151: Four lords besieged
Blackbeard on the whale breaker was first stunned when he saw the infinite’s Transformation, then let out a more maniacal laugh.
“Hahaha, so you were holding back a move. So what if you turn into a robot? Getting bigger just makes you a bigger target, doesn't it? Blast him!”
He didn't think an Elite Rank Mechanical Demonic Beast could block his Lord-level bombardment just by transforming.
Two beams of energy light arrived instantly.
Bai Ye sat in the cockpit, injecting all the solar energy within him into the infinite’s Energy Core without reservation.
“Energy Shield, maximum power!”
Blue light flared intensely in the infinite’s mechanical eyes, and energy fluctuations far exceeding the Elite Rank erupted from its body.
[Recommendation: Activate Overclocked State. Do you wish to proceed!]
“Activate it!”
In this state, the infinite could theoretically exchange blows briefly with a Lord Intermediate Grade opponent.
A translucent hexagonal Energy Shield generated on the infinite’s two arms, firmly protecting the entire machine.
“Boom!!!”
The two beams of energy light solidly slammed onto the shield, and rampant energy swept in all directions.
The sea surface violently churned up monstrous waves.
The Energy Shield, which did not look particularly thick, cracked in a few places, but fortunately, it managed to block all the attacks.
“It blocked it?”
On the whale breaker, the ferocious grin on Blackbeard's face froze.
A Lord Rank Main Cannon attack blocked by an Elite Rank Train Hero?
“Captain, the opponent's Energy Shield strength is also Initial Lord Rank. Our cannons can't break through.”
The Crew Member responsible for monitoring reported diligently.
“How could a lousy train have a shield of this strength? Those guys at the Railway Bureau couldn't possibly manufacture a Train Hero like this!”
Blackbeard roared and slapped the reporting Crew Member flying.
If the Energy Shield alone could stop an Initial Lord Rank Energy Cannon, this Train Hero was definitely extremely close to the Lord-level, even if it hadn't reached it yet.
But he was certain that the Train Hero's strength was not even Elite Advanced before the Transformation.
“Switch the cockpit to Transparent Mode. I need to replenish some energy.”
“Command confirmed.”
The dome of the cockpit quickly faded in color, eventually becoming completely transparent.
Warm sunlight shone upon Bai Ye, and the Photosynthesis Talent began operating, rapidly replenishing the energy just consumed.
“So that's it. You barely blocked the attack by relying on the Energy Amplification of a Special Cockpit?”
Blackbeard raised an eyebrow. Seeing this scene, he thought he had seen through Bai Ye's secret, and the shock on his face turned into a sinister sneer.
“Heh, how long can the energy from a mere cockpit last!”
“My little ones, come out, all of you!”
Blackbeard roared, and the seawater on the infinite’s right side suddenly spun wildly, forming a massive vortex.
From the eye of the vortex, a Giant Snake covered entirely in black scales emerged, stirring up waves, its crimson tongue flicking erratically.
The sea surface beneath the infinite turned pitch black, and the shadow rapidly expanded.
Tentacles thicker than a person's waist suddenly burst from the water, wrapping around the infinite’s mechanical legs, followed closely by a massive, one-eyed head surfacing.
Right behind the whale breaker, something resembling a reef rose from beneath the sea surface, water cascading down from its stone crevices.
The “reef” actually stood up. It was clearly a Living Coral Giant composed of coral and rock, nearly thirty meters tall.
It hovered steadily above the sea surface.
A black shadow, fast as lightning, shot out from Blackbeard's beast taming space, leaving a straight white wake on the sea surface.
With a sudden tail flick, a ferocious Shark Behemoth leaped out of the water.
It stared greedily at Bai Ye in the cockpit.
Four colossal beings, emitting Lord-level aura, surrounded the infinite from four directions, blocking all paths of retreat.
“Blackbeard, that trash, actually has four Lord-level Magical Beasts!”
“After all, he is a Fifth-Tier Beast Tamer. He's the kind of Beast Tamer who simultaneously raises all his Demonic Beasts.”
“No matter how strong the robot is, it can't fight four Lords at once, right?”
“That's too much bullying! A Fifth-Tier fighting a Second-Tier and calling out four Lord-levels for a group beatdown!”
Song San stood on the deep sea, looking at the four Demonic Beasts radiating Lord aura, feeling his legs go a little weak.
Seriously, if you have four Lord-levels, why are you still loitering around the Silent Windless Zone?
Go to the Storm Sea Eye, you bastard!
Bai Ye controlled the infinite, raising its left arm. A black Palm Muzzle opened in the palm, aimed at the largest Living Coral Giant.
“You'll be the first!”
The Coral Giant was very disdainful of the Train Hero.
It raised its thick arm, made of rock, and extended a rugged index finger, pointing toward the infinite from afar.
Its massive head tilted to one side, looking at its companions, emitting a low rumble from the rock crevices.
It scoffed that dealing with a mere Elite Rank opponent required all four Lord-level Magical Beasts to be deployed simultaneously.
The Living Coral Giant gathered a massive amount of seawater around its body, forming an incredibly thick Water Flow Shield.
The countless corals on its body emitted various colors of light.
Outside the water shield, it added a layer of solid Rock Armor.
Water-Rock Twin Walls, an extremely powerful Combination Skill focused on defense.
“You dare to laugh?”
Inside the cockpit, Bai Ye analyzed the opponent's defensive structure using the infinite’s Scanning System.
“Energy Cannon, Triple Shot!”
Bai Ye frantically poured his energy into the infinite’s body, keeping within the range the infinite could withstand.
This method of directly inputting energy into the infinite was the most suitable.
There was no need to worry about overly damaging the machine; the energy would simply be fired out.
It might just be a little wasteful.
Three silver-white beams of energy light shot out consecutively from the infinite’s Palm Muzzle, hitting the Water-Rock Twin Walls at the exact same spot.
The thick Rock Armor was blasted to pieces, scattering debris.
The second Energy Cannon shot tore through the rapid Water Flow Shield, evaporating it into steam filling the sky.
The final shot solidly slammed into its chest, which was composed of coral.
“Boom!”
A gaping hole was forcibly blasted into the Living Coral Giant's chest.
Shattered coral tissue mixed with seawater scattered everywhere.
Fortunately, its composition was mainly coral and rock, so although it sustained minor injuries, the problem wasn't too severe.
“How could this be?!”
Blackbeard frowned.
His Living Coral Giant specialized in defense; even attacks from creatures of the same rank found it difficult to inflict effective damage on it.
The opponent actually crippled it with just three shots?
He had to admit, he was now eyeing the cockpit on the Train Hero greedily.
If he could install this cockpit on his ship, wouldn't there be a chance to turn the whale breaker into a Demonic Beast too?
He had to get it! He absolutely had to get it!
“Don't just stand there, attack together! Use the Four Beast Tactic!”
Blackbeard snapped out of his delusion and issued commands to his three other beast pets.
Fighting one-on-one might injure his Demonic Beasts; they had to gang up.
But he was a pirate! He felt absolutely no moral burden fighting four-on-one.
