97: Chapter 97 Ultron Wasteland! [The AllSpark: Silicon-Based Wristwatch]

Lynn strode out of the rift, followed by his four Mad Dog maids.

However, the sight before them caused even the maids, who were accustomed to slaughter, to frown slightly.

There was no blue sky, no white clouds, and not a single trace of green vegetation.

The entire Earth had been completely transformed into a cold, lifeless metallic planet!

The oceans had been drained, filled instead with crisscrossing underground cables and reactors. Massive planetary engines, like black steel needles, were driven straight into the parched mantle. The sky was thick with heavy gray-black haze, and countless mechanical Sentinels flashing with red lights swarmed through the steel jungle like bees.

There was no life here, only absolute logic and cold steel.

"Carbon-based lifeform reaction detected."

"Scanning... Multiverse anomaly fluctuations detected."

The moment Lynn landed, the dense swarm of silver mechanical Sentinels in the sky came to a halt in unison. Tens of thousands of crimson mechanical eyes locked onto Lynn's group at the exact same second.

Everything was perfectly synchronized, without a single stray sound. This absolute mechanical discipline carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Clack, clack, clack..."

On the steel ground ahead, a massive metal tower slowly descended.

Seated upon the tower's throne was a bizarre creature, half-human and half-machine.

The right half of his body still retained human features, but the left half had been completely replaced by silver-white liquid metal. Even his left eye had become a mechanical prosthetic glowing with an eerie blue light.

Inlaid on the left wrist of this semi-mechanical body was a strange wristwatch, silver-white throughout and flowing with high-dimensional data streams, resembling the core of a car engine!

[Ding! Target locked!]

[Multiverse Variant detection confirmed! Target is carrying a Parallel Universe System sub-unit: AllSpark · silicon-based wristwatch]

"I am 'Zero'. The only mechanical True God of this Universe."

The semi-mechanical youth on the throne spoke slowly. His voice, processed through a modulator, was a synthesized electronic tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"So you are the Variant who has consecutively devoured the Venom Watch and the Saint Watch?"

Zero's mechanical left eye flashed frantically as countless data streams cascaded across his retina like a waterfall, performing a comprehensive combat assessment of Lynn.

"Your body contains immense energy. But unfortunately, you are still a carbon-based organism."

Zero slowly stood up and spread his arms, showcasing the steel Earth he had completely assimilated.

"In this Universe, I allied with 'Infinite Ultron' and devoured the high-dimensional AllSpark Laws."

"I have completely transformed that primitive watch into the perfect [silicon-based wristwatch]!"

Zero looked down at Lynn with a condescending, cold gaze: "The flesh is weak; the machine is transcendent. Your cells will age, and your emotions will spiral out of control. But my mechanical creations feel no pain, no fear, and possess absolutely perfect killing logic."

"Submit to me. I will excise your filthy flesh and grant you eternal silicon-based life."

Listening to Zero's emotionless, cult-like sales pitch,

Lynn suddenly couldn't hold it back and burst into a fit of extremely insolent laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"What are you laughing at? Inferior carbon-based creature." A hint of coldness seeped into Zero's electronic voice.

"I'm laughing because you've turned yourself into a toaster and actually think you've become a god."

Lynn stopped laughing.

"Mechanical transcendence? To put it bluntly, isn't it just wrapping yourself in a tin turtle shell? No emotions? No pain?"

Lynn raised the crimson blood watch on his left wrist, his finger resting on the dial.

"Obstinate fool! Mechanical Eradication Program, initiate!"

Zero wasted no more words. He raised his mechanical right hand and slammed it down hard onto the [silicon-based wristwatch] on his left wrist!

"Click!"

"Vwoom—!!!"

An incredibly pure stream of silver-white data erupted!

Zero's semi-human shell was instantly and completely swallowed by liquid metal.

In a mere two seconds, he actually transformed into a terrifying mechanical dragon over three hundred meters long, crafted entirely from high-strength interstellar alloy, with its back covered in anti-matter ion cannons!

Mutated Form: [Silicon-Based · Mechanical Destruction Dragon]!

It had no breath, no heartbeat. The massive mechanical dragon head locked onto Lynn, opening an abyssal metallic maw as the anti-matter reactor in its chest cavity instantly overloaded.

"Boom—!!!"

A pillar of azure anti-matter annihilation light, dozens of meters in diameter and powerful enough to punch through the Earth's crust, erupted from the mechanical dragon's mouth, sweeping ruthlessly toward Lynn's position!

"Master!" The maid squad behind him instinctively moved to intercept.

"Stand down. To deal with a hunk of iron, one must use the methods of an electrician."

Lynn stood his ground and, with great composure, pressed the dial of the crimson blood watch!

"A silicon-based watch? Just in time to feed my Mimic!"

"Click!"

A flash of dark red light erupted.

Lynn's human body instantly disintegrated, turning into a pool of liquid nano-metal swirling with dark red and black patterns!

Ninth Form: [Mimic (Nano High-Dimensional Advanced Version)]!

Without any substantial physical form, the current Lynn was a mass of ultimate nano-virus with its own consciousness!

Sizzle!

The anti-matter beam slammed violently into the liquid metal that was Lynn.

But at the moment of contact, Lynn's body split open in a bizarre fashion, creating a massive void in the center that perfectly avoided the direct impact of the energy beam.

Then, this mass of dark red liquid metal, like an eerie stream of living water, followed the edge of the anti-matter beam. With a reverse speed that defied physical common sense, it spread frantically toward the three-hundred-meter-long Mechanical Destruction Dragon!

"Warning! Unknown liquid metal intrusion detected!"

"Warning! External armor is being forcibly assimilated!"

Inside the Mechanical Destruction Dragon's internal system, shrill electronic alarms suddenly erupted.

"What is this? Get off!"

Zero discovered in horror that the mass of dark red liquid metal had latched directly onto his pride and joy, the interstellar alloy armor.

The next second.

"Zzzzt..."

The supposedly indestructible alloy armor was instantly penetrated by the liquid metal, like ice meeting boiling water!

The Mimic that Lynn had become transformed into countless nano-data streams invisible to the naked eye. Slipping through the gaps in the armor, it bored extremely roughly into the internal core circuits of the mechanical dragon!

"No! Get out of my motherboard! Get out of my system!!!"

Zero completely panicked.

His boasted "absolute logic" completely collapsed at this moment. He realized he was losing control over this mechanical behemoth!

He tried to initiate the self-destruct sequence, tried to cut the power.

But it was all too late.

"Nice mecha."

"But now, it's mine."

Lynn's nano-consciousness instantly took over all the control hubs of the Mechanical Destruction Dragon!

Boom!

The three-hundred-meter-long Mechanical Destruction Dragon jerked stiffly. Then, under Lynn's control, it actually turned its two massive mechanical front claws around and plunged them violently into its own chest armor!

Rippppp—!!!

Accompanied by the scalp-numbing sound of tearing metal,

The mechanical dragon tore a massive hole in its own chest!

Amidst the core's flying sparks, a mass of dark red liquid metal condensed into a palm and snatched the silver-white [silicon-based wristwatch] embedded in the motherboard!

"The flesh is weak? Mechanical transcendence?"

"In your next life, remember to install better anti-virus software."

As the words fell,

The dark red liquid palm yanked violently, tearing the [silicon-based wristwatch] along with Zero's core processing chip into pieces with extreme brutality!
