Chapter 173: Psychic Force Field, Evasion Radar Module

After eliminating the black man, the two remaining Japanese were no match for Lu Heng.

A single sword strike could take them down, and Lin Zeyu even managed to claim a kill, sniping one of the Japanese during his moment of evasion.

Only one of the Japanese had extracted Source Essence, while the other was likely summoned through a binding relationship.

Su Muyu obtained the Source Essence and absorbed it, increasing her fusion rate to 51%, then located Nagakawa Tomo's position.

The control range of the mirror clone wasn't too far, and with the Divine Feathered Eagle, finding him wasn't difficult.

"He's in Gas District 1012, in a grid house 1500 meters ahead."

Lu Heng arrived at the house, intending to surround it to prevent Nagakawa Tomo from escaping.

Unexpectedly, Nagakawa Tomo flew out of the house.

He had an anti-gravity module and used his psychic force to effortlessly propel his body.

The combination of these two abilities granted him the ability to fly freely.

In fact, a Mindbender could fly solely by using their psychic force to counteract gravity, but at lower levels, this method of flight was inefficient, consuming a significant amount of Source Energy and resulting in slow speeds.

With the anti-gravity module, it was different. The body was unaffected by gravity, and all psychic force could be channeled into propulsion, resulting in an acceleration greater than gravity's pull, allowing for incredible speed.

Nagakawa Tomo flew out, hovering in mid-air, as two mechanical beasts rushed out and surrounded him, entering combat mode.

As Lu Heng approached within ten meters of Nagakawa Tomo, he suddenly felt an invisible force field suppressing his movements.

It was a psychic force field, the Mindbender's area-of-effect suppression field.

Any Mutant who entered the force field's range would be restrained, their actions severely limited.

This sensation was akin to carrying a burden of several hundred pounds. If the Mutant's level was insufficient, they would be pinned to the ground by the force field.

Sensing the psychic force field, Lu Heng's eyebrows furrowed as he realized Nagakawa Tomo's strength had increased significantly.

Just by entering the Abyss Battlefield earlier, he had gained such a boost. Given more time, who knew how powerful he might become?

A confident smile appeared on Nagakawa Tomo's face as he said, "I wanted to save some trouble, but it seems I have to take matters into my own hands. Dealing with you few is child's play for me now."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed down towards Lu Heng, causing the psychic force field to intensify threefold.

Lu Heng felt the immense pressure on his body, increasing from three hundred to a thousand pounds, barely manageable due to his high strength attribute.

Nagakawa Tomo then pointed, and two mechanical beasts resembling hellhounds roared and pounced, aiming to tear Lu Heng apart.

The Mechanical Tiger behind Lu Heng leaped forward and engaged one of the mechanical beasts in combat.

Despite the heavy pressure of the force field, the Mechanical Tiger managed to hold off one of the beasts.

Lu Heng, employing his agility, dodged the attack of the other mechanical beast and charged forward, launching an attack towards Nagakawa Tomo despite the force field's pressure.

The closer he got to Nagakawa Tomo, the more intense the force field's pressure became.

When he closed the distance to within three meters, the pressure soared to 1500 pounds.

Lu Heng shouted and, bearing the pressure, thrust his sword forward.

Due to the force field's suppression, the sword's speed was significantly slower than usual.

Nagakawa Tomo slightly lifted his hand, and his psychic force propelled his body, allowing him to nimbly dodge the sword strike.

Lu Heng tried a few more sword strikes, but Nagakawa Tomo evaded them all.

Nagakawa Tomo burst into laughter, "This is why the Creator invited me. You can't comprehend the might of a Mindbender."

In truth, Lu Heng had always known that Mindbenders were powerful. If Nagakawa Tomo completed his Source Essence fusion and attained the full rank, his psychic force field would be even stronger.

The Mindbender's rank was indeed one of the primary reasons the Creator had invited him.

Additionally, his control over the Soulstealers, which effectively granted him influence over Japan's political scene, was another significant factor in the Creator's interest.

However, Lu Heng hadn't followed 027's instructions to invite Nagakawa Tomo; instead, he had almost eliminated him.

Lu Heng's boldness stemmed from the Creator's organization being relatively loose.

Within the organization, authority levels were based on sequential numbers, with lower numbers indicating higher authority.

Lu Heng was 028, and if Nagakawa Tomo officially joined, he would be 029, making Lu Heng his superior with the power to issue commands.

Just as 027 had the authority to command Lu Heng.

In the invitation process, if Lu Heng was dissatisfied, he could retract the invitation at any time.

Similar to how Lu Heng had received his invitation, the envelope containing the Soulstealer information had a time limit of 10 PM that night.

Lu Heng had opened the envelope within the last two minutes of the time limit.

Had he opened it later, it would have been a refusal, and 027 had the authority to retract the invitation.

This was 027's privilege.

Now, that privilege was in Lu Heng's hands.

Lu Heng, dissatisfied with Nagakawa Tomo, could retract the invitation at any time since the invitation process wasn't completed.

Nagakawa Tomo's eyes turned cold, and he said, "You took back my invitation. Aren't you afraid of the Creator's retribution?"

Lu Heng smirked and replied, "Do you have something mixed up? You're not a member of the Creator yet, but I am, and I outrank you. Whether you join the Creator or not is my decision, and you haven't passed my evaluation."

Nagakawa Tomo coldly laughed, "Then I'll kill you and go directly to your superior."

"You don’t think a Psychic Force Field can stop me, do you?"

Lu Heng indeed attempted a few sword strikes, but under the heavy pressure of the field, his attack speed slowed down. Meanwhile, Nagakawa Tomo, with the aid of the anti-gravity system and psychic force, could move freely in mid-air, making his evasion abilities extremely strong.

Nagakawa Tomo laughed out loud and said, "Haven’t you noticed yet? Your sword can’t even touch me. You probably think it’s the Psychic Force Field that’s slowing you down, making it impossible for you to hit me. However, I have many more powerful functions you don’t know about."

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and launched a few more attacks.

He then discovered that Nagakawa Tomo could dodge each attack with pinpoint accuracy, as if he had some sort of evasion cheat.

Lu Heng even used the variation of the Seven-Segment Blade Step, nearly succeeding, but when the sword was about to pierce his abdomen, his body miraculously shifted 10 centimeters to the right, evading the strike.

Seeing this, Lu Heng almost suspected that Nagakawa Tomo had a skill like Bullet Time.

Because that final 10-centimeter shift was too much like the evasion ability of Bullet Time, making the most effective dodge in a split second.

After a few attacks were dodged at the last moment, Lu Heng roughly deduced the reason.

"You actually have the Evasion Radar Module."

Nagakawa Tomo raised an eyebrow and laughed haughtily, "You actually know about this function module. That’s quite rare."

The Evasion Radar Module is one of the more advanced function modules in the Sykes Civilization’s mechanical transformation technology.

The Evasion Radar Module works by locking onto enemy attacks through radar detection, then using an AI system to calculate the optimal evasion strategy and execute the most precise dodge.

This module can make the most precise judgments, but it doesn’t provide the evasion ability itself.

The user must have the evasion ability to make use of it.

If it were another mutant, even with the Evasion Radar Module, their evasion speed might not be fast enough to avoid Lu Heng’s sword.

However, Nagakawa Tomo, using the Psychic Force Field to significantly slow down Lu Heng, combined with the anti-gravity system and the evasion power provided by psychic force, gained the ability to dodge attacks with precision.

In other words, Nagakawa Tomo, by combining psychic force, the Evasion Radar Module, and the anti-gravity module, achieved evasion capabilities on par with Bullet Time.

After understanding the source of his evasion ability, a smile curled at the corner of Lu Heng’s lips, and he said, "For someone else, you might be untouchable, but for me, your evasion isn’t enough."

Evasion has a prerequisite: it requires sufficient speed to avoid an attack.

In other words, the defender’s evasion speed must reach a certain threshold to avoid the attack, and the faster the attacker, the higher this threshold.

When the attacker’s speed far exceeds this evasion threshold, the defender, even with an evasion radar system, cannot avoid the attack.

In short, to counter Nagakawa Tomo’s evasion, the solution is simple: increase the sword speed to the limit, overwhelming his evasion speed, leaving him with no way to dodge.

A fierce light flashed in Lu Heng’s eyes as he crouched down and activated Wind Runner to begin charging.

Gale Force gathered in Lu Heng’s body, compressing continuously.

Nagakawa Tomo sensed a whirlwind gathering around Lu Heng’s body, a move he had seen before.

On Blue Planet, he was severely injured by this move, being pierced through with a single sword strike.

Therefore, when he saw Lu Heng begin to charge, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he coldly snorted, "You think you can use the same skill on me again? Die!"

As he spoke, he raised his mechanical arm and activated the attack module.

The outer shell of the mechanical arm opened, and twelve mini fusion bombs shot out.

At the same time, a mechanical beast that had been entangled by a Divine Feathered Eagle turned its head, its liquid metal shell opening to reveal a missile module, which also fired twelve mini fusion bombs.

Twenty-four mini missiles flew toward Lu Heng’s position.

At this moment, Lu Heng was in the charging phase, compressing the Gale Force.

During the charging phase, any large movements would cause the charge to fail.

Thus, under the Psychic Force Field, it was almost impossible for Lu Heng to move, unless he interrupted the charge.

But the twenty-four mini missiles were already incoming.

Lu Heng’s lips curled into a smile, and instead of interrupting the charge, he directly activated Shadow Traverse, his body merging into the shadows, evading physical collisions.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The twenty-four mini fusion bombs hit the spot where Lu Heng stood, blasting a crater in the ground.

Nagakawa Tomo’s psychic force quickly scanned the explosion area but found no fragments of Lu Heng’s body.

This made him feel uneasy, and he immediately flew backward to create a safe distance.

Right then.

Lu Heng’s charge ended, and the Gale Force exploded, turning him into a shadow lightning bolt that shot out of the explosion’s fire.

Wind Runner’s charged burst increased his speed by 360%, and Shadow Traverse added another 300% speed boost.

The two effects combined, resulting in a final speed increase of 660%.

With his 74 points of ultra-high agility, Lu Heng burst out at a speed of 390 meters per second, instantly breaking the sound barrier.

Bang!

In an instant, he crossed a hundred meters, delivering a Piercing Strike that pierced through Nagakawa Tomo’s abdomen, the sword hilt buried deep.

The fierce kinetic energy instantly shredded his metal shell, causing the metal layers to burst open.

Nagakawa Tomo’s body split into two, falling to the ground from mid-air, with organic parts splattering blood.

His eyes were full of shock, his mind momentarily blank.

Because just as he was fleeing backward, he saw the evasion radar system issue an alarm, the entire system turning red, warning him of an unavoidable attack.

Almost the moment the red alarm appeared, he was pierced by a sword, with no time to react at all.
