A Wretched Life, and Now Completely Unhinged
"Now... comes the moment to witness a miracle."
Alvin stared intently at the arc of the Necrotech Scarab's flight, until it landed precisely above the unfinished "Daemon Engine."
Clang!
A crisp impact drew the attention of the Chaos Servitor, who moved their nauseating, fleshy mechanical bodies like tiny ants, climbing onto the Daemon Engine to investigate the source of the sound.
Are you sure... that thing will really work?
Despite Alvin's performance suggesting the thing was quite powerful, Winnie simply couldn't believe that a palm-sized metal disc could possibly destroy the indestructible "Daemon Engine."
When did I say I was sure it would work?
Alvin's attention was entirely focused on the Necrotech Scarab, and he didn't bother with the Inquisitor beside him. Getting annoyed by the questions, he said, "If all else fails, I have a second plan!"
Although Plan B will cause even more disruption!
That means going to the Marvel Universe, bringing a few atomic bombs directly from S.H.I.E.L.D.. He just doesn't believe that the Daemon Engine, blessed by Blood God, can withstand it, and the Forge Factory can too.
When you're backed into a corner, what do you care about the methods?
Alvin didn't care about the size of the problem anymore; even if he couldn't destroy the Daemon Engine, he would make sure the cult suffered the consequences!
In short, it boils down to one sentence!
He won't let anyone who makes his life difficult get any better!
While pondering, the Chaos Servitor found the Necrotech Scarab that had fallen onto the hatch of the "Daemon Engine." It picked it up, seemingly wondering what it was.
"Hey, are you sure you can handle this?"
Seeing that the thing was useless, Winnie became a little impatient.
"Look, you're in such a hurry again."
Alvin shook his head, signaling her to calm down. "Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while."
"?"
If it weren't for Aruman's background, Winnie would have drawn her gun long ago. She rolled her eyes at Alvin and continued to keep an eye on the situation.
As the Chaos Servitor was inspecting the flat, dark green metal disc, it saw the core of the metal device crack, revealing an exquisite Metal Scarab.
The Metal Scarab seemed to have just awakened, shaking its two dark green Ironwing. The emerald green core on its forehead lit up, emitting a somewhat piercing buzzing sound.
Buzz buzz buzz--!
The Chaos Servitor was clearly unaware of the terrifying nature of the Metal Scarab and continued to attempt to capture it directly with its palm.
But, at the very moment of contact!
The dark green Metal Scarab suddenly emitted a completely incomprehensible sound, and then directly burrowed into the body of the Chaos Servitor!
Following the flesh and mechanical structure of the arm, at an almost terrifying speed, in less than a second, it completely disintegrated the Chaos Servitor, leaving not even a trace!
After disintegrating the Chaos Servitor, the Necrotech Scarab uses the bioenergy it has seized for its self-replication program.
The single Necrotech Scarab multiplied into dozens!
And this is just the beginning!
After multiplying, the Necrotech Scarab set their sights on the Forge Factory, specifically on the numerous forging machines, the Chaos Servitor, and the unfinished "Daemon Engine."
Buzz buzz buzz!
Like a death Stormfront, the Canoptek Scarabs devour and decompose energy at an astonishing speed, reproduce themselves, and repeat the process endlessly.
The Chaos Servitor was utterly powerless to resist!
Even the defense systems of a cult are like primitive beings compared to the creations of the Necron!
This was a one-sided massacre!
"What... what is this?!"
Winnie, who was watching this scene, was almost startled and cried out.
"I'll explain when we get out of here. We need to run now." Looking down at the Necrotech Scarab, which had multiplied to an astonishing number in less than half a minute, forming a vast, swarming mass, Alvin was terrified.
Before Winnie could speak, he carried her on his back and flew out of the Forge Factory.
"That thing is catching up!!!"
Suddenly, Winnie screamed in terror.
A piercing buzzing sound came from behind, almost like a tidal wave.
However, despite the perilous situation, Alvin remained unusually calm. "Hold on tight, I'm going to accelerate!"
Upon hearing this, Winnie clung tightly to the armor like an octopus, pressing herself against Alvin.
Boom!!!
All of the armor's energy is being channeled to the flight system!
Intense energy, like flames, formed interlocking Mach rings that erupted from the armored feet and hands!
The speed was instantly elevated to a whole new level!
The deafening sonic boom echoed throughout the factory like a thunderclap, with surging shockwaves spreading out in layers!
"No, I can't shake them off!"
Winnie managed to open her eyes amidst the powerful Stormfront of wind and saw that the terrifying Metal Scarab were still following behind them!
Alvin's heart was as calm as a still lake, without a ripple.
It's a creation of the Necron, after all. How could it possibly be easily shaken off at three times the speed of sound of the Mark V?
"Release the heat decoys!"
High-temperature decoy missiles, like meteors, shot out from both sides of the Mark V, illuminating the Forge Factory like dazzling fireworks!
However, this would be tantamount to completely exposing them!
"Ahhh--"
Suddenly, a furious roar came from above the Forge Factory, filled with chilling resentment and malice.
Who is it?!
"Who is it?!"
"Damn it, how dare they ruin my plans!"
The angry roar could be heard throughout the entire factory.
The enlarged image shows a young man dressed in the Boys standing on the top floor of the Forge Factory, glaring at them.
Alvin knew that person.
Rashid Hadley, cult leader.
The mastermind behind all of this!
Stop him!
"Kill him!!!"
Rashid quickly spotted the Forge Factory. The commotion was so great that it was hard to ignore them!
Several laser devices were aimed directly at Alvin.
"Warning! Lock-on attack detected!"
"Cannot be blocked! Cannot be blocked!"
"The strike is expected to arrive in three seconds!"
Boom!!!
The defensive structures surrounding the Forge Factory unleashed a torrential downpour of crimson beams of light, the dense lasers instantly blocking all escape routes.
"We've been discovered. What are you going to do now?"
Looking at the Metal Scarab still relentlessly pursuing her, and the dense rain of lasers on its back, Winnie's icy face revealed a bitter expression.
This time, it seems there really is nowhere to escape!
Want to make a bet?
At that moment, Alvin suddenly spoke up.
What are we betting on?
Winnie was somewhat taken aback, thinking this guy must have gone mad!
What time is it? Why are you still gambling?
"Let's bet..."
Alvin looked up at the dense, rain-like laser beams, a slight smile playing on his lips, "We'll definitely escape alive, won't we?"
"You..."
Winnie was stunned.
She had never met anyone like Alvin.
He could actually laugh even at a life-or-death situation!
I will not die.
Alvin spoke as if to himself, his eyes gleaming with a chilling madness. "So, how about we take a gamble? A gamble that we won't die. The stake is... if you lose, you come on a date with me, Your Inquisitor!"
"Good!"
