Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Arrogant Enemies

"Bang."

Accompanied by the flash of fire, a autonomous defense robot was instantly destroyed, and the sizzling current emitted a puff of black smoke.

As the base of Anti-Entropy, it is naturally impossible for only the Titan troops to defend.

After all, although the Titan is very powerful, it is too large and not suitable for activities in a small space.

On the other hand, funds are also a problem.

Something like the Titan which costs hundreds of millions to manufacture, are more similar to the super-high-tech weapons in the hands of major countries.

Every time this weapon is used, it is basically burning money.

Although Anti-Entropy, which controls North America, is not poor, it is not to the point of squandering money.

In order to fill the gap in basic operations and reduce costs, Anti-Entropy has developed these small and flexible autonomous combat machine robots.

After being equipped with conventional weapons, they can be used to deal with more common enemies.

However...

Among the two invaders, Mei has nothing to say. Although her family swordsmanship is very sharp, it is useless against firearms.

But Kiana is different.

With superior physical fitness and fighting instincts, plus the gunfighting skills that have been passed down for hundreds of years in the Kaslana family and taught by Siegfried himself, She is definitely not an ordinary person.

For the siege of these autonomous machines, she only needs to follow her intuition to dodge the necessary bullets, and then she can accurately shoot these autonomous machines with the Artemis' Guardian, which has the power comparable to a sniper rifle.

"Hehe, that's all."

With the last bullet destroying the autonomous machine that tried to attack stealthy, Kiana's face was full of confidence as she looked down on these autonomous machines.

But the next moment, she threw away her confidence and turned her head with expectation.

"How is it, Mei? Am I good?"

It is certainly gratifying to clear out the enemies that are in the way, but for Kiana, she wants to hear Mei's praise.

"Hmm..."

Mei also saw Kiana's little thoughts and nodded.

Of course, this is not to cater to her.

For the skills that Kiana just showed, she really admired and envied her.

It is certainly a good feeling to win without doing anything,

But for Mei, she just stood aside and was protected by others without being able to intervene.

This feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable...

Although her IQ is often offline, compared with her IQ, Kiana's EQ is still above the passing line.

"Mei, let's go!"

When she noticed Mei's forced smile, Kiana took the initiative to change the subject.

"Hmm..."

She buried the feeling of powerlessness deep in her heart and nodded when she recalled the main purpose of this trip.

The elevator to the underground base was within reach.

But...

The elevator display showed that it was rising.

Looking at that simple number,

Mei suddenly felt panic for no reason.

She didn't even understand why she felt this sudden feeling.

But the very intuitive Kiana also felt the same as Mei. She stared at the closed elevator door solemnly.

"Ding."

The elevator arrived and then slowly opened.

The two people's sight bumped into the leisurely, hooded, blue-haired man in the elevator.

"Oh?"

Seeing the two figures, Welt(Clone)'s frivolous expression revealed a hint of happiness, just like a hunter finding his prey.

"Are you waiting for me at the door?"

He was very satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad. I thought it would take some time to catch you."

From the moment this man appeared, the atmosphere in the air became extremely heavy.

The pressure was like a mountain pressing them, making Mei unable to speak, and her lowered fingertips trembled uncontrollably because of the fear in her heart.

Danger... Extremely dangerous!

The biological instinct to avoid harm made Mei realize that the man in front of her, with his very annoying temperament, was the most terrifying enemy she had ever seen so far.

If they confronted each other head-on...

Would she die? She would definitely die!

Mei had no doubts about this suspicion.

Suddenly...

A warmth came from between her fingers.

Mei paused and looked down.

It was Kiana holding her hand.

She raised her head and met Kiana's blue eyes.

The emotion in them was encouragement and comfort.

It was like saying, "I will protect you," the same.

Instantly, Mei felt an emotion different from negative emotions such as fear, panic, and uneasiness in her heart.

This was courage!

The fear in her heart was dispelled by this sudden courage, and her trembling fingertips calmed down.

"Hey, who allowed you to do so many little movements in front of me?"

As the voice sounded, a terrifying gravity acted on the two of them.

This sudden change made Mei lie on the ground.

Kiana was better, because she reacted in time and had a strong tolerance, only kneeling on one knee.

This made Welt(Clone) frown and feel unhappy.

Feeling that he was disobeyed, Welt(Clone) was upset and instantly controlled the gravity, arranging a stronger attack for Kiana that was more powerful than Mei's.

"Bang."

Without a doubt, the gravity of more than ten tons instantly pressed Kiana to the ground.

Only after seeing this did Welt(Clone) show a satisfied expression. His irritable mood also calmed down.

With a condescending attitude, he glanced at the two people who were lying on the ground with difficulty.

In a disgusting tone, he said frivolously and playfully. "Okay, let me guess which one is my kind."

As he said this, he glanced at Kiana and Mei, and finally stopped his gaze on Mei.

"Oh... It's you."

"It's really a surprisingly weak..."

He spat out the words full of contempt.

Welt(Clone)'s somewhat twisted face appeared a little dissatisfied.

"I thought there would be something remarkable"

"Forget it, I don't have any expectations for you anyway."

Listening to these words full of contempt and ridicule, Mei felt it was ridiculous.

Feeling her body weighing as much as a thousand pounds and unable to move, the previous feeling of powerlessness reappeared.

Courage…

What's the point in this sheer power disparity?

Mei was helpless about what was happening in front of her, she hated herself for being so weak.

Why?

I have nothing...

"Click"

The sound of bones rubbing against each other rang in her ears, causing Mei to look at the source of the sound.

It was Kiana who was also crushed.

At this moment, she was struggling to stand up tremblingly with great difficulty. This move is undoubtedly a struggle against the gravity exerted on the body.

"You can still struggle under my gravity field that is dozens of times stronger than mine? Interesting."

This time, Welt(Clone) did not increase the gravity to crush Kiana like before, but showed a little teasing at the same time.

Originally, he was going to see the quality of Mei as the third Herrscher.

But Mei's powerless appearance without any struggle really made him lose interest.

But this girl who accompanied her who possessed a disgusting tenacity like a bug really made him want to crush it!

"As a reward, and also to kill time, I will play with you!"
