Hundreds of exoskeletons rushed in.

[You smashed one body with a punch, sliced ​​through the armor with a palm to pull out the core, and with a high-frequency battle blade, you cleaved open three more humanoid exoskeletons. The wounds were cleaned with plasma, charred black while preventing further bleeding.]

Some exoskeletons are only low- to mid-range models; they can't reach you when they jump, and they don't have the equipment to take off. You just have to be understanding and descend to give them a chance to hit you.

You walk slowly down the deserted avenue, leaving behind scrap metal and human remains.

[Actually, you could have just stayed put and dealt with everything, but that would have resulted in a huge pile of corpses, affecting the aesthetics and scaring away some bounty hunters.]

"Since you've come to hunt me down, you're probably prepared to die."

The battle was intense, and this intense situation lasted for five minutes.

Five minutes, or 300 seconds, is enough time for any reasonably well-equipped exoskeleton to run from 30 or 40 kilometers away.

[Due to the enormous bounty, they briefly lost their intelligence. Now, five minutes later, nearly one hundred and fifty exoskeletons have been destroyed and eliminated by you.]

The people in the distance finally felt fear. They stared behind you, at the scattered fragments of armor and human bodies along the path you had taken.

"This is a monster!"

"Impossible...there's absolutely no way I could be his match!"

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Even if he's an external manipulator with a manipulating physique, he should have almost exhausted his manipulating power in the intense battle just now. He's all show and no substance now!"

[A skeletal exoskeleton with a single horn on its head shouts.]

You nod to him: "That's right."

Then, the cannon in his palm fully charged and blasted him into pieces before he could dodge.

[To shatter an exoskeleton with a capability of around 1.5 with a single shot? Even if your exoskeleton armor has extremely high enhancement levels, there's still a cap; the manipulative power you consume would be close to half of a ninth-dan exoskeleton master's.]

Even if you possess the body of a master, it doesn't make sense!

"He must have been promoted to Inner Operator!"

"That's... a legendary level, a powerhouse who can control mechs!"

"How could we be fighting against such a being!?"

You triggered their complete breakdown!

Of the hundreds of exoskeletons nearby, the vast majority turned and left, but the next moment you sprinted across the ground like lightning, destroying five in the blink of an eye!

"Trying to escape?"

[The machine transforms, the dual blades work together, and electricity surges!]

You rushed into the most densely populated area.

"Lightning Whirlwind Slash!"

[You swept through like a lightning tornado, taking away eleven more exoskeletons!]

After a brief pause, a surge of air erupted from your back, and your giant hand reached out to grab the exoskeleton that had fled the furthest away. Then you continued charging forward, slamming it into the second and third exoskeletons.

[Seven suits of armor, each with a different appearance and low-to-medium quality, were stacked together. You slammed them to the ground, flames erupting from your palm.]

"I took down seven of them with one slap."

[In a sudden burst of power, you struck three times in ten seconds, destroying twenty-one exoskeleton warriors who were high above the food chain on this planet.]

[You retracted the hand that had just melted seven bodies, and slowly rose. The 3.8-meter-tall War Dragon XI resembled an invincible giant on the battlefield.]

The powerful roar of its engine is the beating of its heart; the billowing flames are its rising sweat; and the wreckage and scraps behind it become an immortal emblem.

"You think you can escape now that you've already come to help?"

Your voice rang out: "The rest is simple, just charge."

"Kill me, or I will kill you!"

"Those who try to escape—will be the first to die!"

Some people collapsed, some continued to flee, and others who had just arrived, not yet understanding what was happening, also attacked you.

Their end was naturally death, different ways of dying, but the same fate.

Someone repeatedly begged for mercy: "My daughter just turned sixteen this year..."

"If it's not a case of being kept by a sugar daddy."

[You brought your sword down.]

Someone knelt down and begged for mercy: "Hero, I have a sixteen-year-old mother to support..."

"Kill even the tile-bricklayers!"

[You kicked it and it exploded.]

"Is this daughter and the old mother the same person?"

"Then weren't those two grandfather and granddaughter?"

["Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm a streamer, I'm here to stream..."]

"Why didn't you say that at the beginning? The streamer deserves to die too!"

[You fire a single shot.]

"I am a woman, I can..."

"I advocate for gender equality!"

[The heat beam pierced through the opponent's armor between their eyebrows.]

【"oh?"】

[At one point, you stop and look at the giant exoskeleton approaching you.]

Standing five meters tall and as burly as a giant bear, it spoke in a deep, booming voice: "You are a rare master, and I hope we can have a fair fight."

"Understood." You drew your sword behind you, piercing through a slender exoskeleton, breaking the optical cloaking.

The electric current surged along the blade, turning the pilot inside the exoskeleton into a charred corpse.

You draw your knife, leaving only a pierced abdomen; the exoskeleton encasing the corpse collapses.

"Let's begin a fair fight, undisturbed."

The giant bear suddenly charged forward in a rage, shouting things like, "How dare you!" and "This is impossible!"

"So, why didn't we just have a fair fight from the start?" you tease him. "Why did you have to pretend, talking about fairness while secretly letting her betray me? Doesn't she deserve to die?"

This enraged giant bear is the strongest of today's enemies. Its shell is extremely hard, and it's quite agile. Its only weakness is its slow speed.

[But after a dozen or so rounds, you still managed to tear open its shell. The middle-aged man inside looked at you, pulled his hand out, picked up a manipulator pulse gun, and fired at you. The shots hit the war dragon's shell, but didn't even leave a scratch.]

"Oh, they're father and daughter. I thought they were a couple."

You plunged the knife into his chest.

"I hope that in your next life, you and your father will live in a peaceful era, where you won't have to live on the edge of a knife."

"Oh no, not the next life, but another parallel universe."

"That was the past, and it is also the present; it is the true time and space of twenty-two years ago, a time before everything had happened."

"Whether the elderly are still middle-aged, the middle-aged are still teenagers, or the children haven't even been born yet, so many things can change from that point on."
