Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 142 Put on Fang Ge's Bill [First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Logan Road saw only the purest white and red.

White represents Imhotep's spell, while red represents Lancelot's overloaded energy shield.

Logandao gripped the joystick tightly... This was unnecessary; as an enhanced being with Spider-Man blood, the bio-electric current in his hands alone was enough to keep the joystick in his grasp forever.

A feeling of utter powerlessness. As a pilot, faced with such overwhelming energy and attack range, any maneuver was futile.

On the contrary, Li Shuaixi, as the Ghost Rider, can actually increase Lancelot's defense.

"Uh ah ah..."

It's hard to say whether Li Shuaixi is in good condition.

He chewed on a fire-elemental energy crystal, and his whole body burst into flames.

The hellfire intertwined around him was devouring the raging, uncontrolled fire energy, causing his skeleton to crack and creak wildly.

This was not a reckless attempt; Chu Xuan had previously asked him to conduct similar experiments.

As Ghost Rider, he is virtually impossible to kill by fire, and the Burning Technique grants him the ability to draw energy from flames.

This allows energy crystals that are normally inedible to become Li Shuaixi's emergency fuel.

It's so hard to get through...

Luo Gandao didn't know how much time had passed; it could have been a moment, or it could have been thirty seconds.

As everything returned to calm, the dazzling light gradually faded away.

Luo Gandao finally realized that he had survived.

He instinctively wanted to share his joy at surviving... but found Li Shuaixi's skeleton lying quietly to the side, clearly unconscious.

"How are you two? Can you still fight?" Zhan Lan's voice came through the communicator.

There's a feeling of...exhaustion.

She even abandoned mental scanning and mind chains, focusing all her attention on urging Orochi to recover.

"Tch... Li Shuaixi won't die anytime soon."

Luo Gandao clicked his tongue, knowing that his partner had been completely burned up in this battle.

He looked resolutely at the undead priest floating in the air, and then checked Lancelot's physical condition.

"Lancelot still has 30% energy left. If he uses the sword and shield... he can continue fighting."

Although he lost the blessing of Li Shuaixi's Hellfire, Lancelot's performance and residual heat were still enough for him to carry out the next combat mission.

"Sister Zhan Lan, how long will this take?" the young man asked.

"One minute... It will only take one minute for the giant snake to regain its mobility."

Zhan Lan could sense that the reshaped serpent was rapidly growing larger after devouring the energy crystals on the landmine.

It will take more than five minutes to recover to full strength, but if you only need to fight... you can prioritize repairing one snake head.

"The Overlord's Mark armor will arrive in thirty seconds. We need to hold out for at least thirty seconds."

Chu Xuan's voice interrupted the conversation: "The most important thing is to avoid casualties... If necessary, Lancelot's unrestricted mode can be activated."

He paused for a moment, then added, "This time it can be put on the captain's tab."

"Ha! It's all his fault for slacking off, otherwise this would have been so easy..." Zhan Lan couldn't help but complain.

Although the serpent will need time to recover, Imhotep will certainly not be at his peak strength after casting such a spell...

"Why should I save money if I can use public funds?"

Luo Gandao grinned, flipped open the protective cover on the red danger button, and slammed it down hard!

"Om..."

The protective shield, which had been maintained, has shrunk and now only protects the cockpit.

Instead, there is faster speed, more power... and a shorter lifespan.

Every machine has a certain durability and lifespan. If it is damaged, it needs to be repaired... and its performance will be limited to achieve the best cost performance.

This is similar to the evolution of the human body; genes with excessively strong explosive power may be eliminated in the course of evolution because they are too energy-consuming and fragile.

Currently, Lancelot in his critical form has... unknown durability. But it's enough for Logan to temporarily keep chasing after Imhotep!

Gadagada...

Lancelot soared into the air at incredible speed, and his machine groaned under the strain of the load.

But Luo Gandao only felt a sense of exhilaration, and subconsciously felt a shattering sound.

At this moment, contrary to his usual behavior, he abandoned all unnecessary defenses, drew his sword, and slashed at Imhotep's shield!
"clang!"

"clang!"

The golden shield trembled constantly in the face of Lancelot's attack, as if it would collapse at any moment.

However, Imhotep consulted the Book of the Sun and began reinforcing the shield...

Imhotep's condition was neither good nor bad. As an undead monster, his mana was limitless, but he needed to recover after expending a large amount of it.

—Once he reinforces the shield, enabling him to unleash new spells… a machine that has abandoned its defenses simply cannot withstand it.

Therefore, only one road was left for Logan.

"That means keep chopping! Keep chopping until Lancelot's hand is severed!"

Logandao roared from inside the cockpit.

Since we've made this choice, there's no turning back! We might as well fight to the last breath, just like Li Shuaixi!

You must survive! You must survive no matter what! Slash with your sword, kick with your feet, and if Lancelot blows up, bite him with your teeth in the end!
The feeling of shattering became more and more obvious, and at this moment, Luo Gandao seemed to be possessed by Li Shuaixi's soul!
He is not fighting alone!
"You adulterous bald man! You'd better die!!"

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife. The bald man's insults undoubtedly broke Imhotep, who had almost lost everything.

"You guy!!"

Imhotep lamented that his old strength had faded and new strength had not yet emerged, and that he could only be forced to parry against such a minor character!
"I'll see how long you, this strange puppet, can hold out! I will kill you!"

"You murderer!" Luo Gandao cursed, the joystick in his hand creaking.

……

"Pfft-"

Zheng Zha's red-backed shrike pierced Orendor's body.

A raging red flame spread from the tip of the spear, quickly engulfing Orendor's entire body.

"what--"

Orlando let out a painful howl.

But the blue spherical object above his head was flashing a dangerous light at that moment!
"Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!!"

[Side Quest: Stop the God of Set's Plot. Completion rewards the entire team with 1 C-rank side quest and 2000 reward points. Failure deducts 2 C-rank side quests and 4000 reward points.]

Side mission?

Everyone currently on the battlefield has received this mission notification.

"This is……"

Zheng Zha saw Orendor's figure gradually become transparent, while the spherical object became increasingly dazzling!

"Could he really summon the Titans?"

Impossible! That would be equivalent to the god Set himself descending; how could such a thing possibly happen?
"Can you hear me, Zheng Zha?"

The captain's voice suddenly reached Zheng Zha's ears.

"Try to kill Imhotep first... Don't worry about returning after completing the mission, we'll trigger the second part of the story soon."

Fang Ge's instructions were very clear, and Zheng Zha immediately had a direction.

"Should we just ignore this thing in front of us?" Zheng Zha asked to confirm.

"Let him evolve for a while, then find an opportunity to let Zhan Lan's giant snake devour him. That way, we can get the biggest benefit..."

"Relax, it's just a [snap popper], not a real giant soldier."
