495: Extremely shocked

Simoni's words were very reasonable, and his threats were perfectly on point. If it were a typical Mech Clan member, they would have likely stopped their attack out of fear.

However, what does the Mechanical God-King's command have to do with Lin Tianwei from my Origin Universe?

Not to mention, it's impossible for the Mechanical God-King to know about Lin Tianwei's invasion from the Exclusive Entertainment Network, which is completely sealed off at this moment.

Even if he knew, so what? As long as his true body doesn't descend, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Lin Tianwei.

In fact, even if his true body did descend, he still wouldn't be able to do anything to Lin Tianwei.

The countless Talents Lin Tianwei possessed weren't for show; just the Reincarnation Talent he obtained from the Phoenix Bird was enough to allow him to escape calmly most of the time.

Furthermore, the main reason the Alien Battlefield has maintained such a long balance is because the God-Kings of the two great universes signed a treaty not to attack each other's subordinates.

The Mechanical God-King might be able to punish Mech Clan members who violate the rules within his own clan, but he would absolutely not dare to easily attack Lin Tianwei.

Otherwise, he would face the wrath of the Origin Universe's God-King.

Simoni could never have imagined that his usual, foolproof threats would be ineffective against Lin Tianwei. He was somewhat incredulous and exclaimed,

"How dare you disregard the Mechanical God-King's command?"

"That's the Mechanical God-King, the supreme Mechanical God-King, the faith of every one of us Mech Clan!"

Under Simoni's incredulous gaze, Lin Tianwei not only didn't stop his attack but actually accelerated it.

He hated nothing more than someone threatening him!

Feeling his power rapidly draining, Simoni's expression changed from initial smugness to despair.

He even lowered his dignity and begged Lin Tianwei for mercy.

Even so, he still couldn't change Lin Tianwei's intention to devour him.

In the end, he was completely devoured by Lin Tianwei without even knowing who Lin Tianwei truly was.

After devouring Simoni, Lin Tianwei didn't directly absorb the opponent's data.

After all, he wasn't a Mech Clan member and didn't need to strengthen himself in this way.

Moreover, absorbing too much data would only pollute Lin Tianwei's consciousness, making it less pure and less like himself.

Therefore, Lin Tianwei only needed to modify Simoni's original consciousness, transforming it into a cyber soul completely loyal to him.

Just as he had done with other Mech Clan members,

Once the transformation of Simoni was complete, an incredibly productive cyber soul appeared in Lin Tianwei's Cyber Ranch!

A Universe Master-level cyber soul contained even more powerful energy, and the energy it could supply to Lin Tianwei every moment was extraordinary.

After dealing with Simoni, it was time to deal with the other two Universe Master-level Mech Clan members.

This time, Lin Tianwei didn't plan to defeat them one by one.

The battle with Simoni had also given Lin Tianwei a general understanding of his own strength.

He was fully capable of devouring two Universe Master-level Mech Clan members simultaneously, so why waste time defeating them individually?

Following the same pattern, Lin Tianwei's Cyber Ranch quickly gained two more incredibly productive cyber souls.

The operation against Alien Novice Village #512 was essentially complete; the remaining small fry wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Lin Tianwei simply used the gimmick of the Exclusive Entertainment World being freely accessible and various VIP privileges being free to claim to trick them all into the Exclusive Entertainment Network.

Ultimately, under the Cyber Virus that Lin Tianwei had become, the consciousness and soul data of all Mech Clan members in this Novice Village became Lin Tianwei's property.

The once prosperous Alien Novice Village #512 instantly became a dead city, leaving behind only the soulless husks of Mech Clan members.

Looking at the Mech Clan wreckage scattered everywhere, Lin Tianwei thought it over and finally decided to release Kai.

Although he didn't like to consume these metal lumps, Kai, being a Mech Clan member himself, was completely different.

These metals, imbued with powerful energy, especially the denilu alloy from a Universe Master, were considered supreme delicacies in the eyes of the Mech Clan.

Moreover, as Lin Tianwei's mount, Kai's strength was simply too weak.

As a result, Lin Tianwei rarely used this once incredibly luxurious spaceship.

Traversing the void with his physical body was cool, but traveling in a spaceship was also good.

If Kai's strength could barely reach the Universe Master-level, he would barely qualify to truly become his mount.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei directly gave Kai an order: "Devour all the Mech Clan in this Novice Village, the faster the better."

The anomaly in Alien Novice Village #512 would soon attract the attention of the Chaos Universe, so Kai needed to act quickly.

Otherwise, Lin Tianwei would only be able to store these Mech Clan husks in Tiger Tooth Space as Kai's backup food.

However, considering that Lin Tianwei would infinitely conquer Mech Clan Novice Villages in the future, if Kai didn't devour them quickly enough, his devouring speed would even be far slower than Lin Tianwei's hunting speed.

Dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded—this was Kai's state after being released by Lin Tianwei.

Like those Mech Clan members, after exhausting the resources Lin Tianwei provided, Kai fell into a long slumber.

Even though he was a Mech Clan member, no different from a living being, when he completely lost his life's purpose, using dormancy to ensure he remained in optimal condition, awaiting the moment Lin Tianwei needed him, was the most appropriate thing for him to do.

Just like various machines displayed in a home, they would be put aside when not in use.

In fact, when Lin Tianwei awakened him, Kai even felt a little joy, finally being useful again.

Although his strength wasn't great, he could still protect his master with his abilities.

Just like what happened in the secret realm last time, if it weren't for his intelligence, how could he have bought his master so much time to breakthrough?

It proved that Kai was not useless; he was a very useful Mech Clan member!

Perhaps the master awakened him this time to have him guard him again.

Recalling Lin Tianwei's strength when they last met, Kai felt that his master might be preparing to breakthrough to Immortal-level peak.

That was Immortal-level peak! As a mount who had followed Lin Tianwei, Kai understood Lin Tianwei's terror best.

In just over a hundred years, Lin Tianwei had actually achieved immortality.

For a Cosmic Beast with no heritage, no foundation, and no clan support, this was simply impossible.

Following such a master, while extremely prone to danger, the rewards were also proportional to the risks.

Especially since Lin Tianwei was extremely generous to his subordinates, never hesitating to 'waste' resources to enhance their strength.

Yes, 'waste resources' – the word "waste" was the essence of it.

For a Cosmic Beast in its ascending phase, any qualification was precious and would never be bestowed upon subordinates.

Only an extremely generous Cosmic Beast like Lin Tianwei could be so magnanimous to his subordinates, giving away various heavenly treasures at will.

Kai, who was once just a Planetary-level Slave, never imagined that he would one day achieve immortality.

Yes, with the assistance of the Core Code and the beast core of an Immortal-level Cosmic Beast, Kai had achieved immortality at the data level.

What he lacked compared to a normal Mech Clan Immortal was perhaps just a strong body, a strong Body of Steel.

Thinking of this, Kai subconsciously thought of the Legendary denilu alloy, a supreme treasure in the eyes of the Mech Clan, a powerful alloy rumored to be able to integrate Mech Clan consciousness data, allowing Mech Clan members to fully utilize 100% of their strength.

Just by adding even a single gram of denilu alloy to his current, not-strong-enough body, Kai would achieve significant growth, officially possessing a powerful body commensurate with Immortal-level data.

Thinking of this, Kai immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea. That was the Mech Clan's supreme treasure, denilu alloy. Due to its powerful properties, it was basically the exclusive domain of Universe Masters.

Only a few ordinary Mech Clan members with powerful connections and strength could barely obtain a tiny bit.

How could he, a mere ordinary Immortal-level Mech Clan member, obtain such a supreme treasure?

Fortunately, he still had hope; as long as he followed the powerful Lin Tianwei, he might also be fortunate enough to obtain some denilu alloy in the future.

However, it was with this thought, an extremely unrealistic thought, that Kai witnessed the most bewildering scene of his life.

Just now, Lin Tianwei woke Kai and told him to come out and devour metal.

Originally, Kai thought this was just a dirty and tiring chore like disposing of garbage, but he never expected to see a body as vast as a star, as boundless as an ocean.

That was Simoni's Body of Steel left behind after his data consciousness was captured by Lin Tianwei. Although it lacked a data consciousness to drive it, its physical strength alone could be considered top-tier.

Moreover, Mech Clan members didn't have as many flashy abilities as Cosmic Beasts; their strength relied entirely on their Body of Steel.

Therefore, this body was far more powerful than a Cosmic Beast of the same realm.

Most importantly, an extremely large amount of denilu alloy, the denilu alloy Kai had always dreamed of, was used to create this powerful body.

The sight of devouring so much denilu alloy was an absurd scenario that Kai couldn't even dream of.

However, despite Lin Tianwei's seemingly simple command, Kai couldn't do it, absolutely couldn't.

Although Simoni was dead, his residual might remained.

Even just standing there quietly, Kai felt a sense of oppression that rendered him immobile, and even a feeling that his soul was about to be completely crushed.

The two-level gap, especially between members of the same clan, made it impossible for Kai to even withstand the pressure from Simoni's body.

If it weren't for his strong will, he would have already prostrated himself on the ground.

Kai's will wailed.

He never imagined that one day, even too much happiness would become a nightmare.

Just as Kai was about to succumb to Simoni's pressure and was on the verge of kneeling, a cold snort came from Lin Tianwei's mouth, saying,

"How dare the corpse of a mere defeated opponent act so presumptuously? Still!"

Still!

It was just a simple word, yet it seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly deterring Simoni's body, making him honestly quiet down.

Kai even felt a tremor in Simoni's body, a sense of fear towards Lin Tianwei.

What was going on? This Universe Master-level Mech Clan body was actually afraid of its master?

Kai's shock was beyond words. He had thought Lin Tianwei had found a Mech Clan ruin, which was why he was released to feed.

However, he didn't expect the situation to be somewhat different from what he had imagined.

His master could deter Simoni's body with just one word; this absolutely couldn't be as simple as finding a Mech Clan Universe Master's body in a ruin.

Kai only then realized that Simoni's body was incredibly new, without any traces of time's erosion.

If it weren't for the complete absence of data aura from the opponent, Kai would even have thought he was still alive.

Such a scene was truly bizarre, as if some powerful and mysterious force had instantly killed Simoni, completely stripping his soul from this powerful body.

Thinking of this, Kai subconsciously looked towards Lin Tianwei's location.

Although it was somewhat illogical, from all indications, only his unpredictable master could have accomplished such a feat.

However, this glance directly scared half of Kai's wits out of him.

Lin Tianwei was just standing there, simply standing there, yet the aura around him was completely indiscernible, making it impossible for Kai to judge Lin Tianwei's current strength.

However, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was the countless Mech Clan Cosmic Beasts that served as Lin Tianwei's background.

These Mech Clan Cosmic Beasts exuded a powerful aura, their bodies were incredibly massive, and their presence was overwhelming.

It was hard to imagine what kind of massive war would deploy so many Mech Clan warriors.

The master actually dared to turn his back on so many Mech Clan warriors; this was simply too... bold!

Thinking of this, Kai subconsciously intended to open his mouth to remind Lin Tianwei, to warn him to be careful.

These terrifying Mech Clan warriors could easily tear both master and servant apart.

However, just as his warning was about to escape his lips, he instantly realized something was wrong.

If these Mech Clan warriors could really do anything to the master, they would have acted long ago, it would have been impossible for them to wait until now.

There must be something he hadn't noticed yet.

Thinking this, Kai looked back at Lin Tianwei's background again.

With a different perspective, this time, Kai finally noticed something different about the background.

Those seemingly powerful Mech Clan warriors, whether Immortal-level or Venerable, all shared one common characteristic compared to the massive Universe Master body in front of him: they had completely lost their lives.

Perhaps life was lost too hastily, as they still maintained their living state, lifelike.

It was precisely because of this that Kai was fooled and startled.

However, it was this reality, so real it felt illusory, that made Kai somewhat difficult to process. He truly wanted to know what had happened to his master, Lin Tianwei, during the time he was in dormancy. (End of Chapter)
