Chapter 906 Sense of dissonance

How do we handle those drones?
Misaka Mikoto looked up and saw three more six-rotor drones of the same model flying in from a distance, unleashing their firepower on the battlefield.

On the city wall, numerous multi-legged robots entered their designated positions, transforming into artillery turrets and joining the bombardment.

Intense firepower swept across the battlefield, meticulously cleaning every inch of land...

These artillery attacks are indiscriminate, targeting both friend and foe!
Or rather, even at extremely high speeds, they couldn't distinguish Lin Wuming and Houfang Zhishui; in most cases, their fire control radar couldn't even see the two of them.

Therefore, they can only engage in indiscriminate attacks, with the two of them ganging up on each other!

This is of course not allowed!
Not only did they not help, but they also caused trouble and made things worse, which is truly unforgivable!

Misaka Mikoto's eyes sharpened; she knew what she had to do. So she immediately sprang into action—destroying these drones and robots, or seizing control of them, were things she excelled at!
In fact, Misaka Mikoto did indeed take control of all the drones and multi-legged robots immediately—first by using electromagnetic force and iron filings to lock their mechanical structures and forcibly stop their movements; then by hacking into their operating systems and truly seizing control of them.

The effect was immediate; in just a few seconds, all the mechanical creations present fell under Misaka Mikoto's control.

Indiscriminate fire coverage immediately ceased.

Then, Misaka Mikoto had an idea and personally controlled the weapons mounted on these mechanical creations to focus fire on the water behind!
—The water behind was indeed moving very fast, faster than the naked eye could perceive, faster than the tracking speed of the fire control radar on the drone.

But that was only because the radar was not powerful enough. Misaka Mikoto is a Level 5 Electromaster, and her brain is the most powerful radar in the world.

Even targets exceeding the standard, such as the water behind the enemy, can be detected and locked.

Meanwhile, the water behind them was chasing Lin Wuming...

The pace of this battle was already fast, so he chanted incantations and unleashed finishing moves much faster than usual.

However, to his surprise, his signature finishing move failed to work!

Lin Wuming wasn't surprised by this—it was just a finishing move, conveniently putting him into "bullet time" mode.

With the "bullet time" state activated, Lin Wuming's speed increased dramatically once again. He used his psychic barrier to build a defense while simultaneously using his psychic powers to enhance himself and perform supersonic maneuvers to dodge attacks.

Ultimately, apart from creating a crater over 100 meters in diameter on the ground, the impact caused no other damage.

Entering "bullet time" mode, Lin Wuming seized the opportunity to counterattack, turning iron sand into sharp blades to slash at the enemy.

The attack missed, and the water behind him showed no emotion on its face. It immediately swung the ice pillar in its hand again, sweeping away the iron sand that was attacking it.

But then came the second, the third, the fourth... until an uncountable number of strikes came rushing in.

Several "psychic acceleration cannons" were also mixed in.

The water behind roared and immediately burst into full speed, swinging ice pillars to meet the dense barrage of iron sand slashes.

During the collision, the ice pillar was quickly destroyed, and the water behind it had no time to repair it, so it simply continued to fight back with its bare hands.

The deadly crisis came and went quickly. Lin Wuming, out of his "bullet time" state, lacked a decisive finishing move and ultimately failed to seize the opportunity to eliminate his enemy. Lin Wuming's offensive eased slightly, but Shui from behind immediately seized the opportunity, regaining the initiative and launching a counterattack…

Only then did the barrage of bullets launched by drones and turret robots, controlled by Misaka Mikoto, finally arrive on the battlefield.

The water behind Lin Wuming, which was "chasing" him, was suddenly overwhelmed by a massive barrage of bullets, and was momentarily stunned.

It turns out that the previous firepower coverage was ineffective simply because the firepower was not strong enough!
At the same time, tens of thousands of bullets formed a literal "bullet screen," and there was more than one layer of them!
Even if the water behind can manipulate the water flow to protect itself, it won't last long against the same massive barrage of bullets.

Once the defenses are breached... can a saint's powerful physique truly withstand the metal storm?

Such terrifying firepower even startled Lin Wuming, who was right next to him. He immediately abandoned the idea of ​​pursuing the enemy and instead retreated quickly to create distance.

Not only Lin Wuming, but also Kanzaki Kaori, who had just arrived, decisively stopped and did not rush into the battlefield.

Seeing the overwhelming and unreasonable firepower before her, Kanzaki Kaori asked herself honestly, and did not believe she could escape unscathed.

—This is the real "violence" on the scientific side!
Misaka Mikoto was only focused on causing some trouble for the powerful enemy, the Water in the Rear, so she concentrated all her firepower.

Seeing this scene again now, she was also frightened.

It's only because of the extraordinary existence of the water behind that it would have been a certain death for anyone else.
Misaka Mikoto had a sudden realization—compared to iron sand and steel bars, readily available weapons and equipment might be easier to operate and more efficient!

However, that's all in the future. This concentrated fire almost exhausted the ammunition carried by the drones and robots, so even if Misaka Mikoto wanted to continue, she was powerless to do so.

And the water behind them miraculously survived this ordeal once again!
He cleared a safe zone through a hail of bullets with speed faster than bullets, thus avoiding the remaining barrage.

The lack of a well-planned launch frequency rendered this offensive ineffective, giving the rear forces room to exploit the situation.

As she wiped the cold sweat from her heart, she vaguely sensed something was amiss behind her.

He suddenly noticed something—the pace of the battle seemed to be much faster than he had sensed.

Being caught in the middle of the battle, Shui, who was in the rear, failed to notice anything unusual; the girls not far away also seemed to have been drawn into this abnormal battle rhythm, so it was impossible to tell anything from their reactions.

Looking back at the entire battle, the Water from the Rear controlled the rhythm of the battle from beginning to end, firmly holding the upper hand; on the contrary, Lin Wuming and his companions could only passively fight back, and were in a very sorry state.

Despite Lin Wuming and his companions repeatedly exceeding their own expectations and creating miracle after miracle, this ultimately could not change the outcome of the battle. After all, the absolute difference in strength was an objective fact—this was always the view of Houfang Zhishui…

However, Kanzaki Kaori, who had just arrived, provided the Water behind her with a completely new third-party frame of reference.

—Her reaction and movement speed seemed to be much slower than she had expected.

"The water behind me thought to myself."
