Chapter 477 DarkStar Traitor (1/2)
Clank!
With a set of effortless punches and less than two minutes, the Amphiptere mechanical suit controlled by Phillip defeated those stone warriors. The rocks lay down on the ground and whined weakly.
They were just Grade C, so the mechanical suit enhanced by Han Xiao easily crushed them.
”No! My smooth skin!” The head of the stone warriors looked at his cracked body and wailed. In terms of stone man aesthetics, the quality of the stone on their body's surface was the same as their attractiveness. The most beautiful ones were, of course, diamonds, crystals, and minerals of the same sort. Even if it was normal stone, if it was as smooth as a mirror, they would be considered handsome.
Even if they could digest stones to heal their wounds, it would take a very long for them to recover.
This enormous sized guy's moaning made Han Xiao feel like beating him up again.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”You're not even stronger than us, yet you want to teach us a lesson? Where did you find the courage‽” The oldest Volga looked at them disdainfully.
Han Xiao was a little surprised by how weak those stone warriors were. It was impossible for their employer not to know how strong Han Xiao and the others were. What impact would it make for him to send these weaklings? Was it just a warning or welcome gift? Could he have guessed incorrectly and the stone warriors' employer was not their target?
Matters involving Oracles were always a headache. Han Xiao did not want to dwell on it; he grabbed the stone warrior and questioned him directly. ”Who is your employer?”
Accordingly, mercenaries would not sell the identity of their employer. Han Xiao was already prepared to interrogate then, but to his surprise, these stone warriors gave him an expected reply.
”The employer wanted us to come here today to deal with the person that pressed the doorbell of that villa and said that our lives wouldn't be in danger. If we got defeated, we should tell you a location to find a person there, and there will be someone there that knows his whereabouts,” the stone warrior said nervously. ”He also said that you will forcefully ask for the employer's identity and told me to relay his exact words. 'You guessed right—it is me indeed. Don't think I don't know you used my name fraudulently. Play a game with me if you want to find me'.”
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
”Damn Oracle!” Han Xiao clenched his teeth.
Herlous slapped Han Xiao's back heavily and laughed loudly. ”Hahahaha, you met a colleague!”
”Colleagues hate each other.” Han Xiao snorted and asked for the location. The stone warrior said the next location while shivering—north of City 8. They had to cross the entire city to go there.
Han Xiao stood up and pondered. The intention of the Oracle to hire these stone warriors was actually to leave some clues and lead them to the next location.
The target had intentionally left traces sixteen days ago then used his foresight ability to peek into their whereabouts, knowing that they would be arriving at this place today. Hence, he hired these stone warriors. The ability to foresee was not omnipotent or omniscient; it could not be used randomly and needed some attached strings, which was why the target deliberately left clues for the intel organizations.
He could certainly break the prophecy and kill these stone warriors. The problem was whether that would be in the Oracle's calculations, telling the stone warriors there would be no danger to provoke Han Xiao's rebellious thought, while his true intention was to make Han Xiao kill these stone warriors, which would attract the security forces. Would there even be a possibility that the counter thoughts that Han Xiao was currently having had been seen through by the Oracle? Could he have used Han Xiao's personality as the foundation for telling these stone men that they were definitely safe‽
”This is exactly why I hate Oracles.” Han Xiao felt a headache.
Despite knowing the powers of the Dragon Emperor's teacher, this feeling of restraint and following the opponent's plan unwillingly made Han Xiao very irritated.
Oracles were good at using their powers to plot. To Oracles who were strong enough, intelligence had no meaning. When someone dealing with an Oracle thought that they were being smart, what they did not know was that the Oracle had used their 'smartness' from the start. One never knew what the Oracle really wanted one to do.
Luckily, Han Xiao had his advantage. He knew the target's powers and ability very clearly, so he could judge his mindset from an Oracle's perspective. It would not guarantee that he would escape the target's calculations, but it would at least ensure he would not get tricked unknowingly. Furthermore, from what he knew about the target, although the target had a bad character, he rarely meant harm.
This was a good piece of news. After all, although Oracles were not physically powerful, being their enemy would be something very, very, very troublesome!
”What's next? Should we go where he said?” Herlous asked.
”Let's see what game he is playing.”
Han Xiao snapped his fingers, creating a Mechanical Force spark. Amphiptere quickly turned into a compressed orb and attached itself to his necklace.
At the same time, Mechanical Forces spread out like electric currents, connecting the broken robot parts with each other. Suddenly, these parts levitated and gathered, then quickly assembled. Some distorted parts recovered to their original shape under the Mechanical Force. In the blink of an eye, the pile of waste parts turned back into the round robot body.
Basic Machinery Construction and Waste Modification!
The tiny round robot started moving again. Phillip waved its mechanical arms, slid beside Han Xiao's feet, and reported, ”Self-checking, hum… performance decreased by twenty-five percent, hum… storage data backed up, hum…”
Sylvia's eyes were sparkling so brightly that stars almost jumped out. ”Teacher, I want to learn this!”
