Chapter 571: A Temporary Agreement with the Mechanical Girl
Chapter 571: A Temporary Agreement with the Mechanical Girl
In an instant, without any visible warning, Silver Fantasy’s hand exerted a slight force, and a current of tens of thousands of volts crackled and surged toward Lynn.
Almost simultaneously, the S&M Power that Lynn had been charging erupted, rushing toward her in a crackling wave.
“What the hell—! (Electric voice)”
“Ooh♡—!”
[Ding! You have been subjected to a severe electric shock. You are now paralyzed. Vitality decreased!]
[Ding! Silver Fantasy’s anger toward you +20! Silver Fantasy’s lewdness +21!]
Yet the two of them still maintained their handshake, their clasped hands trembling and sparking with electricity, their eyes blazing with furious energy—but aside from that, everything seemed perfectly harmonious.
Without a doubt, the reason the lewdness stat could still rise was clearly because it had dropped significantly over this period, sliding down from its max.
The God of All Machines observed their handshake of reconciliation, ignoring the currents surging over their bodies and the red light flaring up.
He said flatly, “In that case, your mission begins immediately. During this time, we will do our best to maintain a stalemate with the three Roots and suppress their ability to strike you down if they discover you. But you must understand—your time is limited. If you drag this out too long, you will die.”Sir Aiwen’s consciousness added calmly, “At the same time, we will imbue you both with a fraction of Root-level power. That should help you resist some curses and conventional attacks, but not too much—otherwise, I won’t be able to keep you within my interference range.”
Their consciousnesses glanced once more at the two, who were still glaring at each other with their hands crackling, refusing to let go.
“Furthermore,” the God of All Machines said flatly.
Sir Aiwen continued calmly, “To prevent you from falling into infighting and forgetting your objective the moment you enter.”
“I have just reached an agreement with the Cyber faction,” the God of All Machines stated flatly.
Sir Aiwen said calmly, “In the name of the Root, we will impose a restriction on you. For the duration of your cooperation, you will be unable to perform any actions that would sabotage or kill each other.”
The moment these words were spoken, Silver Fantasy and Lynn turned their heads in unison, practically shouting at the same time:
“I object!”
“Objection overruled.”
The God of All Machines coldly dismissed their protest.
Sir Aiwen continued calmly, “Everything must serve the ultimate goal. Any backstabbing is explicitly prohibited by this contract. The moment you conceive the intention to kill the other, the contract will activate and inflict unbearable pain upon you. Do either of you have any objections to this?”
“Yes!” Silver Fantasy and Lynn said in unison.
Sir Aiwen’s consciousness nodded and said, “Good. Since there are none, it’s officially passed. Intelligence Machine, help me hold them down. I’ll place the contract.”
“Fine.”
The next moment, the two Roots, having achieved unprecedented cooperation, began to act. Without allowing any resistance, a fraction of their power erupted, pinning the two in place, rendering them unable to move.
Then, Sir Aiwen began the process amid their struggles, and without any surprises, forcibly etched the humiliating contract into their consciousness.
[Ding! You have been forcibly coerced into signing a limited-time contract with “Silver Fantasy.” During the contract period, any act or thought of killing the other will inflict immense pain on you. Duration: 12 hours.]
The next moment.
The overwhelming force pinning them vanished.
[Ding! Silver Fantasy’s killing intent toward you +30!]
[Ding! Your soul is in continuous throbbing pain. Your M Charge has reached max!]
Lynn gritted his teeth, clutching his head with all his strength, forcing himself to stay standing.
On the other side, Silver Fantasy’s hand, gripping her sword hilt, trembled violently as she struggled to endure the sharp pain in her consciousness, barely keeping her balance.
The God of All Machines: “…”
Sir Aiwen: “…”
They suddenly realized that this might not have been the best method.
Because the contract activating the moment it was applied was something they had not anticipated at all.
Given this situation.
This contract might not only fail to foster genuine cooperation but could instead continuously weaken their combat effectiveness…
But things had already reached this point, so they had to make do with what they had.
Ignoring the two as they wavered from the lingering pain.
Sir Aiwen’s gaze locked sharply onto the massive Flesh Leviathan engaged in battle. In his consciousness, he said to the God of All Machines:
“Make your move. Hold them off for me. I’ll interfere.”
“I don’t need your reminder.”
Without any hesitation.
The God of All Machines’ consciousness abruptly withdrew from Lynn. With a cold sneer, its colossal mechanical maw opened wide, and accompanied by a sky-shrouding dragon’s roar, a silvery beam of particle light swept toward the three Roots of the Flesh Cult.
Boom—
The sheer power unleashed by this full-force strike immediately slowed the offensive of the three Roots, forcing them to defend.
And in that gap.
The colossal Psychic Giant controlled by Sir Aiwen’s consciousness flashed with light. Terrifying psychic energy suddenly enveloped the bodies of Lynn and Silver Fantasy.
The space around them began to warp. Reality blurred. Even the dimensional boundaries became unstable.
And within that surging psychic energy, Sir Aiwen’s deep voice echoed in their ears once more.
“You have no way back now. Either unite to resolve this crisis, or crash and burn together. If you are truly determined to kill each other, this contract alone cannot truly bind you.”
“But you must understand: if you fail, I will be lost, and the God of All Machines will fall under the assault of the three Roots. You represent not just yourselves; your choices influence the entire situation.”
“I won’t say any more. Good luck.”
Hum—
At that very moment.
Their figures vanished from their current reality under the influence of psychic energy, being dragged into a higher dimension.
In that dimension, the entire battlefield unfolded before their eyes. They could not only see every detail of the battlefield, but even the internal composition of flesh, machinery, and consciousness of everyone within it.
And when their gazes fell upon the Flesh Leviathan.
The intricate, winding corridors and the dense crowds inside appeared before their vision like a holographic projection.
This was a high-dimensional perspective looking down upon the lower dimensions!
Lynn was stunned.
At this moment, Lynn finally understood the terrifying nature of the path of a Psychic Ascender.
Dimensional ascension!
If this path could truly reach this level, if it could truly elevate an entire civilization into higher-dimensional lifeforms—just how horrifying would that be?
But this state lasted only a moment.
Lynn immediately felt a powerful pull, forcibly dragging him out of this dimension.
And the landing point was inside the Flesh Leviathan!
“Get ready!”
Sir Aiwen’s deep voice came through.
But at this moment.
In this strange space.
Lynn couldn’t help but lift his head, wanting to take one more glance from this high-dimensional vantage point at the true nature of this hell.
What was this hell?
What lay outside this hell?
Why had so many Ancient Gods fallen under a curse? Why could they never escape this cage?
What force was binding the countless souls trapped in this hell? What terrible power was at work!
Finally, just as he was about to be pulled away, he raised his head and looked toward the deepest part of the black mist above the sky.
He gazed into it.
…
Ps: Guess what he saw.
Ps: Also, (┳﹏┳) a little nostalgic for the school days of my friends.
