Chapter 583 - 295: Backstab
The madness in Scavenger Sed’s eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only relief and a bit of... unwillingness...
"Almost... almost managed to break free from its control... just a little more..."
Boom!
A missile fell onto her head as she murmured, and that aged head exploded in an instant with the impact. As the final roar echoed, the Legendary corpse began to disappear.
Sitting inside the mecha, Moon Side clenched his hands tightly; his former mentor... has died.
And... the real battle seems about to begin...
"What’s wrong? Isn’t the win rate going back up to 90%? Why do you seem so emotional?"
Suddenly, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded.
Moon Side slowly released his grip and leaned back: "After all, she was once my mentor. What did the scavenger mean by those words?"
"Do you still have feelings of sympathy or gratitude?" Yang Xiong’s mechanical voice remained as cold as ever: "The Heart of the Giant will automatically repair itself, capturing the first being that approaches it. This scavenger wasn’t scavenging by choice."
"We disconnected the Heart of the Giant from her, and this was her only chance. She wanted to swap bodies with Maku to escape, but she didn’t get the chance."
Moon Side nodded knowingly, his gaze fixed on the screen displaying the spreading black fog, calmly saying: "There are two points now: the missing mage, who is likely at the Heart of the Giant, and South Spirit City’s missile strike, which could directly destroy you."
"It doesn’t matter; it will be over soon."
Buzz~
A loud rumble suddenly exploded in the black fog, with thousands of mechas continuously loading ammunition, firing missiles and lasers simultaneously.
In an instant when the two Legendaries died, the battle shifted its focus.
A hysterical ghostly wail erupted from the black fog, with the vague outlines of figures slicing through some of the mechas. Instantly, the mechas short-circuited, sparking with electric fire, and even some energy circuits shorted, with flames gradually lighting up.
The machinery was being significantly cleared, and every shadowy silhouette passing by could take away a mecha. Gradually, the black fog gained the upper hand.
"The madness before death, but losing too much is not good either. Let’s see what you do, Moon Side."
Yang Xiong’s voice was very calm: "Once I eradicate the blood poison, I can claim the Heart of the Giant, and by then, everything will be ours."
"Okay." Moon Side said coldly, extending several mechanical tubular structures from his arm that connected to the mecha he was in. His space ring glowed as golden spheres were continuously grasped by the tubular structures and inserted into the mecha.
Buzz~
The mechanical rumble echoed, with several cannon muzzles emerging from the top of his mecha, among which golden spheres were faintly visible.
As some kind of energy accumulated, the cannon roared.
Golden spheres followed a perfect arc, falling into the black fog.
Ai Nuan looked at the object at her feet, her pupils contracting suddenly. Legendary-level energy erupted abruptly, trying to extinguish it.
But the next moment, the brilliance of the Fierce Sun exploded in Sin City, with one golden sphere forcibly suppressed by Legendary Power, but more golden spheres quickly began to exude the might of the Fierce Sun.
Lighting up the entire city as bright as day.
"Ahhh....."
Each small Sun cleared patches of black fog, also cleansing numerous wandering souls among it. The Legendary domain quickly dissolved under the Fierce Sun, and the mechanical army began encroaching, making Ai Nuan’s face look unsightly.
How could there be Sun Attribute explosives?
When did such things appear?
She kept dodging the tyrannical suppression of Solar Energy, gradually falling behind.
Moon Side calmly watched, with golden spherical objects continuously appearing from a ring. His work at Baiyi involved extracting Solar Energy, making him very skilled at crafting Sun Salutations.
Although he could only use the second version of Sun Energy, the instant-detonation Sun Salutations without inert materials, after continuous compression, were enough to cleanse the domain of the Evil Spirit.
After all, the Sun naturally counters the Undead.
[It’s almost time... when the victory is decided, this will be my gift to you... to repay your kindness...]
Moon Side looked eastward, with the AI frantically calculating win rates and all possibilities, the immense computational power preventing Yang Xiong from reading his thoughts, but seeing Ai Nuan’s impending weakness under the army’s siege.
Even Yang Xiong’s usually calm mind began to waver gradually.
It’s near... everything will be his!
The AI in his eye continued calculating, with numerous machines frantically surging towards the black fog of the Evil Spirit.
These machines seemed to have high resistance to the Sun, able even to traverse through the remnants of the Sun Salutations, continuously slaughtering the wandering souls, approaching that Legendary Evil Spirit.
The Legendary Evil Spirit gradually went mad, but under the AI’s tactical strikes, the disadvantaged Evil Spirit was gradually forced into a desperate situation.
The sky gradually reached dusk.
This moment also marked the time Baiyi reached Wei Sea.
A portion of the mechanical legion’s extraction of the blood poison also reached a peak.
The computational power of Moon Side’s AI grew larger, calculating more and more things, with his eyes gradually becoming blood-red.
"What are you thinking?" Yang Xiong couldn’t help but ask, as Moon Side’s AI computational power was nearing his AI’s level.
However, he could still decipher these algorithm processes, but... couldn’t see his true thoughts.
"It’s about to begin, I’m calculating my chances of survival." Moon Side said flatly, suddenly including South Spirit City’s situation into the enormous computational power.
Yang Xiong was taken aback, as he saw the scene of missiles launching and the departure scene of the powerful City Lord in Moon Side’s calculations.
South Spirit City is joining the battle, and... not just that Level 80 Ice Mage, but also other legislators!
The only relief for Yang Xiong is that no Legends have arrived!
"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
Yang Xiong asked coldly, but then he nonchalantly said: "No matter, it was anticipated. We should hide underground first; those missiles can help us speed up."
Moon Side nodded: "Okay."
Boom boom boom....
The missile strikes arrived abruptly, severely injuring the Legendary Evil Spirit, who unwillingly screamed, abandoning its greed for the Heart of the Giant amidst the encirclement of intercontinental missiles and Sun Salutations, and very reluctantly flew out of Sin City.
Amidst the explosion’s roar, the blood poison was quickly eradicated as well.
With the arrival of two top-tier Golds from South Spirit City, and after the intercontinental missile roar ceased on the land, the Federation’s power began to emerge.
Moon Side remained very steady, quietly waiting underground.
He saw the two Golden Upper Tiers quickly injured by Yang Xiong, and also saw the Evil Mage’s attempt to steal the Heart of the Giant’s array being destroyed.
He watched Yang Xiong, like a machine, swiftly take control of the scene, clearing out all third parties.
Moon Side’s mouth curved slightly up: "It’s time..."
"What?"
Moon Side shook his head, suddenly locking eyes with Yang Xiong: "You’re a failed product, and I really don’t like it. An Alchemist dislikes what they don’t like..."
Yang Xiong still looked confused: "You... you’re not supposed to have a reason, and this is suicide!"
Suddenly, he felt a tremendous suction rising before him, with the genius youth slowly dropping his arm, merely smiling as he watched him.
In Yang Xiong’s heart, a fear rooted in his soul abruptly surged: "What is this? How could it be? When?"
