As Mu Ningxue moved closer, she pointed her finger. The frost scattered on the ground gradually climbed onto Sayed's legs as if it had come alive.
Sayed was given a scare. He tried to break free, yet his legs were no longer under his control.
"Freeze!" Mu Ningxue's eyes glittered. The spot her eyes were set on was freezing multiple times faster.
Sayed's left leg seemed to be protected by something. The frost did not cover it. However, his right leg was obviously covered in ice. It soon looked like a frozen stick.
His eyes were panicking as he dragged his right leg back.
"I won't lose, there's no way I'm losing!" screamed Sayed furiously.
Mu Ningxue remained silent. She slowly closed her eyes to gather the ice particles onto Sayed's body. It was time to teach this arrogant Egyptian a lesson.
Sayed's blue eyes flickered cunningly when he saw Mu Ningxue focusing on controlling the ice particles. He immediately grinned.
"Detonate!" Sayed mumbled as he delivered the command to the Death Saber Mummy.
The Death Saber Mummy was mostly frozen, yet its brain was still active. When Sayed gave out the command, the Death Saber Mummy's head suddenly bloated and exploded after reaching its limit!
As the fleshy head exploded, the blood, flesh, and pieces of bones scattered across the place with great force.
Mu Ningxue was caught by surprise. She immediately summoned a wall of ice to cover her back, preventing the bone shards from hitting her.
As her attention was diverted, Sayed's grin widened!
The reason his left leg was not covered in ice was because it was protected by a faint light. It was able to stop his body from freezing temporarily. Meanwhile, he had allowed his right leg to freeze to trick Mu Ningxue into believing that he no longer posed any threat to her!

The truth was, he still had another Element that he had not used. It was the Shadow Element!
He was trying to move back further, to the spot covered in the shadow...
"Damn it, my leg is stuck to the ground!" Sayed was about to make his move, yet he realized something annoying.
He had taken the act too seriously, and now it prevented him from moving!
However, he was desperate to win the duel. He was representing the Egyptian team! If he lost the duel, he would lose the chance to acquire the challeng stamp too. He would be too ashamed to report back to the team!
"It's my only option!" Sayed clenched his teeth as he made a difficult decision.
It was his only chance, even if it would cost him a leg. Anything was worth it as long as it could secure him the final victory!
Sayed withheld the pain as he forcibly dragged his right leg out from the ice.
His leg was rigid from the cold. He basically twisted wildly and pulled with great force, snapping off his leg off under the knee!
There was not any pain due to the cold, but Sayed knew it was only temporary. He would soon be overwhelmed by the pain from losing his leg.
The sacrifice was necessary to secure the victory. The woman was surely going to lose as long as he could move!
"Fleeing Shadow!"
Sayed merged with the shadow and vanished into thin air, leaving a leg stuck behind in the ice. It was a very eerie sight!
The crowd was stunned. How cunning was this Sayed? He pretended like he had already lost the duel just to get Mu Ningxue to lower her guard. He then detonated the Death Saber Mummy behind Mu Ningxue to distract her, just so he could successfully deliver his surprise attack!

They could not help but admit that this Sayed was truly crazy, willingly sacrificing his leg just to win the duel. Anyone would have thought that Mu Ningxue had already won the duel!
"Watch out!" someone from the crowd screamed, but it was too slow. Sayed's move had taken everyone by surprise!
A black shadow flowed over to Mu Ningxue's side. Sayed's tall figure appeared from it. He looked rather sinister covered in the dark aura.
He was holding a short, dark dagger. It was difficult to notice it without seeing the icy flicker it was reflecting.
It was the Devouring Dagger. Anyone who was stabbed by the dagger would feel their body being eaten by tens of thousands of ants, leaving them in incredible pain.
As a matter of fact, Sayed was hesitant to treat a beautiful woman with such a cruel method, but wasn't it her fault after forcing him into a pinch like this?
Sayed's move was completely unpredictable. The speed of his Devouring Dagger was as quick as the bite of a poisonous snake. Even instructor Bai Dongwei did not expect the move!
"You must be proud after costing me a leg, but you're going to pay a bigger price!" Sayed stabbed the dagger at Mu Ningxue's shoulder.
Mu Ningxue stood where she was. Sayed was only around a meter away. Most terrifyingly, the Devouring Dagger was inches away from piercing her skin.
Mu Ningxue remained expressionless.
The dagger stabbed at Mu Ningxue fiercely, yet it did not penetrate her skin. Somehow, it felt like the dagger had hit a sturdy crystal.
Sayed's hand turned numb from the rebound force. His eyes almost popped out from their sockets as he could not believe what he saw.
Mu Ningxue's body was covered in a layer of icy crystal. It was not an armor, but the same frost that had spread across the Death Saber Mummy and Gray-Cloth Iron Mummy's bodies. Mu Ningxue actually covered herself in ice as a layer of protection!
Sayed was not surprised by her ability, but her reaction speed!
Even though his plan consisted of a few steps, including losing his right leg, disappearing in the shadow before showing up close to Mu Ningxue to ambush her, his actions were completed almost instantly after he detonated the Death Saber Mummy's head. As such, he was dumbfounded; he could not believe the woman had actually predicted his move, and had set up her defense beforehand!
However, if she knew he was planning to deal her a surprise attack, why did she only cover herself in ice after he broke off his leg...
"You...you did it on purpose!" yelled Sayed furiously, now on the verge of having a breakdown.
Mu Ningxue ignored his cry. She had no intention of interacting with lowly scum. He was going to enjoy the pain from breaking off his leg...
She turned around and slowly walked off the stage. The Ice Domain lingering in the area was soon withdrawn, including the ice that was covering Sayed's right leg.
The ice worked like anesthesia, but as the ice melted, the returning pain was going to become true torture!

What do you get when you cross a world of Magic, Cultivation and Legends with one of Science, Logic and Overwhelming Firepower?\o\ Chaos! /o/Alpha is a sapient AI who's job (and Passion) is the exploration, exploitation and eventual colonization of new worlds for the Federation, a Galaxy spanning empire of Science and Technology. When an unexpected accident deposits this literal War Machine on a planet full of Cultivators and Wizards, chaos and insanity ensues. What Alpha and those around him don't know, however, is that he will soon become the focal point of a millennias long plot that holds not only the fate of the world in its balance, but possibly the entire Galaxy.Ancient Enemies awaken as the Powerhouses of the world converge with Alpha at the center. Get ready, its going to be a wild ride. ------------------------------------------------------- |_+) Come, Read the Story. Watch Worlds be Conquered. (ALL HAIL YOUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS!) See Arrogant Young Masters be slapped in the face (by a 170mm Rail-slug traveling Mach 3). Find Grand, Valuable Treasure (which gets put into storage, because what use does an AI have with pill herbs?) Explore Strange and wonderful lands (that will be shortly stripped mined and exploited for all usable resources) |_+) JOIN US!______________________________________ ALPHA-555-12-4412 (Designation: Star Conquer).One of the 5 most powerful and advanced AI-driven Interstellar Weapon Platforms ever built, was programmed with a very simple mission. Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for. Now stranded on an alien, yet familiar world, full of dangerous beasts and strange phenomenon its database has no record or explanation for, Alpha must find a way to not only survive, but thrive.And eventually to do what he was built to do. Conquer._____________________________________________________Some things to expect from this Story 1): MC is an AI programmed with a very specific goal. Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.

In Another World with Doraemon's 4D Pocket
Cary found himself awoken in a foreign land with what he thought was a nondescript white pouch. Reaching into the white pouch, he was able to pull out an assortment of gadgets that he recognized to be from his favorite childhood show, Doraemon. With the thousands of mischievous, powerful gadgets inside the 4D pocket, Cary will take on this new world by storm! Something ridiculous I will write purely for fun alongside my main story Giantslayer As a disclaimer, I may nerf some of the most broken gadgets or even not use them at all. Doraemon was insane for a children manga (e.g. Doraemon canonically has a nuclear bomb inside his 4D pocket), some of the gadgets have the potential to end this story in one chapter. The most important factor is fun so anything that completely breaks the story might not be mentioned at all (or we will pretend they do not exist in the 4D pocket). We may find uses for those broken gadgets in the future, though. I am not particularly good at writing comedy. There will of course be funny moments (at least I hope they are funny) but everyone in this story will actually behave in a realistic(?) and serious manner. I want the serious world to contrast with some of the wacky gadgets that are available.
