"Hahahaha! I'm out! I'm finally out!"
Just as Tendo temporarily stabilized the "Perma-magnetic Orb" in the B4 prison section, a deafening cackle ca from not far away. The next second, the door of "Cell B4-03" was blasted open by a heavy punch. The thick tal door slamd onto the ground with a grating crash.
Amid the racket of the falling door, a giant man, over two ters tall and looking like a humanoid chanical weapon, slowly walked out. The mont he appeared, a piercing alarm blared throughout the B4 section.
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]
[B4 section high-risk individual: 'Heavy Punch' Charlie K has breached containnt!]
But the alarm stopped abruptly, as if it had been choked.
"Huh? Why did the damn alarm stop?"
'Heavy Punch' Charlie K scratched his head, his chanical eye flashing with confused red light.
"I turned it off."
Not far away, Tendo was still stabilizing the Perma-magnetic Orb without turning his head. His tone was as flat as if he were comnting on the weather.
Hearing this, Charlie K turned to face Tendo. Seeing that Tendo was busy with the big orb and couldn't be bothered with him, Charlie K grinned, revealing two rows of cold, tal teeth.
"Kid, you might have helped out a lot, but…"
He slowly raised his giant, steaming iron fist, his grin turning into a sneer.
"...I didn't like the way you talked to just now, so… have you decided which parts of your upper body you'll offer as an apology?"
As Charlie K finished speaking, his basic information appeared on the screen.
[Na: Charlie K (Heavy Punch)]
[Stellar Source: Steam Compression]
[Level: Tier-3 Superior]
[Description: A forr underground fighting champion of the City of Steam. 90% of his body has undergone chanical modifications, giving him unimaginable combat skills and physical strength. A severe quantum psychopath.]
[Symptoms of Quantum Psychopathy:]
[1. Blurred Man-Machine Boundary: Excessive chanical modification can cause a loss of self-identity as a human, leading to cognitive confusion.]
[2. Emotional Detachnt: Excessive chanical modification weakens empathy, leading to indifference, violence, or antisocial tendencies.]
[3. Distorted Perception of Reality: Over-imrsion in the quantum realm leads to hallucinations and mory loss. In severe cases, the individual cannot distinguish between reality and virtuality.]
Through Charlie K, the Stars Productions team introduced the symptoms of "Quantum Psychopathy" to the dinsional viewers for the first ti. Tendo was actually quite familiar with this peculiar quantum disease. Without him in the first season, Caroline would have shown similar symptoms due to leaving the quantum realm too early, leading to the initial symptom of "personality loss."
If a genius dual-stellar cyborg like Caroline could be plagued by quantum psychopathy, let alone the man in front of him: 'Heavy Punch' Charlie K, a forr underground champion of the City of Steam with 90% of his body modified. This guy was an absolute lunatic. The rationality and calmness that a chanical Stellar Emissary should possess seed to have completely vanished from him, replaced only by endless indulgence and madness.
But even a lunatic has his uses. Otherwise, Tendo wouldn't have gone out of his way to turn off the alarm and give the guy a valuable chance to escape. The out-of-control Perma-magnetic Orb needed so "tools" to stabilize it again, to prevent the Steam Branch above from discovering anything.
"Hey, kid, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear ?!"
Seeing that Tendo still ignored him, Charlie K's voice suddenly rose by eight decibels. He took a huge step toward Tendo and looked down at the figure who was a head shorter than him.
"You coward, I'm going to rip that mask off your face first. Then I'll teach you how to talk to ."
"Too high."
Tendo suddenly spoke.
Charlie K, with his fist raised, froze. His chanical eye whirred in confusion. "Too high? What's too high?"
But in the next second, he understood why Tendo said that.
"I said… you're standing too high."
The mont Tendo's words fell, an invisible, crushing pressure descended upon Charlie K. Charlie K felt as if he had been suddenly burdened with an invisible mountain. His chanical joints groaned under the unbearable strain. After only a few seconds of gritting his teeth, his knees buckled, and he knelt uncontrollably in front of Tendo. His heavy weight caused the hard tal floor to visibly dent from the impact.
At the sa ti, to show the imnse pressure of Tendo's "Gravity Field," the Stellar Productions team made the ani screen glitch with a static-like distortion. Countless small black lines appeared around Charlie K. They, along with his twisted expression, stood in sharp contrast to the calm eyes behind Tendo's mask.
A true powerhouse doesn't need to do anything. Just one sentence is enough to display their terrifying strength and powerful aura.
This scene gave the dinsional viewers a long-lost sense of familiarity. That familiar feeling of soone just standing there being a symbol of strength! They had only ever felt this from the old Tendo and the Doctor.
Could it be?!
[Perma-magnetic Prison, B4 Section]
"What... what a joke."
Charlie K propped himself up with his hands, his head forced down. His electronic eyes were flashing wildly with red light. He had been imprisoned in the Perma-magnetic Prison for many years, so most of his chanical parts were dormant, leaving him with less than a tenth of his original strength. But he was a Tier-3 Stellar Emissary, after all! His basic chanical parts and prosthetics alone were enough to crush most other Tier-3 Stellar Emissaries.
Yet, in a single sentence from this kid, he was forced to his knees. Who was this guy?! No, he had to get back on his feet!
With this thought, Charlie K's "chanical engine" began to run at high power for the first ti in a long ti. Many of his dormant chanical parts also began to slowly revive. Feeling his strength return, Charlie K's expression beca even more vicious. He slowly broke through Tendo's "gravity lock" and stood up again.
Looking at Tendo, who was still standing next to the Perma-magnetic Orb, Charlie K, thinking he had regained control of the situation, felt he was in the clear.
"Kid, I…"
But the words got stuck in his throat. A special energy orb, flashing with black light, was now hovering at his brow. He could feel the unmistakable aura of death from it.
Looking at the black energy orb that suddenly appeared on the screen, the comnts section on the dinsional screen imdiately erupted. They were all too familiar with this thing; it was Tendo's signature Stellar Arts Technique—Black Azure!
'!!! Black Azure! It's Lord Tendo's Black Azure!'
'The feels! Who can handle this move, hahahaha!'
'Charlie K: I just stood up and got a face full of death? This script is wrong, Director!!!'
At the sa ti, Tendo's voice ca through the mask, and this ti he didn't disguise his voice at all.
