97: Chapter 97 The Shock of the Crowd

"Good stuff!"

He felt the incomparably heavy peerless great hammer in his hand, which felt as if it were connected to his own bloodline.

From Su Chen's deep and cold eyes, a physical burst of fanatical killing intent exploded!

This weapon was practically a ultimate killing machine tailor-made specifically to counter these thick-skinned heavy mechanical monsters!

"Now, it's my turn to teach you the rules, you big stupid dog."

Su Chen dragged the massive [God-Slaying Armor-Breaking Great Hammer] with one hand, his body in mid-air suddenly pulling back into an exaggerated arch like a full moon.

Then.

Under the dull, desperate, and terrified gazes of all the players.

Su Chen's legs kicked off the air violently, erupting in a massive circle of white sonic boom clouds!

Like a meteorite falling from the nine heavens, he carried an invincible and violent aura capable of destroying the world.

He leaped high, reaching directly above the majestic human head of the Mechanical Sphinx!

"Get..."

"Down on your knees!!!"

Su Chen roared, gripping the hammer handle with both hands, pouring all the strength, lightning, and the [Absolute Crush] attribute attached to the hammer into this single strike without reservation!

"BOOM—!!!"

The massive [God-Slaying Armor-Breaking Great Hammer], like a hammer of heavenly punishment, smashed ruthlessly onto the once-arrogant head of the Mechanical Sphinx!

There was no suspense, nor any room for resistance!

Before this silver grade-peak weapon with the "Absolute Crush" attribute,

that [Immortal Divine Gold] skull, which even missiles couldn't penetrate,

was like a fragile eggshell, instantly letting out a crisp cracking sound!

"Crack... Bang!!!"

Countless mechanical parts, high-level transistors flickering with electrical sparks, and viscous high-temperature engine oil

exploded violently from the top of the Mechanical Sphinx's head like a brilliant firework display!

That terrifying "energy shock" wave followed the smashed opening like a violent venomous snake, drilling directly into the body of this lower golden grade BOSS.

Within a tenth of a second, it forcibly paralyzed and destroyed the massive energy core hidden deep within its chest cavity!

"Ugh..."

The Mechanical Sphinx's massive body stiffened suddenly, and the light in its eyes, which had been flickering with destructive lasers, instantly dimmed and went out.

Accompanied by a dull, massive sound like a mountain collapsing,

this fifty-meter-tall invincible golden BOSS, which had just wiped out dozens of heavy armored trains from the Freedom Alliance,

on the White Jade Square ten thousand meters in the air, was killed in a single blow by that Huaxia man who looked like a God of War, collapsing into a massive, lifeless heap of steel ruins!

"Clang..."

Natasha, standing in the distance watching the battle,

stared with her ice-blue eyes at the slender figure standing with one foot on the broken head of the Mechanical Sphinx, a massive hammer resting on his shoulder, his eyes cold and disdainful of all things in the world.

The heavy Gatling gun in her hand, which she had always treated as her life, unconsciously slipped from her grasp and slammed heavily onto the ground.

At this moment,

this female overlord of the Winter Legion from Siberia, who worshipped the aesthetics of absolute violence and had a wild, unbridled personality,

not only was her proud heart completely shattered,

even in the depths of her ice-like soul, she uncontrollably skipped a whole beat.

"This Huaxia man..."

Natasha slightly parted her red lips, murmuring to herself,

"not only does he drive fast... even his fists are so hard they make one want to submit..."

...

"BOOM—!!!"

As the fifty-meter-tall lower golden grade BOSS Mechanical Sphinx completely collapsed, the entire White Jade Square ten thousand meters in the air trembled violently for a full ten-odd seconds.

Metallic dust and thick engine oil smoke filled the air, beginning to slowly dissipate in all directions under the blowing of the violent high-altitude winds.

That slender figure wearing a black tactical trench coat and holding the [God-Slaying Armor-Breaking Great Hammer] stood quietly atop the mountain-like pile of steel ruins, like an invincible God of War who had just stepped out of ancient mythology.

In his deep and cold eyes, there wasn't the slightest fatigue or excitement after killing a powerful enemy, only an absolute calm that had seen through all the vanities of the world.

Just then, a series of crisp and pleasant Heavenly Dao System notifications, like celestial music, exploded frantically in the depths of Su Chen's mind like a barrage of cannon fire!

[Ding! Server-wide Top Secret Announcement!]

[Congratulations to Train Master Su Chen of train no. 0099 for successfully completing the solo kill of the first-stage guardian beast of the top-tier global dungeon [Cloud Sea Mechanical Divine Realm] — [Mechanical Sphinx], with unrivaled absolute individual physical strength!]

[Ding! Detected that this BOSS is of the lower golden grade and is the first to be killed by a player in the entire server!]

[Congratulations to Su Chen for obtaining a massive first-kill reward: 500,000 survival points!]

[Congratulations to Su Chen for obtaining 10,000 exclusive Divine Realm Reputation Points!]

[Ding! You have successfully triggered the ultimate first-kill drop mechanism. Congratulations on obtaining the highest-level loot — [golden grade divine realm blind box] ×1!]

Listening to the seemingly endless broadcast of generous rewards in his head, a satisfied, cold arc finally curled at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.

Five hundred thousand survival points—this was a super fortune enough to drive ninety-nine percent of the players worldwide into complete madness.

With this massive amount of points, he could even directly upgrade all the conventional weapon defense lines on the abyss roarer by a whole major tier in the Heavenly Dao Mall.

But that wasn't what moved him the most.

Su Chen slowly raised his large, well-defined hand and gently made a grasping motion in the air.

"Buzz—"

Accompanied by a strange ripple of spatial fluctuations.

A cubic blind box, formed entirely of pure dark-gold light and engraved with countless complex and mysterious mechanical divine runes, hovered above his palm.

Just by quietly hovering there, the blind box emitted an aura of ancient laws that made the soul tremble.

"A golden grade blind box... this is the real good stuff in this dungeon."

Su Chen marveled in his heart, an undisguisable look of anticipation flashing in his deep eyes.

Previously, the highest-level blind box he had opened was only silver grade-peak, and the blueprint he got that time allowed him to successfully build the heaven-defying Fully Automated Military Industrial Factory.

Now, with this golden grade blind box representing the ceiling of the current era, what kind of world-shaking peerless treasure would be hidden inside?

Su Chen did not choose to open it publicly here. Instead, with a flick of his wrist, he neatly put the alluringly glowing blind box into his exclusive void storage space.

At this moment, in the safe zone a few hundred meters away from the ruins,

the elite Train Masters from major top-tier regions around the world were still frozen in place like a group of clay and wooden sculptures under a freezing spell.

The entire White Jade Square was deathly silent, with only the shrill whistling of the high-altitude winds passing through the mechanical wreckage.

In the eyes of everyone looking at Su Chen, there was no longer any trace of the previous arrogance and contempt.

Instead, there was an extreme awe, fear, and a deep sense of powerlessness, as if they were looking up at a god.

"He... he actually smashed that monster to pieces all by himself..."

At the back of the crowd, Major William, the supreme leader of the Freedom Alliance who had been so arrogant before, was now slumped on the cold white jade ground like a spineless mangy dog.

His originally handsome and arrogant white face was now distorted by extreme fear, as pale as a sheet of paper just pulled out of a morgue.

William's upper and lower teeth were chattering frantically, making a "clatter" sound, and the warm patch of urine in his crotch was still spreading, emitting an unpleasant stench.

"This isn't a player... this is absolutely not a power a human could possess!"

William screamed hysterically in his heart, his mental defenses already on the verge of complete collapse.

He remembered how not long ago at the bottom of the metal vines, he had used such vicious and contemptuous language to mock Su Chen through the public channel, even claiming he would make Su Chen crawl back into the mud.

At the thought of this, William wished he could immediately grow two more hands to ruthlessly slap his own trouble-making mouth.

"Don't make a sound... everyone shut your mouths, and keep your breathing light!"

William turned his head and stared fiercely at the remnants of the Freedom Alliance behind him, who were equally scared out of their wits, with a look that was almost a desperate plea.

"Don't attract the attention of that Huaxia god of death. If he finds me unpleasant to look at now, it would only take one hammer blow for all of us to turn into meat paste on this square!"

Not just William, but the old-school overlords from the European and African Regions all had the same thought.

The heavy tanks, missile trains, and even those rare high-level special abilities they were so proud of,

before the world-shaking [Combat Magic Modification] and [Absolute Crush] that Huaxia man had just displayed, were simply like ridiculous plastic toys in a kindergarten class.

Their only prayer now was that this Train Master no. 0099, who was like a demon god descended to earth, would ignore them as if they were a cloud of non-existent air.

However, in this silent crowd, there was one person who made a completely different move.

That was the supreme legion commander of the world's second-ranked Winter Legion—Natasha.

This Russian beauty with a tall, proud 1.8-meter figure and a personality as wild and unbridled as a Siberian blizzard, took a deep breath of the cold, pure air ten thousand meters up.

In her bloodshot ice-blue eyes, there was no shrinking or fear like the others.

Instead, there burned a fanatical light of willing worship for an absolute powerhouse, like a moth to a flame!

"Only such a man is worthy of the true throne in this wasteland."

Natasha murmured softly in her heart, her heartbeat so fast it felt like it would burst through her full and high chest.
