Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent explosions bloomed in the vacuum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reconnaissance fleets exploded in clusters within the sweeping torrent of mental force, turning into suspended metal debris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the tidal wave of mental force released by Brother Ming Hou did not cease, continuing to sweep across the boundless mechanical legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the defensive levels of different warships varied significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they were like ants or beetles stepped on by a human; in essence, it was an absolute crushing of insignificant existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rows of armed warships, frigates, and carrier cruisers... before this invisible power, were no different from those reconnaissance ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy shields urgently released by various warships popped like soap bubbles at the slightest touch, while the ship structures collapsed instantly under the crushing pressure of the invisible mental force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the command room of the core mothership, the highest-level alarm alerts completely shattered the Hub's confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the holographic star map in its mind, the blue dots representing the mechanical legion's combat units were extinguishing in clusters at a speed that filled it with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every red dot signified the destruction of a warship; these red dots spread like a crazily proliferating virus, originating from the silver-haired figure and rapidly expanding along the direction of the mental force impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed was so fast that the Hub's processing core could barely keep up with the statistical updates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few seconds, a fan-shaped zone of death appeared on the star map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red trajectories of combat losses were clearly outlined; everything the invisible force passed through, whether dense ship clusters, small mobile fortresses, or even large motherships... the cursors of all units turned from blue to red upon contact with the invisible power, then completely dimmed and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The returning data stream refreshed like a waterfall of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unit Lost: t-774 Assault Ship Cluster...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unit Lost: \"Bastion\" Type-III Frigate Array...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning: Massive spatial structure distortion detected...

mechanical wreckage formed a vortex of metal debris spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless steel fragments churned, collided, and rubbed against each other within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the invisible mental force continued to intensify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The debris scattered across the starry sky further decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, changing from huge chunks into small fragments, then from fragments into powder, and finally... completely annihilated, turning into metal dust that permeated the galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the sun's illumination, it resembled a sandstorm in the galaxy, dissipating a hazy glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was merely one raise of the hand by the silver-haired figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the feedback image received by the Hub, that figure had not moved even a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the originally sky-obscuring mechanical legion formation, capable of crushing the galaxy, now displayed a horrifyingly blank fan-shaped area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Brother Ming Hou in the image furrowed his brow slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had detected abnormal ripples and wrinkles in the surrounding space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Monster World, the small world where Earth resided inherently possessed fragile spatial strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of space's self-repair was far slower than his speed of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued to release the mental force, it would likely trigger a large-scale collapse of the spatial structure, or even generate vast zones of spatial turbulence or fissures, which would then endanger the blue Earth behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, at the very moment before his power was about to pour out again, he unhesitatingly retracted all his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began waiting for space to repair itself before making his move to end this farce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the terrifying pressure emanating from Brother Ming Hou receded like a Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the command room of the mechanical legion, the dark blue crystal carrying the Hub's consciousness flickered violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torrent of data feedback plunged it into a state of chaos beyond calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the silver-haired figure appeared, it had calculated a conclusion based on the information obtained from scanning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resistance meant only failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent's life intensity exceeded the theoretical upper limit of destruction achievable by all weapons of the mechanical legion, surpassing any known intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that even if the opponent stood there motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing its mechanical legion to bombard wildly, the final result would only be its own exhaustion of ammunition and supplies, while the opponent remained unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in this war, flight was the only choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had still underestimated the opponent's terrifying nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the \"indestructible\" physical strength, the opponent also wielded a terrifying power it could neither understand nor detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a raise of the hand, 3.29 million warships were destroyed in a manner that crushed everything before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Hub realized it had lost all meaning in continuing its calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack meant destruction, as the opponent possessed flawless physical defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flight meant destruction, as the opponent's power could easily crush space and even launch pursuits across spatial boundaries, leaving no escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It found it could not even find a clear direction to struggle; before this silver figure, it was so insignificant that only despair remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical legion it had spent decades accumulating resources to build was, perhaps in the opponent's eyes, nothing more than dust blocking the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the combat loss data compilation was complete, the last shred of luck in the Hub's heart was completely crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you unsealed the genetic technology?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing an inevitable defeat, the Hub seemed to have accepted its fate; the blue-haired little boy it generated looked calmly at the projection of the Star Net and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying combat power displayed by this silver figure was clearly not something that could be bred within a small world like Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixty years ago, when it dispatched the Mechanical Third Legion to descend upon Earth, it had conducted an extremely detailed scan and assessment of the planet's civilization combat level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this silver-haired figure had been present at that time, the Mechanical Third Legion would have been erased in an instant, without any power to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet back then, the Third Legion was able to engage in years of confrontation and clashes with the Earth Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it was evident that the silver-haired figure had clearly emerged within these past sixty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the collected data showed that Earth's environment was extremely barren, with a low energy level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fundamentally impossible to naturally breed spiritual materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Environmental limitations acted like an invisible cage, fundamentally ruling out any possibility of birthing such out-of-spec lifeforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the appearance of this silver-haired lifeform was extremely bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, it retrieved all information in its database, attempting to find an explanation for this impossible existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only theoretically feasible solution with an extremely small probability pointed to a taboo technique once personally sealed by the Source Core (Star Net): Genetic Modification Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those years, this technique had been one of the cornerstone technologies of the Pillar Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It allowed the life forms of Pillar Clan members to undergo leapfrog evolution, with individual strength, lifespan, and even adaptability to the environment improving exponentially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with the birth of Super Gene Warrior No. SSS111.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its emergence proved the infinite potential of genetic modification technology and even touched upon the possibility of mortals evolving into gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also granted Pillar Clan members the terrifying combat power to tear apart starships with their bare hands and flesh-and-blood bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But technological progress also brought an loss of identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the degree of genetic modification grew deeper and deviated further from the original genetic template, a sharp question was placed before the Source Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did thoroughly modified Pillar Clan individuals still count as members of the Pillar Clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having become the Hub, it had its own answer to this question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It believed that as the crystallization of Pillar Clan wisdom and technology, perfectly inheriting all knowledge of Pillar Clan civilization, it was itself a higher-level continuation of Pillar Clan civilization, while those native Pillar Clan members trapped in fragile flesh-and-blood bodies were merely metabolic waste on the road of civilization's evolution, destined to be eliminated in the process of advancing toward higher forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Source Core's understanding of \"civilization continuation\" remained bound to the genetic sequences of Pillar Clan members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the Source Core, the life continuity of Pillar Clan members was highly bound to the continuation of civilization and had to be inherited and defined through biological codes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any complete deviation from this meant the demise of the civilization entity itself, rather than evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful Super Warrior No. SSS111 had a genetic sequence with very low similarity to the original Pillar Clan, resembling more of a new race created based on the Pillar Clan blueprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core logic of the Source Core, which relied on genetic sequences for identification, thus became blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the view of the Source Core, every successful creation of a super warrior similar to the level of SSS111 was essentially equivalent to killing a true Pillar Clan member and replacing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fundamentally deviated from the original intention of its core law: \"to continue the spark of civilization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, to avoid the complete alienation of the race, the Source Core sealed the genetic modification technology, locking all related data deep away and prohibiting any further research on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the terrifying power displayed by this silver-haired figure made the Hub suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Source Core restarted the genetic modification program and achieved breakthrough results surpassing No. SSS111?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this hypothesis still struggled to explain the most fundamental contradiction: Where did the resources come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logical core of the Hub spun rapidly, attempting to find rationality within this speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1750,"2026-06-19T09:20:37.851Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
