This Is Really Not Mechanical Ascension Chapter 1086

[ … words ]

“I knew it, people like us, everything we say is not to be trusted.”

“Sigh, I shouldn’t have had any hope.”

“Why on earth did those Empire dogs capture us? We’re just scavengers, not wanted criminals. Is picking up garbage illegal?”

“My brother will really come to rescue me. I’ve already asked him for help three times; he surely believes me,” Zorro forced himself to sit up, explaining.

Asking for help three times? Surely believes you? The crowd was too exhausted to even sneer.

“What’s your brother’s power?” asked a nearby Goblin with a harsh tone.

“A Level…” Zorro managed to speak, gasping heavily.

“You gotta be kidding, what’s an A Level worth? This is an entire fleet of the roaming legion, and they have seven A Level life forms!”

“Don’t worry, my brother can’t do it, but his leader is powerful…” Zorro did not pause this time, continuing, “More precisely, his leader’s leader is very powerful.”

Silence fell all around until a sudden cold laugh broke out, “How powerful is that?”

“Well…” Zorro hesitated, “I can’t really say now, but they’re really powerful.”

This response immediately drew a burst of ridicule, “If they’re so powerful, why would your brother’s leader’s leader come to rescue you? You’re just a B level life form, what value do you have?”

“Just because your brother hangs out with his underling, he’d offend the Empire for you?”

“Forget it if you don’t believe.”

Zorro felt uncomfortable and was too lazy to say more.

Suddenly, rainbow-colored noise exploded on his retina, and countless jailbreak plans of questionable authenticity roared simultaneously in his mind.

He saw himself cut into pieces by a laser seven days later.

Then saw the scene of successfully breaking out of the prison ship, escaping again, and then being captured back.

Every possibility held the same intense sense of reality, as if it were destined to happen in the future.

A torrent of information intertwined in his mind, making him feel like his head was about to explode.

Everything in front of him blurred, and the surrounding voices gradually faded.

“What’s happening to this guy?”

Everyone exchanged glances, watching Zorro lying on the ground, nose and mouth bleeding, barely breathing.

“This… didn’t die from shame, did he…”

“Were our words too harsh just now? He was quite impressive, managing to escape three times…”

Everyone murmured. Just then, the hull suddenly shook, followed by a roar, making everyone stagger.

Some people were jolted against the railing, triggering electric arcs, painfully groaning.

“What’s happening? Has something changed?” Everyone looked around in doubt and then glanced at Zorro, unsure of what was going on.

“Could it be…”

In the flagship of the fleet, several commanders looked solemnly at the virtual screen in front of them, alarm sounds constantly ringing.

The holographic star map trembled into a sharp polyhedron, blood-red alert lights casting flickering shadows on every commander’s face.

Subordinates reported urgently, “Captain Curtis, someone has intercepted our dimensional jump…”

“Who dares to make a move on the Empire’s fleet?” Curtis’s face turned grim, frowning tightly as he issued a series of orders, “Enter emergency defense mode, construct a regional defense array, all main cannons charge fully…”

“Captain!”

The commander standing by the port window suddenly shouted, their communication devices had already been cut off, and they could only observe with the naked eye.

Curtis’s figure flashed, already by the window, his expression drastically changing.

He saw warships appearing abruptly in the surrounding dimensional space, their coldly gleaming armor surfaces riddled with energy cracks, with blue-violet spatial turbulence spewing from every seam.

The half-extinguished thrusters of the warships spewed purple flames, and a large number of combat mechanisms poured out from them, densely packed, covering the sky and earth.

“That is…” He immediately locked onto a warship’s insignia on the left, a half-gripped metal palm, after a brief moment of thought, he locked onto the target, incredulously saying, “Mechanical Court?”

“Mechanical Court?”

The surrounding combat commanders glanced around, exclaiming, “That force under Azure Dragon?”

“Why are they suddenly attacking us?”

The commanders, who were not overly flustered before, began to feel uneasy at this moment.

Following that, eight mechanical bodies with strong energy auras flew out, causing Curtis’s expression to tighten, his face going pale, “S-Level mechanical bodies, and eight of them…”

This scale was clearly aimed at annihilating them.

“This is the Mechanical Court, friends of the Empire, please do not panic…” An icy mechanical voice suddenly resounded over the communication signal.

“We mean no harm, we just want to get back a person from your hands, someone from the Mechanical Court.”

“Just for one person?” Curtis’s expression slightly paused.

The cabin was entirely silent, and everyone was baffled.

During this time, they’d only captured scavengers, and there should be no significant figures among them.

He adjusted his emotions, and said in a deep voice, “Friends of the Mechanical Court, we are willing to cooperate, please provide the information, and we’ll release the person.”

Beep–

As the words fell, a dossier was sent over.

“Zorro?” Curtis looked at the face on the screen, feeling vaguely familiar.

“…He seems to have escaped prison three times; he truly isn’t ordinary, turns out he’s from the Mechanical Court…”

Hearing the chatter from people around, Curtis recalled this guy indeed had something special.

He hesitated briefly, then said, “I didn’t know earlier that he was from the Mechanical Court, this is a misunderstanding, we’ll release him immediately.”
