Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Tier 4 existence can only be crafted by Ascension Technology. In the cosmos, there are no naturally occurring Tier 4 species. Even the legendary ’Star River Giant Beast’ is not naturally formed but is intricately linked to the mythical Relic Technology and Relic Civilization.

Ascension Technology is a technology mastered by Ascension Civilization, a legendary technology endowed with countless terrifying powers that can grant one an Eternal Body, Undying Body, and Star-Bursting Body.

Although there’s merely a difference of one tier, Tier 4 and Tier 3 are completely different levels of existence.

The breath of the ’Carbon-Based Fruit’ caused him a slight misunderstanding.

Thus, when Number 3 was struck by Gao Gong’s mixed ’Planet Magnetic Field’ kick, even though it directly shattered his two balls of ’Clone Essence,’ he breathed a huge sigh of relief. The power displayed by the opponent was indeed formidable, but ultimately it was of a level similar to his own and ’Kun’s Child,’ namely Pseudo-Tier 4.

If it’s not Tier 4, then it’s still worth fighting!

But in the next moment, he acutely sensed the surrounding space sinking again, and the Cosmic Background Radiation seemed compressed a thousandfold, forming a gravitational magnetic field that warped space and imprisoned him.

”Hmph, since the consumption has reached this point, let’s use this battle to fight thoroughly and satisfyingly!!”

Accompanied by Number 3’s roar, the surrounding ’Biological Background Radiation’ transformed into a radiant Star River, causing his Biological Energy to directly break through 500 million and begin to soar drastically.

In this process, one clone phantom after another emerged from his back and then exploded.

He had resolved to exhaust even his years of accumulated foundation to blow up this Interstellar Fortress.

After destroying this one, he would use the Planet Cannon to obliterate another.

With just one Interstellar Fortress left, it was absolutely impossible to capture this Resource Planet.

And with sufficient time gained, he could unlock the old man’s treasure and harness the powerful Biotechnology forces to truly become Tier 4 Life.

Gao Gong’s eyes flickered with cold light; he didn’t have idle time to wait for the opponent’s Biological Energy to surpass 1 billion. He pulled up the System Panel, and over a hundred Skill Points were applied directly, leveling up ’Bursting Grip’ to Expert Level.

The control techniques upgraded from ordinary, advanced, elite displayed significant attribute modifications.

Bursting Grip (Tier 3: Expert): Shatters space, explodes organisms; once the grasp is successful, it inflicts 30% mandatory damage on life forms below Tier 4, accompanied by one hundred negative effects including bleeding, defense weakening, limb severance, burning, and organ destruction...

Compared to the ’ordinary’ state, which only stacked about a dozen negative effects, this hundred effects were exaggerated to the extreme, worthy of Leviathan Bloodline enhancement.

Suddenly inspired, Gao Gong’s abdomen lit up with a ’Whale Hole,’ and in the next moment, his palm seemed to vanish into the cosmic vacuum.

A massive concentration of cosmic vacuum particles and light formed into a Star-devouring Whale and directly bit toward Number 3.

[By the Leviathan Bloodline’s blessing, this skill damage is +10%]

Number 3 revealed his true form, transforming into a Hulk towering over ten thousand meters, with human faces growing from chest to abdomen, although some faces had closed eyes and emitted a thick Corpse Qi, while others stared wide-eyed with blood tears streaming from them.

”You——”

Seeing the Star-devouring Whale overhead, Number 3’s eyes flashed with confusion but he didn’t hesitate. With simultaneous closed eyes on five human faces on his chest, a smaller ’Walter’ was squeezed out from his back, directly pouncing toward the giant whale, while the main body marched heavily in the void, turning into a long spear of starlight and slashed heavily downward.

In an instant, Gao Gong seemed to see cosmic stars, particle light points, endlessly pressing toward him.

Forced Lock Technique?

Gao Gong’s body appeared like a rock in another dimension, nailed firmly in place, with a subtle radiance highlighting the skill’s state.

Overlord Body (Tier 3): Upon use, the body enters a super rigidity state, Defense +100000, 100% ignores Armor-Piercing Techniques, 100% resists knockback, float, knockdown, knock-up, 74% ignores Grapple Techniques, Overdraft Technique, 51% resists Mind Control Skill; during skill combos, Overlord Body lasts 5 seconds, skills are uninterruptible, skill power +20%; when entering ’Invincible Dominator,’ all resistances double, offsetting 55.4% of opponent’s Break Dominating Body Techniques.

Watching Gao Gong being submerged in Biological Background Radiation, Number 3 relaxed slightly and turned to fly toward the dilapidated Interstellar Fortress.

Yet, in the next instant, a palm seemed to penetrate the space, directly grasping his throat.

”You killed many of my brothers; use your life to repay it.”

Normally, given their size, Gao Gong wouldn’t be able to grab even a tendon on the opponent’s neck, but eerily, such a small stature produced an identical, even more powerful oppressive force.

”You’re also ’Kun’s Child’?”

Number 3 clearly noticed from the opponent’s abdomen to chest, the four illuminating ’holes.’

Leviathan Mode: For every ’Whale Cave Seal’ unlocked, Power +100

The 400 points of Power enhancement, combined with Gao Gong’s ’Overlord Body,’ controlled the opponent momentarily.

At the same time, the memories of the deceased Old Hunters transmitted one by one to Gao Gong’s mind.

There is a secret connection between the Emperor and the Emperor’s Guard, and through this connection, Gao Gong almost witnessed the opponent’s techniques throughout, also discerning their flaw in the process.

Forbidden Technology is not reliable by nature; more precisely, it’s akin to high-profile scientific trickery.

At the moment of controlling the opponent nearly instantaneously, Gao Gong attacked, still with Bursting Grip, directly crushing 40% of the opponent’s Blood Volume.

But for Number 3 in ’Hundred into One’ state, it merely caused a face to close, rot, and emit Corpse Qi.

Gao Gong’s palm swiftly became transparent, and Number 3, who initially retained a sneer, suddenly paled, as clone faces rapidly closed on his body, soon sealing over half.

Vast power quickly drained from his being.

”This, you——”

Gao Gong had no obligation to explain to the enemy; the ’decay’ on his rotting palm continued to spread across the opponent’s Clone Essence pollution.

The Zombie Fruit’s main function is to ’reduce/increase Human Body Transformation Rate,’ and Clones inherently come with the ’Transformation debuff,’ which seems due to unstable Genetic Chains, making the transformation difficulty far higher than other species, though Primordial People’s limit is 100%, he is merely 50%.

Once the Clone’s transformation rate is reduced to 0, the ’Clone Essence’ brings a significant surprise to the opponent.

Apart from the rotten faces, the remaining faces widened their eyes as one malformed small hand drilled out of blood holes.

Large heads, small bodies, full of confusion.

”Number 3, no, I am Number 2!”

”The old thing killed me, no, it was my main body that absorbed me, no, I am the main body!!”

”My consciousness is splitting, get away, get away, you counterfeit goods, I am the genuine article!”

”You’re a clone too!”

”You’re a clone too!”

”You’re a clone too!”

This group of malformed Walters crawled all over Walter’s body, arguing, even dragging the main body into the chaos.

Meanwhile, Gao Gong’s long-prepared ultimate move had finally accumulated.

One Star-devouring Whale after another transformed from his body, a total of nine, enveloping the sky, surrounding the planet, their whale whiskers hanging as a mark on the heavens.

Nine Star-devouring Whales, simultaneously opening their black hole-like enormous mouths.

Whale Swallowing Tide!!
