CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 114 PULANG ARRIVES

The one who attacked was the Blood Mustache Main Soul, following the return of the Soul Continent.

Back when Lu Yan began the containment of the Soul Continent, Blood Mustache Main Soul was released to protect Lu Yan from being disturbed.

Caught off guard, the scarlet tentacles pierced through the body of the Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User.

They had already completed the full mechanization transformation, so ordinarily, attacks would not cause them real harm.

However, as one of the Soul Banner Main Souls, Blood Mustache’s attack directly affected their souls. The scarlet tentacles almost tore apart their transformed souls, causing painful wails.

Blood Mustache had a manic smile on his face, while on the side, the Giant Spirit Main Soul finally broke free from the pressure of God, the soul body shrunk to half and began to restore its giant ghost-like form over ten meters tall.

With a sweep of his large hand, the Giant Spirit Main Soul slammed heavily onto one of the Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users, who was already pierced by the High-Energy Sniper Rifle and could not escape, only raising an arm to withstand the attack.

But in the next second, the Giant Spirit Main Soul’s eyes widened like an angry deity, with an enormous amount of Ghost Qi coiling around his right arm, making it twice as large as before.

"Boom!"

With a single palm strike, several levels of the Spiral Tower trembled, and the terrifying force directly smashed the Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User through three alloy-fused floors.

The metal-transformed body became scrap iron, and the Spiritual Ability Code throughout the body dimmed completely.

Another Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User was slain, and the intimidation exerted by the Giant Spirit Main Soul greatly alarmed the four remaining injured Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users.

At this moment, they completely lost the madness and arrogance from when the Intelligent God descended, leaving only fear towards Blood Mustache and Giant Spirit.

Realizing the situation in front of him had stabilized, Bewis breathed a sigh of relief while also being secretly wary of the power of Blood Mustache and Giant Spirit.

He could almost be certain that Blood Mustache and Giant Spirit were undoubtedly Lu Yan’s work, as only that enigmatic Lu Yan in the Lower City District could wield such high-powered combat strength.

Bewis was naturally delighted by this; the stronger his teammates were, the greater the chance of success in this strike against the Heaven Computation Center.

After a brief consideration, Bewis spoke to Giant Spirit and Blood Mustache:

"I ask the honorable two to help us hold off these Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users; we need to quickly reach the control center on the eighteenth floor."

As the main souls transformed from Extraordinary Zombies, Blood Mustache and Giant Spirit’s Spiritual Wisdom was far superior to Ghosts, roughly understanding Bewis’s intentions.

Giant Spirit nodded towards Bewis, and with a wave of Bewis’s right hand, the fully armed tactical team quickly charged to the upper floors.

"Damn! How dare you trespass into the domain of God!"

One Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User shouted in anger, yet the next moment Blood Mustache had already rushed in front of him, with hundreds of scarlet tentacles from behind wrapping towards the opponent.

The fierce collision erupted at this moment; hundreds of tentacles that had manipulated ghosts to draw Heavenly Dao Code over these days had greatly improved their dexterity.

Every strike fell on the key nodes of Spiritual Energy transmission, interrupting the operation of the Spiritual Ability Code. The mechanical creations in front of him were clumsy like rusted cars, struggling fruitlessly despite any shouts or howls.

After a short scuffle, Blood Mustache withdrew to the edge of the ghost fog.

That Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User still attempted pursuit, but after taking a few steps, the components on his right arm shattered one after another onto the ground; Blood Mustache dismantled the opponent’s arm during the battle, turning it into scrap iron.

Seeing Blood Mustache’s mouse-and-cat smile, the few remaining Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users became increasingly fearful.

Just then, another rumbling sound came from the outside, as three more Sky Battleships descended upon the Heaven Computation Center.

Hundreds of mechanical soldiers disembarked from the battleships and began joining the battlefield.

"Alright, stop playing around."

Lu Yan, who was focused on containing the Soul Continent, managed to divert a little attention to observe the outside. He could identify that these few weak Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users were not combat types, probably some old scientific relics that lived for a long time.

These relics had replaced their brains and bodies with mechanical ones to forcibly extend their lifespan. In terms of combat prowess alone, Lu Yan could defeat them even without using the Soul Banner.

"Kill them, but remember to preserve their brains and souls; I have great use for them."

Lu Yan didn’t forget, Scott’s father once said that all soul transformation research in City No.14 was in the Heaven Computation Center.

If that were true, these scientific-type Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users might hold the soul transformation technology. At that point, he could consider ways to acquire the soul transformation technology.

Once the soul transformation is completed, it would undoubtedly bring a significant boost to the Ghosts.

Upon hearing Lu Yan’s command, Blood Mustache and Giant Spirit also quickly ceased their playful attitude and held nothing back.

As the ghost fog rolled, eight hundred ghosts charged out of the fog, attacking the remaining four Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users, almost instantly engulfing them.

...

The elevator was already sealed off, but the elevator shaft was still accessible, and for Bewis, a proficient Spiritual Ability User, climbing the shaft was almost as easy as walking the stairs.

Heading upwards, Bewis could see clearly that the Spiritual Ability Users in the Lower City District arranged in advance had begun taking action; numerous rooms had closed their Hibernation Pods, and ordinary people were starting to wake up from the pods gradually.

Some had only been locked in for a few days and looked relieved upon hearing they were rescued.

Some had been exploited for over a decade and remained expressionless despite their liberation.

Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, imprisoned in Hibernation Pods at different times, thought they were lost for decades without a trace, only to realize after waking they were adjacent to each other in the pod locations.

There were even those with white hair who had worked in the Hibernation Pods for a full 120 years, initially leaving the Heaven Computation Center two decades ago but unable to find family outside. Being without work due to old age, a month later, he was forcibly returned for overdue Spiritual Energy taxes.

The myriad forms of life were vividly displayed within the Heaven Computation Center.

After passing many floors, Bewis finally arrived at the control center on the eighteenth floor.

Using a cutter to forcibly cut open the control center’s door, Bewis then took out a metal plate from his backpack inscribed with Heavenly Dao Code and placed it around the Giant Intelligent Brain Terminal, forming a circle.

The Giant Intelligent Brain’s control over the Heaven Computation Center was immediately severed, and then Bewis began manually shutting down the computation center’s defense facilities.

Automatic turrets, high-power, guard mechanical soldiers ceased operation, leaving only two groups of mechanical soldiers dropped from the Sky Battleship, most of which posed little threat.

"The overall situation is settled!"

Just as Bewis spoke with joy, suddenly golden light burst into the Spiral Tower from above the Heaven Computation Center, with massive Spiritual Energy bearing down like mountains.

Bewis’s eyes widened, exclaiming:

"How could Director Pulang rush over? What are the Upper City District’s Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users doing?"
