KING kept shouting in his heart. Perhaps because of his excitement, in this quiet conference room, his heartbeat like a drum gradually became stronger and clearer.

"Boom--boom--boom!"

"It's the Emperor Engine." Bang looked at the man opposite him wearing a hat and with three scars on his face, and asked doubtfully, "Does the King think there's something wrong with the girl in the light curtain?"

According to legend, KING is extremely powerful. Whenever he encounters a strong enemy, his heartbeat will be as strong as a car engine - that is both his declaration of battle and the death knell for countless monsters.

As if she suddenly became interested, Tornado slowly raised her two round and slender legs, and placed them on the desk, one above and one below. She supported her chin with one hand, and stared at the "strongest man in the world" opposite her, KING, who had his hat brim lowered, and was low-key and mysterious.

"KING, what exactly did you sense from the light curtain? Why would you activate the Emperor Engine in such an environment?"

Tornado raised his head slightly and looked at Clara's jade-white face in the light curtain.

"Is there anything special about this girl?"

Chapter 48 KING, have you seen through Clara’s hidden true strength?

"Well, this girl is very cute—"

KING blurted out subconsciously, but stopped before he finished speaking.

A bean-sized bead of sweat slid down KING's forehead from the edge of his hair, which was barely noticeable under the brim of his hat.

"Phew, that was a close call. I almost followed Tornado's words and praised the girl for being cute. It would be hard to cover it up later." KING said secretly in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had survived a disaster.

"But... what do you mean? King, why don't you finish what you're saying?" Tornado asked with a frown. She really didn't like the Riddler's speaking style; it was exactly like King's elusive fighting style.

"KING must be saying that girl named Clara is scary, right?" Metal Bat added. "KING has been through countless battles and must have come into contact with those seemingly weak but actually very dangerous monsters."

"So...KING is saying that the weakness displayed by this girl named Clara is just a disguise?"

The Pig God opened his mouth in shock, and at the same time stuffed a handful of potato chips into his open mouth.

"That's right. I saw Clara standing with that robot named Swarovski before. Swarovski was quite friendly to her. In my opinion, the combat power of that big robot may be comparable to that of Drive Knight..." Bang said as he looked at the pitch-black mechanical cyborg in the corner of the conference room.

Drive Knight didn't say anything, nor did he express any opinion. He just nodded calmly.

"Anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong must also be a strong person... So that's how it is. Is this the true hidden strength of Clara? She really deserves to be the KING." The Vest Venerable exclaimed in admiration.

Sitting diagonally opposite KING was Atomic Samurai. He hugged his samurai sword tightly, staring at the light screen and Clara's harmless little expression, cold sweat sliding down his forehead like rain.

Strange...why didn't he see that Clara was hiding something?

Wasn't she just an ordinary girl? Her expression, demeanor, eyes, the movements of her hands and feet... Even though he observed her closely, he couldn't detect the slightest clue.

But why can KING see it?

Could it be that the gap between them is so big that—

The more Atomic Samurai thought about it, the more horrified he became. The more horrified he became, the more he couldn't help but think about it. When he came to his senses, cold sweat had unknowingly soaked his samurai uniform.

He simply gave up thinking, as if he had just experienced a great war. He lay exhausted on the chair, looking tiredly at the "strongest man in the world" who had lowered the brim of his hat and remained motionless from beginning to end.

"...What a low-key and terrifying man."

"Both sides exchanged some medicine and left Rivet Town."

"After successfully handing over the medicine, Natasha said Oleg was looking for them for something, and Danheng and Sanyueqi had already gone."

"When he arrived at Oleg's place, March Seventh seemed to have finally found someone to talk to. He waved happily, "Here, here, you're finally back."

"Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point—" Oleg paused. "Your target is the star core, ours is breaking through the blockade of the lower regions. In other words, our target is Svaro. Unless we take down that 'Big Boss', everything else is just nonsense."

"Maybe we can find a way to get him on our side if the situation changes..." Xing suggested using courtesy before force."

"Hmph, he's a robot, what does he understand? The fastest way is to just chop that piece of scrap metal!" Xier suggested going straight for the fight.

"Oleg agrees with Xing's opinion, but Swarovski is never willing to talk to them, so the chances of a solution being solved through talk therapy are low."

"After carefully planning the plan, Oleg asked Xi'er to go with Xing and the others, and asked a member of the Earth Fire to lead them."

"When everyone arrived at the place Oleg had agreed upon, standing there was... the dark Lord Huk."

“…Wait, Hook?” Seele said in surprise.

"Yes, it's me, Dark Hook! What do you want from me?" Hook was terrified when he saw a group of adults surrounding her for no apparent reason.

“Uh, kid, it must be a misunderstanding…”

"Old Sambo reappeared from nowhere and stood behind Hook, a look of sadness on his face. "Oleg asked me to show you the way... This really hurts me. You even thought of such a young child, but not me?"

"Alright, alright, why bother with this? Since the boss asked you to come here, just lead the way." Xier waved her hands impatiently.

"Okay, then you better follow closely."

"After a while of trekking, the surrounding landscape began to change from an undulating terrain dotted with mines and tracks to a vast expanse of snow."

"The snow is littered with dilapidated robots. Some are rusted, parts scattered across the ground; others are half-buried in the snow, with only their outlines visible. The further we go, the more mechanical wreckage we find."

"There are so many robots here. It would be great if I could turn them into my army." Anbesa played with the dagger in her hand. She was paying attention to the progress of the three people on the train. After all, what they saw and heard along the way broadened her horizons.

After seeing the powerful robots in the lower area, Anbesa started to think - she had never thought before that a thing made of a pile of iron blocks could exert such terrifying power.

Robots that look like fists can fight and explode, and robots with traffic lights on their heads seem to be able to withstand any attack. If these machines can be applied to the battlefield, wouldn't her army be invincible?

It seems... it's time to go to Piltover to visit my daughter.

"Sangbo...are we there yet?" Sanyueqi asked impatiently again after walking for who knows how long."

"Sister, you don't ask me every minute, do you? Just two more steps, two more steps forward and we'll be there." Sambo was also tired of being asked."

"In the distant snowy plains, tents of all sizes can be vaguely seen. As we go deeper, we see not only more robots but also more people. Here, humans and machines seem to have reached a certain balance, making it quite lively."

"Alright, this is Swarovski's lair—the Mechanical Settlement."

Chapter 49: Deputy Section Chief, just tell me whether they are a good match or not?

"After passing the wanderers who had set up camp, the group discovered a locked gate at the entrance to the Svarro base."

"What a heavy door...Okay, watch me!" Sanyueqi suddenly became excited, with his hands on his hips: "Zhima~Open~the~door~"

"Sangbo, who was standing behind him, raised his lips slightly, looking completely amused. Danheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, unable to bear the sight."

"What's that? A password?" Bronya actually expected the door to slowly open.

"A command from a fairy tale wouldn't work here." Although his companions were embarrassed, Dan Heng still had to explain in a serious manner.

"Hahahahaha, Kazuma, Mitsuki is so stupid! There are actually people in this world who use fairy tale passwords to open doors, hahahahaha!" Aqua laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

"Shut up, you're hurting my eyes!"

Kazuma stared at the light screen with an infatuated look on his face: "Although Mitsuki is silly, she is really cute. If I could go on an adventure with her..." Then he changed the subject and looked at a mentally retarded goddess who was spraying water with a fan in the tavern: "She is obviously much more capable than Aqua, okay?!"

“Kazuma, you bastard! This goddess is obviously more powerful!”

"Xing turned to look at Sambo: "Where's the clue we promised you?"

"Sangbo explained in detail how to authenticate this door. Although it was a little troublesome, the group finally obtained the authentication without any trouble after finding the trial robot."

"Go back to the front door and put the verification card into the combination lock."

"March Seventh shouted happily again: "Zhima~Open~the~door~"

"This time, the door opened in response, and little Sanyue happily walked in first."

"Sambo followed at the end and couldn't help but take credit for it: "See, I, old Sambo, am still quite useful—"

"However, before he could finish his words, he realized he had taken credit too early—because there was actually another door inside, and the structure of this door was even more complicated than the first one!"

"'Sambo, what's going on... Sambo? Where's he?" Xier turned around and found that Sambo had already run away."

"Eh? Where did this guy go? He was just here?" Sanyueqi was also puzzled. She knew Sambo could run, but she didn't expect him to be so capable of running without leaving even a footprint on the snow."

"I'm used to it." Dan Heng said with a nonchalant expression.

"Sambo's escape skills are really top-notch." Kaia exclaimed.

"Yeah, I still don't understand how he managed to carry four people to the lower area alone. In a sense, he is definitely a genius in escape." Lisa briefly imagined it, and the picture in her mind was indeed a bit abstract.

Keli's eyes widened with envy: "If Keli could escape like Uncle Sambo, she wouldn't have been caught by Captain Qin!"

Kaiya laughed heartily. "Keli, from now on, you can only say things like this when Captain Jean isn't around."

"Besides, haven't you noticed?" Eula suddenly said, "That boy Sambo seems to be quite perceptive. When he encounters any danger, he will run away immediately."

"If such a person were in Mondstadt, Grand Commander Falgar would definitely take him with him. If that kid Sambo tries to escape halfway, it means the expedition team is about to encounter danger!"

"Come to think of it, I don't know where the Grand Commander is on his expedition right now..."

"Just then, a small robot came over and, after checking, confirmed that they didn't have individual access rights. Clara was the only one who could apply for access."

"Clara? Ah, that little girl we met in the big mining area. Who is she? Why do we need to ask her for permission?" March Seven was puzzled.

"She is Swarovski's master," Xing said without hesitation.

"Uh..." Bronya was speechless. "They're family, right? Did you really remember it wrong or did you do it on purpose?"

"It was intentional!" Xing puffed out his chest, feeling confident and justified.

"Family... uh, I don't quite understand." Sanyueqi held his forehead.

"Speaking of which, the few people who appeared in this light curtain...seemed to have tragic life stories, except for Dan Heng." Yue Chengliu showed a look of pity.

Sanyueqi has lost his memories, Xing has also lost his memory, and Danheng's situation is still unknown. But considering he's so young and has ventured out into the world, I'm afraid his relationship with his family isn't good either. Seele and Bronya were once orphaned, their biological parents are both deceased... and their only adoptive mother is constantly putting pressure on them.

Alas...it seems that life is also difficult for people in another world.

In the other world, they have to face the cold wave, while in real life, they have to face the erosion of the ever-expanding void.

"You need to think differently, Vice Section Chief." Asaba Yuma put his hands behind his back. "In fantasy novels nowadays, things like amnesia and the orphanage of both parents are standard features for the protagonist. When they lose their memory, they can enjoy a life of luxury."

"Huh? What does that mean?" Yue Chengliu tilted her head in confusion. Due to her work, she has always lacked knowledge of novels and movies.

Asaba Yuma explained carefully:

"Look, Xing has lost her memory. She harvested the Star Core, right? The Cancer of All Worlds! Not only can she take Doommon's lasers with her face, but she's also completely unscathed. She can even kill Doommon with a single blow!"

"Also, although San Yue Qi has lost her memory, she has gained the ability of Six-phase Ice, which allows her to freeze and protect her teammates at will. Combined with her archery skills, she's pretty powerful, right?"

"It's unclear whether Dan Heng's parents are still alive, but at this point, they're definitely not ordinary! He's so young, yet he has such smooth spearmanship. He must have been taught one-on-one by a renowned teacher. His family must be either wealthy or noble!"

Asaba Yuzhen kept talking, and Yuecheng Liu felt that it seemed to be true. The three people in the train crew were indeed not simple.

So she asked, "What about Seele and Bronya? Both of their biological parents are gone. One has suffered hardships since childhood in the lower district, and the other is under pressure every day in the upper district. It seems..."

"NONONO! Deputy Section Chief, you are completely wrong."

Asaba Yuma swung his nimble index finger back and forth, and said seriously, "...They are in love!"

Yue Chengliu:? ? ?

But...it seems to make some sense!

Asaba Yuma had a confident expression on his face. "Just tell me if they're a good match, right? I remember when Seele and Bronya were walking together outside the orphanage looking at the stars not long ago... Deputy Section Chief, you're the one secretly laughing the most in the office, right?"

Chapter 50 Alechino: Dotole, could you please stop going crazy at Xing?

"Xing asked the robots that arrived and learned that Clara had gone to Rivet Town again to get repair materials. With no other choice, they had to return to Rivet Town to look for someone."

"But soon after arriving in Rivet Town, Clara was found cornered by a giant monster. The robot beside her was shattered, and the monster's fireball was ready to be released!"

""not good!"."

"Bronya screamed in shock. She instinctively raised her rifle, but just as her finger touched the trigger, a figure appeared, faster than her bullet!"

"Seele's lithe figure danced gracefully on the Rift Monster, like a fluttering blue butterfly."

"The scythe in her hand swirled like the wind, leaving behind a few blurry afterimages in the air. It was as if time had been frozen in that moment by her movements... As the butterfly began to flutter its wings, the dense scars on the monster's body emerged."

"This girl is so amazing..."

Kasumibushi Tokito Muichiro was carefully observing Xier's every move through the light curtain. It was a pity that the light curtain did not have a playback function, otherwise he really wanted to watch the moves that Xier used to kill the monster over and over again hundreds of times.

When dealing with the wanderers earlier, Muichiro had only thought this girl was quite formidable. After all, defeating a few wanderers wasn't exactly a commendable feat—even without the Pillars taking action, their stepson could easily accomplish that.

But he killed a monster of this size in such a short time - it felt like just a blink of an eye, and the battle was over.

People from the other world don't have breathing techniques, yet they can unleash their physical potential to this extent... Muichiro just finds it incredible.

The seventh form of Kasumi's Breathing - Halo, uses agile movements and large differences in speed to disrupt the opponent. When this move is practiced to the extreme, the opponent will often have the illusion of seeing a clone.

He had used this trick against Yu Hu before, but even though he had awakened the markings, he could only leave one or two afterimages to confuse Yu Hu.
