In the central area, the Mother Tree's branches wrapped around Colossus Tower tightened almost instantly under that enormous, utterly unexpected blow.
Smack!
Countless brightly colored buds burst into bloom along the Mother Tree of Desire's branches in an instant.
Her consciousness likewise went briefly blank. The countless branches entwined around Colossus Tower trembled, and petals fluttered down in showers.
Her murmuring consciousness almost completely drifted away.
Because she realized that she, the Desire Mother Goddess... had actually been punched by a little fellow into...
Into a stun.
This...
This...
And she was not the only one.
Anyone watching closely could even see the silver-gray Colossus Tower seemingly stirring ever so slightly.
As if something inside it had also begun fluctuating violently under M's influence.
At that moment.
Every creature present, without exception, underwent M's baptism.
And beneath that giant fist.
The God of Ten Thousand Machines' projection stood there trembling as well.
His data streams churned in violent disarray, with none of his earlier indifference or composure remaining.
Then, under the gazes of the Machine Consciousnesses inside the Hive, the God of Ten Thousand Machines took a step forward. His legs suddenly buckled, and his body of data streams dropped onto one knee as he began panting violently, his expression vacant.
"Overlord!!"
Every consciousness in the Hive roared in trembling humiliation.
He had been affected!
Their overlord had been affected by that vile flesh-and-blood creature too!
``` [Ding! Congratulations! You have triggered the epic achievement: Desire of the Origins. You have received 1,000 base experience.]
[Desire of the Origins] Epic achievement: Has a chance of being obtained after using the M Fist to profoundly affect multiple Root-Level beings at once. This proves that the host has become brave enough to risk his own life to commit such a vile act.
