Chapter 241 - Roberts Ultimate Kill

Chapter 241: Robert’s Ultimate Kill

Gu Ding disappeared, but the woman from the Dark Sectors remained where she was.

Biggie, Robert, and Tagore’s attacks arrived almost at the same time, but Potie held out her hand that seemed slow but was in fact swift, and easily stopped them all. Then her eyes fell on Lilliath, who was clearly her second target.

Robert clenched his fist immediately, his whole wrist rapidly transformed into a thick cannon barrel. He targeted the cannon barrel on the woman, and then, without warning, a flash of black energy shot out of the cannon barrel at a speed beyond the perception of the naked eye, instantly drowning her figure in it.

“Damn it! What is this?” After the black energy disappeared, Potie’s figure once again appeared, and her left hand, which she used to block the attack, appeared completely disintegrated.

“This is an oriented antimatter annihilation cannon, which can produce annihilation effects even if your body is made of pure energy particles,” Robert explained in a very serious tone. “In other words, even if you are a real deity, the attack would be capable of harming you.”

Potie did not realize that the toughest guy in their crew would be the most unassuming robot. Her left hand began to slowly take form again. In fact, her body, just like Roland, had already completed the entire materialization, and she was only one opportunity away from becoming a deity. The deities were called deities because they were no longer flesh and blood. Therefore, the only way to die was for the energy that made up the body to be destroyed. Just like the one that just lost one hand, they could grow it back in the blink of an eye. Although the robot’s antimatter annihilation cannon could cause her some damage, it was almost impossible for it to kill her.

Robert also knew that Potie would not give up so easily. He took a weapon from the Inventory and handed it to Biggie. “The intelligent optical ion shock saber may not be a god item, but it can cause damage to demigods and deities at an atomic level. As it carried primary intelligence, the saber could simulate some features of a metal saber, such as the impact of the metal, the toughness of the metal...”

“Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed.” What Biggie needed was a weapon that could cause damage to the opponent. With the ion saber in his hand, Biggie took a step forward and held Lilliath behind him.

“I’ll get that little girl!” Potie’s left hand was now wholly reformed. It was no different than it was before. She might say so but she did not act immediately. Instead, she pulled three coffins out of the Inventory.

“Looks like this woman’s gonna do it...” Many demigods have heard of Potie’s forbidden arts.

No one dared to deny Potie’s strength, because she did not only have formidable close combat effectiveness, her spirit strength was also extremely terrifying. However, these two were not the most feared factors. It was because she knew a very special forbidden art. This forbidden art was also the main reason why she was ranked so high on the Demigod Monster Ranking.

Corpse dummy arts was the name of this forbidden art. It was handed down from the Middle Ages by the Witch Tribe. Potie had inadvertently inherited and acquired a few tricks, but just a few were already enough to increase her combat effectiveness to a terrifying level.

The three coffins rose slowly. Their lids opened automatically, and three whole bodies were revealed to everyone.

This scene made the surrounding audiences tremble with fear.

All the lights around the square had been broken because of the battle between Gu Ding and Ross. Despite most of them having extraordinary eyesight, the light and strange energy disturbance from the bodies left most people with only a vague outline of the face in the coffin, unable to identify who they were.

Potie quickly pinched her hands, and moments later, the three bodies in the coffin finally opened their eyes.

Biggie and the others immediately felt a tremendous amount of pressure from those three coffins.

Finally, the three bodies slowly moved. They stepped out of their coffins almost simultaneously.

Only then could everyone see their faces clearly.

There was much whispering in the air.

“Is that Dunn, who was number three on the Demigod Monster Ranking two hundred years ago?” One pointed to the one-eyed man in the middle.

“The one on the left seems to be Scrogg, who was ranked fourth on the Demigod Monster Ranking three hundred years ago?” Someone also identified the slender man on the left.

“The big guy on the right looks like Maguk, who was ranked seventh on the Demigod Monster Ranking eighty years ago. I heard he was killed by Potie and replaced.”

“Scrogg, who was number four, and Dunn, who was number three seem to have been killed by Olmor, the senior elder of the Dark Sectors... Now that their bodies are here. They should be given to Potie by Olmor. Since Potie can control all three, her actual combat effectiveness would make her qualified to rank number four on the Demigod Monster Ranking.”

Robert was the first to react when he saw the trio step out. He pulled four white energy spheres out of his Inventory. The four spheres were about thirty centimeters in diameter each. They were all white, emitting blinding rays of light.

Robert stuffed the four spheres into his body, one after the other, and his body began to transform acutely. In the blink of an eye, the original humanoid transformed into a huge ice blue and silver cannon.

The structure of the cannon barrel was similar to that of the Deicide Lilliath had seen before, but the cannon Robert had transformed was larger and more sophisticated.

“Biggie and Tagore, take care of Elsa and Lili. Although I can aim the attack, the aftermath of the attack will also affect those around me. Besides, close your eyes and open them after ten seconds.” Robert’s voice reached their ears, and almost at the same moment, four terrible white flashes of light, as violent as a stellar explosion, lit half the dark planet into daylight. The intense roar even reverberated through the planet’s atmosphere, rapidly spreading to every corner of the administrative planet, three hundred times the size of Cerule. The sound traveled beyond the bounds of physics and reached the speed of light.

In that instance, everyone on the planet thought it was the end of the world and looked in horror at the white sky.

The four flashes did not last long.

Ten seconds later, Biggie and the others opened their eyes and looked at the white sky where the light had not dissipated. Their eyes somewhat bewildered. However, he soon saw that Robert’s huge body began to melt after the wave of attacks.

“This is by far my strongest attack, the super nuclear annihilator cannon. If I hit them head-on, those four guys should also be dead. However, in order to have controlled an attack of this magnitude, my energy has been entirely exhausted, and that’s all I can do. The rest is up to you. Protect Lili and save Gu Ding...”

Robert’s body slowly turned into a ball of liquid metal, and Biggie immediately stowed the metal ball Robert had turned into away in his Inventory.

The sky was now dark again, and the night was clearer than ever.

“Damn the Mechanical Tribe!” A woman’s curse rose from the distant ruins.

Biggie took a step forward and held Lilliath behind him. Even Tagore, who had never taken his opponents seriously, had a grave look in his eyes.

“What a surprise. Gu Ding’s crew is harboring the human race’s arch-enemy–the Mechanical Tribe.” Potie slowly walked out, the left side of her body had been blown up. Everything from the left waist up to the shoulder was gone. Even the left side of her neck was blown off. However, she was still alive after suffering such injuries, and her body was undergoing rapid and visible healing.

“Not all of the Mechanical Tribe is bad. Not all of humanity is good too. Are there not scumbag organisations such as the Dark Sectors in the human race?” Lilliath said sharply.

“The little girl has a pretty sharp tongue. I can’t wait to see you kneel and beg for mercy after I kill all your companions,” Potie sneered.

“Do you really think you can win when all three of your paramours are completely dead? Old woman that no man wants, you’d better go home and play with corpses!” Lilliath continued taunting.

“You...” Poti was fuming. It was the first time she had ever been called an old woman. She did not know how to retort all of a sudden. A moment later though, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. “Are you really so naive to think that Mechanical Tribe guy can take out Dunn and Scrogg so easily?”

Potie was not sure whether the three corpse dummies were destroyed. She went into an alert state when Robert transformed, so she dodged the instant Robert attacked. However, half of her body was still hit badly and she almost died. Under the great impact of that energy, she momentarily lost her sense of the three corpse dummies, which she thought were all destroyed. However, just now she sensed that Dunn and Scrogg were reacting again, which meant they had not been killed.

Just as Potie spoke, the sound of rubble shifting about could be heard. The two remaining corpse dummies slowly emerged from the rubble.

Dunn’s body, from his upper abdomen down, was gone, but his body was still rapidly repairing itself.

Scrogg’s entire upper body was gone, even his head was gone, but he still had not died. His body was rapidly repairing itself.

Biggie’s brow furrowed as he saw what he knew was bound to be a tough fight...
