The Diggers suddenly stopped attacking.
For several seconds, the battlefield became strangely quiet.
The Sentinels stationed along the walls continued aiming their weapons at the machines, while the survivors inside the shelter watched in confusion as the massive mechanical creatures stood motionless before the Advanced Barrier.
Their drill-shaped heads were still spinning, throwing up clouds of dust and debris, but none of them attempted another attack.
Then the main gates of the Codebreakers Shelter slowly opened.
A figure emerged from within…
Atom had arrived.
The S-Grade Sentinel walked forward without any hesitation, leaving the shelter's gates behind him as the Advanced Barrier continued to protect the place…
Atom did not carry a firearm, nor did it possess any visible weapon in its hands. Its body alone was the weapon.
