I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Immediately afterwards, the two originally motionless machines returned to their normal posture, and their bodies were wrapped in a more powerful protective coating that increased their strength properties by a hundred times!

Amidst the uproar, a thick shadow of fear once again enveloped the crowd. Only Qin Yifei remained calm and composed, facing the challenge head-on. He adopted a defensive stance, scanning his teammates with a resolute and fearless gaze to boost their morale. He replied, "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, as long as we unite as one, we can always find a way out and break free from the shackles of adversity and restrictions! We must never retreat, become timid, and lose the spark of hope and its radiant flame!"

"Well said! Let's fight him to the end and blow these iron lumps to pieces!" The little boy, who had regained his confidence and enthusiasm at some point, raised his fist and echoed the shouting, inspiring fighting spirit, passion, and majestic momentum. He rushed forward, charged into battle, and moved forward bravely, never bowing his head, retreating, and succumbing to the threat and coercion of power and pressure!

"Alright!!!" Countless echoes resounded throughout the space, spreading and spreading like a tsunami, inspiring people and gathering strength, unleashing a powerful kinetic energy that pushed the plot towards its climax, the critical juncture, and the turning point...

At this time, Zhao Li slightly raised the corners of her lips and gently asked the direction of the source of the broadcast, saying: "So what characters will be scheduled to appear next? The expectations are quite full and exciting. I can't wait to witness the results and the famous scenes~".

"Oh, Zhao Li is truly remarkable. She can maintain her composure even at times like this." The voice on the radio spoke with a hint of amusement and appreciation. "Since you're so excited, let's welcome our 'special guest'."

Before he could finish his words, the arena's ground suddenly shook violently. A massive crack opened up in the ground, and from the ground slowly rose a pitch-black, dark-red-glowing ultimate battle robot! Its appearance was overwhelming—high-energy particle cannons mounted on its shoulders, and a massive core device embedded in its chest emitted a breathtaking red energy halo. When it stepped on the ground, it seemed as if the entire space trembled with its weight.

A spectator in the stands opened his mouth wide: "Holy crap! What kind of thing is this? What were those small fry just now?! This is clearly the boss himself!"

The little boy on the other side couldn't help but shrink his neck and shivered as he said, "It's over...are we all going to die? How can we fight this thing?!"

In contrast to the panicked crowd, Zhao Li instead displayed a look of intense interest, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Oh? This is more interesting."

At the same time, the team members' expressions varied. Du Fan gripped the heavy electromagnetic rifle tightly and cursed softly, "Damn! They've hidden this kind of monster! Do they really think we'll just kneel down and surrender?"

The fat chef was sweating profusely, and was so panicked that he could hardly speak a complete sentence: "What, what should we do? Even those iron lumps just now almost killed us. This one is definitely not an ordinary level! I'm afraid I'm going to die here..."

The hacker Wang Hao was still diligently analyzing the data stream. He rapidly tapped on the device's keyboard, his eyes fixed on the changing numbers on the screen. He gasped and shouted, "Don't give up! I've found some information! Although this guy looks ridiculously powerful, the operating load of his core system has reached a critical value. If we can find a suitable breakthrough, we can forcibly detonate the internal safety valve!"

That being said, the practical implementation remained a challenge. Qin Yifei shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen carefully! Don't disperse your forces! Act according to the tactical plan. Prioritize weakening the outer armor, and then Du Fan and I will lead the attack on the key areas. Zhao Li—" He turned to look at the woman who had been standing still. "If you have any other cards, please bring them out as soon as possible. Otherwise, this battle could very well be ours."

Facing the team's focused gaze, Zhao Li remained calm. She simply raised her hand and gestured for silence. Then, she raised her voice and smiled at the robot, "Well, Mr. Big Guy, how about playing a game with us first? Perhaps you can tell me who is controlling you behind the scenes? Or are you just a pitiful little tool?"

Her tone was calm, yet every word carried a powerful force, sending passersby into a frenzy of excitement and causing even the robots themselves to pause briefly. For a moment, the entire arena fell into an eerie silence.

"Is this girl crazy?" someone in the stands muttered to himself. "Who would dare to challenge a super weapon so directly? Is she too old to live?"

But the next second, something even more surprising happened!

---

The black behemoth did not launch an attack immediately, but replied in a low electronic synthesized voice: "Ms. Zhao Li is indeed extremely smart. But I will not reveal any information until you truly understand the situation." After that, the mechanical arm suddenly raised up and released a laser sweep at everyone like a stun grenade!

Suddenly, the explosion sent countless clouds of dust filling the air. Players who were unable to dodge the shockwave instantly fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

The fat chef hid behind a broken wall in a panic, gasping for breath and cursing, "What the hell! What kind of weird setting is this? Why can the enemies talk like humans? It's beyond my comprehension!"

However, in this chaotic moment, Zhao Li's movements, which had been aloofly observing, finally became visible. Several devices, gleaming with a blue-white glow, appeared in her hands, and she threw them with pinpoint precision to various hidden locations around her. With each placement, the surrounding air turbulence grew noticeably more intense.

Passersby had different reactions to this:

"Look what that woman is doing! Is that some kind of magic formation? Or some kind of advanced weapon arrangement?" someone exclaimed.

"Shut up!" Another person covered his face. "Have you forgotten that her words just now almost got us all killed? Anyone who can remain calm in such a situation is definitely not an ordinary person, okay?!"

Just as the doubts intensified, Zhao Li's voice rang out, "Everyone, hold on for three more minutes. I've already set up the detonation network. Now all we have to do is attract the enemy's attention."

Her words undoubtedly ignited a final spark of hope. The team, previously demoralized, suddenly regained their spirits, calling out to each other to regroup and charge at the behemoth. Even the tech-geeky Wang Hao began providing real-time assistance, constantly reminding them of optimal shooting angles and weak spots.

As another wave of intensive offensive began, the discussion in the stands reached a climax again.

A thin little boy shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs, "Oh my god, I didn't expect these guys to be so brave! Even though their opponent has already evolved into a boss form, they still managed to stand firm and fight. This plot is really awesome!"

The burly man next to him scoffed and replied, "Hmph, that's easy to say. If it were your turn to stand in the ring, you'd probably be on your knees begging for mercy long ago! Look at the injuries on each of them. Which one of them didn't risk their lives to get to this point?! That's absolutely incredible willpower! I have to admit, I admire it."

While they were talking, an accident suddenly happened!

The massive black machine suddenly changed its fighting style, shifting from simple long-range fire suppression to close-quarters combat. The force of its heavily armored punches was deafening, and each impact left a massive dent.

Du Fan tried to block the opponent's first punch, but the powerful inertia sent him flying over ten meters away. "Fuck! This is too strong! Who can withstand this!" He fell to the ground, coughing up blood, but his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of retreat.
