Chapter 172: 172 sticky

Self-Destruction?

Hilarious.

Little do they know, how many fools overestimate themselves, trying to imitate the classic act of self-destruction from that silly boss, but all end up as laughable flops!

It’s like an ugly woman trying to mimic Xi Shi’s frown!

As the saying goes, don’t work with porcelain if you don’t have the diamond drill-bit — to trigger a mecha’s energy system for self-destruction requires immense control power, doesn’t it? Besides, the energy reserve of an antique mech is actually very limited. That silly boss who self-destructed managed to do so by using his strong spiritual power to forcibly compress several particle cannons, creating an incredibly dense and powerful one. He even cleverly utilized the opponent’s firing, successfully detonating himself and killing the enemy.

In short—

Everything that seems simple and easy is not really so easy to imitate.

Ever since the combat video went viral last night, tonight’s fight saw dozens, if not hundreds of warriors, or, let’s say, fools, attempting to use antique mechs to self-destruct, cost-free, to kill the enemy and win the match.

And the result?

A face-slapping spectacle, utterly tragic.

Whether it’s the spectators in the stands or Dominate the Universe on the battlefield, this is what everyone thinks of Ji You at this moment. She’s probably planning to cling close to the opponent’s mecha and then trigger her own mecha’s self-destruction.

Seeking death, huh.

Can such a measly amount of energy from that junk mech even create a spark when fully detonated?

Everyone is looking forward to it—

And then—

The audience wonders: "Huh?"

Why hasn’t she self-destructed yet?

Both the antique mech and Wind Wing are relatively small, especially the Wind Wing — a speed-type mecha, with a lightweight and agile body, all designed to optimize its speed.

Then—

The very advantage it prided itself on became Wind Wing’s disadvantage at this time. After Ji You embraced the Wind Wing, she held on tight to Wind Wing’s head, with the entire mecha attached to the opponent’s body. The pilot of Wind Wing, Dominate the Universe, tried to exert force to shake off Ji You, but then, Dominate the Universe realized a horror:

This thing is like a sticky plaster, impossible to shake off!

Damn it!

Dominate the Universe was not willing to play the monkey for others’ entertainment. He immediately drew out a cold weapon, the Xuantie Sword, and stabbed backwards.

Click—

The sword, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, stabbed straight into the cockpit of the antique mech, instantly creating a crack in the window.

But Ji You remained unmoved, still clinging tightly to the opponent’s head.

Firmly.

Tightly.

As if they were going to embrace until the end of time, even if someone suddenly told Ji You, "Your husband has taken your sister-in-law and absconded with the money," she wouldn’t let go.

This scene—

Spicy Eye!

Audience A: "Hey, what’s going on? Why can’t they shake off this sticky plaster?"

Audience B: "Is this guy from a superglue background?"

Audience C: "Watch the show! Watch the show! I’m recording this! Mother of god, what is this earth-shaking romance?"

Audience D: "Damn it! Why bother fighting at all? Please, immediately, right here, get married!"

Listening to the noise around, Dominate the Universe touched the cold sweat on his forehead: Can’t these idiots who love watching the excitement say something human?

At this moment—

The trouble Dominate the Universe is facing isn’t just that he can’t shake off the clinging opponent, but— the opponent is actually launching a spiritual attack on him.

The two are so close that even with a protective shield and the thick mechanical shell and cockpit between them, somehow Ji You’s spiritual power is stubbornly seeping in.

Dominate the Universe’s cold sweat instantly covered his entire face.

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

The impact intensifies—

Dominate the Universe dared not be distracted any further, tightly controlling his mech while he slashed at his opponent with all his might! Since their mechs were glued together, there was no room to use the Particle Cannon or other heat-based weapons, for fear of hurting both the enemy and himself.

Only cold weapons were practical now.

One sword.

Two swords.

Three swords.

...

After countless chops, he finally struck the opponent’s cockpit. Dominate the Universe was elated and decided to make a decisive strike towards the opponent’s body.

Right at that moment—

Firmly gripping the Wind Wing and seemingly doing nothing, Ji You suddenly focused intently and with a forceful stretch of the mech’s arm, snatched away the opponent’s Xuantie Sword, and in a swift motion, slashed at the enemy’s neck—

Now’s the chance!

Dominate the Universe, not startled but pleasantly surprised, saw that his opponent was only hanging on with one hand. It was the perfect time to break free. He violently swung his mech body and pulled out his cannon barrel, ready to brutally finish off the vulnerable adversary.

However—

Ji You still clung firmly onto him, not falling off.

Dominate the Universe’s face turned completely dark.

What the hell?

Was this sticky nuisance really impossible to shake off?

In the unseen realm, Ji You gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, Second, Third... my six brothers, now’s the time to put you to the test. I’m going to intentionally expose a weakness; when you see it, furiously attack the opponent’s cockpit Spiritual Connector, got it?"

Boss perked up his head.

Second quickly followed.

Third braced himself for battle.

Fourth’s short stature surged to countless times its size, almost overshadowing the large figure of Boss. Seeing this, Ji You felt somewhat speechless, apparently having underestimated Fourth’s shrewdness.

Old Five, dragging his weakened body, was also ready for action.

Sixth stared intensely at a spot, full of concentration, motionless.

...

In the Spiritual World, all the lazy bums, stirred by the current situation, were like chickens injected with adrenaline, hell-bent on reclaiming their pride. This wouldn’t do!

This was not just a battle for dignity!

This was a battle for territory!

In this world, there was no land their brotherhood of six couldn’t conquer!

The six lazy bums, each provoked uniquely by Ji You’s words, were so stimulated that their blood boiled with excitement! They were eager to expand their territory and sweep the enemies clean!

Ji You: "Get ready—"

At the same time, the beads of sweat on Dominate the Universe’s forehead grew larger and larger, like peas, one by one rolling down! What’s going on? That hair-raising feeling was growing stronger?

But—

How could this be?

He was an S-level in spiritual power, perfectly capable of withstanding any ordinary Spiritual Attack.

Audience A: "These two are at it again!"

Audience B: "An eternal attachment, this is."

Audience C: "If you don’t start fighting, don’t blame us for throwing rotten eggs at you!"

Audience D’s expression intensified: "Something’s strange, are they clashing with spiritual power? But—it doesn’t quite look like it! Not right— such a strong pressure, who is it?"

Crack—

Ji You’s grip on the opponent’s head transmitted a slight crackling noise, and Dominate the Universe immediately seized the opportunity, launching a frenzied attack—

Ji You gritted his teeth: "Go!"

Boom—

Dominate the Universe’s complexion suddenly went pale, and he screamed out loud in an instant.
