#360 - Chapter 360: War Machines from Ancient Times
“Just one minute left.”
“The reckoning is almost here.”
Looking at the scarlet eyes flickering in the tunnel ahead, Liu Zixin couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, if the War College hadn't provided Wu Wei and Su Yingxue with an hour of "absolute safety" as compensation, Liu Zixin would have rushed into the tunnel long ago to eliminate those two.
“What a pity.”
“No matter how much I hate you two, the rules of the War College must be followed.”
“Just like those old guys say, without rules, there can be no order.”
“Because the War College's existence itself is a mixture of countless rigid rules.”
After saying that, Liu Zixin moved when the minute was up.
He directly pulled out the scepter from his waist and pointed it at the tunnel not far away.
“Attack!”
However...
Liu Zixin's ridiculously old-fashioned and extremely chuunibyou-like behavior wasn't just for show.
The reason he did this was to summon the arrival of a certain terrifying existence!
Rumble!
Suddenly, the space surrounding the tunnel where Wu Wei and Su Yingxue were located was distorted.
A huge, rainbow-like dimensional rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the tunnel.
Surrounding the dimensional rift were endless, terrifying dimensional storms.
Every time these storms swept across an area, everything on that land would be blown away, and the violent spatial power hidden within was something even demigods wouldn't dare to step into easily.
You think these dimensional storms are scary?
No.
This is just the prelude to the arrival of that terrifying existence!
The truly terrifying existence has not yet arrived.
Boom...
With the roar of countless engines.
That dimensional rift, radiating rainbow colors, was completely opened.
And when it was completely opened, countless air rushed into that area extremely quickly.
The reason for this was that the other end of the dimensional rift was the absolute vacuum of space!
And that so-called terrifying existence "lived" within it!
It was a war machine left over from ancient times!
A still-functioning, intelligent laser cannon satellite!
It had a mechanical body comparable to the size of a comet, and on this massive mechanical body were old but still-functioning solar panels.
With its activation, the entire space was illuminated slightly.
Even, beneath its mechanical body, were several laser cannons dozens of meters long.
“Beep beep beep....”
As air rushed in, the area finally began to emit sound normally.
Because of this, every lord on this continent looked in the same direction.
Because each of them felt a fatal pressure from that direction.
“Machine Soul Type-3 system is online, self-check in progress, self-check failed, backup system activated!”
“Beep beep beep!”
“Attack guidance device detected!”
As the giant intelligent laser cannon satellite continued to emit sounds, the "scepter" in Liu Zixin's hand finally finished booting up.
At the top of his scepter, some old control buttons and a laser guidance device suddenly appeared.
When Liu Zixin aimed the laser guidance device at the tunnel, he pressed the button on the scepter extremely quickly.
“Beep, target has been guided, energy accumulation complete!”
“Three-shot bombardment in preparation, fire!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The muzzle of that giant intelligent laser cannon satellite began to gather energy.
But the energy gathering didn't even last two seconds, this extremely short process ended.
What replaced it was a terrifying bombardment!
Three energy shells radiating a light blue color roared through the spatial rift, crossed two major planes, and then directly hit the tunnel below.
And this originally dark and deep tunnel was almost instantly ignited.
It was first illuminated by the first energy shell, then bombarded until it collapsed, and then during the collapse, the second shell forcibly ended the collapse process, once again illuminating the entire area, and then the similar third shell....
The stable structure of the entire continent was temporarily altered slightly by these three attacks.
Not only Wu Wei and Su Yingxue, but all the lords on this continent felt the impact of these three bombardments.
A "new tunnel" more than twice as wide as the original tunnel appeared in the place of the original tunnel.
The air was filled with the burnt smell of electromagnetic collisions, and the endless static electricity made the hair of the surrounding people stand on end.
Under such a terrifying attack, the creatures at the front of the tunnel could not possibly have survived.
But looking at this tunnel that he had artificially expanded, Liu Zixin couldn't help but smile.
Because he was different from Wu Wei.
He, Liu Zixin, possessed a true family inheritance!
The giant intelligent laser cannon satellite he had just used was one of the inheritances his family had given him!
With this war machine, Liu Zixin often didn't need to take action himself to solve more than ninety percent of his problems.
As for the remaining ten percent, usually three more shots were needed.
This type of giant war machine was an absolute symbol of strength.
But wanting to possess this type of giant war weapon from ancient times, simply being rich wasn't enough.
Status was far more important than money!
Thinking of this, Liu Zixin couldn't help but show a disdainful expression towards the tunnel below.
“Hmph, no matter how good you are at attracting attention, no matter how good you are at getting others to notice you, your origins determine that you are destined to be just a clown.”
But just after saying this, the scepter in Liu Zixin's hand made a sound.
“Bombardment complete!”
“Energy remaining at sixty percent!”
“Do you need to conduct a second bombardment?”
“No!”
Liu Zixin refused the request to conduct a second bombardment, after all, in his opinion, Wu Wei's army below the tunnel, encountering this level of attack, didn't need a second one.
But things often developed so strangely.
Just as Liu Zixin said that no.
The scepter in his hand suddenly let out a horrifying sneer!
“No?”
“Are you sure?”
The moment he heard this voice, Liu Zixin only felt his scalp tingle.
But what made him feel even more terrified was that the scepter in his hand, which was originally just a dead object, a machine, had unexpectedly transformed and grown an eye at some point!
And this eye was looking at him with extremely deep malice.
“Hahaha, you really don't need a second bombardment?”
Electronic Demon Kor, laughed loudly using the loudspeaker in the scepter.
“If you don't need it, then it's my turn!”
Kaka kaka....
The giant laser cannon satellite in the sky slowly rotated.
And this time their target was no longer the tunnel where Wu Wei was located.
“After all, what you just did has made the lord I serve very annoyed!”
