CIATB Chapter 167: The Shocked Crowd!
Chapter 167: The Shocked Crowd!
Zhang Yan's voice came through the loudspeaker.
Through electronic synthesis, it gains a touch of metallic coldness and hardness.
"alright."
"Warm-up complete."
The white tiger crouched slightly, assuming a pouncing posture.
Those scarlet electronic eyes locked onto the trembling ancient mechanical beast in front of it.
"Next."
"Let me teach you a lesson."
"That's what it's called..."
"Dimensional reduction attack".
The moment the words left his mouth, the white tiger moved.
There was no roar of an engine, no friction of metal.
Its massive body, like a white ghost, moved forward silently.
fast.
A speed that surpasses the limits of visual nerve response.
In the eyes of Li Zhan and the others, the steel tiger weighing tens of tons was just a blurry afterimage.
"roar--!"
The ancient mechanical spider there clearly also sensed a deadly threat.
It abandoned its attack on Li Zhan and the others, its eight scythe-like legs suddenly contracted, and its body arched high.
The crimson single eye in the center shone with light at its zenith.
A thicker, darker red energy beam, more intense than before, tore through the air like a scorching spear, piercing straight into the White Tiger's cockpit.
This was its last-ditch effort.
It gathers 80% of the body's energy.
Enough to cut a destroyer in two.
Faced with this devastating attack, the white tiger did not dodge.
It simply raised its left arm.
"Buzz—"
A soft, low hum.
The armor on Baihu's left arm unfolded layer by layer like flower petals.
A hexagonal honeycomb shield made of pure energy instantly opened up in front of it.
The dark red energy beam slammed into the shield.
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
That energy, powerful enough to melt everything, was like hitting an invisible wall, effortlessly absorbed by that energy shield as thin as a cicada's wing.
It didn't even cause a ripple.
"impossible!"
"Heavy Hammer," the member of the Dragon Scale Squad responsible for heavy firepower support, cried out in a trembling voice.
He stared blankly at the energy reading on his tactical goggles, which had plummeted from overload to zero in an instant.
absorb?
That wasn't resisting, nor was it deflecting.
It is purely energy-based, involving absorption and annihilation.
What the hell is this thing?!
The red light in the giant mechanical spider's single eye dimmed.
Its strongest attack failed.
In its simple "cleanup" process, for the first time, a data overflow called "Fear" occurred.
It wanted to back away.
But it was too late.
The white tiger's figure had already appeared in front of it.
The high-frequency oscillating particle claw drew a cold, silvery line through the air.
"laugh--"
There was no loud clanging of metal colliding.
There's only one kind of sound, similar to the sickening sound of a hot knife cutting butter.
The giant spider's forelimb, which was strong enough to pierce through the alloy ground, was cleanly severed at the root.
The cut is as smooth as a mirror.
At the cut, ancient bronze and iron are decomposing, turning into sand, and transforming into the most primitive metal powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The power of high-frequency vibrations destroys its structure at the molecular level.
"roar!"
The excruciating pain drove the mechanical giant spider completely insane.
Its remaining seven long legs, like seven wildly dancing scythes, blocked all the space for the white tiger to dodge from all directions.
However, the White Tiger never intended to dodge.
It simply performed a simple action.
Lift your foot.
Step down.
"boom!"
The white tiger's massive metal foot landed precisely on the bloated head of the mechanical giant spider.
The earth trembled violently.
That seemingly indestructible single eye, crafted from a special alloy, shattered like fragile glass before the face of absolute power.
The red light went out completely.
The colossal body of the mechanical spider crashed to the ground.
Eight long legs, still twitching nervously.
ended?
Li Zhan and the others hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A sudden alarm sounded from inside the remains of the giant mechanical spider.
"not good!"
Li Zhan's expression changed drastically. "It's going to self-destruct!"
"Retreat! Everyone, take cover!"
Qin Xiao was also startled and tried to run away with Zhang Yan.
However, Zhang Yan, inside the cockpit, merely let out a disdainful snort.
"Self-destruct in front of me?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
The white tiger's back armor slid open silently.
A menacing, futuristic electromagnetic railgun slowly rose into the air.
The cannon was aimed at the giant spider's remains, which were flashing wildly.
"Buzz—"
The energy rails on both sides of the cannon barrel lit up with a ghostly blue, electric light.
A powerful electromagnetic field rapidly converges inside the gun barrel.
No sound.
There was no fire.
Only one, thin as a hair, white ray of light flashed by.
The beam of light pierced precisely into the chest cavity of the mechanical giant spider.
next second.
"puff."
A very faint sound, like a bubble bursting, rang out.
That ancient mechanical beast was about to detonate its core, causing cataclysmic destruction.
And so, amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd.
From the inside out, it begins to collapse and disintegrate.
It turned into a pile of black, cold, metallic dust.
The wind blows.
Nothing was left.
The entire venue was deathly silent.
Li Zhan and his four teammates remained frozen in place, still in the position of searching for cover.
The guns in their hands fell to the ground and hit the insteps of their feet, but they were completely unaware.
They just stared blankly at the white mech that stood silently in the center of the arena.
The brain completely shut down.
From the appearance of the white tiger to the end of the battle.
The entire process takes no more than thirty seconds.
That terrifying monster that left them helpless, and they were even prepared to sacrifice themselves.
They were instantly defeated just like that?
Moreover, it was in a way that they could not understand at all, or even imagine.
Dimensionality reduction strike.
Only these four words remained in Li Zhan's mind.
He now finally understood what those four words truly meant.
It is an absolute, insurmountable technological gap.
It's a feeling of powerlessness, like an ant gazing at the stars.
It is a kind of ruthless crushing of mortals by the gods.
He looked at the white mecha, his eyes no longer filled with any doubt or contempt.
All that remained was the purest awe, and a trace of fear from the depths of the soul.
"Holy crap..."
Qin Xiao's voice broke the deathly silence.
His whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
It's not because I'm afraid.
It's because of extreme excitement!
He pointed at the white tiger that stood like a god, and roared incoherently.
"Gundam! It's Gundam! It really is Gundam!"
"A railgun! It's a damn electromagnetic railgun!"
"Brother Yan! Brother Yan is awesome!!"
"Yan-ge! I love you!!!"
He jumped and danced like a madman, tears and snot streaming down his face.
As a seasoned mechanical enthusiast.
The scene before him was more intoxicating than the world's strongest wine or the most beautiful woman.
This is the ultimate romance that belongs only to men!
"laugh--"
The cockpit on Baihu's chest slowly opened.
It emits a faint white mist.
Zhang Yan poked his head out from inside.
He glanced at the pile of metal dust at his feet, so unrecognizable that it was no longer tangible.
He glanced again at the Dragon Scale team members beside him, who seemed to be frozen in place.
Finally, their gaze fell upon Qin Xiao, who appeared to be insane.
He frowned, a hint of disgust on his face.
His calm and composed voice came through the loudspeaker.
"What are you yelling about?"
"One of the gatekeepers, problem solved."
"Keep going."
