Mond turned his head, and in the distance, children were playing and fighting.

Looking at the joyful smiles on the children's faces, Mond's eyes held a hint of indescribable compassion.

"In the Mechanical Kingdom, they can only accept mechanical modification or become human pets. I deeply love these children; I don't want them to live like pets!"

"That's because they don't belong to the Mechanical Kingdom! If you really love them, why don't you send them back to the human kingdom? Why use a group of children as reserve soldiers for mechanical warriors?" Qiao Yu said.

Mond's face showed a touch of fanaticism upon hearing this.

"Because of the Mechanical Empress! Humans are the Mechanical Empress's enemies! Anyone who opposes the Mechanical Empress will not have a chance of winning!"

"The unfathomable power of the Mechanical Empress is like that of a creator, capable of turning the impossible into the possible."

"I didn't choose mechanical modification; instead, I chose to entrust hope to the Mechanical Empress."

"One day, under the leadership of the Mechanical Empress, there will be a peaceful world, a world where there won't be so many poor children!"

"What if I can defeat the Mechanical Empress?" Qiao Yu asked.

"You?" Mond glanced at Qiao Yu with disdain.

"You can't! Even if you possess the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, you can't! Don't think you're a big deal just because you killed Blitz; Blitz's strength can't even crack the top twenty in the Mechanical Kingdom!"

"Anyone who has witnessed the power of the Mechanical Empress will be captivated by it!"

Mond grabbed Qiao Yu's shoulder.

"Brother Qiao, trust me! When you witness the power of the Mechanical Empress, you will join the glorious evolution with me!"

Looking at the fanatical Mond, Qiao Yu fell silent.

The Mond before him had been completely brainwashed, like a gambler who had gone mad with gambling, and no one could persuade him to turn back.

Only when the reality of losing everything was laid out before him would the gambler have a chance of regaining some clarity.

After glancing at the children, Qiao Yu was too lazy to continue playing along with Mond and directly asked,

"Mond, tell me, where is Professor Hua Jun??"

"Hmph, so you didn't want to join the Mechanical Kingdom at all; you came to rescue someone?" Mond's face revealed a stern expression.

"Might as well tell you, Hua Jun is in the base, and the center of the base is the Mechanical Empress's palace!"

"The base where the Mechanical Empress resides is surrounded by countless protective fortresses, with a dense defense network everywhere; not even a fly can get in! Let alone rescue someone!"

"I know, but isn't there you?" Qiao Yu smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"This is the core of the Mechanical Kingdom! With just one order from me, countless mechanical soldiers will tear you to pieces! Sacred Human Body, I advise you to join us obediently and not to misunderstand yourself!" Mond roared.

"Trust me, you won't last until the soldiers arrive," Qiao Yu said earnestly.

"Hmph! You underestimate Colonel Mond too much!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mond sent out a distress signal, and then the mechanical particles on his body kept changing, transforming into a spear.

"Fight!"

Mond let out an angry roar. He was able to become a colonel as a modified human, naturally because he had charged into battle and made remarkable achievements.

He, Mond, had never been afraid of fighting!

"Then I'm coming."

Seeing Mond take out the spear, Qiao Yu also took out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

He swung the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and slashed at Mond in an unremarkable manner, just as the blade was about to hit Mond.

Mond sneered and lifted the spear upwards.

He had already seen through Qiao Yu's moves, which were full of flaws, like a novice with no combat experience.

As long as he knocked away the opponent's broadsword, then in the next second, his, Mond's, spear would pierce the opponent's throat!

The human race's Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was still too green!

Clang!

Ideals are plump, but reality is bony.

The moment the broadsword and spear collided, Mond's expression changed drastically. A terrifying force was transmitted from his hands holding the spear into Mond's body.

The terrifying power caused the circuit boards in his body to short-circuit, and his mechanically modified hands couldn't help but tremble.

"This is impossible!"

Mond's face was filled with disbelief. He knew Qiao Yu was strong, but how could a human be so strong!

Mond squinted at Qiao Yu.

"It's that blade!"

Mond, who had experienced hundreds of battles, immediately made his own judgment. He stared at the ferocious-looking Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Qiao Yu's hand.

That blade must be a legendary artifact! Otherwise, even with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, it would be impossible to injure him with a single slash!

Thinking of this, Mond said,

"Human Sacred Body, I won't use the Wind Blade Spear, and you won't use that blade either. How about we fight to the death!"

"Are you sure?" Qiao Yu's expression was a little strange.

If Mond had a spear in his hand, Qiao Yu would have to worry about being accidentally hit by him, and it would be troublesome to lose an arm or a leg.

But bare-handed…

"What's wrong, are you afraid?"

Mond took the lead in throwing out his spear, and Qiao Yu, seeing this, also put away the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Mond directly attacked, punching flesh to flesh, and fought with Qiao Yu.

Because Mond had experienced many life-and-death battles, he completely crushed Qiao Yu in terms of moves.

Qiao Yu was as weak as a toddler in front of him.

Mond's fists landed on Qiao Yu like raindrops, while Qiao Yu was beaten bloody and miserable.

This made Mond reveal a smug smile. This kid's reliance was indeed on that blade!

"Human Sacred Body, you are nothing without that blade! So what if you have the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body? The mechanical body is the strongest!"

"If you're going to say that, then I'm going to fight back."

Qiao Yu turned his fist into a hammer and slammed his right fist with all his strength directly at Mond.

"Useless! My mechanical compound eyes have already seen through all your moves!"

Mond raised his left hand, ready to block this punch.

At this moment, his mechanical compound eyes suddenly began to flash red rapidly.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

"Danger detected, danger level: Hell! Please master escape immediately!"

"Repeat! Please master escape immediately!"

Hearing the mechanical compound eye's prompt, Mond was stunned, but it was too late for him to react.

Qiao Yu's fist slammed down extremely fast.

Tear!

Mond's left hand flew high, the wound smooth and clean, as if it had been chopped off by a sharp axe.

Squeaking blue arcs of electricity emerged from his wound, reflecting Mond's dumbfounded face.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened?

"How is it, Mond? Is the mechanical body still the strongest?" Qiao Yu asked.

Mond's face was uncertain. He simply closed his eyes and raised his neck, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"The winner is king, the loser is villain. This is the truth from ancient times to the present. I have nothing to say. Kill or cut, as you please!"

"What are you going to do!"

Mond, who was prepared to die, changed his expression because he found that Qiao Yu did not kill him, but instead straddled him!

Qiao Yu showed a smile, his white teeth were very frightening in Mond's eyes.

"Be obedient, be good, it won't hurt. It will be a little painful at first, but it will be comfortable later."
