"Long time no see, Merlin," Clint greeted after jumping down using his hook lock. He seemed a bit surprised as he added, "I didn't expect you to be involved in this mission."
Merlin shrugged, replying with a touch of helplessness, "I couldn't avoid it. Who knew that my secret research on the serum would land me here? I can only say that Spider-Woman really knows how to get people into trouble."
Meanwhile, Gwen, who was fighting inside the Osborne Tower, felt the weight of the situation grow heavier. Two more players had joined their team—Deadpool and Hawkeye.
Hobbs led the charge, focusing on breaking through rather than getting bogged down in unnecessary fights. Their primary objective was to escort Merlin to the Osborne Industrial Building to create the serum, and then move on to the other towers to deploy it.
Before long, the team had broken through the Times Square neighborhood and arrived at the Osborne Industrial Building.
"Oh~~ It's so spectacular!" someone exclaimed as they arrived at the scene, and everyone's eyes widened in response.
The bright moon hung in the sky like a massive silver disk, its noble and cold light contrasting with the chaotic and desolate battlefield below. The cold moonlight illuminated the Osborne Industrial Building, where lizardmen clung densely to the glass walls, their ferocious mouths wide open as they roared at their surroundings.
Many players hovered around in flying vehicles, resembling swarms of insects. Bullets and missiles rained down like scattered flowers, targeting the lizardmen above the Osborne Building.
On the ground, the scene was no less intense. Countless lizard figures formed a long green river, blocking the players' advance. The players on the opposing side wore various costumes—some donned heavy armor and wielded Vulcan machine guns, turning the lizardmen before them into nothing but shattered pieces!
On the mechanical chaos side, there were towering automobile and electronic equipment chaos species, some even resembling twisted versions of Cthulhu, sprawled menacingly across the battlefield. The chaotic currents spilling from them created a field of electricity, a thunderous barrier that no one dared approach. In the midst of this chaotic melee, bullets and energy blasts crisscrossed the streets, painting a vivid picture of the battle's intensity.
Amid the chaos, one figure stood out—a massive, black, and imposing mecha known as the Khan Tank. Its right hand was an electromagnetic cannon, emitting a faint blue electric glow, while its left hand held a heavy machine gun, functioning like a mobile turret. It relentlessly bombarded the chaotic species that had emerged from the colossal transformer equipment. Each time the electromagnetic cannon fired, a massive gap appeared in the body of a Transformer Chaos, further adding to the battlefield's carnage. The entire area felt like a gigantic meat grinder, with flesh, blood, and mechanical debris flying everywhere.
As Merlin and his team arrived at the heart of the battlefield, the towering Osborne Tower, a notification flashed across the screen:
[Merlin Shaw has arrived at the Osborne Tower.]
The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and all eyes turned towards Merlin.
"Is that...?"
"Oh my god, the main character is finally here! Everyone, push harder!"
"Why isn't it Gwen? A little boy doesn't trigger any protective instincts!"
"What's wrong with a little boy? I think he's still pretty cute!"
"Get out of here, you creep! We need to break through the tower, keep smashing those lizards and chaos species, I'm going to lose my lunch!"
"Merlin! The high school student who mastered the serum!"
"Capture him! Don't let him inside!!!"
Merlin's arrival intensified the battle even more. At this stage, many players had already quit, leaving only those who understood the gravity of the situation. Some players began to think even further. They feared that if the new humans won, the lizardmen would continue to spread, eventually replacing humanity. They also speculated that this game was just the beginning, a harbinger of more crises planned by the game platform. To survive the future unknown challenges, they knew they needed to grow stronger.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!!" The deep roar of engines reverberated through the air as the convoy accelerated, charging into the chaotic battlefield like an arrow released from a bow.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The powerful impact sent lizardmen and chaos species flying across the battlefield as the convoy bulldozed through the dense crowd. The players, realizing the convoy's objective, quickly moved to hold back any lizardmen attempting to close in on them. Thanks to their cooperation, Hobbs and the team managed to break through the defense lines before the lizardmen could react. Within moments, they had reached the entrance of the Osborne Building.
"Quick! Quick! Get in quickly!" Hobbs yelled as he jumped out of the car, wielding a Vulcan machine gun. The Spiral Phantom, now transformed into a formidable Transformer, positioned itself at the exit to guard against any threats.
Meanwhile, the rest of the convoy members swiftly exited their vehicles, weapons at the ready. They joined Optimus Prime, standing side by side at the exit, ready to hold the line and ensure Merlin and his team could enter the building without incident. The situation was tense, but their coordinated efforts gave them a fighting chance to secure the entrance and move forward with their mission.
