Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

In the corner, Jiang Zhe, observing from the surveillance camera's perspective, frowned deeply.

This boss is way too strong, and my brotherhood has become a shackle for me.

Once he makes a move, the hatred will likely shift instantly.

"We need to find something to keep him in check..."

His gaze began to sweep quickly across the battlefield, finally settling on one of the walls of the hall.

There, a row of puppets identical to those used by the BOSS are hanging.

Although it doesn't appear to be connected to the local area network yet, it's not important to Jiang Zhe.

After all, he plugged in a wired network cable.

"Learn from the barbarians to subdue them! Since you're so enthusiastic, then I won't hold back."

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes.

"Licker, make your move! And drag Zhang Yuan over here too."

……

On the other side, the battle situation was already appalling.

Li Kai was once again sent flying like a fly by a punch, his injuries no longer able to heal in time to the extent of the damage.

Looking at Leia, who was almost at her wit's end, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"Let's give it our all!"

The next moment, without hesitation, he pulled out a deep red potion and plunged it into his neck.

"Ugh!"

As the medicine entered his body, a surge of violent energy instantly filled his entire being, rapidly healing his injuries in conjunction with the black substance.

"Again!"

He roared and charged forward again, trying to break him down.

"Inferior creatures."

Upon seeing this, a red light flashed in the puppet's eyes, and its four arms moved in unison, instantly neutralizing Li Kai's attack.

Then a heavy punch slammed him into the ground.

But just as it was about to finish them off, its gaze inadvertently drifted to the corner.

There, a human was actually groping the gift he had prepared for his brother.

"Um?"

It paused for a moment, then abandoned Leia and the other person, and its figure vanished instantly.

"die!"

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhang Yuan.

A terrifying wind pressure swept in, and the powerful iron fist was raised high before crashing down with destructive force.

Seeing the fist rapidly enlarging, Zhang Yuan's movements became even faster.

"Hurry, almost there!"

At this critical moment...

"Buzz..."

The puppet, which had been standing still, suddenly burst forth with light from its chest without warning.

All six eyes lit up at the same time, but instead of red, they emitted a faint blue light.

"Bang!"

A deafening metallic clang rang out instantly, sending shockwaves surging and even sending Zhang Yuan flying.

He rolled to the side and barely opened his eyes, then saw a scene he would never forget.

That deadly iron fist was actually caught firmly by an equally strong arm!

"Why?" The BOSS was taken aback, and his movements faltered.

But in that instant, Jiang Zhe controlled his two arms behind his back and shot them out with lightning speed.

Then, with a precise snap and a sharp twist!

"Click..."

The joints locked, sparks flew.

The BOSS's offensive was actually contained and even pushed back.

Immediately afterwards, the backup puppet slowly got up, then moved its four arms, making a crisp metallic scraping sound.

Jiang Zhe's voice also came from it, calm and indifferent.

"I'm sorry, you can't go any further."

"Brother... what's wrong?"

The BOSS staggered back two steps, staring intently at the shell in front of it, its eyes flashing red light wildly.

"No...so you were controlled by it?"

"Is this the truth about when you woke up? Being controlled by that damned guy again, being driven like a dog?!"

In an instant, the grief transformed into a purer and more frenzied killing intent.

"Since that's the case..."

Its armor plates exploded off, revealing its crimson core, and it entered full-power mode.

"Then for the sake of your ideals... please die!"

Before the words were even finished, the BOSS's figure had already turned into a crimson afterimage.

It burst forth with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Sizzle...!"

Four iron fists swept through the air, devoid of any technique, relying solely on pure numerical values.

"Did you go too far?"

Although the physical body was not there, the sense of crisis of being locked on did not diminish in the slightest.

Not daring to be careless in the slightest, with a thought, the backup machine controlled by Jiang Zhe also roared to life.

"Buzz..."

Although this machine does not have the same strength as the other, it still has the ability to overclock.

"boom!"

He moved as well, advancing instead of retreating.

They also attacked head-on with all four arms out!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dull thud echoed through the empty hall.

The two fully powered steel golems collided without any fancy moves, each punch seemingly causing the ground to tremble.

Sparks flew and metal twisted.

This is hardly a battle; it's more like two out-of-control heavy trucks, fully loaded, colliding head-on!

"Is there a second phase?"

In the corner, Leia, severely injured and limp on the ground, stared at the scene before her, her eyes filled with shock.

Although she was warlike, she knew that this level of battle was completely beyond her control.

Level 3? Level 4?

Leia didn't know, but a light gradually appeared in her eyes.

If she can survive this time, she can master this level of strength!

"Poor brother..."

During the fierce battle, the red light in the BOSS's eyes grew increasingly frenzied, and his voice carried a hint of pity.

"How did that stupid guy even manage to do that?"

"I've been trying so hard, but still..."

The next moment, it abandoned its defense and slammed down with terrifying force through its four hands.

This attack was fierce; if it landed, it would directly secure the victory.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhe snorted coldly and emitted a chilling electronic voice through the puppet's speaker.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Despite facing this deadly attack, he remained calm.

Based on his previous research and analysis, he suddenly spun his upper body around.

"Snap!"

The waist made a sound of unbearable strain, and the entire puppet twisted its upper body in an illogical way.

"call!"

When his punch missed, Jiang Zhe took the opportunity to brace himself with both hands on the ground and, using the momentum of the rotation, slammed his other two hands into his opponent's abdomen.

"Get out of here!"

"Thump!"

The opponent was so shocked by the attack that he staggered back several steps, and his chest armor was dented.

"How could this be? That kind of reaction... how could that guy possibly do that?"

He was somewhat incredulous, and the red light in his eyes flickered uncertainly.

He had been struggling with the system for an unknown amount of time, and had gained a thorough understanding of its abilities.

How could that fool possibly do such a thing?

But Jiang Zhe wouldn't give him much time to think about life.

"You're running low on energy, aren't you?"

Jiang Zhe keenly noticed the almost imperceptible delay the other party had made just now.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to counterattack relatively easily.

After all, the previous battles took their toll, and now we're unleashing our full power.

Even if this puppet is powerful, it is ultimately not a perpetual motion machine.

"it's over."

"boom!"

With a thought, Jiang Zhe charged forward like a cannonball.

Four hands spread out, simultaneously blocking the opponent's escape route from several directions.

"you……"

The other party intended to replicate Jiang Zhe's previous response, but found that their actions were a beat too slow.

"Snap!"

Two arms were successfully locked in place, while the other two rammed into his chest without any resistance.

"Pfft!"

He gripped the crimson core tightly with his arm.

"No...this is impossible..."

Its body stiffened, and red light began to flash in its eyes.

Jiang Zhe stared coldly at him, then suddenly exerted force in his hand.

"This is reality."
