Reboot: Mechanic

362  Magnetic Field

Mary had a gist of what Shi Tian was planning to do, given that she knew most of the things that he had on him. However, Vanessa was a different case, and she was actually acting merely on belief and not rationality.

Thus, it stunned Mary quite a bit to see the amount of trust Vanessa had in Shi Tian compared to the previous times.

"You trust him that much?" Mary mused. "I thought you always think of Nathan as a weak individual." "He may be weak, but his shrewdness and cunningness can't be underestimated. Hence, it's not that I trust him, but I know he's not the type to do something unless he is confident in it." Vanessa responded. "I see…"

Nodding her head, Mary no longer bothered to converse further and focused her attention on Shi Tian. She wasn't worried that Shi Tian would be incapable of solving the problem.

Why?

His mechanical right arm was literally the best equipment, given that it could cause a sonic boom as well, by changing the form of the gear. And sure enough, Shi Tian did just that as he changed the gear form of his mechanical right arm. Shi Tian's mechanical right arm smoothly transformed, gears shifting and mechanisms adjusting. The soft hum of advanced technology accompanied the change, capturing the attention of those around him. The once intricate tool now took on a different form, its capabilities expanding. The metallic structure of the arm shifted, and a low, resonant sound filled the air.

The transformation wasn't just visual; it was functional. The mechanical right arm, now in its altered state, exuded a powerful aura.

Theobold squinted his eyes slightly when he noticed the uniqueness of his mechanical right arm. 'That right arm is not simple.' Theobold had seen quite a lot of mechanisms and equipment throughout his life, but never once had he encountered something like Shi Tian's mechanical right arm.

Shifting gears was common, but the current Shi Tian's mechanical right arm was exuding a powerful sonic boom— something he had never noticed before until now.

As Theobold was staring intensely at his right arm, Mary cautiously glanced at Theobold by the sideline. Since the mechanical right arm was one of Isaac Aaronax's greatest products to date, it had never been revealed to the public. Thus, Mary was cautious of what Theobold would do now that he got a glimpse of it.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was aware of Theobold's intense gaze, but feigned ignorance. He glared at the incoming Gilaso variants that were charging at him. When the mechanical right arm gear shifted, it naturally attracted most of the Gilaso variants' attention, having realized Shi Tian was a dangerous foe that needed to be eliminated. Smirking coldly at these Gilaso variants, "Do you really think I'll be sending myself to death?" With a leap of faith, Shi Tian utilized his boosters' suit to lift himself into the air, and with a thrust, Shi Tian activated the sonic boom.

The sonic boom reverberated through the air, a powerful shock wave emanating from Shi Tian's mechanical right arm. The Gilaso variants charging toward him were caught off guard, disoriented by the sudden burst of sound and energy.

As Shi Tian soared through the air, the altered terrain beneath him quivered from the sonic disturbance. The pollution-infested environment seemed to respond to the disruptive force unleashed by the mechanical right arm.

"As expected, the magnetic field has been rendered useless now with the sonic boom." Shi Tian muttered, gazing beneath him. The Gilaso variants were momentarily stunned and hesitated in their advance. The chaotic sonic boom disrupted their coordination, causing a massive shift in the battlefield. Meanwhile, Theobold was observing the unforeseen power of the mechanical right arm as he widened his eyes in surprise. The unique capabilities of Shi Tian's technology had surpassed his expectations.

'Whoever created that mechanism must not be underestimated.' Theobold thought to himself, realizing the powerful impact of Shi Tian's mechanical right arm.

"What are you people waiting for? Start countering the Gilaso variants!" Mary shouted furiously when Theobold's soldiers all stood in a daze, seemingly astonished by Shi Tian's powerful move.

Her one shout brought the soldiers back to reality as they quickly unleashed another barrage of attacks.

And this time, the supporting soldiers were finally able to maximize the prowess of the Railgun Blaster.

Without any magnetic field disturbance, the effectiveness of the Railgun Blasters was crystal clear. The uranium material ammunition penetrated through the Gilaso variants' tough skins as if they were fucking tofu. "Hell yeah, eat my ammunition!" The supporting soldiers all shouted excitedly, clearly cheering that they were finally able to do something to them. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shi Tian twitched his mouth when he could hear them shouting so enthusiastically. 'Are they born a fighting maniac?' Shi Tian pondered silently. What was there to be excited about finally killing a few Gilaso variants? Not even he would get excited when killing some monsters, at least not overreacting like them.

Retreating from the battlefield, and letting these soldiers take over now that the magnetic field was disrupted by his sonic boom, Shi Tian swiftly returned to Mary and Vanessa's side. "What did I say, Commander Theobold. Problem solved." Shi Tian clasped his hands and said proudly to Theobold. Others might not know what Shi Tian meant, but Theobold understood the meaning completely.

Shi Tian wasn't proud of solving the problem but was proud of being able to slap him across the face indirectly. After all, Shi Tian was able to figure out the problem and solve it within the 10-minute mark whereas he was helpless and even tried to request Vanessa, who belonged to the Chronosworth City for help.

And if one thinks deeper about it, then it meant that Theobold was incapable and needed outside help to suppress the monster wave despite the other commanders completing the task with such ease. In other words, Shi Tian was challenging and insulting his ability as a commander. 'What a venomous tongue you got…' Theobold cursed silently, keeping a magnanimous smile on his face.
