Ever since Su Chen obtained the advanced Ghost Patterns fusion technique, no Super Soldier had been willing to use it. It was inevitable because once the advanced Ghost Patterns fused, peculiar patterns would appear on their faces, something several females couldn't tolerate. It was a well-known fact that women loved beauty, and Su Chen had learned that firsthand. However, they also said that if Su Chen ordered them to accept it, they wouldn't refuse. Of course, Su Chen wouldn't do such a thing. The main reason was that he also found Ghost Patterns quite ugly. This time, Yun Ru's intention was primarily to see what changes would occur when Spectral Moth used advanced Ghost Patterns. Spectral Moth didn't object, and the fusion of Ghost Patterns quickly began.
The fusion process was quite simple, merely injecting the liquid from a syringe slowly into its body. Ghost Patterns, in essence, were a type of virus, albeit a highly unique one. After the injection, faint black patterns emerged on Spectral Moth's body surface, which darkened over time. Eventually, Spectral Moth's body surface seemed as if it were frozen, covered in numerous Ghost Patterns, giving the initially cute Spectral Moth a somewhat sinister aura.
"Spectral Moth, how do you feel?"
"Better than ever before. I can sense that my body has become several times stronger," Spectral Moth exclaimed excitedly.
"Commander, I'm ready to go."
Just as Spectral Moth was preparing to leave, Su Chen raised his hand and said, "Wait, take something with you."
The next moment, a massive figure appeared nearby, causing the ground to seem as though it had sunken.
"Is this... Base's new weapon?" Several Super Soldiers were surprised and delighted when they saw the object. It cast an enormous shadow, possessed massive energy weapons, and had three bodies and faces facing different directions, with three legs supporting its massive frame. It was none other than General Executioner, a reward Su Chen had recently obtained through a ten-pull gacha.
"It looks pretty formidable," Natasha squinted her eyes.
A mighty Cosmic Behemoth originally meant to confront the Matricide Beetle on the battlefield suddenly became a transporter. Spectral Moth was probably stunned by the order, but it couldn't oppose the Commander's command. It could only enlarge its size and slowly fly toward the location where Matricide Beetle was.
Su Chen still had some expectations for General Executioner since it was an exceptionally powerful weapon unique to the Red Alert universe. According to the System's description, its power was no less than that of the original Superweapon. Keep in mind that when the Superweapon was first constructed, it could eliminate eighth-order Mutant Beasts. With General Executioner obtained through a ten-pull gacha, its strength had received the highest boost. Just how powerful it was, Su Chen himself didn't know.
Su Chen's gaze remained fixed on the screen, where Matricide Beetle was still devouring various weapons left by the Red Alert army. At that moment, it was gnawing on an Apocalypse Tank's body.
In the moment Su Chen uttered these words, all the seemingly dormant Red Alert Weapons instantaneously launched their Cannon fire, targeting the Matricide Beetle.
Su Chen was employing unmanned control mode, something he rarely did since he had sufficient subordinates to do his bidding.
After all, staying there would only have meant becoming a meal for the Matricide Beetle, so Su Chen decided to give it a run for its money.
Sure enough, the Matricide Beetle realized that its intended meal was attempting to resist. It emitted a sharp cry, and in an instant, the screen showed fluctuations, flickering a few times, after which those Weapons became paralyzed.
"Was that... an Electromagnetic Pulse?" Su Chen blinked.
"According to the data analysis, it should indeed be an Electromagnetic Pulse. I didn't expect the Matricide Beetle to possess such an ability. If not for the Commander's actions, we probably wouldn't have known," Yun Ru said, her gaze toward Su Chen carrying a hint of admiration.
Su Chen cleared his throat. Of course, he wouldn't admit that it was just a lucky guess.
"Yes, I was intentionally testing it. I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable to probing, even revealing its second ability. Fortunately, we didn't send a large number of Weapons over."
Electromagnetic Pulse was the bane of electronic forces, rendering most factions powerless against it.
"Do we have any means in the Base to counter Electromagnetic Pulse?" Su Chen asked.
Initially, it was just a casual question, but to his surprise, Yun Ru responded, "Commander, have you forgotten who I am? I'm the Chief Scientist of Red Alert Base, and in my mind, I have access to a lot of technology, including Electromagnetic Pulse technology."
Su Chen suddenly recalled that Yun Ru had access to all the technology from her various allegiances, which, given the game's background, included several factions. This meant she possessed a wide range of technologies.
Even the Centurion Siege Mech that Su Chen had once obtained through a lottery draw was a technology within Yun Ru's mind. If Su Chen hadn't drawn it, Yun Ru would have eventually developed it.
"Don't worry about Electromagnetic Pulse. It only affects electronic forces, not Spectral Moth. My concern is... whether General Executioner can withstand Electromagnetic Pulse." Yun Ru furrowed her brow.
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled, "Originally, it couldn't, but now, that's not a problem."
The original General Executioner was susceptible to magnetic storm powers but immune to Electromagnetic Pulse. However, after Su Chen obtained it through a lottery, it had been enhanced with a new ability: immunity to any Electromagnetic Pulse.
Once the Matricide Beetle's sole means of attack was nullified, it would face relentless onslaught.
Spectral Moth was incredibly fast, even with the burden of General Executioner, which weighed as much as a towering skyscraper. This fact made Su Chen marvel at the true power of the Cosmic Behemoth.
When Spectral Moth arrived above the ice cavern, the Matricide Beetle had already nearly devoured the Red Alert Weapons. It then turned its gaze upward.
Seeing the enemy, General Executioner descended from the sky, landing heavily on the Matricide Beetle. Two colossal beings began their battle within the ice cavern.
I thought I was the protagonist here; this guy's stealing the spotlight!
Spectral Moth hesitated for a moment, not expecting General Executioner to be so reckless, charging in headfirst.
General Executioner was just a weapon, devoid of thoughts, merely carrying out the Commander's orders: "Eliminate the Matricide Beetle!" (To be continued...)
