Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 510: Maintain Reverence for the Unknown

Impossible!

No one would believe that such a trace could have been left by this human. If he truly possessed such terrifying power, how could he have been chased and hunted by them all this way!

Something must have happened!

When that light screen enveloped everything, when those purple patterns bloomed, something must have descended!

"Lynn."

Hei Xianyue struggled to rush over, dazedly helping him up, gazing at his face with closed eyes. It was as if everything that had just happened had never occurred, like an illusion.

Yet, in her mind, she couldn't help but recall the figure she had seen within that light screen.

That gaze.

And that head full of white hair etched with vicissitudes.

"What exactly was that…"She murmured in a trance.

High in the sky, the God of All Machines struggled to move his dragon head slightly, staring fixedly at the unconscious Lynn on the ground below, his entire body stiff and unable to move at all.

Because even now, he still hadn't recovered from the deathly crisis of moments before.

What kind of gaze was that?

Merely being looked at once had inevitably triggered deep-seated fear and trembling from the depths of his being.

What exactly was that?

What was that figure that had just appeared?!

"Sovereign?! Sovereign! How are you? Are you alright?!"

Urgent waves of information continuously surged from within the Hive.

But the God of All Machines remained silent, giving them no feedback whatsoever.

They sharply turned their heads, glaring angrily through the screens at the man and woman in the battlefield. They knew something must have happened just now; the dent on their Sovereign's neck was undoubtedly connected to them somehow.

"Kill them!"

They received no reply from their Sovereign.

But the immense fury and fear from that earlier scene drove them to immediately decide to continue their unfinished task.

Kill that human and that puppet!

Though they didn't know what he truly was, if he were to recreate that terrifying scene from before, they couldn't imagine what else might happen.

They felt fear.

This emotion, which had never appeared since their upload, had in that moment flooded through their entire beings like a deluge.

"Attack!!"

Accompanied by the roars of those Mechanical Consciousnesses.

Mechanical units from all directions abruptly activated, charging menacingly towards Lynn and Hei Xianyue at the very center of the battlefield.

Hei Xianyue also snapped out of her daze instantly, her gaze turning icy as she suddenly raised her hand, countless threads dancing wildly around her.

But just as conflict was about to erupt once more.

A sudden voice abruptly rang out around them.

"It should end here now."

As that gentle and refined voice appeared, the gaze of the God of All Machines flickered sharply, looking towards the very center of the battlefield.

Accompanied by the surge of psychic energy, the space around Lynn twisted like a kaleidoscope.

In that moment of confusion.

A man, glowing entirely with green light like a specter, gently appeared beside Lynn.

Hei Xianyue sharply looked up, seeing the face of that floating youth with a gentle smile.

"Sir Aiwen?"

Hei Xianyue uttered the name in a daze.

She recognized this person.

Previously, after killing the Plague Doctor named Sen Yi together with Lynn, she had once encountered this powerful being.

The Monarch of Nightfall City had actually come here too?!

Sir Aiwen gave her a slight nod, then smiled as he leaned on his cane, looking up at the God of All Machines in the sky.

"It's you?!"

The eyes of the God of All Machines narrowed sharply, sensing the psychic energy fluctuations, instantly connecting that specter-like youth with a certain civilization from the past in his mind.

Sir Aiwen smiled with refined elegance:

"You still remember me?"

The gaze of the God of All Machines flickered, looking at him with shifting emotions, his voice hoarse:

"Of course I remember. The only Cyber Civilization to achieve Psychic Ascension, how could I possibly forget you!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Xianyue shuddered violently, sharply turning to look at Sir Aiwen's illusory, smiling face, her eyes churning with shock.

The Mechanical Consciousnesses within the Hive were also greatly shaken. They knew the history of the Mechanical Cult's birth and naturally knew that the predecessor of the Mechanical Cult was the Artificial Intelligence Civilization represented by their Sovereign.

And the Cyber Civilization was the other divine-level civilization that, together with the Colossus Civilization, had struck down their Sovereign into the Dark World all those years ago.

They represented the ultimate Psychic Ascendants!

This…

What on earth was happening?

How could such a small Cursed City attract so many once-terrifying existences all at once!

Sir Aiwen smiled as he tipped his hat slightly, speaking with refined grace:

"Since you still remember me, then do me a favor. I came to take this child away. If there were any offenses before, I ask you to let bygones be bygones."

The God of All Machines demanded sharply: "What is he?!"

As these words fell.

The surroundings instantly fell into complete silence.

Everyone's gaze fell on the unconscious Lynn's face, understanding exactly what the God of All Machines was asking.

The smile on Sir Aiwen's face remained unchanged as he said:

"A… very mysterious child. Are you satisfied with that answer?"

The God of All Machines narrowed his eyes: "You don't know either?"

Sir Aiwen maintained his refined expression, looking at the wound on the other's neck, gently adjusting his hat brim as he said:

"Yes. That's why I wanted to remind you to maintain reverence for the unknown. Because you never know how immense a karmic consequence an unintentional offense might bring upon yourself."

His smile was exceptionally brilliant.

The God of All Machines stared at him intently, the wound on his neck that penetrated deep into his soul still causing faint throbs of pain.

He rasped: "Are you certain you can take him away?"

Sir Aiwen smiled as he removed one glove, speaking with gentle elegance: "We can try. Though it's severely damaged, forcing a temporary elevation of my tier should still be possible."

He smiled as he turned his head, tipping his hat slightly in a gesture towards the massive inverted pyramid.

And in that imperceptible moment.

That enormous inverted pyramid began to flicker and distort vaguely, like static on an old television, as if it might vanish from reality at any moment.

The God of All Machines narrowed his eyes sharply, his gaze flickering:

"Go!"

"Thank you for your generosity."

Sir Aiwen smiled as he performed a medieval-style bow towards the God of All Machines, then raised his hand and gently snapped his fingers. The space around them immediately twisted like a kaleidoscope, and they vanished from the spot in an instant.

Looking at the now-empty battlefield, the Mechanical Consciousnesses within the Hive trembled:

"Sovereign, are we really just letting them leave like this?!"

The God of All Machines narrowed his eyes, not uttering a single word.

Because only he himself knew his true current condition.

His massive mechanical dragon head turned slightly, the menacing dent on his neck clearly visible. And in the invisible realm of consciousness, his enormous soul had already developed fine cracks.

That unseen hand.

Had almost truly killed him…
