Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Diamond Supremacy

Diamondhead successfully attracted the attention of all the robots. The moment he engaged them in battle, the system chimed with his reward.

Ding! Congratulations to the host on a successful registration!

Reward received: Uncommon Green - Complete mastery of Petrosapien warrior combat techniques and crystal manipulation!

New memories flooded Diamondhead's crystalline mind, years of training condensed into moments. He instantly absorbed the advanced fighting techniques of the elite Petrosapien warriors, understanding their crystal manipulation abilities at a level far beyond basic transformation.

In an instant, he had become a qualified warrior whose mastery rivaled that of the greatest Petrosapien fighters in history!

Although this green reward wasn't as powerful as Fire Fist Ace's previous blue reward, it perfectly complemented his current alien form and gave him complete mastery over his crystalline abilities.

"Don't give this human any time to recover, attack while he's distracted!" Vilgax commanded through the robots' communication systems, his voice carrying a hint of contempt. This human child had been powerful as a Pyronite, but foolishly transforming into a Petrosapien against his mechanical army was a tactical error.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two disc-shaped drones and the massive Attack Robot simultaneously targeted the seemingly dazed Diamondhead, unleashing waves of red energy beams that grew stronger with each barrage. The concentrated firepower lit up the night sky with devastating force.

"Asher, be careful!" Max shouted as he helped evacuate the civilians, sweat beading on his forehead as he witnessed the overwhelming attack.

Can Asher handle that many robots at once?

BOOM!

Diamondhead clenched both fists and slammed them into the ground. The earth instantly cracked as a massive diamond wall erupted from the impact point, two meters thick, wide, and high, resembling a crystalline fortress!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The red energy beams struck the diamond barrier, but couldn't even scratch its surface, only kicking up clouds of smoke and debris. The crystalline structure was harder than real diamond, designed to withstand even orbital plasma cannon fire.

"The ability to freely generate crystal constructs, only elite Petrosapien warriors possess such mastery!" Vilgax, a cosmic powerhouse with vast knowledge, immediately recognized the advanced technique. His expression changed to one of shock.

Generally speaking, the Petrosapiens relied primarily on their enhanced physical strength, and only warriors achieved the ability to create large quantities of crystals from their surroundings and manipulate them with perfect control!

Could it be that this human child has already mastered the techniques of this alien species?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After several consecutive energy bursts failed to penetrate the Diamond Fortress, the robots' targeting systems recalibrated.

But Diamondhead wasn't content to simply defend. With fluid grace, he leapt onto his diamond wall, then stepped directly into the open air without falling!

Whoosh!

The diamond wall responded to his will, growing additional crystalline structures that formed a magnificent staircase of pure crystal, supporting each of his steps as he advanced through the sky! He controlled microscopic mineral particles in the air to levitate his crystals and extend his constructs.

He charged directly at one of the disc drones, the diamond staircase following his movement, creating an indestructible bridge of green crystal across the night sky!

The disk drone attempted an evasive maneuver.

Whoosh!

Diamondhead raised his right hand and transformed it into a projectile launcher. A single diamond shuriken shot out with perfect accuracy, hitting the drone's engine core. Electrical sparks erupted across its hull as its propulsion systems failed!

Quickly closing the distance, his left arm transformed into a massive crystal hammer. With a thunderous "CRACK!", he smashed the disk drone into countless fragments!

A brilliant explosion bloomed in the air as the destroyed robot rained down in sparking pieces!

"This alien is... so powerful..." a tourist whispered in amazement.

"My God, those robots are no match for him!" exclaimed another.

The crowd of evacuated civilians stared in awe. Had this been the age of the mobile internet, Diamondhead's heroics would have been trending worldwide within minutes!

Through the smoke of the explosion, Diamondhead slowly retracted his crystal hammer and fixed his cold, determined gaze on the remaining disk drone. His voice carried the calm authority of absolute confidence as he spoke to the mastermind behind the attack.

"Do not misunderstand me. I could easily destroy these toys with ranged attacks, but..." his crystalline face glowed with reflected firelight, "I prefer the satisfaction of crushing them with my own hands!"

Toys!

The calm declaration contained no mockery or bravado, it was simply a statement of fact delivered with absolute certainty.

In his eyes, these robots were nothing more than playthings.

Vilgax's tentacled face flushed with anger at the casual dismissal.

Whoosh!

The remaining disk drone lunged forward in desperation, using its superalloy frame as a battering ram to smash into Diamondhead's back in a surprise attack!

However, the Petrosapien's incredibly strong crystalline body barely swayed from the impact. The drone, meanwhile, wobbled as if it might fall apart from the collision with its diamond-hard form.

"So eager to die? Then I'll grant your wish," Diamondhead said calmly, turning slightly. Both arms transformed into razor-sharp crystal blades, glittering like emerald lightning in the darkness!

The speed of his strike was beyond comprehension!

Before any observer could react, Diamondhead had already drawn his twin crystal swords.

The disk drone's body split in perfect slicing lines, falling to the ground in pieces before exploding in a chain of explosions, Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Now there's only one left," Diamondhead said, turning his attention to the massive attack robot. His eyes remained calm as still water, showing no concern for the towering mechanical threat.

Vilgax clung to his last hope: "The fighting power of my great attack robot far exceeds those scout drones!"

Whoosh!

From his crystal platform, Diamondhead performed a perfect dive and landed gracefully on the ground. His entire body moved with inhuman speed as he swooped down on the Attack Robot's legs at twenty meters per second!

When the movement stopped, his hands had once again become diamond blades.

Green crystalline energy crackled like lightning between the massive robot's legs!

BOOM!

All of the robot's lower limbs crashed to the ground at once, and its massive body toppled heavily, rendered completely helpless.

"Time to finish you off," Diamondhead declared as he clasped his hands together. They instantly transformed into a honeycomb-like multi-barrel launcher loaded with countless Diamond Shuriken projectiles!

This magnificent crystalline weapon was the last sight the Attack Robot's optical sensors would ever record.
