Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"No, this will never end!" Karen on the side suddenly shouted.

She held two guns in her hands, and was unable to aim in the chaos. Although several machines fell under her guns, it was Mo Yan who succeeded by attracting their attention.

At this moment, Mo Yan, who was swinging his sword, was also in a tough battle, in stark contrast to Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan, who possessed the ability to destroy.

Until now, Kailin had the Guardian Vouchers of the Moon Saint and Blood Princess, but due to her impression of Sirius, she had no clue what they were, other than the portal's purpose. The Blood Princess's Voucher, while powerful in its spread, could only target living beings. It was completely immune to the cold machinery before her.

Not to mention Mo Yan, if it weren't for this sword, he would have been defeated long ago without any protective credentials.

Kailin was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. Seeing Mo Yan being besieged by three machines at the same time, she became even more anxious. What was even more terrible was that no matter how many machines were knocked down, they always managed to reorganize at the first opportunity.

"Damn it, why is it never ending!" She threw a grenade and rolled to Mo Yan's side in the smoke and dust of the explosion.

At this moment, more security machines surged in from the side. Judging by their smooth surfaces and lack of any warning markings, they were clearly the latest models from the Academy. Their joints shone with a cold metallic sheen, and their movements were seamless, clearly more formidable than the machines they had encountered previously.

"We can't go on like this. If we don't eliminate the source of the trouble, we will be dragged down sooner or later!" Mo Yan swung his sword to block the impact of a sentinel machine. The moment the sword blade collided with the armor, he clearly felt a huge force coming along his arm, and his palm went numb.

As more and more new machines were added, Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan on the other side began to feel overwhelmed.

"That's what you say, but the incident was caused by the Fallen Angel Troupe manipulating the system, and there's nothing we can do about it." Zhao Heng said seriously.

"So we can only put our hopes on Rex and the others." Mo Yan said through gritted teeth.

"No way, then how long do we have to wait?" Karen asked.

However, just as he finished speaking, the two machines standing in the front came rushing over again. Everyone was about to be on guard when suddenly, two shadow leopards rushed out from the side and knocked the machines to the ground.

"Well done. You've managed to hold on until now." Rednos came from behind the crowd, his words filled with praise.

The two shadow leopards were his summons, and they were tearing at the joints of the machine with their sharp claws. Amidst the flying metal fragments, the sentinel machine that was knocked down quickly lost power.

"Why are you here just now?" Karen asked, her hands on her hips.

"What? I just saved you, and you're talking to me in this tone?" He said as if he didn't care.

"What are you talking about? We are in such a tough battle just to help you!" Karen said angrily.

"Really? Then you can go and rest now." Rednos put down his hands and walked straight towards the mechanical tide in front of him.

"Hey, do you want to deal with these iron lumps by yourself?" Mo Yan asked.

"Don't worry, just take a good rest." Rednos smiled lightly.

He looked at the restless mechanical tide in front of him, folded his hands and snorted coldly.

"Heh, a creature that was clearly created to protect the abyss, yet now it dares to bark and protest against the master here. Even though it has no self-awareness, it should at least know what basic etiquette is." He frowned, but stopped where he was without any movement.

Seeing this, Kailin yelled again angrily: "Hey, are you sick? Stop pretending!"

Hearing this, Rednos smiled lightly.

At this moment, an agitated machine rushed over again. Seeing that the drill on the mechanical arm was about to hit him, he still did not react.

"Oh no, get out of the way!" Mo Yan shouted.

The drill bit, accompanied by strong wind, penetrated his body. Everyone dared not breathe. However, when the drill bit passed through his body, not even a trace of blood was left.

Looking at the spot, Rednos was not hurt at all.

"Got through?" Karen asked in surprise.

Not only Kailin, but the machine tilted its head and looked at the drill in its hand, then looked at Rednos who was safe and sound behind him, as if saying with an expression of disbelief: "Am I dazzled?"

Rednos turned back and smiled gently. "Incredible, isn't it? It seems that even with its parameters modified, it still retains its normal thinking and calculations as an artificial intelligence."

The machine put down the drill in its hand and turned around again. As it moved, four more machines quickly ran over and surrounded Rednos.

It gave orders in mechanical language, and at that moment, all the machines surrounding Rednos raised the augers in their right hands, ready to go.

Zizi, click! Buzz——

The sharp sound of electric current was mixed with the crisp sound of gears meshing. The optical lenses of the five machines lit up with dazzling red light at the same time, and the spiral drills began to rotate at high speed, making a teeth-grinding hum.

"Want to join us? Interesting, then come on!" Rednos waved his arm.

As soon as the words fell, the machines instinctively made a charge, but stopped at this moment.

Confused, the four nearby people instinctively glanced towards the machines' feet. They discovered that shadows had somehow entangled their ankles, clinging to the ground like solidified asphalt. The high-speed augers suddenly slowed, and the metal surfaces took on a strange gray-black hue, as if corroded by an invisible force of rust.

"Actually..." Mo Yan said in surprise with his eyes wide open.

At this time, Rednos stepped forward again.

"Unfortunately, the Abyss is my territory. I won't allow anyone to act recklessly here, even if they are machines that don't know etiquette."

He brushed past the machine in front, and then walked towards the tide of machines that were ready to move.

However, seeing these machines didn't hesitate, continuing to surge forward according to the tampered instructions, Rednos continued his pace. Raising his hand, he suddenly slipped into the shadows, then skimmed over each mechanical shadow like a dragonfly skimming the water.

In an instant, the machines whose shadows he touched, like the five machines, were all frozen in place by the suddenly rising shadows.

The moment the auger completely stopped, the machinery seemed to have paused. Rednos's figure moved through the shadows, and wherever he passed, shadows grew like vines, creeping up along the machinery's tracks and joints, leaving dark lines on the metal surfaces.

At the same time, Mo Yan and the other four people standing behind him were once again shocked by his strength.

"How could I not understand our own defense methods? Rex and the others are now working hard to repair the abnormality in the system. However, during this period of time, there is no need for me to fight you to the death, because that would only be a waste of effort. I just need to use some tricks and wait for the opportunity to come, and everything will be solved naturally." He folded his hands with a bit of lazy confidence.
