Chapter 327 89. Absolute Control
Facing Adam's heavy punch, Carl could not do much to react.

He was already in an extreme state, relying on "strengthened tendons" to forcibly change his trajectory of movement. When he landed, the time had not even passed the entire second after he started to evade, and his body had not yet completely stopped. At such a moment, it was obviously impossible for him to make a conscious evasive action.

Should I put my hands together again and try to use my arms to block Adam's sledgehammer fist, or try to hack into it to see if I can do anything?
Carl had calculated the trajectory of Adam's sledgehammer fist. According to his calculations, Adam's fist would eventually hit his head at an extremely precise angle, with enough force to knock his entire head and spine off, causing it to spin in the air and fly into the sky.

"This is the only choice."

Carl chose to hack into it.

Invasion, invasion of Adam's Hammer?
how is this possible.

Adam's Hammer has military-grade ICE protection and an interference intrusion program specially developed for it. It is nothing but a pipe dream for Carl to complete the invasion in an instant and control Adam's Hammer to stop.

Is there any place where the invasion can be completed and controlled in an instant?
There is no doubt that nature only has itself.

Since I know all the cracking methods by heart, aren't I the best target for cracking?

Although prostheses are controlled by humans, even the most sophisticated prostheses have parts that are difficult for humans to intervene in at the most basic operational level.

For example, for a prosthetic function like a projectile launching program, the operator obviously cannot control the entire operation process in detail, from the beginning of deformation to the launch of the micro-missile. Ordinary users do not have enough energy to control the entire process. They will only give a simple command to the projectile launching program on the arm to make it start to deform and get ready.

As for how it unfolds and deforms, and how it prepares for launch, these details are beyond the control of ordinary operators.

But Karl is no ordinary man.

Just because ordinary people can’t do it doesn’t mean Carl can’t do it.

The tendon strengthening operation has just finished, and a second input command is needed within a short period of time to allow it to 'slowly' start the second operation?
This is not a program running, so we need to let it wait for it to work.

'Make it work for me again.'

Invade, control, force.

Simply inputting commands won’t work, so I’ll take over the lowest-level operations myself and make it work.

Every part of the body should be under Carl's control only, even external parts such as prostheses.

Carl's mind flashed with what Lao Wei had said.

"Your body's rejection reaction to the prosthesis is surprisingly low. It's as if the prosthesis belongs to you naturally after it is installed in your body."

It was born to be mine, naturally!

The moment you enter my body, you have no choice but to obey me.

The data stream, along with Carl's consciousness, was forcibly poured into the core control of the strengthened tendons.

The reinforced tendon was not charged, so it could not send out compressed air again to change Carl's trajectory again. However, in addition to allowing Carl to have the function of secondary movement, it was also a biomechanical connective tissue that provided support for the leg muscles. In other words, it also provided support for Carl when he was standing. Now all he had to do was control this support and make it stop.
"call!"

Adam Hammer aimed his punch accurately at Carl's head but missed. Feeling that his arm did not give him any feedback of the hit, Adam Hammer's blood-red prosthetic eyes could not help but simulate the reaction of human pupils shrinking slightly due to the fluctuation of emotions.

'Missed?'

Impossible. This incredible thought appeared in Adam Hammer's mind for the first time since the battle began.

Judging from Adam Hammer's combat procedures and his own combat experience, it is absolutely impossible for Carl to avoid this attack. In Adam Hammer's prediction, the only thing Carl can do is to close his arms that had just been opened, and then under his own huge force, his arms will be crushed and he will be knocked away. The result should be like this!
He was so determined to break the arrogant boy's arm and let him understand why his attack, which was absolutely inferior to his own, missed!

As Adam Hammer was feeling disbelief, Carl had already stood beside him.

When a person is standing, the fastest downward movement is not squatting under conscious control, but rather the result of muscle weakness that is unable to contract and relax normally.

At that moment, Carl forcibly manipulated the 'reinforced tendons' so that they no longer functioned to support the basic functions of his leg muscles, causing his legs to go limp while he half-squatted to avoid Adam's hammer attack on his head. Then, he took over the support again and stepped aside.

"You're one step behind, Mr. Adam Hammer."

Along with Carl's polite address and smile came the single molecule line without a trace of hesitation.

Coming from the side, the single molecule wire, beyond Adam Hammer's expectation, hit Adam Hammer's left eye. The electric current and sharpness attached to it instantly broke through the protection of Adam Hammer's artificial eye. As the blue light flickered, a blood-red eye was forcibly closed under the influence of external factors.

Feeling the loss of vision in his left eye and the tingling current that had already reached his brain, Adam Heavy Hammer was not afraid of electric current despite the simulated grounding coating intelligent relay system installed in his robotic body. But at this moment, he still truly felt a threat to his life.

This was no longer the kind of contest in the past where although he felt humiliated, everything was still under his control. Instead, it was a real attack that made him feel his life was in danger. It was an unexpected and fatal blow that was beyond his control.

Although his left eye was lost, Adam Hammer was still the same Adam Hammer. While he kept the two automatic rifles on his shoulders pointed at V and Jack who were trying to approach him from a distance, Adam Hammer's arms were in the blind spot and accurately swung at Carl, interrupting Carl's attempt to attack further.

Feeling the palm of his hand passing in front of him, cutting through the air like a razor and making a 'whooshing' sound, Carl wisely took a step back and dodged the attack, which was extremely dangerous due to the length and strength of the arm.

If you were hit by such a blow, you would probably be cut in half.

After Carl took a step back, Adam's remaining right eye from the hammer locked onto Carl.

However, he did not launch an attack immediately, but asked a question.

"what is this?"

Obviously, Adam's Hammer refers to Carl's two outbursts in such an extreme state, each lasting less than one second.

"You can call it forced overclocking or forced control, the usage is almost the same anyway."

In fact, Carl, who was also doing this for the first time, didn't mind delaying to answer Adam Heavy Hammer's question. He stared at Adam Heavy Hammer's broken left eye and continued to smile:

“But I prefer to call it that.”

Sparks flashed on Adam's left eye that was broken by the heavy hammer. In the flickering sparks, Carl, who had a knife hidden in his left hand, took a light step and disappeared on the spot again.

“Absolute control.”

Kenichi Shiro once observed Carl's fighting. At that time, he wondered why Carl's fighting skills looked a little awkward, as if the connection between the movements and the techniques were not coordinated with the body. But if he could witness Carl's fighting with his own eyes now, that doubt would surely disappear.

Because at this moment, Carl has reached the level of control.

His body, his fighting skills, and all the connections in his existence were extremely smooth at this moment.
