V2/Chapter 21: Look at me more
Kosma, among the several existing fusion warriors, is an inconspicuous existence.
In terms of specialness, Dystopia who can use telekinesis, and Aponia who can see fate, are much more special than him. In terms of strength, the captain and vice-captain of the fusion warrior team, Ato and Kevin, are also above him, not to mention the eye-catching Elysia whose strength is unknown.
In addition, he is not good at socializing and rarely shows up outside of missions. It can be said that even though there are only a few fusion warriors now, he is the one who is most easily forgotten.
But if we analyze it only from the perspective of a fusion warrior, then he is the most special one among these people.
Because the Honkai Beast gene he fused came from a Judgment-level Honkai Beast codenamed "Vishnu".
And now, perhaps only Ai Yue knows that it is not a Judgment-level Honkai beast, but a special existence that can grow infinitely by devouring and cannot be defined.
Because of Vishnu's characteristics, Kosma has fewer risks when performing fusion warrior surgery, because Vishnu will actively adapt to his genes, so as to complete the fusion warrior surgery as smoothly as possible. However, Vishnu's characteristics also bring risks. That is, when Kosma uses the power of a fusion warrior, he must constantly devour the Honkai beast factor in order to remain rational.
If the battle lasts too long and he cannot replenish his Honkai Beast Factor, he will go into a rampage state.
This is the situation Hua is facing now.
When in the rampage state, all of Kosma's attributes will be greatly improved. This is a sign that the Honkai Beast gene in his body has begun to become highly active. And as the Honkai Beast gene continues to become active, his strength will become stronger and stronger.
However, this is not a good thing, because the activation of the Honkai Beast genes comes at the cost of devouring human genes. This is the "autophagy phenomenon" of Kosma.
Once the proportion of Honkai Beast genes in his body exceeds a controllable threshold, he will be distorted and transformed into a horrible monster.
This phenomenon, called "overweight superchange", was later called "artificial eruption" by Mobius.
However, even though he was very clear about these things, Ai Yue was not worried about Hua at all - because the Taichu Armor had taken into account the excessive weight and super-change of the fusion warrior from the very beginning of its design. It can even be said that it was made to match fusion warriors in this state.
The mental force sensing structure derived from the power of the Eighth Herrscher, the space compression storage system derived from the power of the Second Herrscher, the self-circulating energy system for recovering Honkai energy derived from the power of the Third Herrscher, the cell acceleration and activation potion derived from the power of the Sixth Herrscher... and, most importantly, the special alloy First Generation Soulium that is extremely resistant to Honkai energy.
Humans... No, almost all of the most advanced scientific and technological achievements mastered by Ai Yue were applied to this set of armor, and it is foreseeable that as the technology he masters continues to increase, this set of armor system, as well as all subsequent armor systems, will continue to evolve.
One day, technology will surpass the limits of Honkai energy, thus opening up Ai Yue's ideal world.
But for now it's better to focus on the battle in the training ground.
After Kosma entered the rampage state, Hua's own skills alone could no longer compete with the opponent, because her reaction could not keep up with the opponent's speed, and her skills seemed a little powerless when facing excessively high numbers.
Of course, this is all when the "combat assist" function has not yet been turned on.
After receiving Ai Yue's signal, Hua issued the command to "start combat assistance function" without hesitation. The next moment, the "spectator perspective" was turned on again, and it was different from the last time.
All four floaters hidden in Hua's head armor popped out immediately and completed the scan of the entire training ground in just half a second. At the same time, the high-speed camera installed on the floater also captured Kosma's movements. With a frame rate of up to 500 times per second, the movement trajectory of Kosma, which is difficult to observe with the naked eye, was clearly marked on the display screen in front of Hua.
At the same time, the auxiliary AI system whose core processor was located on the belt also marked Kosma's predicted actions in front of Hua's eyes. It can be said that Hua knew the other party's actions even earlier than Kosma.
Not only that, it even calculated the best response method by combining Hua's fighting habits with Kosma's attack route and passed it to Hua.
Not only that, when Hua was counterattacking, the armored AI was also simultaneously calculating and allocating energy supplies to various parts of the armor, giving priority to allocating energy to the offensive routes used by Hua, making her movements faster and her output more ferocious.
It was precisely based on these conditions that Hua was able to counterattack Kosma so promptly and blast him away.
However, such an attack was still not enough for Kosma at the moment. He just rolled on the ground twice and stood up again. Hua's punch just now shattered most of the opponent's uniform. At this moment, the purple scars on his chest could be seen gradually fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
'What kind of recovery ability is this?'
Hua couldn't help but feel shocked - of course she had long imagined how powerful the fusion warriors were, but it was not until now that she had an intuitive understanding of it.
If it was the previous Kosma, Hua was confident that he could knock him down with this elbow, but he didn't expect that facing the current Kosma, he couldn't even cause any substantial damage.
[The enemy's threat index has increased.] The armored AI had obviously also calculated this, so it issued a warning, [Lift the level 3 combat restriction, non-lethal weapons are online.]
The next second, Hua saw that the armor on her hand was deformed. The armor on the back of her hand and forearm split and flipped, revealing an internal structure with special circuits that were connected to each other.
She subconsciously clenched her fist, and then saw crackling flashes of electricity on her fist.
'Is this thing really not lethal?
Such a thought flashed through Hua's mind for a moment, but the interface in front of her changed at this moment. Kosma once again chose to take the initiative to attack. This time, just like the beginning, he directly attacked the face with his claws to dig out the heart!
Without having time to think, Hua subconsciously raised her hand and thrust it straight forward. Kosma's head seemed to be offered to her on purpose, and in the next moment it took the initiative to hit her fist and flew backwards again.
This time he was unable to stand up, because the electric light on Hua's fist spread to Kosma's entire body the moment it touched him. The powerful special electric current directly shocked Kosma to the ground and he kept twitching, like a fish on the shore.
"The battle is over."
As the armored AI issued its verdict, Kosma finally calmed down and seemed to have fallen into a coma.
Hua breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at Ai Yue. The doctor in a white coat was walking towards her with a smile. When he saw the girl turn her head, he did not forget to give her a thumbs up.
It was not until this moment that Hua finally smiled.
'I won.'
