My Chat Group Is Really Too Strange

Under Anis's curious gaze, Mo Wang directly tossed a pile of C4 and a bunch of drones over to her.

"Um... what are these?" Anis asked Mo Wang with a strange look on her face.

"Simple. Drones plus explosives. Even the Russians say they work great!"

Mo Wang gave Anis a big thumbs-up.

"This counts as new equipment? Isn't this way too crude?" Anis looked at Mo Wang strangely. Wasn't he supposed to pull out some kind of high-tech weapon?

"Quit fooling around. At a time like this, these are much more useful than missiles. A few dozen drones are enough to blow these Raptures to bits."

Mo Wang complained that Anis simply didn't recognize quality when she saw it.

The Russians had tested these things long ago. Their cost-effectiveness was far higher than missiles.

They were cheap, fast, and had a wide range! They didn't even need precise targeting.

Whether in reality or in games, the facts had proven that drones were incredibly useful.

"Commander! Something's happening! The target we locked onto has started moving!"

Just then, Laphi suddenly shouted at Mo Wang.

"Hm? It's moving?"

"Yes, it seems... to be charging toward us!"

At that moment, a massive Rapture, even several sizes larger than the large Raptures, appeared before them.

"So the Tyrant-class Rapture has appeared after all."

Looking at that familiar figure, Mo Wang unconsciously licked his lips.

Heavenly Thunder, Prepare for Sortie!

"It's the Tyrant-class Rapture codenamed Blacksmith! Damn it, why is it here?!"

The moment Laphi saw the suddenly appearing Rapture, she immediately recognized it.

"Attack immediately! We can't let that thing get over here!"

Mo Wang immediately gave the order. Laphi and the others promptly launched an attack on Blacksmith.

But unlike when they had eliminated the previous Raptures, their bullets had little effect when they struck this Tyrant-class Rapture.

Its defenses were on an entirely different level from the Raptures before.

"Tch, it really lives up to being Tyrant-class. It's damn tough."

Mo Wang clicked his tongue as he looked at the Tyrant-class Rapture, which was practically unscathed.

At a time like this, even the weakest Tyrant-class enemy from the game was more than the current squad could handle.

Much like Honkai Beasts, Raptures were divided into several ranks.

If the status of a Lord-class Rapture was equivalent to that of a lower Emperor among Honkai Beasts, then Tyrant-class Raptures had undoubtedly reached the level of Emperors, or even Judges.

Both were powerful beings that ordinary characters simply could not fight.

Normally, it took more than a dozen squads working together and paying a terrible price just to stand a chance against one.

"It's Blacksmith. They say its body is made by fusing together captured NIKKEs! It's one of the most terrifying Raptures!"

Laphi unconsciously tightened her grip on her weapon. This was also her first time facing a Tyrant-class Rapture at such close range.

The pressure it gave off was truly something no other Rapture could match.

"Damn it! How much more trouble can this get? A swarm of Raptures wasn't enough, and now a Tyrant-class one has popped up too!" Anis complained as well.

But her hands did not hesitate in the slightest.

Yet just then, Mo Wang suddenly flashed to Anis's side.

Before Anis could react, Mo Wang had already grabbed her and yanked her away from where she had been standing.

"You..."

Bang!

The instant Anis left her original position, before she could cry out, the bullet hole that appeared the next moment immediately shut her up.

At the same time, Laphi instantly shifted her muzzle toward the direction the bullet had come from.

"Marian?! What's going on?" Anis looked at Marian in the distance with shock.

Marian stared blankly at them, like a puppet being controlled.

At the same time, her eyes glowed red.

"Oh no! It's an Erosion reaction! Marian has been Eroded!"

Laphi immediately noticed the abnormality, and it seemed as though something had been stirred within her expression.

"I'm he-he-he-he-he-he... he-he-he-he-he..." Marian repeated the eerie sound endlessly like a machine.

The situation before them seemed to be calling out to the distant Tyrant-class Rapture.

"Damn it, so it really turned out like this? I was already so careful, yet the original plot is still happening? Is this the interference of that damned world consciousness?"

Seeing the Eroded Marian, Mo Wang's face immediately darkened.

When he had first encountered Marian, he had already run a series of examinations on her.

And during the battles afterward, he had made sure Marian was never injured.

Mo Wang had originally believed Marian was infected because she had been severely wounded after being attacked by a large number of Raptures during later battles.

But now it seemed that Marian had probably already been infected with Erosion before she ever met Mo Wang.

She had simply hidden it all along until it erupted now.

"Commander, Marian has been Eroded. What should we..."

"Don't panic, Anis. I already prepared for this. As long as..."

Just as Mo Wang was about to pull something from his clothes, two tentacles suddenly pierced straight through Marian's body.

It turned out that after no NIKKEs were left to stop it, Blacksmith had taken the opportunity to reach them.

Then, with a rapid contraction of its tentacles, Blacksmith pulled Marian's body directly into its own.

"Marian was devoured by Blacksmith! Commander..."

But at that very moment, something beyond Anis and Laphi's expectations suddenly happened.

Mo Wang appeared before Blacksmith in an instant, as though he had teleported.

Anger and resolve flashed in his eyes. Tense power radiated from his body, like an erupting volcano.

"You bastard! Give Marian back!" Mo Wang roared, his voice carrying unquestionable authority.

Without hesitation, he exerted force with both hands and grabbed Blacksmith's body. At that moment, even the air around them seemed to freeze.

Blacksmith's tough body was utterly incapable of standing against Mo Wang's terrifying strength. With ease, Mo Wang tore open its body and found Marian inside.

Boom!

The instant he found Marian, Mo Wang pulled her out without hesitation, then punched Blacksmith flying.

Countless metal fragments scattered all the way dozens of meters away.

"Commander?!"

Anis and Laphi felt as though their minds had broken when they saw that scene.

What had they just seen? Their Commander had nearly torn apart a Tyrant-class Rapture with his bare hands, and even sent it flying with a single punch?

Was this the fucking Commander? Was this a human? This was more like a fucking banana-shaped hammer!

But Mo Wang had no time to care about their reactions.

After confirming that Marian was unharmed, Mo Wang immediately handed her over to Laphi and Anis.

"I'll leave Marian to you for now. Don't kill her yet. She might still be saved when I get back. I'm going to settle the score with that bastard. It dared to snatch something right in front of me? It's got some nerve!"

Then Mo Wang walked toward Blacksmith without hesitation.

After suffering severe damage, Blacksmith kept using its tentacles to absorb the parts of nearby Raptures and repair itself.

But now, Mo Wang walked toward it step by step like a true Demon King.

As Mo Wang advanced, even the dark clouds in the sky began gathering overhead, as though something had descended.

"I wasn't planning to use this. But you never should have laid a hand on my woman."

As Mo Wang spoke, lightning began crashing down around them, as though a thunder god was about to descend.

"Transdimensional Xyz Network!

Bring absolute judgment upon the defiant!

This body is the embodiment of Finality, this lightning the prelude to divine punishment—

The Arrival Cybernetic Zeus!

Pierce the far end of dimensions with thunder!"

With Mo Wang's summons, the dark clouds in the sky exploded with a thunderous roar.

Then, a gigantic mech like a deity descended with a crash like lightning.

In that instant, the entire world seemed to stop.

Heavenly Thunder: Please Settle the Electricity Bill

"What the hell was that?"

The Commanders and NIKKEs on the front lines stared into the distance in bewilderment.

A gigantic robot, like a god, slowly descended to the ground amid flashing lightning.

At that moment, the frontline Commanders' group chat had already exploded.

Rookie Commander No. 001: What the hell is going on? I just finished eating, so why did a giant robot suddenly pop out?

I Want to Eat Hot Dogs: Holy shit! Since when did the Ark secretly make something this awesome?

Frontline Reporter Who Isn't Afraid of Death: How do you know it's an Ark product? Maybe aliens invaded? (laugh.jpg)

Keyboard King: I know! A superhero has entered the battlefield!

Beast Senpai: I knew it! The Ark must have secretly developed a bunch of high-tech gear! The time has come for us to save the world! But why wasn't I chosen to be a mech pilot?

Tequila Girl: Stop talking! That giant robot is fighting a Tyrant-class Rapture right now. Keep chatting, I won't interrupt. I'm outta here. You can't catch me!

Keyboard King: Fuck, let's go! Ignore it! Run, retreat, bail, slip away!

On the battlefield ahead, Blacksmith sensed a deadly threat. Its instinctive desire to survive drove it to quickly use the ability of a Tyrant-class Rapture. At its call, massive numbers of Raptures launched a fierce attack on Heavenly Thunder.

Energy beams tore through the night sky like lightning, firing at Heavenly Thunder one after another. At the same time, bullets shrieked through the air, pouring in wave after wave. Yet Heavenly Thunder, standing on the ground, remained completely motionless, towering like an immovable mountain.

The instant the Raptures' attacks touched Heavenly Thunder's armor, they were blocked by a mysterious force. Energy beams threw off dazzling sparks across the armor's surface, but every single one was stopped. Heavenly Thunder's shell appeared indestructible, as though its very existence was a defensive fortress that no storm could shake.

"Hmph! Hahahaha! See that? This is the power strong enough to change the world!"

"The god-slaying weapon, The Arrival Cybernetic Zeus! Mere Raptures, do you dare defy me, who possesses this power?!"

Facing the Raptures' overwhelming assault, Mo Wang merely controlled Heavenly Thunder to raise one hand.

The next moment, lightning under Heavenly Thunder's control transformed into a dazzling beam and struck the swarm of Raptures ahead. In almost an instant, every Rapture was swallowed by that power. Their bodies twisted and warped in the blinding light before turning to ash and scattering into the air.

Thousands upon thousands of Raptures had no power to resist this unbelievable force. Like fragile sheets of paper, they were effortlessly torn apart. The black masses that had surged across the ground moments ago became ashes like a nightmare dissipating in the wind.

Heavenly Thunder stood on the battlefield like a cold and merciless god, ruthlessly passing judgment upon its enemies. Every beam it unleashed was like heavenly punishment, chastising countless invaders. There was not a trace of mercy, only merciless destruction.

Even the land ahead began to turn to dust beneath the pitiless lightning, continuously breaking apart and reforming.

The NIKKEs who clearly witnessed the scene no longer knew how to describe what stood before them.

"What an incredible feeling. I'm finally starting to understand why those people are so obsessed with piloting giant robots."

Sitting inside Heavenly Thunder, Mo Wang looked at the burning earth before him with a thoroughly satisfied expression.
