Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

As Shen Jue finished speaking, the ecstatic mercenaries felt a chill run through them.

The initial ecstasy was suddenly replaced by a chilling fear.

At that moment, a playful mechanical voice came from above the cutting-edge laboratory.

"Hi, guests from afar, look here!"

The red bean bun's clear voice made the mercenaries all raise their heads.

She even raised one hand and waved it down.

"I'm going to break your arms and legs next."

The image of the silver and red mechanical armor standing upside down on the ceiling is both eerie and seemingly normal.

The red bean bun adhered firmly to the surface of the alloy plate, and the thrusters at the joints emitted a faint blue glow.

The mercenaries' night vision goggles revealed the mechanical outline of that stunningly beautiful woman's figure.

The silver-red armor lines, if appreciated by a master sculptor, would only make one think it is the masterpiece of some ancient Greek sculptor.

On the delicate, mechanical face of the red bean bun, blue eyes were blinking.

All the mercenaries were instantly drenched in cold sweat, their combat uniforms completely soaked.

Anyone who sees a female robot standing upside down on the ceiling will feel a chill run down their spine to their toes.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The mercenary leader shouted loudly, his voice hoarse.

Dozens of military rifles were raised instantly.

The gun muzzle spewed out a dense hail of bullets, all of which poured into the sky.

A deafening barrage of shots erupted from the laboratory.

Dou Sha Bao let go of her hands, and like a drop of silver-red water, she fell into the barrage of comments.

The bullet grazed past her.

The bullet that hit her didn't even have the chance to scratch her paint before it ricocheted off and hit a few unlucky guys.

This caused the unfortunate mercenaries to groan in frustration.

The red bean bun made no sound when it landed.

She lightly touched the floor with the sole of her foot and slid out, her whole body sliding along the ground.

A mercenary was still firing into the air.

The red bean bun had already slid in front of him, grabbed his gun barrel with its backhand, and pushed him upwards.

The gun barrel changed from being pointed at the ceiling to being pointed at the man's chin.

The gunfire stopped abruptly, and the mercenary stared blankly at his gun.

Dou Shabao smiled gently, pleased that the mercenary had realized what was happening.

"They're truly elite—such a fast reaction time!"

Then she grabbed his right wrist with her left hand.

"The first time."

His wrist snapped instantly.

The mercenary's military rifle slipped from his hand instantly, but he endured the pain without letting out a scream.

Instead, he shouted, "It's here!"

"Use the electromagnetic restraint gun quickly!"

"The second time."

Dou Sha Bao then pinched his left elbow and bent it in the opposite direction.

The sound of joints breaking mingled with the mercenaries' low growls.

She released her grip, and the man knelt on the ground, his hands swaying like a puppet with broken strings.

Several mercenaries armed with special firearms decisively used the electromagnetic restraint gun.

Several blue and white electric grids emitted a piercing hissing sound of electricity in mid-air.

The moment the special restraint net unfolded, it resembled several rapidly moving, electrified spider webs swirling in the air, enveloping the red bean bun.

Dou Sha Bao watched their movements, but her eyes lit up.

The net that was about to cover her suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, all the power grids seemed to be tightened at the edges by an invisible force.

They bounced back sharply.

It travels faster than when it was launched.

"What the hell?!"

The mercenaries who fired the shots only had time to utter half a cry of surprise.

The special restraint net had completely wrapped them up, gun and all.

Blue-purple arcs of electricity crackled across their bodies, and their combat suits instantly emitted smoke.

Several people fell straight down like wooden stakes struck by lightning, their bodies still twitching unconsciously.

Red Bean Bun tilted its head: "Oh? Trying to use electromagnetic weapons against me, your father's creation?"

Her mechanical voice carried a hint of genuine doubt.

"Information asymmetry is truly terrifying."

She walked up to the nearest mercenary.

The mercenary was completely encased in electric netting, his eyes rolled back under his mask, white foam constantly oozing from his mouth, and the smell of burning mixed with ozone filled his nostrils.

Red bean bun stretched out its toes and gently nudged the net that was still crackling with electricity.

"This thing is really amazing."

"It's a pity you don't know."

"My initial design direction was an integrated offense and defense at the electromagnetic level."

"Something of this level isn't even enough to charge me."

She straightened up and looked around. The mercenaries were still firing, and those rifle bullets with armor-piercing properties couldn't even scratch the scales of the red bean bun.

The strength of the mechanical armor that Dou Sha Bao now wields is something these mercenaries could never have imagined.

Few weapons on Earth could harm the body of this mecha suit.

Even if a nuclear bomb were to explode at close range, the red bean bun would survive the shockwave and high temperature.

At that moment, Dr. Octopus laughed as six mechanical arms charged at him from the other side of the laboratory.

Six silver-black mechanical arms suddenly unfolded from behind him.

Each robotic arm is as thick as an adult's upper arm, covered with fine, scale-like armor, and has pale blue light bands embedded at the joints, just like the glow on the red bean bun armor.

The robotic arms slowly unfolded in mid-air, like a metal octopus rising from the deep sea, each joint emitting a soft clicking sound as the hydraulic rods meshed.

The mercenaries instinctively turned their guns around.

"This Doctor Octopus has gone mad!"

"Forget about that female machine! Take care of him first!"

"Fire! Fire!"

Dozens of rifles spat fire simultaneously, and bullets rained down on Doctor Octopus like a storm.

Armor-piercing rounds trailed a dark red glow under the dim laboratory lights, and the air was instantly filled with the pungent smell of burning gunpowder and the clinking sound of spent cartridge cases hitting the ground.

Doctor Octopus stood still, without moving an inch.

Four mechanical arms suddenly danced in front of him, moving so fast that only a blurry silver-black afterimage remained.

The four robotic arms resemble four rotating metal walls.

Each armor-piercing round was precisely deflected when it was still several meters away from his body.

The bullet struck the scaled armor of the robotic arm, sparking a few flecks, before changing its trajectory and causing the mercenaries to duck in panic.

While the spent cartridge case was still tumbling in mid-air, a mechanical arm suddenly reached forward and, like a viper striking, grabbed a bullet that was still in flight.

With a gentle crushing motion of its three-fingered claw, the tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile was reduced to a small, twisted lump of metal, which fell to the ground from the tip of the robotic arm with a crisp sound.

"That's impossible!"

The mercenary leader's voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak.

"If it were the old me," Doctor Octopus grinned and took a step forward, his six mechanical arms swinging slowly with his steps.

"Faced with this kind of firepower, we can only run away like dogs with our heads down."

He took another step, and the two mechanical arms responsible for attacking swam out close to the ground, their movements extremely quiet, almost without the sound of metal scraping.

"But now."

A mechanical arm suddenly sprang up, its three claws gripping the right leg of the nearest mercenary.

The mercenary only had time to let out a short scream before he was lifted upside down.

The robotic arm gave a slight shake, like tossing a tattered sack, and the man's body spun halfway through the air before crashing heavily onto another mercenary.

The two collided with a dull thud, bones hitting each other, and rolled into a heap.

"What you are facing is a mechanical creation modified by the hand of God Shen Jue!"

"With intelligent sub-entities!"

At the same time, another attacking mechanical arm swept out from the left, striking the two mercenaries horizontally in the chest.

The two men were thrown out as if hit by a truck, their combat uniforms leaving long scratches on the metal floor, their rifles slipping from their hands, and they immediately lost consciousness.

The mercenaries' formation completely collapsed.

"Scatter! Scatter! Don't stand together!" the team leader roared, but his voice was trembling.

The remaining mercenaries continued firing as they retreated, their guns flashing wildly.

Bullets struck the floor and walls around Doctor Octopus, sending up countless sparks.

But not a single shot actually hit its mark.

The metal mesh woven by the four defensive robotic arms was watertight; the intelligent sub-entity's predictions had surpassed the limits of human neural reflexes.

Every time a mercenary's finger presses the trigger, the mechanical arm is already waiting in the trajectory of the bullet.

"What the hell are we even fighting for?!"

"Here you go!"

One of the mercenaries threw down his rifle and turned to run.

An attacking mechanical arm extended like lightning, following him at a leisurely pace, and its three-fingered claw gently closed at his ankle.

"Click."

The sound of bones breaking was exceptionally clear during the brief pause in the gunfire.

Before the person could even feel the pain, they fell face down to the ground, their lower legs bent at an odd angle.

"Don't rush," Doctor Octopus chuckled, his voice deep and cheerful.

"I haven't even started to get serious yet."

His two attack mechanical arms retracted to his sides, standing upright in the air like two whips, and then launched out simultaneously.

One hand grabbed a mercenary's right elbow, and the other grabbed another's left wrist, twisting them in completely opposite directions.

Two sounds of bones breaking rang out almost simultaneously, interspersed with screams of agony from two people who also broke out at the same time.

Doctor Octopus seemed to be mimicking the rhythm that Red Bean Bun had just made; every movement of the robotic arm carried a cruel sense of rhythm.

Dou Sha Bao stood on the sidelines, tilting his head to watch everything, his blue mechanical eyes blinking twice.

"Uncle Octopus, you're imitating me!"

"Haha, Miss Red Bean Bun's methods are so elegant, I can't help but want to imitate them." Doctor Octopus responded while manipulating his mechanical arm to sweep a mercenary who was trying to flank him to the ground.

The man's body rolled three times on the ground, and the rifle flew a long way.

"But the way you used your four hands to block bullets looks like a broken fan spinning at high speed," Dou Sha Bao commented seriously.

Doctor Octopus paused for a moment, then laughed even louder.

"A broken fan... Miss Red Bean Bun's analogy is really interesting."

The mercenaries had completely lost their will to fight.

Only five or six people remained standing. Although their guns were still pointed at Doctor Octopus, their fingers on the triggers were trembling, and the sights on their rifles had long since drifted off to who-knows-where.

"Really." Dou Sha Bao sighed, his mechanical voice carrying an almost pitying helplessness.

"You guys are considered elite mercenaries on the international stage."

"But why would they choose to undertake a mission with such a terrifyingly low success rate?"

"Poor things, used as cannon fodder and cover by their employers~"

"My merciful Father will not take your lives."

Doctor Octopus cooperated by raising one of its mechanical arms, its three claws opening, and a blue light flashed at the tip of its fingertip.

A faint electromagnetic ripple spread out from him, causing the several undamaged electromagnetic restraint guns on the ground to smoke.

"Information asymmetry is truly terrifying," Doctor Octopus retorted, returning Red Bean Bun's earlier words verbatim.

The battlefield finally fell silent. Those who could still groan lay on the ground, while those who could still breathe huddled in corners.

The gunfire stopped, leaving only the faint sound of spent cartridges rolling on the floor and the unconscious whimper escaping from one of the mercenaries.

Doctor Octopus slowly walked toward the only mercenary leader still standing.

The man still held his rifle aloft, but the muzzle was already touching the ground. His legs were trembling, and his pupils behind his goggles had shrunk to pinpoints.

The six robotic arms slowly retracted in front of him, like a metal cage.

"Speak," Doctor Octopus's voice suddenly turned cold, his sneer transforming into a razor-sharp calm.

"Who sent you?"

Dou Sha Bao lightly jumped and landed next to Doctor Octopus as if it were weightless, with its hands behind its back and its exquisite mechanical face tilted up.

"Yes, yes," she blinked her blue eyes, her tone soft and sweet.

"Speak up before I break your remaining limbs too."
