"Authorization? Relocation?"
In her anger and frustration, Kress momentarily failed to grasp Lin Yuan's words, let alone understand Lin Yuan's motives. Why was he so optimistic? Was he trying to take advantage of the situation?
However, at that moment, she had no time to ponder these thoughts. To her, even if they emptied the Black Swan completely, what difference would it make? Under the pressure from her family, her Viper Mercenary Corps was utterly powerless.
"Fine, do as you wish!" Kress said helplessly.
"Thank you!" Lin Yuan replied politely. Then, with a swift movement, he darted forward under everyone's gaze. Initially, everyone, including Bermington, thought this was a ridiculous act. After all, this was a massive interstellar patrol ship! How could one possibly move anything substantial in just an hour? It seemed like Bermington was merely mocking Kress.
However, the moment Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body made contact with the Black Swan, a miracle occurred. No one could have anticipated that Lin Yuan's so-called relocation wasn't about taking supplies from the cabins; he was actually starting to dismantle the ship from the outside!
Everywhere Lin Yuan's four Mechanical Arms touched seemed to be under some terrifying spell, instantly transforming into a pile of parts as if ants had gnawed through it. The astonishing speed of disassembly left everyone dumbfounded!
This was outrageous! What kind of speed was this?
The advanced repair arms produced by Mechanical City might achieve such disassembly speed, but that process relied on a complete set of controlled procedures—like one plus one equals two, two plus two equals four—without any deviation, akin to an assembly line.
Yet what Lin Yuan was dismantling wasn't a complete system! He was simultaneously disassembling dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of mechanical structures in the same area!
This was unreasonable; this was unscientific!
In less than a minute, the entire exterior of the Black Swan was left looking as if it had been viciously bitten into, resembling a grotesque piece of bread. If this were mere destruction, it would be one thing, but Lin Yuan was using the most standard disassembly techniques, leaving not a single part damaged!
Everyone was left dumbfounded at that moment!
Bermington stared blankly for a while before suddenly coming to his senses and shouting, "Stop! You can't disassemble the Black Swan, Kress! I only allow you to take what belongs to you, but not to dismantle the Black Swan!"
"Oh? Is that so? Fine, we won't break any rules. Vansdell, bring over the original information we rented for the Black Swan and give it to Mr. Papaya. Let him disassemble it according to that standard; any parts not listed in that information can be removed!" Kress said with great satisfaction. It was truly an unexpected miracle! She was certain that even if Lin Yuan followed the original specifications for disassembly, the Black Swan would never fly again.
In an instant, Bermington found himself unable to stop it and could only watch as Lin Yuan moved about the Black Swan like a magician, with parts cascading down in a chaotic flow wherever he went. The speed at which he disassembled was enough to create such a scene!
Meanwhile, Giant Jordo, Thomas, Fat Three, and others happily followed behind, collecting the heaps of disassembled parts as if they were simply cleaning up trash from a room.
As time passed second by second, Lin Yuan truly dismantled the massive Black Swan piece by piece.
Of course, it wasn't a complete disassembly; he followed the original information provided by Vansdell. Thus, where he worked still left the Black Swan with a basic structure that looked somewhat decent.
By the time an hour had passed, Lin Yuan had just finished disassembling. From top to bottom and inside out, nearly all of Kress's later-installed components along with those powerful weapon systems had been taken apart. The speed was astonishing—no, it was beyond belief; even a Level 15 Mechanical Assembler wouldn't be able to achieve this.
"Who exactly are you?"
At this point, even Bermington's tone had become much more polite. In Mechanical City, one didn't necessarily need immense strength to earn respect; possessing other powerful skills could also suffice. Bermington even began to wonder if there was a way to recruit this individual with such miraculous assembly and disassembly skills. Moreover, he could see that Lin Yuan was an Elite-level Mechanical Warrior, which made him entertain thoughts similar to Kress's.
"Thank you! Please call me the Whirlwind Dismantler!" Lin Yuan chuckled with pride. After all, for someone capable of quickly disassembling and reassembling a Pterosaur H-, using such skills on a civilian star patrol ship felt like overkill!
Of course, in front of a true assembly master, his tricks were merely clever cheating, lacking any real skill. But who could find a true assembly master among all the people present? The only one was Crumb, and he was merely a Weapon Modification expert; different fields felt like different mountains! Ha ha!
However, Bermington was no ordinary person. He remained unfazed by Lin Yuan's taunts. With a swift movement, he charged toward Black Swan like a whirlwind. In just a flurry of punches, the massive Black Swan was sent flying over a thousand meters. Before Black Swan even hit the ground, Bermington soared after it, unleashing a flurry of blade lights that nearly obscured the entire sky. When the dazzling lights faded into nothingness, Bermington had already returned to his original position as if carried by a gentle breeze. As for the gigantic Black Swan, it had been reduced to mere fragments in that instant, scattering everywhere before finally erupting in a deafening explosion, turning to ashes!
Although this was due to Black Swan not activating its energy shield and Lin Yuan having dismantled all its protective devices, it was enough to showcase Bermington's formidable strength!
If Lin Yuan had previously taken advantage of a moment to dismantle all the critical components of Black Swan, then Bermington's display completely overshadowed Lin Yuan's prowess.
At that moment, not only did Kress and the others change their expressions dramatically, but Lin Yuan also felt a chill run down his spine. Damn it, was this the power of a D4 level? It wouldn't take much effort to eliminate him!
As if he had just done something trivial, Bermington then turned to Lin Yuan and said calmly, "I am Bermington of the Kragas Family, leader of the Falcon Mercenary Corps. Since you wish to take the Fair Wind Ship back to Mechanical City, you might as well travel with us. Otherwise, you might delay your journey. If I’m not mistaken, you should have recently been promoted to Elite Mechanical Warrior in the past few years. According to Mechanical City’s regulations, those who fail to report within ten Mechanical Years will face dire consequences. Do you think you have enough confidence to reach Mechanical City within that deadline?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"No! I'm just kindly reminding you not to meddle in affairs that don't concern you! Just be a good passerby; it's good for you and everyone else! That shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Bermington resumed his harmless smile as he looked at Lin Yuan. (To be continued.)
