After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"Hmm... I think that's probably because the planet-destroying cannon hadn't been activated yet."

The eight-tailed fox also walked to the window and guessed just like that.

"Uh?"

"Because such a large tube would be easily struck by meteorites drifting in space... so it couldn't have been sticking out indefinitely for thousands of years, just like a person's private parts, which are usually protected by underwear and only need to grow bigger and thicker when needed."

"Eight-tailed fox!"

Chapter 16 Machine Riot

Guided by Xiaomeng and Xiaoling, the Time Shuttle slowly landed on the moon.

The Earth Defense Headquarters is a battle fortress located underground. So, as long as you land through the pass above, the Time Traveler can use the elevator to go directly to the helipad at the bottom of the fortress.

According to Xiaomeng, the staff inside the fortress are ready to welcome everyone—but apart from the highest level of the Earth Defense Headquarters, no one else knows the girls' true identities.

……

"We're about to enter headquarters, I'm so excited!"

"I wonder if I'll ever see that girl named Tsukimi Shimo..."

……

Lonnie, also feeling a little uneasy, prepared to wait with everyone for the staff to guide her.

But at that very moment...

An unexpected change occurred.

……

"Warning, warning, intruder detected. Command center on alert, emergency response plan activated."

In an instant, Lonnies saw a bright red light outside the window, and the words "crisis" appeared on both the ceiling and the display screen at the end of the hangar.

"How is this going?"

"Has the enemy invaded?"

Luo Zhisheng and Zhou Mixue appeared somewhat frightened. They quickly ran to the liaison station and tried to communicate with the headquarters radio station.

But no matter how many times I called, all I heard was a hissing sound.

……

And then...

A security door was pushed open.

Emerging from it was a gigantic combat mech: it was about six meters tall, had four huge and powerful legs, and a massive laser emitter was mounted on its head, making it look like a main combat weapon of modern civilization.

And what about this machine?

Without saying a word, he fired a shot directly at the Time Traveler!

Boom!

Although the sharp laser couldn't immediately damage the Time Shuttle, it did dissipate the energy shield, and alarms sounded in the cockpit.

……

"Warning! Warning! Under attack!"

……

"Is this...is the robot being controlled? Has the Supreme Civilization already reached this place?"

"No matter what, we can't let that machine continue its attack; we have to stop it!"

……

Lian Lan and Luo Zhisheng exchanged a glance and leaped out of the Time Shuttle together. Their bodies were incredibly light, and the gravity on the moon was extremely low, so even though the Time Shuttle was hundreds of meters away from the robot, the two of them reached the target's location with just one jump.

"senior?"

"Ok!"

The two girls moved with practiced ease. However, upon seeing an attack, the combat mechs immediately activated their anti-aircraft machine guns—which were loaded with explosive rounds mixed with magic crystals, not ordinary bullets!

These explosive rounds can easily tear flesh into pieces, and even riot shields will crumble instantly in front of them.

but……

A vast torrent of water appeared around Lianlan. The water instantly neutralized the power of the explosive bomb and continued to draw the mech's attention.

Although Lianlan was at the forefront, it was just a feint, her purpose being to provide Luo Zhisheng with the perfect opportunity to strike!

Luo Zhisheng did not disappoint Lian Lan's expectations. She immediately pounced on the waist of the combat mech—and with the support of the orange light, the mech's engine core was exposed.

"The Sword of Annihilation!"

Although the 300mm thick composite armor was sturdy, Luo Zhisheng's Flashing Sword could ignore a portion of its defenses. Thus, with a flash of silver light, the core of the combat mech was sliced ​​straight through by Luo Zhisheng.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the once invincible combat mech collapsed to the ground, completely unable to move.

……

……

"Senior Luo Zhisheng, Hero Lianlan, are you alright?"

"It's nothing... but what exactly happened?"

……

Lianlan looked around. Although the entire hangar was glowing red, there were no other unusual sounds after the robot fell.

There has been no progress in communication with headquarters, and no matter how the terminal responds, there is no response from them.

……

"Oh no, I'm so sorry, how could this happen!"

And what about Xiaomeng?

She appeared so panicked that she was on the verge of tears. She had originally thought she could bring a joyful experience to the guests, but she never expected things to turn out this way.

"Grandma Xiaomeng, don't worry! It's okay, we don't mind."

Seeing this, Xiao Suling quickly stepped forward. She took out her handkerchief and tried to wipe away Xiao Meng's tears.

But at that very moment...

Xiao Ling sighed, walked up, and said:

"Oh, what an idiot! Xiaomeng, don't you know? This hangar is for parking fighter jets, but the storage area for combat mechs isn't on this side."

"what?"

"So, the presence of combat mechs here must have been pre-planned. And the intruders mentioned in the alarm must have referred to us and our guests, right?"

"what?!"

Xiaoling's deduction stunned several girls.

Especially Luo Zhisheng, who turned her head in disbelief and asked questioningly, "How is this possible? Doesn't that mean there's a traitor at headquarters too?"

"Have the robots here rebelled too? Could it be that..."

Bai Ye also seemed a little nervous. Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe that the situation had gotten so bad.

However, only one girl remained calm from beginning to end.

That's over there...

Lonnie Elusia.

……

As the "spiritual" and "practical" leader of the girls, Miss Lonnie Elusia currently embodies everyone's hopes... so as long as she doesn't show any panic, no matter how bad the situation gets, everyone won't panic.

The gray-haired, fox-eared girl gave a cold snort:

"Hmph, what a boring little trick."

"boring?"

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken... this is a test, a test of whether we have the combat strength and the ability to cooperate with each other. And I suspect that our battle was also transmitted to some camera and was seen by some people, right?"

"this!"

"Is it... a test?"

"Yes."

Elusia's words reassured the girls considerably, and the gray-haired girl suddenly looked up, gazing into the depths ahead, and said:

"But... this kind of trial is completely unnecessary! Because I only need one second to show you that my power is unmatched."

"!"

"O Flame Abyss! Respond to my call, ignite the primordial flame that illuminates all!"

……

……

----------------------

……

……

"Wow, that's amazing! Not only could it sever the combat mech with a single strike, but it also discovered our plan almost instantly!"

In the pitch-black command room, a maid with short brown hair patted her chest, still shaken.

"Hmph, all you know is how to bluff... Is that guy named Lonnies?"

Beside her stood a girl with beautiful purple hair… her appearance was incredibly beautiful, almost on par with Elusia's.
