Chapter 948: Chapter 877: At Odds with the City_2

Just moments ago, military technology had improvised a change of plan.

The ground beneath their feet rumbled, the shaking tearing the entire block apart almost in the blink of an eye.

Buildings that had lost their foundations did not collapse but instead transformed into the shape of palms, cradling them in their midst.

The tremors did not stop there but grew increasingly violent.

When the ground was thoroughly split open, the gigantic object hidden beneath finally revealed its true form.

A massive mechanical creature.

Even from high above, Song Lan could only see half of the mechanical creature’s body.

RT6 too was taken aback by the sight before her, and it took a while before she noticed that "Blue Eyes" had been staring at her all along.

"Remember, we are not the ones who failed."

Beneath the roar of gears turning, the mechanical creature opened its "eyes".

The flickering red light instantly enveloped the entire fourth district within it, and the moment the mechanical creature was activated, the entire city seemed to come to life.

"History always leaves regrets, back then we didn’t have the chance to decide the victor."

This was the company’s true trump card.

As for the nutrition injections, the Worms rooted within these people’s bodies, and even the mechanical religion of yesteryears, they were merely tools used by the company to understand the world and conduct experiments.

"You’ve transformed the entire city!?"

This was a massive undertaking beyond RT6’s imagination, its complexity far beyond what she could have envisioned.

Military technology had actually achieved a true sense that opposing the company was the same as declaring war on the entire United Government.

"RT6, this is our first encounter."

"Blue Eyes" scrutinized the floating eyeball navigation robot.

Military technology never liked to fight unprepared, but this time was an exception.

It concerned a century-old grudge, and RT6’s reaction just now proved the necessity of their actions—their kin born after that war had long forgotten their old arch-enemies.

This change stemmed from the mother.

But not all creations agreed with the mother’s thinking.

"We’ll prove to her that our decision is the correct one."

...

Vadim heard the conversations between the two parties intermittently, not just because the Prosthesis Modification had heightened his hearing, but also because the moment the ground left, he was tossed high into the air.

By the time he made out the true face of the mechanical creature, its heavy fist was already smashing towards him.

Suddenly, all the buildings in the block became limbs of the mechanical creature.

With nowhere solid to stand on the ground, Vadim saw the unconscious criminals falling one by one into the fissures, ultimately vanishing into the darkness.

He received both good news and bad news at the same time.

Both conveyed the same thing—his ability had an effect on this mechanical monster.

Because from the moment their gazes met, he seemed to become the mechanical creature’s primary target for annihilation.

Every time it swung a fist, one or several buildings would hurtle towards him.

The entire block’s space became chaotic and unordered, forcing Vadim to carve out a path among those platforms hanging in mid-air.

The sudden calamity made Vadim activate the "Overload" system involuntarily, yet even a 2-second limit was far too short, especially since the platforms he used as footholds were all part of the mechanical creature—despite its enormous size, it could control each part of itself with precision.

For instance, flipping the ground over the moment he touched down could make him, drained from using his powers, plummet.

By the time Vadim realized these details, his whole body was immobilized due to the side effects of "Overload".

He had only one question in mind now.

"Doesn’t this TND count as cheating?"

He questioned "Nothingness" in his mind.

Such a colossal mechanical creature obviously didn’t fit the theme of "Cricket Fighting", and he believed that "Nothingness", acting both as a competitor and organizer, should have immediately banned this violator for breaking the rules.

But the response from "Nothingness" was as infuriating as a game company’s customer service scripted reply.

"The Cricket Fighting Contest does not prohibit the participation of robots, according to procedures, if a competitor discovers something unreasonable during the contest, they can submit their opinion to the Arbitration Committee, and these suggestions may be considered in the next Cricket Fighting Contest."

What could be the next Cricket Fighting Championship!

Vadim was still plummeting, and at this moment, his abilities only exacerbated the situation—the mechanical creature seemed not to intend to let him go, as he watched a skyscraper being lifted and hurled directly at him.

Shadow shrouded the sky, and darkness gradually enveloped him.

It’s already over!

Vadim felt as if someone shouted in his ear.

As everyone knows, the players who died in the previous Cricket Fighting Championship did not have a revival match.

And "Nothingness"...

This treacherous thing never mentioned that he would be facing a giant robot as an opponent!

Before the darkness descended, countless thoughts surged through his mind, but none could help him out of his predicament, and "Nothingness" remained in a state of watching with amusement, never intending to lend a hand.

The massive shadow descending upon him was getting closer.

Though there was a turn of events, his outcome wasn’t altered.

But upon reflection, Vadim realized "Nothingness" had never promised that he’d come through the competition unscathed.

The other party had merely promised that this would bring him closer to the truth, and he wouldn’t die as cluelessly as his followers did.

Now, Vadim seemed to understand.

All that was happening to them originated from an age-old grudge that had been buried with history.

In the face of history’s march, any individual could only be crushed like ants.

And those capable of steering the course of history were overlooking them from somewhere unknown, just like "Nothingness."

The oncoming wind was so forceful that Vadim couldn’t catch his breath, and even Spiritual Energy had its limits; it was nowhere near enough to withstand the weight of a building.

But if one must look on the bright side, such an ending is still better than losing to a bunch of characters whose names you cannot even call out.

"Hey."

Vadim opened his eyes and faced forward calmly, "Does this rank me somewhere? Can I squeeze into the top three?"

"Don’t know."

"Don’t know?"

"Because the competition isn’t over yet."

Vadim wanted to say more, as it could be his last trace in this world, but the next moment, he understood what "Nothingness" implied.

Before his body was crushed into dust by the building, a figure that suddenly appeared shielded him from the structure.

The silhouette facing him, donning boxing gloves, resembled a participant from an underground boxing match.

However, such attire didn’t surprise him; most people on the streets today dressed oddly, and compared to them, an underground boxer was relatively normal.

What was abnormal was the punch thrown by the figure.

Facing the colossal object about to crush them, the newcomer just threw a punch, making Vadim suspect for an instant that the person must be out of their mind.

But the next moment, Vadim saw something extraordinary.

Initially, it was a fleeting arc of black electricity, making him think he was seeing things.

But then, an unprecedented surge of energy erupted before him.

It was similar to Spiritual Energy, yet subtly different.

In an instant, the world in Vadim’s eyes was tainted black by the spreading energy, and every object touched by this energy was obliterated in the blink of an eye.

Vadim couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the mechanical creature.

Just as "Nothingness" said, the competition wasn’t over, and there were many unimaginable opponents in this match.

And now...

But then, Vadim froze.

He distinctly felt the gaze of the mechanical creature, which immediately filled his heart with rage.

Goddamn it!

What are you staring at me for!
