Chapter 112: The Highest Order
Yuan Han continued harping, stunning everyone, even Mu Xuan into silence.
I must say, his words are indeed brave. I doubt there’s another soul in the Galactic who would dare to challenge Mu Xuan in such an outright manner, Yao Si thought.
Besides, Yuan Han seed to be serious about his words...
Suddenly, a red beam shot out from the machine. The mild red glow intensified, turning a deep shade of red with a tinge of purple in the middle.
Is this machine... a chaleon? Why does its color keep changing?
“Another upgrade!” Bai Yi exclaid in disbelief. “F*ck, wasn’t it already SSS rank, why is it still raising?! What rank is it at now?”
“Super S rank,” Mu Xuan replied nonchalantly, raising his head toward the machine. He frowned slightly. That machine... seed familiar!
Super S?
Yao Si stilled. On Mu Xuan’s first encounter with the machine, he ntioned that it was of Super S rank. She had assud that it was similar to the S rank, since the data later indicated that it was of S rank. But was he referring to a rank higher than S?
That machine was indeed... amazing.
(⊙ o ⊙)
“You scums of the Galactic.” Yuan Han looked down at them scornfully. If he could have been considered humble before, it all changed once his machine was upgraded.
“The bloodlings era will end, starting from today!” he shouted out the slogan aggressively. With a swing of the weapon in his hands, a gigantic ball of fla ca rushing into the skies, the red glow surrounding the machine intensifying to a blinding degree. Two beams shot out from the back of the machine that was now dyed red, morphing into two red wings. It looked like an angel that had spread its wings.
The machine exuded an imposing aura with its astounding image. If epic music were to start playing, it would make for a perfect action scene in a movie. The imnse heat generated by the machine was enough to raise the temperature of the entire Heavenly Bestowed Yard by a few degrees.
The sight didn’t perturb Yao Si, but she got an impulse to burst into laughter. Even though wings were great and all, shouldn’t he pay more attention his overall image? The red glow gave him a demonic visage, but with the addition of the wings, he looked like... a roasted chicken?
○|￣|_
But...
“What kind of machine is that?” It had its own special effects and could upgrade and heal automatically... Yao Si had never seen such a machine before, not even in her lecture books.
“You like it?” Mu Xuan asked abruptly, turning to look at her with an intense gaze.
“Ah?” Yao Si froze, not able to react. What did he an?
Before she could clarify what he ant, Yuan Han started toward them with the scythe. The area he passed burst into flas, staining the sky a blazing red. The fiery scythe was like a shooting star that rushed at Mu Xuan.
“Mu Xuan!” Yao Si cried out and grabbed for his hand. Even though she was well-aware of his abilities, she still couldn’t help worrying. It wasn’t the ti to talk; they were in combat and had to concentrate. Concentrate!
Even though the scythe was about to fall, Mu Xuan didn’t seem to have any intention to dodge. He lifted his arm a bit, which resulted in a soft buzzing, and the scythe that had been rushing toward him at full strength appeared in his palm, motionless.
Even though the weapon was massive, almost the height of two grown n, Mu Xuan acted as if holding it was effortless. One might think he was holding a piece of straw.
That wasn’t all—Yuan Han’s entire machine seed to be stuck. The scythe was fixed to his palms as though it was their natural extension.
“You... What did you do!” Yuan Han started to panic, tightening his hold on the scythe in his hands. He tried to pull it from Mu Xuan’s grip, but to no avail. Even with the help of the machine, the scythe remained unmoving.
“Let go! Let go!” Yuan Huan couldn’t seem to release his hands either, since they seed to have gotten glued to the scythe.
Without a glance in his direction, Mu Xuan turned toward his young cub to confirm once more. “Sisi, do you like the machine?”
“Ah! Ah?” Yao Si was still entranced in the mory of how the machine had stopped. Without much thought, she replied, “I... like it?”
“Alright!” He nodded. “You can go then!”
Eh? Where do I go? What do you want to do? Don’t bully kids!
“On the thirteenth segnt of the machine’s back, there’s a green button that links to its power. Go switch it off,” Mu Xuan said, an indulgent look on his face.
Yao Si stilled. Even though she wasn’t sure what he ant, she followed his instructions and headed to the back of the machine, where she started to carefully count the segnts.
“What are you trying to do?” Yuan Han asked apprehensively when he sensed sothing amiss. “You dirty bloodlings, don’t touch my machine!”
Eleven, twelve, thirteen! Yao Si finally found the segnt to which Mu Xuan had referred. Reaching out, she ripped it off.
“Heh, do you really think you have the ability to break through my machine’s defences?” Yuan Han scoffed, seemingly at ease. “Co, touch my machine if you dare.”
A loud tear ripped through the air as the segnt ca off, exposing a row of colorful buttons and wires that were lit up.
“This... this is impossible!” Yuan Han howled in disbelief. “Why weren’t you electrocuted? There was clearly a defence chanism on the removed segnt! You b*tch, what did you do to my machine?”
You’re the b*tch, your entire family are b*tches.
Who knows about the power source of your machine? Is the broken defence my fault?
But... didn’t Mu Xuan ntion only one button? What are whole rows of them doing here?
“Mu Xuan, which green button is it?” Yao Si couldn’t help but raise her paws to ask: grass green, deep green, or the light green? The different shades made it hard to differentiate them.
“The third one on the second column,” Mu Xuan replied nonchalantly.
Okay, I understand now, the apple green one!
“Despicable!” Yuan Han started to hurl insults once he realized the imminent danger. “You want to use the secondary control to seize my machine? Heh, don’t forget that it’s of Super S rank and doesn’t possess the sa chanisms as a normal machine. Do you think your trick will be effective? Just a—”
Ding! Before he could finish his sentence, the machine’s lights dimd, and it bent over like a bean sprout. The next instant, all the components got loose and fell noisily to the ground.
In less than two seconds, the Super S rank machine turned into a pile of tal. So pieces had rolled off to the side, leaving the upright Yuan Han alone in the middle, staring in disbelief. He still had his hands raised, holding onto the scythe that was in Mu Xuan’s hand.
Yao Si’s face cramped up. What was the button she had just pressed?
“This-this is impossible!” Yuan Han glared with wide-open eyes, unwilling to believe the scene in front of him. His originally arrogant expression had been replaced by a face of fear and horror as he grabbed onto the broken parts maniacally. “It’s impossible, this machine is supposed to be invincible. It’s the most intelligent machine from the previous Galactic, so no one here could have surpassed it! Can you image how much pain I went through to obtain it? Impossible! It’s impossible for you do destroy it like that!”
“The previous Galactic?” Yao Si blinked. It ant that he wasn’t the creator of the machine. Was that the reason he was always so arrogant? It was probably all because of the machine.
“It’s you! You’ve ruined my machine!” Yuna Han turned abruptly, glaring at her ferociously, itching to pounce at her from his pile of tal.
F*ck! Wasn’t he just picking on the weak? He was clearly disregarding her dad!
Yao Si took a step back.
The next mont, an imnse ntal strength ca pressing down on Yuan Han before he could even touch the corner of her shirt. Mu Xuan sent him crashing into the tal pile.
Who allowed you to touch my cub?
The tal parts rattled, dispersing, and a golden ball shining with a purple light ca rolling out. It looked exceptional. Even though the other parts had lost their shine, the ball continued to glow.
Yao Si reached down to the source out of curiosity, but before she could touch it, Yuan Han pushed himself to his feet and ca rushing toward her again. He grabbed the tal ball. “Return it to !”
Yao Si almost lost her footing when stumbling backwards. Yuan Han got hold of the golden ball, then dived forward, tumbling away to widen the distance between them.
“Lightning, let’s go!” he shouted out, and the golden ball released a purple glow, engulfing him.
Lightning? That ball seed to be the machine’s heart; even after the exterior was destroyed, it was still alive!
In a few monts, the purple glow intensified, and a familiar portal appeared behind him. Yuan Han disappeared inside it.
F*ck, another space portal. He escaped once more!
“Mu Xuan!” Yao Si glanced over anxiously. It would be a wasted trip if he were to escape!
“Indeed...” Mu Xuan said without explainings his thoughts. The next mont, he shouted, “Number 27, co back!”
Eh? What does that an?
The mont he have his command, the space portal that had closed snapped open, and a purple glow rushed out. Yuan Han, who had disappeared, was dragged out once more.
The tal ball that was tightly clenched in his embrace seed to have gotten out of control, flying towards them while hauling Yuan Han along with it.
[Ding! The highest order has priority, smart system Number 27 at your service!] a foreign voice announced from the ball. It sounded soft and cutesy, like a child, but with an automated feel.
Mu Xuan was at ease with the developnt. “Number 27, report the ti of the last shut down.”
[The last ti I shut down was 3561 years 4 months 12 hours 45 minutes and 12 seconds ago. Once the restarting of the blue planet was detected, the smart system woke halfway.]
Eh? What is this situation?
Everyone stared in confusion.
“I command you to wake up!.”
[Di! Complete awakening in progress, 60%... 70%... 80%... 90%... Awakening: Success!]
Mu Xuan reached out, and the ball trembled. It jumped out of Yuan Han’s embrace and landed in Mu Xuan’s hands. The next mont, an excited voice rang out from the ball.
[Beloved dad, long ti no see. Little Ball missed you!]
“Mmh,” Mu Xuan replied before turning to the others. “I forgot to ntion, I made this smart system a while back when I was bored!”
“...” Yao Si.
“...” Bai Yi.
“...” Fourth Elder.
Great, ain’t it totally his style?
Suddenly, Yao Si got an impulse to burn a candle for Yuan Han.
