"Hahaha! I'm out, I'm out!"
Just as the Tiandao temporarily stabilized the ' Eternal Magnetic Sphere ' in the B4 Prison Area, a deafening burst of maniacal laughter came from not far away.
The next second, the cell door of ' B4 Area 03 Cell ' was blasted away by a heavy punch, and the heavy alloy door panel crashed to the ground with a piercing thud.
As the alloy gate slammed shut, a giant, over two meters tall and resembling a humanoid Smart Machine weapon, slowly emerged from it.
And it was after this guy appeared that a sharp alarm rang throughout the entire B4 area.
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]
[High-risk individual in Sector B4, Heavy Punch, Charliek, breaches containment!]
But the alarm had only gone off for a couple of seconds when it abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed its neck.
"Huh? Why did that stupid alarm stop?"
Heavy Punch Chalk scratched his head, his mechanical prosthetic eye flashing a confused red light.
"I turned it off."
Not far away, the Tiandao, who was stabilizing the Eternal Magnetic Sphere, did not turn his head.
His tone was so calm, as if he were talking about today's weather.
Upon hearing this, Charlie turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the Tiandao.
Seeing that Celestial Star Eye seemed to be busy stabilizing the large sphere and had no time to pay attention to him, Charlie suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming metal teeth.
"Kid, although you seem to have done me a big favor, but..."
He slowly raised his enormous steam-powered iron fist, which was emitting white steam, and the smile on his face instantly turned ferocious.
"I really didn't like the tone of your voice when you spoke to me just now, so... have you thought about which part of your upper body you'd use to apologize to me?"
Right after Charlie finished speaking, basic information about Charlie appeared on the screen.
[Name: Charliek ( Destructive Heavy Fist )]
[ Star Source: Vapor Compression]
[Level: Rank 3 Upper ]
[Description: An underground fighting champion from the early Steam Capital, 90% of his body is modified with cyborg Smart Machine, possessing fighting skills and physical strength beyond human imagination; a severe case of Quantum Mental Illness.]
Symptoms of Quantum Mental Illness
[1. Blurred Human-Machine Boundary: Excessive Smart Machine modification may cause people to lose their sense of self-identity as humans, leading to cognitive confusion.]
2. Emotional Stripping: Excessive mechanical modification weakens the ability to empathize, manifesting as indifference, violence, or antisocial tendencies.
3. Distorted Reality Perception: Excessive immersion in the Quantum Space can lead to hallucinations, memory confusion, and in severe cases, an inability to distinguish between reality and virtuality.
Through Charliek, the Stellaris Production Team introduced the symptoms of ' Quantum Mental Illness ' to Dimensional Audience for the first time.
As for this particular quantum disease, the Tiandao is actually not unfamiliar with it.
Because if Caroline had left the Quantum Space too early in the Season 1 without him, she would have experienced similar symptoms.
This leads to the initial symptoms of Quantum Mental Illness, namely ' Personality Deficiency '.
Even a genius like Caroline, Twin Star Mechanical, suffers from Quantum Mental Illness, let alone the former king of the underground fighting arena in the Steam Capital Destructive Heavy Fist, Charlie, whose body is 90% Smart Machine- modified.
This guy is a complete madman.
The rationality and composure that should have been present in the Mechanical Star Envoy seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only endless indulgence and madness.
However, even madmen have their uses; otherwise, Tiandao wouldn't have deliberately turned off the alarm, giving the other party a precious chance to escape.
The out-of-control Eternal Magnetic Sphere needs some 'tools' to stabilize it.
To avoid being detected by the Steam Branch above.
"Hey kid, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me!"
Seeing that Tiandao still ignored him, Charlie suddenly raised his voice by eight octaves.
He strode over to Tiandao's side, looking down at the figure who was a head shorter than him.
"You cowardly coward, I'll take off your mask first, and then I'll teach you how to talk to me properly."
"Too high."
The Tiandao suddenly spoke.
Charliek, who was holding his fist, paused for a moment, his mechanical eye darting around, and said with a puzzled look, "Too high? What's too high?"
But the next second, he understood why Tiandao had said that.
"I said, you're standing too high."
The moment the words of Tiandao fell, an invisible pressure suddenly descended upon Charliek.
At that moment, Charliek felt as if an invisible mountain had suddenly been placed on his back, and his mechanical joints creaked under the strain.
He gritted his teeth and held on for only a few seconds before his knees buckled, and his body uncontrollably knelt before the Tiandao.
His heavy weight caused a noticeable dent in the hard metal floor when he knelt down.
Meanwhile, in order to show the immense pressure that the Tiandao's ' Gravity Field ' brought to Charliek, the Stellaris Production Team even made the screen of the anime show have obvious 'screen glitches'.
Numerous tiny black lines appeared around Charliek, forming a stark contrast with his ferocious expression and the calm eyes beneath the Tiandao Mask not far away.
True powerhouses don't need to do anything; a single sentence is enough to demonstrate their terrifying strength and powerful aura.
This scene instantly brought a long-lost sense of familiarity to the Dimensional Audience.
That familiar feeling of strength just from standing there!
They had only ever experienced this feeling with Tiandao and the Doctor in the past.
Could it be?!
[ Eternal Magnetic Prison, Section B4]
"Are you kidding me?"
Charlie braced himself on the ground with both hands, his head forced down, his electronic eyes flashing red light wildly.
It should be noted that even though he had been imprisoned in the Eternal Magnetic Prison for many years, causing most of his Mechanical Device to be in a dormant state, his strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.
But he is, after all, Rank 3 Mechanical Star Envoy!
Based solely on the basic performance of these Smart Machine organs and prosthetic bodies, he was enough to crush most Rank 3 Star Envoy.
Yet here I am, kneeling down at the other person's feet with a thud after just one sentence. Just who is this kid?!
No, I have to find a way to stand up!
With this in mind, the ' Smart Machine engine' within Charliek's body began to operate at its long-awaited high power.
Along with this, many of the Mechanical Device on his body that were originally in a dormant state finally began to slowly awaken.
As he sensed the return of his power, Charliek's expression became increasingly ferocious.
He slowly broke through the 'gravity blockade' of the Tiandao and stood up again.
Looking at Tiandao still standing next to the permanent magnet sphere, Charliek, who thought he had regained control of the situation, felt confident once again that he was in control.
"Kid, I..."
But his words caught in his throat as soon as he spoke.
Because a special energy ball, shimmering with black light, was hovering between his eyebrows.
He sensed a distinct aura of death emanating from this energy sphere.
Upon seeing the black energy ball that suddenly appeared on the screen, the comments on the Dimensional Screen instantly erupted.
Because they were all too familiar with this thing; it was the Tiandao's signature Star Energy Technique — Black Azure!
'!! Black Azure! It's Lord Tiandao's Black Azure!'
"My youth is back! Who can withstand this move, hahaha!"
Charlie: I just stood up and got shoved in the face? This isn't how the script is going, director!!!
At the same time, Tiandao's voice came through the mask, and this time he did not disguise his voice in any way.
Did I say you could stand up?
