Chapter 252: The Mechanical Apostle
"After the Ruined Wandering Corpse Tribe obtained the technological inheritance, they restored signs of civilization in a very short time."
"But the planet where the race lived soon faced a survival crisis. In order to survive, they completely abandoned their flesh bodies, used a special metal as their new bodies, and turned their thinking and wisdom into 'Machine Souls,' thus achieving mechanical ascension for the whole race."
"It's just that their ascension was not active, but forced."
"They possess advanced technologies including 【Gravity Control】, 【Crossing the Star Sea】, 【Solar Black Sail】, etc., but their machine souls are not perfect, do not possess absolute rationality, and even went to the opposite side."
"They extremely stubbornly believe that they are the orthodox descendants of the primitive human race, and that this form of theirs is the only answer."
"Therefore, they formed a huge fleet, began to patrol planet after planet, and slaughtered all the 'sub-humans' existing on them."
"They are like another Remodeler Tribe!"
"Even, more brutal."
"Because the Remodeler Tribe focuses more on remodeling, they still allow the existence of flesh life forms and let them evolve and transform."
"But the Mechanical Apostles do not allow it."
"Every planet they pass through eventually becomes a true dead star."
"Even if they sometimes encounter some sub-humans who have evolved powerful abilities, the final winner is still them, because the Mechanical Apostle race also masters an extremely terrifying ability, which they call in their race: 【Star Fall】."
"The manifestation of this ability is that they drag other planets to collide with the target planet."
Just the information generated by the first question made Li Yu feel an extremely biting chill.
What kind of mechanical death god race is this?
The Remodeler Tribe is perverted, but these apostles are brutal lunatics.
Even the worshippers of the "Blood God," known as the most brutal evil god, only have a craving for slaughter and war, but do not pursue absolute death.
This group of metal spheres is simply death itself.
Yet, they are also ridiculously powerful.
Li Yu had long understood that the world he was reborn into could be called a hodgepodge of power, with all types of power.
He didn't think that the god-demon side was necessarily more powerful than the technology side.
In fact, the 【Mechanical Apostle】 race currently raging on this dead star masters technology-side power sufficient to slaughter many high-sequence powerhouses.
For example, the so-called Star Fall supernatural power; can a Sequence Four or Sequence Three powerhouse withstand the impact of a planet?
In all likelihood, they cannot.
This also completely broke the "immortality halo" on Li Yu; even if he didn't die again, he couldn't survive under such a blow.
What's more, it wouldn't even reach Star Fall; Li Yu was certain that if he were surrounded and killed by several Mechanical Apostles, with gravity fields superimposed to the point where he couldn't offset or escape, and then they took turns using death rays to destroy his body, completely evaporating it, or exhausting all his lifespan, he would naturally be unable to resurrect again.
Thinking of this, Li Yu became even more urgent.
In his mind, questions erupted.
The most critical question was naturally: what are the weaknesses of the Mechanical Apostle race?
Detailed secrets and answers began to emerge one after another:
"Although the Mechanical Apostle race is controlled by terrifying obsessions, apart from that, they possess all the characteristics that a civilization should have."
"And because the mechanical ascension is not thorough enough, their individual members all retain independent thinking."
"Just like individual individuals in the human race, they have different lives, thoughts, and souls."
"Therefore, they have gradually split internally."
"Some 【Moderate Faction】 are rising, and they are gradually beginning to wonder if this large-scale exclusionary genocide is really completely correct?"
"Their machine souls can be polluted, which is one of the weaknesses."
"But first, one must break through that special metal shell that is almost impossible to destroy."
"They have an irrational fear of the long-standing source of disaster, the 【Remodeler Tribe】, which is also one of the weaknesses."
"They cannot cope with a zero-gravity environment."
"Their thinking is all stored in the quantum computer inside the sphere; once the defense is broken, they cannot resist any attacks like mechanical viruses."
Li Yu originally thought that such a heaven-defying race had almost no weaknesses.
But looking at it this way, there were unexpectedly many.
Although still very difficult to deal with and terrifying.
But after Li Yu pondered carefully, several methods soon brewed in his mind.
Counter-killing might not be possible, but there was a good chance of saving his life.
While Li Yu lowered his evaluation of the "Mechanical Apostle race," he suddenly thought of some not-so-good things.
Brother Brother Shang Yang!
He had actively provoked Brother Brother Shang Yang for an alibi and followed him here.
From the beginning, Li Yu knew that Brother Brother Shang Yang had actively locked onto the 【Desperate Dead Star】, a large Mystic Domain with a nightmare difficulty level, with the goal of being promoted to Sequence Four.
The Sacred Nest and even the ancient evil god behind him must have contributed effort.
When he first descended on the dead star, Li Yu thought that Brother Brother Shang Yang's goal for this trip should be the Remodeler Tribe.
But at this moment, he changed his mind.
"This guy Brother Brother Shang Yang, he wouldn't be eyeing the Mechanical Apostles, would he?"
"The Remodeler Tribe is too fierce; for Brother Brother Shang Yang, a mere Sequence Five Chosen, to go up against them is almost like seeking death."
"Although the Apostles are also extremely terrifying, their weaknesses seem very obvious."
"Both strong and weak!"
"Once Brother Brother Shang Yang breaks through the sphere defense of the Mechanical Apostles, their 【Machine Souls】 will also completely fall into Brother Brother Shang Yang's hands. Since both have undergone mechanical ascension, the strength of their machine souls is not in the same dimension."
"Brother Brother Shang Yang already possesses a Mechanical Death God race warship; if he gets a group of Mechanical Apostles, or even the kind of warship of the Apostle race that can block the sun and drag small stars, wouldn't his strength take a step to the sky?"
These thoughts were guesses.
But Li Yu was certain that this was Brother Brother Shang Yang's plan.
Regarding this, he was not surprised but happy.
In his eyes and on his face, there was an eager look.
"This trip was worth it."
"If this guy Brother Brother Shang Yang really leaps to that level, he will definitely choose to kill me."
"Well, he might not have before I provoked him, but now he definitely will."
"Must not let him succeed; find a way to ruin his affairs."
"Find Hongdou first!"
In the blink of an eye, Li Yu made a decision.
However, before setting off, he took the time to stare at the forbidden child again.
Secret information is the more the better.
This glance also had a harvest.
"Forbidden Child!"
"A prince from a foreign land, born in taboo and impurity, he possesses an almost flawless body, and coupled with his twisted, cruel, and conceited personality, he has become one of the most favored Chosen of the god Slaanesh."
"In multiple blessings, he has obtained various powerful abilities, including eternal youth, immortality, etc."
"He looks like just a teenager, but his lifespan has actually exceeded three hundred."
"Besides indulging in pleasure, he also has an abnormal craving for human flesh, so he was expelled by his original kingdom and his father, but he later waited for an opportunity to complete the act of patricide."
"Because he is the most favored, the mark of the god Slaanesh is constant in his body."
"As long as the attack intensity does not exceed Sequence Two and cannot kill him in an instant, the will of the god Slaanesh will descend."
"And, even after death, his soul will not be extinguished because of the blessing of the True God, thus retaining the possibility of resurrection."
"His Command Lord code is 【Nieshing】." "Good, good, good, another Chosen protected by an evil god personally; civilian cultivators simply cannot play against these things."
When Li Yu complained, the progress of the twenty-second truth bubble at his eye membrane jumped forward again.
Apparently, the secret from the foreign land was judged to be of a high level.
The background of this forbidden child was actually stronger than the Chosen of the City Lord's Mansion.
If Li Yu was willing to contact and successfully steal the law, he could steal the divine power of the god Slaanesh in the future.
If he superimposed the divinity of the god Wo, Li Yu even suspected that he wouldn't need to add any points; the "Charm" he mastered could directly enter an over-limit state.
Perhaps, he could even charm a god.
However, Li Yu was a bit worried about Hongdou's safety at this time and didn't intend to delay any longer.
Turning his head to look at all directions, he asked in his heart: "Where is Hongdou?"
This was another attempt he made on the authority of the Truth Soul Body.
(No content lost, reading on!)
Whether he could get an answer without peeping at the relevant entity.
The result that surprised him was quickly fed back.
In Li Yu's mind, a directional guide suddenly appeared.
Very clear, not vague at all.
If Li Yu were not in the soul body state, he would definitely exclaim with joy at this moment: "Good bubble, in terms of status and authority, it will never let me down."
As of now, whenever it comes to the performance of authority, Li Yu's Truth Soul Body has always crushed everything.
Even the two great artifacts that have broken free from the control of the righteous and evil gods are far inferior.
At least the bubble can directly see through the "Demon Star Code" of that forbidden child.
But the Demon Star Command doesn't know about the existence of the bubble at all.
And Li Yu has already dealt with quite a few "True Gods," and so far no god has discovered the bubble, including existences like Wanbian, Chan Shen, Buddha, and Dimu, who are also strong among the gods.
Of course, the bubble's ability is limited by Li Yu himself.
It is extremely powerful in status, but it still cannot allow Li Yu to cross too many sequences in one go and do some outrageous things.
For example, now!
Li Yu wanted to find Hongdou and reunite with his maid.
Unfortunately, he first had to protect himself.
Just after getting the guide, Li Yu was about to combine man and sword again, turning into an invisible sword light, and rushing towards that direction.
It was just that he had only shot out for a hundred miles when he almost crashed into a terrifying gravity field that had already formed and was lowering the altitude of the earth bit by bit.
In that field, two 【Mechanical Apostles】 were slaughtering all living things on the ground below.
Death rays filled the sky, falling like a rainstorm.
The victims this time were a sub-human species called "Insect Human."
Their population was huge, inhabiting the underground, and their appearance was like humanoid worms that were unbearable to look at, ugly and primitive.
They were being crushed out in large numbers by the gravity field, just like squeezing a pus bag on the earth, easily squeezing out strip-like things that looked like filthy grease, and then exploding them with death rays.
At the same time, the familiar mechanical voice was also echoing:
"Flesh life form... judged as not existing... executing erasure program!"
"New sub-human species scanned... target is fleeing..."
When that last mechanical voice rang out, Li Yu had already driven the invisible sword light and bypassed it for dozens of miles.
Unfortunately, he soon crashed into a new, even larger gravity field.
The number of Mechanical Apostles skyrocketed to three.
The victims on the ground below, besides two sub-human species called "Giant Demon" and "Sheep Human."
There were two more Demon Star Command Lords and one reincarnator.
Judging from the Qi remaining in the corpse fragments, they were all Sequence Five.
However, they were all dead.
This was not surprising; Li Yu had expected it long ago.
Ordinary Sequence Five cultivators simply couldn't withstand the combined attack of gravity field and death rays, especially since the defense of the murderer was also at a perverted level.
Looking at the slaughter scene ahead, feeling the two Mechanical Apostles chasing from behind.
If it were the usual Li Yu, he would already be cursing in his heart.
Right now, he was very rational.
"The invisible sword light can allow me to enter a hidden state, but it cannot make my flesh body truly turn into complete nothingness."
"That is to say, there is still mass."
"Under the coverage of the gravity field, I will have nowhere to hide."
"More and more Mechanical Apostles are descending, and the gravity field released by each apostle can cover a very large area... if this continues, it won't be long before the entire planet is swept by them. If I just rely on hiding, it's impossible to hide for seven days."
"Can only use a life-saving method first."
"Although it will fail later, at this stage, it will definitely work."
When these thoughts flashed through Li Yu's mind.
The next moment, he was exposed.
Pincer attack from front and back, a full five Mechanical Apostles simultaneously looked at Li Yu's location with those malicious mechanical eyes.
"Flesh life form detected!"
"Judged as a life form that should not exist... not human orthodox... erasure program starting..."
Along with the mechanical voice, Li Yu's catastrophic disaster also came.
Five times gravity field!
Suppressed from the air.
It seemed that they wanted to press Li Yu into a meat patty in an instant.
However, the next moment, Li Yu took the initiative to appear.
However, it was not in his original appearance as a human in the present world.
He transformed!
Human?
No, Li Yu relied on his absolute control over his flesh body to complete an extraordinary disguise in an instant.
There were no clothes on his body, his glazed flesh turned into a pale torso, twisted and weird, with dozens of tentacles of different shapes either drooping or dancing.
On his back, six insect wings flashing with starlight grew out.
On his large head, a pair of terrifying compound eyes that could absorb all light were born.
What erupted along with it was the kind of indifference that surpassed all things, the infinite malice towards all life, and the arrogance and conceit that the Mechanical Apostles were very familiar with.
That's right!
Li Yu "reconstructed" himself into the nightmare of all races on this planet, and even in this universe.
Remodeler Tribe!
When he slowly floated up with this brand new torso.
Those five metal iron balls, the five Mechanical Apostles, exploded at meteorite speed in an instant, and in a series of sonic booms, they fled.
Only a few mechanical voices containing panic remained at the scene:
"Detected 【Remodeler Tribe】, triggered the highest level of danger, executing escape program."
