The entrance to the warship was blocked by vines, which Leon cleared with his sword before a card opened the door.
The interior of the warship is different from its exterior. There are no vines or moss inside; it is very clean and full of science fiction.
"This...is so cool!"
Looking at the intact interior, Lyon was certain that the warship, which was about 700 meters long, was usable!Excitement filled his mind, energizing Leon's battle-weary body.
Which young person in China doesn't dream of riding on a warship?
At that moment, his dream came true!
After the excitement subsided, Leon put away his lantern, because the surrounding lights would automatically turn on as he walked inside the warship.Leon proceeded cautiously, making several detours but still gradually approaching the warship's control room.
After a long journey, Lyon finally saw a tightly closed door.
"Is this the warship's control room?"
After loading the last of his lightning bullets and taking a deep breath, Leon placed the card on the door.Authentication successful."
A mechanical electronic sound rang out, and the door slowly opened, revealing the full view of the control room that Lyon had been eagerly anticipating.
The control room was filled with futuristic displays and consoles, and... guards!
"...Intruder identified. Eliminated...eliminated..."
In the center of the control room, a humanoid robot with its upper body growing out of the floor slowly rose up, about six meters tall. Its head was simple in shape, and the camera under the mask was flashing red. Its hands were not like the machine guns or anything like that we had encountered before, but rather human-like arms!
Bang!
Gunshots rang out, and a lightning-type bullet was fired by Leon, hitting the robot's body squarely.
Sizzle!
A crackling sound rang out, and the lightning bullets, which had always been invincible, sparked upon hitting the robot this time. The robot then continued its attack on Leon without any problems.
"Damn it, why are they implementing short-circuit protection measures here?!"
Leon looked at the unharmed robot and complained, then took out the lightning bombs from his body.
"Hehe. Since bullets are useless, let's try the taste of bombs!"
After Leon threw the lightning bomb, he immediately turned around and hid behind the door.
"The attack caused by 'magic' has reached a dangerous level. A magic barrier will now be activated."
A mechanical electronic voice came through, followed by a white light shining from the robot's body, completely blocking the damage from the lightning bomb explosion.
Boom!
Hearing the explosion, Leon laughed.
"Haha. You've finally broken this time, haven't you?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I have a magical shield, so this kind of damage is useless against me."
The robot answered in a very serious tone.
"Aha! The robot has a magic shield, that's practically cheating! Holy crap."
Leon felt despair as he looked at the unharmed robot.
"Sir, it's perfectly normal for a high-tech robot to have methods to defend against magic. I didn't cheat."
The robot continued to answer Leon with a straight face, devoid of any emotion.
"Damn it. Looks like I have no choice but to use my ultimate move!"
Leon gave a low groan and took out all the cards from his hand.
"Hey! Big guy, look at these cards. I have all these cards!"
Upon hearing Leon's voice, the robot stopped in its tracks, its red eyes scanning the card before calmly giving a reply.
"The key card you possess belongs to a base employee. Your physical characteristics are clearly inconsistent with those of the individual or other employees. Furthermore, the likelihood of the holder still being alive and connected to the base is extremely low. Therefore, you are an intruder—and are excluded."
"Damn, this is inhuman!"
Leon spoke after escaping the robot's capture.
"Thank you for your approval. As a robot, I do not possess any human characteristics."
As the robot answered Leon, it reached out and grabbed his arm.
Bang! Smash!
Leon dodged and fought back, but even the most powerful lightning bombs couldn't damage the robot, so how could bullets possibly do any damage?
"Looks like we have no choice but to use our trump card!"
Leon bent down and threw the bomb strapped to his body.
"A bomb that can launch a magical attack? I'm useless against it right now—"
The robot's voice said that the bomb had exploded, causing thick smoke.
Bang!
An arm emerged from the thick smoke and nearly grabbed Leon.
"Damn, that's so despicable. Having a magic shield is one thing, but why aren't you worried about the bombs?"
"Thank you for your praise. Despicable acts in battle are a reward, thank you."
Listening to the robot's thanks, Leon felt like a clown.
After dodging for a while, Leon's stamina gradually decreased.
Seeing his stamina waning, his speed slowing down, and the danger of being captured by the robots, Leon's mind started racing again.
"Hey, you talk so much, you must be pretty smart. Why don't you just leave me alone? Aren't you lonely guarding this place all the time, you robot?"
The robot did not stop in the face of Leon's problems; it simply continued its pursuit.
"Thank you for your praise. However, as a guard robot, I will not let you off the hook, since you are a new human. Furthermore, as a robot, I cannot yet understand the meaning of your loneliness."
Lyon was speechless as he listened to the robot's serious reply.
"How can this guy be so stupid? And what the heck was that 'I'm a new human' thing?"
Several questions popped into Lyon's mind.
Bang!
The mechanical tentacles flew dangerously past Leon's eyes, denting the wall of the warship's control room!
Glug!
Leon stopped looking at the dented wall and turned his gaze to the red-eyed camera.
"Um... I surrender..."
Volume 1: Chapter 8 No way!
"I surrender!"
The sound of Leon giving up made the robot, which was about to capture him, pause for a moment.
It's clearly down!
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"
After a series of electronic beeps, the robot finally moved, retracting its arm and looking at Leon with its red eyes.
"Your Excellency, as members of the New Humans, you are sworn enemies with us. Why would you surrender?"
The robot was filled with questions, as its database contained no knowledge on this subject.
"Phew. That's great."
Leon looked at the robot that had stopped moving, slumped up, leaned against the wall, and took a deep breath.
"Sir, please answer my question first. Why do you, as a New Human, surrender?"
Seeing that Leon hadn't answered, the robot pressed its red eyes even closer, seemingly relentless.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Robot. How are you so sure I'm a new human?"
Leon didn't know what "new humans" meant, but that didn't stop him from fooling the robot in front of him, which seemed to have crashed.
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"
The familiar electronic voice came again, and the robot spoke after a brief pause.
"Humans who possess the overwhelming power of magic are the new humans, and your ability to use magic bullets clearly indicates that you are a descendant of the new humans."
The robot's words were full of logic, but they were no match for Leon's strong will to survive.
"Mr. Robot, your claim that I am a descendant of the new humans is completely unfounded without genetic analysis!"
Leon's voice was full of power and sounded fearless.
[How could I, a transmigrator, possibly be a new human?!]
"I understand, Your Excellency. Please follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the robot reached out its sinister arm to Leon, hugged him, and walked toward the control panel in the control room.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Leon's eyes widened in fear as he looked at the robot with a small knife protruding from its arm.
"Sir, in order to determine whether you are a new human, we need to collect your blood for testing."
The knife drew closer to Leon, its cold glint reflecting off Leon's struggling body.
"Amelo!!!"
Lyon's agonizing screams rang out.
The knife eventually slashed at the helpless Leon, cutting his finger and drawing bright red blood.
"It hurts so much!"
At this moment, Leon looked at the robot with tears welling up in his eyes.
Having lost his adrenaline, he was now as pathetic as a dog that had fallen into the water.
"I'm sorry, sir."
After the robot apologized, it waited for the result.
Leon looked at the robot that hadn't put him down and immediately removed his disguise, waiting for the result with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
"strangeness?"
An electronic voice came through, and Leon looked at the robot that had grabbed him.
"Your Excellency, that's not my voice. It's the warship's artificial intelligence."
The robot explained very kindly.
"Excuse me, what was the result?"
Upon hearing that the warship possessed an artificial intelligence, Leon raised his head, his face filled with reverence.
"Human, your genes contain both new and old human traits. Also, human, you can remove your disguise. As an artificial intelligence, I will not be deceived by your appearance."
The AI's cold voice rang out, and Leon, seeing this, could only revert to his original form, looking at the two of them with a displeased expression.
"Alright. Since I possess the genes of the old humans, please put me down. As the sole surviving member of the old humans, I believe you have an obligation to assist and protect me."
"What an interesting human being! Please tell me your name."
"Lyon!"
"Leon von Bartofalter!!!"
Feeling his feet standing on the deck again, Leon smiled and said.
"I understand, Leon von Bartofalt. From now on, you are my master."
