"How, how could this happen?"
Inside Abandoned Factory where it is pouring rain.
Jakes fell on his back in the turbid mud mixed with metal fragments and rainwater. His lower body was connected to Giant Mechanical Rat's decapitated head, and his face was filled with disbelief.
And in his tightened pupils, there was a striking reflection of Silver-armored girl——Vivian standing in the rain curtain.
Gear Church's latest combat mecha, Silverlight II, shines with a cold mechanical luster in the acid rain, perfectly fitting the slender figure of Vivian.
It seems to be telling Jakes how powerful this mecha is.
But compared to this, what made Jakes's heart palpitate even more.
In fact, it's the Minute Hand Longsword in Vivian's hand that is constantly making a ticking sound.
Looking at this long sword, Jakes, whose life was already hanging by a thread, said feebly, "Is this the true power of Black Iron Clock?"
"It seems that William did give me a chance to change my past as he said, but I didn't grasp it."
Hearing this, Vivian said calmly, "My father did not unlock these two abilities back then because he spent all his abilities on the 'Hour Hand Greatsword' called 'Guardian'."
"Is this so"
"Yeah."
[Black Iron Clock·Minute Hand Longsword]
[Effect: Increase the user's time flow rate by 200%]
[Note: Compared to Hour Hand Greatsword's 'Time Reversal' and Seconds Hand Rapier's 'Extreme Cutting', this is a killing art purely for combat]
Different from 'Hour Hand Greatsword' which reverses the time around the body and focuses on protection.
And 'Seconds Hand Rapier' which can greatly improve cutting ability and focus on offense.
'Minute Hand Longsword' is a balanced expression of the combination of the two.
And this amplification effect can not only act on Vivian's body.
It can also work on the 'Mecha Armor' she wears.
Although there is no Vivian like Smart Machine Star Source, it cannot have the huge 'Computing Power' like the ordinary Mechanical Star Envoy.
Then maximize the potential of this Smart Machine equipment.
But different Star Source Effect is paired with specific Smart Machine equipment.
It can also display the wonderful reaction of '1+1>2' at specific times.
This is the case for 'Minute Hand Longsword' and 'Gear Mecha Armor' of Vivian.
The same goes for Tiandao's original 'Vector Control' and 'Portable Mechanical Nexus'.
Although Gear Church is 'Mechanical God Cult'.
But this does not mean that the believer in Church must be Smart Machine.
And as Star Envoy that is not Mechanical type.
Vivian can become the Silver Knight of Gear Church that only Rank 2 Star Envoy can perform at the level of 'Rank 1 Star Envoy'.
There is certainly a reason for this.
And this reason is her powerful fighting talent.
In the world of Star Envoy, level never means everything.
Because there are always some geniuses who can break the numerical gap.
Use its own powerful 'mechanism' to defeat enemies that are originally difficult to defeat.
Vivian. is such a genius who can break the rules.
"My father gave you a chance back then, but I won't give you a chance again."
Boom!
In the thunder of heavy rain.
A silver figure turned into a flash of light that tore through the rain curtain, drawing a perfect time trajectory with the Minute Hand Longsword in his hand.
One sword... cut off Jakes's head.
Real world, Station 13.
'Grass! This new character is so handsome! '
'One sword has three time forms and functions, I am blown away by this setting! '
'I just said her identity is not simple! It turns out to be the daughter of the righteous uncle from last season! '
'In front of you, isn't the identity of Vivian very obvious? When she first appeared on the stage, the production team specially gave a close-up of the children's watch. '
"You are not Mechanical type, but you can make great use of mechanical armor. This is the true level of technology."
'It turns out that Star Envoy, which is not Mechanical type Star Source, can also be added to Gear Church whose main body is Mechanical Star Envoy? Gained knowledge. '
Just when Dimensional Audience was amazed by Vivian's gorgeous performance for the first time.
The scene of the drama switched to the battlefield of Abandoned Factory underground. Chen Kong.
And to Dimensional Audience's surprise.
The enemy Chen Kong encountered at this time was actually an "acquaintance" from the past, Liu Ma of Stellaris Ranking NO.35.
He was one of the twenty-four "losers" who were sent out of the base early by Doctor because they failed the assessment.
[Name: Liu Ma]
[Stellaris Ranking: NO.35]
[Star Core: Golden Demon Bull]
[Star Source: Nether Warhorse]
Chen Kong looked at the big man walking out of the shadow of the passage, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "No, how come these days everyone is wearing suits and ties, and they look like dogs."
"Liu Ma, is this what you should wear!"
I heard Chen Kong's half-ridiculing, half-complaining words.
The two-meter-two-meter-tall man pulled open the tight tie around his neck.
Then he wiped the pair of shiny horns on his forehead with a handkerchief, snorted coldly and said, "Humph, what do you mean, are these the clothes I should wear? I am out to help the company run business, what if I don't dress better and embarrass the company?"
"But don't you feel uncomfortable wearing this kind of clothes with your figure?"
Facing Chen Kong's words, Liu Ma was silent for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.
"There is no other way. There are so many choices for workers."
"Song, if you are dissatisfied with the clothes I wear, you can go back and report it to our boss. I won't say anything anyway, because she will deduct my salary."
Speaking of this, Liu Ma suddenly changed the subject.
"Don't just talk about me. What's going on with your bartender's clothes?"
"I'm thinking that with your face and body, you can't be a pretty boy and trick a rich woman into spending money impulsively in a bar."
"Is it possible that people like Rust Iron Hell have strong tastes and like to have fun with novelties?"
"."
Silence, complete silence.
Chen Kong I didn't expect that after so many years, I would finally meet my original 'companion'.
As a result, this guy came up with personal attacks and didn't play by the rules at all.
And this guy Liu Ma has made it clear that he has a naive face and a dark heart.
He didn't give Chen Kong any time to slow down, and immediately continued to make up his sword.
"Also, Sora, why do I feel like you haven't made any progress in the past few years?"
"Not only is Star Source still at level one, but even Star Core has not been able to awaken. What have you been doing in the past six years?"
"Star Core. Can you still awaken?"
Chen Kong was stunned, obviously not knowing anything about this.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ma fell silent.
He covered his forehead speechlessly. "The fact that you are able to survive till now is all due to good luck."
"When Final Assessment happened, it was only because your sister and Yagami Rin were with you that a guy like you was lucky enough to pass Final Assessment."
"You don't even know Star Core Awakening, you are really embarrassing us Starborn."
In the face of Liu Ma's sarcasm.
Chen Kong retorted on the spot, "What do you mean, I rely entirely on luck. I am ranked last in the assessment every year. Don't you also be ranked second to last in the assessment every year? What's the difference between the two of us?"
"Fart!"
Liu Ma blew out two streaks of white air from his nose. He looked at Chen Kong with wide eyes and said, "What do you mean there is no difference between us? The difference is huge, okay!"
"I just didn't work hard enough, so I ended up second to last every year."
"But I am different now. I have not only completed Star Core Awakening, but I am also a key training target of the new company, which shows that I have a bright future!"
"How is it any different from you, the guy who sells out your appearance!"
"I didn't betray my appearance!"
"Yes, yes, you want to sell it and no one will buy it."
"..."
It's hard, the fist is hard.
Faced with Liu Ma's successive psychic attacks.
Chen Kong only felt that his chest was tight.
Seeing his incompetent and furious look, Liu Ma couldn't help but laugh.
His laughter infected Chen Kong. After the two looked at each other, they laughed together.
But after laughing, the two of them fell into silence together with a tacit understanding.
After a while, Chen Kong spoke first.
"By the way, how is everyone doing now? Do you have any news?"
Liu Ma thought for a moment and then said, "That guy Jing Liuli is now backed by the Shuangyin family and is already a well-known star in the New Federation. The appearance fee for a concert starts at tens of millions, not to mention various endorsements and advertisements. Counting the money makes your hands cramp."
"As for your sister, she is now in the Blazing Sun Family, and those guys regard her as a treasure, and they almost treat your sister as an ancestor."
"As for Caroline, I heard that she seemed to be apprenticed to General President of the Star Envoy Association. I don't know the specific situation because that was the news I received several years ago."
"Although everyone is no longer at the base, they are developing very well."
Chen Kong couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "Yes, when I was at the base, although the place inside was small, it rained heavily."
"This made me think that in the bigger world outside, the rain should only be heavier than at the base. But after the results came out, I suddenly found out."
Before Chen Kong could finish what he said, Liu Ma answered, "I noticed that the sky is clear outside and there is no rain at all, right?"
"Yeah."
Speaking of this, Chen Kong suddenly changed the subject. "By the way, you should also understand the situation of brother Tiandao, right?"
"After all, if I know something, there's no reason why you shouldn't know it."
Liu Ma nodded, and then easily slapped away a boulder that suddenly fell from his head.
"Of course, after all, what Tiandao did originally scared Association, so much so that even Benjamin sent back part of his battle video."
"But they still relentlessly salvage the waters where our base sank, trying to find the body of Tiandao."
"But what happened."
Liu Ma spread his hands and said with a smile, ". They found nothing."
"Then do you think Brother Tiandao is dead or alive now?"
Faced with this question, Liu Ma looked at Chen Kong meaningfully and said, "Don't you also have an answer to this question?"
"Same."
Chen Kong looked at Liu Ma and said in a complicated tone, "Reason tells me that in the situation that brother Tiandao was in, he will definitely die and cannot die again."
"After all, his injuries at the time were so serious that he couldn't even do 'Quantum Leap'. Naturally, it was impossible for him to leave the base before it exploded."
"But my gut tells me."
Before Chen Kong could finish his words, Liu Ma said categorically, "My intuition is, how could a monster like that die?"
"Yes."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then sighed.
After all, don't look at the various cynicism and quarrels in their words just now.
But in fact, there is still a feeling between the two of them meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
The silence between the two did not last long, and was interrupted by a violent vibration above their heads.
Looking at the constantly shaking ceiling and the continuous fierce battles above.
Liu Ma shook the gold-plated "Mechanical Bible" in his hand and said, "Song, if you beat me, this thing will be yours."
"After all, the boss just asked me to run an errand and deliver a 'courier' to someone."
"Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I discovered that there was an inexplicable missing item on the express delivery list."
"My performance has been deducted anyway, so why not let me be willful for once and make a bet with you."
"After all, I think you're here for this, right?"
Chen Kong nodded, indicating that he should indeed come here for this thing.
In the case where Vivian has not stated it clearly.
Only the devil would know that his real target this time was actually a little green-haired girl sitting on the roof of the factory, holding potato chips and eating them.
"Liu Ma, be careful, after all, you are not the only one who has made some progress in the past few years."
After saying that, Chen Kong's figure suddenly disappeared in front of Liu Ma.
Liu Ma not only didn't care about this, but also smiled and said, "Are you still playing with your Presence Erasure?"
"Sora, this is it"
Liu Ma raised his hand and suddenly punched the side.
". You said you are making progress!"
And in that position.
Chen Kong, who had already eliminated his presence, was forced by Liu Ma to show up and hide.
With just one face-to-face encounter, Chen Kong's Star Core ability was cracked. He was already at a disadvantage.
PS: Today's update is over. The company is working overtime. It's really hard for Pang Hu.
