MTLNOVEL Chapter 10: Doomed Squad
Lines of Arcane Energy were released from his body, and before people could notice the true form of the Destructive Colossus, Li Aozi already controlled the conscripted bodies and calmly descended into the center of the White Plum Army's capital.
"...It's over."
He raised his hand, and ashes like snow slipped through his fingertips.
Once upon a time, completing the 'Frost Plated Bone White' task was something he couldn't achieve even after advancing to Gamma Rank (3).
But now, just a word from him could send 170,000 Gamma Rank (3) players, with their immortal bodies, onto the battlefield, rendering the White Plum Army utterly powerless against them.
Not to mention, the Arcane Energy stored in the White Obelisk was so abundant that summoning even a fraction of it would unleash earth-shattering power.
Those stubborn matriarchists who oppressed both men and women were not worth mentioning to him.
"But how many people have been persecuted by the dominion of the White Frost Plated because of my negligence and 'prioritization' over these forty years?"
Li Aozi let Frost Snow go and sighed sentimentally.
Forty years ago, he, Nomi, Qiu Ran, Du Zexin, Alicxia, Gretto Yegg, the Narrow Space Mirror, and many others from the Outer World fought together. They paid many prices to oppose White Frost Plated and to journey into the cosmic.
Yet now.
Li Aozi raised his palm, and the White Obelisk quickly updated with this arcane energy. He summoned it without any hesitation.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—!
Azure electric arcs pierced the air, emanating a fishy smell.
"Electromagnetic force, the second in rank among the four fundamental forces, though slightly trailing Weak Force in the sequence, this is only because it requires a vast amount of knowledge to utilize effectively. In reality, whether it comes to destruction or versatility, electromagnetic force far surpasses the latter."
Utilizing this Arcane Energy had become exceedingly simple for him now.
It wasn't for any other reason. Now, he was also a [Mechanic]. The moment a player descended, he lacked no experience.
Li Aozi looked at the destroyed mecha in the distance, raised his hand, and flicked.
"Stand up and live for me once more."
Electric light shot out from his fingertips instantly, dancing incessantly among the mechanical wreckage, but that was merely the surface.
The moment he activated the Arcane Energy, an electromagnetic field with a radius of five hundred meters instantly expanded centered on him.
His body slowly floated upward, the powerful magnetic field distorted the Earth's magnetism, allowing him to overcome gravity and fly. A flood of computational formulas passed continuously through his mind, correcting standards bit by bit.
Ultimately, under his will's guidance, the destroyed metallic parts danced wildly, forming storms of metal that, amidst azure lightning and thunder, rearranged and reassembled into a new mecha troop.
Crack!
A lightning bolt struck from the sky, making the steel mecha soldiers suddenly tremble, their electronic eyes glowing red, and power reactors reigniting.
Li Aozi gently hooked his hand, the magnetic field directly covered the computer, instantly completing the programming of the underlying code.
When Caramel Snail and others reached him, what they saw was a mechanical undead army continuously reviving from metal debris, with the game system identifying them as 'friendly units.'
Though Caramel Snail didn't understand what was happening, he roughly knew that the person standing on the highest point of the ruins, proudly surveying the heroic figures, had a lot to do with all this.
Noticing Caramel Snail's team approaching, Li Aozi turned his head, smiled, and said:
"Sorry to keep you waiting, just solved a little hassle."
"You're amazing... destroying such a large city by yourself."
Caramel Snail marveled:
"Is this the high quality of a top streamer? Truly an expression beyond the version."
"Oh, it's not that exaggerated." Li Aozi deflected: "This was part of my side quest plot finale, coordinated with Rule Three operatives within the White Plum Army for a targeted detonation."
"That really is quite a cool task; when the instance is replicated, I'll be sure to grind it as well."
Caramel Snail stepped forward nervously, extending his hand. Facing such a top streamer with a million fans for the first time, he immediately exhibited his social anxiety:
"Hello, Invincible True True True General... I'm Caramel Snail. Very happy to meet you, you're also very funny, and your talents are quite great... I I I."
"Don't be nervous, I'm not live streaming."
Li Aozi smiled and shook hands with him:
"Besides, you're the world runner-up, the second-strongest man in this game, it should be me riding on your fame."
"No, no, it was all luck. Many opponents are stronger than me." Caramel Snail thought with trepidation: "Someone like Long Yuqiong, the gap between us is too great."
"There's no need to belittle yourself, let's be honest, you're a top figure under one and above ten thousand."
Li Aozi then made a few jokes, also poking fun at himself, quickly dissolving Caramel Snail's awkwardness.
"In any case, it's an honor to meet you, Invincible True General."
Caramel Snail said, introducing his teammates:
"This is Cumin Powder, a former XXG professional player, with the [Destroyer] Pathway-[Ranger]-[Artillerist] occupation, although the weapon is heavy, there's no need to worry about her maneuvering."
"[Artillerist] is known for heavy firepower but is actually not inferior in mobility; the better the shooter, the better their positioning, decisively using movement when needed."
