"?"
Xier was confused; she wondered if she had misheard.
"Natasha, what's wrong? He's the enemy! He ordered these automatons to wound so many of us..."
Listening to Seele's words, Zhou Xiao knew that the current cooperation and unity between the Earthfire and Swaro was only temporary due to an external enemy. If he wanted them to listen and sit down for a proper talk, he would need to give them a push.
Using strength... to overturn Schwarz's rational data calculations, and to suppress the complex and volatile human nature of Seele and other Earthfire people.
...
"You're right, I am the enemy... Come, stop me."
Zhou Xiao's calm eyes swept over everyone present, including Schwarz.
His arrogant tone undoubtedly ignited the fury of the people of Rocky Town who had come to join the resistance.
"What's with the arrogance!"
"We've already taken down so many mechs! Do you think we're afraid of just one of you?"
"Wait... he's a Kunfeng Zhe... Ah, then it's alright."
"So what if it's Kunfeng! There are so many of us, even if he had three heads and six arms, he still couldn't beat us!"
"Exactly! I've had a grudge against that Kunfeng guy for ages! He's been making money off Scott! He's ripped us off!"
"Get him!"
...
Everyone present needed an outlet for their emotions, and Zhou Xiao, the "big villain," naturally became that outlet.
Kunfeng...
Especially with that title attached to it.
It comes with a built-in resentment buff.
After all, Scott used the Kunfengzhe to run a lot of fraudulent gambling schemes that didn't benefit him or others.
...
The people in Di Huo and Pan Yan Town were furious, while the mechanical settlement was completely silent. As automated soldiers, they were more focused on studying Zhou Xiao's behavioral logic.
...
“Look…” Zhou Xiao glanced at Natasha:
"Even though you are the most respected doctor in Rocky Town, having saved countless lives... what about now? You still can't stop them, and... even Oleg isn't listening to you..."
Natasha: "..."
Seeing that Natasha did not answer, Zhou Xiao then looked at Schwarzkopf in the distance:
"Swarovski... use your data to analyze what my win rate is against the entire Earthfire and your Mechanical Settlement alone?"
Upon hearing this, Schwarzro actually did some calculations.
"Based on the current situation... your chances of winning against Di Huo and the others are seventy percent, with a fluctuation of no more than five percent."
"Including mechanized settlements... the victory rate in combat is fifty percent," with a fluctuation of no more than five percent.
One asked the question, and the other dared to answer it.
Schwarz's calculations were vague, after all, Zhou Xiao hadn't used his full strength in his database.
With the addition of mechanized settlements, it's a 50/50 split.
Zhou Xiao nodded upon hearing this. The self-discipline of the Gale Warrior in his pocket faintly emitted a light, and with the help of the light cone, an extremely pure Gale Force was fed back to Zhou Xiao.
An invisible current of energy swirled around him and eventually adhered to the longsword in its scabbard, causing it to vibrate and hum.
rub--
With his longsword drawn, Zhou Xiao moved with incredible speed, his left hand gripping the blade taut as he delivered the single, sweeping cut.
In an instant.
Still struggling in the airflow, Seele felt a gust of wind sweep past her side, making it difficult for her to breathe.
boom!
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the cave where Zhou Xiao was standing collapsed, and the powerful airflow, like a sharp knife sculpted by nature, added a splash of color to this snow-covered world.
The people around hurriedly grabbed cover to avoid being blown away.
???
As the dust settled, the cold currents of ice and snow slowly seeped from the ground into the ground, making people feel the chill.
"Holy crap..."
"This...is this something a human could do?"
Still suspended in mid-air, Seele stared at the vast rift that had appeared before her, her expression frozen. She rubbed her eyes, but the abyss before her still offered no way to see the other side.
Natasha, standing next to Zhou Xiao, stared wide-eyed at the canyon before her, then at Zhou Xiao, the creator of the canyon.
She, being closest to Zhou Xiao, knew very well what had just happened.
Strong gusts of air radiated outwards like ripples, and she couldn't even control the billowing hem of her skirt...
If she hadn't been behind Zhou Xiao, she had every reason to believe she would have been blown away.
...
"Big brother..." Clara almost fell into the chasm just now, but luckily Schwarz pulled her up.
Clara, standing cautiously on Schwarzkopf's giant hand, gazed at the breathtaking masterpiece before her, a sight she would never forget.
"The win rate is less than 10%, and the variables are full of uncertainty."
Schwarz looked at Zhou Xiao. He first updated the win rate estimate, then shook his head, indicating that Zhou Xiao's variable increased the probability of the data's accuracy being biased.
...
After that slash, everyone's gaze towards Zhou Xiao changed. At first, they were shouting that they wouldn't get any better fruit than Zhou Xiao, but now their eyes were filled with fear, a fear that went to their very souls.
I've calmed down.
Everyone calmed down.
No one dared to utter another word.
...
So... I've become this strong.
Zhou Xiao moved his left arm; the slash he had just delivered had put a considerable strain on the muscles in his left hand.
He was somewhat surprised to see the masterpiece he had created. He had just used the light cone to swing the knife once with a little seriousness.
