Surviving These Unfair Scenarios [LITRPG - DIMENSION HOPPING]

The air tore with the sudden, violent emergence of power that defied the rules of space and physics. After Charles and alter Katya successfully weakened the [Seal of Eternal Submission] through their skills, the colossal body of the Archdevil Malzaphir made its terrifying presence felt, materializing fully onto the battlefield.

His form was that of a nightmarish titan, massive and imposing, with skin of obsidian black and a cruel, monstrous physique covered in sharp, jagged spikes. A plume of raw, angry Devilish Energy, resembling volcanic fire, erupted from his back and head, casting a searing red hue across the sky, and the pressure created in the immediate warzone was so immense it felt as though the very atmosphere had become molten lead.

While the power of Malzaphir was categorized as Rank S+, similar to any deity dwelling in the highest strata of the System's entities, the forced, partial liberation granted him only a small fraction of his true, limitless power.

This fraction, however, was immediately sufficient to lethally disrupt the two remaining armies. All the units of the Automaton Legion began to fail instantaneously, short-circuiting and seizing up due to the mere presence of the Archdevil, who was passively emitting a colossal energy similar to an electromagnetic pulse field simply by existing. But the effect was not limited to the machines; the surviving RedBrood monsters were also sent into a frenzied, suicidal rage, attacking everything nearby, including their own kind, tearing into the flesh of their brethren with maddened claws.

Once fully manifested, standing as large and imposing as the 'Sea Knight' itself, alter Adam, the temporary host, roared, making the Devilish Energy in his monstrous, enlarged jaws spread across the area like an infernal wave.

He immediately lunged forward toward Sebastian's robot, preparing one of his massive, spiked claws to deliver a potent, gigantic punch. The old man had no time to think or analyze the situation. He had only just regained firm control of the robot, and seeing the enormous demonic beast charging toward him with a speed that belied its size, he instinctively tried to cover himself, raising both mechanical arms in an attempt at defense.

However, before the catastrophic impact could occur, the gigantic 'Sea Knight' was violently shoved aside by a fierce, abrupt push, leaving Sebastian momentarily surprised but allowing him to rapidly regain control of the mech. This was a desperate act by Mecha Sung Ja-In to move his creator from the path of destruction, ensuring the smaller robot took the full impact.

Mecha Sung Ja-In concentrated all the Ki he could muster around his body, forming a powerful, internal barrier… However, the shield was instantly insufficient; the claw of the monstrous alter Adam was so gigantic compared to the body of the robot that the impact looked like a person being run over by a colossal ship.

The force was direct, the Ki shield shattered immediately, and Mecha Sung Ja-In received the blow fully… Fortunately, the impact was partially absorbed because the collision occurred while they were airborne, heavily damaging the mech but failing to destroy it completely, and sending it flying like a missile toward the distance, where it violently crashed against a mountain.

The defense had failed, but the interruption bought Sebastian the necessary moment to retaliate. While alter Adam's arm was still extended from the punch, the powerful 'Sea Knight' advanced, moving with a heavy, precise gait. Sebastian propelled the colossal machine into its own retaliatory strike, moving the mech with an impetus driven not only by the finest engineering that the 'Steam and Steel' scenario had to offer but also by hundreds of atomic energy turbines developed by 'Stratos Technology', giving the resulting punch an impulse so massive it was capable of effortlessly splitting a literal mountain in two.

The mechanical punch landed squarely on its target, impacting the center of the monstrous figure's face, causing an immense shockwave that reached the ground and forced alter Katya, who was functionally an ant by comparison, to struggle violently to avoid being swept away by the current of wind. However, despite the utterly devastating power of the attack, the only result was that alter Adam's head merely spun upon impact, the colossal being had not moved an inch from its position.

"Hahahaha!"

Malzaphir's guttural, thundering laughter resonated across the plain, the sound filled with mocking contempt and sheer, overwhelming confidence. The great Archdevil instantly spun on his axis, his tremendous bulk moving with impossible speed, and answered the Sea Knight's blow with his own monstrous punch, directed squarely at the vulnerable control cabin with such force that the wind pressure alone from the blow was a deafening roar that slammed against the surrounding wreckage.

Had the attack struck its target, the damage could only be described as catastrophic, shattering the cockpit and its pilot instantly. Fortunately, Sebastian reacted instantly, activating all the forward thrusters across the 'Sea Knight's front side and legs, harnessing the atomic power to hastily propel the mech backward, managing to evade the punch by mere meters, a distance that was the equivalent of inches for two beings of such colossal scale.

This rapid retreat only served to reset the confrontation, leaving both titans breathing the thick, superheated air. Alter Adam, still embodying the Archdevil, did not wait for Sebastian to reorganize but instantly charged the gigantic robot again, his hatred fueling the acceleration. This time, the old man chose not to defend or evade; he aggressively piloted the mech to meet the charge head-on, deciding that a mutual impact was the only way to test the enemy's true fortitude.

Both titans took a forward step simultaneously, their massive, crushing feet slamming into the ground with such synchronized power that the earth beneath them shrieked and fractured, causing a violent tremor that rippled across the entire warzone. Their two immense arms crossed the empty space between them, and both landed their powerful blows directly.

The 'Sea Knight's punch, a focused delivery of mechanical might and atomic thrusters, struck alter Adam again, hitting the precise center of his face where his host body's vulnerability should lie, hoping to cause internal trauma. The Archdevil's counter-punch impacted the upper armor of the 'Sea Knight'. The resulting shockwaves were devastating, a thunderous explosion of conflicting energies that forced both colossal figures to stagger backward several paces to desperately regain their footing and balance.

However, comparing the damage inflicted on the two warring forces, the Archdevil clearly held the brutal advantage. Alter Adam's infernal body barely presented any structural changes to the face, despite having just been struck twice by a mountain-moving force, while the 'Sea Knight' was violently smoking and throwing sparks where its specialized armor had been pulverized and partially melted by the Archdevil's corrosive Devilish Energy. It was utterly clear that in a prolonged battle of physical endurance, the ultimate victor would inevitably be the monstrous entity.

Far in the desolate distance, the wounded body of Mecha Sung Ja-In lay in a truly deplorable state after crashing violently against the cold face of the distant mountain. His crimson armor was torn open, and essential components of his mechanical structure were visibly destroyed and hanging uselessly, rendering large parts of his formidable frame inoperative.

However, the moment the robot could recover the basic functions of its core system, the innate, driving will that defined its aberrant existence demanded movement. He began trying to stand, the heavy effort causing his mechanical joints to grind and whine in protest against the damage, moving laboriously and stumbling repeatedly before managing to pull his damaged mass upright.

Yet, even facing a cascade of critical system failures, flashing across his internal visor in urgent, unheeded warnings, he did not surrender his prime directive... His singular purpose, rooted deep within the ego he was conferred with, forced him to move, to crawl, to return to the raging battle in aid of his creator. He took another staggering step, every metallic tendon screaming, and in his last, agonizing attempt to maintain balance, one of his main articulated legs finally ceded completely, snapping its primary joint and causing the robot to fall face-first to the ground.

The impact sent a shuddering shock through his already compromised chassis, but even then, despite the overwhelming physical collapse and the certainty of immediate destruction, he tried once more to rise. He forced his damaged body, driven by a loyalty that transcended programming, to push against the limit, fueled by a devotion to return to the conflict in defense of his creator.

Mecha Sung Ja-In was a creation of unique sentiment, as he was the first and only creation of Sebastian that had activated the skill [Ki-Forged Genesis (Aberration)], granting him his own profound ego. Initially, he was little more than a simple AI, and in the previous scenario, only fragments of his consciousness had emerged.

But over time, and especially after the ten years spent in 'Steam and Steel', the robot had gained more clarity, its growth influenced by the semi-divine energy of Lord Varek that served as its power source. It was this influence that dramatically enhanced his use and generation of Ki, an energy that should be impossible for something non-living to produce, but which was possible thanks to the Aberration-type skill that had created him.

Like a child growing up and maintaining a powerful bond with those close to him, Mecha Sung Ja-In had bonded with Sebastian, his creator, whom he had sworn to protect, not just by system programming, but by his own free will. It was because of this bond that it did not matter that his body was utterly destroyed, that he was falling apart; he would find a way to return and aid his "father" even if it cost him his artificial life.

He fell to the ground once more, hitting harder this time, until finally a voice, imperceptible to any non-machine being, spoke to him… Mecha Sung Ja-In remained immobile for a moment, listening intently and responding in a language and manner that only machine spirits could understand. Seven luminous spheres of distinct colors materialized in front of the fallen robot, the Personal Treasure of the deceased Gilgamesh, [Seven Little Stars - Rank S+], an object not created directly by the leader of Team Eden but eternally bound to him.

It could not be discerned what the two objects discussed, but it was clear that the orbs had resonated with the robot's fierce determination to protect its master, a goal the Personal Treasure had previously failed to achieve.

Finally, a desperate pact was forged between them. The [Seven Little Stars] were curious objects: effectively, they were seven miniature stars, which possessed no offensive or defensive power and could not be used directly as weapons. However, they could be used to generate energy equivalent to seven stars. By themselves, they were useless, but combined with another mechanical being that could muster such energy, they could elevate it to a divine power level.

This was the offer the stars had given the robot, but the price was certain: Mecha Sung Ja-In would inevitably be destroyed after a few minutes because his body was not designed to withstand such massive energy input. None of Gilgamesh's remaining creations were designed for such a catastrophic surge.

However, Mecha Sung Ja-In did not hesitate. In a silent, internal dialogue, he accepted the deal… A blindingly powerful, golden light instantly enveloped the location.

Returning to the battle between the two colossal titans, Sebastian's 'Sea Knight' had sustained two more powerful blows, and the resulting damage was accumulating dangerously, while alter Adam's demoniac body appeared virtually unaffected.

In a sudden, colossal escalation, the Archdevil launched a ferocious, ground-shaking leap toward the crimson sky, two enormous, obsidian bat-like wings immediately tearing through his infernal carapace. The monster opened his massive jaws, and a terrifying, endless torrent of pure Devilish Energy projectiles, each the size of a siege engine, instantly emerged from alter Adam's mouth. The projectiles moved with such impossible speed and contained such destructive potency that it became clear that for the gigantic 'Sea Knight', constrained by its own colossal mass, evasion was no longer a feasible option.

Falk, realizing the imminent threat, instantly interceded, utilizing the core atomic generators of the Battlerizer Suit to scream against the void, generating a true Energy Shield, a shimmering, visible wall of powerful electrical and atomic force. The shield was not broad enough to cover the entire towering robot, but it was focused enough to act as a desperate, singular barrier against the incoming, hellish projectiles.

The torrent of energy blasts arrived instantly as a continuous, deafening wave of explosions that detonated with cataclysmic power upon contact with Falk's shield, creating an enormous, roiling curtain of superheated black smoke and debris after each detonation. The immense strain caused the generators within the Battlerizer Suit to shriek in painful protest, forcing Falk to immediately communicate the system warning to the cockpit.

"I can stop the projectiles as long as they are energy!"

He exclaimed through his inner intercom to Sebastian.

"But I can do nothing against other types of attacks, hurry!"

The old man nodded, moving the controls with urgency to execute his next maneuver, but before he could move much, something slammed into Falk's energy shield. Utilizing the cover of the black smoke, alter Adam had descended in a dive toward them, rotating his demoniac body and converting himself into a sphere covered in huge spikes and pure Devilish Energy, turning himself into an infernal meteor of ignited flesh.

Falk tried to maintain the shield with all his power, but the defensive measure was not designed to withstand physical attacks; in a fraction of a second, the energy shield exploded into a thousand pieces, giving alter Adam a clear path to impact both of his targets. Both Falk and Sebastian prepared for the inevitable collision, but before they could brace, a sudden flash of brilliant golden energy appeared just below the Archdevil.

Defying all logic, something had forcefully arrested the descent of Malzaphir's colossal body. When both Falk and Sebastian could finally see clearly through the dissipating smoke and steam, they witnessed the impossible spectacle: Mecha Sung Ja-In was floating there, his body now completely repaired and sheathed in brilliant, living gold, his eyes shining like white searchlights, emanating a powerful, radiant energy that resembled burning plasma. The robot, now possessor of divine-tier strength, was holding the massive, colossal body of the Archdevil aloft with one hand while flying, propelled by an immense golden energy surging from beneath his feet.

Even alter Adam was momentarily confused by the sheer impossibility of the situation. But the precise, robotic voice of Mecha Sung Ja-In instantly resonated across the entire war-torn battlefield, amplified by the immense power coursing through him.

"I'LL CRUSH YOU!"

Mecha Sung Ja-In exclaimed in a deep synthesized roar.

The now golden robot instantly launched the Archdevil violently upward, tossing the immense, muscled bulk of the demon-host body as if it were a mere ball. He then flew around the surroundings at a blinding, impossible speed, striking alter Adam from multiple, unpredictable angles while his massive body was suspended helplessly in the air.

The strikes were not mere punches but hyper-focused bursts of golden Ki, delivered with such force that each impact created an external explosion of light and power, reminiscent of a bursting eruption. Mecha Sung Ja-In hammered the Archdevil repeatedly, utilizing its impossible momentum until one final, annihilating blow sent alter Adam hurtling back toward the earth with the speed of a falling star.

The monstrous figure landed hard on his feet, causing another massive tremor to ripple outwards; however, he did not appear physically damaged, but the sheer, cumulative force of the unprecedented assault had clearly wounded his form, proving the attacks were effective… There was the beginning of the final trail of the fight, with everyone risking it all to be victorious.
