Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 590 - 420: Tier Nine Mechanical Beasts Enter the Fray
The aliens who abandoned their flesh and blood, keeping only their consciousness, held no secrets in Grey Wolf’s hands.
Thus, the entire story background of the "Civilization’s Wound" dungeon was directly pieced together by Grey Wolf.
It must be said that this alien race, much like dwarves, after entering the interstellar civilization, became somewhat reckless.
Eventually, they provoked another more advanced interstellar civilization, leading to their annihilation.
The home planet of the dwarf alien race, called Celestial Star, was directly attacked with the "Red Sorrow Fog" by the enemy, causing genetic mutations throughout the planet.
All living things, whether animals or plants, were affected, each undergoing genetic mutation amidst the disaster.
The dwarf alien race suffered the most, as the "Red Sorrow Fog" was tailored specifically against them.
While other animals and plants mutated to higher life forms,
the dwarf alien race mutated into monsters. Once mutation began, they quickly lost their sanity, eventually turning into terrifying monsters, completely devoid of reason, and becoming bloodthirsty creatures.
The leaders of the dwarf alien race, along with their families and some elite members, fled Celestial Star on interstellar battleships or spacecraft, escaping into the cosmos to avoid the enemy’s pursuit.
The vast majority of the dwarf alien race was abandoned on their home planet, destroyed by the "Red Sorrow Fog," until they faced total annihilation.
Some determined scientists gathered overnight in several super laboratory bases to begin researching countermeasures.
To delay the time the "Red Sorrow Fog" would destroy their genes, they first implemented semi-mechanical transformations, allowing for some genetic mutations of the dwarf alien race, buying a bit of time.
Unfortunately, the "Red Sorrow Fog" was indeed a formidable weapon created by a more advanced interstellar civilization.
Even though the dwarf alien race on the home planet held on for more than a year, they couldn’t resolve the crisis and ultimately met their end, the entire race annihilated in unwillingness.
Some unwilling scientists transmitted their consciousness into a server database, becoming electronic life forms, forever trapped within the server, barely surviving.
However, the energy of the laboratory bases would eventually deplete, and at that time, they would still face ultimate destruction.
Just to delay the time of death, they put the laboratory bases into an energy-saving state, capable of prolonging life by over a thousand years.
Of course, in energy-saving mode, they themselves largely fell into slumber.
This is one of the reasons why Grey Wolf could capture them so swiftly.
"Boss, quite a few pieces of equipment in this base are still intact and can be utilized by us.
Moreover, I have cracked the lower-level control permissions of the Tier Nine mechanical beasts and can control them now."
Grey Wolf looked at the various analyzed items on the screen and turned to Mo Qingchen.
"Then activate these Tier Nine mechanical beasts and clear out all the failed products that are out of control on the first, second, and third floors."
The combined Transformers, having destroyed a portion of Tier Eight and below mechanical beasts, had fallen into a state of energy depletion.
At this moment, engaged in close combat with these mechanical beasts, the metallic body showed varying degrees of damage.
If it weren’t for the fact that this thing became extremely huge upon combining, it would have likely been torn apart into broken metal plates by the mechanical beasts swarming it.
"No problem, watch me, the great king!"
Nodding, Grey Wolf immediately sent out a command.
A fly robot stationed at the server connector on the fifth underground level entered an extremely complex password chain into the server.
The next moment, the dim underground laboratory seemed to be activated, with one light after another emitting a red-white glow.
The base server activated, the database started, operation systems commenced, and then the system’s control was directly transferred over to the "Spacecraft."
"Little Moron, revoke the slumber command of the Tier Nine mechanical beasts and input the extermination task, targeting the mechanical monster groups on the first, second, and third underground floors!"
"Received, taking over the terminal system on the fifth floor of the underground experiment base, converting command format... revoking the slumber command of Tier Nine mechanical beasts... modifying task commands... energy transmission in progress... all Tier Nine mechanical beasts activated!"
Accompanied by the voice of Little Moron, all the Tier Nine mechanical beasts lying dormant on the fourth underground floor simultaneously emitted a blood-red light from their eyes.
The next moment, the clattering of mechanical gears echoed from within their bodies.
Energy began to circulate within their bodies, activating one module after another.
After about ten seconds, these rust-covered Tier Nine mechanical beasts began to move, each getting up from the floor and starting to test their joints.
Another ten seconds later, their bodies fully activated, regaining agility, and each began interfacing with the terminal control console. After reading the topographic map, they commenced their attack on the mechanical monster groups on the first, second, and third underground floors.
The transition from slow stuttering movement to nimble agility to rapid displacement took only three seconds, bringing all Tier Nine mechanical beasts back to their normal state.
The next moment, a variety of weapons deployed from within their bodies.
There were guns and artillery, high-tech melee weapons, and even small detectors or trackers.
