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

Chapter 168 Even if I'm a fleet of machines (Part 1)
Li Zhe's figure moved silently through the chaotic construction site.

He did not summon any mechs.

With its superhumanly strong muscular body alone, it easily evaded all surveillance and patrols.

The builders, blinded by rage, were completely unaware that a "ghost" capable of determining their fate had infiltrated their most heavily guarded core area.

……

Ten minutes later, Li Zhe arrived at his destination.

The giant nuclear fusion reactor, pulsating like a heart and brimming with futuristic technology, stood silently before him.

A vast and pure energy flowed continuously from the core of the reactor, and was transported to every corner of the construction site through thick energy pipes.

This is the lifeblood of the entire "Third New Tokyo City".

This is also the perfect stage for Li Zhe's upcoming "purification drama".

"Commander, the core energy zone has been cleared, and I have temporarily taken over all monitoring equipment."

Zero's voice echoed in Li Zhe's mind, calm and efficient.

"very good."

Li Zhe nodded and took out the trophy from the maintenance hangar, a trophy captured during "Operation Sunset" that was filled with an ominous and eerie aura.

Queen's Egg!
[Commander, the plan has been confirmed.] Zero's voice was calm and efficient. [Using the purest and most abundant initial energy released from the fusion core, we will 'directedly catalytically hatch' the Queen's eggs. This will grant them preliminary 'mental overwriting' and 'biological modification' abilities even in the nymph stage.]

Li Zhe nodded and carefully placed the queen's egg at the reactor's energy output port.

To cover their tracks, Zero had already fabricated a flawless "core energy stress test" log in the system's backend.

"let's start!"

Li Zhe gave the order.

A massive amount of energy, like a golden torrent, instantly surged into the purplish-black egg!

"Buzz!!!!"

On the eggshell, the gorgeous yet eerie patterns lit up instantly, emitting a heart-pounding pulse.

In a blinding purple light, the eggshell bloomed and shattered layer by layer, like a lotus flower.

"Crack!"

What unfolded from within was not the elegant winged creature one had imagined.

Instead, it's a...

A nymph, about half the size of a human, with a form somewhere between a silkworm and a caterpillar.

Its segmented body has a crystal-clear, jelly-like texture, and under the light of the fusion core, it shimmers with a dreamlike seven-colored halo. On both sides of its body are several pairs of small, delicate, and adorable fleshy feet, like cat paws, with pink pads at the ends. When it walks, it waddles along, looking incredibly endearing.

Its head, however, lacked any of the ferocity of an insect. Instead, it possessed a delicate face remarkably similar to that of a young human girl, with small, perfect features and a natural blush on its cheeks, like a porcelain doll fast asleep.

Those huge compound eyes were tightly closed, and their long eyelashes trembled slightly like two small fans.

It exudes a strange, sweet scent, like fresh grass mixed with milk after rain, full of the purity and innocence of newborn life. Cute, sexy, yet carrying a hint of inexplicable strangeness.

This queen nymph was born in a way that was both unexpectedly cute and surprising.

It slowly opened its huge compound eyes, which flickered with the confusion of newborns and the absolute, soul-deep admiration for Li Zhe.

It has no wings, but its body floats lightly, like a weightless balloon.

It wriggled its soft body and affectionately nuzzled Li Zhe's cheek, gently rubbing its face, which resembled that of a human girl, while making a satisfied "gurgling" sound in its throat.

Then, it opened its cherry-like mouth and let out a silent, yet soul-shaking, spiritual shriek!
An invisible mental storm, centered on the reactor, instantly swept across the entire construction site!

The storm did not target the builders.

Instead, it precisely targeted those "fake boxers" who had already been marked by Zero, those corrupted by the abyss memes, and... those who tragically perished in this chaos.

On the plaza, the people who were fighting fiercely suddenly went blank under this irresistible mental shock and all fainted.

Those hypocrites and degenerates hiding among the crowd, constantly fanning the flames, suddenly froze.

A flicker of painful struggle flashed in their eyes, only to be replaced by a hollow purple light.

These most fanatical "gender warriors," like puppets with their strings pulled, laid down their weapons, their eyes becoming vacant and submissive.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies, enveloped in purple light, began to undergo drastic changes.

Both masculine and feminine characteristics are quietly fading away.

The body structure is transforming into a more efficient, more uniform, and gender-neutral form.

Their muscles became more refined, and their bones became stronger.

And those organs that symbolize gender differences were completely "optimized" away in this silent transformation!
As for the already cold corpses, they rapidly decomposed and recombined in the purple light, transforming into faintly glowing insect eggs, quietly awaiting the day they could hatch again and be reborn...

[Commander, mental overwriting is complete, biological modification is complete.] Zero's voice rang out. [Their memetic link to the Abyss has been completely severed, transforming them into 'worker bee puppets' absolutely loyal to you.]

When the purple light faded, those former "boxers" had completely changed.

They stopped arguing and stopped attacking.

Instead, it is like the most sophisticated robot, acting according to Li Zhe's will.

With impeccable efficiency, they began quietly clearing the battlefield and repairing facilities.

This sudden "gender war" subsided in a bizarre way that no one could understand.

Under Zero's seamless information manipulation, the truth of this conflict was concealed by a more "reasonable" explanation.

An investigation report titled "Investigation Report on Mass Hallucinations and Violence Caused by Anomaly in Underground Gas Leakage in Ward A-7 of Tokyo-3" released by an anonymous third-party expert group quietly appeared on the internal server of the United Government.

The report "scientifically rigorously" argued that the root cause of the conflict was a high concentration of unknown gas deep underground, which, under the catalysis of some geological activity, leaked to the surface through the construction tunnel, causing serious disruption to the nervous system of the builders and triggering a large-scale mass hysteria.

Those missing "boxers" and fallen individuals "unfortunately" became victims of this "accident."
