Chapter 1192 -700: The Youngsters_2
Nico Ross began issuing commands at an extremely fast pace, leaving no room for everyone to interrupt.
At this moment, after activating the Absolute Link, he no longer experienced any delay in controlling the Beetle, allowing him to make full use of his abilities and be at his peak state.
However, he didn’t arrogantly think the battle would be easy, because he knew all too well the power of the Anti-gravity Centipede. If they wanted to win, they needed to prepare for every detail to perfection.
While giving commands, Nico Ross replayed in his mind the scenes of the previous team that was annihilated by the centipede. He also analyzed the terrain, gravity field, surface materials, and constantly adjusted his battle plan.
Two things happened that Nico Ross didn’t expect.
First, Edgar tried to activate the Absolute Link but failed. He couldn’t unlock the infinite quantum thinking feature in his brain. This was the first step of the Absolute Link. This feature needed to be enabled first, raising the performance of the ultra-micro robots’ miniature brain to an infinitely high level to support a person’s complete thoughts. The sleeper pod on the other side would only start the human body freeze program after receiving feedback that the feature had been enabled. This was exactly what the referees had mentioned during the arbitration process.
Second, Nico Ross received a large amount of external information, specifically intelligence about other teams’ encounters with the Anti-gravity Centipede. The unfortunate team that the Flying Tiger Team had previously encountered had also confronted a Level 2 unit with a full team of Level 1 Beetles, losing miserably. However, among the 160,000 advanced participating teams, some top-tier teams had started operating melting towers, moved beyond the production tools stage, and began producing real war machines. These teams had defeated the Anti-gravity Centipede with Level 2 Anti-gravity Centipedes or even Level 3 Heavy-load Spiders and even higher-level units days ago, and had conducted extensive mechanical dissection and analysis.
This new intelligence helped Nico Ross greatly in making real-time decisions, and he constantly fine-tuned his strategy.
Although his mental simulations still predicted unfavorable outcomes for his team, their chances of victory had gradually climbed from one in a billion to one percent. This was a qualitative change.
Under normal competition rules, this information was considered the “private wealth” of each team.
Departments responsible for competition supervision would collect it but not publicly disclose it right away.
As participating teams advanced their missions to a certain extent and had specific needs, the information would be gradually released according to the plan. This ensured not only the ongoing improvement of each team’s completion but also maintaining sufficient competitive fairness.
Clearly, Nico Ross’s all-in move had disrupted all the established arrangements in this military-wide competition.
The Empire had instantly adjusted its strategy.
The situation was irreversible. The priority was now to find a way to get the Reincarnation of Sages off the dangerous Glenoid Tribe Star and out of harm’s way.
Directly cutting off the quantum network link between the sleeper pods on No.7 Star and the Glenoid Tribe Star was not an option, as it would completely sever his consciousness from his body, causing real death if not a coma.
Of course, rescuing him was a secondary concern, as it was far from time to consider that issue. The priority now was to save his life first and foremost.
As for competition fairness, to hell with that – nothing was more important than Nico Ross’s life.
The changes didn’t end there. All teams in the activity area near the Flying Tiger Team, regardless of their level and scale, had received direct orders to advance at full speed towards Nico Ross and his team in preparation for a rescue.
This large-scale movement might expose the ongoing Third Front operation and cause a greater crisis. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be helped at this point.
Someone even proposed that all participants should be forcibly commanded to activate the Absolute Link like Nico Ross. This could further increase the strength of Nico Ross’s teammates and the chances of success for other teams’ rescue efforts.
However, the proposal was rejected.
It wasn’t that decision-makers were unwilling to sacrifice the lives of more than a hundred thousand participating young people. The issue was that not everyone had Nico Ross’s mental toughness. They might not be able to adapt instantly after switching to the Absolute Link and make full use of their abilities.
According to normal logic, ordinary soldiers would need a period of adaptation after switching states. They would have to spend some time adjusting to the coexistence and synergy of human thought and the brain’s core functions.
Rushing participants to adjust could very well do more harm than good.
After making all the strategic adjustments, numerous decision-makers, including Dylan Mitchell, who had come to observe the battle, had their hearts in their throats. They silently watched the changes, while praying in their hearts to the gods and buddhas that had long been proven not to exist.
They prayed for Nico Ross to hold on a little longer and for the other four members of the Flying Tiger Team to put up more of a fight and buy some time. If the closest team riding Heavy-load Spiders could arrive in time, there might still be hope.
Everyone dared not disturb Nico Ross’s gear and instead chose to connect with Mata’s armor.Mata’s Beetle has special enhancements in intelligence detection, with even stronger performance, capable of creating the most detailed simulations.
…
“It’s coming.”
On the other side, Nico Ross slightly raised his head to look at the distance.
The 15-centimeter-long centipede suddenly appeared from the side of a small metal mound in front of them, its tail spraying dark blue high-energy particles, slithering forward through mid-air.
“Sophie Lee!” Nico Ross shouted an order.
Hidden on the flank, Sophie Lee’s Beetle suddenly poked out its head, opened its mouth, and sprayed a series of corrosive energy balls ahead of the anti-gravity centipede’s path, attempting to slow its progress slightly.
But as expected, the creature reacted extremely quickly, sharply bending its body and drawing a Z-shape in the air, easily dodging the attack and changing directions to continue its advance.
It switched its target from the conspicuously standing Nico Ross on the ground to Sophie Lee.
At this point, the anti-gravity centipede didn’t know who the most important target was and followed the principle of clearing the nearest threat.
However, the centipede’s movements were already within Nico Ross’s plans.
Just as the centipede reached a distance of less than ten meters from Sophie Lee, the ground below it exploded with a loud bang.
A series of sticky gel-covered dust particles splashed around, and from the bottom up, clung to the centipede’s body.
The one laying in ambush here was John Rowland, who had equipped his Beetle with an electromagnetic dust release device, which he turned to its maximum power.
The unintelligent anti-gravity centipede, now sprayed head to toe with electromagnetic dust, had its body tightly bound, and instantly changed its direction, lunging towards John Rowland below.
“Mata!”
Nico Ross had already started running forward.
On the surface, it seemed like he couldn’t save John, but with his command, Mata’s Beetle, hidden in the rear, suddenly spewed out a piece of black material.

It was the high-energy magnet that Nico Ross had asked Mata to collect nearby when he was strategically preparing for the battle.
With the addition of kinetic energy, the small, high-energy magnet chased the anti-gravity centipede from behind and upward.
At the same time, Nico Ross and John Rowland below activated the magnetic field release devices inside their Beetles.
The electromagnetic dust attached to the centipede’s body began to work, interacting with the high-energy magnet launched by Mata, dragging the centipede’s originally straight body into an on-the-spot bend, transforming into a V-shape with its head and tail slanting upward and its abdomen facing the ground.
On the other side, Edgar launched another high-energy magnet, colliding with the one shot by Mata head-on.
The two millimeter-sized magnets collided violently in mid-air, exploding into dust again.
However, the dust did not disperse but converged towards the centipede’s body like water being drawn into a whirlpool, entering the crevices of the centipede’s segmented body.
The centipede’s original agility was brought to a halt.
At this moment, Nico Ross’s Beetle emitted a powerful gas from its back, its wings flapping at an extremely high frequency as it charged forward, colliding head-on with the centipede.
While crashing, Nico Ross’s Beetle spun rapidly on the spot, and its high-strength wings fiercely sliced through the centipede.
