Chapter 399 Unknown Matter and Energy
So this guy came for me?!
Tang Zijun's expression changed slightly, and a strange guess slowly took shape in his mind. On the other side, the huge and burly intelligent robot had already raised the cannon on its right arm.
A blinding red light, mixed with an overwhelming scorching heat, exploded on a layer of emerald green barrier. The entire basement shook violently, and ripples spread across the surface of the barrier.
This is Xiao Xiao's "Tidal Wave: Ocean Shelter," the most powerful defensive magic she possesses. However, in such a confined environment, she finds it difficult to unleash its full power.
This is just a basement, not the comic convention hall where it was raining heavily. All the water elements that could be communicated with nearby are blocked by cement and walls, and the cramped space makes it difficult for her to show off her skills.
Supporting herself against the barrier, Xiao Xiao turned to Tang Zijun. "Brother Tang, I'll try my best to corner it. You and Nuomi, quickly take that arm and leave this place through the elevator!"
However, upon hearing this, Tang Zijun did not react at all; his eyes remained fixed on the intelligent robot not far away.
"This might be an opportunity..."
"What did you say?" Xiao Xiao didn't hear Tang Zijun's soft murmur. She paused for a moment, then continued shouting, "Hurry up, or this place will collapse!"
Before she could finish speaking, the intelligent robot suddenly slashed open the blue barrier with a knife. With a loud whoosh, the entire barrier shattered, and terrifying power instantly swept out and spread outwards.
Before she could react, Nuomi was slammed against the wall, while the petite flower fairy was sent flying backwards, tracing a path in the air before being caught by Tang Zijun.
Immediately afterwards, that familiar voice came out.
"Tang Zijun, what the hell is this thing?!"
Hyacinth held Tang Zijun's fingers tightly and couldn't help but shout loudly.
Tang Zijun didn't answer her question, but instead placed the hyacinth on her arm and whispered.
"Hyacinth, keep an eye on it."
"what?"
Hyacinth tilted its head as it looked at the enormous arm that could be used as a bridge.
She really wanted to ask Tang Zijun if she was serious.
However, Tang Zijun, who was standing next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the imposing robot that was coming towards him.
"You know me, don't you?"
"Sizzle... Traitor..."
The intelligent robot's eyes flashed red, and it kept repeating mechanical words. At this moment, Tang Zijun vaguely sensed an unusual and chaotic information. The information was like fragments of memory, movie clips, or common-sense phrases.
As a hazy, illusory stream of gray information flooded his mind, Tang Zijun vaguely sensed something was amiss, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. This made his expression as he looked at the intelligent robot even more grave.
"Annihilate...the traitors..."
Slightly out of breath, Xiao Xiao stood in front of Tang Zijun, keeping a close eye on the approaching mechanical monster, and hesitantly asked, "Brother Tang, do you...do you recognize this thing?"
"No, I feel like it recognizes me..." Tang Zijun frowned. "No, it should be said that it mistook me for something else."
As she spoke, Tang Zijun seemed to realize something. "I understand, you detected the residual information on me, so you mistook me for that woman, right?"
"Annihilate!"
The intelligent robot suddenly sprang up, its entire body charging straight towards Tang Zijun and Xiao Xiao.
"Brother Tang, be careful!"
Xiao Xiao subconsciously raised the magic wand in her hand.
But before she could make a move, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and a black figure flashed out from behind her like lightning, meeting the oncoming intelligent robot in the blink of an eye at an even faster speed.
Clang!
A piercing metallic clang echoed throughout the basement, the terrifying repulsive force causing Xiao Xiao to stumble back two steps.
Once she realized what had happened, her expression became incredibly interesting.
"Tang, Brother Tang, you..."
Suddenly, Tang Zijun was holding a silver short sword. The blade was not the dark crystal weapon that Xiao Xiao was familiar with; instead, it looked like some kind of technological product. But this small short sword managed to stop the intelligent robot wielding the giant sword.
"I originally wanted to keep a valuable sample for research, but I didn't expect it to be damaged by you halfway through. Oh well, it's just a sample, I can accept replacing it."
Tang Zijun held the short sword to block the huge blade, while her other hand swiftly slashed from her waist, quickly inserting the silver card into the slot of her belt.
【Masked Drive--!】
"Transform!"
A burst of highly rhythmic music suddenly appeared, and in a silvery light, Tang Zijun's entire body was enveloped in a layer of semi-transparent armor, which was gradually materializing.
Xiao Xiao and Nuomi behind them were stunned. The two, one human and one ferret, stared wide-eyed at the silver figure in disbelief.
"Kamen Rider is coming to fight!?"
"finally..."
Hearing the screams behind her, Tang Zijun felt a strange sense of relief. Finally, she had encountered a magical girl who transformed herself instead of shouting for help.
With a soft sigh, Tang Zijun exerted force in her hand, directly knocking away the giant sword of the intelligent robot. With a flash of silver light, the robot's arm carrying the hand cannon instantly detached from its shoulder and landed heavily on the ground with a thud.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Sparks flew as electric currents surged, red light flickered in the robot's eyes, and its originally hoarse metallic voice became indistinct.
"Eliminate...the...traitors..."
"Since you're here, you might as well stay."
With a single palm strike, Tang Zijun deflected the giant blade that the opponent raised again, and then turned the short sword in her hand, sending it directly into the chest of the intelligent robot.
The sharp, dagger pierced through the opponent's metal casing without any resistance, as easily as cutting through tofu, with a series of loud thuds!
The joints all over the robot's body began to emit eerie blue currents and sparks. Streams of electricity, like centipedes, slithered across its body, causing the basement lights to flicker.
In an instant, the intelligent robot seemed to have suffered a severe blow. Its burly body trembled slightly, its metallic surface was riddled with holes by the electric current, and its internal organs began to vibrate violently.
Just then, a metallic sound, distinctly different from the previous one, rang out from the other person's body.
"Initiating Protocol 3..."
"What, Protocol Three?" Nuomi curled up into a ball, hugging her tail. "Is this thing going to self-destruct?!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao panicked and quickly waved her magic wand as she ran towards Tang Zijun.
Tang Zijun frowned. He didn't sense any threat, but there was indeed some strange energy gathering in the other person's body.
It was eerie because it was an energy that Tang Zijun had never encountered before, completely different from magic, the power of greed, the power of shadow, or even divine power. It was an energy that ordinary people could hardly understand, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was some kind of material particle that humans could not verify.
Before she could figure it out, Tang Zijun felt a weight on her arm. When she looked up, she found that the intelligent robot had grabbed her wrist, which was holding the short sword.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Tang Zijun immediately turned around and hissed, "Don't come any closer!"
But it was too late to warn them then, and there was nowhere to hide in the basement. Xiao Xiao paused slightly, and then she saw the robot's body tremble violently like a volcano about to erupt, emitting a sharp alarm.
The next moment, a dazzling light emanated from the core of the intelligent robot, followed by the unknown material particles transforming into thick, observable bolts of lightning that spread wildly outwards from the robot's center.
The basement was instantly engulfed by lightning, which, like a ferocious giant python, swept across the walls, floor, and ceiling, emitting a crackling sound wherever it passed.
It was at this moment that everything around began to undergo strange changes.
The originally sturdy, cold equipment and bricks crumbled and disintegrated under the impact of this strange energy, transforming into a strange gray-white cube-like substance, like countless streams of information flickering with light, drifting and intertwining in the basement.
Xiao Xiao was startled by this sudden change. She subconsciously raised a magic shield, but she quickly found that the released magic power lost its connection with her in an instant.
Terrifying lightning engulfed the entire basement, and the powerful energy and horrifying sight made Nuomi scream.
Even the hyacinth, which was furthest away, wasn't much better off. She had never seen such a bizarre scene before, and she hugged her arms tightly, afraid of being torn to pieces by the lightning.
But what you fear most is what happens. As if sensing something, the lightning, after spreading out to a certain extent, suddenly turned and rushed towards the hyacinth.
Hyacinth's face turned deathly pale in the flash of lightning, but it was too late to react.
The next second, a figure suddenly shielded Hyacinth, and the oncoming lightning bolt was violently repelled as if it were a repulsion between like elements.
The white cloak fluttered in the energy fluctuations, and Hyacinth could only vaguely make out the iconic white one-eyed mask.
When she came to her senses, she found that the rampant lightning in the basement had disappeared at some point.
Also vanished were the robotic robot, Tang Zijun, and the blue-skirted magical girl and her spirit beast not far away...
