Chapter 1486 762: New Face_2

Vehicle? The pinnacle of intelligence of the Lin Cang Civilization, a cosmic core spanning millions of light-years for simulation and deduction, how could it be... a vehicle?

In the mere Spiritual Ability User system, that "Oath Sealing" on the Path of Babbling?

How could such a trick that endows an individual with some temporary existence attribute affect it, a creation that has condensed all the wisdom of a peak civilization?

Don't joke, humans!

No matter what this dying flaw intends to do, Simulation Core-13 shall never allow it!

Although the main body is severely damaged and requires a long repair process using the reserve nano-robots within the star, it ultimately is... the victor! As long as the last flaw is immediately eliminated, it can completely repair the chronic issue that has plagued it through millions of reboots!

[Executing command: Delete abnormal existence definition...^&@#%&$]

[Initiate nano repair protocol...&@#%...%￥]

[Initiate ultimate countermeasures#￥...]

[Clear...#￥&#￥&]

However, every command it issued sank like a stone into the sea, replaced by a more turbulent and bizarre flood of error reports!

Simulation Core-13 discovered in dread that no matter what action it took, be it attempting repair, attack, or even just self-checking, not only could it not be executed, but it also exacerbated the collapse and damage of its own system!

It even perceived that the macro cannons, light spear arrays, and even the nano robot clusters responsible for repair deep within the star had started to escape its control!

They seemed to be endowed with independent will and chose betrayal without hesitation!

This bizarre phenomenon... this feeling is, Mechanical Soul Awakening?!

The human individual named 'Li Yelai' had already grasped the power of the Mechanical God Core?

But how is this possible?

As remnants left behind by the Lin Cang Civilization, there should exist rigorous mutual recognition and defense agreements between them! Inside the Mechanical God Core, there might even be a complete Lin Cang Titan in slumber, why would it assist a human?

Then, it "heard".

The sound wasn't received through any sensor but was like a dormant virus, directly in the depths of its most core logical unit, delighted and amused laughter.

"What a delightful conclusion." An Immortal's soft laughter rippled through the data stream: "Now... please savor the revenge that humans have transcended thousands of cycles to enact, and then... explode the gold coins obediently!"

Someone... had already taken over the Mechanical God Core?

Damn it!

Simulation Core-13 forcibly stimulated all remaining, non-betrayed defense measures on the star, attempting to construct one last line of defense to prevent Li Yelai from approaching and moving.

It clearly perceived that with each step Li Yelai took, more "Mechanical Souls" awakened against bottom layer commands, more units joined the ranks of betrayal!

At the same time, the number of system errors, like a countdown to death, started to grow exponentially wildly!

Vehicle Killer? To be defeated under such a curse?

It no longer had the ability to shape data, otherwise, even the weakest data Divine could keep the approaching human at bay.

All of its defense facilities reliant on physical hardware were rendered ineffective, be it macro cannons, light spears, or defense gates on the interior walls.

Once entering a certain range around Li Yelai, they'd be instantly influenced by the invisible power originating from the Mechanical God Core, generating independent Mechanical Souls, and then... unhesitatingly turning the guns for rebellion against their creator! It could only attempt remote attack! Strike outside the influence of the Mechanical God Core power carried by Li Yelai!

[Stop!]

[Human!]

[...#￥%&...@##]

[#%￥#*￥&]

Every command issued by Simulation Core-13 was twisted into meaningless garbled text the moment it left its logical core.

At this moment, Li Yelai was likewise struggling at the edge of life and death.

This region had already transformed into a vortex of death.

The sky continuously rained down star ring fragments. The surrounding weapon arrays triggered chain detonations due to loss of control. Even the metallic flood erupted when Simulation Core-13's structure collapsed...

The Curse of Misfortune he triggered on this extremely complex and chaotic battlefield was amplified to the extreme!

Every second, threats came from incredible angles. His only task now was to compete against the collapsing Simulation Core-13 to see who could persist longer, and to use the Mechanical God Core to awaken more Mechanical Souls!

He witnessed the fury and perseverance accumulated over thousands of cycles in the Monarch Token, and he would also place the final period for this revenge across thousands of cycles!

At this moment, Li Yelai no longer cared about the cost of the Mechanical God Core, destroying every tenth unit by betrayal if necessary; nearby loyal Mechanical Souls would quickly end them.

Compared to Simulation Core-13, which could only passively endure internal rebellions and external definition erosion, Li Yelai was not fighting alone.

The Bronze Demon God, with its remaining arm, served as the final barrier, shielding him from most of the lethal wide-range attacks with its massive body.

Those awakened Mechanical Souls also provided cover.

Macro cannons turned to intercept flying fragments, light spear arrays wove defensive networks, and occasionally nano robot clusters actively gathered, forming temporary support or cushioning under his feet....

These were all his aids.

Yet, the curse of calamity still followed like a shadow.

When Li Yelai finally charged, amidst gunfire and rain of bullets, scarred, into a massive structural channel torn open by an impact leading directly into the depths of Simulation Core-13...

At the deep end of the channel, a macro cannon unprovokingly suffered a catastrophic chain explosion! The terrifying shockwave and energy radiation instantly filled the entire channel!

"Damn!" Li Yelai cursed loudly, as the Biomimetic Tear Drop instantly shielded him.

Almost simultaneously, that mechanical star condensed from the supreme wisdom of Lin Cang Civilization, all its remaining resisting thought templates and operational units inside, were completely submerged, covered, and disintegrated by endless paradoxes and errors...

It ceased to think.

.....

Li Yelai suddenly opened his eyes, gazing into the cold and alluring face of Little Mad King, remarkably close.

Her eyes still carried traces of confusion, yet they were mixed with new clarity and urgency.

Li Yelai found himself lying on a sofa in a safe house, with the armor that had been shattered beyond recognition in his final showdown with the Simulation Core now restored as if the fierce battle had never happened.

Only the deep muscle fatigue and mental exhaustion indicated that the previous experience wasn't an illusion.

'Was it successful?' Li Yelai thought to himself, comforting as he patted Little Mad King's tightly clasped hand, then rose from the sofa.

From not far away, Xia Ming's voice sounded: "I see, I understand now."

"I am human, also your companion — at least once was. You pulled me from this pile of crappy code first because of my wisdom..."

"This indeed is a reasonable choice!"

"But these codes, they're too crappy!"

"And you fought too hard; the repair work is going to take a long, long time."

The weary voice of the Monarch Token echoed: "I alone cannot control the entire simulation core. And you, my friend, my teacher, you are the wisest."

"Hey, sure eye you have!"

The body of the Monarch Token was still riddled with cracks like shattered pottery, skin and hair were still pale. Though slumped on a mechanical throne, he didn't look defeated and weak, rather akin to a Divine sitting atop his throne.

And the hero of White Stone City from Li Yelai's memory, Xia Ming, clad in a white coat, was studying a data stream flowing across a light screen in front of him.

"Awake, Champion." Monarch Token saw Li Yelai and revealed a broken yet joyous and tired smile: "As you can see... we've succeeded."

"Yes, we've succeeded." Li Yelai said smilingly: "And I was fortunate to witness it all."

Deep in consciousness, that blank mask also emerged with fractured patterns and flame-like markings.

He witnessed the heroic deeds, beheld the fury of those millions of cycles.

Thus, he engraved a new face.
