16 Narrowly Escaped Death
Both White Flame Cat and Stewart quickly rushed to level two of the basement. In order to prevent the other party from reaching it first, they tried to block each other, which resulted in both of them being slowed down.
Meanwhile, Steve got ahold of the seven-colored egg, sounding the alarm in the process. He then quickly rushed to the only exit.
"Detestable thief, you won't get away with this!"
At this time, a roaring sound could be heard. Suddenly, a light saber came from behind him and swept across Steve's neck. It was an obvious attempt to cut his head off!
Facing the sudden crisis sent a chill down Steve's spine. There had been no warning sign of this attack at all. Even the Heart of the universe had not sensed its approach.
Fortunately, The Heart of the universe had a quick response, forming in his mind a three-dimensional pattern, which was a tall and mighty robot. Steve felt a sudden notion, prompting him to bow his head. The light saber then suddenly swept past so closely, it shaved off the hair on the back of his neck!
He hurriedly somersaulted forward, then turned back, only to find a robot attacking him! It was a two-meter-tall, gorilla-like robot, holding a light cannonball in one hand and a lightsaber in the other.
"Die!" the robot roared, as the light cannonball in its hand charged with energy. Then, it shot its cannonball towards Steve.
Steve made another somersault and fled, secretly saying aloud, "What exactly is that?"
"Collecting data... data collection is complete!"
Name: Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla. Level: Class F 1001. Generation Robot. Fighting power: 600 Risk ratio: Death level. Tip: Collic cultivates the biological main brain with its own cells, replacing the main brain of Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla. Thus, Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla has some of the power of Collic.
......
Steve gasped as he read the data. The robot in front of him was even stronger than White Flame Cat! This was truly Collic's secret weapon!
Robots, weapons, and serums were all divided into F to A classes, and were arranged from normal to level one in regards to their being evolved beings. For instance, the F1001 generation combat robot's strength was comparable to the 100% level of cell activation, with some being even stronger.
Steve did not expect that Collic, in order to protect the seven-colored egg, had not only made arrangements for the White Flame Cat, but had also secretly hid the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla.
He could not imagine what would have happened to him, if he had lured out the White Flame Cat earlier. In the face of both the White Flame Cat and the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla, even a level one evolved being would have been seriously wounded! Even those with a 100% level of cell activation would die miserably.
Boom!
Boom!
Steve managed to escape the attacks several times in a row, and the laboratory on basement level two was badly destroyed.
"What bad luck!" Steve could not help but swear.
He had encountered three powerful beings at the upper level and the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla at the lower level. If he knew that it was going to be so dangerous, he would not have stolen the seven-colored egg.
But now, the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla had his eyes fixed on him, meaning that Steve would most likely be killed sooner or later.
"What should I do to get rid of this darn robot?!" Steve said.
"Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla's core was built with Collin's main brain, which can be destroyed by hacking into the system. After bringing the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla to a stop, you can destroy it by removing the optical brain," the Heart of the universe responded.
"How can I hack into the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla's system?" Steve asked anxiously.
"Hacking into the system requires its owner to be in contact with its skin."
Looking at the ferocious Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla, it seemed invincible, like it could easily destroy everything and everyone in its path! Still, Steve gritted his teeth and turned around, then dashed towards the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla.
In the three-dimensional pattern formed in Steve's mind, the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla would be throwing a punch at him next. Steve's ability to avoid being attacked by the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla largely depended on the predictions made by the Heart of the universe.
Whoosh!
Steve suddenly dodged and held on tightly to Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla's arm, then tripped the robot. When the robot lost its balance, he slammed it onto the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook as the huge robot fell.
"Hacking in progress, estimated time needed is 10 seconds... 10... 9... 8..."
It would take 10 seconds to hack into the system and sever the link between the optical brain and the robot. Steve's facial expression changed. Ten seconds seemed like a relatively short time, but he knew all too well that it was plenty of time for a lot to happen!
"Darn intruder! I'm going to kill you!" roared the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla, not expecting to be toppled by Steve. His other hand was ready with a thunderbolt magnetic cannonball. He raised it, taking aim at Steve.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Numerous fist-sized thunderbolt magnetic cannonballs were fired continuously at Steve. Although they were not as powerful as the giant cannonball, they were still fast and numerous in quantity.
The Heart of the universe was hacking into the system, so Steve knew that he must always maintain a skin-resolving state with the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla. He made a sudden turn, his two legs locking down the arms of the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla. With another turn, he held tightly onto the robot's throat with his other hand.
This particular move was adopted from wrestling and was enough to block the enemy's ability to move. If a normal human was locked up in such a way, even breathing would be difficult for him, and his arm may be broken!
But, the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla was a robot after all. So, its arm, which was locked, did not break, but rotated 180 degrees all of a sudden! At this time, although Steve had managed to avoid most of the thunderbolt magnetic cannonballs, the last cannonball changed its trajectory suddenly, smashing into him!
"Aaahhhhhh!"
Steve let out a scream, as thunder and lightning passed over him. He felt as if his body was being pricked by a thousand needles and his hair was standing on end. His body was also engulfed in white smoke.
"Beep beep! Master's life function has just dropped 50%! You are currently in a critical state!"
That single thunderbolt magnetic cannonball had reduced Steve's life by 50%! Steve was unsure if he could withstand another hit.
"I can't take it any longer!" Steve yelled.
Click, click, click...
Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla's head suddenly turned 180 degrees, then suddenly opened his mouth. A large thunderbolt magnetic cannonball then condensed in his mouth.
"F**k you!" Steve swore loudly, as the cannonball was aimed in the direction of his face, waiting to kill him! At this crucial moment, Steve skirted to the side of the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla. Steve then pounced on the robot and held on to his head. He then squatted down.
"1... System successfully hacked!" Just then, the Heart of the universe suddenly sounded out.
Zizz Zizz...
Those thunderbolt magnetic cannonballs, which were supposed to explode gradually, instantly were extinguished. The Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla's eyes dimmed, then the whole robot became motionless.
"It's over?"
Steve turned his head towards the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla.
Click! Click!
Just then, the skull of the Robot Thunderbolt Gorilla split open. In the center of the brain was a thumb-sized red crystal that was connected to countless nerves.
"What is this?"
Steve walked over with hesitation.
