The mechanical nemesis, strictly speaking, is not one of the big boss's trump cards; it is a combination of several trump cards of the demonic clan—mechanical nemesis entity (which are those tiny silver particles), poisonous mist, and various precious rare metals.
With multiple means at its disposal, the mechanical nemesis has become an almost invulnerable bug!
From the current perspective, the demonic clan not only has a multitude of trump cards but also has warfare strategies that overshadow Fran and the others—starting with several rounds of offensive maneuvers to open the situation, followed by an endless stream of cannon fodder to deplete the living forces on the front lines, until Fran can no longer endure the massive casualties and voluntarily sends the mechanical warriors close to the Demon Realm Gate, then uses poisonous mist to clear the area while releasing the mechanical nemesis, which not only annihilates Beijing's mechanical legion in one fell swoop but also creates a formidable boss that is extremely difficult to deal with.
This interconnected strategy not only left Fran devoid of confidence but also made Lin Haifeng feel quite troubled—the asymmetry in information and the absolute gap in hard power left Lin Haifeng unable to guess what other cards the demonic clan might play.
At this moment, Lin Haifeng abruptly thought of another issue...
Could this step with the mechanical nemesis also be a pawn of the demonic clan? Its ultimate goal may not be to break through with the mechanical nemesis, but rather to achieve another objective through it...
As he pondered, he looked toward the front lines of the battlefield, and when he saw that the three spirit pets, including the one-eyed creature, had appeared on the battlefield, a cold sweat broke out.
This is another form of pawn!
Lin Haifeng not only thought of the demonic clan's intentions but even contemplated what tactics Victor would use to deal with the mechanical nemesis. However, despite thinking back and forth, he couldn’t find a way to turn the situation around!
Until Lin Haifeng suddenly sighed, and a message escaped his lips, reaching Victor's ears.
...
On the front lines of the battlefield.
The one-eyed creature made a careless move and was tightly restrained by the mechanical nemesis, rendering it nearly defenseless. Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in the distance and flew above the one-eyed creature.
"Yo yo yo, you really are in a bad spot."
At this point, Victor still teased the one-eyed creature, but upon hearing Victor's mockery, the one-eyed creature did not get angry; instead, it sighed in relief.
The fact that Victor still had time to mock itself meant that he had found a strategy to deal with the mechanical nemesis.
"Quickly use any means you have; this guy is too troublesome!"
The one-eyed creature said, and the next second, it felt the scenery before its eyes suddenly shift.
...
Everything in the world seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gray mist, familiar rules began to descend, causing the one-eyed creature to instantly realize where it currently was.
Netherworld...
Not only the one-eyed creature but even the mechanical nemesis, entangled with it, also entered the Netherworld under Victor's will.
Strictly speaking, the mechanical nemesis is merely a lifeless creation; as a technological construct, it naturally cannot withstand the invasion of the Netherworld.
"First, cut off its external supplies, and then find a way to deal with it itself. Such a simple principle, even you, you stupid dog, can't figure it out, right?"
Victor threw in another taunt, and the one-eyed creature merely rolled its eyes.
You say it so easily, if I had the Netherworld, I would have done it long ago...
With this thought, the one-eyed creature was uninterested in bickering with Victor. Its muscles quivered, but it still couldn’t break free from the mechanical nemesis's confinement until a tremendous force surged from within its body.
