Him And Their Stars

Chapter 214: On the cybernetics of gray fog (1500 plus updates)

Generally speaking, the so-called psychokinesis type refers to the mages; it’s not a very smart choice to compare output with them from a distance. However, mages are generally not very good at close combat, which is probably the basic setting for most parallel Universes.

Therefore, it’s not too strange that these few machines made such a choice.

However, this is exactly the effect Yu Lian wanted. After all, he wasn't a true mage; Spiritual Energy Pulse was the strongest long-range attack skill he possessed. At most, he could use the Pamino Ring to blow some wind.

If they really stayed there and barraged him, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.

Yu Lian casually sucked, reversing the Spiritual Energy Psychokinesis, immediately causing the thunderous chop of the robot directly in front of him to miss. Then, with a sliding step, treading a spiritual pace, his body was like a willow leaf in a strong wind, and he directly bypassed the opponent from its side.

He suddenly turned, stepping directly onto the robot's spiky back, and with a leap, landed on its shoulder.

Guard B, slightly behind, raised its battle-axe, preparing to deliver a powerful blow to Yu Lian from behind, but its chest was struck hard by a heavy object, sending it flying back several meters and crashing onto the ground on its back.

It was a silver metallic sphere, only the size of an olive. In front of this towering steel Colossus, it was like a soft BB pellet, made of sponge, the kind that would only elicit a silly laugh if it hit a two-year-old's head. However, when it struck the steel Colossus, it was as if it had been hit by a hundreds-ton hammer, emitting an anti-physical "clang" sound.

The loud noise echoed down the corridor into the distance, and it was unknown how many patrolling robots were alerted. Not to mention the enemies behind the door.

Major Baldur in the control room did indeed hear the loud noise outside and quickly opened the surveillance. The first thing he saw was Yu Lian riding on the robot's head, doing some unknown flashy maneuver.

“There really are enemies inside the ship!” He wasn’t surprised, but watching the scene of the opponent squatting on the head of such a terrifying combat machine made his teeth ache a little.

“It’s really a spiritual energy user, tsk… troublesome!”

“And he’s fierce! Those two big iron lumps look incredibly fierce, I wouldn’t even dare stand next to them. This guy is directly riding on its neck, isn’t that even fiercer?”

Since Yu Lian was completely tucked into the robot's neck, the surveillance couldn't capture his face for a while, making it impossible to confirm his identity.

“Order the surrounding robots to come and provide support!” the Major commanded.

“Major, but wouldn’t that give others an opportunity? No one can be sure if there are other spiritual energy users inside the ship!”

Major Baldur had to admit that his subordinate made a good point. spiritual energy users were all elusive; who knew if there was some trickery involved?

His subordinates had already picked up their weapons, just waiting for his order to go out and provide support. In the eyes of these battle-hardened special forces, even if the opponent was indeed a fierce spiritual energy user, with the cooperation of their robots, they were not without a fighting chance. More importantly, they really didn't want the enemy to cause a commotion and alarm Brigadier General Morey. Ever since he had let himself go and become an anti-establishment figure, his mental state and demeanor seemed to be getting increasingly bizarre, and everyone really didn't want to face him.

Major Baldur thought for a moment, but still shook his head: “No, our mission is to guard this place! Contact the main hall and see if there’s any unusual activity there! Also, show me the status of the security room!”

In his opinion, the greatest threat on the ship was still the three hundred security personnel confined in the security room. These people were well-equipped and quite well-trained, so they were actually very combat-effective.

One subordinate couldn't help but add: “Actually, if we were to suck all the oxygen out of the security room…”

He dared not say any more, because at this moment, Major Baldur was staring at him with a rather dangerous gaze, scaring him into trembling on the spot. He quickly ducked his head and went back to work.

The images displayed on the ship's information terminal in the monitoring room confirmed that everything was normal in the security room, but the special operations team members here couldn't relax, because the situation outside their door was simply too abnormal.

That war golem was knocked to the ground by the Fa Fu'er Dragon Eye, but this kind of weapon, specifically prepared for war, was not a precise yet fragile laboratory product. Since it was a weapon, even if it was dug out of the ground, it would inevitably possess the rugged and durable characteristics a weapon should have.

It struggled on the ground, propping itself up with its hands. A jack-like device directly popped out from the structural mechanism of its arm bends, pushing its heavy body to perform a carp flip on the spot. But halfway through the flip, the Fa Fu'er Dragon Eye once again whistled over, and without hesitation, it delivered another “Duang!”

This Gray Mist Guard was smacked down onto the ground again and couldn't get up for a while.

If it were the mainstream combat robots currently in service in various countries, there would probably be an infinite, teeth-grinding cycle of getting up, being pushed down, getting up, and being pushed down again.

However, the back of this robot directly grew pulleys, carrying its entire massive body sliding backward. The mechanical structures on its body began to emit a distorted mechanical grinding sound, and in just a few seconds, it transformed from a humanoid metal Colossus into a large iron centipede crawling along the ground.

However, the iron centipede did not immediately pounce. Instead, it crawled directly along the ground to the wall, all the way up to the ceiling, clearly attempting to launch a surprise attack from a place Yu Lian couldn't focus on.

“My hard power is still a bit lacking; I can't fully unleash the power of the Psychokinesis Magic Eye! If I were to advance one more stage, I could directly use this thing to break open the door! Let alone a mere Gray Mist War Golem!” Yu Lian thought, accelerating his movements. The behemoth beneath him, no matter how violently it moved, could not shake him off. Taking advantage of these few seconds, his hands had already penetrated the robot's outer armor. Subtle spiritual energy fluctuations probed into the mechanical interior, surrounded by armor and various pipelines.

“Confirming model! Gray Mist Armored War Golem Mark 2! Multi-environment combat model! I’ve dealt with this thing more than once in my Past life. Where was its control center again? Right! Behind the thickest back armor! Phew, good thing it’s not one of those nano-types numbered 10 or later… Excellent, found it! As expected, there’s a self-destruct device! Turn it off first! Good, you’re mine!”

Yu Lian exhaled. In his Past life, he already felt that the greatest use of spiritual energy wasn't really for combat and showing off power, but for doing things he "figured out" to promote productivity! It's just a pity that arrogant transcendents felt that merely possessing spiritual energy made them "nobles," completing a class leap, and then no longer considered the plight of the working masses. Even though they themselves were once a part of them.

Sure enough, the entire Universe owes a debt to labor education!

Thinking this, Yu Lian quickly suppressed these sudden random thoughts that flooded his mind. Now was not the time to consider such things.

The lights on the steel Colossus's chest flickered and jumped continuously, first a murderous red, then orange, twitching a few times before extinguishing, then lighting up again, staying on each color for nearly half a second. At first glance, it looked like a spotlight tripping in some tasteless third-tier city nightclub.

Then, the Colossus suddenly raised its four arms, and the blades, swords, axes, and hammers at the ends of its arms folded down, revealing the dark muzzles of cannons once more.

“Boom boom boom!” The steel Colossus began to sweep, instantly firing over a hundred shells, almost all of which hit the “big centipede” that was just about to crawl over from the ceiling to attack.

The centipede was caught off guard and hit; half of its body was completely severed, and the upper half crashed to the ground with a “thud.” It hadn't lost its combat capability, however; the upper half of the centipede transformed again, supporting itself and opening its muzzles.

But at this moment, the Fa Fu'er Dragon Eye once again whistled over, flying directly into its severed wound. A crackling sound of electrical arcs was heard, and the robot twitched a few times as if it had epilepsy, sparks and electrical arcs overflowing from within, and then it completely fell silent.

The first Gray Mist Guard machine, successfully disabled!

While thinking, Yu Lian manipulated the other Guard beneath him, launching another barrage of indiscriminate fire at the corridor entrance, taking out at least three newly arrived Gray Mist Scout machines. Only then did he turn around and unleash another cannon barrage at the large door in front of him.

He unleashed his firepower so recklessly, as if he wasn't at all worried about accidentally blowing the ship apart.

In reality, Yu Lian wasn't entirely sure if the firepower carried by the Gray Mist War Golem could truly blast through the important hatch of the blue star princess. But if he wasn't sure, then the rebellious soldiers inside were even less certain.

After all, the blue star princess was a “purely” domestically produced luxury cruise ship. Who knew if there were any shady deals with some financial consortium that resulted in some shoddy construction?

In short, Yu Lian continued this indiscriminate bombardment for nearly half a minute, incidentally taking out two more waves of reinforcing robots. He could confirm that almost all the Gray Mist robots on the entire ship should have been attracted to him by now.

This way, Wien’s actions should also be much more convenient. Good luck to him.

At the same time, the armored door in front was already glowing red from the direct impact of the small-caliber ion cannons. Yu Lian simply switched his two arms to power hammers and began to smash the glowing hot door with a thunderous roar.

This time, the door finally showed some signs of deformation.

And the people inside finally couldn't sit still. They saw a hole, just big enough for a mouse to pass through, suddenly appear in the front armored door, and a fist-sized cylindrical object rolled out from inside.

That was an electromagnetic pulse bomb! It truly had a miraculous effect on mechanical bodies! More importantly, Yu Lian, of course, couldn't fit through such a small opening.

However, this was still the opportunity Yu Lian had been waiting for!

He couldn't get in, but the Fa Fu'er Dragon Eye could!

Hmm, making up for missed updates by pretending to pay back debt. Anyway, I’m almost out of drafts, so I’m just giving up.
