Undying Warriors (III)
"Haha, it really worked!" the Little Black Cat laughed and said.
"That's natural; nothing in this world is immortal. It's just that due to specific circumstances, killing them is somewhat difficult. However, if you send them elsewhere, it will be very difficult for them to revive," Fanxin chuckled and said.
He had suspected this for a long time: these things weren't unkillable, but rather that someone was secretly manipulating them, causing them to recombine.
However, if he moved these things to another location, then the entity secretly manipulating things would be unable to do so, because the robots they took away were no longer in the Mechanism City.
"Boss, you need to step up your game! These are all materials!" the Little Black Cat chuckled.
Its collection speed was far too slow, while the speed of Fanxin was much faster. Therefore, it hoped that Fanxin could be more efficient. If so, things would be much easier.
"Don't worry, I'll help you," Fanxin nodded and said.
Then, without further ado, the two began to plunder the property.
Even if each of them had a huge appetite, they could never get enough to eat.
Their madness terrified the entity that was secretly controlling everything. In the end, that entity actually ordered all the robots to be withdrawn, preventing them from attacking them any further.
There's no way around it; Fanxin and the Little Black Cat's actions were just too crazy. In just a short while, a third of the robots here are gone. Anyone who sees this wouldn't be able to stay calm.
"Gone?" The Little Black Cat said, somewhat annoyed. "Damn it, I haven't had my fill yet!"
"Hehe, it seems they're scared?" Fanxin said with a smile.
"Then what should we do?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"Let's keep going. Since there's so much metal here, we can't just let it go," Fanxin said. "Both you and I need these things."
His Diamond Beast have developed a liking for metal, and every now and then he would feed them some. The Little Black Cat also needs metal; it wants to build robots and repair ships, both of which require metal.
There was a large amount of metal here, so he naturally wouldn't give it up easily.
"Alright then. But I think things will probably get even more difficult from here on out," the Little Black Cat said.
The robots already know how powerful they are, so they certainly won't send any more minions. This time, those who come out to fight them must be experts.
They must proceed with caution, or they might suffer a great loss.
"That's true. Next, their so-called king should emerge," Fanxin said. "Heh, I'd like to test just how powerful their king is."
"Hmm, boss, I heard that their Ninth King is dead. How did they die?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.
The Ninth King died, which shows that these kings are mortal, not immortal. It's just that you can't find their weaknesses, so you think they are immortal.
It wanted to know how the Ninth King died, so that it could face the remaining kings with composure.
"I don't know either. Let's try and see! I think we can figure it out by trying." Fanxin said helplessly.
He had never seen these creatures before and knew nothing about them. However, Fanxin believed that he would understand everything when they actually fought.
"That's the only way," the Little Black Cat said upon hearing this.
"Let's go, let's go meet that so-called king here," Fanxin said with a smile.
After saying that, he immediately headed forward, with Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat following closely behind.
At this moment, there wasn't a single robot around; they had all run away, presumably worried that the robots would harvest them again.
They continued their journey without encountering any obstacles.
Soon after, they arrived inside the Mechanism City.
Inside the Mechanism City, there wasn't a single person in sight. There were many houses, but most were empty. Dust covered everything, suggesting that no one had lived there for a long time.
Fanxin walked ahead, while Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat followed behind.
"Stop! Don't go any further!" Just as Fanxin and the other two continued walking forward, a disgruntled voice rang out.
Fanxin immediately stopped and looked towards the direction of the sound, saying, "Come out! Stop sneaking around. Let me tell you, if you're thinking of launching a sneak attack, forget it. I'm not afraid of your sneak attacks."
He possesses Observation Haki, so no matter how strange the opponent is, they cannot easily get close to him.
If the other party were to arrive, he could easily block them.
"Leave here, you're not welcome here," the voice said.
"Oh, didn't you want to invite me before? What? Have you changed your mind now?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
"You were the one who went back on your word first, so you can't blame us," the owner of the voice said, dissatisfied.
"Hmph, I didn't go back on my word, I refused," Fanxin said. "I want to know, why do you want me to be your king? Is it to control me?"
"Hmph, since you already know, why ask?" the owner of the voice said.
"Just as I thought!" Fanxin Xin nodded and said, "Luckily I didn't agree, otherwise I would have really fallen into your trap."
He knew it would turn out this way, which is why he didn't agree. If he had agreed then, perhaps he wouldn't have gotten into trouble. But Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat would have definitely suffered a great loss.
"I'm not targeting you, so I hope you won't target me either," the voice said. "Leave; you're not welcome here."
"You're asking me to leave, so you should at least give me something in return!" Fanxin Xin immediately said.
He wouldn't leave easily, because he wanted to know what was inside. What was that mysterious power? It could actually regenerate destroyed robots; it was no ordinary thing.
If he can obtain it and place it inside the ship's hull, then even if his ship is destroyed, he need not fear. Because that power will allow it to rebuild and revive.
"Don't go too far," the owner of the voice snapped, clearly annoyed.
"Hmph, if I want it, you have to give it to me, otherwise I'll destroy this place," Fanxin said domineeringly.
"Are you trying to provoke me?" the owner of the voice said coldly.
"If that's how you see it, then there's nothing I can do," Fanxin said with a shrug.
"That's how I see it, kid. Looks like you won't learn your lesson until you're faced with the truth. In that case, I won't hold back." The owner of the voice was enraged. It immediately launched an attack on Fanxin.
It fired a laser beam at Fanxin. The laser beam was cylindrical and covered a wide area. As soon as it appeared, it enveloped a large area. The area with a radius of five meters centered on Fanxin was completely covered by the laser.
As soon as the laser appeared, it rushed towards Fanxin with lightning speed.
Fanxin looked at the laser beam, his expression changing slightly. Then, without hesitation, he grabbed Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat and sent them into the Diamond Space.
Then, he faced the laser beam alone.
He's strong enough to handle it. But Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat are weak; it would be too much of a stretch for them to face him alone.
Seeing the laser beam approaching, Fanxin stopped wasting words. He leaped into the air, wielding his twin blades, and slashed forward.
Two extremely powerful sword energies burst forth from the twin blades, heading straight for the laser beam.
Soon after, the sword energy and the laser finally collided.
After a stalemate for a while, both sides finally disappeared without a trace.
Fanxin landed atop a tall tower, looking in the direction from which the sound came, and said, "Useless. These things might be useful to ordinary people, but for a king, they're nothing but child's play."
He wasn't lying, because he could have easily avoided it. Your attack, no matter how powerful, is useless if it can't hit the target.
With his Haki protecting him and his Haki perception, he could completely avoid these attacks. In this way, he would not suffer any injury.
"Hmph, a king is indeed difficult to deal with. I originally intended to imprison you and then have you work for me," the voice said. "However, you are too meticulous and refused, leaving me empty-handed."
"That's because I never believe what strangers say," Fanxin said with a smile. "So, no matter how eloquently you speak, it's all useless."
"It seems there's no need for us to talk anymore," the voice said. Fanxin didn't believe the stranger, continuing to speak would only be a waste of breath.
"That's for sure," Fanxin said affirmatively.
"Since that's the case, let's see who's really capable! I want to see just how good you are," said the owner of the voice.
"Come on, I also want to see what your so-called king is capable of," Fanxin said with a chuckle.
He was looking for an opponent to fight, and since the king himself was offering his services, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Having said that, Fanxin stopped wasting words and quickly rushed towards the center.
The owner of the voice stopped talking and began to attack Fanxin frantically, wanting to kill Fanxin right there.
Countless laser beams shot towards Fanxin, so densely packed Fanxin if he couldn't dodge, he would inevitably be hit.
However, Fanxin wasn't worried, because he could easily dodge it. If he couldn't dodge it, he would forcefully cut it open.
He quickly moved towards the center. The owner of the voice seemed to be getting more and more anxious, and the attacks he launched became more and more frequent.
"Haha, the core must be inside!" Fanxin laughed and said.
Fanxin its opponent's anxiety, Fanxin was even more excited. The more anxious its opponent was, the more it was indicating its attack, which made it uneasy.
"Kid, you'd better get out of here, or I won't be so polite," the voice said angrily.
"Unless you offer me something in return, I won't leave." Fanxin scoffed and said, "I don't care about this place. If it's destroyed, don't blame me."
"Don't push your luck!" the owner of the voice shouted angrily.
"I didn't bully you. You were the one who told me to leave, so it's only right that you give me some benefits, isn't it?" Fanxin said matter-of-factly.
"What do you want?" The owner of the voice softened somewhat, because it had attacked Fanxin so many times, but the result was unsatisfactory. Naturally, it was no longer calm.
Fanxin is very powerful; it's impossible for it to kill him easily. And if Fanxin gets close, it will be even more difficult for it.
"Give me that ability to restore robots, and I'll leave immediately," Fanxin said.
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Upon hearing this, the owner of the voice immediately agreed, quite readily.
Fanxin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, because the other party agreed so readily that he could hardly believe it.
"Then hurry up and bring it over," Fanxin urged. Although somewhat surprised, Fanxin Xin immediately understood. This ability was a valuable asset; if he could obtain it, it would be of great help to his ship.
"Here you go." The owner of the voice tossed something over—a fist-sized, luminous object that was extremely dazzling; it was unclear what it was.
Fanxin Xin wrapped his Haki around his hand and then took it.
"This can't be fake, can it?" Fanxin Xin immediately exclaimed.
"Why don't you try it and see?" the owner of the voice snapped impatiently.
Fanxin nodded slightly upon hearing this, then took out a robot and tried it out. When light shone on them, they actually began to rapidly recombine, which was quite bizarre.
"How about it? It's not fake, is it?" the owner of the voice said.
"Yes, it's true." Fanxin nodded affirmatively and said.
"Then you can leave now, don't linger here," the owner of the voice urged. It hoped that Fanxin would leave as soon as possible, because Fanxin posed too great a threat.
Fanxin nodded and asked, "My crew consists of twelve people, as you probably know."
"They're all outside, no longer inside the Mechanism City," the voice said.
"That's good." Fanxin nodded and said, "I hope you're not lying to me, otherwise, I will definitely cut the Mechanism City apart without hesitation."
Those people were his crew members, and he was able to act quickly and decisively. He would never be stingy with his resources. Now that he was leaving, he would naturally take them with him.
"Don't worry, they're just injured, they're not dead," the voice assured them.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Fanxin nodded, and then he walked outside.
The owner of the voice breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fanxin heading outside. If Fanxin hadn't left and had continued to attack inside, he would have been in real trouble.
"They're finally gone. That madman was absolutely insane," the voice said.
