A Kill and an Encounter

The mechanical giant now completely shifted its attack target to Lister.

Its enormous body moved quickly within the small space.

As soon as he got close, he kicked him straight away.

Being mechanical giants created by Alchemy Civilization, their basic fighting techniques are still the same old ones.

The enormous metal foot completely covered Lister's head, obscuring all view of the surrounding area.

Fortunately, thanks to the Killing Intent Wave, Lister still had a clear understanding of his surroundings.

He immediately took a step back, followed by Knee Strike.

"Boom!"

A massive blast wave swept across the entire area with the sound of impact.

To the astonishment of onlookers, the diminutive Lister actually managed to completely withstand a kick from a mechanical giant whose size and weight were dozens of times greater than his own with the simplest Knee Strike.

Even to Wang Yue's already incredulous gaze, the Alchemical Mechanical Giant was lifted several tens of centimeters off the ground, as if it had been sent flying by Lister's Knee Strike.

"Attacked: Damage taken: 1971 points."

"Attack: Deals 201 damage, Strength check applied, knockback effect inflicted."

Despite its enormous size and high damage output, the Alchemical Mechanical Giant's strength is primarily limited to skill damage.

In a true head-on clash, the increase in basic attributes is enormous.

In this aspect, Lister's 120 points in strength attribute far exceed that of his opponent. Even if he takes more damage, the knockback effect will still be there.

The blade in his hand extended again, slashing directly at the energy crystal above its head.

Critical Strike: Deals 1209 damage, ignores defense for 48960 points, and deals an additional 81600 true damage.

With a single strike, the opponent's health plummeted from 56% to 21%, instantly entering the third stage.

With a "buzz!" sound, Lister's hair suddenly stood on end, and he felt a strong magnetic field shock throughout his body.

"Attention: You have been marked by an enemy unit and are currently paralyzed. Your Agility has been reduced by 30 points, and your attack speed has been reduced by 30%."

"The Tenacious Heart's has taken effect, granting immunity to 30% of paralysis effects (Note: Because the paralysis effect is only S-rank, it cannot provide complete immunity)."

"Merrick Saber Technique has taken effect. Remaining effects include 40% paralysis, reduced Agility by 12 points, and reduced attack speed by 12%."

The surface of the Alchemical Mechanical Giant in front of them was completely red, as if lava was about to erupt.

All four attributes increased by thirty points, and in a short time the gap between him and Lister in the four attributes was less than ten points.

Under the paralysis effect, his agility attribute is 2 points higher than his.

The left arm's punch arrived at his face in the blink of an eye, Lister could only dodge by relying on the powerful sense of the Killing Intent Wave the fist.

There was no opportunity to draw his sword for the time being; given his current strength, he dared not engage in a head-on confrontation with this mechanical giant.

He could exchange a punch or a kick for a single strike, and before he could even kill his opponent, he might be killed by this mechanical giant in one blow.

"Boom!"

Another violent explosion rang out.

The attacks suddenly slowed down considerably; it was Wang Yue making another move.

The S-rank Alchemical Mechanical Frenzy has triggered the dizziness effect of the self-destructing little robot once again.

Although the immune response has been greatly enhanced, it is still not completely immune.

All movements involuntarily slowed down, giving Lister room to strike.

Having dodged another heavy blow from his opponent, Lister could feel the magnetic field around him growing stronger.

If he waited any longer, the shock from the static electricity would definitely kill him.

Taking advantage of the brief opening, he swung the blade through the air once more.

"Pfft!"

The blade of the Black Leaf Laceration Blade exploded again, striking the joint of the opponent's mechanical leg from an extremely long distance, severing it completely.

Unfortunately, the unique alloy reattached itself in the next instant.

Fortunately, the mechanical giant still staggered, Lister immediately gathered his strength in the hilt of his sword, drawing it swiftly without regard for the specific target.

"Boom!"

The Alchemical Mechanical Giant finally ran out of health and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

With only 80,000 health points remaining, Lister's two consecutive attacks finally depleted his health bar.

Congratulations on successfully killing the enemy! You have gained 890,000 experience points.

At the same time, a cold, mechanical voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Assessment passed: The administrative region is now open for operation."

"Boom~ Crack~"

The sound of massive gears turning filled the air.

Lister sheathed his sword, while Wang Yue, who was standing nearby, was in relatively good condition but had exhausted his strength and was panting heavily again.

Only the alchemical puppet that had been following behind was now completely gone, with only a skeletal frame and a pile of rotten flesh hanging on it.

Surprisingly, the alchemical puppet could actually follow Lister as he moved around.

After a while, Lister found that the space he was in began to move rapidly.

Until they reached a large tungsten-gold gate, which was now open.

He led the way into the area, and although the Knee Strike he received during the fierce fight cost him some health, his overall condition was good.

Even without changing jobs, his health points were passively maintained, so it wasn't a big problem.

Behind the door was what looked like a huge office area, with energy crystals used for recording information scattered all over the floor.

As you walk along, you'll find many human bones by the roadside, and blood that has seeped into the desks for years, turning them a dark brown color.

Beyond this area, which resembles a comprehensive administrative district, lies a special conference room containing a small, box-like machine.

It looked quite exquisite, and he sensed that it contained enormous energy.

"Congratulations, you have discovered a signal transmission device. This device can send information to the Galactic Federation."

So this is the real switch to activate Act Five?

Lister for a moment, then turned and left. Even if this device could contact the Galactic Federation, it was definitely irrelevant to his mission.

The signal emitted from the Alchemy Civilization region most likely came from the Galactic Alliance.

His second job advancement task is about registering a civilization with the Galactic Federation. He will only consider skipping the third and fourth acts and starting the fifth act ahead of time if there is really no other way.

Further ahead, there were still the parliament hall and several meeting rooms.

At some point, Lister sensed the presence of human life forms and quickly headed in the direction he perceived.

After passing through more than a dozen areas, we finally arrived at a new hall.

This area is significantly larger than the others, and based on a rough assessment, it appears to be the area within the city representing the referendum.

Wang Yue's surprised voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"This... how come... there's a mechanical giant too?"

Before Lister stood an Alchemical Mechanical Giant, almost identical to the one that had appeared on the outside, right in the center of the hall.

And Kavin Deer, whom he had been searching for, finally appeared before him, hovering in the air.

With the skill of an artist, he meticulously applied intricate alchemical materials to the mechanical giant!

Each piece of alchemical alloy in his hand was grade A, and there was also a pile of few remaining parts at his feet.

Lister suspected that Kavin had taken all the Grade A alchemical materials from Hoffman's warehouse.

"He... he can actually create..."

"Shh~!"

Lister immediately interrupted Wang Yue's surprise and gestured for silence.

He knew Kavin Deer's personality all too well; if he were stronger than the other man, things would be fine.

But the system scan immediately made Lister lose all interest in competing.

The Kavin Deer in front of him was already level 80, and his overall rating was S.
