The First Glimmer of Intelligence!

In the Paradise Lost Time-Space, on the other side of the Bronze Gate in the starry sky, several newly arranged Mechanical Platform lit up one after another.

The Transport Ship that had been stationed nearby had withdrawn to a more distant location. The Engineering Legion left only the portion needed to maintain the node, while the other creatures were evacuated from the area that would soon be hit.

Saine went above a platform and sent several of the rule lights from the Magic Cube into different positions.

The Alarm Clock Girl also placed the last Time Anchor Point on the inside of the Bronze Gate.

Deeper still, the Dark Golden Crystal Tide had already begun to surge forward.

Locke stood on the back of the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast, the black and red patterns growing beneath his feet extending along the crystal armor into the body of this enormous creature.

The Destruction Star Zone where it originally resided was not completely severed.

Still responding to several of Locke's sources, maintaining that crystalline tide along the established connections, the Zerg Swarm and the Mechanical Engineering Legion of Kerrygan are responsible for looking after the parts left behind.

Locke urged the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast to continue forward.

The silvery-white radiance of the Ancient Tree of the Moon quickly enveloped the edges of the Bronze Gate. The jet-black Destruction Crystals that had long been attached to it also trembled intensely under the approaching primal impact.

The first few pieces of crystal armor of the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast finally entered the passage.

The changes were more dramatic than any of the attempts Saine had previously documented.

The dark golden power had just crossed its original position when it began to swirl to both sides. Within the enormous beast's body, the source that had been restrained by the Destruction Mark also experienced a brief reversal.

The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast suddenly stopped.

A deep roar swept through the passage, shattering the few patches of silvery-white Moonlight Essence that had just formed outside the door.

Locke did not use stronger willpower to force it to crash forward.

A primal force from the Paradise Lost Time-Space first flowed down his Rules Body, catching the place that was flowing back. The black and red patterns thickened accordingly, finally supporting the shrinking power within the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast's body once again.

At the same time, Saine activated the nearby mechanical devices.

Several stable structures, separated from each other, began to bear the pull from different directions. The regular impacts that would have easily gathered in the same location were slowly moved outwards.

One of the platforms is still shaking.

The Alarm Clock Girl Power of Time, slowing down the incomplete changes. The Engineering Legion behind her then added the new components.

The crystal armor beneath Locke's feet finally moved forward once more.

A massive, dark golden head slowly passed over the Bronze Gate.

What greeted it was not the starry sky that had once been filled with the Destruction Golden Tide.

The primordial energy within the Paradise Lost Time-Space had already made way for it on both sides under Locke's will. The life force further away was still very strong, but it did not directly surge towards this Destruction Creature.

The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast's instincts clearly indicated that it was not used to this place.

The head that had just passed through the passage suddenly turned to one side. A large wave of crystals surged up, trying to rush towards the force that was different from its own.

The black and red mark beneath Locke's feet suddenly lit up!

The golden light that had been spreading outwards suddenly stopped nearby. It was still surging, but no longer rushed towards the life forms far away from here.

Before Saine's eyes, the fluctuations in the recorded rules had begun to stabilize again.

Locke did not retract his power. He continued to draw upon the Paradise Lost Origin, taking over the portion of the passage that the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast would pass through.

First came the front half of the beast's body, followed by layers upon layers of thick crystalline armor on its back.

The further back you go, the more likely the tug-of-war will occur in those areas that are still connected to the Destruction Star Zone.

A layer of dark gold crystal peeled off in the passage, and before it had fully dispersed, Locke led it into the nearby Black Lotus shadow.

The remaining portion did not continue to lose its shape.

Finally, when the enormous crystal armor behind the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast also passed through the Bronze Gate, the starry sky outside the gate truly supported its entire body.

The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast has stepped out!

What appeared in Paradise Lost was neither a temporarily formed Rule Phantom, nor a piece of wreckage brought back by Locke.

The true form of this Level-12 Mid-Stage Destruction Creature was now standing outside the Bronze Gate.

The dark golden pressure emanating from its body remained exceptionally heavy. Several Mechanical Fleet that had not completely left in the distance even retreated a bit more before they could no longer withstand the impact.

The Destruction Mark beneath Locke's feet slowly receded.

He did not completely sever ties with the Star Sector within the gate. That source, still in the midst of Destruction Time-Space, continued to respond to the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast through stable nodes.

But at the same time, Paradise Lost has also been able to provide some support for it.

Saine reached out and put the several changes he had recorded into the Magic Cube.

This is clearly not the same as previously bringing out only the materials for destruction and some of the rules and organizations.

For the first time, a complete Level-12 primordial Destruction Creature truly crossed the boundary of the Mother Time-Space while maintaining contact with both sides.

The Alarm Clock Girl checked the anchor point, which had just withstood the heavy pressure, once again.

Several sections require repair, but the passageway has not become unstable as a result.

On the outermost Engineering Platform, several Mechanical Being have begun replacing the melted components.

One of the Stabilization Device connected to the beast's body was still vibrating heavily. Even though the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast had completely stopped outside the door, the pull from the original Star Sector had not completely disappeared.

Saine left the recording from that device alone in front of him.

With each addition of Locke's power, the fluctuating dark golden light within it would become more stable. If this support diminished, the beast's body, which had already crossed realms, would also become unstable.

It still needs Locke's help for the time being.

Locke paused for a moment as he landed on the back of the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast.

The Destruction Mark that had previously required considerable mental effort to maintain was now surprisingly clearer.

This is not because the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast can understand on its own how it is expected to act.

Rather, the entire Paradise Lost Time-Space was responding to Locke.

Here, he could contact the ever-fluctuating source within the beast's body more directly than he could through the Destruction Mark alone.

The Emotion Power that had already entered his body didn't need to be suppressed from just one direction.

The rules governing the surrounding spacetime are making these connections even closer.

Locke raised his hand and directed a wisp of black and red light that he had been able to control to the vicinity of the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast's head.

The other person did not speak, nor did they show any genuine thought.

It merely ceased the churning of the nearby crystal tide, bound by the constraints of the Destruction Mark.

Locke, however, had a vague premonition that was different from before.

Perhaps by being here, I can imbue it with some simple consciousness.

It's not just about subjecting it to external suppression and manipulation, but about enabling this Destruction Creature, which always acts on instinct, to truly possess some form of judgment of its own.

Locke's gaze lingered on that enormous, dark golden head for a long time.

When Saine arrived nearby, Locke briefly shared his feelings.

"We can give it a try," Saine said.

However, the complete Origin of Destruction within the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast's body continues to surge. Integrating new elements into it is not entirely the same as suppressing an instinctive surge.

Locke did not immediately force himself to do everything he had just thought of.

After some time, the tension between the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast and the Star Sector within the gate has increased again. The Paradise Lost also needs more replenishment than when it first crossed the passage.

Although the creature had stepped out, it had not yet completely broken free from its original Burdens.

Locke first turned it around and moved it back toward the Bronze Gate.

Saine and the Alarm Clock Girl then gathered up part of the device and reconnected the nodes that were still in operation on the other side to their original positions one by one.

The Dark Golden Crystal Tide re-entered the passage.

After the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast returned to the Destruction Time-Space, the areas on its body that had previously fluctuated were quickly replenished.

The data sent by Kerrygan did not show any information about the rear Star Sector, thus indicating widespread instability.

Several affected cores require further repair. The Engineering Legion responsible for maintenance has already moved into these areas along the existing lines.

After reviewing the document, Locke withdrew some of the power he had previously invested.

The Empty-Faced Burning Monarch and the other two Primal Destruction Beings remained in their respective posts. He did not immediately send them to approach the Bronze Gate together.

The fact that the first creature was able to briefly cross boundaries does not mean that all the different fundamental connections have been resolved by them.

Saine soon received a batch of advanced destruction materials delivered by Locke.

Some of these items were the ones that were consumed in large quantities during the maintenance of the nodes and needed to be replenished. Others could be used directly for the adjustments to the Destruction Mech Soldiers that he had not yet completed.

The cross-disciplinary data we just acquired has been fully incorporated into Magic Cube.

Locke then pointed to the crystalline tide that had calmed down again inside the door.

"Next time, we can let it stay here a little longer," he said.

Saine nodded slightly, leaving the few places that needed modification visible on the still-lit screen.

The muffled roars of the Crystal Tide Wrath Beast continued to echo in this Destruction Time-Space.
