153: Chapter 153 Falling from Grace

[Ding! High-level physical kinetic energy 'Star Core Fission Fist' detected!]

[God-Demon System (3.0 Ragnarok Version) triggered — [Lossless Analysis and Modification] beginning!]

[Analysis progress: 10%...50%...100%! Congratulations to the host, successfully extracted and modified the Ancestor Version martial art: 'Titan Star-Crushing Strike'!]

The crisp system notification flashed in his mind. This was the joy of freeloading; the opponent's ultimate move would become the tool to kill them in the next second!

"Warning! Warning! Target energy band scan... still at Fourth Grade Peak!"

"Warning! Target pure physical strength measurement... two... two thousand tons?! Has exceeded the limit of conventional Ninth Grade biological beings!"

"Fourth Grade... how can you be Fourth Grade?!"

The Garrison Commander stared at Lin Yuan's body, which was flowing with dark gold patterns. "Completely independent of any Origin Force, pure physical strength comparable to a Starry Sky Behemoth?! What kind of monster are you?!"

"Monster?" Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his fist, casually shaking off a few drops of mechanical coolant.

"Go to hell and ask your Mechanical God."

"Warning! Lethal physical threat! Logic core calculation error..."

The Garrison Commander roared. He realized that facing such an unreasonable pure physical freak, any close-combat probing was seeking death.

He had to use his highest authority trump card to completely erase this anomaly!

Clang, clang, clang—!

Along with the mechanical operation, the layer of armor on his chest split open to both sides.

At the very center of his chest, a 'Miniature Stellar Core' was hovering and throbbing frantically!

Boom!

The moment this stellar core was exposed to the air, the temperature of the entire control room skyrocketed geometrically!

"That is... the Source Star Core of an Eighth-Rank Mechanical Demigod!"

The Garrison Commander's face twisted and deformed in the high temperature. Without hesitation, he poured all the Eighth-Rank Source Laws within his body into the stellar core!

"It is your honor to die under the Supernova Annihilation Death Ray bestowed by the Great Mechanical God!"

The Garrison Commander howled. The light from the stellar core in his chest grew brighter and brighter. Under the extreme energy compression, visible space cracks appeared in the surrounding area.

This strike was not only meant to vaporize Lin Yuan; he even intended to completely erase the newly launched Kunlun, along with tens of thousands of Asura Army soldiers, from the physical plane of the universe!

The world-destroying pressure of the Eighth-Rank Laws locked onto Lin Yuan!

However, facing this world-ending ultimate move, Lin Yuan didn't even blink.

"Eighth-Rank Laws? Are they that impressive?"

"System, cool him down."

[Ding! Command received!]

[God-Demon Body Forging System (3.0 Ragnarok Version) highest authority activated!]

[Core Divine Skill — Dimensional Reduction Deprivation activated!]

Buzz—!!!

The moment the system notification fell, an invisible law transcending the rules of the universe descended silently upon this space.

"Die! Supernova Anni... Anni... what's going on?!"

The Garrison Commander was about to fire the world-destroying light beam from his chest when he discovered to his horror that his connection with the laws of the universe... had been forcibly severed!

Immediately after, the system's unreasonable and domineering rules directly altered the underlying logic of this world, turning into an invisible giant hand that choked the Garrison Commander's energy core!

"No! My realm! My law dimension!"

Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, the Miniature Stellar Core in the Garrison Commander's chest, which was about to shine as bright as day, flickered twice with a 'zizzt' and then...

With a 'poof.'

A wisp of black smoke rose.

The blinding white light extinguished instantly, and the world-destroying high temperature vanished without a trace.

The Garrison Commander's Eighth-Rank Grandmaster aura, which was enough to crush everything, plummeted like it was falling off a cliff!

Early-stage Eighth-Rank... Seventh Grade Peak!

[Ding! Dimensional Reduction Deprivation judgment successful! Target has been forcibly weakened by one major realm! Target's current true combat power: Seventh Grade Peak! Duration: Ten minutes!]

In the control room, one second he was an Eighth-Rank Mechanical Demigod ready to explode a planet, and the next second his ultimate move misfired, turning him into a piece of scrap metal emitting black smoke.

"My logic core... my law dimension! What did you do to me?!"

The Garrison Commander fell into unprecedented despair, frantically slapping the dim stellar core in his chest.

Falling from grace!

A dignified Eighth-Rank Mechanical Grandmaster had actually fallen to the Seventh Grade in an instant! No matter how he mobilized his backup power, he couldn't break through this layer of shackles that seemed to be set by a god!

"Nothing much."

Lin Yuan cracked his neck and slowly reached his right hand into the void behind him.

"I just thought you were too noisy, so I'm setting some rules for you."

Clang—!!!

The sound of a blade suddenly exploded!

slaying abyss, unsheathed!

"Since the laws you take pride in are borrowed, then I'll use the most pure physical way to deliver your final rites."

Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold. The Titan Divine Power in his body poured into the blade of slaying abyss without reservation through his arm!

Bang!

Lin Yuan turned into an afterimage, instantly appearing before the terrified Garrison Commander!

"No! I am from the Cult of the Machine God's..."

"Noisy."

Swish—!

A stunning black blade light slashed out like a brilliant bolt of silk.

Two thousand tons of kinetic energy, combined with the peerless sharpness of a Seventh Grade Peak artifact, faced a mechanical body forcibly reduced to the Seventh Grade. There was only one outcome—

A complete and utter slaughter!

Crack!

The Garrison Commander's left arm was severed at the shoulder, liquid metal flying everywhere!

"Ah!!!" The Garrison Commander was just about to mobilize his Seventh Grade power to counterattack.

Lin Yuan struck again with a backhand, the back of the blade carrying the weight of a mountain as it smashed into his knee!

Bang! Bang!

Two loud explosions. The Garrison Commander's legs shattered at the knees, and his massive mechanical body knelt before Lin Yuan.

"Your steel bones don't seem to be much harder than those of carbon-based lifeforms, do they?"

Lin Yuan looked down at the Garrison Commander, who had been reduced to a human stump, only a torso and a head remaining.

In the face of absolute physical crushing and unreasonable system dimensional reduction, a so-called Eighth-Rank Demigod didn't even have the qualification to be Lin Yuan's opponent for even a single round!

"Don't kill me!!!"

At this moment, where was even a hint of the Eighth-Rank Garrison Commander's previous arrogance?

His mechanical divine body, forged from Eighth-Rank metal, had been torn apart by Lin Yuan into a pile of scrap metal sparking with electricity.

"My Lord! Great Primeval God! I am willing to submit! I am willing to hand over all the highest control rights of the Tianming Star Branch!"

The Garrison Commander rolled his eyes frantically, trying to grasp the last saving straw: "I have hundreds of billions of Star Coins here! Mountains of rare high-energy ores! I can even be your most loyal mechanical slave, fighting across the sea of stars for you! I beg you..."

"Noisy."

Lin Yuan looked down at the head, his deep eyes showing no emotional fluctuation, as if he were looking at a pile of worthless cosmic trash.
