"Guild Leader."
Hearing the words of the High-Level Mechanical Star Envoy from the Iron Dome Family, a Star Envoy from the Steam Guild frowned and turned to the Guild Leader Liam, asking for his opinion in a hushed tone.
Liam furrowed his brow for a moment, then, with a ripple of pale purple Star Energy, he slowly walked up to the mechanical envoy.
"My people are still inside. You can go in after they come out."
While the mechanical automatons of the Machina line were generally unsentimental, they were very good at sizing up a situation and knowing their place.
Facing a Calamity-level powerhouse—even if he was just a lower-tier one—the high-level mechanical Star Envoy, Ivan, gave him due respect.
"Very well."
Upon receiving this answer, Liam immediately took out his data terminal, which was embossed with dark golden patterns.
This type of data terminal, exclusive to Calamity-level powerhouses, immediately demonstrated its powerful information transmission capabilities.
In an extremely short amount of time, it passed through the "data firewall" unique to the Steam Forge, transmitting Liam's command to every Star Envoy from the Steam Guild within the Quantum Space.
"All units, attention. Evacuate immediately. I repeat, all units..."
"Yae Zai! The Guild Leader has ordered a full retreat!"
Seeing Yae Zai still excitedly clashing with Chen Xing, the Captain of the Second Squad immediately urged him to retreat.
However, Yae Zai, who was completely absorbed in the fight, paid them no mind.
As he furiously swung his blade at Chen Xing, he yelled back without turning around, "You guys go! I'm not going!"
Upon hearing this, the captains of the Second and Third Squads both grimaced.
Damn it, this lunatic is acting up again!
They wanted to forcibly drag Yae Zai out, but the strongest among the three of them just so happened to be this madman.
So, without Guild Leader Liam to personally restrain him, they truly had no way of dealing with this lunatic.
Just as Yae Zai thought Chen Xing would also fight to the death, Chen Xing's Demonic Blade suddenly paused, then shifted from its purely murderous style and began to use the ability of 'Flame'.
Boom!
Amid a burst of scarlet flames that bloomed like a lotus, Yae Zai was momentarily forced back by the scorching heat.
Looking at Yae Zai, who was separated by a wall of fire, Chen Xing said calmly, "While I enjoyed our little game, my mission here is over."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll play with you properly."
With that, Chen Xing turned around, and a Quantum Rift tore open in front of her, revealing the outline of the brass-colored tower outside.
Seeing Chen Xing about to leave after seemingly receiving a message, the lunatic Yae Zai was not happy.
"You're not allowed to leave!"
He roared and hurled the broken blade in his hand, trying to stop Chen Xing from leaving.
But just as the broken blade was about to hit her, a withered hand suddenly reached out from the rift and casually grabbed the incoming blade.
With a crisp 'crack', the broken blade that had been evenly matched with Chen Xing's Demonic Blade shattered into countless metal fragments under the light grip of the old hand.
However, what was even more shocking than that was the arm itself and the scorching light that streamed into the Quantum Space with it.
The light only remained in the Quantum Space for a moment, but it was enough to cause the surrounding environment to distort as if it were being branded with a hot iron.
Clearly, the Quantum Space they were currently in couldn't withstand the terrifying power contained within this scorching light.
"Butler Fox."
Chen Xing stood at the edge of the Quantum Rift and spoke with a rare hint of softness in her voice to the butler-like old man outside.
"I told you, you didn't need to come for me."
Fox smiled and replied, "Miss, I know you won't be in any danger, but it is my duty to protect you."
"Besides, now that things have come to this, I assume you've had enough fun, haven't you?"
Chen Xing nodded, then took the pale golden robe that Fox handed her from outside and draped it over her shoulders.
Finally, she turned to look at the displeased Yae Zai in the distance and said coolly, "Yae Zai, if you want to experience the true joy of combat, you can find me at the Sun Family stronghold in Capital City of Brawlers."
With that, Chen Xing stepped into the Quantum Rift and vanished.
After seeing Chen Xing's complete departure, Yae Zai's expression flickered for a moment before he spat on the ground in annoyance.
"Tch, boring."
Without a word to his two companions, Yae Zai activated the Quantum Beacon on his body and teleported out of the Quantum Space.
Following a series of flashes from the Quantum Beacons, one after another of the Steam Guild's Star Envoys were teleported out.
"Kong!"
Yu chen felt the movement from his own Quantum Beacon and immediately yelled anxiously at Chen Kong, who was holding Vivian with both arms.
The Quantum Beacon was given to them by the Captain of the Second Squad.
Under special circumstances, the captain had the ability to remotely activate the teleportation device on the beacon, that is, if Yu chen hadn't already crushed his.
However, Vivian was finally showing signs of improvement under their combined efforts.
Once Yu chen left, Chen Kong alone would definitely not be able to keep Vivian under control.
But the activation of the Quantum Beacon didn't depend on Yu chen's will.
Even though he wanted to stay, the pulling force from the beacon still forcibly sent him away.
After the flash of light faded, only Chen Kong and Vivian were left in the Quantum Space.
Looking at the Minute Hand Rapier on Vivian's left wrist and the spreading silver-white mechanical patterns on her neck, Chen Kong's still-swollen face showed a hint of bitterness.
Without Yu chen's help, his small amount of Star Energy would be nowhere near enough to hold her.
Just as he expected, the moment Yu chen left, Vivian, now controlled by her mechanical personality, slammed her shoulder into him.
The sudden, immense force instantly sent the exhausted Chen Kong flying backward.
Before Chen Kong could get up, a cold gleam followed, aimed directly at his throat!
However, the anticipated pain didn't arrive.
Chen Kong opened his eyes to see Tendo standing in front of him, casually grabbing the fatal blade with a single hand.
"Vivian, being a slave to power is not a good thing."
Tendo's tone was calm, but his gaze was locked on the space behind Vivian.
A ripple appeared in the Quantum Space, and the outline of a pale gold mech was slowly becoming clearer.
"New target confirmed: Tendo, Lord of Fate."
The electronic eyes of the High-Level Mechanical Star Envoy from the Iron Dome Family glowed red, and a cold, synthetic voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Mission priority change: abandon elimination, capture Tendo, Lord of Fate."
Hearing this, Tendo casually slapped the back of Vivian's neck, causing her to go limp in Chen Kong's arms.
He then looked at the emotionless automaton in front of him, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
"If you couldn't do it six years ago, you won't be able to do it six years later."
Seeing Tendo confronting the high-level mechanical envoy on the screen, the viewers in the Dimensional Theater instinctively recalled the scene from the end of the first season, where Tendo fought another high-level mechanical envoy from the Iron Dome Family.
'Here we go, Tendo Bro is about to show off again!'
'This metal guy has such a strong presence, is he the final boss?'
'High-level alert incoming!'
