Chapter 678 - 419: Martial God Chip_2

"Boom boom boom boom boom——" In the hypersonic movement, Dongdong’s body surrounded Adam, creating dozens of afterimages. At a glance, they were everywhere, as if dozens of her were fighting simultaneously.

These afterimages attacked almost simultaneously, thunderous heavy punches crushing toward Adam from all directions. Once hit by such force, even the Titan Mecha would be reduced to scrap metal. Even with Adam’s Apocalypse Level 1 Artificial Body, he might be severely damaged.

In this moment of crisis, facing Dongdong’s violent assault, Adam remained unmoved. His facial expression didn’t change a bit, still carrying that mocking, disdainful smirk.

Just as the rain of heavy punches was about to hit Adam, he suddenly moved, his footwork shifting back and forth, dragging his body to throw out a tapestry of distorted afterimages.

Although Dongdong’s strikes arrived almost simultaneously, it was only "almost." No matter how fast she was, it was impossible to truly bypass the laws of physics and appear in dozens of locations at the same time. These afterimages crumbled as visual illusions formed by super high-speed movement.

Each punch from those afterimages had an almost imperceptible sequence, and this almost negligible time gap was captured by Adam. He changed his footwork like a phantom, dodging all the strikes without a single hit landing on him.

After evading all the strikes, a cold gleam flashed at Adam’s fingertips, piercing through like a meteor, directly capturing Dongdong’s location amidst the vast afterimages.

Dongdong’s breath caught suddenly, and if it weren’t for her long-trained combat nerves making her instinctively dodge, this strike might have severely damaged her energy core directly.

Even so, Adam’s high-energy beam grazed past her chest, slicing open the protective plating under her skin, leaving a scorch mark on the energy core.

This wasn’t a fatal wound, but it did disrupt the circuit balance within her to some extent, causing the massive energy flow to rampage wildly, making the black flames on her body flicker unpredictably.

Dongdong quickly pulled away, standing firm and staring at Adam incredulously.

How could this be...

Previously, she admitted being outclassed when they were exchanging blows.

But even at such full-throttle speed, Adam could easily find her weaknesses and counterattack with absolute precision...

How is that possible?!

It’s no longer a question of martial skill proficiency.

Silently, Dongdong realized something was amiss.

There’s something wrong with Adam.

He possesses some kind of special power.

Adam stood amidst the pervasive frost and snow, his mechanical cybernetic eyes reflecting an arc of light, coldly saying, "Stop wasting your energy. You can’t beat me."

He extinguished the high-energy beam and pointed at his temple, "Because from the start, the one fighting you isn’t me, but the ’Martial God Chip’ within me."

"Martial God Chip..." Dongdong muttered.

Adam calmly said, "I possess a special chip inside me designed to record various martial arts knowledge. From traditional ancient martial arts of the old era to the various new martial arts of the Dawn Era, every move and technique is recorded in it."

"You martial artists need to train for years to master a martial art to a certain level before there’s a chance of fully comprehending it."

"I’m different. To master a martial art, I only need to glance at its books and record it in the Martial God Chip. It automatically deduces all derivative skills and can fully master them within seconds."

"And in battle, for any attack the enemy uses, the Martial God Chip automatically calculates the optimal solution, controlling my body to respond."

At this point, a glint of coldness flashed through Adam’s eyes, as he sinisterly smiled, "Do you know why I read martial arts manuals? Because every book I read becomes part of the Martial God Chip."

"Every martial skill humanity has ever created, no matter which era it hails from or who invented it, is stored in the Martial God Chip for my use."

"Even the greatest martial artists in history, in front of someone who has mastered all martial arts like me, are nothing more than toddlers learning to walk."

"This Martial God Chip, which fuses all martial arts, can handle any situation, and combined with the hard strength brought by a fully replaced Apocalypse Level 1 Artificial Body, no one can break through my defense; it’s impossible for anyone to even harm a hair on my head."

"I am invincible."

After hearing this, Dongdong couldn’t help but curse, "Damn, is this fun for you? Relying solely on a chip, you’ve taken all the joy out of martial arts."

Adam sneered, "You’re such a child, talking to me about joy. Martial arts is essentially a purely utilitarian thing; its only reason for being is to make people stronger, nothing more."

Dongdong retorted, "So, you can’t even be considered a person; you’re just a humanoid machine controlled by a chip."

She adjusted her stance again, and the black flames from the five-gear overload began to surge mightily once more.

"In that case, I cannot lose to you."

"From now on, it’s a matter of principle. I will prove to you that relying on a chip to use martial arts is completely desecrating the word ’Martial Arts’."

With that, as the energy core roared to life explosively, Dongdong attacked Adam again, tearing through the space between them in an instant, aiming directly at his base.

Adam sneered disdainfully, once again stepping several subtle paces, dodging Dongdong’s attack with absolute precision.

Dongdong quickly altered her moves, sacrificing some force to change her attack path midway, continuing her deadly assault without giving Adam any chance to breathe.

But it was all futile, as if what Adam said were true, he was invincible.

Faced with Dongdong’s storm-like offensive, Adam’s expression remained unchanged from start to finish, only that contemptuous smirk, always perfectly dodging her attacks, neither wasting energy by dodging too far, nor getting caught by residual force due to insufficient dodging distance.

Perfect.

Only perfection.

After dodging the last strike of Dongdong’s combo, Adam said coldly, "Had enough? Now it’s my turn."

The sharp sound of air tearing echoed, accompanied by a howling gust as Adam’s hand, wrapped in a destructive beam, weaved a serpentine arc like a viper, accurately pinpointing a flaw in Dongdong’s movement, piercing through her stance in an instant.

The cold current tore through the black flames, drastically lowering the surrounding temperature. This strike not only completely bypassed Dongdong’s defense, but its attack route perfectly locked onto the body’s central axis, leaving her nowhere to evade.

"Break!" With a shout, Adam’s fingertip once again broke through Dongdong’s subcutaneous artificial body protective plating, leaving a deep scar on the energy core.

Sparks of malfunction appeared all over Dongdong’s body, but she gritted her teeth, using her strong control over her artificial body to forcibly stabilize the chaotic energy flow, her speed climbing rapidly, pulling out nearly a hundred afterimages around Adam, almost forming an impenetrable black wall.

"Boom boom boom boom boom——" Her frenzied strikes pounded toward Adam from all directions, throwing out hundreds or thousands of punches per second, with the immense gust rapidly sweeping across, toppling all the Giant Warriors and constructs on the battlefield, even the massive Titan Mecha could not withstand the wind pressure and collapsed with a crash.

As terrifying as this assault was, in front of Adam’s Martial God Chip, which carried all martial skills and moves, every punch was seen through, and there was no way to break through his defense.

Adam seemed tired of this tedious battle, directly switching the Martial God Chip from "defensive counter mode" to "active attack mode."

Taking advantage of the moment when Dongdong attacked and hadn’t had time to retract, his body flashed like lightning over Dongdong’s head, delivering an explosive force punch to her rear heart area.

Dongdong, hit hard, tumbled to the ground. Her energy core fell into instability due to the severe impact, and the black flames from the five-gear overload nearly vanished.

She hadn’t even had a chance to get up, and Adam had already stomped her head into the ground with one foot.

The mocking and disdainful sneer came from above, "Shorty, is this all you got?"
