[1] Genius Mechanic

Chapter 179

Underwater Spider Web

Continuously monitoring the situation of teammates, Ke Lin instantly noticed the issue and urgently inquired over the communication channel, "What's happening!?"

YDS Medic was bewildered, "We are being controlled, it seems to be thunder-type control."

Ke Lin quickly responded, "Activate shield defense!"

The YDS Tank attempted to activate the shield, but the entire mecha was paralyzed and couldn't perform precise shield operations. He said, "It's not working, Ke Lin... The control duration is too long; we can't move."

The momentary pause in the movement of the YDS front-line mechas caught the attention of KID, who seemed to have anticipated this opportunity. Sink and Trace, after a swift retreat, seized the main timing point. Sink's energy cannon immediately locked onto the approaching YDS artillery, and at the same time, Trace's sniper cannon rushed out.

As the YDS Medic, under control, failed to deploy a stable sphere, Trace's sniper cannon exploded the compressed storm within the YDS front-line, dispersing their original formation. Lin Yao seized this opportunity and charged directly at the YDS Medic mecha. With a swing of his staff, he manipulated the space to trap the opponent within his domain, "Let's go!"

KID pretended to retreat, but in turn, completely disrupted YDS's formation. This scene was broadcasted live, stunning all viewers, who hadn't fully understood what had happened. The battle within the arena erupted once again at a fast pace.

[??? What's happening!?]

[It seems like YDS's front-line is under control; they are not moving!]

[Medic has been picked off, and YDS's formation is broken.]

"The situation in the arena has changed suddenly. KID is counter attacking; they haven't withdrawn; they are still fighting against YDS." The commentator's gaze fell on the arena. "KID seems to have used a weapon to control the YDS mechas, but currently in the arena... we haven't detected any traces of weapon usage!"

[KID activated weapons!?]

[How is it possible to activate weapons? We didn't see anyone using weapons.]

[This reaction is definitely under control.]

Not only were the spectators in the live broadcast shocked, but others watching the match in mecha bases were also stunned by this bizarre scene. Controlling weapons was not unusual; many teams in the arena usually carried thunder-type control weapons. However, as long as the user of the thunder-type control weapon was identified, precautions could be taken by shielding against their attacks.

"Why isn't YDS activating shields?" Zhang Ge looked at the situation with surprise. "In such a widespread control attack underwater, shields should solve the problem."

Coach Gale frowned, "Something's wrong... YDS seems to be unable to activate shields."

"Unable to activate shields? That's impossible. The control time is at most 3 or 4 seconds, and YDS has two shields."

"Trace's sniper cannon charged for more than 6 seconds just now. During this time, YDS Tank could have activated shields to resist."

"You overlooked a situation," Coach Gale said, "There's another scenario that could prevent them from activating shields—they are under sustained control."

YDS was under some unknown continuous control, and KID did not show any signs of mechas using weapons.

Zhang Ge stopped mid-sentence, "I didn't see KID using weapons... No, there's a strange weapon, Lucy's water flow bomb. She seems never to have fired it, right?"
