In the southern part of the city, a strange battle between paranormals and alien technology was raging.
The ones who launched the attack were more than a dozen ability users in gray long windbreakers who used all kinds of strange abilities. They were rather tacitly distributed into a loosely structured ring, using their respective special abilities to launch fierce bombardments at the enemies in the center of the ring. All kinds of long-range abilities shone brilliantly here. Flames, electromagnetism, and wind blades shrouded an area of less than a hundred meters like magic effects in the movies. Occasionally, sharp steel bars or heavy concrete slabs whistled through the air as they participated in the bombardment. Those were ability users with the ability to control objects, making up for the lack of physical damage in these energy-based attacks. This fierce and precise mixed attack showed the tacit understanding between these ability users. It seemed that they had undergone a considerable degree of specialized training to be able to fuse their different or even opposite abilities into such intensive bombardments.
If the people of the paranormal group were here, they would probably exclaim, "Are paranormals so worthless now?"
This was what made the Olympians insane. They had mastered some basic Schilling technology and had now found effective ways to greatly strengthen low-level paranormals. Compared to high-level paranormals, those who had a little bit of special ability but barely showed it could be described as a sea of people. These people were gathered by the Olympians, brainwashed, and modified with various enhancement technologies, finally creating a large number of intermediate paranormals. In this world, only the lunatics of Olympus had the capital to use paranormals as ordinary soldiers.
Under the joint attack of more than a dozen paranormals, Little Bubble's situation could only be described as "barely holding on".
In the beginning, Little Bubble's messy attacks really threw the Olympians around her into a flurry for a while. But it did not take long for the experienced paranormals to figure out the little girl's attack pattern and a lot of her obvious weaknesses. They came to a conclusion: Little Bubble was just a little girl. Aside from her strong combat power, she was definitely no more than a five-year-old.
After the initial panic, the Olympian mutants quickly organized an orderly battle formation and used their advantage in numbers to suppress the little girl's summoning. They successfully interrupted the little girl's cat summoning spell. Now, they thought that victory was in their hands.
Even though Little Bubble's battle style had endless variability, she was still a child, after all. Under the sudden, overwhelming attacks, the little lass panicked and could only build a simple, crude bunker in a fluster. Then, she hugged her head and asked for help from her superiors.
She had completely forgotten that there was a super special force whose combat power was second only to the Schilling Royal Guards in her Dimensional Pocket.
The Xi Ling mainframe's defensive capabilities were indeed strong. Although the appearance of the temporary bunker built by Little Bubbles was terrible, there was no doubt about its sturdiness. However, under the joint bombardment of more than ten mutants, a series of defensive systems had already begun to alarm.
Paranormals who were forcibly catalyzed by drugs and radiation were, of course, weaker than other paranormals of the same level under normal circumstances. But with the advantage in numbers and coordination, the explosive power they could unleash was not something that Little Bubble, a non-combat Shiring Apostles, could handle. In just a few minutes, the latter had fallen into a situation where she was almost certain to lose.
"Should we capture her alive?"
Seeing that the situation had been decided, the physical enhancer standing next to Medusa asked.
Medusa nodded without hesitation. "Of course, we must not miss such a precious specimen. Her ability obviously does not belong to any kind of paranormal ability. If we can analyze the source of her power, the harvest will be absolutely unimaginable."
Medusa replied, but there were still some things she did not say. Thinking of the recent strange events in the city, she could not help but associate the mysterious little girl in front of her with those things. If there was a mysterious organization that even Olympus did not know about and had completely abnormal power, then the little girl in front of her would definitely be the breakthrough point to find out everything. And this was only one of the reasons. More importantly, Medusa had always felt that the messy "equipment" used by the other party during the attack gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Although she could not recall any experience of seeing similar things, she still could not put that sense of familiarity at the back of her mind.
This sense of familiarity, of course, was because the things that Little Bubble created were all Schilling devices, and Olympus usually studied the ancient Schilling relics.
From this, it could be seen that Little Bubble's "production capacity" was still at a hopeless level...
However, just when everyone thought that everything was about to end and this would be a perfect victory, Medusa suddenly felt a burst of uneasiness in her heart.
An enemy approaching!?
Such a thought flashed in Medusa's mind, and then she looked back at a brown-haired foreign man standing quietly not far away, and then dispelled such doubts.
Looking at Du Bai's appearance, his ability should still be working normally. Medusa still had a lot of trust in this mysterious paranormal who was temporarily transferred from the Americas. His "False Appearance" ability could completely conceal what happened within a certain range, and everyone would subconsciously ignore this area of effect. Before Du Bai's ability lost its effect, not to mention a dozen paranormal people besieging a fierce loli, even if there were two armies firing missiles at them, not even a patrol officer would be alerted. And even if there was a patrol officer coming over, he would never think of such a place!
However, despite having such thoughts in her mind, Medusa felt that the sense of crisis not only did not go away, but it also became more and more obvious.
People like her, who often dealt with danger, were definitely no stranger to such a sense of crisis.
When the constantly spreading ominous feeling finally reached a peak, Medusa finally faintly felt the ground under her feet was trembling slightly. Then, she saw the ground under her subordinates suddenly bulge.
"Get out of the way!"
Medusa only had time to issue such a warning, but it was too late. The mutated ground suddenly exploded as if a landmine had been detonated under it. A large amount of sand and soil sprayed out like fireworks, and a tall figure broke out of the ground like a god of death rushing out of hell. Before the three Olympian paranormal could even react, they had already turned into red smoke.
"Mission, executed!"
The black shadow broke through the ground and landed heavily on the ground. Its hard alloy limbs nailed an Olympian who could not escape in time into several pieces. Then it spat out these two words coldly.
After recovering from the brief absent-mindedness, Medusa saw the appearance of the enemy clearly, and then her pupils instantly shrank into a small dot.
A half-human, half-scorpion mechanical beast, which she thought was just a rumor, had actually appeared again!
"Mon … Monster!"
Less than half a meter away from the mechanical scorpion, an unlucky Olympian looked up at the two-meter-tall figure like a fool. Then, he finally reacted and screamed in horror. But the next moment, his voice stopped abruptly. Then, his whole body rose into the air, and within the next three seconds, he landed in batches.
During this time, the mechanical scorpion only raised its arm slightly.
Kacha … Kacha … Kacha …
The sound of metal limbs moving in the silence was like a beating in the hearts of the Olympians. The scorpion woman was like a moving stone sculpture. She turned around expressionlessly and walked toward the center of the encirclement. There, the hemispherical fortification built by Little Bubble was squeaking and emitting electric sparks due to energy overload. It was full of scars from various supernatural attacks. Twisted steel bars and broken concrete slabs were crisscrossed around the fortification. Those were the ammunition used by the ability users to control objects to attack Little Bubble. But now, it seemed that despite the poor technology, the things that Little Bubble built were relatively sturdy. The "ammunition" that was stronger than artillery shells had now become building waste. It was a post-modern scene of a war-torn Iraqi street.
"Mission, protect the host, completed!"
Scorpion observed the battered but still intact fortification for a while and then nodded.
"Mission, annihilate the enemy, begin!"
From the moment the scorpion suddenly burrowed out of the ground, to the few mutants being sliced into red paint, not even 2 seconds had passed. At this moment, seeing that the mechanical monster was looking at them, the Enhancer standing beside Medusa finally reacted, and immediately shouted: "What are you waiting for!? Go! "
With this shout, everyone finally came back to their senses. Although they were still a little confused, they instinctively used their best abilities and began to attack the scorpion woman who was walking toward them unhurriedly. This time, it was different from before. Their goal was no longer to bully a wild loli but to escape from a strange mechanical scorpion woman. Therefore, they did not hold back anymore. Although they had already lost several people, their attacks were even more ferocious than before. In an instant, the place where the mechanical scorpion stood was completely drowned in all kinds of explosions.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Retreat!"
In less than a minute, only a few of her trusted subordinates were left. Medusa finally remembered how to react at this time, but she had already vaguely realized that no one could escape today.
Hearing the order to retreat from their boss, the survivors who were still frantically resisting suddenly realized that such a superficial counterattack was useless. The speed of the scorpion was completely beyond the limit of what the naked eye could capture. They had not even touched a hair of the scorpion until now!
And at this moment, several more Olympians fell under the mechanical scorpion's sonic charge and instantaneous slash. Although in terms of attack ability, these Olympians were not completely unable to fight against the mechanical scorpion, the naturally fragile human body made them unable to resist a high-speed meat grinder.
Therefore, data flow was really just a fleeting cloud...
"Harsh Winter Assault!"
A cold female voice suddenly sounded, and then a pale blue halo swept across the world in the blink of an eye. The steel bars and cement slabs that came into view were immediately covered with crystal clear frost after this halo flashed past. It was as if a cold winter had instantly descended on the ruins, turning everything into a world of ice and snow.
As the main target of Harsh Winter Assault, a layer of ice armor quickly condensed on the body of the mechanical scorpion, especially the six ferocious alloy limbs, which had completely sunk into a thick layer of ice.
"You guys retreat first!" Medusa's face was pale as she said to the only two subordinates left beside her. It seemed that using such a skill had also caused her a lot of damage. "I'll hold her back... Don't talk nonsense! Retreat! "
"Madam Medusa..." One of the subordinates hesitantly opened his mouth.
"Crack … crack …" The mechanical scorpion in the ice trembled slightly. The super strong ice armor that Medusa used all her strength to create was quickly covered with cracks at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing this scene, the faces of the two subordinates who wanted to show their loyalty for the last time immediately turned into 83 years old cabbages that they had treasured until now.
"Madam Medusa, please take care!"
After saying this, the two "loyal" subordinates had already rushed into the distance like wild dogs out of control, stirring up a cloud of dust.
* Crack … Huala … *
The sound of the ice armor shattering called Medusa's attention. She turned her head and saw that the upper body of the mechanical scorpion had completely broken free from the ice. The nearly three-meter-long alloy scorpion tail swayed slightly, pointing in the direction of the two Olympians. Then the armor at the end of its tail opened like a blooming flower bud, revealing a blood-red crystal that was constantly brightening inside.
As soon as an ominous feeling passed through her mind, the tip of the blood-red crystal burst out two red laser lights in a row, burning the two psychics who had not run far into a cloud of green smoke.
The sound of ice shattering could be heard continuously. The Armored Scorpion finally broke free from the thick ice on its mechanical limbs. Then, it walked toward Medusa unhurriedly. Although the dual blades in her hands had killed more than ten psychics, there was not a single trace of blood on them at the moment. The surface of the blades was surrounded by blue and white lightning, and all the blood was evaporated in an instant.
On the other side of the Armored Scorpion, the young woman, whose entire body was surrounded by several ice shields, revealed an expression of fighting to the death. Even though her courage was commendable, just from her expression, one could tell what kind of disadvantage she was in right now.
In all fairness, with Medusa's strength, she should not have been so passive. When she exerted her power, she could even affect the local weather to a certain extent. The extreme cold could make steel on Earth as fragile as sand. If her opponent was a human, even if that person had an SSS-level power, it would not bode well in such a low temperature. But when facing an armored scorpion, her power was severely weakened. The superalloy from Schilling Technology was not afraid of low temperature. Medusa could freeze an organic life, but not a mechanical scorpion.
It was just like Medivh's battle with Joujoutai.
Just as Medusa was prepared to fight to the death, the Mech monster suddenly stood on the spot. Then, as if it was reporting to someone, it said loudly and sonorously, "Mission, annihilate the enemy. Incomplete. One person survived!"
"Mission changed. Capture the enemy. Vega accepts the mission!"
Even though Medusa didn't know who this mechanical scorpion was reporting to, she understood that she wouldn't die. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Even though she was already prepared to die in battle when she joined the organization, she still couldn't accept being killed by a mechanical monster out of nowhere. She might be deceiving herself, but Medusa really felt lucky to have escaped with her life.
Vega stunned the defenseless Medusa and put her on his back. He then went to the fortification where Little Bubble was hiding and gave a military salute. "Sir, Schilling Armored Scorpion Vega reporting for duty! The enemy has been annihilated. You are safe! "
"Ugh …"
After a moment of silence, Little Bubble's somewhat aggrieved and depressed voice came from the fortification.
The straightforward Vega did not understand what Little Bubble meant. He was stunned for a moment and then repeated meticulously, "Sir! The enemy has been annihilated! You are safe. "
"Ugh …"
Little Bubble replied vaguely in her own invented language again. She then began to hit the alloy armor of the fortification anxiously.
"Sir?"
Vega tilted his head in confusion. Suddenly, the voice of his highest ranking officer rang in his mind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Vega, help me cut open this iron shell. This little idiot forgot to close the door …"
