Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Would a mechanic really risk infiltrating alone like that?

Totally unnecessary.

Keynes quickly turned around.

All that could be seen was a huge drill bit that forcefully pushed against them from behind.

hum-

The drill bit is rotating at high speed.

Countless dazzling ribbons of light stretched around it.

At that moment, all Keynes could see were those blue and white stripes.

Bang bang bang!

One by one, the roulette wheels flew out.

But those sturdy discs are no different from fragile paper plates in front of a large drill bit; they shatter at the slightest touch.

The next second, the drill broke through the encirclement and arrived in front of Keynes.

The blue and white light bands rushed towards Keynes like tentacles, and Keynes had no way to dodge them. He roared and swung his fists.

The violent explosion completely enveloped Keynes's body.

The spilled energy unleashed a massive storm with no end in sight, instantly overturning the atmosphere of the artificial continent.

Those areas with weak protection were also blown down like wheat, and some were even left without even a speck of dust.

This tragic scene came into An Ran's view.

She did not rashly send out probes to check on Keynes's condition.

However, one can roughly deduce Keynes's situation simply by observing the damage values ​​flashing in the explosion's light.

Anran was pretty good at math; she added some numbers and found that Keynes's health points dropped by a third.

While they might not be fatal on the spot, their actions will certainly be subject to many restrictions.

Call ~

At this moment, Charlene, who had just entered the square in front of the museum, breathed a sigh of relief.

She was actually gambling.

She bet that she could withstand Keynes's attack, and that Keynes would turn around to deal with it after noticing the attack triggered by the psionic orb behind him.

Clearly, she made the right bet this time.

Charlene clenched her fist.

She turned and was about to rush into the museum.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

"Do you think you can kill me like this?"

Light flickered in the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion.

A moment later, Keynes emerged from the dust and smoke, covered in blood.

His face was contorted in a ferocious expression, and his eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

Want to go to a museum?

Ha ha.

Keynes gave a cold laugh.

If Charlene is left unattended, the Lemeta Staircase will fall into her hands.

If attacked directly, the museum, including the Le Metta staircase, could be damaged.

Keynes chose the latter.

As long as Charlene is killed, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Keynes activated his power-enhancing skill without hesitation. Flames flashed above his head, and in a daze, Keynes seemed to transform into a Super Saiyan.

He raised his hands high.

The enormous roulette wheel floating above their hands also resembled a Spirit Bomb.

"Let's all die together!" Keynes roared.

He just threw the roulette wheel out like that.

It has the potential to cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split open.

Charlene's eyes widened in horror.

The roulette wheel was falling incredibly fast.

"Damn it."

Charlene cursed under her breath.

She quickly hacked into the museum's security system.

Time was of the essence; she only had time to breach the outer layer of the system.

wow——

A thin protective shield was erected above the museum.

boom!

The next second, the roulette wheel slammed into the protective shield. The wheel spun rapidly, and orange-red sparks kept shooting out of the shield.

Until a crack suddenly appeared on the protective shield, the leaked sharp energy stung Charlene's face.

Am I going to die here?

Charlene was pale.

She still has tasks to complete.

She felt a wave of despair.

After gritting her teeth, Charlene immediately sent a signal outwards.

It seems that Plan A, which involves intercepting the Lemeta Staircase, is impossible to complete. In that case, we can only quickly notify the others to switch to Plan B.

If you don't have the Lemesta Stairs, then you absolutely must get the blueprints.

The signal was transmitted successfully, and Charlene shook her head.

There's no time left.

The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.

But at that moment, Charlene suddenly detected an energy fluctuation behind Keynes.

It was a shadow reflected in the black starry sky of the small world.

"!"

The shadows burst forth.

What Charlene saw was clearly a giant humanoid monster.

Like an evil spirit.

Then, the evil spirit stretched out its right hand toward Keynes, who was consumed by rage.

The right hand moved very steadily and very quickly.

It happened so fast that by the time Keynes noticed the disturbance, it was too late to dodge.

puff!

The evil spirit's right arm pierced straight through Keynes's chest and emerged from the front.

Keynes spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face turned pale instantly.

My chest is empty.

There was no blood, nor any bits of flesh.

When the evil spirit withdrew its arm, Charlene saw an empty hole and a heart still beating strongly beside it.

"Ahhh-"

Clutching his chest, Keynes let out a piercing scream.

He snapped out of his initial daze, and at that moment, pain quickly overwhelmed his five senses.

Anran nodded with satisfaction.

This critical hit reduced Keynes' health to half in one hit, and various negative buffs began to appear on him.

"cough……"

Keynes coughed up another mouthful of blood.

He still didn't turn around this time.

Turning back won't help.

Given his current condition, there's no way he could survive being sandwiched between An Ran and Sha Lin. Since that's the case, he might as well take someone down with him.

Keynes stared intently at Charlene.

"Haha... If someone hadn't ambushed you, you'd be a corpse by now... cough... But even if someone did ambush you... I'd still kill you!"

boom!

With a furious roar, Keynes was engulfed in flames once more.

The chest that had been destroyed regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the face that was once as pale as paper now had a healthy rosy color.

He doesn't agree!

That's right.
