“No, Lord One Eye can’t necessarily deal with this thing.”
Lin Haifeng said this while pointing at the poisonous mist surrounding the giant.
“This poison gas domain can instantly kill most carbon-based life forms. Even Lord One Eye would likely be weakened by this. It seems this was modified by the demonic clan, and it looks quite successful.”
After saying this, Lin Haifeng turned to Xing and Victor.
“I hope you two can go and scout for Lord One Eye.”
Xing and Victor exchanged surprised glances—Lin Haifeng's appraisal of the mechanical nemesis was indeed sky-high.
“But, what if something happens in other battle zones…”
“There won’t be any ‘what ifs’! This is a gamble. We’re betting on the demonic clan and can only produce one mechanical nemesis.”
Lin Haifeng’s tone was resolute, as if he had made up his mind.
…
In the Main Battlefield of Area Eight,
Qin Tian led the legion and artillery units to retreat to the rear. However, the soul puppets did not move far after the mechanical nemesis absorbed the poison mist. Instead, they remained stationed slightly behind the front lines, watching the Demon Realm Gate, seemingly waiting for something.
At this moment, the mechanical nemesis had absorbed all the poison gas, and there was no longer any poisonous mist blocking the area around the Demon Realm Gate. In other words, the demonic clan could again deploy troops, putting immense pressure on the front lines. With the mechanical nemesis here, conventional and mechanical forces were completely restrained. By calculation, the only ones capable of fighting would likely be the soul puppet legion.
On the continent where the operational command center was located, Lord One Eye transformed into black light, swiftly passing through one teleportation node after another, racing towards the Main Battlefield of Area Eight. Yet, it was undeniable that this would take time.
Perhaps a minute, or even a few dozen seconds, but that small amount of time would be enough for the demonic clan to pull out a few more trump cards!
The Demon Realm Gate flashed with light, and moments later, a group of bizarre-looking demons emerged from the gate. They were massive in size, yet extremely short in height, with heavy and sturdy shells on their backs, resembling mutated giant turtles. On the backs of these camel beasts, large iron boxes were tied.
The mechanical nemesis seemed to sense something. It turned its head and looked at the group of camel beasts, and then small silver streams shot out from its body, swiftly wrapping around the iron boxes on the backs of the camel beasts.
Then, they dissolved and assimilated. In a short time, the iron boxes on the camel beasts’ backs completely disappeared, and more silver streams flowed back onto the mechanical nemesis. On the surface, the mechanical nemesis appeared unchanged; however, Lin Haifeng, who had some understanding of it, realized that the demonic clan had indeed used something to enhance the mechanical nemesis's combat capabilities.
And this was still not over.
Once the iron boxes on the camel beasts’ backs completely dissolved, these massive beasts began moving forward at a slow yet steady pace towards the distant soul puppet legion. They roared and howled, exuding a formidable presence, and with their immense size, their power was certainly not weak.
As the camel beasts approached the mechanical nemesis, traversing the rough battlefield and making direct contact with the soul puppet legion, the earth rumbled, dust soared, and the battle had begun.
Their strong defensive capabilities rendered the soul puppets’ attacks futile. These camel beasts acted like heavily armored tanks, rampaging freely across the battlefield—though their lethality was indeed low.
The battle between the camel beasts and the mountain puppets resembled a clash of steel against steel, with no clear outcome in the short term.
The minor skirmish at the front lines did not affect the mechanical nemesis.
