Chapter 1273 Take action



Chapter 1273 Take action

Their tactics haven't improved much either. Their words are grand and dignified, full of sacred promises, yet they cleverly avoid any substantial information about God's specific appearance or whereabouts, pushing everything towards ethereal mystery...

Simply put, it's all empty promises; even more simply, they don't even bother to come up with a reasonable excuse...

Xiao Ce's sneer inwardly deepened: a mere empty promise, nothing more.

They even suspected that the person in front of them had probably never seen the so-called God, or that the God he spoke of was the core of a huge mystery or a deception.

However, his face was instantly overwhelmed with excitement and fervor, and he said in a choked voice, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate thanks the Lord for His grace! I am willing to be God, willing to burn my body for the Lord, even unto death!"

That posture... perfectly mimicked the almost hysterical devotion that Scar Wolf might experience after being promised a future.

"very good."

The mysterious figure seemed satisfied with Scar Wolf's reaction: "Go, Scar Wolf. Focus on the final preparations for the ceremony. Let those spies run around like headless flies. The storm... is coming."

"Yes, my lord!" Scar Wolf (Xiao Ce) responded respectfully, slowly rose, backed away, lifted the curtain, and left the dark, secret room filled with intrigue and fanaticism.

The heavy curtains fell behind them, shutting out the nauseatingly frenzied atmosphere in the secret room.

The excitement and fervor on Xiao Ce's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold sharpness and a hint of barely perceptible mockery. It was about time to end this...

The trap has already been set... now all we need to do is take him away.

Xiao Ce walked outside to find Wang Shui...

He had originally planned to take action directly, but after all, the explosives outside were real.

This is a winning situation we've been in all along.

Xiao Ce deeply understood one principle: don't get carried away when things are going well...

He was still being cautious, and the cyborg seemed to trust Scar Wolf a lot.

Moreover, he seemed to disdain contacting Scarface's men...

This cyborg might have felt superior to others.

This also allowed him to get through smoothly.

Moreover, that person is at least a cyborg.

He still needed to get a foolproof plan from Lingxu before dealing with him.

Anyway, that person is over there, so he can't escape.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ce directly asked Ling Xu, "Ling Xu, I want to capture that cyborg alive and render him incapable of moving or resisting. Is there any way to do that?"

Now that it has been confirmed that the other party is a cyborg, and most likely just a pawn, it would be more effective to take them down directly and obtain their core data than to feign compliance and try to extract information about the elusive "God".

Lingxu quickly echoed in Xiao Ce's mind: "Reporting to Master."

"The target modified body is mainly enhanced in terms of strength, speed and defense modules. The joint parts are made of high-strength alloy, but there are the following weaknesses that can be exploited."

"One of them is located deep in the junction of the third and fourth cervical vertebrae at the back of the neck, where a high concentration of energy flows. It is a key node connecting the head processor and the torso's power core. A powerful and precise strike can instantly cut off the energy supply, causing the target to become paralyzed."

"Secondly, it is located at the T1-T2 position of the thoracic vertebrae and is protected by a high-strength alloy armor, but there is a 0.3 mm gap at the connection of the armor. Using high-frequency electromagnetic pulses or strong physical impacts through the gap can cause chip overload or physical damage, directly paralyzing central control."

"Thirdly, it is located below the shoulder blade on the back, measuring approximately 5cm x 2cm. Forcibly blocking or injecting a highly viscous inhibitor can cause the engine to overheat and shut down. However, this method may result in the engine melting down, which is a high-risk procedure."

"A suspected device has been detected in the heart area, exhibiting abnormal energy activity. It is recommended to avoid direct contact with this area during an attack to prevent accidental triggering."

"Optimal solution: Executed by Creation One, using its specially designed high-frequency vibrating knuckle duster or energy dagger to precisely strike the energy transmission node in the neck. This node is relatively weakly protected; once destroyed, it can instantly paralyze more than 90% of the target's functions and minimize the risk of triggering self-destruction. Estimated success rate: 92.7%. Requires the user to create an opportunity to get close and issue clear instructions."

Xiao Ce listened to Ling Xu's analysis; in fact, he understood every single word Ling Xu said...

But when they were put together, he was a little confused...

Then, he quietly repeated it to Creation One, who was standing beside him.

Creation Number One nodded vigorously, clearly understanding what he was saying...

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised, then said to Creation One, "Did you understand?"

Creation Number One nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Reporting to you, sir, I understand..."

After listening, Xiao Ce nodded.

At this time, he went to find one of Scar Wolf's henchmen, Wang Shui.

They were already busy at this point.

When Wang Shui saw Scar Wolf (Xiao Ce) coming over, his worried expression softened considerably.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Scarface (Xiao Ce) smiled and nodded at Wang Shui, then said, "Not bad, it's alright... However, I'm certain now. This guy wasn't sent by any Allah..."

Upon hearing Scarface's words, Wang Shui's eyes widened, and then he looked at Scarface (Xiao Ce) with disbelief and said, "Brother, do you mean this is a fake?"

Scarface (Xiao Ce) nodded: "That's right, I can confirm it... I plan to capture him and then hand him over to the true God..."

After hearing Scarface's (Xiao Ce's) words, Wang Shui replied without the slightest doubt, "I knew it, how could Allah possibly ask us to be buried alive with Him..."

Scarface (Xiao Ce) thought he would have to use his words quite a bit, but to his surprise, he didn't even need to...

These people chose to believe him. The reason is simple: people are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Seeing this, Scarface (Xiao Ce) said to Wang Shui, "Alright, then you don't need to sneak around anymore. Just go and tell our people. That person is impersonating the messenger of God and wants to harm us. He used these explosives to kill us... Have everyone dismantle those explosives and then move them to a safe place."

After hearing what Scarface (Xiao Ce) said, Wang Shui nodded repeatedly.

He then said, "Big brother, I'll go right away..."

Scarface (Xiao Ce) nodded, then said, "Okay... just be careful not to get blown up by those bombs..."

Wang Shui nodded in agreement...

He then looked at Scarface (Xiao Ce) with some concern and asked, "Brother, are you going to confront that person? Do you need to..."

Before Wang Shui could finish speaking, Scarface (Xiao Ce) waved his hand and said, "I don't need you. I've already planned everything... None of you are a match for me! It's not easy for you to survive with me... How could I send you to your deaths..."

A simple sentence almost moved Wang Shui to tears.

He nodded emphatically, then said to Scarface (Xiao Ce), "Brother, I will do what you ask..."

Scar Wolf (Xiao Ce) nodded to Wang Shui.

After Scar Wolf (Xiao Ce) left, Wang Shui gathered his subordinates and then told the believers what Xiao Ce had said.

The believers were all filled with righteous indignation after hearing this...

After waiting for a while, Scarface (Xiao Ce) went back...

He lifted the curtain again and strode in, his movements carrying a hint of the roughness and urgency characteristic of Scar Wolf.

“My lord!” Scar Wolf’s (Xiao Ce’s) voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tension.

The mysterious man seemed somewhat surprised by his return and asked coldly, "Scarface? What else is there?"

His tone carried a hint of displeasure at being disturbed by Scarface (Xiao Ce)'s uninvited arrival.

Scar Wolf (Xiao Ce) quickly walked to a position closer to the mysterious man, about three steps away.

This distance is sufficient for the explosive power of Creation One.

His face showed Scar Wolf's signature expression, and he lowered his voice as if reporting a huge secret.

Because of his mysterious demeanor, the mysterious man subconsciously moved closer.

"My lord, I went out just now, and the more I thought about it, the more something seemed off! That bastard in the blue shirt, when he... when he ran away, I think I saw a token fall from his waist! The style... the style is somewhat like the waist token of the secret guards of the Punishment Department! Although it was just a flash, I feel... I feel..."

He spoke deliberately vaguely, with a strong hint and a desire to claim credit, and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to whisper something.

At this moment, the mysterious man was attracted by Scar Wolf (Xiao Ce).

Creation One seized the opportunity.

Creation One suddenly launched an attack.

Without warning, without shouting, there was only a piercing shriek that tore through the air!

He was like a spring that had been compressed to its limit, suddenly released, so fast that he left only a blurry black afterimage in the dim light!

The target was aimed directly at the back of the mysterious man's neck!

The metal hand, covered in a special black material and humming with high-frequency vibrations inside, carried a terrifying power capable of tearing steel, and stabbed with unparalleled precision at the junction of the third and fourth cervical vertebrae at the back of the mysterious man's neck!

That deadly energy node marked by Lingxu!

"You...?!" The mysterious man only realized the dramatic change when the strong wind hit his body!

He tried to retreat suddenly, but his body's reaction speed seemed so slow in the face of the absolute burst of Genesis No. 1!

From the shadows beneath his hood, two points of horrified red light seemed to flicker, and a sharp, distorted, completely inhuman electronic voice suddenly erupted: "Scar Wolf! What are you doing...?"

"Pfft!!!"

The dull thud of metal shattering and the crackling of energy short-circuiting instantly interrupted the mysterious man's shocked and angry questioning!

The metal hand of Creation One was like a red-hot iron being plunged into ice.

It pierced through the cloak and any protective layer underneath with perfect precision, and plunged deep into the intended location!

The terrifying force of high-frequency oscillations instantly tore apart the fragile energy transmission channels and delicate connection nodes!

"Well...!!!"

A short, painful hiss, accompanied by a strong electrical crackling, was forced out of the mysterious person's mouth!

His entire body stiffened abruptly, like a venomous snake whose spine had been removed!

The red light under the hood flickered violently a few times, then quickly dimmed!

His arm, covered by a black leather glove, which he tried to raise, fell limply to the ground after he had only raised it halfway.

The mechanical joints, reinforced throughout the body, emitted a creaking, grinding sound as they lost their power support.

The wide cloak collapsed instantly, like a skeleton losing its support, revealing flesh beneath, but most of the body seemed to have been modified into machinery...

It worked!

The neck node was destroyed, and the connection between the power core and the head processor was instantly severed!

The target is paralyzed!

But Xiao Ce did not relax in the slightest.

Modified humans often have emergency mechanisms!

"Hold on! Check the self-destruct mechanism!" Xiao Ce ordered sharply, his voice regaining its original coldness.

Creation One did not pause its movements in the slightest.

As one hand pierced through, the other hand gripped the mysterious man's limp body shoulder like an iron clamp, firmly fixing him in place.

At the same time, his eyes focused on the area where the mysterious figure's self-destruct device, marked by the spirit, was suspected.

A pair of hands were placed in that spot to examine it.

"When the core power output drops below the critical value, the motor function is lost by 99.8%."

"A high-energy reaction device was detected in the chest cavity area. The energy fluctuations are stabilizing, and no signs of detonation countdown activation were detected. Preliminary assessment indicates that the destruction of the neck node successfully blocked the transmission of the self-destruct command."

Only then did the invisible pressure in the secret room suddenly dissipate!

Xiao Ce stepped forward and removed the mysterious cloak he was wearing...

The person looked extremely grotesque, with more than half of their face made of machinery, and the materials used also looked quite poor, covered in rust...

And half of the face is a human face...

The mysterious man lay on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Scarface (Xiao Ce). He couldn't move his body, but he could still move his head and mouth. He stared at Xiao Ce in disbelief.

"Who are you...? You're not Scarface..."

Xiao Ce's lips curled slightly upwards; naturally, he wouldn't tell him who he was...

At least not now...

Xiao Ce still adhered to the principle of not being reckless when things are going well...

You have no right to know...

As Xiao Ce spoke, he had Ling Xu examine the ferocious-looking fellow before him.

Lingxu confirmed that he wouldn't die anytime soon.

Xiao Ce simply had Creation One gag him with something...

The cyborg's eyes widened, staring at Scarface (Xiao Ce) with a look of utter panic: "You...you...what do you want to do..."

"Who are you? I have God's protection. Do you want to die?"

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Ce's expression twisted into a grimace, and he said, "Oh? Is that so? Then let your true god come out and take a few steps..."

At this moment, the cyborg, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, said, "I have already transmitted everything here to God..."
