Chapter 593: 212. Vanguards Descend

[Canyue] Arcane Energy instantly triggered, and Turing Radix was immediately reduced to a lower dimension, thrown into two-dimensional space.

As a high-risk Sequential Arcane Energy, the most dangerous aspect of [Canyue] was its absolute crushing force against the weak. Opponents not of the same rank stood no chance against [Canyue], and any resistance would be feeble and ineffective, ultimately leading to their capture and sealing in the two-dimensional world.

The problem with Canyue was also very apparent.

In cases of low development, [Canyue] lacked direct lethality. When dealing with equally strong opponents, it could only be as flexible as Canyue himself but lacked aggression.

"If both senators could be taken out first, it would impact the Descendance of the main body of the [Mechanical World Society]..."

Even though he struck first, Li Aozi’s situation was not easy.

Just as Li Aozi’s attack landed, Zeta Rank Quantum Mechanism Senator Watt Torque suddenly activated.

Its body instantly became quantum, leaping into the surrounding space. Here, the laws of time and space had been rewritten. Its body simultaneously possessed the properties of particles and waves, freely jumping and colliding, then ejecting and leaving a series of oscillating trails. In such a domain, time and space were just a discrete, energy-filled non-physical entity, and Li Aozi’s freezing technique was ineffective here.

Li Aozi immediately activated the [Eye of Truth]—however, this action created an ’observation,’ altering the spacetime where Watt Torque resided.

When he viewed Watt Torque’s information panel, the information was already disrupted, and new data had been generated.

Eventually, the only thing remaining on Li Aozi’s observation panel was a mass of meaningless information.

[Tsk—I haven’t studied "Quantum Spacetime Studies," and neither Gravity nor Canyue is properly developed...]

Thinking this in his mind, Li Aozi wasted no time, sweeping with gravity in an attempt to capture the opponent’s form.

Unlike the direct dimensional crossing state of Canyue, gravity could transcend space and time, which was basic knowledge taught to Li Aozi.

The Quantum Domain certainly had gravity, but knowledge of quantum gravity and quantum spacetime belonged to advanced occupational knowledge within the "Starry Abyss." Li Aozi had not encountered nor had the ability to learn it.

Therefore, Li Aozi decided to rely on his extensive gaming experience to solve the problem.

Gravitational waves swept across, transcending various spacetime dimensions, radiating ripples outward.

"—Hmph, using gravity for a saturation attack? Truly laughable. What effect could such brute force, lacking any precision, have?"

Watt Torque immediately detected Li Aozi’s attack, but the imprecise gravitational pressure caused it only minor discomfort, merely making the time and space more chaotic.

Li Aozi entered combat mode. With the [Eye of Truth] unable to trace the opponent, he decisively deployed a new tactic:

Canyue Dimensional Barrier!

He extended his hands outward, tearing the ground to lay down an invisible wall that couldn’t be crossed. In an instant, all firepower was isolated outside the barrier.

"Run all you want," Li Aozi said calmly, "Let me see how long you can keep running."

’What is this guy trying to do?’

Watt Torque faintly sensed something, and the emotional module output showed unease as the data network rapidly analyzed.

’Not good—Council!’

Li Aozi hooked a finger.

Time resumed its flow.

The Dimensional Barrier collapsed, and countless mechanical troops were instantly crushed into two-dimensional space, losing their firepower network. The celestial body plummeting from above descended even more recklessly toward the ground!

’No way!’

Watt Torque hurriedly leaped out of the Quantum Domain, his form expanding rapidly. Jets fired from his back, propelling him at terrifying speed to intercept the falling meteorite.

However, despite his swift reaction, he couldn’t outrun gravity.

Li Aozi tore through the spacetime ripples, instantly teleporting in front of Watt Torque. As the opponent braved the danger and reached out toward the intensely fiery meteorite, Li Aozi abruptly stepped from the rift, unceremoniously kicking Watt Torque in the face!

Boom!

Watt Torque’s form was immediately sent flying. In the crucial moment, he raised both arms, his wrists flipping open to reveal launch rails. The next moment, two dazzling rockets were fired, deeply embedding into the meteorite’s side. The drill on top began to rotate, and thrusters spewed flames, altering the meteorite’s trajectory.

This was the limit of what he could achieve under Li Aozi’s control of spacetime, given his Zeta Rank attributes.

But before Watt Torque could relax, Li Aozi’s voice suddenly rang in his earphones:

"What are you looking at!"

Quantumization!

Watt’s electronic eyes instantly contracted, and his mechanical parts rapidly compressed, plunging him into the Quantum Domain in an instant.

Whoosh!

The fierce blade missed its target, and Li Aozi clicked his tongue in annoyance.

[Lacking Epsilon Stage accumulation, my attributes are still significantly inferior compared to Zeta Rank.]

It was a complete disparity in attributes. Even with countermeasures in hand, the Mechanical World Senator, equivalent to Zeta Rank, could still manage to escape.

As a result, his direct airborne assault to destroy the Mechanicus Council in one fell swoop had failed.

"Leoz... that guy is a senator. You’re no match for him."

Zaniya said worriedly:

"The societal atmosphere here is too intense, and the Primordial Matter is almost solidly overflowing. In such an environment, the enemy holds all the advantages, and we cannot contend with an entire regiment."

"No."

Li Aozi thrust his longsword into the ground, standing atop the mountain peaks. Behind him, the meteor fell from the sky, blazing with searing, dazzling light, straight into the Mechanicus Council’s factory facilities.

Rumble...

The ground trembled violently. The powerful shockwave created a horrifying sound effect that shattered eardrums in an instant. The brilliance, akin to the explosion of hundreds of atomic bombs, illuminated the dark night sky. The distant ocean roared, and even the echo of the explosion resonated a million kilometers away in space.

"It’s our powerful military force against the cancerous cells of the Mechanical World!"

Meteor fragments scattered, spewing scorching flames. The savage Power of Catastrophe inflicted unprecedented disaster upon the Society Citizens working on the ground. Factory after factory was crushed and destroyed, and the Echo Force mixed in the shockwave spread repeatedly, making it a deadly tactic for such large-scale constructions.

The Citizens of the Mechanical World climbed out of the ruins. As machines, they felt no fear. Their consciousness was stored in the Mechanicus Council, and under absolute orders, they quickly regrouped, forming dense formations, orderly repairing factory sequences, mobilizing troops, and rescuing each other.

However, this calamity was merely the opening act.

When the meteor completely exploded, raising the acrid smell of sulfur in the air and scattering the scorching radiation, burning and distorting the steel-covered ground.

Clang~ Clang~

[Mashigang needs me, I make contributions to the Mechanical World, no pay is no problem, labor is good life, buzz buzz buzz...]

A Mechanical World Miner swung his hammer diligently, his mind continuously playing the self-composed synthetic tune of logical programs.

As an ordinary citizen, when disasters struck, he naturally couldn’t shirk his duty. He was working hard to salvage precious production materials from the ruins, preparing for the safety of the council and the Descendence of Mashigang.

However, as this Mechanical World Citizen was working without distraction, his visual sensors captured something different from alloys and polymers—flesh.

Drip, drip...

Thick, wet, crimson liquid slowly spread out from his feet.

Buzz.

The Mechanical World Miner lifted his head, following the spreading source of the blood sea. His monitoring probe slowly rotated, scanning over the remnants of the ravaged battlefield, ignoring the busy transport drones, and moving towards the meteor’s impact site—

Splat!

A strong Implant Gear arm pressed against his monitoring probe. The blood pressure pump instantly exerted force, crushing the mining machine in a moment.

Huff... Huff...

A heavy breath echoed, and a towering and terrifying figure decloaked, emerging from the flames with an imposing presence.

Sss...

A 2.5-meter-tall Growth-armored Vanguard’s shoulder blade exposed an opening, spraying fire suppressant to gradually extinguish the flames on his body, revealing the organic armor and red-black crystal inlays. The operator tilted his head, and the face armor opened, revealing the surprised face of the Board Game Society’s president—Dragon Ground City:

"Oh wow—this thing is utterly brutal against these Beta-rank robots."

He spoke as he operated the Implant Gear, expelling a crimson liquid like blood. The [Bloodline] Arcane Energy provided a full 300 points of [Strength] attribute, surpassing even the output of an aircraft carrier’s power.

But that’s not all.

Quickly, numerous combat machines noticed the massacre event happening here. They reacted lightning-fast, dispatching a large number of Autonomous Mech-Soldiers within a second. These killing machines, akin to wolves, possessed absurd range and automatic targeting abilities. Dragon Ground City had barely shown his head before being bombarded with lasers and wandering explosives.

Round after round of bombardment landed on Dragon Ground City, but on his information panel, only pitifully low damage numbers appeared: -1, -4, -19 (critical hit)...

"Ah, the firepower is intense..."

Though the actual damage was negligible, not even enough to call it scraping, the visual obstruction and kinetic force from the bombardment couldn’t be ignored. The resilience of the Implant Gear wasn’t high, and soon, it was suppressed by the artillery, unable to advance.

"Let me see, uh, so many skills, Bio-Plasma Cannon, Chemical Element Flamethrower, Hormone Communication, Armor-Piercing Bone Spike... so complicated! Let’s try this one!"

Dragon Ground City casually raised his arm.

[Internal Arcane Energy: Crescent Moon: Dimensional Bombardment]

The palm of his hand cracked open like a blooming flower, revealing clear blue brilliance within.

The power of the Crescent Moon eliminated the spatial distortion in front of his palm, then exhaled a dazzling ring outward.
