"Apostle."

This inexplicably familiar name awakened the system's memory all along, and it suddenly remembered a word that Lin Ling had mentioned to it in the original world: artificial apostle.

At the same time as this term fell, a trace of imperceptible emotion also came from Lin Ling's side.

Lin Ling's body, which was broadcast on the screen, paused slightly.

It seems that the moment she heard this word, Lin Ling's state became no longer as calm as she was at the beginning.

She looked at the huge creature that wrapped Li Yu and saw the yellow crystals protruding from the other's chest.

The shape of the polyhedron and its irregular edges and corners are reminiscent of a yellow magnified version of the "viral spores" crystals.

Lin Ling barely squeezed out a smile and looked at the strange creatures that were constantly growing and occupying the entire hall, "Apostle? The Apostles Who Brought Destruction? That's a fitting name. ”

Around her, countless deformed monsters still surrounded her.

There are still human shadows on those strange figures.

"No, it's salvation."

A mixture of male and female accents resounded in the hall, and the being, known as the "Apostle," raised his slender head and opened his eyes.

The dark eyes are full of compound eyes like insects.

The slender neck has a thin layer of tentacles dancing around it.

The nanomachines gradually moved from the ground, clinging to its body to form layers of armor.

[It's not scientific.] 】

Through the live broadcast, the system saw that the machines had penetrated directly into the apostle's body, proliferating through their flesh as if they had taken root.

However, the monster's flesh and blood still did not diminish in the slightest, as if ignoring the conservation of energy, and the torn wound was quickly filled with new flesh and blood.

The Apostle was still completely clothed in armor made of nanomachines, once again covering his already hard body.

"Neither of us is scientific, and we are not qualified to speak about others." Lin Ling pretended to complain casually, but her expression was tense.

Her gaze remained on the Apostle, trying to find traces of her familiarity in it.

She didn't find any signs.

Lin Ling raised her hand and spoke to Li Yu, who had already merged with the apostle, before these monsters were about to rush towards her, "But before that, can I ask a question?" ”

The scene that had happened in the center was reproduced here again, but the difference was that Lin Ling no longer felt the slightest anger.

She was calm.

"Do you know the third planet in the Milky Way constellation Orion?"

"No, what's wrong?"

The apostle's head, with the face of a human woman, was crooked, and the voice that came out of his mouth was full of the gentleness of Li.

"Really? That's ......."

Lin Ling raised her head to meet it, and the smooth helmet cracked with a strange jagged tear that spanned her entire face like a mouth.

"Great."

The sharp blade sliced through the bodies of the surrounding monsters like wings, and the green blood sprayed with countless blue crystals cut a bright red mark in the air, splattering on the silver-gray metal walls around them, staining the muzzles of the cannons sticking out from above.

At some point, the long stick that had been deformed was hovering and coiling around Lin Ling like a long whip, and the sharp metal blade spread outward like a bird's wings.

Drops of green blood mixed with flesh foam were falling from above.

The monster that had surrounded Lin Ling had been separated from its body, and circles of blood were sprinkled all around.

She spread her hands, the crack in her helmet slightly open, and the inside was pitch black and empty.

"So I can slaughter you with confidence."

There was a rare joy and excitement in her tone, and countless cannon muzzles spread out from her body, and blue beams of light pierced the space and shot directly at the Apostle.

[Ding-]

[Mission Change: You are in front of the culprit and the source of infection that caused the lesions in this world, please do your best to kill it!] ]

The voice that had not been heard for a long time sounded in his ears, but the words that came out of it were no longer as rigid and boring as they were at the beginning, and the syllables at the end intensified and stimulated Lin Ling's excitement now.

She couldn't tell what she was happy about, but her mind was full of one thought right now.

Kill (eat) it!

The desire from the body agreed with herself at this moment, and the long whip wrapped in flesh and blood swung down, scattering the layers of nanomachines that attacked directly into the beam and suffocating into charcoal.

Seeing the beam of light that occupied almost the entire field of vision, Li Yu, who had turned into an apostle, frowned deeply.

Those beams of light prevented any of his attacks from reaching Lin Ling.

This time it was his turn to experience the feeling of the scene getting out of control, and the soldiers who thought he was just an ordinary underground army transforming into a human were now turning into war machines, destroying everything with a complete stranger.

"Anomaly phenomenon detected."

Lin Ling stepped on the wreckage of the nanomachine, the muzzle on the armor and the plasma gun in her hand tilted forward with powerful firepower.

The detection program of the exoskeleton armor also operated autonomously at her full power, popping up bright red boxes in the helmet's field of view and locking onto "Li Yu".

She had figured out that now was the best time to attack.

"Phenomenon code is ...... in query"

Several grenade-like objects were thrown into the air by her.

Li Yu, who was confident in the apostle's defense, did not take this attack seriously, and did not even unfold the initial barrier.

"Code name 02, 'Apostle.'"

"Verdict Level: Critically Critical."

"Kill program unlocked."

Several objects thrown into the air made a clicking sound at this moment.

Tiny needles coated with liquid shot at it overwhelmingly.

Because the distance was too close and the explosion was too fast, Li Yu didn't have time to block it at all, and countless thin needles were directly inserted into its body.

At the same time, as soon as it came back to its senses, a metal-clad fist slammed down on it.

The history that had been staged in the central room was repeated here again, and the strange force that had been expanded several times directly smashed Li Yu's head into the ground, and the huge body was directly overturned to the ground, and countless broken bricks were splashed on the cracked ground.

Lin Ling wouldn't think so simply that she could defeat the Apostle with an ordinary physical attack, her current advantage was just to take advantage of Li Yu's lack of complete fusion with the Apostle.

So it has to be done quickly.

With her backhand, she had already crushed the small ball-shaped device, and the piercing high-pitched voice instantly spread through the hall.

Fragments of the cracked glass roof continued to fall, and the surrounding nanomachines that were about to attack also emitted a trace of electricity and finally scattered to the ground.

Along with the original broadcast equipment, it also collapsed one after another, so that no one else could see the scene here.

"You keep talking about salvation, and you talk about gods one by one, but I don't think you know much about the apostles of your gods."

Feeling the suction force coming from under her, Lin Ling didn't have half a love fight, and directly used the long whip to get stuck against the wall and get away from Li Yu's side.

Countless baby arms are sticking out from under the disintegrating nanoarmor.

"You're right, I'm too ignorant, and in a sense I'm too underestimated."

Propped up from the shards, the skull of that type of person had been visibly deformed on his face.

Li Yu wanted to use the apostle's repair mechanism to repair it, but suddenly found that the flesh and blood in that piece had died and could no longer regenerate.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing, but ......"

Lin Ling smiled under the helmet.

"My armor was developed especially for your apostles."
