Chapter 352: Zeroers, a Rotting Reunion!

That icy mechanical sound had just fallen.

It gave Sun Wukong and Yao no time to react!

Boom—!

A gray light beam, thick enough to instantly vaporize ordinary stars, suddenly shot out from deep within the ruins!

The beam contained no law fluctuations and no energy aura.

There was only the purest, coldest terrifying will, aimed at utterly erasing everything!

Its target was Sun Wukong and Yao!

Great Sage!

Yao gasped, her face instantly turning deathly pale!

Sun Wukong's gaze suddenly hardened!

He didn't even have time to think—his body's instinct reacted.

He grabbed Yao and pulled her behind him, using his broad back to shield her from everything!

At the same time!

The grayish-white iron rod in his hand buzzed with excitement!

No retreat!

No dodging!

Sun Wukong stepped into the void, advancing instead of retreating, and smashed his rod down onto the gray beam that could annihilate everything!

Break it for me!

Boom——!!!!

The iron rod and the beam violently collided in this deathly silent ruin!

An indescribably violent energy storm instantly erupted!

That shockwave, like a world-ending surge, madly swept in all directions!

The surrounding floating, enormous black wreckage was blasted open into a large vacuum zone by the energy storm's scouring!

Even the distant violent chaos turbulence was temporarily forced back by this power!

Sun Wukong's figure shuddered violently in the void!

A mighty, irresistible force surged wildly along the iron rod!

He felt only a slight numbness in his arm!

That power…

So strong!

A huge wave instantly rose in Sun Wukong's heart!

For the first time, a hint of genuine astonishment appeared in his blood-red eyes!

Although this strike's power still couldn't match his own, it was already no less than that of Hongjun, who once burned everything!

What the hell is this thing?!

Just a gatekeeper program, and it has this kind of power?!

When the violent energy storm gradually dissipated.

A huge figure, taking heavy steps, slowly walked out from the shadows deep within the ruins.

That was a giant, tens of thousands of feet tall, its entire body made of some unknown dark-gold metal.

Its design was full of cold, precise technological feel, with smooth lines yet full of power.

However.

At this moment, this metal giant that should have been flawless appeared utterly ruined.

Its body was covered in large patches of ugly, rust-like gray spots.

Those spots, constantly wriggling as if alive, emitted an aura of decay and termination that made even one's divine soul tremble!

The moment Sun Wukong saw its appearance.

His blood-red pupils suddenly contracted into the most dangerous pinpoints!

This guy…

He knows him!

Or rather, they have crossed hands!

Exactly the final cleanup program that once called itself the Cosmic Pan-Consciousness!

The one ordered to completely erase all 'failed conceptions,' including himself, the ultimate executioner——

Zeroers!

Is it you?!

Sun Wukong's voice was icy and bone-chilling.

He never expected to meet this old adversary again here!

But soon he sensed something was off!

The Zeroers before him was in a very wrong state!

The aura emitted by those ugly gray rust spots on its body was completely the same as that of the earlier 'Absolute Malice' apostle and the rust spot on his own arm!

This guy…

It has been corroded!

Contaminated by that behind-the-scenes dog scum!

The Zeroers' huge metal head slowly turned.

Its electronic eyes, which should have been pure reason, now flickered with a mad, chaotic scarlet light.

Its gaze would sometimes lock onto Sun Wukong with icy killing intent.

Then it would suddenly turn toward the deeper part of the wreckage behind it, its eyes showing a hint of struggle… and… protection?

Two utterly contradictory emotions coexisted strangely within it!

It seemed as if its core program was executing two supreme orders of equal priority, yet utterly opposite!

This plunged it into a kind of logic dead loop on the verge of collapse!

Indeed!

Sun Wukong understood it clearly in his heart.

This Zeroer was not willingly serving that hidden master!

It was more like a pitiful puppet, its will forcibly twisted and its core corrupted!

One used as a jailer to guard the Master's Dao Heart!

Just then!

The Zeroer spoke again.

Its voice was broken and filled with the harsh electrical noise of logical conflict!

Like an old machine about to be totally scrapped, it emitted a final, unwilling roar!

"Execute…… erase…… erasure protocol……"

"Target…… variable…… Sun…… Sun Wukong……"

Its electronic eyes locked firmly onto Sun Wukong, the will to utterly erase him crystal clear!

But the next second!

"Prohibit……"

"Any…… existence…… approaching……"

"Core…… seal…… seal……"

Its gaze then snapped back toward the rear, the protective will just as resolute!

"Warning…… warning……"

"Logic…… conflict……"

"Restart…… failed……"

"Error…… error……"

"Zap——!"

A sharp electrical explosion burst from within it!

The Zeroer's massive frame shuddered violently!

In its frantic, flashing scarlet electronic eyes, all struggle and contradiction vanished in that instant!

Replaced by a sheet of icy, absolute, emotionless……

Deathly Silence!

After failing to resolve the logical conflict, its core program seemed to choose the crudest, yet simplest, method!

Abandon thought!

Execute the final order!

"Activate……"

"Supreme…… combat…… mode!"

"Whoooom——!!!"

The moment the words fell!

This deathly silent wasteland erupted completely!

The countless war puppets that had long locked onto Sun Wukong and Yao!

Their bodies bristled with countless gunports like a beehive, all flaring at once with a terrifying scarlet light!

Not only that!

The corroded Zeroer's massive metallic body began to emit a grating "clack-clack"!

Its chest, shoulders, arms…… countless armor plates opened layer by layer!

What emerged was a pitch‑black, likewise scintillating with destructive light, a far more terrifying caliber main cannon!

In an instant!

Millions of gunports!

From all directions, from heaven and earth, from every angle!

Locking onto Sun Wukong and Yao completely!

That pure killing intent, existing solely to erase, condensed into a substantive storm, nearly freezing this spacetime solid!

A senseless, saturation‑style devastation!

Imminent!
