501: You dare not!

How could Balota not be afraid?

Because he discovered that no matter what methods he used, he couldn't gain any advantage against the alien data.

In fact, his attacks and defenses clearly angered the opponent, making them even more reckless, and increasing the speed at which he was being devoured.

After all, Lin Tianwei, having been discovered, no longer needed to waste energy hiding himself.

He only needed to open his mouth wide and swallow Balota whole.

Despair, it was the deepest despair.

Facing Lin Tianwei's power, Balota had no ability to resist whatsoever; he could only watch helplessly as his body was continuously devoured.

No wonder the large number of Mech Clan members recently lost couldn't even send back a single message.

Facing such bizarre methods, methods that even he couldn't withstand, what could they do?

However, it was precisely in this situation that Balota's mind was focused on the interests of the Mech Clan.

Clearly, this unfamiliar data stream in front of him could not be any Mech Clan member he knew.

An incredibly powerful alien, one that was extremely effective against the Mech Clan—this was something that could make the entire Mech Clan tremble with fear.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Balota only wanted to gather more intelligence to secure a glimmer of hope for other Mech Clan members when they faced Lin Tianwei in the future.

Thinking of this, Balota cried out in terror, "Who exactly are you, and why are you so effective against us Mech Clan?"

"You and I have no past grievances or recent animosity, so why did you suddenly ambush me?"

"Even if you want me to die, I hope to die knowing why!"

Facing Balota's questions, Lin Tianwei's heart was filled with disdain.

Such childish provocation, Lin Tianwei found it hard to believe that it came from a peak Universe Master.

However, even while knowing Balota's intentions, Lin Tianwei still decided to reveal his identity, letting the opponent die understanding.

It wasn't that he didn't know the principle of villains dying from talking too much; it was simply that he felt Balota wasn't a fool and should be able to deduce his identity based on what he had encountered.

The only thing Lin Tianwei was curious about was how Balota planned to transmit the information.

This special information transmission method among the Mech Clan was precisely what Lin Tianwei needed.

With this special transmission method, he could spread the Tiger-style virus in an even more insidious way, harvesting more consciousness data from the Mech Clan and earning more cyber souls.

Under the sacrifice of enough cyber souls, Lin Tianwei might even possess the power to briefly contend with a God-King.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei sneered, "You really don't seem very smart."

"No past grievances or recent animosity? How do you even have the face to say such a thing?"

"Since you intended to make a move on me, don't blame me for striking first."

"Weakness is the original sin. Blame only yourself for being too weak; you are no match for me at all!"

The data trembled!

The amount of information contained in Lin Tianwei's few words was not small at all. Balota was not a fool and quickly found the keywords, seeing through Lin Tianwei's identity, and exclaimed:

"You are actually Lin, that incredibly cunning Cosmic Beast?"

"Why do you have the ability to digitize yourself? This ability was clearly only possessed by the experimental subjects back then."

At this point, Balota seemed to have made some kind of decision, saying indignantly:

"Shameless scoundrel, even if I die, I won't let you off easy. Let me show you what a data storm is!"

Experimental subjects?

Combining the information Lin Tianwei had previously obtained about the Zebra Clan possibly being related to the Mech Clan, Lin Tianwei quickly realized that the so-called experimental subjects referred to the Zebra Clan.

Why Mech Clan experimental subjects appeared in the Origin Universe, and why Balota knew his name, Lin Tianwei felt that Balota might have more secrets waiting for him to uncover.

However, these were all things Lin Tianwei would need to consider later; what he needed to face now was a storm, a data storm generated by Balota's self-destruction.

After obtaining the crucial information he wanted, Balota did not hesitate at all. The data storm generated by his self-destruction launched the fiercest attack on Lin Tianwei.

However, this seemingly frantic act was merely a smokescreen to conceal Balota's attempt to transmit Lin Tianwei's information to the outside world.

A piece of data, insignificant compared to the data storm yet containing a considerable amount of data, quietly merged into Balota's body, into the extremely special denilu alloy, and began to escape rapidly.

Balota actually intended to transmit this data through the simplest physical means!

However, Balota's wishful thinking was destined to fail. Lin Tianwei, who had been guarding against Balota's escape, instantly intercepted this data stream, seizing the information hidden within it, making it completely his spoils of war.

"Lord Mechanical God-King, there is a strange Cosmic Beast named 'Lin' in the Origin Universe. It possesses special abilities like those experimental subjects from back then, and is extremely effective against the Mech Clan. Even I cannot contend with him."

"This beast is extremely troublesome. If you have the chance, please kill him!"

"Lord Star Devouring Beast, Balota is incompetent and failed to fulfill your request."

"Lin is still at large. Please be aware!"

This data stream was not large. Besides some consciousness data representing Balota, there were only these two crucial pieces of information.

Although Balota resolutely chose to self-destruct, he did not want to die.

While self-destructing, he also bundled his most core data with these two important messages, attempting to escape from under Lin Tianwei's nose.

Unfortunately, Balota's little trick was completely ineffective in front of Lin Tianwei.

He could only be completely devoured by Lin Tianwei, carrying intense unwillingness,

Becoming Lin Tianwei's spoils of war, becoming a workhorse in Lin Tianwei's cyber farm.

Not only that, Balota also exposed a crucial piece of information: the special nature of denilu alloy.

With the aid of denilu alloy, even without the Exclusive Entertainment Network, Lin Tianwei could easily harvest large amounts of consciousness data from the Mech Clan.

As a result, Lin Tianwei's reserves would become even more formidable.

As for that data storm?

It had already been completely annihilated by Lin Tianwei at its very inception, fully absorbed and transformed into a pure data stream that could be digested at will.

Under Lin Tianwei's control, Balota was already beyond his own will; all his data except for his core was completely controlled by Lin Tianwei.

Being able to contend with Lin Tianwei was merely an illusion Lin Tianwei deliberately created for Balota,

The purpose was to make Balota lower his guard, not easily damage his core data, and provide Lin Tianwei with more information.

Things indeed went as Lin Tianwei expected. Through this method, he successfully captured Balota's core data,

And also obtained several extremely important pieces of intelligence.

As for the clue that the Star Devouring Behemoth was related to Balota, Lin Tianwei had already anticipated it.

He acted discreetly, not easily making enemies with beasts.

Once he did make an enemy of a beast, he would eliminate them completely, leaving no lingering trouble.

In this situation, the Cosmic Beasts that would target Lin Tianwei were few and far between, and among the living Cosmic Beasts, there was only the Star Devouring Behemoth.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Tianwei secretly thought that it seemed the Star Devouring Behemoth indeed had no intention of letting him go so easily.

The reason he agreed to his journey to the Alien Battlefield was also to better target him.

It was a pity that the Star Devouring Behemoth misjudged Lin Tianwei's strength and could not cause him any harm, instead suffering a double loss.

But this was just right; Lin Tianwei had never intended to let the Star Devouring Behemoth go, the mastermind who nearly destroyed Blue Star and almost killed him.

If it weren't for the Star Devouring Behemoth still having some strength, he would have long since become Lin Tianwei's food.

Looking at Balota's remaining Body of Steel, a Body of Steel containing a large amount of denilu alloy, Lin Tianwei, without any hesitation, directly put it into the Tiger Tooth Space.

After doing all this, Lin Tianwei looked at Lahe again.

The appetizer was finished; it was time to enjoy the main course!

...Within the space completely sealed by Lin Tianwei, Lahe was vigorously urging the Heavenly Flame, attempting to burn everything around him into nothingness, making it nourishment for the Heavenly Flame's growth.

However, as he burned, he began to feel something was wrong.

Originally, one cubic unit could provide ten units of energy, but as he gradually expanded and invaded, the energy provided by one cubic unit became less and less, eventually providing less than half a unit of energy.

Because the nature and composition of space differ, the energy it can provide will certainly vary, but it is impossible for it to drop so sharply, like a Fault, to such a low level.

It was as if some power, stronger than the Heavenly Flame, had preemptively plundered the matter and laws from this space.

As soon as he considered this possibility, Lahe's expression changed drastically.

Although he could now wield the Heavenly Flame with the Blazing Sky God-King's Bloodline, charging recklessly and appearing mighty, that was only when there was sufficient food.

Once there was insufficient food around, the fangs of the Heavenly Flame would turn inward instead of outward, directly devouring Lahe, who controlled it, to become its own burning fuel.

In fact, signs of this had already subtly appeared; Lahe's body had already shrunk by 12% under the Heavenly Flame's consumption.

Whether this was normal wear and tear or if the Heavenly Flame had already begun to devour Lahe's body, only Lahe himself knew.

As soon as the possibility of being devoured by the Heavenly Flame crossed his mind, Lahe trembled, instinctively wanting to escape the cage constructed by the Heavenly Flame.

However, just as he was about to do so, he hesitated, thinking that this might be an enemy's ploy.

Without the Heavenly Flame's protection, he couldn't possibly withstand a single move from the mysterious Cosmic Beast.

The two subordinates who were instantly killed served as the best warning.

Only by hiding within the terrifying Heavenly Flame could he protect his fragile soul and body.

However, just as Lahe thought this, he instantly reacted, mumbling:

"I truly was scared out of my wits by this mysterious Cosmic Beast; I actually lost my composure."

"Even without the Heavenly Flame's protection, he wouldn't dare to kill me."

"I am a descendant of a God-King, a Bloodline of a God-King. This is my greatest 'death-exemption gold card'."

"As long as I can reveal my identity, even without the Heavenly Flame's protection, I can survive unharmed."

"In fact, if the other party wants to approach and curry favor with the God-King, they might even let me manipulate them, and the previously unattainable Devouring Secret Art would be within reach."

Thinking this, Lahe immediately became excited.

Without any hesitation, he directly left the protection of the Heavenly Flame, choosing to remotely control the Heavenly Flame to devour everything around him.

Lahe's actions completely stunned Lin Tianwei.

He truly couldn't understand why an enemy would voluntarily abandon their most powerful weapon and appear nakedly before him,

It was as horrifying as a piece of food that had prepared itself jumping out.

Could there be a trick?

How much could a mere peak Universe Master trick? How could he make him afraid?

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei struck without hesitation.

If Lahe were to return to the protection of the Heavenly Flame, he would have to expend much more effort to kill him.

Instantaneous Movement, Throat Lock!

The familiar smooth combo was used by Lin Tianwei again. He once again gripped Lahe's neck, lifting him up like a small chick.

Humiliation, infinite humiliation!

Lahe never imagined that he would experience such a humiliating moment a second time. While his body could still move, Lahe shouted loudly:

"Misunderstanding, there's just a small misunderstanding between us. There are no conflicting interests at all; there's no need to kill!"

Misunderstanding?

You call sending beasts to block and burn me a misunderstanding?

Ignoring Lahe's idiotic remarks, Lin Tianwei's grip tightened even more.

Lin Tianwei's powerful strength seemed to strike directly at the soul, making Lahe cower in fear, his body as if frozen, unable to move.

The familiar sensation of being frozen returned. Lahe knew that if he didn't speak now, he would never have the chance to speak again, so he immediately shouted:

"Don't move! I am a Bloodline of the Blazing Sky God-King. If you kill me, you will absolutely not survive."

"You cannot kill me, and you dare not kill me."

"Release me quickly. I can choose to let bygones be bygones and forgive your rudeness this time."

After saying these three sentences, Lahe seemed to have completely exhausted the energy in his body, unable to move.

However, even with his entire body controlled by Lin Tianwei, Lahe's eyes were filled with triumph; he almost burst out laughing.

In fact, this was not the first time Lahe had faced such a deadly situation.

He who often walks by the river cannot avoid getting his shoes wet.

Moreover, Lahe's terrible personality made him incredibly hated, naturally attracting many extremely powerful beings.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful these Cosmic Beasts were, how could they be more powerful than the Blazing Sky God-King?

No matter how arrogant they were before, once he revealed his identity, they would immediately change their demeanor, becoming obsequious.

And now Lahe was waiting, waiting for the scene where Lin Tianwei would obediently kneel and beg for mercy! (End of Chapter)
