Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1689: His Wife

The Atheist in Newton’s hands suddenly underwent a strange change. Its body trembled faintly, and on closer inspection, it was clear that it kept rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

Just like a human heart.

Watching the weapon in Newton’s hands, Canero couldn’t help remembering something he’d heard.

Most of the people in the Natural Science Association were lunatics.

“Is your Atheist a biological weapon?”

For the first time, Canero asked such a question.

Newton nodded, and a flicker of tenderness suddenly crossed his eyes.

He glanced at the Atheist and said, “She’s my wife.”

Canero’s pupils contracted sharply. “Your... wife?”

Newton stroked the Atheist in his hands. It continued to tremble faintly, and the light across its surface was slowly growing brighter.

“We’re both scientists. Even after the apocalypse, we kept devoting ourselves to exploring the limits of the human body. We both believe that in this era of great mutation, humanity can become divine! We can achieve immortality and gain unparalleled power.”

“Her physique is very special. She has an extraordinarily strong biological compatibility, and can even accommodate all kinds of rare materials.”

“That ability is powerful, but also somewhat impractical. She wasn’t an exceptional fighter, and with that ability alone, it was difficult for her to achieve biological evolution.”

Newton’s gaze grew dreamy. “So I came up with a wonderful plan! I would turn her into a powerful biological weapon. That way, she could make perfect use of her unique abilities!”

Canero didn’t know what to say.

But since the apocalypse, this wasn’t the first lunatic he’d encountered, so he wasn’t about to lose his composure in the middle of a fight.

The Atheist in Newton’s hands was his wife. That was why he could bring out its full power when using it as a weapon.

If an enemy picked up his Atheist on the battlefield, they wouldn’t be able to use it. In fact, they might even suffer its backlash.

Under Newton’s caress, the Atheist trembled more and more violently, and its golden light turned almost white.

Newton’s hands were remarkably skilled, drawing forth its tremendous energy.

He raised the hand cannon and aimed it at Blood Tide and Nian, far off in the sky.

Canero, without the slightest hesitation, pulled out his sniper rifle and squeezed the trigger.

“This attack is called the Mind Ray!”

Newton narrowed his eyes. As he squeezed the small trigger, the Atheist suddenly began to shudder violently, and a powerful golden torrent burst from its muzzle!

The two of them were still working together with perfect coordination, and the might of the Mind Ray finally made Blood Tide feel an overwhelming pressure.

Nian thrust both hands forward. “Shield!”

Telekinesis formed a massive barrier in front of them, but the instant the Mind Ray touched it, the barrier was blown to pieces!

Blood Tide also gathered a huge amount of blood, shaping it into a massive sphere to block the attack!

Rumble!!!

The incredibly dense sphere of blood split open with a crack! Like sunlight piercing the darkness, a golden beam shone through!

Blood Tide and Nian had never expected this attack to be so terrifying!

Just as they had never expected that although they thought they were facing two Epsilon-class Transcendents, they were actually facing three!

The attack tore through their defenses and slammed into them!

The two were sent flying more than ten kilometers. Their armor was visibly shattered, with great swaths of plating falling away and exposing their bodies to the surface environment.

The frigid air and intense ultraviolet radiation immediately altered the color of their skin.

It felt as unbearable as a human plunging into an environment heated to over a hundred degrees.

“I didn’t want to use that move.”

Newton looked at the Atheist with some regret and gently stroked its body.

“Every time I use the Mind Ray, it causes damage to Karina that’s difficult to repair.”

Seeing the sadness in Newton’s expression, Canero couldn’t help feeling some pity for the lunatic.

“Newton, get a grip. Don’t let your guard down! The fight’s not over yet!”

He reminded him.

Newton raised his head and looked into the distance. “I know,” he said coldly.

After withstanding the combined attack from the two of them, Blood Tide and Nian had suffered some injuries. What they found hardest to accept, though, was their shattered armor.

Imagine a human descending into the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, without a diving suit or an oxygen mask. What would happen?

Fortunately, the Lizardfolk had once lived on the surface, so they didn’t need to worry about oxygen. But the enormous difference in their environment still made them extremely uncomfortable.

“Damn it! Were we too careless after all?”

“No. The strength of the enemy we faced last time was too different from theirs, and that gave us the wrong impression.”

Blood Tide gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

“But now, I’m going to get serious!”

He took a deep breath. The river of blood in the sky suddenly surged toward his body from all directions.

It flowed through the gaps in his armor and rapidly seeped into his body.

“Using blood to attack is only one way to use Blood Control. Originally, it was just for bullying weaklings!”

“But now, I acknowledge your strength.”

“Let me show you my true power!”

A vast amount of blood flooded into Blood Tide’s body, and soon both his body and armor were rapidly dyed a deep crimson. Even his eyes had no visible pupils, only a dense, blood-red glow!

His injuries were also healing rapidly. Even under the ultraviolet radiation, he was soon restored to his former state.

“The source of a living creature’s strength comes from its blood. My River of Gore contains the life force of hundreds of thousands of living beings!”

“So as long as I’m on the battlefield, if even a single drop of my blood remains, I’m immortal!”

Blood Tide roared toward the sky.

At last, he unleashed his most powerful skill, Blood Recompense. Absorbing the energy of such a vast amount of blood all at once placed an immense strain on his body.

But for a short time, it could give him fighting strength beyond his original ability index!

The aura released by that blood-red figure in the sky made Newton and Canero’s expressions turn grave.

Blood Tide spread his right arm. Blood gushed from his palm and rapidly gathered into a massive scythe more than five meters long!

Holding the scythe, he swung it horizontally toward the two of them from an extremely long distance!

Whoosh!

The scythe cut through the air. The two had no idea what he had done, since no energy construct had attacked them.

But in the next instant, Newton felt the blood in his body suddenly boil. It seemed ready to burst through his veins and explode out of his body!
