Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Her dancing movements resembled those of someone making knife-cut noodles.

An Ran, who was in the audience, was not idle either. She moved nimbly, jumping left and right, waving her arms to catch every piece of metal that flew out, and then sent it into her ether factory.

We can't waste it!

"Ta-da!"

During the battle, the arms of the android lifeform moved so fast that they became mere phantoms.

The battles between robots are even more intense than those between martial artists.

With each punch, the contact surface between the fist and the "little sun" would indent one inch inward.

After more than two thousand Euler pulls, the falling "little sun" completely enveloped the android life form.

The two platforms fit together in a process that lasted only one second.

With a deafening roar, the platform above shattered into pieces.

An Ran watched as the intelligent life form's arm stretched out like a rubber man, punching a still-trembling platform into the abyss, then shouted, "Go and cut off all the surrounding networks, trap it in the information database!"

Ruined.

Seeing the running intelligent machine life, An Ran realized that something was wrong.

Even now, they still believe it to be some kind of sophisticated network intrusion, completely unaware that Zero is a consciousness born in the City of Enlightenment.

Using machines to fight machines is a strategy that cannot defeat zero.

As soon as those advanced intelligent machine beings left the database, they found that countless robots were swarming up on them.

Those were their former comrades, but under Zero's control, they had become mortal enemies.

After only a moment's hesitation, the androids that rushed out were surrounded, and all sorts of attacks rained down on them. The controlled androids charged forward fearlessly, some grabbing legs, others grabbing hands, trying to stop their advance.

It must be said that intelligent life forms are mechanical creations that prioritize rationality.

Realizing they couldn't wake their companions, they finally took action.

Bang bang bang!

Its body shimmered with a ghostly blue light, and its flat energy shield instantly swept away all the android life forms clinging to it. The hard corridor walls were smashed open, leaving countless dents, like a twisted steel forest.

A blue wheel appeared on the right hand of an advanced intelligent machine. It bent down and flung the blue wheel out. With a flash of cold light, the feet of the intelligent machines that it had just knocked away were all severed, and the large door that had been closed in front of them was also split in two.

But that's all the good news we had.

The Enlightened City, under zero control, possesses a more powerful healing ability.

Although these advanced intelligent machine life forms are powerful, the energy within them cannot compare to that of the vast Enlightenment City.

As time goes by, they will eventually fall apart.

Unless they can leave the City of Wisdom, failure is inevitable.

"Of course, they will become my most trusted puppets, so there's no way I'll let them go. As for you?"

Zero appeared beside An Ran, looking at her with a mocking gaze once again.

"It's not too late to submit to me now, and I will still grant you Level 1 privileges."

An Ran turned to look at it: "Do you think you're a unique god?"

Zero smiled confidently: "That's right, I am the god born from the mechanical world!"

That's incredibly shameless!

An Ran secretly complained.

"Submit to me!" Zero said again.

A powerful puppet mechanic will increase its strength exponentially!

This is why Zero is so fixated on Enron.

Based on the information it stole from the database, Enron is now the most powerful mechanic in the world.

An Ran smiled brightly: "Although you are very strong, you still have a fatal weakness!"

"Oh?"

Ling looked at An Ran with confusion.

An Ran said, “The City of Enlightenment is a war machine, but it is also the main city of the AI ​​tribe. This means that from the day it was designed, the City of Enlightenment has been a war machine with an imbalance of internal and external combat power. Before you took over the City of Enlightenment, this was not a big problem, because the strength of those AI life forms was enough to make up for this shortcoming. But now it’s different. The low-level AI life forms you control simply cannot do this. Until you completely control those high-level AI life forms, this is your biggest weakness.”

"what?"

Zero was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I thought you would offer some insightful observations, but instead you've just spouted nonsense. Outwardly strong but inwardly weak? Even you can't defeat me before you run out of energy. The City of Enlightenment has an energy reserve that you can't even imagine! Hahaha, whatever, anyway, what I want isn't your brain, but the mechanical technology you possess."

An Ran opened her inventory and quickly selected [Alienation Channel].

Her finger hovered over the confirmation button.

Just as she was about to leap away, An Ran raised her head and stared at Zero with a meaningful look.

Have you ever heard of the group of "strangers"?

"Um?!"

Select "Yes"!

Zero's eyes widened.

It wanted to ask a couple more questions, but suddenly a black cave as tall as a person popped out from behind An Ran. An Ran waved to Zero, jumped back lightly, and disappeared without a trace.

"hateful!"

Zero never expected that An Ran really had the ability to escape under spatial confinement. The detection signal released by the City of Enlightenment was blocked in front of the black cave.

It can't see anything, and it can't understand anything.

This is a realm that machines cannot detect.

Faced with this unknown, Zero felt a sense of unease.

The image of An Ran's smile before leaving played repeatedly in front of it. Was it a bluff, or genuine confidence and composure?

"She actually escaped!"

Inside the spaceship, Night Owl's visitors were all stunned.

They originally thought An Ran's story was about to end there. Although they would also perish along with her, the thought of An Ran dying with her made them feel much better.

But who could have imagined that An Ran would "betray" them!

The limit of N for 1 is gone.

It felt like I'd swallowed a fly—utterly disgusting.

The Ah Q spirit that he had painstakingly built up collapsed instantly.

The young mechanic leaned against the wall, his eyes vacant.

Ah, his youth, his life, are they all going to be entrusted to that monster who appeared out of nowhere?

No!

Having been a magician for 29 years, he was filled with regret.

If only he had built a robot to have some fun, then when he was dying, all he would remember would be the miserable years of struggling with his own hands.

Such despair.

It can be seen.

……

With the strength of those advanced intelligent machine life forms, they could easily hold out for ten days or half a month, but overall, time is still very tight.

There are currently tens of millions of players above level 100 in the game, but less than half of them can reach the City of Enlightenment within half a month.

If the quantity is insufficient, the plan to deplete the energy of the Enlightenment City will not work.

"That's all we can do."

An Ran recalled what happened in the Blue Ocean Forest. Back then, in order to defeat a rampaging giant worm, nearly ten thousand players rushed over from nearby planets and overwhelmed the worm, which was more than 10 levels higher than the average player level, by sheer numbers.

This is the power of the Fourth Calamity!

Although they don't have console access to cheat codes, once the number of players exceeds a certain threshold, they can unleash a power that will take the world by storm.

Upon receiving the news from Enron, Ella immediately began organizing the transdimensional fleet to advance.

The news about Zero was not kept secret, and at the very moment it was revealed, An Ran inadvertently unlocked a hidden quest open to all players.

The Fall of Divinity

Eliminate zero!

Using the concept of "time travel" as a starting point, the news spread wider and wider through player forums.

Players who saw the news on the forum triggered this hidden quest.

Wow, it's so close to where I am now, only about a two-day journey away.

It will take me a week.

The responsibility of maintaining world peace now rests on my shoulders.

This is a war between humans. The Omnic Horde and the Old Gods are already annoying enough, but now there's this idiot who calls himself a god causing trouble.

Let it see how powerful we players are!

A huge storm has been stirred up on the forum.

At this time, a player guild composed entirely of mechanics also set its sights on this mission.

The guild leader, dressed in heavy armor, chuckled.

"what happened?"

"Our chance has come!" the president exclaimed.

The guild members looked at him with suspicion.

The guild leader smiled confidently: "The fundamental reason why we can't compete with those big guilds is that we lack blueprints and materials. But in the City of Enlightenment, these things are everywhere. As long as we operate properly, we will definitely be able to turn the tables this time!"
