Even though he has been mechanized for some time, Pei Yan still isn't quite adapted to the changes in his left eye. Everything, whether scenes or people, once they enter his field of view and are transmitted to his brain, appears analyzed. Just the automatic adjustment of field distance makes it difficult for him to adapt quickly.

However, the pros and cons appear after activating his ability. The system once again gives him a response different from the previous subtitle Q&A mode that appeared on the eyepatch, with its sluggish interaction. This time, they achieved real-time communication, without delay. As soon as Pei Yan's consciousness arises, the intelligent system quickly provides the answer he desires.

"How can I quickly eliminate this freak now!" Pei Yan asks while adapting to the changes brought by the Mechanical Eye.

"Based on the equipment you have absorbed, I recommend you use a nano attack. These nanobots, having evolved through your ability, can display attack capabilities far beyond the advanced technologies of reality." The system respectfully responds.

"Very well, then let's give it a try!"

With that, Pei Yan glances menacingly at the freak fighting Zhao Yuanhu beside him, extends his hand, and places it on its cheek. Countless minuscule, invisible nanobots leap from his palm, drilling into the freak's nostrils.

Upon entering the freak's body, these nanobots converge into streams of sharp iron, recklessly stirring up an iron whirlwind within, eventually gathering together to churn the freak's tormented heart and fragile brain into mush.

Casually tossing the freak's corpse aside, he opens his arms, allowing the nanobots mixed with black smoke to drill back into his body. As he and Ye Jiumu said, it truly feels fantastic!

Reborn anew, Pei Yan leaps to the edge of the pond, quickly approaching Xia Yu and Wang Wenze. He grasps a freak's cheek with each hand, repeating his action. Before the nanobots can fully exert their power, he casually shoves them aside, ignoring those doomed creatures as he squats beside Xia Yu, de-mechanizes his right hand, and absorbs the black smoke from her body.

"Pei Yan, is it really you! You've come back to life!" Wang Wenze cries tears of joy, stunned by the string of changes despite knowing his friend might be revived, and chokes as he pats Pei Yan on the shoulder.

"Ah! I'm the protagonist, aren't I? How could I die so easily!" Pei Yan's eyes turn red. Although his body was immobile earlier, the genuine emotions of his teammates were seen clearly by him, not artificial but honest feelings between people.

Xia Yu, relieved as the black smoke clears and her body recovers, punches Pei Yan's shoulder playfully. "Protagonist my ass! It's my first time seeing a protagonist who spends all day with a bare ass. Half the team saw you naked."

"Ah!" Pei Yan cries out, pulling his hand back to his forehead. How did he forget about that!

It seems he won't escape their teasing about this in the future!

No need to worry about that right now, Pei Yan thought as he stood up sharply, turning to the few remaining freaks on the field, twisting his neck, saying, "Leave these freaks to me!"

After saying this, his gaze crosses the freaks and lands on the Black-robed Man, gritting his teeth as he shakes his head. Very well, truly well! They are all targeting him. In just over half a year since awakening, he already has two enemies! One nearly turned him into a fool, and the other almost took his life!

As much as fury boils within and he resents the situation, reason still tells him he is no match for these two right now. Disregarding Mu Fanchen's mental attack, there's nothing he can do against the Black-robed Man's mysterious and unpredictable ice needles. If he uses them again, he might not survive to have another chance.

Strength! These two words appear repeatedly in Pei Yan's mind today. He must work harder to enhance his strength. Just wait! One day, the suffering he endured will be repaid a thousandfold!

Seeming to sense the overwhelming hatred from his opponent, Li Songtao watches Pei Yan, who stood back up and quickly eliminated three of his subordinates, with growing interest. Besides absorbing black smoke, he was able to revive under his attack, exceeding expectations.

Interesting, very interesting. He changed his mind. He decided not to kill this young man but to kill all his companions, then take him back to the Daoist Plane as a war trophy, laden with agony and remorse, for study.

With this in mind, the Black-robed Man waved his hand, recalling the Devouring Demons fighting the escaping Plane Cultivators. In no time, the Devouring Demons attacking the Cultivators decreased from fifteen to nine, and only three cultivators were still barely resisting. Originally crafted to target same-plane cultivators, these demons were incredibly efficient against low-tier counterparts.

Combining these nine demons with the other ten in the field, the nineteen demons surrounded them again. Since he planned to leave, he decided to enjoy a good show. What other powers would this young man display?

"Captain, I just saw external images. I think the reinforcements will arrive within at most five minutes! What should we do?" As the freaks closed in, everyone gathered beside Shangxing, while Pei Yan, extracting black smoke from Shangxing, said.

"Hold on, delay! Tangle with these freaks!" Shangxing replied, glancing at the deformed laptop, damaged by the battle shortly after it started, continuing, "Whether through live video or my report to headquarters, they should clearly understand our situation here. The reinforcements sent will not be weak. Facing such a formidable enemy, we can only wait for support!"

"Understood!" everyone responds in unison, understanding this might feel frustrating, but it's the best way to stay alive under the circumstances.

Following this plan, everyone braces themselves, choosing opponents to engage as the freaks charge, appearing to struggle only to buy time. Pei Yan, meanwhile, keeps a constant watch on the Black-robed Man's every move, maneuvering among the freaks, wary of attacking unless necessary to avoid provoking the enemy.

Li Songtao frowns as he watches Pei Yan and the others battling the Devouring Demons, seeing them slowly shift from an equal fight to one increasingly revealing their losing position.

He's enraged! These ants, these ants! How dare they toy with him! Do these self-righteous ants take him for a fool, thinking he can't see through their aim?

Fine! If you refuse to properly play out this scene, don't blame me then. You're the ones asking for it. Behaving well ensures you die more swiftly.

With this thought, a talisman glowing with blue light reappears at his fingertips!
