Chapter 112: Humans, Automatons, Wild Beasts
That's quite a useful ability,?Adam thought to himself as turned to look at Black Bear.
In his current form, there wasn't much of a disparity in power between him and Black Bear, but this ability had allowed him to almost instantly incapacitate his opponent.
Furthermore, this ability was only going to become more and more fearsome as Nun continued to grow more powerful.
So the sewage is able to contaminate energy, as well as the human body. Not only does the contaminated subject receive bodily harm, their energy will also be contaminated, thereby debilitating them in two ways,?Adam analyzed as he crouched down to inspect Black Bear's condition.
Given his current appearance, his sharp claws, and his terrifying, demonic eyes, which were staring intently at Black Bear, it was very easy for misunderstandings to arise, especially among the spectators.
"It looks like he's not so weak, after all."
"Yeah, he looks a little scary."
"What is he doing? Is he considering killing his opponent?"
The mustached man hurriedly severed the psychic connection between the two combatants upon seeing this.
Black Bear's consciousness returned to his body, and he had become even more feeble due to the injuries that his psychic body had sustained. Thankfully, the psychic trauma that he suffered wasn't very severe, so he didn't die on the spot.
After returning to the real world, Black Bear was only able to move his eyes, and he turned to glower at Adam with a resentful expression. He opened his mouth to hurl some insults at Adam, but he was too feeble and fell unconscious before he could say anything.
As for Adam, he was completely fine, and following his return to the real world, he was declared the victor of the match.
After that came the payouts.
Once all of the winners had been paid what they were owed, the mustached man approached Adam with a card.
"Here's your appearance fee. It's a total of 24,000, and it's all in this card." He pulled out a machine as he spoke, then inserted the card into it to display the account information.
This was a type of contraband card that could only be found in Shadow City. There was no account or name, but all of the money in the card could be used as normal.
"This is amazing!" Hailey got up on the tips of her toes as she grabbed the card from the mustached man. "I don't even earn this much in three years!"
"Are you interested in working for me, Mr. Adapter? You seem to be pretty strong. If you work for me, I guarantee you that you'll earn more than this amount every match." The mustached man extended another offer to Adam.
"Maybe next time," Adam replied with a shake of his head before Hailey had a chance to say anything, then dragged her away with him as he departed. "I'll come find you again if I need you."
"Alright, my stall will always be here."
After departing from the stall, Adam led Hailey to a completely deserted area before taking the card from her.
"What are you doing? According to the rules of the industry, the money that you earn should be split 20:80 between us, so you owe me 4,800."
"Alright, let's settle the payment now." Adam cast his gaze toward the sports stadium to find that it was already extremely rowdy and bustling inside, indicating that the matches had already begun.
"There's no hurry. What are your plans from here, Mr. Killer?" Hailey suppressed the urge to take the card from Adam as she began to map out a plan for the future. "You're really strong, how about you participate in the qualification matches in the stadium?"
"Not interested," Adam replied as he made his way toward the stadium.
"Then why are you going there?"
"I want to watch the matches," Adam replied as he continued onward, while Hailey trailed along behind him like a lackey.
The two of them made their way over to the ticket booth, then paid for an electronic pass. Right as he was about to enter the stadium, Hailey hurriedly said, "Get me a ticket as well! Part of the money in that card belongs to me."
"Alright." The match that Adam had just fought in had been arranged for him by Hailey, so it was only fair that she received a cut of the payment. Thus, Adam purchased another ticket, and the two of them made their way over to the entrance of the stadium, where they were examined by some retrofitted automaton security guards before being granted entry.
Even from outside, the collective voices of the spectators were already deafening, and it was even louder inside the stadium.
What a lively place!
Adam had been to many bustling places before, both online and offline.
After all, Sandrise City had a massive population, and the Metaverse was also a very busy place.
However, never had he been to a place as deranged as this one. This wasn't the largest gathering of people that he had ever seen, but the atmosphere was extremely manic. Everyone looked as if they were on drugs, and they were screaming at the top of their lungs as if they had gone insane.
Some of the spectators were cheering on the combatants they were backing, while others were simply screaming for the sake of screaming, spewing unintelligible nonsense that didn't mean anything.
While entering the stadium, Adam had even witnessed someone douse their companion in petrol before setting them alight.
"What the fuck is this place?" After witnessing this chaotic scene, Adam immediately activated his telegnosis to its maximal capacity for fear of meeting his demise due to a momentary lapse in concentration.
"That's just how things are here. Order and reason aren't required in this place." Hailey was already completely accustomed to this. "Those who need order and reason have already gone to live in Sandrise City. There are no rules or surveillance here. You can kill anyone you want as long you're prepared for the risk of vengeance. This is a place where you can do whatever you want!"
Hailey seemed to have also been infected by the atmosphere in this place, and her voice abruptly trailed off into a high-pitched scream.
What a bunch of nutjobs!
Adam shifted his attention away from the spectators and cast his gaze toward the match that was taking place up ahead.
The sports stadium had been constructed to resemble an ancient Roman colosseum, with spectators situated in tall stands, while the combatants fought down below.
Adam had come in just in time for the climax of a battle between a pair of cyborgs.
Regardless of whether it was in terms of appearance or bodyweight, these two cyborgs were fundamentally different from the people outside who had only had some prosthetic limbs retrofitted onto their bodies. Essentially, it was no exaggeration to call these two a pair of humanoid mechas. Their brains and nerves were still human, but every other part of their body, including their bones, were no longer human.
Are human nerves capable of moving such enormous and heavy bodies?
The two combatants were downright massive, and one of them, a hulking cyborg that was over three meters tall, pounced onto his opponent like a wild beast, knocking them down onto the ground.
After knocking his opponent to the ground, the cyborg opened his large, metallic mouth before biting down viciously onto his opponent's neck, aiming to bite through all of the neural transmission lines there.
However, the abdomen of the cyborg that had been knocked down suddenly opened up to reveal an abdominal cavity that was filled with electric saws.
The cyborg laying on the ground used the saw-like teeth in its abdominal cavity to chomp down onto his opponent like a great white shark, and the electric saws screeched against the metal, producing a ghastly sound and intense flurries of sparks.
I have to admit, this is quite the spectacle!
Even though Adam didn't enjoy watching humans being pitted against each other like wild beasts, he couldn't help but be impressed by the exciting spectacle unfolding before his eyes.
In particular, the knowledge that the two combatants were living humans added a strange extra layer of excitement and impact than watching a pair of automatons duking it out.
Even though the electric saw cyborg was the one on the ground, he quickly gained the upper hand. His electric saws had already sliced so far into the beastly cyborg's body that a small section of his opponent's spine was already visible. The spine was originally protected by a layer of metallic casing, but the casing had been sawn open to reveal countless neural transmission lines.
As these lines were severed by the electric saws, the beastly cyborg gradually lost the ability to move his lower body.
However, he was still biting ferociously into his opponent's neck, and soon, he was also able to bite through the opposing cyborg's spine, upon which the electric saws instantly stopped working.
Has he made a comeback?
Adam looked on with a surprised expression to see that even though the beastly cyborg's body had already been torn into shreds by his opponent's electric saws, he was still able to move his head, despite losing the ability to move the rest of his body.
He was using his lower jaw as a base, opening and closing his mouth over and over again to chew through his opponent's head with his incredible bite force.
It was no longer supported by energy from the rest of its body, so it was burning through its final reserves of energy. In the end, the electric saw cyborg's cranial protective casing was punctured, and he fell dead on the spot as intracranial fluids splattered in all directions.
