Chapter 616 - Black Park

The restricted zone known as Black Park was shrouded in a thin veil of soot. It was impossible to tell what lay within—one had to enter to find out.

Han Wu stowed the flying vessels in Jumen once they approached the edge of Black Park. Not wanting a repeat of the tiny machines in the Weeping Mines, Kerry first sampled the soot in the air to confirm its composition.

After confirming that it was regular soot, she made four machines that could provide fresh air to the four biological life forms in their team. They then stepped through the veil of black soot and laid eyes on the restricted zone.

It had clearly once been an amusement park that had since been turned into an automaton’s heaven. Every single automaton wore a large mascot suit, with some even handing out flyers.

Despite their appearances, it would be a fatal mistake to assume that they were weak. A quick check of their capabilities made plain that the automatons giving out flyers weren’t as they appeared.

The colorful flyers were actually paper-like bombs that would explode in three seconds when tossed out. They could even detonate them at will. The explosion’s strength was proportional to the number of flyers they held or were within a certain radius.

There were also some clutching onto cute toys. Closer inspection revealed these toys to be concealed guns instead. Their cute poses for the outsiders were merely an opportunity to aim for their heads.

There were many other automatons of different varieties, but Han Wu concluded that cuter meant more dangerous. The automatons crowded over when they noticed Han Wu and his group.

A huge number of flyers were tossed their way. Other automatons raised their toys and made cute poses. This was war.

Akanzor swung his new laser greatsword, generating wind blades that destroyed the flyer bombs with ease. Bart loosed numerous arrows on the mascots with his new recurve bow.

An automaton could function normally so long as its core was undamaged, so a mere arrow wasn’t an issue. That was, until the arrows started beeping. The ensuing wave of explosions wrecked a huge number of mascots in one go.

Satisfied with the power of the explosive arrows, Bart gave Kerry a quick thumbs-up. Kerry smiled in response as she fired off consecutive Death Blows with her two revolvers. Each bullet exploded upon contact with the mascots’ heads, releasing a cloud of gas containing Death Energy.

Touching the purple gas meant death. Even the automatons were no exception to this. The purple gas corroded their circuitry, and they collapsed to the ground as scrap metal.

The four automatons of the Black Rose Squad used their overwhelming firepower, a mix of heavy and light weapons, to suppress their enemies as usual.

Han Wu used his left cable arm to unleash a continuous barrage of Lightning Whips. Any automaton that approached was swiftly dealt with. At the same time, his right arm was in laser cannon form, which allowed him to annihilate automatons from a distance as well.

They destroyed an army of automatons within Black Park with ease. The commotion caught the attention of automatons further in the restricted zone, causing more waves to converge upon them, but they too were soon obliterated. Their only contribution was exhausting the energy of Han Wu’s team.

However, even this had little effect. They hadn’t had any issues with energy since receiving Luxun. The supportive automaton supplied them enough energy to go all out without worry.

They soon destroyed more than 10,000 automatons. With a wave of Han Wu’s hand, over 20,000 Energy Parts and chips flew toward him, allowing him to store them safely in Jumen.

The automatons endlessly swarmed them. They had been coded to attack continuously and exhaust their enemy’s energy. This previously surefire path to victory was useless against Han Wu and his team due to their unlimited supply of energy.

A long time passed in this never-ending battle. Han Wu and his team eventually annihilated 100,000 automatons. Their bodies piled up into mountains of scrap metal, yet the team still showed no signs of exhausting their energy.

As if angered by the sheer loss of its automatons, the ground of Black Park started to tremble. The buildings in the amusement park grew legs and converged around a single spot, fusing into a thousand-meter-tall automaton!

It had a haunted house for a head; two halves of the pirate ship for arms; a roller coaster track coiled around its body, carts still circling the track; and a Ferris wheel as its legs, allowing it to roll smoothly.

Though bizarre, it was undoubtedly the strongest core that Han Wu had encountered to date. The giant automaton tossed several bombs disguised as buggy cars. Each car exploded with a frightening force.

The automaton then grabbed the roller coaster track and used it as a segmented whip that left deep craters in the ground. Han Wu and his team repeatedly dodged the attacks, but the others were already exhausted from the prolonged battle. Seeing this, Han Wu went all out.

He needed a large body to fight the massive foe. Clapping, his Divine Ring appeared. He then turned it into the Pressure Ring, and he used True Demon King Transformation.

Every movement of his ten-thousand-meter-tall demon king form could level the ground itself. The thousand-meter-tall automaton was but a dwarf to him now.

He raised his legs and stomped downward. The heavy weight of his massive body crushed the automaton in one go. Energy Parts burst out from the automaton. Unfortunately, Han Wu found neither the fire nor the blueprint this time either. There was only a single level 10 chip.

As he was about to undo his transformation, he noticed a swarm of flying vessels locking onto him. They started bombing him without warning, taking advantage of the massive target that was Han Wu at the moment.

Han Wu swiftly used Black Dragon King Transformation and turned his Pressure Ring into the Great Dragon Ring.

Dragon Fear shielded Han Wu like an invisible wall. The bombs and missiles detonated before coming into contact with him. Swiping with his claws, he smashed one flying vessel after another with ease.

Sensing that his true enemies were still hiding, Han Wu let out a roar, taunting them to come out and fight him.

Five powerful beings entered from outside Black Park and surrounded him. They each had a part of the Machine God. A powerful resonance emerged with the gathering of all seven parts.

The final battle for the Machine God parts had begun!
