Chapter 59 Star Core: Danger!

On the Star Train.

The commotion caused by the creation engine had already attracted the attention of two elderly people guarding their homes on the train.

Walter was somewhat eager to try it out; he was very interested in the massive mech that was the Creation Engine.

“That big guy seems to be a real problem for Danheng and the others.” Walter pushed up his glasses and looked at Himeko not far away as he spoke slowly.

"It seems...that's true."

Himeko sat on the circular sofa in the sightseeing car, her legs slightly crossed. In her left hand, she held a delicately crafted cup filled with half-empty coffee, which emitted a slight steam. Hearing Walter's voice, she nodded and continued:

"You can't sit still anymore?"

"No..." Walter indicated that he was not interested in the creation engine; he was simply interested in it.

"Don't worry, with our logistics officer Zhou Xiao down there, nothing will happen," Ji Zi said, putting down her coffee cup.

Honestly.

If Zhou Xiao hadn't been there, she might have actually supported Dan Heng and his team by launching a railgun or something, but with Zhou Xiao present, the energy needed to launch the railgun was saved...

After all... she was going to pay Zhou Xiao, and she had to make sure that money was well spent...

Zhou Xiao...

Thinking of Zhou Xiao, Walter felt somewhat relieved.

Who would have thought that Zhou Xiao, who had been lost and out of contact for so long, actually managed to build a communication transmitter and receiver on the Yalilo No. 6 train and make contact with the train crew.

When he deciphered the unfamiliar signal and learned that it was Zhou Xiao's information, he was completely stunned. He never imagined that Zhou Xiao could contact the train crew in this way.

now.

Zhou Xiao, on whom Himeko and Welt placed high hopes, is currently fighting against the Creation Engine with Danheng and the others in Yongdong Ridge.

Zhou Xiao picked up a rusty Belloberg standard longsword from somewhere, holding Kafka's longsword in his left hand and the one he had just picked up in his right, dodging the attacks from the Creation Engine.

"If this continues and Cocolia fails to stop it, we'll be shot to death by this giant robot..."

"We need to find a way to stop this giant robot..." Dan Heng tried to get closer to the creation engine, his eyes searching for its core.

How to stop this mech? Zhou Xiao pondered for a moment and felt that there were still many ways.

For example, destroying the control device of the creation engine.

Alternatively, destroy the star's core and cut off the energy supply to the creation engine.

Alternatively, you could dismantle the creation engine, rendering it incapable of combat.

These three methods can obviously be carried out simultaneously.

Zhou Xiao's gaze was fixed on the distant substance that resembled a star core.

Star Core: Danger!

The saying goes, "To catch a thief, first catch his king," and "To strike a snake, strike its vital spot." Since the Star Core supplies energy to Cocolia and the Creation Engine, it must be destroyed first.

In an instant.

The power of the gale attached itself to Kafka's longsword, which was then drawn by Zhou Xiao, and the powerful air blade sliced ​​through the ground towards the star core.

Since no one noticed this attack, it was an "unintentional act" and thus the strike hit the core of the star directly.

Unfortunately, the star core seemed to be very hard, and it seemed to be unharmed even after taking a blow from Zhou Xiao.

"It's no use..."

Seeing Zhou Xiao take the lead in attacking the star core, Dan Heng's voice rang out.

"The core material of a star is very hard and difficult to destroy using conventional methods..."

...

Star Core: Don't drag me into your bragging. Taking a direct hit isn't pleasant either...

Although the star core is very hard, it is not indestructible. Given the strength of Zhou Xiao's attack, there is no guarantee that the star core will not explode after being slashed a dozen or so times.

Cocolia above noticed that Zhou Xiao had launched an attack on the star core.

She found this foolish behavior utterly childish.

If the star core were so easily destroyed, wouldn't the builders of Beloborg have destroyed it?

If that despicable person could destroy a star core with just a broken knife, wouldn't the Belloborg family have any dignity left?

Voice of the Star Core: Stop him, stop him.

The seductive voice of the Star Core rang in her ears, causing her to pause slightly.

"Creation Engine... Destroy him!"

Since the Star Core had said so, Cocolia issued a command to the Creation Engine.

The creation engine, which had received the order, and even the others stopped attacking and focused their attacks on Zhou Xiao.

The enormous mechanical claw swept towards Zhou Xiao like a tidal wave, and Zhou Xiao frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Although the Creation Engine was incredibly destructive, its speed was clearly insufficient, unable to catch this "wandering wind." Zhou Xiao dodged several times, only to find that the Creation Engine's attacks were still focused on him, and it was even ignoring the attacks from others that were insignificant.

"This big guy...does he have a grudge against him? The infamous reputation of the Gale Warriors has already spread throughout the land?"

Seele's scythe in the lower area was almost smoking from spinning, but it still hadn't caused any real damage to the creation engine. She panted and adjusted her breathing, glancing around the battlefield and noticing something amiss.

It seems the creation engine is only attacking Zhou Xiao.

She immediately told the others about her discovery. Dan Heng was silent for two seconds before speaking:

"Zhou Xiao has held back the Creation Engine, creating an opportunity for us to launch an attack on Cocolia... Don't miss this opportunity!"

As he spoke, he attempted to climb onto the creation engine...

...

It really is...

Zhou Xiao's patience was wearing thin, and he felt a pang of heartache as he faced the creation engine before him.

This heartache stems from the fact that he ultimately could not preserve this engine of creation.

He was originally quite interested in this creation engine.

However, his complex and enormous body made it difficult for him to pinpoint the exact location of the creation engine's control mechanism.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take action.

This is heartbreaking for him, a mechanical builder.

Since we can't preserve it... then we'll just have to eliminate it, otherwise it will hinder our operations too much.

...

Zhou Xiao pressed the Gale Mask tightly against his cheek, the cold touch making him even more alert.

They have also become more proficient in controlling the power of the wind.

The light cone in the pocket emitted a faint glow, and a pure gust of wind power adhered to the longsword, causing the blade to hum.

The surrounding air currents gathered and swirled around him, centered on his location.

As the mechanical giant claw reached for him once again, he did not dodge this time. Faced with the overwhelming sense of oppression, his eyes remained calm.

"Zhou Xiao! Get out of the way!"

Originally cooperating with Dan Heng and the others, San Yueqi panicked when she saw Zhou Xiao not dodging the attack of the Creation Engine. At such a distance, she could not provide support, so she could only put a shield on Zhou Xiao.

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything, please begging for everything. *sobs*
