Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

After that, Luo Kunlun loosened his grip on the bespectacled man.

The dissipated phantom of consciousness vanished completely, and the bespectacled man collapsed to the ground like a soulless puppet, only making meaningless hoarse sounds.

Luo Kunlun didn't look at him again; he had already extracted all the information from the bespectacled man's memories.

Next, it's time to meet the so-called "controller".

With a flicker, Luo Kunlun disappeared at the end of the dilapidated street, leaving Bai Lang standing there, looking at the bespectacled man who was in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time.

.........

4-13 cities, metropolitan areas.

In stark contrast to the dilapidated and desolate downtown area, this place was a true paradise on earth.

Skyscrapers pierce the clouds, their glass curtain walls reflecting neon lights and starlight, illuminating the night sky as bright as day.

The hovercraft shuttled back and forth on the dedicated waterway, the low hum of their engines blending into a magnificent symphony.

People come and go in a constant stream; well-dressed elites hurry about, their conversation filled with buzzwords about capital and technology.

Furthermore, a large number of fully armed soldiers, wearing exoskeletons that gleam with a cold light, patrolled the city in hovercraft equipped with heavy firepower.

Their eyes were sharp as eagles, and the murderous aura they exuded was completely out of place with the surrounding prosperity.

On the exterior walls of some high-rise buildings, a soft glow emanates, projecting images of GG composed of illusory human figures.

In this era, commerce and capital have long since broken free from their constraints, becoming an undeniable behemoth.

A behemoth like Shengdian is like a regional warlord, controlling a city's energy, education, military industry, and even the lives of countless people.

As for the nominal government, it has long since become a forum for various forces to bicker and argue.

The legislators all have their own financial backers. They receive corporate sponsorships and speak eloquently in parliament, yet they cannot even pass a bill that truly benefits the underprivileged.

In the very heart of the city, stands a skyscraper that is 300 meters tall.

The building was constructed using special materials, making it capable of withstanding even missile attacks.

The Shengdian Group logo at the top emits a dazzling blue light in the night sky.

This is the headquarters building of Shengdian Group, the uncrowned king of the entire 4-13 city.

Even across the entire Fourth Continent, the Shengdian Group is a formidable force, rivaling the giants of other cities.

The security of the entire building was so tight it was outrageous.

On the ground, soldiers equipped with full-body exoskeletons are deployed in layers of defense; in the air, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft patrol 24 hours a day; and underground, there are hundreds of gravity-sensing doors. Any unauthorized creature that approaches will be instantly torn to shreds by the metal storm.

At this moment, in the top-floor conference room.

The top executives of the Shengdian Group gathered together, the light from the crystal chandelier shining on them and illuminating their smug faces.

On the conference table, holographic projections flashed continuously, showcasing various projects.

"The S13 gene agent has entered the clinical trial stage. The subjects' internal energy concentration has increased by 300%, their physical strength has reached the peak of the external environment, and the side effects are within a controllable range."

"Research on the new weapon, Black Knight III, has made a breakthrough. The armor is equipped with a miniature nuclear reactor that can drive the electromagnetic cannon to fire continuously. It is also equipped with a mental interference device that can effectively kill martial artists at the Transcendent Realm."

.......

As the most powerful group of people in the entire 4-13 cities, all they sought was a longer lifespan and greater power.

Everything in this world boils down to the word "struggle".

In the past, on the continent, martial artists had to fight for territory and seize resources in order to break through their limitations and reach the highest level of martial arts.

The business world is like a battlefield, and the struggles between big capitalists are extremely brutal.

When one side loses, it means utter disgrace, even the destruction of their family and death, with only death as their last resort.

Therefore, developing new drugs and new weapons is of paramount importance.

This is not only to meet the needs of the group's true master and controller, Thor, but also for their own benefit.

Only by possessing sufficient strength can one gain a foothold in this life-or-death struggle.

Just as the researchers were preparing to report on the next project, an invisible force suddenly struck the entire building.

The power came silently, yet was incredibly strong.

The defenses, impenetrable even to missiles, shattered instantly, turning into dust. The thick alloy walls were also easily torn apart, like paper.

The dense network of surveillance equipment and gravity-sensor doors were rendered useless by this force, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Before the senior executives of the Shengdian Group could react or even see the enemy clearly, they were crushed into a bloody mess by this force.

Blood splattered across the expensive carpet, its color mingling with the light from the crystal chandelier to create a bloody scene.

But this force did not stop there.

Like a raging tsunami, it spread rapidly along the structure of the building, shattering the armor of exoskeletonid soldiers and causing drones to explode in mid-air...

"call!!"

Inside the underground research institute, 200 meters below the surface of the Shengdian Group.

In the center of the research institute stood a towering figure, two meters tall. His body faintly exuded a silvery-white metallic sheen.

This is Thor, the mastermind behind the Shengdian Group.

He was awakened from his practice of thunder magic.

Upon reaching the realm of the Controller, the cultivation method is to imitate the heavens and the earth, which means using one's mind to mimic the changes of heaven and earth.

Lightning is one of the changes in the world, and also one of the most violent forces in the universe.

While mimicking lightning, it can also draw lightning into the body to temper the physical form.

In addition, continuously conducting scientific research and then applying it to oneself is also a way.

Just like in the past, martial artists of the old era had to fight for territory and resources in order to reach a high level of skill.

In this era, the struggle has shifted its focus to mastering cutting-edge technologies.

This is why almost all those in power have one or more groups and research institutes under their command.

"What's going on? What was that premonition I just had...?"

Thor frowned, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in his eyes.

At his level, his perception of danger and malice had reached an unbelievable level, almost like foresight.

Just now, a deadly crisis overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, making him extremely uneasy.

who is it?

Who would lay a hand on him?

Does it even have the ability to kill itself?

There are no fewer than fifty people, both openly and secretly, who control the entire Secret Martial World.

Thor believed that even if he wasn't among the top, he was certainly no ordinary person.

Even those ranked high among the controllers would have to think twice before taking action against him.

In just three seconds, a multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.

"No, it's not safe here anymore, we must—"

Before he could finish speaking or even take any action, a terrifying force pierced through the thick rock layer and landed on the entire underground research institute.

click-

With a crisp sound, the Shengdian Group's building, along with its underground research institute, was sliced ​​in two by an invisible force.

At the critical moment, Thor's pupils suddenly contracted, his body crackled with electricity, and he punched at a 77-degree angle above his head.

That was the direction in which his martial arts spiritual senses warned him the most!

Accompanied by a near-visible flash of lightning, visible shockwaves suddenly erupted within the spacious underground research chamber. Wherever the shockwaves passed, instruments crumbled inch by inch, and even solid rock formations collapsed with a deafening roar.

The controller has extremely high control over their own body and can change their body shape almost at will, whether tall or short, fat or thin, as they please. This is just child's play.

Of course, its own quality remains unchanged.

What's truly terrifying is that they can use alien energy and high-energy matter to make themselves stronger.

Examples include electricity, uranium ore, and gene-based pharmaceuticals.

By relying on these external forces, the limits of the human body are broken.

Having been in control for many years, Thor's strength has long exceeded one million pounds.

At the same time, his martial arts will became incredibly solid and underwent a transformation, with the electric light surrounding him capable of easily destroying a person's spirit.

Body and will are the foundation of a martial artist.

The combination of the two creates many wonders.

Using one's own strength, one can draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

In scientific terms, it means that the human body's own magnetic field attracts the great magnetic field of heaven and earth, so every move has the power to shake mountains and rivers.

Human power has its limits, but the universe is boundless.

For this reason, the controller is a god in the eyes of mortals, a different species.

Originating from humans, yet surpassing them, they are therefore called—the New Humans!

But now, Thor, this new human, has come to the end of his life.

Descending from the sky, Luo Kunlun's figure slowly solidified. He didn't even actually make a move; merely relying on the spiritual power of a three-ringed being, he disintegrated Thor's attack inch by inch.

The overwhelming mental power descended like a net, crushing down Thor's body as easily as catching a chick by the neck.

Thor's pupils dilated suddenly, his eyes filled with unbelievable terror.

He could sense that the other party was an extremely terrifying creature!

But I had never heard of such a thing before.

............

After easily capturing Thor, ignoring his tough physique and martial will, Luo Kunlun began to study him.

Thor felt as weak as an infant in the face of this power, with no room to struggle.

A strange, hoarse sound came from his throat, and the electric sparks around him flickered like extinguished candle flames before finally fading into silence.

Those high-tech components, fused into flesh and blood, crumbled inch by inch under Luo Kunlun's crushing power, emitting a piercing metallic cracking sound.

"Martial will, mental strength, and spiritual power compared to..."

Mental strength and spiritual strength can be described as one intangible and the other tangible.

Spiritual power can interfere with material reality, while mental power can interfere with illusory thoughts.

The will to fight is the manifestation of this power.

A near-predictive sense of crisis, mental intimidation, lethality, hallucinations...

It's amazing; it's something different from magic.

Luo Kunlun once broke through to the Saintly Awakening realm, so his martial arts skills are quite high.

The difference between a Saint and a Controller is probably the difference in mechanics and numerical values.

One is to understand one's true nature, and the other is to strengthen one's mind and spirit.

The latter has greater universality and also helps the former make breakthroughs.

.............

Thor's eyes were filled with resentment and fear. He was unwilling to accept that after a lifetime of dominance, he would end up like an ant, being choked by the neck and having no chance to struggle.

At the same time, he was also afraid of the power of the person in front of him, a level he had never seen before.

It is neither the technological weaponry that new martial arts rely on, nor the martial arts honed by ancient martial arts.

That power was incredibly strong, on a completely different level, making him laugh at even having the thought of resisting.

Who exactly is this person?

Is it another controller? Or a reclusive powerhouse?

"Wait, why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

A vague thought suddenly emerged from the depths of Thor's chaotic consciousness.

That was when he was a child, about 130 years ago.

Back then, City 4-13 wasn't called that yet, and the Lower City hadn't become a slum.

Every year on the spring equinox, his parents, along with many other people in the city, would put on clean clothes and flock to the city center square to hold a grand celebration.

The celebration is to commemorate the legendary mysterious hero who vanquished the demon, the second God of War in the world of Secret Martial Arts.

He also remembered that there was a stone statue standing in the center of the square.

Back then, he would stand on tiptoe and reach out to touch the base of the stone statue, listening to the adults tell stories of the mysterious hero.

God of War, Holy Awakening, ah.

After becoming the one in control, he scoffed at it.

Modern martial artists, empowered by gene-enhancing drugs, exoskeletons, and high-tech weapons, have long surpassed the strength of ancient martial artists, both in terms of their lower and upper limits.

The so-called Holy Awakening God of War was nothing more than the pinnacle of ancient times, a time of scarce resources and backward technology.

Relying on flesh and blood to carve out a path to survival in a barbaric era might be considered powerful, but compared to those who control the world, they are simply incomparable.

The controller can shatter mountains with a single punch, unleash lightning to incinerate cities, and extend their lifespan several times over through technological modifications...

Could that War God, who didn't even leave behind a complete name, have accomplished these things?

As times changed, that commemorative holiday gradually disappeared.

In today's fast-paced world, the torrent of capital and technology is sweeping everyone forward at breakneck speed, and no one is willing to reminisce about that ethereal legend anymore.

Apart from some elderly people in underdeveloped areas who keep the stories passed down from their ancestors, very few people would take the time to celebrate a festival that originated four hundred years ago.

But for some reason, at the moment when Luo Kunlun grabbed his neck, Thor suddenly felt that the man in front of him had an inexplicable resemblance to the statue that people worshipped in his childhood memories.

"Who...are you?"

Thor used his last bit of strength to force out a single sentence.

Luo Kunlun did not answer.

After concluding this brief "study," Luo Kunlun tightened his fingertips slightly.

Click.

A soft, crisp sound accompanied the sound of a body shattering.

He released his grip, and the massive body shattered into pieces.

Afterwards, it pierced through layers of collapsed rock, stepped out of the underground research institute, and hovered in mid-air.

At this very moment, the entire city of 4-13 has fallen into unprecedented chaos and heightened security.

The piercing alarm ripped apart the city's prosperity, and the sharp siren sounded through the sky. The once bustling streets were instantly paralyzed. Well-dressed citizens fled in panic, and screams and cries mingled together, turning into a chaotic sea.

Rumbling--

The heavy tracks rolled over the asphalt road, making a deafening noise.

Countless main battle tanks sped in from every corner of the city, their black cannons raised high, all aimed at the ruins of the Shengdian Group building.

A jet-black infantry fighting vehicle followed closely behind. The doors swung open, and fully armed soldiers filed out, their electromagnetic rifles flashing with a cold light, quickly forming a tight blockade.

The air was even more fraught with danger.

Dozens of armed helicopters roared in, their rotors whipping up a fierce wind that sent dust billowing everywhere.

The missiles mounted on both sides of the fuselage exuded a deadly aura, while the machine gun under the fuselage slowly rotated, its scope firmly locked onto the figure above the ruins.

Further away, several massive strategic transport planes streaked across the sky. The doors opened, and special forces clad in heavy exoskeleton armor descended from the sky. Their armor flashed the logo of the Bio-Electric Group, clearly indicating that it was the unrevealed Black Knight III prototype.

The army surged in like a tidal wave, completely surrounding the ruins of the Shengdian Group building, so that not even a fly could escape.

Countless gazes focused on Luo Kunlun in mid-air, weaving together an invisible net.

Shengdian Group is a pillar of cities 4-13, with complex and intertwined interests.

This terrorist attack against the Shengdian Group is undoubtedly a declaration of war against the entire city!

.................

"Put down your weapons, and I will not kill you."

Luo Kunlun hovered in mid-air, his voice calm and still, yet it resounded like thunder over the city of 4-13.

Wherever the sound waves reached, the soldiers who were poised to attack paused slightly, their fingers unconsciously tightening around their weapons.

Luo Kunlun was able to come here because there are still people in this world who remember him and know that he was here.

So, before the fight started, he addressed them one last and only time.

pity.

"Hmph, ignore it!"

The roof of a command vehicle was suddenly ripped open, and a man in a general's uniform poked his head out.

"We are equipped with the latest electromagnetic railguns and armor-piercing missiles! Three military satellites are also locking onto the target in real time! Furthermore, three controllers are on their way!"

"He's nothing but a damned terrorist!" the general roared deafeningly. "This inhuman madman must be eliminated immediately!"

An army equipped with high-tech weapons is a general's reliance.

No matter how powerful the controller is, he is ultimately not a god in the true sense.

This is also why society can continue to exist and function.

"Fire!"

Following the order, the main battle tanks were the first to attack.

The black muzzle burst forth with blinding flashes of fire, and several armor-piercing missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, shot toward Lokunlun like meteors.

The electromagnetic machine guns on the tanks fired wildly, and blue currents intertwined to form a dense net, blocking all space for evasion. The armed helicopters in the air were also firing at full power, and the roar of missiles and machine guns resounded through the sky.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and the explosion was deafening.

The entire sky was shrouded in this terrifying firepower.

"He's courting death."

Luo Kunlun's voice remained calm and unwavering.

What needed to be said has been said. Since the other side refuses to listen, the only option left is to fight.

Before the words were even finished, dozens of missiles trailing flames had already hurtled in.

But just as these missiles were about to touch Luo Kunlun, they seemed to hit an invisible barrier and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Luo Kunlun didn't even raise his hand; with just a slight thought, an invisible force enveloped all the missiles.

The next second, those extremely expensive missile bodies began to disintegrate from the inside out, as if they were made of paper.

The outer shell peeled away, exposing the wiring... until only the explosive core remained, suspended alone in mid-air.

Then, the extracted explosive cores suddenly changed direction, carrying an even more ferocious speed than before, like dozens of black meteors, and shot back towards the tanks and helicopters that launched them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and flames shot into the sky.

The armor of the main battle tanks was pierced as easily as paper, and the ammunition inside exploded, turning into huge fireballs. The attack helicopters were blown to pieces in mid-air, and the wreckage fell like raindrops, hitting the ground with deafening roars.

In just one encounter, the heavy firepower unit was rendered useless.

The soldiers on the ground stared in disbelief at the raging flames, their blood seemingly freezing at that moment.

Before they could react, the next moment...

The silvery-white light surrounding Luo Kunlun suddenly surged, and he unleashed a tremendous power, transforming into a giant who stood in the city.

A terrifying pressure swept outwards like a tsunami, causing the air to freeze and the light to distort wherever it passed.

boom--!

The soldiers on the ground felt an invisible force rushing towards them, as if they were being pressed down hard by an invisible hand. Their blood froze instantly, their weapons clattered to the ground, and they didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

The arrogant general was thrown away by the oppressive force, crashing heavily onto the roof of the command vehicle, spitting out blood.

Gazing at the silver-white giant standing in the city, its pupils reflecting the raging flames, the former arrogance and fanaticism had vanished, leaving only a deep-seated fear and despair.

Simply standing there rendered his entire army useless; they couldn't even get close...

How could this be a terrorist?

This is clearly a god who has come from ancient times!

"I said, lay down your weapons and I will not kill you."

"Unfortunately, none of you are willing to listen."

Lokunlun's voice traveled through the giant and resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

Just then, three giant flying ships appeared on the horizon.

The ship's hull is made entirely of a special dark gold alloy, stretching for thousands of meters, resembling three steel mountains suspended in mid-air.

That was the vehicle the controller created for himself, and the tool for exploring the stars!
