Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 RE Village (16)

Heisenberg was furious that Theodore's presence was disrupting his domain. 

He slammed his magnetic hammer, wrenching massive pieces of rebar and machinery from the walls and flinging them at the gamer.

"I will crush you, little brat! Your speed is nothing against the power of the earth's core!" 

Heisenberg roared, creating a swirling vortex of metallic debris around himself.

Theodore activated his Eagle Eyes skill, the intense precision allowing him to predict the exact trajectory of every projectile. 

He focused his Ascalon blade, which was faintly shimmering with the chaotic energy from Beneviento's Flask.

"Your attacks are slow, and your hitboxes are too big!" 

Theodore yelled. He didn't try to stop the metal; he used the small field of magnetic confusion around his sword to momentarily divert the nearest projectiles. 

A large chunk of steel that should have crushed him was instead sent careening into the vortex, disrupting Heisenberg's concentration.

[Eagle Eyes Duration Remaining: 40 seconds]

Theodore countered by hurling a Black Firebomb (Dark Souls). The dark flame struck Heisenberg's chest plate. 

The protective metal, already stressed by the magnetism, began to corrode and burn with the persistent, dark fire.

"Gah! What is that?!" 

Heisenberg staggered back, his metal armor hissing from the corrosive, mystical attack.

Theodore, seeing the weakness, pushed his attack. He pulled out a handful of Lightning Pots (Elden Ring). 

He threw them rapidly, one after another, aiming for the joints and exposed circuitry of the magnetic armor.

CRACKLE! POP!

The electrical shock was devastating to the armored Lord, causing his power lines to short-circuit. 

Heisenberg's connection to the larger magnetic field of the Factory flickered, weakening his control.

"You are cheating! Those are things that shouldn't exist!" 

Heisenberg screamed, frantically trying to repair his damaged systems.

While Theodore engaged the Lord, the rest of the team battled the growing army of Soldats. These half-metal, half-Lycane abominations were fast and relentless.

Alcina was a force of nature. She used her towering height and immense strength to intercept the Soldats before they could reach Ethan or the fragile machinery near Rose. 

Her fists, once driven by parasite malice, were now weapons of liberation. 

She grabbed two Soldats at once and slammed their metal bodies together, crushing their internal workings with a sickening crunch.

"Focus on their weak points! The back vents!" 

Alcina commanded, remembering the Factory blueprints.

Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela used their natural, high speed to swarm the mechanical soldiers. 

They darted around the Soldats' slow, heavy attacks, using their environment and teamwork. 

Cassandra, moving with brutal grace, grabbed a rusted pipe and used it to pry open a Soldat's back vent, allowing Daniela to empty a full clip of Ethan's upgraded ammo directly into the sensitive machinery.

Ethan, positioned near Rose's glass tube, acted as the primary support and suppression unit.

He unleashed a barrage of explosive rounds from the grenade launcher at any Soldat that got too close to Alcina, keeping her safe from being overwhelmed.

"Stay back from Rose!"

Ethan yelled, firing his V61 Custom into the head of a charging Soldat, the high-precision rounds finding their mark instantly. 

He was a capable fighter, but the Dimitrescu family's presence—their raw, unbridled power—was the only reason they were surviving this siege.

"They're coming from the conveyor belt!" 

Bela shouted.

Theodore saw his opportunity. Heisenberg, reeling from the elemental attacks, had gathered a massive amount of scrap metal into one colossal, magnetic crush attack aimed at the entire group.

"He's going for a full wipe!" 

Theodore yelled.

He pulled out the Beneviento's Flask and poured the remaining contents onto the floor near Heisenberg's magnetic control platform. 

The chaotic psychic energy dispersed into the Factory's magnetic circuits.

The overwhelming magnetic field Heisenberg had created suddenly went haywire. 

The giant metal sphere aimed at the team sputtered, then reversed, violently colliding with Heisenberg's platform.

BOOOOM! 

The platform exploded into sparks, sending Heisenberg staggering back toward the massive central generator that powered his Factory.

"My control! You little glitch!" 

Heisenberg shrieked, weakened but not defeated. 

He rushed to the generator, intending to overload the system and crush the entire Factory.

Theodore, his Wind Walk still on cooldown, acted instantly. He pulled out the Sunlight Spear (Dark Souls), imbued it with his absolute focus, and hurled the brilliant bolt of energy directly at the exposed power coupling of the central generator.

ZZZZZZZZT! CRACKLE!

The generator exploded in a blinding flash of white and green electricity, cascading a powerful feedback loop directly into Heisenberg.

Heisenberg screamed as the wild electrical energy ripped through his body. 

His metallic form collapsed into a broken, sparking heap near the power station.

[Lord Defeated: Karl Heisenberg]

[Experience Gained: 7500]

[Exp 73.128%]

[Item Dropped: Heisenberg's Flask]

The Soldats immediately went limp. The fight was over.

Theodore didn't pause. 

"Ethan! Rose! Now!"

Ethan ran to the glass tube, grabbing his daughter just as 

Theodore rushed to the fallen Lord, collecting the last, vital Flask.

"Only one Lord left," 

Theodore muttered, looking at the incomplete flask. "Mother Miranda."
