Shiva's Terrifying Presence on the Battlefield, and Yu Yuan's Long Wait

Shiva leaped twenty meters above the ground before his momentum ran out and he hung in the air for an instant.

Just as he began to fall, his mechanical arm shot out.

His five fingers dug deep into the wall, and his toes kicked footholds into it. He pushed off with his entire body and soared upward again, repeating the process.

Below, the Marauder Prison Raider leader watched Shiva reach the rooftop in just a few leaps. Only then did he seem to snap awake.

"Everyone, get in the vehicles! Follow Lord Shiva into battle!"

From the rooftop, Shiva could already see the two forces fighting in the distant street.

Boom, boom, boom—

The autocannons on the armed armored vehicles roared without pause, catching the Burning Fortress's Flame Riders off guard.

Behind them, the Black Shield Police Department's marauders poured on the fire.

Carmen stood at a fourth-floor window, watching the battle below.

"Marauder Prison should be on the move by now!"

Just then, a message from Alpha Wolf appeared.

[Alpha Wolf: Marauder Prison has deployed. Two o'clock. But someone is running across the rooftops toward you at high speed. It's probably that Mechanical Augmenter.]

[Alpha Wolf: Watch out. He's about to attack!]

Carmen immediately looked in the direction Alpha Wolf had indicated.

What he saw next was terrifying.

A man whose body was mostly covered in machinery leaped from a rooftop. While still airborne, he twisted at the waist.

He drew back his right fist, gathering strength for a punch. Energy surged through his body and converged around his fist in a dazzling glow.

Before everyone's disbelieving eyes, the man dropped from the sky above an armed armored vehicle that was still firing and threw his right fist down.

Boom—

A deafening explosion erupted from the vehicle.
