In the dense jungle, two flying robots moved slowly through the air, scanning the surrounding environment.
Smack, smack! Two pebbles instantly shot down the flying robots, and Wu Di's figure darted through the trees at incredible speed.
"Dr. Kusuno's location was indeed correct. The Machine God Organization's base should be nearby."
Wu Di cautiously observed the movements around him. He had searched this place for half a day, yet he had not found any sign of a base.
Instead, there were quite a few laser traps and warning robots around. Left with no choice, Wu Di decided to stir up the hornet's nest.
He would first destroy all the robots patrolling the perimeter. The Machine God Organization headquarters would surely send other robots out to investigate, and then he could follow the trail into the base.
"Ten Machine God Organization members. I wonder how strong they are."
Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz— A mechanical sound suddenly rose in the silent jungle. An iron gate slowly opened beneath the ground concealed by weeds, like the gaping maw of an abyss.
Not long after, two tall robots emerged onto the surface. Red lights flickered within their helmets as they headed toward where the flying robots had been shot down.
"Search for the intruder."
"These two are a little like G4."
Wu Di watched as the two robots split up to patrol in different directions, and a plan formed in his mind.
"Energy signature approaching. Prepare for combat!"
Boom! Before Wu Di could even approach, a missile directly reduced his hiding place to rubble.
"Thermal energy detection?"
Wu Di walked out of the smoke, then instantly charged toward the robot.
Boom, boom, boom! Several missiles shot toward him. Wu Di did not dodge at all; even when half his body was blasted into a bloody mess, he paid it no mind.
"Here it is!"
Wu Di's strike forcibly pierced through the robot's armor, and he ripped out a glowing core from its chest.
"Dr. Kusuno was right after all."
As the core was torn free, the robot, which had still been preparing to counterattack, instantly lost its source of power and stood there blankly.
"Intruder discovered. Kill without mercy!"
Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz— The whine of a chainsaw rang out. Caught off guard, Wu Di's left arm was nearly sawed off.
"That was fast!"
Wu Di dodged aside. He had not expected the other robot to arrive in support so quickly.
At that moment, the newly arrived robot transformed both hands into chainsaws and frantically swung them at Wu Di.
"These two robots are far inferior to G4."
Wu Di easily evaded its attacks, then seized an opening and punched straight through where its core was located.
"Ding—Machine God Organization members killed: 2."
"Is that all the mighty Machine God Organization has?"
Wu Di curled his lip and walked straight to the place where the two robots had emerged. He then threw a fierce punch at the ground.
Boom! The iron gate was blasted open with a hole, and Wu Di jumped inside without hesitation.
"The decor here is rather nice."
Wu Di looked at the brightly lit tunnel. It was built entirely from silver metal and had a strong technological feel.
"Intruder detected!"
Thud, thud, thud! Heavy footsteps came from the tunnel. Wu Di looked at the humanoid robot before him in surprise.
"Who is this guy?"
"Tank Top Hold!"
Before Wu Di could react, the humanoid robot pressed its arms together and violently rammed him away.
Crack! The sound of bones breaking rang out. Only then did Wu Di realize that the blow had shattered nearly half his breastbone.
"Tank Top Master's move? Who are you?"
Wu Di's gaze turned solemn. He had not expected the Machine God Organization's robots to be capable of copying an S-Class Hero's moves.
Recalling what G4 had said before, its goal had likely been to gather KING's combat methods and techniques in order to simulate combat robots.
"I am the G3 robot created by the organization. B-Class Rank 5, Masked Man Wu Di."
"As expected, these guys are collecting data from the Hero Association."
Wu Di was not surprised in the slightest that G3 had spoken his name. Since they could even copy heroes' skills, they surely knew the association's hero data inside out.
"The fact that you made it here proves you possess some strength. Let me collect your data."
G3's mechanical voice rang out, and the corners of Wu Di's mouth rose slightly.
"Sure, if you can collect it!"
Wu Di could not help finding it amusing. He relied on accumulated momentum and an immortal body. How could these robots imitate that?
"Tank Top Barrage!"
Boom, boom, boom! The two sides launched a frenzied exchange in the tunnel. Wu Di feared nothing. With his current strength, so long as he was prepared, even the real Tank Top Master might not be his match.
"What makes heroes powerful is far more than just moves and techniques."
Smack! Wu Di easily caught G3's punch and forcibly tore off one of its mechanical arms.
"Die!"
Wu Di pinned G3's armored body beneath his foot and smashed its core with one punch.
"Ding—Machine God Organization members killed: 3."
"I wonder what kind of robots the rest are."
Wu Di stared at G3's wreckage in thought. In truth, he had only been able to defeat it head-on because of his immortal body.
If it had been another hero facing a robot with a body of steel that felt no pain, it truly would have been exceptionally difficult to deal with.
After passing through the long, narrow tunnel, Wu Di arrived at the center of a broad plaza. Several figures seemed to have been waiting for him there all along.
"G2?"
Wu Di looked at the markings on the armor of the five humanoid robots before him. He had not expected there to be five G2 robots.
"What is that?"
On the platform at the center of the plaza, a massive steel robot stared coldly at Wu Di. The character "Prime" was printed on its body.
"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Metal Knight?"
Wu Di loudly voiced the question in his heart, but unfortunately, the Prime Unit did not seem to care to answer.
"Wait until you survive, then ask those questions."
"Fine!"
Wu Di's figure instantly charged at the five G2 robots. To his surprise, they suddenly assumed identical stances, and their next move shocked him.
"Water Stream Cracking Fist!!!"
Bang, bang, bang! The unexpected attacks bombarded Wu Di wildly. Two fists could not withstand four hands, and he was instantly driven back step by step.
"The martial art of Silver Fang Bang, S-Class Rank 3!"
Wu Di defended with difficulty, but he was still struck again and again. As Bang's signature martial art, Water Stream Cracking Fist was naturally extraordinary.
"Capture the ringleader first!"
A cold glint flashed through Wu Di's eyes. He endured dozens of punches head-on and lunged straight toward the Prime Unit on the high platform.
"Foolish."
The Prime Unit's voice rang out, and a red laser directly pierced through Wu Di's chest.
Pfft! Wu Di was sent flying on the spot, blood pouring all over his body.
"This guy's attack is actually this strong? System, activate the experience card!!!"
