Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods

The East China Sea Islands are teeming with towering waves.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and thunder echoed over the sea.

Shen Yubai knelt on a broken rock, his chest heaving.

His deep-sea defenses have been torn to shreds.

Tens of thousands of sea monster corpses floated on the surrounding sea.

Twelve mechanical deities stepped across the waves and surrounded him in the center.

Chu Xiaoxiao walked up to him.

The red mechanical eye locked onto Shen Yubai, and the data stream refreshed rapidly in its pupil.

"You... what exactly are you?!" Shen Yubai coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the rocks beneath him red.

He looked at his former classmate in disbelief.

Chu Xiaoxiao did not answer.

In her underlying logic, talking to a dying person is a waste of computing power.

She raised her right hand, her five metal fingers spreading out in the air.

Silver-black data streams converge at the fingertips, forming a mechanical blade.

puff!

A sharp blade pierced Shen Yubai's heart.

Shen Yubai's body stiffened, and his eyes widened.

The divine power within him tried to resist, but then a domineering stream of data surged in.

【Mechanical Plague - Assimilation】

Shen Yubai's flesh and blood lost their color at a visible rate, and fine metallic patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.

Blood stops flowing, and bones begin to regenerate.

The terror in his eyes gradually solidified, eventually turning into two beams of red light.

The fifteenth mechanical deity has been assimilated.

As Shen Yubai became completely mechanized, his connection with his army of sea monsters also changed.

In the seawater, the more than 100,000 deep-sea monsters that were roaring and struggling suddenly stopped moving.

The limbs transformed into mechanical legs, and the eyeballs became red detectors.

In just over ten minutes, more than 100,000 marine natives were all transformed into semi-mechanical dependents.

The waves crashed against their metallic bodies with a dull thud.

Cheng E stood on a distant rock, watching this scene, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"This guy is pretty amazing." Cheng E put his hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping over the dense swarm of mechanical sea monsters, his tone tinged with amazement.

"They actually managed to raise an army of over 100,000 natives on this godforsaken island."

Including Shen Yubai, they have been working non-stop these past few days and have killed a total of three deities hiding in the outskirts of the region.

Cheng E mentally assessed his current financial situation.

A total of fifteen deities!

He glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao.

Due to the overuse of the Assimilation Divine Art, Chu Xiaoxiao's original essence was severely diluted.

The divine power fluctuations around her were unstable, and her cultivation level had been declining from the peak of the fifth-level demigod.

Currently, he can barely maintain his position at the lowest level of the fifth level of the demigod class, and there is even a risk of falling to the fourth level at any time.

The other 15 mechanical deities also had the same situation.

But Cheng E didn't care at all.

That's enough.

Seventeen demigods, plus the original mechanical army of Golden Toad City, the horde of rotting corpses from Lu Chen's side, and now more than 100,000 mechanical sea monsters.

The total troop strength is approaching 500,000!

Cheng E sneered, a sinister excitement flashing in his eyes.

Even if Lin Yuan is incredibly powerful, and even if he manages to snowball his influence in the Central Plains, his military strength will at most be comparable to theirs.

However, in terms of high-end combat power, they have seventeen demigods on their side.

Various legal systems have been mechanically integrated and work in perfect harmony.

Seventeen against one.

"Unless Lin Yuan uses some kind of cheat to reach the sixth-level demigod, there's no way he'll succeed."

Cheng E muttered to himself, feeling quite confident.

Chu Xiaoxiao drew her metal blade, and the nanobots quickly cleaned the bloodstains on her arm, restoring its luster.

She turned around, her mechanical eyes scanning the procession and the mechanical deity behind her.

"Resource integration is complete, and troop expansion has met the standards."

Chu Xiaoxiao's voice echoed in the sea breeze, cold and flat.

"Order issued: All troops return to the capital. Target: Golden Toad City."

"Prepare for the final confrontation phase."

……

On the edge of the Central Plains, in the wilderness.

The Blood Abyss Army, like a black torrent, is advancing endlessly forward.

At the very front of the formation was a sea of ​​pale white bones.

Bai Ye rode on the back of the Frost Dragon, leading the group.

Lin Yuan positioned his entire undead army at the vanguard.

Bai Ye knew perfectly well that Lin Yuan was incredibly cunning and shrewd; he couldn't be trusted at all, and it was impossible for him to place the undead army in the rear or on the flanks.

Placing troops in the lead to scout ahead, step on traps, or serve as cannon fodder is the most Lin Yuan-style troop deployment.

Nominally, Bai Ye was at the forefront, but in reality, the main force of attack was all in the rear.

"Boom!"

A tribe of native orcs, numbering in the tens of thousands, appeared in the wilderness.

These orcs, wielding crude giant axes and with bloodshot eyes, charged fearlessly into the undead formation.

Bai Ye raised his bone staff and commanded thousands of skeleton warriors to fight back.

As soon as the two sides made contact, the skeleton warriors' formation was torn open by the orcs' brute force.

The sound of bones shattering echoed throughout the area, and the undead vanguard was forced into retreat.

Just as Bai Ye was about to cast a high-level necromancy spell to stabilize the situation, the sky suddenly darkened.

Before he could finish chanting the incantation, streaks of dark blue flames descended from the sky.

The Calamity Fire Spirit flew over the heads of the undead army and slammed its karmic fire into the dense charging formation of the orcs.

The fire spread.

The orc's tough muscles couldn't even last half a second before being burned through.

They let out piercing screams, their bodies rolling on the ground as they tried to extinguish the flames with mud.

But the fires of karma scorch the soul, and the more one struggles, the faster one dies.

At the same time, the shadow beneath the orc's feet twisted.

A pair of thick, strong arms emerged from underground.

Hundreds of 20-meter-tall monstrous demons burst forth from the shadows.

Titan power coalesced at his fist, and he slammed it into the skull of the orc chieftain.

"Snap!"

The orc leader's head was smashed open, and his headless corpse fell to the ground.

In the sky, tens of thousands of Demon Blade Bats swooped down, releasing high-frequency ultrasonic waves.

The surviving orcs covered their ears, bleeding from their seven orifices, and lost their ability to resist.

The battle ended cleanly and decisively.

Bai Ye sat on the dragon's back, witnessing this scene firsthand, his lips twitching.

"Holy crap... Holy crap... Holy crap..."

Bai Ye cursed three times in his heart.

Following Lin Yuan's lead these past two days, he has truly broadened his horizons.

The Abyss Blood Army, composed of natives, was alright; although they were fearless and exceptionally fierce, their performance was just so-so.

Compared to Bai Ye's own native divine domain followers, they are about the same.

But Lin Yuan's followers from the Wasteland God Realm were absolutely amazing.

Not only do they kill enemies of higher levels as easily as eating and drinking, but they also have so many skills that it makes your scalp tingle.

That tyrant is clearly a melee combat unit, yet it can control shadow movement and has a pair of void wings on its back, making it even more mobile than an assassin.

That Calamity Fire Spirit was clearly an elemental being; the karmic fire it unleashed scorched souls, and it could also control water flow.

That's fine, even insects can control karmic fire.

And these sky and sea creatures, each one of them explodes after death.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they came from the same ancestor.

Bai Ye was so numb from watching from behind.

This isn't a family, it's a bunch of unreasonable Frankenstein's monsters!

Fortunately, Lin Yuan still had some humanity left.

Under Bai Ye's strong protests and persistent pleas, Lin Yuan no longer allowed the Yuanxue Army to carry out the "Three Alls" policy.

The indigenous monsters killed along the way left behind quite a few corpses and pieces of flesh.

Bai Ye wields his white bone staff, reviving as he goes.

Over the course of two days, the number of his undead army surged, directly exceeding one hundred thousand.

The vast sea of ​​bones spread out, which was quite impressive.

As the undead army grew in size, Bai Ye took action more and more frequently.

Trouble ensued.

Sitting on the dragon's back, Bai Ye suddenly felt a strange sense of unease rising in his heart.

He looked at the tyrant leading the charge ahead, and at the demonic bats circling in the sky, and a dangerous thought began to grow in his mind.

"Lin Yuan's forces are nothing special. My undead army now numbers over a hundred thousand."

"Give me a little more time to grow to a million-dollar scale, and I'll switch sides and crush him in the dirt."

"I, Bai Ye, am the strongest genius of this generation. Why should I be his dog?"

arrogant.

The side effects of the identity card flared up again.

Bai Ye shuddered, his back soaked with cold sweat.

He quickly closed his eyes, gripped the staff with both hands, and silently chanted in his mind.

"I'm a piece of trash. I'm a loser. I'm not even as good as a single hair on Lin Yuan's leg."

"Lin Yuan could punch the shit out of me. I need to survive, I need to cling to someone powerful."

He constantly used the most vicious words to belittle himself, forcibly suppressing the arrogant intent that was eroding the divine fire.

Several minutes passed before Bai Ye finally opened his eyes, panting heavily.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He secretly glanced at Lin Yuan, who was walking in the middle of the group.

Lin Yuan stood on a chariot pulled by eight giant beasts, one hand on the hilt of his sword, his expression calm and his eyes clear without a trace of impurity.

Bai Ye truly didn't understand.

This guy commands a large army, wielding the power of life and death, and has dozens of times more blood on his hands than I do.

Logically speaking, the tyranny and ecstasy brought by the "General" identity card should have turned him into a madman who only knew how to kill long ago.

How exactly did he manage to become completely immune to this thing?

Just as Bai Ye was lost in thought, the Abyss Blood army in front of him suddenly stopped advancing.

The Insect King let out a short cry, and the 600,000-strong army fell silent, even their breathing becoming extremely quiet.

The warhorses stopped neighing, the infantry gripped their spears tightly, and the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Bai Ye curiously followed Lin Yuan's gaze.

Thousands of miles away.

On the horizon, the outline of a city is faintly visible.

Above the city wall, countless mechanical cannons flashed red lights.

Flocks of mechanical birds circled in the sky.

On the wilderness surrounding the city, an endless army of machines was stationed.

Lin Yuan stood on the chariot, looking at the completely fortified city, and nodded.

"Looks like they're all put somewhere."
