517: Godfall

The Mechanical God-King's malice was almost overflowing, showing no intention of holding back.

In his view, Lin Tianwei, whose strength couldn't even reach that of a God-King, wasn't worthy of his attention.

As he continuously acquired data flesh, the Mechanical God-King's power grew stronger, and his ambition gradually swelled.

With the aid of data flesh, the Mechanical God-King finally experienced what every ordinary Cosmic Beast in the Chaos Universe could feel: the sensation of being enveloped by countless Laws.

His past accumulations now completely transformed into strength, flowing back into him like a trickle, continuously enhancing the Mechanical God-King's power.

Pseudo God-King — God-King First Rank — God-King Second Rank — God-King Third Rank — God-King Fourth Rank!

In just a few short months, the Mechanical God-King had already elevated his strength to God-King Fourth Rank, accompanied by his ever-expanding ambition.

28% was the Mechanical God-King's critical point.

He didn't intend to completely transform into flesh; he merely needed some flesh as a stepping stone to leverage the universe's Laws and gain even greater power.

As a pure Mech Clan member, the only thing the Mechanical God-King truly trusted was his most powerful mechanical body.

Although he had already sensed the Mechanical God-King's malice, Lin Tianwei made no move, still participating in the God-King inheritance he had exchanged for.

This was a rare opportunity, a secluded cultivation period with a God-King protecting his path, so Lin Tianwei naturally cherished it.

Even if the 'guard dog' was a bit fierce, it wouldn't cause Lin Tianwei any harm.

A mere Mechanical God-King, from the moment he sought Lin Tianwei's help, was destined to be manipulated by him!

Combining his own insights, the God-King's Path provided by the Mechanical God-King, and the God-King inheritance exchanged for trillions of merit points, Lin Tianwei finally had a general idea of his own path to God-King.

He only needed to draw Laws into his body, driven by a certain unique characteristic within his body, and Lin Tianwei would naturally be able to forge his own God King Laws, successfully ascending to God-King.

However, the most difficult part was this unique characteristic; through his attempts, Lin Tianwei found that he simply didn't possess such a trait.

There were countless Laws, and regardless of their strength, their affinity with Lin Tianwei's Body of Talents was passable, but not to the extent of complete integration.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei subconsciously recalled the several God-Kings he had met.

The Mechanical God-King was too special to provide any reference, so he was naturally the first target Lin Tianwei ruled out.

Compared to the Heavensea God-King and the Star Devouring Behemoth, the most obvious example was the former Blazing Sky God-King, a spirit entirely composed of fire Law.

Lin Tianwei had once carefully perceived the Blazing Sky God-King's state, and he had only one thought: the Blazing Sky God-King might be a spirit purely composed of fire Law.

Therefore, this characteristic was very likely the purest Law, without a trace of contamination, a pure Law.

Only such pure Law could attract the same Law in the world, condense God King Laws, and allow oneself to ascend to God-King.

That is to say, every God-King was a spirit of Law, inherently pure beyond compare, possessing the terrifying power to control a certain Law.

Bloodline? Talent?

Lin Tianwei hadn't expected that after striving for so long, he would ultimately be defeated by such a preposterous notion.

Unless Lin Tianwei now abandoned his hard-won Body of Talents and found another path, condensing a Law Body,

otherwise, no matter how hard Lin Tianwei tried, he would not be able to achieve God-King status.

This situation could not be called Lin Tianwei's sorrow; it could only be called the sorrow of the entire universe, tragic to the extreme.

Those Universe Masters who had strived for countless years to achieve God-King status probably never imagined that their fate of being forever unrelated to God-King had been sealed since their birth.

Sighing softly, Lin Tianwei showed no discouragement.

Since the Mechanical God-King could find another path to achieve God-King status, it meant that there were far more than just these two paths to becoming a God-King.

As long as he continued to explore and accumulate more knowledge, in the future, he would definitely be able to achieve God-King status through his own strength, just like the Mechanical God-King.

Law Body!

A word quickly flashed through Lin Tianwei's mind; he thought this might be the most suitable choice for him.

When Talent was completely replaced by the Law as the origin, Lin Tianwei's body would also fully evolve into a Law Body, becoming a spirit that controlled all Laws, and becoming a God-King would then be a matter of course.

At that time, the God King Laws that Lin Tianwei would master would not be one, but countless, inherently stronger than all other God-Kings.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei's eyes blazed with fire; this was his choice.

At this moment, realizing his true path to God-King, Lin Tianwei's secluded cultivation officially ended, and a broad road awaited him, requiring only him to continue walking down it.

It was also time to deal with this vicious guard dog!

Under Lin Tianwei's control, his speed of digesting and absorbing data suddenly accelerated; the data that would originally take ten times longer to digest and absorb was absorbed by him in an instant, transforming into energy within his body.

However, after reaching this step, Lin Tianwei did not continue the operation of reversing the data into flesh and blood.

In other words, Lin Tianwei directly devoured 5% of the Mechanical God-King's data, turning it into his own sustenance.

The moment Lin Tianwei enriched himself, the Mechanical God-King's expression changed.

He was naturally extremely sensitive to his own data; the instant it was completely devoured by Lin Tianwei, he felt it and roared:

"How dare you, you brat?!"

The Mechanical God-King never imagined that Lin Tianwei would dare to perform such a violating operation even in the face of his increased strength.

If he were to do that, he should have done so before he became stronger, when he still bore the title of 'Pseudo God-King'.

However, how could the Mechanical God-King know that Lin Tianwei was not like him, a piece of scrap metal without integrity.

Lin Tianwei would naturally carry out what he promised, unless the other party breached the contract.

Moreover, if he had black-heartedly swallowed the Mechanical God-King's data from the beginning, where would Lin Tianwei find such a good guard dog to protect his ascension place?

Facing the enraged Mechanical God-King, Lin Tianwei merely said calmly, "There's nothing in this world I don't dare to do."

"Mechanical God-King, you seem to think you have victory in your grasp, completely controlling me, and you don't even bother to hide it a little."

"It's a pity, you are still too arrogant and conceited."

"Well, let me kindly teach you one more thing: there are always people better than you, and there's always a higher heaven."

"Consider it a return for your enthusiastic hospitality, for inviting me to taste such delicious data."

Lin Tianwei's words immediately stunned the Mechanical God-King; he found it incredibly difficult to understand how Lin Tianwei, a mere Universe Master, dared to speak so arrogantly in front of such a powerful him.

However, before the Mechanical God-King could make a move, he received Lin Tianwei's personal explanation.

The instant Lin Tianwei's voice fell, he directly transformed into a massive data stream, suspended in space, and fiercely charged towards the Mechanical God-King.

"How bold! You actually dare to actively engage me in a data battle."

"Very well, I shall let you witness what it means for a God-King to be unshakeable."

"An ant trying to shake a tree will only bring about its own destruction!"

Facing Lin Tianwei's active attack, the Mechanical God-King paid no attention to it, even having time for idle chatter.

Who was he?

He was the Mechanical God-King, the absolute king on the data level, so how could he fear a data-level attack?

However, the Mechanical God-King's confident face underwent an extremely dramatic change the moment he truly encountered Lin Tianwei's attack.

He actually felt an extremely massive amount of data from Lin Tianwei's attack,

a terrifying amount of data so vast that he couldn't resist it at all.

Not only that, this data was also extremely aggressive, frantically attacking the Mechanical God-King's data.

Talent: Consciousness Datafication!

Talent: Core Code!

Under the blessing of two major data Talents, plus Lin Tianwei having devoured 5% of the Mechanical God-King's data,

and considering the Mechanical God-King was not in his peak state, having also consumed 25% of his data to transform into flesh.

This seemingly impossible God-slaying battle actually saw Lin Tianwei possessing an absolute crushing advantage.

That terrifying data, like a terrifying virus, gained the upper hand the moment it came into contact with the Mechanical God-King, causing the Mechanical God-King to retreat steadily.

This was the consequence of the Mechanical God-King wanting to have his cake and eat it too!

If he had completely abandoned his mechanical body and fully prioritized his flesh body, this data-level attack would not have been able to affect the Mechanical God-King's actions at all.

He could have completely destroyed the data carrying Lin Tianwei's consciousness and body while engaged in a data battle with Lin Tianwei.

But the current situation was completely different.

Even if the Mechanical God-King wanted to control the flesh he had so painstakingly transformed to control the situation, he couldn't break free from the constraints of his mechanical body.

His proud mechanical body, once breached by Lin Tianwei, would instead become the greatest force hindering him.

Of course, the Mechanical God-King's biggest mistake was daring to offend Lin Tianwei, daring to offend Lin Tianwei when there were no conflicts of interest; this was simply courting death.

Wouldn't it have been better to quietly complete the transaction?

Since the Mechanical God-King was bent on dying, Lin Tianwei didn't mind mercifully sending him on his way!

28% was the Mechanical God-King's critical point, and it was also Lin Tianwei's critical point.

A critical point where he could completely suppress the Mechanical God-King!

In a sense, Lin Tianwei, possessing the Mythical-grade Talent: Core Code, was a true God-King on the data level.

Coupled with the power of his Body of Talents, suppressing a Mechanical God-King with only 70% of his strength was simply effortless.

"No, you can't do that. We are the best partners; we should help each other and not resort to hostility."

This data-level battle might last a long time, but the outcome was already determined the moment Lin Tianwei successfully suppressed the Mechanical God-King's data.

What followed was merely some meaningless garbage time.

It was precisely because of this that the Mechanical God-King began to call for help at the first possible moment.

At this moment, he no longer had any semblance of a God-King's majestic demeanor, looking exactly like a whimpering puppy, begging Lin Tianwei for forgiveness, trying to make Lin Tianwei spare his life.

It was a pity; what kind of existence was Lin Tianwei? How could he make the mistake of being a bleeding heart at such a critical moment?

For disobedient mad dogs, beating them to death with a stick was the best choice.

Amidst the Mechanical God-King's continuous pleas for mercy,

Lin Tianwei not only did not slow down his offensive but instead exerted his maximum strength,

storming the Mechanical God-King's mechanical body, frantically devouring the data that originally belonged to the Mechanical God-King.

If Lin Tianwei could indirectly kill the Blazing Sky God-King, he could naturally directly kill the Mechanical God-King with his strength.

Even though he had not yet achieved the God-King realm, Lin Tianwei already possessed the power to slay gods!

...The duration of this battle was much shorter than the Mechanical God-King had imagined.

He had thought his data was powerful enough that even if he was defeated, he should at least be able to hold out against Lin Tianwei for a very, very long time.

The longer the time, the more variables there would be.

If an existence with certain strength intervened in this data battle, the Mechanical God-King might still be able to find a glimmer of hope.

It was a pity; the Mechanical God-King had truly underestimated Lin Tianwei's terrifying devouring ability.

As he continuously devoured the Mechanical God-King's data, Lin Tianwei's data body also grew stronger.

Like a snowball, he could completely crush the Mechanical God-King into dust in an instant.

"I curse you, I curse you, this trash who backstabs allies, to die a terrible death!"

Finally, amidst the Mechanical God-King's venomous curse, Lin Tianwei devoured the last bit of his data, completely winning this data battle.

The arrogant Mechanical God-King ultimately perished at Lin Tianwei's hands due to his own arrogance.

As for the malicious curse before his demise? Lin Tianwei found it utterly laughable.

Who was truly backstabbing allies? The Mechanical God-King was truly shameless to a ruthless degree.

If Lin Tianwei hadn't had some strength, enough to slay gods, this time it might have been Lin Tianwei himself who was completely annihilated.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has obtained the Talent: Data Enlightenment (Mythical)."

"Ding, please confirm whether to use this Talent."

"Data Enlightenment (Mythical): A Mythical-grade Talent. The host's data will possess extremely high spirituality, with the extraordinary ability to enlighten data into data life."

The Talent extraction system was never late; the moment Lin Tianwei killed the Mechanical God-King, he received a prompt, a prompt about obtaining a Mythical-grade Talent.

However, before Lin Tianwei could react, he felt the Laws of the Chaos Universe vibrate violently, as if a terrible disaster was about to occur.

God's Fall!

This terrifying disaster, capable of affecting the entire universe, was the only term Lin Tianwei could think of. (End of this chapter)
