Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 220 - Knowledge Is Power

Chapter 220: Knowledge Is Power

The ground kept shaking, and the road suddenly shattered. Sparks flew everywhere, and a silver-white hand extended from the broken road. Soon, an extremely terrifying aura spread out of the broken road.

Without a doubt, it was a Legendary-level aura!

The old bronze robot’s expression changed drastically. It then said, “It’s Zero! It’s the origin of robots. It’s the beginning and end of everything. The first time it appeared, it created the world. The second time it appeared, it destroyed the world. This cycle goes on and on!”

Wei Huo frowned. He saw the silver robot crawl out of the ground. Its body was made of Mithril, and there were all sorts of runes carved on it. A unique aura was flowing around its body.

Wei Huo and the golden armor’s expression changed drastically. They then blurted out, “A Rule remnant artifact!”

Single-use pieces of Rule equipment were also known as Rule remnant artifacts. Although it could only be used a limited number of times, it was extremely powerful. It was comparable to Rule equipment. Once it was used, it was akin to entering the Rule rank.

Zero emerged from the ground. His body was silver-white and did not have a single crack. There were runes all over it. His body was slender, and he had two arms and two legs. From afar, he looked like a white matchstick man.

Zero slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were blue and they were flickering with electric sparks. A special magnetic force was flowing on his body.

Zero stood up, revealing that he was about 50 meters tall. He looked around and saw countless ordinary robots. Then, he said, “The cycle of life and death is endless. Time is up. The cycle of life and death has been reversed!”

After saying that, he lifted a hand.

Wei Huo felt that something was wrong and shouted, “Retreat!”

Wei Huo and the others retreated by 100 meters. The bronze old robot kept retreating as well. Standing 100 meters away, the silver-white Zero suddenly said calmly, “Lightning.”

As soon as Zero finished his sentence, an electric current several meters in diameter shot out of the energy tower in the distance. The electric current hit Zero’s body, and several thick electric snakes coiled around his body.

Then, Zero said slowly, “Come, electricity.”

A second after he said that, the broken pieces of iron on the ground instantly stuck to Zero’s body. However, that was not enough. Zero added, “Electromagnetic induction.”

Boom!

With a loud bang, the surrounding buildings collapsed and the ground started bulging. Countless ordinary robots were immediately attracted by the strong magnetic force and fused with Zero’s body.

Wei Huo frowned and said, “That’s at least a mid-stage Legendary creature.”

For the first time, Zero took a step forward. Lightning surrounded his body, and a strong magnetic force kept pulling the surrounding machinery over. Countless ordinary robots were sucked by his body and started automatically a.s.sembling.

Moments later, his wrists turned into two huge pitch-black gun barrels. He then aimed the two gun barrels at Wei Huo and the golden armor.

The bronze robot’s face was ashen as it said, “Zero’s scientific knowledge is very rich. He taught all the basic science from Number A1 to Number Z1. He would be fine if he appeared in the empty wilderness, but he’s like a fish in water now that he has appeared here!”

Wei Huo raised his brows, ready to stop Zero from using his magnetic force to attract more machinery. However, at that moment, the system, which had not sent any messages for a long time, sent a message.

“Hidden Job: Battle Scientist”

“If you defeat this creature, you can switch to a Battle Scientist.”

“Battle Scientist, level cap increased to 200.”

Wei Huo: “…”

He had been stuck at Level 100 for a long time and had not found a chance to change his occupation. He had not expected a turn of events to occur. He could change his occupation after defeating the enemy.

However, the Battle Scientist’s occupation sounded really weird. He had heard that a long time ago, there had been a Battle Mage and a Battle Saint Buddha occupation. Now, a Battle Scientist had appeared. Occupations were really progressing with the times.

Boom! Zero’s two gun barrels had already fired pitch-black artillery sh.e.l.ls. He immediately aimed at Wei Huo and the golden armor. He thought that Wei Huo and the golden armor were the biggest threat.

Wei Huo charged forward and cut the missile in half. The golden armor activated its domain when it saw the missile coming toward him. The missile turned around and shot in another direction. It exploded after flying for a long distance.

At that moment, Zero suddenly shouted, “Rule: Gravity!”

Wei Huo’s expression changed. He felt an extremely strong gravitational force. It was as if Zero had turned into a real Earth core. The strong gravitational force attracted everything around him.

Wei Huo could not control his body. He could fly in the sky because he controlled the air and had obtained a buoyant force. He was like a fish swimming in water. However, no matter how he controlled the air, he could not overcome the strong gravitational force. The air was attracted to him.

Wei Huo and the others were attracted. Zero suddenly shouted, “Rule: Freefall!”

A moment later, all the objects fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, creating countless pits.

Wei Huo clenched his teeth. The rules were too strong for him to resist.

Wei Huo and the robot could leave first, as they had legs, but they could not fly. The rule of free fall restricted everything. It was a rule that prohibited flying.

The golden armor had no legs. It could not even get up after falling to the ground. It could only fly. Once the rules prohibited flight, it was difficult for it to move an inch.

“He hates me for having no legs!” It sighed.

Moments later, an ordinary robot ran over. It was the robot Wei Huo had made for himself to hide amongst the robots. He controlled the robot and made it put on the golden armor before running away.

However, Zero was staring at it. A cannonball came flying over. It had thought that the bomb would explode and had planned to use its domain to defend itself. Unexpectedly, Zero suddenly shouted, “Rule: Gravity Collapse!”

Everyone’s expression changed. They felt that a small black hole had appeared in their bodies. The small black hole produced a huge gravitational force as if it wanted to absorb their entire bodies and turn them into small black holes.

Although the Legendary-level beings felt the black hole, they could still resist it. However, the ordinary robots started twisting and shrinking. In the end, all the ordinary robots around them shrank and collapsed into a metal ball the size of a pea.

The bomb in the distance contracted and collapsed at the same time. In an instant, it turned into a mini black hole. All the materials were sucked into the black hole. The mini iron b.a.l.l.s were all sucked in. The suction force of the mini black hole was stronger than before with every additional iron ball sucked in.

Wei Huo shouted, “Destroy that miniature black hole quickly! Otherwise, the higher the quality of the black hole, the stronger the suction force will be. In the end, it will become a real black hole!”

The golden armor cursed. “This scientist is crazy. He can turn knowledge into power. If I survive this time, I must become a powerful scientist!”

It had already jumped up, planning to destroy the mini black hole. However, the Freefall Rule was still effective. They could not fly at all. The mini black hole was too high up. They could not reach it if they could not fly!

Everyone who had survived was shocked. This was a dead end!
