Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 292: Steam King VS VillainThe tide that had been intercepted by the Scoundrel persisted for a while before suddenly vanishing, exactly as its system had identified.
For anyone else, fearing something that appeared suddenly and disappeared inexplicably would be perfectly normal.
But, he saw it.
Before the tide disappeared.
A vortex appeared at its very center.
Everything passed through that vortex and vanished, with the thick fog serving as cover, creating the effect of disappearing and reappearing for no reason in others' eyes.
Where did the vortex lead?
Before the mechanical tide completely receded.
Ye Qiyan left an Anchor coordinate on it.
At this moment, the tide that devoured cities and consumed everything was right there, inside the palace of the Steam King whom people in this city revered.
To say they were unrelated?
Heh~
"Scoundrel."
The command was issued.
Ye Qiyan felt there was no need to continue observing.
This station.
This place, in two days, the only method he could find to complete the mission.
Was to eliminate the "Steam King" before him.
"G-great one, you?"
"What happens next has nothing to do with you~"
Ye Qiyan walked past Nate.
The Scoundrel's shields had already shifted direction, aimed at the guard soldier still in a dazed state.
"Advance--!"
Both shields slammed against the door, and the mechanical soldier guarding it, before understanding the situation, was sandwiched between the Scoundrel's two shields and instantly knocked unconscious.
"Two days, rather than randomly searching everywhere for a way to complete the mission, this is simpler and more brutal~"
Forward--!
Alarm sirens shrieked inside the factory.
Numerous fully-equipped mechanical prosthetic modified humans rushed out.
"Intruder, intruder! Eliminate the intruder!"
Useless.
When facing beings similar to God's Apostles, perhaps the Scoundrel's capabilities might be insufficient.
But, here?
Or rather, within this relatively normal Level 8 Platform.
The Scoundrel's existence.
In a certain sense, was also quite overpowered.
The two divine core shields continued pushing forward.
Until they collided with a semi-transparent curtain.
That was the steam Protective Barrier guarding the factory.
However.
Nothing.
The shields slammed and kept advancing.
The attacks from those mechanical monsters felt like tickling.
Nate stared dumbfounded at Ye Qiyan standing on the Scoundrel's shoulder.
"G-great one! What, what are you doing?"
Wasn't it obvious what he was doing?
"Of course, I want to meet that great Steam King you spoke of."
"But there's no need!"
He didn't get to finish his words, because Ye Qiyan had no intention of listening.
"Now I've truly become a villain steeped in evil~"
Continued advancement.
No person or attack could hinder the Scoundrel's steps.
When the steam Protective Barrier was shattered to pieces by the Scoundrel's shields.
The core area of this factory was completely exposed to Ye Qiyan's sight.
Arrogance ability activated.
God's perspective--
Penetrated the thick fog.
Penetrated the steel.
Finally.
He saw it.
At the location of that anchor point, a bulky mechanical soldier with extremely thick armor covering its entire body, continuously spewing gray-white steam, opened a single red eye.
Rumble--!
The Rebel Machines that Nate spoke of poured into an opening in its gigantic body.
Burning--Vaporizing--Combusting--!
The sound of steam propulsion and the Scoundrel's roar formed a stark contrast.
"Who?"
A dull sound emerged from the giant mechanical soldier.
"Machinery, not belonging to steam?"
"And, human."
"Heretic--"
"Non-steam, execute."
The steel-colored steam mechanical soldier stood upon the earth.
Violent steam spread outward.
The entire city, due to its movements, produced more and more toxic thick fog.
"I, am the Steam King!"
"Heretic."
Boom boom boom--
"Die!"
It, was enormous.
One hundred meters? Two hundred? Three hundred?
Before it, the Scoundrel seemed like a child.
"This body, is the end of all fantasies."
"Steam pressure, maximum."
Beneath its feet, violent steam propelled the hundreds-of-meters-tall mechanical body into the air.
In its hand, a reverse-wound giant hammer began to rotate.
The air was being compressed by it.
An attack like Mount Tai crushing down came smashing toward Ye Qiyan and the Scoundrel.
"Is this like waking up on the wrong side of the bed? Ha~"
"Scoundrel, block it."
Command issued.
Double shields overlapped.
The Scoundrel released its beastly roar.
Shields raised overhead.
Collided with the Steam King's attack.
Decay, lava, steam, extreme poison!
The violent fluctuations made everyone in the entire city tremble with fear.
Oxygen was thinning, the poison in the thick fog intensifying.
The Steam King's body gradually turned red.
"Heretic--!"
Its attack was blocked.
Rage and the high-temperature counter-damage from the lava shield stacked together.
"High-efficiency--compressed difference engine, activate."
Further compression.
The giant hammer in its hand infinitely absorbed surrounding mechanical products, turning them into fuel.
"Steam pressure--rising."
"Annihilate, single strike."
A strike several times more powerful than before came crashing down heavily.
Yet, Ye Qiyan's command remained the same.
"Block it!"
Boom boom boom--!
The Scoundrel's body emitted intense cries of distress.
But it, still stood firm upon this earth.
Its armor was cracking.
The ground it stood on was collapsing.
But, the Scoundrel still blocked the attack.
"Heretic--!!!"
The Steam King was enraged.
Because its attack failed to break the Scoundrel's defense, and those two shields caused massive counter-damage.
Burning, decay...
The former mattered little to machinery.
But the latter?
Decay, was machinery's greatest enemy.
"Unforgivable, heretic machine, must be, destroyed--!"
"Function expansion, activate, second form--"
Steam went berserk.
The temperature throughout the entire city kept increasing.
On the ground, people fearfully felt the harsh living environment worsen as new armor appeared on the Steam King's body, becoming so severe that even people who had modified their internal organs found it difficult to endure.
Nate clutched his throat desperately, looking ahead in despair.
"King! No, don't, don't continue! We, will die!"
His plea was meaningless.
This so-called Steam King was no benevolent ruler.
It was just a machine.
A machine that proclaimed itself king.
Would a machine care about humans?
Well, Ye Qiyan's machine cared about him~
"Ha, still holding up?"
Ye Qiyan patted the Scoundrel's head, and the Scoundrel responded with its beastly roar.
"Good."
"Then, hold out until the end, let me see how far you can go."
"Block it!"
