Under the gate, Yun You took a long breath and released the super heavy state of Red Scale.

The previous strike, it wasn't just the gate; even her own hand was swollen from the shock.

She had underestimated the power of "super heavy" too much.

The total weight of the steel gate was as much as 1100 tons, and the super heavy Red Scale would only be heavier and denser!

A heavy punch of over a thousand tons swung with full force, the kinetic energy it produced was countless times more terrifying than a cannonball.

In previous instances of activating it, Yun You had always held back her strength, and the targets she hit weren't anything sturdy, so naturally, she didn't feel the shock in her hand.

But this time, she truly felt the destructive force.

If it weren't for Red Scale attached to her, providing her with enough weight to stand firm, she would have been swept away by the shockwave.

Just like what happened to Tian En.

But even so, she still felt a rush of exhilaration.

She hated iron gates, walls, barbed wire, hated anything that tried to confine her, obstruct her path.

Deep down, Yun You craved a kind of freedom unbound by anything, although various obsessions prevented her from reaching this state, it didn't stop Yun You from pursuing it.

Ever since entering the Floating Island Prison, her heart had been filled with two emotions: the feeling of being a caged bird, and the savage intent of killing freely.

While the latter could bring joy, with the bondage of the former, she could never truly release the oppression in her heart.

And now with this punch, not only did it smash through the iron gate, it also broke through the barriers in her heart, putting her in a state of "clarity".

The cage was never outside but inside her heart.

As long as the power was strong enough, even when imprisoned, she would be free.

Understanding this, the shackles of the lord Sequence within her began to dissipate bit by bit.

It seemed she had overcome the "Mental State" hurdle!

Similarly, Master Zero also felt exhilaration from that strike.

[Awesome!]

[This is my true power as Master Zero! Those petty fights are just too insignificant to even bother with!]

Listening to Master Zero's excited roars, Yun You grinned and casually asked, "Should we 'feast' now?"

[Of course!]

[A thousand-ton feast definitely needs to be enjoyed properly!]

With that, Red Scale let out an excited roar, opened its five claws, transforming into a bloodthirsty maw, tearing into the remnants of the gate.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo and his group on the lookout tower finally snapped out of their stupor.

Watching Yun You grab the steel debris, they thought the little girl was going to clear the wreckage, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Though the little girl had wrecked the gate, the gate was immensely thick, and even if destroyed, the debris could still block the dam passage.

To clear the passage, she'd need at least half a day, and by then, reinforcements from Lake Town would have arrived.

"Fear not, soldiers!"

Chen Nuo turned back and shouted, "Unless she can make all the steel vanish into thin air, she absolutely can't get through here!"

"We still have a chance..."

Saying these words, Chen Nuo's intention was actually to boost morale.

But as he spoke, he suddenly realized his subordinates were once again in a daze.

The guards stared blankly at the scene below the lookout tower, their eyes filled with disbelief and despair.

Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, instinctively following their gaze, only to see a scene he would never forget.

In the rubble of the gate, nearly a third of the steel debris had disappeared.

And the culprit was Yun You.

Or rather, the giant claw in her hand.

That strange claw would crush any piece of steel it grasped into fragments, which were then burned into molten iron by the flames passing through its fingers, rapidly absorbing it.

Using this method, Yun You swiftly cleared a path.

Now, Chen Nuo was truly hopeless.

The cornerstone of Lake Town's survival was this sturdy steel gate.

If other forces tried with all their might, there might be a sliver of hope to break through this door, but that would inevitably come at a great cost, allowing other War Gangs to seize the moment.

Because of such concerns, Lake Town could sit securely, playing both sides while amassing wealth.

It could be said that everyone disliked their fence-sitting position, but due to the wall's existence, people had to grudgingly accept it.

But now, this gate had been completely destroyed, with no chance of repair.

This meant...

Lake Town no longer had anything to rely on for its continued existence.

Chen Nuo sat on the ground ashen-faced, muttering to himself.

"It's over... It's over..."

If he truly believed in the "Mediator Lord," he wouldn't have committed such treacherous acts, saying one thing aloud, taking the money and resources from several War Gangs, and betraying Tian En behind their backs.

The Mediator Lord most despises those who say one thing and do another; how could such a person expect blessings and protection?

Chen Nuo finally couldn't hold back his regret... but it was too late.

Soon, Yun You had eaten all the metal.

And Red Scale showed another sign of evolution.

A fiery red light suddenly appeared, enveloping the red giant claw, making every scale and shell shine even brighter.

[D2 grade metal absorption complete, Red Scale, evolving]

[Blade Form unlocked, current seal level: LV2]

[New ability unlocked — Phantom Blade Man]

[Please continue to devour rare metals, the next stage will unlock new skills in Dragon Gun form]

"Phantom... Blade Man?"

Seeing the name of this skill, Yun You was slightly taken aback, then quickly flipped her wrist, transforming the Red Scale Giant Claw into Blade Form.

The evolved blade not only increased in length and width, enough to cover half of Yun You's body.

The young girl briefly examined the blade and then silently lowered her head, lightly waving the blade while silently chanting —

"Phantom Blade Man!"

In the next moment, a mass of red light suddenly appeared on the blade, transforming into a droplet that hit the ground with a splash.

Subsequently, the droplet rapidly morphed into a blood-colored phantom resembling Yun You.

The phantom said nothing, merely swung the identical blade on its right hand at the wall, leaving a knife mark several meters deep on the concrete wall.

In terms of power, this strike was definitely on par with one delivered by Yun You herself!

But its consumption was trivial, only one percent of what Yun You would expend with her own hand.

The young girl ignored the blank stare from Tian En beside her, focusing intently on the knife mark.

She understood how to use this move!

So-called Phantom Blade Man was actually a slight energy consumption to summon a phantom that would deliver a full-strength strike on the target she was attacking.

At first glance, this move might not seem impressive, but on closer thought, one could see its fearsome nature.

It operated silently, taking less than 3 seconds from appearing to striking, causing virtually no disturbance during that time.

If used in actual combat, it would surely catch the opponent off guard.

Though the cooldown time was a bit long, Yun You estimated it would take a few minutes between uses, but its low consumption meant it could completely reverse the situation!

This was another ability on par with "super heavy".

"Seems like fortunes have changed."

Yun You let out a long breath, suppressing her excitement, and took Tian En's hand, riding the elevator all the way up the dam, entering Lake Town.

This time, no one dared to stop the two of them.

Because everyone knew that trying to stop Yun You would only lead to a dead end!
