Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, from the enormous black oval sphere shot forth a series of hunched figures, countless in number, instantly charging towards the location of the City Lord of Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder. Each of these hunched figures was tens of thousands of kilometers tall, entirely forged from metal, possessing eight metal arms and two legs, with their waists bent in a hunched posture, and braids hanging down from their heads.

"It seems the machines were the first to lose their composure!" Seeing the Machine Race Father God launch the first attack, the Giant Axe Founder smiled slightly. "The puppet army that the machines have prepared is quite large. According to our data, when the Machine Race Father God was adventuring in the Universe Ocean, his strongest burst of power was only 9,000 puppets."

"It's very simple," the City Lord of Chaos chuckled. "In the Universe Ocean, the environment is extremely harsh and dangerous, and the Universe Supreme Being are not to be trifled with. In the ensuing battle, some puppets might be lost! Each puppet... is extremely valuable, more precious than an Ordinary Supreme Treasure. The Machine Race Father God wouldn't be willing to part with them. But in the Primal Universe, the highest combat power is only at the peak of the sixth rank. He's not worried about losing puppets, so naturally he's going all out."

The City Lord of Chaos's eyes were fixed on the approaching puppet army. The two sides were quite far apart; even traveling at near the speed of light, it would still take quite a while, which gave the City Lord of Chaos the time to observe the puppet army.

"There's a subtle, mysterious power among these mechanical puppets... It seems that even during our previous adventures in the Universe Ocean Years, we never truly unleashed the legion's full potential..."

"According to the information provided by Tian Xin, this machine should follow the swarm tactics of the Ancient Civilization's 'Mechanical Flow'." City Lord of Chaos said silently. Lu Yan'an had received the Heart Lineage inheritance before the war and had also viewed a massive amount of inheritance information, so he naturally knew a lot about Mechanical Flow! However, compared with the Mechanical Flow power collected by the God King, the means of this machine were actually at a very "low-end" level.

Because the Machine Race Father God cannot create very powerful machines, they can only compensate by sheer quantity! Because the Mechanical Flow... has "replicability," it is suitable for large-scale swarm tactics.

However, the truly high-end existences, the elite factions within the Mechanical Flow, generally create individual mechanical treasures with extraordinary power, such as the "Wuqi God" or even the "Universe Boat"!

"Although it's considered low-end, that's only from the perspective of God King. In reality, this swarm tactic of the Mechanical Flow is terrifyingly powerful!"

"In Ancient Civilization, those powerful beings could easily sweep them away. But in the Universe Ocean, especially in the Primal Universe, I really have no way to deal with it. And this machine is Intelligent Life form, so it is born to bring this naval tactic to its fullest potential." The City Lord of Chaos said with a headache.

Even for ordinary people, using this swarm tactic against an enemy would be impossible, even for the Universe Supreme Being. They couldn't perfectly control so many mechanical puppets. The more they controlled, the greater the weaknesses exposed, rendering the tactic's true power untapped! But the Machine Race Father God was different; as a naturally Intelligent Life, controlling mechanical puppets required almost no effort. In short, the Mechanical Flow swarm tactic was practically tailor-made for beings like the Machine Race Father God!

Moreover, the materials used in this mechanical puppet are extremely precious, estimated to be at least at the peak level of Peak True Treasure! Although each puppet does not consume much material (the puppet itself is very small, but it can grow larger or smaller under the stimulation of divine power, such as the Muling Boat, Supreme Treasure, etc.), the total value is probably close to that of a Supreme True Treasure.

Under the limitations of the power of the Primal Universe, a sixth-order attack alone cannot destroy it.

Using Palace-type Supreme Treasure for suppression and counterattack? Under the full control of the Machine Race Father God... the puppets can completely merge into one, easily breaking free from that suppressive force. If they could be easily suppressed... the Machine Race Father God wouldn't have relied on this move to roam the Universe Ocean with so few puppet losses.

"Fortunately, the Purple Dream Abyss Domain restricts the three mechanical figures, preventing them from exceeding the speed of light. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to restrain these old fogies!"

The Universe Supreme Being can all reach speeds of ten or even a hundred times the speed of light, making a direct confrontation with them in the Original Universe a significant disadvantage. Human Faction only has two of these Universe Supreme Being, putting them at a numerical disadvantage, and their opponents have far more flexible combat options. Therefore, entering the Dark Universe is the only way to maximize their numerical advantage. Furthermore, once inside the Dark Universe ... at crucial moments in the battle, they can choose to halt and immediately return to their Original Universe. It's a strategy that allows for both offense and defense!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two sides were not as far apart as one might imagine in the void of space. In less than a second, the mighty puppet army arrived in front of the City Lord of Chaos.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

Each mechanical puppet roared, and each was controlled by burning divine power, much like a Spirit Reader manipulating a Spiritual Force weapon... This is how the Machine Race Father God controlled his puppet army! And as the only strongest being, representing the pinnacle of Intelligent Life.

His ability to multitask is unparalleled in the Universe Ocean!

Intelligent Life Lord Shen possess absurdly strong computational abilities even when they are weak. And once they achieve immortality... their computational abilities far surpass those of other immortal races. Not to mention the only Machine Race Father God, even if he uses one percent of his control abilities, it's still not on the same level as the control capabilities of the Universe Supreme Being present here.

So--

The puppets, each seemingly possessing its own soul, quickly split into two teams, directly surrounding and attacking the City Lord of Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder.

"Boom..."

Approximately 5,000 puppets simultaneously unleashed a punch at the City Lord of Chaos. Each punch was exquisitely crafted, and they combined to form a vast and devastating force that shook the heavens and earth... Its power was so immense that the very fabric of the universe trembled! However, for the City Lord of Chaos, who was also Universe Supreme Being, this was hardly divine; it was merely a simple aggregation of forces. Even before he reached the Universe Supreme Being, he could easily have withstood it, let alone now, wielding the Supreme True Treasure City Lord of Chaos.

"Boom!" A streak of azure light suddenly spun and flew from the void, like a green sprite circling and dancing in the cosmic void. After circling around the City Lord of Chaos twice, this streak of light went straight towards the 5,000 puppets that were attacking the City Lord of Chaos!

"Break!" The Giant Axe Founder, not far away, also roared and swung his Giant Axe, engaging in an attack-against-attack, head-on clash!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the control of the City Lord of Chaos, the azure Annihilation Wind Awl was like a wolf that had entered a sheepfold! You must know that this Annihilation Wind Awl was the Supreme True Treasure given as compensation by the True Lord Beixing of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe. Its strength was completely different from these mechanical puppets that were on a completely different level!

"Huh, the power is strong, but not that monstrous." The City Lord of Chaos sensed the state of the Annihilation Wind Awl and transmitted his voice to the Giant Axe Founder, "Just being attacked by about 5,000 puppets in one go doesn't feel like it's even at the peak of the sixth rank." If it were an attack at the peak of the sixth rank, the feeling of exhaustion transmitted back by the Annihilation Wind Awl would probably not be so small.

"It's not as strong as expected. I estimate that even tens of thousands of puppets combined are only comparable to a top-tier sixth-order puppet," the Giant Axe Founder replied telepathically. "It seems this is the suppression of the Primal Universe! If multitasking alone could allow each puppet to unleash its full power, then the limitations of the Primal Universe would be useless."

"And then there's the weakening of the Purple Dream Abyss Domain!" the City Lord of Chaos added. "This Domain-type Supreme Treasure is a natural counter to these swarm tactics; these machines are probably at their wits' end now!"
