Chapter 91: Controlling Fear, Becoming Fear

~12 min read 2,213 words

MO controlled the angles of the four Split Wheels to form a combined attack, and the four Split Wheels whistled as they killed toward the Armor Leopard.

The difference between his Sky Dance Wheel and others' is that he can achieve precise control, allowing the Sky Dance Wheel to form the strongest lethality and making the trajectory impossible to predict.

In an instant, the four Split Wheels arrived from four directions; not only were the directions different, but the angles of the Split Wheels were also different—some vertical, some diagonal, some horizontal. All of this requires the pilot to control; without talent in this area, it is simply impossible to master. Some mechas just require talent; relying solely on practice is useless.

This move almost guaranteed a kill against ninety-nine percent of opponents.

The Armor Leopard did not make any movement; the two Cross Wheels were suddenly launched, and after high-speed flicking, they were instantly retracted, then directly blasted open the two Split Wheels that were close at hand.

The four Split Wheels were knocked away again, but the Armor Leopard still defended against it.

However, it was a heart-stopping defense; the speed was too fast, the angles were too tricky, and while there was still space for the first two, the latter two Split Wheels were already about to cut into the Armor Leopard.

This is a suffocating method of defense; as long as there is one small mistake, it is over.

This is also where the dominance of the Sky Dance Wheel lies. As long as MO continues to attack, the Armor Leopard will definitely show a flaw. In the Xuni Qu, there is no need to worry about physical stamina, and the Sky Dance Wheel is already in an invincible position.

The four Split Wheels spun in the air, while the energy release driven by the four corners strengthened the rotational force, supplementing the drop in rotational force during collisions; this is also the technical advantage of the NUP.

Zing, zing, zing...

The four Split Wheels blasted toward the Armor Leopard; one force overcomes ten techniques, kill, kill, kill!

MO's eyes were also spitting fire, applying powerful pressure!

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

High-pressure suppression; the four Split Wheels attacked continuously and were knocked away by the Armor Leopard, but under MO's control, they did not fly far away, but instead rotated at high speed, changed angles, and quickly killed back. The four Split Wheels formed an endless, high-frequency encirclement and slaughter!

——MO's Dance of the Demon Horde!

The remaining one percent of experts also died to this move, whether they were good at defense or good at technique.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Hum, hum, hum, hum...

The sound of breaking through the air on the battlefield became increasingly piercing; the sound of high-speed rotation presented an overclocked piercing effect that made the heart unable to bear it. Under this kind of pressure, there was not much time left for the Armor Leopard.

The two Cross Wheels could no longer be thrown out and could only defend in place, even using the Armor Leopard's Arm Blade for defense, but the rebounded Split Wheels would still kill their way back.

The high-frequency encirclement lasted for three minutes, making everyone watching heart-stopped, but... the Armor Leopard was actually still holding on...

This was already the longest defense time under the Dance of the Demon Horde.

The camera cut to MO. At this moment, MO revealed a crazy smile, "You thought it was over? How arrogant of you to dare to use a primitive Armor Leopard against my Sky Dance Wheel; I will let you experience the despair I prepared for you!"

At this moment, everyone clearly realized that MO and Puppet had a grudge, and it seemed quite deep; it seemed MO had been hurt quite deeply...

The four Split Wheels killing toward the Armor Leopard again suddenly collided; the large wheel hit the small wheel, and the small wheel instantly changed direction, disappearing from sight.

Finishing Move—Fuguanglueying Siwang Duiduipeng!

The failure from last year must all be returned now!

At this moment, MO's expression was completely unleashed, and his face revealed a joy that had been suppressed for a long time!

And almost at the same time, the Armor Leopard's Cross Wheels were launched, but it was already too late. Let alone the Armor Leopard, even a Heavy Armor mech could not resist such an attack.

Boom, boom...

A violent explosion suddenly occurred where the Armor Leopard was, and flames soared into the sky.

It's gone?!

Huonan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly waved his fist in a silent shout. Victory might be late, but it finally came, goddammit.

However, just as Huonan was about to deliver the ten-thousand-word acceptance speech he had prepared, two white lights darted out from within the flames, killing in a straight line toward the Sky Dance Wheel fighter.

Zing...

Only a concept mech like the Sky Dance Wheel fighter had a Laser Shield to deflect it. MO's reaction was super fast; his talent was just like that—any movement trajectory would be clearly captured.

The next second, the Laser Shield was torn apart like a piece of paper, and the two white lights tore the Sky Dance Wheel fighter apart in the blink of an eye.

Everyone just watched as the Sky Dance Wheel fighter was cut into three pieces, sparks flying everywhere, and two seconds later, it exploded into a pile of scrap metal.

The Xuni Qu was very quiet, and the EMP Hall of every major military academy was even more silent. Why?

How could the Sky Dance Wheel fighter, which was crushing in every aspect, just be gone?

The Armor Leopard only made one attack and directly killed the opponent; was it easier than slicing vegetables?

The next second, it was clamorous with voices, noisy discussions and arguments. This isn't right; how could the Armor Leopard's performance possibly block that???

What did it use to block?

Even if it blocked it, what on earth were those two beams of light???

That's a concept mech's Laser Shield; do you think it's made of paper?

The match ended, Puppet won. MO opened his mouth, but before he could speak... he was kicked.

The next second, MO's expression suddenly flushed red, his emotions were very agitated, and he seemed to want to say something but didn't, then he rolled his eyes and collapsed directly. The live broadcast room was in a state of chaos.

What... is this situation?

Everyone was a bit confused. Zhuang Zhou, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke up, "Dear viewers, everyone knows I have been following Puppet for a long time. When Puppet was still a player in the Xuni Qu, everyone might have guessed that MO did indeed face off against Puppet. At that time, MO wasn't famous either; his original ID was Zuijianglunzi Ge. There were only a dozen people watching that battle, and fortunately, I was one of them. Even now, I still have to say that compared to Puppet God's Sky Dance Wheel, he is still lacking quite a bit. He only changed his ID after losing to Puppet God. He might think he was the most special opponent Puppet God ever encountered, but in fact, he was just one of countless opponents. Deep down, he might... just want to get Puppet God's recognition."

MO is exactly the initials of Puppet, and he even specially used the Pinyin method of USE.

"The analysis video is out. Let's take a look at how the Armor Leopard, the weakest mech in history, defeated a concept mech like the Sky Dance Wheel fighter in both offense and defense," Zhuang Zhou said, and the big screen showed the highlights.

Facing the cutting of the Sky Dance Wheel, the Armor Leopard adopted a wheel-to-wheel defense, using the Cross Wheels to strike the opponent's Sky Dance Wheel, which achieved a very good effect. Because the opponent had two more wheels, it was too late to throw them when pressed, so it just resisted in place, knocking away the opponent's Sky Dance Wheel.

The front was almost suppressed the whole time, with almost no possibility of counterattack. The two Cross Wheels were exhausted from dealing with it, and the erratic Split Wheels also carried a soul-stirring whistling sound. Really, this would cause other fears for the opponent; this uncertainty would cause great pressure.

MO's operation had no problems; it could be said that he brought the functions of the Sky Dance Wheel to the extreme, and even the kinetic energy loss caused by collisions could be supplemented by operations during the rotation; the details were already maxed out.

The Dance of the Demon Horde was his signature killing move, but the Armor Leopard's defense was a bit... not like a Human's. It accurately grasped the attack trajectory of every wheel rotation to counterattack, and what was incredible was that the Armor Leopard could actually easily retrieve every Cross Wheel it threw out.

The final blow, the Siwang Duiduipeng, was MO's latest ultimate move. It was already fast and erratic in trajectory; after the large wheel assisted the small wheel, the small wheel suddenly accelerated, killing toward the Armor Leopard with an indescribable high-frequency oscillating rotation. Even in slow motion, this was an indescribably vibrating attack.

However, this kind of attack was blocked in place by the Armor Leopard using the Cross Wheels. The explosion happened because the two small Split Wheels shattered directly when they touched the Cross Wheels...

At this moment, everyone noticed that the Cross Wheels in the Armor Leopard's hands were rotating at an indescribable speed, like... light.

The next second, the Cross Wheel shot out; this rotating object actually struck in a straight line, carrying a piercing whistle, and it arrived in an instant. MO reacted fast enough, opening the Laser Shield in a split second...

The top right corner of the screen displayed the impact equivalent value, which instantly went off the charts. The Armor Leopard had executed a "Super God Strike," a term specifically referring to when a pilot makes an attack that exceeds the upper limit of the existing defense system.

Such attacks generally only appear during a flash of inspiration from some S-rank pilots, or through super accidental performances by some Concept Mech in the Xuni Qu.

Following the official video was a clip of Master Jiabo being interviewed after the Armor Leopard test failure, a video many viewers were very familiar with, and even one they had mocked.

"I do not believe my Cross Wheel is a failure. The philosophy of the Armor Leopard is to pursue ultimate attack; it belongs to the super mech category. The axial Cross Wheel is the inevitable result of pursuing extreme rotation and lethality. Other methods might improve stability, but without extreme rotation, there is no extreme lethality, and such a weapon would have no reason to exist."

"My mecha is human-oriented. I believe that humans themselves are the ultimate power. The axial Cross Wheel can obtain infinite energy during collisions, and my design is also that if the Cross Wheel can withstand it, it will eventually form an invincible lethality capable of tearing through everything. This requires the pilot to possess the ability to see through the rotation trajectory, and at the same time, the pilot must have super-strong power to assist the mecha in controlling the stability of the rotation. As long as that can be achieved, then I would rather call the Armor Leopard... the Tyrant, the most brutal ruler in the mecha world."

"How to master the Armor Leopard, how to master the Cross Wheel? Only by controlling fear can one become fear..."

And this final segment ultimately became a stain on Master Jiabo. Until his death, everyone felt this was the Master's final stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat. After all, some people are just too obsessed with fame, especially in his later years when Humans had already entered an era of NUP technological leadership. The Armor Series had become a symbol of backwardness, destined to be eliminated by history, and Earthlings began using "metaphysics" as an excuse for failure.

At this moment, the camera cut back to Puppet's Armor Leopard. In a continuous video montage, the Sky Dance Wheel requires balancing speed; too fast and it cannot be controlled, too slow and it needs replenishment. The core of four-corner drive is stability, but the Cross Wheel is not. Through constant collisions, the Cross Wheel in the Armor Leopard's hand is getting faster and faster. In every shot, in every freeze-frame, the speed is increasing without any sign of slowing down; it is clearly visible that the Armor Leopard is performing strong control.

This kind of high-frequency rotation cannot be stabilized by the system alone; the pilot must find balance and spirituality during operation, which is also what is often called the Spirit.

The two beams of light in the Armor Leopard's hands are the "fear" that Master Jiabo spoke of.

Many years after Master Jiabo passed away, the "fear" he spoke of finally arrived.

(Although I don't play him well, I really like Draven, as well as the Destructo Disc from Dragon Ball. Dear family, please support with a monthly ticket, thank you!)
