Eris was stunned to see thirty or so Clockwork Meka rushing towards her in a swarm.
She had not expected that even with the identity of the Hydro Archon, the other side would be so brave.
They actually wanted to rely on Clockwork Meka to fight against a god?
But in reality, Marcel did not expect these Clockwork Meka to have any effect.
It did not matter if they were torn to shreds by the Hydro Archon the next moment; he did not have much hope to begin with.
In his eyes, this was just resistance against the god.
But for Eris, this was really life-threatening…
Thirty or so Clockwork Meka…
Honestly, she had never fought in her life…
But now, she looked at the battered girls behind her, sighed, stretched out her hand, and began to communicate with her Vision.
When two sides meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins; she had no choice but to fight!
Fortunately, she was naturally cautious.
She did not feel blindly arrogant just because she had not encountered any setbacks using Furina’s reputation, nor did she fail to make any preparations, pinning all her hopes on the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol and the Marechaussee Phantom who might arrive at an unknown time.
As Eris stretched out her hand, the water currents hidden in the ceiling, cracks in the ground, walls, and various corners surged up, carrying countless debris and rushing towards the Clockwork Meka like a tidal wave!
As high-tech products of Fontaine, the combat power of Clockwork Meka goes without saying; even the Traveler has suffered setbacks against them.
But they all share a common characteristic: they pursue aesthetics too much and ignore sustained combat capability in complex environments.
Take the common assault-specialized type, for instance: the huge gear on the abdomen is completely exposed, and the gears at the joints of the limbs have no protection…
Honestly, if she were playing a game, Eris would think it looked cool.
Now that she had to fight these machines, she thought this design was even more wonderful.
Unsurprisingly, the thirty or so charging Clockwork Meka were submerged by the sudden, unexpected tide.
While waiting, Eris controlled the water flow to engulf any debris she could find in the ruins.
First, the leading machine was given special attention; the surging water, carrying countless gravel and wood chips, washed over its joints.
The abdominal gear was attacked first, with several small stones firmly stuck in it, followed by its hands and legs…
That tall Clockwork Meka instantly went silent.
Its companions behind it encountered the same difficulty.
This den, converted from ruins, was full of debris anyway—after all, you cannot expect a group of criminals to make their lair look magnificent, clean, and tidy—which gave Eris plenty of room to maneuver.
The group of people behind Eris looked at this as if it were a matter of course.
From their perspective, Lady Hydro Archon just waved her hand and summoned countless water currents to completely paralyze this batch of Clockwork Meka, looking as calm and relaxed as if it were effortless.
Only Eris knew how pressing the time was.
Although the design of the Clockwork Meka was indeed…
overly focused on artistic aesthetics, this was related to Fontaine’s national conditions.
As a country that has enjoyed long-term peace and has not fought any wars or faced external threats, this relaxed attitude of Fontaine people towards military power is actually quite normal.
If these machines had been designed by other countries that had experienced war, those exposed gears would definitely have been tightly protected.
But in fact, its designers had not completely abandoned practicality; the output of the Clockwork Meka’s gears is very high, and they can completely crush ordinary debris.
Moreover, in a normal combat situation, even if you can jam one machine, what about the others?
These things are mass-produced; how could they only bring out one to fight you?
What?
You are asking about Vision wielders?
No, are you crazy for sending mass-produced cannon fodder to fight an elite unit?
If it were the regular army of any other country, you would be trading human lives for someone else’s industrial products, which is a huge loss.
These things are pure machines; as long as there is an order, they will not hesitate to charge at a god.
The reason Eris could achieve this was actually by utilizing her advantages to the extreme.
The nature of the Hydro Vision allowed large-scale water currents to paralyze the vast majority of the machines, and combined with the surrounding ruins environment, no other type of Vision would have made it this easy.
But she also knew that this was only temporary.
The Clockwork Meka would probably be able to use their own output to crush the debris trapping their gears before long, and the debris in a single hall is limited after all; it is impossible to trap them forever.
Therefore, she had to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, she walked forward and came in front of a Clockwork Meka.
At Furina’s height, she only reached the waist of this Clockwork Meka, which made Eris very annoyed, so she kicked it out.
The Clockwork Meka lost its footing and fell directly in front of her.
As long as there is enough pressure, water can also be indestructible!
She gripped her right hand, and a stream of water mixed with various metal fragments pierced through the tall shoulder armor and chest armor of the assault-specialized machine, reaching the fragile neck protected inside, and then…
A harsh grinding sound rang out, until that fragile connection was completely severed.
And in the eyes of others, Lady Furina was really angry!
Very angry!!
She even abandoned her past elegant posture; she did not use water currents to tear those machines apart directly, but vented her anger on them, forcibly pulling out the heads of the Clockwork Meka with her hands!!!
The surrendered thugs saw this, shrank their necks, lowered their heads in fear, wishing they could curl up into a ball and roll out of Lady Hydro Archon’s sight completely.
What if Lady Hydro Archon is not satisfied even after dismantling all the Clockwork Meka and chooses to dismantle us instead?
There was no way around it; the Hydro Archon before them was too different from the one in the general impression of the Fontaine public, but no one suspected that she was a fake.
Eris specially kept some metal fragments from the dismantled Clockwork Meka’s body, then walked towards the next machine with water currents.
Harsh grinding sounds rang out from time to time in the ruins space.
People watched her pull off the arm of this machine, dismantle the leg of that machine, and tear the next machine in half…
It was a live dismemberment scene!
From time to time, a machine would struggle to move, and then Lady Hydro Archon would command the water flow to paralyze it again before slowly dismantling it (actually, that machine had finally broken free from the debris, and then was controlled again).
Really, if this was not Lady Hydro Archon, everyone would have thought they had encountered some perverted serial killer.
And Eris’s hands were sore from dismantling; these things were too sturdy, and many had already started to break free, so she had to trap them with water currents once again.
Just then, Marcel, watching the Hydro Archon dismantling her way over and getting closer and closer, laughed.
He did not even look at the already limp Pharo beside him, but stared with hatred at the Hydro Archon who was dismantling an annihilation-specialized type, and said loudly: ” You are angry, God of Hydro!
”
” But even with such anger, you did not take off the head of me, the usurper, but chose to vent your anger on a group of mindless Clockwork Meka?
”
” What are you thinking?
Are you still thinking of taking me to that ridiculous theater to watch your child’s play trial?
Is this your justice?
”
” It is ridiculous!
Ridiculous!
A ridiculous country, a ridiculous god!
What do you think you can protect?
Do you think your justice…
”
Before he could finish speaking, Eris, who was annoyed by the dismantling, picked up the just-dismantled Clockwork Meka arm and smashed it over.
The steel material made intimate, zero-distance contact with his face.
Damn it, causing trouble every single day, you moron, you think you are in the right, do you not!
Eris was filled with fire.
She had appeared here inexplicably, was confusedly drawn into these events, and was risking danger fighting these Clockwork Meka.
Others thought she was relaxed and comfortable, but in reality, all the debris she could scavenge had been completely exhausted.
If she could not solve all the Clockwork Meka in this round, she would have to fight these things head-on.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
She pried the shoulders of the Clockwork Meka in front of her, pulled off the severed head, and found a suitable angle to exert force, preparing to crack open the skull of this self-righteous moron.
Just then, a cry of surprise from behind interrupted her actions.
” Monsieur Neuvillette!
I surrender, I surrender!!!
”
The Fontaine authorities finally arrived at the scene.
Furina looked at the irritable blue figure at the very front, who had twisted off a Clockwork Meka’s head, weighed it in her hand, and after finding a suitable angle, was walking towards the person lying on the ground, dumbfounded.
Such a familiar person…
