The frequent activity of the destruction war machines quickly triggered the Destruction Supreme's instinctive awareness.
This awareness did not stem from intelligence.
The Destruction Supreme still possessed no clear consciousness.
Yet as the terrifying product of the entire Destruction Time-Space having undergone extreme Rule-based Transformation, it held an almost instinctive rejection toward all Origin of Destruction beyond its control.
Locke's seizure of a Destruction Star Zone had already made the Destruction Supreme exceedingly agitated.
The Creation God's use of Level-13 light and the power of creation to shape the Bright Genesis Region within another star zone had stimulated the Destruction Supreme's rule-based instincts even further.
And now, a new batch of destruction war machines had appeared under Saine's command—machines capable of wielding the Origin of Destruction while still obeying the Skynet of Mechanical Civilization.
To the Destruction Supreme, this was likewise an anomaly.
Anomalies had to be erased.
The Ninth Front Subnet was the first to develop a problem.
This war zone lay outside the half-ring of the Realm-Suppressing Ring, chiefly responsible for receiving destruction war machine squads and clearing away the remnants of the Destruction Crystal Tide.
Because it was relatively close to the Destruction Heart Core, the Ninth Front Subnet had always operated under a relatively independent regional network model.
This was a battlefield safety rule Saine had established long ago.
On any extreme Dimension Battlefield, not every Mechanical Legion could be merged unconditionally into the main network.
Otherwise, once high-level rule contamination emerged, Mechanical Civilization itself would instead become the vessel through which disaster spread.
The facts proved that Saine's caution had been correct.
The first abnormalities in the Ninth Front Subnet were merely several insignificant errors.
Several small mechanical gun emplacements showed deviations of a few tenths of a mark while calibrating the tidal direction of
