Chaos leaped out fiercely, trying to stop He Ao, but at this moment, his speed could no longer keep up with He Ao’s pace.
The moment the Blazing Angel Mech’s massive blade swung down, He Ao had already rushed towards the mech’s wrist.
The silver alloy sword traced a full moon’s arc across the sky.
Accompanied by a dazzling flash of electricity, the Blazing Angel Mech’s wrist was completely severed by He Ao, and its fingers, lacking power control, were easily pried open by him.
Only at this moment did the Blazing Angel Mech’s pilot realize what had happened, but it was already too late.
He Ao hugged the massive blade that had once been tightly gripped, swinging it in the night rain like a child wielding a giant axe.
The gleaming brightness traced the mark of a new moon.
The huge sword blade pierced through the Blazing Angel Mech’s body, through its cockpit, and slashed its high-energy battery.
Fierce flames burst from the bisected cockpit, resulting in a violent explosion.
And within these raging flames, a dark figure burst forth, reaching for He Ao—it was Chaos.
He Ao looked at this figure; due to excessive overclocking, many parts inside the Adam 2 were already damaged, and even the jet engines were intermittent.
But there was something still usable.
He Ao’s right hand opened, and the direction his palm faced was precisely where Chaos was charging towards.
In that instant, He Ao concentrated all his attention.
Mental Disturbance!
Chaos’s movements in the air froze momentarily, orange-yellow brilliance emanating from He Ao’s hand and evaporating everything in its path into smoke.
The Plasma Cannon, in a state of extreme overclock!
At this moment, Chaos had broken free from He Ao’s Mental Disturbance, regaining his ability to move, but the orange-yellow brilliance had already reached his face.
It was all too late.
The intense light pierced through his chest, burning everything it encountered into char.
He Ao, having exhausted all his strength in an instant, lost any support and plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the ground.
The already heavily fractured armor shattered, and pieces of broken metal fell from the armor.
However, the Adam 2 had not been completely destroyed; it still maintained a relatively intact structure.
The mini fusion reactor in its chest still pulsed with a powerful silver glow.
But the mech’s cushioning devices were nearly all ruined, and the impact from the fall damaged He Ao’s internal organs; he spat out a mouthful of blood, turned off Super Memory, and staggered towards the armory-filled building.
"You’re about to die."
A hoarse voice came through the night.
Not far in front of He Ao, Chaos was leaning against a wall—his chest completely destroyed, yet still clinging to a fragment of life.
He could hardly be described as ’human’ anymore.
But He Ao could see it.
He was dying.
He Ao continued forward with difficulty, approaching Chaos.
Chaos raised his head to look at He Ao, the rain parting his hair to the sides.
Streams like rivulets slid down his cheeks.
He slowly extended his hand, trying to grasp He Ao.
His fingers were withered, covered in grime, and the knuckles bulged.
At this moment, He Ao finally remembered who the person before him was.
The little beggar who had appeared in Vian’s life when Vian was eleven, that was the first time Vian had touched the shadows of this world.
He was about He Ao’s age.
"Your reforms, your hopes, what you’re doing now, will cost you your wealth, cost you your life,"
Chaos looked up at He Ao, his mouth slowly splitting into a smile, "just for those poor to live better, is it worth it?"
The dim streetlight shone on He Ao’s cheek.
"Someone has to step forward,"
He Ao slowly raised his feet, staggering past Chaos, "to change this world."
"Your body won’t survive the next battle,"
Chaos’s hand dropped powerlessly, he raised his head, looking at the street lamp on the curb, the yellow light shone on his cheek, "I’ll be waiting for you in hell."
He didn’t utter another word, as He Ao’s figure walked toward the depths of the lobby on the first floor.
Chaos was dead, but the mission was not yet complete.
Super Memory reflected every detail of the entire hall in He Ao’s mind.
The system’s mission required the ’destruction of the crime syndicate established by Chaos’.
Destroying an organization doesn’t necessarily mean killing all its members, but at least, the organization’s core members must be killed.
This crime syndicate, besides Chaos, had another core member.
He Ao glanced at the burning pile in the hall.
Every Divine Being has its corresponding emblem; for instance, the God of Knowledge is symbolized by the Septagram that signifies the quest for knowledge.
The God of Chaos, on the other hand, is symbolized by flames that signify burning everything to ashes.
Believers in the God of Chaos who love to kill are not necessarily insane criminals.
One might also be an unrestrained executioner.
When the Blazing Angel Mech and Chaos stood together, He Ao’s thoughts had already been proven.
Yalid was a Believer of the God of Chaos, and he was together with Chaos.
This could also explain why Chaos was able to easily find the vulnerabilities in the Nord Bank of Kaye City and steal five hundred million in cryptocurrency.
It explained why Chaos knew exactly that among the valuable items protected by the Nord Bank in Kaye City, there was a pair of Thief’s Gloves.
Within the high ranks of the Nord Group, there was someone belonging to Chaos, and that person was Yalid.
All the pieces fell into place.
Yalid did not follow Chaos’s plan, which seemed to imply that his position within the organization was not lower than that of Chaos.
Among the Believers of the God of Chaos, who revere strength and chaos, this meant that Yalid’s strength was not less than Chaos’s either.
Following the recent battle, the Adam model 2 had completely lost its combat capability, with only some parts still usable.
And this was why He Ao had to make the battlefield here.
He Ao walked to a corner of the hall and lifted a metal plate that was covering the ground.
A deep underground passage appeared before him.
He followed the tunnel step by step downwards, eventually reaching a vast underground space.
A few guards saw He Ao and immediately raised their guns, but before they could pull the trigger, He Ao had already snapped one of their necks and used his gun to kill the others.
The entire underground space was dimly lit, lit only by some mottled lights.
He Ao found the main light of the underground space and pressed it gently.
Along with the bright glow that illuminated the entire space, a massive black behemoth appeared in He Ao’s view.
It was a mech.
This dark colossus, standing over twenty meters tall, unlike the streamlined elegance of the Blazing Angel Mech, exuded a bestial ferocity.
It was not a model deployed by the Federation army, but rather developed independently by the Yiwis Space System company as a commercial model to compete with the Blazing Angel.
Its name was the Hell Apostle.
As a model aimed to compete with the Blazing Angel and mainly used for civilian purposes, the Hell Apostle was designed to be more aggressive. Although both were equipped with similar weapons, the materials used for the Hell Apostle were heavier than those of the Blazing Angel, providing greater defense but at the cost of higher energy consumption.
At this moment, the Hell Apostle before He Ao had its chest open, revealing an empty battery chamber.
Its battery was the high-energy battery that had been intercepted by He Ao.
In Eve’s analytic calculations, those smuggled parts had the highest likelihood of making up two kinds of mechs: the Hell Apostle and the Blazing Angel Mech.
Both had over an 80% probability, but the constructions of the Hell Apostle and Blazing Angel Mech were completely different.
He Ao and Eve re-evaluated the data, confirming it was very likely that Chaos had bought both mechs.
The Blazing Angel Mech was purchased first, the Hell Apostle later.
But the purchase of the Blazing Angel Mech did not quite make sense to He Ao, while buying the Hell Apostle was understandable.
As both were C-level mechs, the Hell Apostle’s black market price was one hundred and forty million, while the Blazing Angel Mech’s was one hundred and ninety million. The additional fifty million was not because the Blazing Angel Mech was much stronger, but because it was a mech only the Federation military could use and was difficult to acquire.
From a practical standpoint, buying the Hell Apostle made much more sense than buying the Blazing Angel Mech.
Unless he had another use for the Blazing Angel Mech.
This was also one of the key breakthrough points in He Ao’s conjecture of Yalid’s plan.
The high-energy battery used by the mech was contraband, and following the intercept of that battery, He Ao tracked down the line to find a clue that another battery had been smuggled in but no other clues.
Therefore, He Ao guessed that Chaos hadn’t managed to acquire a spare battery; he only had two batteries, one given to the Blazing Angel Mech and one intercepted by He Ao.
The fact that only the Blazing Angel Mech appeared in the recent battle and not the Hell Apostle also corroborated He Ao’s suspicion.
This meant that the Hell Apostle had no energy source to make use of.
The reason He Ao wanted the battle to be here was because of this; all the components ultimately flowed to this area, this building.
The guns Chaos purchased were here, as were most likely the mechs he bought.
He Ao stepped towards the Hell Apostle.
The jet engines under his feet emitted a faint glow, pulling He Ao up into the air.
He didn’t enter the cockpit of the Hell Apostle but instead went into the mech’s energy chamber.
He reached for the control panel of the energy chamber, connecting it to the external interface of the Adam model 2.
"Eve, take control of the mech," he said while disconnecting the energy line interface and connecting it to the interface on his own mech.
Chaos and Yalid had originally purchased these arms and mechs to incite those who couldn’t even afford food to take to the streets and create chaos, throwing Kaye City into disarray. It was only because of He Ao’s appearance that they turned to confront him instead.
When he caught a brief glimpse during the fight, He Ao saw that a person dressed as a waiter was inside the Blazing Angel Mech; as He Ao struck down the mech with his sword, his reaction was swift, suggesting he might be a D-level Transcendent, able to control the mech without much training and quickly unleashing the mech’s full power.
From this, He Ao inferred that the Hell Apostle was probably not prepared for Chaos himself but for Kyle instead.
If He Ao hadn’t been there, they would have had four powerful C-levels in charge, and relying on the exotic beasts to hold off the City Defense Army, they could have done almost anything they wanted in Kaye City.
Those homeless people with guns would have plunged the entire city into utter chaos.
If He Ao hadn’t been there, that Blazing Angel Mech could have infiltrated the City Defense Army, causing confusion and buying time for the turmoil within the city.
Of course, all this was hypothetical.
Now the homeless had hope, Chaos was dead, the Blazing Angel Mech was destroyed, and the Hell Apostle was in He Ao’s hands.
The silver glow of the mini nuclear power reactor on He Ao’s chest flashed.
There was only one left.
