This Is Really Not Mechanical Ascension Chapter 1092

[ … words ]

Zorro felt a sharp pain in his retina, as if invisible spectrums were attacking, causing tears to surge uncontrollably from his tear glands.

Just about five meters in front of him appeared a black thin line as small as a hair, carving jagged trajectories in the air.

The edge of the rift continuously emitted black glimmer and rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“What the hell…” Zorro’s heart trembled, veins bulging on his forehead. Years of living on the edge had given him an instinctive reaction faster than thought.

At the first moment the rift appeared, he thought of turning around to flee, even causing a big commotion.

However, accompanying the rift was also a layer of energy field, within its coverage, it was as if gravity had been amplified a thousand times over, burdened by a mountain. Despite exerting all his strength, he couldn’t move an inch.

What shocked him even more was what occurred next. As the rift expanded, in his view, the metallic ground presented a wave-like shape, as if transformed into liquid, surging continuously.

The high-energy particle flow seeping from within was rewriting the parameters of the surrounding space.

Yet Zorro had never witnessed such a scene before, doubting his eyes were playing tricks or everything before him was an illusion.

At this moment, in his peripheral vision, he caught sight of several small mechanical bodies running and jumping around in groups, their size barely reaching a meter, with shells covered in colorful patterns.

Hope surged in Zorro’s heart; he knew these small mechanical bodies were referred to as “children” by other mechanical bodies.

He found it difficult to comprehend how mechanical bodies create children.

But now, these were his lifeline, and he hoped the mechanical children wouldn’t act like ordinary children.

Upon witnessing such a bizarre situation, they should look for adults first rather than join the fun.

Yet, to his despair, those little guys neither crowded around nor went to find adults, ignoring the scene before them.

With a leap of three meters high, they swiftly disappeared from his sight.

This energy field probably possesses some sort of stealth trait.

Zorro realized this was territory under the auspices of the Azure Dragon, within the Mechanical Court. If anyone were to launch an attack here, they’d be thoroughly prepared.

In the chaos of his thoughts, the black rift expanded to two meters, its edge erupting with black arcs, while the bizarre surroundings calmed down.

Following this, as he watched, a stream of light gushed out from the black rift, swiftly expanding into a solid figure upon contact with the space.

It was a male human, face stern, dressed in simple black combat armor, processed with extremely refined matte treatment.

The surface was covered in dense anti-scan patterns, which would refract into shattered light spots resembling old camo under strong light.

Zorro’s heart trembled again, followed by two more figures appearing on either side, a man and a woman, each in silver and red armor.

All three gazed over Zorro, seemingly unsurprised there was someone here and not bothering to notice him.

“Didn’t think the Mechanical Court’s defense array would be this difficult to breach.” The man in black armor glanced around warily.

“After all, it’s the planetary defense array left by the Hammer Divine Craftsman. According to data, only sixteen nodes have been strengthened so far, not yet at peak…” the red-armored woman responded.

“If the Mechanical Court’s defense array was fully constructed, breaking through even with a Space Drilling machine would be extremely difficult.”

The man in silver armor indifferently shook his head: “Hammer is dead. His defense array, can it still be invincible?”

The three conversed as if there were no one else present, with the black-armored man seemingly leading, referred to as Night Owl, while the other two were called Silver Fox and Red Forge, apparently code names.

Zorro grew increasingly desperate; his unlucky streak was becoming terrifying, seeing these three’s tone suggested they were not ordinary people.

Of course, Zorro knew they weren’t here for him. But witnessing such an improbable event spelled no good outcome for him.

Where is the Azure Dragon? Why hasn’t he appeared? Haven’t they noticed them?

“…Azure Dragon is no good either, hasn’t detected us.” Silver Fox commented casually.

Night Owl furrowed his brow: “Let’s start; there’s no longer a need for this Mechanical Court…”

Zorro’s heart trembled, were they planning to destroy the entire Mechanical Court?

His heart sank; his body had just been repaired!

Yet after waiting so long, the three didn’t make any moves, merely exchanging glances, Night Owl stating: “Seems Azure Dragon truly departed.”

“Hmm?” Zorro was stunned, only to see the three figures suddenly collapse.

Then the black rift began to shake, a pair of rough hands grappled with the rift’s edge, stretching it wide.

Another three figures emerged, also clad in combat armor, identical in appearance to those collapsed figures just now.

Were those earlier three fake, merely a test?

Zorro finally realized, astonished by their caution, then bitterly smiled, such caution stemmed from their fear of Azure Dragon.

Yet through their test, it was confirmed Azure Dragon was absent from the Mechanical Court.

This time, he’s truly doomed, their preparation was meticulous.

That string of nonsense earlier was merely to provoke Azure Dragon’s reaction, but with their true arrival, the trio spoke no wasted words, expressions still wary.
