Chapter 106: Rhodes the Hacker

Hextech is also a manifestation of magic - or a branch of the use of energy.

Because of Hextech, Lady Piltworth and the Zaun have focused on tools rather than themselves, and they have done what they want through various Hextech creations.

Although sometimes, in order to make it more convenient, the Picheng people and the Zuan people will give themselves a certain degree of body modification. But personally, Hextech is always an external force.

In Rod's view, external forces mean instability and unreliability to some extent.

When I was in Lanxing, except for those athletes, everyone was using external forces—because there was no cultivation at that time, and there was no such thing as cultivation.

But after arriving in Azeroth, after studying at Violet Academy for so long, Rhodes completely fell in love with the feeling of everything on his own.

You could say that Rod is stubborn and likes personal heroism – but in reality, this way of doing everything on his own is really convenient most of the time.

For example...... Right now!

Piltover's Hex God of War mecha is truly terrifying.

But the manipulator himself is neither a provider of energy nor a programmer, and while Jagu can control the weapon of war—but a different person sitting in his place can do it.

And because of the commonality between Hex's technology and magic, plus some news from Catherine, although Rhodes did not sit in the cab, he was able to interfere with the operation of Hex's God of War to a certain extent.

That's right, Rod's arcane is like a hacker's virus, infecting Hex.

While the infection wasn't enough to inflict a counter-attack, it was enough to send the behemoth out of control.

It's like in a war, when a weapon with a strong electromagnetic field interferes with all the electronic control systems of the tank.

In front of Jagu, all kinds of warnings and mistakes came one after another.

The left thruster failed to start.

Ammunition reloading failed.

The laser cutting module is wrong.

Even the display area of the observation module was covered with snowflakes......

Jagu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

This...... It's horrible!

The Hexval mech is completely out of control in the unknown storm caused by Rhodes!

As the propulsion on the left side stalled, the entire mech spun in a bend that was close to a right angle, and then rushed out in front of Rhodes.

The massive mech ploughed a deep furrow into the ground, and with the action of a single engine, the Hexvyl spun like a runaway spinning top, spun rapidly and sprang out in an unknown direction.

Jagu in the cab was completely confused at this point, even with the help of anti-gravity devices.

Jagu's ear drums seemed to burst, the eye pressure was too high, the picture in front of him flickered and darkened, and the sudden high-speed irregular movement made him have a headache, nausea, and almost vomit.

Luckily, the arcane storm that Rhodes caused had a limited range.

Eight hundred yards is a long way off, but the extremely fast Hex's Ares mech traversing the range of the storm is a breath away.

After passing through the Arcane Storm, the Hex-Wars quickly began a system self-test - and the entire mech regained control.

Just before crashing into the cliff, Jagu took control of the mech.

Instead of braking suddenly, the engine below was activated, and the entire mecha soared into the sky.

Kankan escaped the fate of crashing into a cliff.

Jagu was sweating profusely—he never imagined that Piltover's ultimate Hex weapon would fail.

And it's such a failure!

As soon as he took a photo, his Hexvalkyrie mecha went out of control!

If Rod uses this spell in Piltover once......

The consequences are really unimaginable!

When did someone in Zuan actually master the ability to counter Hextech?

If the war doesn't start right away, maybe the Zuans will have a chance to fight back against Picheng!

This time, Jagu didn't attack Rhodes again - he just boosted the engine's power to the maximum and left.

Gotta start an all-out battle with this guy called Rhodes!

In Jagu's opinion, Rhodes' existence has affected the survival of Hextech - this horrific interference method must not be left behind!

(I, Jagu Mydarda, am by no means greedy for life or afraid of death, by no means!) )

Seeing that the Hexvals was out of the range of the Arcane Storm and then left directly, Rhodes also sealed his power again. The vast amount of arcane energy vanished in an instant—and no one knew that under Rod's hood, a small strand of hair had turned white.

Power always comes at a price.

Having lost his staff, Rhodes forcibly used this terrible power at the cost of his own life force.

But...... The good thing is that everything goes well.

Previously, Rhodes and Catherine had made a series of plans for the reaction of the Pitt City Supreme Council, and the one that was most beneficial to Rhodes was the use of the Hexwalker by the Leather City High Council.

That meant that not only would Rhodes win easily, but he would also be able to make the Piltover Supreme Council misestimate his own strength – and perhaps start a war with a risk.

Shaking his head, Rhodes didn't think much more.

Tonight's main drama has come to an end, and as for the bruised-faced Jace-Rod believes that Victor can convince his good friend.

Now the new question that Rhodes needs to think about is:

How to clean up Jinx, this bear Lori.

Glancing at the Violet Dream that was lifted aside by himself and completely finished, Rod couldn't help but feel angina.

My tavern......

Svein's background has changed (on the test suit), but no problem!

Breaking the seal meant that the weakened Rhodes was forced to use Life Split, one of Rod's hole cards.
