Seeing the machine intelligence appear before her, Lai Ya took a deep breath.
But a doubt lingered in her heart. Wasn't everything going a little too smoothly?
The main force had launched a surprise attack and traveled over a thousand kilometers to reach Crystal Lattice City. As long as they destroyed the "octopus" before them, the entire machine intelligence faction would collapse.
Yet everything had gone far too smoothly—so smoothly that it felt abnormal.
"Forget it!" Lai Ya quickly cast aside her doubts.
The final enemy was right in front of her. She would fight first and worry later!
Without further hesitation, she transformed into a streak of red light and charged forward. About thirty percent of her power gathered at the tip of her sword, carving a dark crimson line through the sky.

Besides, thirty percent of her strength was already enough to kill the enemy.
Thus, her sword carried that thirty percent of power straight toward the machine intelligence.
Yet the machine intelligence remained completely calm.
It leisurely released a blue energy shield.
The shield created by the machine intelligence was vastly different from the Psionic Shields created by Carbon-based life:
This shield was mainly composed of countless high-speed ions. Under the effect of powerful electromagnetic forces, they crisscrossed and intertwined, forming a solid, dense energy matrix.
Lai Ya's sword light howled forward like an enraged dragon, and the Ion Shield immediately reacted.
The magnetic field intensity surged violently, twisting and warping the surrounding space under its influence.
Upon impact, the sword light's energy was absorbed and reflected by the shield,
