Tide paused for a moment, not quite understanding what the AI was babbling about, what it was babbling about.
Just then, Long Xin's speech suddenly quickened, and his tone rose sharply: "...And you're an idiot. I'm telling you clearly, I'm stalling for time, stalling for time. Such obvious language, can't you understand human language? Mark, make your move!"
"what?"
Tide realized he had been tricked, and the next moment his pupils contracted sharply as he felt a sense of danger suddenly erupt behind him.
Almost at the same instant Loongson finished speaking.
"boom!"
The heavy alloy door of the command center shattered as if hit by a cannonball, and a matte black lightning bolt, carrying unparalleled momentum, rushed into the room—it was Mark.
Mark, whose entire body was covered in mecha armor, had sharp lines and dark golden energy patterns that lit up as he charged forward, like a primordial beast awakening. With the momentum of his charge, Mark delivered a simple, powerful side kick that gathered all his strength, which landed squarely on Tide's chest and abdomen as he turned slightly in surprise and had no time to react.
"Oh!"
Just as Tide was about to activate the water vapor defense around her, she was kicked off the ground and sent flying backward by this incredibly violent force.
Like a baseball that has been severely thrashed, he crashed into several rows of control panels in a disheveled state, sparks flying and parts flying everywhere, before finally slamming heavily onto the reinforced glass wall in the distance.
With a loud crash, the high-strength glass, capable of withstanding strong winds, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
"Ugh!"
Tide immediately let out a painful groan, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted, and the biological tissues inside the bio-armor protested violently.
He struggled to his feet from a pile of circuit boards and metal scraps, his crown-shaped helmet askew, the blue light in his goggles pulsating violently with anger and pain.
Chapter 104 The Power of Tides
"Where did this despicable villain come from, daring to ambush me?"
He is now furious, wants to kill, and is filled with disbelief and overwhelming murderous intent.
Since awakening his abilities, Tide has never suffered such humiliation.
Mark landed steadily, his tall mecha body like an insurmountable black wall, blocking the way for the still-shaken Jingnan and the others.
Beneath the mask, Mark's gaze was icy as he looked at Tide, his voice coming through the mecha.
"The lighthouse is not a place where you can run wild."
He turned his head slightly and quickly said to those behind him, "Jingnan, you lead everyone to the safe zone. Leave this to me."
"Captain Mark... be careful, he can control the water flow!" Jing Nan hurriedly warned, and with the help of his colleagues, quickly retreated.
"Hmph, you dare to fight me with just a metal shell? You're asking for death!"
Tide laughed in fury, and the crystal at the top of the Scepter of the Wrath of the Sea God in his hand burst out with a dazzling blue light. The moisture in the surrounding air was instantly drawn out and condensed, making a crashing sound like waves: "Let me show you what the true power of the ocean is!"
Tsunami surged!
He swung his scepter forward with a sudden boom, and his power activated, summoning a giant wave out of thin air.
A terrifying, almost tangible wall of water, composed of highly compressed water molecules, carrying immense power capable of crushing everything, hurtled towards Mark and the area behind him.
Even before the water wall arrived, the terrifying pressure caused the air to explode, and small objects on the ground were swept away.
Mark's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised his left arm.
"Deploy the barrier, full power!"
"Instruction received."
A massive, rhomboid energy barrier, composed of countless dark gold hexagonal energy modules, unfolded instantly.
The barrier's surface shimmers and radiates an aura of unbreakable stability.
The next moment, the tsunami crashed into the energy barrier.
"boom!"
The terrifying roar almost ripped people's eardrums apart, and the violent water surged wildly, like a depth charge, instantly turning into a sky full of water mist.
The command center shook violently, more screens shattered, and the lights went out.
The metal floor beneath Mark's feet cracked and collapsed inch by inch, but he was like a mountain rooted to the earth, with the thrusters on the back of his mech spewing out eerie blue flames to provide additional support, firmly blocking the devastating impact in front of him.
The energy on the barrier's surface was rapidly depleted, and ripples spread wildly, yet it remained resilient and did not break.
……
Name: Tide.
Identity: Deputy Captain of the Raging Waves Squad.
Realm: Late stage of the third tier.
Awakened ability: Water element manipulation.
It can manipulate water flow on a large scale, far exceeding the capabilities of "vortex". It can create surging waves, huge whirlpools, high-pressure water walls, and even small-scale tsunami impacts, changing the local battlefield terrain.
It can accurately sense and predict changes in tides and ocean currents, providing a tactical advantage for its own side.
He can move at high speeds in water, as if flying through it.
Weapon: The "Wrath of the Sea God" fluid amplification scepter, with a huge blue energy crystal embedded at the top.
As an energy amplifier, it greatly expands the range and intensity of control, and can concentrate energy to launch high-pressure water cannons or cut water jets.
Secondary weapon: Vortex grenade, which creates a powerful small vortex when thrown, attracting and tearing apart enemies within its range.
His bio-armor was dark blue with white wave patterns and decorated with fish-fin-like ornaments.
The helmet has a crown-like structure, and the eyepiece is a flowing blue light.
With an air of arrogance, every gesture exudes an absolute sense of control over the power of the ocean.
……
"What? It actually blocked it?"
The contempt in Tide's eyes was finally replaced by shock. His tsunami impact was enough to shatter the armor of a warship, but it was actually blocked by an energy shield.
Just then, Mark moved.
He braved the still-lingering torrents and the thick fog, and his thrusters suddenly unleashed their maximum thrust.
Whoosh!
The End Watcher tore through the water like a ghost, instantly closing the distance.
The right arm was stretched backward, and the high-frequency particle oscillating knife popped out instantly.
The saw blade rotates at high speed, emitting a piercing buzz, and its surface is covered with a crackling, eerie blue electromagnetic suppression field, piercing straight into the face of the tide.
"Trying to engage in close combat? How arrogant!"
Tide is experienced in combat and remains calm despite being startled.
The scepter slams to the ground not as a direct resistance, but as a manipulation of the flowing water beneath, causing it to rise and create things swiftly.
"Hey!"
A highly condensed, knife-edged high-pressure water jet shot out from the ground beside Mark without warning, accurately slicing through his knee joint in his path of charge.
This attack was cunning and ruthless; if it hit, it would be enough to disable the mech's mobility.
A close call!
Mark's exceptional combat instincts and the mech's early warning system worked simultaneously. In the midst of his charge, he forcefully twisted his body, executing a near-physically defying sudden stop and slide to avoid the insidious water blade's cut.
The water blade grazed the mech's leg, silently slicing a control panel behind it in two.
"Lucky kid!!"
Tide roared and howled as if it had gone mad, waving its scepter and unleashing more high-pressure water arrows and spinning water blades from all directions at Mark, trying to force him back or cut him to pieces.
"Is this guy sick?"
Mark's figure darted and weaved in the confined space, the mech displaying astonishing agility, each evasion perfectly timed.
At the same time, the energy barrier on his left arm constantly adjusted its angle to deflect unavoidable attacks, exploding into bursts of mixed mist of energy and water.
Annihilation Shoulder Cannon!
Seizing an opening in the attack, Mark slid open his left shoulder armor, revealing the cannon muzzle, and a high-concentration ion bomb was silently fired, heading straight for Tide.
Tide's pupils contracted as he sensed the strange energy (suppressing regeneration) contained within the explosive bomb. Not daring to take it head-on, he slammed his scepter into the steel deck.
"Water Wall!"
boom!
A thick, rotating wall of water rose up in front of him instantly. The ion bomb crashed into the water wall and exploded violently. Blue ion energy raged wildly within the water wall, evaporating most of it, but ultimately failed to penetrate and harm the tide behind it.
"Hmph, is all you can do is hide in this metal shell?"
Tide mocked, intending to provoke Mark and throw him into disarray.
He gripped the scepter with both hands, unleashing its full power: "Let me show you what absolute power is."
Deep-sea vortex!
Centered on the scepter, he created a powerful gravitational vortex that not only frantically sucked up all the surrounding debris and hurled it at Mark, but also generated tremendous tearing force, threatening to rip Mark's mech apart.
Meanwhile, the remaining fire sprinklers in the command room burst, forcibly drawing in all the liquid and integrating it into the vortex, thus amplifying its power.
Mark suddenly found it extremely difficult to move, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, and the mech's outer shell made a clanging sound.
"The energy barrier is experiencing a rapid energy drop, causing structural stress overload. Mr. Mark, please be mindful of energy consumption," the AI warned.
Chapter 105 Water and All Things
"Then... let's break through from a single point!"
Mark's eyes sharpened, and he made a decision.
He abruptly retracted his twin swords, gripped the hilts with both hands, and combined them, channeling energy into them frantically.
Greatsword form!
hum...
