!" the captain denied instinctively, but his shifty eyes betrayed his inner panic.

"Is that so?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Zhe's lips. "Zero, play him some 'good stuff'."

【Yes, Commander.】

The next second, a specially processed audio clip was clearly transmitted to the captain's ears through a public channel.

That was a recording of his conversations with his subordinates on the communication channel; every word and phrase was clearly recorded.

"The intelligence about the 'Creation Council' is accurate..."

"With it, we can completely break free from the shackles of those old humans..."

"...Complete the 'Ultimate Creation' project..."

Upon hearing these words spoken by his own mouth, the captain's face instantly turned ashen.

He couldn't understand how the other party had managed to steal their communications, which were encrypted with the highest level of biometric key, without anyone noticing.

This is no longer a technological crushing victory; it's a complete dimensional reduction attack!
"Now, do you still want to say you don't know?" Li Zhe's voice was like a death knell.

"I..." The captain opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He knew he had no room for further excuses.

Faced with absolute intelligence superiority, any lie appears pale and powerless.

However, his survival instinct led him to make a final struggle.

"You want to know? Fine! I'll tell you!" he suddenly roared, as if to vent all the fear in his heart. "But you must promise to spare my life!"

"Oh?" Li Zhe raised an eyebrow. "You think you still have the right to negotiate with me?"

"Don't push me!" The captain's voice turned hysterical. "My implant core is deeply bound to my vital signs! Once I die, all the data here will self-destruct instantly! You'll get nothing!"

He seemed to have grasped at a straw, and his tone carried a hint of fearless madness.

"Let me go! I'll tell you everything I know! Otherwise, you won't know anything!"

"interesting."

Li Zhe couldn't help but chuckle at his blustering yet cowardly appearance.

“Your technology in Universe 2 is indeed quite impressive.” He paused, his tone suddenly turning incredibly sinister. “However, you seem to have misunderstood one thing.”

"what?"

"What I hate most is being threatened."

The moment the words left his mouth, Li Zhe moved.

The engine of the Nether Dragon Rider roared once again, transforming into a black lightning bolt that could not be seen with the naked eye, and instantly appeared in front of the "beetle" type armor!
"you……!"

The captain only had time to utter a cry of surprise before he was slammed to the ground along with his mech by an irresistible force!
"boom--!"

The solid metal floor was smashed, leaving a huge dent. "I'm giving you one last chance."

Li Zhe's voice was like a cold wind from the deepest hell, icy and piercing.

"Speak, or die."

"I...I'll talk...I'll talk!"

Faced with absolute power and the threat of death, the captain's last shred of hope was utterly crushed.

He spilled everything he knew, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"...We, the 'Creation Council,' are the most advanced biotechnology research organization in Universe 2...Our goal is to use the power of the Abyss to drive the genetic evolution of humanity and create a perfect 'new human'..."

"...'Featherbeak Group' is our partner in Universe 7...They provide us with resources and intelligence, and we provide them with technical support..."

"...The 'Ultimate Creation' project is the core of our cooperation... We are attempting to use special genetic samples from multiple parallel universes, as well as mythical-level abyssal materials, to create an ultimate life form comparable to a 'god'..."

"...That Fusion Core can be used to activate the 'Ultimate Creation' in our universe!"

Li Zhe's tone remained icy: "Where exactly is your base located?"

The captain completely broke down: "On...on our Blue Star...on the Far Eastern Islands of Blue Star No. 2..."

"No wonder you're cooperating with the Featherbeak Group; you're 'relatives' from a parallel world." A cold killing intent flashed in Li Zhe's eyes. "One last question: how exactly do you manage to achieve two-way material transport? What's the specific principle behind it?"

This question seems to have triggered some kind of taboo switch.

The captain's face was instantly filled with an unprecedented fear. His pupils contracted sharply, and his body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

"No... I can't say it... I'll die if I say it..." he said hoarsely, almost pleading.

[Commander, a violently abnormal fluctuation has been detected in the target's vital signs! Inside its implant core, a high-energy biological—a toxin egg—is being activated!]

The alarm bells rang in Li Zhe's mind.

It seems that the “Creation Council” had already implanted some kind of self-destruct device inside the other party's body.

Once the most critical secrets are leaked, it will be activated immediately.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

The captain let out a bloodcurdling scream that was not human. His body swelled and twisted rapidly like an overinflated balloon!
Strange, dark green patterns, like a spider web, instantly covered his bio-armor.

next second.

"boom--!!!"

A mass of dark green biomass, filled with the stench of poison and decay, exploded from the core of his armor!

Terrifying corrosive liquid splashed everywhere, hissing and emitting nauseating white smoke as it corroded the surrounding metal floor.

"What a beast!"

Li Zhe skillfully maneuvered the Netherworld Dragon Rider backward, avoiding the deadly corrosive area.

He stared at the pool of remains, now completely turned to pus, his brow furrowed.

Although we didn't get the most crucial information, we still gained some valuable insights.

From the edge of the still-smoking wreckage, Li Zhe found a miraculously intact data chip encrypted with special biotechnology.

【Name: Encrypted Data of the Creation Council】

【quality:? ? 】

[Type: Special Situation Reporting Tool]

[Effect: Contains core secrets about the "Creation Council" and the "Ultimate Creation" project, but requires a special key to decipher.]

[Note: The truth behind the truth may be one you cannot bear...]
