I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 424: A Scientist’s Warfare

Just with local materials, Muraguri was able to modify a tier 5 war weapon into tier 6.

Although it seemed a little weaker, each one still had the capability to use the power of law.

"This is the foundation of the Chronos Empire. Just an unknown guy already possesses such power, much less those famous Chronos Saints..." Lionas, who was with them, couldn’t help but add.

Chronos Saints, the very top talents of the Chronos Empire. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Is there a Chronos Saint participating this time?" Nash asked curiously.

The limit of the Cosmic Competition was there.

While all Chronos Saints could suppress a generation of talents, he didn’t think they’d encounter one.

"You didn’t know?"

"Is there?"

"There is, and it’s said to be the most talented Chronos Saint in the history of the Chronos Empire."

"Really?!" Nash repeated in shock.

If there really was a Chronos Saint mixed in the Cosmic Competition, then they were in for hell.

Not only because of the direct competition, but also because the difficulty of the Trial would also be enhanced beyond imagination.

From various Cosmic Empires entering the fray to assassinate the young Chronos Saint, to intelligent dark beasts that thought they were a threat, to other secret organizations that could resurface to vie for the throne.

Being the Chronos Saint not only came with benefits but also with corresponding duties and missions.

"Don’t worry about that too much. We just need to proceed steadily. What happens in the future will be dealt with by our future selves." Elizabeth comforted.

"I’m just worrying too much." Nash quickly shook the thought from his mind.

Soon, as everyone descended to the ground, Eldora and Muraguri bolted out, leading the way.

"Come, follow us! We’ll lead you to the closest Sentinel Dark Beast!"

Unable to refuse, everyone geared up and followed the two.

---

A few hours later, after traveling millions of kilometers, they came to the periphery of the Sentinel Dark Beast.

"We’re here. Be careful. I’ll lead the attack, be sure to follow up," Eldora said.

Not wasting any time, Eldora, together with Muraguri, shot forward without giving the Sentinel Dark Beast time to react.

Bam~

As if cosmic entities were clashing, the elements began to explode as the void and space started to crack.

Feeling the power surge through the air, Nash curiously scanned the Sentinel Guardian.

[Verdant Dusk Python: Tier 6 Sentinel

Estimated Power: 9.5 billion]

"Hiss—over 9 billion? Is this even something we can contend with?"

Even if Nash merged with all his celestial beasts, he could only reach an estimated power of around 8 billion.

Knowing the difference between the power of elements and law, Nash knew that without suppressing the enemy with a vast difference, he couldn’t form an effective attack.

Sure enough, looking at the clash, although Eldora’s attacks were hitting the Verdant Dusk Python, he didn’t even cause a scratch.

With a legendary combat mastery, a complete set of tier 6 treasures, and secret techniques to increase his power, Eldora’s strength reached a staggering 12 billion. Yet even that was useless.

Seeing the fight, almost everyone suddenly felt the difference and couldn’t help but back away.

Fortunately, it seemed Eldora was prepared.

The seemingly fragile Muraguri beside him, who was only at the Void Venerate Realm, having mastered barely dozens of elements, took out dark technology and fired.

With a resounding boom, the Verdant Dusk Python suddenly twisted in pain, feeling the prick of the needle that pierced through.

"What kind of weapon is that?"

Although it looked amazing, most of them knew its power wasn’t even enough to penetrate the skin of a tier 6 Guardian Dark Beast.

Yet it easily tore a hole in the Verdant Dusk Python, a Sentinel Dark Beast.

"Is this using the opposite law, penetrating the weakness of the enemy?" Nash deduced.

Although far away, his runic eyes were always activated, watching the battle.

Witnessing Muraguri’s fire that seemed to disorganize the runic command structure of the Verdant Dusk Python, Nash couldn’t help but be amazed.

"So this is how a scientist fights."

Pursuing the path of knowledge, one could only leave behind the path of power.

It’s not that it was impossible to pursue both, but there simply wasn’t enough time.

To become a true Tier 4 scientist at such a young age, Muraguri must have had no time to train.

This was apparent, as he hadn’t even mastered and condensed a hundred elemental cores.

Yet, using the power of knowledge, he was able to wound a Sentinel Dark Beast that they thought was impossible.

"It seems the path of knowledge wasn’t all that weak..."

Meanwhile, as Nash marveled at the power of Muraguri’s weapon, everyone snapped out of their stupor.

Realizing Eldora didn’t ask them to kill the Sentinel Dark Beast but only to hold it down, they rushed forward, wanting to claim more credit.

Each attack meant a bigger share, giving them more chances!

Not wanting to waste even a single bit of time, they began using all their power, bombarding the Verdant Dusk Python with an assault of attacks.

Not willing to back down, Nash also dashed forward, merging with all his celestial beasts.

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~

Although Nash’s power was currently lower than Eldora’s, his efficiency was higher.

Witnessing this scene, the other monstrous prodigies, Blair, Lionas, Varra, and Elizabeth couldn’t help but feel solemn.

It was fine if Eldora could suppress them in power; however, Nash? An unknown newcomer? Never.

Feeling challenged, they began using their various unique skills, quickly turning the initial desperate battle into a brutal competition.

Noticing their power rising, Eldora also became competitive, turning his power up a notch.

"These guys... Why are you so desperate?" Nash was exasperated.

He was barely using all his power. Why had they become so frantic?

Shaking his head, Nash continued at his own pace.

Although he could quickly catch up to them using the [Overlimit Module System], it wasn’t worth it.

Who knew what they’d encounter out here in the open?

Although Muraguri was a seer and should be able to detect danger in advance, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
