Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 148 Disintegration
The men in black also noticed these bullets. Unlike the previous ones, these bullets had tracking capabilities and could not be shaken off.

Seeing that the bullets were about to hit him, he could only activate the "Void" to try to be physically immune to the attack.

But it was of no avail, as the highly phase-synchronized bullets penetrated his flesh solidly.

"Puchi"

Instantly, it penetrates the target's skin, tearing the surrounding muscles and blood vessels.

"Click"

Then, the bullet penetrated the bone, and the sound of bone breaking was like breaking glass.

"Puchi"

The bullet penetrated the flesh, bringing out a small red mist that dissipated into the air bit by bit.

Leaving painful groans and gasps in the air.

Then, he heard a burst of gunfire and was forced to use phase shift again.

This time the bullet was smarter and followed him through a phase shift, still chasing him and refusing to let him go.

This time, Yuanze did not hear the sound of flesh piercing through the body. Instead, he heard a clanging sound like a hammer hitting an anvil.

Yuanze walked over slowly and saw the man in black slowly standing up by holding onto a tree. In his other hand he was holding a piece of black mineral of unknown substance, and the dents on his body were being stitched up bit by bit.

"He uses the power of the source to synchronize his body with a specific substance, fusing his own material properties with the target substance, thereby gaining the properties of that substance." Astra supplemented his new ability.

"It should be related to the substance in his hand. However, he seemed unskilled and did not perform well. He failed to defend it completely."

"Although he may not be able to master this technique, you should be thankful that there are no rivers nearby. If he had mastered the properties of water flow, it would have been difficult for you to find him."

The man in black also spotted Yuan Ze and stared at him intently, not relaxing at all. Obviously, escaping was impossible, but there was still a glimmer of hope if he tried his best.

So, he gripped the bayonet tightly and took the lead in attacking, with his moves being more fierce than before.

The black-clad man's bayonet flashed coldly and quickly stabbed at Yuan Ze. Yuan Ze dodged sideways and counterattacked with the enhanced strength of his battle suit, elbowing the black-clad man in the chest.

The black-clad man and Yuan Ze's whole body synchronized reaction allowed him to barely block the attack, but his movements seemed stiff, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the knockdown.

"He is maintaining the recovery of his wounds, and the source energy consumption is quite large. If we keep the source energy synchronized and engage in a protracted war with him, he will definitely lose." Astra reminded Yuanze.

The man in black became even more anxious after Yuanze simultaneously resolved several attacks in a row.

He changed his strategy and threw the bayonet at Yuanze, while quickly distanced himself and prepared to use his hollow ability again.

However, the source power in a synchronized state also allowed Yuan Ze to easily detect the mobilization of his source power.

Yuan Ze used his battle suit to maximize the efficiency of using his energy, and almost at the same time arrived in front of him.

This made the man in black realize that his source power and Yuanze's were in a highly synchronized state.

He gritted his teeth and took the blow head on, using the gap left by the blow to forcibly reconstruct his own phase state.

This also interrupted the synchronization state that Yuanze obtained from the phase gun.

"This is the first time I've met an opponent like you. Even without the ability of gene lock, you can still fight with me." The man in black stood up from the ground and actually smiled.

"Why don't you consider telling me who you are? Maybe I can give you a chance to survive." Yuan Ze also smiled, as a way of returning the favor.

"I don't think that's necessary. You just forced me to reconstruct my own phase, and it also made me understand one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"You will regret not killing me with that blow just now!"

Before the words could reach Yuanze's ears, the man in black teleported to Yuanze's face and stomped him to the ground. The man in black laughed as he saw Yuanze trying hard to move his foot away from his face but found that he couldn't do it no matter what.

"You know what? Reconstruction requires disintegration first. I used to think that this would cause me to disintegrate, but just now I found that I can completely maintain this state of phase disintegration."

"so what?"

"Every part of me you see is not in the current real space, but in the virtual space. This is why you can touch my entity but cannot move it at all. In this state, I am invincible."

"Really? I don't want to see you slap yourself in the face. There are many people who said they were invincible in front of me, but they didn't survive."

Yuanze suddenly felt relieved and immersed himself in the "flow" thinking that the so-called virtual space should be the quantum space full of uncertainty.

In the state of "flow", time becomes slow, but Yuanze's thoughts still run at lightning speed.

He understood that in order to crack the black-clad man's ability, he had to find the key point of phase reconstruction.

Virtual space, quantum space, reconstruction phase - these concepts quickly intertwined in his mind.

The uncertainty of virtual space gives him powerful abilities, but it also brings about extreme instability.

Then his ability to maintain this state stably must rely on some special mechanism.

"No need to destroy the mechanism." Astra reminded Yuan Ze, "Remember the interference array during the battle against the Turritopsis dohrnii."

"Remember!"

"Its principle is quantum decoherence. You can try to construct it with your mental power." Astra found some content from the previous Mingtu materials and passed it to Yuanze.

Yuanze began to circulate the source power in his body, concentrating his mental power to construct a complex quantum interference field.

He used his "flow" ability to quickly simulate the structure and operation of the interference field in his mind.

This interference field will interfere with the quantum state conversion between virtual space and real space, making it impossible for the man in black to remain stable in virtual space.

When the man in black saw Yuanze closing his eyes, he thought he was ready to sit there and wait for death, so he didn't bother to talk to him anymore and picked up the knife to kill him.

But at this moment, he suddenly lost his balance, and the knife that was stabbing downwards also stabbed crookedly to the side.

Only then did he realize that the leg that was stepping on Yuanze's helmet had completely disappeared at some point.

And his arms began to disappear little by little, and he felt no pain at all.

He watched all this in horror, but was powerless to do anything. He looked at Yuan Ze: "What is that in your hand?"

Yuan Ze smiled and said, "Then let me make it clear to you. This is the quantum decoherence field constructed by mental force and source force, which causes the quantum state to interact strongly with the environment, thus destroying its stability."

"How do you know all this?!"

Yuanze pushed away the other leg that was pressing on him: "I learned all this just to defeat you who is invincible."

Hearing this, regret suddenly flooded into his mind. He originally had a chance to escape.

I had just mastered a new ability and I was so valued by the leader, how could I die like this?

"I can not be reconciled!"

"I'm not willing to..."

Unwilling to give up, he simply expanded the chaotic state to the extreme, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

Before Yuanze could even get away from him, a violent collapse occurred, directly submerging Yuanze in the dazzling light.
