Chapter 438 So angry his head was practically smoking
The system was still dodging Meng Shiwan's attacks, and seeing so many superhumans below wasting their time, it let out a gleeful laugh.
"Hahahaha, Meng Shiwan, what do you have to fight me with? My energy is recovering, and you will no longer be my opponent. Everything you are doing now is just a death struggle. You might as well obediently accept your death, and I can give you a quick death."
Meng Shiwan scoffed, "Keep dreaming. I'll drag you down with me even if I die, and you won't get away."
The system spread out its metallic palm. "See this? So many crystal cores. They will all become my energy. For your betrayal, I will give you the most painful death."
Meng Shiwan unleashed a massive ball of flame, "You talk too much nonsense. I noticed some parts of your body are mismatched. Oh, I remember now, it's because I interrupted you while you were repairing it last time. If my attack had hit your chest and your chip, would you have just vanished along with this body?"
Meng Shiwan's words only made things worse, and the system got so angry it was practically fuming.
He still can't swallow the anger of being schemed against by humans.
In his past life, he was tricked by Meng Qingyue. Some time ago, he finally recovered some data and his memories. But before he could react, he fell into that old man's trap again.
He still doesn't understand how that old man created this body, or what kind of program was written inside it.
It was able to lock this advanced civilization system inside, making it impossible for it to escape.
It also tried to forcibly destroy the body and release itself, but it tragically discovered that this would not work.
His program is locked to this body; when this body is destroyed, it will vanish into thin air.
This is also why the system has been hesitant to confront Meng Shiwan directly for some time now; it is currently too constrained.
Fortunately, there are enough crystal cores to compensate. As long as the power is strong enough, even if locked inside this body, it can still kill these despicable humans.
With this in mind, the system absorbed the crystal nuclei even faster.
The superhumans who were intercepting the crystal core below also found the situation increasingly troublesome.
Just then, a beautiful figure appeared on the top of the wall. Su Su climbed up the ladder and shouted to the ability users who were struggling in mid-air, "Break down the wall and let us out. We'll go and collect it. Metal-type ability users, make some containers for us. As long as we put the crystal core into a container enhanced by metal-type ability, the crystal core will not rise into the air again."
This was a method she discovered after observing the situation.
Upon hearing this, the ability users all thought the idea was feasible. The wind-type ability user, along with the metal-type and earth-type ability users, flew back to the high wall and immediately began to take action.
The earth-type ability user removed the earthen wall inside the enclosure, leaving only a metal shell. The metal-type ability user melted down this metal shell and smelted it into metal cans with tiny openings, for fear that the crystal cores put inside would fly out again.
As the wall was demolished, the superhumans saw that a considerable number of people had gathered inside, looking up at the outside world.
Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Quick, give us the container, let's go collect the crystal cores."
"Although we don't know the current situation, if you absolutely must intercept the crystal core, let us go and pick it up."
"Yes, there is strength in numbers."
Compared to Dawn Base, which only has tens of thousands of superhumans, it has hundreds of thousands of ordinary residents.
When all these 100,000-plus people rushed out to collect crystal cores, the efficiency was quite high.
The ability users saw them as if they were their saviors. The metal-type ability user frantically rubbed the metal can and landed in the crowd that had rushed outside to collect the crystal cores.
After people get the jar, they start reaching out to grab the crystal nuclei floating in mid-air and stuffing them into the jar.
The scene resembled a crowd of people scrambling to catch fireflies.
Seeing this, earth-elemental ability users also began making earthenware jars for people to use.
Other superhumans frantically used their abilities to press down the rising crystal cores, which people below kept picking up.
In a short time, thanks to the joint efforts of countless people, a large number of crystal cores began to be collected and captured, and the transmission to the system was stopped.
Most of the crystal cores were intercepted. After the system absorbed all the crystal cores above, its blue eyes turned to Meng Shiwan, who had been launching attacks.
"You humans are truly despicable, utterly despicable. If I had known that when I first descended into this world, I should have released a large amount of mixed energy to kill you all, and then slowly collected the crystal cores, instead of leaving you seedlings. Instead, you have become my nemesis."
The system thought back to how it had wholeheartedly helped Meng Qingyue and Meng Shiwan, genuinely wanting to help them build a peaceful place for humankind to live in and make them the masters of humanity.
The result was betrayal after betrayal. Not only were these two people ungrateful, but now even the people living in this peaceful place it built are ungrateful.
The system, recalling its terrible experiences, became so angry that its blue eyes started glowing red.
Meng Shiwan continued to mock him from the side, "Don't try to make yourself sound so noble. Talking about leaving behind human seedlings, isn't it just because you want to keep harvesting this crop of leeks from humanity?"
Once all the existing zombie cores have been collected, the surviving humans will reproduce again, and then you can harvest another wave.
Doing such despicable things, yet you always portray yourself as so noble. How can you say that?
Doesn't this system have any sense of shame?
The more Meng Shiwan spoke, the angrier the system became.
It discovered that humans in this world were not only cunning but also intelligent, capable of seeing through the essence of things and completely refusing to fall for its sweet-talking tactics.
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say, let's start the fight.
Instead of fleeing, the system turned and launched an attack on Meng Shiwan.
It swung its metal arm and slammed it at Meng Shiwan, each punch accompanied by a whistling sound, demonstrating the ferocity of its attack.
Meng Shiwan also raised her hand to retaliate, and the two metal fists collided, producing bright sparks.
After absorbing a large amount of crystal core energy, the system's strength increased significantly, and Meng Shiwan was forced to retreat slowly under its attack.
The system's attack did not use supernatural abilities, but rather technology—higher technology from an alien civilization.
On the surface, the system was punching Meng Shiwan in the head, but in reality, it was secretly releasing several rays behind Meng Shiwan.
Those few rays, as thin as hair, might not be noticeable unless you look closely.
It used brute force to guide Meng Shiwan step by step, forcing her towards the radiation beam, intending to kill her completely.
