Giant Robot

"I like the way you show your courage."

God of War Ares laughed heartily as he put on the shackles. "Actually, I count as an Earthling too. I’m God of War Ares. Earth should have legends about me."

"God of War Ares?"

Ivan and Carol were both a little surprised. Ivan shook his head and said, "If you’d gone to Earth a few years ago, you definitely would have caused a sensation. But now, aside from historians, probably no one cares about you."

Ares asked in confusion, "Why?"

Ivan pointed at Thor and said, "The Norse God of Thunder, whose status is equal to yours. Do you think Earthlings would still feel any reverence for gods after seeing him?"

Ares glanced at Thor and let out a long sigh. "Looks like relying on my fame won’t work."

"What do you mean? Are you slandering me?"

Thor asked with a frown. Ivan shrugged and said, "Leave this to me. Hurry up and help Banner."

"Fine."

Carol did not waste any words. She turned and flew toward the Dark Sky, which was rapidly approaching. Thor glared viciously at Ivan before following her.

Inside the Dark Sky, Dr. Banner was examining the engine room. He said, "This flagship uses Antimatter as its energy source. For some reason, the Supreme Intelligence has lifted the restrictions on the Antimatter. The energy in the reactor has been rising wildly. This place will explode in a little over ten minutes."

Star-Lord shouted in alarm, "It’s that dangerous? Then let’s get out of here!"

"Coward! Big guy, why would the Supreme Intelligence do this?"

Rocket scanned with an instrument in hand and asked in confusion, "At the very least, they could use the Antimatter to threaten us. If they lift the restrictions like this, they won’t survive either."

"You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Dr. Banner shrugged. At that moment, Carol and Thor arrived by following the signal. After hearing Dr. Banner’s explanation, Carol asked, "Doctor, what should we do?"

"Dismantle the engine room and take it out of this area."

Dr. Banner said, "Of course, we can’t just tear it apart randomly. You have to follow my instructions, or it could explode at any moment. Shuri, assist me remotely."

At this point, Dr. Banner could not help sighing. Under these circumstances, there was no way they could claim the Antimatter Reactor for themselves. This was top-tier technology.

"You tell us what to do, and we’ll do it."

Carol said readily. Thor felt the same way. "Taking things apart is what I’m best at."

Dr. Banner gave Thor a strange look. This guy really was just as Bert had said—a reincarnated husky.

While Dr. Banner and the others tried to figure out how to deal with the Antimatter Reactor, beneath the Supreme Tower on Hala, the Supreme Intelligence was urgently calling for reinforcements. To its frustration, the reinforcements were too far away and could not arrive in time.

The Supreme Tower itself was a fortress, and with a legion stationed there, there had been no need to deploy additional troops nearby. The closest legion would still take around twenty minutes to arrive.

"Looks like I can only rely on myself."

The Supreme Intelligence sighed inwardly. It first sealed the basement with alloy doors, then activated the trump card stored in the adjacent storage room.

This trump card had been prepared by the Kree Empire for the Supreme Intelligence, and it needed some time to fully activate.

At the same time, the Supreme Intelligence sent an advanced robot to Gladiator, Skye, and Ili. "The Kree Empire is willing to stop this war."

"Sorry, but I’m not willing."

Wang Bert said, "You decide when a war begins, but I decide when it ends."

"Gladiator, what does this have to do with you?"

The Supreme Intelligence shouted angrily. At the same time, it secretly glanced at Skye. It could sense that Skye was continuously gathering energy—extremely powerful energy.

"This is Blood God’s request. Blood God pays better, so I’m planning to work for him."

Wang Bert said, "Supreme Intelligence, you only have two choices. One, surrender. Two, obediently die."

"Ridiculous! Have you considered the consequences of doing this? I am the supreme commander of the Kree Empire. If anything happens to me, the Kree Empire will never let you go."

The Supreme Intelligence shouted, "No matter how strong Earth is, can it be stronger than the entire Kree Empire? We have more than a dozen main-force legions like the one before."

Wang Bert sneered. "If we were afraid, we wouldn’t have come. As for the future, sorry, the Kree Empire has no future."

The Supreme Intelligence naturally knew what the Kree Empire would become after its death. It shouted, "Gladiator, if you insist on this, everyone on the Sovereign Battlefield will die. I have lifted the controls on the Antimatter."

"I believe in them. They can handle it themselves."

Wang Bert said indifferently. Even if they could not, Wang Bert had left a trump card over there.

The Supreme Intelligence wanted to say more, but Wang Bert suddenly appeared in front of the robot and kicked it into the sky. Then Heat Rays shot from his eyes, blasting it apart in midair.

Wang Bert turned back and asked, "Skye, how much longer?"

Skye shouted, "A little longer. That place is a bit deep, and there are alloy walls protecting it."

Wang Bert said, "Hurry. According to Ronan’s information, the legion outside the city will arrive in twenty minutes. We have to deal with the Supreme Intelligence before then."

Skye said confidently, "No problem. I guarantee I’ll destroy it completely within ten minutes."

Wang Bert nodded in satisfaction. Skye was getting better and better at controlling her powers. In the future, she might really become a Planet Destroyer.

"Damned Earthlings, damned Gladiator."

After thinking for a moment, the Supreme Intelligence controlled a robot and shouted at Black Bolt and the others, "Black Bolt, I know you. As long as you are willing to surrender to the Kree Empire, I can give you a planet and make you its overlord."

"Not interested."

Black Bolt spoke calmly. A Sonic Wave blasted out, and a warship immediately shattered and exploded in midair.

The Supreme Intelligence wanted to say more, but Qiao Yi raised her hand, and the robot immediately began to melt.

"You don’t need to worry. I’m also part of Earth. In fact, this is the second time I’ve rejected it, and I reported this matter to S.W.O.R.D."

Black Bolt glanced at Qiao Yi and said calmly through his voice device, "Besides, who would dare betray Blood God? With his abilities, the moment I betrayed him, he’d kill me right after."

Qiao Yi shrugged. "I just don’t like the look of it."

"Me too."

Black Bolt flew into the sky and roared downward. A tall building instantly shattered, burying all the robots below.

"Damned Inhumans, you don’t know what’s good for you."

The Supreme Intelligence was furious. At that moment, the trump card below had finished unlocking. Overjoyed, the Supreme Intelligence fed its data stream into the trump card.

A moment later, the trump card suddenly opened its crimson eyes. It was a giant robot over a hundred meters tall, covered in spikes and looking exceedingly ferocious.

That was right, a giant robot. This was the Supreme Intelligence’s final and most powerful trump card. The Supreme Intelligence had spent hundreds of billions in cosmic currency on it, and had added many super materials that money could not buy.

The Supreme Intelligence ordered, "Supreme Machine, go up there and kill Gladiator and those two Inhumans."

"Command confirmed."

The Supreme Machine gave a low response. Then Light Flame burst from its feet, and it rapidly flew upward.

The door above had already been sealed by Cold Ice. Without any hesitation, the Supreme Machine smashed through the ice with both fists and entered the iceberg. Then two enormous High-Temperature Light Beams shot from its eyes, melting through the iceberg all the way as it charged outside.

Besides the iceberg, quite a few Kree were melted as well, but the Supreme Machine did not care in the slightest. It had no humanity; it only wanted to complete its mission.

"This is what I was like in the beginning. Now that I have life, I don’t want to die."

The Supreme Intelligence looked at the Supreme Machine and muttered to itself. Then, it began gathering Mind Energy.

Thinking of something, the Supreme Intelligence could not help sighing. It had wasted far too much Mind Energy before, and now it had less than thirty percent of its strength left. Hopefully, it would be enough to control the target.

"So this is the Kree Empire’s trump card, the Supreme Machine?"

Looking at the giant robot melting through the iceberg toward them, Wang Bert’s eyes flashed with intense interest. This was the first time he had seen a giant robot similar to a "Gundam" in this world.

A moment later, amid a tremendous rumble, the Supreme Machine burst out of the iceberg. Without a word, two enormous High-Temperature Light Beams shot fiercely toward Wang Bert.

"Ili, activate the Defense Shield. Ignore me. Just protect Skye."

Wang Bert showed no fear. His eyes turned red, and two Heat Rays fiercely met the High-Temperature Light Beams.

Wang Bert’s rays were completely incomparable to the Supreme Machine’s High-Temperature Light Beams in size, but the energy contained within them was nearly identical. The four beams collided violently in midair, with neither side able to overpower the other.

Seeing this, the Supreme Machine raised its right arm. Its five fingers lit up with pitch-black light, then five Destruction Rays shot toward Wang Bert and Skye at the same time.

Wang Bert snorted and breathed a blast of cold air forward. All five Destruction Rays were frozen and shattered.

The Supreme Machine raised its left hand and used gravity to seize Wang Bert, then slammed him fiercely to the side.

With Wang Bert no longer interfering, the Supreme Machine’s High-Temperature Light Beams tore through the ground toward Ili and Skye.

Although Ili and Skye were a little nervous, they were not afraid at all, because they both had absolute confidence in Blood God.

Just as the High-Temperature Light Beams were about to strike the Defense Shield, a figure rushed over like a meteor, both feet smashing fiercely into the side of the Supreme Machine’s face.

The Supreme Machine involuntarily tilted its head back and staggered. The High-Temperature Light Beams shot into the sky, slicing a nearby building in two. Blazing flames erupted from the severed edges.

The Supreme Machine stopped its High-Temperature Light Beams, steadied itself, and raised its left hand toward Wang Bert again.

Wang Bert immediately breathed out a blast of cold air, freezing the Supreme Machine’s left arm.

Just as the Supreme Machine was about to break the ice, Wang Bert rushed to its chest, grabbed the edge of its chest armor, and yanked with all his strength, forcibly tearing off a piece of armor. He tossed it aside, and red light lit up in his eyes as he prepared to fire.

At that moment, a large amount of electricity suddenly burst from the Supreme Machine’s chest. Wang Bert hurriedly retreated, then appeared at the joint of the Supreme Machine’s right hand as if through Teleportation, firing two Heat Rays fiercely.

The Supreme Machine’s arm suddenly opened, and a large number of small robots flew out, firing wildly at Wang Bert.

Wang Bert raised his eyes and swept his gaze across them. All the small robots exploded with loud booms. Taking the opportunity, the Supreme Machine broke free of the ice and used its gravity field on Wang Bert again.

Wang Bert snorted and nimbly circled behind the Supreme Machine, throwing out punch after punch. The Supreme Machine’s armor was battered into deep dents.

The Supreme Machine clumsily tried to block, while large amounts of electricity burst from its body and sent Wang Bert flying.

"This big guy is really troublesome. The difference in size is too great."

Wang Bert narrowed his eyes slightly. Aside from the Supreme Machine’s power, the reason for this stalemate was that Wang Bert had not fully mastered this body.

After all, it was only a borrowed body.

While Wang Bert battled the Supreme Machine, the Supreme Intelligence secretly enveloped Skye with Mind Power. Skye’s vision blurred, and she suddenly arrived in a white world.

Then, "Jiaying" walked out. Skye froze for a moment before angrily saying, "Supreme Intelligence, how dare you defile my mother?"

Wang Bert had previously explained the Supreme Intelligence’s abilities, so Skye knew what was happening.

"Skye, you clearly possess invincible power. Why do you submit to humans?"

The Supreme Intelligence said, "Come to the Kree Empire. I will train you to become the new Accuser. Then countless planets of the Kree Empire will belong to you."

"Invincible power?"

Skye said disdainfully, "You really are an unqualified persuader. No matter how powerful I am, can I be stronger than Blood God? I can’t even withstand a single look from him."

"Blood God is about to die. He is trapped in Hell, and the Hell Lords all want him dead. He cannot possibly survive."

The Supreme Intelligence said, "Skye, cooperate with me and conquer Earth. Then the Inhumans will never need to live in fear again, because there will no longer be any humans. I will turn every human into an Inhuman."

"Blood God will die?"

Skye became even more disdainful. She did not know what was happening in Hell, but judging by Blood God’s apparent lack of concern, he clearly had absolute confidence.

"Inhumans and humans are no different. I will never allow anyone to threaten Earth, and that includes you."

Skye said, "I’m tired of this. Go die."

With that, Skye raised her hand and fired a shockwave at the Supreme Intelligence. The Supreme Intelligence instantly disappeared, then reappeared behind Skye.

Then, the Supreme Intelligence hugged Skye from behind and merged itself into her body.

"Skye, let us become one."

The Supreme Intelligence said. Clearly, it wanted to forcibly control Skye. This was why it had chosen Skye instead of Gladiator—its remaining Mind Power was not enough to control someone as powerful as Gladiator.

"What are you doing? Get out of my body!"

Skye shouted angrily. As the Supreme Intelligence accelerated its erosion, it laughed. "I am you, and you are me. How can I get out?"

Skye was frantic. At that moment, Wang Bert’s voice rang in her ears. "In the Mind World, as long as you do not want it, no one can control you. The greater your heart, the stronger your power. Quake, you are a woman who can destroy planets. Don’t disappoint me."
