On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

First of all, as a warrior with the power of money, his entire body is equipped with the most advanced A-grade cybernetic body, including the Titan IX military-grade spine, the Black Unicorn IV power-enhanced limb cybernetic body, the Asura III electronic eagle eye, and even the super A-grade sixty-four-drive twelve-core "Kyle" terminal processor, which is equipped with a complete set of top mercenary killer combat chips, enough to make him take on dozens of super security guards by himself without any problem.

Secondly, these powerful personal abilities are only for dealing with emergencies. Most of the time, he never takes action himself; his "Gladiator II" mechanical warriors are sufficient to handle the situation.

That's right, just like the name of the mechanical warrior, the Gladiator series is a new advanced mechanical warrior developed by Kyle Technology based on their exploration of the Dragon Realm and the gladiators of the old era who fought a series of bloody battles in the arena.

They were all equipped with "Gladiator" markings, which made them different from other security robots. Soon after being summoned by him, they were awakened from the hangar and rushed out. They were mechanical gladiators who were more than two meters tall, with alloy steel skeletons all over their bodies, holding a barrier shield in their left hand and an electromagnetic spear in their right hand.

With these ancient warriors from the old world around, subduing the two mechanical maids will be no problem at all. Yes, he certainly can't actually kill them; he has to subdue them! Then he can reclaim the twins, modify them, and turn them into his possessions!

Of course, just in case, he still has one last absolute escape route.

He carefully took out a pill from his pocket.

This is none other than the top-secret achievement that Kyle Technology obtained from the "Witch" war zone: the holy medicine of the First Nun who served the Ash Emperor in the old world and is now the Saintess Sthiuthia!

Because the restoration was extremely difficult, even with the company's vast resources, he only managed to develop this one copy by analyzing the nun's data in the Zero Dream.

Although they hadn't tried this particular dose of medicine before, since there was only one available, they could tell from the previous witch war zone, where the little nun who hadn't yet become a witch, that the other party possessed powerful healing abilities. Not to mention, who doesn't know the name of the Holy Kingdom's goddess, Sthitia, these days? Therefore, he never doubted its efficacy. It would probably be an exaggeration to say that it could heal bones and bring the dead back to life; it was an absolute trump card for survival.

Even if he really messed up, as long as he had this "Saintess's Medicine," he couldn't die. He could even receive the Saintess's blessing and gain a leap in explosive power! That was the reason for his confidence.

He might not win.

But we absolutely cannot lose!

Chapter 270 What are you going to do!

"Commander, the route has been re-optimized based on the real-time situation. We are currently 653 meters away from the central hangar."

The killer's voice carried a hint of excitement. In Kyle Technology's central server room, some of the consciousness chips of their servants were stored. As long as these were retrieved and connected to the commander's consciousness, the tens of thousands of sisters in the dream could be freed.

Now, she is only 600 meters away from the goal she is striving for.

“Worried. Master, 86 senses that Kyle Technology’s defenses are weakening, which is not normal.”

Compared to the killer's excitement, 86, who was by Liao Ji's side, always put Liao Ji first. Unlike the killer, who was obsessed with achieving his goal, 86 cared more about Liao Ji's safety.

From the moment they crashed into the building until they stormed into the central server room from the outside, the company's various unmanned security vehicles were initially swarming in, firing wildly at them in an attempt to stop them.

In just a few minutes, the firepower of many of Kyle Technology's drones and security equipment was greatly reduced, and the number of reinforcements from the rear also began to decrease sharply.

86 realized this, which is why he became even more vigilant.

The maid had barely finished speaking when the killer clearing the way ahead seemed to be struck by some enormous force, followed by a violent explosion. The killer was forced back several meters, tumbling through the air before finally managing to land.

After the thick smoke from the explosion dissipated, a large hole was blasted open in the wall beside the murderer. Then, a mechanical skeleton, over two meters tall, wielding long hair and a round shield, emerged from the hole, bending over.

The spear in his hand was still crackling with electromagnetic sparks, and the muzzle was red-hot with white smoke drifting from it. Clearly, the electromagnetic cannon shot that had just forced back the killer had been fired from here.

These mechanical warriors were clearly different from the security machines they had just seen, and they gave Liao Ji a strong sense of déjà vu, just like the gladiators in the arena of Jiu You's evil dragon dream.

As the mechanical gladiators appeared, the killer frowned. If it were just one, it would be fine, although it would be troublesome, but it still wouldn't stop her. However, a second and a third emerged from the large hole in the wall. It wasn't until there were seven mechanical gladiators in total that the matter was finally over.

The seven mechanical gladiators formed a semi-circle, completely blocking the already small corridor and obstructing Liao Ji's path forward. Behind them, a man in a high-class uniform was now looking at the two mechanical maids in front of Liao Ji with burning eyes through his gold-rimmed glasses.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Dr. Liao Ji, right?" Under the protection of the seven mechanical gladiators, the young director reluctantly shifted his gaze from 86 and the killer to Liao Ji.

"Don't rush into action. We don't necessarily have to become enemies. Doctor, you should have sensed it. A few minutes ago, I withdrew all the security forces here. Now it's just us. No one else will stop us. Of course, with your hacker maid's intrusion, all the surveillance is paralyzed, and the board members won't know what happened here."

"In other words, I now have the final say on how to deal with you. Dr. Liao Ji's goal is probably the central computer room, right? As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, it is not impossible for you to have a smooth journey to the computer room and get what you want. After all, I am different from those old guys in the company. I don't care much about the company."

Even under these circumstances, the young director seemed to be trying to maintain his debonair demeanor, not allowing the seven mechanical gladiators to directly attack Liao Ji, but instead... started negotiating.

Although Liao Ji didn't know the reason for the other party's composure and confidence, he was still quite curious and asked before making a move:

What do you want to cooperate with me on?

"It's very simple. Dr. Liao, just give me your method of controlling your mechs, along with the two mechs beside you."

At this point, the young director turned his undisguised and naked gaze toward 86 and the murderer.

The Servant is a perfect machine, and also a perfect woman. She is the clone of "Zero," the founder of the Machine Alliance and the first super android.

Human beings, made of flesh and blood, are so fragile and vulnerable, with aging skin, degenerated organs, and a mind that is forever suspicious and uncontrollable—this is a lower form of being.

Machinery, machinery is perfect. They are sturdy, they are durable, and the luster of their metal reflection is the most beautiful skin. The intricately rotating gears inside are a million times more beautiful than ugly, writhing organs. Even if something breaks down, it can be replaced at any time.

Of course, the most important thing is

Machines have no heart.

Once the corresponding program is set, they will serve him forever, asking for no reward, only giving. No matter how he vents his desires on them, they will remain steadfast. Is there any better slave in the world to replace them?

Thinking about this, the young director's expression became fanatical.

Liao Ji could tell from his appearance that this young director's body was at least 50% cybernetic. In the Dream City environment, there were indeed many people who despised flesh and blood and believed in machines.

Unfortunately.

"Then you'll probably be disappointed, after all, they are the sisters of the most important people in my life."

Liao Ji shook his head.

The young director on the other side reacted strongly after hearing this, especially when Liao Ji described them as humanized "younger sisters".

"Hehehe, Dr. Liao Ji, you have disappointed me greatly. I thought you were like me, someone who appreciated the beauty of mechanics, but now I realize that you are just like those pedantic humans. Emotions are nothing but garbage and superfluous to machines. You! You are not worthy of them at all!!"

"Go! Kill him! Remember, you absolutely cannot damage their core chips!"

The one who needs to be killed is Liao Ji, and the ones who cannot be destroyed are 86 and the murderer.

It seems this young master is quite fascinated by mechanical maids.

In that case

Liao Ji decided to see things through to the end.

The conversation with the young master was just something Liao Ji did while investigating these mechanical gladiators. Now he understands more or less the source of the young master's confidence. These seven mechanical gladiators are indeed technology brought out by Kyle Technology from the Evil Dragon Dream, a mark of gladiators from the old era.

Their strength is indeed considerable. Although they are not Evil Transformers, each of them possesses strength close to that of a mid-level Dangerous Rank. With all seven of them combined, they might not be able to put up a fight against a Calamity-level Evil Transformer.

Unfortunately, what the other side didn't know was that in the gladiatorial arena of the old world, no matter how many gladiators were added together, they couldn't compare to that one person. Or rather, she was the shadow in the hearts of all gladiators, the only queen of the arena.

“Master, I’m ready,” 86 said tenderly.

The light of the dragon's brand flickered from behind 86, but what concerned the young board member even more was...

"What are you all going to do?!"

Under the perplexed and tense questioning of the young director, Liao Ji then activated his branding ability, embracing the youth with 86.

The young director's gaze immediately turned to astonishment and disbelief, for he saw the mechanical maid's body rapidly disintegrate and recombine, transforming into pieces of crimson armor, which were then implanted onto Liao Ji's body.

"No, no, no! No—!"

"How...how...how did you do that! How did you do it! This is impossible! This, damn it!! That's mine! It belongs to me!! Who allowed you to enter her body!!"

Watching 86 transform into a crimson mecha resembling a fiery dragon, the young director's infatuation and longing were so intense that he was almost completely captivated, as if he were seeing the most beautiful woman's body in the world.

However, when he thought about how the mecha pilot inside was Liao Ji, not him, it felt like his beloved goddess was being taken by another man right in front of him.

Such jealousy and anger were something the young director, who had always had a smooth life, had never experienced before. He became furious, his chest heaving violently as if he were about to explode, and his finger pointing at Liao Ji trembled.

Chapter 271 I told you not to eat anymore

"Drag him out! Drag that bastard out of her body right now!!"

Amid the young director's furious roar, the seven mechanical gladiators, who had been diligently and obediently following orders just moments before, suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing! Didn't you hear my order?!"

Seeing the sluggish mechanical gladiators, the young director became even angrier. This had never happened before. And then, he actually saw a hint of fear in these mechanical gladiators.

The young director doubted his eyes for a moment, but the sight of the mechanical gladiators who began to retreat under the opponent's crimson mechs, even ignoring the mechanical gladiators who were supposed to protect him, was the most resounding slap in the face to him.

"Charge! Charge now!"

The hot-tempered young director even kicked the steel skeleton of the gladiator next to him, but to no avail.

until

"Go back."

Another command was issued, but this time it came not from the young director, but from the Red Dragon Mech.

After the order was given, the gladiators, who had been unable to be commanded by the young director, suddenly obeyed as if they had heard a royal decree. They straightened up, clashed their long spears and round shields together as if in salute, and then turned around without hesitation and returned to the way they had come.

"return!"

"Where are you all going!"

"I am your master, come back here!!"

No matter how much the young director roared, in reality, in less than a few breaths, the passage that had just been blocked by seven mechanical gladiators was now completely blocked, leaving Liao Ji alone on the other side.

"We know! You hacked into their system! Damn it! Just how much old-world technology do you possess?!"

"It's okay, I still have... I still have a way!"

First, he suffered the huge blow of his goddess being penetrated by someone else, and now he has been betrayed by the machine he trusted. The young director's mentality has become very distorted, and he has begun to go crazy and disregard everything.

He quickly took out a pill that emitted a halo from his pocket. The capsule under the holy light was like a stimulant for his broken heart, allowing him to regain some of his radiance.

"It's just old-world technology, isn't it? Don't think you're the only one who has it!"

"What, judging from your appearance, you also know about this 'Saintess's Elixir'? Hahaha!"

When the young director saw Liao Ji looking at the pill in his hand with a surprised expression, he felt as if all the previous setbacks had been recovered, and he suddenly felt extremely satisfied.

After all, in terms of rarity, his "Holy Maiden's Medicine" is definitely one of the top treasures in the Zero Dream. The best proof is that they have not yet found even one person in the Zero Dream who has ever taken the Holy Medicine!

This suggests that this sacred medicine is likely only worthy of being taken by an "Emperor"!

The next young director was like a victim of NTR (Netorare, a form of sexual assault), finally having the opportunity to unleash his inner power. Naturally, he wanted to take revenge on the blond-haired guy and show off in front of him.

"You should also know that the five Turbid Calamity Kings of Zero Dream are all based on the five emperors' personal guards in reality, right? Legend has it that when the young emperor was seriously injured and trapped among the Turbid Calamity monsters, the nun who was with him condensed all her holy light power into a holy medicine and personally fed it to the emperor. Not only did the seriously injured emperor come back to life, but his strength also increased dramatically. He swept away millions of Turbid Calamity monsters all by himself!"

Liao Ji: "."

How come he doesn't remember this part?

Seeing Liao Ji remain silent, the young director thought he was actually shocked, so he laughed even harder, his smugness practically overflowing.

"That's right, the one in my hand is the sacred medicine that the nun offered to the Emperor back then. It was a sacred medicine that only the 'Ash Emperor' was worthy of enjoying. And now, it's in my hands, and it will become my power! I will receive the same treatment as the 'Ash Emperor'!!"
