Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Since he has begun to prepare for a showdown with Otto to a certain extent, Gwyn naturally has to try his best to obtain conditions that are favorable to him, such as acting more like Kallen and trying to replicate Theresa's status to a certain extent.

Of course, Gwen had his reasons for doing this—

Gwyn's extraordinarily powerful mental strength and Yuetian's speed gave him the confidence to face the nuclear explosion.

"call……"

At the headquarters of Destiny, after receiving Gwyn's affirmative answer, Otto breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene from five hundred years ago seemed to flash before his eyes again.

However, this time, Otto was no longer so powerless——

"Application approved. Activate intensified combat mode, receive new shield program, and be prepared for any unexpected events."

"receive."

Upon hearing this, Gwyn immediately activated an intense combat mode that even he could not withstand if full firepower was used.

Fortunately, this time Gwyn didn't need to take into account both top speed and combat effectiveness, he just needed enough horsepower.

In the sky, a faint blue light traced a clever arc, sticking to the shield surrounding the missile and causing it to deviate from its original trajectory...

The missile's trajectory changed, and Kokolia, the instigator, naturally discovered it first.

"..."

Kokolia, who had just been gloating over her operation of adding a shield to a nuclear missile, now had a gloomy expression.

She had never imagined that Tianming's armor level had reached such a level, overturning all her calculations.

"Mom Cocolia, since the plan has failed..."

In the suburbs of Changkong City, Bronya, who had been synchronizing information with the command center, spoke out at the right time, trying to persuade Cocolia to change her ways.

However, after hearing Bronya's persuasive words, Cocolia seemed to be stimulated by something and shouted hysterically,

"shut up!

Bronya, don't forget Seele!"

In her green eyes flashed a bloodthirsty light like a wolf, and Kokolia shouted sternly,

"For Xi'er, for the sake of moving this world towards a brighter future, some sacrifices are but a small price to pay. It can only be said that this is their fate."

"But... Mother Cocolia, is what we're doing the justice you talk about?"

Noticing Cocolia's hysteria, Bronya, who had already approached the warehouse Cocolia mentioned, still wanted to save her adoptive mother.

"What is justice?

Justice is what the winners say in high-sounding words!

There is no justice if you are a loser!"

Noticing that Bronya's tone had softened a lot, Cocolia believed that Bronya was still under her control, so she quickly softened her tone and said,

"Besides, Bronya, we haven't lost yet—

Although our plans of concealing the truth, sneaking through Chencang, and closing the door to catch the thief have all been thwarted, our diversionary tactics have still worked, and... we still have a plan to cut off the source of the trouble!"

"what?"

Bronya was stunned, and instantly recalled that there seemed to be a copy of "Thirty-Six Strategies" placed on Cocolia's bedside?

In the distance, Gwyn, who was unaware that Cocolia was actually playing the Thirty-Six Stratagems for his own amusement, was pushing the nuclear bomb into the sky to create a safe environment for detonation.

And in an unknown corner, a component of the shield generator on the nuclear missile quietly burned out due to long-term overload operation, causing the originally rock-solid shield to disappear in an instant.

Gwyn, who had lost his target, instantly crashed into the nuclear missile inside at high speed, causing the small flame to instantly cause an explosion.

As for Gwyn, his hair stood on end instantly. The terrifying sense of crisis instantly made Gwyn's spirit tense to the extreme -

Chapter 232 Asking for help

"Damn Cocolia, what a rubbish nuclear bomb you are!"

Feeling the deadly sense of crisis coming from the nuclear warhead beside him, Gwen immediately began to curse in his heart -

The fact that he felt such a sense of crisis could only mean that the nuclear bomb in front of him was about to explode.

Even though Gwen was not a military fan in his previous life, he did have some knowledge of nuclear bombs from some novels describing World War II.

This big thing will not explode like homemade explosives just because of a little open flame, but requires a special fuse to detonate.

In fact, in order to detonate a hydrogen bomb, the atomic bomb inside it must be detonated first.

However, the nuclear bomb in front of Gwyn would explode just because of a little flame and collision. Gwyn certainly had reason to despise the technology in Cocolia's hands.

As for the claim that this might be a special nuclear bomb in the world of collapse, which is easier to detonate?

Even Gwyn, who was bombed, would never think of apologizing to that madman Cocolia.

While cursing Cocolia in his heart, Gwyn had already stopped supplying power to the flight module and was concentrating on strengthening the barrier. No matter whether it was built into the armor or made by himself, he maxed it out in an effort to maximize the defense.

As Gwen pushed hard on the missile in front of him with his right foot, he finally created some distance between himself and it. In Gwen's eyes, a flash of white and red light suddenly appeared in the missile in front of him.

"Grass!"

Without time to increase the distance, Gwen cursed in his heart and raised his hand to summon the Apollo body stored in his backpack.

The next moment, Gwyn's vision of the missile that was emitting a white and red glow was occupied by a giant sword stained with a golden rainbow.

"Sorry……"

Without even having the chance to look at his childhood idol, Gwyn dodged the giant sword on his back and hid behind Apollo.

The next moment, Gwen's vision was occupied by endless white light. Knowing that this was the nuclear warhead on the missile being detonated, Gwen immediately closed his eyes. While consolidating his barrier with all his strength, he poured the excess energy in his body into the Apollo body in front of him.

Gwyn still remembered that what was in front of him was just a body, and its core energy ball was no longer there.

Although this may not affect the strength of Apollo's body, it is a close-range nuclear explosion that exceeded Gwyn's expectations. The high temperature alone is tens of millions of degrees Celsius.

If possible, Gwyn still hopes to have some energy to strengthen Apollo's body.

boom!

At the Destiny headquarters, looking at the figure swallowed by the white light on the big screen, Otto, who was considered a wise man by everyone, suddenly stood up, and the chair behind him fell to the ground, and the sound echoed in the combat command room.

A series of data were reflected in Otto's somewhat out-of-control green eyes, comparing them with the moon and sky data stored in Otto's soul steel body and the collected records of Gwyn's past battles.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Otto's expression softened slightly as he calculated that his backup plan might be effective, but his voice remained icy cold.

"Amber, closely monitor the signals from the Changkong City battlefield and capture that female vixen!"

"Yes……"

Hearing the murderous intent in Otto's words, Amber nodded in agreement with a rare strong subjective will in her heart, and immediately began to assign tasks.

And above, Otto looked at the light that was blinded by the nuclear explosion, and the desire for control that had been suppressed by the message in the necklace quietly rose in his heart -

“It’s still too messy…

Yu Duchen... not so good. This kid has strong mental strength and is not as easy to fool as little Theresa.

So, it still requires some 'growing pains' to grow up quickly..."

As this thought came to mind, Otto suddenly remembered some points that he had previously overlooked.

"Besides, the report only mentions K-423... Given their personalities...

call……

It really looks like her..."

Although he recalled some of the past, there was no warmth in Otto's eyes at this moment. Only the coldness and calculation that had permeated his life since five hundred years ago remained.

"So, I still need some lessons..."

Meanwhile, in the Anti-Entropy Base in Vladivostok, Kokolia looked at the notification that the nuclear bomb had been detonated prematurely, her expression so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it, yet she didn't lose her composure.

The nuclear bomb that exploded was just a weapon that had not yet completed all the tests and could not be put into actual combat. Let it be destroyed. Anyway, there have been so many troubles today, so this little bit doesn't matter.

Moreover, it can be considered the first successful experiment. Even if the required data cannot be collected, it can still serve as a deterrent.

In Cocolia's opinion, no matter who was intercepted, that condition was doomed.

Compared to paying attention to the nuclear bomb that carries a considerable amount of tactical fraud and has more strategic significance than tactical significance, Kokolia is more concerned about the battlefield in Changkong City at this moment.

After all, her current goal is not to kill people, but to capture Raiden Mei.

To achieve this, Bronya's cooperation is needed——

Cocolia quietly activated the chip's shallow program, asking Bronya to be quiet and a little more obedient, and said in a deep voice:

"Bronya, listen carefully. You can only enter the password once. If you enter it incorrectly, the explosives buried underground will destroy everything here—"

A password is..."

And at the nuclear explosion in the distance, Gwyn, hiding under the giant Apollo, was falling towards the earth with it.

As Gwyn expected, with layers of protection, the nuclear bomb did not take his life, but only caused him some injuries.

However, Gwen did not feel relaxed at all, and his expression became more solemn than before.

It was unknown whether it was because the machine, without the core energy ball, was spontaneously seeking strength, or because of the energy mixed with Honkai energy injected by Gwyn, but the energy input into Apollo's machine, which was originally just a temporary measure by Gwyn, was now difficult to end no matter what.

"No, I can't do that. This body seems to have formed some kind of connection with your energy due to the previous energy injection, just like the close connection between your body and the energy within it, it can't be separated..."

Rarely, Eden's calm and elegant voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and powerlessness.

Even Eden, who Gwyn considered a genius in the field of energy manipulation, was helpless in the face of this situation.

"Well, please, Eden, I'll see if there is any other way..."

Although Gwen, who was already embedded in the Apollo's body like an iron nail attracted by a strong magnet, felt a little disappointed, he was far from discouraged.

"I just got hit by a nuclear blast and luckily survived, but now my energy is connected to the mecha in front of me and I can't disconnect. Have you ever had a similar case?"

First, he sent a message for help to the second netizen who had just provided valuable data. Then, Gwen contacted Kevin through the spiritual connection and repeated the situation.

"Kevin, do you have any ideas?"

"..."

Realizing that this connection was not as smooth as before, but rather quite unstable, Kevin realized that Gwen might be in real trouble this time.

Moreover, the nuclear explosion...

Through some of the information that Gwen took the initiative to share with him, Kevin clearly realized that the nuclear explosion that Gwen mentioned was the weapon that ultimately caused Velvet to become autistic. This caused ripples in his heart, which seemed to be frozen in ice.

With mixed feelings, Kevin frowned and carefully checked Gwen's condition.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ruan Mei, who had been absentmindedly embroidering, picked up the embroidery she had just put down. Upon seeing Gwen's message, she instantly put down what she was doing, thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and quickly replied:

"I need more accurate information, preferably..."

Ruan Mei paused halfway through typing. Looking at her still blank profile picture, she hesitated for a moment, deleted a few words, and replied,

"However, according to your description, perhaps this machine body has undergone some changes after being exposed to the Honkai energy you mentioned, and has begun to actively seek power.

The simplest approach now is to inject energy into it. When the energy reaches saturation, your crisis may be resolved...

I have some external energy sources here. If you need them, I can send them to you for a try. I’m just not sure if you can use them, and you might have to face an enemy that you personally cultivated…”

Chapter 233 A miracle by coincidence?

Seeing the answer from this hitherto anonymous netizen, Gwen couldn't help but frown—

Indeed, Honkai energy can corrode not only living things but also machines.

He just happens to have one energy source, but as it is said, what if he feeds out a big daddy in the end?

While Gwen was thinking, Kevin, who had been silent for a moment, also spoke -

"This machine should have originally possessed a considerable degree of intelligence, but now it's been contaminated by Honkai energy and is showing signs of corrosion...
