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.
