Escape Alive
Upon seeing the Super Weapon activated, everyone's first reaction was stunned, because no one expected Super Weapon to be activated. Granma clenched her fists; she hadn't expected the other party to openly deceive her, their true purpose being to take the Super Weapon away.
She was also the first to attack the Super Weapon. The knife in her hand looked similar to a kitchen knife, but when she swung it, the terrifying Blade Intent was no less than that of Sharp.
After seeing Granma's attack, the others also launched their own attacks, trying to stop the Super Weapon from rising upwards.
However, none of the attacks caused any reaction after landing on the surface of the Super Weapon, not even the slightest tremor.
Gu Ding, who was initially worried about the Super Weapon's defensive capabilities, was relieved after discovering that all attacks were ineffective.
Just when Gu Ding thought it was safe, Sharp's actions startled him. The other man leaped high into the air, trying to jump onto the hull of the boat.
Upon witnessing this, Robert simply pressed a button, and a cannon on the Super Weapon aimed at Sharp and fired.
Sharp dared not be careless in the face of the super weapon's attack. He quickly swung his sword and used the recoil to adjust his position, barely avoiding the blow.
The artillery fire struck the ground, instantly reducing the area within a ten-kilometer radius to dust, as if struck by a meteorite. Everyone on the battlefield leaped high into the air to avoid the horrific attack.
After encountering that level of artillery fire, no one dared to make a move. If Sharp had been hit, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
Robert continued to raise the superweapon's position according to Sea Emperor's calculations until Sea Emperor called a halt, at which point the superweapon stopped rising.
When everyone saw the superweapon hovering in mid-air, they all had a bad feeling. They anticipated that the reason it stopped was because it had found the best angle to attack, so that it could wipe out everyone present and slaughter them all.
Meanwhile, the three of them, including Gu Ding, each crawled into Escape Pod. Under Robert's control, the Super Weapon ejected the three Escape Pod.
When everyone below saw the Escape Pod eject, it was already out of everyone's attack range. It quickly rose straight up above the clouds and then sped towards the port.
Less than a minute later, the Escape Pod crashed in an uninhabited area on the edge of the desert.
After the three men exited the Escape Pod, Robert set all three Escape Pod to self-destruct mode, and then the three men walked toward the port.
In less than five minutes, the three arrived at the port. After the Sea Emperor distracted the two watchers once again, the three slipped onto the ship.
Almost simultaneously, the self-destruct program of the Super Weapon in the desert began its countdown and emitted a loud alarm, which Robert had set up in advance.
[Self-destruction countdown, minutes]
[Self-destruction countdown: 19 minutes]
Upon hearing this voice coming from the two Super Weapons, many people finally realized what those three petty thieves had just done.
Granma finally realized that the three people who escaped from the Escape Pod had kept their word. She turned the Smart Ring on her hand and said to Vannaribo, "Let's go. We've been helped out of our way this time."
Sharp had no intention of giving up the pursuit. The power of that Super Weapon's shot was already terrifying enough, and he didn't know what the consequences of self-destruction would be.
Looking at the Super Weapon that had already been excavated, he shook his head helplessly. No one had enough Storage Space to accommodate it. They could only wait until the other two Super Weapon -destructed before seeing if this one was intact. He immediately gave the order to retreat, "Everyone, evacuate this desert."
The Masked Man also withdrew from the battle; his strength was in no way inferior to Wendell's.
Wendell retorted angrily, "I don't care which Universe Country you're from. If we find out, we will definitely appeal to the Federal Government Headquarters about your shameless behavior."
The Masked Man completely ignored Wendell's threat and disappeared into the distance with a few leaps.
"Muscle man, this thing is about to self-destruct. Should we stay and film it?" Ulif suggested.
"If you want to die, then stay here. I already have a better candidate for the first mate position." Lex said, and then he fled frantically towards the port.
"Muscle man, you're dreaming! The first mate position is mine!" Ulif immediately chased after him. "One day, the captain's position will be mine too!"
While the people in the desert were scattering like birds and beasts, Gu Ding and his two companions had already returned to the cockpit.
"Let's go, Sea Emperor!" Only after returning to the Grey Eagle did Gu Ding finally feel at ease. This encounter on Konstruk Star was far too perilous; even the slightest misstep could have resulted in the annihilation of the entire team.
"Tell me your next destination," the Sea Emperor asked.
Just as Gu Ding was still pondering with his chin in his hand, Liliath noticed Robert's unusual behavior.
Robert's body began to liquefy again, slowly turning back into the metal sphere that Gu Ding had first seen him in.
"What happened to Robert?" Liliath asked upon seeing this.
"This reaction indicates that the Energy Crystal has been completely consumed. If it were a complete Energy Crystal, it could function normally using light energy. But since what you obtained before was only a fragment of the Energy Crystal, its light energy operation is incomplete, and the energy within the Energy Crystal should have already been exhausted," Sea Emperor explained.
"Where can we find these Energy Crystal?" Gu Ding asked hurriedly.
"I don't know," the Sea Emperor said in a low voice. "According to my database, their people moved all the Energy Crystal during the Great Migration in the Middle Ancient Era. All known mineral resources were mined out by them during the war."
"Is it not on Konstruk Star anymore? If there were fragments of Energy Crystal when Robert was excavated, then it's possible that there are fragments elsewhere as well, right?" Gu Ding asked, frowning.
"I spoke with Robert before. He was the only Mechanical Race left behind. Those Energy Crystal fragments were the result of the Energy Crystal within his body being shattered." The Sea Emperor gave a negative answer. "Besides, this planet is simply not suitable for staying here. If we don't escape now, once the military arrives at the port, we probably won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"Let's leave this planet first and then figure out a solution," Liliath suggested.
(Thanks to rebuliyas for the donation. A hospital check-up revealed it wasn't a cold, but gastroenteritis causing the fever, which in turn led to a rapid heart rate and then a headache... I was wondering yesterday why I didn't have any cold symptoms like sneezing or a runny nose. I've learned something new this time!)
