Chapter 738: Chapter 511: I Want to Make It Come Alive

At the same time, all the crimson meteors and Sword Rain within the opponent’s Pseudo Domain surged like a storm towards the two.

Stolheim’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the massive light wings wrapped around the surface of the machine without any hesitation, assuming a defensive posture.

The next moment, he seemed to hear a roar like an angry howl from within the opponent’s machine.

Roar!!!

Rumble!!!

Instantly, all the viewers in the live broadcast saw—

The very center of the battlefield erupted with a terrifying attack.

The brilliance of the explosion tangled together, and the strong shockwave rippled the ground like water, where Ether surged from the point of impact towards all directions.

The two already unstable light spheres, which were squeezing each other, became fiercely unstable like candle flames in the wind.

[Holy shit holy shit holy shit]

[Point-blank fire?! Are they going for mutual destruction?!]

[No way!!]

The next moment, the silhouettes of two machines reappeared amidst the smoke.

The shell of [Angry Iron Plate] became tattered but regenerated at an astonishing speed.

Conversely, [Zero].

Its armor remained intact.

But among the six energy wings on its back, one had become damaged.

This damage shattered the perfect posture it had maintained.

In the next moment, [Angry Iron Plate] ferociously lunged forward again, maintaining the rhythm of battle without a pause, becoming even more intense. It used every part of its body to launch a savage attack on [Zero], in a raw, brutal manner, harming itself a thousand times to inflict eight hundred damage on the enemy.

Sword Light and saw discs crossed again.

All the viewers in the live broadcast were stunned.

[Holy shit? What’s happening? How is it still an even match?]

[Something’s wrong! Look at Angry Iron Plate’s momentum! It seems to be... getting stronger?!]

[This must be some kind of god-mode cheat! It’s been beaten up like this and still counterattacks?!]

[Didn’t they say the Pseudo Domain collision would become increasingly unstable?]

The True Intent in Stolheim’s eyes raced through various data at a terrifying speed, yet he could hardly believe it.

"How is this possible?!"

It wasn’t an illusion.

Its speed was indeed increasing, and the power of its strikes was growing stronger.

Clearly, according to calculations, it should have reached its limit long ago, but the opponent in front of him was absorbing power from the battle in a way he couldn’t comprehend.

"......"

Instinctively, Stolheim looked at the opponent’s Pseudo Domain behind it—the clusters of dark golden crystals were constantly growing.

Previously, Ether left by [Chaos] and [Celestial Punishment] in the field was being absorbed at terrifying speed and then reinfused into this machine.

His opponent possessed the True Intent and Ability of energy absorption, a fact he had long sensed, but no matter how strong the ability, if the user cannot sustain it, it is all in vain.

In his observation, the red progress bar representing [Angry Iron Plate]’s core load was already very high.

99%...

99.5%...

99.8%...

It was infinitely close to full load for such a long time, the True Activation process should have already started, and the machine should be becoming unstable...

Stolheim could hardly believe it.

Why could it continue to get stronger?!

It had already surpassed its peak state previously observed in the chaotic battles!

Meanwhile, the surface of the crystal in [Angry Iron Plate]’s cockpit, the pair of scarlet electronic eyes was getting brighter, filled with an extreme sense of madness.

[Holy crap, what is that sound?]

This time, not only Stolheim but even the viewers and commentators seemed to hear something.

Roar—

It was the sound of a roar from [Angry Iron Plate]’s core.

Indeed it was extreme anger.

Yet it also carried a certain indescribable elation.

[Core Load: 100%]

Then...

[Core Load: 101%]

[102%]

[103%]

Still rising.

"...!!!"

Stolheim suddenly realized something, his handsome face completely collapsed, and he looked at the load reading on his vision that had already broken through 105% and continued to climb, shouting out loud: "Are you kidding?!"

"In this situation, actively leading the True Activation process? Aren’t they afraid of the machine completely collapsing from failure?"

And unknowingly.

Lisa, who was nervously watching the battlefield, saw the eyes of the dark green Dragon Bubble in her arms light up.

It lifted its head, those pure dark red eyes flashing with a highly human-like look of surprise. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

[Status: Xizhi’s Thought (Activated)]

At this moment, it had become someone’s eyes, watching Angry Iron Plate.

That was...

...

In the cockpit of [Angry Iron Plate].

The girl’s eyes sparkled with radiant light.

Those indigo eyes seemed to be watching the outside world, yet also appeared in a trance, as if they had flown to a place unknown, all the while as though staring at the boy beside her.

Zumama, driving her abilities to the extreme, felt she had almost completely dissolved into the core of the machine, countless emotional and rational, indescribable pieces of information rushed through her perception based on Source Stone.

It was the terrifying pressure originating from the entire machine.

One part needed to fight while simultaneously undergoing the most fundamental sublimation.

—That’s right, True Activation had indeed begun.

This was the final trump card of the [Angry Iron Plate].

Ordinary machines, due to the materials and technology, even if the Energy Level is sufficient, True Activation is forbidden.

Because the probability of failure is too high.

The success probability for a Spirit Master at Five-Star Peak breaking through to Six-Star and achieving True Master status is about 7% at best—this excludes those Spirit Masters who dare not make the breakthrough in a lifetime, who even comprise the majority.
