Chapter 987
War in Progress Nanobombs
The uneven, wrecked ground suddenly softened the moment the two objects came into contact.
So much so that Megatron didn't have to exert much effort to press the entire AllSpark into the cube.
At that very moment, the mental sharing that had just been severed due to the energy explosion suddenly reconnected with the four of them.
The moment the connection was established, Zhan Lan shouted loudly in the depths of their minds:
Watch your step!
"After Megatron put away the AllSpark, the scanner suddenly detected something below. Something's wrong here, damn it! It's a huge robot!"
Zhan Lan had forgotten when she last swore.
But now, one can only imagine what kind of extraordinary being could make this person so anxious.
At the same moment Zhan Lan spoke, Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong's expressions changed, as if they had sensed something.
They reacted quickly, each grabbing one of the others without hesitation, and soared into the sky.
Li Xiao even entered his strongest state of destruction once again.
As the energy within his body surged and compressed, Li Xiao, who had just recovered somewhat, coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The Moon Step beneath his feet created a shockwave-like column of air, propelling him and Chu Xuan away from this perilous place.
Because it was at this time.
In this dilapidated, unrecognizable pit.
A mechanical hand emerged from the darkness of the ground.
Just this one palm.
It's about the size of the entire square.
Even the spot where they were before, that pitted and sunken plaza, was the palm of this robot's hand.
Upon seeing the appearance of this mechanical hand, and the AllSpark cube installed by Megatron in the center of the hand.
Li Xiao and the others finally understood what was going on.
This is probably Megatron's last trump card.
While being held captive, Chu Xuan looked down and immediately deduced the size and form of the robot hidden underground by examining his palm.
He spoke up immediately:
"If any machine can be awakened by the influence of the AllSpark Cube and become a mechanical life form, turning into a robot."
"The largest mechanical object that mankind has created at this stage, apart from aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, spaceships, and interstellar space stations, is the largest on land that I can think of... the European particle collider."
Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, Li Xiao asked loudly:
"What is this collider? Just tell me how big it is!"
Chu Xuan quickly said, "The particle collider itself is equivalent to a 100-meter building. Of course, the most important thing is the track that extends out on both sides, which is a full 27 kilometers long because it needs to accelerate."
"If it transforms into a robot, this trajectory will most likely involve folding and shrinking, but the final size..."
Upon hearing the number uttered by Chu Xuan, the few who still retained their rationality couldn't help but curse the shamelessness of the Supreme God.
Although it wasn't the first time they had heard about the God's bizarre actions.
But this time, they still managed to open Li Xiao and his group's eyes.
After all, it's extremely rare to find a living experimental machine.
No, it should be said that this is the first time in history.
Chen Zilong, whose neck was being gripped by Zhao Yingkong, spoke up:
"Wait a minute, something's not right. What about all those things you mentioned earlier, like aircraft carriers and battleships that transform into robots four or five hundred meters long? Why didn't we see any of them? And now the biggest boss has arrived?"
Chu Xuan's answer:
"If I'm not mistaken, those giant robots should be on another battlefield!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zilong, who was being held captive, habitually cursed:
"Depend on!"
"So you're saying that things aren't easy for Xiao Honglu either?"
Chu Xuan did not answer the question, but quickly looked around and spoke again:
"Everyone, come closer to me!"
After saying that, Chu Xuan broke free from Li Xiao and actually used his λ-drive ability to materialize telekinesis, allowing him to fly directly in his physical body.
Of course, the price was that Chu Xuan's black hair, which had already recovered, changed again.
As the four reunited, Chu Xuan's bare chest burst open, revealing a black button-like object to the air.
Chu Xuan said in a solemn voice:
"Absolute defense within a ten-meter radius centered on me!"
As he said this, the delicate, small black button exploded!
A layer of transparent folds, just like before, appeared out of thin air and enveloped Chu Xuan and his group of five.
The explosion, which had lasted less than a minute, occurred again.
However, compared to the energy burst that just came from underground, this time it turned into a terrifying electromagnetic wave coming from the ground downwards!
One explosion after another simultaneously created a destructive field of blue and white.
When the arc of electric blue light filled the entire crater, the whole world fell silent instantly.
In mid-air, Li Xiao stood on his flying sword, his gaze piercing through the transparent wall, looking as if he still felt lingering fear.
"One explosion for every one reported explosion, that's fair."
"Gudong!"
After finishing his sentence, he drank one of the medicines and casually tossed one to Chen Zilong.
There's no other way; we've run out of medical supplies and can only rely on the magical potions from Harry Potter.
After drinking it down without any hesitation, Chen Zilong complained to someone:
"My goodness, Colonel Chu Xuan, how many electromagnetic mines did you plant?"
"Such a big commotion."
Chu Xuan, floating in the air, had a serious expression. He ignored Chen Zilong and instead spoke directly in his mind:
"Zhan Lan, stay away from Zheng Zha right now, ignore him, and share the underground scene with me!"
After saying that, a knowing glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes the next second.
"An energy shield, for a size like that..."
Chu Xuan paused.
"Seize the AllSpark Cube before it fully emerges!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the violent lightning that had been engulfing the group suddenly vanished.
The enormous hand, destroyed by electromagnetic force, was now reduced to a single metal skeleton.
His arms and shoulders were also badly broken.
Most importantly, at this moment, most of the giant robot's exposed body was enveloped by a thick light curtain.
Within the light screen, amidst the churning mechanical particles, Megatron raised his head and revealed a smile.
It seemed to be mocking their unnecessary actions.
Upon seeing Chu Xuan fly out, Zhao Yingkong and Li Xiao changed direction accordingly.
One person charged towards Megatron at the center of this giant hand, while another went upwards.
"Chen Zilong, cooperate with me!"
As he shouted those words, a loud bang echoed beneath his feet, and Li Xiao's figure tore through space and disappeared.
As time slowed down, Li Xiao looked at the cracks on his golden skin.
He knew in his heart that from the start of the attack until now, even with the Resurrection Talisman and the Lesser Creation Pill, things had gone terribly.
My Destruction Mode time is running out.
Using his most mobile Moonwalk, Li Xiao was the first to rush in front of Megatron.
Faced with attacks from other robots, Li Xiao usually didn't even look at them and just took the hits head-on.
Those with tremendous power were dodged by Li Xiao at the slightest distance.
After Li Xiao used the same trick again to break through the light barrier, he landed gracefully, his feet once again stepping onto the metal ground.
Compared to before, perhaps because the ground was a mechanical hand suspended in mid-air, Li Xiao felt a slight instability, but this did not prevent him from raising his hand and waving.
The dark gold fingers slashed downwards sharply.
Strands of white vacuum were released from his fingertips, slashing out in tandem with the flying sword beside him.
"It's fucking hard."
Looking at the terrifyingly dense metal on the giant robot, Li Xiao couldn't help but curse again.
Before the mechanical fingers could close, Chen Zilong's assistance finally arrived.
This is a dark gold arrow, yes, it's an arrow.
100 meters away.
Chen Zilong had just released the vibrating bowstring.
By using the Iron Staff of Free Will to transform into a longbow and shoot arrows, although it is not as powerful as when it simply transforms into an arrow and uses Hou Yi's bow.
However, its advantage lies in its convenience and speed.
Take now, for example.
Seeing the dark golden arrow that was even faster than himself, Li Xiao reached out and grabbed it the instant they passed each other.
The two figures merged into one.
In an instant, he bypassed the robots' defenses and arrived directly above Megatron. Li Xiao gripped the arrow and flung it downwards.
The dark gold arrow changed shape in milliseconds.
Five metal rings rolled off the ground, dodging the still bewildered robots as if they were on autopilot.
Finally, these metal rings reached Megatron, leaped up, and firmly bound the half-crippled Decepticon leader who had not yet fully recovered.
At the same time, Li Xiao's main body also rushed forward to a distance of thirty meters.
Just when Li Xiao thought he could succeed this time.
Megatron, who was suppressed on the ground by the metal ring, began to melt like nanoparticles right before Li Xiao's eyes.
The metal, along with its own core and the Spark Cube on the ground, was melted into particles and carried away.
Finally, it falls to another place and is restored to its original shape.
Although Megatron was a size smaller than before, his body had truly recovered completely.
Having witnessed the entire process, Li Xiao blurted out:
"Damn, nanoscale!"
Even the most patient person would get angry when faced with someone who keeps revealing their cards.
Of course, there was more helplessness than anything else.
The revitalized Megatron glanced back at Li Xiao, who had been intercepted again, then turned and jumped off the giant mechanical hand.
But before he could transform again...
That is, in this very instant.
A series of needle-like bullets glowing white appeared from an odd angle and struck Megatron directly in the right shoulder.
Clang clang clang, a series of sounds followed.
The color on the shoulders quickly became dazzling.
Phase matrix defense was activated to its fullest extent at that moment.
Upon seeing this, Megatron's expression changed drastically.
Because he had just been freed from the remodeling process, the Spark Cube had moved from below his chest to his right palm.
After all, the AllSpark Cube was a full cubic meter in size, and with his size decreasing, it could no longer be contained, so it was placed in his right hand.
Thinking of the abilities Chu Xuan had previously displayed, Megatron's body surged with blue energy once again.
The right side of his body, which had been attacked, melted once again into dense particles that were invisible to the naked eye.
When the needle-like bullets disappeared, countless nanoparticles tried to coalesce again to connect with the falling palm and the AllSpark cube within it.
But at that moment, an inconspicuous, even somewhat ordinary, missile seemed to rip through space.
Suddenly, it appeared in front of Megatron.
The shuttle-shaped missile, with its rounded head and pointed tail, miraculously stopped in place in Megatron's eyes before it even touched any obstacle.
Then it began to dissipate from the beginning, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a silvery-gray mist.
After the entire missile turned into a silvery-gray mist, some landed on the surrounding robots, while others attached themselves to Megatron.
Of course, most of it was scattered and spread outwards along with the shockwaves from the various attacks.
The missile appeared, dissipated, turned into mist, and dispersed; the whole process seemed extremely slow.
Even so, a feeling more deadly than ever before enveloped Megatron at this moment.
Finally, it completely enveloped him.
There was no way out.
When Megatron tried to do something, he realized that what was frozen in place was not this cloud of mist.
Rather, it is itself, and all the metal touched by the gray mist at this moment.
If the previous slowing down of time was just an illusion caused by faster reaction times and speed, then...
Now, let's focus on this suddenly appearing missile.
The area covered by the silvery-gray fog is defined by its radius.
Everything in this spherical space that is related to metal has truly been paused by time.
That is, this special moment.
A white figure entered from the outside, and the hand shrouded in white light finally touched the metal cube he had been dreaming of.
After realizing that it could not be put into the space bag.
The palm of Chu Xuan's hand that touched the Fire Source Cube cracked open and then grew and extended.
Flesh and blood transformed into ropes, binding the entire arm like a rope that secured the AllSpark Cube, pulling it outwards.
At the same time, a series of attacks followed closely behind.
Megatron looked at the other freely moving robots outside the range and realized that he was the only one who was still.
The other robots outside were unaffected.
After Chu Xuan successfully dragged the Spark Cube away from the gray mist, the right half of his hair turned a dull silver-white.
Fortunately, Zhao Yingkong arrived after dealing with the two robots waiting on the side.
Chu Xuan immediately handed over the Fire Source Cube.
Without hesitation, Zhao Yingkong took it and disappeared into the bottom of the huge pit in a flash.
At this point, the Spark Cube came into the hands of the Central State team.
"Do not!!!!"
Li Xiao and Chen Zilong looked over upon hearing the sound.
The silver-gray mist, which had originally only covered an area of a few dozen meters, began to fall and attach itself to other metals at an incredible speed after making initial contact with them.
And then they began a process of reproduction and division that sent chills down everyone's spines.
In this bottomless pit, large swathes of metal began to disappear.
Even the robots around them were completely devoured after only a little contamination.
In the end, there was no trace of it left.
Instead, the originally thin silvery-gray mist transformed into substantial silvery-gray waves as time went by.
It even has a more lifelike, wriggling texture than before.
Having gained physical form, they became even faster and more ferocious. (End of Chapter)
