From the Heart

Chapter 69 From the Heart

Sensing Tallinn's unfriendly gaze, Caitlin narrowed her eyes and said, "You'd better calm down."

Tallinn simply shook his head dismissively, then said in a low voice, "Try to avoid it a bit."

"oh."

Seeing that Tarin had already made up his mind, Qiyana nodded understandingly, then took a few steps back with an indifferent expression, as if she didn't intend to interfere too much.

This made Caitlin frown instinctively.

Judging from Qiyana's reaction, either the other party has given up on this guy called Tarin, or they have enough confidence in Tarin.

Judging from the expressions and attitudes of Tarin, Qiyana, and others, the latter is clearly more convincing.

But Tarlin clearly didn't care. He simply spread his legs slowly, lowered his center of gravity, and then looked at Caitlin.

It was just a simple action and a glance, but for some reason, Caitlin felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being targeted by some terrifying beast, feeling like she was being pricked by a thorn in her back.

Before Caitlin could react, a surge of blood energy suddenly erupted from Tarlin's body.

With the eruption of blood and qi, life energy was also suddenly activated. The moment he entered the demon form, Tarin's body, which was originally dressed in ordinary clothes, was instantly covered by the Odogaron armor that looked like it was forged from flesh and blood.

As Tallinn suddenly underwent a violent transformation, Caitlin and the others narrowed their eyes. But the next moment, with a deafening roar, the ground cracked, and Tallinn's massive body transformed into a blur as it shot through the air.

"!!!" As Tallinn disappeared from sight in a blur, a look of terror appeared in Caitlin's eyes.

Although she is a law enforcement officer, Caitlin often provides fire support from a distance.

Facing such a close-quarters battle, Caitlin felt a sudden, inexplicable chill creep over her.

Forget about calmly fighting and counterattacking; even their limbs were out of control, cold and numb, due to that undisguised malice.

Just as Caitlin felt despair, Vi suddenly crashed into her from the side.

It wasn't that Vi intended to crash into Tarlin, or rather, Vi actually wanted to attack Tarlin directly, but she realized that she couldn't catch Tarlin's high-speed movement the moment it sprang into action.

Although she is completely clueless about interpersonal relationships and politics, Vi's combat instincts are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Almost without any thought process, her body reacted before her brain could even process anything, shoving Caitlin to the side.

Upon reaching Tarin and facing the oncoming impact, Vi's far more acute combat instincts than Caitlyn's immediately sent a chill down her spine.

Vi had originally planned to confront Tarin head-on after pushing Caitlin away, to show this guy that the outside world was not as weak as they imagined.

But now, almost instantly, Vi followed her combat instincts, abandoned any hope of a counterattack, and instead focused all her energy on activating the defensive modules of the Atlas gauntlets in her hands to create an explosive shield.

As a prototype mining tool used by Piltover miners, Vi's Atlas Gauntlet differs from the mass-produced Excavator model used by ordinary miners. It was originally a prototype created by Jayce during a Hextech Crystal upgrade.

As a prototype, the NIO Atlas Gauntlet underwent extreme tuning in both normal operation and maximum output, with all materials used far exceeding those of the mass-produced model.

If Vi's physical abilities weren't far beyond those of ordinary people and her synergy with the weapon itself weren't excellent, then even with Caitlyn's help, she wouldn't be qualified to equip it.

Upon witnessing this scene, a look of horror flashed across Wei's eyes.

It's worth noting that Vi, as the first person to perfectly fit the Atlas Gauntlet prototype, specifically collaborated with Jayce to conduct a series of tests.

Among them, the Explosive Shield, when operating at full power, can directly withstand even direct artillery fire. Now, there is no time for Vi to think further, because immediately afterward, Tarin's fist landed on Vi's crossed arms.

It clearly incorporates numerous energy buffer structures for weapon shock absorption, reducing the user's workload.

However, at the moment Tarlin's fist made contact with Atlas's gauntlet, Vi still felt an indescribable, overwhelming force surge into her.

Under the intense impact, Wei even felt that time and space around her seemed to freeze for a moment.

When Wei came to her senses, all that could be heard and heard by the people around her was a roar caused by intense air friction, mixed with the teeth-grinding creaking sound of steel twisting. Then, Wei's body was blasted away like a cannonball!

Because the incident happened so quickly, the people around didn't even have time to react.

On the trajectory where Wei was blasted away, the law enforcement officers who had just prepared for battle were either knocked to the side like bowling pins or simply used as cushions to be hit as well.

Amidst billowing dust, a giant tree several meters away, requiring three people to encircle, trembled violently from the impact. Amidst the dust and leaves scattered by the impact, several people huddled together, some unconscious on the spot, others vomiting blood and groaning softly.

Having been hit head-on, Vi's face turned deathly pale, she vomited blood, and the Atlas gauntlets on her arms twisted violently.

Brass components collapsed to the ground, and even the high-grade Hextech crystal energy core embedded within it was constantly emitting pure white arcs of electricity due to the damage to the energy pipes.

Although Vi didn't die on the spot thanks to the energy buffer device of the Atlas Gauntlets, judging from her condition, she has clearly lost all fighting ability and may even be in mortal danger if she doesn't receive timely treatment.

Even whether the Atlas Gauntlets can be repaired is now an unknown.

Tallinn's face remained expressionless; he simply withdrew his fist and casually flicked his arm to shake off the dust, all under the horrified gazes of the enforcers.

Then, they turned their attention back to the law enforcement officer.

But before Tarlin could react, Caitlin's tense voice came from the side.

That's enough.

"Um?

Upon hearing this, Tallinn also turned his gaze to Caitlin.

Meeting Tallinn's gaze, Caitlin remained silent for a moment before pursing her lips and saying, "We surrender."
