"Although they are small remnants, their strength is not weak, and they are even somewhat extraordinary. According to our evaluation, each of the deeply awakened adventurers has the strength close to that of an immortal. And for some reason, they Not affected by bad luck, and because of this, it is almost impossible to eliminate them with regular troops."

"Unaffected by bad luck, it's mostly under the protection of Carlos... That's all! This time, it's a hornet's nest. There are so many immortals, and it really can't be solved for a while."

Ivan was given a headache by the group of adventurers, and waved his hands:

"Temporarily suspend the siege, send someone to talk to them, tell them what they had to do at the time, and finally—as long as they are willing to surrender, why not give them another continent of Arad?"

"Your Majesty, if we talk about it... we can definitely talk about it... But, you have to be careful of their false surrender." The golden clown said worriedly.

"Of course I understand that."

Ivan frowned, covered his aching right chest with his hands, and said calmly: "If they are my knives, they will be stained with blood, and it is not so easy to jump back. All in all, delay for me! Time is running out The longer it is, the better it is for me."

Chapter 4 Surrender

Bai Zhiyue, core laboratory.

The dim red light illuminates every corner of the space, and the barrier of intertwined light completely isolates the laboratory from the outside world.The door leading to the outside world was also completely closed at this time, leaving no dead corners or gaps, and rows of fully armed mechanical warriors stood outside the door.

In the center of the laboratory, dozens of supercomputers are neatly lined up, beeping rapidly; these black obelisk-shaped computers are like dozens of large electronic alarm clocks at the same time, emitting dense and sharp sounds at the same time. noise.

On the screens of each computer, a large amount of data is rapidly swiping pages, indicating that they are undergoing quite complicated calculation operations.

All the data was finally collected on an oval-shaped silver-gray main brain. A pink-haired girl who appeared to be less than 20 years old stood in front of the main brain. That beautiful and delicate face always maintained a cold and mechanical expression.Looking at the screen with a solemn expression, ten white and slender fingers moved quickly on the screen, and countless screens were constantly switching with the nimble fingers.

Behind the girl stood a mechanical pyramid, about five meters high, placed there like a fusion of ice and machinery, connected with rows of parallel transistor circuits on the surface.Through the translucent blue-black crystal outer wall, one can see a half-human, half-mechanical black-haired young man sitting on the silver seat in the center of the pyramid.

Dozens of slender and glowing pipelines extended from under the metal base of the seat, connecting all parts of his body.Those pipelines are like an extra nervous system extending from the body, connecting to the supercomputer in the laboratory and exchanging data.

The man and woman who can be alone in the core laboratory are naturally the artificial intelligence Xiaoxi and Yiwen.

At this time, Xiaoxi is using the entire Bai Zhiyue's computing power to check the abnormality of the mechanical body for Yiwen, trying to find the most effective method to help him speed up the recovery of his injuries.

"..."

Ivan sat quietly inside the mechanical pyramid with his eyes closed, immersed in the meditative state of information exchange.

The huge apostle energy is running in the body, making every cell in his body active, actively releasing information signals, injecting them into transistor circuits; turning the entire White Moon into a part of his body, from cells and neutron machinery At the level of protozoa, look for the cause of the long-lasting pain.

Om-!

Suddenly, all the supercomputers vibrated, and a red warning symbol lit up on the screen.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxi sighed and shook her head, silently took a step back, and turned to look at the mechanical pyramid.At the same time, the mechanical pyramid was neatly separated in half, arching out the seat at the core position, and all the transistor circuits embedded in Ivan's back fell off in an instant.

"..."

Yiwen opened his eyes, narrowed them dizzily, then stretched out his hand to cover his aching right chest, and turned his gaze to Xiaoxi:

"My test results came out. It is the neutron mechanical protozoa's overloaded evolution, breaking through the limit it shouldn't reach. In the end, the speed of destruction is greater than the speed of regeneration, so the neutron mechanical protozoa must borrow my power to restore itself... In this way As a result, my strength continued to be depleted, and I fell into an endless cycle of repairing, melting, and repairing. It’s okay in the short term, but in the long run, I will definitely be dragged down by the pain in my body.”

"The test results on my side are also the same." Xiaoxi shook her head, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she said in a solemn tone:

"When the master and the twelve apostles fused with each other and transformed into the original darkness, the neutron mechanical protozoa in your body must have been based on that body and forcibly evolved to the level of the creator's body. However, its foundation is not enough, it should have In the next moment of evolution, it enters the stage of self-destruction."

"But master, you are too strong, powerful enough to delay its self-destruction... In other words, your pain is not your own pain, but the long-term loss caused by the self-destruction of the neutron mechanical protozoa. Do you feel All the pain you feel is the pain of the neutron mechanical protozoa—what's worse, this process is irreversible, because they have already become a part of your body."

After listening to her words, Ivan raised his left hand in silence, looked at the lines on his palm, and asked after thinking for a moment: "The root of everything lies in the lack of neutron mechanical protozoa... Does this mean that as long as I can Obtaining the Balance Gem and Transcendence Gem can completely heal the injury?"

"Hard to say."

Xiaoxi stepped into the base of the pyramid, knelt down and leaned next to him, gently holding his left hand:

"According to the original design plan, the neutron mechanical protozoan obtained two other gems, and when it evolves to the stage of the ultimate body, it can reach the level of pseudo-seventh order. But the body of the creator is obviously stronger than the seventh-order mechanical body, that is, Say... the evolution level of the neutron mechanical protozoa has exceeded its upper limit. Such a result is fatal to you. Even if you get the other two gems, it will only reduce the loss and prolong your life. If you want to completely cure it almost impossible."

"Is it impossible to escape death?"

Ivan raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the laboratory. After being quiet for a while, he suddenly laughed loudly: "So what? Is death terrible?"

As he said that, he took Xiaoxi's hand and squeezed her cold palm tightly, his eyes became extremely exquisite in an instant, like the cold light reflected by the blade:

"On the blood-covered moon, the Lord of Radiance told me with dreams and prophecies that he who resisted would end up dead; outside the thousand-year-old city of the Kingdom of Light, Edizok claimed that the black sky that devours everything wanted to make me the last The sun of the day. In the eternal temple above all time and space, Caruso claimed that he was the embodiment of all things, and declared that the Creator belonged to the invincible law.

"Now they have nothing to say, because I'm the only one who has come to the end! Even Herder and Kahn can only do nothing in front of me, and dare not openly resist! They fear me, just as they fear the monster that can bring thunder and death Force of nature. If it is said that only irresistible fate can defeat me, then I accept this ending frankly."

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Xiaoxi rested her head on his knees, closed her eyes, and her long pink hair fell to the ground along her shoulders: "Yes, you are the great builder... the eternal ruler of the machine empire .”

"Before everything is over." Ivan stroked her soft long hair gently, his eyes gradually softened:

"The last thing I want to do is to subdue the group of immortals in the continent of Arad. I want to turn them from a sharp blade that threatens the empire into a sword and shield that protects the empire...to ensure that my son Fishman can continue Continue the hegemony of the empire."

The Hall of Mirrors outside the Royal Court on Heberon Star.

There are four disharmonious figures standing in this channel that can only receive VIPs.

They are Asura Kidan, Shadow Dancer Nicole, Psychologist Jada, and by the way, Battle Mage Butch.

"I said, is there any conspiracy in the Mechanical Empire? Why did we surrender so easily?" Kidan lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

"Maybe they don't want to keep entangled with us any longer?" Jeda, the thinker, replied in the same low voice: "After all, the territory of the Machine Empire is too big, and we are not easy to deal with it. Suppressing it will only damage the national strength. "

"..." The dark elf girl didn't speak, but just silenced her voice, reminding them to be careful that the walls have ears.

But the battle mage Butch didn't take this matter to heart at all, and turned around carelessly, as if he was admiring the layout of the mirror gallery.

At the entrance of the Gallery of Mirrors, beautifully carved columns look like giant trees of white marble, neatly arranged left and right, and all places that can be painted are covered with murals.Layers of mercury mirror windows are embedded in the dome, reflecting the scene of the corridor into dense and countless mirror images.

The red-haired girl looked out from the side window of the corridor. In the cracks in the cloud, on the edge of the orange-yellow cloud against the sun, the sunlight came through like an unfolded folding fan and shone on the window—— The misty shadow of the hallway is reflected dully on the floor surface of the corridor.

"Excellent!" She admired it obsessively for a moment, and then said full of praise: "I really didn't expect that there would be such an amazing palace on this planet that can be called a steel fortress!"

"Have you forgotten the ruins on the giant beast of the sky curtain? Have you forgotten the palace in the heaven?" Kidan first asked back, and then said bitterly: "The environment there is not worse than here at all, but unfortunately everything is gone."

"Shhh!" Shensi's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

At this moment, a polite yet reserved female voice suddenly reached the ears of the four people, causing them to look sideways.

In the gaze of the adventurer, a tall woman appeared in front of her eyes. She had short wine-red hair, a wide-brimmed military cap, and a well-tailored black military uniform. His gaze, his clean and quick steps, exuded a soldier's temperament.

"My name is Renee, everyone please follow me."

After a brief self-introduction, the female adjutant turned around and made a gesture of please follow me.
