A month later, fine silver-white veins appeared on the surface of the broken world and slowly spread in every direction like growing vines.
On a macroscopic scale, the Infinite Divine Machine's spread was not fast.
But from the perspective of an individual lifeform, the Infinite Divine Machine spread almost like an infection of spacetime. In an instant, it could assimilate worlds across hundreds of billions of light-years, turning them silver-white.
The ash-gray broken world rapidly began to collapse, centered around the silver-white veins.
The Infinite Divine Machine refined ordinary matter, continually improving it.
The Sixth-Level Creature maintaining the Magic Array to block the erosion of Void energy and keep the world from falling into Destruction also noticed the changes taking place across the world.
But that Sixth-Level Creature did not give up maintaining the Magic Array. Instead, it worked even harder, as if waiting for the Infinite Divine Machine to take over the entire world!
Watching all of this, Green immediately learned the full story through his connection to the Infinite Divine Machine.
"Having sensed that the Infinite Divine Machine's nature is assimilation rather than consumption, does it want to preserve more of the entire world by relying on the Infinite Divine Machine?"
Green could understand that reasoning!
The Infinite Divine Machine did not change the essence of things; it assimilated them into itself! In doing so, it continually strengthened its power and expanded its influence on a macroscopic scale.
To some extent, the things it assimilated had not changed in essence!
Most importantly, there were no living beings left in the entire broken world. Only the world remained.
When the Infinite Divine Machine assimilated life, it destroyed that life's self-awareness and turned it into one of its own sub-consciousnesses. To some extent, this could be considered killing or enslaving
