I'm the King Of Technology Chapter 1974 Saved By The Goddess's Kiss?

Boom! Boom! Boom! The thunderous blasts persisted until the entrance was reduced to splinters. "Path is clear!"

The marksmen quickly announced the destruction of the gates. [Understood, Bravo V-22. Activate the Umbrella shields and brace for impact during the breach!]

"Acknowledged, Control! The package is moving!" The female operator, wearing rugged apocalyptic goggles, gave a sharp laugh. She cracked her knuckles before gently gripping the wheel. "Alright everyone, tighten those seatbelts and brace yourselves… it’s about to be a very bumpy ride~" "..."

Wait, what did she—

Vrrrrmmmm~

Gregory felt his stomach flip as he was tossed in every direction by the woman's erratic driving. She had not been exaggerating; the journey was incredibly turbulent. Several Baymardians familiar with her reputation were already praying out loud, their expressions suggesting they would rather face the enemy's blades than ride with her again. Gregory had to concede that her driving was reckless, yet she was exceptionally skilled at evading the incoming volleys of arrows.

Bap. Bap. Bap.~

The canopy-like Umbrella shield that deployed just above the vehicles performed brilliantly. It didn't just deflect the lethal projectiles; it caught them mid-air. It is important to remember that while the enemy's weapons were enhanced, they weren't quite at Baymard's level. Still, repeated hits on a single point meant their arrows could eventually pierce Baymardian armor. Soon, they surged through the city gates and traversed a tunnel-like path before emerging into a vast plaza where hundreds of enemy soldiers stood waiting. Did they think that was the extent of their forces? [Airforce, show them our strength!]

"Copy that, ground unit. We are moving in!"

The battlefield transformed into a vortex of pure mayhem. Elsewhere, Artemis had successfully breached the city with several Morgs and was currently navigating a forested zone within the Capital. Artemis blinked in surprise as he spotted a man and an army blocking their path. "It's one of our primary targets! Lord Crane!" The man rumored to command the birds. With a stoic expression, Artemis stepped out of the vehicle, followed by the Baymardians, Caronians, and the rest of the UN allied forces.

"How intriguing~..." Crane observed the approaching vehicles, recognizing their Baymardian origin immediately. Could it be that while they were launching an invasion of Baymard, Baymard was simultaneously attempting to seize their territory? Hah-hah-hah-hah. Crane found the irony amusing, wondering how the Baymardians would react to the news that their home now belonged to Morgany. Was Crane intimidated? Not in the slightest. However, the Holy Stone had vanished this very night, and now an invading force was here. It seemed they had been too lenient with the various continents, allowing the Giants and the dark and blue-skinned people to join forces with the enemy. But wait? Since when were there green-skinned people in this world? Fascinating… truly fascinating… Crane licked his lips, slowly drawing his whip and snapping it viciously through the air.

He never put his faith in coincidences. "How tragic that you all harbor delusions of victory against us." 1, 2, 3… Artemis lunged toward Crane with the speed of a cheetah. "You have a whip? Well, so do I!" Instantly, the surrounding foliage, grass, and roots rose up, weaving themselves into a thick, vine-like rope in Artemis' hand. String!!!~

The two combatants were jerked back as their whips became entangled in a lethal knot. "Boy, what are you?" Crane demanded, his gaze darkening. He had never encountered such abilities before. Green people, unknown powers… Dammit! How much of the world remained hidden from them, despite their many eyes in the sky?

Instead of pulling back, Crane suddenly charged forward, nearly knocking Artemis off his feet. Bang! Artemis felt his ribs groan under the pressure of Crane's powerful kick.

Artemis was down.

"Is that the best you can do, giant?" Looking toward the heavens, Crane let out a sharp whistle. In response, over twenty birds descended with murderous intent. "Your Majesty Artemis!" several allies cried out in panic while struggling against the overwhelming enemy numbers. "No! I am not that helpless!"

Artemis clenched his teeth, channeling his power into the greenheart around him. Suddenly! Peak! Peak! Peak!~

The birds attempted to pierce him with their razor-sharp beaks, but they could not penetrate the dense sphere of vines protecting Artemis. "Oh?" Crane mocked. "Clever. But I can easily crush your little nest and let my pets inside." Artemis smirked. "You talk too much." Bang! Crane collapsed as a vine snaked out from behind and yanked him off his feet. The vine didn't stop there; it dragged him away and bound him tightly to a nearby tree. Twee-twee-twee~

The birds swarmed their master, frantically pecking at the vines to set him free. "Do you know I have a sworn brother who once told me that villains die quickly because they talk too much in the heat of battle?" Artemis laughed. Indeed, if Crane intended to break the vine shield, he should have just done it instead of explaining his plan. Did he think this was a training session? Artemis drew his long blade and charged to deliver the finishing blow. But who said Crane was an easy mark? Ahhh!!! Artemis gasped as a dagger was buried in his thigh. How? When did Crane escape? Those birds…

Artemis used to like birds, but now he found them loathsome. Crane was prepared to deliver a strike that would sever Artemis' head. Seeing this, a certain Baymardian woman quickly crushed a nearby enemy's skull with her bare hands and tossed a stun grenade into the air. "His Majesty Artemis, prepare for the Goddess's Kiss!" Ah… the Goddess’s Kiss. That was the code to shut his eyes. Artemis obeyed instantly, keeping his eyes clamped shut until Warden Samantha gave the word. Ahhh! "You absolute bastards!" Crane screamed in a rage. "What have you done? Where are you? Why can't I see or hear anything?"

The enemy forces, the birds, and their subordinates were now completely disoriented. Warden Samantha, wearing her protective gear, calmly reloaded her weapon. she watched with cold patience as the men stumbled around like blind, deaf zombies. "This should keep them under for three days." ~Peu. Peu! Her silencer hissed, and within seconds, Crane was snoring loudly on the ground. ~Pue. Pue.

The other Baymardians systematically tranquilized the survivors. They signaled the Air Force teams, who descended in suit-like armor to lift the sleeping enemies into hot air balloons, transporting them far away to the land of dreams. "..." [Artemis and the rest of the group]

Terrifying. These Baymardians were truly frightening if you provoked them. "Move out!!"

Warden Samantha gave the command, and the team continued their mission as planned.
