The Legendary Mechanic c1-1385

by Chocolion, 齐佩甲

  Womre was left alone, and not long after, he was also captured alive due to the attacks of the Apostle Weapons, Mysterious Energy Host, and Hila.

  Nonetheless, them staying there was not meaningless. Sierron and Crystal Soul had already escaped into the Federation of Light’s fleet, and the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device’s preheating was complete.

  Hu!

  Two enormous mechanical rings span at an extremely quick speed, faster and faster, till the afterimages formed a sphere that shrouded the area around the fleet.

  Sierron turned back one last time, glared at Kasuyi, and then looked at Han Xiao.

  “Black Star, you captured our people. The federation won’t let this go easily! Just you wait!”

  Buzz!

  The speed of the two rings suddenly stopped, and the fleet inside the sphere area disappeared, leaving only the unmanned fleet and the mechanical army behind.

  The next moment, the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device activated the self-destruction sequence and exploded.

  As the federation’s people left, the atmosphere became much quieter.

  “Only two escaped on the federation’s side.” Han Xiao stopped. His eyes sparkled as he looked in another direction, where the few Beyond Grade As of the church had already fled.

  This time, Kasuyi’s voice sounded in his mind. “What, after capturing three federation Beyond Grade As and one church Beyond Grade A, are you still not satisfied?”

  Han Xiao looked at Kasuyi and saw his calm expression.

  “Thanks.” Han Xiao deactivated the Mechanical Deity and nodded at Kasuyi.

  Without Kasuyi’s help, he would have captured three Beyond Grade As at most. He had managed to capture four and destroy two Mechanic avatars, meaning he basically defeated half of all the enemies.

  The main reason he had achieved this was the Character Summon Cards he used, but other than that, Hila’s help and the Spacetime Amber were also crucial factors. That was especially so for the Spacetime Amber, which blocked a ton of long-range attacks, so he could put more effort into attacking, at the same time discouraging everyone from rushing his main body. Furthermore, he also had to rely on it to seal Beyond Grade As. Basically, at least twenty to thirty percent of the battle merit belonged to the Spacetime Amber.

  He had to say, Ravenlaude’s should-be treasure was really very useful.

  Although two of the four Beyond Grade As captures were newborn noobs and the other two were not particularly strong, they were still Beyond Grade As. They all had Molding Talents, so it all depended on Feidin this time.

  All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. As Han Xiao saw that Kasuyi had been staring at him, he retrieved the mechanical army that was chasing after the church’s people.

  The spacetime stabilization device was already gone by this point, so he directly activated the secondary dimensional army box and stuffed his remaining mechanical army in. He then used Dimension Factory to collect the parts all over the place to do repairs.

  While doing this, Han Xiao casually asked, “What are you going to do next, continue to escort the church’s people out?”

  “Hmm, when they arrive at a safe place with teleportation scrolls, I’ll release this doppelganger. You won’t chase after them anymore, will you?”

  Kasuyi smiled faintly while sighing in his mind.

  When was the last time anyone achieved something this incredible in this entire universe?

  When the results of this battle spread, god knows how much of a sensation it will cause.

  “I’ve promised you, so I won’t go back on my word… By the way, let me show you something.”

  Han Xiao waved and called Hila over.

  “Are you okay?” Hila stared at Han Xiao’s face and did not bother looking at Kasuyi at all.

  Although Kasuyi had come to help earlier, from the way she looked at it, the people of the church were still enemies. She did not know this was an Oscar-winning best actor.

  “I’m fine.” Han Xiao shook his head and said with a serious tone, “Ames is being attacked in Black Star Palace. Go back to help her and then send Silver Shadow over.”

  Hila was confused. “What do you mean? How am I going to go back to help her?”

  “I have some new technology that can teleport you back.”

  Han Xiao’s entire body started to glow. The King left his body with loud clanks and attached itself automatically onto Hila while still being connected to Han Xiao’s Mechanical Force.

  After many private tests, Han Xiao knew the mechanics of the King like the back of his hand. The King itself was a Mechanic-only equipment, and the teleportation function of the Throne was targeted at the user who was wearing the mechanical suit. However, if he maintained his Mechanical Force link to the King through the Quantum Infinite Distance Transmission Channel, even if someone else was in the mechanical suit, Han Xiao would still be able to activate this function and teleport the wearer of the mechanical suit to a fixed location.

  The Throne was about to arrive at the Black Star Palace, so Hila would be teleported right back to his base.

  Han Xiao turned around and realized that Kasuyi was looking at this with interest. Hence, he purposely activated a spacetime stabilization device to cover the area.

  Then, Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and the King disappeared without a trace right under Kasuyi’s nose.

  Kasuyi’s expression suddenly changed into shock. “This is… Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation? When did you learn the federation’s technology?”

  “It’s not Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation. It’s another technology, but the results are similar. It can also penetrate the restrictions of spacetime stabilization devices and disruptors,” Han Xiao said calmly.

  “Why didn’t you use this earlier?” Kasuyi said with resignation. If we knew you had this technology before, why would we even come to attack Hila?

  “I only recently obtained this technology.” Han Xiao nodded. Looking at Kasuyi’s expression, he knew that he had achieved his goal.

  He deliberately showcased the teleportation ability of the King to let others know that he had this technology. Otherwise, if the federation and the church did not give up, they might attack Hila again in the future, and he could not possibly always keep Hila hidden.

  Showing this trump card at this time would let the outside world know that Hila could escape anytime when attacked by enemies she could not win against. This way, the federation and the church would give up on this plan, and this incident would not repeat itself.

  In that case, Hila would be in a much safer situation, and no one would want to target her.

  Swoosh!

  At this time, the King appeared once again. The mechanical suit opened, showing Silver Shadow, who was still lost.

  “Hmm? Black Star? What is this place?”

  Silver Shadow was still confused as to what was happening.

  “Stop talking. I don’t have much time, and I need to borrow your body. When I’m done, I’ll let you use the Evolution Cube.”

  Han Xiao patted Silver Shadow’s shoulders, dragged him away, and was about to leave.

  Kasuyi was a little surprised.

  “It’s all over. Where are you going now?”

  “It’s not over for me yet. While my explosive powers are still here, I have another target I need to deal with.”

  “Who?” Kasuyi was curious.

  Han Xiao turned his head sideways and said with a deep voice, “Beast Ancestor, Gorutan.”

  Chapter 1055 - Silver Shadow Uber

  1055 Silver Shadow Uber

  A few minutes prior…Evil Convergence had appeared outside Black Star Palace, gradually changing the properties of the space around while continuously expanding.

  Within the affected area, the defense fleet continuously fired at the countless tentacles around, destroying one after another, only for more to appear again like they were endless.

  A
ccording to some studies that supported the energy conservation theory of all energy in the universe, the conservation of energy operated between multiple dimensions. In many tests in galactic civilizations, there would be examples of energy suddenly disappearing or appearing out of nowhere, and most of those were caused by the energy shift between the main universe and other dimensions.

  There were many ways a secondary dimension could be projected into the main universe. The method that Traveler used treated the secondary dimension like a bucket of water, and he opened a hole at the bottom of it to let the water inside flow into the main universe, causing corrosion.

  Traveler did not put much effort into it; he only opened a hole. The rest came naturally from the secondary dimension itself and exceeded the capabilities of individual power. Therefore, this was extremely difficult to stop, and the fleet at Black Star Palace would not be able to solve this problem very soon.

  In the middle of the battlefield, Ames was fighting intensely with Traveler. Powerful Force Fields clashed with the energy of Evil Convergence time after time, creating enormous aftershocks.

  The Force Field Esper Ability was good with defense and controlling. Together with her Void Talents, despite Traveler having the upper hand, he could not penetrate Ames’ defenses. However, Ames was not happy about it at all.

  The Evil Convergence is his territory. He has infinite energy here and can make me use my energy without fear. Dragging the battle out isn’t beneficial for me, Ames analyzed. She had to admit that Traveler was quite strong. He would be among the upper-middle tier even in the three Universal Civilizations.

  Although she had also become stronger in the past twenty years, she was still not strong enough to fight someone this powerful alone.

  “Your resistance is futile; your defeat is just a matter of time.” With increased corrosion of the Evil Convergence, Traveler’s aura became more and more evil.

  Ames ignored him and focused on controlling the force field to deal with the purple-green energy tentacles everywhere.

  In Black Star Palace’s watchtower, the various officers had serious looks on their faces. With the defense measures of Black Star Palace, they were not worried about the damage the Traveler might cause. What they were worried about was how Ames did not look like she was in a good situation. They kept commanding more fleets to join the battle to provide support.

  Silver Shadow had a poker face but was very tempted deep down. Although the Black Star Army’s officers did not ask him for help, seeing that Ames was at a disadvantage, he felt that it was time for him to put on a show.

  At this moment, a few spaceships with the Black Star Army’s symbol appeared from afar and approached.

  “Have these transport ships steer away from the battlefield and return from another direction,” Herlous said.

  These returning spaceships had been marked as transport ships long ago. Everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield at the moment and did not bother with the transport ships. They only glanced at them and went back to watching the battle between Ames and Traveler.

  However, the next moment, an alarm rang on the radar!

  “Alert! Alert! Beyond Grade A energy source detected!”

  “What‽”

  The various officers present were shocked. They quickly looked at the radar and realized that the energy source was in the transport ships.

  “Another enem…”

  They were instantly nervous.

  However, before they could respond, what happened next stunned all the officers.

  Buzz!

  The familiar death energy gushed out from the transport ship like a tsunami. Hila stepped on the tide and quickly approached Black Star Palace.

  “Deputy Army Commander Hila!”

  “Sis‽”

  They were stunned, and Aurora was even stupefied.

  Aren’t you at the frontlines? How did you suddenly appear here?

  If not because of the mind link, Aurora might have thought that this Hila was a fake.

  However, the most stunned person was Traveler. When he saw this, the maddened laugh he had on his face stiffened instantly.

  What the hell, why is Hila here‽

  His mission was to divert Black Star’s attention and help those who were attacking Hila to restrain Black Star… But since Hila was there, what were those people attacking? Air?

  What am I even trying to restrain here‽

  He could not figure out what was going on at all, so in the end, he blamed it all on Sorokin…

  What a scam! Giving me false information!

  Since Hila had appeared there, there was no point continuing the mission. He did not want to continue fighting the Black Star Army.

  Traveler decisively gave up on attacking Ames and instantly fled. Of course, Ames was not going to let him leave easily. Her focus shifted from defense to attack instantly.

  Hila glared at Traveler but did not instantly join the battle.

  She remembered Han Xiao’s words and quickly entered the watchtower. She had no time to talk to the confused officers and headed right to Silver Shadow.

  “Wear this mechanical suit. Black Star wants to see you.”

  “Huh?” Silver Shadow was at a loss.

  “No time to explain, get in.”

  Hila deactivated the King, and it automatically attached itself onto Silver Shadow.

  The next moment, Silver Shadow disappeared without a trace.

  After this was completed, Hila finally had the time to take a deep breath.

  The officers around approached her immediately.

  “Why are you here? Where’s His Excellency Black Star?” Hadavy asked.

  When this matter was brought up, Hila felt a pain in her heart, and her expression sank.

  The impression she gave to the army officers had always been cold, proud, and powerful. Therefore, when she looked this hurt, the officers were all shocked and started guessing with a pessimistic mindset.

  Did… something horrible happen to their commander‽

  “Sis…” Aurora noticed Hila’s sorrowful emotions and held her hand with a worried look on her face.

  “I owe him… too much.” Hila closed her eyes and clenched her teeth as if she was talking to herself. “How can I ever pay you back for what you’ve done for me?”

  …

  At this time, Han Xiao led Silver Shadow away from the wrecked frontline stronghold. The players and the other warriors would take care of cleaning up the battlefield. He wanted to make some trouble for Gorutan while the effects of the Character Summon Cards still lasted.

  Hila was attacked, and the information had come from Gorutan. Although, given how unique Hila’s ability was, she would have experienced this sooner or later, this did not mean that Han Xiao would let Gorutan off easy.

  On the way to Gorutan’s territory, Han Xiao gave Silver Shadow his request…

  “You want to use my body?”

  Silver Shadow’s face was filled with dismay.

  He could not understand the King’s effects, nor did he dare ask. He was originally confused as to why he had been summoned there by Black Star. Now, when he heard what Han Xiao said, he panicked completely.

  So, this is the kind of person you really are, Black Star! My body is what you wanted!

  “That’s what I meant, but I feel like you’ve misunderstood something,” Han Xiao said with resignation. “I just want you to help me. Treat it as a deal to use the Evolution Cube.”

  “You startled me. I thought you wanted to capture me and make me a special weapon like the Mechanic Emperor does.” Silver Shadow was relieved.

  “Oh, that’s not entirely wrong.” Han Xiao coughed, changed the topic, and said seriously, “Your body has a hidden characteristic. When you awaken it, you can turn yourself into a special Universal Treasure. This is exactly what I need you to do, to transform and help me.”

  “How do you know that?” Silver Shadow was curious. Even he did not know about that him
self, so how did someone else know more about his own body than him?

  “Remember the first time we met? When we sparred, I controlled your body and did a detailed scan. Back then, I noticed that there’s a secret hidden in your body. You might have undergone some kind of mutation when turning into a Beyond Grade A.” Han Xiao started to use his talent for deception without breaking a sweat.

  The truth was, he had poked Silver Shadow long ago and seen his attributes, which already had the ability to become a Universal Treasure inside.

  However, normal people did not have the interface, so they could not know all their own abilities like the players, and Silver Shadow was one such example. He did not know that he had such an ability.

  In a situation like this, as long as he guided him to make him notice this hidden ability, he might be able to use it straight away.

  “Alright then, what should I do?” Silver Shadow barely accepted this explanation.

  “Try to sense while thinking about it?”

  Han Xiao did not have an exact method. In the past, Silver Shadow did not think about anything related to this at all, but now that he made him realize that, he might be able to awaken this ability instantly.

  Doubtful, Silver Shadow held on to the thought of transforming into a Universal Treasure and controlled his body to slowly change shape.

  His silver body quickly turned into a pile of liquid metal that constantly changed shape as he looked for the right feeling.

  After some time, the pile of liquid metal suddenly gave off a strange energy. Silver Shadow actively crawled up Han Xiao’s body. The silver liquid metal shrouded Han Xiao’s entire body and turned him into a silver man.

  “I really do have this ability!” Silver Shadow was shocked by himself.

  Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled. He looked at the notification on the interface and smiled with satisfaction.

  “Didn’t I tell you? You did have hidden potential.”

  The interface was showing that Silver Shadow had already turned into Universal Treasure grade equipment and he was wearing it, which allowed him to share Silver Shadow’s incredible defense and speed, while at the same time giving him quite a few new abilities.
