Chapter 149: Gladiatorial Fight
Fu Qinghai, escorted by five Cybertrons, followed the one-eyed Cybertron who walked in front to the legendary ...... The Colosseum of the City of Caron.
The expression on his face was relaxed and natural.
There was no sign of panic or fear.
He still has a lot of hole cards in his hand!
There are a lot of tricks that haven't been used.
But so what?
Suddenly there was a frenzy, and all six Cybertrons were killed, and then they went to find the other Cybertrons, and if the other Cybertrons were so unfriendly, then repeat the operation and then go to find the next victims?
It's endless.
Using the data network of the Blue Black into Cybertron to obtain information, the road has been blocked. Fu Qinghai felt that he urgently needed an identity now, an identity to integrate into Cybertron's society, even if it didn't matter if this identity was a thief, a criminal, or a jobless vagrant, it was better than hiding in the shadows and watching but not knowing anything, besides......
Gladiator?
It doesn't seem to be a particularly bad identity.
Fu Qinghai thought secretly.
Angron was also a gladiator.
In the distance, the city's buildings are already in sight.
β¦β¦
The Great Wilderness.
Jazz transforms into a vehicle, a four-wheeled sports car, speeding across the vast plains as far as the eye can see, surrounded by uninhabited people, pulling up a trail of smoke and dust.
This journey is not a short one. From the Iron Keep, he first reached Blade City, bypassing the Well of the Tinder Source, the source of life for all Cybertrons, and then through the Ring Rail Province and into the Rusty Sea to the Southern Sonic Canyon.
Eventually, we arrived at our destination.
The coordinates marked by Orion Pikes.
But again, there is no living thing here.
"That's kind of bad......"
Jazz reverted back to his human form, frowning.
He saw ruts and indentations on the side of the road.
The ruts converge into a road that leads into the distance.
That's the direction of the city of Karon.
"Could it be in Karon?"
Jazz said to himself:
"That's not good news."
β¦β¦
Of course, Jazz knew what kind of place Caron was.
The scene of two or more Cybertrons beating each other and tearing each other to pieces cannot be described as pleasant. However, the Colosseum in the lower part of the city is one of the most popular tourist destinations on Cybertron, and the communication network is constantly broadcasting the recent gladiatorial events. The only industry in CuarΓ³n that can rival the gladiatorial industry is medical care. Therefore, the mechanical surgeons of Caron City and its rival Slaughter City are all extremely skilled.
Gladiatorial fighting was illegal throughout Cybertron, but the Supreme Council was wise enough to realize that the class-based crowd occasionally needed something to break the law. The Colosseum of the City of Caron was originally nothing more than a recreation for the workers of the Great Foundry, but now, despite its violation of Cybertron laws, the gladiatorial industry is unshakable. Caron City is next door to Slaughter City, which is basically the same.
Karon covers an area about three times the surface area of the Iron Fort, and the city is always covered in smoke and heavy metal compounds that never fade. The Ironfort's architectural ensemble always stretches upwards, with many towers and vaults, residential areas with spires, and many other architectural marvels.
The Caron, on the other hand, resembles a mass of black rubble huddled together, with large mechanical structures leaning against each other and new buildings piled up on top of them. The whole city looks as if it was blown up by an orbital bomb and then put together piece by piece by blind miniature King Kong.
Jazz uses his vehicle form to travel through the outskirts of Karon, and when he approaches the central city, he transforms back into his human form. He wanted to find out where the biggest gladiatorial arena in Karon City was. He had a hunch that if the alien race disappeared into Karon City, then the gladiatorial arena would be the best place for him to goβand the crime syndicate in Karon City had no other estate.
The city lacks planning and has a patchwork of transportation routes. There are also drainage channels and walking trails overhead...... If you don't have a communication network interface and satellite navigation to guide you, you're bound to get lost. Jazz thought to himself.
Sir hiked all the way to find the building he had just heard, the largest gladiatorial arena in the city of Karon, which was just south of the city, between two mines.
β¦β¦
The city of Karon, the gladiatorial arena.
The arena was rectangular and large enough for an entire legion to practice here, with a length of 300 semis and a width of 200 semies. The Colosseum was built of ore gravel, which was crushed scrap from the foundry, and the metal content was too low to be of any other use.
The wreckage of the machines scattered around the arena, as well as piles of burning garbage, are a bit dazzling to look at, and they also create endless opportunities for ambushes and sneak attacks. On the perimeter of the Colosseum there are four levels of auditoriums, which are connected to a ceiling more than 100 semimeters high.
"Winter! Winter! Winter! Winter! β
Lighting includes a wide range of wavelengths, from infrared to ultraviolet, and the entire site is perfectly visible. The stands were crowded with workers from the Karon Foundry and the Elemental Refinery, stomping their feet rhythmically, causing each floor of the stands to rock up and down, challenging the pressure limits of the steel structure. The noise was deafening, and when it came to the real gladiatorial fight, the arena would be so loud that even the audio sensors could only emit a constant white noise, and the gladiators fought in the noise.
Champions League.
The self-named name of a gladiator from the gladiatorial world.
Now, this competition is about to begin.
"All of themβ"
A loud whistle sounded.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
"Welcome to the Colosseum of Karon City!"
The host's voice echoed through the loudspeaker:
"I know a lot of you, from Iron Keep, from Karon, from Crystal City, from Moxie Heavenly City, from Hydra Island, from Cloud Mountain City...... You come from different classes, you have different identities. β
"But here, in this moment."
"You're enjoying the same pleasure!"
"That's the thrill of violence!"
"Take off the mask of hypocrisy and don't try to disguise! Throw away your self-deception and morality, and you want to see one Cybertron tear apart another! May I ask all the audience, am I right? β
The host roared loudly.
"Hoo βββ"
There was a shout at the scene.
This is followed by a continuous stomping of the feet.
"But today!"
The host's words suddenly changed:
"We're going to have a different kind of gladiator."
The scene gradually fell silent.
"In the past, the Cybertron civilization was in contact with civilizations from other planets, and the Cybertrons visited other planets. Through the use of a network of space bridges built through lost ancient technology, the Cybertrons on distant planets can also keep in touch with their home planet. Giants, Speeds, and even Medium Cores were once part of the great Cybertron civilization. β
The moderator's tone was impassioned.
"It was a memorable time. But now, as we all know, the space bridge has long since degraded and collapsed, and the last space bridge was still between two moons and the asteroid belt, but it was deactivated a long, long time ago. β
In the audience, people looked at each other and discussed.
I don't know what the host did when he suddenly mentioned these old things? Don't...... Will Cybertrons from other planets come here, to the Colosseum of Caron?
The thought of this possibility.
All the audience was immediately excited.
The whole audience gradually became noisy.
"I know what you're thinking."
The host said with a smile.
"But what I want to say is, surprise, beyond your imagination! This gladiator we're about to have isn't even Cybertron! He claims to be human, an alien race that we have never heard of or seen! β
Mankind?
A question mark rose in the hearts of all the audience.
What's that?
"Hulalala!"
All the spotlights in the arena suddenly turned in unison.
Focused on a spot on the edge of the field.
There stood an inconspicuous armored gnome.
Fu Qinghai lowered his head and was checking the equipment.
Explosive pistols? The power is too small to be considered.
Explosive pistol? Transformers are not carbon-based creatures.
Gravity pistol? This one can be considered.
At the request of the organizers of the gladiatorial arena, he took off his helmet and revealed his face. At this moment, facing the gaze of thousands of Cybertrons, Fu Qinghai was expressionless and indifferent, just pulling the bolt to check the bullet.
"This is a human?"
"He's so small."
"It's a little bigger than Mini King Kong."
"It doesn't look like it."
The audience in the gladiatorial arena was full of discussions.
"He's not just a human, he's a warrior!"
The host abruptly raised his voice.
drowned out the chatter at the scene.
"He calls himself a 'Space Marine'! Wow, listen, what a terrible, what a terrible title. β
There was some teasing and ridicule in the host's tone.
The audience laughed too.
"So, then, it's up to us to give this human warrior a great Cybertron-like challenge, a Caron-style welcome ceremony. The gladiatorial battle is about to begin! β
The host finished his lines.
Fu Qinghai put on a helmet.
The eyepiece suddenly lit up with a scarlet glow.
The doors of the Colosseum slammed open.
Fu Qinghai held the chainsaw sword in both hands, and waited for the battle.
"Wow! Quack quack! β
Five miniature King Kong rushed out with weapons in hand.
What? Mini King Kong?
Fu Qinghai said in surprise.
That's too contemptible, isn't it?
Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked.
The odds are written on the big screen of the Colosseum: Human Space Marine, win (1.97), lose (1.88).
What? There are still people who buy me to lose?
Fu Qinghai was so angry that his teeth itched.
It really doesn't make sense.
Fu Qinghai retracted his gaze and strode towards the five mini King Kongs in front of him. These gladiatorial arena miniature King Kongs, not cute on the outside, but rather wicked, they are about the height of human children, strangely shaped, as simple as a bunch of mechanical chimeras, wielding circular saws, welding guns and drill bits, and some small-caliber laser guns and ion guns.
βbiuοΌβ
Fu Qinghai tilted his head slightly and dodged a shot.
βbiuοΌβ
Fu Qinghai casually raised his sword to block a laser shot.
"Die!"
The first three mini King Kong jumped forward.
The Blue Fang chainsaw sword slashed from the bottom up.
"Bang-click!"
The six-petal mechanism falls to the ground.
The three mini-King Kongs split in half, their fractures smooth and neat, even flatter than the surface of their uneven and rough bodies, and only after a moment did an oily liquid gush out.
The blade of the sword just raised and slashed down again, a white light flashed in the air in the shape of "enter", the saw blade slashed to the left, and then slashed a mini King Kong, not waiting for the wrist to turn and twist the hilt, but swept directly to the right, the wide blade of the Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword slapped heavily on the last mini King Kong - it was holding a bomb-shaped object in its arms!
"Smack-boom!"
Mini King Kong was slapped and flew out.
Then the volley exploded and disintegrated into pieces.
All five mini-Donkey Kong die in one turn.
Assimilation point bonus is not prompted.
What's going on?
Fu Qinghai thought secretly.
Because the opponent is a mini King Kong?
The relationship between Mini-King Kong and Transformers in Cybertron society is similar to the relationship between the Farts and Orcs in Orc society. In the film version of Transformers, Mini King Kong is a miniature Transformer, and there is nothing special about it. But in G1 Transformers, Mini King Kong is a cell of the Emperor of the Universe in terms of setting, and it is not the same as the Transformers from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. I don't know what kind of situation the mini-King Kong in the Transformers United Universe belongs to.
At this time, the Colosseum is very quiet.
Fu Qinghai put his hands together, pressed the end of the handle of the chainsaw, and stood in the center of the pestle sword, without raising his sword to cheer, without venting his roar, just standing calmly.
It's as if nothing had happened.
He was responding to the Cybertrons' contempt for him with this silent silence, which was visible to everyone in the audience, including the host and other gladiators.
"Good. It seems that Mini King Kong does not pose the slightest threat to human warriors. It was very easy and devastating, and the human warriors won the first game. So, the new bets have begun, and let's start the second game right away! β
On the big screen, the host is talking about the cross-talk.
Suddenly, he seemed to have received some instructions.
As soon as his spirits lifted, he immediately changed his words and said:
"The latest news, the latest news, friends of the audience. Just now, the organizers of the gladiatorial arena requested that this human warrior be arranged to skip the level to participate in the battle! Originally, according to the rules, after challenging five mini King Kong, he should have challenged a real Cybertron gladiator. However, we are very optimistic about his potential and have decided to give him an opponent of the Earthquake Venerable level! β
"Oh? Really? β
"Just him? Is he worthy of it too? β
"Die in no more than a round, right?"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
Fu Qinghai also raised his head curiously.
I wonder who is Zhentianzun?
"Gladiators will be the first to enter, and will be able to transform as they wish, and anything that can be scanned or assimilated will be allowed to be used for camouflage. And this is the new gladiatorial rules! Friendly reminder, human warriors ......"
The moderator "kindly" reminded:
"Watch your surroundings."
"Gladiatorial ...... Begin! β
After the host finished with a wicked smile, the screen went off.
Fu Qinghai looked around.
According to him, the opponents have already entered the game? When did you enter the Colosseum? Why didn't I find out?
The gladiatorial arena is too big, the view in the center of the field is not wide, a lot of mechanical debris is piled up to block the view, and the spectators in the surrounding stands are shouting and stomping their feet all the time, and the sound and vibration interfere with Fu Qinghai's perception.
At the same time, at the top of the stands, in a secret box, several Cybertrons were whispering:
"You can let him lose, but don't let him die."
"I understand, how can a rare encounter with an alien gladiator make him die easily."
"Earthquake Venerable is becoming more and more disobedient, and the Colosseum of Karon City needs a new signboard."
At this time, in the center of the gladiatorial arena.
Fu Qinghai was vigilantly scanning all the parts and wreckage and mechanical ruins around him, and if the enemy was already in ambush, then these places were the best choice.
"Whoa!"
A poop of broken parts splattered in all directions.
The opponent disguised as a scrapped crane jumped out from behind a pile of body parts, and he quickly completed the transformation process in the air, raising his fist and slamming it towards Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai did not dodge, dodge, or draw his sword.
Swing your right fist and slash at the gladiator.
"Peng!"
There was a deafening bang.
The Cybertron gladiator flew backwards back into the ruins.
Fu Qinghai staggered back two steps in a row.
He let go of his fist and clenched it again.
Fu Qinghai deliberately didn't use weapons, just to test the strength of the Cybertrons, and the result surprised him, although the vibranium lining of the power armor had absorbed most of the kinetic energy, the violent force feedback still cracked his phalanges, making his arms slightly numb and his shoulders slightly sore.
"That's the advantage of silicon-based life?"
Fu Qinghai turned his shoulders and thought secretly.
The Transformers who fell back into the ruins rolled over and got up again with a roar, and rushed towards this side with their limbs ripping through the ground. At the same moment, the surrounding mutations protruded, and two more Transformers took off their disguises and deformed, brazenly raised their muzzles to aim and shoot, a laser on the left, and a beam of plasma on the right, both of which are hand-held weapons for Transformers, but in fact, the caliber is comparable to a knight's mecha, Fu Qinghai seems to be unavoidable.
The laser plasma was about to hit Fu Qinghai for a moment.
It was shot in all directions by the twist direction of the invisible force field.
Activated the Iron Aura's deflection field!
Fu Qing's elevation sword collided with the Cybertron gladiator.
All the spectators present did not hear the sound of impact, the two gladiators, one big and one small, their figures overlapped together, as if there was no collision volume!
The Cybertron man spread his arms and sharp five fingers, and there were two wrist blades on the outside of his wrists, and a bear hugger pounced, and was about to break Fu Qinghai to pieces, but he saw that the Star Marine's sharp twist almost dodged from his armpit.
"Zizi Zizi ......"
The horizontal high-frequency vibration of the Blue Fang chainsaw sword and the longitudinal cutting rotation were carried out at the same time, and the single-molecule serration cast by True Edelman sliced deep into the Cybertron's body, and a stream of oily body fluids mixed with red and black spilled out.
"Crackling!"
With the arc flashing, sparks burst.
"Peng!"
The Cybertron threw himself into the air and slammed it to the ground.
Splashes of gray dust and gravel.
Behind him, Fu Qinghai stood up straight.
Skill!
Fu Qinghai commented in his heart.
These so-called Cybertron gladiators were powerful, extremely fast, and quick to react, but they lacked the skills to fight in the true sense of the word.
The other two Cybertrons were not idle.
One started to transform again, turning into an all-terrain vehicle, with tires inlaid with rivets and a magnetic adsorption function, he rushed to the wall of the gladiatorial arena, clinging to the inclined wall and galloping, building a fire net around Fu Qinghai, "suddenly, suddenly", a splash of metal bullet chains poured towards him, but all of them were twisted and flown in all directions by the deflection force field.
Another strode over, the Cybertron with a huge stride and a spout on each arm. I saw him waving his arms and spewing out a large cloud of red flames more than ten meters high, forcing Fu Qinghai to roll and dodge, hiding behind a garbage mountain, and a fan-shaped dark green acid liquid followed closely behind, covering the garbage mountain.
"Sneer......"
White smoke rises from scrap parts.
A flamethrower, an acid injector?
I've got to break them all!
Fu Qinghai set a strategy.
The first Cybertron had slowly stood up, and from his shoulder to his waist, there was a long, deep cleft, in which sparks burst and dripping oil, and one arm drooped to one side. This injury is fatal enough for any human, even for a Space Marine, to lose most of its combat effectiveness, but for the Cybertrons, it is far from stopping him from fighting.
Another gladiator helped him to his feet.
Fu Qinghai threw out two armor-piercing grenades.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The explosion that was enough to shatter the power armor actually only blew up two Transformers with scratches all over their faces and one stumbling. Fu Qinghai threw another stagnant grenade, and the warped time light rapidly expanded, locking on one of the transformers.
Fu Qinghai immediately raised the pulse blast gun, aimed the muzzle at the head of the transformer in the light cluster, and held the trigger with his fingers, "Da da da", the muzzle of the gun spewed out a cross tongue of fire, and the light cluster was quickly inlaid with dense pulse bombs, all of which stopped less than ten centimeters away from the Cybertron man's head, and almost covered a whole face.
At this time, another Transformer rushed over, and Fu Qinghai directly threw down the pulse blaster that emptied the drum, and picked up the chainsaw sword to meet it.
The two of them suddenly fell into a fierce white-knives slash, "clanging", sparks splashed, gold and iron resonated, and the speed was so fast that the surrounding audience could only see an afterimage.
Constantly fragments of organisms fly out.
But all from the Cybertrons.
The Cybertrons are also humanoid creatures, Aoyama Khan has been through a hundred battles, and his combat skills have long been completed, just looking at the opponent's calf position on the ground and the direction of the waist twist, he can predict which direction the enemy wants to swing, plus the Force perception brings an approximate prediction-like subtle insight, although the two are equal in strength, the Cybertrons can hardly touch Fu Qinghai, plus the invincible artifact Blue Fang Chainsaw Sword......
Aoyama Khan has the upper hand!
"Qiangβ"
Fu Qinghai swept with a slippery knee.
The Cybertronine gladiator's calf snapped in response.
The viscous and dark lube poured down, wetting the sandy ground beneath your feet. The enemy fell to the ground, Fu Qinghai was trying to take advantage of the victory to pursue a sword to behead him, the all-terrain vehicle turned back into a human form to rush to support, Fu Qinghai could not match the two Transformers, so he could only temporarily retreat and use the terrain to dodge.
Five minutes passed.
The static force field expands, and the light cluster drifts away.
The biggest Cybertron had just been freed.
"Bang bang!"
In an instant, he was blown up by the pulse bomb lake.
Although he was not directly shot in the head, the visual receptors and auditory receptors on his face were blown out, and he immediately became blind and deaf, and let out an angry roar.
Fu Qinghai hid in the cracks of the garbage heap.
This place Transformers can't squeeze in.
Fu Qinghai had just opened the white suitcase and was about to take out the large firearms such as the double-barreled hot melt cannon and the plasma incinerator, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the three transformers' bodies outside for a mechanical transformation, and the three of them were actually combined!
"Riding a horse or a combined King Kong!?"
Fu Qinghai's eyes widened instantly.
"Kaka Ka Ka ......"
One of the three Transformers was lame and one was blind, and only one could continue to fight. But after combining to become a combined Vajra, the lame Transformer provides vision, the blind Transformer provides limbs, and the intact Transformer is responsible for connecting the two of them...... All the previous injuries are actually not counted, which means that there are no injuries!
A thirty-meter-tall behemoth staggered to its feet, and the shadow cast covered the entire garbage mountain, as well as Fu Qinghai, who was hiding in the cracks.
"It's not necessary, right? It's going to kill me. β
Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
"It's not necessary, right? This is not what we are trying to do! β
In the box at the top of the auditorium, several elderly Cybertrons saw this scene, frowning and looking at each other.
"I don't remember the three of them being able to fit together."
A Cybertron whispered:
"All gladiators are miners in Karon City, how can they have such an advanced function as merging?"
"So what's the problem?"
Another partner asked.
"Shockwave!"
One of the Cybertrons suddenly scolded angrily:
"Our doctor, that guy must be doing some kind of human modification experiment behind our back, so that they have the ability to fit together! Impudent bastards with no bottom line! β
"So what now?"
"I don't know, let him ask for his own blessings."
In the Colosseum.
"Roarβ"
The combined King Kong looked up to the sky and roared and slapped his chest.
A loud roar swept through the arena.
The audience jumped up with excitement.
This combined King Kong seems to have some flaws, the body operation is obviously jerky and stuck, and a few parts pop out from time to time, which is not as smooth and natural as Fu Qinghai saw in the movie. But it was still very terrifying, and after yelling and venting, he leaned down directly and slapped it on the top of the garbage mountain.
γ
"Boom!"
The garbage heap that was used as a cover by Fu Qinghai was swept away, revealing the gap below, the armored villain in the gap, and the weird pistol in the armored villain's hand.
The small muzzle of the gun is pointed at the combined King Kong.
It's kind of funny.
βjiuβββ
The gravity pistol fires.
The gravitational rays that distorted the air flashed.
Accurately hit the waist of the combined King Kong.
No explosions, no sparks, no penetrations.
Doesn't seem to hurt anything.
The surrounding audience was puzzled.
I thought to myself, what kind of abstract performance art is this?
At this time, the face of the combined King Kong changed suddenly, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was sinking, and the weight of his body seemed to be increasing dozens of times in an instant, and it was also partially weighted, and the parts and supporting structures that made up the body suddenly couldn't bear such a huge weight, and they began to crack, twist, break and then squeeze ......
"Ping Pong ......"
Tiny parts eject like bullets.
"Boom, boomβ"
The combined King Kong collapsed in an instant.
It's like a falling apart LEGO model.
Fu Qinghai glanced at the gravity pistol in his hand.
I thought that the relict technology really lived up to its name.
The combined King Kong separated again, but only two Transformers were separated, and the bottom one was crushed to death, crushed into a discus and scraps of parts all over the floor.
Taking advantage of the confusion on the faces of the two transformers, they had just come back to their senses and were about to transform into vehicle forms and escape, when a thick blue plasma shot out of the gap and pierced the head of the Cybertron gladiator, Fu Qinghai jumped out with a double-barreled hot melt gun.
"Boom-"
The hot melt flame swept through the direct fire.
melted through the chest of the gladiator.
The last Cybertron was killed.
Fu Qinghai held the hot melt gun and stood on top of the corpse.
Turning his head to look around, his mouth panting.
"Wow-"
The entire gladiatorial arena was in an uproar.
All the spectators held their heads in disbelief.
Look at the human standing alone on the corpse.
"Won, actually won!?"
"He succeeded, he did it!"
"Is this what humans are? Terrifying! β
"The Thirteen Ancestors are above, is this true?"
The auditorium that surrounded the arena of the duel boiled.
Talking, speculating, questioning, exclaiming......
In the end, it all came together in one word:
"Space marine! Space marines! Space marines! β
All the spectators stomped their feet and shouted in unison.
The entire arena trembled.
Fu Qinghai smiled dumbly.
At this moment, he suddenly found that on the corpse of the Cybertron at his feet, the large hole in his chest that had been penetrated by the heat melt, and a small golden flame floated out of it.
Fu Qinghai instantly noticed this little thing.
"Is this the legendary ...... Tinder? β
Fu Qinghai immediately reached out to grab this small flame.
However, as if there was no substance, the flame suddenly came out of the crack in the hand armor and swayed into the sky, increasing its speed and speed, and soon disappeared into the air.
"This ......"
Fu Qinghai watched the tinder drift away.
There are many problems in the mind at the same time:
Is this tinder?
Where is it going?
How can you tie this thing down?
At the same time, Fu Qinghai thought of another question:
Why is there still no assimilation point hint?
He had just killed three Transformers.
But the world of reincarnation has not the slightest hint.
According to the setting in the Transformers Cinematic Universe, Transformers are either Autobots or Decepticons, either Bo or Maniac, there are only two camps. Since you killed the Transformers, if it's Bopai, then deduct your assimilation points, and if it's a madman, then reward yourself with assimilation points.
But now it's like this.
Neither reward nor deduct.
What does this mean?
Fu Qinghai had more and more doubts in his heart.
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the audience.
Jazz looked at the armored figure in the center of the field.
His expression was dumbfounded, and his heart was extremely shocked.
"This combat power is too strong, isn't it...... Orion Pikes, what did you find? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
