"What the... Barleyâs dad?"
Crackâ
Amid Lilleâs cheers, Vâs voice brought him back to his senses. He raised his hand to push away the rocks pressing down on him, then grabbed a stone nearby to pull the dumbfounded V out of the rubble.
The strange time-space effects still acted on the Moonâs surface, where sound, gravity, and other physical indicators existed in a peculiar way.
Looking at the colossal Optimus Prime, V was stunned:
She wanted an answer but first fought a terrifyingly powerful Minotaur, then a strong Iron Rider rushed out, and finally...
The final thing that emerged was a giant robot, just like Barley!
And all this, this thrilling battle, was happening in a magical space in the universe!
V turned her head, staring at Lille for a few seconds before suddenly laughing:
"Wow, impressive!"
Lille amusingly patted the dust off V and looked towards Cooper, who also crawled out from the stones, and Optimus Prime, who was stepping on Dalioâ
The massive Cybertron Particle Cannon was aimed at Dalioâs battered upper body, and the barrel was almost as big as he was...
This shot would certainly pierce Dalioâs defenses, and judging by his current state, he was already at a dead end:
His bodyâs healing ability was almost gone, his swollen muscles were shrinking, deflating quickly like punctured balloons.
"No... damn thief, robber, you stole everything from me, we were supposed to... supposed to..."
Dalioâs strength didnât dissipate in an instant, just like his endless desires, all unfulfilled wishes turned into rage. Unfortunately, without the support of power, anger was just impotent fury.
Feeling the great force from below, though it was dissipating, Optimus Prime was still surprised:
"Is this really a biological lifeform? No biological material I know of matches this strength, and his structure... Minotaur, this seems like a creature only in human legends.
Your world is quite extraordinary."
As Optimus Prime spoke, he glanced around: That is not your typical extraordinary.
The power of this explosion was so immense, it shattered a lunar surface area wider than a cityâs breadth, at least fifty meters deep...
Yet Lille and his otherworldly companions were still alive!
Even Optimus Prime didnât think he could survive such a terrifying explosion.
"Let him go."
Lille said as he walked towards Dalio.
The next moment, Dalio bounced up, his massive fist smashing towards Lille!
Bam!
The impact caused a violent shockwave, giving shape to the dust!
But it couldnât shake Lilleâ
Lilleâs body was brimming with energy, the surging force could no longer be contained in the pipelines, and a dangerous blue shimmered on the surface.
This punch was also Dalioâs final punch thrown as a Minotaur.
"You lost, Dalio Agger."
Hearing this, Dalio was momentarily dazed, losing all his strength and collapsing.
"This... impossible... I am the last heir of the Agger family, I am the helmsman of the Rocksen Group, I am... I am the wealthiest and most powerful person in the world!"
"Your wealth is worthless." Lille shook his head.
"Youâre just a lucky thiefâ" Dalio, hysterical, looked at V, Cooper, and Optimus Prime, seemingly looking at the world Lille had created, those technologies, the power. He ranted in rage and accusation, "He stole my opportunity!
You were supposed to work for me, supposed to plunder the infinite future with me, stop, heâs just a thief, he stole everything from me!
You should be with me, should be with me! It was my discovery that allowed you to come here!
I am the industrious one, he is just a thief!"
Optimus Prime was the first to come around: he was a very cautious leader and did not like to step into conflicts of other worlds, as it was difficult for outsiders to determine right and wrong.
But Dalioâs attitude... itâs hard to say heâs a good person who shares the same ideals with him.
Cooper was even more triggered by keywords: plunder? Company? Wealth? This Minotaur not only looked evil but spoke such evil things?
As for V, Vâs understanding was simple, what "work," "plundering the future," "thief"... she couldnât understand a word of it.
Didnât know what this mad bull was saying, anyway, it didnât sound like a good person...
Even if he was a good person, it wouldnât matter.
If the previous battle left everyone a bit confused about suddenly joining the fight, now that was gone.
Feeling the change in atmosphere, Dalio grew increasingly uneasy: it was like saying he had lost not only power, wealth, war, and this final battle, but something more inexplicable.
He believed that desires and interests drove everything, thinking that as long as he learned to control these things, he could rise again at any time, launching a counterattack from the brink, for nobody could defeat human nature!
But at this moment, Lille completely denied him, along with his so-called "human natureâs weaknesses."
Yet, he continued: "Listen, this technology was invented by our company, as for this kid, he merely stumbled upon our companyâs results!
The representative of this world is me! Itâs our company! We are the ones entitled to represent Earth in developing resources from other dimensions!
I am very good at making money, and I have lots and lots of it, besides..."
Dalioâs tone and confidence waned rapidly, just like his increasingly deflated body and dissipating vitality, seeing him like this, Lille shook his head:
"Clown, what a clownâdid you say I stole it? It wasnât me who stole it; you almost ruined my life, and youâve already ruined many lives and even nearly this world."
Lille knew he didnât need to explain anything to his companions anymore, as Dalioâs nature had sold him out lightlyâ
Or rather, from the beginning Lille had neither any deceitful nor overtly flashy actions, consistently attracting genuine friends, companions, and comrades!
No one here was someone who would stop at nothing for so-called wealth, interests, and power.
Dalio Agger, CEO of the Rocksen Group, the worldâs biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator, someone who would stop at nothing for power and wealth, was their enemy right from the startâ
Had Rocksen Group first developed in the otherworld, Dalio would have cooperated only with IMC, Decepticons, and companies with similar tastes to his own.
"Let me tell you, itâs not interests or desire that brought us together, but from the beginning, weâve been on the same path, this technology just allows us to mutually aid each other and prosper togetherâ"
Lilleâs tone turned chilly, "Didnât expect an unknown nobody affected by you would spark this fire, burning your âEmpireâ to ashes, did you? Now..."
Swishâ
The Kingâs Blade swung out from Lilleâs arm.
"I will make the final judgment: I am the King leading all rebels, the judge sentencing your crimes, the warrior destroying your empire, and also the executioner of your lifeâ
Dalio Agger, death penalty, immediate execution."
Without giving Dalio more time, a tearing sound was heard, and dark blue blood splashed on the Moonâs surface.
As the stars moved, sunlight shone upon the land, and finally even the blood evaporated and disappeared.
It was all over.
