Chapter 559: You Brought Us Together on the Same Front
Chapter 559: You Brought Us Together on the Same Front
Slowly, as the sounds of chewing and grinding ceased, the piercing screams gradually died away.
The enormous human face atop the trunk smiled and licked its lips, blood-red like the Blood Moon, and said,
"You killed half of my children, I ate the other half, so now... we're even, giggle—"
A chilling, sinister laughter rose and fell across the Wasteland.
The God of All Machines' expression remained indifferent as he slowly raised his hand.
He pointed slightly toward the Desire Mother Tree.
Boom—
No more words were needed.
The power in that single finger instantly blasted a hollow hundreds of meters wide through the Desire Mother Tree's trunk.
That one finger also signaled the start of the full-scale assault."Main cannon of Hive One energy charge complete—target locked—praise the God of All Machines—"
"Main cannon of Hive Two energy charge complete—target locked—praise the God of All Machines—"
"Nano-Storm protocol issued—full offensive commencing—"
"All clusters orders—fight to the death—charge—"
In that instant, countless ground mechanical units lifted their heads like a surging swarm and lunged from all directions toward the central Desire Mother Tree.
Giant cannons rose from the ground, unleashing countless beams of particle light at the enormous trunk.
Dense tongues of fire concentrated with lethal precision; the battlefield’s firepower concentrated at that moment on the vast branches of the Desire Mother Tree.
"Come on, children, pour out your desires to me—my body will contain every one of you, revel freely, do not be stingy!"
As the Mechanical Cult launched their full assault, that seductive voice grew even more coquettish, seemingly savoring the process as it frantically manipulated the dense blood-and-flesh branches.
The Dominion of Desire’s might, carried by her voice, almost covered the entire sky.
Even with Alice’s blessing and Sir Aiwen’s Psychic Energy sheltering him, Lynn still felt his mouth dry under the influence of that rotting voice.
Even Miaomiao on his shoulder began to nervously rub her head against Lynn with agitation.
Sir Aiwen narrowed his eyes and raised the Psychic Energy barrier to maximum output, barely suppressing the indiscriminate desire disturbance.
"Its effect is stronger than mine, but it looks like the Mechanical Cult already prepared countermeasures against this kind of desire assault—its impact on them is negligible!"
Lynn shook his head hard, his expression turning grave.
Because even from this distance, odd reactions were already appearing.
You could say,
the Desire Mother Tree’s power had an overwhelmingly terrifying suppressive effect against flesh-and-blood beings.
But it did not have the extreme penetration his own Root-level power possessed.
And the force had been cracked by the Mechanical Cult; its influence on their mechanical consciousness had been reduced to a minimum.
Yet without question,
if it targeted him personally, the Desire Mother Tree represented the greatest threat among all Roots.
Because she could pleasure him, and he could pleasure her.
That was almost unsolvable.
Sir Aiwen squinted, saying, "She’s clearly fearless. Without a trump card, as a representative of the Chaotic Alignment, she cannot hold out here. With the projection of the three major Hives and the God of All Machines, she couldn't last three minutes on her own."
She might not die outright,
but if she lost her mass entirely, she would fall into eternal weakness, never again fit to fight.
Boom—
With the God of All Machines' projection's indifferent finger, half of the giant tree's branches thundered down, revealing the upper half of the silver Colossus's Tower embedded within.
But the terrifying blood-and-flesh force quickly surged, wrapping the Colossus's Tower once more.
"I don't want to play with you anymore."
The God of All Machines stared at her massive form and said coldly,
"If you do not deploy your trump card, then this game ends here."
In an instant,
he reached out toward the Desire Mother Tree's massive trunk and flicked his fingers. The tree’s branches detonated in hundreds of small explosions, once again exposing that enormous tower.
He gripped hard, and the immense power left a deep handprint across the eroded surface of the Colossus's Tower.
He intended to wrench the Colossus's Tower from the Desire Mother Tree's body by the root.
Crack—crack—crack—
Accompanied by tremendous sounds, the ground trembled.
"As expected, the gap in hard power between you and me really can't be bridged. Both are projections, but I didn't expect the difference to be this vast."
The Desire Mother Tree's bone-chilling laughter boomed through the air.
But in the next moment,
a bloodlike red radiance suddenly appeared along her massive branches. A gigantic blood-red Magic Circle centered on her trunk slowly rose from the ground.
Rip—rip—
In an instant,
blood-and-flesh vines tens of times more numerous than before erupted from that blood-red Magic Circle, instantly neutralizing the God of All Machines' force and frantically beginning to envelop the Desire Mother Tree's main trunk.
A terrible aura reddened the entire sky.
"That is..."
Lynn suddenly looked up, feeling the tremor.
Sir Aiwen said calmly, "Her true body."
Amid that overwhelming might and metallic stench of blood, even the God of All Machines' projection involuntarily took a step back, lifting its head to gaze upon the turmoil of flesh.
"Summoning the true body is no easy task. Like you, I was hindered by the curse and couldn't move, though I am weaker, so the curse affected me far less. Yet to descend, countless lives must be offered."
"So I must thank you for helping me kill so many people. Combined with the half I devoured, it just meets the conditions for my descent. Of course, I also thank the children for tirelessly preparing for my arrival."
The Root-level presence, now dozens of times stronger than before, spread uneasily through the sky.
Gazing at the trunk many times larger than before, the God of All Machines said coldly,
"You think this will resist me?"
The Desire Mother Tree twisted and replied, "No, my Sovereign, it is not just me, but us. Your millennia of suppression and slaughter of us instead united our splintered sects like never before."
"And the Colossus's Brain means far more to you than it does to us. I have heard your story—you wanted to integrate the Colossus and the Cyber Civilization into one. You failed, but you did not give up. You foresaw our inevitable downfall, so you remained in the Dark World, waiting for our fall."
"Waiting for the day you could become a trinity."
