Episode 263 [Robot (2)]
Ugh. Clap. Cooung.
Loud sounds and vibrations echoed through the narrow passageway inside the robot.
The work passageway seemed to be difficult to pass because it was filled with strange pipes and wires.
“I came in just in the nick of time, but communication was cut off.”
It seemed like thick steel plates were blocking radio waves.
Shane lay down in the work aisle and placed his hands on the floor.
It was to find the nuclear mana stone that powers the giant robot.
But his search ended in failure.
This robot was not made of flesh and blood. It was not easy to check the inside of a robot made of iron.
“Then they say we have to destroy them one by one...”
Shane stood up, took out a mana bomb, and threw it into the passage.
Tung. Tung. Tung.
The red-hot bomb crashed here and there and disappeared deep into the passage.
The bomb exploded a moment later.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Red light filled the passage. Flames raced down the passageway and the shock came all the way to where Shane was.
Hahahahaha.
Protruding wires sparked and steam spewed out from the pipes.
Is it because there is less air? The flames died out immediately.
After the flames disappeared, the work passage did not change much. The passage wall was not even breached. It was a very strong steel wall.
“It’s not easy even getting in here.”
It was a result I didn’t like.
This time, I aimed the machine gun at the wall.
Tudadadada!
The mana-filled bullet hit the wall, but the wall only made a dent and did not break through.
Instead, a warning sound was heard.
[Wheeeeeing!]
[Explosion and shooting occur inside. It appears that an outsider has entered the aircraft.]
[Intruder!]
A heavy voice continued to warn in English.
Shane ignored the warning and tried to attack again, but was forced to stop due to the communication received through the antenna.
-Everyone run away!
-damage! The robot shoots a missile!
-Nonsense! Wasn’t that made by people?
-Missiles and artillery fire, how can we stop them?
-We must retreat! Even robots can’t be stopped!
Perhaps because of the explosion a little while ago, the radio waves that had been blocked were being heard again.
The robot monster was rampaging.
There was no time to waste everything like this.
And
Shane himself had no time left.
He checked the message floating in the corner of his eye again.
A red warning message appeared as always.
It was a message that we were now familiar with as we had been together for a long time.
And below it, a new message appeared.
A message that was floating around a while ago. A completely different message appeared: [Remaining period cannot be confirmed].
Two days remaining.
His lifespan was decided.
*
This was a message that appeared a few days ago.
He didn’t tell anyone except Eve for fear of being harmed in this battle.
[The system will shut down after 47 hours due to exceeding the module usage period. Please back up your data and prepare for AI module initialization. [Administrator processor....]
Various management conventions continued to be printed below the message, but Shane was not interested in them.
If there was no other AI, it would have backed up information for the advancement of science, but here was Eve, a superior AI.
Moreover, even if he backed up his data, he was not backed up. Unfortunately, he and Eve were mutant AIs bound to mana stones. Mana AIs were independent objects that could not be duplicated.
It was fortunate that he was not randomly cloned, but when the time came, he was very disappointed.
“I thought we’d have time to say hello after this fight...”
He didn’t want it to end like in the movies.
I wasn’t going to become a cowboy who left without announcing the end.
‘Is it because of Shane?’
But in the end, it seemed like it ended as the name suggests.
I left a greeting for Eve, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
He took off his body armor and unwrapped his bandages.
A body made of machines appeared for the first time in a long time.
Shane grabbed her left breast with his hand and pulled hard.
Shhh. Clap.
One chest was wide open. And in the open chest, a brightly shining mana stone was seen.
Shane forcibly pulled out the installed mana stone.
The mana stone was pulled out along with a bundle of wires connected to the body.
He pulled the red wire out of the bundle of wires.
puck!
[The runaway approval system has been canceled. From now on, its own AI can decide to run away.]
“I did something annoying.”
It was a system that Eve installed when she created a new body for Shane in case he would commit suicide.
Eve thought Shane didn’t know, but Shane was just as expert on robots as Eve.
Shane lifted up the mana stone he had pulled out. A mana stone came up in front of the camera along with a bunch of wires.
The mana stone began to glow red.
Shane watched the mana stone getting hotter.
Images passed over the mana stone.
It seemed like the stored data was being played back at random due to the excessive flow of mana.
‘Is it like the magic light that humans talk about?’
His life was unfolding quickly before his eyes.
Opening your eyes for the first time, learning from videos, being left alone, fighting monsters, waiting, fighting, waiting.
The video of the placenta was a video of the placenta alone in the laboratory.
But the videos playing in the background were different from back then.
I could no longer cut off the incoming tree branches.
My mana was gone and my stamina was depleted.
The tree monster was pushing her to one side as if it were hunting.
And with the remaining branches, he caught and killed other awakened people.
Isabel bit her lip. Blood was flowing, but she didn’t notice.
She asked for forgiveness from the dying awakened ones.
I was sorry that I couldn’t save them, and I was sorry that I was more worried about my other colleagues than about them dying.
She continued to look at the stationary robot, dodging flying branches.
Although no one else noticed, she noticed that Shane was inside the robot.
The robot stopped and communication with Shane was lost.
Kyunghoon and Shane Bailey were family to her.
I was sad about other people’s deaths, but I couldn’t help but worry more about my family.
It was then.
Chii Iik.
The stopped robot started moving again.
It rattled.
Smoke billowed out and the small door in the giant robot’s chest was wide open.
And
tongue.
A human-sized robot popped out from inside.
Isabelle’s face turned white.
For others, this might be the first robot they had seen, but she knew the falling robot all too well.
thud!
The robot fell to the floor.
“Shane!”
The branch fell on her again, but she didn’t seem to care.
bang!
A large tree branch fell on her.
The ground cracked and dust rose up.
But Isabel was not there.
Isabelle, who had become translucent, broke through the space and arrived next to Shane.
Although she was sweating profusely from using too much mana, Isabelle just sat next to the robot and frantically checked the robot.
Shane was right. But the robot in front of me didn’t look like Shane.
The camera was looking in a strange direction and the limbs were strangely bent.
The camera light was off and I couldn’t feel any mana flowing through my body.
It was natural.
My wide open chest was empty.
The mana stone that should have been there was rolling around far away.
“No... no...”
Isabelle picked up the robot with a dazed expression.
The shaky machine was lifted upwards.
The robot had stopped working.
Even as she was immersed in grief, the fight continued. The tree monster, which had missed her, hurled a load of branches at her again.
This time, it fired several branches at once, making it impossible for her to avoid.
Isabelle looked at the flying branches with tears streaming down her face.
There
was no way to avoid it now . There was no mana.
And she didn’t want to avoid it. Her precious family was dead.
She felt like she heard a shout from far away, but she couldn’t move.
Kugugugu.
The giant robot also moved again.
Do you plan on finishing it?
The giant robot moved with her. I swung my fist at the stopped robot.
Isabel closed her eyes.
Boom!
A huge sound hit Isabel’s ears.
Dust passed by her body.
‘Did you hear a sound?’
If she was dead, there was no way she could hear it.
Her body didn’t hurt.
Isabel opened her eyes.
In front of her, she saw a huge iron fist stuck in the ground.
Under the iron fist, there were shattered tree branches.
Sigh!
Screaming strangely . The tree monster tried to retrieve the branches again.
Twisting.
But the branches were caught in a huge iron fist and could not move.
The giant robot grabbed the branches.
In an absurd situation, the tree monster stopped moving.
But the giant robot continued to move. .Rock
, rattle.
The cover on the shoulder opened and the iron plate covering the arm was thrown aside.
All the autocannons on the body were pointed at the tree monster.
Then, a system voice was heard from the robot.
[Target. Tree Lord]
And then a heavy male voice rang out.
[Full barrage!]
Shuaaaaaa!
All the missiles flew out from inside the open cover, and multiple cannons poured out from under the iron plate that was thrown aside.
Quaaaaaaa!
The autocannons pounded the shield, and the weapons with the symbols on them pierced the shield.
Kuaaaa ! Ahhh!
The monster screamed.
Then the giant robot looked at Isabelle.
Isabelle looked up at the robot blankly.
“Shane?”
