167: Chapter 165 A Head-on Clash with a Mechanical God!
At this moment, one hundred thousand warships seemed to have been imbued with life.
They no longer fought individually, but were forcibly bound by a True World mechanical law that transcended cognition.
Clack, clack, clack—a harsh sound of metal grinding echoed through the Endless Void.
Tens of thousands of warships frantically converged and spliced together like building blocks.
The main flagship transformed into a massive thoracic reactor, the cruisers folded into thick arms, and the frigates reassembled into joints and leg armor.
Countless blue energy veins coursed between the steel, stitching the entire fleet into a single entity.
Lin Mo hovered in mid-air, watching the changes before him with great interest.
It took only ten seconds.
A steel giant, standing hundreds of millions of meters tall, stood amidst the storms of the Boundary Sea.
It was so massive that it even blocked out the Primordial World behind Lin Mo.
It had no facial features; its head was a frantically rotating star-class power source.
The True World's mechanical rules flowed across its armor surface. Just by hovering there, its immense mass churned the surrounding space, whipping up a terrifying Boundary Sea storm.
The steel giant, hundreds of millions of meters tall, slowly raised its right arm.
Before the strike even landed, the laws within millions of miles had completely solidified.
A massive sense of oppression descended, as if an entire starry sky were crashing down.
"No matter what you are..."
From within the mechanical master, Commander Gue's electronically synthesized voice, amplified hundreds of times over, rumbled through the void.
"Today, you must die!"
Lin Mo looked up at the steel giant palm that blotted out the sky. Instead of retreating, his eyes erupted with an even more intense brilliance.
He twisted his neck, his bones emitting crisp cracking sounds.
"Are you mashing scattered experience capsules into one giant experience pack?"
"How thoughtful."
The eternal chaotic mist of the Boundary Sea was forcibly torn apart by the terrifying pressure of this punch.
The Boundary Sea boiled completely.
Violent spatial turbulence turned into tangible wind blades, scraping against the boundary wall of the Primordial World.
Before the fist had even landed, an unrivaled gravitational field had locked onto Lin Mo.
The surrounding space felt as if it had been filled with heavy mercury, becoming suffocatingly viscous.
"Lin Mo, is it? To be able to force out our race's Tier 3 Mechanical Deity formed by one hundred thousand warships, you have every right to be proud!"
Commander Gue's electronically synthesized voice echoed through the Boundary Sea.
It carried the satisfaction of venting his anger and a sense of condescending contempt.
"But this is the end! Die, native!"
Facing the steel giant fist that crashed down like a falling star, Lin Mo didn't even plan to dodge.
He raised his head, his lips curling upward.
"You are not bad; you are qualified to see my true form."
Lin Mo slammed his hands together.
His one-billion-meter Inner World shook violently, and over three thousand law flowers bloomed in unison.
The terrifying energy from his source awakening surged wildly through his limbs and bones.
"Law Avatar, activate!"
Hum—a blinding golden-black beam of light centered on Lin Mo instantly pierced through the Endless Void of the Boundary Sea.
More than three thousand Great Dao laws intertwined, wrapped, and recombined like chains within the beam of light.
The Law Avatar, which had once only revealed a single palm on the ice field, now fully displayed its entire form.
A chaotic avatar, also standing hundreds of millions of meters tall, rose from the ground.
The avatar bore the exact same face as Lin Mo.
It wore armor woven from dark red flames and deep blue ice.
It was surrounded by three thousand types of laws, including water, fire, time, and thunder.
The tangible divine might and sense of oppression were in no way inferior to the mechanical deity before it.
"What?!"
In the main flagship's control room, Commander Gue sprang up from his bone throne.
The adjutant stared fixedly at the radar screen, his voice hoarse from shock.
"Peak Tier 3 Transcendent!"
"His Law Avatar's energy level response has reached Peak Tier 3 Transcendent!"
"This is impossible! A native from an E-rank world—what could he possibly use to support such a massive Law Avatar?!"
Bang! Before the Tali Tribe high-ranking officials could recover from their shock.
The two behemoths, both hundreds of millions of meters tall, had already slammed their fists into each other in the Boundary Sea.
There was no technique involved.
It was a collision of pure kinetic energy and laws.
At the center of the impact, a light more blinding than a supernova eruption burst forth.
The Boundary Sea space for a million miles around shattered instantly into countless black spatial fragments, like an ice sheet struck by a hammer.
A storm of destruction swept in all directions.
Even the meteor belt lingering in the far distance was pulverized into dust by the shockwave.
Stalemate!
The mechanical deity and the Law Avatar locked fists.
Terrifying energy ripples spread out in circles.
"He blocked it..."
Commander Gue gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.
This mechanical deity, cobbled together from one hundred thousand warships, was the absolute trump card of their 3rd Fleet!
In past campaigns, it could even withstand Tier 4 Transcendent Boundary Sea beasts, and had even had chances to counter-kill them!
Today, it was actually stopped head-on by a lone native?
"I don't believe it!"
Commander Gue slapped the console, his eyes bloodshot.
"All engines, overload! Push the reactor power to two hundred percent!"
"Crush him with absolute power!"
The mechanical body composed of one hundred thousand warships lit up with blinding red light simultaneously.
Inside the mechanical deity's chest, a manic heart seemed to be beating violently.
Immense power surged along the steel skeleton and gathered in the right arm.
Creak—
The balance of power began to tilt.
The Law Avatar was pushed backward by this unreasonable, immense force.
Every step it retreated, it trampled out a vacuum zone in the Boundary Sea.
On the avatar's arms, the law chains representing space and thunder began to crack.
"It's suppressed!"
The adjutant shouted excitedly, "His laws are collapsing! He can't hold on!"
A cruel smile reappeared on Commander Gue's face.
"Keep up the pressure! Hammer him and that avatar into meat paste!"
The mechanical deity swung its left arm, a heavy fist smashing hard into the avatar's chest.
Boom!
The ice-fire armor on the Law Avatar's chest shattered over a large area.
Hundreds of law lights dimmed.
However.
Lin Mo, located at the center of the avatar's brow, showed not a hint of panic.
"Impressive!"
"But if that's all you've got, you can't kill me."
The Extraterrestrial Demon source within his body was operating at an unprecedented speed.
In his two-billion-meter Inner World, the roots of the world tree had long since pierced into the Endless Void, drawing energy endlessly!
Just at the moment the Law Avatar was damaged.
A pure energy as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea surged violently through the roots into Lin Mo's body.
"Repair."
Lin Mo snapped his fingers.
The Law Avatar, which had been on the verge of collapse, shone brilliantly within a second.
The shattered ice-fire armor reassembled instantly.
The broken law chains reconnected.
Even the avatar's stature grew by several thousand meters.
Before the mechanical deity's second punch could land, the avatar backhanded it across the face.
Crack!
Seven or eight frigates forming the mechanical deity's body exploded into a sky of fire under this immense force.
Experience + 10 Jing.
Experience + 15 Jing.
Lin Mo's experience bar began to jump frantically again.
"This..."
Commander Gue was stunned.
The ecstatic look on the adjutant's face froze completely, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
"Commander... his energy response hasn't dropped."
"Not only has it not dropped, it's still rising!"
"How is this possible!"
Commander Gue grabbed the adjutant by the collar and roared,
"Such a massive Law Avatar, suffering such heavy damage—doesn't he need to consume his source to repair it? Is his energy infinite?!"
No one could answer him.
In the Boundary Sea.
Lin Mo controlled the Law Avatar and took the initiative to attack.
The avatar kicked the mechanical deity in the abdomen.
That was an armored area spliced together from hundreds of heavy cruisers.
With this kick, the harsh sound of metal breaking echoed through the void.
Large swaths of hull armor peeled off like scales.
Countless Tali Tribe soldiers, along with the wreckage of their warships, were swept into the spatial turbulence.
System notifications rang in Lin Mo's mind like a joyful symphony.
Level 13000.
Level 13500.
His level continued to soar aggressively.
"Damn it! Counterattack! Counterattack immediately!"
Commander Gue roared hoarsely.
The mechanical deity stabilized its stance, its massive mechanical arms simultaneously erupting with destructive blue high-energy beams, blasting the avatar at point-blank range.
Most of the avatar's body was pulverized by the high-energy impact.
But it was useless.
Less than two seconds passed.
A massive amount of Extraterrestrial Demon source energy surged from the void, and the avatar recovered to its original state again.
Not only did it recover, it even became slightly stronger!
And what about the mechanical deity?
The armor that was knocked off was gone.
The warships that were destroyed were destroyed.
In this chaotic Boundary Sea, they had neither the materials nor the time to repair this massive war machine.
This was an unequal war of attrition.
One side was a dead object forcibly combined by relying on the foundation of warships.
The other side was an Extraterrestrial Demon that was rooted in the void, had infinite blood-sucking capabilities, and grew fiercer the more it fought!
An hour later.
One of the mechanical deity's arms was forcibly ripped off by the avatar.
The wreckage of thousands of warships rained down into the void like a meteor shower.
Two hours later.
The mechanical deity's thoracic armor was hammered into a severe depression.
The reactor's red light flickered uncertainly, emitting a piercing overload alarm.
Three hours later.
The mechanical deity knelt on one knee in the void.
That arrogant steel beast was now dismantled and in tatters.
"Why..."
Commander Gue slumped on the bone throne, staring hollowly at the screen.
"Why can't we exhaust him to death..."
The adjutant clutched his hair in despair.
"Commander, the mechanical deity's damage rate has reached sixty percent."
"Energy reserves are less than ten percent."
"We can't keep fighting! If we continue, our entire 3rd Fleet will be finished here!"
Commander Gue's body trembled violently.
Retreat?
An army of one hundred thousand had set out, not only failing to take down that native world.
But instead, they were beaten up in a one-on-one fight right at their doorstep.
Even their trump card, the mechanical deity, had been dismantled into scrap metal.
If he went back like this, the Tali Tribe Supreme Council would absolutely tear him apart alive!
"No..."
Commander Gue suddenly raised his head, a flash of absolute madness in his bloodshot eyes.
"We still have one last card!"
He rushed to the main console and shoved the adjutant aside.
After inputting a series of complex secret commands.
Commander Gue slammed down a pitch-black skull button.
