The "Genetic Mutator," a Super Weapon in the Yuri tech tree.
Originally, given the base construction progress on the Dimensional Battlefield, this weapon of mass destruction hadn't even started construction.
However, Luca considered that there weren't many opportunities to use this thing on Earth, and it might damage his "glorious and positive image."
So, he simply dismantled the control console for the only Genetic Mutator in Sokovia and sent it all to the Dimensional Battlefield with Mitsuki's second batch of reinforcements.
In fact, most buildings created by the Yuri MCV were highly modular structures designed for rapid deployment on the front lines.
Coupled with the convenience of Capsules, transporting them wasn't too difficult.
The only troublesome part was retrieving the launch satellite from Earth's orbit and redeploying it here on the Dimensional Battlefield.
But the good news was that the complex satellite retrieval on Earth had already been handled.
And the reason the Genetic Mutator needed a high-altitude satellite was mainly to strike anywhere on the globe.
In contrast, the entire Dimensional Battlefield was only the size of New York City. Launching and deploying the satellite, as well as the preheating process, were greatly simplified.
This simplification was so efficient that by the time Dunshan asked, the launch preparations for the Genetic Mutator were already complete.
Hearing his deputy's affirmative answer, Dunshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately issued another command.
"Skynet, scan the battlefield area. I need a location suitable for a Genetic Mutation strike."
"Dispatch all Magnetron Tank units to create a containment pocket. Before the mutation strike lands, intercept as many demons as possible within the pocket!"
With Dunshan's order, the base's military command AI, "Skynet," sprang into action. While analyzing and scanning the battlefield, hundreds of Magnetron Tanks quickly turned around and headed for the designated area.
Actually, due to the large-scale clearing operations by Mitsuki and Bucky, plus the continuous artillery bombardment, the demons on the battlefield had already begun to divert.
Especially on the main front, where the overwhelming momentum of the Hextech forces caused many weaker fodder demons to consciously gather towards the flanks to avoid the meat grinder.
They seemed to want to use their numerical advantage to bypass the main front and breakthrough to the rear base.
Because of this, Skynet's scan identified a clear target.
Immediately after Dunshan's order, dozens of Magnetron Tanks were dispatched to the left flank of the demon army.
Magnetron Tanks possessed a unique attack mode: they fired magnetic beams similar to telekinesis to control and bind enemies. The actual damage they dealt was pitiful.
Therefore, the base hadn't invested major resources into this weapon. The less than one hundred Magnetron Tanks currently deployed represented the base's entire stock.
However, although these Magnetron Tanks seemed insignificant relative to the total forces on the battlefield, upon arriving at the target location, they executed Dunshan's tactical demands perfectly.
The Magnetron Tanks suddenly spread out in front of a mountain pass.
Then, beams of purple magnetic energy shot out without hesitation towards the surging demon army.
Strangely, these magnetic beams usually only touched briefly. After hitting the fastest-charging demons, they acted like giant telekinetic hands, lifting the targets and tossing them backwards before ignoring them.
The next wave of attacks targeted other demons charging at the front.
Repeating this process, even though the demons—tossed around like toys—grew increasingly angry and gathered in greater numbers...
They still couldn't break through this electromagnetic defense line filled with purple beams of light.
Until...
Hummm~
Amidst an almost imperceptible hum, an invisible wave suddenly hit the angry swarm of demons that had begun to pile up on top of each other after being tossed back.
The next moment, these demons, who supposedly lacked reason and pain sensitivity, screamed in unison.
All the demons intercepted within the pocket began to twist and deform painfully, even tearing at their own bodies and those around them.
However, this pain didn't last long.
After just a few breaths, within the containment zone... whether it was a short humanoid demon or a grotesque creature with a bizarre shape... as long as they fit the "Infantry Unit" criteria, they all let out a uniform roar.
They transformed into muscular, grey-skinned Yuri Brute Infantry, wearing goggles and black pants.
Yes, Yuri's super weapon, the "Genetic Mutator," was just that unreasonable. As long as a unit fit the concept of "Infantry," regardless of how genetically different they were from humans, they would all be directly converted into Brutes—complete with complimentary pants and goggles.
As for the demons that didn't fit the "Infantry Standard," they all turned into puddles of blood under the super weapon strike.
The only sporadic survivors were a few Rock Demons, who lacked the concept of "genes." Whether lucky or unlucky, they were now surrounded by hundreds of grey-skinned muscle-heads eyeing them hungrily while cursing foully.
Er, saying "surrounded" might not be accurate.
Due to the size difference before and after transformation, and the fact that many demons were already piled up...
Many newly transformed Brutes were literally pressing on top of each other.
Only a few who were close to the Rock Demons launched attacks immediately, smashing them to pieces with a flurry of fists.
Of course, this chaos didn't last long.
Although Yuri's Brutes didn't have much brains and never shut up, thanks to Yuri's technological modifications, they were excellent soldiers who followed orders absolutely.
Soon, these newly converted Brutes roared in unison and threw themselves into the battlefield, continuing the slaughter of the unlucky demons.
However, in the command room, Dunshan, watching this in real-time, sweatdropped slightly.
After all, the scene of hundreds of muscle-men piled on top of each other was a bit too... impactful.
Hmm, seems like converting too many at once isn't ideal. While funny, it completely fails to achieve the effect of a sudden shock assault on enemy lines.
Next time, maybe I should try releasing the mutation strike directly into the rear of the demon army.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Dunshan's attention quickly returned to the main battlefield.
Because, just as the Hextech side was sweeping through everything... the forces of Hell seemed to finally start committing their elite troops.
The battle rapidly entered a fever pitch!
