The moment the two mechanical overlords faced off, they unleashed everything they had.
The virus mechanical grand lord known as the "Assimilator" was like Murong Fu of the mechanical world, capable of flawlessly copying any skill its enemy possessed.
It did not merely copy them, either, but automatically "optimized" and "upgraded" them.
For example, "Common" was optimized into "Advanced," "Elite" into "Expert," and "Master" into "Legendary."
Moreover, this optimization and iteration was not limited to combat. It covered everything from mechanical production and mechanical development to space architecture and the optimization and upgrading of mechanical planets.
Because of this ability, the "Assimilator" had handled more than ninety percent of civilization's construction projects.
Compared with it, Blood Spider was far inferior.
Back when it had still served under the Mechanical Overlord, let alone itself not being a high-ranking figure, even its boss, General Cybertron, had not counted as one.
If Cybertron was equivalent to a security captain, then it was equivalent to a neighborhood security guard.
Even if it was a neighborhood security guard under a fifth-order Mechanical Overlord, it was still a neighborhood security guard.
The "Assimilator" knew this as well. After all, it had also come from the era of the Mechanical Overlords.
But only after the battle truly began did the grand lord discover in astonishment that the strength displayed by its opponent far exceeded its expectations.
Wasn't General Cybertron at his peak back then only about this strong?
After all, a certain Mr. G's "dark history" had long since been thoroughly dug up.
Yet when they truly exchanged blows, the "Assimilator" was stunned to discover that, for the moment, its grand-lord-level mechanical virus actually could not hack its way in.
The electronic virus seeped through the gaps in the data interfaces like a pool of viscous asphalt,
