The hive's huge body twitched violently, even though he had already shrouded himself in a spherical energy shield for the first time, facing the white flames gushing out from under him, the existence of the energy shield began to collapse almost instantly.

In particular, the circular lava field under him, which resembled a lava pool, continued to bring him great pain and damage. The white flame of Nasen burned his spirit, his will, and his soul!

The hive endured great pain, moving its massive body and struggling to walk through the lava pool, bent on leaving the area covered by the lava pool. The white flames that were burning on his body brought him intense pain from body to soul with every step he took.

His abilities allow him to bathe in magma with ease, allowing him to survive even cosmic storms. But just a lava pool with a diameter of thirty meters and a dodge distance can make him feel like a world away if he wants to leave.

This is the kind of fire that only exists in the dimension of hell!

Take the soul, body, and spiritual thinking of people as firewood. The moment ordinary people face it, they can only be burned out, and even their souls cannot escape.

There is a difference between this flame and the flame of the Eye of Judgment that the Ghost Rider possesses. Ghost Rider's powers, according to Mephisto, come from a demon named Zatanos, a great demon similar in power to Mephisto, in which case the two are rightfully contenders. The battle between the two demons finally ended with Mephisto's victory.

Mephisto managed to erase Zatanos's memories and enslave the other's souls and seal their bodies. This makes the cost and chances of Zatannos' resurrection much lower. Eventually, Mephisto turned Zatanos's soul into a contract. This makes the Ghost Rider who signs this contract have the soul of Zatanos attached to him, and he can use some of Zatanos's power.

Of course, this is the version given by Mephisto.

The white flame is a natural product of the Hell dimension, and its characteristic is that it has the function of burning the turbidity of the soul. Ordinary souls are burned by this flame for a period of time, and everything, including filth and emotion, will be burned away, becoming a clean blank sheet of paper, and the main tool used by the Hell Dimension to make materials. It's like fire in the hands of man.

Luke had specially obtained this flame source from Mephisto through exchange and purchase, and used a technique combined with a little magic to seal it in Nemegate's body, acting as its killer weapon.

Instead of taking advantage of the hive escape, Namegate flapped his wings and landed again, his powerful metal tail flicking from side to side.

When the hive left the lava field, Namegate puffed out his chest again, and his front body leaned back slightly, like the dragon in Western mythology when it was ready to breathe, and the moment the head poked forward, the vent also spun and gushed out a white pillar of fire.

Before the hive that had crawled out weakly began to recover, it was sprayed in the face by a white pillar of fire on its head, and the entire brain and soul were suddenly empty again. The pain in his body and soul made him even more unable to think. It is said that his current mood should be extremely angry, but because of the pain and the blankness of his brain, he can't even produce angry emotions or realize it.

The next period of time will be a cycle of chasing and fleeing, waiting and heavy battles. The whole process is not very spectacle, and if it is used to sell tickets for the battle viewing, it is believed that the audience who bought the ticket will either leave the seat with a scolding or will be drowsy and languishing in their seats.

Because the battle between the two behemoths is not exciting at all, and it can even be called completely ugly. In addition to the [light and shadow effects] and the close-to-hand fight between the two behemoths, there are also a few highlights, and the rest of the whole process is chasing and fleeing.

The Hive's most powerful ability is not his various superpowers, but his parasitic abilities! Once parasitized by him, then everything in the parasite will become his nourishment. In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Luke's low-profile version of the data dimension, except that he grasps everything about the other party through parasitism, and Luke creates it through analysis and research.

When facing other creatures, his parasitic ability is terrifying, but in the face of a metal creation, the hive can only sigh, unless he can upgrade his ability to the point of no distinction between carbon-based silicon and energy creatures, otherwise he can only choose to go toe-to-toe with Namegate.

That is, he is not a creature in the conventional sense, otherwise in the face of Namegate's attack, he would have already entered hell, instead of occasionally snorting and hitting back with a cold shot or two, as he can still interact with the other party now.

[The body is adapting to the burning of hellfire, although the amplitude is very low, but it is indeed undergoing targeted evolution. In other words, the path of evolution is not only parasitism and predation]

Although the hive is well hidden, and the performance is no different from the beginning of the battle, the data analyzed in the data dimension will not go wrong. The opponent's body is already gradually adapting to the existing Hellfire energy value.

Emergy is the temperature of a human flame.

Luke didn't try to poke at the other side, even though he knew exactly what was going to happen next. But again, the outcome of the battle, at least the outcome of the battle in front of him, is not what he cares about, what he cares about is the ability and captured data that the hive does its best to show when it is cornered.

So it doesn't matter if Lu Ke knows that the other party is acting now, pretending to be weak, dragging time to squeeze his body to recover his peak combat effectiveness, and probing Namegate's weakness in occasional attacks. He wants to see if the other party can get his wish.

Two hours later, after Namegate continued to increase the intensity of his attacks, making the Hive realize that if he couldn't solve the other party as soon as possible, then it would be himself who would be solved, and the Hive took out all its skills and carried out a focused attack on all the possible weak points of Namegate that it had collected.

In a short period of time, the hive that erupted regardless of all its strength was like a god of war! From the little white rabbit who was hunted by the dragon before, he suddenly transformed into another powerful hunter.

The two huge monsters were tightly entwined, and the tentacles of the hive wrapped the metal body of Namegate tightly, and the dense black worms blocked all the vents on Namegate's body at any cost. One after the other, endlessly. In the end, relying on numbers and adaptability, he dragged Nemegate to the nest in the last move.

Because all the vents were blocked, the white flames of Mori burned in Namegate's body. The high-dimensional energy triggers the defense mechanisms in Namegate's body and causes some damage to the parts inside.

However, the hive's decisive pounce was also exchanged for the counterattack of Namegate's defense mechanism, and within a range of fifty meters in the area around Namegate, multiple hellfire hot springs gushed out one after another, and the energy value was much higher than before.

By the time the hive had crawled out of the lava-covered area, his body was in tatters and covered in wounds, and even the huge size of a hill had shrunk by half compared to before, and he looked like he had suffered a heavy loss.

But the hive that escaped death was full of joy in his heart, although he had lost a lot of strength and body now, after all, he had removed the huge metal monster that had always brought him death threats.

He doesn't want to control the atrium anymore, human beings and the like, his biggest wish at the moment is to find a way to escape from here, escape back to his planet where he has lived for more than a thousand years, and by the way, in the last few hundred years, he must completely close the teleportation channel from here to there. It doesn't matter if you don't come back later.

Anyway, if he is single-handed, he will definitely not come to suffer in person again!

Smack!

Luke's virtual stereoscopic projection reappeared under the hive's nose, just a stone's throw away from him. Luke clapped his hands and looked at the scarred hive body with satisfaction, but still trying to heal itself.

"Human, let me go, I assure you that one day with you, my subordinates and I will never set foot on this planet again! I can also give you all the subordinates of this planet and do it at your disposal. The hive's body shrank and shrunk until it was humanoid, and the tentacles on the octopus's head twitched, opening its mouth to reassure Luke.

"There's no hurry." Faced with the Hive's somewhat urgent and humiliating assurance, Luke shook his head with a serious face.

"Why not rush?" The hive looked at Luke's projection not far away, and a heavy shadow swept through her heart. He had already decided that if the other party really didn't give him a way to live, then he would at least have to struggle hard, even if it was to destroy some more things and buildings!

"There's still the next test yet. Well, let's finish it first, and then we'll talk about whether to leave or not, and whether to let go of you. Luke gestured behind the hive, reassuring him in a gentle voice.

Listening to the sound of machinery turning behind him, the whole person of the hive stiffened, he turned around slowly, his eyes instantly turned into a dead silence, and his chest was full of thousands of swear words, I don't know where to spray.

The metal walls of the circular square were opened one by one, revealing the identical Namegate inside, and after a rough glance, there were about twenty of them just in an instant! What's even more terrifying is that in the midst of the familiar and numbing sound of metal on the hive, a total of more than thirty activated Namegate flapped their wings twice in unison, and walked out of the open metal door with their metal bodies, moving neatly.

Do you think that defeating a Nemegate will give you victory and the right to negotiate?

Excuse me.

I still have thirty-nine Namegate waiting to join the fray!

Do you understand how many defenses I have set up around the Rainbow Bridge in order to protect it!

The hive turned his head sideways in despair, looking at Luke, who was looking at him with an expectant look not far behind him, clenching his fist with one hand as if to encourage him, even with his heart that had lived for thousands of years, he finally couldn't help but break the defense a little completely.

Is it completely out of character?

Isn't it! Isn't it! Isn't it!

It was hard for the hive's octopus face and tentacles to show such a rich and intuitive expression, and Luke silently refueled him again in his heart, and at the same time gave the order to attack the Namegate without hesitation.

As long as you can't die, you don't need to keep your hands!

It's a rough one.

The next battle was equally ugly.

The hive, as always, has shown tenacious vitality, strong self-healing power, and a variety of superpowers, but these have no decisive effect other than allowing him to last a little longer and be a sandbag for a while.

And thirty-nine Namegate, with at least four versions of high-dimensional powers, can't even keep up with his adaptability. In the end, only ten minutes passed, and the hive completely gave up resisting, facing a variety of saturated and covering attacks from nearly forty Namegate, only using all the remaining strength in his body to maintain and strengthen his self-healing power. His head was now almost out of the ability to think.

Another ten minutes passed.

The beehive has become a puddle of minced meat like rotten meat, completely losing the breath of life.

Of course, this is only on the surface. However, according to the detection of the data dimension, although the breath of life of the other party has disappeared in the outside world, as far as the detected information is concerned, the hive at this moment is only dying. It can't be said to be death.

The beehive is not a creature in the conventional sense, each parasite can be said to be a beehive, and the one in front of you can only be said to be the ontology of the other party, but even if the ontology is really dead, it does not affect the survival of those parasites. Unless it is a chain blow to the soul of a high-dimensional power.

"Store and mothball." Luke gave the final order with some regret. I don't know if it's a pity that the other party didn't last a little longer, or a pity that the battle ended in the second half of the battle. But no matter what, there are a lot of data about the hive's combat, ability, and body, which are still analyzed by the data dimension. With this data, Luke can also improve the Reverse Crystallization to make it work on the Hive as well.

The next research is more in-depth, more detailed, and somewhat inhumane.

The parasite of the hive, after looking through the data, seemed to Luke to look like some kind of creature in his memory.

Zerg?

Abnormity?

Both?

Luke still needs more materials for experimentation, such as the parasites that have been parasitized?

This shouldn't be hard to find, and there will definitely be a lot of unlucky people on Nick's side who wants to send him a distress message. In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles, Luke decides to take matters into his own hands and help Nick solve those tricky problems!
