I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 165 Artificial Angel

Lin Zhong looked through the scope of the beam gun and could roughly see the outline of a woman, wearing a combat uniform similar to power armor. Her limbs seemed to have been replaced with mechanical arms, and her head was wearing a helmet that covered her eyes. , only the nose and mouth are exposed.A pair of dark red wings spread out from behind. The wings were loaded with mechanical exoskeletons and metal sheets, as well as several thrusters, which were providing power for her suspension.On her shoulders, two floating cannons were suspended.

"Those wings..." Lin Zhong observed carefully again.

The color and texture of this "angel's" wings look very much like the wings of the Abyss no matter how you look at them.

"It smells like a living thing. It's a living person!" Fran suddenly said.

Lin Zhi opened his eyes wide: "Abyss?"

What Dr. Wade sent was actually a living Abyssian armed with machinery!
Meanwhile, Rootless Fortress.

Robert Vader was staring at the battle footage captured by the drone on the screen, and the AI ​​began to report to him:
"The artificial angel has arrived at the scene, and all indicators are normal. The arrest operation for list targets A04, B34 and B35 has now been officially launched. The decision-making assistance system has been activated and the arrest plan will be continuously revised based on the target operations."

"Catch the target alive, Angel No. [-], let me see your value after evolution." Dr. Vader ordered to the artificial angel on the other side of the screen.

As an experimental subject of the Artificial Angel Project, Dr. Vader once found preserved Abyss living tissue samples in the abyss, extracted the cells, and created a batch of Abyss clones.

He used these clones for various experiments and found that the adaptation rate of Abyssians for transplanting abyssal biological organs was much higher than that of humans. He used these clones to create some evolved bodies and transformed their brains with brains in a vat. , making them completely obedient to their own instructions, and these individuals were named artificial angels.

After repeatedly investing resources in training, he successfully evolved Angel No. [-] into an apostle-level bishop.

The first time he discovered Lin Zhong and others, he was just about to enter the No. [-] Abyss to conduct important exploration work, so he gave up the arrest.

And this time, he thought it was an excellent opportunity to collect information on the battle of Angel No. [-].

Lin Zhi saw the artificial angel in the sky suddenly closing the distance, and immediately picked up his beam gun and started sniping.

However, when the first shot was fired, an energy barrier flashed in front of the angel and completely absorbed the beam.

"Stupid, how can I not have a way to deal with the weapons I made myself?" Dr. Wade commented across the screen.

"Bishop species..." Lin finally understood the nature of this angel's power when he saw the energy barrier and the beam of light that the artificial angel had used to destroy the warehouse.

The field controlled by the Bishop species is "energy". The abyss creatures of the Bishop species can release various forms of energy, creating explosions and bright lights. Asha's hand of the God of Destruction is made from the core of the Bishop species' apostle.

Attacks in the form of pure energy such as beam guns will be easily resolved by the opponent. On the contrary, ordinary firearms and the Gauss rifle have kinetic energy bound to the material mass, causing effective collision damage before being completely absorbed.

But the problem is...

Lin Zhi turned around and glanced at the burning warehouse behind him. When he went to infiltrate the Tunkou Gang headquarters, they left their weapons in the car.

Their equipment boxes are very strong and fire-proof and explosion-proof, but with the current intensity of the fire, it is simply unrealistic to find and take out the scalding equipment boxes among a pile of debris.

The artificial angel aimed the floating cannon on his shoulder at the three people on the ground. Lin Zhong suddenly saw a premonition. One side of the floating cannon fired a shell and exploded in front of them. A spider web popped up to cover them. At the same time, another The floating cannon on one side began to fire anesthesia bombs.

"Wan Jin, shield!" Lin Zhi shouted.

Wan Jin understood and raised his hand to gather the force field into a shield to block the three of them. The capture net and tranquilizer bombs launched by the angel were all blocked by the shield.

Lin finally tried to pull out his pistol and fired continuously, but couldn't hit the target at all - the target was still in the air more than a hundred meters away, and there was no way to predict the accuracy of the pistol.

The opponent had air superiority, which made Lin Zhong feel extremely troublesome.

"I wonder if any of you can fly?" Lin Zhong asked helplessly.

"I can throw people up with a force field," Wan Jin said.

"Although I can transform wings, it is impossible for me to fly efficiently with my current body mass." Fran said calmly, "But if I just want to attack targets in the air efficiently..."

She suddenly raised a water pipe-like tentacle and pointed it at the sky.

Then, she released several dragonfly-like flying insects and quickly rushed towards the artificial angel in the sky - she transformed the parasite into the form of flying insects!
At this time, Dr. Wade's surveillance screen sounded the voice of AI: "Biological contamination threat detected, enter closed state, eliminate!"

At the same time, the artificial angel's helmet opened a mask and completely covered the lower half of her face. The angel raised her hand, and several suspended light balls - high-temperature plasma - suddenly appeared in front of her.

When those flying insects approached, a plasma suddenly exploded in front, turning into a blue transparent flame and spreading in the air. It looked like nothing, but it had amazing heat. The parasite was reduced to ashes in an instant, and the artificial The angel himself was unscathed by the energy shield.

"Updated target attack methods, estimated capture success rate is 70%, retreat success rate is 99%. Safety factor evaluation, high." AI reported to Dr. Wade.

Part of the artificial angel's brain was removed, and instead a chip was implanted and connected to the brain in the vat, and then maintained communication with the AI ​​of the Rootless Fortress.The artificial angel has almost no self-awareness and completely obeys the dispatch of the AI. However, as long as the AI's calculations are precise enough, there will be no problems with her decision-making in battle.

"Very good, there will be a new collection." Robert Wade watched the battle calmly.

At this time, outside the town, the investigator who had escaped was sitting in the car, holding an electronic telescope, observing the artificial angels in the sky: "What are the backgrounds of those people? Dr. Wade actually did not hesitate to send a confidential project to arrest them. And We were able to get away from them in time.”

The investigator put down the telescope, started operating on the center console, and picked up the satellite phone: "Call the headquarters. I have completed the lurking mission and all the data has been uploaded. In addition..."

He quickly and simply reported the additional information about the artificial angels sent out by Dr. Vader.

"Received from headquarters, the general has something to ask you." The operator over there had just finished speaking. Before he could react, a busy tone for line switching sounded, and then he heard the familiar majestic voice:
"You said Vader sent the artificial angels out of the fortress, is that true?"
