Smack!
The robot actively disconnected the cable at the back of the head that connected the crystal.
Looking at the intricate and sophisticated war hammer in Jace's hand, Victor chose to protect himself and did not rush forward, but asked these robots to stop filtering the toxins in the human brain first and do their best to solve Jace.
The large number of robots rushed at him, which made Jace feel panicked, and he had never experienced the threat of death despite his smooth career and life.
He realized that he hadn't used Mercury since he had made him.
The speed of the mech's charge was fast, surpassing the normal running speed of a normal human, and Jace was completely encircled before he could convert the warhammer into cannon form.
When the first cyborg rushed into range, he picked up the hammer with all his might, and the crystal's energy surged into his muscles, swinging the hammer so hard that Jace began to worry that it would fly out of his hand.
The hammer slammed into the mech, blasting it into pieces of metal with a single blow.
In the face of the tragic death of their comrades, the other machines did not waver in the slightest, and still rushed towards Jace at full speed, menacing and aggressive.
Jace analyzed the formation of the mechanical army in front of him and tried to quickly calculate how to solve the most enemies with the least number of attacks.
But this is meaningless, he has been staying in the workshop to invent, whether it is the control of weapons and the control of combat has no experience, the speed of the hand can not keep up with the consciousness, just now the amplitude of the war hammer was too much, too late to retract the block, and was thrown to the ground by several robots.
In his hurry, he only had time to open the lightning field of the Mercury Hammer, these robots were not equipped with weapons, and could only use the most primitive limb collisions to inflict damage on Jace, but in the lightning field, the control of the robots was disturbed, and the strength of punches and kicks was much weaker.
But even so, Jace, who was in a hurry to go out without any protection, was still beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen, and the electricity was thrown through the mechanical fist and conducted to his skin, paralyzing his limbs and pain.
He lost the ability to resist!
Victor wanted to unleash a laser with his third hand to end Jace's physical pain, but he couldn't do it. Jace was surrounded by robots, and Victor didn't want to destroy them.
Jace fell to the ground and endured punches and kicks, an angular, metallic toe kick in front of him, and he subconsciously looked up, dodging the fatal kick, but his eye socket was still bleeding from the bearing of his foot.
By chance, he saw Victor's eyes hidden under the mask through the densely swaying mechanical legs.
The eyes are not full of victory, but of sorrow.
Jace read the sadness in a moment:
Victor defeats Jace.
Steel knocks out flesh.
His future has no room for old friends.
Jace vanished into the sea of steel arms boiling.
It's a pity to lose an opponent.
Jace's arrogance would not tolerate this, and he no longer felt flustered, and said to himself in a firm and powerful tone:
"Jace! Fight for a better tomorrow! ”
The lightning field was subsequently closed.
Sharper pain fell on him like a torrential rain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, and after no longer being paralyzed by the electricity, his limbs slowly regained control.
For the first time in his life, Jace decided to stop thinking and go for the havoc, no longer thinking about his own safety, and used every inch of his strength to break free from Victor's mechanical army.
Jace stood up again, his hammer quickly transforming into a cannon, and the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the shimmering pulsating Shurima crystal, and an electromagnetic cannon blasted over.
The speed of the electromagnetic cannon was very fast, and as soon as it was shot out here, the toxin dialysis device over there had already been blown into a pile of broken copper and iron.
The crystal must have been affected by the explosion, but when the smoke cleared, Jace saw that the crystal was still intact, lying quietly in the pile of rubble, continuing to emit a beautiful shimmer.
He immediately figured out the reason, the energy of the Mercury Cannon was provided by crystal shards, how could it be possible to cause damage to the mother body? He should have used physical means to destroy the crystal.
He began to regret it, why did he not bring his brains to recklessness this time, and there was a problem with recklessness?
Victor won't let Jace continue to make trouble, he must quickly end the fight and repair the device. He gave the Mechs a new attack order, and he slashed at Jace with a laser.
A burst of energy came from the weapon, injected into Jace's muscles, and he shook off the cyborg behind him with far faster than usual, leaping over Victor's death ray, and at the same time the weapon in his hand switched back to the form of a warhammer, and after a short run, he jumped high, just like Victor did to himself, and picked up the Mercury Hammer with all his strength, and smashed it into the crystal!
"You smashed my face with crystals, and now I'll smash your crystals with a warhammer!"
"No!" Victor cried out in horror, and the emotions he thought had been completely abandoned welled up in this instant.
He could only watch as the crystal was blown into countless pieces, and most of the energy inside was released, turning into a shockwave that engulfed everyone.
A powerful impact pushed Victor far away, and the back of his head, which was not protected by steel, slammed directly into the wall, and he fainted immediately.
The robots who had made the human brain carrier body in a makeshift rush could not dodge it, and all of them were brain dead in an instant, lying motionless on the ground.
On the contrary, it was Jace who bore the brunt of the attack, because the energy position of the crystal fragment resisted some of the impact force, and received the least damage, except for the shock in his body that was a little uncomfortable, his limbs were still able to move.
He noticed that the walls of the factory were starting to shake, and it must have been the shock wave that had destroyed the load-bearing structure.
Jace spread his legs and ran towards the exit, and as soon as he fled outside, the building behind him completely collapsed.
He looked back at the factory behind him, where Victor was buried in the ruins with his Iron Legion, all wiped out.
Jace didn't rummage through the rubble for Victor's body, he was in pain all over, and he needed to go back to his hospital bed and see the doctor to see how many bones he had broken.
But before that, he had to make a trip to the Leather City Science and Technology Association and report Victor's appalling plan to the association's leaders.
However, strangely, after receiving the report, the group immediately sent people down to clean up the scene, but did not find Victor's body.
But beyond this information, everything else fits Jace's description, and after the group recovered all the crystal shards, they praised Jace for his heroic deeds, which made him make the headlines of the newspaper.
Soon, Jace became a hot topic for both Zaan and Piltover.
He was praised for his quick moments of crisis, and he finally became a beloved figure (at least, those who didn't know him) and earned himself the nickname "Guardian of the Future".
Jace didn't care about the love of the citizens of Piltover, but he still accepted the nickname in his heart.
He knew Victor was still alive.
Someday, it could be tomorrow – Piltover is in for a lot of trouble.
Jace awaited that day.

……
Britz dug through the rubble, having just arrived from the waste discharge pond in the trench, and was very dirty, covered in a lot of alchemical waste.
No, a plague rat that was everywhere in the gutter liked the pungent chemical smell of Britz and came to the ruins on it.
The sound of Britz moving away the stone scared the sensitive plague rat away, and it fled into a crack in the rock, where it saw a small shiny piece.
This thing is not as big as its front teeth, and the hardness is just right for grinding teeth, and the ground powder is delicious.
Much better than alchemy scraps!
So the plague rat took him in his mouth, found the drain in the factory and got into it.
At this time, Britz just found Victor, who was crushed under the dangerous wall, unconscious.
