Collapse Iron, Knight Power refreshes every week Chapter 099

“Is this how you treat the esteemed guest you speak of?”

Robin was currently confined in a laser isolation cell.

Outside her cell, the computer in front of her operated automatically, without anyone manipulating it.

Line after line of code leaped onto the computer screen.

However, a thin layer of dust had settled on the keyboard, which made the entire scene extremely bizarre.

But Robin understood that within the computer before her, lay the culprit responsible for this planet’s current state.

Cyrus Ziltworth.

Wang Xi had previously told her to retreat first and not get involved in the battle with Ember.

As soon as Robin left the building, she was immediately surrounded by a whole of mechanical guards.

It was a team of mechanical soldiers specially dispatched by Cyrus, and their purpose was for her.

“Please don’t misunderstand, Miss Robin, I’m doing this to protect you better.”

Cyrus’s voice came from the speakers, but his actions had little to do with what he said.

“Heh, imprisoning me here, this is what you call protection.”

Robin sneered, but then she seemed to remember something: “That’s right, compared to your atrocious behavior towards your benefactor, this indeed counts as a form of protection.”

For the benefactor he spoke of, Cyrus had used all sorts of methods.

All kinds of inhumane human experiments were arranged for that race.

Compared to that, imprisoning her indeed counted as a form of protection, but this protection definitely had a purpose.

“So, what do you plan to use me for?” Robin didn’t believe that Cyrus would attack her for no reason.

“Miss Robin, you’re overthinking it. I simply want to protect you.”

Cyrus’s voice once again came from the surrounding speakers: “After all, I did have a very pleasant conversation with the Dream Master and your brother, and because of that, you must leave here safely.”

“Shut up, how could Brother and the Dream Master have any connection with someone like you!” Robin immediately denied his words.

She didn’t believe that the Dream Master who raised her and the brother who accompanied her would be involved with this guy who conducted inhumane experiments and disregarded life.

“It’s understandable that you don’t believe me, after all, we only communicated verbally, and there’s no substantial evidence, so no evidence could be left behind.”

“But please rest assured, you only need to help me with a small favor, and you personally will naturally be able to leave here safely.”

Upon hearing these words, Robin suddenly focused on a keyword in the sentence.

“What do you mean? What do you mean only I can leave here safely?”

Robin wanted to step forward to ask for clarification, but the laser in front of her immediately emitted an intense light.

“Literally. No other beings on this planet, except you, can leave.”

Robin suddenly understood after hearing these words: “So, the one who activated the high-energy magnetic field outside the planet, preventing spaceships from leaving…”

“Exactly, it’s me.” Cyrus’s tone showed no fluctuation: “My plan cannot be known by others in the galaxy.”

“This is something that will shake the entire galaxy.”

“Then why… did you tell me?” Robin didn’t understand why Cyrus would tell her this.

“It’s simple, someone always needs to witness the greatness of my plan.”

At this, a hint of a smile appeared in Cyrus’s voice: “Besides, do you think anyone in the galaxy can condemn my sins based on your mere words?”

“No, I should say that by then, few in the galaxy will be able to guess my sins.”

Cyrus placed all his attention on the place he cared about most right now.

There were countless culture dishes, and inside them, many pure white things were pulsating like hearts.

The rampant destruction outside didn’t matter; as long as this thing wasn’t harmed, Cyrus wouldn’t feel panicked at all.

Except…

“Why is that power here again?” A bewildered emotion was transmitted from Cyrus’s consciousness core.

Since a few days ago, a mysterious force had been trying to visit his core database.

And this force was almost constantly invading, twenty-four hours a day, across the entire universe.

It was as if the top hackers of Punk Lord were relentlessly invading his core database without sleep.

His core database contained all the data from the planet’s birth until now, so he naturally paid one hundred percent attention.

However, under the continuous attacks of the opponent, Cyrus could also feel that his own database was slowly being infiltrated by that power.

According to his detection, the infiltration progress had reached thirty percent… Oh, no, it was now thirty-five percent.

“Is this a Punk Lordian or some other inorganic life form with nothing better to do?”

Whenever he realized this, Cyrus, who had already transformed into an inorganic life form, would feel an inexplicable surge of anger.

“If the plan succeeds, I will definitely find you, you scoundrel, and let you experience what fury is!”

Cyrus had already, in the dark, pronounced a death sentence on the unseen fellow.

————————————

On the other side, Wang Xi also sneezed several times.

Achoo! Achoo!! Achoo!!!

“Who’s talking about me?”

Wang Xi rubbed his slightly sore nose. With his physical constitution, he had basically eliminated the possibility of colds and allergies.

So the reason for his recent sneezing was definitely someone talking about him behind his back.

Could it be someone badmouthing me?

Then you better not let me catch you, because if I do, you’ll be in for a treat!

“Are you alright?”

Seeing Wang Xi’s expression suddenly turn indignant, the second captain beside him unconsciously asked with concern.

“Ah? No, I’m fine.” Wang Xi quickly indicated that he had no problems.

He had just moved the unconscious team members to the place guarded by Xi Yi, along with the Outsider members and the second captain.

“I have made a promise to you: I will manage the behavior of my subordinates and will not cause any disturbance to the patients here.”

The second captain said to Xi Yi and Wang Xi.

Xi Yi cheered unconsciously upon hearing this.

The second captain ignored her and focused her gaze on Wang Xi.

“I will trust you, but Ember also has her own persistence. Both of you are for us, so it’s not suitable for me to stand on either side.”

“Therefore, I’ve decided not to interfere in the conflict of your beliefs.”

The images in her mind, though much faded, still left an emotional impact that touched her.

However, Ember’s origin and background, as well as her actions and help, were things she naturally couldn’t ignore.

“So, I’ll just watch you, watch how far you can go.”

The second captain fixed her gaze on Wang Xi: “I hope that in the very end, you can successfully make him acknowledge the path you uphold.”

In short, both sides were fighting for their manufactured race, and she couldn’t openly favor one.

It was just that she had more faith in Wang Xi.

“Don’t worry, since I promised you, I’ll definitely do it.” Wang Xi extended his fist towards the person in front of him.

“This is a promise between me and a friend.”

The second captain was momentarily stunned when she saw Wang Xi’s gesture.

But soon, a smile appeared on her usually stern face.

“Mhm, then I’ll wait for your news here. I’ll keep an eye on you.”

And I’ll always be watching you from behind.

Their two hands met.

“I haven’t even asked your name yet.”

Although they had fought a battle, Wang Xi still didn’t know the name of the second captain in front of him.

“My name is…”

——————————————————

“Chen Yu’s communication signal has disappeared.”

At this moment, in another room, people with the same hair color were also having a conversation.

However, sitting in the middle was a woman with slightly dark red hair, who was Ember.

Beside her were two others, the captain of the guard’s personal guard and the captain of the first team.

And they were discussing the disappeared second captain, Chen Yu.

“Her communication cut off five system hours ago. The last message was: ‘Found a gathering point.’ After that, there was no news at all.”

“Gathering point? Could there be any danger inside?” The first team captain couldn’t help but ponder.

Those gathering points should be where the people of this planet and those who came for treatment congregated.

She really couldn’t imagine what danger could exist there.

“Is Cyrus hiding in there?” The personal guard captain immediately blurted out the name of the enemy they were currently searching for.

And as soon as that name was brought up, her emotions became unusually agitated: “I’ll lead my team members there to investigate right now.”

No one would have thought that she would actually be working under a scoundrel who had harmed her own kin for so long.

And she even became the captain of the personal guard.

Originally, she was proud of this job, but now that she knew the truth, she only felt that this title was stained with the blood of countless of her kin.

Therefore, she was the one who most wanted to find Cyrus immediately.

“Don’t be so anxious, Yun Qing. If Cyrus really is there, Chen Yu would have immediately issued an alert to us.”

The first team captain stopped the agitated Yun Qing: “So, the disappearance of communication is very likely due to her actively shutting it down.”

“No, Cyrus now lives in the network as an inorganic life form; he can actively shut down communications.”

Yun Qing immediately retorted, then she directly looked at Ying Wei in front of her.

“Ember, we cannot let any more of our people get hurt.”

Ember looked at his face upon hearing this: “You mean…”

“Give me a little more power; I must go there and rescue our people.”

Ember’s expression hesitated for a moment upon hearing these words: “But I don’t know if letting you accept too much of this power will lead to other consequences.”

After all, she had crawled out of a pile of death. She didn’t know if her power would have other effects on these living kin.

“But we can’t afford to worry about that now. Every minute we delay here could put Chen Yu in danger…”

Saying that, she directly came before Ember: “I must go; this is to atone for my past.”

After much thought, Ember finally agreed to her request.

On this planet, those who posed a threat to them could almost be counted on one finger.

As long as they didn’t provoke Silver Branch in another gathering point, they would essentially not encounter any enemies.

Plus, her initial plan was never to provoke conflict, but to slay her enemy and then take her kin to hide deep within the galaxy.

“Then if you can’t bear it, remember to tell me.”

With that, she took out a dark red cicada and placed it on the other person’s chest.

Dark red flames steamed above it, and the personal guard captain’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

This feeling was unprecedented. With this power, she could protect all her companions from external aggression.

“No one can stop me, no one can harm my kin!”

With that, she donned the Firefly armor and swiftly departed from the place.

Watching her disappearing back, Ember murmured, “Yun Qing, is she being a bit too reckless?”

“She’s just acting a bit impulsively due to her guilt. She’ll be fine once she calms down.”

Yun Qing said, placing something in front of Ember.

Ember looked at the object in front of her, feeling a bit confused: “What is this?”

“This is an egg roll I bought at a dessert shop on this planet. Come, try it. Although it’s not my favorite, you haven’t tried it before, have you?”

Indeed, she hadn’t tried it. At the front lines, all intake consisted of fluids necessary to sustain the body.

This was the first time she had seen something solid like this.

So, she put it in her mouth.

————————————

The fully charged Firefly armor drew a distorted trajectory across the sky, and the personal guard captain rushed almost non-stop.

Soon, she arrived at the location where Chen Yu’s communication had disappeared. There, she saw Wang Xi, who had just emerged from the building.

The ruins of the surrounding buildings indicated that an extremely astonishing battle had taken place here. She silently scanned the surroundings and compared them with the number of people in her mind.

Thirty-two people, thirty-two trenches, though some overlapped, the traces of the battle could still be clearly seen.

Everything matched up; this was where Chen Yu’s squad had been wiped out.

“Tell me, who caused these ruins?”

“Me.” Wang Xi smiled: “Could there be anyone else here besides me?”

“It’s you?!” The personal guard captain’s emotions spiraled out of control in an instant.

“Are you also a dog of that Cyrus guy?!”

Flames surged around her body, and in a flash, she transformed into a fiery red meteor, charging towards Wang Xi.

She was no longer willing to lose any more companions; she was no longer willing for any more companions to be injured.

This wish, intertwined with her eagerness to atone, made her pupils turn even more crimson!

And Wang Xi, facing the charging fiery red meteor, activated his engine.

At the same time, a mysterious field spread outwards…
