Chapter 335 Annihilation Law! Soul of the Mech Angel! The final boss is Lu Yu!
"How could it be a mechanical judge?"
Wu Xinyue murmured, her expression one of horror.
The entire live stream room of the Mechanical King Domain fell into dead silence, the light reflected from the screen illuminating their pale faces.
The three words "Mechanical Judge" represent the ultimate dream of countless people in the Mechanical King Domain, and it is no exaggeration to call them a spiritual belief.
Although the Machine Mother is absolutely fair and has computing power close to that of a true king, it is ultimately not omniscient and omnipotent, and it will still make mistakes. In addition, artificial intelligence has loopholes in its thinking and is too rigid in its adherence to ironclad rules.
It's a good thing for humanity, making machines unable to rebel, but sometimes it can also be a disaster.
For example, Lu Yu successfully used the first rule of the Mechanical Mother to protect humanity and successfully blasted through the Nine Heavens of Mechanical Heaven.
If problems arise, it will become a tool for ambitious people, so it must be checked and balanced by mechanics.
However, when individuals possess unlimited power, their desires will continue to expand, potentially turning the Mechanical Kingdom into their own possession, transforming it into a distorted mechanical empire that hinders technological development.
Never test human nature!
Therefore, the Mechanics Alliance came up with a solution: to create a Mechanics Council modeled after the Supreme Council composed of the True Kings of the Human Alliance.
To date, there are eight Judges of the Machines, corresponding to the eight major mechanical factions.
This is not because they joined forces to block the path to advancement; on the contrary, they are eager for a free-flowing competition, as this aligns with the core principles of technological evolution and innovation.
The real reason is that only factions that emerge at the level of ecosystem leaders are qualified to become the mainstream.
In a dog-eat-dog world...
Might makes right!
Moreover, becoming an ecosystem master means that this path has the potential to lead to dominance, which is the right one.
Aside from strength, in terms of seniority, among all the Mech Judges, only the Old Mech Society is the second successor. The rest were pioneers who first explored the Spirit Mech Kingdom, paving the way for the current Mech Masters and laying the foundation for the Mech King Domain.
They even pioneered many secret mechanical ecosystems, selflessly opening them up to countless mechanics and providing them with a path to advancement.
It can be said that each of them is an outstanding individual. In addition, given the long lifespan of the ecological masters, as long as they do not perish prematurely, they can lead the Mechanical King Domain to a glorious and long period of time.
The Mechanical Judges will decide the future development path of the Mechanical King's Domain, handle major events, and... through votes in the Mechanical Council.
Is the order of supervision of the machinery industry fair?
The last point is crucial.
The Machine Mother wields the ultimate power of the Machine King's Domain. If she ceases to protect humanity or encounters problems, it will lead to a great disaster.
Therefore, the Machine Judge possesses an ultimate power: in times of crisis, he can convene a Machine Council and unanimously pass the "Annihilation Law," allowing the Machine Mother to be directly restarted, data cleaned, and the Machine Soul reshaped.
Like a judge in an ancient dynasty, judging the lives of all the people of a nation.
It is a guiding light on the path of the Mechanical Engineering Department.
Even though Lu Yu blew through the Mechanical King's Domain and destroyed their homes, everyone believed that as long as the Mechanical Judge was found, everything would be set right.
But to their utter surprise, the Mechanical Judge was imprisoned within the Mechanical Mother's Mechanical Light Belt.
And it slowly rotates, circulating through the heavens. With each cycle, a large amount of mechanical spiritual energy is drawn and injected into the golden light cluster.
It pulsates like an embryo, bursting forth with a mysterious rhythm, constantly absorbing these forces, and exhaling large amounts of "waste gas" like breathing.
That is, drops of hot oil!
Under the influence of a special magnetic field, it flew onto the white porcelain of the sealed mechanical judges, further covering it and making the white porcelain darker and darker, gradually revealing the color of brass.
That is the source of the hot oil!
boom!
It has begun to recover, radiating endless negative emotions such as jealousy and resentment, like a tsunami, washing over the place where Lu Yu and Wu Xinyue are.
"This seems to be..."
Wu Xinyue looked solemn, sensing the presence of something akin to a machine spirit within the ritual. Observing this peculiar ceremony, she seemed to have guessed something, yet hesitated to speak.
Lu Yu, without any reservations, clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "What a remarkable feat! They actually used the Mechanical Mother to restrain eight Ecological Lord-level Mechanical Judges, using them as nourishment to sustain the creatures inside. Is this what they call 'Forging a Great Mechanical'?"
This one sentence shattered the last vestige of pride in the hearts of all the viewers of the Mechanical King Domain.
The mechanical judges they regarded as gods had become the nourishment for a certain machine!
It's even more painful than killing them!
If it weren't for the fact that mechanics rely on their own handcrafted mechanical parts to assemble mechanical beasts and awaken their mechanical souls, their spirituality would be far more stable than that of beast tamers.
Otherwise, it would cause mutations in at least millions of people.
But it also caused the live stream room to completely erupt in excitement.
"I don't believe it. How could the mechanical judges possibly lose?"
"Facts speak louder than words. What's the point of refusing to admit defeat? I'm more concerned with whether the mechanical judges were defeated or ambushed by an inside man."
"I was wondering why the top-tier mechanics hadn't reacted to such a huge commotion in the Mech King's Domain; turns out they were all imprisoned!"
"Eight ecological master-level mechanics working together couldn't possibly have been defeated without a trace. Could it be that a true king has intervened?"
"I'm wondering, was this done by a mastermind behind it all? Or... by the Machine Mother? Has artificial intelligence rebelled?"
"The mechanical judges all lost, defeated by the mechanical creations, and even became food. Does this mean that the path of the mechanic was wrong from the start?"
"Sparkling oil... Is this the doomsday bestowed upon mechanics by the Mother River?"
"..."
The entire Mechanical King Domain was shrouded in a lingering dark cloud, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Many people even tried to rush out of their houses to check on the Order Heaven, only to find that the Mechanical Mother's light barrier had changed from protection to a blockade.
Imprison them as well!
"Where is Grandpa?"
Wu Xinyue remained silent, then remembered her purpose, her gaze nervously searching around the second Mech Judge of the Old Mech Society for the faces of her grandfather and his mech beast.
However, after scanning the ring of weapons, which symbolizes the old weapon association, no trace of Master Wu Shou could be found.
At this moment, she felt no relief whatsoever; instead, she felt even more terrified.
If Grandpa wasn't sealed away, wouldn't that mean he's already...?
Wu Xinyue couldn't imagine the outcome. Her breathing became increasingly difficult, as if she were slowly drowning. Just as she was about to collapse, Lu Yu's voice sounded behind her:
What did your grandfather say to you before he passed away?
But she quickly realized what was happening, looked at Lu Yu as if grasping at the last straw, and said in a trembling voice:
"Grandpa said he's going to completely resolve the oil splatter issue and confront those people. He told me to stay at the repair shop and wait for him to come back. I am his world, and he doesn't want to see me get hurt..."
Wu Xinyue was completely flustered and told Lu Yu all the details without daring to hide anything.
After speaking, Wu Xinyue looked at Lu Yu expectantly and asked nervously:
"Do you know something?" Lu Yu didn't answer. He reached out to soothe the restless Red Hare, looked up at the golden ball of light, and said meaningfully:
"Eight major factions each have their corresponding mechanical cores and gatekeepers. So, what about the mechanical cores and gatekeepers controlled by the Old Machines?"
Wu Xinyue wasn't stupid; she quickly realized what was happening and stared wide-eyed at the golden ball of light being embraced by the Mechanical Mother.
"Could it be...?"
Unlike the other seven mechanical factions that were established later, the Old Machines, as the earliest mechanical faction, possessed the original machines that were first excavated from the Land of Spirit Machines.
This ritual awakened the machine spirit, laying the foundation for the mechanical system.
Only by possessing a machine soul can one become a mechanical beast!
However, the Mechanical King Domain has concealed information related to this mechanical core, which is known only to the high-ranking members of the Old Mechanical Association and the Mechanical Judges.
Wu Xinyue had heard about this from her grandfather. Having encountered different gatekeepers before, she shared this information with Lu Yu in order to better conquer the Mechanical World.
"The eighth mechanical core, named the Soul of the Mechanical Angel, possesses the power to awaken a mechanical soul!"
A sound rang out, but it wasn't Wu Xinyue's reply; instead, it was a hoarse voice echoing through the Order Heaven.
Click click click!
Suddenly, countless streams of molten oil seeped out from the golden ball of light in the Mechanical Mother's arms, intertwining in the air and transforming into a giant key made of black gears and machinery. It then embedded itself into the Mechanical Mother's Tree of Light and Shadow, turning with a "click-click" sound.
The brass luster gathered on the tree trunk, instantly forming a portal.
Da da da!
Accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, hundreds of people wearing black robes with patterns resembling brass six-pointed stars or gears emerged slowly, chanting devout whispers.
"May we forge magnificent weapons to imprison all living beings in brass!"
"He's still alive!"
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze playful. These guys had managed to escape the previous solar storm by hiding inside the Mechanical Mother's body.
These men surrounded a figure dressed in a silver-white robe with a six-pointed brass star, wearing a hood and leaning on a metal cane, as he slowly walked out.
He stood on the edge of the dark gears, looking down at Lu Yu, and said calmly:
"The arrival of the Great Machine is an inevitable destiny. All those who defy it will be wiped out. You should not have come."
The moment the words fell, the black-robed cultists suddenly unleashed their spiritual energy, and mechanical beast figures appeared, including lions, tigers, leopards, and other beasts, eagles, falcons, and even narwhals churning the sea.
The dark, scorching oil spread, giving rise to hundreds of enormous mechanical beasts corrupted by it. Their scarlet eyes greedily fixed on Lu Yu, and then they unleashed deafening roars:
"roar!"
They attacked instantly, unleashing a devastating barrage that swept across the land.
However, it shattered instantly the moment it got close to Lu Yu!
Like a gentle breeze, without the slightest ripple.
"What a powerful guy! No wonder he could break through the Nine Layers of Mechanical Heaven!"
In this scene, the expressions of the many followers of the evil god beneath their hoods were solemn as they began to forcefully drive the many corrupted dark mechanical beasts to attack.
The latter roared angrily and was about to charge forward, but the dozens of dark mechanical beasts were cut in half as soon as they took their first step.
A purple void rift opened, as if an ancient void monster had opened its eyes, instantly devouring them all.
"Eek!"
The little spider, wearing a black blindfold, slowly sheathed its phantom sword, like an elegant swordsman who traversed the battlefield.
In addition, powerful figures rose up behind Lu Yu.
The fiery black dragon ants that emanate from the star field of Qi and blood... the hundred-eyed world-devouring dragon that covers the sky of order in crimson... the Three Calamities Peacock surrounded by the divine light of the Three Calamities... the mechanical Qilin with bubbling oil...
One after another, powerful figures made no attempt to conceal their domineering aura, which transformed into a terrifying pressure that swept across the entire Order Heaven like a tsunami, instilling a deep-seated fear in all the followers of the evil god!
"Ghostly Star-Shattering Arm!"
The black and red dragon ant, transformed from a rat, unleashed a punch, causing the ghost to roar, and everything in its path turned into scorched earth.
It directly shattered many lone mechanical beast souls, turning them into countless fragments flying everywhere.
Some dark mechanical beasts of the Radiant Moon rank tried to resist, but they were instantly suppressed by the combined efforts of Egg and the Three Calamities Peacock controlled by the Rat clone.
The silver-robed man at the head of the group wasn't unwilling to make a move; rather, he had already been targeted by the little spider.
Although the spider monster was wearing a blindfold, it gave him the feeling of being watched from all directions by the void.
Anyone who dares to make a move will face a thunderous strike.
Lu Yu's pet beasts gradually eliminated the large number of dark mechanical beasts, smashing them into mincemeat or crushing them to death. With their absolute dominance, they stunned all the followers of the evil god.
In the end, overwhelmed by fear, they could only gather all the dark mechanical beasts together, huddling in a ball to defend against the enemy's attack.
Lu Yu smiled gently as he walked step by step into the void, looking down at the crowd on the ground, a sense of emotion welling up inside him.
Without realizing it, he was no longer the cautious young man he once was, so...
"My lord, I am ready!"
Paper flew out from the paper knight behind him, imprinting itself in the air with dense characters on them. These were not ancient divine scripts, but the common script of the Alliance.
Although the distance was great, the silver-robed leader was no ordinary person. Relying on his powerful eyesight, he quickly understood the contents of the document and looked surprised.
Although there are many of them, the content on each sheet of paper is the same; they are all letters...
Confession!
The gist of it is that they admit that all the crimes committed in the Machine King's Domain, including destroying public property and bombing the Machine King's Domain, were done by their great Machine Cult.
Many crimes they didn't commit were also framed against them, including the theft of some items.
This left the followers of the evil god dumbfounded; what did this have to do with them?
However, Lu Yu looked at them, nodded with satisfaction, as if inspecting a group of excellent goods, and said with a smile:
"We made a mistake by coming here, but you've come at the right time, so please sign this and then commit suicide!"
Lu Yu was very happy. Fortunately, the mastermind behind the scenes was not killed in the explosion, otherwise no one would take the blame!
Lu Yu didn't care about the other party's opinion.
If they don't want to be respectable,
Then Lu Yu will help them save face.
P.S.: I wasn't feeling well, but I finally finished.
