182: Chapter 102: Demonic Congratulation 182: Chapter 102: Demonic Congratulation Amid the sounds of explosions, the floor was thrown up—along with the ssenger of the Six Dragons Sect.
Imdiately, the ssenger sprouted a bunch of tentacles, attempting to wrap around the Sonicon Blade, but a strange tallic object deflected it from the side.
At the sa ti, another hand scooped up and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword.
The cord, resembling a sword tassel, was flicked and securely inserted into the recently popped open port.
Xiang Shan said, “Sorry, friend, this is what I just dropped.”
—Yes, it was what I sent out last month.
The ssenger of the Six Dragons Sect had thousands of words in his heart, but considering the presence of a Scientific Knight, he didn’t speak.
anwhile, the computer room that the ssenger had attacked just monts ago had isolated the fault and restarted.
The virtual image of His Excellency Ashur reappeared on the screen.
“Oh, it looks like another one has joined while I was disconnected…”
Xiang Shan seized this opportunity and launched the weapon in his hand towards the broken door behind Bengel.
It was the scrapped Chainsaw Sword.
Bengel, not recognizing this artifact from his collection, assud it was so strange explosive and imdiately intercepted it with a horizontal swing of his axe.
However, in the mont his moves grew old, another object struck later but arrived first, surpassing his interception at a faster pace and flying into the computer room.
The arrangent of these two attacks was extrely clever.
The Chainsaw Sword and the electromagnetic spear passed Bengel’s defenses almost simultaneously.
It was too late to use a weapon to knock the spear out of midair.
For a mont, Bengel hoped that Daijiu Tai’a would take action.
But Daijiu Tai’a rely posed in a common offensive stance facing the enemy.
Then, a string of lightning ca from behind him.
It was the sound of high-voltage electricity piercing the atmosphere.
This was one of the rare uses of electromagnetic spears in this era.
So computer systems, protected by Faraday cages, could resist EMP attacks to so extent.
However, if a discharge device pierces the Faraday cage before discharging, the contents inside would still be damaged.
“…Rat…”
After uttering this word, Holy Knight Ashur disconnected once again.
Bengel hadn’t anticipated such a developnt.
Under such an attack, even the brain of Appennine was not spared.
He bellowed, “Kill him!”
The already half-mad Personality Mask Legion imdiately went berserk.
But this ti, Xiang Shan rely snorted coldly, then drew his sword.
The armor these guys used was all made of a uniform material, without any interlayers, no linings to absorb chanical waves—let alone an amorphous inner layer.
For a Sonicon Blade, such enemies were simply fodder for slaughter.
Xiang Shan actively charged toward the sprinting colossal prosthetic.
He circled the massive prosthetic leg, which was a ter in diater, moving so swiftly that almost no one could see what he had done.
He touched and moved away from almost every Personality Mask-controlled prosthetic.
But the ssenger of the Six Dragons Sect knew what was going on.
Aware of the weapon’s capabilities, he circumvented the colossal prosthetic, charging directly towards the other enemies Xiang Shan had made contact with.
The gigantic prosthetic turned around, stomping on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the external armor on its prosthetic leg cracked obliquely, displacing the force downward.
The cumberso prosthetic instantly lost its balance and, following the areas weakened by two explosions, fell to the floor below, causing a huge wave of tal aerosol.
The armor on other prosthetics also instantaneously fractured.
Lightweight prosthetics without high-strength fraworks simply toppled over.
The heavy prosthetics were destroyed imdiately after the Six Dragons Sect ssenger landed his attack.
There were still a few prosthetics capable of continuing the fight.
However, the tal aerosol stirred up by that colossal prosthetic would soon impair their ability to move as well.
Xiang Shan kicked off the wall, sprinting to face Bengel.
Bengel swung his long axe, trying to use the advantage of his weapon to suppress this thug while waiting for support.
Xiang Shan dodged Bengel’s incoming moves, and his longsword furiously chopped downward.
Bengel blocked this strike with the handle of his axe.
He prepared to continue with a “Sweeping” move to force this detestable Hero back.
However, at that mont, the blade of the “High-Frequency Oscillation Sword” unexpectedly bent at the connection with the hilt like a “Folding Knife”!
Xiang Shan rapidly crouched down to evade, anwhile, his Sonicon Blade circumvented the long axe, grazing Bengel’s arm.
Subsequently, half of his shoulder, along with the axe handle, separated from his torso.
“Sonicon Blade!” Bengel shrieked, imdiately turning to flee.
It was only at that mont that he realized this was not a high-frequency vibration blade.
Those swords, in order to generate stronger high-frequency vibrations, would go to great lengths to fix the blade to the emitter.
However, the high-frequency vibrations produced by the Sonicon Blade were so terrifying that almost no parts could withstand it; thus, the blade had to be separated from the hilt and vibrations were created directly by an electromagnetic field.
The overwhelming performance of the Sonicon Blade temporarily robbed him of the possibility to resist.
In the sa instant, Daijiu Tai’a also turned and walked away.
After Hero shouted “Sonicon Blade”, he was able to extricate himself and leave.
At this point, no one could bla him for not putting in effort.
However, Xiang Shan gazed at the departing silhouette of Daijiu Tai’a with confusion, yet refrained from attacking.
In the instant of the sword-snatching, his Prosthetic Eye captured an electromagnetic signal.
It was a QR code, which after decoding, contained very little information, rely a line of Morse code.
[Bengel’s External Armor adheres to local standard specifications]
Standing at that angle, the only ones who could potentially send this signal to Xiang Shan were Bengel and Daijiu Tai’a.
Naturally, this ssage couldn’t have been from Bengel himself.
Bengel had no reason to betray his own information.
You see, Xiang Shan didn’t know which part of Bengel’s body actually housed his biological brain.
His strike could very well have killed the Vice-Captain.
As he drew closer, he received even more information.
He was certain, that information was transmitted by Daijiu Tai’a using the technique of witnessing.
That thing was a piece of code.
It could directly access the high-level permissions of the security system.
This was sothing only an insider could obtain.
Xiang Shan was unsure about the whole situation.
He couldn’t rule out a situation where “internal power struggles within the Scientific Knights were using Hero to eliminate a threat”.
But this Scientific Knight could indeed be…
“‘One of our’ people?”
Xiang Shan was sowhat puzzled.
At that mont, the mysterious Internal Strength Master interjected.
[You haven’t left yet?
You’ve unlocked those antiquated relics of the Old Era!
Who exactly are you?]
The automatic fort’s AI had an authentication system.
The Chainsaw Sword also had a permission lock.
These artifacts might not be enough to stop a modern Internal Strength Master.
On the other hand, the devices could only accept close-range signals, and Bengel’s office router didn’t connect at the frequency used by the automatic fort.
And Heroes sneaking into this area generally wouldn’t bother cracking these “antiquities that barely qualify as weapons.”
The sa held true for the Chainsaw Sword.
But Xiang Shan was different.
He was familiar with the weapons of that era, and for him, cracking these things was as natural as breathing.
Not to ntion, the automatic fort’s AI was likely written by a younger version of himself.
Xiang Shan smiled, sheathed his sword, and walked away.
At that ti, a pair of tentacles curled around the shattered doorway.
A Six Dragons Sect ssenger landed before Xiang Shan.
His black robe was tattered from the fight, revealing the body underneath.
Normally, those bionic tentacles would wrap around this lean body in a specific arrangent.
This Prosthetic Body was rather “minimalist”.
The entire torso was just a spine wrapped in thick Armor.
The tentacles’ power source, Zug Lake, had a separate setup.
“How’s it going?” he asked.
“A large troop is about to arrive.
Do you have any plans?”
He had generally understood the ins and outs of the situation.
Xiang Shan nodded, “There’s one more person to kill.
The ‘show’ hasn’t ended yet.”
“Your goal, I guess, must be to kill Ya Pining Zhao.
As far as I know…” the Six Dragons Sect ssenger peered towards the computer room: “His Biological Brain is already dead.”
“But anyone who tramples on Ya Pining Zhao in front of —tramples on this human, must also die,” Xiang Shan stated.
“I want everyone to witness his death.
I want our ideology to be undeniable.”
re assassination might change the world, but it cannot establish an ideal epoch.
Hero’s “Assassination” is just the most crucial step in “righteousness”, not the entirety of it.
Since “spreading information in secret” would only be suppressed, then adopt a form that’s “absolutely unsuppressible” to propagate Hero’s “righteousness”.
It’s precisely for this reason that the most successful “violence” takes place on a grand stage, knocking down the lofty “god”, proclaiming his cris, and then killing him amidst loud singing.
Only by doing so, the colors of “righteousness” will be so prominent that they can’t be suppressed, covered, or altered!
“To loudly declare the high righteousness” is essentially a type of attention-grabbing “performance”—it’s a propaganda battle for “righteousness”.
“Now?
This place has already been heavily surrounded.”
Xiang Shan did not respond with specific tactics but asked in return, “What can you tell about the Six Dragons Sect?”
Within the mories obtained from Organization Z, he had encountered this Prosthetic Body…
or soone with a behavioral pattern similar to this person.
The Six Dragons Sect ssenger shook his head, “We have our guidelines.”
“Hero does not deign to hide his ideology.”
The Six Dragons Sect ssenger replied, “Please do not doubt our nobleness, even though we are still in the shadows, we are destined to venture towards the stars.”
Xiang Shan nodded, “Then, let’s depart now.
I believe the actions between the Six Dragons Sect and Green Forest violate righteousness.
Next ti we et, we might be enemies.”
“You need not hasten to such conclusions,” said the Six Dragons Sect ssenger.
“I won’t leave either.
‘This Prosthetic Body’ can still attract so fire for you.
Please complete your grand performance.”
“Lastly, congratulations on coming back from Hell once again.”
