Chapter 222 - Spirit of Science

Wei Huo had never encountered such a powerful opponent before. The other party had Mithril Skin and a tough body and was at the middle stage of the Legendary stage. His willpower was extremely strong.

Zero had said that his first awakening had brought hope to all living things, but his second awakening brought despair to all living things.

When one’s life was destroyed, one was reincarnated. This was the path he wanted to walk.

This was a terrifying enemy who was loyal to his original ambition. No matter how powerful his enemy was, he had to achieve his goal.

Zero shouted, “Energy-Matter Conversion!”

A huge explosion occurred around Wei Huo again. It was a tiny speck of dust, but the energy it converted into was huge and the power it produced was very strong.

Wei Huo extended his hand and a huge Ice Sword appeared in it. He then shouted, “Water Electrolysis!”

The Ice Sword disappeared instantly, but a moment later, a blue flame sword appeared in his hand.

Water Electrolysis produced oxygen and hydrogen. When it was ignited, it turned into a blue high-temperature flame.

Wei Huo charged toward Zero with the blue sword in hand. Before he could hit Zero, the robot’s palm, which he was controlling, melted first. The temperature produced by the hydrogen and oxygen combustion was high enough to melt steel.

Wei Huo slashed at Zero with his sword. Zero used his arm to block his move, but this was a sword made of flames. Once he was hit, blue flames spread all over his body.

Wei Huo’s nanomachines had succeeded!

Countless nanomachines quietly moved to Zero’s body. They were all ignited before they burned Zero’s outer shell. After burning a hole, countless nanomachines poured into Zero’s steel outer shell and onto his Mithril Skin.

Zero knew about the change, but Wei Huo kept it occupied so that it couldn’t care less about the nanomachines. The robots found the wound on Zero’s chest and back and drilled in.

It was like a virus that had invaded a human body. Tens of millions of nanomachines surged into Zero’s body, but they soon encountered the first wave of resistance.

Just like humans, Zero’s body also had an immune system.

Countless robotic bodies similar to white cells rushed over and started eradicating the nanomachines. However, even more nanomachines surged into the depths of Zero’s body.

Wei Huo was shocked when he saw the messages sent by countless nano robots. Zero’s body structure was no different from a human’s.

There were blood vessels, blood, and bones in Zero’s body. Everything was made of cells. However, these cells were all mechanical. There were still mitochondria, cell cores, and other parts in the cells, but they were all made of smaller machinery.

However, the mechanical cells in Zero’s body were much larger than the cells of living creatures. There were also fewer of them, but although there were some differences, Zero’s interior was no different from the interior of a human body.

Wei Huo was still battling with Zero. Countless nano robots that entered his body broke through the defense line of the robotic white blood cells, but they encountered the robotic macrophages. The giant devouring cells were terrifying and could swallow hundreds of nano robots with one bite.

The mechanical blood platelets started appearing and healing Zero’s wound.

At first, Wei Huo was confused as to why these mechanical creatures could move freely. No matter how powerful the nanomachines were, they had to follow the principles of physics. One had to have a path to move forward.

However, the machinery in Zero’s body could fly freely. Even if there was no air, even if there were no feet, they could still fly without a thruster system.

That made no sense. According to Newton’s law, the effects of force were mutual. If an object wanted to move forward, it had to be pushed. However, the machinery in Zero’s body could run around like real cells and move freely.

That was why the nanomachines were badly damaged. The nanomachines were not as mobile as mechanical creatures and could not escape the pursuit of mechanical creatures.

However, Wei Huo suddenly understood that Zero had not only grasped electromagnetic and gravitational forces, but also intermolecular forces!

Wei Huo understood this and immediately pushed forward. However, it was too late. The robot he was controlling suddenly disintegrated. This disintegration was not caused by the loss of magnetism. The robot turned into ashes and shattered into pieces.

As Zero made this move, he said slowly, “Rule: Strong Force Disappearance.”

Wei Huo’s expression changed. Not only had he received nine years of compulsory education, but he had also attended high school for three years. Besides, he was good at physics. He naturally knew what it meant to have the strong force disappear.

The power of the robot that he had created had disappeared. That was the equivalent of a snap of Thanos’s fingers against the robot. The robot would disappear without leaving a trace.

The powerful force disappeared, and so did the molecular force. The materials that made up the robot, such as iron and bronze, turned into synthesized materials before turning into a single material. In the end, even this single material disappeared and turned into protons and electrons. Then, it completely disappeared and returned to the world.

Legend had it that Immortals had been able to turn stone into gold in ancient times. It was not impossible. Since science had developed to the point that it could split protons and electrons, it could naturally turn silicone into gold. In the end, the only difference between silicone and gold was that the number of protons and electrons was different.

If science could dismantle protons and electrons and assemble them at will, what was so difficult about turning stone into gold?

Wei Huo pushed the thought away as soon as he realized that. Otherwise, his body would disappear like the robot.

Wei Huo frowned. It would be terrifying if a scientist could cultivate. If Zero became a true Mythical expert, who knew what he could create?

“Battle Scientists are indeed powerful!” Wei Huo sighed.

The golden armor and the old robot were confused. Battle Scientists? What are they?

The golden armor did not understand what had just happened. It had watched as Wei Huo had taken the initiative, but Wei Huo had suddenly retreated. The robot had disappeared without any warning.

It cursed. “Can’t one understand the battle between scientists if one doesn’t have a brain?”

The old robot consoled him. “It’s alright. I don’t understand either.”

The golden armor was speechless.

Wei Huo retreated hundreds of meters away and confronted Zero again. This time, Zero did not make any other moves. It seemed like that move had consumed a lot of his energy, and it could not be used from afar.

This was a good opportunity for Wei Huo to get close to Zero, but he had retreated too decisively.

What a pity!

Zero could not help but sigh.

However, a strong fighting spirit suddenly appeared in his body. He finally stopped reciting the name of the move and praised him. “You’re very strong!”

However, as a scientist, the robot liked to overcome difficulties the most. Zero liked doing things that normal people could not do. That was why Wei Huo’s appearance had made his fighting spirit stir.

This was the spirit of science. The more ordinary people could not do something, the more they had to do it. The harder it was, the more they had to overcome the difficulties. They had to try again and again without fear of failure until they succeeded.

“Let’s fight again!” This time, Zero took the initiative to attack Wei Huo.
