Chapter 261

The mechanical goddess's body, with radiance flickering all over, was being bombarded by streams of data from within.

Inside the brain-domain cultivation pool, Li Yu remained overlapped with Hong Dou's body, but his attention had already been drawn by the images projected by Hong Dou.

Inside, it was a battlefield.

The two sides locked in slaughter were, respectively, the Mechanical Apostle race and the All-Demi-Human Allied Forces on the Dead Star, the Demon Star Command Lords and the Reincarnators, plus one Brother Brother Shang Yang.

Although the "opportunity" that allowed the Allied Forces to form was, in reality, a scam.

It had indeed united all the Demi-Humans to fight the enemy together in a short period of time, not to mention the two great reinforcements: the Demon Star Command Lords and the Reincarnators, whose individual combat power was extremely formidable.

Consequently, the Mechanical Apostle race, which had always been invincible, encountered a huge setback on this Dead Star for the first time.

After the two sides began fighting, with the help of the crowd of Demon Star Command Lords and Reincarnators, the Apostles, who should have slaughtered all the Demi-Humans without a scratch, suffered continuous combat losses.

This vanguard army, possessing over a hundred "Mechanical Apostles," soon lost more than half its strength.

Of course, the losses on the opposing side were by no means small.

The Demi-Humans had once again had over a hundred races exterminated.

Flesh and blood flattened by gravity, corpse fragments shredded by rays... paved the battlefield.

A true purgatory was nothing more than this.

In the present world!

Such scenes were enough to scare all survivors into madness.

But in the Demi-Human star domain, all races were accustomed to it.

Death, extermination, torture, despair... were the background color and keynote of this universe.

Perhaps it was this style that had already transcended "factional prejudice," the infectious power of the epic of suffering, that made the Demon Star Command Lords and Reincarnators, who were originally like fire and water, willing to join forces to fight the enemy.

Currently, it looked like the effect was very good.

However, the one who truly played a key role was Brother Brother Shang Yang.

As the caller of the Allied Forces!

The initiator of the crusade!

He disguised himself as a God-Chosen of the Tiangong Sect to the Command Lords and Reincarnators.

To the Demi-Humans, he disguised himself as a Super-Star Being.

Although it was all lies.

But the warship he brought, publicly claimed to be the "Tian Shu," truly provided shelter.

There were no killing moves, nor did terrifying lethal weapons such as particle cannons or psionic cannons appear.

What there was, was just a technology.

Anti-gravity force field!

Because of him, the Mechanical Apostle race's most troublesome "gravity control" failed.

As long as they entered the range covered by the Tian Shu's force field, their combat power would plummet; technologies such as death rays and crushing collisions not only failed to exterminate the Demi-Human Allied Forces, but instead, their own side began to suffer combat losses one by one.

Before long, it seemed they were about to face the situation of being completely annihilated.

Although everyone knew that what was before them was only the vanguard army.

The Mechanical Apostle race's true main force and that mothership were still floating in the space outside the Dead Star.

They were currently blocking the sun.

But the long-lost taste of victory still made many Demi-Human races unable to help but cheer.

Not one person noticed anything wrong.

On the contrary, Li Yu, who was extremely far away, saw through Brother Brother Shang Yang's conspiracy at a glance just by following the clues.

Of course, as a mechanical lifeform possessing extraordinary wisdom, Hong Dou saw it even more clearly:

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Danger source related to the master detected; the target is the master's past enemy, 【Wisdom Star Command Lord Brother Brother Shang Yang】."

"The target is suspected of using some kind of conspiracy to bewitch a large number of lifeforms into working for him. The operational logic of this conspiracy is highly similar to the master's style of conduct. The target has 100% used the master as a training model and learned a certain essence. If no unexpected factors are inserted, the target will likely be able to complete the plan."

"The target is currently performing data pollution on over thirty combat-damaged individuals of the 【Mechanical Apostle】 race, and will complete an operation similar to soul-seizure."

"Half of these individuals have already been thoroughly polluted."

"The target is already a practitioner at the Sequence Five level of the Ancient Saint path. If he obtains the advanced technology of the Mechanical Apostle race, he may be able to quickly promote to Sequence Four."

"Because there is an irreconcilable feud and conflict between the target and the master, once the target is successfully promoted, he will pose a lethal threat to the master."

"Assessment complete!"

"Initiating destruction program."

"Brother Brother Shang Yang, must die."

Undoubtedly, while Hong Dou was becoming increasingly intelligent, Li Yu's excessive spirit-supplementing also caused her to frequently exhibit some highly human-like emotional expressions.

She just took an accidental look from afar, discovered that her master's mortal enemy was about to have his strength skyrocket, and directly sentenced the other party to death.

And because of the special state of the two of them now!

She could also perceive Li Yu's thoughts:

"Cannot let this mechanical turtle Brother Brother Shang Yang succeed; at this critical moment, take the opportunity to cause destruction."

"According to the clamoring this guy did in the Tianjiao Society star cluster earlier, once he is promoted, he will slaughter all lifeforms, including me and the other Demon Star Command Lords."

"This hint is too obvious; he will definitely choose to comply with the 【Life Rules】 of that race to reduce the difficulty of obtaining the Mechanical Apostle race's inheritance, which is to slaughter all cousins."

"The survival mission is a full seven days; there is simply nowhere to escape."

"Either he dies, or I perish."

As these thoughts emerged, Hong Dou also saved the effort of asking the master.

The next moment, she began to issue a series of brand-new instructions:

"Have taken over the Mechanical Goddess's body, most of the nervous system, data and defense walls have been established, and 70% control of this 【Divine Mechanical Body】 has been obtained."

"But because there are fallacies in the underlying operational logic of this body, and the mechanical origin has also been infected by some kind of high-radiation virus... linking with it and using it for a long time will form reverse pollution on Hong Dou, leading to changes in personality, triggering a chain reaction, and there is a certain probability of causing harm to the master."

"The side-effect-free usage time for this divine mechanical body is half an hour."

"Starting to adjust hostile targets!"

"The assassination of Wisdom Star Command Lord Brother Brother Shang Yang has the highest priority."

"Action starting!"

Accompanied by the final instruction, the Mechanical Goddess, who was still twisting and wriggling on the barren land like a freak,

suddenly changed direction and headed straight for the battlefield.

For the Species Nest Machine Mother!

She could not understand why Hong Dou made this move, but it did not hinder her intellectual brain from judging that holding back was beneficial to herself.

Consequently!

A large amount of scarlet data streams gushed out, once again bombarding Hong Dou's authority.

The instructions from both sides both appeared in chaotic conflict.

This made the Mechanical Goddess's already unsmooth movements even more bizarre.

Looking from afar, it was simply like a fallen divine entity after a failed mechanical ascension.

Because while twisting, crawling, and jumping, the Goddess's body would shake off a large number of evil insect corpses or filthy machine blood from time to time.

The scene was extremely bizarre.

Even though Li Yu was in the Goddess's brain-domain, he could not help but show surprise upon seeing this scene.

Of course, he was surprised.

The Demi-Human Allied Forces within the tragic battlefield, as well as the Command Lords and Reincarnators, felt great horror.

They had just defeated the Mechanical Apostle vanguard army!

In the blink of an eye, a brand-new mechanical giant had descended?

Moreover, it was far, far more terrifying than the Apostles.

In all fairness!

This "Mechanical Goddess," which had not yet been specifically named, had a kind of cold, dead silence and mechanical beauty in its appearance.

They were all heartless perverts; artificial intelligences that had become spirits like the Nest Mother and Machine Mother had much better aesthetics than the Modifier race.

But no matter how beautiful, she was still a mechanical giant.

Moreover, she was a crazy, alienated giant. When she twisted her limbs and wriggled out from the darkness in the distance.

This way of appearing!

And that sense of dead silence as if soaked in a sea of blood and a lake of souls, that kind of crazy feeling of destroying everything, made everyone dare not move.

Although the Demi-Human Allied Forces, as well as the Command Lords and Reincarnators, could simply judge from the appearance that this giant likely did not belong to the Mechanical Apostle race, it did not prevent them from falling into fear.

Who could have imagined such a development?

They had just united like an epic and defeated the arrogant, brutal, and peerless Mechanical Apostle race.

Suddenly, a mechanical evil god came?

Even the "Taboo Prince," who also came from a perverted and cruel world and believed in the Evil God, could not help but sigh in the language of his native world while mixed in the Allied Forces:

"What a cruel star domain!"

"The survival of Demi-Humans is even harder than that of Rat-Men."

Amidst the Taboo Prince's sigh, everyone's fear soon became a reality.

The next moment!

Without any warning, Hong Dou forcibly suppressed the Species Nest Machine Mother's sabotage and brazenly exercised her authority.

【Content omitted for brevity】

The Species Nest Machine Mother had previously demonstrated the innate defects of her type of artificial intelligence.

Now, Hong Dou demonstrated the opposing superiority.

Because she could only use this divine mechanical entity without cost for about half an hour, she did not suppress a shred of strength, nor did she have any step-by-step plan.

Right from the start, it was a terrifying mechanical divine ability.

"Enabling special function 【Thermonuclear Goddess Light Wheel】!"

"Full power!"

"What light wheel?"

While Li Yu was still puzzled, a terrifying scene had already appeared in the outside world.

The freak Goddess, who was still twisting and wriggling a breath ago, suddenly stood up and made a specific gesture with her giant mechanical hands.

Immediately, one could see the arm that had once transformed into the "Goddess's Blade" undergo a nuclear reaction again. Following the gushing nuclear energy and the explosion of radiance, a huge ring-shaped serrated halo was generated directly and was violently flung out by the Mechanical Goddess.

Earth-shaking?

No, the entire barren land was cut open along the way.

That shocking light wheel, after cutting open the earth, took a leap and suddenly landed on the "Tian Shu."

Sparks and nuclear explosions erupted simultaneously!

A skull-shattering collision sound resounded through the area.

The dark, hazy battlefield, which was only illuminated by the moon-like radiance of the Tian Shu, was now as bright as day.

Even in space, one could still see this burst of fireworks.

What is called a shocking change?

Clearly, this was it.

Not a single word of nonsense.

Not a single redundant movement.

Even though the Species Nest Machine Mother had been holding her back, Hong Dou still forcibly dragged her along.

Without a word, she raised her hand and unleashed the strongest divine ability she could use within her authority.

Li Yu, as the master, was also dumbfounded.

And vaguely felt, a bit of pain.

Although this was not the real Hong Dou, it was just her using the 【Mechanical Goddess's Body】.

But now, it did not mean that the Hong Dou of the future would not evolve into this.

"If Hong Dou references this thing, and when she evolves and transforms in the future, she shifts slightly in this direction."

"Then..."

In Li Yu's mind, some terrible images could not help but emerge.

What if he couldn't hold back and had some super-friendly relationship with others, such as the little nun Sister Miaochang, or Qingnv, Lady Ba, etc.

If Hong Dou also gave him such a "Goddess Light Wheel," that would be a sight to behold.

"Master, rest assured, Hong Dou will never harm you."

"Although according to the master's constitution, which is even more excessive than the 【Succubus race】, the fantasy will likely become reality."

"But Hong Dou still cannot cross the master-servant contract to take harmful actions against the master."

"......"

Just as Li Yu momentarily forgot that the two were still in a state of spiritual and physical unity, causing his inner fantasies to be glimpsed by Hong Dou.

Outside, another shocking change occurred.

The Tian Shu, which was the wandering warship of the Mechanical Necromancer race.

It took a "Thermonuclear Light Wheel" head-on, and everyone, including Li Yu, thought the warship would be cut in half.

Originally, it should have been so!

But Brother Brother Shang Yang's reaction was also fast to the extreme.

As a human who had successfully ascended mechanically, his computing power was far inferior to the Species Nest Machine Mother, but that kind of "intuition" that transcended logic was far too sharp.

Before the light wheel even appeared, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

He smelled the scent of his mortal enemy, Li Yu.

The experience of being pitted several times made him take a step ahead and make the correct choice.

Almost at the instant the terrifying light wheel slashed onto the warship!

Dozens of 【Mechanical Apostles】 that had already been successfully polluted and seized by him, regardless of their combat-damaged state, flew up simultaneously, gathered on the light wheel, and while resisting that shocking cutting force, also controlled gravity, attempting to pull the light wheel to shift direction.

Although the above attempt failed to stop the light wheel from slashing onto the warship.

But its power was weakened by half.

The remaining half, at the moment the light wheel cut open the warship's defense, was neutralized by a divine ability from outside the sky.

That was an invisible and infinitely extending force, coming from outside space, as if it were a "rope," extremely precisely tied directly onto the Goddess's light wheel, and then erupted with shocking power, forcibly pulling it away.

The light wheel, which was enough to cut open the earth, was just like that led away to outside the sky.

This change!

Once again, stunned everyone.

These "developments" on the battlefield had already transcended their imagination.

The Demi-Humans were fine, as they were always kept in the dark.

The Demon Star Command Lords and Reincarnators were none of them fools.

Seeing this scene, each of them gave birth to similar guesses, knowing that the controller of the shocking and terrifying Mechanical Goddess was likely not a native of the Mystic Domain, but a Command Lord or a Reincarnator.

And soon, they obtained a shocking and definitive answer.

The light wheel did not completely cut open the warship, but it cut out a very large wound.

At the opening, Brother Brother Shang Yang, whose whole body was special machinery and inlaid with gems, looked at the Mechanical Goddess with majestic dignity and asserted:

"Disaster Star Command Lord, Li Yu!"

"You have once again exceeded the prediction of the Sacred Nest's intellectual brain; this is incredible."

"Before entering the Mystic Domain, I originally thought the probability of you dying at my hands would be as high as 90%."

"But now, the probability seems to have reversed."

"There was no evidence or sign before that you possessed mechanical or technology-related power reserves."

"So, how did you obtain such a powerful mechanical body?"
