Chapter 51: Speedrun Fixed Routine…Variant (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)
What is a fixed routine?
It's a gaming term.
Through extreme output and extreme control, one can control a monster (controllable) from start to finish, achieving a quick kill in a short amount of time.
The entire process is an optimized, fixed routine, with even the monster's knockdown stiffness, sleep stiffness, and escape trap landing points all precisely calculated, hence the name 'fixed routine'.
G5 isn't a very rare boss. While this particular one might be stronger, the basic concept remains unchanged.
Since the T-Virus and G-Virus aren't differentiated in the movie series, and the Main God is unlikely to create the G-Virus out of thin air...
Therefore, using the T-Virus antibody can most likely kill this monster, provided it's absorbed sufficiently.
The conventional speedrun fixed routine involves controlling it with stun grenades, then dodging attacks through movement, and finally feeding the antibody to its core—the octopus mouth where Kaplan is located.
This method basically guarantees no failures.
Of course, given Fang Ge's understanding of the Main God's habits, this thing is definitely no longer a pure G5. He had already sensed the 'BIG' characteristic from it just now.
"Notorious B.I.G." is a Stand from the Japanese manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind" and its spin-off works.
It attacks anyone or their Stand who has attacked its user, absorbing their energy to grow. The energy it can absorb is not limited to life energy; other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, can also be absorbed.
Furthermore, its regenerative ability is extremely strong; it can recover even from a small fragment. It attacks the fastest-moving object nearby, and its movement speed is infinite, always bursting forth at a speed slightly faster than the fastest object!
If not for their thorough preparation, the Central Continent Team would not even be qualified to face this monster.
With the change in mechanics, the flesh lump not only possesses powerful immortality but also absorbs kinetic energy to grow, which means it can no longer be weakened by firearms or swords.
The air was also preemptively consumed due to the large number of spiders, meaning flames could not ignite.
Even damaging it became a challenge.
However, as long as it's a viral creation, it will surely fear antibodies.
Moreover, the Central Continent Team deliberately avoided using "stun grenades" during their previous journey. This ensured that the monster's corresponding resistance would not be specialized by the Main God.
The caution of the speedrun players still paid off.
Their initial preparations would lay the groundwork for their ultimate victory.
Based on previous experience dealing with G5, the first stun grenade could disorient it for about five seconds.
The second would be three seconds, and the third would be one second...
After that, its terrifying biological adaptability would completely adapt to the effects of the stun grenades.
Tightening his grip on the antibody, Fang Ge calculated the time and concluded that its resistance had not changed.
—The question is, is it closer to BIG or closer to G5?
G5's behavioral logic revolves around food and vibrations—or rather, sound.
BIG's behavioral logic is to attack the fastest-moving object.
To verify his hypothesis, Fang Ge gestured to Jin Xi, signaling her to move quickly towards the tunnel.
At the same time, he shouted, "Everyone, don't move yet!"
Fang Ge's gaze was fixed on the twisted mass of flesh; he needed to determine its primary target.
Jin Xi would absolutely exert her utmost effort for any of Fang Ge's commands.
Pure North Darkness True Energy surged into her slender long legs, and with the added benefit of movement techniques, she lightly tapped her toes on the ground and soared into the air like a bird, moving as fast as lightning.
Even though Zhan Lan already possessed more than twice the physical capabilities of an ordinary person, in her vision, Jin Xi, going all out, was still like a white afterimage!
"Sizzle~"
An intensely loud friction sound emanated between the twisted creature and the floor, making people's eardrums ache!
This mountain of flesh truly surged towards Jin Xi at an incredible speed, a rate completely mismatched with its appearance, not at all slower than Jin Xi, following her relentlessly!
—The same behavioral logic as BIG... If it really is BIG, then it should be slightly faster than Jin Xi.
Fang Ge's heart sank. This would make it much more troublesome to deal with.
He still had two control opportunities, totaling four seconds.
When controlled, the twisted flesh lump would quickly attack in all directions, with very strong attack power, which must be dodged.
—Four seconds... Four seconds is still too short.
Fang Ge was confident he could close in within three seconds and throw the antibody into the twisted flesh lump's mouth, but even after consuming the antibody, it would take a short while to take effect.
With the flesh lump's speed enhanced to this extent, and Fang Ge and Jin Xi lacking the ability to fly, even with divine martial arts protecting them, they might not gain an advantage in the final stage.
After all, it could even punch through steel plates! What about flesh and blood?
If they were to feed it physically, how to survive the period of its death throes became a problem.
There was only one chance; if they used a throwing method and made a mistake, it would be a huge disaster!
Throwing...
Jin Xi's figure twisted in mid-air in a way that defied physics, barely dodging the tentacle's attack.
The high-frequency longsword was drawn at that moment, as if to retaliate...
"Boom!"
This time, the flesh lump's speed reached a terrifying level!
It was unimaginable that a mountain of flesh, over ten meters tall, could perform an almost instantaneous movement!
Fang Ge almost thought this mountain of flesh had soared into the air, with even its afterimage difficult to discern. By the time the air explosion and intense impact sounds were heard, it had already slammed into the other side of the tunnel!
This unexpected and horrifying scene made his heart skip a beat.
"Jin Xi!"
"I'm fine... His target is the high-frequency longsword. Because the vibration speed is the fastest!"
Fang Ge heard Jin Xi's reply and turned his gaze, only to find that things were not as understated as she described.
The immense impact had embedded Jin Xi into the tunnel wall, only three to five meters away from the flesh lump. Her entire right arm, which held the sword, had vanished, and blood was gushing out.
—Did just a graze have such an effect? No, judging by the cross-section, she must have cut it off herself.
At such speed and mass, this kind of impact was simply beyond what a B-grade True Energy body shield could withstand. If she had taken a direct hit, she would definitely have lost the ability to move.
Jin Xi actually managed to react in time, severing her arm to dissipate the force immediately after being hit...
!!
—It was intentional! Her reaction isn't that fast; from the very beginning, it was to confirm whether the high-frequency sword could serve as bait!
Truly worthy of a homunculus inheriting the wisdom of a speedrunner.
With her hint, Fang Ge had already found a way to defeat the enemy.
The fixed routine approach could still be used—control, guide into a trap, deliver a killing blow, giving the monster no chance to retaliate!
"James, how precise is your Telekinesis?"
Fang Ge showed him the antibody in his hand, "Are you confident you can get this thing into its mouth?"
"...Yes!"
James gave a strong and affirmative answer.
He had to let his comrade rest in peace, not lose himself in that pile of rotten flesh.
As for slowly walking over to hand over items, or using multiple movements to control the monster... Fang Ge didn't want to bother with so many details. The more complex the instructions, the easier it was to make mistakes.
What he trusted most was his own execution.
"Good... Zhan Lan, you need to throw the Buddha Wheel to James. I will use the intervals between stun grenades to set up a trap with the high-frequency sword to attract it."
"Then, James, you will use Telekinesis to put the antibody into its mouth, understood?"
Meeting Fang Ge's sharp and resolute gaze, Zhan Lan nodded firmly.
Fang Ge then pulled the pin on the second stun grenade in advance, pre-reading two seconds.
"Move!"
The moment he spoke, he pulled the pin on the third stun grenade and stepped out.
Zhan Lan's gaze had been fixed on him; almost the instant he stepped out, the Buddha Wheel in her hand was thrown.
Whether it was off-target didn't really matter; as long as the general direction was accurate, James could receive it with Telekinesis.
And Fang Ge had to ensure his speed was faster than the thrown Buddha Wheel, lest the Buddha Wheel become the next target!
The flesh lump's perception was extremely acute. It didn't need to perform any turning maneuvers; it moved towards Fang Ge at a speed slightly superior to his!
—Good, James got it... The timing is perfect!
Confirming the Buddha Wheel's movement out of the corner of his eye, Fang Ge knew he had achieved victory.
The stun grenade, pulled in advance, detonated at this moment.
"Buzz!"
