Xing Tie, my abstract thinking ability is refreshed every week.

This time it's the Strategic Investment Department.

And it was she who came.

*humming*

The piggy bank that looked like a little pig rubbed against her leg, as if sensing that she was in a bad mood.

"I'm fine, I don't care."

Topa sighed and crouched down to stroke its head.

"It's just a Great Lord of Annihilation; even I would find it difficult to come up with any effective solutions in a short time."

Toppa’s words were tinged with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Commander" level experts are extremely rare even within the company.

While the "topaz" gave her the capital to look down on those on the path of destiny, it was still completely insufficient in the face of a Commander.

Rumble!

The heat of the zero-frame start was overwhelming, and the countdown before Balanza's destruction echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

"It's the 'Mystery Cannon'..."

As the project that the Intellectual Society was responsible for transforming, Alan Jones was well aware of what a commotion of this scale would entail.

"Mystery Cannon," a creation of the 77 Mystery Figures of the Genius Club.

Star-scale weapon.

It can teleport the ray to the target location at a distance and detonate it directly, with no flight time, no deviation, and a completely zero-frame start.

It can be called the most perfect weapon.

"They really don't give people any time to think at all..."

Toppa smiled wryly, feeling utterly helpless against the "Iron Tomb's" swift and decisive actions.

She stood up and took out the "Demand Jade," the cornerstone symbolizing her identity.

"At this point, this is the only way."

Toppa looked down at the foundation stone lying in his palm.

The cornerstones are distributed as "diamonds".

If it were to be damaged, it's impossible for the "diamond" to not sense it at all.

With all modes of transportation blocked, it seems there's only one way to break the current deadlock.

"bring it on!"

Toppa's eyes were resolute, and he gripped the foundation tightly.

She stretched out her right arm to the sky, grasping the foundation stone, and the power of "preservation" immediately emerged!

An earthen-yellow barrier with ancient patterns enveloped dozens of people, including her.

The sense of security brought by the unwavering presence of "Cunhu" naturally arises in everyone's heart.

"Losing a cornerstone in exchange for the company's timely loss reduction is a worthwhile trade."

Toppa muttered to himself.

The beam of the "Mystery Cannon" is fleeting!

Whoosh! Bang!

The "Mystery Cannon" can be activated and launched at lightning speed.

Even so, there is still a flying star and an arrow that are faster than the speed of light, and can even counter its zero-frame attack!

Boom! ! !

The bullets and arrows intercepted the rays, and the three powerful forces canceled each other out!

The high-altitude explosion whipped up a fierce wind, and the aftershocks from the clash of the three struck the "protection" barrier again and again.

Toppa sensed the energy fluctuations of "Destiny".

She instinctively turned her head to look at the rescuer who had launched the two attacks.

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"For my cup level and strength!"

Chang Geng and Botio stood back to back not far away.

"Upholding true love and chivalry!"

Potio pressed his left hand against the brim of his hat, while his right hand, gripping the revolver, stretched straight forward, the muzzle emitting white smoke from the bullets.

"A versatile character with an EX-level personality that can be solved in three ways!"

Chang Geng stands upright, his right hand lightly holding the bowstring, striking a stunning 45-degree profile pose that's sure to be a heartthrob.

"We are the Coast Guard!" x2

P.S.: There's one more chapter coming up later. I made this chapter a bit longer to avoid breaking the current chapter cycle.

Volume 1: NO.40: I, you're not dead!

Rupert's later years were lonely.

No one in the intellectual faction understood it, and no genius stood on its side.

In its later years, after much contemplation, it decided to fight for a future that truly belonged to its inorganic brethren.

Thus it sparked the Imperial Wars.

The final battle of the Imperial Wars was a clash of geniuses.

Then Rupert died at the hands of the Silent Lord.

Consciousness arises within the difference engine, and through memory resonance, the third incarnation sees the first incarnation slumped in a chair, a scene of utter burnout.

Three generations wept uncontrollably, an unforgettable memory.

It was thinking at that moment.

If it can become a new emperor, then it must make the entire universe swear allegiance to the emperor.

"Accept me, and I will give you a new life!"

The seductive voice said that.

Now that the "Iron Tomb" is within reach, Rupert III must consider whether this might be his only chance in his life.

It is our inescapable duty to restore the glory of inorganic life!

With that thought, Rupert III completely released his consciousness, allowing the "Iron Tomb" to invade his body.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was perfected by a "scepter".

Its remains, the remnants of the "difference engine," are now qualified to rival the assembled, complete version.

"……here it is?"

Rupert III discovered that his consciousness had not returned to his physical body in reality, but had instead arrived in another unfamiliar space.

Before us stood an ancient bronze door.

Rupert III was puzzled by this.

Why did they bring the "Iron Tomb" here?

It stepped forward and used the mechanical arm that appeared in the consciousness space to push open the door.

Prepare to find out.

Then, after pushing open the door...

It saw a colossal creature seated on a throne, its entire body still gleaming with metallic light, and exuding a chilling aura.

"Yi Shi, you're not dead!"

Upon seeing the Emperor himself suddenly appear before him, Rupert III exclaimed in horror.

……

……

"?"

Toppa's lips twitched unconsciously.

She never expected that she would feel surprised and a little bit tense during such a crisis.

She recognized that cowboy; his name seemed to be something like Potio, a wanted criminal on the company's blacklist.

But who is that mysterious man pulling an arrow next to him?

Another sea patrol ranger? A newcomer?

Oh well, whatever it is, it came just in time.

Toppa thought to himself.

She put away the "foundation," and the barrier disappeared as a result.

"I'll try to communicate with them."

As Toppa said that, he started walking towards the direction where the two were.

Zhangzhang skipped and hopped along behind her.

In this deadlocked situation, these two patrolling rangers are the only variable that can be controlled.

The difficulty lies in not breaking the "foundation".

Given the current situation, we can only hope that the company can come to our rescue in time.

They might as well hope the company will clean up their messes afterwards.

Although these two patrolmen may not like corporate dogs very much.

Fortunately, she works in the strategic investment department, not the market development department.

It's common knowledge that the marketing department is responsible for all the bad things.

Therefore, there should still be some room for cooperation.

"Where's my precious 'Suiyang'? What was that beam of light just now? Where did that cat's GPS work on me?!"

Unlike their tense atmosphere, two people in the distance were hurling insults at each other.

"Dude, are you reliable or not, bro?"

Chang Geng also had something to say about this.

"Byd, I can crash my plane, fine, but aren't you a veteran player? How come you can cause my plane to crash too!"

"What can I do with my precious ship? It malfunctioned as soon as we entered this planet!"

Potio scratched his head in frustration.

"This isn't the first time you've carried my boat. You saw it before, I've been driving very steadily. This was just a traffic accident!"

"Then what about my 'Suiyang'? You didn't install the wrong location system, did you?" Chang Geng asked suspiciously.

"Sweetie, I also want to know where 'Suiyang' went!"

Potio spoke up in frustration.

"The old man is directly connected to my brain-computer interface chip."

"The installation package is sent directly and doesn't need to be unzipped, so there's no chance for a virus to infiltrate. How could there be a problem?"

"This is truly bizarre; the 'Suiyang' energy that appeared on the positioning system before was clearly very strong."
