"To correct you, it's immunity to physical attacks."
A slightly mocking yet magnetic voice suddenly rang out above his head.
Pei Qi suddenly looked up.
On the tombstone in front of him sat a figure whose style was completely out of place with the surroundings.
He crossed his arms over his chest, and the pair of translucent, fin-like wings behind him, emitting a faint blue light, fluttered slowly in rhythm with his breathing.
"I took a look at the equipment you're wearing, that thing called a mecha suit."
The mysterious man extended a finger and gently tapped Pei Qi's dull breastplate, making a crisp "clang" sound.
"It's really quite good. By consuming high-density electricity to generate a repulsive field, it can counteract kinetic energy impacts at the microscopic level."
In a world "purely technological," this would indeed be considered near-law-level divine equipment. Even if hit head-on by a nuclear bomb, as long as the power level is sufficient, you would emerge unscathed.
He paused, then changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of knowing mockery: "But when did you develop the misconception that the 'Wall of Flesh and Blood' is weak?"
"I'm guessing you've fought other bosses before. The Slime King, the Eye of Cthulhu—those are just piles of flesh and power. But the Wall of Flesh is different."
The mysterious man stood up, his towering figure imposing. He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"That is magic, a curse, a rule. As a wall of flesh and blood that seals the true face of the ancient souls of light and darkness of this world, its importance is almost conceptual."
Does your mech have the concept of "it can stop bullets, but it can also stop death"? And "it can stop the brimstone fire on a spiritual level"?
Don't bring all your preconceived notions about game data into this world.
This world is not as simple as you imagine, especially with the added influence of "eternity" and "death," the rules here have long been rewritten.
"As for this place? This is the origin of the world."
The mysterious figure spread his hands. "This is the coordinate point where you were originally supposed to appear in this world, the place where all life begins and ends. As for me?"
He smiled slightly, and his wings suddenly spread open, instantly engulfing the entire origin point with a terrifying aura.
"Just call me a mutant."
"Logically, I should be responsible for guiding your journey and trials in this world. However, I didn't expect that the coordinates you arrived at in this world seemed to be different from what was anticipated. There was a slight mishap, and you ended up directly in the wilderness. But it's alright, as long as you're here! Even if you died and came back."
"You are—a mutant?!"
Pei Qi's pupils dilated in shock as he finally matched the image before him with the information in his mind.
"So, you've replaced the original director?"
Pei Qi asked a question, his mind racing.
In high-difficulty masochistic/eternal survival modes, the original guide who only opened doors and released monsters is usually replaced by a more powerful NPC.
For example, Vivian, who has a disdainful look on her face and specializes in selling BOSS summoning items.
Vivian's appearance is a fusion of various monsters, but the one in front of her—
The enormous pig shark wings, the devices on its shoulders resembling the probes of a mechanical destroyer, the seemingly rotating Eye of Cthulhu on its chest, and the head ornament that looks exactly like the Brain of Cthulhu —
Rather than calling it a person, it's more accurate to say that it's a humanoid ultimate weapon forcibly pieced together from the strongest parts of all the bosses in Terraria!
"And what do you mean by waiting specifically for me? Did you know in advance that I would be coming?" Pei Qi pressed.
The mutant, the final hidden boss of the Fargo module, is stronger than the Moon Lord.
If he's waiting for someone here, then the implications behind it are terrifying.
"It wasn't that I foresaw your arrival, but rather that the world itself told me you would come."
The mutant didn't explain much; his voice seemed to reverberate: "In this world distorted by multiple rules of 'zenith,' 'death,' and 'eternity,' even things that originally existed only in illusion have become real. What kind of change is impossible?"
"Since you are an anomaly, it is only reasonable for me, the strongest anomaly, to receive you."
The mutant looked at Pei Qi, who was completely bewildered, and seemed to find it amusing.
"Your fighting style was quite interesting. Nuclear bombs? A violent aesthetic."
"But in this world, quantity alone won't get you far. You need to understand trinkets," understand enchantments," and understand souls."
"Oh, right, as a greeting gift, which is also a newbie gift pack."
"By the way, since you've already experienced the harsh realities of society, you can have this."
As he spoke, the mutant appeared out of nowhere—perhaps from his void backpack, or perhaps from his bag filled with BS.
A weapon was pulled out of the body of the S component.
He solemnly handed it to Pei Qi with the air of someone passing on a divine artifact capable of severing stars.
Pei Qi excitedly accepted it.
Could it be the [Insightful One]? Or perhaps the [Terra Blade]? At the very least, it should be the [Eternal Night Blade], right?
However, when he saw what he was holding, he was completely bewildered.
It was a short, rusty, and even chipped bronze dagger.
Pei Qi: "————"
What the heck is this bronze sword?
In his warehouse at the MC base, there were hundreds of boxes filled with copper ingots, so many that they would be too uncomfortable to use as flooring.
As the final boss, this is the first gift you give me?
It's like a max-level veteran taking on a newbie, only to give the newbie a stick and say, "Go slay a dragon."
Pei Qi looked at the "divine weapon" in his hand, which had an attack power of only 5 points and an attack range as short as a toothpick, and then looked at the mutant with a "I believe in you" expression on his face.
Don't make that face.
The mutant patted Pei Qi on the shoulder, nearly knocking his mech apart.
"In Terraria, this is where dreams begin. And—within this sword resides a fragment of the heavens."
"Use it well, young man. You'll only be considered a true master when you can use this sword to pierce a mountain of flesh."
.
However, given that it was a gift from a mutant, and considering the other party's terrifying aura, Pei Qi reluctantly accepted it.
"Thank you for the gift."
However, the moment his fingers touched the hilt of the bronze dagger.
"Buzz!"
A strange feeling instantly spread throughout my body.
Pei Qi felt as if something had appeared inside his body, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
It felt like installing a new driver or patching an operating system.
