Chapter 13 Anming's Inhibitor
Liuying gave An Ming an encouraging look, "It's okay."
An Ming held Liuying's soft little hand again, and walked to the sleeping Iron Cavalry with this warmth. It was not until he got close that he felt the strong oppression brought by the Molten Knight for the first time.
It's like an invisible black hole that can chew human bones into powder.
The silver-white cavalry remained silent in the darkness. An Ming took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and gently placed it on the cavalry's head.
"help me."
Someone's voice seemed to be heard from afar. An Ming closed his eyes, and the blazing flames that rose out of nowhere enveloped his whole body, and he disappeared in front of the firefly.
Liuying clenched her fists and stared at the iron cavalry without blinking. She believed that An Ming could do it.
At the same time, in a room somewhere, the screen showed everything that was happening at this moment. Caesar looked at An Ming who had merged into the Iron Cavalry and shook his head with emotion. "If he died like this, it would be a loss to the empire."
The figure of a man slowly emerged from the shadows. He lowered his head and stared at the worn-out Transformer in his hand. "Until now, no one has been able to control that Molten Knight."
"That is the iron cavalry that only humans can control, and only the human heart can break through the shackles of flesh and blood."
"Do you believe him that much?"
Caesar naturally knew of the existence of the iron cavalry. It would be better to say that it was the origin of everything for the Molten Knight.
The man in the shadow was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling the distant gaze he had with An Ming. "Grammer's time is running out. The original Molten Knight is the last hope."
The two of them fell into a long silence at the same time, until the cavalry in the picture changed again.
The moment An Ming touched the iron cavalry, he felt like he was sinking into the deep sea, falling deeper and deeper, while sad voices kept coming from the distant direction.
"help me."
The next moment, it seemed as if it had instantly fallen from the end of the seabed and landed on a wet lawn.
An Ming looked up in astonishment, and what came into his sight was a vast expanse of green that seemed to have no end. Giant insect cocoons were hanging high in the air, connected by transparent silk threads.
Countless threads finally converged at the throne high up. A woman with long silver-gray hair sat there quietly, staring at the non-existent sky like a zombie.
Her eyes were empty and dead, as if there was no emotion in them. She was just silently performing her duties.
"I must be dreaming..." An Ming murmured. The woman on the throne was clearly the Queen of Grammer, Titania, whom he had met several times.
Titania is the core of this network, controlling countless cocoons like a real queen bee.
The sticky transparent silk thread had wrapped around An Ming's wrist at some point, and Titania's empty gaze slowly sank from the sky onto An Ming.
She seemed a little confused, wondering about the different feeling An Ming brought.
An Ming shook off the silk thread on his wrist. If this was what he had to go through to become a Molten Knight pilot, then he would rather not do it.
It seems that this is the beehive that Liuying mentioned to him, where people are transformed from birth to undergo brainwashing like a stamp of thought and become weapons of the empire.
"I...have seen you?"
Titania looked at An Ming in confusion, "Is this a dream or reality?"
This time it was An Ming's turn to be confused. No one had ever told him that driving a cavalry would be so troublesome. "Maybe it was a dream."
“I dreamed of a scorched earth.”
"Will you be the new bud?"
Titania murmured, and the thread that was stretched out to An Ming slowly fell to the ground, "When you see the 'real' me, all your confusion will be answered."
"Go find me in reality, and then—"
"Save me."
An Ming felt a severe dizziness and could only watch Titania moving further and further away from him. An invisible force pushed him from the bottom of the sea to the surface.
An Ming breathed heavily like a drowning man, and the dark vision in front of his eyes suddenly became bright.
"10% fit."
The Iron Knight's lightless pupils suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the silver-white light began to flow throughout his body. Accompanied by a strong roar of airflow, the Molten Knight began to slowly stand up.
Liuying couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes. It only took less than five minutes. You know, even for the first time, it would take at least half an hour to start successfully.
Heat swept through An Ming's body, and it seemed as if life was being infused into the core of his chest with every breath. The iron cavalry began to burst out with endless power, and the gaps between their torsos ignited with a blazing, immortal flame.
"Compatibility 30%. Warning. The upper limit has been reached."
An Ming did not hear the prompt sound in his ears. Everything in front of him was ignited by the blazing flames. A giant hand made of lava stretched out from the endless flames, trying to crush him into powder.
Caesar and the person in the shadow in front of the surveillance screen forgot to speak at the same time. It only took An Ming three seconds to increase the compatibility to the preset upper limit, which was an unprecedented situation.
"Damn it, he's going to go berserk!"
Caesar's face changed instantly. If he continued like this, the upper limit might be exceeded, and the only ones left alive would be monsters devoured by the Molten Knight.
The man in the shadow stopped Caesar and said calmly: "No, I have arranged special inhibitors for him."
"That's good, but why didn't I know there were special inhibitors?"
"and many more..."
Caesar suddenly realized something. Originally, An Ming's first time riding the cavalry was kept absolutely secret, and it was impossible for anyone else to be present at the scene except An Ming.
The picture on the surveillance screen was focused on the petite girl. Facing the raging flames, Liuying did not take a single step back, and there was a resolute determination in her eyes.
Firefly is the inhibitor prepared for An Ming!
The Molten Knight's right fist was ablaze with flames, and he suddenly blasted out with the flaming fist at the only living creature in his sight. The terrifying power was so great that the air waves from the aftermath of the explosion alone squeezed large dents into the surrounding alloy walls.
Liuying is not afraid of death, at least before she met Anming.
But now that I am facing death, I don’t want to die like this.
I want to raise a cute kitten with Anming, and travel together. If possible... I also want to hold Anming in my arms while sleeping in a warm bed.
There are still so many things I haven't done. It would be a pity to die now.
But if she had to die for An Ming, she would be willing to do so.
Liuying showed a gentle smile, stretched out her hands to embrace the Molten Knight whose body was burning with flames, and rushed towards him with a scorching air wave -
All the heat dissipated in an instant, and the same gentle hands hugged Liuying tightly.
"Idiot...won't you just get out of the way?"
"I know An Ming can't bear to hit me, right?" Liuying's eyebrows were slightly curved, and her smile was warm and bright.
An Ming rubbed Liuying's head and said softly, "Yeah, how could I bear to hit you." He slowly picked up Liuying with his armor-covered hands. At this moment, the Molten Knight had completely become an extension of his arms and legs.
"50% fit."
The cold reminder sound rang again, but An Ming and Liu Ying didn't care. There was only the reflection of each other's pupils in their eyes.
