Chapter 82

The pressure brought by a high-level life form surged rapidly from the underground crater.

Magma, earth, air, water, electric arcs... were all rewritten into an information state!

In every corner of the continental plate where Meng Yi and the Void Dragon were, the sound of mechanical collisions was transmitted.

Lingering with dark green information currents, the mechanical construct, with its extreme technological beauty, slowly stretched the mechanical wings on its back.

Above the Void Dragon's forehead, a green mechanical halo shaped like a sun pattern rapidly expanded its domain!

Electricity from the void, gears turning, particle streams jetting... the vast information-mechanical domain covered reality.

A single shard could have the ability to rewrite reality, which shows how powerful the Void Dragon must have been in its peak period, when it mastered the universe's mechanical and information physical rules.

The static Void Dragon planet-killing construct began to move, the sound of electronic technology like the mysterious music of heaven, emanating from every gear structure in the sci-fi future domain covering the continental plate.

"Esper? Interesting, actually not assimilated by my rules."

It was clearly a flat, cold electronic voice, yet one could hear the cruelty, joy, and doubt contained within it.

Strong! Very strong!

The Void Dragon planet-killing construct was the most powerful enemy Meng Yi had encountered so far!

This thing could fight the golden giant (the Emperor) with just one shard; even when bombarded by several Blackstone Fortresses, it only fainted.

And now, the Necron Dynasty had constructed a form for the Void Dragon shard, giving it a medium to rely on.

Although the Void Dragon could not completely break the seal, with the help of the construct, it also had the destructive power to shatter a star core.

……

To resist the Void Dragon's physical rule assimilation, the energy consumption of the "Life Field" increased rapidly.

"Not completely broken out of the seal yet? Otherwise, it shouldn't be at this level."

"In other words, this battle... is winnable."

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish; the stronger the Void Dragon shard, the higher the final harvest.

Retreating without a fight and running away—Meng Yi was not reconciled; he had to try no matter what.

"Respectable opponent, to respond to your power, I will bring out my full strength!"

Meng Yi’s eyes opened and closed, and the crystal wall layer manifested by the "Life Field" propped up a small area within the Void Dragon's domain.

Spatial teleportation activated!

"Infinite City: Space-Time Fortress" descended!

The superposition state of the Space-Time Fortress and the human body was activated!

"Infinite City: Energy Hub" overloaded!

The suppressed Meng Yi finally gained the power to move freely within the Void Dragon's domain.

If he can move, he can fight.

If he can fight, he can try to defeat it!

"Mortal, you dare to overstep?!"

The Void Dragon roared in fury, data information streams assimilating matter, condensing a mechanical spear lingering with dark green information currents.

The mechanical wings vibrated, and the giant mechanical construct turned into an information state, turning from virtual to real not far from Meng Yi.

"Boom——!!"

The spear containing physical rules collided with the "Life Field: Crystal Wall Layer," and Meng Yi was blasted out of the atmosphere by the terrifying force, falling into the dark and deep cosmic starry sky.

The Void Dragon followed closely, attempting to use physical rules to shatter Meng Yi’s field defense and crush the ant who dared to overstep the gods!

It changed its mind; how could an ant be worthy of bathing in its glory and becoming one with it? Death is the destination for ants!

Meng Yi maintained the "Life Field" crystal wall layer, putting all his energy into perfecting the "Positive: Planetary Field Framework."

"Aaaaaa!!!"

The Void Dragon became angrier the more it fought; it changed its evaluation of Meng Yi again, from a tiny bug to a smelly, hard rock.

"Die! Despicable bug!"

Meng Yi ignored the Void Dragon’s exasperation, rapidly building a field that could rival a planet and absorb the universe's positive energy.

Energy burned out continuously, pushing himself to accelerate limitlessly in cosmic space.

Meng Yi crashed through many space technology wrecks and meteorites along the way, flying straight toward the star where the Ember System was located.

Calculated by current astronomical cycles, the hive is about 150 million kilometers from the star.

With an initial speed of Mach 49 (16.7 km/s), it would take 124.9 days to reach the star region.

But speed in cosmic space can be continuously superimposed.

As long as there is sufficient acceleration propulsion, and as long as one can withstand it, theoretically any object can reach the speed of light!

……

On the 10th day of returning to the main Warhammer world, Meng Yi, being hunted by the C'tan, increased his speed to Mach 294 (93.5 km/s).

He used bio-electric energy to accelerate his tiny superimposed human form, while the Void Dragon used the C'tan's infinite energy to accelerate its huge mechanical body; neither side could pull away.

The 20-fold energy storage of the "Infinite City: Energy Hub" was mostly consumed; "Positive: Planetary Field Framework" progress: 26.42%.

"No! Can't go on like this; I can't outlast a C'tan shard with infinite energy."

"Must first reduce 'quantity,' improve 'quality,' and accelerate the speed of field construction."

"Only by completing the 'qualitative change' can I have the qualifications to compete on the same stage as the Void Dragon; while it hasn't completely broken the seal, seize that C'tan shard!"

Meng Yi withstood the Void Dragon’s fierce offensive, and his acceleration increased instantly.

Then he began to dismantle all the unimportant areas of the "Infinite City: Space-Time Fortress," putting them into the "Energy Hub" to provide energy supply.

……

20th day of returning to the main Warhammer world.

Meng Yi was running for his life in cosmic space, his speed reaching Mach 876 (297.84 km/s).

The "Infinite City: Space-Time Fortress" was reduced to one percent of its original size; "Positive: Planetary Field Framework" progress: 75.17%.

"The Void Dragon hasn't completely broken through the blockade imposed by the Necrons yet!"

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer... soon, the roles will be reversed!"

"Aaaaaa!!!"

The expanded information-mechanical domain assimilated meteorites and asteroids in cosmic space, and the Void Dragon’s angry roar shook the cosmic vacuum.

"Bug! Damn bug!"

"Do you think you can outlast a C'tan?!"

Life is not easy; the dragon sighs.

Imprisoned for 60 million years, finally able to open its eyes to see the world, only to encounter Meng Yi, this troublesome thing—it was truly frustrating.

"Bug! Keep running!!"

"When your energy is exhausted, when that shell of yours dissipates, I will let you know what the wrath of a god is!"

Meng Yi didn't answer, too lazy to engage in meaningless trash talk with the Void Dragon, focusing entirely on building his "Positive: Planetary Field Framework."

……

25th day of returning to the main Warhammer world.

Meng Yi’s speed increased to Mach 1367 (464.8 km/s), 40 million kilometers away from the star of the Ember System; at this speed, it would only take seven days to arrive.

"Positive: Planetary Field Framework" progress: 100%!

"Chasing me for more than twenty days, feels good, right?"

"Friend, now, our roles are reversed!"

Qualitative change completed, Meng Yi could also vibrate cosmic space to transmit sound.

Getting closer and closer to the star of the Ember System, the thermal radiation, one of the universe's positive energies provided by the star's brilliance, filled Meng Yi’s nearly exhausted "Infinite City: Energy Hub."

Don't underestimate a star; the energy a star produces in one second could be used by the entire human civilization for 100,000 years.

Without the planetary atmosphere to isolate it, even absorbing a tiny fraction was enough for Meng Yi to squander!

Qualitative change brought all-around improvement.

Meng Yi clenched his fist and fiercely shook the planet-killing construct.

"Life Field: Domain Expansion!"

The shimmering, dreamlike crystal wall layer devoured cosmic space, opening up an area that could be controlled by Meng Yi.

"Click—"

The retreating body hit the crystal wall barrier limit, and the terrifying flight speed of 464.8 km/s was forcibly reduced to zero!

The body, which had been fragmented into cell structures, healed and returned to normal in the blink of an eye!

Meng Yi successfully dragged the Void Dragon into his domain; the "Planetary Field" in turn checked the Void Dragon's information-mechanical domain.

The domain powers of both sides canceled each other out; neither could use domain power to affect the other.

Small as a sparrow, but complete with all internal organs.

Meng Yi had all the frameworks a planet should have!

"Hehehe, hahahaha!"

"Without the C'tan rule domain, what can a mere planet-killing construct do if I dismantle it?!"

……

Human-form micro-planet Meng Yi vs. Planet-killing construct Void Dragon!

Two monsters fought endlessly in cosmic space.

The Void Dragon didn't understand; how could the ant that was just being suppressed by it gain the power to arm-wrestle with it?

"Bug! Die!!"

C'tan do not die; C'tan do not fear battle!

Another Void Dragon shard dared to fight the golden giant Emperor. The Void Dragon shard still in a state of imprisonment would not retreat a single bit in the battle with Meng Yi.

The Void Dragon didn't flinch, and Meng Yi flinched even less!

The human-form planet pulled the four fundamental forces of the universe—electromagnetic force—and the mighty power to melt molecular chemical bonds clung to the crystal wall layer, forming billions of purple-black annihilation blades.

To deal with super-large enemies, one must perform precise dismantling; energy bombardment is laborious and thankless.

Electromagnetic force control!

Molecular-level micro-domain interference activated!

Stellar system magnetic field temporary resonance!

Purple-black lightning sea collided with information-state green lightning.

……

Outer space of a dead planet closest to the star in the Ember System.

The meteorite belt serving as the battlefield for Meng Yi and the planet-killing construct was ground into molecular-level particles by the aftermath of their clash.

"Get down!"

The expanded Life Field domain rapidly constricted, and the incoming force field barrier collided with the spine of the Void Dragon construct.

The mechanical wings were squeezed and distorted, and the terrifying force knocked the Void Dragon down to the mortal world!

Pursue the fleeing enemy with the remaining courage; do not seek fame like the Hegemon!

Meng Yi followed closely; the planetary atmosphere's defense mechanism could not provide any obstruction.

"Aaaaaaa!!!!"

The Void Dragon perhaps also sensed that it might be defeated.

The arrogance of a god meant it would not admit defeat! And it would not run away!

Two monsters fought from outer space into the planetary atmosphere, from the sky to the surface.

The crust of the rocky planet changed its form and structure endlessly in the aftermath of their clash, like a piece of plasticine.

The crust layer was destroyed, and massive amounts of magma from the mantle layer surged out!

The Void Dragon knocked Meng Yi into the mantle layer where magma was surging, and the huge mechanical body pursued relentlessly.

……

30th day of returning to the main battlefield world.

Meng Yi and the Void Dragon started the war, dyeing the star beneath their feet a magnificent red.

The surface was full of flowing magma seas, and magma rain covering the planet began to fall from the sky.

It took 112 hours, but before the "Promotion Assessment" began, Meng Yi had dismantled most of the planet-killing construct's body structure.

With body damage, the Void Dragon's resistance became increasingly weak.

Meng Yi pressed down on the halo on the Void Dragon's head, hammered it into the mantle layer, and rapidly approached the planet's core.

The Void Dragon counterattacked in a desperate situation, but Meng Yi did not give an inch.

The high-density core of the rocky planet could not bear the war between the two monsters.

Violent light and heat evaporated, and the planet's mass rapidly scattered into cosmic space.

The loss of mass accelerated the planet's demise.

The stable structure of the core collapsed, and the entire rocky planet exploded into a magnificent space firework.

The absolute zero of cosmic space solidified the boiling magma, and Meng Yi and the Void Dragon, amidst the rubble, were still clashing.

"Esper, you want my shard?"

"Hahaha! Ridiculous! You are far inferior to those rebels!"

"The day I break free from the cage will be the day you lose your life!"

Meng Yi melted the outer barrier of the giant construct's energy furnace and dissected the Void Dragon shard that had lost its carrier.

The small amount of information and mechanical physical rules that seeped out were like maggots on bones, devouring the crystal wall layer defense covering Meng Yi’s body.

"Then let's see if I improve faster or if you break the seal faster."

Meng Yi raised the C'tan shard, which was not even the size of a fingernail, and laughed wildly in the expanded Life Field domain.

He won this race against time.

For this, he overspent the gains from two harvests, the surface ecology of his home hive planet was in chaos, and a planet orbiting a star turned into cosmic dust.

After panting violently for a long time, the long-term high mental tension left Meng Yi mentally exhausted.

He retracted the Life Field domain, leaving only a thin layer covering his body and restraining the Void Dragon shard.

Meng Yi drifted in cosmic space, looking at the brilliant star 40 million kilometers away, which was releasing massive amounts of light and heat every moment.

"Star of Infinity: Space-Time Fortress, expand!"

The original name "Infinite City" was no longer appropriate, so Meng Yi changed it to "Star of Infinity."

The ten-kilometer-diameter mini-planet propped up an empty zone for itself in the meteorite swarm.

Meng Yi descended and came to the "Star of Infinity: Energy Hub" at the core of the micro-planet.

He applied layers of Life Field crystal wall layers and threw the Void Dragon shard inside.

The energy hub could extract the Void Dragon shard internally and absorb cosmic positive energy externally, nearly getting rid of the dependence on bio-electric energy.

……

"The Necron Dynasty didn't appear, but the Void Dragon shard came out instead."

"Those who play with fire get burned; the Necron Dynasty buried beneath the hive planet was backlashed by the Void Dragon."

Meng Yi reviewed the process of this battle, combined with the history excavated in the hive tower area, and analyzed the battle between the Mechanicus and the Necrons two hundred years ago more and more thoroughly and clearly.

"It must have been the Void Dragon shard playing tricks; the Void Dragon, which masters information and mechanical physical rules, is also the C'tan most likely to backlash against the Necrons."

"Backlash is good; that Necron force at the "Core World" level is now my trophy."

Rest time was exhausted; it was too late to rush back to the hive planet now.

Can only leave it for the next return to harvest the second big gift package.

[Hint: Remaining time until the derivative world view dungeon "Promotion Assessment" opens: 120 min; player "White Demon" is about to return to "Evolution Paradise."]

[Cross-dimensional teleportation begins!]

Capable of fighting the Emperor, a fully unsealed Void Dragon shard is Grade S.

Grade S is definitely not something he can fight; the construct rushed out by the Necron Dynasty could only let the Void Dragon shard exert Grade B++ output.

Having completed the "Positive: Planetary Field Framework," Meng Yi’s quality is already Grade A, but the quantity cannot reach it yet.

But dismantling a planet-killing construct and digging out the Void Dragon shard still in seal is something he can do.
