" Sicco Thermaplugg! What are you talking about? When did I release a radioactive bomb?" Mekkatorque was clearly taken aback and puzzled by Sicco Thermaplugg's appearance. "Where are the mechanics? Didn't you bring them?"
" Mekkatorque, I warned you! Radioactive bombs can kill not only Rockjaw Trogg, but also Gnomes! And you actually released it! Do you want to destroy Gnomeregan?" Sicco Thermaplugg's voice rang out once again.
Jiang Jie's expression changed.
Sicco Thermaplugg's voice was amplified, and countless Gnomes could hear it, while Mekkatorque's voice was not loud, at most audible to those in the Hall of Gears.
Sicco Thermaplugg wants to wipe everyone out here with a radioactive bomb. That way, there will be no one to testify, and the other Gnomes will think that Mekkatorque released the radioactive bomb, and that Sicco Thermaplugg is the hero who discovered Mekkatorque's plot. Then Sicco Thermaplugg will be hailed as the High Tinker. That despicable guy!
"Therma..." Mekkatorque was about to say something when he was met with Sicco Thermaplugg's sinister grin.
He appeared insane as he pressed a button.
The next moment, the door to that passage slammed shut, and all the doors to the passages followed suit, sealing off the entire Hall of Gears!
Clearly, Sicco Thermaplugg could control the sealing doors of these passages, but he hadn't done so. The Rockjaw Trogg were able to take over the Hall of Gears likely involved his covert assistance.
Immediately afterwards, Sicco Thermaplugg pressed the second button.
Beneath the robot, the hatch opened, revealing a launcher, and then, in the next moment, it fired!
A bomb the size of a human head was launched at the largest gear in the very center of the Hall of Gears!
The launch speed was so fast that, at this very moment, everyone below the Hall of Gears was out of reach.
Even if you were standing on top of it, it would be too late to stop it.
Once the bomb explodes, the radioactive material will instantly kill everyone here. The Gnomes, being so close, will all perish. The only one who will likely survive Sicco Thermaplugg, who is hiding inside the robot and probably has protective measures in place.
At this moment, Jiang Jie had to admire Sicco Thermaplugg's scheming and decisiveness.
The entire Hall of Gears was sealed off. Even if there was a leak of radioactive material, it wouldn't be enough to kill all the Gnomes. He would then say that he sealed off the Hall of Gears at the crucial moment, preventing the disaster and becoming the Gnomes ' savior!
"No!" Mekkatorque cried.
Others may not know the power of a bomb, but he does.
Others may not understand Sicco Thermaplugg, but he does.
Since Sicco Thermaplugg has made up his mind, then this bomb must be extremely dangerous, capable of killing everyone here.
Mekkatorque was terrified and panicked, but he knew it was no use!
He could only wait to die.
Just then, Jiang Jie reached out his hand.
Flying was too late, but he had other methods.
He had already made his move the moment he saw Sicco Thermaplugg press the button.
A large hand of Chi appeared in front of the bomb, blocking it and being extremely careful not to touch the fuse.
Then grip tightly, holding the bomb firmly. (First published on JiuKan Chinese website)
The bomb's impact was so strong that even Chi hand couldn't completely stop its collision, but it could slow it down.
Once the speed slows down, it becomes much easier to stop it.
Golden-white wings appeared, and Jiang Jie took to the sky.
He quickly flew to the bomb, then hugged it with both hands, without touching the tip.
After the scan in the game pod, Xiao Feng had already told Jiang Jie that the bomb wouldn't detonate unless its tip touched it; otherwise, Jiang Jie wouldn't have taken such a risk.
The bomb was still moving, crashing into Jiang Jie and slamming into the largest gear. Even Jiang Jie felt a sharp pain in his back.
To stop the bomb, Jiang Jie didn't even have time to form the Black Tortoise Armor Gang Qi, and he had to withstand the impact himself.
But his arms were still tightly gripping the bomb, and he did his best to prevent the tip of the bomb from touching the gears.
He did it!
At this moment, Mekkatorque's fear had just begun to take hold, and the others had not yet reacted to what was happening, while Jiang Jie had already eliminated the threat.
He was breathing heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the platinum ring on his finger was glowing with magical light; the bomb had been absorbed into it.
"Ah!" Sicco Thermaplugg cried out in fury, "You ruined my plans! I'll kill you!"
He pressed a button, and the next moment, a current like plasma surged toward Jiang Jie. This was the robot's most powerful weapon, capable of using electricity as a weapon to create a burning current.
It's very powerful!
But it didn't hit Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie is no longer there.
His reaction was much faster than Sicco Thermaplugg had imagined. The instant Sicco Thermaplugg pressed the button, he had already flapped his wings and soared into the sky, then instantly flew above Sicco Thermaplugg's robot.
Immediately afterwards, with the divine sword in hand, he brought it down heavily!
The Gnomes machine's outer shell was very thin, and its internal mechanical components were also very flimsy; it was simply impossible for it to withstand the sword's strike.
The next moment, the robot began to shatter from the top, and Sicco Thermaplugg, who was sitting on top, died instantly.
Having almost been caught off guard, Jiang Jie's anger was understandable.
A strike delivered in rage could penetrate even a solid block of iron, let alone a Jiang Jie.
In less than a second, Sicco Thermaplugg had been cleaved in two from head to toe.
One second later, the entire robot was split in two, becoming two halves.
At that moment, another robot nearby was charging towards Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie knew what that thing was.
Crowd Pummeler 9-60, Sicco Thermaplugg plagiarized the work of a craftsman and created a little boss, but it's nothing compared to Jiang Jie.
Its actual combat strength is probably not even as good as an Obsidian Sentinel, so how could it be a match for Jiang Jie?
Jiang Jie then swung his hand, sending the Crowd Pummeler Chi from the circular platform to a platform thirty meters high, where they crashed into a pile of scrap metal.
That's the nature of these robots; they may have powerful weapons, but they're also quite fragile—a simple rock could shatter them. How could they possibly survive a fall from such a height?
It can only be scrapped.
At this point, most of the Gnomes were still unaware of what had happened, and some mechanics were still lying on the ground studying the blueprints.
From the moment Sicco Thermaplugg appeared until now, less than half a minute has passed in total, yet it's already over.
The entire Hall of Gears fell silent. Mekkatorque had thought Gnomeregan was doomed and was filled with resentment towards the traitor, but now it was over, and over so quickly. He was utterly shocked by the strength Jiang Jie had displayed.
Everyone was shocked, except for Brann, who had witnessed Jiang Jie's victory in Uldaman, who shrugged and didn't seem to care.
Compared to Ironaya and Archaedas, what are two robots that are only two or three meters tall?
If Uldaman is a level 40 dungeon, then Gnomeregan at most level 30. What's so difficult about that?
That's all there is to it.
Apart from the buzzing of electricity from the crushing robots, the entire Hall of Gears was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared in awe at Jiang Jie, who was still flying in the sky.
Just then, Amy, who had been looking up, saw Jiang Jie his golden-white wings and let out a groan, uttering the first sound, "Angel, it was you!"
