Clearing out the Source-Devouring Mother Nests
Upon receiving Ebony's message, the already assembled Mechanical Legion immediately began its operation.
A large number of Engineering Platform moved outward from the star system they were originally in control of.
At the very front of the platform, one after another, silver-gray metal pillars pierced into the Void.
Instead of immediately attacking the Source-Devouring Mother Nest, they first established a connection with the Origin Veins of the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
The open rules and permissions granted by Ebony allow the Mechanical Civilization to draw upon some of its native power for a short period of time.
A mechanical blockade line spanning multiple star systems was quickly constructed.
The Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion advanced from the other side.
Countless hordes of Destruction Zerg Beasts surged at the forefront of the fleet.
The Black-Red Flames swirling around their bodies contrasted sharply with the bright yellow glow emanating from the Source-Devouring Beasts in the starry sky.
The Darkness Sword Organization's home legion is responsible for the third direction.
The vast array of Dark Sword Formation unfolds based on the local plane and its Rule Nodes.
Legions that had fought each other for over two thousand years now found themselves on the same front.
However, a clear gap always remained between the Mechanical Civilization and the Darkness Sword Organization.
Neither side fully surrendered their flanks to the other.
The first conflict to erupt was between the middle and lower-ranking legions.
The Destruction Zerg Beasts, relying on its superior physique, tore through the Beast Tide composed of Source-Devouring Beasts head-on.
A large amount of bright yellow carapace was burned through by the Destruction Flame.
Before the fallen Source-Devouring Beasts could be dragged back to their Mother Nest by their companions, they were quickly sealed away by the mechanical collection devices that arrived later.
The Darkness Sword Organization's legions used Sword Formation to divide the battlefield.
Dark Sword Light streaked across the starry sky, severing the connection between the Source-Devouring Beasts and their Mother Nest behind them.
However, these Source-Devouring Beasts are far more troublesome than ordinary dimensional creatures.
Even if the body has been shattered, as long as the crystal core is not completely destroyed, the remaining bright yellow rules will continue to devour the surrounding energy.
Some of the more severely damaged Source-Devouring Beasts even charged into the depths of the Destruction Zerg Swarm.
Their crystal nuclei suddenly cracked upon approaching their target, forming rapidly expanding, Devouring Vortex.
The leading, Destruction Zerg Beasts vanished in droves.
However, the subsequent Zerg Swarm did not stop there.
More Destruction Zerg Beasts continued forward, stepping over the remains of their companions, their black and red energy breaths concentrated and blasting towards the still-open Devouring Vortex.
These two opposing forces, each possessing extreme attributes, continued to wear each other down on the outskirts of the Mother Nest.
"Initiate isolation procedures for nodes three through nine."
The voice of Skynet echoed throughout the Mechanical Legion.
Large, silver-gray walls then rose up.
The Power of Rules that dissipated after the death of the Source-Devouring Beasts was cut and sealed layer by layer.
During this process, the Mechanical Engineering Legion also quickly located the source extraction channels hidden deep within the starry sky.
As their own middle and lower-level legions gradually gained the upper hand, higher-level forces began to enter the battlefield.
Several Level-10 Level-11 Strong Practitioner from the Source-Devouring Time-Space flew out from near the Mother Nest.
Instead of engaging the Destruction Legion head-on, they attempted to retreat with some of the core components.
An Frost Rule suddenly sealed off the nearby starry sky.
Bing Xin appeared at the front of the mechanical lines.
She raised her hand and pressed down.
The bright yellow veins that were originally moving continuously in the Void quickly condensed into large patches of ice crystals on their surface.
Even those few experts at the Devouring Source Transcendence Realm were momentarily slowed down.
"Stay."
Bing Xin said calmly.
The next moment, countless icicles crashed down from all directions!
The Mechanical Civilization's Destruction Mech Soldiers followed closely behind, completely encircling these powerful individuals.
On another battlefield of the Mother Nest, the white lotus shadow transformed from the Pure World White Lotus slowly bloomed in the starry sky.
She did not directly contact the still violently churning Source-Devouring Veins.
Only after the Mechanical Civilization completed its isolation, and Bing Xin and others weakened the high-level power contained within it, did the white purifying power spread forward.
Large swaths of bright yellow pollution slowly faded away in the white light.
The local Rule Nodes, which had been nearly depleted, regained some of their dark hue.
The power level of the Pure World White Lotus is far from sufficient to purify the power of Emperor Monarch- level being on its own.
But in this battlefield where the enemy has already been sealed off and weakened, her abilities are extremely useful.
An Level-11 Source-Devouring Strong Practitioner attempting to break through the ice was simultaneously locked onto by several Mechanical Fortress.
Dense Energy Light Pillar pierced through its Rule True Body.
Bing Xin then made a grasping motion from a distance, completely freezing the still-functioning Source-Devouring Crystal Core within its body.
The white radiance released by the Pure World White Lotus then enveloped the source-devouring powerhouse, gradually erasing the connection between the source-devouring powerhouse and the Mother Nest behind him.
Mechanical Chain flew out from all directions, dragging the powerless Rule True Body towards the sealing platform behind.
Saine did not demand that all the Source Devourers be killed.
Living samples are obviously more valuable.
One after another, the Source-Devouring Mother Nest were subsequently destroyed.
More Source-Devouring Beasts began to converge towards the Main Passage controlled by the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch.
Only one of the most structurally intact Mother Nest was never destroyed.
This was the target that Saine had chosen in advance.
Hundreds of Mechanical Engineering Platform are deployed around the Mother Nest.
Thousands upon thousands of space Stabilization Device simultaneously pierced the surrounding starry sky.
The Mechanical Civilization did not sever the Mother Nest itself, but instead slowly peeled it, along with the surrounding network of rules, from the origin of the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
Such meticulous Node Engineering made the eyelids of several powerful members of the Darkness Sword Organization nearby twitch.
They soon discovered that the Mechanical Civilization controlled more than just this Mother Nest.
The Origin Node that had just been reclaimed from the Source-Devouring Legion were now occupied by Mechanical Fortress.
The will of Ebony then descended upon the vicinity.
"When do you plan to hand over these areas to us?" he asked.
"No rush," Saine's voice came from inside the God of Machines.
"The pollution hasn't been cleaned up yet."
"We'll discuss ownership after we complete the inspection."
Ebony, of course, understood the meaning behind Saine's words.
If he wants to get those nodes back, he'll probably have to pay another fee.
This is the price we pay for asking the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction to intervene!
What frustrated Ebony even more was that he couldn't forcibly expel these Mechanical Legion at this time.
The Devouring Source garrison has not yet withdrawn, and the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch and the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch are still in the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
If he were to turn against Saine at this point, he would once again find himself facing two formidable enemies simultaneously.
Ebony could only temporarily note the number of nodes occupied by the Mechanical Civilization, and planned to settle the score with Saine slowly after the Source-Devouring Legion was driven out.
Just as the Mechanical Civilization was about to completely cut off the retreat of the Source-Devouring Legion, the Bright Yellow Channel in the distance suddenly expanded.
An enormous circular ring suddenly flew out from the depths of the passage.
The mechanical barriers along the way were torn apart one after another by the powerful suction.
The Myriad-Origin Heaven-Devouring Ring!
Immediately afterwards, the Origin-Returning Divine Gourd also appeared above the passage.
A large portion of the battlefield's energy was forcibly swallowed up, reopening a route for the Fel Source-Devouring Beasts to escape.
The World-Devouring Emperor Monarch stepped out of the passage.
"Ebony!"
"You actually colluded with the enemy and attacked your own reinforcements!"
It was not Ebony that responded to the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch.
In the distant starry sky, the colossal Rule True Body of the God of Machines slowly rose to its feet.
Two Destruction Black Wing spread out to the left and right, blocking the space between the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch and the intact Mother Nest.
"Your opponent is me," Saine said.
