Chapter 1000 - 45: "Where He Advances, the Battlefield Collapses Behind Him
Wireless communications were indeed disrupted, because at this moment, the air around the battlefield was filled with high-energy particles and charged particles, making any electromagnetic wave-based communication methods unusable.
But Latovia didn’t rely solely on electromagnetic wave communication methods:
Cross-dimensional communication directly transmits signals from outside the Universe to devices, which means that those methods used to drive factories and unite production can also be used for joint operations!
Lille’s enormous body moved with such force that it could easily deform the metallic floor with each step, and with every deformation, his giant frame would traverse through this Mechanical Nest City at terrifying speed!
Even the Iron Riders piloting Titans feel fear when witnessing Lille in combat:
The ark reactor at full power output transfers kinetic energy entirely into the covering power armor, allowing its legs to exert force able to deform metallic ground with ease, and concrete shatters instantaneously!
With the addition of the plasma thruster group on his back, Lille can accelerate from a stationary position to subsonic speeds in mere seconds, and the kinetic energy from a simple collision would rival the explosion of 30 kilograms of TNT—
And this is the simplest, most basic collision!
The Ultron robots on the path were shattered into pieces, and the sturdy outer walls of the Ultron data nodes were instantly breached—
Boom!
A huge explosion, Lille directly stormed into a data center, awakening countless Ultron robots in the hibernation pods, among which was even an assembly-like all-terrain autopropelled artillery tower, almost as tall as a Titan but with much larger size, packed full of high-powered long-range kill missiles...
The assault was correct.
As Lille thought this, he raised his left hand where a dual 120mm autocannon was mounted—
Boom boom boom boom boom—
The autocannon tore through the air, each design precisely targeting and hitting its intended mark, piercing their heads, chests, breaking them in half, burning broken skulls in the darkness!
Hooosh—Boom!
Miniature precision missiles launched from Lille’s rear ammunition storage, the explosive flames illuminating the entire factory!
The army of such scale was instantly halved, and the remaining Ultron robots fired simultaneously; various weapons poured down like a storm, even the Titans behind shuddered:
Because Lille never chose to evade, didn’t even seek cover, he just charged towards the enemy with heavy, determined steps under the force of the thrusters!
But in reality, if the Iron Riders and Titans possessed extraordinary observational and computational abilities and could exclude all artillery interference to observe Lille’s movements and the changes to his armor, they’d realize Lille was not avoiding hits; rather, his evasion tended more towards using armor mobility to deflect shells and explosions—
If an explosive bomb were to hit his shoulder armor, his body would dip before the hit, and his shoulder armor would make slight adjustments to prevent direct impact. Such details are unobservable; the Iron Riders see explosions spreading across his shoulder armor, but Lille just keeps advancing...
Not a single movement will interfere with his offensive; every step, every charge, every shot, and every strike is efficient death!
Even Ultron finds it incredible watching this scene.
"You... think you’re the immortal body?! I am—We are endless!"
The factory emitted metallic roars, numerous Ultron robots meant only for production, rushed forward like zombies trying to block Lille’s movements—
"That’s great... that means my ammunition is endless as well—"
The Leader’s Blade swept across, slicing through a series of charging foot soldiers; Lille’s gaze opened from scanning the target and his Octopus Arms precisely reached through the breached line, grabbing airborne targets, instantly extracting heavy artillery ammo and missiles!
Spark source energy coursed through Lille’s body, his internal ammo feed structure immediately fine-tuned, these munitions fired towards the Ultron robots in the sky in the next second!
In an instant, the entire data center only had the sound of pattering machine soldiers left; though in numbers they far exceeded Lille, he never stopped his stride!
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Clearing a massive blockade of machine soldiers, destroying automated gun turrets one after another, heavy footsteps closing in on the core of the data center, following giant liquid coolers and thick communication cables, marching straight to the data node!
In the midst of Ultron’s powerless roar, Lille leaped high, the ground deformed under his feet, drawing a violent arc in the air—
The Leader’s Blade plunged fiercely into the data center!
The operating factory instantly halted activities, symbolizing all control indicators of Ultron extinguished!
[Ultron: You are the strongest human I’ve ever seen... Lille, I’ll remember your name as the most outstanding individual among humans, etched into the database. Perhaps many years later, when I grant the Universe permanent peace, I’ll think of you, such a stubborn element...]
[Ultron: But this is just a node; you will never win...]
Boom!
From storming into the data node center to violently leaping out from the explosion, it only took a few minutes.
Without pause, his enormous frame charged towards the next target...
Iron Riders witnessing the battle felt endlessly shocked in their hearts:
Their King possesses technology, wisdom, will, decisiveness among other powerful traits, willingly offering their martial strength.
They never thought that even in combat ability... His Majesty is the most valiant.
The Iron Riders will record in their combat logs:
"He advanced, and the battlefield crumbled behind him."
...
As Lille effortlessly extracted the ammunition and weapons from machine soldiers, then hurled them back at himself, Ultron felt fear—
True fear.
In the network, Lille possessed technologies he couldn’t understand; in reality, he also exhibited incomprehensible...
Assimilation ability.
Yes, in Ultron’s eyes, Lille exhibited an incomprehensible assimilation ability; his internal body seemed alive, the small body could freely engulf resources based on battlefield conditions...
Machines are indeed easily adjusted, but that is relative to the human body; Lille’s ability to pick up weapons and then reflect back made it seem like a person cutting off another’s hand and attaching it to themselves.
How could this not be terrifying?
Let alone Lille’s small body, not only showcased top-tier Fire Control Ability during combat, but also showed terrifying motion system coordination abilities and nearly instinctual top combat instincts...
AI requires computational power to achieve all this, based on the computer’s performance, significantly larger computational power correlates with a larger computer, hence Ultron machine soldiers, when entering individual combat mode, are akin to idiots, showing pronounced weakness in tactics compared to human soldiers.
Yet how does Lille accomplish all this? His matching computational power does not conform to Ultron’s estimation, exceeding this size substantially!
Ultron had to face this fact:
In terms of individual performance, Lille surpasses it by far...
He completely lost to a human!
[Ultron: Damn, damn, damn!]
[Ultron: At this point, I can only mobilize North Africa resources to prioritize extinguishing this lunatic’s assault...]
The Middle East was only the second area Ultron occupied; North Africa was where he started.
It’s just that North Africa had always been suppressing the remaining military forces of the African Union and Atlas Group; mobilizing them would leave a void...
But now there’s no time to think—
A flight-specialized robot subtly departed from the battlefield’s hail of bullets and headed towards Africa.
What’s frightening about that group of Africans over there? Maybe after slaughtering all Latovia’s soldiers, they wouldn’t even notice anything amiss, and even if they did, they might not have the courage to attack.
