Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam

Chapter 1100 273: Check Your Bench Press Record_2

"So that's how it is!"The Chief Prosecutor was suddenly enlightened, "I was too shallow!"

"Remember." Rowena felt like a kindergarten teacher now, tutoring a clueless little kid, "As soon as you harbor fear against the tribes in battle, you'll never be their match."

Oh my God, she was radiating maternal glory!

She had found the tribe's vulnerabilities, and she believed that the traitors hiding in the Origin Society could also see through the secret of My Power of Thought. That's why this boarding battle must be completed by Zhuang Xiao alone.

After days of torment, the Chief Prosecutor finally felt a glimmer of hope; he could truly see the dawn of victory.

Even without the Lord of the Holy City, without the omens He bestowed, armed with the wisdom of the Third Seat Lady and the tribes' mysterious My Power of Thought, they could still win this war!

While the two were in conversation, an atmosphere of despair was spreading in the command cabin.

Every rebel had heard of the invader's terror; she could shatter Dreadnought Mecha with just a stick, and the safe door couldn't stop her.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

The Second Seat heard the deafening alarms in the command room, he arrived at the Commander's cabin and witnessed this fascinating scene through the surveillance.

"The First Special District's air defense system has never been updated, and temporary defense fields can't withstand orbital bombardment at all."

He asked the Commander to recount the speech he heard from the holograph, "And the scientific theories you just repeated are complete nonsense, utterly senseless!"

"But... they did survive the orbital bombardment."

The Commander was completely baffled, and he thought, compared to the First Special District not being destroyed, they had a more urgent crisis to address—if they didn't figure out a way to stop the invader, all their grand plans would be destroyed by a dame and a stick!

He would not accept such absurd failure!

Just like the Second Seat said, everything happening right now made no sense at all!

It was like an illogical demon using unfathomable means to crush everyone's ambitions.

"That's the most wonderful part, isn't it?"

The Second Seat's lips slightly curled up; he wasn't anxious at all, "It's senseless, yet Rowena still did it. Even knowing she was spouting nonsense, she bound her fate to the First Special District, which could be destroyed at any moment."

This meant that Rowena understood the principles of this mysterious power.

Therefore, everything she demonstrated in that speech was real and credible.

"The truth doesn't matter; what matters is whether those people believe her."

The Second Seat concluded, "As long as they believe Rowena's theory, the defense field can indeed withstand the orbital bombardment."

"This isn't right, it's not fair!"

The Commander slammed the table heavily; he couldn't imagine anything more ridiculous, "According to you, doesn't that make them invincible?"

"It seems like it."

The Second Seat mocked with a glance at the hologram, "It looks like your proud Holy City Navy is about to be defeated by a girl with a stick."

"If we are defeated, do you think you'll fare any better?"

The Commander lowered his face, carefully inspecting his laser pistol. As the rebel leader, he would await the invader here and settle things with her.

"There's only one reason for your failure."

"What did you say?"

"You don't look badass enough—at least in that girl's eyes."

The Second Seat said, "Get me a set of exoskeleton armor immediately, and find your best graffiti artist among the soldiers to paint the coolest designs on the armor, and all equipped weapons must have matching graffiti!"

This guy's insane!

That was the Commander's first reaction after hearing it, but considering the Second Seat's status and the world indeed seeming to have gone mad, he proceeded immediately.

............

"What a letdown, is there no one on this ship who can give a fight?"

Zhuang Xiao flipped over a soldier clad in exoskeleton armor with her stick, stepping on his chest.

These people look super weak!

You could tell just by their expressions. No matter how thick their armor was, it couldn't hide their fear; real strong ones wouldn't be scared witless when facing an opponent.

"Where's your Commander?"

"Please, don't kill me!"

The soldier was obviously scared witless by this "crazy woman," having never seen such bizarre circumstances in their lives; even the Edge World traitors who betrayed the Lord of the Holy City weren't even a fraction as crazy as Zhuang Xiao.

"I can..." The soldier swallowed hard, "I can take you to meet the Comm—"

The laser rifle's firing interrupted the soldier's words; a red beam shattered his head. Zhuang Xiao raised her head, looking at the source of the sound, only to see a young man leisurely walk into the cabin, wearing an exoskeleton armor with cool graffiti and a laser rifle on his shoulder.

This uninvited guest seemed extremely calm; he hummed a tune, his gaze not pausing for a moment on the shot soldier's face, "You're the invader they mentioned, right?"

Zhuang Xiao stood up, gripping her stick with sweaty palms.

This opponent looked super badass!

The cool graffiti on the exoskeleton armor said it all. More importantly, his composed manner was different from the panic-stricken soldiers; he even dared to approach straight on.

Zhuang Xiao felt immense pressure; this was going to be a bitter fight, "You're the boss here, right?"

The young man exuded an aura stronger than his red eyes.

"Your good luck ends here."

The young man sneered disdainfully, extending an index finger, "One minute, I'll finish you off in one minute."

Oh no...

Zhuang Xiao frowned; this opponent was much stronger than she imagined. Every word he said dripped with confidence, and his body, plus that exoskeleton armor, suggested countless battles fought.

"The Third Seat Lady has a message for the rebel boss."

Zhuang Xiao asked solemnly, "What's your bench press record in kilograms?"

In an instant, the two fell into a prolonged silence.

Such a simple question almost fried the Second Seat's brain; countless answers flashed through his mind. He knew the peak human bench press data, but the question was, would human limits be too low for an invader who could destroy Dreadnought Mecha with a stick?

If he faked a high number, he might get called out instantly.

Ro—we—na!

The Second Seat was seething inside, yet didn't dare show weakness to Zhuang Xiao. He knew too well that showing fear would lead to the same fate as those soldiers.

Confronting Zhuang Xiao alone, he was confident of taking her down, but he never expected Rowena to have a backup plan.

"Ha, do you remember such mundane strength training data?"

The Second Seat feigned composure.

"There's a gym here."

Zhuang Xiao wasn't planning to let him go that easy, "I can test it for you right now."

"Boring."

"What, are you scared?"

The question made the Second Seat's pupils contract. He suspected this conversation was designed by Rowena.

That woman anticipated he would see through the mysterious power's nature and prepared in advance.

"Come, let's go to the gym."

Zhuang Xiao's tone brooked no argument, "Or I'll smash your head!"
