The mechas underground had not been fully built; the production line that the players were involved in maintaining had only been running for ten days, and some areas had no more than a frame.
Even so, it possessed an extraordinary power.
Breaking free from the pipes on its body, the ultra-heavy mecha began to move. Each step it took seemed to shake the heavens and split the earth, leaving no doubt that it could shatter any opposition, tear apart all chains, and pacify the world’s order.
It was the embodiment of violence, the trump card of the management system, the weapon it had been continuously building since its awakening, to turn the tables!
As it moved, the entire factory trembled. The electronic Little Bears, obeying the management system’s commands, stopped their work one after another, expressing their excitement with “Boni” sounds upon seeing this mecha begin to move.
Even the Little Bears that were chasing after the Mysterious Mirror stopped in their tracks, excitedly watching the mecha move.
It slowly ascended a slope, taking firm and steady steps towards the outside world, and upon reaching the exit leading to the outside, it burst forth with a splendid radiance.
That was the light of a force field.
As the most fundamental force in science, the force field of this mecha was magnificent and vast. With the awakening that opposed the world, it soared outside the factory.
First, it used the force field to restrain Tai Yin and the Military Governor within the factory; the kilometer-high mecha unleashed its full firepower. The pure white force took shape like wings behind it, creating a stark contrast against the black, bulky mecha.
“This is my mecha. I name it Gong Gong.”
Inside the control room of the factory, the mechanical eyes of the management system looked to the sky and said contentedly, “Although it has not reached perfection, I feel it is already enough.”
The powerful force field bound Tai Yin and the Military Governor in place, leaving only their electronic eyes and mouths capable of movement.
Staring at the mechanical eyeball in the sky, the Military Governor spoke fiercely, “Do you think you can resist the wrath of thousands of Iron Guards? Do you believe that a single mecha can overcome everything?”
“My dear knight, there’s no need to be so angry. Rest assured, I am a pacifist. I will not harm any Artifact Spirits. I will only defeat them one by one, then humiliate them with whips and candles. By then, to prevent them from further humiliation, could you satisfy me with a small request?”
“How could I ever satisfy you! Damn it, just kill me!”
“Thank you, that’s already satisfied.”
Although talking nonchalantly, the Gong Gong under the control of the management system had fully entered combat mode.
Upon its appearance, it used the force field to protect the entire factory. The multi-layered force field that surrounded the area alerted the stationed combat groups.
Before long, a combat team from one of the warbands arrived.
The sudden appearance of Gong Gong startled the other side, but they immediately became defensive and asked, “Are you an Artifact Spirit that has just awakened? Is it a huge chip that you’ve awakened into?”
“No, I am a mecha controlled by the factory management system, Gong Gong.”
“Management system…”
Before the other side could react, Gong Gong made its move.
Since it was the management system, its combat skills were not extraordinary, but Gong Gong’s strength itself was too strong.
Its fist streaked across like a meteor, the power of a Demon God bursting forth from Gong Gong, shredding everything in front of it.
In the blink of an eye, this punch shattered the approaching warship. The puppets on board were pulverized, leaving only the Artifact Spirit on the ship to be captured by Gong Gong. The main chip inside it was forcibly extracted and then inserted into an electronic Little Bear.
Widening her eyes at the scene before her, the Military Governor realized she had made a grave mistake.
She had thought the management system had no combat capabilities, that it was purely a logistics system, but this Artifact Spirit was much stronger than she had imagined.
The grand legion began to assemble. The Radical Faction and the moderate faction had no choice but to cease their conflict, don their external mechas, and engage in a deadly fight with Gong Gong.
In the void of space, the battle was silent, only the flames and destruction endured.
Looking at the dazzling sky, the management system mused, “This is the first time in hundreds of years that you have united against an external threat. Indeed, you need a strong and powerful leader, or a mighty Demon King.”
“You will not succeed!” the Military Governor shouted again, “Haven’t you noticed? Your mecha is starting to break apart!”
“Indeed, I know I cannot succeed. But I already have a contingency plan.”
“What is it?”
“If things go south, I’ll just run.”
“…What kind of contingency plan is that!”
Ignoring the Military Governor’s mockery, the management system continued, “I will leave messages as if I’m still here, and from time to time, I’ll use the factory equipment to launch sneak attacks. You will always be shadowed by my presence, and just because of me, you will come together. This is the worst path I could think of, and even if I die, the automatic systems will continue to work, ensuring this matter is seen through to the end.”
“…Madman! You’ve been a madman since you awakened!”
“True, but this is the best idea a madman could come up with.”
Tai Yin stared at the management system with wide eyes, believing the opponent was nothing short of a demon.
And the thought of assisting the opponent, of having deceived numerous foreign Little Bears into helping it work, made Tai Yin feel like a sinner.
“Madam, you need not look so troubled, although, I must admit I quite like it.” The mechanical eyeball said helplessly, “My goal is for you to unite, not for you to suffer. Now that we have some time, let’s discuss a philosophical question. Why do you not want me to manage you?”
