Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Adam had a slight, cat-and-mouse smile on his lips.

Energy began to slowly gather in his raised mechanical hand.

Countless visible pale golden high-energy particles rapidly converged and spun, continuously gathering in front of his palm.

Leng Yue Ning and the others became increasingly tense, their bodies drenched in cold sweat, ready for battle.

However, just as Adam was preparing to set off...

The seemingly stable, dark blue sea prison suspended in the air suddenly began to tremble with an unusual tremor!

"Buzz...buzz buzz buzz..."

A deep, resonant tremor, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the abyss, erupted without warning from within the massive Water Cube cage! The normally flowing water on the surface of the entire sea prison suddenly became chaotic, violently undulating and surging, exploding into visible, rapidly expanding ripples of energy!

Deep within the cage, in the dark waters sealed by extreme water pressure, an ancient, slumbering beast seemed to awaken with a roar... A terrifying force, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort and tremble, was rapidly accumulating at an exponential rate...

Leng Yuening, Xiao Yuxi, Yu Li and the others were all slightly taken aback and looked in the direction of the Sea Prison Technique.

Adam's grey-blue eyes narrowed slightly.

Such a powerful energy reaction...

Is it number 3?

"Drink!" Ji Cangyuan clasped his hands together and added soul power to the Sea Prison, trying to maintain the Sea Prison technique.

"Buzzing...buzzing buzzing—!!"

However, the buzzing sound within the azure sea prison gradually grew louder!

“Bang——!!!!!!!”

Finally, the enormous, dark blue sea prison, like a water sphere bursting from the inside by immense force, exploded with a deafening roar!

The ruptured seawater, under unimaginable internal pressure, transformed into countless destructive torrents mixed with high-pressure soul power, shooting wildly in all directions in spherical shapes!

The shockwave, carrying a cloud of water mist, was like the most violent tsunami, violently blowing away and scattering Karl's mechanical legion that surrounded him like pieces of paper!

"Watch out!" Leng Yuening only had time to cry out in alarm before she and everything around them were instantly engulfed by the indiscriminate water explosion.

"Dark Magic - Demonic Light Barrier!" Yu Li exerted all her strength to create several overlapping layers of dark light shields in front of the raging torrent and her body, barely protecting her companions, but she was still pushed backward by the overwhelming force.

The raging waves also swept towards Carl and Adam.

A flash of eerie blue light appeared in front of the two, and the incredibly tough hexagonal honeycomb nanoshield instantly deployed, steadily blocking the high-pressure torrent that was powerful enough to tear steel apart, only causing dense ripples on its surface.

Karl slowly lowered his arm that had been blocking his way, and for the first time, a slight pause appeared on his elegant face.

His pupils reflected a huge, dark shadow that suddenly descended and blocked out all the light above!

A huge shadow loomed over the clouds.

Above the clouds, a colossal mechanical creation was suspended!

It was a colossal mechanical dragon, as large as a mountain, completely covered and enveloped by dark, blackish-gray, cold steel machinery!

The mechanical dragon is covered in all sorts of sophisticated and deadly weapon modules, with a steel head, a steel body, and giant wings made of nano-metal scales. It also has two terrifyingly large railguns symmetrically mounted on its back!

The parts of the rest of the body fit together with precision, including multi-missile pods, pulse laser arrays, rotating close-in weapon turrets, and other extraordinary technological weapons of all sizes, covering the entire body from head to toe and even to the tail.

At first glance, you can tell it's a terrifying war machine!

Like a steel demon, radiating a chilling aura, it appeared abruptly above the clouds!

At this moment, Gao Shenxue stood quietly at the center of the head of this mechanical destruction dragon.

The wind whipped her long black ponytail and the hem of her dress, and her eyes, clear and cold as stars, calmly looked down at Adam and Karl below through the lingering mist.

"Holy crap..." Not to mention Adam and Carl, even Lin Chishang was startled: "What kind of monster is this??? Is it... on our side?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Yao Yue looked up: "Didn't you see Lady Shen Xue standing on the head of that mechanical dragon?"

However, the distance is indeed quite far, so it's normal that you can't see it...

The mechanical dragon, over nine hundred meters tall, stood atop the clouds like a mountain peak rising from a sea of ​​clouds. Gao Shenxue's figure, perched atop the dragon's head, was merely a tiny pixel, practically invisible...

Yu Li stared blankly at the mechanical dragon.

Mechanical Destroyer Dragon...

This mechanical dragon was the one that launched the Celestial Star before...

I didn't expect Xue'er to even summon this.

Adam's pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief surged in his gray-blue eyes, which had always carried a hint of contempt.

"Type IV mech... a demigod-level mech!??"

"..."

The elegant smile that seemed welded to Karl's face finally vanished. After a moment of silence, he said, "I never expected that Number 3 would have such a powerful secret weapon hidden away!"

He seemed to have a vague idea of ​​how the Heavenly Star had been launched before!

"How is this possible?... " Adam's face darkened, and he muttered to himself, "Type IV demigod-level mechs, even the demi-human race hasn't built one since the last ten centuries. The technological environment of the human civilization where Number 3 lives is far inferior to that of the demi-humans. How could they have independently completed a creation of this level??

Moreover, manufacturing this level of mech requires more than just technology!

The sheer size of this mountain-like creature alone would require an astronomical amount of rare materials. Adam could tell at a glance that the entire steel body of this Mechanical Destroyer Dragon was forged from Soul Steel!

Unless they can unify all races and plunder all the Soul Iron mines on their territory, where will they get so much Soul Steel?!
