Chapter 66 Welcome to Join the 'Barehanded Disassembly of Mecha' Club

"Level 5?! Wasn't it level 3 just now?"

The angry look on Rudolf's face was gradually replaced by a kind of fear.

The conflicting emotions of discrimination and fear of natural people towards psychics are vividly reflected in Rudolf.

In terms of treating psychics, the Empire is not much better than the Federation.

Even because of the high popularity of genetic engineering in the Empire, many people, from nobles to ordinary people, agree with the so-called "theory of genetic superiority and inferiority".

In their eyes, the appearance of "dragon" characteristics in the body and the natural increase in physical strength without transformation are the manifestations of optimized purebred genes.

And psychics are just the product of failure in the process of genetic evolution.

Otherwise, why would there be only one psychic among thousands of people?

But at the same time, soldiers like Rudolf have also seen the true strength of high-level psychics in some internal meetings.

Although with his authority, he has only seen the information of level 6 psychics at most, it is enough to make him fear these "failed genetic evolutionists".

After all, the sixth-level psychic is the second-highest psychic among the human psychics active in the past hundred years.

So Rudolf fell into fear after seeing the warning of the fifth-level psychic fluctuation.

And the criterion of psychic level is not as simple as "adding one level".

Theoretically, the strength of the psychic increases exponentially with each level of psychic level increase.

Not to mention that Rudolf has served for so long and has never heard of a psychic being promoted in an emergency, and it is a "skipping" situation.

This obviously abnormal phenomenon made him feel scared and prepared to continue the attack.

Even though Rudolf's heart was almost filled with fear at this time, he never thought of retreating.

Although there are some "small flaws" in his character and conduct, Rudolf will not forget his identity as a soldier and an Imperial Royal Marine.

He is very clear about this in his heart, and he is also very clear about his duties as a soldier.

Ordinary people can choose to retreat when facing a powerful enemy that they cannot resist, but soldiers cannot.

"Even if we are completely defeated, we will regroup in hell."

Muttering the words that the instructor had said on the first day he joined the Imperial Royal Marines, Rudolf controlled HCP's right arm to hold the physical heavy sword tightly and slashed at Amber who had begun to float.

But at the moment when the blade was about to approach, Amber's figure twisted away in the air like a slippery fish.

Although Amber didn't know why he suddenly broke through, and didn't know what his current psychic level was, the feeling of psychic energy bursting out from the depths of his brain made him know that he was not dreaming.

In the previous life game, Amber's profession as a high-level psychic during the "Lone Ranger" period was naturally very skilled in controlling this kind of power, and even felt like a fish back in water.

After that, joining the "Pink Furry Rabbit" guild and becoming the commander of the main fleet was another story.

When Amber just adapted to the re-emerging psychic energy and controlled his body to float, he was shocked.

"Fuck, I can float? Isn't this the sign of a level 5 psychic?!"

"Good boy, I just skipped a level and broke through?!"

Before Amber could sigh a few more times, he saw the physical heavy sword of the 'Fanatic' slashing towards him.

With a thought, the psychic energy wrapped around him began to work, and then very naturally led his body to dodge the blade.

Amber, who dodged the sword, did not stop, and directly passed between the legs of the 'Fanatic' close to the ground.

After re-adapting to psychic energy, he has found that although he has really broken through, he has not actually become a level 5 psychic.

Instead, due to some unknown reason, his psychic energy reserves and psychic energy activity have reached the level 5 standard.

Just like a water bag filled with too much water, although it looks swollen, it actually has certain risks.

This temporary breakthrough will naturally not last long. Amber estimates that it may not take long before it will drop back to the level 4 standard.

So he must use his current strength to kill the HCP in front of him before that.

"Try this."

When Rudolph controlled the 'Fanatical' to slash at him again, Amber did not dodge any more.

Instead, he raised his hands directly, and at the moment when the blade was about to fall, he used a pair of invisible hands condensed by psychic energy to block the slash of the heavy sword.

Rudolph, whose movement was blocked, subconsciously wanted to pull the heavy sword back, but found that the physical heavy sword seemed to be stuck in the hands of this psychic agent and could not be pulled out at all.

In the stalemate, Rudolph directly raised his foot and took a step forward, and then activated the deflection force field against the decrease in the output power of the subcritical reactor.

After the invisible electromagnetic field came into contact with Amber, it instantly turned into countless electric snakes and attacked him, but Amber did not panic at all, but simultaneously activated his own psychic shield.

The strong electric field and psychic energy, the two forces of materialism and idealism, started a duel between Rudolph and Amber.

"Lilith, remove the psychic suppression of the tactical mask!"

Seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate due to the large number of sparks, arcs, electromagnetic vortices and other "special effects", Amber decided to "increase the pressure" without hesitation.

The psychic suppression function of the tactical visor generally cannot be disabled, and even Amber herself does not have this authority.

But now that he has Lilith, it makes no difference whether he has this authority or not.

"Understood, Master! The authority is being bypassed and the psychic suppression has been lifted!"

Lilith was completely unambiguous at this time. She knew that she and Amber were one now, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they would live and die together.

So for Amber's similar orders, she carried out all orders unconditionally.

When the built-in psychic suppression device in the psychic agent's tactical visor was turned off, Amber felt like Unit 1 whose restraints had been released.

The violent psychic energy even burst out uncontrollably, but it finally exploded through the psychic shield under Amber's guidance.

"boom!"

A chaotic psychic shock wave suddenly erupted with Amber as the center.

This shock wave, which made no distinction between friend and foe, not only shattered his exoskeleton and tactical visor, but also shattered the 'Zealot's' physical epee into several pieces.

Even various parts of the 'Zealot's' torso and a large number of sensors on the equipment were damaged to varying degrees.

Some small parts were shattered by the shock wave, and the electromagnetic muscle bundles of the limbs were also broken.

Rudolph felt that the entire sky in the cockpit suddenly went dark, and the combat auxiliary AI 'Spikulus' that was originally floating in the air also disappeared.

In the entire cockpit, there was only an optical lens screen used in emergencies.

[Warning, psychic impact detected, system offline! ]

[The core system is restarting, please wait. ]

"It's over."

An ominous premonition flashed through Rudolph's mind. He felt that the psychic agent in front of him, who had made a breakthrough before the battle, would never give up this excellent opportunity.

And Amber's next move did not disappoint him.

After the violent spiritual energy spurted out, he forcibly condensed it around his body.

Immediately afterwards, Amber "kicked her legs hard on the ground, and her whole body hit the 'fanatic' who was standing quietly like a cannonball.

"boom!"

It was as if a void hammer hit the front armor of the ‘Zealot’.

Rudolf in the cockpit felt as if he was hit by a heavy truck while driving his car.

The driver's seat belt tightened instantly, locking him firmly in the seat.

Amidst the loud noise caused by the impact, the steel giant that was standing still was knocked backwards.

If there was no abnormality in the HCP at this time, Rudolph would be able to stop the tendency of falling backward and stand up again by relying on the thrust of the attitude compensation system and the plasma propulsion array.

Unfortunately, HCP is currently being restarted and cannot complete these operations at all.

The height of the Empire's 'Zealot' is 9.6 meters, which is relatively tall among the current common HCPs.

The height of the 'Zealot' cockpit from the ground is about 7 meters, which means that the pilot almost always sits at a height of about two stories and fights.

This is not a problem under normal circumstances. The body's attitude correction system, plasma propulsion array, and vector nozzles throughout the body can prevent HCP from accidentally falling.

Even worse, it is also a common operation for HCP pilots to use the on-demand operating system to support the robotic arm on the ground for buffering.

Unfortunately, Rudolph can't do anything now, with the reboot's 'zealots' trapping him like a bulky iron box.

Using the feet of the 'Zealot' as the base point, under the influence of a moment of more than 7 meters, Rudolph fell backwards with the body.

It was like being hit by a vehicle traveling at 100 kilometers per hour and then flying out from the second floor.

After detecting the abnormality, the hydraulic anti-load driving suit on his body immediately began to help offset the negative G.

But when the 98-ton Zealot crashed to the ground, the violent vibration caused Rudolph in the cockpit to almost vomit out the undigested food residue in his stomach.

Almost at the same time that the ‘Zealot’ fell, its core system finally completed its restart, and the avatar of the combat assistance AI also reappeared.

The airborne AI Spiculus quickly began to perform self-checks on the body.

But after the quick self-examination, the dense red marks on the schematic diagram of each module of the body made Rudolph despair.

In particular, the subcritical reactor also suffered a malfunction. The core temperature has been falling since the restart, and the temperature cannot be raised again.

This results in the plasma thermoelectric converter being completely unable to convert enough current to operate the electromagnetic joints and electromagnetic muscle bundles in various parts of the body.

Rudolph moved desperately through the on-demand operating system, but the arms of the 'Zealot' never had enough strength to support the body.

"Spikulus, supply all the remaining energy to the propulsion unit, push me up!"

A blast of blue light immediately erupted from the back of the ‘Zealot’.

Just when he was about to make a desperate move, he planned to rely on the explosive thrust of the plasma propulsion array to forcefully push the body up.

Amber, who soared into the air, fell directly from mid-air and stepped on the front main armor of the aircraft body - which was also the hatch cover of the cockpit.

Level 5 psychic energy manifests, range gravity control!

"boom!"

It was as if an invisible giant hand slapped down, and the "Fanatical" that had just left the ground not far away was pressed back again.

The propulsion array on its back was also completely scrapped under this rough attack.

Rudolph was still making his last struggle, his eyes fixed on the federal psychic agent who was "stepping on his head".

The laser gun towers on both sides of the main monitor on the head immediately aimed at it under the guidance of "pupil aiming".

But before the recharging was completed, Rudolph saw the psychic agent raise his hands and then clench them hard in the void.

Two more red dots appeared on the schematic diagram of the modules of the body on one side of the main screen.

All the means of attack were disintegrated by the psychic agent who suddenly exploded in front of him.

The muscles on Rudolph's face twitched unconsciously a few times, and he was ready to use the last resort.

"Spikulus is preparing to melt the core."

"Sir, are you sure you want to perform this operation? Please note that this operation will cause irreversible damage to the machine and may threaten the life of the pilot."

"I confirm this operation."

"Request received, please say the confirmation code for the core melt operation!"

"THK"

As soon as Rudolph opened his mouth to say the confirmation code, he felt a flash of lightning in front of his eyes, and then the psychic agent standing on the machine was suddenly knocked back.

"Fuck!"

Amber, who was in mid-air, felt that his strengthened body was about to fall apart.

Just now, a high-speed piercing rod from a distance hit the psychic shield hard.

Although Amber reinforced the shield at the critical moment and successfully twisted the high-speed piercing rod away, the huge kinetic energy still knocked him back.

With the same level 5 psychic strength, a "fat" guy like himself is still not as good as a serious level 5 psychic.

The latter can easily bounce off the direct fire of the electromagnetic cannon.

After finally controlling his psychic energy to land on the ground, Amber rushed towards the forest beside him without looking back.

The sudden electromagnetic cannon attack just now meant that the follow-up support of the Empire had arrived. If he forced to finish off the "Fanatic", he might also be trapped.

Although Amber felt extremely uncomfortable because she didn't kill the perverted "Fanatic" pilot.

But this is life, not everything will go smoothly.

At the same time, after clearly feeling that his physical level 5 psychic energy began to slowly fade, Amber quickened his pace and rushed towards the position where Major Randall was before.

While the psychic energy impact just burst out to paralyze the "Fanatic", he actually sensed the vital signs of humans in this direction.
