American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Therefore, under his control, the electronic squids gradually narrowed their front lines, confronting the Astartes only in the world where they were stationed, but no longer expanding outward.

This behavior is very inconsistent with the greedy style that the Conqueror Kang has shown in the past. It is obvious what the other party is plotting in secret.

At this time, after counting the number of people, Dane found that there was one person missing in the Astartes Legion.

"I see. Kang has now obtained Adamantium."

If it were someone else, even if they obtained the adamantium alloy, they might not be able to crack the secret.

But Kang is different. This guy can repair the spaceship with Janet in the quantum field, and he has high technical capabilities himself, so we have to be on guard against him.

Facing a large number of mechanical servants and electronic squids, the only advantage the Astartes have is that their defense is far beyond the reach of the enemy. Once this advantage is gone, the situation is likely to reverse and become unfavorable to them.

"So, we must take the initiative!"

Now that the world where Kang's army is located has been opened, it means that Umbrella can once again enter it. No matter what Kang is planning, Dane does not intend to give the other party time to develop.

"But Boss, how do we deal with the number of enemies?"

The leader of the Chamber of Commerce hesitated for a moment and then took the initiative to ask.

Dane did not answer immediately, but instead took a look at the information sent by the Astartes, especially the information related to the electronic squid, and paused for a while.

This thing... the more I look at it, the more it looks like it!

Kang's new army of electronic squids looks very much like the mechanical squids in "The Matrix".

In the last war, not only did the enemy capture an Astartes, but they also seized a lot of electronic squids, which are now being urgently sent here.

Compared to Astartes, electronic squids are much easier to catch.

"Boss, the stuff has arrived."

Just as I thought of this, the spoils were delivered from the front line.

Dane suddenly felt something and immediately said, "Wait, don't let that thing in yet. Leave it outside. I'll go out and take a look myself."

His men followed his orders, and soon Dane saw the motionless electronic squid in the open space outside the base.

This thing looks slightly larger than a heavy motorcycle. Its shell and tentacles are forged from some kind of high-strength alloy. The structure of the tentacles looks very similar to Dr. Octopus's tentacles, which means that its degree of freedom may not be far from that of a real squid tentacles.

"A nearly perfect killing weapon."

After abandoning their human form, this new type of mechanical soldier actually possesses higher lethality. No wonder Astartes rarely saw their warships appear when they fought against Kang's Legion this time.

With this electronic squid, most combat missions that warships can complete can actually be completed by them on their own, and they will be more flexible in responding.

But Dane still doesn’t understand how Kang coordinates these squids for tactical coordination. Does he rely on artificial intelligence?

If it were just an ordinary artificial intelligence, it would probably be difficult to defeat the Astartes. The unique rigidity of the program would reveal huge flaws in front of them.

If it is strong artificial intelligence, how can Kang ensure that such intelligence will not backfire on itself?

If it is strong artificial intelligence, which can command such a large number of mechanical soldiers with ease, it must have real wisdom and can be regarded as an independent intelligent life form.

Isn’t Kang afraid that it will become the master like the Supreme Wisdom?

Thinking of this, Dane suddenly became curious and wanted to take the squid apart to see its internal structure, which might answer his questions.

But at this moment, something strange happened!

The electronic squid, which had been quiet and seemed to be completely silent, suddenly had its thirteen compound eyes light up red, as if it had come alive, and turned its "eyes" towards Dane.

Although it was just an electronic eye, Dane seemed to feel the scrutiny, and he instantly understood that the consciousness of a living person was hidden in this electronic squid.

That is undoubtedly Kang the Conqueror.

So Dane raised his hand and stopped the actions of the surrounding Astartes. If he had been a little later, the explosive bomb would have smashed the squid in front of him into pieces.

"It was our first meeting, and I didn't expect it to be in such a setting."

The electronic squid's red eyes flashed slightly, and a harsh electronic sound was emitted.

"I never thought that the biggest obstacle to my career would not be Janet, but you."

"Who are you!"

After seeing the elite of Astartes, Kang understood that they were definitely not trained by Janet, nor were they weapons developed to target him.

This is not Janet's style, nor is it within her capabilities.

Janet may be able to create powerful weapons and cutting-edge technological creations, but she doesn't know how to fight, let alone lead large armies.

Otherwise, the resistance army she led would not have been hiding after fighting Kang for so long.

The Astartes, a military branch that is clearly used for large-scale legion warfare and may even be a preparation for space warfare, is definitely not something Janet can come up with.

From the moment he saw the Astartes and their warships, Kang knew that his enemy was someone else, but he had no idea about the other party's background.

Dane wasn't stupid enough to share his intelligence with the other party. He just smiled and said, "I am your enemy now, nothing more. Kang, you suddenly appeared in this world now. Do you think you have the ability to annihilate my army?"

The electronic squid sneered: "I won't make the same mistake twice. Once I figure out what the power armor your army is equipped with is, it will be your demise..."

This sentence contained a lot of information, and countless speculations instantly appeared in Dane's mind.

Daring to say such a thing, the other party obviously has great confidence. As long as they figure out the material, they can bring Astartes into a catastrophe, right?

To break through the adamantium's defense, it is theoretically possible to use more powerful physical attacks to forcefully break it.

However, according to calculations within Umbrella, this can only be achieved by Thor swinging his hammer with all his strength.

Even if Kang's future technology can achieve this, it is impossible to equip all the soldiers with Thor-level combat power, right?

If he really had this ability, he wouldn't have been flattened by a group of ants in the movie.

Therefore, Dane is more inclined to believe that the other party can use special means to decompose the microstructure of the adamantium alloy and cause it to disintegrate naturally.

This is not impossible, the matter decomposition device created by Dane can easily do this.

As long as he can fully analyze the microscopic structure of a substance, he can easily decompose any substance with this machine.

If Kang's secret weapon was something similar, then he could indeed boast of wreaking havoc on the Astartes.

Chapter 998 War begins

Just as Dane was thinking about Kang's trump card, something suddenly went wrong with the electronic squid.

The Astartes, who had been nervous and staring at this side, immediately rushed forward and used his tall body to block Dane behind him.

"Boss, something's wrong!"

Dane pushed the giant away with a palm, glanced at the electronic squid, and said disapprovingly, "It's the same old trick again."

Then he stretched out his hand, and the invisible force field instantly grabbed the electronic squid in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it was squeezed into a ball.

The electronic squid's thirteen red lightbulb eyes suddenly flickered, as regularly as the readings of a stopwatch.

This thing is undoubtedly counting down, it wants to self-destruct!

After a few seconds, the electronic squid's iron body suddenly exploded, and a bright white light shone through the cracks, and then turned into a ball of burning flames.

Even though they were still some distance away from the electronic squid, the people around it seemed as if they could feel the heat generated by the explosion, burning their skin.

The leader of the Chamber of Commerce quietly retreated while the electronic squid was still reading the data, and protected everyone in front of him.

At this moment, he felt the heat coming from the air and was suddenly startled.

But such a violent energy explosion was only a flash in the pan. Under the isolation of the invisible force field, ninety-nine percent of the energy generated by the explosion was still confined inside the force field. After being isolated from the air, it soon became unsustainable and gradually went out.

Only then did Dane disband the force field, letting the electronic squid, which had become scrap metal, fall to the ground.

At the same time, he ordered: "Before bringing those electronic squids into the lab, give them a few hits with EMP."

"Yes."

When the leader of the Chamber of Commerce heard that he was being spoken to, he quickly responded and expressed his admiration for the strength that Dane had just displayed.

He just noticed that when the other party showed his strength, he was not wearing a battle suit. His abilities were not given by technology!

This seemingly insignificant thing actually shows the essential difference between him and Kang the Conqueror.

"Let the frontline troops retreat first and guard the entrance to the world. Now is not the time for a decisive battle."

Faced with millions of electronic squids, even if Astartes is personally powerful, it is difficult to shake the foundation of Kang's Legion.

The other party has the resources of an entire world to support them and can continuously produce these mechanical soldiers. They don't mind competing with Dane in consumption.

On the contrary, Dane would be heartbroken for a long time if he lost an Astartes. The strength of this type of troops comes at a huge cost and resources, and it is not worth exchanging them for miscellaneous soldiers.

Because of their relatively small numbers, it was difficult for the Astartes Legion to attack Kang's Legion's world. They could not break through the electronic squid's defenses, especially since the other side was very good at suicide attacks regardless of casualties.

Thousands of electronic squids exploded at the same time, and even the Astartes had to temporarily avoid the attack. Even if they could withstand it, the battleships could not withstand it.

But the situation is different when the strategy is switched to a defensive one. With the advantages accumulated previously and the cooperation of the Merchant Alliance, it is very easy for Astartes to prevent the electronic squid from continuing to attack other worlds.

After all, the number of troops Kang could control was still limited, and fighting at the world's gateway further limited his advantage in terms of manpower.

So for a while, the offensive of Kang's Legion was gradually curbed and was confined by the Astartes Legion near the entrance of the world channel.

However, Kang's army did not make any tactical adjustments, but everyone could feel the urgency of the impending storm.

Dane has his own way of dealing with this.

The Astartes were not his trump card. After all, it was an organized army, and they were mainly used for conventional combat.

Although this "routine" is somewhat different from what most people think, the Astartes Legion is mainly aimed at other powerful interstellar armies, such as Ronan the Accuser's fleet, the Nova Corps, Thanos' Black Order and other famous interstellar forces.

These are the opponents that the Astartes Legion should compete with. As for the electronic squid... after Dane dissected it, he already knew that the actual operator of this thing was Kang the Conqueror.

The other party's desire for control is so strong that he is even unwilling to let artificial intelligence replace the control program. So many electronic squids are actually all actively controlled by his mind.

Astartes' opponent seemed to be Kang's army, but in fact he was alone.

This guy isn't afraid of his head exploding!

But this also shows from the side that Kang's current mental strength must be so strong that it is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It is better for Astarte not to get too close to him, so as not to be accidentally controlled by the other party's mind.

The war was in a stalemate, and whatever Kang was preparing, Dane had no intention of waiting for him.

He asked all the legions and the business alliance to work together to move the huge quantum shuttle directly to the world closest to the front line.

This task was not easy and the workload was daunting, but it was successful thanks to the efforts of Umbrella and the Chamber of Commerce at all costs.

Behind the entrance to the world channel that the two sides are fighting for, a quantum shuttle that looks like a huge mouth of the abyss is aimed at the world channel.

"Clear the battlefield and create a shooting range!"

All Astartes Legions fighting near the passageway immediately retreated after receiving the order, staying away from the passageway and the entrance and exit of the quantum shuttle.

Dane sat in the control center, calmly adjusting the timeline between the quantum world and the real world. The work there had already been completed, waiting for him to pull the trigger.

After the Astartes' collective retreat, the electronic squids immediately occupied the world's portal and swarmed to destroy man-made buildings and base weapons in the surrounding areas.

They swarmed in from the other side of the passage and faced the huge entrance of the quantum shuttle. That thing was like a huge celestial body hanging high in the sky, with great visual impact.

Out of caution, Kang did not send all the troops in the rear to attack immediately, but observed carefully.

He didn't know that this was the quantum shuttle he had been thinking about for several years, and it was also his hope of escaping this world. He just thought it was a strange-looking weapon.

......Although, his guess was not wrong.

With Kang's cooperation, when Dane was ready, he started the shuttle directly.

The huge shuttle passage suddenly lit up with dazzling orange light, like the rising sun. In the eyes of the electronic squid, these orange lights were stacked one on top of another, like countless concentric circles, and finally formed a huge cannon barrel.

Kang didn't hesitate at all and immediately ordered the electronic squid to lead all the troops to withdraw from the current world.

No matter how big your gun is, it's useless if you can't hit the person.

Due to their previous caution, the electronic squids quickly withdrew from the current world, but this did not prevent the quantum shuttle from completing its mission.

Suddenly, a beam of dazzling white light lit up from the center of countless orange concentric circles in the sky, and then it covered the sky like a punishment from heaven, shooting towards the direction of the electronic squid's retreat!

Suddenly the earth shook, and everything in heaven and earth was shaken!

Chapter 999 Dominate the battlefield

The huge white light melted the steel the moment it touched the electronic squid, as cleanly and neatly as a blackboard eraser wiping away chalk dust.

The white light not only brought a powerful melting ability, but also an indestructible impact. It would wear away everything along the way, and the strong wind it stirred up would turn all the outposts built by the Astartes into ashes.

The beam of light moved forward until it disappeared into the world channel.

On the other side of the passage, a beam of light appeared. This world, which had been occupied by the electronic squid, was painted in the same style as the industrial world controlled by Kang. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and the electronic squids were moving through the clouds, almost covering the sky and the moon.
