Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 659 Chapter 655 Anzu 1rd Stage
"It's so fast." Anzu stopped and touched his face. It was just a little dirty, but it didn't hurt. It was his neck and cervical spine that hurt.

Zhuang Xuteng took this opportunity to take the armor-piercing hammer in his hand, moved his left foot forward, half-turned sideways to face Anzu, and hid the armor-piercing hammer in his right hand behind his back. "Do you prefer to attack me, or wait for me to attack you?"

Anzu smiled, hooked his finger, and said, "Come..."

A gray-black afterimage had already arrived in front of Anzu. Zhuang Xuteng's left hand directly grabbed Anzu's neck, and the armor-piercing hammer in his right hand was drawing an arc that destroyed everything. At the same time, Anzu entered a high-speed state, leaving behind a virtual image of lightning, quickly changing positions, and started a close-range tremor with Zhuang Xuteng to break and destroy his moves.

One is a shadow and the other is lightning. They continue to fight at a high speed and high explosive rate, from the ground to the air. The afterimage cannot entangle the lightning, and the lightning cannot break the afterimage. Rumbling thunder explodes continuously, the hard open space cracks, and the artificial turf is crushed into green grass mud by the terrible pressure.

Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana's home was reduced to a skeleton. Windows shattered as soon as they were opened, and loose furnishings were ejected from the other end of the house, soon joined by the wall and roof tiles. Zhuang Xuteng and Anzu's battle set off a hurricane that destroyed everything around them in an instant.

Both can use the Disintegration Effect, but Zhuang Xuteng is active and Anzu is passive. When the Disintegration Effects collide with each other, paradoxes will occur. They will temporarily break physics and create explosive energy. Anzu's lightning comes from the electromagnetic properties of these energies. Zhuang Xuteng has gone a step further. His energy has begun to absorb the surrounding matter, which is the source of the aerosol-like shadow.

In a short time, they were unable to determine the winner, and the result of their counterattacks was a draw. The two men's fists collided with each other's palms, hammers with arm shields, and then they moved away from each other and separated under the thrust of the shock wave. This round of fighting ended temporarily, and the two men fell from a high altitude at the same time, but they were relatively still and both maintained a standing posture with their heads up and their feet down.

"If Badenburg meets you again, you will beat him to death." Anzu knocked the arm shield on his left hand with his fist, and it melted into a liquid state, flowed for a moment, and returned to its previous appearance. "I have used the company's latest technology. Doesn't it look good?"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. The wind blew his hair upward, making him feel comfortable. "I have always admired the company's technology. Can I ask you something?"

“Speak.” Anzu glanced down at his feet. The ground was closing in on him.

"What's up with stupid Bobo Marshmallow?"

Bang! Anzu stuck straight into the soil, he raised his legs, pulled himself up, and stood on the ground again. Zhuang Xuteng landed with the disintegration effect, squeezing all the impact force in all directions, and a circular blank appeared in the middle of the yellow-green ground.

"You also know about stupid Bobo marshmallows? Hahahaha, how interesting!" Anzu laughed. He didn't seem to care about the muddy feet on his feet. "That thing is the basis. Its production method is taken into consideration in the formula of safety blue."

"Safe Blue comes from a sugar?"

"Yes. Sugar makes people feel happy. From the packaging to the shape, from the mouthfeel to the taste, the Silly Pops marshmallows are conveying a belief to people: I am delicious, I am silly and cute, and I will make you comfortable and happy." Anzu said: "Its comfort and suggestion effects are very obvious, which can improve mood and slightly reduce the side effects of the drug. We learned from it and combined it with the Smurf technology to create Safe Blue."

"So what are Smurfs?"

Anzu shook his head and said, "The Smurfs have not been released to the market. They are just laboratory products. They were originally intended to upgrade the Blue Savages. But now that we have the perfect product, Safety Blue, we no longer need the Smurfs."

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion." Zhuang Xuteng took a deep breath and said, "I've rested well. Let's do it again?"

"Okay!" Anzu stretched out his hands and showed his palms, and at the same time, lightning surrounded his body. In an instant, the gravity around Zhuang Xuteng changed, and a cylindrical gravity field of fifty times wrapped him up.

Strong downward airflow converged towards the center of the gravity field, quickly forming an anti-hurricane. Zhuang Xuteng activated the high-speed, high-explosive implant, using the disintegration effect to protect himself, and rushed out of the eye of the storm in an instant.

"It really doesn't work." Anzu's mouth curled up slightly, and he took a step forward and caught Zhuang Xuteng's attack with both hands. The two people fought again, and the hurricane formed by the battle instantly destroyed the supergravity whirlwind, and Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana's cabin was also destroyed by this impact.

Ten minutes later, the gray-black shadow and the blue lightning separated again after the collision, and both of them showed signs of fatigue. Zhuang Xuteng panted hard, and he took out a nutritional energy bar from his pocket and ate it. Anzu opened the armored skin on his wrist, poured out two small blue pills from it, and swallowed them down his throat. He asked Zhuang Xuteng: "Do you want to eat something?"

"No—unless it doesn't have something like safety blue in it."

"It's included, so forget it." Anzu sighed and said, "You're improving so fast. My backend told me that after algorithm optimization, my combat capability has increased by 2% compared to the previous round, but I can still only tie with you, which means you've also improved by 2%. I have to say that the world's will really supports you. I mobilized the computing power of the entire company to barely avoid defeat."

"What is the will of the world?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and asked. His original plan was not to decide the outcome here, so the more he tried, the better, and the more in-depth information he obtained, the better.

"Your question is a very good one. If you don't ask it, the matter of world will cannot be concluded." Anzu pointed to the sky and said, "The most critical senior executives of the company are watching the live broadcast of our battle. This is also the final threshold of world will. The so-called world will, to put it bluntly, is the thing that once gave birth to gods. The thoughts of living beings are combined with the laws of physics and magic to form a force. Ordinary people can't see or touch it, but they are all part of this force. Thanks to the departure of the gods, it is through the study of the gods that the company discovered the existence of world will." Anzu pointed to the surroundings and said, "The descendants of the temple provided us with very good materials and research materials, and the company gradually figured out how to tame the entire world. We let everyone be of one mind with the company, and everyone truly loves the convenient life brought by the company and supports the company wholeheartedly. They fully accept the future planned by the company, and the company controls the future."

"You are turning everyone into slaves." Zhuang Xuteng retorted: "That is not the future!"

"The future is just a way of describing time. It has no standard. Not everyone. The company's continued development still depends on the initiative of discovering, cultivating and utilizing talents. As for slaves... Naike, have you ever heard of slaves treated so well?" Anzu smiled and said, "They don't have to worry about food and clothing, no one will squeeze their time, their entertainment is endless, and they only need to work eight hours a day. You have worked on the assembly line in a factory, aren't you satisfied with this state?"

Anzu said, "If you say they are slaves now, then what were they before?"

"They no longer have their own future and will only conform to your company's ideas. The company has stolen their future and is using it to feed itself."

"You make it sound like they were concerned about their future before." Anzu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Many people live without dreams, and the company gives them one, which is a benefit. They are free to choose to dream more or less, depending on their emotional needs for dreams, but no matter how many there are, the company will satisfy them! Naike, is your dream completely thought up by yourself, or is it influenced by others?"

The answer to this question is obvious. The dream of any person who is not isolated will definitely be affected by the people and environment around him. The most likely dream of a person who has been isolated since birth is to see if there will be other people... Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "The company forces everyone to use this system, depriving them of the right to choose."

"The entire world's food, drink and expenses, all production goes through the company, but you only care about their right to choose?" Anzu shook his finger, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Most people in the world agree with the company's current model. Everyone expects peace, stability, tranquility and satisfaction. The company sells these goods to them, both material and spiritual goods, and provides after-sales guarantees. The company's only profit is a certain future that we have drawn, a future in which the company will exist forever and continue to develop. This is a great and fair deal."

"Putting people in cans to work permanently, or turning human bodies into execution puppets, is this fair?"

Anzu was stunned for a moment, then said, "You still know these? Not bad, not bad. It seems that the will of the world has been working hard to cultivate your hatred. The people in the jars are used to deal with opponents, criminals, and those who do not work. The production process of execution puppets is being improved, and living human parts will soon be unnecessary. The technology of 100% modification rate has been broken through, and the brain can already be shadowed."

"It's not the so-called will of the world that makes me hate the company, but your actions. How did my brother Zhuang Teng die? How was he plundered? How was he made into a puppet? Do you have the nerve to tell me?"

Anzu smiled and said, "You misunderstood one point: you think that a company should be a selfless and faultless organization, and then demand the company to follow that standard. Isn't this nonsense? The company is of course selfish. All our actions are based on the interests of the company, not yours. We will not give priority to the interests of anyone outside the company. We have evolved compared to before. Our technology and system have improved. We no longer need to squeeze people's profits to death, but give the world the satisfaction and joy of the moment. We only want forever and the future."

"The world doesn't need a future like that!"

"We meet and provide the needs of the vast majority of people. We are the trend of the world and we are advanced."

Zhuang Xuteng thought about it for a moment, then smiled: "Advanced? Then why haven't you beaten me yet?"

"Beating you is not the criterion for whether we are advanced or not, but who can come up with a better vision for the future and realize it." Anzu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhuang Xuteng, saying, "You are at best a carrier of the will of the old world. The more world will you accumulate, the greater our success will be after defeating you, that's all. By the way, let me tell you something. Except for Zhuang Teng, everyone you know was killed by us, including your parents. They were lucky enough to get the help of your master and escape the first wave of pursuit. I didn't expect that they knew each other before. In addition, Zhuang Teng's life is almost over, and his early technology is not mature enough, but he has provided enough knowledge and services to the company, and he has also developed..."

Zhuang Xuteng rushed forward and smashed his armor-piercing hammer towards Anzu's forehead. But this time Anzu had no intention of fighting at all. He dodged quickly like lightning, trying to distance himself from Zhuang Xuteng. As he moved, he shouted: "Yes! Be angry! Use all your strength! The will of the world will strengthen you!"

Because the two were in a state of frequent short, high-speed, high-bursts, the sound that traveled at the speed of sound could not catch up with their speed, so the words that Anzu said were completely broken, and no one could understand them except himself. At the same time, Anzu stared at Zhuang Xuteng and began to display his "superpowers". His active shadow began to exert its power, and the strange shadow energy fluctuations continued to radiate, covering Zhuang Xuteng layer by layer like a silk net cage.

These strange energy waves can be resisted by the disintegration effect, but they will not disappear. They will still recover their strength under the impetus of subsequent energy waves and continue to cover Zhuang Xuteng. Since there is almost no difference in speed and mobility between the two sides, in just three seconds, Zhuang Xuteng accumulated at least thirty layers of energy waves.

His implants and shadow slaves stopped working, including the Eye of Kaho, backup internal organs, driving assistance implant set, and high-speed high-explosive implants. For the first time, Zhuang Xuteng briefly lost his balance, staggered forward, and was punched by Anzu. Fortunately, the spell of disintegration effect was still there, and he blocked the punch, but he had to retreat and try to keep his distance.

Anzu didn't want to give him this chance, and immediately rushed up to attack, as if to tear him into pieces. Zhuang Xuteng could only use the global disintegration effect to protect himself, and then use the mana and resentment of the necromancy to stimulate those shadow slave devices.

"Forcefully shut down the Shadow Slave devices? Awesome, no wonder he is the strongest in the company..." Zhuang Xuteng controlled the mana in his body and found that Anzu's strange energy waves were ineffective against the resentment and mana of the dead spirits and could be forcibly expelled. Then, he used his mana to stimulate the Shadow Slave devices, powering them and completing the restart.

Zhuang Xuteng left the disintegration barrier and retreated at high speed. Seeing this, Anzu stopped attacking. "You can actually restart on your own, and your defensive spells won't be blocked... Awesome, really amazing."

He said this purely to cover up his action of releasing the strange energy wave. This time, Zhuang Xuteng moved his mana to the surface of his body, blocking the invasion of the energy wave, protecting the implant and the shadow slave, and not delaying the battle. In addition to greatly consuming mana and resentment, this method has almost no side effects.

Anzu also found that his method was ineffective, so he nodded and said, "In that case, let's move on to the second stage."
