Prologue – Machina Frame
“Qie, you piece of shit, I needed a magic treasure—that can wipe their faces off this earth, and you ended up sending me a worthless MAU?!”
(Get in the damn Machina Frame, it’s more than enough to wipe their faces off this earth!)
Saying this, the Tai Xuan Emperor has her vessel land beside Long Hua.
With connections having been preestablished, the Tai Xuan Emperor controls the Machina Frame—having it shine down a beam of light, that teleports Long Hua and her vessel into its cockpit.
“What the hell is all this?”
Looking around the cockpit, Long Hua has a perfect 360-degree visual of the outside from top-to-bottom, front-to-back, and side-to-side.
In front of Long Hua is the control console. The bottom of this console has two joystick-like pedals—the sort that can be seen on a game controller, while its upper portion consists of two similarly designed levers with numerous buttons occupying their tips.
Behind Long Hua’s seat is another control console—that is occupied by the Tai Xuan Emperor’s vessel. Much of this console consists of keyboards instead of levers and pedals.
(The upper levers are used to move the frame’s arms. Those buttons on the levers are mainly for manipulating its fingers. Lower pedals are used to control its legs. Weapon systems and everything else will be handled by your doll that is seated behind you.)
Just as the Tai Xuan Emperor finishes explaining this, Shao Tianming and Ye Chen remarks—
“A giant robot, is this a joke?”
“Since when the hell did Immortal have MAUs?”
Despite their state of confusion, they nevertheless charge forth with their Relics in hand.
Towards Shao Tianming and Ye Chen’s remark, Long Hua wished that he had a comeback.
Their situation is similar to three martial artists of the highest skill level attempting to see which of them is the strongest, however, one of these martial artists—during their fight, decided that times have changed, and one’s martial prowess alone isn’t enough anymore; hence, they decided to call down a mechanized weapon of war.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
(Hurry up, and put your hands and feet on the controls!)
Just as Shao Tianming and Ye Chen appear by the Machina Frame’s feet with their weapon lashed outwards to sever its joints—
*Clack! Clack! Clack!* moving the fingers of her vessel across the keyboard, the Tai Xuan Emperor conjures an energy shield to block off the two’s attack.
In the same instance, Long Hua—who has decided to go with the flow of the situation, wraps his hands around the control levers, while pushing the pedals below his seat forward.
Immediately, the Machina Frame straightens its legs, and clenches a fist to strike at Shao Tianming.
Raising his halberd over his head—
*Boom!!!* Shao Tianming manages to block the attack, but the weight behind the Machina Frame’s strike is still a bit much for him to handle alone, as his legs tremble on the verge of giving way.
Moving in from Shao Tianming’s side, Ye Chen swings his greatsword upwards, and—
*Boom!* this strike from Ye Chen—that is reinforced through gravity manipulation, manages to lighten the burden on Shao Tianming, allowing them both to escape from underneath the Machina Frame’s fist.
(Any divine arts—you know, can be amplified through the Machina Frame, so use them!)
“How?”
(Just rotate them, and have the frame move like a person would when executing them! The rest will be taken care of by your doll!)
Rotating the Immortal Suppression Palm, Long Hua pushes the lever that controls the Machina Frame’s right hand, and with it—
“Uh?!”
“The hell?!”
A colossal dark handprint is shot from the Machina Frame’s hand, and blasts towards Shao Tianming and Ye Chen—while leaving a trail of destruction behind in its traversal!
*Boom!!!* Receiving the full brunt of the dark handprint, Shao Tianming and Ye Chen’s bodies tremble violently—for the impact of this dark handprint is comparable to being hit by a small mountain!
Just as it would seem like the two won’t be able to do anything but to get crushed by the dark handprint—
“Endure!”
The figure of Wang Yongning—in his Partial-Apotheosized state, comes up from behind them.
Together, the three of them managed to puncture a hole through the dark handprint—allowing them to escape from the fate of being crushed into mincemeat.
(Press the buttons at the top of the levers, that will fire off the Slashers!)
Upon Long Hua pressing the top buttons of both levers, the fingers of the Machina Frame shoot outward.
“…”
Licking his lips beneath the helmet, Long Hua imbues these Slashers with his sword Qi, and towards this, the three sinners—
“Not good…!”
“Get down…!”
“…!”
Realizing what is to come, the three Partial-Apotheosized Sinners can’t help but turn pale beneath their helmets.
With detailed adjustments done by the Tai Xuan Emperor through her vessel, Long Hua has the Machina Frame rotate its body, and with it—
*…!!!* a blast of wind howls, as the ten Slashers cleaves everything in their path into pieces!
Straightening the Machina Frame’s back, and retracting the Slashers—
“…”
Seeing the entirety of his surroundings nearly leveled out—with diced-up portions of numerous buildings littering the streets, Long Hua blinks his eyes.
Heaving a light breath, Long Hua remarks—
“So, this is the feeling of being a filthy pay-to-win player?”
(How does it feel, *-laoban?)
“…”
As much as Long Hua hates to admit to it, it feels surprisingly good.
