Chapter 80: Extra Meal Tonight
Having an invincible state is so satisfying. Su Chen can tell you that it's absolutely amazing!
No matter what the Controller does, he cannot affect the five people. Instead, all of their attacks will land on the Controller.
However, the turtle shell around the Controller is too hard. It takes the five of them many attacks to break it once, and then the turtle shell reappears for the next attack, forcing them to start all over again.
This wastes a lot of time, and the 0-second invincibility time has already passed for 10 seconds.
"Commander, this won't work. Even though we have an invincible state, our attacks are too weak," Ju Ling's voice rings in Su Chen's mind.
"What can we do?"
"I noticed something just now. Only when he's being attacked will the defense layer on his body disappear. As long as we can lure out his attacks, everyone else can output their attacks, and we have a chance to defeat him."
Su Chen understands Ju Ling's point. In short, they need someone as bait, and who is more suitable than Su Chen, who is the Commander?
Ju Ling didn't say it directly, probably feeling conflicted inside. They were supposed to protect the Commander, but now they have to make him the bait, which makes her want to die immediately.
Bait is not something you can just casually become. Controller has probably noticed the invincibility state on them, which means that before it disappears, Controller won't attack easily.
The most critical moment is when the invincibility state disappears. At that moment, Controller will definitely think that they have lost all resistance and will certainly launch a deadly attack.
After all, invincibility for thirty seconds comes at no cost, and Controller doesn't believe it.
Su Chen carefully thinks about it and realizes that this is the only way. Otherwise, this mission is basically a failure.
"Okay, that's settled!"
Of course, they didn't waste the 0-second invincibility state. All their ultimate moves appeared again, and this time their goal was to consume Controller's energy.
Even a Seventh Order peak Controller's energy is not infinite. Without energy, Controller can only rely on his own physical strength, which is only at the level of Ju Ling and Yuri, and can't compare to Tanya and Guangtou Qiang.
Soon, the 0-second invincibility state disappears, and all five of them groan and try to step back. At that moment, Controller's eyes light up. He has been waiting for this moment.
As Su Chen expected, Controller doesn't believe that the so-called invincibility state comes at no cost. Since it does have a cost, as soon as the time is up, these people will all suffer some damage, and that is Controller's opportunity.
"He waved his hand, and a small fire dragon appeared instantly, attacking Su Chen. He never forgot that Su Chen was the center of these people.
However, at this moment, Controller suddenly noticed a hint of a smile at the corner of Su Chen's mouth. His face changed, not good!
"One punch!" Guangtou Qiang's right fist emitted a dazzling light, hitting Controller heavily. Controller's eyes almost popped out, spitting out blood, and flying out.
"One shot!" Tanya was not weak, and her pistol, combined into one, emitted a bullet like a small sun, which shot into Controller's abdomen.
Yuri's eyes widened, the veins around his eye sockets bulged, and his invisible psychic power surrounded Controller's whole body, making his body stiff even though he could not control it.
"Killing move!" Ju Ling's bullet, which had been charged and waiting, flew like a flying dragon, piercing through Controller's head, and finally his body fell to the ground, motionless.
The surrounding flame zone gradually extinguished, and Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the final plan worked, otherwise they might not have been able to defeat Controller. He never thought that a Seventh Order peak Transcendent would be so powerful. He didn't even know what kind of strength an Eighth Order Transcendent would have.
"Crisis resolved, let's clean up here, and then we'll go back to celebrate."
Just then, the voice of the System rang out: "Master, the Invader is not dead."
"What? This thing didn't die, it's impossible..." Su Chen couldn't find the words to say. He saw Controller, who should have been dead, standing up from the ground. The half of his head that was missing looked terrifying in this situation.
"I didn't want to reveal this, but I didn't expect to be forced to this point by you guys." Controller's voice was hoarse, and his eyes looking at Su Chen and the others were no longer like those of a human.
Crack, crack!
Strange sounds kept coming from Controller's body, and at the same time, large bumps appeared on his body's surface, as if something was about to break out from his body.
Puff!
Finally, Controller's body exploded, and a monster that looked like an octopus emerged from his body.
At first, the octopus was small, at most about the size of an adult, but in a few breaths, its body suddenly grew larger, soon reaching a height of more than ten meters, becoming a behemoth!
"What the hell is this? How come I've never heard of a Transcendent being able to transform?" Su Chen exclaimed.
"Master, this Mutant Beast is not the previous Base City Controller. If I'm not mistaken, this Mutant Beast had already planted a seed in Controller's body. It was supposed to wait until the seed matured before devouring Controller. But since the Master killed Controller, the seed had to be born prematurely," System explained.
Hearing System's words, Su Chen suddenly realized that Transcendents weren't that powerful after all, to be able to turn into this.
"After all that, it's just a Mutant Beast? So, do you want it grilled or steamed?" Su Chen looked at this huge sea creature and couldn't help but feel the urge to eat it.
The octopus was very angry. It could see from a human's face that they wanted to eat it. Stupid humans, only it had the right to eat humans. When did humans dare to eat it?
In its anger, the octopus swung its huge feet and wanted to take down Su Chen and the others.
Bang!
A gunshot sounded, and the flying octopus leg was broken. The huge pain made the octopus confused.
It had absorbed the energy of a Controller, although it had not reached the Seventh Order peak, it was still at the mid-Seventh Order level, yet it couldn't even deal with several Sixth Order peak humans?
Before it grew up, it was just a seed and had no idea what the Controller had experienced.
A Seventh Order peak Controller was dead, what was a mid-Seventh Order octopus?
"Brothers, we're having an extra meal tonight!"
