459: Encircle and attack again

The secret realm, with its many treasures and a stubborn mechanical puppet, was ultimately preserved.

After all the enemies fled in panic, Kai naturally had no need to do something as foolish as self-destructing.

All of this seemed reasonable, yet it made Leo feel incredibly strange; everything was a bit too coincidental.

However, as soon as he recalled Kai's mad and distorted steel face, Leo felt there was absolutely no conspiracy involved.

This crazy mechanical puppet was already a madman.

The problem now was that this secret realm was like a succulent piece of fatty meat, incredibly tempting.

In what capacity could Leo devour it?

Recalling Kai's madness, Leo felt that he, as a mere Immortal-level Cosmic Beast, could not seize the treasures in this secret realm from Kai's hands.

He needed to find another Immortal-level Cosmic Beast as reinforcement, preferably one with a suppression domain, to launch a surprise attack and directly suppress this mad mechanical puppet, thus easily seizing the treasures hidden within this secret realm.

Although this meant Leo would have to give up at least a third of his gains, it was better than getting nothing at all.

Selling the coordinates of this secret realm directly—to be honest, Leo was still a bit reluctant.

His brain whirred, and Leo quickly found a suitable collaborator—Sezer.

This was an Immortal-level Cosmic Beast with a powerful suppression domain.

Although his strength was only Immortal-level First Order,

it was completely sufficient to deal with a mechanical puppet whose strength was only Domain Lord Level Seventh Order.

Most importantly, Sezer's strength was weaker than Leo's, making him easier to control.

Upon hearing there was a bargain to be had, Sezer was also incredibly excited, stating that he would rush over immediately.

Considering the long journey, Sezer would need at least a month to arrive.

Leo, on the other hand, had no objections to this.

This secret realm was here; it wouldn't run away, so why should he rush?

He immediately finalized the cooperation with Sezer to jointly explore the secret realm.

As for Timsi, and the Timsi Pirate Crew who first discovered this secret realm?

Leo decided to be magnanimous and offer some resources as a bounty to purchase the ownership of this secret realm.

Timsi had to agree, whether he wanted to or not.

Facing the decision of an Immortal-level powerhouse, he and the Timsi Pirate Crew had no chance to refuse.

Moreover, he had saved Timsi's life; if he was too ungrateful, he shouldn't blame him for disregarding their brotherhood.

Faced with Leo's shamelessness, Timsi immediately sneered, saying:

"Your so-called saving my life was abandoning me and fleeing at the most critical moment? You truly are my good brother."

"For the sake of our brotherhood, I can sell this secret realm to you, but... it'll cost more."

Timsi was clear-headed; the only thing he could rely on in front of Leo was his identity as Leo's brother.

Otherwise, with his mere Domain Lord Level Ninth Order strength as a Cosmic Beast, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand before an Immortal-level powerhouse.

A single order of strength difference was enough for Timsi to struggle his entire life, let alone the more than one order difference between the two beasts.

In the end, he only extorted a small amount of resources from Leo as compensation for mental distress, then slunk away from here... Time flew by, and soon a full month had passed, and Sezer arrived as promised.

Upon meeting, Sezer greedily scrutinized the secret realm that Leo was guarding behind him.

A secret realm that could make an Immortal-level powerhouse mobilize so much could not be simple, which also meant that the rewards for exploring this secret realm could not be low.

However, no matter how good the reward, one still needed to be alive to claim it.

Putting away his greedy gaze, Sezer spoke: "After receiving your message, I rushed over immediately."

"But before we explore this secret realm, there's still one thing I need to confirm with you."

"Besides a trash mechanical puppet, is there really no other guardian force in this secret realm?"

"After all, it's an Immortal Level Secret Realm, and the dangers hidden within are unknown. Although I'm greedy, I wouldn't risk my life for it."

"I'm already immortal; why would I do something so risky?"

Achieving immortality meant eternal life, and becoming a great power was a given.

In such circumstances, many Cosmic Beasts also lost their motivation to strive and began to lie flat.

After all, as long as they didn't foolishly provoke a stronger existence, they could fully enjoy their lives.

Facing Sezer's question, Leo inwardly scoffed at him for being such a coward, but outwardly he praised him loudly:

"Sezer, you truly are a cautious Cosmic Beast."

"I can't guarantee what's at the core of the secret realm, as I haven't been inside either."

"But that mechanical puppet alone has an Immortal-level powerhouse's beast core, which will definitely make it worth our while."

"After we take down this mechanical puppet, how about we decide whether to proceed or retreat then?"

Sezer nodded slightly, acknowledging Leo's statement, and boasted:

"Specialization has its place; when it comes to bullying the weak, if Sezer claims first, absolutely no Cosmic Beast would dare to claim second."

"Don't worry, with me here, this mechanical puppet will absolutely not have any chance to self-destruct its beast core."

Seeing Sezer act so flippantly, Leo felt he was rather unreliable and cautiously reminded him:

"That mechanical puppet is not as simple as you imagine; it self-destructs at the slightest provocation."

"Not only that, but it also has a double restriction inscribed on that Immortal-level powerhouse's beast core; otherwise, how could a mere Domain Lord Level Seventh Order mechanical puppet break free from my control?"

Faced with Leo's caution, Sezer only felt that the other party was overly prudent and confidently said:

"Don't worry, with me in charge, no matter what mechanical puppet it is, it will be suppressed."

"To prevent any accidents, I even borrowed a supreme treasure from a friend that can suppress the Mech Clan—the Mechanical Shackles."

"Even the strongest Mech Clan members will be suppressed when facing the Mechanical Shackles. With this give and take, the opponent will have no chance at all."

With that, Sezer took out a silver mechanical cube-shaped treasure from his storage space.

As soon as this treasure was taken out, it began to indiscriminately release a mechanical force field into its surroundings.

This mechanical force field was extremely special; it had no effect on Cosmic Beasts, who were flesh and blood, but it had a natural suppressive ability against the Mech Clan.

Any Mech Clan member who came into contact with it would have their strength suppressed.

Theoretically, even the Lord of Machines would be suppressed by the mechanical force field, but the suppressive effect was simply too insignificant, barely better than nothing.

For a mechanical puppet with only Domain Lord Level Seventh Order strength, the mechanical force field released by this silver mechanical cube could suppress at least thirty percent of its strength.

Don't let the thirty percent suppression ratio seem low, but for a battle where a hair's breadth can lead to a huge difference, it was an extremely terrifying suppression of strength.

Seeing the silver mechanical cube, Leo's eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

With the existence of the silver mechanical cube, that mad mechanical puppet would no longer have any chance to cause trouble.

Because the Mech Clan was a hated existence in the Origin Universe, aside from some completely controlled puppets, they rarely encountered the Mech Clan.

This led to the seemingly awesome treasure in front of them actually being incredibly useless and not as valuable as imagined.

However, such treasures were extremely rare, and if one needed to find them temporarily when the time came, they would be hard to find.

Sezer bringing such a treasure made Leo even more confident about this exploration, and he immediately said:

"Since we have made full preparations, let's not waste any more time; we will immediately go and explore this secret realm."

"I have already communicated the information about this secret realm to you in advance. When the time comes, I will be in the open, and you will be in the shadows; with our cooperation, we will definitely be able to take down the mechanical puppet at light speed."

Sezer actually didn't entirely agree with Leo's plan.

He felt that with a complete strength advantage, they should just push through directly, without making it so complicated.

However, Leo was stronger than him, and this was also the secret realm he discovered, so Sezer ultimately chose to obediently listen and agreed to this two-pronged plan.

Just like that, the two powerful Cosmic Beasts once again began to explore the secret realm before them.

Lin Tianwei probably never dreamed that the secret realm he sought for peace and quiet, undisturbed by any beasts, would be like a delicious treat, frantically attracting Cosmic Beasts.

It's just unknown whether these two ignorant Cosmic Beasts have the strength to withstand Lin Tianwei's wrath... Skipping the meaningless exploration time, Leo saw Kai's figure again.

After more than a month, Kai still maintained his original turret-like shape.

Although he had gone through a great battle, Kai was even torn to pieces, becoming scrap metal.

But with the blessing of the Immortal-level beast core and endless energy, repairing this level of injury was a piece of cake for Kai; he had completely recovered to his original appearance.

He even benefited from the misfortune, becoming more compatible with Halin's beast core, which elevated his strength to the Domain Lord Level Eighth Order.

However, this slight increase in strength was merely a drop in the bucket against an Immortal-level powerhouse, completely useless.

Even though he had become alert due to Leo's invasion and had even set up a large number of warning devices around him, Kai still failed to discover Leo and Sezer, who had secretly snuck in.

At this moment, he was quietly guarding the high tower, as if nothing had happened.

Only his rapidly flickering electronic eyes proved that Kai was very happy.

After several months of observation, Kai was also extremely sensitive to Lin Tianwei's aura within the high tower.

Initially, the aura within the high tower was unstable, appearing very irritable.

But just a few days ago, the aura within the high tower began to stabilize, giving the feeling that myriad great powers were about to merge into one.

Undoubtedly, this was a sign that Lin Tianwei was about to complete the crafting of his Body of Talents.

Although guarding Lin Tianwei was Kai's honor, his strength was still a bit too weak; he had no room to retaliate against an Immortal-level powerhouse.

So, he still hoped that Lin Tianwei could come out to take charge of the overall situation and lead him to roam the universe.

As the mount of such a powerhouse, Kai also felt honored.

However, just as Kai was lost in thought, fantasizing about Lin Tianwei showing off with him, he suddenly felt an immense pressure.

As soon as this pressure appeared, it pierced through his mechanical body with irresistible force, making him feel that his Core Code had become sluggish.

Kai's expression immediately changed drastically.

This innate suppression against the Mech Clan caused his machine's performance to be suppressed, weakening his strength by at least thirty percent.

At this moment, Leo had already pulled out the silver mechanical cube.

As the silver mechanical cube operated, the mechanical force field expanded again, completely enveloping Kai in just a moment.

Taking advantage of Kai's momentary daze, Sezer let out a sinister laugh and began his own performance.

Suppression Domain activated!

An invisible domain, with Sezer at its core, quickly enveloped Kai's body, instantly freezing Kai's attempt to use self-destruction to threaten the invaders.

As soon as his strength was suppressed, Kai knew that the invisible invaders before him were not something he could contend with, and immediately prepared to control Halin's beast core to stage a self-destruction threat.

Unfortunately, Leo had already prepared a complete plan to deal with him.

Under the suppression of Sezer's suppression domain, Kai couldn't move at all.

This powerful suppressive ability not only suppressed Kai's mechanical body but also his Core Code.

Now, apart from some sluggish thinking, he couldn't do anything.

Seeing Kai completely frozen, Sezer no longer concealed his figure, instantly appearing before Kai, and said:

"Leo, I told you, a mere mechanical puppet could not escape the suppression of my domain."

"Look, isn't he obediently playing the part of a log now?"

"Quick, immediately take his energy core and go into the high tower to investigate."

"From the very beginning, I've been feeling a mysterious and profound aura lingering in the high tower. I have a premonition that this time, we will definitely discover an incredible treasure."

Sezer gazed greedily at the high tower but dared not make any move.

High rewards also meant high risks.

Stepping on a landmine was something Leo should do; he didn't believe Leo would refuse the temptation within the high tower and choose to abandon it directly.

At that time, he only needed to stay in the safest place and follow behind Leo, drinking soup.

As an extremely cautious Cosmic Beast, Sezer felt that being alive was the most important thing.

As expected, Leo's gaze towards the high tower was already filled with greed.

He naturally also felt the mysterious aura Sezer spoke of.

If it weren't for Kai, this obstacle, he would have already gone to the high tower to investigate.

But it was not too late now.

Thinking this, Leo instantly teleported in front of Kai, extended his Claws, and directly pierced through Kai's body.

When Leo's claw retracted, it was clutching a Deep blue beast core; what else could it be but Halin's beast core? (End of chapter)
