Chapter 874: Armed Fear's Three Consecutive Defeats

The atmosphere in the Armament Hangar turned strange.

Led by Augustine, the many mech-soldiers all cast furious glares at Armed Fear.

Weak? Trash?

Wasn't this new arrival being a bit too arrogant?

As the Master's machine bodies, they had all received grace from the Master.

If it were talking about how they used to be, that would be one thing.

But not now!

The Master's power surged within the chest of every single one of their bodies.

To say something like that, wasn't it the same as denying the Master's gift along with them!?

Armed Fear didn't spare Augustine and the others a single glance, instead bowing its head even deeper toward Ye Qiyan.

"Overlord, thank you for your grace. All future obstacles will be resolved by me alone. Roadblocks on the path ahead shall be crushed beneath my feet. Whether mountains or rivers, Armed Fear will carve out a quiet path for you!"

Armed Fear was filled with absolute loyalty toward Ye Qiyan.

This loyalty, like that of Augustine and the others, was not tainted with even a trace of falsehood.

[Miatira's Special Note: Could this be... a yandere?]

Armed Fear's identification light screen appeared before Ye Qiyan.

Ye Qiyan ignored Miatira's special note.

He shifted the light screen to the side.

At this moment, Augustine had already stepped forward, likewise dropping to one knee behind Ye Qiyan.

"Overlord, please allow me to do battle with it."

There were no superfluous words, and Ye Qiyan had even less intention of refusing.

Since Armed Fear's personality was like this, then this battle would occur sooner or later.

So, let it be today. Whoever wins and whoever loses, a single look would reveal it all.

Still, even though Armed Fear's identification panel looked rather luxurious, especially that three-thousand-point stamina cap.

It was just that...

"Begin."

In the Training Grounds.

Ye Qiyan sat upon the elevated platform, cradling in his arms WALL-E, who was busy cheering for Augustine, while Eve beside him also wore a rather displeased expression toward Armed Fear.

Even Lisette's gentle smile seemed to conceal a certain emotion.

Only Red Tears remained dumbly leaning against Ye Qiyan's leg, without making a single sound.

Following Ye Qiyan's command.

A hurricane swept across the simulated desert of the Training Grounds.

Armed Fear released its armor, restoring itself to its original height of eighty meters.

In its presence, Augustine was like a child standing before an adult.

But Augustine had no intention of retreating.

It raised its Flame Spear in one hand and took the initiative to strike.

Incineration explosive shells rained down like fire from the heavens, turning the Training Grounds into a sea of flames.

Armed Fear was contemptuous, and the two ultra-giant cannons on its shoulders bombarded the ground.

But this powerful force did not hit Augustine, nor could it even suppress the flames on the ground.

Augustine's eyes flashed, its legs pushed hard, and the flight backpack on its back assisted it in sweeping past Armed Fear's flank at low altitude, the sky-full of fire rain screening even Armed Fear's detection.

"Is all you can do run?!"

Armed Fear's armor shifted, and from the mechanical spine on its back, a giant Fangtian Halberd separated out.

Fangtian Wild Dance knocked down each of the Incineration rounds Augustine released, and immediately after, a massive amount of combat data surged within its core.

A mass of gravity waves emerged on the Fangtian Halberd, and it flew out while predicting Augustine's position.

"Useless machine body! The Overlord only needs me!"

Augustine said not a word. On the eve of that swiftly incoming gravity wave about to land a hit, the flames of the Flame Spear in its hand spread from its arm to cover its entire body in an instant.

[Mode - Incineration]

It blocked the gravity wave head-on with its Flame Spear.

Previously, that boy of the Golden Tribe had left his sword and his laurel crown to Augustine.

Now, one of its arms was forged from that melted laurel crown.

And within the broken Flame Spear, that golden sword had been fused.

Furthermore, Ye Qiyan had also injected just a tiny bit of Spirit into this Flame Spear and Augustine's new arm.

Although not much.

But the power of Sublimation allowed those two materials to perfectly combine with Augustine, even elevating its potential. The current Augustine might, at some certain moment, possess the possibility of advancing even further.

So from the very beginning, Ye Qiyan had known the outcome of this battle.

Moreover, Augustine still had a new ability it hadn't used yet.

After Incineration Mode activated, on the outer surface of Augustine's body, those black armor plates partially separated and recombined.

And those separated armor plates actually transformed midair into an armored clone identical to Augustine, only much smaller.

"Flame Spear, charge."

A steady voice entered Armed Fear's core.

It wanted to locate Augustine's position, but when it truly found it, it discovered that it simply could not match the opponent's speed.

When the Flame Spear pierced through Armed Fear's core.

The Training Grounds' environment completed its reconstruction.

Everything was like a dream upon waking, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Impossible, how? I was clearly stronger than it!"

Armed Fear stared unwillingly at Augustine standing across from it.

"Overlord! Please allow me to fight it once more, I will definitely win!"

Armed Fear's emotions were extremely anxious. Having failed to win its very first battle since birth, if it were a human, with this kind of personality, it would probably already be on the verge of tears.

Ye Qiyan took a sip of ice cola, and smilingly raised his hand, rubbing the rabbit ears of the Mechanical Girl beside him.

"Fine, but for the next match, change opponents."

Excitement sparkled in Eve's eyes. When she stepped onto the Training Grounds, leveraging her own extreme speed advantage, she tested out all several of the items obtained from the Golden Tribe.

Drawing the Eternal Cutter, activating Overdrive Star mode.

It took only one minute.

Armed Fear met its second defeat.

"Overlord, I..."

"Don't rush. You're strong, so I'll arrange another opponent for you."

High in the sky.

The Hunt yawned.

It did not activate Transcend Mode. Relying solely on close-combat attacks in its normal mode, it forcibly tore Armed Fear's armor to shreds.

And so.

Three consecutive defeats.

Armed Fear fell into silence.
