Chapter 986
War in Progress Megatron Driven to the Brink
Even if they can't seize the AllSpark Cube with its layers of defenses, stopping Megatron from leaving shouldn't be a problem.
As for why they didn't take action, the reason is simple: there's no need to go through the trouble.
Because it was just as Megatron was about to disappear from this hall.
A whisper that filled the entire square then rang out.
"Swastika..."
Upon hearing those two words, Li Xiao subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
The Cybertronian jet that Megatron transformed into had barely been gone for a second.
A burst of light flashed.
A golden beam of light, much larger than a laser, descended from the sky, pressing down on Megatron, who had just left, and sending him back the way he came.
It smashed directly into the center of the hollow.
"Oh!"
It made a terrifyingly loud noise upon landing.
Because of the immense force, the entire metal surface vibrated, creating a blurry wave before cracking inch by inch.
It is obvious that the sunken plaza without the Spark Cube no longer possesses the incredible ability to absorb kinetic and energy.
The terrifying golden beam of light did not disappear after it landed; instead, it became even more dazzling.
At this moment, a powerful shockwave filled the entire space.
The robots in the square were shaken so badly they were knocked over.
Even Li Xiao and Chu Xuan used their arms to shield themselves.
The figure that descended from the sky and pressed Megatron back the way he came was none other than Zhao Yingkong.
Within the golden pillar of light, the girl's slender body seemed to weigh a ton.
Megatron was crushed to the ground and unable to move.
"Humans! Despicable humans!!"
I'm going to kill you all!
As they sank deeper and deeper into the metal ground.
Megatron's outer shell color is constantly shifting between light and dark at an extremely rapid pace.
Its bright, fiery white color grew brighter and brighter until it was comparable to the radiance of Zhao Yingkong after her Bankai.
And that's how it ended in this stalemate.
Chu Xuan's voice echoed in the minds of those present:
"Let's go together!"
Sensing an opportunity, Li Xiao did not hesitate to activate the destruction mode.
An explosion is the collision and activation of two different types of energy within the body.
Destruction, on the other hand, involves compressing this burst of energy within the body to achieve a further breakthrough.
The reason Li Xiao was able to perfectly replicate this self-created skill was...
Ninety percent of the credit goes to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill that was chosen initially.
When the two energies collided and surged throughout the body, the physical body, once again enveloped in golden light, became even more profound.
If someone looks closely, they will find it.
Although Li Xiao is not as radiant as he was when he first activated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
However, as a violent aura appeared, all the muscles and veins on his body bulged.
Its swollen body surface resembled gold and jade, with some incomplete runes faintly visible on the surface.
Because he didn't have a mirror, Li Xiao was unaware of the subtle changes happening to him.
As everything in his line of sight slowed down, Li Xiao lifted his foot and stepped into thin air.
The air beneath their bare feet was twisted and exploded.
The powerful kinetic energy that burst forth propelled him to be the first to rush forward.
As the battle progressed, the camouflage uniform, which was originally specially modified to withstand even ordinary swords and knives, was now reduced to just pants on Li Xiao.
Meanwhile, Chu Xuan, speaking from his mental space, said:
"Next step, increase the speed tenfold!"
With that, he took a step forward, his figure also breaking through his own limits.
On the other side, Chen Zilong leaped into the air, his body stretched into a long bow, and after reaching his limit, he shot out the long staff in his hand.
The other robots, sensing the danger to their leader, also quickly recovered from their shock.
The elite robots, especially those equipped with phase matrix defense, react even faster.
One by one, they transformed into primitive mechanical shapes.
Some were floating tanks spewing flames, some were helicopters covered in electric light, and there were even dozens of streamlined shuttles.
These demagogue elites charged recklessly, one after another.
The fastest laser bird was the first to block Chu Xuan's path.
Having learned its lesson, the Laser Bird immediately deployed its mechanical wings the moment it saw the gun barrel raised.
The pent-up shockwave was released instantly.
Looking at the transparent waves rolling in mid-air, Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged as always.
Only his mouth was slightly open.
"Next step, we will advance to within ten meters of it!"
Then he took another step forward.
The figure that had suddenly rushed forward was suddenly darkened.
It was as if Chu Xuan had been stripped of the real world, and only reappeared after the shockwave subsided.
At this moment, the laser bird is exactly ten meters away.
At the same time, hundreds of needle-like bullets, with incredible arcs, all hit the Laser Bird's main body.
The Laser Bird, having absorbed a large amount of AllSpark energy, emitted a dazzling light, just like Megatron had just done.
It's obvious that this one has a greater defensive capability than the other robots?
Just when Laserbeak thought it could withstand the attack, a figure with a powerful aura flashed in front of it.
He gave a muttered snort.
The golden palm stopped the needle-like bullets with a twist and a twitch, then slammed it down.
A metallic crushing sound rang out.
Li Xiao and Chu Xuan, both radiating golden light, had already broken through the laser bird's defenses.
The dazzling explosions behind them merely added a few more colors to this battlefield out of thin air.
The Ironclad Soldiers burst through the air, splitting into countless sharp spears that crashed down in the direction of Megatron.
At that very moment, the Bankai dissipated.
Megatron braced his hands against the spear aimed at his head, his torch-like gaze fixed on the girl who had raised her sword once more.
No, it's not just young girls.
In that instant, two more uninvited guests appeared in front of him.
Chu Xuan and Li Xiao aimed at the energy core on Megatron's chest.
Zhao Yingkong looked at the metal cube that Megatron had placed inside his body below the core.
Two flying swords followed closely behind.
Chu Xuan also pointed the two short guns in his hands at the leader and pulled the trigger.
Upon realizing the deadly danger after being instantly surrounded and brought close, Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, gave up resisting the Willful Ironclad soldiers in front of him.
He withstood the damage from the spear, then slammed his free hands down on his body.
This was as if some mechanism had been triggered.
A dazzling light burst forth from his chest and instantly connected to the AllSpark Cube on one side.
Then, the blue energy, distorting space, surged through Megatron's entire body and then rushed into the metal ground. At the same time, the originally brightly colored metal shell began to dim rapidly.
The moment the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and Chu Xuan's bullets were about to strike, the brilliance representing the phase matrix defense was completely lost.
At this moment, the three members of the Zhongzhou team were only a few meters away from the Fireseed Cube.
But it was at this moment.
The entire underground area of the square exploded!
The intense energy erupted instantly, engulfing Li Xiao, Chu Xuan, Zhao Yingkong, and Chen Zilong without exception.
This sudden explosion transcended the concept of thermal weapons; it was more like a mass of energy with destructive properties that was constantly expanding.
After the energy burst out, it affected everything, from the metallic floor and walls to the layers of ceiling outside.
They all begin to melt and then evaporate, and this phenomenon continues to expand as energy diffuses.
Within seconds, most of the building, which had barely survived the nuclear explosion, was gone.
The metals that were originally hard now melted into air and disappeared, just like snow in magma.
This is not over yet.
The crater, which had been filled with metal structures, exploded at this moment, releasing a shockwave and mushroom cloud like a nuclear explosion.
This time, however, the mushroom cloud contained no dust or debris; it was simply a mass of destructive energy dissipating from the surrounding area.
Moreover, the energy that appeared was actually a dreamy rainbow with seven colors.
Even the sky above this huge crater seemed to gain a touch of brilliance.
Five minutes have passed.
When the terrifying fluctuations completely disappeared.
The underground pit, which is thousands of meters deep, is full of traces of molten metal.
The center of the square on the ground is still visible.
Megatron, now only half his body remaining, looked down at his rapidly reassembling body and the AllSpark intact in his chest, and let out a hearty laugh.
However, the laughter soon disappeared and was replaced by trembling horror.
"You...you're all still alive?"
Megatron, propping himself up, looked in front of him.
Directly ahead, two hundred meters away.
Chu Xuan, swaying and bleeding from all seven orifices, stood at the front.
The lenses of the glasses had inexplicably disappeared, leaving only a black frame covered in blood and flesh.
Despite the blood and tears still streaming from the corners of his eyes, his gaze remained as sharp as ever, unchanged.
However, the most obvious difference compared to before the explosion is...
Chu Xuan's original short black hair has now become half black and half white, making him look like a young man with white hair.
A patchwork of jet-black hair interspersed with large amounts of silver-white hair.
Chu Xuan just stood there.
Around him was a layer of light-refracting material, like a glass wall.
Behind him were Li Xiao, whose right hand and right abdomen had disappeared, and Zhao Yingkong, whose body was radiating spiritual light.
At the very back is Chen Zilong, whose wounds are countless and who has become a blood-soaked figure.
It is obvious that this special layer of defense blocked the damage that was comparable to a nuclear explosion.
However, all three of them had been seriously injured beforehand.
Chu Xuan, standing straight at the front, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Megatron did not attack but instead propped himself up, pressing one hand to the ground with a solemn expression.
"Devil elites, kill them all!"
As he spoke, the energy from the AllSpark Cube flowed through his palm and into the already melted metal ground.
A surge of energy.
The robots that had appeared to be dead all around them suddenly came back to life.
The explosion just now, coupled with the massacre that Li Xiao and his men had carried out earlier.
Even with the renewed energy supply from the AllSpark Cube, there are now fewer than a hundred robots left in the entire underground space that have been revived.
However, those who remain are the best of the best, the elite among the elite.
So even though only they were left, they still managed to unleash considerable damage under their relentless attacks.
A dense barrage of laser energy and various beams of light struck again, covering the entire wall in front of Chu Xuan.
Even if it's a λ-drive.
After the explosion, this layer of defense has begun to falter slightly.
In addition, Chu Xuan's physical condition was currently poor.
Eventually, this seemingly indestructible, transparent wall began to crack.
Several visible cracks spread outwards from the air, and at this moment, Chu Xuan's hair, which was originally only half white, began to change again.
I saw this scene.
Finally, Chen Zilong lowered his head and looked at the Resurrection Talisman that had burned out in front of him, confirming that his body had recovered to about 70-80%.
While the third stage of gene lock in the body has not yet disappeared.
He took a step forward, grabbed Chu Xuan, and threw him backward. At the same time, the dark golden shield formed by the Iron Will Soldier took shape and replaced the glass barrier.
Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted themselves.
They also had a burning talisman on their bodies.
In that situation just now, they were so close, practically right next to each other.
Therefore, even those with extraordinary strength are not immune to serious injuries.
Fortunately, she had the talisman she had affixed to her body beforehand and Chu Xuan's timely rescue.
Otherwise, even if they didn't die, they wouldn't have been able to continue fighting.
Once the flesh and blood in his right hand and abdomen had fully grown back, Li Xiao immediately drew upon the true energy stored in his energy storage ring.
As the body stretched, a series of cracking sounds from the bones followed.
Li Xiao said helplessly, "I thought I could save it for the next horror movie, but it seems I still can't!"
Without further ado, he swallowed the pill that was still in his mouth.
With the help of two recovery items, Li Xiao, who was seriously injured just a second ago, now seems to be fine.
Beside her, Zhao Yingkong's black Shinigami outfit had also been fully restored.
Then, the sparks of light condensed in his hand into a golden dagger.
At this moment, Chen Zilong, who was at the very front acting as a target, shouted with his back to the camera:
"Gentlemen, are you all recovered yet? If you are, hurry up and make your move, I can't hold on any longer!"
"It's manageable to defend against, but it's a real pain in the ass. I should have borrowed Saito Hajime's Purple Gold Bowl. Damn it!"
Chu Xuan, who had already sat cross-legged behind him, also activated the talisman and consumed the pill.
But that wasn't all. He actually took out a red and blue spiral tube-shaped medicine from his spatial bag and injected it into his body.
If Li Xiao's regeneration of his severed arm and the restoration of his body were shocking, then Chu Xuan's appearance at this moment was that of a completely different species.
Less than a second after the medicine entered his body, Chu Xuan's flesh and blood instantly swelled up and he lost his human form.
It was as if it had turned into a big meatball.
Then the more than two-meter-tall meatball split open, and Chu Xuan, naked but completely unharmed, walked out.
Yes, even his half-gray hair has returned to normal, and he's practically back to his peak condition.
And that's when I witnessed this unbelievable scene.
Megatron finally made a decision.
With his free hand, he pulled out the AllSpark Cube and pressed it directly onto the remaining metal ground beneath him. (End of Chapter)
