This is not mechanical ascension...

The center of the dimension, the joint command center, is bustling with people, soldiers coming and going in a hurry, busy and hurried.

Surrounded by a giant spherical screen, it is divided into countless small pieces, each of which contains fierce war scenes, raging energy beams, or the figures of life forms roaming the battlefield.

From time to time, the communication signal would be cut off, and then a new signal would be connected.

Every soldier had an expression of tension and solemnity on his face, and various instructions were transmitted from here to various command nodes in an orderly manner.

"FY--A new X-class life form has appeared at node 1145. Sir Gaius is urgently dispatched."

"The enemy at FY-1375 node is dead. Sir Alves, please go to FY-413 node as soon as possible."

"…"

The commander-in-chief was Costat, standing on the central command podium, and next to him was the deputy commander, who was responsible for filling in the gaps.

Warning sounds are the norm here. The attacks of the Abyss Clan leave no one a chance to breathe, and the terrifying life forms that emerge from the black fog have no time to rest.

All the soldiers have been maintaining a tense posture since they arrived here.

On the second floor, several chiefs of staff were gathering in front of a virtual map.

This is an abstract dimensional world map. The blue node has shrunk further, leaving only one-fourth of its original size, and is surrounded by misty black fog.

"This is a meaningless war..." In the corner, Gad communicated with the two people around him in a strange language.

This is an ancient language passed down from the Titan era and is not recorded in today's interstellar translators.

Gad frowned, "These people don't seem to understand that this is already a shallow dimensional world, existing in parallel with the main universe."

"Infiltration may have already occurred somewhere else. They are not defending at all. The spread of the Abyss Mist is just instinct. Maybe Yongyuan doesn't care about them at all."

"They understand." Charles shook his head, "Don't think these people are too stupid. They are just delaying the spread of the Abyss Mist."

"Isn't that stupid?" Gad said coldly, "They are investing resources and energy in meaningless things."

"This is not what they think..." Charles' eyes flickered. "To a certain extent, they are just following orders, the orders of the master."

When mentioning the master, Gad paused and said helplessly: "But this is meaningless. Who is the master..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Costat's urgent voice coming from the first floor, "FY-1378 node is on the verge of loss, urgently mobilize the Mechanical King!"

"Mechanical King..." Charles couldn't help but stand up and look through the window to the next floor, where a war zone suddenly enlarged.

A powerful mechanical body swept across and quickly ended the stalemate.

Even though he had seen it many times, Charles still found it incredible and couldn't help but say, "The strength of this Mechanical Heavenly King has clearly reached the master level, and there are eight of them."

In terms of quantity alone, it is comparable to the peak era of Titans.

It was really hard for him to understand how the master named Li Ming created these mechanical bodies.

Charles sighed again, "Unfortunately, there is some kind of restriction that prevents me from continuing to exert this strength. Otherwise, the situation would be much better than it is now."

These Mechanical Kings are only allowed to be deployed in extremely stalemate battles.

I can't think of any other reason other than there are restrictions that they are not aware of.

Charles looked for a while and then sat back down. He chatted with Gad for a few more words. Waterdrop's head shook, but he felt something was wrong.

Not only him, but several chiefs of staff surrounding the map sand table also stopped and looked at each other.

Ever since the Yuan Clan appeared, the alarm sounding in the joint command room suddenly disappeared.

Charles went to the window immediately, thinking that there was some kind of malfunction in the instrument, and looked down.

However, he discovered that the soldiers on the lower levels seemed equally at a loss and were staring at each other.

Costat frowned, his eyes fixed on the combat screen in front of him, on which the real-time combat situations of multiple defense nodes were synchronized.

The same thing is happening at this moment.

"Retreat, retreat?" Charles shouted in shock, and his water-drop head glowed brightly like a light bulb.

Gad's face was already pressed against the glass, staring at the battle screen below, his eyes wide open, and he said in shock:

"How is this possible? This kind of scene has never happened before. How could Yongyuan withdraw his troops?"

An indescribable sense of absurdity surged in my heart. There has never been a similar record in the entire Titan or even in the previous evolutionary era.

Ever since Yongyuan became active and the Yuan clan appeared, all it has brought to every evolutionary era is endless war.

But now, in this evolutionary era where even the ultimate life forms have not participated in the war, Yongyuan has actually withdrawn his troops?

"We, won?" A chief of staff beside him murmured absentmindedly.

Gad couldn't help but turn his head and wanted to scold this ignorant guy harshly.

Win? Who can say they win against Yongyuan?

But this scene is really hard to understand.

"Conduct a communications review to confirm the front-line scenario!"

The old Prince Costa reacted quickly and gave the order solemnly.

"Report, there is no problem with the communication channel..."

"Report, summary of the battle situation on the scene, the enemy has indeed withdrawn!"

"Report…"

The voices rang out one after another, proving that the scene they observed in real time was not false and Yongyuan had indeed withdrawn his troops.

Costat did not relax, nor did he have any naive idea of ​​winning. Instead, he frowned. How could this happen?
But the soldiers below showed signs of excitement, and many believed that this represented a phased victory.

The tense hearts relaxed and some people even shed tears on the spot.

"Don't let your guard down, stay alert, and report any abnormalities immediately..."

Costat gave the order and then walked down from the command platform to convene a high-level meeting.

Soon, many chiefs of staff, Anduin, Anatoly, Alvis, Gaius, and Charles, all gathered together...

"...All defense nodes are completely motionless, and the abyss fog is even shrinking..." Behind Costat was a large screen that kept changing, showing the scenes in each defense node. "Sir Charles, what do you think?"

"There has never been a record of a similar situation before, but one thing is certain, this is by no means a victory." Charles could not help but emphasize, causing dissatisfaction among some people.

“…Just because the Titans can’t do it doesn’t mean we can’t do it in this era of evolution…” A certain senior staff officer muttered, and Gad glared at him.

Costat coughed dryly and said solemnly: "Yes, first of all, we must make sure that this is by no means a victory, not even a staged victory."

"In this case, the emergence of this situation is worth further investigation."

"We need to find out clearly." Charles reminded, "Eternal Abyss is treacherous and unpredictable. If we don't find out clearly, we might be caught off guard."

"But to figure this out, I'm afraid we have to go deep into the abyss..." Costat frowned.

Although the Abyss Mist is not the power of the Eternal Abyss, it also has a great interference on electronic equipment and is extremely dangerous inside. Ordinary exploration teams are definitely useless. "If you want to be absolutely sure, you must use X-level life forms." Charles added.

The expressions of the many X-level life forms present couldn't help but tense up.

Fighting outside the Abyss of Mist is life-threatening, not to mention going deep into it, which is almost a risk of death, and there is no guarantee that anything will be found.

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became quiet. Costat also felt the situation was difficult, but he thought of those non-directed life forms that were shackled by the three major civilizations.

"I go…"

Suddenly someone spoke, and everyone looked at him.

Alves?

Costat was somewhat stunned. He did not expect that this pillar of the Federation would choose to speak.

"We need to clarify this matter." Alves said calmly, "I have been trained by the Federation, and one day I will have to devote myself to the Federation."

As soon as these words were spoken, many X-rated people showed shame on their faces.

"I'll go with you." Someone else spoke up. It was Gaius, grinning. "I always thought you were too feminine, but today you're unexpected."

The Empire and the Federation each sent out one person, and many people subconsciously looked towards the group of X-level life forms of the Star Alliance. They had embarrassed expressions and avoided looking.

After all, the Star Alliance is not a big entity.

Gaius sneered immediately, but before he could say anything, someone said, "You don't have to be so reckless."

He frowned and was wondering who was talking without any back pain while standing. When he turned his eyes, he found that it was Mikhail who was talking.

The two mechanical masters have been here to connect with Charles and provide technical support since the beginning of the war.

"Do we have to fill it with human lives? Wouldn't it be the same to use mechanical bodies?" Mikhail said calmly, his eyes filled with the contempt of a top student for a fool.

X-class mechanical body!

Yes, everyone's eyes lit up, but they had subconsciously ignored this point because they were so captivated by Yongyuan.

The people of the Star Alliance looked at each other in dismay, secretly regretting that they should have acted more righteously earlier.

Mikhail said calmly, "Between the two of us, we have a total of sixteen X-class machines at our disposal. With their communication strength, we can barely maintain a certain distance in the abyss fog."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to find some clues."

Reynolds' eyes widened, "My goodness, Lao Mi, are you coming out in full force? Such a big bloodletting."

Mikhail glanced at him, idiot, he knew Reynolds had eight X-class machines, but he had ten and he had two hidden in his hands.

Gerstat's expression eased, and he said, "StarCraft will not forget your generosity, and we will compensate you after the war is over."

Mikhail reacted calmly. If they could win, everything would be fine. But if they lost... no one would be better off.

After finalizing the basic plan, everyone took quick action and headed for the nearest defense node.

The black fog was like a wall, surging and moving.

Sixteen mechanical bodies of different shapes communicated with each other, and then Alves and others carved a series of runes to further enhance the defense and isolate the erosion of the abyss fog.

If it wasn't the power of the Eternal Abyss, but just the Abyss Mist, the damage to higher life forms would be limited.

Then, under the unified operation of Mikhail, the sixteen X-class mechanical bodies slowly sank into the abyss of fog.

A mechanical body stopped and stood at the intersection of the outside world and the abyss of fog, acting as a communication node.

Everyone was watching with trepidation and anticipation. After watching them enter, they turned to look at the virtual screen in front of Mikhail.

The signal is not very stable, but after image processing, it can be seen clearly.

The abyss fog was not completely dark, but rather a grayish hue. However, the light emitted from the X-class mechanical bodies could hardly shine far away.

"It seems that there really are no Abyss Clan members at the border..." Costat carefully identified, and the X-class machines continued to move forward.

The scenes in the abyss of fog were extremely dull, and surprisingly, the barriers between the dimensional worlds seemed to have disappeared in the abyss of fog, allowing them to move freely.

Whenever the communication limit is reached, one mechanical body will remain to act as a communication base station, while the rest will continue to move forward.

"and many more…"

After an unknown amount of time, Reynolds shouted and pointed at the screen, "Is that the Yuan Clan?"

The mechanical eye captured it quickly. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked for it in the picture. Sure enough, they found the clue.

Perhaps because of the extremely far field of vision, it is only the size of a hair, but upon closer inspection, it looks like some kind of whirlpool.

Mikhail hurriedly manipulated the mechanical body forward, and as the scene became clearer, everyone's eyes became shocked.

"What the hell is this!" Reynolds yelled, and everyone's heart was pounding.

It was not a whirlpool at all, but a "torrent" formed by hundreds of millions of dark bodies of the Abyss Clan connected one after another.

There is not just one, there are similar traces in the distance, and they are densely packed when you look around.

"Have you seen it?" Costat couldn't help but ask Charles.

Charles shook his head dazedly.

"They seem to be going somewhere..." Mikhail's mechanical pupils spun, "and they have lost their aggressiveness..."

Everyone calmed down and focused.

Although I was surprised, it is now much simpler. I just need to follow the direction of this group of Yuan people and I should be able to find clues.

The remaining mechanical bodies continued to move forward. The Yuan people had lost their aggressiveness, so they encountered almost no interference along the way.

One by one the machines were left behind, and they advanced further and further, until more than half a month later, only three X machines remained, and their movements gradually slowed down.

"...Based on the angle of the vortex, the core area should be in this area..." Before Mikhail finished his words, a mechanical body captured the anomaly.

It was an abnormally bright light, like a ball of dead white light, and some traces were reflected in the surroundings.

The torrent of the Yuan Clan coming from all directions was like small black pythons, continuously rushing towards the light ball, and then sinking into it without causing even the slightest ripple.

"This is…"

Mikhail's voice trembled slightly, Kostat's throat rolled, and Alves couldn't help but clench the staff in his hand...

Everyone was so shocked that they could hardly react for a moment.

But immediately afterwards, the picture in front of me suddenly became unstable, and then turned pitch black, and the signal was interrupted.

"That...what is that thing? It seems to be absorbing the Abyss Clan?" Gaius couldn't help but ask.
