Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this point, the Hell Roar couldn’t even be called a pistol anymore—it was a literal hand cannon. Only with Lu Ce's current strength could he wield it as if it were part of his own body.
A normal grenade launcher would need ti to cool down and reload between shots, but not Lu Ce!
Ignoring recoil, the roaring muzzle stayed dead still, stable like a hacked ga!
To be fair, Lu Ce was cheating.
But since the ga didn’t ban anyone, it didn’t matter.
The thunderous blasts ca one after another. Every piece of tal machinery in the Initial Room, along with huge chunks of concrete, was blasted into the air, piling up in front of Tom.
But the piled-up debris was practically useless. That massive-looking barrier couldn’t take much cannon fire. Under Lu Ce’s relentless assault, it didn’t stand a chance—the entire room was choked with smoke and dust.
tal fragnts and snapped cables were everywhere, making the room nearly impossible to see in, let alone stand in.
Even Tom, with his iron shell and built-in power shock system, was being pushed back step by step by the force, struggling just to stay upright!
Jiu Tian had already carried Kirk off, dumping the injured guy in a corner and walking through the room in his boots, looking for a chance to help.
Tom’s iron plating was now covered in dents and gashes. The intense bombardnt even caused the edges to peel back. Another booming shot ripped off the shoulder armor entirely!
A low, pained growl ca from Tom’s mouth. Forced to, for the first ti, he tried to dodge—his treaded feet speeding him to higher ground on a nearby slope.
Beneath the torn-off armor was a human shoulder—no skin, completely charred!
The degree of charring clearly wasn’t from Lu Ce’s blasts. It was like he had originally welded himself to that outer layer of iron!
Whatever this guy was underneath the shell... was getting harder and harder to define.
“I knew it—grilled flavor!”
Lu Ce’s voice ca from afar. He wasn’t giving the guy a second to breathe. That hand cannon of his kept roaring like ammo was free—only 0.5% energy used per shot.
He could fire a hundred rounds!
“You modified your body too?!”
Tom lifted his head, dodging and blocking as he looked at the still-advancing Lu Ce, his voice filled with disbelief.
In his eyes, Lu Ce wasn’t even human anymore.
It wasn’t like only Lu Ce had been attacking—Tom had fought back too!
So many iron spikes—no matter how agile, no one could’ve dodged them all!
In Tom’s plan, he’d tank a round of cannon fire and when he opened his view again, the other guy should’ve been basically dead.
But now all his iron spikes were nearly used up, and Lu Ce’s cannon was still firing non-stop.
This guy’s defense was insane?
But then Tom took a closer look—and froze.
Lu Ce hadn’t dodged at all.
Four or five iron spikes were sticking out of his body like a scarecrow. He didn’t care at all, just pushing forward.
The broken spikes were covered in blood. Bone glead white from his exposed shoulder, making Jiu Tian’s teeth ache just looking at it.
Was this human?
What kind of combat resolve was this?!
His gut, shoulder, thigh—all had been pierced through by iron spikes. Injuries like that would’ve taken any normal person out of the fight.
But for Lu Ce...
It was just:
【Pain Points 7, 6...】
The Cloak of Illusion shielded his vital chest area. As for his head, the Gluttony Mask was the best defense.
As long as it wasn’t an instant kill, there was no stopping him.
Jiu Tian couldn’t even fathom this level of pain. Even if the guy was ntally broken and didn’t care about pain, he shouldn’t be able to move like this.
Boom!
As if answering that thought, another shot rang out. Tom, caught off guard, was sent flying into the wall.
“Hey... comrade, your neck’s kinda gushing blood.”
Jiu Tian spoke cautiously to Lu Ce, scalp tingling with nerves.
Who could bla him? The scene in front of him was far beyond his understanding.
The staff who had been providing intel and analysis were dead silent now—they had hit a total knowledge wall.
This guy’s solo combat power... probably matched an entire squad ard with hot weapons...
Since joining the Ga, no one had seen sothing like this. No one was ready for it ntally.
Was this... still even a person?
“Hm?”
Lu Ce touched his neck—his fingers ca away red.
“No big deal, didn’t hit an artery.”
He said it like it was nothing, then tilted his head back and downed a bottle of Interdiate Healing Potion.
Instantly, all his wounds stopped bleeding and began to magically heal.
“If it had hit an artery... I’d probably need an Advanced Healing Potion.”
He laughed as he spoke, then casually yanked an iron spike from his gut and chucked it right back at Tom!
Tom dodged in an instant—he didn’t dare take that hit.
The spike slamd into the wall with a boom, blasting a hole in it. That throw was nearly as powerful as the cannon itself.
One by one, Lu Ce pulled out the spikes embedded in his body and used them as fresh ammo, launching them at Tom and forcing the iron-skinned robot into a panicked scramble.
“What’re you dodging for?!”
“Weren’t we supposed to go head-to-head?!”
Lu Ce looked seriously annoyed at his opponent’s behavior.
Tom cursed loudly, “Who the f**k said that?!”
“You think I’m the sa as you...”
Wait a minute—shouldn’t I have the higher defense...
Which one of us is the robot again?
After the whole “which one of us is ntally ill” thing, this was the second existential crisis popping up in Tom’s head.
“Look in the eye, b*stard!”
Lu Ce sent another blast straight at him. Tom blocked it with a tal plate drawn in via electromagnetism, but it left him dizzy—right as an iron spike followed up, launched right into his chest.
Zzzz!
That tooth-grinding screech of tal-on-tal—and the spike nailed Tom square in the chest.
His expression changed instantly. He raised a hand—and the floor under Lu Ce’s feet suddenly rose, slamming him into the ceiling. The ceiling collapsed, pancaking him back to the floor.
“You... want to die!”
Tom’s eyes burst with a savage light, like soone had hit a nerve. The entire ward twisted with rage!
The surface layer of bricks peeled off every wall. The inner tal and steel reinforcents surged wildly, piling onto Tom and building up higher and higher...
“You say that, but weren’t we trying to kill each other from the start...”
