Accelerator

The Ball Thrower's ability was formidable, and theoretically, it could counter Xiao He's high-intensity physique, but that was only in theory.

Xiao He possessed too many Superpower; his enemies had no idea what they were, so how could they possibly counter him?

Among his many abilities, there is one Superpower that can counter Ball Thrower: Vector Control.

He can manipulate any vector, regardless of whether that vector will increase indefinitely.

This Superpower is indeed difficult to use. The amount of information flooding into his mind was so great that Xiao He could only perform some of the most basic vector operations, such as changing direction or modifying gravity parameters.

But as luck would have it, he had recently acquired the "Mechanical Modification" Superpower from "Ripper Rick." The mechanical brain allowed him to process information from all aspects more quickly, enabling him to perform more complex controls using "Vector Control," such as modifying the vector's direction and size simultaneously.

At this moment, everything in Xiao He's eyes was labeled with data.

With "Mechanical Modification" and "Vector Control," he becomes Accelerator.

The only drawback in this state is that his physical strength is greatly reduced, which lowers his margin for error. If he doesn't notice an enemy's attack and gets hit, his mechanical body may be damaged. However, his teammates can make up for this.

Xiao He raised his hand to An Xiuru, who was standing there with her head in her hands. His arm extended mechanically and pulled An Xiuru back to his side. Then Xiao He used Purification on her, dispelling the fear effect on An Xiuru. Han Tianyu quickly gave her boosts in "Strength", "Speed", and "Defense".

"Mr. Yinglong, what should we do?" Han Tianyu asked anxiously, "Their abilities are too well-matched..."

"Stand behind me and boost my defense. You don't need to worry about anything else," Xiao He replied calmly.

"Honestly, such a reliable man, why isn't he my fiancé?" An Xiuru teased, placing a hand on Xiao He's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll make you hard, I guarantee you'll be invincible!"

"Can't you be a little more considerate! His fiancée is listening from the sidelines!" Han Tianyu said irritably.

Xiao He then realized something: An Xiuru's abilities were a perfect match for his current state.

Human muscles cannot be completely Hardening to the level of metal, otherwise they would be unable to deform and thus unable to move. The same applies to internal organs. If the heart Hardening to the point of being unable to beat, the person will die immediately.

However, Xiao He is now a "Mechanical Modification" cyborg. His body is not made of flesh and blood, but of gears and mechanical parts, so it can function normally even if it is very tough and can withstand any attack.

However, the three members of the M Country Team were no pushovers either; they quickly adjusted and prepared to continue the fight.

"Upright, The Hermit." The Taro continued drawing cards, "Hidden facts, individual actions, enjoying solitude, avoiding danger."

After some thought, the Taro card was reserved for the Ball Thrower. The Hermit Tarot Card appeared behind the Ball Thrower, and then his figure disappeared, presumably becoming invisible.

Xiao He discovered that the Taro cards seemed to be completely random, because she always just drew one Taro from the top of the stack. However, although the effects of the Taro were random, they would always affect the enemy once activated, which was quite troublesome.

However, now that the Ball Thrower has disappeared and Taro is bound to the Blastproof Man, any damage received will be transferred to the Blastproof Man. This means that it seems there is only one target left to attack: the Blastproof Man, who has Absolute Defense and high physique.

"So what if I have Absolute Defense? What's wrong with attacking you?" Xiao He sneered, then raised his hand, and a stone flew into his hand. Xiao He then gently flicked the stone toward the Blastproof Man.

The small pebble landed on the Blastproof Man's shield and was naturally deflected. However, what happened next surprised everyone present: a crack appeared on the Blastproof Man's shield, and then the crack rapidly spread...

"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out, and the Blastproof Man's shield shattered, scattering fragments all over the ground!

Everyone was stunned: the shield, which hadn't even budged when "Yinglong" unleashed a full-force punch, shattered with a single hit from a small pebble!?

"This... how could this be!? No, it's impossible!" Blastproof Man roared, looking at the fragments of light scattered on the ground.

"What's impossible?" Xiao He sneered, stomping his foot on the ground. The ground cracked rapidly, and spikes shot out from under the Blastproof Man's feet, propelling him into the air. But then the Blastproof Man plummeted from the air as if crushed by an invisible mountain, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Boom--!" The violent shaking made people suspect it was an 8.0 magnitude Earthquake, and smoke and dust spread rapidly.

Xiao He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Oh? You've got some skills... After all, you're Mutant from M Country."

The Blastproof Man stood up from the ground, with a light shield beneath him absorbing the impact.

"Hmph..." The Blastproof Man raised his shield and stood in front of Xiao He, his face full of defiance and tenacity, as if to say: Go ahead and break my shield again!

"Heh, you don't believe me? Then I'll demonstrate it for you again." Xiao He chuckled, then plucked a hair from An Xiuru's head.

An Xiuru screamed and punched him playfully, "I'm going to tell White Marsh!"

"I need you to help me shatter his shield," Xiao He said with a smile. "The 'shield' in his heart."

"Screech..." Blastproof Man roared through gritted teeth, "You fucking think you can shatter my shield with that hair?!"

"Exactly!" Xiao He nodded, then blew on the hair in his hand. The hair instantly flew forward, fluttering like a falling leaf, and quickly disappeared from sight. But the next moment, cracks appeared on the Blastproof Man's shield.

"No--!" the Blastproof Man roared in despair, "No way! My Absolute Defense! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

But no matter how unwilling he was, the shield still shattered, scattering fragments all over the ground.

"Shattered it, wasn't it? Whether it's the outer shield or the inner shield," Xiao He said with a slight smile.

Actually, breaking the shield is quite simple. This thing is the same concept as the Perfect Cube. Its principle is to disperse the impact and then cancel each other out internally. Its key lies in its unique cubic structure.

However, in the face of Xiao He, who has Vector Control, he can prevent the force from being dispersed and canceled out by the special structure inside the Perfect Cube. Instead, he can disrupt the transmission of that force, allowing it to rampage inside the cube. In this way, the seemingly "indestructible" Perfect Cube will be disintegrated from the inside.

Even with the force of a single hair, Xiao He can control vectors, changing their size and direction. So it doesn't really matter whether it's hair or not; Xiao He just needs a "force" to come into contact with the Blastproof Man's shield.

The amount of computation involved is terrifying. Each additional factor is equivalent to adding another variable to the equation, and the more factors there are, the greater the computational burden. A normal person would absolutely not be able to calculate it, but Xiao He's brain is like a computer at this moment. Calculating this data is... well, not a piece of cake, but it's still within his capabilities.

However, the real game-changer was the vanished Ball Thrower. Xiao He stood still, silently waiting for the moment when the opponent would launch their final attack.

"Ah, here it comes..." At this moment, Taro suddenly smiled coldly, "Upright, Death." Taro raised the cards in his hand and smiled, "Failure, near destruction, ongoing damage..."

After a pause, the shadow of Death suddenly appeared in the air. Xiao He knew that must be the location of the Ball Thrower. An upright Taro strengthens teammates, so what exactly is the strengthening effect of this "Grim Reaper"?

The Ball Thrower suddenly appeared behind them, scattering a handful of steel balls into the air, then forcefully threw a second handful of steel balls at them, followed by two rubber balls.

"The technique for using this Superpower is truly ingenious..." Xie Haining said, resting his chin on his hand. "It relies on different throwing techniques to create a series of attacks with different angles and timings. The most troublesome thing about this kind of attack is that the 'rhythm' is very chaotic, making it difficult to defend against with experience and calculation. It relies more on reaction and instinct."

Indeed, as Xie Haining said, the Ball Thrower's attacks are very troublesome. Although the Ball Thrower's attack intervals vary greatly, his Superpower allows these attacks to form a continuous attack.

The small steel balls, initially scattered into the air, form a parabola due to their slow initial speed. However, as they begin to fall, their speed increases, eventually accelerating to an extremely high velocity before falling towards them.

The second batch of small steel balls, because of their faster initial speed, arrived earlier than the first batch, meaning the steel balls were only scattered into the air by the second batch.

However, the first two waves of attacks were merely a cover; the real, final blow came from those two rubber balls.

After the two rubber balls collided with the wall, they actually bumped into each other again, and then bounced off the wall once more. The three bounces caused the two rubber balls to form a "W"-shaped flight trajectory, flying towards Xiao He and his companions at supersonic speed.

These three rounds of attacks formed a clever firepower network. Two rounds of small steel balls launched a dense barrage from above and in front, forcing the enemy to defend. After suppressing the enemy with firepower, the rubber ball then decided the outcome.

With a series of "crackling" sounds, the small steel balls were bounced off and landed on the ground around them, while Xiao He caught the two rubber balls steadily in his hands.

However, even though Xiao He caught the two rubber balls, two black flames still ignited in his hands.

"Continuous damage... is that an additional effect of that Death Tarot Card?" Xiao He frowned and thought to himself, staring at the Taro. "I need to seal off that woman first."

At that moment, a line of text suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Warning, processor temperature too high! Warning, processor temperature too high!"

Xiao He was astonished: Really?! I only used it for two minutes! Is the calculation really that extensive?!

Han Tianyu quickly wrote the word "cold" on Xiao He, and Xiao He stopped when he warned that the temperature was too high.

"It seems we can't drag this out any longer; we need to end this battle as soon as possible..." Xiao He thought to himself.

However, after the attack ended, the Ball Thrower's body disappeared again, clearly indicating that the previous Taro allowed him to remain invisible when not attacking.

"Hey, idiot, keep going! The game isn't over yet!" Taro shouted to the Blastproof Man beside him.

The Blastproof Man paused, then said, "But my Absolute Defense is already..."

"Hurry up, you useless thing!" Taro said irritably, then drew another Taro.

But when Xiao He reached out and pointed at the Taro, before she could even see what the card was, Taro sank as if it were made of lead, even pressing down on her and causing her to fall to the ground.

Xiao He altered the gravity parameters of the Taro in her hand, so that as long as she was restricted from drawing cards, she couldn't activate her abilities.

"What... what is this?!" Taro exclaimed in astonishment, then went to draw a second card, but the stack of Taro in her hand slipped from her grasp like a mountain, crashing to the ground with a "thud" and sinking deep into the earth.

"What's going on?! Damn it, my cards!" Taro angrily tried to pick up the cards from the ground, but couldn't. "My Physical Strength is LV3, how come I can't even pick up a single card!"

"Alright, two are done for..." Xiao He thought to himself, but the key point was still the "Ball Thrower".

The Ball Thrower is the "core" of these three; if they don't take him out, the opponent has a chance to turn the game around.

"Squeeze out the other data and find him!" Xiao He thought to himself. The Ball Thrower was invisible and had no presence, but any movement by the opponent would generate a "vector." Although there were many vector data on the field, one of them was emitted by the Ball Thrower.

However, normal data is difficult to find because there is too much normal vector data in the field.

He could detect the abnormal vector the instant the opponent threw their projectile.

"It's here!" A red halo appeared in Xiao He's eyes, locking onto the location of the abnormal vector.

"Right here!" Xiao He raised his hand, and the Ball Thrower just threw the first rubber ball in his hand.

"What a beautiful move..." Xiao He couldn't help but think to himself as he watched the opponent's throwing posture. The rubber ball changed its direction in mid-air, drawing an arc, and bounced off the wall three times at a very small angle, flying towards Xiao He with a whooshing sound.

However, Xiao He simply extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner and snapped his fingers lightly.

The rubber ball came to a stop, floating on Xiao He's index finger, yet trembling slightly, like a golden thief that had been caught. In reality, its kinetic energy hadn't disappeared; it had simply been controlled by Xiao He.

Then Xiao He pushed his index finger out, and the rubber ball flashed, drawing a "Z" shape in black, instantly passing by the Ball Thrower, the Blastproof Man, and the Taro.

The three of them screamed almost simultaneously, fell backward to the ground, and lost consciousness.

The rubber ball bounced back twice, "Thump, thump!" and obediently returned to Xiao He's hand.

Xiao He, on the other hand, remained elegant and composed, like a magician who had just finished his performance.

Everything was under his control.

Xiao He gently tossed the rubber ball into Han Tianyu's hands behind him, and laughed, "Done."

"Wow! This is truly... a match I completely can't understand!" the host exclaimed on stage. "I'm totally clueless about what happened, but one thing I do know is that Yinglong defeated the undefeated trio of the M Country Team! If I had to describe it, it would be in four words: effortless and skillful!"
