Brick’s prosthetics flickered with numerous alerts, the Centaur Mecha three-dimensional model established in his prosthetic eye HUD, only to collapse as Si Anweisitan activated!

Integrating Si Anweisitan into the Centaur Mecha was an extremely difficult process—

Even for the Vortex Gang, who handle Si Anweisitan as effortlessly as eating and drinking, it was a dangerously risky process!

Thanks to Brick’s highly cybernetic body, his physical expandability was quite strong, making it smooth to add linking cables, which even made extra surgery to add interfaces unnecessary.

However, for this reason, the various pirated software and homemade prosthetics in his system made the integration process extremely difficult.

It wasn’t until Lille fully accessed that he realized, every time Brick moved, his prosthetic system would pop up with errors!

This was a cyborg who carried BUGs with him in action!

Boom!

Outside the carriage, a rocket launcher hit the factory wall, causing an explosion.

The wall collapsed, smashing onto the crates on the ground with flames, causing a secondary explosion.

And the Bimong armored vehicle showed no sign of stopping, several machine-gun pickups followed rapidly down the streets!

"Can’t hit, can’t hit at all...dammit!"

Their target, that silent woman, moved like a terrifying robot!

Her blade legs effortlessly found footholds on the buildings alongside the street, practically running on the walls!

Her figure flashed like a phantom, bright one moment, dim the next, every time Si Anweisitan activated, the targeted ones frantically looked around—

They couldn’t see clearly the woman’s movements!

Machine guns and rocket launchers wildly flew around, but they almost had no effect on her!

As the car turned a corner, the shouting underling only saw the woman jump from the wall, her calves releasing some highly compressed gas, pushing her horizontally in the air for several meters—

She thrust forward completely in mid-air!

The reflective cold light of blade legs fiercely stabbed towards the roof of the vehicle!

Bang!

The blade smashed through the roof, the red-hot Mantis Blade instantly tearing open a huge gash on the roof, splitting the Vortex Gang member on the driver’s seat into two...

From head to neck, slowly opening to both sides!

Brick’s good brother Carter hung on the outside of the Bimong armored vehicle, holding a rocket launcher single-handedly and pulling the trigger—

Boom!

The rocket launcher hit the vehicle!

The explosion interrupted the car’s route, causing the entire vehicle to bounce up, then crash down on the ground sliding with a piercing sound.

But Carter clearly saw that Zalia was not affected at all, instead, she instantly leaped up, standing on top of a streetlight...

Readying herself for the next attack.

Bang bang!

Carter threw away the rocket launcher and forcefully slapped the carriage, "Brick! Have you f**king handled it yet? That mad woman is going to kill us all!"

Inside, Brick’s senses were already delusional.

Si Anweisitan’s continuous activation altered the speed of time, distorted sounds, and bent light.

The spinal prosthetic stimulated all parts of the body through a series of complex physiological reactions achieving enhanced responsiveness and increased speed, but now, these stimuli were all acting on the huge Centaur Mecha.

The massive body required stronger electric currents for operation, currents that should have been cut off by the Cyber Modulator, using this tiny device as a relay to transfer commands, receive sensations, but now, these signals were directly emitted by the spinal prosthetic.

The reflex chain changed from neural system-Cyber Modulator-Centaur Mecha, to neural system-Centaur Mecha.

Brick felt his body completely dissolve, and a new body was being born.

Just as displayed in his prosthetic eye HUD.

"Brick...!"

Carter cried out, but was interrupted as the red light in his Eyes of Golden Flame flashed furiously: that ghostly figure was flying straight towards him!

He hung onto the carriage with one hand while hurriedly pulling out the gun mounted on his skin with the other, but it was already too late!

Bang—bang!

Sadara fired two bullets as one, Zalia grazed past the bullet, the red-hot Mantis Blade slashing down—

Bang!

The Mantis Blade struck the big shield of the Centaur Mecha!

Brick activated!

The mecha erupted in exaggerated electric arcs, the otherwise cumbersome structure showing exaggerated speed, the shield in hand swinging horizontally, forcing Zalia back like a blade...

While in the other hand, the plasma gun was already fully charged!

The shell was fired!

Zalia awkwardly dodged, but the shell didn’t just explode in the air, instead, it smashed towards a nearby chemical plant, easily piercing through the outer wall and propelled by kinetic energy towards the building’s core, a massive amount of chemicals!

The high temperature catalyzed these substances before the shell even touched the chemicals, flames soaring—

Boom!

The shockwave flipped all the vehicles still driving on the road in an instant, a fireball engulfed the whole street!

The night sky was split by an incredibly dazzling light, the exotic colors of the burning chemicals forced all those who happened to gaze upon the scene to shield their eyes—

Optical components were damaged under the intense light!

Only those few combat-durable prosthetic eyes could remain intact!

And Carter, he suddenly lost control of his body, blown away by the flames and shockwave!

Bang.

He rose from the ruins, his prosthetic eye seeing a mosaic-filled scene.

The surroundings were all burning wreckage and rubble, his underlings blasted into several pieces, and residual instincts kept their limbs twitching.
