193: Section 193

"What about the primal body's consciousness?"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a Snake Dog lunged out from nowhere.

A war blade appeared in Jing Yuan's hand, and he slashed at the Snake Dog.

The Snake Dog immediately tumbled to the ground.

Jing Yuan rushed over and killed the Snake Dog with a single strike.

After the Snake Dog vanished, an Earth Roar appeared!

Jing Yuan stood ready, war blade in hand, and cut down the Earth Roar once more.

Next, a Sting Eel appeared.

After killing the Sting Eel, a Fuzi Beast appeared!

Every time Jing Yuan killed a Phage Beast, another one would emerge.

Phage Beasts appeared in an endless stream, and in all sorts of varieties!

Jing Yuan successively killed Twin-Jawed Beasts, Fu Pin Beasts, and some as-yet-unnamed Phage Beasts.

As time ticked by, Jing Yuan could only continue killing Phage Beasts on the Outer Ring, with no idea how Ash was doing.

After Jing Yuan killed another Phage Beast, light suddenly converged into a humanoid shape before him.

When the light solidified, Jing Yuan saw that it was actually the mana primordial body.

The primal body was actually taking action personally.

The primal body looked at Jing Yuan expressionlessly, then opened its arms wide and opened its mouth, sending a blast of energy breath straight at him.

Jing Yuan hastily used his mind to construct a shield, blocking the energy breath.

But the primal body's energy breath was continuous, and Jing Yuan's shield began to falter and retreat!

...The world outside.

At this moment, the equipment supporting the connection between Jing Yuan and clotho began to alarm, and a massive amount of energy was being diverted.

Jing Nan also received a message from the Navigation Control Room.

"Commander-in-Chief, an unidentified program is hacking into the main control computer!"

Jing Nan was also helpless; there was nothing they could do now!

...In clotho's consciousness space, Jing Yuan was resisting the primal body's energy breath, seeing the shield already pushed back right in front of him.

Suddenly, Ash appeared beside Jing Yuan and shoved him aside!

"Leave quickly! Attack the giant brain from the outside world! Only then can you completely destroy it!"

"What about you!" Jing Yuan asked urgently.

"I must stay here and block it, otherwise you won't be able to get out!"

"And Mevy, can you take her out?"

"She has already been absorbed by the primal body!" Ash said while resisting the energy breath. "Go! Once Mevy was absorbed, there was no possibility of her coming out again. She knew her mission and was willing to sacrifice herself. Now that the primal body has absorbed Mevy's life source essence and is constantly recovering, I can no longer contend with it. Only you can destroy it from the outside!"

"If I destroy the giant brain from the outside, will you also disappear?"

"Yes! But I have already transferred my basic programs to the Lighthouse's main control computer. I will continue to work as an ordinary AI!"

Jing Yuan hesitated no longer, immediately withdrawing his Mental Power and returning to his body.

"Remember..."

At the final moment before Jing Yuan left, Ash said something that left Jing Yuan profoundly shocked.

But he no longer had the time to ask for details.

Jing Yuan woke up in reality and suddenly found a surge of Mental Power chasing him through the equipment channel!

Jing Yuan's gaze sharpened, and the component on the equipment that received brainwave signals instantly shattered.

A wave of Mental Power permeated the Computing Center, leaving the nearby Jing Nan and Flynn in a state of dizziness and nausea.

Only Master Lai was fine.

Jing Yuan couldn't worry about them and jumped directly to the next level.

In the Computing Center, besides clotho, there was also a supercomputer—the Lighthouse's main control computer.

Jing Yuan came to the control console. "Ash!"

"I am here!" The main control computer emitted a mechanical voice, devoid of emotion.

This was only a part of Ash's basic programs.

"Unlock Lighthouse control!"

"Please verify DNA!"

The scanning equipment began to scan Jing Yuan directly.

"Verification passed. Unlocking Lighthouse permissions!"

Jing Yuan hadn't even reacted yet; it seemed Ash had tied the unlocking authority to him at the last moment.

Jing Yuan quickly contacted the Navigation Control Room and said, "Navigation Control Room, I've unlocked the permissions here. Report the situation!"

"Permissions released! The Lighthouse is preparing for takeoff!"

In the Computing Center, Jing Yuan felt a sensation of weightlessness, indicating that the Lighthouse was now rapidly ascending.

On the pillar platform, Mark and the others, standing ready, had been staring at the "mountain of beasts" formed by Phage Beasts, prepared to start the battle.

But at that moment, the Lighthouse ascended!

Watching the Lighthouse gradually move away from The Surface, Mark finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 196: Monarch-level Shi Ji Beast!

Inside the Computing Center.

The mental attack emitted by the primal body's consciousness persisted, but Jing Yuan was still verifying the system's integrity.

He needed to confirm that the Lighthouse's system had been completely separated from clotho.

After confirming the separation, Jing Yuan used his telekinesis to directly crush the glass vat containing clotho.

Crash!

The giant glass vat shattered inch by inch, and the liquid inside flowed out.

Without the support of the liquid, the giant brain clotho actually remained suspended in the air.

Jing Yuan jumped onto the platform. At this moment, he had no weapons on hand, only the hexagonal shield he had used for flight earlier.

Jing Yuan controlled the hexagonal shield to fly over and plunge directly into the giant brain.

Once the shield was embedded in the giant brain, the mental pressure vanished.

After Jing Nan regained her senses and saw this, she quickly shouted, "Don't!"

Jing Yuan knew Jing Nan's concerns, but he ignored them.

He manipulated the shield to shuttle back and forth through the giant brain, instantly slicing it into several chunks of mangled flesh.

Although it was the brain of a Mana Giant, it was still very fragile when completely exposed.

Master Lai had been watching this from the side, a look of shock on his face, but he didn't say a word the entire time!

Jing Yuan looked at the chunks of brain matter still floating in mid-air and felt the majestic aura of life source essence within them.

With a thought, he actually began to directly absorb the life source essence inside.

The life source essence inside clotho was actually more than that of a large-scale Phage Beast!

Seeing Jing Yuan absorbing life source essence again, Master Lai hurried forward to dissuade him.

"You will attract the attention of the ecology! Stop at once!"

Jing Yuan said dismissively, "Who cares!"

Soon, the life source essence inside the giant brain clotho was completely absorbed. The giant brain turned into a black mass, fell to the ground, mixed with the previous liquids, and was discharged out of the Lighthouse through the drainage channel.

Jing Nan looked around; the Lighthouse had not crashed.

Her earlier attempt to stop Jing Yuan was out of fear that destroying clotho would cause the Lighthouse to crash.

But none of that happened.

Flynn was also staring blankly at everything. In his heart, he had revered clotho as a sacred object.

But Jing Yuan had hacked clotho into pieces.

The expression with which Flynn looked at Jing Yuan became increasingly fearful.
