"It’s impossible. You are currently under the control of the Absolute Territory. I am well aware of this set of machinery from Sir K150. Although this is not a capability possessed by a true Area Controller, it is certainly beyond what your F7-level Mechanical Warrior can contend with."
Crimson Fox said in terror, his heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle locking onto Lin Yuan's immobilized Mechanical Body. However, before he could pull the trigger, a terrifying roar like a hurricane surged toward them, enveloping both Crimson Fox and Sir K150 in an instant. It was Lin Yuan's Hurricane Hammer!
Yet, Crimson Fox was still Crimson Fox. Despite being suddenly attacked, he remained calm and quickly erected three Energy Shields to protect himself and Sir K150 at the center. After all, he was someone with Level 1 Assembly Mechanic skills; if Lin Yuan could do it, he certainly could as well.
Thus, while the power of the Hurricane Hammer was immense, it merely shattered those three Energy Shields without harming Crimson Fox himself.
Seizing that brief moment of pause, Crimson Fox grabbed Sir K150 and spun away. At the same time, his Mechanical Arms fired off fifteen shots from the heavy-duty Interstellar Sniper Rifle along the trajectory of the previous Hurricane Hammer attack, nearly covering all void areas within his sensory range. At this point, clever as he was, he had already deduced what kind of cloaking device Lin Yuan had used to conceal his true self; the immobilized Lin Yuan was merely a decoy.
However, this time, with his powerful sensing abilities, Crimson Fox miscalculated. He emptied all his ammunition without any results; Lin Yuan seemed to have truly turned into air.
This was simply impossible!
"Heh heh, Crimson Fox, didn’t expect this, did you? You were wrong—dead wrong. You think you’re clever, but you’ve forgotten who first proposed the Pterosaur Project. Do you really think my title as a Level 1 Maintenance Assembler is just for show?"
Lin Yuan's voice echoed again, elusive and unpredictable. Yet Crimson Fox remained unfazed. He understood that Lin Yuan was using a cloaking device to locate the Battle Machine. Based on that previous round of shotgun fire, he had roughly determined that the powerful shotgun’s effective range did not exceed one hundred meters. For him, as long as he stayed outside fifty meters, he wouldn’t suffer any fatal damage.
But if Lin Yuan dared to approach within fifty meters relying on his cloaking device, his Auditory Radar would surely pick up on even the slightest disturbance. In other words, Lin Yuan would only have one chance to attack; after that, it would be certain death.
Understanding this clearly made Crimson Fox smile. He leisurely continued to load ammunition into his heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle. The power of this Sniper Rifle was tremendous; thus energy ammunition would not suffice—he needed specially crafted physical rounds.
"Alright then, Papaya. I admit I underestimated you. So why don’t you come forth with your entire plan? I assume this whole scheme is your proud masterpiece; wouldn’t it be a pity if there were no opponents to appreciate it?"
"Oh? That makes sense. Well, I'm not afraid to share my plan with you. In fact, it aligns perfectly with your approach and that of Lord Jazz. The idea is to eliminate everyone—at least most of them—and then use their Mechanical Bodies to assemble the Pterosaur H-Wreckage of the Fighter Jet. Because aside from this method, there’s no other way to obtain those precious Mechanical Parts in this place. I was already considering this when I provided Lord Jazz with the location of this great Gorge, so don’t praise me for being clever; I’ve just been thinking about this plan longer than any of you. I started planning it about twenty days ago!"
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Yuan surprisingly struck up a conversation with Crimson Fox as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years.
"But you know, relying solely on my own strength, how could I possibly kill everyone here? Even with a few old friends by my side, it would be impossible. So, I thought of using others to do the dirty work. Oh, at this point, please don’t blame me for being ruthless or unethical; I still have my principles. My friends—I would never harm them. Ahem, well, moving on. I had Hal help me select the targets, and I arrived at that mountain's belly four days early. There, I quickly disassembled the Pterosaur H-Wreckage of the Fighter Jet and reassembled it. Sounds silly, right? That’s why when you arrived at the mountain's belly, you saw the Pterosaur Wreckage intact. But what you don’t know is that during this disassembly and reassembly process, I used the materials and extra Mechanical Parts in my possession to create a new Papaya Two for myself!"
"Hehe, doesn’t that sound familiar? Actually, it’s not that difficult; with my Level 1 Mechanical Assembler ability, I accomplished it quite easily. Then I placed my Papaya inside the mountain's belly and had my Smart Butler Sister Claire greet you on my behalf. Yes, the one who was immobilized—wasn’t it realistic? Even you, Crimson Fox, an expert in your field, were perfectly deceived. Tsk tsk, I think I'm quite talented! As for my real body, it was hidden within the Pterosaur H-Wreckage of the Fighter Jet, and I used my assembly skills to perfectly integrate my Mechanical Body with the Pterosaur H. This way, Mr. Anson—oh, I should call him Lord Jazz—would have no way of discovering my presence. Of course, even if he had suspicions, it wouldn’t matter because I still have a Killing Weapon in hand. Crimson Fox, do you want to know what it is? Just look behind you!"
Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, Crimson Fox spun around like a whirlwind, locking onto a faint disturbance before unleashing his heavy Interstellar Sniper Rifle in a frenzy until all ammunition was expended!
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
The Papaya clone that had been immobilized within the absolute domain—belonging solely to Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body—suddenly broke free from its powerful restraints like lightning and soared forward with a blade!
This strike was nothing short of lightning-fast! Even though there were over two hundred meters separating him from Crimson Fox, it felt as if they were mere steps apart. What was even more terrifying was that this strike carried such overwhelming momentum that it created a vivid blue rainbow bridge in mid-air!
"Swift Evasion pursuit!"
By the time Crimson Fox regained his senses, it was already too late. Even though his own Mechanical Body was quite formidable, it couldn’t withstand such a ferocious attack and was cleaved in half! He fell into a severely injured state.
"You fool; you really are obedient! Well then, it's time for everything to come to an end! Farewell, Mr. Crimson Fox; I'll always remember you—a presence so stylish."
Lin Yuan's figure landed heavily on the ground as he spoke expressionlessly.
