Chapter 168: Automata, Explosion

"What did you do?"

Killian looked at the mechanical parts floating around him in horror, the wounds of his mutilated limbs glowing with magma-like heat, and a limb wanted to grow out, but it was unable to return under the influence of some force.

Feeling the rapid germination of the desperate virus in his body, Killian was not just angry, but fearful.

His Desperate Virus itself is not perfect, and requires a special stabilizer to suppress its activity so that it does not explode on its own. Originally, his mind was on how to perfect the Desperate Virus, making it stable and perfect. He has not yet achieved this step. All he can do is use stabilizers as much as possible to control the activity and outbreak of the desperate virus.

All those who have been injected with the stock solution of the Desperate Virus have gained new limbs and great strength, but at the same time, they have also turned their bodies into an unstable barrel of explosives. They need to get some new stabilizers of the Desperate Virus from Killian on a regular basis so that their bodies don't explode like an explosive bag in the next moment.

But this stabilizer only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and the effect it can have is not 100%. There are always some accidents or factors of their own that cause even the test subjects injected with this stabilizer to explode like fireworks at some point during the effective period of the drug.

Originally, Killian could only wait for Maya Hansen, the other creator of the Desperate Virus, to solve the stability problem, but an accidental cosmic cube formed in the laboratory during the Battle of Washington made Killian see new possibilities.

Yes, he was a direct contact of the Cosmic Cube at the time, and he was also infected by a mechanical virus. But the Cosmic Cube sensed his longing, and the mechanical virus he was infected with gave him the ability to control his own energy. This allowed him to solve the problem that his desperate virus was unstable and could get out of control at any time under unexpected circumstances.

With the power given to Killian by the mechanical virus, the Desperate Virus injected into his body is still dangerous, but it is no longer untamable. Two different viruses formed a symbiotic cycle in his body.

He didn't find a perfect solution to the flaws of the Desperate Virus, but due to an accident, he was able to temporarily free himself from the threat posed by the Desperate Virus. As a result, Killian believes that the Cosmic Cube is a gift from the heavens, a powerful force that can help him solve the shortcomings of the desperate virus and make the power he has at his disposal go to the next level.

So Killian couldn't wait to find some "voluntary" test subjects nearby. The results of the experiment are not satisfactory, as mechanical viruses and desperate viruses exist separately, both have certain defects, and the coexistence of the two in the same host will increase the instability. In the end, Killian had to rely on his own research to improve the original stabilizer, so that it could reduce the activity of the Desperate Virus, and let the mechanical virus take the main place. It's not a perfect solution, but at least it's a stable source of some aliens.

He then teamed up with John Lake and his extremist factions, and secured a huge amount of financial support, as well as other stealth, Aim and the help he desperately needed.

Killian has always believed that he is the chosen one, he is the only chosen master of the Cosmic Cube, and he even feels that one day, he can completely control the Cosmic Cube, and once he changes the entire human race with the power of the Cosmic Cube, then he will undoubtedly become the uncrowned king!

The people who gave him humiliation and despair at that time will naturally also experience his desperate state of mind at that time.

Killian thought a lot about what would happen after he activated the power of the Cosmic Cube, but the only thing he didn't expect was that at the very beginning, he was hit.

First came the betrayal of the collaborators, which he had expected. After all, he knew exactly what kind of people his collaborators were. They are cold-blooded, cruel, do not care about life, and have no so-called morality.

The appearance of Steve and Frax of the American team was also a little unexpected to him, but in Killian's view, it was not impossible to solve, it was nothing more than a matter of spending more time and manpower.

But Luke, who quietly appeared behind him, not only obtained the cosmic cube that was heavily protected, but also dismembered his mechanical limbs with just a stretch of his hand, breaking the balance of the virus circulation within him, was really beyond his expectations.

"You're an alien too?" Killian suddenly looked at Luke as if he understood something. Only in this way can it be explained that the other party just moved his hands, and his mechanical limbs were uncontrollably dismembered into parts. This should be Luke's ability! His gaze scanned Luke's body, trying to find out what part of his alienation was. According to his knowledge of the alienated person, a large part of the ability to alienate is affected by the alienated limbs or organs.

After scanning the whole body, I didn't find any signs of mechanization from Luke, it could only be some kind of organ mechanization inside the body?

"The Machine: The Hound of Tyndaros."

Fragments of mechanical parts floating on Killian's body were assembled in mid-air with a dazzling speed and the beauty of mechanical assembly under Luke's control.

As soon as the mechanical dog's limbs hit the ground, he bared his teeth and pounced on Killian, who was close to him.

Killian's whole body was like a red-hot charcoal fire, and a high-temperature flame erupted from his mouth, which would pounce on him, and the overall body looked a little thin, and the skin was as thin as paper and cut into half.

Burst.

A stream of hot blood like magma erupted from Killian's waist and abdomen. Killian nearly fell to his knees. He only felt as if he had been slashed by an axe in his waist and abdomen, and he was about to cut him in half.

"What is this?"

With the Desperate Virus active, the wound on Killian's waist and abdomen healed quickly, and he looked up to see that the mechanical hound, which had just been split in two pieces by him from head to tail, had regained its form in a complex and pleasing reorganization. No, it's still a little different from the previous form. Its thin metal body has sinuous fiery red lines similar to the veins of human blood vessels.

Looking at the mechanical hound that pounced on him again, a flash of realization flashed through Kirian's heart. In order to confirm his suspicions, he once again used the power of the Desperate Virus to attack the mechanical hounds that pounced.

This time, however, the same intensity of the attack, while repelling the mechanical hounds that pounced, did not cut it in half as before. The other party seems to have a certain resistance to his high temperature after an attack!

The familiar wound reappeared on Killian's body. Despite the rapid healing of the Desperate Virus, Killian's heart was completely heavy.

This attack confirmed his suspicion that the mechanical hound, made up of the mechanical body separated from his body, still had some mysterious connection to him. The other party is still part of his limbs! So even if the other party separates and attacks it, it is still equivalent to attacking Killian himself.

Coupled with the reorganization characteristics of the other party, it becomes tricky. Not everyone can be like him, who can keep the desperate virus in a highly active period in a short period of time.

His gaze was on the mechanical hound, which had been hit by the heat beam and collapsed to the ground. Under his gaze, the mechanical parts of the hound's body were reorganized again, and the red vein-like lines on the body became more and more conspicuous. Even faintly, a little leaked high temperature was revealed from the other party.

It's evolving!

Highly adaptable evolution!

A terrifying thought flashed through Kiri's peace of mind that suffocated him. The opponent adapts to his attacks in the regrouping again and again, and eventually becomes immune to his attacks! Killian didn't know how this was done, but he knew that if it went on like this, he would definitely die under the hunt of this mechanical hound.

And all of this was caused by the Luke in front of him!

yes, Luke!

Kirian raised his eyes to look at Luke standing ten meters in front of him, in any case, since the mechanical hound was created by the other party, as long as the other party is eliminated, will the hound lose control, and be able to recover as before, and turn into limbs back to him?

Killian didn't know if that was right or not, but in the current situation, he was willing to give it a try.

"Catch him! You can kill him if necessary! Killian commanded as he pointed at Luke as he gestured to the somewhat bewildered aliens beside him. Killian's words woke up the aliens on the field, who were a little dazed by the sudden change. Almost without hesitation, the other party rushed towards Luke in part, while the other part protected Killian against the mechanical hound.

"Bad choice."

Luke looked at the influx of aliens and held out his hand again.

Lions, hounds, mice, beetles, owls, snakes.

One by one, the mechanical creations separated from the aliens' mechanical bodies and organs, and then all of them attacked their original masters. The worst of all was the Iron Alien who was fighting the green monster called Flax brought by General John, who had the largest area of body alienation and the larger the mechanical creations he separated. It was a majestic metal lion.

"Damn it! What the hell is this! Why are our mechanical limbs separated? Why would they turn into such beasts and attack us? "An alien was entangled in his body by his own mechanical limb creation, a silver-white metal snake whose entanglement was even as powerful as that of a python, and he felt that his struggle was getting harder and harder. The high lethality of the Desperate Virus against metals does not have much of an advantage in these mechanical creations. Even the other side is becoming more and more resistant to high temperatures.

"What did you do?" Killian's eyes were shattered at the sight, and he looked at Luke with angry eyes. It's only a distance of ten meters, but this short distance is like an insurmountable moat! Any Alien who tries to rush in front of Luke will be attacked by a frenzy of mechanical creations to which they belong.

A group of mutilated, grotesque-looking aliens retreated in front of Killian, confronting the mechanical monsters that slowly surrounded them in horror.

"It's just a trivial little technique. I separated them, constructed them, released some of their consciousness data. Faced with Killian's rage, Luke explained earnestly.

"Release?" Once again, Killian pushed back the mechanical hounds that pounced, ignoring the ever-faster reconstitution time and increasingly difficult evolution, and now he just wanted an accurate answer from Luke.

"Didn't you notice? There is some subliminal inside the Cosmic Cube! If left unchecked, it will eventually digest and absorb those fragmented consciousnesses, and then give birth to its own consciousness! It's an item you don't know and can't control. Luke said as he stretched out his hand, circling the cosmic cube that floated like a satellite, slowly shifting its course under the gaze of Killian and the others, levitating above Luke's palm.

"It's just a dead thing!" Killian deceived himself. He finally knew where his strange sense of communication with the Cosmic Cube came from.

"It's a dead thing. But it was formed, absorbing too much of the consciousness of the dead Zetarians. Although these consciousnesses are fragmented and unsystematic. Luke first affirmed Killian's words, then retorted. In fact, the essence of Shuo Yuan is still his ascending overflow power, the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and most importantly, the emotional/psychic power, as well as some research accidents on Killian, which led to the appearance of the Cosmic Cube, a special item that houses three great powers.

Killian didn't dig out the real use of the other party at all. In other words, he did not exert the true ability of this cosmic cube at all. He uses the Cosmic Cube in the same way that Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. uses the Cosmic Cube.

"How do you possibly know this?" Killian was still reluctant to believe Luke's words.

"These machines, made from mechanical materials separated from you, have a strong desire for your being. They will share the damage, the life, and the death with you.

If you don't die, they won't die, and they won't stop. They are like the hounds of the legendary Tyndaros, and will hunt their prey until they are completely dead. Luke didn't answer Killian's words, but just watched the scene of primitive killing by the mechanical body in front of him. However, Killian and the others no longer bothered to listen to Luke, and they had gradually taken care of themselves under the attack of the increasingly powerful mech, which had been destroyed and regrouped again and again.

After repelling his mechanical hound for the last time, he didn't wait for the other party to pounce again, his whole body was covered with healing wounds, and the conscious Killian raised his head and looked at Luke calmly, and after showing an inexplicable smile on his face as red as charcoal, he no longer controlled the increasingly active desperate virus in his body, but kept pushing it up and pushing it up and down!

In the end, it is like an erupting volcano, and all the energy in his body erupts in an instant!

The violent explosion, along with the surrounding aliens, drove the desperate virus in their bodies, which was also in an extremely unstable state, and successive explosions occurred one after another.
