Martial God Reborn As A Robot

CHAPTER 09

The masked figure was a male robot.

He hacked the door and quietly opened it.

The hall was silent.

He went to the bedroom door. It was also locked, but he opened it without making any noise.

He slowly pushed it open by a few degrees and entered the room.

Tucker was walking on top of Sasha’s body, and she liked it so much she fell asleep.

Tucker stopped walking and looked at the intruder.

The masked robot stared back at him. He had orange eyes, which meant he was an F-grade robot.

“You are not a thief,” Tucker asked. “Who sent you?”

“Master Damian,” the masked robot replied.

“So he sent you to destroy us in secret,” Tucker didn’t seem surprised. “He acted all great in the morning, but this is his true color.”

“You slipped past the electric barrier of the guards without even disrupting,” the robot asked him. “How did you do that? For an x-grade with a poor sync rate, it shouldn’t have been possible.”

“Is Damian watching me through you right now?” Tucker asked.

The robot did not respond.

“I’ll take your silence as yes,” Tucker said. “My answer to your question is…” He jumped off the bed and attacked the robot.

The robot counterattacked, but then everything went blur.

Damian, who was watching through the eyes of the robot, was no longer able to see anything.

Damian was currently drinking on a couch that was inside a flying robotic beast. His robots were standing on the sides.

“It seems the mission failed,” one of the robots said. “Do you want us to personally go and handle him, sir?”

Damian put the empty glass down on the glass table. “Even though we’re inside a bird that’s flying through the air, this glass doesn’t move an inch because this place has a special ‘law’ put on it when it was made. External forces can’t affect it without breaking that existing law guarding this space.

“This morning, the invisible barrier that you guys put to block all the people also has a law to stop any random person from slipping through. But that X-grade robot passed right through that barrier without even disrupting it. His affinity with electricity must be really high, but on top of that, he’s got some secret skill. If I can learn that skill, it might help me get to Rank 3.”

“Is he really that good, sir?”

“My instincts say so. As far as I know, there has been only one robot in history that rose from X-grade all the way to SSS-grade,” Damian smiled. “I think I can make that girl’s robot grow into a B-grade or even an A-grade with the right upgrades.”

“Tell us how we can get that robot to you, sir,” the robots asked in unison.

Damian smirked. “Simple. He’s going to participate in the robot wars soon.  Just make sure he suffers a defeat that crushes his body. Make the robot’s owner give up on that robot on her own. Then, bring that robot’s core to me. I will deal with extracting the information I want.”

“Yes, sir.”

Back at Sasha’s apartment.

Tucker was out in the balcony, sitting next to the robot that was dead. He plucked the core out.

“It’s vague, but I can sense spiritual energy in this…” he faintly smiled. “Absorbing this will help me increase my own spiritual energy. Then I can better use my skills.”

He sat crosslegged with the core placed between his palms.

Electricity leaked out of his palms and passed through the core and stirred the spiritual energy in it.

Within a few minutes, all the spiritual energy in the core entered Tucker’s core through the circuits.

Caleb’s sync rate went from 0.91 percent to 0.93 percent.

The improvement wasn’t much, but this small step forward made Tucker smile.

The next morning.

Sasha woke up and found a dead robot on her balcony. Tucker told her that this robot came to assassinate her, and that it killed the robot.

Sasha believed his story and thanked him.

She called the law enforcement officers and had them take the dead robot away. She complained to the tower authorities to keep better watch, and they proposed to pay her 10,000 nex to keep her quiet about this incident. But she demanded 30,000 nex and eventually received 20,000 nex.

Without any hesitation, she upgraded Tucker’s hands and feet. She got him better quality material that could help him move better.

Sasha trained him day after day.

And then the time came for Tucker’s second match in the robot wars, a match where the stage was set for Tucker to get crushed like a bug.
