Chapter 1146: Close the Door (Two More for Monthly Pass)

Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Close the Door (Two More for Monthly Pass)

And just at that moment, Viko felt the motorcycle he was on swerve slightly, not following the figure that had rushed ahead but instead coming to a sudden stop at the edge behind the door.

The abrupt halt nearly caused him to be thrown forward due to inertia. Fortunately, he held onto the handlebars tightly, or else he would have really been flung out.

"What’s going on?"

Viko was still somewhat baffled and hadn’t come to his senses.

He shook his eyes, looking outside at the just-opened city gate.

At the end of his field of view, the figure in the bloodied jacket had disappeared, seemingly heading towards the now open outer city gate.

However, before he could locate where the figure in the bloodied jacket had gone, a giant, dark mass appeared before his gaze and quickly filled his view.

It was a huge black Mecha, now spewing flames, lifting the Broad Sword behind it, and without hesitation, slashing towards him.

With the width of that sword, it would only take one hit to reduce him to pulverized mud.

And behind him, the densely packed soldiers chasing after him were also rapidly closing in.

Viko stared dumbly at all this unfolding.

At this moment, his mind was void of surprise and panic; since the moment he had entered this battlefield, it seemed as if he had already prepared for death.

Although he knew he had hardly played any role in the battle, he also knew he couldn’t retreat.

Because he knew that what ’Suote’ had said was true.

’We have no reinforcements.’

Now, the only ones who could, and would try to stop this, were just the two people who were here.

Perhaps, strictly speaking.

It was ’Suote’ alone.

In this instant, Viko suddenly realized that ’death’ seemed to have given him too much time to think.

He looked forward.

The speeding Mecha didn’t stop its Broad Sword, but a black brilliance pierced through the entire Mecha, then brushed past his hair, and hit the wall beside him.

Boom——

Accompanied by a loud noise, the out-of-control Mecha suddenly smashed forward, ’sweeping’ out the soldiers behind it who wanted to surround the area, and blocking the approaching troops from behind.

In an extremely short amount of time, this area obtained a ’safe gap’.

Viko lifted his head, looking towards the origin of the radiance.

There he stood, the man with blood-stained hair, dressed in a black jacket, standing under a dim light, calmly gazing at him, then slightly opening his mouth.

He didn’t hear any sound, but he understood the ’lip shape’ of the other person.

It was a word, "Close the door."

Then the figure turned around, dashing into the denser light up ahead.

This guy, he’s really freaking cool.

Viko shook his head, turning to look at the ’black brilliance’ that had just rushed to the side.

It was a black alloy card, now firmly inserted into the wall where a hidden mechanism on the edge seemed to be sensing something, slowly opening and revealing the slot inside.

Seeing this scene, Viko didn’t hesitate and immediately rushed to the front of the black card.

Then he exerted his strength, failing to pull out the card on his first try.

He had to brace his feet against the wall and pull with all his strength to finally take out the card.

Is this card that hard?

Looking at the golden patterns on the card,

Viko had already realized what this card was.

Although some questions flashed through his mind, there was no hesitation in his movements; he inserted the card into the slot nearby decisively.

Following that, came the sound of ’zzzlah—’.

A hidden cover next to the slot opened, revealing a metal bolt.

This was an emergency switch for the city gate, an emergency switch that only the Mayor’s authority could activate. In an emergency situation, this switch had even higher authority than that of the gate control center.

At this moment, Viko made no extraneous movements; he directly reached out and took hold of the bolt.

It seemed that intense gunfire resounded around him; some soldiers had bypassed the huge Mecha and were rushing towards him.

But Viko could no longer hear any sounds; his mind felt blank, fixated on a single thought.

He gripped the bolt tightly, lifted the entire bolt upwards, and shifted it to ’close’.

Bang—

It was as if a muffled sound came from the air.

It was like some enormous mechanical construct had received an urgent order and suddenly came to a halt.

Following that, accompanied by a violent roar, the slowly opening massive gate started to close from both sides towards the center.

Success.

Feeling the doors slowly closing, Viko gripped the bolt tightly and pressed down on the lock button beside it.

The gunfire around him intensified, and he could feel his body seeming to suffer some kind of impact.

But he knew he couldn’t let go, he had to wait for this door to close, to be completely closed.

Just a moment more—

His gaze passed through the gap in the inner city gate, through the massive Jar City, through the lone figure standing in Jar City, facing the Mechas.

Finally, his gaze reached the outer city gate, saw the slowly closing gate, and the dense mass of light points obstructed outside the gate.

Just a moment more—

The closing speed of the outer city gate was far greater than its opening, and in a very short time, the gap had shrunk from tens of meters to just a few meters.

Boom—

Just then, a massive roaring sound abruptly emanated from outside the colossal outer city gate.

In that profound darkness, a huge and ponderous piece of engineering machinery was holding up against the closing outer city gate.

And behind this mechanical construct, a swarm of Mechas pressed in, spewing intense flames, holding the closing gate in place.

The spinning, enormous mechanical roaring at this moment suddenly ceased.

The slowly closing outer city gate, at this moment, came to a stop.

The surrounding gunfire seemed to quiet down at this instant, the whole world eerily silent.

A dense radiance continued to gather outside the city gate, and a multitude of huge machines appeared, pressing against the gate.

Squeak—

The gradually narrowing gap of the door once again opened by an inch.

Viko watched this scene dumbfounded, his gaze unconsciously searching for that figure.

Then, he saw that solitary figure in Jar City walk out from the flames of the exploding Mecha, heading towards the massive Mecha’s mechanical arm lying on the ground.

······

He Ao lowered his head, looking at the two freshly torn off Mecha arms in front of him, still sparking with electricity.

He reached out, picked up the two arms, and then grasped the bottom of the arms.

The mechanical transmission structures of these arms were damaged and could not move on their own, but He Ao did not need them to.

All he needed were two ’arms’.

He lifted each giant alloy arm, massive compared to his own body, as if they were toys.

The power of Divine Sense shimmered at his fingertips, infiltrating the mechanical arms, then solidifying some of the inner structures of the arms.

This was a modified version of the Hell Apostle Mechs; Vian had once studied similar Mech structures in detail and knew how they operated internally, as well as the methods to lock their joints.

He Ao raised the two arms, looking towards the gap in the door, then, with a great force, placed the palms of the mechanical arms against the city gate, with the elbows touching the ground.

The mechanism in the mechanical arm jammed at that instant, transforming the entire arm into a complex lever for force conversion.

This lever could amplify He Ao’s innate strength, allowing him to exert greater pressure when pushing forward.

Of course, the mechanical structure of a normal mecha couldn’t endure such a tremendous force.

But those reinforced by Divine Sense could.

Gazing at the cracking gate ahead, gazing at the huge machines and Mechas continuously emerging from behind that gap.

He Ao gripped the mechanical arm in his hands, his feet pressed against the ground, and he thrust forward with all his might.

Boom—

The firm earth cracked open beneath his feet.

The city gate, which was slowly opening, stopped at that moment.

From the inner city to Jar City, everyone stopped moving almost at that instant.

Even the Mechas in the sky of Jar City that were encircling He Ao paused momentarily.

The whole world fell silent as they dumbly watched that lone figure, with arms like wreckage, withstand the colossal gate that stood between Heaven and Earth.

Withstood the dazzling brightness that seemed to surge out from the night and death behind that enormous gate.

Boom—

He Ao bowed his head, silent and advancing.

The ground beneath his feet shattered; the opening gates began to close inward, and the gigantic Mechas outside spewing flames now appeared fragile like real fireflies.

Fine blood seeped from that already bloodstained skin.

With every advance, He Ao layered the use of the ’Heavy Strike’ martial technique.

It was his first attempt at such a method.

The reason martial techniques are called martial techniques is that they are brief outbursts, concentrating the body’s energy, which it normally couldn’t withstand, to suddenly explode.

The ’enhancement’ of the Heavy Strike technique wasn’t strong, but with the amplification from the Fist Technique already layered, his body had long surpassed its limits. This sudden convergence of force also continuously impacted the stability of the energy circuits.

With repeated high-frequency use of martial techniques, his energy circuits had become unstable, his muscles were being torn apart by his own strength.

He was unable to speak, relying only on his flowing Divine Sense to stabilize his muscles and energy circuits.

Even if the city gate itself had a powerful mechanical torque structure, it was not easy to endure this bluff.

He Ao raised his head to look at the magnificent gate ahead, his mouth cracked open, and blood spilled from his lips.

He continued to step forward.

Dazzling electric light burst from the massive mechanical arm, and the mechanics floating on the arm began to curl rapidly.

He Ao didn’t have enough Divine Sense to reinforce the entire arm, so he only fortified a few key nodes.

Even though these key points bore the brunt of the force, the slight spillover still tore the mechanical arm to shreds.

Boom—

But the gate continued to close a bit more.

The Mechas inside Jar City finally came to their senses, attacking the He Ao below them frenziedly.

At this moment, the mechanical structure driving the gate seemed to finally regain initiative. The twisted torque reached its operational limits, closing the entire gate gradually with a howling sound.

Boom—

The mechanical arm held by He Ao suddenly exploded, bursting into countless parts with a faint scattering of electric light.

The massive gates slowly closed, sealing off the points of light outside the gate.

At this moment, the air seemed filled with a kind of relieved sigh.

This sigh seemed to come not only from Viko—who was pulling the control lever—but also from some silent soldiers.

Bang bang bang—

However, just as the gap in the gate narrowed to the width of one person and was about to close completely, several huge mechanical palms penetrated the gap, forcefully holding the closing gates open.

Surging flames burst forth behind the enormous machinery and flying mechas, their engines roaring in a tearful wail at the brink of their limits, as if they had received the final command to hold back the last crack at all costs.

He Ao lifted his head and looked ahead.

Behind that gap in the door, a gigantic shadow was revealing its form from the sky.

It was not a Sky Behemoth, but a man-made mechanical structure just as colossal.

Beneath this shadow, a figure with brown hair wearing a flight exoskeleton armor was charging towards the gate at a terrifying speed.

He Ao watched the advancing figure.

Faintly, he could sense the terrifying power emanating from within that figure’s body.

Grade B, much stronger than an average B Grade.

The figure also lowered its head, gazing at He Ao, then picked up speed, charging even faster towards the city gate.

The broad massive door emitted a creaking sound.

Sparks flew from the hand pressed against the gap in the door.

But the gate ultimately failed to close and even showed signs of being forced open a bit more.

The figure charging at the door saw this, and continued to accelerate fiercely.

In that instant, a pair of bloodstained arms grabbed the still separating vast gates.

Beams of light whisked overhead, the attacks from the mechas behind, cleverly evaded by the figure.

The bloodied arms remained calm and steady, gripping the edge of the gate, as the dark jacket howled in the wind squeezed out by the desolate wilderness snow night.

Outside the gate, the flashing bright lights of machinery filled the gap, illuminating the wilderness snowfields outside as if it were day.

The tiny figure stood in this brilliance, like an ant grasping the gates of Heaven and Hell.

He Ao, with his head raised, gazed through the gap in the gate, watching the light amidst the flying snow, watching the endless snowfield.

Watching the waves of war machinery emerging from the snowfield, and the rapidly approaching figure.

His arm slightly bulged, the red sword light hidden in the darkness, shooting upward along the gap in the door.

Heavy strike!

Second Burst!

An immense force crushed the ground beneath his feet in an instant, tearing his skin, drenching his whole body in bright red blood.

Boom——

A series of iron palms, sliced by the red radiance, dropped off, and the remaining palms were directly snapped by the tremendous force.

The sparkling electric light cascaded down, pieces of steel debris falling like a torrential downpour.

Boom——

The colossal mechanical structure activated its final torque.

Together with He Ao’s arm, the massive gate was closed.

The swiftly charging figure and the titanic creature within the darkness finally halted before the gate, watching as the bloodied figure inside closed the last sliver of the gap.

His gaze was fixed on the figure behind the gate, then severed by the heavy city door.

Boom——

All fell silent.

The flickering red glow erupted around the majestic gate.

It was the sound of the city gate’s gatekeeping system reactivating.

All those dense mechanical structures would lock the gate completely, practically fusing it with the high wall.

"Cough——"

He Ao coughed lightly, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, then turned his head to look at those mechas that had just been firing cold shots at him from behind.

He lifted his hand, the crimson brilliance falling into his palm.
