Chapter 208 The Most Unbeatable Enemy
[Real world, 13 stations]

Looking at the screen, one sees the Heavenly Dao sitting casually in front of the steam furnace, yet seemingly surrounded by an invisible pressure, its aura overwhelming.

Even through the screen, viewers could feel the power of the Heavenly Dao and couldn't help but feel sympathy for Chen Kong at this moment.

"Let the empty prison be filled with prison spirit—isn't that just sending a newbie straight out of the beginner's village to challenge the Great Demon King?"

"+1 to the previous comment. In the first season, even with his talent sealed, Tiandao could still easily wipe out his opponents. Now that he's fully unleashed, how can Laokong possibly win?"

'Even Lao Kong struggled against Lao Niu, the second-to-last ranked enemy, let alone Lao Tian, ​​the number one ranked enemy.'

The audience's complaints were not unfounded.

Based on the performance of Heaven's Way in the first season and the latter half of this second season.

Let alone Chen Kong in his normal state, even Bai Kong, the corrupted personality who could beat Andromeda, a cadre of the Hidden Star Society, to the ground as soon as he appeared, was severely taught a lesson by the Heavenly Dao six years ago in the soul space.

Even the Heavenly Dao Bai Kong of six years ago was no match for him, let alone the fully-formed Heavenly Dao of six years later.

This is the only enemy that makes the audience feel that the main characters can never defeat, no matter what.

After all, this is evident in the special side story of Tiandao, "The Innate Strongman," and the plot of his recent official return.

The audience in the anime/manga/game (ACG) clearly understands two things.

First, in the first season, the Doctor forcibly sealed Tiandao's special talent, Overclocking Calculation, for the purpose of protection, which meant that Tiandao was essentially cultivating with his hands and feet tied.

Second, the six years that Heaven was 'asleep' were not entirely a period of slumber, but rather a period of special cultivation carried out in a way that they were unaware of.

Although among the current Star Children, only Jing Liuli can cultivate while sleeping.

However, considering that Tiandao is the favorite son of the production team, the audience of the anime world feels that the setting of Tiandao becoming stronger while sleeping is not too outrageous.

Because even breathing can make one stronger, they all felt it was perfectly reasonable!

Faced with such a being who can be described as a natural powerhouse and a natural monster, the viewers of the anime world simply couldn't imagine how Chen Kong and his companions could possibly win.

Besides, if Chen Kong wins all of these, wouldn't the Heavenly Dao's character be ruined?
Play!

'What was the production team thinking, making an empty prison like this?'

'Lockless: The Heavenly Dao is the son of the stars, and so am I. Why don't you ask him if he fears me?'

Can I surrender and lose half? I need an answer urgently.

'Laotian, you can't hit me now that you've hit my teammate!'

No one thought Chen Kong could win, not even Chen Kong himself.

However, it wasn't just Dust Void that appeared here at this moment; there were also other Steam Branch Star Envoys.

"Deputy Captain Yu, if I were you, I wouldn't do such a foolish thing."

Just as Yu Chen quietly took out his 'Silver Falcon', preparing to launch a righteous sneak attack on Tian Dao.

Tiandao, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke.

Although his tone was very calm, it still made Yu Chen, who had just touched the weapon, freeze abruptly.

At the same time, the surrounding star envoys subconsciously held their breath, their hearts clenching as if gripped by an invisible hand, momentarily stopping.

Ignoring their reactions, Tiandao slowly straightened up, leaned back on the sofa, casually rested his chin on his right hand, and calmly glanced at Yuchen.

It was just a lazy movement, a calm gaze, yet it exuded an absolute air of superiority and an indescribable sense of oppression.

As if in response to Tiandao's words, two gear guardians, each over five meters tall, stood silently behind Tiandao, like two loyal knights, looking down at Chen Kong and the others.

As the Gear Guardian's crimson optical lens swept across the group, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. "It's the Gear Guardian."

Among the crowd, an association envoy who seemed to have a good understanding of the history of the steam city spoke up, his face pale.

To make his companions understand the meaning of the words "Gear Guardian," he continued without stopping: "The so-called Gear Guardian refers to the twelve furnace creators who assimilated their quantum data into the Steam Furnace Gear Central Hub at the very beginning of its creation."

"Although they have all died in reality, the data has given them a kind of immortality and has been protecting the safety of the gear hub."

As he spoke, the man pointed to the two gear guardians standing behind the Heavenly Dao and said in a solemn tone, "Level three. Every gear guardian here is at least level three."

“And once we trigger the protection mechanism here, these gear guardians will not hesitate to attack us.”

"So, put your weapons away, Lieutenant Yu. Now is not the time to make a move."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen first glanced at Vivian, who was in pain inside the steam furnace in the distance, and frowned, saying, "But are we just going to watch like this? What's the point of us coming here then?"

The association's star envoy opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Because he didn't know how to answer Yu Chen's question.

On one side is the Heavenly Dao, so powerful that it seems invincible.

On one side are twelve Gear Guardians, comparable to, or even surpassing, most branch captains.

No matter how you look at it, they had no chance of winning this battle, so much so that despair began to spread like a fog in everyone's hearts.

'This isn't a battle; it's a harbinger of a one-sided massacre.'

'Heavenly Dao: I'm enough on my own. You twelve... Are you here to bring me water because you're worried I'll get tired?'

'Is this what they call a great matchmaking system in our StarCraft region? A Challenger player from the suburbs being matched with a world champion?'

Just as viewers were speculating about the intentions behind the production team's arrangement of this storyline...

A piercing scream suddenly shattered the silence.
"what!!!"

The steam furnace suddenly spewed out a large amount of white mist, and Vivian's body inside the furnace was becoming transparent at a visible speed, as if she would completely dissipate into the steam in the next second.

Seeing this, Yu Chen and Chen Kong could no longer hold back.

But before they could make a move, something completely unexpected happened!

Suddenly, the four gear guardians standing in the corner flashed red light, and then the gears at their joints made a piercing grinding sound. Without warning, they swung heavy hammers at their companions!
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the attacked guardian immediately launched a counterattack, while the other gear guardians around him immediately stepped in to help suppress the four traitors who had suddenly turned against him.

In the midst of the chaos, the rebellious Gear Guardians let out a mechanical roar.

The loyalist guardians then deployed their defensive formations.

Protect the furnace. Suppress rebel units.

Watching the Gear Guardians fight each other, Yu Chen and Chen Kong exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's meaning.

Such a golden opportunity! If they could just manage to hold off the Heavenly Dao for a moment, they would have a chance to rush into the furnace and save Vivian!

However, just as the two were exchanging opinions, the anime's camera focused on Tendou.

Amidst the chaotic battle among the guardians, Tiandao remained seated on the sofa, his left hand lightly tapping the armrest.

He looked at Chen Kong and the others with a calm, slightly mocking gaze.

It was as if everything happening right now was simply within the expectations of Heaven.
