Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 185: Gun Fighting Skill (Melee)


Saga of 'Twilight of the Gods' is not just the mythology of a planet; in fact, as long as the normal development of a carbon-based race takes place, totem culture, mythological tales, and folklore stories generally follow one after another.

During this process, 'Twilight of the Gods' is a storyline that happens with high probability.

And now, an artificial 'Twilight of the Gods' is being played out.

The 'Deity' walked outside the great hall, and saw that dense fog had already covered the entire 'Divine Domain', with the corpses of deities lying in the fog, the divine flames extinguishing, and the temples falling.

Amidst the fog, the sound of collisions echoed again and again; every metallic crash made the dense fog thicken, and gradually, a tall figure emerged from the mist, a mechanical knight.

Beneath the knight was a mechanical giant leopard.

From this giant leopard, the 'Deity' sensed a very familiar aura.

It was an aura of the same origin as himself.

Yet, this giant leopard crouched ingratiatingly beneath the other's crotch.

"Disgrace!"

"Oh, you can talk," Gao Gong spoke with interest, looking down.

The 'Deity's voice was hoarse, aged, yet carried a unique allure.

"I won't let you destroy the 'Asa Divine Domain'!"

"I will stop your Twilight of the Gods!"

"Only I can bring down the true Twilight of the Gods!"

With every word the 'Deity' uttered, the 'sky' darkened further, and the sky, land, and sea all turned to the color of fire cloud.

In Gao Gong's eyes, a torrent of data began to surge madly into the opponent's body.

"Powering up?"

The 'V' on Gao Gong's chest suddenly lit up brightly, as if his whole body had gained a hundredfold power, with at least 30 devil's patterns lighting up all over, and as his thoughts moved, four sound bursts rang out simultaneously within a second.

Gao Gong instantly appeared opposite the 'Deity', the giant spear pierced through the opponent's chest, and with a roar, the spear body carried the opponent and crashed into the throne formed by the motorcycle turntable.

The 'throne' shattered with a boom, and the deity, along with the steel chair back, was violently pinned against the wall.

Just that one move cost the opponent at least 5000 blood points.

The 'Deity's mouth opened, blood gushed out, and finally, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

This is a suffocating power!

However, to Gao Gong's surprise, the 'fire cloud' did not disappear, or rather, the data stream was still contracting frantically.

'Something's not right.'

As the thought turned, the mouth of the 'World-Devouring Serpent' shot out from Gao Gong's right eye, the blood-red mouth opened wide, biting fiercely on its own tail.

The Ouroboros formed.

Gao Gong's Tier 2 bloodline was being utilized to its limit, causing his skin to turn slightly blue.

The next moment, the Divine Domain, Main Divine Hall, and the fog all vanished.

The reverse gravity field beneath the 'Palace of the Sky' was rapidly contracting.

The entire grand hall seemed to be plummeting from the high sky.

Damn, did I get the script wrong?

Jumped from Thor 3 straight to Avengers 2.

'Luckily, it's me; if it were the minions, even if they managed to kill the deity, the spaceship core wouldn't have been salvaged.'

Gao Gong instantly appeared in front of Gilbert, grabbed his head, and the 'Reproductive Soldier Body' quickly returned to its original form, covering onto the giant leopard.

But this time it wasn't 'Leopard Warrior' transforming, the shape changed even more, the limbs tucked in, the tail retracted, and with the help of the Reproductive Soldier Body, countless mechanical parts started to reorganize, transforming into three pairs of wings.

The leopard's head also flipped into the abdomen, its mouth opened, and instead of a grenade launcher, a combined shipborne engine took its place, surrounded by circle after circle of devil jets, and at the leopard's head, the 'Carbon Ion Reactor' shone brightly.

The next moment, the 'Leopard Flying Device' quickly took shape, with the same 'Energy Engine', no less than Level 6, taking off silently, deftly turning in mid-air, and landing beneath the 'Palace of the Sky'. The next moment, the shipborne engine, carbon atom reactor, and energy nozzles simultaneously beamed radiance, and after a powerful metallic squeeze, the falling momentum of the hall suddenly stopped.

The 'Twilight of the Gods' also halted.

The 'Deity' looked at this scene incredulously, speechless for a long while.

Dragon Knight (Talent): As a special species with both an advanced mechanical body and an advanced organism, you can ride other advanced mechanical bodies to accomplish the large-scale transformation you require.

Note: Those who can be hidden or revealed, large or small, can create clouds and emit fog, and transform all things are called dragons, and those who exist above dragons are the Dragon Knights.

Gao Gong waved his hand, the Steel Banner Spear buzzed, and a moment later shrank back like lightning, gripped in his palm, transmitting a sense of bloodline connection.

[You have comprehended melee skill: Long Weapon Mastery]

This is the benefit of the 'Legendary Hunter' template, 100% weapon affinity.

For a moment, Gao Gong seemed to turn into an ancient spearman, with set after set of basic spear, spear, and staff skills becoming the most fundamental memories.

Gao Gong's wrist flicked, and the spear tip began to spin into a large circle, the 'Deity's gaze contracted, his figure pouncing sideways, leaving a line of spear holes in the wall.

'Not quite useful.'

The 'ordinary' level skills truly were quite awkward for Gao Gong at this point.

With a thought, he upgraded 'Long Weapon Mastery' from Level 1 to Level 9, and simultaneously invested a specialization point to advance it.

The advanced version of 'Long Weapon Mastery' added a state called Spear Force.

'God' immediately felt different. Even though it was the same move, just a slight touch would wrap around like a venomous snake, and the power clearly reached a new level.

'Still not great.'

Gao Gong advanced the skill from 'Advanced' to 'Elite'.

This time, three options appeared: one called 'Gathering Force Spear Technique', which increased explosive power; one called 'Flower Spear', an upgraded version of Step Battle Gun Technique; and another called 'Gun Fighting Skill (Close Combat)'.

This 'Gun Fighting Skill' is not the same as that 'Gun Fighting Skill'; it refers to a cold weapon application within the mechanical system.

Gao Gong chose the third option. With a thought, the 'Devil Jet' in his palm suddenly opened. Although the thrust was limited due to the lack of a reactor, under the enhancement of 'Gun Fighting Skill (Close Combat)', the power flowed seamlessly from forearm to wrist to fingers, matching perfectly with the sudden surge of strength.

The steel spear, as if capable of bending, made a near 180-degree turn. 'God', who had just escaped the spear circle, was caught off guard and the spear tip struck his cheek hard, audibly fracturing the facial bones.

Gao Gong was about to upgrade the skill to full level to see any additional states when a sense of alertness suddenly emerged within his heart. Without hesitation, he raised the banner spear in front of him.

The next moment, a force of gravity hit, causing Gao Gong to retreat three steps. Looking down, he found two deep gashes on his body, deep enough to see bone, and a massive scratch on the spear shaft.

Blood Volume dropped by 500 points.

"Damn, my spear is of 'Epic+' grade!"

Gao Gong immediately thought of the pitiful expression of Matsushima Keiko and that extremely intact 'Red Cherry Blossom' at its broken section.

"This feeling—Spatial Ability?!"

If true, Gao Gong wasn't sure if he was fortunate or unfortunate to encounter the most troublesome existence among abilities.

Moreover, this kind of 'aura' wasn't just one; Gao Gong sensed at least 20 similar 'God'-like auras being nurtured.

What made his expression even more peculiar was that, besides 'God's aura, he even felt his own aura!?

"Alright then, no more playing with you."

With a thought, 'Gun Fighting Skill (Close Combat)' was once again raised to Level 9, and simultaneously thirteen flying shuttles shot out from his body.

The spear's root stomped heavily on the ground; the next moment, violent lightning instantly covered the entire ground, causing 'God's silhouette to jerk stiffly.

The next moment, the spear surged like a dragon, instantly reaching 'God's front. 'God's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he activated his strongest power, disappearing from where he stood and reappearing behind Gao Gong, his hands slashing ferociously, creating dozens of cracks that flickered in an instant.

The 'Steel Gun Banner' appeared with intelligence behind Gao Gong. With a twitch of Gao Gong's wrist, the spear shaft instantly fragmented into dozens of segments, orbiting around Gao Gong's back in different rotational directions.

The next instant, ten spear segments were directly cleaved in half, with the remaining segments recombining into a new Steel Gun Banner.

'Looks like it's not the most troublesome space travel, but rather an offensive-type space distortion, Dimension Blade.'

Gao Gong had three more blood streaks of forearm length on his body.

'God' wasn't doing well either. Almost the instant he appeared, six energy beams added six blood holes to his body, also taking away 30,000 of his blood volume.

With a thought from Gao Gong, the cracks on his body rapidly healed.

When 'God' moved, the blood holes not only failed to heal but also seemed on the verge of bursting.

A strong sense of threat suddenly surged from his heart, as if the opponent had become some formidable foe.

Reason being, Gao Gong unlocked 'Species Butcher' and 'Genetic Slash', simultaneously hanging a massive 'Prey Mark' over the opponent's head.

Soon, 'God' could sense the difference.

His previously unfailing ambush became ineffective.

Frankly, 'God' wasn't weak; his blood volume was double that of a B-level Radiation Beast. While his various skills might not match Great Knight Steel, they weren't weak either; if they truly fought, they'd probably stand at a 4-6 advantage. If he used 'Spatial Ability', he might achieve a counter-kill.

Moreover, Gao Gong right now wasn't in his prime, missing the reactor and Reproductive Soldier Body, with mechanical energy reduced by at least 10,000.

However, in their battle, the one getting heavily beaten down was 'God'.

While the 'Shuttle-shaped Mayfly Spear' and 'Mechanical Banner' played a role, more importantly, Gao Gong's attributes had already completely surpassed the Level 30 Genetic Fusion.

This was a one-sided massacre.

With the activation of 'Species Butcher', Gao Gong's form grew leaner and faster, spikes protruding from his body. With every close encounter, it would add several more blood holes to the opponent.

This 'hit-and-run' fighting style was the most detestable for 'God'.

Moreover, with every attack, he hit his vital points, triggering double damage.

'God's blood spurted wildly, quickly falling to the warning line.

Gao Gong suspected that the opponent might fall before the 'Genetic Slash' progress bar filled up.

'Maybe I should spare the opponent's life. A living Genetic Fusion can complete transfer missions.'

'More importantly, if I can decode the opponent's ability from the 'Genetic Fragments', that'd be a huge gain.'
