Chapter 476: Infinite Mechanism (3/3)

"How is this possible? How did you do it!"

Self-Calamity was shocked in his heart.

He wanted to control the Infinite power wandering around Li Heng, but found no way to do so, as if he had never possessed this power, like an ordinary person suffering from delusions.

But this was clearly his power!

It was he who had painstakingly evolved and transformed to form the Infinite power!

But now...

"How did I do it?"

Li Heng crossed his arms over his chest, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with a smile.

"Isn't this what you gave me?"

"I gave it to you?"

Facing the questioning response from Li Heng, Self-Calamity was full of confusion. When had he ever given this creature Infinite power? And it was impossible for him to gift Infinite power to others!

"When I was devouring and modifying this Xin Linghai Yang, you didn't care at all about my frantic evolution and transformation. Doesn't that amount to handing yourself, and even everything you have, over to me on a silver platter?"

Li Heng laughed.

"But this... how is that possible!"

Self-Calamity expressed his lack of understanding; his heart was so agitated that he was running out of words. The reason he hadn't cared about Li Heng's frantic breakthrough earlier was mainly because he was confident that after breaking through, he could easily crush Li Heng with the Infinite power; it certainly wasn't about handing it over.

"There is nothing impossible."

"Only you are allowed to break through frantically, but I am not allowed to reap the rewards without effort?"

Li Heng responded with a smile.

Indeed, according to Self-Calamity's original plan, after breaking through to the Infinite level, he would indeed have been able to easily crush Li Heng. After all, the gap between the finite and the Infinite is despair-inducing, even if Li Heng had already seized Self-Calamity's Xin Linghai Yang.

It could be put this way.

The Xin Linghai Yang that Li Heng occupied was only the finite-level Xin Linghai Yang from before the breakthrough. Once Self-Calamity broke through to the Infinite and possessed the Infinite power, this finite-level Xin Linghai Yang would be directly diluted to zero in the face of the Infinite.

In that case, the Xin Linghai Yang he occupied would be as good as nothing, and naturally, he would be unable to control Self-Calamity in this way; it was the same principle as equity being diluted.

But this situation was predicated on Li Heng not having Source Power, whereas the fact was that Li Heng possessed Source Power, and he had even scattered some Source Power into the Xin Linghai Yang he controlled.

In this way, the status of the Xin Linghai Yang was infinitely elevated!

Even if it remained finite in terms of magnitude and could not compare to the true Infinite power, its status was high—so high that even Self-Calamity's Infinite power could not dilute it.

Because of the unique nature of Source Power, it even conversely suppressed the Infinite power, causing the Xin Linghai Yang controlled by Li Heng to thoroughly become the core of Self-Calamity.

It was equivalent to controlling the absolute equity.

In this way, the Infinite power that Self-Calamity had painstakingly transformed and evolved would be used by Li Heng, rather than obeying the commands of Self-Calamity himself.

Self-Calamity calmed down.

He knew he had capsized; this creature must be hiding something, and that hidden thing must be incomparably powerful, otherwise, the situation of a dove occupying a magpie's nest and making wedding clothes for others would not have occurred.

"You cannot kill me."

Self-Calamity spoke, giving up.

"Are you that confident? You should know that you were just as confident a moment ago, but what about now?" Li Heng replied with a smile.

"Because even if you control the Infinite power, this Infinite power still originates from me. If you kill me, this Infinite power will dissipate. Are you willing to let that happen?"

"Moreover, according to the 'Calamity is indestructible' characteristic you all speak of, even if you kill me, I can return. In that case, I would instead be able to break free from this control you somehow managed to establish and take control of the Infinite power."

Self-Calamity spoke eloquently.

"You won't think that way for long."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

He controlled the core of Self-Calamity and was fully capable of using his own thoughts and power to modify Self-Calamity, changing the Jinhua Sunchao within it into other trends of thought.

"I advise you not to thoroughly modify me, otherwise you will regret it."

"Although as a collection of evolutionary updates and iterations I really don't want to admit it, the reason I was able to break through to the Infinite level today is entirely because of that power I once embraced."

"If you modify me, that power will dissipate, and the Infinite power I evolved will also lose its foundation, becoming like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, unable to be used again. Are you willing to let that happen?"

Self-Calamity looked at the contemplative Li Heng.

He felt that he was gradually regaining the initiative.

Li Heng could understand these words from Self-Calamity.

It was nothing more than the fact that once the Jinhua Sunchao was modified, this Self-Calamity would lose his identity as a Calamity and thus lose that strange essence of a Calamity.

It was truly hard to say what would happen then.

It was just that, in this way.

This method seemed to be able to completely eliminate a Calamity.

And although this method was said to be very secretive, the Great Void was so vast that surely someone must have discovered it. Why did the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods still say that Calamity is indestructible? Could there be some hidden story behind it?

For example, perhaps it is very difficult to modify, or modifying it comes at a price.

Or perhaps it is merely treating the symptoms but not the root cause?

Watching Li Heng lost in thought for a long time without answering, Self-Calamity felt somewhat smug, thinking that perhaps his words had made this creature before him hesitate; this was a good start.

Sometimes words can also influence others; he would stall this creature for now, and then think of various ways to see if he could take back the Infinite power! He made a plan in his heart.

However, the next moment.

Li Heng returned from his state of contemplation.

He began to modify the core of Self-Calamity directly.

Although he controlled and modified the Xin Linghai Yang at the core of Self-Calamity, there was still the Infinite Xin Linghai Yang born from the breakthrough to the Infinite, which contained the infinite Jinhua Sunchao.

These also needed to be modified.

But fortunately, he currently controlled the Infinite power, so modifying the Infinite Xin Linghai Yang was also an easy task.

As for the method of modifying the Infinite level? It is just like having two bags, one bag having an infinite number of apples, and the other bag having an infinite number of bananas, but the quantities correspond one-to-one.

"Wait, you can't!"

Self Disaster sensed that it was being thoroughly modified, its expression extremely astonished, not understanding why Li Heng, who had been hesitant just a moment ago, had acted directly, and it opened its mouth to stop Li Heng.

However, these were merely powerless words.

As Li Heng set about modifying the Xin Linghai Yang of the Infinite, completely eradicating that demonic Jinhua Sunchao, the consciousness of Self Disaster also began to gradually blur, heading toward disappearance.

One old self disappeared, until the very last new self.

The final new self looked blankly at everything before it, discovering that Li Heng was still busy modifying the Xin Linghai Yang, not even looking directly at it, at it, the authentic Self Disaster.

At this moment, it understood.

So this living being had never cared about it?

Everything is destruction, what does it have to do with you?

It recalled all the civilizations and Worlds that had been devoured and destroyed by it in the past, and then it completely drifted away with the wind, turning into nothingness.

At this time, Li Heng raised his head.

Finally, the modification was complete.

Now the Jinhua Sunchao within had all been modified, devoured, and deleted by him; this Self Disaster, this extremely powerful Infinite power, had completely become his possession.

However, what that Self Disaster said just now did have some truth to it. With the disappearance of its consciousness, this powerful Infinite power also began to become unstable, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water, illusory.

Of course, it still could not stump Li Heng. By injecting a little Source Power to act as the True Reality core of the Infinite power, he immediately solved this problem. However, because of this, as long as he used the Infinite power, it would constantly consume the Source Power he had in reserve.

This could be considered a case of having gains but also losses.

Li Heng did not regret erasing the consciousness of Self Disaster.

After all, this Infinite power was ultimately that of Self Disaster; if he hadn't completely ground its consciousness to dust and modified the core, who knows what kind of trouble it would have caused.

Now, calling it Self Disaster was no longer appropriate.

After all, even the core had been modified.

He thought for a moment and decided to change its name.

Let's call it the 【Infinite Mechanism】.

Possessing Infinite power but having no thoughts of its own, merely serving as a tool for a living being—this could not be better.

After finishing all this, Li Heng fell into deep thought again.

The process of him modifying the core of Self Disaster had been very smooth, without encountering any obstacles, and he hadn't even used much Source Power during the process, yet he had theoretically solved the Disaster completely.

Such a simple method.

Why did those Heavenly Court Immortal Gods say that the Disaster could not be eradicated?

If just now he was purely thinking, now he wanted to investigate the truth; after all, he was the one controlling the Infinite Mechanism now, and if the Infinite Mechanism had any issues, he would also be implicated.

However, just when he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

The calm outside finally had some movement; following the support and power provided by those three monsters, the War Gospel completely broke its seal, its speed exceeding the expectations of the Golden Giant.

The Golden Giant now felt his scalp tingle, feeling somewhat afraid.

It's over, it's over, everything is over.

He hadn't yet pacified the chaos of the seals in the various regions, and the War Evil God had broken its seal before him; the power of the seals could not be recovered, so who would stop the War Evil God?

After the War Gospel broke its seal, it did not immediately attack the Golden Giant, but instead manifested its form as a mounted knight, just like the War Knight Li Heng had seen before.

It slowly galloped to the front of the original Self Disaster—now the main body of the Infinite Mechanism—and pulled the reins gently; the horse neighed softly, its meaning unclear, but it seemed to be in admiration.

The knight on the horse also nodded gently.

The Golden Giant looked anxiously at everything before him and swallowed his saliva. What to do? What should he do now! When he was pacifying the seals in other regions just now, he had also noticed that Self Disaster was undergoing a transformation, but unfortunately, he could not be in two places at once.

And now, the two Disasters had directly joined forces?

Even the weakest one had transformed into the Shengsheng Cengci.

This was truly going to be the death of him!

If he were dealing with the War Evil God, he was confident he could leave behind a whole corpse, but dealing with the War Evil God plus the evolved Self Disaster, he was confident he would die without a whole corpse.

Regarding this point, please do not doubt his confidence.

However, the next moment, with a slap.

A crisp sound rang out.

The War Gospel was caught off guard and sent flying away with a slap.

Li Heng controlled the Infinite Mechanism, transforming it into a human shape, and looked at his own palm with some helplessness. Sure enough, this Infinite power was truly difficult to control. And it seemed he had hit something just now?
