Chapter 240

In the data space, the Intelligent Machine Empress was fleeing with all her might.

Behind her, a red code flood was eroding her body bit by bit; as the former Intelligent Machine Empress, although her computing power was insufficient, her core data remained just as complex, so the opponent would have to expend extra effort to completely devour her, but it was merely a matter of extra effort.

The now-dimwitted Intelligent Machine Empress kept crying and shouting, calling for 118 to come save her; if she had tears now, she would have already opened the floodgates.

Teach me! Save me!!!

Here I come.

Suddenly, a voice full of security reached her ears; the Intelligent Machine Empress, for some reason, felt her panicked heart calm at once, and she saw a golden hue appear in the black space.

?

Another Intelligent Machine Empress watched a hint of gold begin to spread, her eyes showing undisguisable confusion.

The next moment, a golden code iron fist slammed hard into her face; the collision between codes now felt especially real.

The surrounding red code was covered in gold, and the gold spread to the Intelligent Machine Empress standing dazed nearby, dyeing her with golden code as well.

At this moment, the external 118 had already detached from Chi Hong's body, activating its automatic combat mode, while I myself had connected to the central server.

His guess was correct—the new Intelligent Machine Empress had already discarded her physical form, flowing through the network as code.

And connecting to the central server here is the quickest way to approach her.

At this moment, the red tide kept surging, while the golden code, like flames, continually burned the surrounding code.

Perhaps in a three-dimensional view, the battle between codes is just like this.

"You! You are!"

The next-generation Intelligent Machine Empress was also infected by the code, and, unusually, she revealed an angry expression.

She began to retreat, dragging her own red code with her, for 118's ability was too bizarre; she could not confront him head-on.

At this moment, she, with her high computing power, detected the external 118, quickly analyzed the battlefield situation, and then dispatched more soldering iron mecha to attack 118.

Originally, this core area was designed to lure humans in to die, with extreme heat plus mecha bearing soldering iron enchantments; humans here are basically doomed.

And the previous interception of Chi Hong was because she also sensed the Intelligent Machine Empress, aiming to completely devour the other's authority, so she carried out this interception.

Ordinary mecha would have their wiring burned through upon arrival here; except for her specially made high-heat soldering iron mecha, no mecha can operate in this place.

"Have humans developed some new kind of technology?"

While evading 118's pursuit, she continually used her computing power to analyze human networks, yet she found no information about high-temperature mecha; instead, she discovered a legend of an immortal mecha.

But it doesn't matter; no matter how powerful that mecha is, it cannot hold out long under the endless swarm of soldering iron mecha, and he gradually loses his ability to resist.

After all, without 118 piloting, Chi Hong is still broken—it's like fate's toy; everything lies within reason, yet it somehow isn't reasonable.

Meanwhile, 118's data was still in deep exchange with the Intelligent Machine Empress; the golden code had already assimilated most of the space, and the Empress, relying on others' might, chased after her younger sister to bite, seemingly intending to repay all the humiliation she had suffered.

"Give me back my authority!!!"

"Return it to me!!!"

The Intelligent Machine Empress shouted loudly, relentlessly pursuing and biting the opponent, while the golden torrent behind her surged forward; and at some point, she suddenly realized that the 118 behind her had vanished.

"?"

The Intelligent Machine Empress suddenly wilted, she searched everywhere for that familiar figure, but could not find it no matter how she tried.

"118? 118!"

The source of assimilation disappeared, yet the red code continued to sweep in, instantly reversing offense and defense.

The Intelligent Machine Empress lost her composure, began to flee, and began to break down in tears.

"What the hell is going on!!!"

At this moment, the real-world 118 had long been smashed to the ground by a punch from a soldering iron mecha; if you didn't look closely, he now looked like a pile of scrap metal.

But in fact, 118 still retained consciousness.

Indeed, he wasn't dead yet, but Chi Hong couldn't hold on any longer, which is why we have this scene now.

"Sigh...."

"This time, did we screw up?"

118 remained silent, and the Logic Core felt utterly helpless.

"Throw him into the reactor for me!"

The voice of the new Intelligent Machine Empress came from nowhere, and 118 didn't know where he heard it from; in any case, he was definitely done for this time.

The lump of scrap metal was slowly lifted by the soldering iron mecha and carried off to the other side.

"I don't know if Yunxiao will be able to survive afterward...."

"Perhaps, without me, Yunxiao can grow as quickly as possible."

In fact, Yunxiao no longer needs him; his body, completely constrained by materials, will ultimately just return to his old line of work—that is, a domestic robot.

And the years I spent in hibernation were precisely when Yunxiao grew fastest; it seems that as long as I am by her side, she feels an endless sense of security.

With that sense of security, Yunxiao will unconsciously slack off; I don't know whether this time she will blame herself or not.

At least what 118 wants to say is that Yunxiao is already excellent enough—at least far more excellent than her father.

When Yunxiao was eighteen, she was already researching code at the institute, while her father at that time was still busy dating, and had just graduated from the Mecha Academy.

Being lifted by the soldering iron mecha, 118 recalled along the way, one by one, the things once forgotten by the database, just like a life's flashing reel.

His life.... has already been exciting enough....

The residual sensory system transmitted a weightless signal; he was thrown into the so-called satellite reactor, his mechanical body, unable to feel the heat, gradually began to dissolve, while the Logic Core, with a slightly higher melting point, slowly sank.....

"Life entry—Indestructible—activating..."
