Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Chapter 659 The Walker Who Couldn't Be a Good Mastermind

The combat power of Unit 2 far exceeds that of normal units. Zhang Xun originally requested them from higher-ups to supplement large-scale mecha combat units.

The biological mechs are far more overpowered than the metal mechs, not to mention that these EVA units were enhanced by Zhao Wanyang using Marvel God DNA.

Of course, this enhancement is also a weakening; Adam and Lilith's genes still pose a certain danger even in the original universe.

Zhang Xun had no intention of causing an impact on his home planet.

At this moment, in Quintessa's holographic image, Unit 2 is like a human who has fallen into a pile of worms, tearing through various pipes and destroying all kinds of equipment along the way.

"Interesting. You actually have this kind of technology? Is this really something carbon-based life forms can do?"

Quintasha was connected to several thin tubes, which allowed her to observe the holographic image from multiple angles.

On the other side of the holographic image is a depth scan of Unit 2, which clearly shows the restraint armor on Unit 2, as well as the bizarre creature beneath the armor that has no humanoid features whatsoever.

If the rampaging Unit-02 in the original series was like a reptile, then the Unit-02 appearing in the holographic image is more like a long-legged aquatic fish.

The main reason for all this is the Pugir whale gene that Zhao Wanyang later introduced.

As the strongest carbon-based life form to emerge in the later stages of Star Wars, the Pugil whale far surpasses any other creature Zhang Xun and his companions have ever seen, both in terms of warp drive and energy storage capabilities.

Apart from Sun Hui, who needs the Pugil whale gene for stabilization, only the EVA unit, which is 60 meters tall, best fits this gene in the team.

Quintessa used a large number of fine and sharp threads, and after many attempts, she finally managed to injure Unit 2 and obtain its blood.

For advanced civilizations, as long as they don't lock their own racial genes, it doesn't take long to analyze the genetic map of a carbon-based species.

Silicon-based life forms, in particular, often use computing power to represent their level of life. If it weren't for Zhang Xun's mechanical creations, which are all optical paths and have undergone special processing, Quintasha could have invaded enemy warships en masse as long as she could access the core of any combat unit.

Unfortunately, while Zhang Xun was carefully guarding against Tianwen, he was also wary of all other silicon-based life forms. In addition, he encountered many silicon-based entities of varying quality, making it impossible for Quintasha to implement this strategy.

"Energy! It actually contains such a massive amount of energy?"

Quintasha stared in astonishment, for in her view only mechanical life forms could store such a vast amount of energy within their bodies.

Neither in the Quintessons' history nor in the Cybertronian databases has any carbon-based life form been able to achieve a one-to-one intake and conversion.

Whether it's organic waste or the conversion of input liquid energy, its physiological nature results in 20% to 40% waste (taking humans as an example).

Even for parasitic organisms, the energy conversion rate of their food is at most 95%, but Quintasha can absorb nearly 96% of the energy from the blood she obtains. Keep in mind that this blood is not a complete living organism; its only task is to transport substances within the body.

If Quintessa's guess is correct, the life form that appears before her will have nearly 99% energy utilization.

Even if she cannot become a carbon-based life form, as long as she uses nanomaterials to mimic the characteristics of the other party, she will be able to directly control Unicron.

The property of having no energy wasted and being able to extract all the energy from the target is a perfect fit for manipulating the energy-absorbing Unicron.

"Mine, mine, give it to me, give it to me, bring it back to me!"

Due to interference from cosmic consciousness, Quintasha, who is being corrupted by higher-level energies, often experiences delirium when encountering objects she desires excessively.

At Quintessa's command, more than twenty Quintessons were simultaneously subjected to Quintessa's electric shocks.

As for why Quintessa didn't directly command Unicron, it's because her overly cautious nature prevented her from directly connecting to Unicron's body. Instead, she indirectly controlled Unicron through more than twenty Quintessons.

Soon, Unicron's body went into berserk mode. The Walker fleet, which had been able to hold on, was reduced to just a few large warships that could resist when Unicron increased his suction.

"Damn Quintessa, are you trying to wipe out your own people?"

One of the 'one-faced' beings was already showing signs of fatigue. The reason why the remaining few large warships had not had their energy stolen was because these five-faced monsters with only one face combined the abilities of everyone else and forcibly resisted the opponent's power.

Unlike Quintessa, who possesses brainwashing and electrical control abilities, the ten supreme leaders of the Quintessons all possess electrical control abilities. In addition to this basic ability, each of them has some other special abilities, whether it is molecular manipulation or energy transfer. They are all combat-oriented.

This is why Quintasha, who only possesses brainwashing abilities, was excluded from their core group.

Besides Quintessa's weak fighting ability, there was also the fear of her brainwashing ability.

If this battle hadn't happened so suddenly, Quintasha might have ended up being dismembered into 108 pieces in some accidental incident, a truly vicious 'suicide'.

Quintasha knew that the ten 'One Face' members also knew that one of them would inevitably disappear, but despite all their precautions, Quintasha still managed to strike first and succeed.

"Has the Walker people not responded yet?"

The one in the best condition, 'One Face', glared angrily at the five-faced monsters they were protecting below. To be honest, he didn't want to waste his energy saving them, but if he didn't save his race of only ten people, they could be wiped out.

The tech-savvy quintant, whose tentacles are all tools, was rapidly swinging its dozen or so tentacles, indicating that it was also extremely anxious at that moment.

"Reporting to the chief, we have tried to track their location using technical means, but the Walkers seem to be silent and are not responding to our signals at all."

The leader of the five-faced monsters lashed out a tentacle, tearing apart the metal floor in front of it.

"Damn 'Big Face,' I knew they were just spineless cowards, good-for-nothings. No wonder they can't accomplish anything!"

At this moment, one of the five-faced monsters protected below, with a peculiar look in its eyes, said, "We didn't either..."

Upon seeing this, his companion immediately used all of his tentacles to provide him with free medical care.

More than eighty tentacles (the same number of tentacles as the three pentagons) carefully wrapped around all five faces of the guy whose face was full of stories.

To prevent him from using other places to make sounds, the tentacles blocked all fifteen holes that allowed him to breathe.

At this moment, the 'face' referred to as the leader looked over and said, "What did you say?"

The first Quintesson to entangle the opponent immediately shook his head and said, "Chief, he's saying that the Walkers are nothing like us. They've already successfully ruled over many races. I think the Cybertronians are the most perfect race we've ever ruled."

"I didn't ask you!"

A high-speed tentacle ripped apart the five-faced monster that had responded, and then the other tentacles of the five-faced monster leader began to pick and choose, devouring the remaining parts of the monster.

As the leader of the Quintessons, he possesses not only the characteristic of being sturdy, but also the ability to devour silicon-based life forms and acquire some of their characteristics. Of course, this devouring ability is limited; he can only possess the characteristics of three other silicon-based life forms.

With a cruel nature, he completely ignored the other quintuplets who were terrified. He activated his own energy and his body's 'Sturdy' property. With the support of the energy, one of his tentacles became thick and hard. With one blow, he killed the foul-mouthed quintuplet and broke all the tentacles that were entangled with him.

"If it weren't for the life-or-death situation of our tribe, I would have chewed you all up! Get out!"

Unable to vent his anger, the five-faced monster leader picked up the remains of the man who had sought death and chewed them bit by bit.

"Pah, inferior product! Even the parts reek of rust!"

The leader turned to look at the other 'one-faced' one. Among the ten elders, only the two of them were in the best condition. Besides the fact that both of them had enhanced physical bodies, they were also extremely cruel and cunning.

"Horton, come with me to the special zone. I'm going to tear that bitch Quintasha to pieces."

Horton, who was called out, did not get up immediately. Instead, he grinned slyly and said, "You're asking me to go with you? Don't use me as a shield later. Just because I'm big doesn't mean I'm stupid. If you eat the Quintessa fragment, none of us will be in good shape."

If the Quintesson is a dwarf, and the Quintesson with one face is a thin noodle, then this Horton is a concrete block that has come to life.

Compared to the Transformers, which are generally ten meters tall, all the Quintessons look like malnourished dwarfs, and Horton is the most unique individual among these dwarfs.

The Quintessons are generally under two meters tall, but Horton is over four meters tall. In addition, his body size has not shrunk because he only has a face, which makes him as unique as a door among all the Quintessons.

His enormous size gave Horton strength and also enabled him to have silicon implants.

If carbon-based limb suturing surgery can cause rejection reactions, then silicon-based life forms will also experience rejection reactions.

Of course, this doesn't mean they have an immune system. The main point is that most silicon-based limbs have a large number of control units. In addition to increasing flexibility and improving reaction speed, these control units also have the special feature of subject recognition.

Once these limbs are implanted into the new body, if the identification fails, the limbs may become uncontrollable or even self-destruct from their connection core.

This is one of the reasons why Megatron's fighting power dropped drastically after he used other Decepticon limbs in the movie.

Even for entities of similar specifications, it takes time for information to be transformed into a new identification signal; even a few milliseconds can affect combat effectiveness.

Horton, however, did not have this problem. Under his enormous robes, no one knew how many combat limbs he had implanted.

The leader of the Quintessons frowned and asked, "What do you want from Horton?"

“My request is simple: you need to temporarily seal your extraction organs, and I will unseal them after we have dealt with Quintasa’s remains.”

"can."

To Horton's surprise, the other party readily agreed and, without having anyone else do it, used a laser to weld the extractor inside the mouth.

"Let's go! Otherwise we'll all die."

Unlike the Quintessons who were actively trying to save themselves, Asuka was already itching to kill the person who instigated the attack.

"Is this ever going to stop? Is this bastard some kind of tentacle monster that has come to life? Half of the nuclear power battery has fallen off!"

Asuka, who was already somewhat impatient, could no longer contain herself, and her attacks became less methodical than before.

Zhang Xun looked at the timer speechlessly. To be honest, he was already a little surprised that Asuka could hold out for more than 20 minutes before losing control.

It seems I'll have to find her another martial arts teacher when we get back, at least to continue practicing her internal energy cultivation.

"Asuka, slow down your counterattack."

"what?"

“The enemy doesn’t want to kill us, so let them show us around, though you might have to suffer a bit.”

Is there any compensation?

Asuka did not object; she knew it was the best solution.

Looking at the childlike Asuka, Zhang Xun couldn't help but say, "You can name your own terms after the war, but don't go too far."

Upon receiving Zhang Xun's reply, Asuka immediately began to perform with all her might.
