Chapter 51 – Mechanical Heart, Marta
Chapter 51 – Mechanical Heart, Marta
Mechanical Kingdom.
Hua Jun slowly opened his eyes. He found himself in a sealed chamber, surrounded by impenetrable walls. As soon as he awoke, he heard Mond's voice.
"Professor Hua Jun, I apologize for bringing you here in such a rough manner." Mond bowed to Hua Jun.
Hua Jun closed his eyes, his face ashen, completely ignoring Mond.
This wasn't an invitation; it was a kidnapping!
"Give it up. Even if it means death, I will never betray humanity to join your Mechanical Kingdom!" Hua Jun cursed angrily.
"Professor Hua Jun, please don't be so quick to refuse. Take a look at this." Mond displayed a confident smile, his tone calm, as if he wasn't worried at all.
As soon as Mond finished speaking, the wall in front of Hua Jun transformed into a massive transparent glass.
A terrifying behemoth suddenly appeared before Hua Jun's eyes.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Upon closer inspection, Hua Jun realized that the behemoth was actually an enormous heart!
A vast ocean-like life force emanated from the heart, and Hua Jun even felt as if his lifespan had been extended by several years, with his white hair turning black again.
The muffled sound he heard was the beating of this heart.
Hua Jun was terrified. This defied all logic. How could a heart start beating on its own without any external force?
Moreover, the life force it emitted was stronger than that of a living person, which was unscientific!

With each beat of the heart, bright red liquid gushed from the arteries, and with each throb, Hua Jun felt an intense pain in his own heart.
With sharp eyes, Hua Jun quickly noticed many mechanical gear marks around the heart.
This was clearly a mechanical heart with immense vitality!
"Professor Hua Jun, as you can see, this machine is undergoing biological transformation, or you could say biology is being engineered," Mond explained.
"This heart, with biological functions, combines human spirituality and mechanical strength. Calling it a robot is no longer appropriate."
A hint of fanaticism appeared in Mond's eyes.
"I prefer to call it BT!"
"Flesh is weak, but machines are eternal. Professor Hua Jun, join the glorious evolution!"
Mond tore open his robe, revealing a modified body similar to Blitz's.
He raised his hands high, a look of obsession on his face, like a devout believer.
"Hmph! As a human, you willingly join the ranks of machines, becoming a lackey for robots. Calling you a traitor to humanity is an understatement!" Hua Jun scoffed at Mond's words.
"What did you say?" Mond's face turned cold, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Clearly, the term "traitor" deeply stung him.
Professor Hua Jun remained silent, raising his head defiantly, as if ready to face the scorn of the world.
"Then, Professor Hua Jun, take a look at this!" Mond sneered, pressing a button.
The chamber shook slowly, and five stripped humans were brought next to the massive heart.
Among them were both men and women, all with faces full of confusion and fear.
Sensing the life force, the heart immediately extended dozens of thick tentacles, spiraling towards the five humans.
"Ah! Help! Save me!"
"Help me! What is this monster! Help!"
The humans cried out for help, but the tentacles quickly silenced them, pulling all five into the heart.
Immediately, a chilling chewing sound echoed, as if the heart was a hellish demon devouring life, swallowing the five lives in an instant.
"Beasts! Monsters! You're nothing but beasts!" Hua Jun's eyes turned red with anger, his entire body trembling.
"Professor Hua Jun, your anger won't solve anything."
Mond turned his head to look at the heart.
"It's called Tamarta. It's actually a failure. Our initial intention was to enable robots to grow organically, but as you can see."
"We accidentally created a life-devouring monster, and its appetite is growing. From initially consuming one person to now five, even I don't know its limit."
Mond sneered at Hua Jun, revealing his purpose.
"I brought you here to solve the Tamarta problem."
"Of course, Professor Hua Jun, you can choose to ignore it, but the price will be fresh humans dying in Tamarta's maw every day."
Hua Jun's face was full of conflict. The kind-hearted old professor couldn't bear to see his compatriots die, but helping the Mechanical Kingdom...
"Urgent report! Urgent report! Colonel Mond, humans are attacking the northern Tiger Ben Mechanical Legion!"
A small reconnaissance drone interrupted Mond, bringing him bad news.
"Humans? Attacking the Tiger Ben Mechanical Legion? How many are there?" Mond asked with a frown.
"Four."
"Four people? Attacking the Tiger Ben Mechanical Legion? How is that possible!"
Mond's face showed disbelief.
At this moment, in the north, guarded by the Tiger Ben Mechanical Legion, four humans were indeed slaughtering robots.
"Yellow Spring Swamp!"
A chubby man wielding a pink butterfly staff, clad in a Hello Kitty pink robe, waved his hand, turning the ground beneath the robots into a muddy swamp.
The robots, entirely made of metal, were immediately trapped in the swamp, unable to extricate themselves.
"Earth Dragon Bomb!"
A giant five-clawed dragon made of earth appeared beneath the chubby man's feet. The dragon opened its mouth wide, spewing a dragon breath made of earth forward.
All the robots trapped in the swamp were instantly slaughtered, leaving only mechanical parts and oil scattered on the ground.
"How about that, am I awesome or what!" The chubby man, full of pride, awaited his companions' praise.
A petite, flat-chested figure carrying a massive shield had a strange expression on her face.
"Yang Xiangdi... impressive, but do you really have to go with this pink outfit? It looks... so gay."
"Exactly! Yang Xiangdi, what's with this weird taste? Even Zuo You and I, two girls, aren't as pink as you!" Zhao Ziyue rarely agreed with Zuo You on this matter.
"Yang Xiangdi, why are you even a mage? You should switch to being a magical girl warrior!"
Not far away, Ma Fei, after slicing a robot in half with a single sword, also joined in the teasing.
There was no helping it; Yang Xiangdi's outfit, combined with his protruding belly, was truly an eyesore.
"Hmph! What do you know? See this pink staff? Grade E equipment! See the robe I'm wearing? Grade D equipment! The 36D kind! I think you're just jealous!"
Yang Xiangdi, far from being ashamed, proudly flaunted his pink equipment.
"It's just 36D, right? As if no one else has it! I'm 36E!"
Zhao Ziyue proudly puffed out her chest, and Ma Fei, distracted by the sight, almost got injured by a robot.
Zuo You: "..."
She vaguely felt a psychological trauma setting in.
Yang Xiangdi squinted slightly, looking up at the sky with some confusion.
"Look up there, it seems like someone... is riding another person!"
