Capítulo 195: If Poland Had a Gundam
"Hello? Have you thought of a solution yet?"
Bang!
Gwen leapt high into the air as the Rhino Man charged into a building, smashing a corner of it like it was made of toy blocks.
The Rhino Man turned around, emerging from the rubble, missile launchers opening on his body—
Immediately, Gwen used her webs to grab a manhole cover and swatted the missile towards an empty area!
Boom!
The explosion startled a helicopter in the distance, which quickly pulled away.
"Great, now you've scared off all the media—no one's going to take your picture now."
Before Gwen could finish her sentence, an RPG suddenly flew out from a corner!
Boom!
The rocket hit Rhino's armor, kicking up a cloud of dust. But it only made the Rhino Man take a small step back, barely fazed. As the dust cleared, all that was visible were a few more scratches on the armor's surface.
"Nice shot! Got anything more powerful?"
Gwen greeted the masked men in the corner, but they didn't respond—
A small car was thrown, flipping over the traffic jam and hurtling towards the masked men.
The gangsters quickly dodged, though one unlucky guy got caught in the tumbling vehicle.
"Damn it—any more rocket launchers? Get him out of here!"
Gwen spotted a black-and-white man wearing a mask, leading a group of underlings and quickly moving with a rocket launcher.
Black and white? There's no way anyone in this world has that skin color, right?
"Tsk, am I really working with someone who looks like a supervillain right now?"
Gwen's spider-sense tingled, and she frowned, leaping high into the air!
A utility pole was smashed out of the ground, deeply embedding itself into the stairs of nearby buildings like a javelin.
The destruction kept escalating—whether it was the Rhino Man or those gangsters, their destructive power was immense.
"If only there was something that could pry open that armor."
Before Gwen could finish her thought, her phone rang.
Leo: "Distract him. Lead him towards that building on the left."
"Distract him? What distracts a rhino?"
Gwen looked around. Cars, trees... the only useful thing seemed to be the manhole covers.
"Hope Dad doesn't arrest me for stealing these."
[Participation in Development: All-Terrain Assistive Exoskeleton]
[Description: A simplified version of octopus arms, attached to the limbs as an exoskeleton, providing all-terrain gripping capability. It extends and anchors to a surface for stability when needed.]
[Reward: 1,000 tech points]
[Participation in Development: Data Knife]
[Description: Made of special armor-piercing steel, indestructible. It has built-in hacking lines that can infiltrate networks once connected to electronic systems.]
[Reward: 500 tech points]
[Participation in Development: Armor-Piercing Ejection System]

[Current tech points: 3,500]
Click.
The exoskeleton connected to Leo's magnetic gloves, linking his body to a complete force framework, all controlled by his neural system.
The more complex the machine's movements, the higher the data traffic that the brain-machine interface had to handle, increasing the risk of frying the user's brain.
A larger brain capacity meant higher processing power—Leo grasped the wall, steadily climbing upward.
Reaching the rooftop, Leo shot out a web, sticking it to a building dozens of meters away—
With the exoskeleton's support, he could now bear the weight of both himself and his gear, freely swinging through the air!
Whoosh!
The wind rushed past his ears as Leo flew at high speed between buildings!
Soaring over chaotic streets and panicking crowds, the exoskeleton provided him immense power, allowing him to move rapidly. It even corrected his posture with small octopus-like arms whenever he lost balance.
The exoskeleton had minimal AI, adjusting the wearer's form using neural links—it felt almost like Leo himself was doing it all!
[Mindset alterations detected from exoskeleton AI, impact minimal.]
[Evolution Heart neutralized the influence.]
Boom!
The Rhino Man crashed into a shop by the roadside. Martin lifted his rocket launcher and signaled to his men—
"Fire!"
Boom!
The explosion filled the ruins with smoke, but the roaring engines and heavy footsteps of the Rhino could still be heard.
Bang, bang, bang—
Bang!
The massive figure burst from the smoke, effortlessly pushing aside a large truck in front of the Sinister Gang members, leaving them without cover!
Bang!
Just then, a manhole cover struck Rhino Man's head with a crisp sound.
The pilot inside the beastly mech seemed to have the thought process of a real rhino, slowly turning his head as steam hissed from the machine.
Gwen pointed upwards, and the Rhino Man stupidly tried to look up, but his neck was too short to turn.
Meanwhile, in the air, Leo seized the opportunity, pouncing onto the Rhino's back!
Bang.
The exoskeleton on his legs detached, leaving only the support frame connected to Leo's body. The remaining limbs transformed into octopus arms and dug fiercely into the Rhino's armor.
The pilot inside only felt like he was hit again and that his body grew slightly heavier—but Leo remained unfazed.
Both of Leo's arms detached, becoming octopus arms and plugging into the armor-piercing ejector system—
Electricity surged from the battery pack on Leo's back into the ejector. The device resembled a scorpion's tail, charging segment by segment, the sharp blade gleaming in the sunlight.
Click, click, click—
Bang!
With a loud crash, the blade pierced the Rhino's armor!
The loud bang made the pilot inside scream in agony—
Damaged armor would crush the circuits, which was equivalent to crushing his nerves!
But the stab wasn't deep enough yet!
The Rhino Man jumped and ran around wildly, then, realizing nothing worked, transformed his armored legs and even stood up!
The four-meter-tall armored rhino smashed into the building behind him, trying to crush the bug on his back!
Leo frowned, activating his sandevistan system. The computing power of his prosthetics increased exponentially as his neural activity spiked!
The blade retracted, the octopus arms released their grip, and Leo dropped down—
Boom!
Half the building collapsed, and the office workers inside looked terrified.
They had been taking pictures on their phones, never expecting the Rhino to stand up!
As the dust cleared, the Rhino Man confidently shrugged his shoulder plates, only to hear the familiar sound of the ejector charging again—
Click, click, click.
Leo's two octopus legs were anchored to the ground, while the remaining two arms aimed at the previous hole in the armor!
"No—"
Bang!
The enormous recoil spread through the octopus arms, their built-in AI calculating the force transfer to the ground, leaving a web of cracks in the pavement.
This time, the data knife penetrated!
This was Oscorp's most conservatively designed armor, with only a small portion covered by the exoskeleton, making its movements clumsy and slow.
But after two ejections, the data knife pierced through the outer layer of armor, broke through the hydraulic motors, and reached the electronic circuit layer.
Electricity surged, and Leo interfaced with the Rhino's control system!
Miles away, an electronic entity in a military base sensed the intrusion!
"Interesting. Let me see what you've got—uh..."
Bang!
The server section responsible for the Rhino armor suddenly emitted black smoke. The digital entity encountered something it had never dealt with before—
It was like a general who had spent years preparing to blitz Poland, only to see the Polish bring out a Gundam and charge straight into Berlin!
As black smoke rose from the server, it lost control of the section, and a highly intelligent program spread throughout his system!
Fortunately, the digital entity quickly redirected resources to quash the invasion—
Thankfully, he wasn't actually commanding the Third Reich's army. Reallocating processing power was easy.
However, he had still lost a storage section. Worse, he couldn't be sure what information the intruder had stolen in that brief moment!
"."
The digital entity remained silent for a full second before rapidly issuing a series of commands.
"Oscorp's servers have been breached. Execute Plan B. Lower public visibility."
"Breached? What are you talking about?"
"It's that kid doing something! Increase Leo Lee's threat level and isolate the event."
"But Oscrop still has one piece of equipment left—"
"I've lost control of Oscrop's network. Their pathetic security measures wouldn't last a second against me, so how long do you think that kid will take? Go low-profile!"
"Alright, but the partner won't be happy about this—he had high hopes for Osborne."
"Oscorp has to be sacrificed. For us, and for the partner. He'll understand. Have him prepare for the acquisition."
"By the way, Dr. Zola, it's not just the partner who won't be happy—we're not too pleased either."
"...I know."
