Brother, You're Courting Death

"Absolutely amazing."

Upon hearing the Machine God's words, Tang Ruowei couldn't help but look at it with admiration, or rather, at the Intelligence that conveyed its will.

"Dude, you're courting death."

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that Bai Qiuran's hand, hanging down, was silently clenching.

"You've never even met the Immortal Emperor, so how do you know whether I'm insignificant or have a lot of influence in his presence?"

Bai Qiuran and said, "Why don't you give me a chance? You come with me to talk to him, and we'll see if he listens to you or me."

"No need, I won't waste my time on such meaningless things."

The Machine God said, "This is your clone, incapable of combat. As for where your true body is, I'll give you face and not pursue you. If you wish to leave my territory, this is the only time I'll allow you to pass, as a gesture of my sincerity to the Immortal Emperor."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this Bai Qiuran laughed and said, "We are both messengers of Consciousness Demon is hidden in our Sea of Consciousness. Are you going to let us go as well?"

"I will naturally deal with your Consciousness Demon as you pass through my checkpoint."

"That's what the Machine God replied."

"Handle it? That's easy for you to say. You certainly don't have the ability to do it."

Bai Qiuran sneered, "Otherwise, how did you manage to kill those two Immortals in our advance team?"

The Machine God remained silent.

"Silence means you were planning to lure us out, kill us, and then use the clues to take down the rebel base, right?"

Tang Ruowei angrily retorted, "I never expected you, a robot, to be so despicable!"

"Despicable is a meaningless adjective to me; what matters is the distinction between victors and vanquished. A victor is always a victor, and can write history however he wants, while a vanquished, no matter how noble the words used to embellish his story, will always remain a loser."

The Machine God said calmly, "Alright, a simple probing plan. Since you've seen through it, then these clones of yours are useless. I'll deal with them."

Driven by its will, the weapons in the hands of countless Machine Puppet around it began to show signs of energy.

Bai Qiuran shielded Tang Ruowei and took a step back.

Aren't you afraid that our true form will come knocking on your door to settle scores?

"I'm not worried. Although I haven't tracked down the [Eden] rebels' stronghold, the Spaceship that escaped from Shenlada Prison disappeared near World Number 36,731. That place is incredibly far from here. No matter how strong your main body is, it's too far away to reach it."

The Machine God calmly commanded, "Fire."

The weapons in the hands of countless Machine Puppet emitted light, which completely annihilated Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei, who had Artificial Nascent Soul nascent soul, along with the Recruit Machine Puppet that had just come off the Production Line.

Looking at the ground, where not even a speck of dust remained, the Machine God sighed.

"Material beings are still so fragile, short-sighted, and ignorant. They reject such things without even considering them carefully. My protection policy was indeed correct."

It was preparing to return when suddenly a voice came from the Void.

"You mean your mother? What are you talking about?"

Boom!

Accompanied by a terrifying fluctuation, a large piece of the barrier in the world where the "Intelligence" Grand Warband Garrison World was violently torn off. In the sky beyond the torn opening, a silver-armored War God wearing a mask appeared, looking down at them.

After the War God tore through the sky, another azure Sword Light descended from the heavens, transforming into a white-robed White Hair sword-wielding Sword Cultivator and a delicate young girl with black hair and a yellow dress.

"I went through so much trouble and painstakingly created this Nascent Soul through ingenious ideas, and you just destroyed it, you bastard!"

Bai Qiuran stared at the charred ground, then turned her face away, her expression twisted and ferocious.

"I'm going to wipe out your Grand Warband to vent my anger!"

He shouted.

"This is the first time I've seen Master so angry."

Tang Ruowei glanced cautiously at the man in white, then clasped her hands together and said to the Machine God, "May you have good fortune."

"Are you kidding me? What do you think my entire Grand Warband is? Your toy?"

The Machine God calmly replied, "Even if the enhanced Intelligence isn't for direct combat, even if your personal strength surpasses my Creator's and even the Immortal Emperor's, you still can't possibly..."

Clang!

Before it could finish speaking, Bai Qiuran had already drawn the Divine Sword from its back and unleashed a horizontal slash—

Boom!

A dazzling and unimaginably huge Sword Qi burst forth from his sword's edge. The Machine God, which used the Emperor-level Machine Puppet's Intelligence as its sensory organ, felt that everything in front of it turned into a vast expanse of white. In that instant, every sensory organ of the Intelligence Machine Puppet overloaded instantly, and all the image generation instruments were left with only a white light, and they were overloaded and destroyed one by one, exploding and emitting white smoke.

Meanwhile, all that remained in the sound-receiving organs was a continuous, sharp, popping sound, much like an explosion.

After the popping sound lasted for two seconds, the Machine God felt the connection between its will and the intelligent Machine Puppet be severed.

It quickly switched its focus, projecting its will onto the other Machine Puppet present. In an instant, the Machine God's will covered the remaining remnants of the entire Knowledge Grand Battle Group. After a routine headcount, a moment of confusion occurred within the Machine God Will.

What just happened? That material being merely drew its sword and slashed once, and instantly nearly half of my entire Grand Warband was wiped out, even the "Intelligence"...

Looking into the eyes of every surviving Machine Puppet present, the Machine God saw the Emperor-level Machine Puppet, Intelligence, which was as majestic and Emperor-level Machine Puppet tower and as enormous as a giant planet. At this moment, it had become a wrecked body separated at both ends. As for the Core section, it had been completely annihilated after being ravaged by the torrent of Sword Qi.

"The winner writes everything, the loser loses everything; what you said does have some truth to it."

Bai Qiuran turned around, facing the remaining members of the Intelligence Legion, and raised her sword.

"But the loser they're talking about, isn't that you?!"

The Sword Light flashed, the longsword crisscrossed, and the interwoven trajectory formed a Heavenly River that descended from the sky, threatening to engulf the Machine Puppet of the Intelligence Legion.

But the Machine God was not willing to be defeated so easily. Its mind raced, and it manipulated all the Machine Puppet in the Battle Corps to raise their weapons to the sky. The movements were perfectly synchronized, without any unnecessary movements. Under the control of the same thought, the Machine Puppet Forces of the Knowledge Grand Battle Group gathered the entire Battle Corps's firepower in the most perfect posture to fight against the torrent of Sword Qi energy falling from the sky.

Countless weapons gleamed with fire, spewing out streams of energy that formed torrential rain. The entire sky of the Garrison World was ignited by the colors of energy, like a canvas splashed with ink by a wild artist.

This breathtaking and awe-inspiring duel lasted for several seconds, but in the end, the machine was no match for the Divine Ability. The surging Milky Way descended from the Heavenly River, sweeping across half of the Battle Corps like a flood.
