Byron's Blade

Qiu Zheng and Lin Zhao didn't react for a while, looking at Rudolph's body that was cut into three pieces by their sharp blades, an extremely unreal feeling emerged spontaneously.

Mu Li, Lan Ni and Mu Xin remained silent, showing no joy at all, and an ominous premonition shrouded their hearts.Latia sat down on the ground, her face pale.He lowered his head, not knowing what to think.She assisted Dora in launching the mental attack before, and she suffered most of the ensuing backlash for Dora.At this moment, the headache is splitting and it is difficult to continue.Only Zoe celebrated with Dora in her arms, as if they had won the victory.

"Mu Li, go and see if there is a chip on Rudolph." Mu Xin suddenly said.

"Okay." Mu Li immediately squatted down to examine Rudolph's body.After searching every corner from top to bottom, Mu Li's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"No." she said.

When Lan Ni heard this, her heart trembled, she turned her eyes to the nuclear reactor console which was still covered by deformed metal, and said in a solemn tone:

"There's a good chance the chip is in there."

At this moment, Zoe finally noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.She put Dora down, and Dora's legs gave way and she almost fell.Zooey quickly hugged her, letting Dora lean against her body.Then she asked:

"What's the matter? Didn't the old man die? Why do you still have such expressions?"

"Who told you that Rudolph is dead?" Chou Zheng said with anger in his tone, "Look at the nuclear reactor and those deformed metals, do you think he looks dead?"

"But...but he..." Zooey pointed at the horrific corpse on the ground, momentarily at a loss for words.

"The destruction of the body does not mean the death of the spirit, especially for people like Rudolph who once relied on the soul to get out of the body and reborn again. The death of the body does not mean anything at all. Now Rudolph's spirit has been merged with the Zeus's. ai—Zeus merged, his body was destroyed, and his soul can be completely transferred to the ai system. The shield formed by those mutated metals has not broken out of control, which is the best evidence.” Lin Zhao remained calm, The cold voice was like a basin of cold water pouring on Zooey's head.

"Soul digitalization..." Lan Ni suddenly murmured an unfamiliar term in a low voice.

"What?" Qiu Zheng asked confusedly.

"I thought of a concept I saw in a psychiatric book before, which is the digitalization of the soul. It refers to the barrier-free transformation of the human spirit and computer programs. The human soul, or spiritual power , which is formed by the superimposition of signals transmitted by neurons in the brain. The transmission of such signals is actually interoperable with computer programs to a certain extent. I think that Rudolph, including the first princess Rafinu, They use the Nine Gods system to warm and nourish the soul, which is actually a process of digitizing the soul."

"You mean, the souls of all the people connected to the Jiushen system have been digitized?" Mu Xin asked.

"Very likely. If my guess is correct, the reason why Rudolph was able to fuse his soul with Zeus is because his soul is already digitized. It is not much different from AI in essence, but it is more AI is much more powerful and sophisticated. This is equivalent to the system program of the computer being overwritten with another more advanced program, and the entire Zeus is upgraded. And Rudolph changed his body again, this time his body is the steel giant Zeus A beast is much stronger than a human body." Lan Ni said.

"In this case, we can only find a way to break through the deformed metal barrier and enter the console, so we can talk about obtaining the chip and controlling the Zeus." Mu Xin sighed.

"Damn it! Damn old thief, you're so cunning!" Zoe scolded angrily.

Mu Li thought for a while, sheathed his Xin Hanyue, then borrowed Lin Zhao's dagger, and threw it hard at the wall made of deformed metal.The dagger quickly approached the wall, but before it hit the wall, the metal wall suddenly vibrated, the dagger bounced back, and fell to the ground with a clang.

"Rudolph! You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime! Think about it, eating a group of grandchildren in your stomach will make you feel better!" Mu Li shouted loudly.

"Hmph, if you have the ability to cause sabotage, just come and see who will have the last laugh." Rudolph's voice sounded above everyone's heads, which also confirmed everyone's previous conjectures.

"Bang!", the door behind him was suddenly closed and locked, and everyone looked at the closed door behind them without any reaction.Rudolph was afraid that they would give up on the escape, but they had already fought with their backs. If they couldn't take Rudolph here, there would be no point in escaping.

This is a tough tug-of-war. Mu Li and the others don't know how long they have been fighting, how long they haven't been able to sit down and rest, and how long they haven't eaten or replenished their energy.Weaknesses came in fits and starts, but the struggle continued.The deadlock must be broken, but at present, there is still no good way.

Digital countdowns and clocks suddenly appeared on the deformed metal.Rudolph seemed to be mocking them. The current time is 1:19 am on January 02th, and there is 18:02:38 left in the countdown.In other words, in two and a half hours, they will arrive at the federal city of Athena.

Counting the time, they went underground at 02:30 yesterday afternoon and experienced many dangers. They have been fighting almost non-stop for more than 12 hours. For 12 hours, if you take a nap, it is just a matter of closing and opening your eyes.But for Mu Li and the others, this process is extremely long, it seems that after a century, it is still not over.

"Let me do it." Mu Li held Xin Hanyue, and everyone gave way to her.In order to break into the mutated metal enclosure as quickly and effectively as possible, only Mu Li Xin Hanyue's Crescent Slash is the most likely.This is also the only powerful means of attack left by everyone.Although there are still many weapons that can be used in the arsenal, it is no longer meaningful for everyone to enter the arsenal, and now they cannot turn back.

Mu Li's new cold moon whizzed out again, and the silvery white crescent slashed on the deformed metal with unparalleled sharpness.After a burst of metal rubbing sounds that made people's teeth hurt, everyone saw a crack appearing on the deformed metal that was originally smooth as a mirror.Mu Li thought it was really so, she had used the crescent slash to attack the Zeus' hull back then, leaving a trace at that time, but that was the hull after all, much stronger than the deformed metal wall now.Now this deformed metal can't bear her knife.

"There's a show!" Zooey said happily.

"Again!" Mu Li put the knife back into its sheath again, but Rudolph obviously wouldn't be passively beaten again, the mutated metal began to stir, formed two arms, and grabbed everyone.

Zooey had already picked up the door panel she used as a shield, and stood in front of Lanni and Mu Xin.Qiu Zheng, Lin Zhao and Mu Li also joined the battle group against Transforming Metal.Their purpose is to divert the deformed metal and create a gap so that Lan Ni and Mu Xin can enter the console.

At this point in the struggle, the goals of both parties are already clear at a glance. Naturally, Rudolph will not let them succeed, so he does his best to stop them.The deformed metal is very flexible and ever-changing, sometimes it becomes a blade, sometimes it becomes a spear, sometimes it becomes a shield, it can also be used as a fist or a palm, it is very difficult to deal with.

The line in front of the console is already Rudolph's final bottom line. He has no way to retreat and can only stick to it.But for everyone, the difficulty of crossing this line can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.Along the way, he has experienced countless battles, big and small, and there has never been a battle comparable to this one.After fighting for more than ten minutes, there was no stalemate. Rudolph defended tightly, and no one could create a gap.One is that Rudolph's reaction is too fast and too flexible. His current reaction speed far exceeds that of ordinary humans; the other is that he has no worries about physical exertion at all. The energy consumed by these deformed metal movements is provided by nuclear reactors. Yes, everyone is *mortal, and there is no comparison at all.

Mu Li, Qiu Zheng, and Lin Zhao had already started to suffer from injuries, blade wounds and heavy blows everywhere, everyone was out of breath, and their physical strength had reached the limit.Latia and Dora also joined the battle, but they couldn't provide much help. They could only follow Zoe to hide, like an eagle catching a chicken.Zoe's door panel was already in tatters and could no longer withstand the next attack.Rudolph's attacks became more and more fierce, obviously wanting to mercilessly put everyone to death.However, he has always kept his hand on Mu Li, obviously he still remembers the importance of Mu Li to Rafinu's reincarnation.

However, Rudolph was not without injuries. He fought against superhuman beings like Mu Li and Qiu Zheng for a long time, and the damage was also serious.Mu Li's Xin Hanyue is the nemesis of deformed metal. Wherever the knife light goes, the deformed metal is either cut off or split. After more than ten minutes of fighting, the fragments of deformed metal are scattered all over the ground. If it forms an enclosure again, I'm afraid There will be many loopholes.So Rudolph was anxious, he had to take advantage of the flexible use of deformed metal, kill everyone as soon as possible, and solve the threat.

This is an arduous battle where you will live to the death, there is no way out, and there is no loophole to take advantage of.Any strategy has failed at this moment, and the fight now is who can survive the other.What is fighting is willpower, everyone's determination and perseverance.

"Crack", Zoe's door panel was finally shattered. She gritted her teeth, picked up a shattered door panel with both hands, and continued to use it as a weapon, constantly swiping to block the oncoming deformed metal.

"Clang", Mu Li cut off a large section of deformed metal again, and the deformed metal that was separated from the main body immediately split into tiny pieces and sprinkled on the ground, like silver beans sprinkled all over the ground.The feet became unstable. Several times, Lin Zhao and Qiu Zheng's steps slipped, and they almost fell into Rudolph's trick.

After fighting fiercely for another 5 minutes, Rudolph's movements finally slowed down, and his attack was not as violent as before.It's not that he's not in a hurry to kill everyone, but that the deformed metal is no longer in control, there are too many defects, and the linkage has become stagnant.Rudolph was anxious, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief.But at this moment, everyone is also at the end of their strength, except for Mu Li who is still fighting hard, no one can sustain it.Everyone's movements are like slow motion in a movie, elongated and slowed down.Lin Zhao and Qiu Zheng were covered in blood, their clothes were in tatters and their hair was disheveled. They looked horrific.Mu Li was not much better, there was a hideous huge cut on her back, which was cut by Rudolph.

Lan Ni stood up vigorously, supported Mu Xin, took advantage of this gap, and quickly got into the range of the console like a needle.God knows how long they walked for only a few meters away.

Seeing this, Rudolph hurriedly activated the deformed metal to roll back and attack the internal console.But Zoe and Mu Li arrived in time, and they blocked Rudolph's attack together.

"Hurry up! We won't last long." Mu Li shouted with all his might.

Lan Ni has already helped Mu Xin to the console, and the first thing to do is to enter the system and prepare to operate the Zeus.But it really doesn't work, because now Rudolph has set the highest authority, and no one can control the console except him.The situation was urgent, and Lan Ni was also in a hurry, but Mu Xin calmly shouted:

"Latia! Dora! You all come here."

Latia and Dora rushed over after hearing the words, and were almost attacked by Rudolph on the way, but were protected by Qiu Zheng and Lin Zhao desperately.

"Lanny, look around here to see if there is a headset or other data cable that can connect people and machines."

"There are teachers, there are two sets!" Lan Ni's eyes fell on the two sets of headphones on the console not far away.

"Latia, Dora, go and put on those two earphones immediately!" Mu Xin said.

Latia and Dora, who had just rushed over, seemed to understand Mu Xin's meaning immediately, rushed over and put on the earphones.

Rudolph's offensive became fierce again, but the more impatient he was, the more loopholes he would have, and he couldn't break through the defense line of Mu Li and others for a while.

"Listen well, now infiltrate your mental power into the earphones, encounter any force that blocks you, break through and strangle without hesitation. Dora is the main attack, Latia, you assist her."

"Yes!" The two girls responded together.

The mental power permeates into the computer of the console along the earphone hole along the earphone cable.Not long after, Dora and Latia immediately felt that their minds were flooded with various data flow images, and they had never experienced this strange feeling.Consciousness has turned into a virtual body. Following the data flow, they break through one after another. There are constantly firewalls blocking them in front, but they are as fragile as paper.

Not long after, the picture of the data flow faded, and the picture in the mind of the second daughter suddenly became white.In the white snow, stood a man dressed in black. The man stood there with his eyes closed, like the center of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and there was a strange black light in his eyes. He opened his mouth and spit out two words like an oracle:

"Deconstruction."

Latia and Dora were horrified to find that their virtual bodies were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their fingertips turned into streams of data that were constantly being pulled out of their bodies.And their consciousness is constantly moving away.

"Oops!" Lanny exclaimed when she saw that the faces of the two were not right.

Mu Xin immediately reacted and shouted:

"Mu Li!"
