042: I Lived to Shatter Every Chain

Bang! The gate shattered, startling the Grand Duke's guards, who drew their weapons and formed a protective circle in front of the gate.

Two agents from Law Enforcement Division Three, Enlit and Bodella, arrived late. The smoke and the aftershocks of the battle rolled up their coats, hindering their progress.

"As expected, Benjeson was right!"

Enlit immediately switched his sniper rifle to the thermal imaging sight, his eyes gleaming with power, and quickly located several human figures.

Click—

As a "Ranger," she suddenly held her breath, pulled back the bolt, and a series of dark green energy veins lit up on the back of her hand. Her internal energy instantly poured into the gun barrel, and in the narrow space, the energy completely enveloped the bullet, forming a spiral-shaped energy garment.

[Burst Reload]

Bang! The competition-grade trigger was gently pulled, the firing pin ignited the primer, and excess propellant gas was injected into the gas jacket. The bullet spun out, the outer gas jacket offsetting air resistance, passing through the smoke screen, and accurately hitting a humanoid target.

Boom! The bullet collided with the target, and the gunpowder gas remaining in the gas jacket burst out instantly, causing a burst of flame and a secondary acceleration boost, attempting to give the bullet more kinetic energy.

"Hit!"

The objects in the thermal imaging vision were instantly obscured, turning into a grayish-white color. Enlit was delighted, which meant that the gunpowder gas and air were fully mixed, generating a temperature of no less than 1400°C. Ordinary armored units would melt upon encountering this.

However, the "doctor" Bodella beside him did not let his guard down. He threw a flashbang grenade into the smoke and released the nanobots residing in his body, linking them with Enlit. If they were ambushed, his vigorous life force could help them block a fatal blow.

As a doctor in the "Redemption" category, he did not have any prosthetic implants, so his observational skills were not as good as Enlit's. He was busy injecting himself with a bunch of hormones and drugs to improve his vitality and enhance his sensory abilities.

The agents of Law Enforcement Division Three have a significantly different level of professionalism than those of Law Enforcement Division Four. They are cautious and pay great attention to intelligence gathering. A team of four must be equipped with four aspects: fire support, engineering intrusion, information gathering, and frontal breakthrough.

After all, even the Beta-rank is just a stronger living person. Let alone the Alpha Rank, even a legion of mortals could overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

Bodella was not in a good mood because Benjeson had led Zuo Jiajun to fight against Li Aoz, which caused the team's engineers and breachers to be offline, while the Grand Duke's guards were guarding the sidelines on their own and were very unwilling to communicate with them.

This put them at a great disadvantage, lacking information support. In an indoor environment, if the enemy gets close to Enlit with his sniper rifle, he will be powerless to fight back.

He not only set up a riot shield, but also used the Holographic Sight of the ' Sand Dust ' submachine gun to search left and right. The room was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which seriously interfered with Bodella's sense of smell.

Where are they—where are these assassins?! Suddenly! "Ugh!"

Enlit cried out in pain as a dark golden spike shot out from the smoke and slammed into Enlit chest. Her body lurched backward, and the nanobots on her body instantly shut down due to kinetic overload, falling to the ground with a clatter. Bodella's expression changed, and he immediately placed his shield on the ground, using his mechanical arm to drag Enlit along while simultaneously firing three bursts of fire at the smoke ahead with his submachine gun.

Da da da, da da da, da da da—

While firing to suppress the enemy, Bodella used his robotic arm to grab Enlit and drag her behind cover. He removed a nanotube from his body, inserted it into Enlit's deltoid muscle, and began to administer emergency treatment while simultaneously transmitting medication.

"Open rib fracture, it's okay, you don't have a pneumothorax! Keep your breath steady, I'll close the wound for you! Damn it, it's stuck in your wound."

Bodella had barely pulled out the dark gold spike when it immediately slithered out of his hand as if alive, returning to the smoke screen. He didn't have time to think about anything else; he disassembled his body armor and the plates, and the scene before him made Bodella break out in a cold sweat—damn it, Enlit had three layers of bulletproof plates, plus the super Kevlar and his own nanobots attached to her, how could she have fallen in a single blow?

As the painkiller gradually took effect, Enlit exhaled a breath of stale air, then took out an SMG (Submachine Gun). A dark blue aura swirled around the corner of her eyes, greatly enhancing her vision.

Under her gaze, a brightly lit entity was rapidly approaching her.

She picked up her SMG, aimed it at the approaching human figure in the distance, and unleashed a burst of bullets, each one like a splash of water.

Bang bang bang bang clang clang! The bullets hit the humanoid figure, only scattering bright sparks and making crisp knocking sounds. The gas vests on the bullets didn't even have time to explode before the humanoid figure flicked its arm and threw them away.

"Damn, they're here!"

While Enlit was cursing, he was inwardly Terror.

Pat pat pat!

Their footsteps drew ever closer, but they remained completely unaffected.

Even if the SMG uses 9mm pistol rounds, combined with the power of her Beta-rank Ranger, it shouldn't have such poor power. Even when hitting composite armor, it would leave a hole with every shot.

When it hits a person... a person has such a small surface area, how can the force be dispersed? It has no stopping effect at all.

What kind of armor was the other side wearing? Did they bring a Mobile Armor with them?!

Compared to Enlit's astonishment, Bodella was nearly going crazy.

What a joke... Enlit's wound was interfered with by some unknown force, and even with the infusion of life force and medicine, there was no sign of healing.

Moreover, the nail caused more than just a penetrating wound; the energy channels at the point of impact were erased as if by an eraser, unable to regenerate or generate energy, leaving only an ordinary muscle.

Stripped of all technical jargon, simply put, her extraordinary qualities have been undermined.

'That spike... has a destructive effect on superhumans!'

—Click.

As the magazine fell and Enlit loaded it with one hand, a tall, straight boot suddenly stepped out from the smoke. Bodella raised his head and, driven by his exoskeleton, threw a heavy punch at his opponent.

puff--

As the thick smoke broke through, the next moment, Enlit, who was reloading, noticed that Bodella, who was known for his [physical] physique, stood at 2.3 meters tall, with solid muscles and a body like a small giant, was thrown away as if he had been hit by a speeding train. His face turned red.

"Bodella!"

Enlit didn't have time to be surprised, because the attacker was faster than she was as a Ranger. A dark golden thorn claw nimbly tore through the smoke screen, lifted her up, and immediately threw her against the wall.

Boom! The solid reinforced concrete wall was instantly blasted through, and Enlit's spine broke on the spot. In the last moments of her life, in her blurred vision, she could only see a figure with swaying braids.

That's not... the silhouette of people from this era.

"Ugh— Enlit, are you alright? Enlit! Answer me!"

With his mouth Enlit mumbled into the walkie-talkie:

"Quickly... tell the chief..."

Before she could finish speaking, the back of her head slammed heavily to the ground, and her gaze froze completely.

Splash—

Amidst the rubble, Bodella, his eyes bloodshot, stood upright in fury, his massive, mountain-like body gleaming like a mountain.

"How dare you kill Enlit— "

The robotic arm activated, injecting a large amount of medicine into his body. He clenched his fists, picked up a bulletproof shield from the ground, and roared as he charged toward his opponent.

I'm going to kill you!

The dark gold gauntlets melted again, instantly elongating and radiating a sharp light, forming a simple and unadorned scythe.

Alexia calmly grasped the long handle, and with a swift motion, the dark gold scythe instantly hooked through Bodella.

Whoosh! The two figures passed each other. Bodella ran a few steps, and his lower body immediately separated from his upper body. He fell to the ground, and the smooth cut surface even showed the beating of his internal organs.

"I will never forgive you..."

Bodella's upper body lay on the ground. He reached out, struggling to get up, but could only roll over to face Alexia. His face was contorted, and he roared angrily:

"You destroyed everything we had, and you damaged our national interests. I will kill you! Even if I can't, Frostplate will not let you go!"

"It's not your country."

Alexia raises her scythe:

"It is the country of the Grantian."

Fuck you!

Bodella cursed resentfully:

"Sooner or later you will watch your cherished things perish! Your country will fall apart, your faith will be desecrated! Go to hell! Frostplate Empress! Long live the Twin Queens— "

bass--

The head flew off and rolled on the ground, staining the marble floor with dirty blood.

"To be honest,"

Alexia said slowly, "My country is indeed gone. It was destroyed a long time ago, by natural disasters and by human calamities."

"The enemies that were originally eliminated... the church, feudalism, superstition, inequality, kings, warlords, corporations—they have all returned."

"The beautiful world I cherish has become bizarre and strange. People can't even go to space, diesel engines are everywhere, and it's so cold outside that the heat island effect doesn't even occur."

"It's terrible, isn't it?"

Bodella's head rolled to Alexia's feet. The Alpha Rank Bermudes warrior was astonished to see Alexia so easily kill two Beta-rank.

Alexia could sense that the agent of Law Enforcement Division Three was not completely dead and could still perceive her words, so she continued, "But after 500 years, I have encountered this new and precious existence again."

"So, I understand now. This world is not perfect, there have been unsatisfactory aspects in the past, and the future may not necessarily be better, but people should not dwell on this."

She melted the scythe back, folded it back into the shape of a suitcase, and said with pity to the unseeing eyes of Bodella:

"I have traveled through time and space, bringing with me the expectations of an era. I am not here to enjoy the technological marvels of the future, but to stand up when justice and order have vanished, to punish all injustice, and to crush all oppression."

Alexia's tone was never arrogant, but to the dying Bodella, the personality shining in her dark golden eyes possessed a nobility that could never be matched.

Today we're switching to a 2*3k update format, still 6k words, but the action scenes will be more enjoyable to watch.

Alexia is quite popular; in just a few days, she's almost catching up to Nomi.

By the way, someone suggested I get a Qiu Ran character card... Well, I don't really think it's necessary, because Qiu Ran is just a minor character, not a supporting female character (although I kill supporting characters too). I have no feelings about killing female characters.

In my view, all women are independent women. I ask women to sacrifice in order to break the traditional patriarchal society's exclusive image of the 'protector'.

Capitalism has no gender; everyone is an alienated productive force.

In my opinion, Qiu Ran is an ordinary-looking, down-to-earth, kind-hearted working woman, nothing more.
