CHAPTER 796: CHAPTER 347: FIRE METEOR!

"Interesting! If you could tell me the truth about the power of Star Abyss, perhaps you might persuade me."

Julius was rendered speechless as soon as he heard this.

Mochizuki Shinji looked at Julius with a deep smile, then casually ordered Qian Suxun

"Xun..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Suxun immediately prepared to deal with the other party.

"Wait." At this moment, Julius suddenly looked in Lin Xian’s direction and saw Grace standing next to Lin Xian, then proactively spoke: "You must be Lin Xian, the Mechanical Superpower, truly a perfect experimental subject."

"It’s a real shame that such a good experimental subject is about to perish in this Star Abyss. Otherwise, your ability might indeed be an excellent solution for our mechanical intelligence bottleneck."

"May I ask a question?" Upon hearing himself addressed, Lin Xian suddenly spoke.

Although time was pressing, this was Lin Xian’s first direct contact with people from the Deep Red World, and the counterpart clearly held an important position. Previously, they had destroyed the Zero Element Center in Yijin City, coupled with Chu Yan, Lin Xian’s understanding of this massive organization was just the tip of the iceberg.

Upon hearing Lin Xian’s words, Qian Suxun paused his actions, refraining from immediately shooting Julius, but he simultaneously reminded

"Lin, be cautious about revealing too much information. Even with information delay, whatever he communicates with you will spread to the Deep Red World organization outside of Star Abyss."

Lin Xian understood, then looked at Julius and said

"My question is simple: Was your colossal anchor point in Akse and on the Wei River aimed at Silent City and me?"

No one present expected Lin Xian to pose such a question. Only Mochizuki Shinji from the control room showed a prodding interest.

Julius looked at Lin Xian and suddenly let out a silent smile

"You’re truly a pitiable fellow..."

"Do you think your plan is about to succeed, that after stealing our research data you can leave carefree? Oh, let me give you a gift then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palm of his raised left hand suddenly split open, revealing a special device that resembled some sort of control button.

In that instant, Qian Suxun immediately sensed the anomaly, furrowed his brows, and prepared to fire using the mecha.

Julius moved incredibly fast, completely ignoring the gun and any attack, and directly pressed down with his left thumb.

"Goodbye, obsolescents."

But just when everyone thought something was about to happen, the air suddenly fell silent.

Julius’s smile froze on his face. He turned his head and found his entire left hand missing.

What he meant by pressing... was merely an action in the air.

"Such a fine mechanical arm, wasted on a pig’s brain." From afar, Lin Xian, clad in Black Hawk Power Armor, said coldly. To try performing mechanical tricks before him was like wielding a sword in front of Master Guangong.

"How could..."

Beep!!

Julius instinctively tried to understand what had happened to him, all his conscious communications were in real-time transmission to the outside world, but the incident happening now was occurring before he managed to process it, and his brain-machine interface suddenly shut down.

The device was actually a destruction device on the transport ship, capable not only of self-destruction but also of leaving severe night pollution for everyone here. Although it wasn’t a direct marker, it would increase risk and crisis for Lin Xian and others.

At this moment, in a research facility deep underground outside of Star Abyss, Julius Litt, with golden hair, sat in an office chair facing a holographic screen with fragmented and blurry audio being transmitted.

Even after setting up numerous signal relay stations, the received information incurred over 90% loss, so command to the inside of Star Abyss was carried out only through specially encoded short texts. At this moment, the transmitted audio only conveyed vague sounds of Lin Xian and Mochizuki Shinji.

Julius watched the interrupted information on the screen, frowning while awaiting the return of the [destruction] command. According to the flow of time inside, he should be able to receive it within a few seconds.

Yet, even after several minutes, he hadn’t received anything.

"Destruction process failed, Mechanical Superpower does indeed possess remote control traits."

A voice came from behind him, and Julius turned around. Behind him, there was a large screen displaying several specially treated faces, each with its own code name.

"Our Zero Element Center has been undermined, and the collaboration between this Mechanical Superpower User and Mochizuki Shinji poses a significant hazard."

"Julius, ensure the retrieval of Deep Red No.3."

"Master notifies that a major move is imminent in Dawn City, accelerate the expansion of the anchor point of Star Abyss No.5."

"Understood." Julius calmly checked his watch, "Time’s up for White City’s purification operation. Proceed with the next activation in 24 hours."

...

At White City Hospital, beside the crashed transport ship, the flaming fire lit up the surrounding darkness.

With a dull thud, the Julius who was just speaking collapsed directly to the ground.

"Thank you for trusting me." Lin Xian said to Qian Suxun.

Qian Suxun let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to take action, Lin Xian discreetly informed him to pause, causing the usually composed Qian Suxun to feel a rare moment of tension. If not for Shinji’s orders to prioritize Lin Xian’s decisions, he would not have hesitated, but it seemed Lin Xian achieved his goal.
