Chapter 734: Chapter 509: Terrifying Collision, Earth-Shattering Reversal (Part 3)

Everything was within his calculations.

......

"It’s coming!"

Almost at the moment after Stroheim’s victory, True Master Qing Wu had already switched his view back.

At this moment on the plains.

Gold, black, and dark gold pseudo domains were increasingly close, with light seemingly refracted in chaos, making the scene here progressively harder to observe, surrounded only by endless brilliance and storms circling three machines like celestial bodies, the broadcast cameras inevitably leaving trails.

——This was caused by the domain spread by the "Celestial Punishment" with black hole-like suction.

"The domains are about to overlap, indicating the result should be forthcoming soon."

"If the boundaries begin to coincide, the domain itself will inevitably collapse rapidly."

Major General Zhang also became completely serious: "The biggest difference between pseudo domains and ordinary domains is their lack of stability, not to mention they are deployed using Tier Five machines?"

True Master Qing Wu murmured, "Under system constraints, True Master pressed the machines of Tier Five Peak, with such over-limit energy levels, to this extent. Even if it’s not a special domain like ’Celestial Punishment,’ it inevitably becomes unstable."

"This means... the signs of ’True Activation’ are about to emerge."

[True Activation?]

[Such a thing exists?] 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

[What on earth is that?]

Remyu also began explaining in her live broadcast room:

"The so-called ’True Activation’ is a unique trait of Tier Five Peak Spirit Rune Arrays and Spiritual Artifacts."

"Simply put, under overly abundant energy levels, near-critical Spirit Rune Arrays manifest an unstable trait. This instability is not due to a problem with the technology itself but is a spontaneous tendency, like a leap, sublimation, towards higher-level evolution."

[Doesn’t this sound like a good thing?]

[Evolution means a guaranteed win, doesn’t it?]

But some understood right away.

[Can you guarantee success in tier breakthrough? Or even if you can in a quiet environment, what about on the battlefield? In a dangerous environment?]

[Breakthrough at the last minute is for the protagonists in novels. Normally, how could you see it?]

[Oh my god, that’s what it means.]

"That’s right, under high-intensity propulsion, the spirit rune system inside the machine starts to become unstable, attempting to forcibly leap and sublimate towards Tier Six!"

"If it fails, the entire machine will be destroyed!"

True Master Qing Wu suddenly stood up from his seat, looking intensely grave: "So now it’s about who can last longer or crush the opponent first!"

Several seconds later——

Boom!!!

Under the gaze of the entire Coastal City, and even nearly half of Yue Shui Province’s audience, the boundaries of three light balls had already met!

In an instant, a terrifying three-colored wave spread from the dark gray sky, sweeping across, collapsing obstacles within the increasingly narrow safe zone where it passed.

[Celestial Punishment], or [Chaos], or [Angry Iron Plate], seemed to reach the most critical juncture.

Both True Master Qian Yue and True Master Li Feng had already poured all their power into suppressing True Activation, maintaining the release of pseudo domains and skills.

Yet.

At this moment.

Inside the cockpit of [Angry Iron Plate].

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

The thumping sound of the [Heart of Terra] echoed within.

In the minds of Zumama and Lin Guang, linked to the core of the entire spirit rune system, suddenly resounding with a series of roars.

In those roars, seemingly contained numerous emotions that were difficult to fathom.

"..."

Zumama’s eyes burned with indigo flames, suddenly speaking: "Did you feel it? The sound of the Angry Iron Plate."

"Of course."

Dark gold surged in Lin Guang’s eyes, revealing a smile, saying: "How could I not hear?"

——Core Load: 99%

"Then, let’s do this!"

"Just believe in it, and it’s enough!"

At this very moment.

At this very instant.

Under the astonished gaze of all spectators and commentators.

In the cataclysmic collision, among the three light balls, the relatively smallest dark gold pseudo domain flickered twice and suddenly extinguished.

The small frame of the Angry Iron Plate seemed like a lonely boat in a storm, instantly swept into the ripple from the collision of the remaining two, disappearing without a trace.

[??? Giving up in despair?]

[Done for, the Angry Iron Plate couldn’t hold on! The domain shattered!]

[Damn, time was too short, four months weren’t enough to completely redesign the machine!]

[What a pity, the dark horse stops here...]

Yet the retreat of the Angry Iron Plate seemed to break the balance, with the rapidly rotating [Celestial Punishment] fiercely charging towards the pseudo domain of [Chaos].

In an instant, two decidedly differently natured pseudo domains abruptly overlapped.

Rumble——!!!

Gold and black pseudo domains intertwined.

Pure white light exploded from the energy collision’s core, rendering the viewing screen of almost all first-person perspective spectators into chaos at this moment.

The entire safe zone started to insanely shake, everything seeming to be packed into an iron box and shaken madly.

Yet everyone immediately switched to third-person perspective, looking towards the battlefield from afar.

And the result?

Theoretically, [Celestial Punishment] should have the advantage, taking more initiative, but [Chaos] visibly more stable than Celestial Punishment, might seize the opportunity...

Then——

The light gradually faded.

After the explosion from the pseudo domain clash, ether and dust combined into a nebulous halo, swirling in vortex form across the space of the entire safe zone.

The vortex abruptly formed, as if something was voraciously devouring the remaining ether freshly relinquished.

And at the center of it all, leaving just one machine’s silhouette.

Everyone.

All spectators.

Including the two True Master commentators of the panel.

All fell silent abruptly.

Because what appeared in sight was a machine so rugged, yet bearing an indescribable sense of power.

Even though it appeared somewhat broken, with almost all yellow-black exterior armor already gone, exposing the spirit rune array and framework inside.

Yet at this very moment, standing tall at the battlefield’s center, crowned, and surrounded by countless streams of energy, it looked like a true king.

Angry Iron Plate!
