Chapter 452: This Is a Completely Normal Thing That Needs No Explanation
"So," Lynn continued, his lips curling slightly upward.
"You're finished."
In that instant, Lynn perfectly timed his move. Miss Puppet's final energy burst instantly spread outward.
A surging tide of purple ripples instantly enveloped the entire tunnel.
At the same moment, massive interference completely severed the information exchange between the nano-storm and the Hive in this region.
Inside the Hive, billions of nano-machines directly lost their connection to the control of the mechanical consciousnesses. The gentle smile displayed on the screen, belonging to Lynn, also abruptly cut off amidst a burst of static.
"Connection cannot be established!"
"All signals within the target area have been cut off. The nano-clusters within the target area are now in an uncontrolled state!"
"Damn!"
Those thousands of mechanical consciousnesses were practically on the verge of furious, uncontrollable rage.Looking at the densely packed red dots indicating "Disconnected" that appeared, that feeling of frustration, which they had not experienced since their consciousness was uploaded, surged up all at once.
And they could already imagine the scene currently playing out in that area.
Countless nano-machines that had lost their control would completely become material for those infected by the virus. Due to the limitations of their underlying logic, those nano-machines simply had no possibility of implementing countermeasures against the "rebellion."
The infected could attack them, but they could not.
No matter how many nano-machines there were, the result would be the same.
"We must immediately report what happened here to the Purity Council! Hurry! Hurry!! If we don't take countermeasures soon, it will be too late!"
"Contact Miss Intelligence Machine! Tell her our mission has failed, the target is even more difficult to deal with than we imagined. She must be careful; the target also possesses a strange ability to spread viruses to mechanical bodies!"
"Damn it! Damn it!"
They were humiliated and enraged, yet utterly helpless.
Because they would never have imagined that the ever-victorious nano-clusters would actually stumble before such a tiny flesh-and-blood organism.
This would become a stain on the history of their Mechanical Cult.
And they would inevitably face severe punishment from the Cult. If the losses expanded, they might even face consciousness annihilation!
"We will remember you. If we encounter you again, we will personally annihilate you!"
They stared with furious, seething rage at Lynn's image that appeared in the consciousness stream.
That mysterious smile, in their eyes, had almost become the greatest mockery aimed at them.
...
Meanwhile, in the underground tunnel.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully completing the mission: Mechanical Nano-Storm. You have received mission rewards: Base EXP 6000, Black Skull Coins x6, Skill Enhancement Scroll x1]
[Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to 31. All attribute points have been allocated to Constitution!]
Accompanied by the system prompts in his ears, the already severely damaged Aberration Fortress, after racing forward several hundred meters, scraped heavily against the ground with its front end and came to a stop, riddled with holes, within the root tunnel.
"Doctor, we have completed the emergency braking as per your orders. Will those nano-clusters really not attack us anymore?"
The Commander's urgent inquiry reached Lynn's consciousness.
"Not yet. Some of the nano-clusters I infected have already entered the Aberration Fortress. Wait until they've fought each other down a bit more before you come out."
At this very moment, above the Aberration Fortress.
Because the information exchange had been severed.
Those nano-clusters that had lost control had become headless flies. At this moment, the infected nano-clusters were rapidly expanding by continuously decomposing them.
Lynn could even clearly see the thick "dust" floating in the air.
After the surrounding nano-clusters were devoured, the "rebel forces" immediately shifted their target, splitting into two parts. One part chased into the Aberration Fortress, launching fierce attacks on the clusters inside.
The other, larger portion plunged headlong behind them, targeting the even larger-scale nano-clusters that had also lost control while pursuing them. These immediately faced their almost frenzied interception.
In terms of numbers.
The "rebel forces" still held a massive disadvantage.
But the nano-clusters, now without Mechanical Cult control and locked by their underlying logic, unable to fight back, encountering such a group of infected maniacs, resulted in what was almost a one-sided slaughter.
But Lynn knew.
Their danger was still not over.
Because those infected were not uninterested in them; it was just that their current primary target wasn't them. But once the number of nano-clusters decomposed to a critical point, the second target would be themselves!
[Ding! You have deactivated the Cursed Eye. The influence of the curse "Flesh and Blood Riot" within your body has expired.]
Accompanied by the system prompt in his ears.
Lynn's body, which had been gnawed into a thousand holes, almost reduced to a large lump of rotten meat, rapidly contracted, festered, and gradually restored to his human form as the curse was lifted.
During this period, Lynn had tried every possible way to prevent his main body from being devoured by the nano-clusters, but he still inevitably suffered massive effects.
The first and foremost was weakness.
Because the potential of flesh and blood is not limitless.
Not to mention he had just used over twenty bottles of Flesh Proliferation Potion at once, combined with the effects of the Flesh and Blood Riot. This almost directly drained most of the potential from his cells.
It was like continuously doing, for dozens of hours without restraint, the things one loves to do with one's favorite little girl.
Even a man of iron.
Would find it hard to withstand such immense pressure and overdrawing.
[Ding! Your current vitality is at 3.2%. You have gained the negative status: Flesh and Blood Overdraft.]
[Ding! You are currently in a weakened state. Mobility lost. Estimated recovery time: 3 hours, 51 minutes.]
It was at the moment Lynn regained his human form, accompanied by the system prompts, that he uncontrollably collapsed weakly, falling heavily onto the deactivated Miss Puppet.
And because Miss Puppet was truly too petite.
He inevitably ended up completely enveloping her.
But he could absolutely swear.
He did not intentionally fall onto Miss Puppet, nor did he have any intention of taking advantage.
Because his purpose in utilizing the Flesh and Blood Riot was precisely to use the massive flesh and blood to block the nano-storm's assault on Miss Puppet, creating a safe environment for her to complete the final energy surge.
And precisely because he had used the Flesh and Blood Riot with Hei Xianyue as the center, it was only natural that after recovering, he would appear beside Miss Puppet.
Therefore, accidentally collapsing weakly and falling onto Miss Puppet was a perfectly reasonable occurrence that required no explanation.
Yes.
It requires no explanation.
