After Liu Yang dug open the male mechanical cyborg's stomach, he discovered that the other's body was completely mechanical. The only human part was actually just the brain-even the skull was made of steel, equipped with energy pipes connected to the energy fluid in the chest.
This energy fluid supplied all the energy required for the entire body.
It maintained the brain's nutrition and drove the entire mechanism!
This small canister of energy fluid possessed massive amounts of power. Clearly, it was a special new energy source recently discovered by the White Eagle Empire.
Its energy density was easily dozens of times that of gasoline.
Aside from the brain, even the guy's skin was synthetic-not real skin at all. No wonder a slap to the face hadn't left a mark.
Fortunately, Liu Yang's physical strength was dozens of times that of an ordinary human. If an ordinary ability user had taken a careless swing at that steel skull, their own hand would have shattered instead.
Liu Yang chuckled softly. "This tech content is at least three or four stories high!"
As the saying goes: the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation.
As the reigning superpower of the peacetime era, the White Eagle Empire certainly knew how to throw money around.
All it took was an ordinary person's brain to churn out a cyborg matching a Level 2 ability user in combat strength.
Best of all, these units could be mass-produced endlessly, limited only by available resources.
Ability users, on the other hand, had to rely on natural mutations.
Their numbers were far too scarce and precious to throw away as cannon fodder.
From that perspective, the White Eagle Empire's military might probably remained a dominant force even in the apocalypse.
Swish!
Swish!
Liu Yang instantly sliced off the hands and feet of both male cyborgs.
The pair winced, their faces contorting in agony.
Clearly, the brains of these mechanical cyborgs still retained pain receptors.
Those sensory nerves had been deliberately wired into their mechanical frames.
Pain was essential for combat reflexes; without it, an operative wouldn't even realize if they were being ambushed from behind.
Then again, their pain threshold was dialed down to about a tenth of a normal human's.
Next, Liu Yang casually swapped the heads of the two male cyborgs.
To his amusement, they could still control bodies that didn't originally belong to them.
"Well, what do you know? As long as the brain stays intact, you can just swap out broken bodies like spare parts. Pretty slick!" Liu Yang remarked with genuine appreciation.
He then stripped off their clothes and pants.
Inspecting them closely.
To his surprise, the mechanical cyborgs were even equipped with artificial attachments down there.
And they were built bigger and stronger than an average man's.
Almost rivaling his own.
"Do these things actually work?" Curious, Liu Yang summoned his ice sword and brought the blade down.
Ahhhhh!
The male cyborg let out a blood-curdling scream.
He could actually feel it?
Meaning it wasn't just for show?
If the men had sensation, did the female units have it too?
Hiss...
Liu Yang's eyes lit up as a bold thought crossed his mind, shifting his gaze toward the two delicately featured female cyborgs.
Because they were mechanical units, their faces had been meticulously sculpted by specialists to match the golden ratio and ergonomic perfection.
They were absolute stunners.
Liu Yang pondered to himself:
"If those features actually function, I might just have a brilliant idea here..."
As the saying went:
Only sissies like regular women; real men play with robots!
Female cyborg bodies were engineered by elite experts to maximize sensory feedback-they could probably pleasure a man to the brink of insanity.
They likely came with various customizable functions, too.
Not many men could resist a setup like that.
After all, how could an ordinary woman's body ever compete with a project backed by trillions in funding and thousands of top industry experts racking their brains?
While Liu Yang examined the robotics with clinical fascination, the expressions on the five cyborgs shifted from initial disdain into absolute terror.
Their bodies might have been heavily modified, but their brains were still human, and their thoughts still functioned like ours.
Liu Yang's terrifying strength had completely shattered their worldview.
A single encounter had left them frozen solid by his ice abilities, followed immediately by ruthless dismemberment and amputations that thoroughly broke their morale.
Liu Yang glanced down at them. "Care to spill the reason you're here now? Don't think your metal chassis protects you from everything. Every human brain has a pain-processing center. Imagine what it would feel like if I drove my ice needles straight into yours, giving you a taste of true eternal torment.
"In your dreams! Our skulls are forged from a specialized high-hardness alloy-indestructible! It's a completely different league from the metal on our bodies! You might have bypassed our armor, but you'll never breach our brains-"
Some people simply refuse to shed tears until they see the coffin. Liu Yang shook his head, raised his ice sword, and drove it straight into the talker's skull.
Swish!
The blade pierced clean through.
Ah!!!
The cyborg let out one final shriek before going limp.
So-called high-hardness special alloys were softer than tofu in the face of Liu Yang's Eternal Freezing.
His old Black Light Katana could already punch through ten-centimeter-thick reinforced stainless steel safe rooms.
Eternal Freezing was countless times sharper than the Black Light Katana; piercing a cyborg's skull was child's play.
The remaining two male cyborgs stared in utter disbelief.
"My god! What kind of weapon is that?"
"Impossible! Our alloy skulls can shrug off armor-piercing rounds! I took a direct hit from a Barrett rifle on my forehead just days ago! How did his sword punch right through?"
The surviving male cyborgs were completely shell-shocked.
Liu Yang's power defied all known science.
A melee weapon piercing high-hardness special alloy was something straight out of a nightmare.
They had run rigorous tests during manufacturing.
Skulls forged from this alloy could withstand ten tons of hydraulic pressure without deforming and shrug off 14.5mm armor-piercing discarding sabot rounds.
Their durability exceeded that of armored vehicles.
Yet this guy had tapped his ice sword against it and poked a hole right through like paper.
How terrifying was this man?
Liu Yang looked over at the last two men. "Judging by your looks, you aren't going to talk anyway. I'll save myself the trouble and just finish you off."
With that, he turned his attention toward the female cyborgs.
He raised two fingers and stepped forward.
