CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 236: SWING OF ANNIHILATION, MUTUAL DESTRUCTION?_2

Virtually all Mechanical Senators abandoned their mortal bodies to embrace mechanical ascension. Some extreme Mechanical Senators had long completed a hundred percent transformation, converting themselves into Intelligent Mechanism Dominated Life Forms.

As a result, they could distinctly perceive the terrifying changes that the entire version fragment had undergone.

It was as if a power capable of changing the world and reshaping rules had descended, with the core rules becoming like rubber in the face of that great power, easily kneaded and reshaped. The souls of the Mechanical Senators trembled continuously with that power, as if the existing rules were collapsing.

Yet, in the end, that great power did not completely reshape the core rules, allowing the Mechanical Senators to survive.

But the price was that all forbidden mechanical creations, including the Laplace Demon Omniscience Calculation Center, were destroyed by Lu Yan with his own strength.

"What exactly happened?"

The Brain-in-a-Vat Senator questioned, but no one answered him.

A silver-bodied Intelligent Mechanism Dominated Life Form Senator sitting at the round table suddenly became covered in rust, as if it had weathered endless time, and the energy flow within the mechanical body was exhausted in an instant.

The next second, the Intelligent Mechanism Dominated Life Form, whose cost was comparable to a Satellite-Class War Fortress, completely collapsed, dissipating along with three other senators who had also completed the Intelligent Dominance transformation.

Of the original thirteen senators, only ten remained at the moment, and deep fear still lingered on their faces.

"It’s the core rules, he shook the core rules!"

"Only by replacing the rules of this world could it be possible to destroy forbidden mechanical creations and kill Intelligent Mechanism Dominated Life Forms!"

Many Mechanical Senators even harbored the idea of retreating, wanting to withdraw into the core chamber of Intelligent Machinery City.

At this moment, a voice from a Mechanical Senator broke through the fear in everyone’s heart.

"Don’t lose your composure because of a temporary failure!"

"Imagine, if he really had the ability to arbitrarily change the core rules, then why would he avoid our ambush in Chain Hub City?

With such means, he could easily defeat peak Demigods and Prophet Mechas."

The words woke everyone from a dream, and the other Mechanical Senators immediately snapped out of their initial panic.

"That’s right! If he truly had such power, why would he have been frightened away by Demigod Keynes a month ago?"

"It must be some treasure on him that triggered the core rules, causing the mutation to occur."

"Although many of the forbidden mechanical creations closely connected to the core rules have been disabled by him in one move, we still have other mechanical creations not restricted by rules, which may not be inferior."

"The Laplace Demon cannot operate for a short time, so we can quickly try to restart the Nanometer Ruins and the Antimatter Annihilation Cannon, and we must take this opportunity to kill him here."

"Kill him, seize that treasure that triggered the core rules, and we can make up for all our losses!"

Numerous Mechanical Senators gave orders, and the vast Intelligent Machinery City stirred once again.

The outermost metal shields of the city unfolded like a Pandora’s box being opened.

The outermost shield of the city emitted a ghostly blue light, as three massive Satellite-Class War Fortresses slowly ascended from within the city, blocking out the sky like ancient behemoths.

The Satellite-Class War Fortresses are the strongest weapons in Intelligent Machinery City apart from forbidden mechanical creations. Since they are not limited by the core rules, most have been dispatched to leave the version fragments and guard strategic locations of the Intelligent Machinery City.

Even these three Satellite-Class War Fortresses were not meant to defend Intelligent Machinery City but had just completed their preliminary assembly, and they had not even been equipped with the Self-destructive Beehive or the Annihilation Main Cannon, so they were not yet ready for deployment in battle.

None of the Mechanical Senators realized that these three newly built Satellite-Class War Fortresses had become the last line of defense for Intelligent Machinery City.

Like three suns in the sky, the nine rule modules on the Satellite-Class War Fortresses projected fields that covered the sky and earth like a canopy, and the rule domains weaved through this world, attempting to suppress the Underworld army charging forward.

In the depths of Intelligent Machinery City, at the bottom of the numerous war factories, the massive Mechanical Nest had already been activated.

Thousands of intelligent mechanical beings were sent into the Mechanical Nest by the production lines. It seemed they were aware of the impending danger, but their furious struggles and roars were to no avail.

Within the Mechanical Nest, the bodies of the intelligent mechanical beings underwent enlargement and countless mechanical arms completed assembly modifications in an instant. Among them, the intelligent mechanical beings that could synchronize smoothly transformed in no time into gigantic mechas emitting the might of the Golden Core Stage.

The surfaces of these mechas shimmered with rune light, and they soared into the sky with the roar of engines, charging towards the Underworld army like a storm of metal.

However, more intelligent mechanical beings were destroyed during the assembly and transformation process, their souls collapsing and turning into heaps of scrap metal.

This was the mechanical transformation of the Intelligent Mechanism Race, as well as their last resort in desperate combat.

According to the initial design, the most suitable for mechanical transformation were the Intelligent Mechanism Dominated Life Forms, with a one hundred percent success rate. Once transformed by the Mechanical Nest, they could unleash formidable strength comparable to a Nascent Soul.

But throughout Intelligent Machinery City, there were only three Intelligent Mechanism Dominated Life Forms, and all of them perished during the version changes, significantly reducing the effectiveness of the Mechanical Nest.

The silver mecha storm, enveloped with nine-fold rule domains, collided with the Yellow Springs Underworld army in an instant, dyeing the entire sky in a bizarre mix of yellow and silver-white hues.
