Chapter 2.8
“Can I survive the final battle?”
A rookie similarly, with the same question towards himself . This matter existed for Liu Yu too . In the final battle, there would be no distinction for rookies . All teams would go all-out then . Even if Liu Yu was a rookie, and a small child, he would still need participate, and might be the main combat force in certain areas .
Liu Yu had already enhanced his psyche force and relied on the other members to exchange the Obelisk card . He could summon it for three minutes based on his current psyche force, and he would need to rest for over half an hour after to recover his psyche force . He could only summon it this way . Although it was only three minutes… this Obelisk still surpassed his original expectations . As expected of one of the three Egyptian God cards!
Its full name was Obelisk the Tormentor . A robot made of metal, with a height reaching twenty metres, was summoned . It looked peerlessly tall and mighty . Obelisk also had a special ability, which was that it could absorb defensive barriers . This was perhaps related to the materials that it was constructed from . It could absorb attacker’s defensive barriers, which would allow it to hit its target in the next moment . It could be considered a special characteristic that allowed it to ignore defence . From this, it could be seen that this card and the Obelisk from the real world’s Yugioh had similar characteristics . Both allowed for direct attacks on the opponent, completely ignoring defences .
It was just that Liu Yu had run into a problem . This Obelisk wasn’t like other summon cards that completely listened to its master . When he had first exchanged it, he had happily returned to his room to test it out . In his basement, he had indeed managed to summon out a colossal monster . Obelisk had been almost scraping the ceiling and had covered Liu Yu’s entire field of vision . This little boy was at the age of liking fantasies and robots . Although he had completely consumed his psyche force after summoning, he still cheered weakly . He even ran towards the robot .
However, the robot had instead sent a foot over to step on him . It had stepped down just a few metres from him . With another step, Liu Yu would have turned into a meat paste . The boy had immediately fainted in fright . When the psyche force he contributed vanished, Obelisk had vanished as well . When boy woke up, he had seen a deep footprint embedded on the ground .
It had to be admitted that Obelisk’s power was phenomenal . Whatever it was used for, it would be suitable even to block bullets . However, as Xuan said, something had to be lost to be gained . There was no power in the world that had no cost . Liu Yu was facing such a situation . As one of the three Egyptian God cards, Obelisk’s power needed no doubting . At the same time, apart from the vast amount of energy spent summoning it, it required a constant focus of mental energy concentrated to control it after it was summoned . It would go berserk otherwise . Such a weapon was simply a double-edged sword .
Liu Yu had no choice but to search how to control Obelisk step by step . He would run far away desperately everytime he summoned it . However, the robot would go insane and rampage at its original position every time he started running . Even the ground made from metal couldn't withstand its attacks . Although Liu Yu was safe, Obelisk would madly attack, not listening to his commands . After the ground had been completely ploughed, it vanished again once the time ran out . After this persisted two more times, Liu Yu had no alternative but to look for Xuan .
“If it's a summon monster that needs controlling, how could you focus if you run and hide? Of course, getting you to stand there and take it isn't realistic either . Find Zheng and get him to help you subdue Obelisk, while you try controlling it from the side . Practicing a few times should help you get proficient . ” Xuan answered thus .
Zheng was currently sitting down quietly in his basement . Strangely, he hadn’t gone through any sort of high intensity training in the few days since returning to God’s Realm . He just sat there silently everyday, not a word spoken . It was as if he was in a daze thinking about something . He only stretched lazily as if he had just woken up when Liu Yu came to look for him . He followed along the boy to his room .
“Understood . You want me to ensure your safety while you’re controlling it . No problem . Just stand there and control it well . I’ll keep you safe no matter what . ” Zheng smiled faintly as he nodded . He stood in front of Liu Yu and watched him summon Obelisk .
The little boy’s heart was slightly panicked . It wasn’t to say he didn't have faith in Zheng, or that his strength was insufficient . It was an instinctive terror . It was like if someone capable of destroying planets told you he would block a comet for you, you would still tremble all over in fear as the comet sped towards you . This was the same logic, a terror born from the inside .
Liu Yu gave a cough to mask his fright, and took out the Obelisk card before beginning to gather his concentration . When the colossal robot appeared, it indeed attempted to ferociously step on the two . The giant metal foot descended from the skies, and Liu Yu cried out in fear . Still, Zheng was responsible . He stepped down, leaping into the air . Without visibly taking any stance, he simply kicked at the robot’s foot .
With a boom, the robot was kicked backwards, retreating several steps, before finally stabilising itself after retreating several steps . Zheng landed on the ground, preparing to receive the robot’s next attack .
Liu Yu was watching, engrossed . Zheng hurriedly shouted out, before Liu Yu finally begin to concentrate on controlling the robot . The difference this time was that his heart was much calmer . He was also much more focused than before . Obelisk slowly came to a stop, no longer attacking .
“Alright! Slowly bend over… yes . Then raise your fist… Just like that . Haha, Zheng, the control is successful! I’m finally in control of this robot!” Liu Yu laughed excitedly .
“That’s right . You’ve succeeded . ” Zheng smiled as he patted the boy’s head . “Remember this feeling of control, where your mental energy is highly focused . Don't fear its attacks . It’s YOUR weapon you’ve summoned, so there is absolutely nothing to fear . ”
“Yes!” Liu Yu nodded
Zheng laughed . He stealthily walked towards the basement’s exit . For some unknown reason, he felt slightly flustered upon seeing this robot . He suddenly recalled a former member of team China, who also controlled robots, with great latent potential . Just in terms of that, he wouldn't lose out to Zheng . It was a latent potential purely for living on . . .
“Ah, Gando . If you hadn’t died, you’ll have exchanged the strong series among robots, an Eva, by now, right? Your latent potential was so great, you’ll surely have caught up to me quickly . If so, we could have fought together, then faced the final battle together . What a pity . ”
Zheng sighed dejectedly . Pushing open Liu Yu’s door, he walked out . The joyous laughter of Liu Yu and the tremendous noise from that giant robot walking about sounded out from behind him .
