This is a mechanical torrent representing death.
Countless mechanical insects the size of soccer balls, made entirely of gears and emitting a cold and sinister sheen, gathered together and rushed forward like a swarm of devouring ants.
The entire world was filled with a buzzing sound, the noise produced by the gears turning and the wings fluttering.
The sound of a single insect might be faint, but so many coming together formed this deathly whisper that made oneโs scalp tingle.
And this... was the catastrophe that brought fame to the night watchman, Severus: the Mechanical Calamity!
Usually, these insects remained dormant as eggs in the suitcase Severus carried with him.
When needed, Severus would release them to slaughter everything daring to stand in their path.
They left no grass behind, thus earning the name Mechanical Calamity.
But today, these insects behaved differently; each appeared extremely agitated, their compound eyes even showing a faint dark red.
When these dark red eyes gathered, they seemed like a myriad of stars, forming a crimson tide.
This surge reached its peak momentum, carrying overwhelming might directly toward a fat mining boss.
The plump white boss evidently did not anticipate such a scene; he was taken aback at first, then immediately roared furiously.
"Severus, you bastard, how dare you betray me?"
Severus did not respond to these accusations.
At this moment, his expression was extremely peculiar, his face pale, forehead covered in cold sweat, and his eyes filled with terror.
He was horrified to find that these mechanical insects had completely slipped out of his control.
All commands were ineffective, and the insects charged unimpeded toward his boss.
Severus wanted to move his foot but found he had lost control over his body; moving a step or even a finger was beyond reach.
He could only stand there dumbfounded, watching this scene unfold before him.
Severusโs boss had a habit of wanting no disturbance in the room when indulging in pleasures.
So, the bodyguards who never left his side during normal times were absent now.
This also left the white, plump boss filled with regret.
"You damned bastard, Severus, youโre dead! I will tear you apart!" The furious boss roared, crushing a necklace he wore around his neck with great pain.
Boom!
A faint layer of silver light appeared around the fat manโs body, just as the mechanical insects reached him.
The collision produced a dull sound.
But this silver barrier was evidently very sturdy, barely shaking under the impact, then stabilizing.
On the contrary, the mechanical insects at the front, due to collision and pressure from behind, shattered instantly under the massive force, breaking their metallic bodies.
The fat man stood within the barrier, coldly watching the scene.
"Severus, trying to fight me? Youโre too inexperienced! Since I can tame you villains, my abilities are beyond your imagination!"
Declared the fat man proudly.
But just as he finished speaking, the mechanical insects suddenly became agitated, the insect tide surging madly.
Soon after, the mechanical insects let out a painful screech and began to metamorphose.
As the gears rotated, the insectsโ bodies grew larger again, as did their sharp mandibles and serrated limbs.
These deadly weapons rapidly expanded, emitting a terrifying glow.
Severus was stunned, his eyes filled with defeat.
But this upgrade was forced, which meant that once these mechanical insects exhausted all their energy, they would die completely.
