Chapter 740: Chapter 511: I Want to Make It Move_3

And then, in a curious tone, He suddenly spoke in Terra’s language.

"Little girl, what do you want to do with it?"

"Do with it?"

Zumama tightly squeezed the nut: "I want to make it move."

"Is just moving enough?"

"Hmm, if it can move, will it be able to talk like you and be my friend?"

The little car had no intention of mocking her, its lights flashed in seriousness: "Indeed."

......

Looking back now, even Zumama felt that what she said then was naive and laughable.

To make a machine talk, merely moving is not enough.

It must come to life.

Giving life to dead objects, creating life from zero.

How lonely and difficult is this path? It’s almost like touching the powers of gods.

But the system didn’t mock her, instead gave her the initial opportunity and help, allowing her to grow rapidly, and unearth her potential, standing firm in the Otherworld.

Yet...

This road remains difficult, still seeking direction.

She has been in this world for ten years.

Ten years is short, insignificant compared to her long lifespan after reaching a higher level.

Ten years is also long, long enough to almost forget the look of her hometown, the life in the tribe, long enough to forget what it feels like to have many friends, long enough for her to get used to loneliness.

Even after ten years, growing to unimaginable heights in the past, winning the Mechanical Spirit Cup in a field of champions remains a mere dream, impossible to achieve alone.

The Big Sister was her initial benefactor, yet afterward, she never met again, perhaps just occasional kindness amid her busy affairs.

Liko was the second, accompanying her relentlessly, yet ultimately unable to comprehend most of her technology.

She remains distant from her dreams.

She wishes to show the Big Sister her dreams once again.

But... she knows it’s unrealistic.

Thus, Zumama never mentioned her dreams to anyone again, nor did she reveal her purpose in joining the Mechanical Spirit Cup, merely striving alone in vain pursuit.

The spiritual nature dubbed as will in the Angry Iron Plate core might have been unconsciously activated by her in such circumstances.

Just like her, struggling with all her might, yet still confused.

Until one day, a young man and several young women knocked on the door of Senran Studio.

The events following need no further explanation.

Zumama suddenly realized, she seems no longer alone.

Because her dreams, along with her technology, seemed to be understood, accepted, encouraged, and supported.

She merely needs to work hard enough.

For the first time, she felt what it was like to be understood, like a lonely Senran finally finding its own nest.

And at this moment.

This person sits beside her, controlling the Angry Iron Plate together, enduring the pain brought by this surge, exerting all efforts to suppress the risks of True Activation.

And...

Shared expectations and hopes, filled with indescribable joy of heartbeats.

They have already stood at the edge of dream realization together.

While manipulating the Angry Iron Plate, she tightly held the young man’s hand.

The two took a deep breath together, the radiant changes in their eyes almost matched the color of the deepest core.

Core load: 106%

Core load: 107%

Even though the load is getting higher, the True Activation process is getting deeper, forcing them to focus most of their energy on providing assistance through the stable Source Stone internal data flow.

Yet at this moment, the operation of Angry Iron Plate needs less and less of their handling.

Its movements seem to gradually carry its own intention.

——Believe in it, and it will certainly respond to you.

......

Under the gaze of billions of spectators in Coastal City.

Zero’s figure is no longer graceful and perfect, but somewhat embarrassed.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

Endless blue rays shoot at the best angles from the wings of light, but appear powerless amidst the red meteorites and Sword Rain in Angry Iron Plate’s Pseudo Domain.

The dark golden and blue silhouettes entangle together, sword light and saw blades collide at terrifying speeds, stirring up waves of Ether Frenzy.

Stolheim clenched his teeth, exerting all his might controlling the machine to dodge Angry Iron Plate’s attack—at this point, he no longer dared to perform those dance-on-the-knife-edge evasive maneuvers, only trying to stay as far away from the Angry Iron Plate as possible.

Dozens of red meteors charged head-on, Zero barely slashed them apart, yet stepped back repeatedly amidst the chain explosive smoke.

In his ice-blue eyes, True Intent quickly calculated the current situation changes.

——Difficult to win head-to-head, Zero’s hard power has been completely surpassed, and the energy on the opposing side evidently grows more in battle, a war of attrition is futile...

But still, he can only rely on dragging.

Either drag until the opponent’s True Activation process finishes and self-collapse.

Or drag until the safe zone entirely disappears, bet on a draw.

The thought just crossed his mind when an immensely terrifying red beam, seemingly capable of piercing the sky, had already arrived.

Stolheim wanted to manipulate the machine to flutter away but suddenly discovered... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In his Spiritual Power Perception, Zero’s core, as well as the entire Spirit Rune Array, unexpectedly began to unwarrantedly destabilize and agitate.

——Fighting until this point, this machine operated to perfection by Stolheim has finally inevitably begun its own True Activation!

Zero’s actions suddenly slowed down for a beat, hit directly!

BOOM BOOM!!
