Chapter 27: Secret Force, Zeus?
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Wait, why do I feel that your description is a little abrupt?"
As he listened, Lin Chen felt that something was wrong.
The girl looked at him indifferently and asked,
"Then tell me, what don't you understand?"
Lin Chen also voiced his doubts. "I would die three days after the beast tide in your time and space. Then how did you come here? It can't be that within three days, I found a girlfriend and had a child, right?"
He felt that with his personality, he would definitely not be so tigerish.
The girl in the projection spread her hands. "I'm sorry, Old Lin. I can't tell you this."
"You know, something like turning back time is against the natural order of things."
"If the past is changed, the future will also change with it. If I tell you how you met my great-grandmother now, you might subconsciously avoid her in the future. In that case, I might not exist anymore."
"Then I won't be able to build a time machine in the future, let alone save you now."
"A simple deduction would reveal that it is impossible to change what has already happened. However, using time travel would violate this fact and create an inexplicable paradox."
A long list of proprietary explanations gave Lin Chen a headache. He decided not to dwell on this anymore.
"Forget it, forget it. You should just tell me what happened next. Why rescue half a year later instead of three days after the beast tide broke out? Also, why were the Stick Country and Choebon able to take away the energy core of my Hegemony Zero when it went berserk? How is it possible with their lousy cyber people?"
Lin Chen had many questions. If what the girl said just now was the truth, then there were too many suspicious points!
"Sigh…"
The girl held her forehead and said with a headache, "Old Lin, Old Lin, you have so many questions, but you've sort of grasped the main point."
"Actually, half a year after the mechanical beast tide swept through the city again, powerful cyber people suddenly appeared in the three major regions of Huaxia. They were ferocious and had powerful strength."
"However, the strange thing is that those cyber beasts didn't seem to attack them. Instead, they became their 'pet.' Then, they occupied the three major regions with their own strength and became the new master of the World Cyber Alliance."
"As for the natives of the three major regions, they were enslaved by them and reduced to the bottom tier at that time…"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen frowned. "Enslaved humans? Occupied the three major regions? The people of Huaxia were reduced to the bottom?"
"Where's Captain Long? And the survivors of the World Cyber Alliance, they didn't resist?"
The girl shook her head bitterly. "No, because the first thing these cyber people did when they opened the shelter was to gather the cyber people and kill them all. The Long team you mentioned, he resisted with the Emperor of the Westerners, but they were no match for those cyber people at all. They all died."
"In the end, the three major regions, including the entire Huaxia Continent, became their territory.
"According to my mother, ten months after your death, Great-Grandma gave birth to my mother's father, my grandfather. After that, she developed a time machine and wanted to change her fate through it."
"However, because of the harsh environment she was in as well as the lack of technology, it was never completed even after her death. The task of developing the time machine was also handed over to Grandpa."
"Then, it was passed on to my mother, and my mother passed it on to me…"
"Finally, I completed the time machine, and only then did I complete my conversation with you."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that those powerful cyber people are in the same group as the cyber people who took out the berserk Hegemony Zero's energy core."
After the girl finished speaking, all of Lin Chen's doubts surfaced.
At this moment, his mechanical fists were clenched tightly, emitting sparks. Even though he was in the sea, one could still feel the anger emitted by his body.
Lin Chen understood that the mastermind was behind all of this
was Stick Country or Choebon, but Big Beauty Country!
However, he was not overwhelmed by anger. Instead, he asked calmly, "So, that curse of the sea you mentioned earlier, if I hadn't killed the so-called whale king, then I wouldn't have been cursed, right?"
The girl nodded. "Yes, as long as you go back the way you came, you won't be cursed by the sea. You won't die after the mechanical beast tide passes."
"In that case, it will rewrite the history of your death. Perhaps Huaxia would not be destroyed."
"Alright, I'll leave then."
Lin Chen nodded and turned to leave.
However, he was stopped by the girl.
"Old Lin, don't be anxious. I'm not done yet!"
Then, she glanced at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu understood what she meant and called out to the mechanical octopus.
"Xiao Zhang, take that thing out."
After Xiao Zhang heard this, it obediently used its tentacles to take out an energy core that shone with a golden light and a capsule the size of a small car from under its head.
The appearance of this capsule was exactly the same as the time machine, but it was smaller. It should have been brought by his granddaughter.
"Old Lin, this is an S-grade energy core of an ancient creature. Inside the capsule is a set of nanotechnology armor. After you wear it, it will fuse with your body and provide comprehensive healing when you're injured or sick."
Lin Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard the explanation.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, he accepted the two items without hesitation.
"You're welcome, Old Lin. I just don't want to make my great-grandmother sad."
"Aiya, looks like time is about to end. Old Lin, no, great-grandfather, it's all up to you later on!"
With that, the screen terminated, and peace was once again restored in the cave.
"It's time. I should go."
Lin Chen looked at the girl who had disappeared and actually felt a little reluctant.
But now was not the time to think about such things.
He had things to do.
"In that case, Xiaoyu, do you want to leave with me?"
Lin Chen turned around and looked at Xiaoyu.
"No, Xiaoyu and Xiao Zhang have other things to do here. Please go back quickly. I hope you can save our world."
"Alright, Xiaoyu. If you encounter any danger, come to Huaxia directly to look for me."
After Lin Chen gave his instructions, he started the engine and left the way he came.
…..
3rd month, 11th day, 1:30 a.m., East Huaxia Sea Region, Hegemony Zero docking point.
The Hegemony Zero was still undergoing the third stage of upgrading. On the coast, the B-grade giant crab mecha was patrolling back and forth vigilantly.
About a kilometer away from here, in a sea view room, through the French windows, he could clearly see the full view of Hegemony Zero.
"Lord Welldeep, I feel full of strength! Even an A-grade cyber beast is no match for me!"
In the living room, there was a mecha warrior half-kneeling in front of Welldeep.
However, he was different from ordinary mecha warriors. His face was ferocious, like a wild beast.
"Yes, Midfield Sir. Remember, come back after killing that giant crab mecha. We haven't figured out the performance of that aircraft carrier mecha yet. We can't act rashly. Just wait for Joseph Sir's next order."
"Alright, Lord Welldeep!"
…
Stick Country, 500 meters below the central city.
The Mechanical Research Unit of Big Beauty Country dug a huge pit 1,000 meters long, 500 meters high, and 1,000 meters wide.
In the center of the deep pit stood a super-large mecha.
It was nearly 500 meters tall and stood underground like a huge city, giving people a strong shock and visual impact.
On the platform in front of its chest, two people were talking.
They were Kim Handsome from Stick Country and Joseph from Big Beauty Country.
"What do you think, Kim Sir? Isn't my Zeus spectacular?"
Joseph spread his arms and proudly introduced his 'masterpiece'.
Kim Handsome nodded obediently. "Yes, Mr. Joseph."
"So, are you willing to help me accomplish this great feat?"
Joseph asked.
"Of course, sir. But what would you like me to do for you?"
When Joseph heard this, he looked at Kim Handsome seriously.
"It's very simple. I need you to help me snatch the energy core of Lin Chen's mecha!"
"And these will help you!"
Joseph clapped his hands. Suddenly, a mechanical arm stretched out in front of Zeus. On it were energy cores that emitted a dark light.

Chapter 28: Extraordinary Combat Power, Man-Made Cyber Person!

"Mr. Joseph, these are…?"
Looking at these energy cores, Kim Handsome frowned. It was obvious that he was repulsed by the item.
However, after calming down, he went forward and picked up an energy core and asked with anticipation,
"Mr. Joseph, how can this thing help me?"
The people of Stick Country were all like this. They all had an innate special obsession with cleanliness and would reject things that looked bad at first glance. However, they were especially fond of things from Big Beauty Country. As long as they were products of Big Beauty Country, they would always think that they were good things.
In today's thinking, such a situation was bootlicking! It was blatant bootlicking with double standards!
"Mr. Kim, if I remember correctly, it seems you're not a cyber person, right?"
Joseph suddenly asked.
Kim Handsome scratched his head awkwardly. "Yes, I can only say that I'm too unlucky. Otherwise, I would have been a BMW or thereabout."
"Not bad, not bad. That's good."
Joseph revealed a pleased smile.
However, this smile made Kim Handsome lose his composure.
He asked, "Mr. Joseph, what do you mean by not bad?"
Joseph walked forward and patted his shoulder.
"There's a chance for you to become a cyber person now. Are you willing to do it?"
"Become a cyber person?" Kim Handsome trembled when he heard that.
One had to know that only those who were chosen by cyber people could become cyber people and fuse with their precious items.
However, if one was not chosen at that time, then no matter how hard one tried, it would have been impossible.
However, Joseph said that there was a way to make him a cyber person!
This was absolutely impossible!!
When the Cyber Crisis first descended, the few countries had a discussion at the headquarters of the World Cyber Alliance in Huaxia.
He quickly associated it with the foreign-looking energy core in his hand that was emitting a ghostly flow.
He raised his head tentatively. "Mr. Joseph, are you saying that this thing can turn me into a cyber person?"
This was the only thing Kim Handsome could think of.
The energy core was equivalent to the heart of a mecha. If the heart was gone, the mecha would be a pile of scrap metal.
Therefore, to create an artificial cyber person, then it was natural to work on the energy core.
However, he knew.
Since there was intent to turn humans into cyber people, then Big Beauty Country would definitely have to conduct human genetic experiments in certain places.
This was an old tradition; it was already commonplace.
This also made Kim Handsome suddenly think of something bad.
Was he going to use him as a guinea pig?
Such a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.
He was so frightened that he quickly put the energy core back.
Seeing this, Joseph was not angry. Instead, he smiled and comforted,
"It's okay, Mr. Kim. After all, everyone is afraid of the unknown. I had the same reaction when I first came into contact with the energy core."
"In Huaxia, there's a saying that goes, 'empty talk has no proof', so take a look at this first before deciding if you want to use it."
After saying that, Joseph snapped his fingers, and a projection suddenly appeared in front of them.
In the projection, it was the East Huaxia Sea, where Lin Chen's Hegemony Zero was docked.
It was almost two in the morning. Everyone had already gone to bed early, and the surroundings were pitch-black.
However, the Hegemony Zero was surrounded by lights.
The engineering mechas responsible for upgrading the Hegemony Zero did not have any rest time.
Therefore, at this time, they were still working with professionalism.
Under the illumination of these engineering lights, one could see that the patrolling giant crab mecha was still running back and forth on the beach, alert to every move in the surroundings.
Upon seeing the Hegemony Zero, Kim Handsome could not help but recall the scene of it fighting on the live broadcast.
If there was only one word to describe that scene, it would be 'pervert'!
Even though he had seen many huge mechas as an envoy who traveled between countries,
the power that could pierce through the S-grade Lava Beast mecha with a single punch was not something that ordinary cyber people's mechas could compare to.
"Mr. Joseph, you want me to see this…?"
Kim Handsome did not quite understand what Joseph meant.
Joseph smiled.
"Mr. Kim, don't be anxious. The show has just begun."
…
At this moment, on the beach, a humanoid mecha wrapped in pitch-black armor was slowly advancing towards the giant crab mecha.
His body was only twice the size of an ordinary human.
His face was like a ghost, as if he was wearing a beast mask.
He held mutated beast metal fangs that looked chilling. They were so sharp that they seemed to be able to cut through anything.
He was Midfield. Three hours ago, he had fused with the "energy core" that Joseph had given to Welldeep.
In just a few hours, he had become a small mecha warrior who was said to be able to defeat A-grade mecha beasts.
At this moment, the giant crab mecha in charge of patrolling the beach was the first to notice something amiss. It immediately activated its counterattack mode.
It charged towards Midfield at an extremely fast speed.
Its body, which was more than ten meters tall, streaked across the sky like a meteor.
The pair of steel pincers produced a powerful and sharp wind sound!
In the eyes of this giant crab mecha, Midfield was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Such a ferocious and swift attack style and speed, if it were an ordinary mecha warrior, he would have long been scared silly.
However, Midfield did not panic or fear at all. He calmly raised his right hand and nimbly blocked the giant crab mecha's attack with the metal fangs in his hand!
The moment the fangs touched the steel pincers, a crisp clang sounded and flames immediately splattered!
However, this was not the end. Midfield exerted a little force with the metal fangs in his right hand, and the giant crab mecha's body was instantly sent flying several meters away!
Its huge body landed heavily on the ground, causing sand and dust to fly everywhere!
This scene stunned Kim Handsome, who was watching the battle.
"Mr. Joseph, is… is he still human?"
He had only fused with an energy core, and he was actually able to withstand the full-strength attack of that B-grade giant crab mecha!
He even repelled the other party?
Seeing Kim Handsome's reaction, Joseph calmly explained, "Mr. Kim, what you see is only the first batch of test subjects. They have matching weapons and small mechas."
"Although they are smaller in size, their strength and speed are both at the level of an A-grade cyber beast."
A-grade cyber beast!
It had to be known that A-grade cyber beasts evolved from those ferocious beasts.
They were already kings of the natural world before the cyber transformation, not to mention their terrifying strength after mecha transformation.
Their combat power was even comparable to a few tanks taking turns to bombard! It was enough to show how terrifying they were!
However, such a powerful existence could be created with just one energy core!
This man-made cyber person was indeed a little terrifying!
Moreover, from what Joseph said, there seemed to be other batches of energy cores!
Could it be?
With this question in mind, he gulped and pointed at the boxes of energy cores beside him.
"Are these the second batch?"
When Joseph heard his question, he smiled and shook his index finger.
"No, no, no, Mr. Kim. They're the newly improved third batch."
