But the water blades are endless, and occasionally a blade slips through and hits the suit, leaving shallow cuts. The nano-units self-repair, quickly repairing the damage.
Chen Yuan exerted all his strength, using various weapons in turn, switching between offense and defense at an extreme speed, making full use of his forty times physical strength and the amplification of his battle suit, but he was still gradually suppressed in all aspects.
He is now like a small boat in a storm, which could be swallowed up by the raging waves at any moment.
Cangming's attacks were powerful and majestic, wielding the power of the entire ocean with every move, making him seem like a true sea god.
Chen Yuan, with his top-notch technological combat suit and unwavering will, struggled to hold on in the face of adversity.
In the short term, Chen Yuan can barely maintain his undefeated status thanks to his superb reflexes and the performance of his battle suit, but it is clear to anyone with eyes to see that he is ultimately a step below the top.
Energy depletion and damage to the suit were accumulating, and defeat seemed to be only a matter of time.
At this moment, Greylong watched from afar and muttered to himself, "Truly astonishing, to be able to withstand such pressure. It's a pity that he encountered Cangming, who had reached the pseudo-sixth rank by borrowing power. It seems... the outcome is already decided."
However, Chen Yuan was waiting, waiting for an opportunity, a chance that might turn the tide of the battle.
This battle is far from over.
The immense pressure of the deep sea was like an invisible mountain. Every time it collided with the ocean power controlled by Cangming, Chen Yuan felt his blood surging and his nerves being stretched to their limit.
Even with forty times the physical attributes and a 1200% increase in strength, it still seemed insufficient in the face of the pseudo-sixth-tier power of heaven and earth.
The feeling of helplessness—that every bit of strength must be carefully calculated, yet it is still difficult to bridge the fundamental gap—is becoming increasingly clear.
"This can't go on..."
Chen Yuan used his sword to cut through a high-pressure water jet powerful enough to slice through a submarine, using the force to retreat rapidly. His pulse cannon blasted away the pursuing waterspout, and he made a decision in an instant.
Relying on human reaction and judgment is ultimately limited and prone to error, especially in this kind of unconventional battle. Now, we can only use our last trump card.
"Loongson!"
He shouted in his mind, "Activate highest privileges, combat management mode, and give you 100% control over the suit's performance and tactical decisions!"
"Command confirmed, taking over with highest privileges..."
"Neural connection synchronization rate 100%, environmental data stream recalibrated... Combat logic library fully loaded... Loongson managed mode activated."
An incomparably cold and absolutely rational will instantly took over every nanounit of the Loongson 9 suit and every motor neuron in Chen Yuan's body.
At this moment, Chen Yuan's subjective consciousness did not disappear, but he became a clear observer, feeling his body and battle suit bursting forth with unprecedented precision and efficiency under the drive of another will.
In an instant, the temperament of Chen Yuan, or rather the combat unit under his control, underwent a dramatic change.
The previous ferocious, intense, and willful fighting style has disappeared, replaced by a chilling calm and efficiency.
Every movement was like the most precise machine, without a single superfluous step. The flow of energy light became stable and peaceful, as if the battle suit itself had come to life and become a perfect work of art in battle.
Cangming, who was preparing to launch another crushing attack, keenly noticed this change.
A hint of surprise flashed in his azure eyes: "The aura has changed... it's like a completely different person, what's going on?"
"High-energy reaction accumulation detected, regional high-pressure water explosion predicted. The optimal solution utilizes the gravitational field to distort the detonation point and accelerates in the opposite direction with the help of the shock wave. The avoidance route calculation is complete."
Loongson's thought process flashed through Chen Yuan's mind.
Almost at the same time that Cangming waved his hand to gather energy, Chen Yuan had already flown forward. He did not try to withstand the attack or simply dodge in a straight line as before.
Instead, with palms facing down, the electromagnetic gravitational field does not erupt all at once, but rather acts precisely on the seawater in a specific area beneath one's feet, creating a subtle imbalance, while the thrusters on the back briefly maintain flight.
"boom!"
The water explosion created by Cangming detonated at the predicted location, but most of its power was cleverly diverted. Chen Yuan then used the shockwave and his own momentum to instantly circle around to the side and rear of Cangming in an arc-shaped trajectory that defied physical intuition, moving much faster than before.
"what?"
Cangming was shocked. This kind of skill in utilizing power and the environment to the extreme was simply unbelievable. He hurriedly manipulated the water flow to form a water barrier behind him.
But Chen Yuan's attack had already begun.
Instead of pursuing maximum power, the pulse particle cannon fires in bursts at a peculiar frequency, each shot precisely hitting the energy flow points of the protective barrier. High technology is able to analyze the weak points of the energy.
At the same time, the freezing ray from his left palm acted like a scalpel, not freezing a large area, but instantly freezing the several undercurrents that Cangming was using to gain leverage.
"Crack!"
The water flow barrier collapsed due to the destruction of the nodes, and the foothold disappeared, causing Cangming's figure to freeze slightly.
"It's now!"
The light blades formed from the six mechanical wings did not swarm forward all at once, but instead attacked in three groups. Two groups made feint attacks from above and below to attract attention, while the last group, like a lurking viper, silently stabbed at the tiny opening exposed by Cangming's sluggish movement—a tiny gap in an energy interface on the side of his armor.
"laugh!"
With a soft sound, a blade of light narrowly missed him. Although it was blocked by the water armor that Cangming had just conjured, and thus did not cause any real damage, it still gave him a fright.
"How could I be beaten so badly by this guy? This is outrageous!" Cangming felt increasingly frustrated as the fight went on; it was truly unbelievable.
Chapter 200 The Mysterious Grey Dragon
"Perfect...absolutely perfect!"
Watching the battle, Grellon couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his eyes behind his glasses shining with fervor. "Not a single unnecessary movement, the energy utilization efficiency has reached the theoretical limit, every tactical choice is the optimal solution. This is not a human piloting a mech, this is simply the AI of war intelligence itself!"
"Something's not right, this guy?"
Cangming's face darkened completely.
He discovered that he was no longer facing a powerful enemy, but a combat machine that was devoid of any emotional fluctuations, made no mistakes, and possessed astonishing computational abilities.
The opponent always manages to cleverly and effortlessly neutralize or deflect the power of the ocean that they are so proud of.
The First Speaker's attacks seemed to hit cotton, while the opponent's counterattacks were like scalpels, precise, deadly, and aimed straight at the vitals, which made Cangming extremely frustrated.
"The abyss has descended!"
Cangming roared, holding nothing back, and unleashed an even stronger killing move.
He held his hands in a cupped gesture, and the seawater from the entire battlefield converged into his palms, compressing into a miniature black hole-like sphere of extreme darkness and astonishing gravity.
This simulates the ultimate pressure of a deep-sea trench, designed to devour and crush everything.
Faced with this terrifying blow, Chen Yuan, who was managed by Loongson, remained frighteningly calm.
"A combined attack from a super-strong gravitational source and pressure field has been detected. Threat level: Extremely high. Option 1 cannot be completely avoided or offset. Execute the optimal survival strategy: concentrate energy and launch a point-to-point breakthrough."
All weapon systems shut down instantly, and even the shield energy was recycled.
All the energy in the suit, including the reserves of the miniature stellar reactor, was frantically poured into the pulse particle cannon on the right arm.
At this moment, the muzzle of the cannon shone with an unprecedented light, and even began to become unstable, like a star about to explode as a supernova.
Instead of trying to escape or defend himself, he concentrated all his strength on one point.
"emission!"
A pulse of light, so dense and tiny yet containing destructive power, shot with unparalleled precision toward the core of the miniature black hole, the singularity with the strongest gravity, like the first ray of light at the dawn of the universe.
"Boom!"
An extreme, oppressive explosion occurred, the light engulfed everything, and the terrifying energy shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, completely emptying the surrounding seawater and forming a huge vacuum sphere, even flattening the seabed rock layers by tens of meters.
People scattered and fled. Even Grelong retreated a considerable distance, but he was still affected and took a few steps back.
As the light and chaotic energy subsided slightly, Cangming was seen breathing heavily. The black hole in his hand had disappeared, and the energy tide around him had dimmed considerably.
In the distance, Chen Yuan hovered, the pulse cannon muzzle on his right arm glowing crimson and emitting wisps of white steam due to overload, and his battle suit was also showing more damage, but he still stood steadily in the air, very calm.
The two are evenly matched!
Looking into the other person's unwavering gaze, Cangming felt an indescribable chill rise in his heart for the first time.
This young man not only possesses bizarre technological powers, but also has the terrifying ability to transform himself into an absolute weapon.
"What...what kind of monster are you?"
Cangming's voice carried a hint of solemnity that he himself was unaware of.
Chen Yuan, who was under the trusteeship of Loongson, naturally wouldn't answer.
It simply calmly assessed the damage and energy reserves, calculating the optimal plan for the next round of attacks.
The battle has entered its most intense phase.
On one side is a pseudo-sea god that draws upon the power of heaven and earth, possessing boundless and immense strength; on the other side is a perfect weapon that prioritizes absolute rationality and efficiency.
In this showdown atop the deep sea, the balance of victory has once again become unpredictable.
Grelon's eyes darted around, as if he were thinking about something.
The deep-sea battlefield has now become a forbidden zone where pure energy and absolute power collide.
The lower-level awakened beings and the sea beasts that were still alive had long since fled far away, not even having the courage to watch the battle. The two councilors, who were slightly injured, also left the battlefield to watch from a distance.
Only two figures remained in the arena, engaged in a duel beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
As Cangming fought, he became increasingly alarmed. By burning his source essence and drawing upon the power of the ocean, he forcibly pushed his strength to the pseudo-sixth rank, thinking he could easily defeat his opponent.
However, the metal creation Chen Yuan opposite him seemed to possess a bottomless abyss of energy.
His attacks, whether they involve the immense pressure of tens of thousands of tons of seawater or the water spears that condense extreme penetrating power, require a huge expenditure of mental energy and essence.
And what about the other party?
That strange battle suit seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of energy.
Pulse particle cannons, freezing rays, gravitational fields, nanoblades... all sorts of powerful attacks were unleashed in turn, at an alarmingly high frequency, and each energy output was terrifyingly stable, showing no signs of exhaustion.
"How is this possible? Even the most advanced nuclear-powered armor in the old world couldn't possibly have such a sustained and high-intensity energy output, unless it were transplanted from the moon..."
Cangming was horrified. He manipulated a high-pressure water tornado to force Chen Yuan back, and he himself had to catch his breath and feel the life essence in his body being consumed at an accelerated rate.
"What exactly is his energy core?"
"The enemy's energy fluctuations have shown a periodic decline. Analysis: Forcibly increasing strength would be too taxing and unsustainable. We recommend employing attrition tactics to maximize their weaknesses."
Loongson's cold logic precisely analyzed the battle situation, and the offensive of "Chen Yuan" under its control not only did not decrease but increased, becoming even more cunning and ruthless.
Instead of pursuing a one-hit kill, they used their perfect mobility and energy advantage to constantly force Cangming into high-consumption offensive and defensive transitions.
For a moment, the situation seemed evenly matched. Later, Chen Yuan subtly gained the upper hand, and Cangming was forced to adopt a more defensive stance, relying on his exquisite control of the seawater to defuse the attacks. His expression grew increasingly grim.
Just as these two top experts were locked in a stalemate, at the edge of the battlefield, the six Poseidon mechs that had completed their clearing mission turned their crimson sensors toward Greylong, who had been observing from the sidelines.
In Loongson's global combat logic, this unidentified, high-energy-response unknown target is a potential threat that needs to be eliminated or deterred by force.
