Norma Star, Flower Capital.

The night is as deep as ink, and the infinite extension of the sky and the earth is submerged, submerging the dense skyscrapers and ecological gardens in the metropolis. The flower-filled city of the past seems to have melted into the boundless darkness at this moment, wrapped in a cloud of vague and indistinguishable ink.

After the mechanical mutation broke out in the mecha research center, the thermostat equipment that maintained the temperature in the capital also failed, and the cold haze enveloped the entire city. At this moment, the cold rain is still dripping, silting up the streets that have lost their ability to drain into streams, washing the city that has suddenly fallen into a terrorist attack.

At night, there were many figures, hideous and heavy figures speeding through the darkness. On the shopping street outside the mecha R&D center, two black shadows were entangled like ghosts, colliding with dazzling sparks. As they grappled, the roar of metal clashing became more and more intense, mingling with the ink-like night.

Under the deep night covered by the rain, the flash of the guns was like lightning, accompanied by a roar in the sky.

Gurg——!

With a crisp sound of metal breaking, one of the black shadows in the melee lost his left arm and fell to the ground with his balance thrown off. Two puffs of white gas erupted from the cockpit behind him, which bounced out in an instant - the pilot hurriedly jumped out of the hatch, bathed in the cold rain, and stumbled into a narrow alley.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The driver took a big breath, his chest rose and fell violently, endured the invasion of the cold rain, and did not dare to stop wading through the water. As his steps rose and fell, the crystal clear icy water splashed all the way, gradually flushing a hint of scarlet, and the smell of blood flowed backwards along the stagnant water from the front.

He was taken aback, and looked up straight ahead, where a pitch-black figure was standing silently at the exit of the alleyway. Holding a three-meter-long cutting sword in both hands, there seemed to be a flash of red light in the cross-shaped eyeholes.

"End...... It's over!"

The driver looked desperate, his body shivered under the double erosion of cold and fear, and his legs went limp, and he suddenly fell to the pale red water.

呲——呲——!

The mechanical monster stared at the prey in front of him, dragging the cutting sword and approaching it unhurriedly, cutting a series of sparks on the ground of the sharply swirling tooth chain.

The sides of its spine spewed thin black flames, like the wings of fallen angels, a sign of the power furnace running at great speed. Originally, this power had to be unlocked artificially before it could be used, but now the mechanical warrior is completely out of control and is able to operate in spite of the wear and tear of overload.

"What the hell is this...... What the hell is going on?"

The terrifying aura rushed to his face like a tidal wave, the driver's pupils contracted to a point, flashing with a timid light, and his heartbeat became more and more rapid as the other party approached.

How did things come to be like this?

An elite driver like himself should have spent his whole body in flowers and applause.

Why do you suddenly have to fight such a monster!?

“......”

A gust of wind blew, rolling up the cold rain of the night, piercing his skin like a needle.

Boom ——!

Just when the driver was about to pee his pants in the abyss, a series of blazing white barrages tilted on the mechanical monster, blasting it into a flash of flames.

Moments before the death of this battle hero, the intelligent guards in the city finally arrived at the scene!

One-one-one-one-one-one

The torrential rain brought great convenience to the stealth of the intelligent guards, and the rumbling sound of the rain masked their heavy steps, and by this distance they could already form an encirclement network. The mechanical warriors formed a circle around the monster, raining fire on it mercilessly, destroying the weakest parts of its armor.

Ahh

With a sound like a dying scream, an invisible shockwave exploded around the body of the mechanical monster, spreading in all directions. When this shock wave rolled up the rain curtain and spread, countless boiling sounds rang out. The icy night wind suddenly swirled wildly, the roar of the barrage became blurred, and the white frost spread from the feet of the mechanical monsters, and the stagnant water in its path instantly froze into ice.

Click——!

A frosty mist quickly engulfed the entire alleyway, blurring everything.

Immediately afterward, the body of the Intelligent Guardian instantly froze, like a sculpture frozen in the terrifying low temperature. The next moment, bullet-like ice blades appeared out of thin air, raining down on these incapacitated metal bodies. Everywhere they passed, the intelligent guards shattered one after another, and countless cold metal fragments fell like snowflakes.

In an instant, where the frost shrouded, all the mechanical warriors were shattered into slag.

The driver had already run out of the roadway because he fled the scene at the first time, and he was able to escape from the frost coverage. But before he could relax his heart a little, he felt a huge figure gallop behind him, and a heart hung in his throat before he could let go.

Sneer——!

The mechanical monster poked out the mechanical arm from behind the prey, stretched out five fingers with the steel claws, and swept the head with its arched back, directly grasping the opponent in his hand. Immediately after, the robotic arm lifted up, and the driver was grabbed by the amazing force, screaming and standing on the ground.

"Don't kill me! I don't want to die!

Accompanied by the driver's mournful wail, the body of the mechanical monster trembled, the electric light on the surface of the body flashed, and the bearing spun. The huge mechanical body actually disintegrated itself at this moment, and all kinds of extremely sophisticated circuit structures flashed in the air, expanding into mechanical balls under the washing of the torrential rain, leaving behind the pitch-black glue inside.

"Don't come!

The driver who was caught by the robotic arm couldn't move, so he could only watch the black glue spread along the arm and gradually converge on himself. Soon, his body began to shake violently, apparently in great pain.

“......”

He raised his head and roared, his face was bruised, and all the capillaries on the surface of his eyes were congested and ruptured, but he couldn't make any sound. The scene was silent but tragic, and the black glue seemed to be some kind of high-strength acid, gradually dissolving the person's body.

The driver's pupils gradually whitened, and finally the pupils seemed to melt into the whites of the eyes, and the thin body was completely integrated with the black glue. Through the glue on the surface of his body, he could even see his ribs and his heart beating rapidly.

Goo ——!

The erosion is complete, and the driver is sucked into the mechanical sphere, which begins to reshape the body.

A few seconds later, the black monster stood again in the wind and rain, and the armor of its body suddenly opened, spewing out dense high-temperature air currents. It strode away from the shopping street, its jet-black wings of flame spreading out from behind. With this action, a series of criss-crossing electric lights instantly crossed the sky over the entire city, illuminating the mechanical monsters that filled the city.

One by one, one by one

The council high above the city, although it was above the clouds, was also filled with a cold and gloomy atmosphere. From time to time, lightning flashed above the clouds, and the sudden wind crashed against the window glass, shaking the tempered glass slightly, and even the originally constant light became flickering at this time.

The towering conference table is inlaid with art, gems, and flowers, and the silver chairs rotate along the conference table to the highest and most central consul's seat, as if it were a magnificent stage.

The high-ranking Normar officials dressed in gorgeous costumes sat in their seats, and the atmosphere was gloomy to the extreme.

"How so?" said a pale-looking Norma official.

"It's happened, is it still pointy to ask how this is happening? Now the question is what should we do? The entire capital's defenses have been completely paralyzed, and under the influence of some unknown force, our mechanical warriors are constantly mutiniing. One of them said with a sharp voice.

"Just a few minutes ago, another elite driver gave his life for Norma. Someone's tone was very agitated.

"Shadow creatures! It must be shadow creatures!"

The officers of the Ministry of Armed Forces stood up and screamed in panic: "After so long of hibernation, they have finally evolved new abilities! We can't win, we must report to the Federation!"

"The Federation has just withdrawn most of the troops of the Eastern Military District, and now it can only protect itself, and it is not able to support us at all. "Some people are even more angry.

"Evacuate, since you are being targeted by shadow creatures, it proves that this planet is hopeless. We can't stay here and die, the great Norma civilization needs people to pass it on!" someone said.

Just when the high-ranking officials were discussing, suddenly the breath of slaughter came to their faces, and the alloy door of the House of Representatives suddenly opened. With the wind suddenly swept into the room, a slender Nevar appeared in front of them in a backless night gown with a grim expression.

“......”

He looked up at the high-ranking officials at the table, looked at the eyes cast at him, straightened his messy hair, and suddenly said loudly: "There is no need to evacuate our home...... I've made a pact with the shadow creatures, and as long as I help them get the Divine Source Machine of Hyperion, they will spare our planet. ”

"Are you sure!?"

"It's no joke!"

"No way!How could a shadow creature make a contract with humans. ”

As his voice spread through the space, the high-ranking officials of the Norma Republic seemed to grasp the straw and stood up one after another to determine the veracity of their statements. In the face of the opportunity for peace, the occasional question or two could not stir up the waves, and it was quickly drowned in the long-awaited inquiry.

"I can guarantee it!"

Nevar let out a long sigh before leaning sideways to open the door behind him. The air rippled in circles, and the figures of the three mechanical monsters turned from virtual to real, appearing in front of the high-ranking officials of Norma.

"These are the representatives of the Shadow Creatures! They can assure you that the Normars only need the Shadow World to provide mechanical warriors to assist in the attack on Hyperion. The Normars will be treated like allies, and they will not say anything about what we do, and they will get out of Norma as soon as they get the star of Hyperion!"

As Nivar introduced loudly, he clenched his left fist and raised it above his head, revealing a sacrosanct gesture:

"For the peace of Norma!"

"For the peace of Norma!"

As if infected by his spirit, some of the high-ranking officials hurriedly stood up, avoiding the sight of the mechanical monsters, and shouted loudly with solemn expressions.

"For the peace of Norma!"

More high-ranking officials stood up with different expressions, raised their heads to look at the national emblem of the Norma Republic, and raised their voices with determination.
