Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 596 Confused
Zhang Jie clenched his fists. Now that he believed the mission would eventually change, he no longer cared much about the outcome of the mecha combat. He was only taking on a few new recruits because he was capable of being in multiple places at once, and also because he could learn as much as possible while getting close to the characters in the story.

In this movie, which isn't usually dangerous, receiving professional training... even if a newcomer like Xie Yu doesn't pilot a mecha later, he still has a significant advantage over most newcomers in the reincarnation world. After all, this isn't a horror movie where death is always a possibility; the more training a newcomer receives, the more benefits they'll have.

As for the newcomer Luo Gandao… even if he can't beat Achilles, Zhang Jie won't say anything. After all, having talent in a certain area doesn't mean you have to be a prodigy to this extent. In Zhang Jie's words, even true warriors like Zheng Zha were whipped around like tops when they first entered the Main God Space. What's a little setback when your talent hasn't yet manifested?
However, Logando did indeed defeat Achilles, pushing the plot to its most crucial point... so he would definitely catch it.

“Rogando should not have received any instructions from the main god… This part of the plot has been fundamentally changed.” Liu Xi’s voice rang in everyone’s ears. “Everyone, get ready.”

Zhang Jie nodded almost imperceptibly, and an invisible force of telekinesis and mental energy expanded outward, enveloping the Allied command center and guarding against potential attacks. Meanwhile, the mark left on Luo Gandao's body also activated, its mental protective energy suddenly appearing.

He did not receive a warning from the Supreme God... This shows that the Supreme God no longer considers this action as interference with the gladiatorial combat.

The mech duel between Logan and Achilles has ended; now it's the Middle Continent team's turn to face off against the referee committee.

“Damn it…” Luo Gandao cursed under his breath, “I knew you had something going on…”

The next moment, the steel shield that had just returned to her hand, along with the steel shield in her right hand, spun out, slashing at the broken Hercules from the left and right, one at the head and one at the waist. At the same time, the barrels of all of Divana's guns extended or emerged from under her armor, unleashing a barrage of fire far exceeding the gladiatorial limits!

Most of the artillery fire was aimed at Hercules, while the rest consisted of the latest interceptor missiles, which flew outwards according to their calculated trajectories.

This dilapidated Hercules seems to have lost much of its splendor; in Roger's words, it lacks a soul.

This soul wasn't some kind of machine spirit, but rather a spiritual entity controlled by the mechanical dragon... Sure enough, when Logan zoomed in on the screen, he saw Achilles covered in blood, sweat pouring down his face. He was frantically pressing a series of buttons, but judging from his movements, there was no method to his manipulation.

Hercules's cannon fire poured outwards, targeting both Divana and the stands. Logandao's eyebrows twitched; he glanced at the calculated trajectory on the screen and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

This ballistic interception system is too rigid. Why use so many interceptor missiles to deal with artillery fire aimed at the stands?
Fortunately, Logan didn't necessarily need to rely on the interception system. He dodged a missile heading towards the Allied command center, fired from behind, and destroyed it with a high-speed missile. Then, he lifted off onto his tiptoes and guided Divana to take off directly.

A fragmentation magnetic field missile was thrown down by Logandao. Whether it was an unguided missile about to miss its target or a guided missile about to turn and chase Divana, they were all absorbed into one in the explosion of the fragmentation magnetic field missile, turning into chaotic flames.

Fragmentation magnetic field projectiles, one of the Allies' latest technologies... Only a few people know that Logan and Alexander brought them from that underwater factory. Its prototype was ammunition mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles, dating back fifty years, yet its technological level surpasses that of the Allies by fifty years!
Fragments and a small magnetic field wove together to form a cage, trapping all of Hercules' attacks within its range, which were then transformed into part of the fragmentation field. Judging by its power, if any unlucky soul were inside, turning into minced meat would be considered a large sum.

However, Logan knew that fragmentation magnetic field bullets weren't particularly powerful against mechs... and they weren't necessary against ordinary mortals either. No matter how terrifying their power seemed, their primary purpose was to restrict enemy firepower.

The real weapon to defeat Hercules lies in his hands.

The two steel shields effortlessly cleaved through Hercules' head and waist, leaving the already damaged machine even more vulnerable after being surrounded. Meanwhile, Logandao's right arm was aimed at Hercules' cockpit, beyond which lay its power core.

No aiming system is needed; Logandao can aim with the naked eye... He has already seen the structural diagram of Hercules' mech, and he is sure he can hit it.

But upon seeing Achilles on the screen, Logandao suddenly froze. Achilles' face was contorted in pain, his body convulsing violently... If it weren't for the blinding electric current, Logandao might have thought that Achilles had also unlocked his genetic potential.

But that's impossible. If Achilles could unlock his genetic potential, he wouldn't have been so suppressed by Logandao... and he wouldn't have survived until now.

Why was he electrocuted?

This momentary doubt made Logandao hesitate a bit, and a vicious armor-piercing shell was fired from half of the cannon on Hercules' shoulder, heading straight for Divana's cockpit.

Logan made no reaction. He watched as the half-cannon exploded on its own after firing the armor-piercing shell, tearing away the remaining right shoulder armor of the Hercules. After his takeoff, aiming, and hesitation, Divana's trajectory changed completely. He let the armor-piercing shell graz his aircraft and fly away to who-knows-where.

In that brief moment, Achilles forcibly removed a control panel and slammed it down with a roar.

A sense of unease swept over Logando as he saw Achilles' lips move. The roar was directed at Logando, and although he knew almost nothing about English, with the divine translation, he was able to read the lip movements correctly.

Achilles told him to leave.

“No…no, his cognition wasn’t interfered with at all! His consciousness is clear!” Logando paused for a moment, then his gaze suddenly changed; he knew what Achilles was doing.

Achilles forcefully pressed Hercules' self-destruct button!
Logan didn't know why he pressed his right arm down a bit. His armor-piercing rounds weren't aimed directly at the cockpit where Achilles was, but rather at the anchors below the cockpit.

Then, Divana fired, Hercules was hit, and Achilles' cockpit lost its last bit of stability, plummeting from a height of tens of meters.

Logan swooped down, grabbed Achilles' cockpit, and slammed it down in front of him. A deafening explosion silenced the screams from the audience.

The out-of-control Hercules exploded with a deafening roar, the violent shockwave even taking a toll on Devanagari. After all, while the two mechs differed in their specific technological levels, their overall size was similar. Logando knew that Devanagari's back armor was severely damaged, but he still managed to stabilize the mech, staggering forward a few steps to look at the cockpit in his hands.

The next moment, Logan felt a chill in his heart... The cockpit was half shattered in the impact, and Achilles was lying among the fragments, the blinding electric current still surging.

Achilles' eyes were glazed over; he felt himself entering a new state. It was this state that allowed him to escape the electric shocks from the cockpit and force Hercules to self-destruct, preventing further casualties.

But that's where it ends... Given the current state of chaos, he won't be able to wait for medical aid from the United States.

Logando saw Achilles open his mouth to him, and he knew that it was to say thank you... but he didn't know if it was to thank him for trying to save the cockpit, or to help Achilles intercept some of the outward-spraying artillery fire?
The notification from the main god sounded at this moment: "Defeat Achilles and stop the mech from going out of control... Obtain one B-level side quest, reward 5000 points."

Luo Gandao turned around blankly, only to see the audience seats behind him filled with flames.
