Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

【Thousand Changes Armor】specifically manifests as:

Lena's armor has gained optimized camouflage capabilities against the following four main detection methods:

1. Full Spectrum Electromagnetic Scan Camouflage: a special biological coating is generated on the surface of the carapace.

It can absorb, deflect, or simulate background electromagnetic signals, greatly reducing the probability of being discovered by active detection devices such as Bird Divination Devices.

2. Thermal Imaging Concealment: body surface temperature regulation ability is enhanced.

It can quickly adjust the body surface temperature to be highly consistent with the environmental background, and transition smoothly during movement, avoiding producing obvious thermal contours.

3. Vibration and Sound Wave Absorption: the internal structure of the carapace is fine-tuned, and special damping mucus is secreted.

It can effectively absorb vibrations and low-frequency sound waves produced by its own actions, making walking nearly silent.

4. Chemical Odor Analysis: pheromones secreted by glands become extremely faint and controllable.

It can quickly combine and neutralize with odor molecules in the surrounding environment (sewage, rust, industrial waste gas), making it difficult to be tracked by smell or chemical sensors.

This almost covers all conventional reconnaissance methods that Medusa's Sons Squad might use!

The current Lena is harder to discover, and her actions are more concealed.

But this is just the beginning.

【Hint:】For every 1 Skill Point invested in 'Personal Line', a 'Combat Special Enhancement Effect' (Directed Evolution) can be triggered once.

Currently 3 points have been invested, capable of triggering 3 special enhancements.

Three opportunities for Directed Evolution!

Lin En's brain operated at high speed, recalling every detail of the battle with Son of Medusa.

Analyzing their combat methods, equipment characteristics, advantages, and possible weaknesses.

"First Enhancement: Armor!"

What is Son of Medusa's greatest advantage?

Heavy firepower!

Heavy Missile Guns, Heat Melt Weapons, flamethrowers are all high-casualty things with extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities.

Lena's current carapace, facing this level of firepower, is still not enough.

Enhancement direction: "Modular Composite Armor" and "High Temperature Resistance/Self-Healing Enhancement"!

With a thought, the system began to operate.

Deep underground, Lena's carapace emitted faint crackling sounds, began "Molting".

The old, relatively complete carapace shattered and peeled off, revealing the newly born "Modular Armor Plates" beneath, presenting a strange purple-red gloss.

These plates were not a unified whole, but like the most precise scale armor or plate armor, piece by piece, layer by layer tightly spliced, yet leaving tiny buffer gaps.

The hardness of the plates was further improved, but brittleness was also adjusted synchronously.

When subjected to a heavy blow, the plates at the impact point would shatter first, thereby "absorbing and taking away impact force", avoiding force being transmitted to vulnerable internal tissues.

After shattering, newly born carapace matter would quickly secrete and solidify from the proliferative layer beneath the plates, achieving "High Speed Healing".

At the same time, the molecular structure of the carapace was specially adjusted for high temperature, the heat resistance threshold was greatly increased, and resistance to Heat Melt Weapons and flamethrowers was significantly enhanced.

(Trivia: Motorcycle helmets are also like this, a helmet that "shatters" upon heavy impact is a good helmet,

otherwise if the helmet merely deforms, the impact force will be transmitted to the person's brain.)

Now, Lena's defensive thinking became using renewable, modular "disposable" plates.

You smash one of my plates, I grow it back, as long as you cannot instantly evaporate me or smash me into fragments, I can always hard-tank your damage!

"Second Enhancement: Weapon!"

Just being able to tank is not enough, there must also be output that can easily "open cans".

Enhancement direction: Special attack against Heavy Armor!

"Rending Claw" and "Biological Plasma Cannon".

Lena's forelimb Bone Blades began to contract and deform.

Finally, her left hind leg was specialized into a shorter, sturdier "Rending Claw", with claw tips covered in ultra-dense chitin, flashing a dim black luster.

The muscles and tendons driving it swelled like power steel cables, granting it terrifying gripping and tearing force capable of easily tearing open Ceramic Steel armor.

And her right hind leg turned into a huge "Biological Plasma Sac" pulsating with dangerous orange-red radiance.

The cannon body was composed of specialized chitin pipes and focusing crystals.

This is the "Biological Plasma Cannon", at least within the body of a Chief Warrior Bug can its "firing" required ultra-high temperature plasma be synthesized and stored.

When needed, it sprays out, its instantaneous temperature enough to melt Orichalcum and Ceramic Steel!

Close combat has Rending Claw, medium-short range has Plasma Cannon, armor-piercing capability against Heavy Armor units has achieved a qualitative leap.

"Third Enhancement: Mobility!"

"Give me wings, let me soar!"

Lin En almost roared out this decision.

In the narrow Nest Capital environment, flight ability might be restricted.

But the value of "Three-Dimensional Mobility" and "Vertical Movement Ability" is immeasurable!

The system operated madly!

At Lena's shoulder blades, her bones violently proliferated and deformed!

Tough, leathery biological membrane tore and stretched from beneath her skin, fusing with chitinous wing bones to form a pair of huge, powerful "Wing Membranes"!

Her forelimbs had fully specialized into Wing Arms better suited for flight, the Wing Membranes covered in tough elastic muscle fibers.

Not only could they provide powerful lift, they could easily achieve supersonic dives, sharp turns, hovering, and other high-difficulty flight maneuvers.

Her legs evolved to be stouter, her Claw Blades sharp, facilitating landing and ground maneuvering.

Specialized Flying Warrior King Bug—Lena, born!

Purple-red modular carapace flowed with a metallic luster under the dim light, a pair of huge membrane wings folded behind her back.

Left claw hideous, right Cannon Mouth flickering with green light, compound eyes flashing with an intelligence unlike that of ordinary Bug Race.

After completing three directed enhancements, having cumulatively invested 3 Skill Points into her Personal Line, the System Prompt sounded again:

Cumulative investment of 'Personal Line' Skill Points reaches 3 points, unlocking Personal Line exclusive special skill:

【Cross-Border Armament】!

【Cross-Border Armament】: Triggers a special ability acquisition opportunity transcending the current race/individual conventional system.

Lin En's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ability transcending the current system? Abilities outside of Warrior Bugs?

In his mind, fragments of Son of Medusa's battles flashed instantly.

Soon, he thought of the "answer".

"It's it!" Lin En no longer hesitated.

【Command confirmed, Cross-Border Armament activating……】

【Linking deep template…… Retrieving non-standard evolution path…… Energy infusion……】

In Fault Zone Deep, Lena, who had just completed enhancement, suddenly let out a sharp hiss of pain and pleasure intertwined!

The entire evolution process did not last too long.

Lin En watched the System Prompt's success text, feeling through the link Lena's consciousness fluctuations that were becoming increasingly powerful and complex.

Through the system's standing illustration, Lin En saw Lena's current appearance.

Her size compared to other Flying Warrior King Bugs was nearly fifty percent larger.

On her four-and-a-half-meter-long Green Skin Body, the hideous purple-red armor was effortlessly dominated by Lena's graceful body curves.

Claws that could tear everything apart and a giant cannon emitting a Destruction aura made her look so terrifying and powerful.

The wings that seemed to cover the Sky completed the last piece of the puzzle for her "perfection".

"Superb (peerless)! Truly powerful, mysterious... and beautiful creation!"
