Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 1234 612: Betrayal of the Forge General

In the end, annihilated by the joint efforts of several human Overlords.

The Spiritual Energy is ultimately an idealistic power; as an intelligent AI, it finds it hard to comprehend, but at least can analyze it and use technological might to counterbalance it. A sufficiently efficient Decomposition Force Field can tear open a Spiritual Barrier.

But when faced with Divinity... it couldn't even analyze it, and was directly killed!

And the beastmen opened a new world for it.

Technology and Divinity, materialism and idealism, can truly be combined!

'Come, let me collect your data!'

The Casting General planned to observe on site, while its main body shrunk to be ready to be teleported away by the beastmen.

Soon, an electronic eye of a Guard Mecha captured the distant battle scene.

A figure was rapidly crossing the battlefield, its golden wings fluttering behind, the Champion Cloak whistling in the wind.

His speed was incredibly fast, dodging the dense anti-air firepower web. Occasionally, a few 'lucky shots' hit him, but they had no effect.

Some Horror Demons attempted to block him, but were halved by a spear. Some didn't even get close before being decapitated by some unseen blade.

This made the leader-level Horror Demons guarding here dare not to fight head-on, yet were still found by the Champion. Three thousand Shadow Army members appeared behind him, directly striking the ground for a surprise attack, killing the leader-level Horror Demons. Efficiently terrifying!

"That's... the Ninth Generation Champion of the humans?" Casting General was stunned.

The Beastman Titan roared in excitement, directly charging forward!

And as the Titan moved, Ye Lai from afar turned his head and rushed over. Clearly intending to fight the Titan directly!

"When I first encountered the Ninth Generation Champion, my mecha was hacked and taken away. The second time, my control was directly severed, and the mecha's control was taken away. He must have some means specifically targeting computing power and signals."

The Casting General analyzed quickly: "But back then, it was remote control, and the signal interference within the Disaster Fog was too strong. Now, at this distance, my computing power isn't discounted. Can it still take my mecha control?"

To be safe, it ordered all Casting Mechas to shut down any command reception.

Meanwhile, continue monitoring the battlefield.

The Beastman Titan was controlled by the beastmen themselves, it could only be operated internally, totally inaccessible to external control; let's see how you deal with it?

You might manage to remote control a car, but can you remote control a bicycle?

...

On the other side, upon seeing that ugly Beastman Titan, Ye Lai showed an expression of disgust.

"The Casting General's aesthetics are really bad."

Ye Lai had seen the Mechanical Titan.

The Silent Annihilation Titan was not only humanoid but also extremely agile and powerful. On the weapon front, it could even be hand-forged and recast on the spot.

The mechanical titan of the beastmen seemed pieced together from the junkyard. Are those turrets for real?

However, finding it was good enough.

Humans learned from those Mecha Mechanical Souls that the Casting General was creating the beastmen's Titan, and the timing should be about right.

Thus, this surprise decapitation attack happened.

In reality, the Casting General's strength was inadequate; called a general but essentially just an intelligent assembly line, with not even high production capacity.

The real danger was its creations.

However, the humanoid mechas it created weren't considered strong enemies to Ye Lai. Even if using "You Must Meet Strong Enemies" to search, it would take a lot of effort.

But the Beastman Titan should be enough, sufficient for Ye Lai's "You Must Meet Strong Enemies" to find it!

At this moment, finding the Beastman Titan equaled finding the Casting General.

Thus, Ye Lai directly attacked the Beastman Titan, the Mechanical Soul Core in his hand activated!

...

On the other side, atop the Beastman Titan, the Beastman Big Guy roared excitedly.

From a far-off place, the 'Power of Thought' of countless beastmen converged.

They aimed to win this war with countless waaa!

At the same time, Casting General maximized computing power, preparing for data confrontation.

However, the next second.

The Casting Mechas beside it suddenly turned to look at it uniformly.

Simultaneously, it was horrified to discover its data stream being physically blocked.

Its control chip was running under high load, but the cooling device showed no reaction, while all parts were completely out of control.

Wait, why?

Casting General felt fear for the first time, it ordered its Casting Mechas to help it, but those Casting Mechas just stared coldly, indifferent.

No, it's not hacking, it's... betrayal!

Every hardware component was rebelling against it!

Even the internal assembly line was running at super high capacity, increasing its burden!

How could this be? Had it already been hit?

What exactly was this technology? Could it be that within the Disaster Fog, there exists a technological level above mine?

Casting General put all computing power into diagnosing its core.

And saw a more terrifying data flood pouring into its hardware. Every line, every screw was resisting its control!

This is... the power of God?

Casting General suddenly recalled a leader-level Horror Demon that had already been killed, a remnant clan of a strong civilization's servant.

That Horror Demon always despised Casting General's computing power and abilities, often talking about its master.

About how it transformed a King's Throne into an engine, an unrivaled computing power.

About crafting black holes into bombs, unparalleled power.

About the revival of the Mechanical Soul, cursing the AI Nemesis non-stop.

Even claiming to have wounded the Chaos Evil God...

Casting General dismissed its words as crazy, never wanting to hear how grand its ancestor's master was.

Listening to it boast? Fighting the Evil God, AI Nemesis?

Now, it seems... I should have paid some attention. There are always stronger beings... truly terrifying.

'Is this, Silent Annihilation technology? So powerful?'

This was its final thought before its core consciousness was destroyed.
