176: Chapter 174 Ten against one? No, it's nine against nine now.

The reactors in the chests of the ten mechanical gods lit up simultaneously.

Ten heaven-destroying beams of light tore through the darkness, merging into a torrential stream of energy that pierced the galaxy and struck directly at Lin Mo.

The void was scorched and distorted.

Petals of laws shattered one by one.

As soon as Lin Mo's dharma image touched the beams, its golden defensive light disintegrated inch by inch.

The divine pillars snapped, and the dharma image collapsed.

Even his physical body was instantly vaporized in that terrifying energy.

There was no stalemate and no counterattack.

There wasn't even time for a single explosion to be heard.

Lin Mo was completely erased into nothingness.

In the command hall of the Star Destroyer, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Adjutant Gu Ming sneered.

"Mayflies trying to topple a tree."

Several senior officers nearby also laughed along.

"Energy level zero, life signs zero."

"So what if he is at the peak of Level 3 Transcendence? He is just trash that can be dealt with in a single volley."

"A native is just a native, actually arrogant enough to try and tank a mechanical god."

Commander Gu Yuan lifted his chin slightly, preparing to order the cleanup of the battlefield.

But the next second.

The radar detector began to vibrate like crazy.

Red alarms flooded the entire hall.

"Report!"

The monitor's voice changed pitch.

"Lin Mo... has appeared again!"

The laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Adjutant Gu Ming turned his head abruptly.

"What did you say?"

On the main screen, in the area that had just been blasted into nothingness.

A figure walked out slowly.

Lin Mo was completely unharmed.

He even brushed off non-existent dust from his shoulders.

"Not bad firepower."

He looked up at the fleet with a smile.

"Too bad it can't kill me."

The entire Tali Tribe army fell silent for a moment.

Before they could react.

One.

Two.

Three.

...

Seven Lin Mos walked out from the shadows side by side.

Each one's appearance, aura, and fluctuations of laws were exactly the same as the original.

Behind them, seven dharma giants, millions of meters tall, rose from the ground simultaneously.

Over three thousand types of law phenomena unfolded behind the giants, like seven black canopies pressing down.

The nearby meteorites could not withstand the pressure and exploded into debris one after another.

Adjutant Gu Ming's eyes almost popped out.

"What the hell is that?!"

There was dead silence in the fleet's public channel.

The Tali Tribe soldiers who were just laughing were all like people whose necks had been grabbed.

Seven Lin Mos looked up simultaneously.

Seven gazes, like seven nails, were fixed simultaneously on the mechanical god on the far left.

Lin Mo couldn't be bothered with small talk.

"Go."

Seven voices rang out at the same time.

The next moment, the dogpile began.

The seven sky-covering dharma images spanned the void, like seven giant beasts pouncing on their prey.

The dharma image on the left locked onto the mechanical god's right leg.

The dharma image on the right seized its arms.

The three dharma images in front swung their fists, pummeling the chest armor.

Bang! Thud! Clang!

The sound of metal colliding shook the Boundary Sea.

That mechanical god couldn't even adjust its stance in time.

The outer defenses exploded layer by layer.

The chest armor was smashed in by hundreds of meters.

Fire gushed out from the cracks, and the surface of the internal power core was covered in cracks.

Inside the Star Destroyer, the combat damage data was flashing red frantically.

"Left wing Unit 1, outer armor damage at thirty percent!"

"Fifty percent!"

"Core pressure out of control!"

"Warning! Warning! The unit is about to disintegrate!"

At the same time.

Lin Mo's system panel was also jumping wildly.

Level 18500! Level 19000! Level 20000!

Experience points, like a black tide released from a dam, flooded into his body.

As his level rose higher and higher, his origin reserves surged accordingly.

Deep in the Boundary Sea, space split open again.

The eighth dharma image stepped out of the darkness.

Immediately after.

The ninth dharma image descended.

The nine Lin Mo entities stood side by side in the void, arms crossed over their chests, each one's posture more arrogant than the last.

The two newly appeared dharma images did not pause for a second and joined the battle immediately.

Nine against one.

Lin Mo softly spat out a single word.

"Shatter."

Nine forces erupted simultaneously.

Eighteen giant hands, reaching into the sky, gripped the cracks on the mechanical god and tore it apart violently to both sides.

The teeth-gritting sound of metal tearing spread throughout the entire star sector.

Boom!

A peak Level 3 Transcendence civilization war machine was ripped in half.

The main reactor lost containment and exploded on the spot like a small supernova.

Blinding light illuminated half the star sector.

Metal fragments wrapped in high-pressure fire streams flew everywhere.

The Tali Tribe operators inside the machine didn't even have time to scream before they were blown to ashes.

The entire process took less than three seconds.

Before anyone could even react, the situation had instantly reversed.

Just a moment ago, the ten Tali Tribe mechanical gods were encircling and killing Lin Mo.

Now, only nine war machines remained.

And on Lin Mo's side, there were also nine dharma images standing proudly in the Boundary Sea.

Commander Gu Yuan stared fixedly at the main screen.

His palm pressed against the console, his knuckles deforming the metal edge.

His mind was blank.

This native...

What kind of monster is he?

Three billion Tali Tribe elites, the entire army, fell silent.

That sense of absurdity spread through the fleet like a cold tide.

The battlefield froze briefly.

The nine Lin Mos moved in perfect unison, raising their hands and pointing at the remaining nine mechanical gods.

He chuckled.

"Ten against one, is that impressive?"

"Sorry."

"Now it's nine against nine."

The mocking voice traveled through the language channel into the ears of every Tali Tribe member.

The entire fleet was deathly silent.

Commander Gu Yuan's face showed anger.

That native madman actually took advantage of the army's daze to tear apart a civilization war machine with his bare hands!

Arrogant.

Too arrogant!

This wasn't just a provocation.

This was rubbing the Tali Tribe's face in the dirt.

"Damn it..."

Commander Gu Yuan gritted his teeth until they clicked.

A violent wave of energy exploded from within him, sending several nearby floating consoles flying, crashing into the bulkhead and sparking.

That guy didn't take his threat seriously at all.

If this dragged on, the losses would only get bigger.

He couldn't afford to waste time with him any longer.

Commander Gu Yuan looked up, his voice as cold as a blade.

"Initiate the ultimate contingency plan!"

The order traveled through the encrypted communication network, spreading across the entire star sector.

"Highest authority unlocked."

"Abandon independent tactical formations."

"All fleet units, listen up!"

He raised his index finger and pressed heavily on the scarlet button in the center of the main console.

"Nine Gods into One!"

This voice, like thunder, crashed into the pitch-black Boundary Sea.

The moment they received the order, the nine surviving mechanical gods deep in the Boundary Sea immediately ceased all movement.

Their massive bodies began to vibrate.

The main cannons in their chests retracted into their armor in unison.

Their thick mechanical arms folded outward, revealing dense neural pipelines and high-pressure circuits.

The outer anti-riot shield plates peeled off one by one.

Like nine giant beasts molting in the darkness simultaneously.

The next moment.

With the mechanical god in the center as the anchor, the eight war machines on either side turned into blinding dark-gold streams of light and slammed into it violently.

No cushioning.

No evasion.

It was the most brutal combination.

Rumble—

The meteorite clusters millions of miles away were swept by the sound waves and exploded into powder in swathes.

The metal skeletons interlocked.

Liquid energy flowed along the pipelines like dark-gold blood, thoroughly connecting the meridians of the nine units.

In the distance.

Lin Mo's original body and his eight clones stood side by side.

He didn't take the opportunity to interrupt.

He even rubbed his chin with great interest.

"Holy crap."

"This toy of yours is truly cool."

Lin Mo's eyes even lit up.

"Where did you buy it? Does the company sell it? Give me a link."

Several Lin Mo clones nearby also pointed and gestured along.

"The special effects for this combination are not bad."

"It's just a bit loud; probably can't play with it at home."

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about martial virtue; I just want to see the full version."

The nine Lin Mos stood in the void, as if they were browsing an exhibition of Boundary Sea war weapons.

There was no tension at all.

Inside the bridge of the Star Destroyer, many Tali Tribe generals had ashen faces.

Commander Gu Yuan's gaze was even colder.

But he didn't speak again.

Because the combination had entered the final stage.

In front of their line of sight.

That main unit began to expand crazily.

The originally hundreds-of-millions-of-meters-tall mechanical god surged in volume again, like a dark-gold war continent rising from the depths of the Boundary Sea.

The nine main reactors stacked together, forming a heart like a black hole.

Deep blue flames gushed from the core, bright as a star on the verge of exploding.

Four giant, sky-reaching arms, composed of countless star-destroying ships, hung down on both sides.

Behind it, thirty-six pairs of giant metal wings slowly unfolded.

On every wing blade, destructive source energy pulsed.

At this moment.

The surrounding Boundary Sea storms were twisted by the gravitational field.

Nearby remnants of warships were sucked in, and before they even got close, they were pressed into thin sheets of metal paper.

Harsh noise rang out in the communication channel.

Even space itself began to spiral and collapse.

It was no longer a simple war weapon.

After the nine reactors merged, the energy level surged into a new tier.

Level 4 Transcendence!
