Just as Liu Zhi was about to give an order, he realized that his previous command might have been too vague. He had simply ordered all his subordinates except the Spider Cannons to attack the mechanical constructs.
As a result, the giant stone statue in front of the Temporal Vengeance had joined the battle too.
Normally, this wouldn't have caught Liu Zhi's attention. When fighting the mechanical constructs, the statue was basically just like a giant crushing enemies beneath its feet.
Besides, since Liu Zhi wasn't controlling how the statue fought, it sometimes fired something resembling a laser.
That laser would often pierce several mechanical constructs at once.
Then, one stray shot caught Liu Zhi's eye as it struck the defensive barrier.
The laser, concentrated on a single point, had pierced the barrier and hit the silver machine.
That discovery made Liu Zhi realize what he'd been doing wrong. He had thought that he only needed to pile on energy.
He hadn't realized that even an energy attack needed to be focused on a single point.
Liu Zhi quickly directed the Spider Cannons to attack one spot on the barrier.
This time, the Spider Cannons squeezed every last bit of strength out of themselves.
After spewing a wave of Plasma Liquid, every Spider Cannon collapsed. No matter how Liu Zhi ordered them to move, they wouldn't budge.
All Liu Zhi could do was watch as the hole in the barrier slowly closed, until it had almost returned to its original state.
Desperate, Liu Zhi searched for anything that might be useful.
At last, he thought of something: the Thunder Core, which had seemed practically useless.
It could produce all kinds of flashy effects, but it had never shown much power. And since he couldn't take it back to his own
