Defeating the Mechanical Overlord
"It's here."
Xiao Fan took out the Sands of Time and waved them in front of Shasha. He clearly felt Shasha's eyes brighten.
"Okay, then keep it safe. Let's go back now."
Back in Dr. Ai's lab, Shasha opened the package.
Ten fist-sized blue crystals glittered.
"This is the God Demon Stone."
Xiao Fan and the other nine received one each. Although Xiao Fan had no weapon, he still kept his own one.
"This thing might be able to be brought out of the secret realm, just like the Life Crystal."
Shasha put away the last one.
"How do I embed this into a weapon?"
Blade Shadow excitedly picked up the God Demon Stone. He had seen Shasha's blue Light Sword before; it was incredibly cool!
He couldn't even imagine how cool the blue blade would look with its red glow when he used his skills after it was inlaid!
He'll kill each robot with a single strike!
"The original God Demon Stone require a special inlaying technique. The God Demon Stone I stole have been engraved with patterns. Engrave the same patterns on your weapons, place the God Demon Stone on them, and they will automatically inlay."
Shasha explained.
"It has a pattern?"
Xiao Fan held the God Demon Stone up to the light and indeed saw a very small line pattern on it, which was not difficult to depict.
"It really has a pattern! Let me try it first!" Blade Shadow excitedly placed his large knife on the table, looked around, and finally snatched the dagger from Brave Ox Ox.
"Let me use it first!"
"That's my weapon!" Brave Ox Ox roared in a helpless rage.
The Blade Shadow reflected the patterns on the God Demon Stone as he carefully engraved them onto the hilt of his own sword.
After a moment, he placed the God Demon Stone on the pattern.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the God Demon Stone was slowly embedded into the hilt of the knife.
"How amazing!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The white broadsword of the Blade Shadow now seemed to transform into a longsword composed of blue light, looking both beautiful and domineering!
"Give me the dagger! I want to embed it first!"
"Give it to me! I'll go first!"
"Don't steal it!"
Brave Ox Ox was on the verge of tears: That was my weapon!
After everyone had socketed their weapons, they prepared to set off to fight the second boss.
The Mechanical Overlord I've seen before.
They need to get back to the ground.
Xiao Fan's only worry was whether Yuan Yi would send something even more powerful to eliminate them after killing the Mechanical Overlord.
They will then need to travel through the Underground City again to return to Dr. Ai Zone.
That's too dangerous!
After returning from the City of Gods and Demons, Xiao Fan realized that this secret realm was more difficult than he had imagined.
The City of Gods and Demons has level 50 creatures, so it's impossible for the opposing Underground City not to have them.
The patrolmen they encountered last time were probably just the lowest-ranking creatures.
There are even more terrifying things in the Underground City.
This increased the danger for them as they traversed the Underground City.
Even Xiao Fan couldn't guarantee whether his 30,000+ mana would be enough to fight a level 50 creature.
Before setting off, Xiao Fan reminded everyone again not to act impulsively.
"The Underground City is extremely dangerous. One wrong move and we could be stuck here forever. Everyone, please be careful! I'll let you know what to do in the team chat if anything happens."
Fortunately, Xiao Fan and the other players had a chat channel, so they could communicate without speaking.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I definitely won't make the same mistake as last time."
Blade Shadow solemnly guarantees this.
"I've sealed your mouth shut, don't worry, Master."
Let's go.
This time, Shasha didn't lead them through the city gate, but instead chose to climb in through the Underground City's pipes.
The pipes are intricate and there are no landmarks, so it's easy to get lost.
Xiao Fan and the other players could only carefully follow behind Shasha, not daring to fall behind.
With their Smart Soft Armor, they don't need to worry about being scanned by Yuan Yi.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fan saw a Shasha as a metal plate opened in front of him, and he jumped down.
Without needing to communicate, Xiao Fan and the others jumped down and discovered that the room below was the same one where they had first changed into their Smart Soft Armor.
The platform leading out is the railway track.
The rest of the route was simple, and the group easily returned to the ground.
Good luck to you.
Shasha clearly had no intention of helping and quickly went invisible.
Blade Shadow and his companions took their weapons out of the Weapon Album.
"Come out, robot!"
As he wished, Yuan Yi's voice came from above.
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Cleaner, please eliminate immediately!
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Cleaner, please eliminate immediately!
"How troublesome, I have to fight all the monsters again! But it's a good opportunity to test my God Demon Great Blade!"
A group of Cleaning Robot emerged from the ground.
A Blade Shadow, followed by a basic attack.
-500HP
The injury startled even him!
Logically speaking, a level one advantage shouldn't have allowed him to deal such high damage.
There's only one explanation.
"The God Demon Stone is effective against robots; weapons inlaid with the God Demon Stone receive a damage bonus!"
Other players also began to take action to Cleaning Robot.
"The divine and demonic weapons are indeed powerful!"
Tremble, you vile robot!
The frustration of not being able to deal damage before has completely vanished!
Robots only have a few skills, and everyone knows that.
In no time, the monsters were all cleared out.
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Cleaner failed to remove. Mechanical Overlord, please proceed with the removal!
"The Mechanical Overlord has finally arrived!"
After a violent earthquake, the old rival Mechanical Overlord, reappeared.
The Archer the first to probe the enemy.
-75HP
Divine and demonic weapons! Terrifying beyond belief!
Seeing that they could deal damage, everyone was finally relieved.
Under Xiao Fan's command, the team began an orderly attack.
The Mechanical Overlord has two skills.
The red rays were so dense that most players couldn't dodge them.
The second is that they will be shot in the chest.
This isn't a targeted skill, but dodging it requires very agile movement.
Fortunately, everyone here is a veteran player, so their movement skills aren't completely novice-level. Even if someone gets injured, Xiao Fan, being a great healer, can still keep them alive.
Xiao Fan discovered that his spell damage still had an effect on the Machine Overlord.
It wasn't noticeable in the early stages, but the Mechanical Overlord became noticeably more chaotic in the late game.
Boom
--
As the Mechanical Overlord's steel body collapsed, a ball of light floated above its corpse.
The Sands of Space-Time!
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Mechanical Overlord removal failed. Dominator, please proceed with the removal!
"I knew there was more!"
Xiao Fan cursed and quickly put away the Sands of Space-Time, shouting.
"Withdraw!"
Knock knock knock~
The ground beneath my feet was shaking; I knew without a doubt that it was the Dominator.
"Quick! Run!"
Xiao Fan activated his skill to accelerate and ran towards the hole in the ground.
As he burrowed underground, Xiao Fan glanced back.
A colossal object, over ten meters tall, came into view.
Name: The Dominator (BOSS)
Waiting for you: 30
HP:****
Creatures above level 10 cannot have their health bars displayed.
Xiao Fan dared not look any longer and quickly burrowed underground.
"Did you get it?" Shasha asked impatiently.
Xiao Fan nodded to her. "Mm."
"Let's go. Yuan Yi probably won't let us off easily this time. Everyone be careful."
No one dared to speak during the runway walk; they even held their breath while running.
They still chose to go through the pipes; it's safer there.
This is actually a secret passage for humans in Dr. Ai Zone. If it weren't for the Sands of Time, Shasha wouldn't have been able to take Xiao Fan and the others away.
This time, Yuan Yi was truly enraged. All the way, Xiao Fan could hear the sound of orderly footsteps coming from below, as if they were assembling.
Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth.
After exiting the Underground City through the pipes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back."
A glint of light flashed in Shasha's eyes, but Xiao Fan still noticed it.
"Is it coming? The soon-to-be-corrupted... Replica?"
