Chapter 606: 222. Heroes Garden

The foot soldiers of the Heroes raised their swords and shields, silently trampling the mundane earth, colliding head-on with the legion of the Mechanical World. They occasionally stepped into the Spirit Realm, rendering the noisy artillery impotent, and at times charged into the array with a stern posture, piercing the metal armor with their soul blades.

On the frozen snowy mountains, the clash between hot weapons and cold weapons, the confrontation between machines and spectres, formed an indescribable delicate sensation for a moment.

The few people from Dragon Ground City received reinforcements and were transferred to a safe zone, watching the battle of the Hero soldiers from a distance. They couldn’t help but click their tongues and said:

"Where did these people come from..."

"Turn left out of the east gate of Newbie Village, find a small stream, and climb upstream. You’ll find it,"

Cumin Powder casually said:

"It’s not that far, only four kilometers in a straight line."

Four kilometers.

For an Alpha Stage, that’s not even a long walk.

"Isn’t that a bit too close?" For a moment, Dragon Ground City didn’t know what to say: "But how did you know there would be reinforcements there? And a Zeta Rank female specter would come?"

"Well..." Cumin Powder glanced at Caramel Snail beside him: "You ask him."

Sensing the gaze falling on him, Caramel Snail scratched his head, a green light flashed through his eyes, and he then fluently explained:

"It was a hint from Leoz. The task required finding a Zeta Rank nearby, so I looked around—just happened to discover, Leoz’s two weapons were in the hidden area of the [Heroes of Falysia]. As a result, guess what, when I looked around inside, I encountered the hidden Zeta Rank boss—’Fairy of the Lake’ Sofia Malin."

Caramel Snail explained with gestures and words, reluctantly making people accept his explanation.

"Of course, to bring Sofia Malin here, we really racked our brains," Caramel Snail said: "This woman is really odd, completely indifferent to any persuasion. Communication didn’t work at all. She seemed to be the guardian of that Heroes’ Cemetery. No matter what, she wouldn’t leave the cemetery, especially that Ghost Garden. She wouldn’t even step out of the garden."

"Oh? Since she couldn’t leave the cemetery, how did she end up helping you?" Dragon Ground City asked curiously: "What did you use to bring her over?"

Caramel Snail chuckled:

"We burned the garden."

Hiss————

The ghostly blue flames instantly swirled up, the chilling aura reaching deeper than the snowflakes into the deepest part of the program. If not experienced firsthand, Coulomb Torque would never have thought, as a councilor of the Mechanical World, it could still feel such a ’cold’ sensation.

That physiological chill was something no matter how hard the nuclear engine worked, it couldn’t smooth over.

Watt Rivet Steel was burned by the ghostly flames, emitting a harsh, unpleasant cracking sound. It screamed incessantly, the electronic synthesized voice conveying a tone of panic and fear:

"Councilor Coulomb Torque, there’s something wrong with this woman—"

Before it finished speaking, a mass of spirits surged from its entire circuit, gathering into a scythe above its head, radiant like the full moon, ominously chilling to the soul.

"Ugh, my program has been maliciously invaded, the code is being rewritten—"

Then mercilessly slashed down.

Buzz!

Watt Rivet Steel’s mountainous body was instantly cleaved and dismembered, the mechanical frame dismantled and collapsed with a thundering crash.

In the vision of Coulomb Torque, Watt Rivet Steel’s collapsing hand fell before it. Before it could react, it heard a string of footsteps coming from Watt Rivet Steel’s palm.

Click, clack...

"She’s coming!" Turing Radix quickly said: "Don’t let her get close, her spiritual power is strange—"

Coulomb Torque acted without hesitation, raising its hand and continuously blasting out explosive beams, bombarding the area in front of it, while switching to Quantum Vision, linking to all machine perspectives.

However, as soon as it went online, in every perspective appeared a horrifying and dreadful face, causing even its mechanical mind to instantly manifest fear indices.

"—Damn it!"

Coulomb Torque’s mechanical body shivered all over, reacting a beat slower. In that moment, from Watt Rivet Steel’s massive hand descended a mysterious figure.

She slowly raised her scythe, the wind and frost dispersing her hair, revealing sapphire blue eyes

Clang.

Turing Radix was grabbed by a cold large hand beside him. Before its program could react, Sofia Malin’s scythe swiftly sliced down, skillfully like an executioner, sending the head flying smoothly, with the cut gleaming like silver mirrors.

Coulomb Torque immediately redirected its firepower. Sofia turned her head, walking towards it. Her body seemed not to belong in this world, letting plasma and high-energy particles pass through, the laws of physics utterly failing to touch her form.

[Spirit Realm Walk]

[Mysterious] class Ascenders’ most feared ability, once any spiritualist steps into the Spirit Realm, they are completely immune to physical laws, no attacks can touch them.

Throughout the Starry Abyss, there was no evasion ability more disdained.

Simultaneously, this ability also granted the [Mysterious] class Ascenders powerful mobility.

Sofia’s form shifted rapidly, yet to those in reality, she still seemed to stand in place, as if in a trance or sobering state. Her body stiffened at times, twitched mysteriously at others, leaving no way to anticipate her movements.

Coulomb Torque’s arms opened their cooling fins, releasing waste gas. Just as it was replacing the damaged parts of its body—Sofia Malin’s scythe instantly tore through the Spirit Realm, hooking through its chest.

[Evil Spirit Mark]

Coulomb Torque instantly entered the Quantum Domain, yet the scythe still tightly followed, ripping through its body.

[Death Sentence]

Tear————

Coulomb Torque’s body was instantly eroded by spiritual power, its core blinking rapidly, nearly extinguishing on the spot.

"Instant death curse, this ghost woman worships the [Primeval Heavenly Sovereign]!"

Coulomb Torque quickly leapt out of the Quantum Domain, landing in a maintenance station. Nanomachines immediately approached to repair its body, replacing the eroded Saint Heir Core.

As a mechanical life form, dealing with such an ability wasn’t too troublesome, simply changing parts, implementing physical purging.

However, the main body of Mashigang was about to descend. Though its energy was infinite, the Saint Heir Core required time to produce and was limited in number.

"Need to be cautious of this one eroding the core again... Damn it, Leoz had such an ally, hiding until now."

Coulomb Torque glanced at the Gate of the Mechanical World above, its electronic eyes revealing a grim expression:

"...It’s about to descend, if the Mother of Mashigang fails in the final stage, this planet will develop societal antibodies, at least a few hundred years before descending again."

—Wait, could this be Leoz’s plan?

"Leoz, it not only intends to stop the Mechanicus Council from summoning Mashigang but to expel Mashigang completely?!"

But as for this information, Turing Radix had found nothing, the Mechanical World Domain was still spreading well, no data showing Leoz had early awareness of the [Mechanical World Society] invasion.

"Leoz played us with an information disparity..."

Coulomb Torque was silent for a moment, then the network resounded with the voices of two councilors:

"This ghost woman is hard to handle, Coulomb Torque, Turing Radix, the Mother of Mashigang is about to descend. At this point, we should unite and face her."

"No! Leoz might still have other tricks, we haven’t found its true form yet," Turing Radix said: "Its information was strictly protected by Baizhu Star, just now Coulomb Torque hastily retrieved us, missing the chance to exterminate Leoz."

"Summoning Mashigang is the priority. You two being detained, the Mechanicus Council can’t proceed with the ritual. As for failing to exterminate Leoz—that’s Watt Rivet Steel’s fault. It flattened an entire mountain but still couldn’t find Leoz and its Growth-armored Vanguard!"
