"Isn't it strange? Why did it suddenly stop obeying you?"
Fischer did not answer. At that moment, he was focused on fighting for ownership of his own mech.
The mech that had once moved as readily as his own arm now gave no response at all.
Every command he issued was like a stone sinking into the sea, receiving not the slightest echo.
"Still struggling?"
Tiandao's hand on his shoulder slowly tightened.
Very soon, a crisp crack rang out from Fischer's shoulder.
The incomparably sturdy golden mech armor immediately split with countless cracks beneath Tiandao's gentle grip.
Those cracks spread from the shoulder guard and quickly crawled across the rest of the golden mech armor.
Through his neural sensors, Fischer soon felt the tearing pain.
Yet shortly after the pain reached his brain, he finally found the key to breaking the deadlock amid the vast flood of data.
Bang!
Dense steam vents suddenly sprang from his body, spewing out great clouds of white steam that instantly swallowed both Tiandao and Fischer.
Using the steam as cover, Fischer decisively shed his heavy golden armor and pulled away from Tiandao.
"Casting off your shell like a golden cicada? Interesting."
When the vast white fog of steam dispersed, Tiandao brushed the lingering vapor from his body and looked toward the distance with interest.
Fischer had completely abandoned his "golden mech armor," revealing his true body clad in a silver-gray skintight Combat Suit.
Freed from the restraints of the mech, Fischer had finally regained his precious freedom.
"Using Vector Control to manipulate metal, even certain quantum components..."
"Tiandao Siming, you truly are the greatest hidden danger to us Mechanical Star Envoys."
Tiandao slowly emerged from the steam. The Quantum Cube in his left hand kept spinning, devouring Quantum Information invisible to the naked eye
