With a punch, though not Bai Qi’s full strength, the force was still beyond what ordinary people could withstand. The result was that Savage’s shield, used for defense, became severely deformed. However, Savage himself, beneath it, was completely unharmed.
Following that, the deformed shield changed shape, reforming into an iron claw. It grabbed Bai Qi’s body while the thrusters suddenly activated, pushing Bai Qi over ten meters away. Savage also used this time to get up from the ground.
Roar!
With a surge from his legs, Bai Qi easily blocked the advancing iron claw. He grabbed the iron claw with both hands and tore, easily ripping it into two sections. He casually tossed the two pieces of the iron claw onto the ground. Drawing energy from his dan tian, scorching dragon’s breath erupted towards Savage.
“Holy crap, he’s serious.”
Feeling the intense dragon’s breath, the artificial intelligence within the battle suit was frantically issuing warnings to Savage. In contrast, Savage remained as unmoving as a mountain.
As the dragon’s breath drew closer, Savage finally made a move.
The armor on Savage’s body rapidly underwent changes. The metal chest plate on his chest spread out, and the energy core in the center began to rotate in reverse. Su Lan Novel Network.
Next, Savage gritted his teeth and made the boldest decision of his life: to directly withstand Bai Qi’s dragon’s breath.
Savage held his hands forward, meeting the incoming dragon’s breath head-on. The high temperature scorched the armor but showed no signs of melting. The energy core in his chest whirred at high speed, as if it were about to break down from overload at any moment.
Inside the battle suit.
“Energy reserve 100%... 115%... 154%... 212%...”
Bai Qi’s dragon’s breath was indeed terrifying, but in the end, it was still a form of energy usage. What Savage was doing was converting the dragon’s breath into energy and storing it within the battle suit at an extremely rapid pace through precise calculations and scientific technology.
It could be said that as long as the calculation speed could keep up, Savage could completely convert all of Bai Qi’s dragon’s breath into stored energy.
However, he had underestimated the power of the dragon’s breath and overestimated the battle suit’s carrying capacity.
In just a few seconds, the battle suit’s energy reserve had exceeded 200%, and this number was still climbing. If this continued, his ultimate outcome would be an explosion due to energy reserve overload.
What Savage needed to do most now was to quickly release the energy within the battle suit.
Savage engaged his leg thrusters at maximum power, suddenly ascending into the air. Then, four crystal plates unfolded from his back, and along with the energy core on his chest and the pulse cannons in his palms, they unleashed a terrifying energy pulse towards Bai Qi simultaneously.
At this moment, Bai Qi’s mind was still somewhat unclear, and his reactions were much slower than usual.
By the time Bai Qi reacted and looked up at the sky, the pulse tide had already descended like a mountainous tsunami, engulfing him in an instant.
“This should give him something to chew on this time,” Savage thought to himself, landing back on the ground after completing the energy discharge and looking towards the direction where dust was flying.
This energy discharge had consumed ninety percent of the armor’s energy. If it couldn’t inflict any damage on the Holy Lord this time, he would have to make a run for it.
As the smoke and dust dispersed, a gap had been blasted open in front of Bai Qi, and there were scorch marks from high temperatures on multiple parts of his body. It was evident that Savage’s energy discharge had caused some damage to Bai Qi. However, this level of damage was completely repaired in less than two seconds.
“Damn it.”
Seeing Bai Qi’s injuries completely healed, and then looking at his own depleted energy reserves, Savage was so angry he gnashed his teeth.
“As expected, this level of attack is still too weak to deal with this guy.”
However, Bai Qi showed no intention of continuing his attack. Instead, he pushed off the ground with his legs and swiftly left the battlefield, disappearing from Savage’s sight.
Bai Qi’s sudden departure was a reprieve for Savage. Otherwise, if the fight continued, Savage, lacking energy supply, would have been nothing more than a metal can. As long as Bai Qi didn’t use attacks like dragon’s breath for Savage to absorb energy from, he could smash Savage to pieces with just a few physical blows.
Of course, as an old monster who had lived for an unknown amount of time, it was impossible for him not to have a few backup defenses. But no matter what those backups were, they could not alter Savage’s inevitable defeat.
Looking in the direction Bai Qi had disappeared, Savage’s thoughts drifted.
Not long ago, the Shadow Alliance had kidnapped a female doctor who researched nanomachines. After a period of research, the doctor successfully created a swarm of super-nanorobots called “Bug Mist.”
With their extremely small size, they had the ability to infiltrate target hosts and steal information. Using the Bug Mist, the Shadow Alliance easily took down Star Labs, absorbed all of its scientific and technical data, and then set their sights on the mainframe of the Wayne Building.
Before the Bug Mist could act, the members of the Teen Titans rescued the female doctor and developed a network virus targeting the Bug Mist, completely defeating it.
However, calling it a complete defeat was a bit of an exaggeration. The virus targeting the Bug Mist was not entirely undefendable, but with the Shadow Alliance’s strength, it was very difficult to find a targeted solution. And even if they found one, the opposing side could develop an even stronger virus.
Wasting too much time and energy on a technological achievement was not cost-effective. After weighing the pros and cons, the Shadow Alliance abandoned the Bug Mist as a technological achievement, especially since it wasn't a technology they had developed themselves. The only cost was the two black cars used during the kidnapping of the female doctor.
Furthermore, the benefits gained from devouring Star Labs had made the Shadow Alliance quite prosperous.
It was precisely because of this that Savage was able to acquire the Bug Mist so easily with just a word. Then, through the technology he possessed, he created the current super-nanorobot battle suit.
Every inch of the battle suit was made up of a large number of super-nanorobots connected to each other, with the energy core in the chest providing unified power.
The most significant feature of this battle suit was that the super-nanorobots on its body could reconfigure themselves to form various weapons and equipment, such as the explosive heavy hammer seen earlier, the energy pulse-emitting light panels, and the ubiquitous thrusters.
But these were not the battle suit’s greatest features, or rather, they were greatly limited by opponents like Bai Qi, who were of the magic type. If the opponent were also technologically oriented, the super-nanorobots could exert their maximum effect.
Not only could they damage the enemy’s technological weapons, but they could also seize the opponent’s weapons through reconfiguration and connection, turning them into their own.
Alas, their opponent this time was Bai Qi. His attack methods, apart from basic physical output, were all magical attacks. Apart from being able to absorb some energy, he couldn’t steal anything else.
