Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

"What is this thing!"

"A monster?"

"What a terrifying feeling!"

"A biological version of powered armor?"

"..."

Upon seeing Wang Tao armed with the Beetle Armor, everyone uttered cries of astonishment.

Even Gu Yun, who was somewhat prepared mentally, was stunned.

He had previously hoped that the Beetle Armor ability would be somewhat low-key, but now... seeing this six-meter-tall, fierce figure, there was nothing low-key about it!

He could even imagine that it wouldn’t be long before the story of this "monster" started spreading within Changhe Base!

"So this is what you’ve been wanting to keep hidden... an Awakener plus this thing, how strong it must be!"

Qi De murmured to himself.

Although Wang Tao was just standing there without demonstrating any combat power, as an Ability User, his Perception was very sharp. He felt that, facing Wang Tao in this state, he basically had no chance of winning!

Huang Wu and Zhou Long felt the same, sensing that they were no match for Wang Tao. They even doubted whether the three of them together could defeat Wang Tao...

After the shock, came a wave of excitement.

If Wang Tao could use this Beetle Armor, so could they!

If they were in Wang Tao’s place, wouldn’t they be just as strong!

Although the Beetle Armor belonged to the City Hall and Wang Tao, and most likely would end up with City Hall, the Beetle Armor came from the Celestial Meteorite, and they still had many meteorites unopened! They still had a chance to obtain the Beetle Armor!

...

Meanwhile, inside the Beetle Armor, Wang Tao was carefully feeling the enhancement it provided.

The enhancement from the Beetle Armor was indeed good, but not as strong as others imagined.

Because the combat capability limit of such weaponry depended on its user.

The Beetle Armor was essentially an enhancement to physical Attributes, and Wang Tao’s physical attributes were originally strong, only now it felt like returning to the essence, which is difficult for others to perceive. But after being equipped with the Beetle Armor, it was like displaying his hidden physical attributes.

His physical attributes combined with the Beetle Armor’s own attributes made the combined aura very terrifying.

For Wang Tao, the greatest boost from the Beetle Armor was not in terms of attack.

Currently, Wang Tao’s strongest attacks were [Starfire Outbreak] and fireball special ability, but both were unaffected by the Beetle Armor.

Moreover, Wang Tao felt that he couldn’t release [Starfire Outbreak] while in the Armored Beetle, or else the Beetle Armor might be burned to death...

His Entangling Roots even have Fire Resistance, he almost burned the Entangling Roots during a test; let alone the Beetle Armor which lacks Fire Resistance...

The greatest enhancements the Beetle Armor provided Wang Tao were in HP, Defense, and physique.

[150000/150000 (50000/50000)]

Wang Tao’s total HP after wearing the Beetle Armor was 200,000!

This HP should be considered rather exaggerated among human survivors.

Moreover, the Beetle Armor hadn’t reached its limit yet, now only at 50,000. If it were nourished with fifty Level 4 Crystal Cores and reached 100,000 HP, it would be even stronger.

As for Defense, Wang Tao was not yet clear how high it was, but just by the appearance of the Beetle Armor and how it felt on him, he knew it must be high.

Last was the physique, Wang Tao now stood six meters tall, one meter taller than his 5-meter height when he Triggered Berserk!

His physique was proportionally enlarged after entering Frenzy, still maintaining a human shape. Now, armed with the Beetle Armor, he had completely transformed into a fearsome monster! The visual oppression was much stronger!

Although there were some zombies and monsters taller than six meters, those were only a minority; most zombies still had a human-like size.

If Wang Tao entered a crowd of zombies in this form, he’d be the monster!

The increase in size meant Wang Tao’s attack range was larger. A casual reach could burst many zombies. A simple kick could disassemble many zombies... The combat advantage brought by this physique was quite apparent!

However, the increase in size wasn’t all advantages; there were disadvantages too.

Firstly, such a large size was too conspicuous, whether among crowds of people or zombies, making him stand out greatly, and likely to be targeted for group attacks. Secondly, he couldn’t use his own weapons, and the damage from Wang Tao’s weapons was not low...

Then, Wang Tao simply tested it out, although both the entangling roots and the beetle armor were arming him, there were still some differences. @@novelbin@@

Simply put, the Entangling Roots were like Wang Tao wearing a piece of clothing, which did not hinder his movements and were very flexible, like an extension of his limbs. Moreover, the size of the Entangling Roots changed according to Wang Tao’s physique, so it didn’t make Wang Tao feel awkward.

But the Beetle Armor was different. It was like a vehicle, inherently large and unchanging, less flexible than the Entangling Roots, and even operating it had a bit of delay!

The reason for the delay was related to the characteristics of weapons. Since weapons were living entities, when Wang Tao used a weapon, for the most part, he was issuing commands to the weapon, which then executed the commands.

Although the communication was through the conscious level and the delay was very minimal, there still was a delay. Therefore, when using the Beetle Armor, Wang Tao always felt a slight delay...
