Master of Kaidan-Chapter 481 Things Suddenly Made Sense

Name: Phantom Item·YX-LG-07

Elements: [Mecha], [Weapon], [Autonomy], [Robot], [Unmanned]

Overview: An amphibious security robot with a humanoid structure capable of undertaking various tasks, it is the most versatile machine at the East Sea Dragon Gate.

Although it is a mass production model, since it is unmanned, there is no need to consider the driver’s load capacity, and its performance exceeds that of the same generation’s dedicated machines.

Note: Beware of naughty children.

...

Feng Xue looked at the panel that appeared temporarily under the enhancement of power, her lips slightly curling up. She then mimicked and checked the data of the Crab Submarine and Shrimp Submarine, finding that their specifications were about the same.

"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals, night demons patrolling the sea, it seems this so-called East Sea Dragon Gate is essentially the Dragon Palace? But Dragon Gate... it couldn’t be the one where carp transform into dragons, could it? Yet if even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals are mechanical beings, what exactly is the dragon?"

Feng Xue’s expression turned slightly bizarre. She immediately wanted to enter the Dragon Palace, especially intrigued by the pair of "Heaven Piercing Horns," which seemed completely out of place with the Dragon Palace’s ant-hill-like appearance.

Just as she pondered this, she saw an intensely mechanical hatch open at the Dragon Gate Base. Then she saw an incredibly handsome blue machine catapult out of the hatch.

Compared to the somewhat eye-soring sea patrol night demon, the design of this machine was strikingly appealing. Standing at an estimated eighteen meters tall, it held a twenty-meter-long Fangtian halberd, with something resembling a Qinglong tail stretching out from behind. However, before Feng Xue could ponder what exactly this Qinglong was meant to be in terms of combat module, the dragon automatically disintegrated into over a dozen units, tracing different curves through the sea as they chased after Feng Xue.

"Good grief, Floating Cannons?!"

Although they were underwater, the platinic energy beams were completely unaffected by the aquatic environment. The numerous beams, like a classic laser cage, progressively restricted Feng Xue’s movement paths, while the main body swung the Fangtian halberd towards Feng Xue’s remaining evasive route.

Seeing this, Feng Xue didn’t dodge but immediately performed a ritual akin to "Child Saluting Guanyin," attempting an act of seizing the weapon with bare hands. However, the moment her hands touched the Fangtian halberd, the intense vibration and power completely exceeded her expectations.

Despite being in a deep-sea high-pressure environment, the machine’s movements resembled that of a live creature on land, with surprisingly powerful output. Even though Feng Xue wore four layers of armor, she was nearly forced into an helpless state.

"But the water area should be considered a safe zone for a Masked Rider, right? If I fight in the water, does that mean I’m invincible?"

Feng Xue internally sarcasticly wondered, even feeling a bit eager to try.

However, at this moment, the priority was obviously not this. The power seizing ability activated, and immediately the high-frequency oscillation of the Fangtian halberd ceased.

[Plunder]This power, in theory, isn’t something extremely powerful because its ability functions more on items with "identity recognition" features. In other words, for ordinary things, it merely changes the "legal ownership," and in practical terms, it’s not as effective as simply snatching it directly from someone.

Because it doesn’t include altering memories, even if you used the power to seize the legal ownership of a set of real estate, resulting in official documents displaying your name, since you didn’t actually go through the registration process, it would most likely still be deemed as forgery.

But as technology continuously advances, this power has found new applications. For instance, in this case, Feng Xue used the Plunder power to seize the ownership of the Fangtian halberd, causing the weapon to become unrecognizable to the machine, naturally cutting off its power supply.

High-tech weapons have their drawbacks; without the corresponding energy supply and AI regulation, they were even less useful than ordinary weapons.

Taking advantage of the momentary decrease in the weapon’s power, Feng Xue leaped forward and reached the front of the mecha.

The continuously firing energy beams from the floating cannon suddenly ceased; under the enemy-ally identification system, they were no longer able to attack Feng Xue.

However, this mecha clearly wasn’t willing to give in, its chest adorned with golden decorations that presumably represented dragon eyes suddenly opened, followed by a volley of water arrow bullets from its barrel. But for such power, Feng Xue’s body shivered slightly, and Yellow Robe Eighteen Falls was deployed. A flick of his cape blocked all the incoming bullets, and taking advantage of the disordered currents caused by the bullets, Feng Xue finally reached the front of the mecha —

"Plunder!"

Name: Fantasy Item·AO-3 Full Domain General-Purpose Transformable Unmanned Mecha

Elements: [Mecha], [Weapon], [Transformation], [General Use], [Unmanned]

Introduction: An all-terrain mecha suitable for sea, land, air, and space, capable of smoothly transitioning between MS and MA, equipped with the Dragon Vein engine, the strongest mecha engine of the current generation providing almost perpetual power.

Remarks: This mecha is affiliated with the Heavenly Court - East Sea Dragon Gate Base, be wary of pursuit.

...

"Tsk, tsk, combining this power with my Golden Finger makes for a pretty good Identification Skill. But speaking of Nezha pulling out the dragon tendon, he mentioned it was for binding Li Jing’s armor... emmm, that seems workable too..."

Feng Xue reached out and patted "Ao Bing’s" large head, constantly shifting it between dragon-form MA and human-form MS, indulging in the nostalgia of playing with transformable toys as a child.

The childhood delight was revived at that moment, and Feng Xue was in a wonderful mood. However, even more delightful was that this device seemed to possess access to the Dragon Gate Base. Following the command issued by the "Master of Props" power, the initially tense Dragon Gate Base instantly restored calm.

"It went smoother than expected... I thought some kind of Dragon King-type large MA would show up."

Feng Xue muttered and connected his phone to a hotspot with Ao Bing. Don’t ask why it’s waterproof; the details of fantasy items need not be so clear.

However, there really seemed to be no living thing in this base; entering the network, Feng Xue only saw a plethora of threads, including turtle-style mobile platforms and clam-style maintenance machines running, shrimp-style submarines and crab submarines patrolling, as well as the security measures of YX series machines. As for the operation manual and instruction booklet he wanted to find, there was none at all.

Thinking about it, it made sense, an entirely AI-operated underwater city had all its functions directly embedded into chips. What need was there for manuals!

Of course, armed with the [Hacker] label, Feng Xue could force his way through the underlying code, but that seemed a bit too tedious. After some thought, he stood on Ao Bing, now in dragon-form MA, and headed straight for the location known as "Heaven Piercing Horn."

Although there was no specific reason, the entire Dragon Gate Base seemed like the only place that looked fit for human presence.

"Still wondering what tricks this thing might have up its sleeve... hmm, it can’t be the ’Stabilizer Treasure,’ can it? Haven’t heard that thing has two prongs though!" ƒreewebɳovel.com
