Inside the Annushus, Levinbeck stood by the porthole, his pupils reflecting a dazzling starry sky, with energy residues everywhere.
"Still hiding, feigning weakness to the enemy..." Levinbeck pondered, "Are you planning to deliberately lose to Ryan?"
"Indeed, Azure Dragon is just Azure Dragon, having such a high reputation seems rather useless."
He didn’t think that Azure Dragon lacked the means to suppress Ryan, after all, the current Ryan was just normal Ryan.
With Azure Dragon’s skills, it’s impossible to have such a primitive Mecha, full of flaws, only sturdy materials and a special power system, and no weapons at all, it’s too crude.
Barbaro clenched his fists in disappointment, saying, "The battles of Mechanics are always so unappealing."
"Ryan is just a lower X-level, he hasn’t even stepped into the Ultimate Path, Divine Craftsman..."
Actually, Divine Craftsman was never a classification of power, it was just that the Mechanic Association had elevated it to the level of an X-level Life Form through years of effort.
The Mechanical Army sounds grand, but it’s extremely costly, and due to operational limits, its practical performance isn’t as formidable as imagined.
Soft power is indeed strong, but hard power is questionable.
If one were to trace back to Divine Craftsman’s battles, the last would be one to two thousand years ago.
"Too many restrictions, Costa’s Prince would never just watch, allowing a Mechanic to have a solo challenge..." said Shepherd, shaking his head.
Anduin also prepared to say a few words.
Suddenly, the Creator Divine Craftsman’s mechanical pupils spun rapidly, Barbaro’s face turned stiff, and Shepherd’s pupils turned emerald green.
Seeing everyone’s reactions, Anduin swallowed back the words he was about to say, filled with disbelief and suspicion.
A streak of flowing light suddenly slashed through the starfield, shooting out from the central battle cluster, directly crashing into a distant onlooker ship, causing a series of explosions.
Ryan was blasted away!?
Barbaro swiftly took a few steps forward, his expression darkening as if he felt slapped.
Did that Mecha possess such power?
"What’s that thing in his hand?" The Creator Divine Craftsman stared intently at the battlefield, the Mechanical Soul Divine Craftsman hesitated, "It looks like a small hammer?"
The heavyweight figures watching via virtual projection were eager to know the specifics, but could only wait.
"Who said Azure Dragon is at a disadvantage? Stand up! Falsely reporting military information, you should be executed!"
After a brief silence, the wide-area channel boiled over, just now it was Azure Dragon being pressed down, how did Ryan end up being the one blown away?
"Don’t get so excited, it’s just a minor counterattack."
"That... is..." Levinbeck’s eyes were firmly fixed on the gradually distinct luxurious Mecha, quietly hovering in the starfield, the right hand gripping a small hammer about a meter long.
"That is..." His breathing accelerated, his eyes bloodshot, "Infinite Hammer!"
Even though it was shrunk several times, and its surface was full of cracks, its appearance details were extremely similar.
"No, Infinite Hammer is made of ’Infinite Protons’, the mass of this material is incredibly high, it doesn’t have the ability to autonomously shrink." Levinbeck realized again, "A replica of the Infinite Hammer? Why is it full of cracks?"
He couldn’t figure it out, but it further substantiated Azure Dragon’s identity, who would replicate such a hammer for no reason?
"That hammer..." Ryan’s face turned grim, his eyes fixed on the purple small hammer in Azure Dragon’s hand, this weapon had considerable power, catching him off guard, he suffered a loss, with his chest even slightly dented, "pure strength."
Yet, Li Ming didn’t just stand by, he seized the momentum, no longer hiding, his figure suddenly disappearing, his speed greatly increasing.
Ryan’s face changed slightly, does this guy have more tricks?
He didn’t dodge, holding a black long spear as he charged straight in.
The hammer and spear collided head-on, exploding violently into a blazing Energy Ring.
This time, from the touch alone, he felt the difference, the opponent’s strength wasn’t just a notch higher, it doubled.
Li Ming utilized the technique he honed during Holy Castle trials - the Quick Switching Stream.
In battles, using [Talos’ Heart] to swiftly and flexibly switch power, defense, speed, and stamina buffs to handle various situations.
He could do it before as well, but it required multitasking during battles, and it had to adapt to changes in the situation.
Occasional switching one or two times was fine, but switching back and forth multiple times became a bit too much.
But during the Holy Castle trials, frequently facing group attacks, his combat instincts had transformed to a terrifying level.
Many times the control switching had become a bodily instinct.
The only risk was that when using other buffs, once the defense buff weakened, if Ryan slightly hit him, he would inevitably get pierced through.
So he chose to keep suppressing and attacking, using the hammer to clash with the opponent, occasionally touching, secretly absorbing Genetic Essence.
Energy clusters continued to bloom, offense and defense positions shifted, and after a bout of fierce fighting, Ryan’s face turned increasingly gloomy, this Mecha was too strange, with its speed and strength fluctuating unpredictably.
Even if the Mecha entered a load state, it shouldn’t have such a high increase.
Moreover, this Mecha showed no signs of being in a load state, its energy flow remained stable.
The pressure was surging, if he couldn’t handle even this Mecha, he might become a laughingstock in the future.
"He can only enter that state..." Ryan felt unwilling, although he anticipated Azure Dragon wouldn’t be easily dealt with, he still harbored a glimmer of hope.
