Chapter 273 A Sudden Attack on Will, Stealing the Origin
"Now!"
The moment the Reaper swarm descended into chaos, Su Chen did not hesitate for a moment.
In that instant, his mind made an incredibly bold decision.
He wanted to take this opportunity to uncover more secrets from the severely wounded "Harvest Lord"!
"Prophet, connect with my consciousness and, using the residual energy of 'Star Judgment' as a beacon, construct a channel for spiritual power leap! I want to go and see for myself!"
Su Chen's physical body, far away in the virtual space of the lunar base, suddenly opened his eyes.
His vast, ocean-like spiritual power instantly synchronized with his consciousness clone in the "Sea of the Dead" star field.
"Warning! High-intensity energy radiation and regular pollution exist in the target area! Direct mental power leap carries extremely high risks!"
"There is an 80% chance that your consciousness clone will be torn apart by the energy storm!"
The prophet's warning rang out urgently.
"The higher the risk, the greater the reward."
Su Chen's resolve remained unwavering: "Execute the order!"
"...Command confirmed. Constructing a mental power leap channel..."
The next second, Su Chen's vision blurred.
His "perspective" instantly shifted away from the bridge of the "Pangu" ship, as if it had transformed into an invisible lightning bolt.
Following the energy trail left by the golden pillar of light, which had not yet completely dissipated, it rushed towards the center of the explosion at a speed exceeding that of light!
Along the way, there were raging energy particles, shattered spatial fragments, and chaotic currents of laws.
Su Chen felt that his consciousness clone was like a small boat sailing in a Category 12 storm, which could be smashed to pieces at any moment.
But he did not back down.
His will, condensed into the sharpest blade, cleaved through all obstacles!
Finally, he "saw" it.
At the epicenter of the explosion, the "Harvest Lord" warship was completely destroyed.
But its "core" is composed of countless streams of black data and pure will.
The energy aggregate, constantly flickering and changing brightness, still floats there.
That is the true form of the "Harvest Lord"!
A powerful, intangible collective of wills.
At this moment, it is in an unprecedented state of weakness and chaos due to the impact of the "Star Judgment".
Countless core data belonging to the harvesters are constantly leaking outwards because they have lost their carriers and constraints.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"The Kingdom of Will, unfold!"
Without hesitation, Su Chen activated his strongest ability on a mental level.
hum-
An invisible golden realm, exuding an aura of holiness and majesty.
Centered on Su Chen's consciousness, he forcibly created a "pure land" of his own amidst this chaotic energy storm!
"Devour!"
The golden power of will transformed into a greedy maw, viciously biting at the flickering black core of will!
"Heretical...Invasion..."
A faint yet furious will emanated from the black core.
It had clearly discovered Su Chen, this "uninvited guest," and wanted to retaliate.
However, it had just withstood a full-force attack from a star-level being, and its power was reduced to less than one-tenth.
Su Chen, on the other hand, was waiting in comfort, carrying the full power of the "Willpower Kingdom"!
With this shift in power, the battle situation became one-sided from the very beginning.
"Sizzle—"
The golden power of will and the black data stream entangled, collided, and devoured each other in a frenzy.
A massive amount of information, like a flood bursting its banks, surged into Su Chen's mind.
The construction principles of the Reapers, the operation mode of the Disintegration Field, the command protocol of the Hive Network, their troop deployment in various patrol areas of the Milky Way, and their threat level classification to different civilizations...
At this moment, countless core secrets were forcibly "stolen" by Su Chen!
This is ten thousand times more valuable than the scattered information obtained from the Shadow's memories!
However, just as Su Chen was frantically absorbing this data, another anomaly occurred.
He discovered that his "Will Kingdom" was generating a strange resonance when it was devouring the core data belonging to the "Disintegration Force Field".
It was as if two forces, originating from the same source but heading in different directions, met at this moment.
Su Chen's "Will Kingdom" is essentially "egocentric".
It is the power of "creation" that places one's own will above matter and rules.
The Harvester's "decomposition field" is essentially "returning to nothingness," a force that "decomposes" all matter and rules back to their most basic information.
Creation and decomposition.
These are two completely opposite forces.
But at this moment, within Su Chen's divine realm of will, they actually began to merge with each other in a mysterious way!
Su Chen sensed that an indescribable, cold "gray" color was gradually appearing in his golden divine kingdom.
This touch of gray did not weaken the power of the divine kingdom; instead, it gave it a completely new characteristic.
If the previous "Willpower Kingdom" only allowed people to "distort" and "change" reality through a strong will.
Now, it has an additional option – “Decompose”.
Su Chen had a feeling that with just a thought, he could silently break down a meteorite in front of him into its most primitive particles.
This power is far more advanced and bizarre than mere physical destruction!
"My power... has evolved..."
A surge of joy welled up in Su Chen's heart.
This risk was totally worth it!
Not only did they obtain a massive amount of core intelligence, but their fundamental abilities were also strengthened and evolved in an unprecedented way!
This is an absolutely incredible gain!
"Heretical...you...have corrupted...the sacred...sequence..."
After Su Chen devoured a large amount of its essence and even "polluted" it in the opposite direction, the weakened will of "Harvesting Lord" finally let out a final, unwilling roar.
It seemed to realize that if things continued this way, it, as the "lord," would probably be completely "eaten up" by this terrible heretic.
It decisively severed the connection with the surrounding stray data.
The entire core of his will suddenly contracted inward, transforming into a barely perceptible black light that vanished instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Reaper fleet received a final order from the Lord, filled with chaos and terror.
"Retreat...Everyone...retreat!!"
The instant the command was issued.
The Reaper warships that were still fiercely fighting the Starbone Giant Devourer seemed to have been paused, and all of them stopped attacking.
Then, they turned their bows in unison, opened up dark spatial rifts, and jumped away without hesitation, disappearing without a trace.
They came strangely, and they left just as quickly.
It was as if they had never existed.
