Chapter 4100 PR Machine
The collision between two expert mechs as they unleashed their strongest attacks during the duel produced a massive resonance-fueled explosion that temporarily blinded every sensor!
The willpower and resonance of two different Larkinson expert pilots chaotically blended and collided against each other, causing reality to become a lot less orderly around the collision site.
Many viewers looked eagerly to see which of the two impressive Larkinson expert mechs managed to gain the upper hand this time.
As the dust began to settle and the manifestations of will began to subside, two expert mechs hovered a short distance from each other.
"They're damaged!"
"Wow! This fight was a lot more real than I expected!"
"Which of the expert mechs have won!?"
Neither mechs came out of the exchange of blows unscatched.
The C-Man visibly looked worse off. Venerable Joshua had not been holding back as he channeled the sword style imbued in the Heartsword.
Together with the persistent teachings of his wife, Joshua was able to maximize the cutting power of his sword attack.
The result was obvious as the C-Man had lost one of its arms!
A clean cut ran through what was left of its upper arm! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
This was a serious blow. While the C-Man's severed limb was already floating back and merged itself back together like a living entity, the cutting attack had done more than to separate one group of nanomachines from another group of nanomachines.
The arm of the C-Man was not completely fluid. It contained a few solid components that provided extra structure and control to the arm. Now that they had been cut, it was not so easy to make them whole again.
Though Venerable Vincent could force his C-Man to resume fighting with its reattached limb, it did not change the fact that the damaged expert mech needed workshop time in order to regain its full combat effectiveness.
Vincent tiredly grinned. Although his C-Man had suffered a serious blow, his mech at least managed to strike a blow in return!
Much to the astonishment of the Larkinsons who had a better idea of the Everchanger's properties, its entire upper left section looked deformed.
The C-Man's final punch may have partially been interrupted by the Everchanger's amputation strike, but the power of its fist that was empowered by Vincent's strong will and desire to win could not be denied so easily!
Still, no matter how astonishing it was to inflict enough force to dent solid Unending alloy armor plating, the Everchanger still retained most of its battle effectiveness.
"It looks like the power of technology is not enough for you to win this duel." Joshua remarked as he recovered from his previous exertion.
Venerable Joshua camly activated a resonance ability that steadily regenerated the Everchanger's damaged components and even restored the damaged armor plating back to their original shapes!
It was nearly impossible to accomplish this unless extremely advanced technology was involved, but the ability to recover the integrity of the mech frame was second nature to Venerable Joshua and the Everchanger.
It was difficult to defeat the Everchanger as long as the expert mech wasn't taken out in a single blow!
A tense silence followed as both expert pilots kept an eye on each other's expert mechs.
The surging true resonance of the two powerful machines showed that Joshua and Vincent were more than willing to go for another round.
However, before they could think about doing so, Gloriana's voice rudely interrupted their ongoing confrontation.
"Alright! That is enough! Both of you have done a good job. We have collected more than enough data on the C-Man to evaluate its soundness and construct a basic model of its battle performance."
"I can still fight, ma'am!" Vincent stated as he found it difficult to stop at this point.
It was so enjoyable for him to let loose like this! His expert mech was just begging to win its first proper victory against a formidable opponent.
"Your expert mech is running high on heat and low on resources." Gloriana factually stated.
"I can still do more! I haven't even activated the new Heat Conversion resonating ability yet. Let me test it out right away so that you can gather even more combat data on the C-Man."
"We are not in a hurry to collect more data, Venerable Vincent. We already held a discussion with you on this. While we do not mind exposing the combat capabilities of the C-Man, it is not necessary for us to expose this feature to the public. Even if you are able to convert all of the excess heat into a usable charge, your expert mech's performance will not exceed the level you have already shown. Whether you can defeat the Everchanger or not is inconsequential."
"What about the broadcast?"
"The reaction from our growing audience is more than satisfactory."
As much as Vincent wanted to pursue the victory he craved, this was not a fight to the death nor a duel where victory had to be accomplished at all cost.
It was a show match, one that was meant to build up the credentials of the Larkinson Clan and draw public attention to the C-Man.
The Larkinsons succeeded in attaining these goals.
Word of mouth about the Larkinson Clan and its fantastic expert mechs had spread explosively!
