Chapter 125: G2 Arrives, Flames Erupt
The mechanical human was nearly three meters tall. Its armored head had only one electronic eye, the rest of its body entirely encased in metal, as if wearing an ancient battle helmet. Its body, forged from dark black metal, appeared to wear ancient armor, with tough lines, cool and stern appearance, and perfect proportions, resembling a ferocious gorilla, or even the powerful Gundams seen in movies. Most striking, it bore a large broadsword on its back and wore a tattered leather cloak, giving it the air of a distinguished general. Its two arms were strikingly scarlet, as if ablaze.
At this moment, the mechanical human charged violently towards him like a heavy truck at full throttle.
"Hey, big guy, state your name."
King took a deep breath. He wasn't particularly afraid; after all, he held a Four-Star Class Monster card and a full-level character card of himself. Unless he encountered someone like Boros, it would be difficult to provoke his Emperor Engine. Hmph, this opponent is too weak.
The mechanical human strode heavily towards King, pointing at him. "You are the Strongest Man—King? My name is G2. I am a combat robot created by The Organization, and I have specifically come to kill you."
"G2? Who is G1 to you?"
King vaguely remembered that some time ago, in Child Emperor's Research Institute, he had encountered a similar mechanical human named G1.
"I don't know him," G2's electronic synthetic voice said coldly. "Don't try to link me to anyone; I have no relatives." Its scarlet right hand opened towards King, and the metallic skin on its palm actually retracted, revealing a pitch-black muzzle.
"Scorching!"
G2 didn't hesitate, immediately launching a powerful attack. A red light instantly flared in its palm, and the scorching air spread. King felt his body temperature rise, and more importantly, the sense of danger made him tremble all over, giving him goosebumps.
"Machine Gun Blows!"
Just as King hesitated over which card to use, an icy voice suddenly rang out in the air. Immediately, a figure streaked past, and fists like a machine gun rattled against G2's body. G2's body tilted, and the firelight in its hand instantly shot askew, crashing into the nearby building.
*Rumble!*
The building instantly had a large hole ripped through it, burning fiercely.
Genos looked back at King, who was wearing a baseball cap and a windbreaker, and said coldly, "You ordinary person, leave this battlefield to me. Hurry and escape!"
After he finished speaking, he turned back and charged directly at G2. Electric arcs flashed, and he punched out fiercely. "Lightning Fist!"
"Huh?"
King hesitated for a moment, then decisively hid. Since someone was willing to be a hero, then he would begrudgingly be an applauding spectator!
"Ah, everyone, run quickly! It's a Monster, it's a Monster!"
"Is that someone from the Hero Association?"
"I don't know. There's no such individual in the Hero Association. Could it be that Monsters are fighting Monsters?"
"It really looks like two mechanical humans are fighting each other."
The surrounding civilians heard the explosions, then poked their heads out to glance. They saw two mechanical humans battling it out and were instantly jolted. With their rich experience, they instinctively fled, while simultaneously notifying the Hero Association.
*Bang!*
After another exchange, G2 stared at the newcomer, "Who are you?"
"Genos."
The newcomer was Genos. After reporting his name, he stomped his foot and spun in mid-air. His mechanical foot suddenly kicked at G2. "Whirlwind Kick!"
*Bang!*
G2 hastily raised its arm to block. Its heavy body stumbled backward violently. It looked coldly at Genos, saying, "You are Genos, right? Please leave; you are not my target."
Genos pressed his advantage, striking G2 with fists like a rain of bullets. "What a pity, my target is you... Go to hell, Modified Human."
"Genos?"
King, who had not gone far, was watching the battle. Upon hearing Genos announce his name, he looked over in surprise. Seeing Genos's cold demeanor, he nodded subconsciously. Indeed, it was him.
...
Meanwhile, in G City, Metal Knight, who was hiding, learned that G2 had found King. His entire body shook. He opened the computer video, preparing to witness King's battle firsthand. However, as soon as he opened the video, all he saw was Genos's figure. He frowned and gave the command, "Quickly resolve this troublesome Modified Human. Your mission is to fight King."
...
"Received!"
G2's unique eye flashed with light. Seeing that Genos refused to let go, it coldly snorted, "Hmph, a petty trick." Its right hand reached behind its back, and the heavy broadsword was immediately drawn out. It slashed the sword towards Genos.
*Clang!*
Genos nimbly dodged it, landing a short distance away after a few leaps.
"Scorching!"
G2 seemed to be waiting for Genos to create distance. It raised its scarlet left arm, and the muzzle in its palm opened. Firelight flickered, and a ball of scarlet flames spewed forth, rocketing towards Genos.
"Huh?"
Genos's eyebrows furrowed. His feet moved without pause, and he quickly dodged to the left.
"I've been waiting for you!"
However, before one wave subsided, another arose. His body had not yet stabilized when G2's icy voice suddenly rang out from mid-air. The broadsword's blade, flashing with a sharp gleam, shone brightly.
"Damn it, I was careless."
Genos's pupils contracted. He instinctively turned his body aside, but unfortunately, he couldn't completely dodge. The broadsword cut down, and with a piercing screech, Genos's left arm was cleanly severed by G2's broadsword, revealing numerous dense, complex electric wires faintly flashing with electric arcs.
"..."
King, watching from the side, was enjoying the intense battle. Upon hearing Genos exclaim that he was careless, his mouth twitched slightly, and he chuckled to himself, "Heh, as expected of Big Sister."
"One arm!"
G2 said coldly, its broadsword in hand not stopping. It suddenly lifted it, sweeping it horizontally. Genos had already reacted. Because he was a mechanical Modified Human, his entire body was almost all machinery, so he didn't feel pain, which wouldn't affect his other actions. He spun his feet, and his whole body flew up, dodging the broadsword while savagely kicking G2. "Whirlwind Kick!"
*Bang!*
The kick landed solidly on G2. G2 stumbled before stabilizing. It paid no mind and continued to attack Genos, "Petty trick, not worth mentioning."
"Damn it, the strength difference is too great."
Genos's eyebrows furrowed, desperately thinking of a solution.
"Getting distracted in battle is courting death!"
"Scorching!"
G2 acutely seized the opportunity. Targeting Genos's weak point, it raised its left arm and unleashed a jet of flames hot enough to incinerate everything.
Genos was greatly alarmed. "Damn it, I was careless again." He desperately twisted his body, hoping to dodge the incoming firelight. However, the flames were too fast, and he had nowhere to dodge; he was forced to endure the full impact of the flames.
"..."
"Sigh, Big Sister is beyond saving."
King shook his head helplessly. It seemed he would have to step in and save the situation. Hmm, looks like the Four-Star Class Monster card won't last.
