ocean-life Chapter 453 Offense and Defense Again Become Alien
Chapter 453 Offense and Defense Again Become Alien
This was Xu Si's first time personally experiencing the [Nirvana] melee defense module.
He truly understood what it meant to raise an army for a thousand days only to use it for one.
In the past, he invested the most resources and purification points in Nirvana.
Now he has finally shown his loyalty and firepower.
For the first time, Xu Si felt Nirvana's "rage" so clearly.
It was not an automatic counterattack programmed by a program, nor a mechanical execution of preset instructions, but an almost instinctive rage bursting forth from the depths of a steel skeleton.
The cannon barrels extending from the Nirvana shell were no longer arranged neatly as before, but rather protruded from every possible angle in an almost frenzied manner.
At this moment, Nirvana is like the mane of a giant beast as it curls up.
Mei Lin's figure flickered between the magic arrays, about to cross the final distance.
But Nirvana's close-range defense module shattered his plans.
Countless fine beams of energy burst forth simultaneously from the protruding cannon barrels.
A barrage of firepower, a pinpoint blockade with precision down to the millimeter.
Each beam of energy landed precisely at the point where the Mei Lin magic array jumped.
He dodged, and the energy beams blocked his landing point; he retreated, and the energy beams blocked his retreat route; he tried to withstand the firepower and force his way forward, but those fine beams of light were like a swarm of enraged bees, specifically targeting the weak points of his magic array.
Mei Lin's expression finally changed.
"What the hell is this thing?"
His voice was forced out through clenched teeth, carrying an emotion that was hard to define as either anger or fear.
He had seen strange objects, even those ranked high, but he had never seen one that possessed such complete, almost pathological, self-awareness.
It's not executing commands, it's guarding.
Like a father protecting his son, like a knight protecting his monarch.
At this moment, [Nirvana] became the most reliable knight on the battlefield.
Even if a true god were to descend at this moment, he would have to endure two shots from [Nirvana].
Xu Si had neither the strength nor the time to speak. He sat cross-legged in the center of the eggshell-shaped protective shield formed by Nirvana, with the Sword of Kingship resting horizontally on his lap. The Star Core was operating at full power deep within his consciousness, and the sequence energy flowed back along the star veins little by little.
Yi Yi's life affinity slowly circulated within his body, repairing the fascia damaged by the Mei Lin magic array one by one, reconnecting the shattered bones one by one, and smoothing out the disordered sequence of energy strand by strand.
He seized the little time that Nirvana had bought him to recover himself.
Even if it's just a little bit.
Mei Lin's pupils contracted and contracted repeatedly amidst the intertwining of dark red energy beams.
He had lost count of how many defensive magic arrays he had released in that short period of time.
Those once-proud, intricate runes were as fragile as paper under the overwhelming firepower of Nirvana—torn apart as soon as they took shape, and disintegrated as soon as they were reconstructed.
But he can't stop.
Stopping means death.
The greater the threat, the more priority should be given to eliminating it; he is the best example of this.
If Xu Si recovers, he might be the one who dies.
His judgment of Nirvana was wrong from the very beginning.
He thought it was just a top-ranking artifact, at most a flying vehicle.
He hadn't expected this strange object to possess such complete autonomy, nor had he imagined that its firepower density could reach such a level.
"Damn it—"
Mei Lin's figure flickered again among the magic arrays, landing on a pebble beach in the southeast corner of the island in the lake.
This is beyond the optimal range of the Nirvana Close-In Weapon Module, and the density of the energy beam is significantly reduced.
He took a breath; a charred burn on his left shoulder was slowly healing.
"You can't protect him." Mei Lin looked up at the egg-shaped object that was still pouring out firepower.
"A strange object is, in the end, just a strange object."
Nirvana remained silent, and Xu Si offered no response.
However, due to the delay caused by Nirvana, the surviving personnel on the island had basically completed their evacuation, and the level seven monster was gradually approaching the center of the battlefield.
This is what troubles Mei Lin the most. Although he has placed tracking arrays on everyone else.
However, since he couldn't deal with Xu Si for a long time, he couldn't pursue the others.
Even after dealing with Xu Si, it wouldn't be easy to catch up with the other convoys that had already scattered.
If they were to make their actions public, it would be difficult for him to repeat the same trick.
He might even become the target of public criticism.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
It's all because of Xu Si, otherwise he would already be Sequence 8 by now?
Doesn't Sequence 8 represent the future of all mankind?
Why?
Why stop him?
Mei Lin's curses echoed in the rain, carrying an almost frantic anxiety.
He raised his hand to wipe the rain and blood from his face, his gaze wandering over the eggshell-shaped Nirvana.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He had planned for so long, and he had calculated every step with precision.
He shouldn't have made a mistake—no, he didn't make a mistake.
The fault lies with this unconventional guy, and with this damned oddity.
After calming down, he actually laughed.
"You think you can stop me like this?" Mei Lin's voice suddenly calmed down, so calm that it didn't sound like someone who had just been suppressed by firepower for half an hour.
He stopped trying to get closer to Xu Si and slowly rose into the air, looking down at the dark red, egg-shaped protective shield.
A rectangular array reappeared, enveloping Xu Si and Nirvana within it.
The formation is exactly the same as the one on the island earlier.
The cannon was still spewing out dark red energy beams, but the attack was completely swallowed up by the formation.
Whether inside or outside, this strange formation seemed to be indestructible.
At this moment, Mei Lin finally realized why he had been forced to be beaten.
As long as Xu Si is trapped in the formation, he will be the perfect target.
Mei Lin hovered in mid-air, looking down at the rectangular formation that separated him from Xu Si.
As he raised his hand, more than a dozen colorful energy arrays appeared within the formation.
Nirvana seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately retracted its weapon, truly becoming a perfect eggshell.
Offense and defense have once again diverged.
As Mei Lin's attack descended, Nirvana, which had just displayed dense offensive firepower, was now beginning to reveal his terrifying defensive strength.
Mei Lin's attacks poured down like a torrential rain.
A dozen or so colorful energy arrays lit up simultaneously inside the rectangular array: crimson, ice blue, dark green, and dark gold—each color representing a completely different attack pattern.
Fire, ice, poison, lightning, light, darkness...
They no longer fought individually, but under Mei Lin's precise control, they were nested and interlocked, forming a deadly torrent capable of crushing everything.
Nirvana's eggshell-shaped protective shield trembled violently in the torrent.
The dark red armor surface was covered with dense energy patterns, like a spider web stretched to its limit, ready to break at any moment.
But he just stood there.
Unwavering.
