The size and diameter of Giant Tree at the front of the team has far exceeded what Destroyer Robot Power Claw can handle.

The giant tree trunk with a diameter of 20 to 30 meters reveals unimaginable toughness.

Even Power Claw no longer looks sharp in front of these Giant Tree which contain the amazing power of Psychic Power.

Although Destroyer's Disintegrator Cannon can continue to fire, it will take longer to completely disintegrate the Psychic Power protective layer attached to the outer layer of its torso.

The glow Punisher Titan that came forward from behind lifted Hundred-Meter Greatsword, and countless Primordial Psychic Runess on the blade shone with light. The astonishing Psychic Power surrounded the giant sword and extended outwards, and then instantly cut off the grotesque Giant Tree sword with a radius of one kilometer.

However, this behavior seemed to completely offend the entire forest.

Strange lines flashed on the farther Giant Tree, and the blue-purple Psychic Power climbed up like thousands of liquid mercury snakes, weaving a crackling grid among the branches and leaves.

"Special Energy Field reconstruction detected, determined to be a hostile response."

The instructions of Iax are transmitted to each Machine Body through the quantum matrix.

"Initiate the 'TDE-38992' protocol to allow for indiscriminate environmental decontamination, with priority removal of biomass aggregates over twenty meters high."

The first to be counterattacked were twelve Gaze-Renders. These ten-meter-tall Machine Bodys were cleaning up those weird small and medium-sized creatures deeper in the forest.

However, the tree roots nearby suddenly erupted with metallic luster, strangling Machine Body like a living creature.

There was a muffled sound inside the tree trunk, and the tree core with a diameter of two meters exploded, spewing out Crimson sap with Psychic Power charge.

The sap condensed into spikes in the air and shot towards the Machine Body joints at Hiss speed, causing blue sparks to rub off on the armor surface - that was the violent friction between the nano laminate and the sub-Spatial Energy condensed entity.

"The energy in the coordinate G-7 area is abnormally enriched. It is recommended to prioritize the removal of the biomass core."

Machine Intelligence Servitors's optical sensor locked onto several Giant Tree trees with a diameter of more than forty meters further down the path, and the metal patterns on their trunks had converged into circular light spots.

The three Destroyer Heavy Robot received the command, their huge bodies turned to the target, and the assembled Gravitational Ripper began to charge.

Although gravity cannot be offset here, it is extremely easy to strengthen gravity.

There are ripples in the gravity distortion of Giant Tree, which is glowing with metallic luster and weird lines.

"Boom."

The terrible gravity tore a hole into Giant Tree and the ground.

A torrent of blazing white flames spurted out from Plasma Incinerator on Destroyer's forearm, and the blue-purple liquid spurted out from the broken ground was like the blood of the earth being burned and evaporated.

Disintegrator Ray's beams of light followed one after another. This weapon formed by focusing energy is not a shooting in the traditional sense, but builds a continuous Quantum Fault on the target surface.

The first beam of Ray hit Giant Tree's waist, and the metalized bark melted like butter, revealing the beating core of Psychic Power inside - it was a sphere condensed by blue-violet liquid, with weird Runes floating on the surface.

This is a core that has never been seen before. It seems that only these Giant Tree will appear if they are thick enough.

The forest's counterattack came swiftly and strangely. Thousands of leaves that resembled thin metal sheets tilted at the same time, pointing themselves towards the mechanical army.

Under the Psychic Power waves, these leaves suddenly shook violently, and the high-frequency whistling sound produced by the friction between them formed a sonar impact.

This overloaded thousands of Machine Body audio sensors at the site, but the overall operation was not hindered.

If an army composed of biological organisms carried out such a strange attack, I am afraid that all organisms would not be able to escape death.

The remaining Giant Tree at the top of the tree crown Psychic Power was tumbling, bursting out with a dazzling flash of light, and a large number of Psychic Power were as thick as buckets. Lightning fell, and three of them accurately hit the joints of Glow Punisher Titan. The shield was overloaded at the moment of contact, and Titan's mechanical joints made a slight creaking sound. The armor on the surface was weirdly penetrated and even left a huge hole.

Another attack destroyed more than ten Armed Sentinels following behind and injured one Destroyer Robot.

The Titan Ship group had experienced this weird attack before, but at that time, the entire forest of unknown size responded, and its huge power almost crushed Titan Ship.

But now, the counterattack power of just a few Giant Tree trees can be so amazing.

However, the damage to Machine Body is almost always temporary, and Nanite Repair Module quickly restores Machine Body to its original state.

Iax's supercomputing matrix completed the analysis of enemy data within nanoseconds, but it has not yet made any response to the crisis that broke out simultaneously under the ground.

Hundreds of Vines covered with dark blue Runes came from all directions, wrapping around Armed Sentinel's six legs like a giant python.

The surface of these Vines is covered with barbs, and every time it is twisted, a string of sparks will be scratched, and the secreted weird mucus is slowly corrupting the Machine Body itself.

A Particle Oscillation Sword from Armed Sentinel flew down, cutting Vines into two pieces, but a large number of Psychic Power spores were sprayed out from the fracture, forming an interfering fog in the air.

Destroyer's Power Claw demonstrated its melee power for the first time. These giant claws forged by the special Alloy are seven or eight meters wide when opened, and the particle oscillation field on the surface shimmers with light.

When a tilted Giant Tree tree came crashing down, the nearest Destroyer suddenly swung its claws. The Power Claw with a bionic human hand structure was firmly embedded in the tree trunk.

However, the gushing sap sprayed on its armor surface with a metallic luster like Metal Jet, scratching countless marks on Destroyer's outer shell and also thinning it out a lot.

Glow Punisher Titan strode forward, sweeping the giant sword in his hand towards those hundreds of meters Giant Tree that released Psychic Power Lightning.

The giant sword attached to Psychic Power easily split the core of the first Giant Tree tree.

When the Psychic Power sphere burst, it caused a small Warp explosion. The energy wave formed swept across the surrounding Machine Body within a hundred meters but failed to have any effect.

This Psychic Power shock wave spreads and disappears around with a Psychic Power scream that can tear apart the soul, but has no effect on the soulless Men of Iron.

The special structure and Primordial Runes smoothed out the impact of Psychic Power that passed through Machine Body, and the Grey Knightss who acted as weapon components in Radiant Punisher and Radiant Destroyer did not feel any abnormality.

But the curious Beastification Space Wolves and Diego had completely different feelings.

They are quite sensitive to Psychic Power.

As the aftermath of the Psychic Power impact swept across, Beastification Space Wolves and Diego frowned one after another.

The fear of death felt from the soul is so real to Fury.

It's just that Men of Iron didn't feel anything about it. Servitor inside the car even provided them with real-time scans to confirm that there was nothing abnormal about their bodies.

"Analysis of the enemy's core composition: a symbiosis of sub-Spatial Energy crystal and biomass."

Machine Intelligence Servitors's voice carries the rustle of data flow.

"The approach analysis is completed, try to change the attack method to increase the damage effect."

Destroyer's Gravitational Ripper started up again, and Gravitational Field hit the ground like a giant hammer. The whole earth cracked in the tremor, revealing the interlaced metal roots.

Since Giant Tree on the ground is so difficult to deal with, it may be more efficient to try to eradicate it directly from the roots.

The flames of Plasma Incinerator poured into the cracks, igniting countless roots, and blue-purple smoke poured out from the cracks on the surface, carrying a pungent stench.

However, the forest's counterattack did not stop. The destroyed Giant Tree stumps began to reorganize themselves, and the peeling bark revealed a crystal-like internal structure. Each fragment was absorbing Psychic Power in the air.

The most disturbing thing is that the reorganized tree monster began to imitate the shape of Machine Body. The tree roots twisted into the shape of Power Claw, and the sap formed a fluid like a hydraulic system at the joints - they were analyzing the structure of Men of Iron.

"This forest seems to be a Warp Lifeform that can evolve itself."

When the first Destroyer used Power Claw to crush the core of the reorganized tree monster, the battlefield fell into a brief Silence. But this Silence only lasted three seconds - deeper in the forest, there was a roar like the movement of mountains, which was the awakening of a larger existence.
