"Dimon, you actually became so much harder to deal with after death!"
When he had fought the Lion-faced Man, Lu Ping’an actually had it easy.
His flame attribute was simply a deathblow to that "Life form Insect Swarm," and those scattered flying insects were merely targets for a mass kill, but now...
"... The Holy Fire is actually ineffective?!"
Lu Ping’an, who threw out the ring of fire, could only choose to retreat again.
The ten "Dimons" were fighting when they suddenly transformed into a swarm of Crystal flying insects, and the flames that had been highly effective for Lu Ping’an before, this time, did not achieve any effect.
"She adapted."
"As expected.
The Arona Crystal Beasts are naturally mimetic and evolving creatures, with ’overcoming weakness’ as an instinct.
Once they encounter a certain natural predator or disaster, they use a large number of losers to probe and die, iterating into an immunity or a counteracting ’attribute.’
When applied to Eve’s performance, it’s the contribution of a special energy, an Abnormal Ability; if she endures it, after a while, she will gain a high resistance if not immunity.
And frustratingly, this resistance can be replicated in every Creation of hers."
’Fragment.’
Accompanying the girl’s roar, each of those approaching "Dimons" actively chose to "disperse."
The splashing fragments brought considerable physical damage, each one’s power likely not inferior to a Mortar.
But this time, Lu Ping’an just calmly punched.
One punch, two punches, and he shattered all the incoming flying Crystals... then discarded them all, avoiding their penetration into his flesh.
Fighting to this point, Lu Ping’an had evolved from a novice Fighter to a real Fourth Order Fighter or above.
He steadily "accelerated" his response, and catching bullets with bare hands was only basic for a Fighter of this caliber.
With each shattered fragment, Lu Ping’an did not forget to add a touch of Holy Fire as he discarded them.
On one hand, to prevent his own "genetic material" from leaking out and being evolved into some targeted venom or troop type, and on the other hand, to test the effect his Holy Fire still had on these fragments.
"This is bad..."
Biomatter innately ignites easily, while metal and silicon-based life are not flammable, Lu Ping’an’s "ignition contamination" Holy Fire not only had its high-temperature flame properties resisted, even the purification aspect was evaded by this strange Crystal.
"... The flame directly disintegrates before reaching the core, a biological level of firebreak?"
Realizing the truth of this "resistance," Lu Ping’an pondered for a moment, but could only helplessly shake his head.
If one could really achieve level-wise "Body control," his flames mostly just scorched the surface, which was simply not worth it.
With a wave of her hand, Eve summoned ten more Fighters to stand out.
Unlike the ten identical Dimons, most of this new group was different from one another, but they seemed familiar, perhaps the losers from this festival.
And these different individuals charged at Lu Ping’an without hesitation.
"That’s just too much."
Lu Ping’an tried to retreat again, but it seemed to be too late.
He could only take a deep breath in resignation.
With a snap of his fingers, a semi-transparent spirit body materialized, "She" was indistinct in appearance, but possessed a beautiful and slender figure, like a Dancer.
"Circular Dance."
Calm words commanded the unspeaking Spirit Ghost to shout out the name of the technique.
Another Fighter, the "Chinese-style Spirit Ghost," turned its body into a blade, revolving around Lu Ping’an as the center, displaying the Waltz of Sharp Blades.
The high-speed blades harvested back and forth, yet Lu Ping’an calmly observed everything in front of him, even though "she" was like a doll in his hands, every step under his control.
Unlike the stiff usage before, through a path of real combat, Lu Ping’an had accumulated too much experience in "using the body" for fighting.
From the limbs of exoskeletons, the limbs covered in Tentacles, to the arms of a massive "Gao Da," Lu Ping’an had become accustomed to "controlling," and even more so to using a body that was not so familiar to him.
The Spirit Ghost’s strength weakened rapidly after its appearance, but in that initial burst of emergence, it was clearly at its strongest and most dazzling moment.
As the lethal light from the blade harvested back and forth, by the time the Spirit Ghost tipped its hat in a low bow and then vanished, there were only pieces of Crystal fragments on the ground.
"This... mine..."
The nearly identical abilities caused Eve to hesitate for a moment.
But she quickly perceived the fundamental difference.
"A spirit body? A mental entity? Did... did that person successfully experiment? On the basis of my Materialized Clone, they developed a Spiritual Power Clone?"
The girl’s hesitating words were met with nothing but Lu Ping’an’s silence.
She fell silent for a moment, then without hesitation, called forth more "grand armies."
In reality, Lu Ping’an was just eagerly questioning the informed person...
"Initially, there indeed was such a project, but it was too far-fetched. Besides, I had too many projects going on, so I don’t remember... It might have been just a cover project, an excuse for not operating on them."
Such an answer seemed indeed inadequate to make clear to Eve.
But at this moment, essentially different yet similar abilities were clashing with each other.
The "Aliens" that came out slapping their bellies, with a gentle slap on the ground, sent a herd of Crystal Beasts soaring into the sky, and as another batch of Combat Series Crystal Fighters joined the battlefield, the rampaging wildcats had already torn apart everything in front of them.
Worth mentioning is that among the "2-tier Spirit Ghosts" in Lu Ping’an’s hand, the strongest was surprisingly Meow... and she was pure attack and Combat Series, taking the route of raw Basic Hardware Strength.
In the first round of probing, soldier faced soldier, general faced general, and king faced king.
Aside from expending some Spiritual Power, Lu Ping’an suffered no significant harm, while the Crystal fragments on the ground were just petty cash for Eve.
A snapping finger, and the shattered Crystals began to reconstitute.
This time, no human forms appeared but rather a series of bizarre Giants and Giant Beasts.
The mottled Crystal life forms turned into a swarm of War Beasts, and at the same time, the rapidly diminishing number of controls also reduced Eve’s operational difficulty, leaving her spare time to switch to battle retreat.
"Crystal... Mortar!"
At that moment, Lu Ping’an was completely dumbfounded.
Not far away, clusters of Crystal Beasts and Crystal Humans formed a Mortar team, with each Crystal Mortar taking aim at Lu Ping’an.
"This works?"
"Why wouldn’t it work? Compared to life forms, the cold machinery forms are easier to operate, right... But the former Eve couldn’t do it; she has improved."
Big Cat herself expressed her satisfaction inappropriately at this moment.
But it was too late to stop now; right in front of Lu Ping’an, a "Villainous Squadron" had completed its formation.
A multitude of "Crystal Soldiers" entered the battlefield, Mortal level "Life," yet they placed immense pressure on Lu Ping’an.
