Absolute Zone Zero: Please call me the Dragon of Annihilation

Chapter 22 The Damage to the Blue Robe

"Bang! Rumble!" A huge black shadow, like a cannonball, smashed through the broken building in front of him. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" On the other side of the hole, Ming Che flapped his dragon wings and quickly passed through the opening created by the impact.

Above each of the two hands floated a gigantic dragon head made of flames. "Alert! Several life-bearing creatures, plus a machine creation, have been detected ahead. They are heading towards the host."

"Hmph! What a nuisance. Let's finish this quickly." Ming Che finished speaking and dodged the fierce ethereal beam coming from the front. "Flame Dragon Annihilation Fist." The next second, Ming Che teleported behind the armored Hati who had been knocked away, and swung his right fist forward with such speed that it created a sonic boom in the air. "Bang!"

Armored Hati's flight path was altered by this sudden attack, and cracks began to appear in its armor. It began to revert to its original direction, just as Armored Hati was preparing to condense the ethereal pillar of light once more.

Ming Che teleported below him once more, and with a "bang! Crack! Crack!" this punch caused numerous cracks to appear in the ether armor on Armor Hati's back, which began to melt under the intense heat. Ming Che's offensive continued unabated, each punch becoming even more ferocious.

"Give it to me! Break!" Mingche appeared above Armored Hati, the dragon head on his right hand glowing red. "Roar!" The dragon head roared and charged toward Armored Hati's back with Mingche's attack.

"Bang! Boom!" The moment it made contact with the attack, the etheric armor on Armored Hatti exploded completely. His entire body crashed to the ground like a meteor, sending up a huge cloud of dust.

"Tap tap tap! Hurry, hurry, there's a sound of movement here." Zhu Yuan stood on the road not far away, holding a specially made short-barreled pistol in her hand, and loudly directed the sheriff behind her to rush towards the place where the armored vehicle had crashed.

"Zhu Yuan, be careful." At this moment, Qingyi came to Zhu Yuan's side with a long staff, raised her hand and patted Zhu Yuan's shoulder. After speaking, she withdrew her hand. She then ran alone into the deepest part of the smoke and dust. Zhu Yuan raised her hand, about to call out to Qingyi.

The next second, a crisp metallic clang rang out. "Senior!" Zhu Yuan shouted, ignoring the surrounding sheriffs' attempts to stop her, and rushed to the edge of the smoke. Before Zhu Yuan could even regain her footing, a petite black figure was sent flying backward from the smoke.

Upon seeing what had flown out, Zhu Yuan quickly opened her arms and caught it. Looking down helplessly at the woman in green in her arms, Zhu Yuan asked anxiously, "Senior! Senior, are you alright?" Zhu Yuan gently shook the unconscious woman in green in her arms.

The voice in green was no longer clear; instead, it was mixed with bursts of electronic noise. "Zhu, Zhu Yuan, hurry... hurry and go." After saying this, the person in green fell into complete silence. "Senior!" Zhu Yuan was very curious about what the person in green had encountered.

But remembering Qingyi's words, he gritted his teeth, picked her up, and ran quickly out of the smoke. As he ran, he directed the other officers to retreat, "Don't go near that smoke! One group, cover! The rest of you, retreat!"

Under Zhu Yuan's command, more than a dozen security officers quickly evacuated to a safe location. "Tap tap tap, looks like they're gone." Not long after Zhu Yuan and the others left, Ming Che emerged from behind a dilapidated building.

Mingche narrowed his yellow dragon eyes slightly, thinking, "Did I go too far just now?" But when he thought of the scene of Qingyi rushing in and seeing him like that, Mingche couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"Roar! Roar! Clatter!" A low growl came from the smoke and dust, accompanied by the scraping sound of chains. "Forget it, let's deal with the immediate problem first." Ming Che said, turning his head to look at the persistent white smoke, then waved his hand, and the smoke in front of him quickly dissipated.

Armored Hatty lay pinned to the ground like a stray dog, pinned down by several short sticks. Chains crackling with electricity were tightly bound to its body, rendering it immobile. Its once-proud ethereal armor was now tattered and mangled.

"Tap tap tap!" Ming Che slowly walked up to Armored Hati, looking down at him as he struggled to break free from his restraints. "Roar roar roar!" Armored Hati tried to pounce on Ming Che as he approached.

"Clang! Sizzle!" A powerful electric current erupted from the chains! "Awooo, whoosh~" Armored Hati let out a strange cry before collapsing to the ground. "Thump!" Having been electrocuted, Armored Hati was completely docile. Seeing this, Ming Che no longer hesitated, raising his foot to stomp on Armored Hati's enormous head. He said calmly, "Submit or die, the choice is yours." As he spoke of death, the fiery dragon head on Ming Che's right hand burned even more fiercely.

Mingche firmly believed that this newly transformed armored Hati still retained some of its former will. Sure enough, just a few seconds after Mingche said those words, the armored Hati, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, reacted.

"Roar~" Armored Hatty let out a low growl that sounded like submission. "That's right, eat it." Ming Che took a few dragon scales off his body, and then took out the ether crystal that his master had given him before he left.

Mingche casually tossed the two items into Armored Hatti's already open mouth. The next second after swallowing them, the surrounding ethereal matter surged wildly into Armored Hatti's body on the ground like a tidal wave.

"Warning! The concentration of ether in the surrounding area is rising rapidly. Please move away from this location as soon as possible." A blinding golden light burst out from the armored Hati, and Ming Che narrowed his eyes, a white nictitating membrane appearing in them.

"Whoosh!" Then, irregular ether crystal pillars appeared one after another, forming a huge ether crystal cluster around them, completely enveloping the armored Hati below, like a spiked fortress that appeared out of nowhere.

Unlike the ordinary ether crystal pillars around it, the ether crystal pillars around Armor Hatti were a noble dark gold color, and Mingche could sense that they contained several times more ether energy.

"Gurgle!" Ming Che's stomach growled at an inopportune moment. Instead of rashly breaking off the special crystal pillar in front of him, Ming Che turned around and walked to the ordinary ether crystal pillar not far away.

"Snap!" With a forceful snap, a palm-sized piece of crystal was forcibly broken off. "Fill your stomach first." With that, Ming Che raised his hand and put the ether crystal into his mouth. After finishing one, he broke off another and swallowed it.

Sixth Street Video Shop
"Brother, have you opened the latest rope net yet?" Ling asked, lying on the sofa as usual, scrolling through her phone with her slender legs resting on the armrest. Zhe glanced at his sister with disdain, not caring about her appearance at all.

He said, "Ling, watch your image." Then he took out his phone from his pocket and opened the rope net app. The first message on the homepage shocked him.

Mysterious man: "Shocking! Crete's hollow caves are dangerous and contain unknown creatures!" Below the text are two secretly taken photos. Photo 1: Qingyi lies motionless on the table, with wisps of electricity dancing on her body.

Beside the blue-clad figure were several engineers with repair tools, discussing how to best repair it. Zhe, with a serious expression, scrolled through his phone screen. Image two: In front of a huge display screen.

A group of high-ranking officers in military uniforms stared intently at the screen, their faces grim. It showed a space shrouded in smoke, where a black figure peered at the screen, his yellow dragon eyes gleaming faintly through the smoke.

Zhe stared at the dragon-like eyes, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. His intuition told him that the creature in the video was extremely dangerous. The next second, as if he had thought of something, Zhe put his phone on the table and quickly ran out of the small room.
