Chapter 336: Revenge of the Fool
Star Spirit Realm, Clockwork City.
Countless combat mechas were on standby, surrounding the building in front that had just been bombed into ruins.
Just a minute ago, Clockwork City had just announced that it had entered an emergency wartime state.
In the wartime state, all production work in the city automatically stopped, and all combat robots maintained the highest power standby operation, ready to receive combat orders at any time.
"Block it, block it all, don't let a single bug escape! Also, open all the space shielding devices in the city, and never let this guy escape!"
Barney Wade, who had just rushed out of the goblin laboratory, stood on the top of a manned robot in a rage, jumping and jumping, and his eyes were blazing, making the surrounding goblins silent.
At this time, a biological detector rolled over and reported the scan results to the goblins: "No biological energy was detected in the ruins ahead!"
The goblins looked at each other, and one of the goblin combat commanders looked back at Barney: "Elder Barney, are you still firing?"
In fact, they haven't figured out what the enemy is yet. They just heard that Elder Barney was attacked in the laboratory, and they subconsciously thought that the invader must be a certain tribe of intelligent creatures.
Now that the biological scan has not scanned any results, there are only two possibilities: either this person has escaped or he has died.
"Continue, what if my Destroyer is damaged? Three legendary devices, do you know how much they are worth?" Barney cursed.
The goblin commander was aggrieved and didn't dare to say more.
Elder Barney seemed particularly irritable today, but this is understandable. After all, the hard work of half a lifetime of research was wiped out by someone, and the blow he suffered was hard for ordinary people to imagine.
"Exploration robot, come on!" Barney shouted at the robot army behind.
More than a dozen robots with honeycomb-like materials on their heads appeared, passing other mechas and quickly coming to the front of the team. They crawled on the ground, and a large number of mechanical spiders the size of gravel suddenly emerged from the "honeycombs" on their heads, climbing towards the ruins in front.
Exploration robots, Mu You's sand spider nest was taken from this kind of robot.
There is nothing more useful than the tiny sand spiders for exploring in such ruins.
One by one, the sand spiders poured into the ruins of the building from the gaps on all sides, conducting a carpet search, and projecting the internal images onto the display of each exploration robot in real time, with extremely amazing efficiency.
After a while, the fastest group of sand spiders explored the bottom of the ruins.
"Found the target!"
An exploration robot was the first to make a mechanical sound, and projected the corresponding sand spider perspective onto the display behind it.
The goblins looked over in a hurry.
At the bottom of the ruins, there was a small triangular space supported by metal plates. On the ground lay a humanoid mecha with a silver-white skin and a streamlined body. Although the outer shell was mostly destroyed in the collapse of the ruins, it still looked very familiar.
"Destroyer?" Several goblins looked at Barney uncertainly.
Barney had shown the design of the Destroyer to his disciples, and many goblins recognized it.
"No, this is..."
Barney's eyes widened at this time, because he had discovered that the hands of the mecha on the screen were slowly moving, and with its movement, the damage to the whole body of the mecha was also repaired quickly...
The Destroyer was not yet completed, and the most important power reactor had not been added, so how could it move?
Other goblins also discovered this quickly.
If it wasn't the Destroyer, it could only be an invader! The invader was still alive? But why couldn't the biological monitor detect it?
[Automatic search circuit, fusion completed. ]
[Charge cannon, fusion completed. ]
[Active armor, fusion completed. 】
[Detected body integrity: 52%, active armor is automatically repairing...]
...
At this moment on Earth, messages kept popping up on Mu You's phone.
The three legendary devices were integrated one by one, and now his whole body has the following devices:
Internal parts: Ancient power furnace, automatic search circuit, chaos circuit, gel exoskeleton, cold coil, zero-element focusing chip.
External parts: Active armor, charging cannon, detection of sand spider nest, repulsion grenade manufacturing machine, harvester's golden knife, Eva storage box, floating machine gun, rapid-fire shotgun *2, strong magnetic attractor, old-fashioned freezing device, wall-walking device.
Three legendary items, five epic items, and ten rare items have basically reached the power limit of the ancient power furnace.
Of course, there are also many spare parts such as smoke spewing device, anti-gravity mechanical arm, and spare magic crystals, all stored in the 'Eva storage box', so that the accessories on the body can be switched at any time.
In addition to the storage function, this storage box can also create a self-destructing robot named "Eva". After being thrown out, it will automatically rush to the nearest enemy and self-destruct.
It can be said that his current outfit is the strongest combat suit he can match in the Clockwork City.
If there is no mission prop: "Golden Gear" to be taken, Mu You would have just put down the teleportation array and left in the laboratory.
After coming here, he was immediately buried alive by the building, and the various parts of the body were damaged to a considerable extent, but it doesn't matter. With the active mecha on the body, it will only take more than 20 seconds to repair.
[…Repair completed! Current body integrity: 100%. 】
Sure enough, the mecha was revived with full health while Mu You drank a mouthful of water.
Then, it was his turn to fight back!
At this time in the Clockwork City, the goblins were still watching the screen.
From the perspective of the sand spider, the mecha slowly stood up and raised its arms forward. A spiral barrel popped out from each of its arms.
This thing is not rare. Many people at the scene know it: the rapid-fire shotgun of the rat extermination robot!
The next second, the two barrels fired at the same time, and the scene was suddenly filled with flames and countless energy bullets flew everywhere.
The projection screen in front of everyone went out instantly. Not only that, the projection devices of other exploration robots around also went black one after another.
In just a few seconds, all the sand spiders in the ruins were wiped out!
The goblins were stunned. What on earth was this?
It was clearly a mecha in appearance, not a living thing, but why did the mecha disobey orders and even once held the elders of the goblin tribe hostage? Could it be that this mecha has developed self-awareness and learned to rebel?
"Boom!"
Before the goblins on the scene could figure out the situation, a cannon shot suddenly sounded from the ruins in the distance.
This cannon directly blasted an exit more than ten meters wide from the inside of the ruins. A hot beam of light shot straight to the sky from the exit at a 45-degree angle and disappeared in mid-air.
A few seconds later, the beam of light dissipated, and a white shadow jumped out of the exit like lightning. After slowing down in mid-air, everyone could see clearly that it was the silver-white mecha in the image just now.
Seeing the enemy appear, the combat mechas below immediately raised their weapons and aimed at the mecha above their heads.
But before they could open fire, they heard something under their feet. Looking down, a grenade that appeared at some point rolled to the center of the mechas.
The next second, the grenade exploded, and a strong air wave was generated from the explosion point. The mechas standing densely around suddenly fell to the ground and flew out uncontrollably. The scene was quite magnificent.
Repulsion grenades, as the name suggests, produce a strong repulsive force after the explosion, which can blow away all the surrounding enemy targets.
Although this thing is small in size, it is extremely powerful. The repulsion range after the explosion can reach a radius of 50 meters.
With just one grenade, Mu You cleared a wide enough landing area for him.
The next second, Mu You's mecha landed, and immediately raised his arms and gun barrels, and began to fire at the surrounding 360-degree rotation.
Flames sprayed, energy bullets danced, and the surrounding mechas were all hit at least once before they were ready to fight back, and all entered a state of chaos.
Then countless mechas counterattacked and fired at Mu You, but the 75% deflection rate in the chaotic state, coupled with the density of mechas on the scene, these attacks hit each other before hitting Mu You, you bombed me, I bombed him, and he bombed you, the scene suddenly became a mess, and there were constantly mechas scrapped in the chaos, automatically exploded, and detonated more mechas around them...
On the contrary, all the stray bullets and artillery rushing towards Mu You were blown up by shotguns in mid-air, and he didn't suffer any damage after fighting for a long time.
I have to say that this automatic aiming circuit is really too strong!
Mu You does not need to operate the game in reality. He only needs to keep firing at full power. The rest is directly handed over to the system AI. Anyway, no matter how many times he shoots, he can hit the target.
Speaking of mecha skin and game AI, it is also a very suitable combination. The human brain is strong in subjective initiative, but it may not be able to exert the upper limit of the mechanical body when controlling the machine, because there are many things that the human brain cannot react to, but AI can.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness shown by the game AI when controlling the mechanical skin is not worse than his own operation. Mu You simply turns on the game character's autonomous combat mode at this time. He is only responsible for making some key direction choices.
"Elder Barney, what is this?"
At this time, the goblin commanders on the periphery were already dumbfounded, and one of the goblins looked at Barney dully and asked.
What was seen in the video just now may be wrong, but now this thing has jumped out directly in front of everyone. The goblins can see clearly that this is indeed just a mecha, but it seems to have self-awareness and is launching a crazy attack on them. Moreover, the combat power it shows is quite terrifying. It can fight a mecha army alone without losing the upper hand!
"This is a mechanical life form..."
Looking at the picture in front of him, the old goblin Barney sighed, and a trace of pain and guilt flashed across his face.
"Mechanical life form... a living machine?"
"How is this possible?"
"Elder, are you kidding me..."
...
There were exclamations from all around, and the goblins looked at each other and instinctively began to question.
Looking at the confusion on the faces of the young goblins around him, Barney smiled bitterly. Of course, he understood why the younger generation questioned.
Mechanical life forms are things that only exist in legends, because giving non-living things the birth of autonomous souls is the domain of gods, and it is a taboo that ordinary creatures absolutely cannot touch.
But this taboo was realized by one person. More than a thousand years ago, that person's genius idea...
At that time, Barney was just a beginner alchemy apprentice, following his teacher and helping that person.
At that time, that person proposed this crazy idea of loading souls into machines.
However, no matter how shocking the idea was, the goblins were not interested in it, because this person's idea could only be realized by relying on the special talents of their race, and it was still a fantasy for other races.
Compared to this, the goblins were more interested in the other two researches that this person was conducting at the same time: the eternal power furnace and the fusion robot.
The fusion robot, as the name implies, can randomly mix all alchemical equipment together into a mechanical body.
The Destroyer that Barney created today was actually inspired by this person at that time, but its level was limited and it could only achieve a small part of the fusion, while that person's idea was to fully fuse and any alchemical body could be used immediately!
At that time, all the goblins thought he was just dreaming, including Barney himself, and thought that such a mecha that could fuse everything would never appear.
Facing everyone's doubts, that person just smiled and did not make any excuses.
Later, the eternal power furnace was born. The power of this thing was far beyond everyone's imagination. With just this furnace, all the alchemical equipment in the city could be driven!
The goblins were all intoxicated by its magic. Someone secretly calculated that if the goblins could keep this thing, they could instantly speed up their civilization process by hundreds of years...
Under such a huge temptation, the goblins became greedy and betrayed, ambushing and killing that person, robbing the fruits of his labor, and letting this matter be forever sealed in history with the demise of the Fool Clan...
Until today!
Barney sighed as he looked at the silver-white mecha in the distance. The fusion mecha and mechanical life forms that they once considered impossible were all realized on this mecha!
At this point, it was too late to sigh and regret.
Barney knew the identity of the person inside this mecha very well: it must be the descendants of the Fools who had emerged recently. They drove back here with the legacy of their ancestors. Of course, the purpose could only be revenge and to take back the Eternal Power Furnace!
Thinking of this, the guilt in Barney's eyes disappeared and he became cold again.
It is now one of the leaders of the goblin tribe and is responsible for the entire tribe. No matter whether it was right or wrong in the past, since this person is now on the opposite side of them, he can only be eliminated!
"Let all long-range mechas cease fire, fight robots, seal the entire city, and kill him here!" Barney gave a new order with a serious face.
If it was just a simple fusion mecha, it would be fine, but according to the idea that the man had described, this new mecha will also inherit the innate camouflage ability of the fools and can disguise itself as other mechas at any time.
This is the ability that scares the goblins the most. This thing is too threatening to the clockwork city full of mechas. If he escapes today, they will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future!
