Chapter 295: 240

The blue light sword clashed against the golden claw, immediately, stunning blue golden sparks burst out. Su Yu felt a sharp shake in his right arm, a deep heart-piercing pain. He shouted, his golden claw tightening, successfully grasping the blue light sword. He couldn’t help but feel that it was a close call. If any other part of his body had come into contact with this blue light sword, it would have been sliced in two.

As soon as the golden claw caught the blue light sword, the robot seemed somewhat taken aback, seemingly unaware that there was an existing material in the world that could block its blue light sword. It was clearly stunned for a moment. It was only then that the shoulder cannons on its shoulders started to light up again, preparing to counter-attack.

Su Yu’s reaction was incredibly quick. As the golden claw caught the light sword, it unleashed an unparalleled force, pulling the blue light sword and sending the massive machine, weighing tons, flying.

With a thunderous "boom", the robot was thrown hard against a stone wall, holding the blue light sword. The wall was extremely sturdy, remaining undamaged. Immediately after, Su Yu activated the "Lizard Arm", smashing into the robot’s left shoulder cannon.

With a loud "pop", the left shoulder cannon immediately shattered. The contained explosives detonated at close range.

The sudden explosion caught even Su Yu off guard. He grunted, getting blown back by the force and blood covered half his body. Meanwhile, the robot also suffered severe damage. The left shoulder cannon, along with its left arm, had been blown apart. This time, it appeared both parties suffered heavy casualties.

Su Yu fell sideways to the ground, slowly crawling up. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the "Gasification Mysterious Power" within him surging and pulsating, continually healing his injured body and the chipped black scales. The white robot, now missing a left shoulder cannon and an arm, got up again. An intimidating light shone from the shoulder cannon on its right, a bomb the size of a baby’s arm was shot out, rapidly targeting Su Yu. The robot also charged towards him, brandishing the blue light sword with its remaining arm.

Su Yu raised his uninjured right arm, firing off five "Tooth Burst".

With a thunderous "boom", the launched projectiles intercepted the incoming bomb in mid-air, resulting in a deafening explosion. Su Yu rolled away and then managed to steady himself, golden lightning covering his body. His right arm stretched out, "Wrath of Thunder" gathering an immense amount of electricity, forming a giant golden light beam which he then slashed down towards the approaching robot.

The white robot raised its blue light sword, courageously blocking the golden lightning. It seemed unafraid of electricity.

Su Yu let out a low growl, having spotted a vulnerable area in the robot’s damaged left half. Thousands of golden lightning bolts suddenly erupted from his body. He then activated "Landmine Devourer". The lightning bolts, which moved like serpents, rushed towards the robot, entering its body through the damaged left-hand side.

While the robot’s exterior seemed to possess a type of material that insulated it from electrical charges, the gaping hole on its left side could no longer prevent the electrical surge. Thousands of volts of high voltage electricity rushed into its body, causing massive destruction.

With continuous sizzling sounds and bursts, the robot’s body trembled. A foul, burning smell emanated from within. Su Yu darted forward just as the robot lifted its solitary arm, attempting a powerful downward strike to slash at Su Yu.

Su Yu’s body dodged swiftly, the golden claw reached out, grabbing the robot’s right arm. With a squeeze, the crunchy sound of metal twisting and breaking could be heard. Su Yu then ripped off its right arm, along with the blue light sword. Exposed wires sparked at the broken end, which Su Yu tore apart causing a jarring sound, as if steel ropes were snapping.

He tossed aside the severed right arm, his left arm encircling, twisting, pulling, and breaking off the robot’s head as well, and tossed it aside.

The white robot, now without arms and head, continued to tremble under a torrent of golden lightning. From its broken parts emerged a strong scent of burning. Finally, continuous explosion sounds could be heard from within its body.

Once the chain of explosions ceased, the robot fell to the ground. It had effectively turned into a pile of immovable scrap iron.

Having dealt with the robot, Su Yu gave a sigh of relief, retracted the "Landmine Devourer", and the golden light around him faded away. He returned to his normal state from his "Lizard Beast Transformation".

Ada jumped from his shoulders and began searching for the Mag-Eu stone amongst the pile of robot wreckage.

The search quickly bore fruit. Ada, thrilled, hopped back onto Su Yu’s shoulder and extended a small claw, "Look."

Su Yu took the stone. This Mag-Eu stone was twice the size of the ones he saw before, about half the size of a fingernail. When Su Yu integrated it into his necklace, the primordial beast transformed from a thunderball into an incomplete form of Thunder Beast.

With a few more Mag-Eu Stones like this, the Thunder Beast can evolve into the Saint Thunder Beast very soon. At that time, Su Yu can utilize the Golden Claw, draw the thunder and lightning energy from the Saint Thunder Beast for his own use, and inevitably, his capacity and voltage power would significantly increase.

Ada seemed quite excited as well, and said, "Come on, let’s go and check out the second floor."

"Hmm." Su Yu glanced at the device on his left wrist. Fortunately, the other red light spots on the device were still a good distance away from his blue light spot, so he didn’t need to worry about other teams approaching. Su Yu led Ada along the winding staircase at the end of this space, heading towards the second floor of this pyramid-like structure.

When they reached the end of the steps, there was another metallic door. This one was much smaller, only five meters tall and two meters wide. Su Yu manifested his "Lizard Arm", combined with the power of the Golden Blood, and with a low shout, he struck it forcefully.

Accompanied by a "boom" sound, the metal door immediately distorted and flew inwards.

Inside the metallic door was an empty stone chamber. On the stone walls of the chamber, there were all sorts of patterns depicting monsters, various kinds of machinery, and strangely styled buildings. Each wall of the stone chamber had a metallic door, all tightly shut right now. Su Yu examined the patterns around him and the other three closed metal doors. Just as he was going to ask Ada which door to pick, suddenly the door facing them silently retracted into the stone wall, and a figure stepped out from it.

At the first glance, both parties were taken aback. The figure stepping out from the metal door was also a human, clean-cut and average looking. However, as he walked, he was eerily silent, like a cat stealthily emerging from the darkness.

Su Yu was a bit stunned, then he couldn’t help but look at the device on his left wrist again. Yes, it displayed twenty-five spots of light. There were no red spots indicating other teams around his blue spot. But who could the person in front of him be then? Could it be that there were other individuals in this world besides their teams?

Surprised and confused, Su Yu looked at the man in front of him who had already started speaking calmly, "Outsider, it’s enough that you’ve made it here. I give you two choices. Either leave this place immediately, or step over my dead body to enter."

While speaking, he raised two fingers. Only then did Su Yu notice that the man’s fingers were made of intricate metal components.

"You are..." Su Yu frowned slightly.

"Me?" The man gave a faint smile, a touch of bewilderment flashing in his eyes as he slowly said, "Actually, I’m just a semi-finished ’Artificial Human’, or you could say, a failure who is somewhere between a ’robot’ and an ’Artificial Human’. Our mission is to protect this place and prevent it from being disturbed by outsiders."

"A semi-finished ’Artificial Human’?" Su Yu was shocked. He finally remembered when they had encountered a human "Sky Eye" in the Fire element space. The Sky Eye possessed a special power to predict the enemy’s next move. It looked exactly like a normal human. It was only after its body got damaged and the internal circuits were revealed that they realized he was an Atlantean "Artificial Human".

"Yes, after a lot of experiments, the Atlanteans created a highly simulated ’Artificial Human’... Be it wisdom, capacity to grow, or emotions...they can almost perfectly mimic real human beings. As for me... I’m just a semi-finished product."

While speaking, he started undressing. Only then did Su Yu notice that apart from his head, all other parts of this so-called person were meticulously crafted machinery. He was an artificial human who had a human head and intellect but a machine body. Su Yu finally understood why he referred to himself as a semi-finished ’Artificial Human’.

"Human, I know you won’t back down. So, please, make your move. My duty is to protect this place. Unless I stop functioning, I must kill any outsiders who dare enter here."

This semi-finished ’Artificial Human’, appeared not to be hostile, but calmly stood there, gazing at Su Yu. There was even faint exhaustion in his eyes.

Feeling an inexplicable sensation in his heart, Su Yu looked at the man in front of him and suddenly asked, "Do you have a name?"

There was a slight pause, before the Artificial Human answered, "Yes, Z-17. That is the designation I was given after being produced."

Su Yu was taken aback, and remembered the white robot he had encountered on the first floor that had the symbol Z-18 on its chest. He said, "The white robot I just encountered had a Z-18 symbol on its chest. Are you guys from the same batch? But the differences in appearance... are quite stark."
