Before she finished speaking, she abruptly adjusted the angle of the multi-frequency sonic cannon she was carrying on her shoulder.
逢！
An invisible but extremely concentrated high-frequency sound wave beam shot out instantly, not targeting the ears but acting directly on the mecha itself.
Ran Bing's mecha instantly sounded a piercing alarm.
[Warning: Ultra-high frequency resonance attack detected; external armor integrity compromised.]
Some external sensors are malfunctioning...
Ran Bing felt the entire mecha trembling violently, as if countless invisible files were frantically scraping the surface of her armor. The data stream in front of the V-shaped eyepiece even experienced a momentary disruption!
"defense!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ran Bing's left arm instantly deployed the [Ice Crystal Cannon Shield], and a huge energy field shield radiating a chilling aura instantly formed in front of her.
The high-frequency sound beam slammed into the ice crystal force field, causing the surface of the force field to ripple violently, like cracks in ice, emitting a sharp hissing sound similar to glass being squeezed to its limit.
A large amount of energy was rapidly consumed, but it was managed to block this deadly, invisible attack.
"Oh? Nice toy shield!"
The siren frowned slightly, then let out a maniacal shriek, "Then try this!"
Wide-area oscillation!
She instantly switched the mode of her shoulder cannon and launched another attack.
Boom!
A deep, muffled, low-frequency bang suddenly erupted. This time, it was no longer a focused attack, but a fan-shaped area attack covering most of the platform.
This was not sound, but pure, destructive physical vibration.
Even though Ran Bing had an ice crystal shield that blocked most of the frontal impact, she still felt as if she had been hit hard by an invisible giant hammer. The mecha slid backward uncontrollably for several meters, and the metal deck beneath her feet cracked inch by inch.
Ran Bing felt a churning sensation in her internal organs, and she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. The low-frequency resonance penetrated her defenses and actually affected her body.
"Uh!"
Ran Bing grunted, forcibly suppressing her discomfort, "Floating Cannons, Barrier Mode!"
The base on her back opened, and four floating units instantly flew out, quickly forming a more condensed triangular [ice crystal field] in front of her, overlapping with the main shield for double-layered defense.
The siren screamed and its attacks became even more frenzied.
The alternating use of high-frequency cutting and low-frequency oscillation, along with the throwing of sonic grenades, created shockwaves that continuously depleted Ranbing's energy outside the ice crystal field.
Ran Bing fought and retreated, rapidly calculating the opponent's attack patterns and timing through her V-shaped goggles.
Although her mecha was powerful, the opponent's attacks were invisible and intangible, extremely tricky, and specifically designed to counter technological creations that relied on precision instruments. Moreover, it was completely immune to its own sonic countermeasures.
In the long run, the energy will be depleted.
"I must get close, or... find an opportunity to kill them with one blow!"
Ran Bing made a calm assessment, but the siren clearly knew her own weakness and maintained her distance at all times.
Suddenly, the siren stopped its sonic cannon attack, and the mouth-mounted transmitter under its helmet aimed at Ran Bing, emitting an extremely eerie, hoarse whisper that seemed to drill directly into her mind:
"Confront your inner fears..."
A spiritual tsunami!
This was not a physical attack, but rather a direct strike to consciousness. Ran Bing's mecha defense and force field were almost ineffective against it.
In an instant, Ran Bing felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over her, and countless negative emotions and fearful hallucinations flooded her mind.
A broken lighthouse.
My departed companion.
Mark is dead.
A wave of despair washed over her, causing the mecha's movements to freeze for a moment.
"It's now!"
The siren's shoulder cannons are charging up again, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
But in that instant, Ran Bing's eyes, hidden behind her tear-streaked mask, suddenly cleared. The intelligent AI and mental resistance mechanism of the [Frost Oath Guardian] kicked in, forcibly stabilizing her stream of consciousness.
"My will... how could you possibly sway it..."
Ran Bing's voice was colder and more resolute than ever before, "Die!"
To the siren's astonishment, Ran Bing made an unexpected move. Instead of retreating, she abruptly dispersed the ice crystal main shield in front of her, and at the same time, the four floating cannons instantly changed mode.
"Floating cannon, sniper mode, synchronized consciousness, lock onto the enemy's launcher core."
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Ran Bing watched as four extremely concentrated freezing rays, like icy blue spears of judgment, shot towards the siren from four angles in an instant. Their precision and suddenness far exceeded the siren's expectations.
The siren screamed as she dodged and tried to intercept the beams with her sonic waves, but it was too late. She hastily deflected two freezing rays with her sonic waves, but the other two accurately hit the energy interface of the sonic cannon on her shoulder and the sound-emitting structure on the side of her helmet!
Chapter 103 You Idiot
"Snap, snap!!"
A chilling freezing sound rang out.
The siren's sonic cannon was instantly covered by a thick layer of solid ice, and its internal structure collapsed and failed under the extreme cold.
Her helmet was also partially frozen, and the shriek it emitted turned into a terrible cacophony.
"Do not!!!"
The siren cried out in terror; her main weapon was almost rendered useless.
Meanwhile, Ran Bing, while dispersing the main shield and directing the floating cannons to attack, had already begun the final charge.
With his foot thrusters fully activated, his right hand gripped the handle of the [Ice Crystal Cannon Shield], which had been transformed from the main shield and taken from his back. At this moment, the cannon muzzle in the center of the shield had popped out, emitting a deadly, eerie blue light.
"it's over!"
Eternal frost... descends!
Ran Bing pressed the muzzle of the ice crystal cannon almost against the siren, whose movements were stiffened by the destruction of her weapon, and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
It wasn't a massive explosion, but rather a seemingly inconspicuous dark blue freezing bomb that pierced directly into the Siren's bio-armor.
moment……
Centered on the siren, a terrifying absolute zero cold wave erupted.
The siren's terrified expression froze instantly; her armor, her body, and everything around her were completely frozen in a fraction of a second.
Suddenly, a grotesque ice sculpture appeared, remaining in its final pose, standing on the platform.
All life activities inside ceased instantly, even thought was frozen.
Amidst the pervasive cold mist, Ran Bing stood before the ice sculpture, slightly out of breath.
The Frostsworn Guardian's armor was also covered with a layer of frost. Some parts were sparking with tiny electrical sparks due to overload and the previous sonic attack. The nano-storage was repairing the damage from the previous battle, especially the final mental shock and desperate counterattack.
She looked at the ice sculpture before her; the light from her V-shaped goggles remained cold.
"The noise... has disappeared."
Ran Bing turned away, no longer looking at the eternally frozen artwork, and turned her gaze to the still chaotic battlefield below, preparing to rush to the next place that needed support.
……
The Lighthouse Space Command Center, once a busy and orderly nerve center, is now shrouded in oppressive fear.
At the control panel, Jing Nan and several other astronauts were pale-faced. They dared not make any rash moves because several astronauts on the ground had already died.
Tide, the vice-captain of the Raging Waves Squad, was strolling leisurely.
His deep blue bio-armor with white wave patterns gleamed coldly under the lights of the command room. The flowing blue light goggles under his crown-shaped helmet swept across the control panel filled with complex buttons and screens, finally settling on Jing Nan's stubborn and beautiful face.
He gently tapped the ground with the Scepter of the Wrath of the Sea God in his hand, the huge blue energy crystal at its top emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.
"I'll ask one last time."
Tide's voice came through the mask, carrying a teasing tone like a cat playing with a mouse, "What's the unlock password for the Lighthouse's main electromagnetic cannon? Don't test my patience, little girl, you tell me."
Jing Nan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "I have certain operational permissions, but the highest weapon permissions require personal authorization from City Lord Chen Yuan. I don't have permission to activate it directly."
"Ah…"
Tide gave a cold smile, raised his scepter to condense icy water vapor, and gently brushed it across Jingnan's cheek, making her shiver.
"Impossible, your excuse is too lame. Listen to me, do it right now, don't force me... I'll take care of you right now in front of these colleagues of yours."
His words were full of blatant threats, without any attempt at concealment.
Upon hearing this, Jingnan felt a wave of humiliation and resentment, but she still forced herself to remain composed: "What I said is true."
Just then, a calm, monotone electronic voice suddenly rang out in the command room, echoing in every corner.
“Miss Jingnan is right. The highest command key for the ultra-high-power electromagnetic railgun has not been granted to the navigation control seat. Her authority level is not high enough to execute the operation.”
Tide suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze sweeping around before finally locking onto an inconspicuous interface above the main control panel, where a blue light was flickering faintly.
"Who's speaking? Hmm, could it be you?"
He was slightly surprised that the control core of the lighthouse actually contained an intelligent entity with its own consciousness.
"You can call me 'Loongson,' now the central processing and decision-making support super-intelligent optical brain of Lighthouse."
Loongson's electronic voice answered calmly.
"Super intelligence?"
Tide's surprise turned into interest. "That's perfect, saves me the trouble of talking nonsense. Unlock my access immediately, or I won't hesitate to turn this place into ruins. You should understand the meaning of destruction, right?"
Loongson's voice remained completely emotionless, even carrying a slightly educational tone:
“Sir, even if you destroy this place, I cannot achieve your goal, because I am essentially a complex set of algorithms and data streams, existing within the core data network of the Lighthouse, and lack the ability to directly interfere with physical access nodes.”
"Furthermore, logically speaking, the threat of violence is inefficient for a virtual consciousness. In addition, based on the current situation, I must point out that our conversation is essentially part of a tactical delaying strategy..."
