Rebellious Phase [C168]

"A golem?!" A shocked voice resounded, expressing the feelings of everyone.

Uncaring of their shock, the golem slowly moved his right arm forward, attempting to grab the huge orc with a single hand. Its movement appeared extremely slow, however, before they could realize the hand was just a couple meters from them.

"Damn… teleportation!"

Even without the command of the panicked voice, everyone was already focused on teleporting away, and in less than a moment, the huge orc that was almost grabbed by the golem, reappeared over 300 meters far from the latter.

Being in a dream, as long as they had enough control they could potentially do anything, so teleporting away was but a basic thing.

"Throw a fireball, quickly!"

Coordinating together, they formed a fireball with a size of over ten meters in diameter. Its strength was easily able to destroy a whole city into nothingness, so they were confident on it.

An instant later, the fireball quickly accelerated, flying toward the golem.

As if the golem did not notice the fireball, it stood unmoving, staring toward the huge orc.

*Boom!*

The fireball crashed on the golem's belly and exploded, enveloping the whole golem in a fire possessing a temperature of thousands of degree Celsius. The golem did not move, as if it did not feel the heat from the fireball.

While the golem's expression did not change at all, the members of the Winged Freaks believed to see a smug smile on its face. Raising its right arm, the golem aimed it at the sky.

When everyone was puzzled over his behavior, they all saw it making a grabbing motion with its hand, and afterward, slamming its fist on the ground, generating an earthquake.

*Boom!*

"What is it doing? Did it go crazy?" A voice asked.

"No… look toward the sky…" Another voice replied, with a tone of disbelief.

"The sky?"

Their shock was so prominent that even the huge orc widened its eyes, staring at the sky as if the end of the world was coming.

From the sky, an enormous red sphere was falling. The sphere was covered in flames, and usually, that was the sphere which illumined the world.

Normally it should have been a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye… but in this case… it was a fireball for the sun!

Glancing at the sun that was falling, the golem simply awaited that it reached the ground. Being a self-aware weapon it had its own intellect, it was annoyed to fight such weaklings, so it only wanted to enjoy the spectacle.

Knowing that it was outside of their possibilities to resist or block the sun, the members of the Winged Freaks had to escape. With the speed the sun was falling, it would reach the ground in less than thirty seconds.

"If we surpass the red line we will cross from our dream to the one of our opponent… once we are there the sun can't hit us!"

Without hesitation, they commanded the huge orc to run toward the red line and to not stop for any reason. The golem simply stared at the running huge orc, without bothering to stop it, as if a show was about to start.

Such behavior from the golem made them feel as if they were merely an ant in front of it.

Until now, they believed that the golem was directly controlled by their opponent, but the moment they passed through the red line, was also the moment where hopelessness began to invade their hearts.

In their sight, many enormous spherical structures appeared. The spherical structures were almost completely colored black, with only blue magic circle standing out. Bound to each other, the structures formed a wall high hundreds of meters.

In the sky, three metal eastern dragons were flying, not even bothering to glance at the huge orc. On top of the walls, hundreds of humans were looking at the huge orc, all armed with a full body hit-absorption suit and in their hands a weird weapon, that seemed a mix between a pistol and a bazooka.

Shocked by the scene unfolding right before their eyes, the members of the Winged Freaks could only watch petrified as a massive hand appeared right above the huge orc. It grabbed the creature like a can, leaving it unable to even struggle, before dragging it all the way back to the other part of the red line.

Before it could even scream in pain and fear, the huge orc was thrown into the sky, flying towards the befalling sun. The moment before losing consciousness, they saw the golem waving its hand toward them.

In the imperial palace of the Orexis Kingdom.

Seated on the throne, Shu Himo raised his eyebrows upon seeing that the servant already came back. "Are they annihilated?"

Kneeling down, the servant immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! However… it was a single monster."

"I see… how many stars did it get?"

"Well… actually…" The servant hesitated for a moment, but he then mustered courage and said, "The DOOM self-aware weapon said to relay a message: 'The enemy was so weak that it was a bother counting the stars'."

Covering the face with a hand to not show his expression, Shu Himo's lips twitched, 'Is the DOOM self-aware weapon already in its rebellious phase?'

Shaking his head, he looked toward the servant, "I will now return... as usual, manage the kingdom in my absence."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"
