Press It Back!
The golden tide that was constantly surging around the Destruction Supreme suddenly began to converge inward.
The starry sky ahead calmed down briefly, but the God Slaying Spear in Locke's hand trembled even more violently at this moment.
Saine also noticed the anomaly. The God of Machines moved forward swiftly, and the Destruction Black Wing, which had been spread out on the flanks, began to protect the Engineering Legion that had not yet withdrawn behind them.
The next moment, a dense, almost black, dark golden light crashed into Locke!
Large swaths of Black Lotus shadows shattered one after another. The Destruction Black Lotus was forced backward by this attack, and the nearby, already stabilized source energy also began to ripple with dense waves.
Locke gripped the gun with both hands, and raging Destruction Flames surged forth from the depths of his Rules Body.
The God Slaying Spear collided head-on with the solidified golden power, and a dark crack quickly appeared where the spearhead pointed.
But more fundamental forces are still pressing in from behind.
The Destruction Supreme's massive body surged forward almost simultaneously with the impact, aiming to crush Locke and the newly occupied area behind him!
The giant hand of the God of Machines reached out from the side and gripped the outer edge of that golden power.
Numerous azure blue, Rule Patterns lit up simultaneously in front of Saine.
The God of Machines's shoulders, arms, and even a section of its back began to operate in succession, and its massive body, which had already stopped, took another half step forward.
The direction of the golden impact shifted slightly as a result. Locke did not miss this change.
The spearhead suddenly sank, pressing down along the previously opened dark crevice. The Power of Destruction gathered within exploded to both sides.
Saine immediately released the mechanical giant hand. But a large amount of golden light still rushed into the outer armor of the God of Machines along the point of previous contact.
The Ash Fire suddenly ignited.
Several corroded components detached from the body under Saine's control and were immediately engulfed by the erupting Gray Flame and golden tide.
The God of Machines suffered significant losses in this round of combat. However, he did not withdraw from the battlefield because of this.
The massive, Destruction Left Fist then slammed into Jin Chao's side, sending the force that was still trying to recombine tumbling in another direction.
The Destruction Black Lotus beneath Locke's feet finally stopped moving backward. The starry sky behind him, which had already been occupied, was still responding to his will.
The Destruction Supreme pounced once more. It wouldn't stop thinking of another method just because its previous attack had failed.
The long golden arm that emerged from the Rule True Body grabbed directly at the Destruction Black Lotus. The enormous dark golden head pressed down from the ever-gathering source.
The approaching pressure caused the Destruction Flames around Locke to briefly contract.
But he did not back down.
Black Lotus suddenly veered to one side, Locke used the momentum to place the God Slaying Spear between the opponent's outstretched, rule-bound long arm, using the force to lift himself upwards.
The next moment, the black spearhead had already swept across the neck of the Destruction Supreme!
Large swathes of golden crystal peeled off from there, and the head, which had not yet been completely pressed down, tilted to one side.
The flames on Locke's body were also dispersed by another approaching golden tide. Dense Power of Destruction passed through his shoulders and back, leaving large dark golden marks on his Rules Body.
These injuries did not stop him from God Slaying Spear.
The primal energy continuously emanating from the Paradise Lost Time-Space is replenishing his energy reserves. At the same time, the nearby starry sky, whose ownership has just changed hands, is also beginning to gather power towards the location of the Black Lotus.
Locke pressed forward along the gun barrel, pushing the already tilted, massive body of the Destruction Supreme further backward.
The opponent's New Life Rules Arm were repeatedly shaken by the force of the God of Machines's attack from the side.
Saine did not attempt to bear the full Destruction Supreme's attack alone. He merely seized the moment when Locke was applying pressure head-on, temporarily halting the counterattack that could have landed behind Locke.
Forced to change direction, the golden tide shattered a large area of the nearby deserted starry sky.
The Black Lotus shadow rose higher.
Locke retracted his gun and then delivered an exceptionally heavy sweep, smashing the newly formed half of the Rules Body, which had Destruction Supreme, backward!
This time, what awaited it from behind was not the ever-flowing source.
Several connections that were barely maintained were severed in the collision. The crystal layer occupied by the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast expanded forward. The phantom of the Dark Obelisk stood firmly on the other side, no longer allowing nearby nodes to respond to the dark golden will.
They could not protect Locke from the Destruction Supreme.
But with Locke having pushed the opponent deeper, these primal Destruction Creature were finally able to take over the loosened parts around them!
More black and red primal energy began to appear where the Destruction Supreme had once stood.
The Mechanical Engineering Legion then advanced.
The lingering effects continue to cause them damage, but a new batch of stabilizing devices has been sent into areas that were previously inaccessible.
Using Skynet, Saine transmitted the changes happening here directly to Locke. Locke didn't stop to check; the Destruction Will that had begun to respond to him had already made him clearly feel the changes.
Now all we need to do is keep moving forward!
Another Dark Golden Tide burst forth before the God Slaying Spear.
The Rule True Body of the Destruction Supreme's rules continues to re-form. The remaining essence it possesses can still support an extremely terrifying power.
However, compared to the initial sudden outburst, the impact surging towards Locke this time was no longer as intense.
Locke gradually stabilized his own energy expenditure. The Paradise Lost Time-Space and the vast Destruction Starfield behind him supported him, allowing the gains from each battle to gradually transform into power for the next engagement.
He began to make better use of these changes.
When the Destruction Supreme once again stirred up the surrounding source, some of the Destruction Creature that had been suppressed nearby suddenly became restless.
Even though its power is waning, this extreme being's influence on the Time-Space Being remains profound.
Several leading groups of beasts even began to turn their bodies toward the Mechanical Position.
A wisp of dark red will then passed through them.
Locke didn't turn around, but instead diverted a portion of his Origin of Emotion to reactivate the Destruction Mark that had just been triggered. The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast was the first to stabilize itself, its massive body blocking the path of the beast horde. Several nearby nodes that were about to experience a reversal of the flow also returned to calm under its suppression.
Saine then ordered the Engineering Legion to halt its outward expansion and to use all the freed-up forces to stabilize this area.
The boundary that was almost breached just now has re-emerged with a dark, regular radiance.
The source that Locke possessed did not flow back into the body of the Destruction Supreme.
When the Destruction Supreme once again focused its power on the front, Locke did not rush to fight it to the death. Instead, he directed the Black Lotus to move sideways, pressing the spearhead against another golden connection that was still flowing back.
After that connection was severed, the immense pressure of the rules that had already formed on the front was immediately weakened.
The God of Machines moved forward and caught part of the impact.
Locke turned back, the God Slaying Spear, wreathed in Destruction Flames, and pressed down once more!
The dark golden Rule True Body was forced back a distance by the attack. It was still fighting back, but behind Locke and Saine, more of the starry sky that originally belonged to it was gradually lighting up with a black and red glow.
This continuous confrontation ultimately led to a true reversal of the distribution of power within the Destruction Time-Space.
The source that Locke can control has begun to surpass that of the Destruction Supreme!
The Star Sector that had been contested and repeatedly stabilized over the years, along with the gains made through this joint effort, have finally come together.
The primal surge of the Destruction Supreme once again shook vast swathes of the borders.
The power that responded to Locke has become even stronger.
The Destruction Black Lotus withstood the oncoming golden tide, while the God Slaying Spear tore it apart from the center.
Further away, when the Rule True Body condensed again, it had already retreated into the deep starry sky that had not yet been conquered.
There was no seal, nor did it perish.
The Destruction Supreme still occupies a considerable area, and the power it can unleash is enough to destroy any legion that rashly ventures in.
Locke did not order Kerrygan's Zerg Swarm to give chase immediately.
He pointed the God Slaying Spear at the several primal sources he had just seized, which were still trembling.
"Let's stabilize these areas first."
When the subsequent Mechanical Platform arrived, Saine had already retracted the Destruction Black Wing behind the God of Machines.
A batch of newly acquired Origin Crystal was sent into the Magic Cube. It also included some fragments of rules recovered from the battlefield, as well as remnants of destruction that had not yet completely lost their activity.
These things are enough for him to take back and study carefully.
But the Engineering Legion had to stay behind to complete the remaining construction.
Locke stood atop the Destruction Black Lotus, his wounds slowly being covered by rising flames. The dark golden shockwaves from deeper within continued unabated.
He raised his head and looked at the still vast, Destruction Starfield.
Below, the first batch of New Life insectoids spewed out by the Erosion Abyss Mother Nest have already crossed the shattered crystal layers and are rushing towards the newly designated garrison area.
