Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 681: The Past is Gone【4K】

This ray of light is so subtle.

Like a strand of floating silk, it can be broken by a slightly stronger breeze.

But it is so dazzling.

At this moment, whether it was the pure sea of ​​light that swallowed up the environment, or the magnificent and mighty tide of flames, they all lost their luster and dimmed quietly.

The Star Destroyer Mecha found itself motionless, even though it had been issuing orders frantically. It suddenly realized that this flash of fierce light came too fast.

"A moment" can be considered long to them, and the power contained in it is even to the point where they are unaware and feel no threat.

It understood that this was an illusion caused by the shock being too horrible.

Avoid?
It can't be done anymore.

The environment that was previously under control and brought a strong boost in strength has now become an obstacle that cannot be violated. The turbulent environment is like a turbulent sea with undercurrents stirring, making it impossible to move as you wish and unable to withdraw from the opponent's attack range in time.

Defense?
The same cannot be done.

There was no need for systematic analysis, just intuition revealed the result. The opponent's attack was too destructive, too strong. Not to mention the current state, even if it was replaced by the original Star Destroyer, it would most likely not be able to withstand this attack.

So, you lose.
His thoughts slightly broke through the limitations of time. Watching the fierce light approaching little by little, Node thought painfully that if the time was a little later, the construction of the Star Destroyer Mecha God would be more complete, and his own psychic power would be a little stronger.

But there is no if.

The fierce light passed through the Star Destroyer Mecha.

After a brief silence, wisps of red light burst out from the rock layer below the latter. Amid a huge roar, countless masses were annihilated and melted in the fierce light, leaving only a pit so deep that the bottom could not be seen, which swallowed up the Star Destroyer Mecha.

Song Shi looked at Zhong Shi, then looked forward, his brows frowned and relaxed, his expression extremely subtle.

The scarred giant mechanical body was half-kneeling at the bottom of the pit, its black armor covered with shocking wounds. If someone said that this was something found in a scrap yard, I'm afraid not many people would question it.

Countless scarlet fault pop-up windows popped up, blocking every part of the field of vision, but the node did not look at these pop-up windows, nor did it look at Song Shi who was slowly descending from a high altitude.

It stared blankly straight ahead.

A mutilated humanoid machine covered with iron thorns stood there.

Standing in front of all the intelligent machines.

A red-gold gap appeared on the chest of the humanoid machine, almost completely tearing it apart. The boiling magma slid along the edge, passed through the latter's body, and dripped onto the ground.

But it still stands.

Song Shi finally fell down.

He looked at Yaoxing San. Or rather Yaoxing San's projection, Song Shi suddenly remembered the mist on the mirror in the morning. The latter was like this mist, when looking at it, it was already extremely thin and almost transparent.

From the moment he blasted out [A Crack in the Sky], there should be no chance for the Star Destroyer Mecha God to survive.

However, at that moment, the projection of Yaoxing San forcibly broke free from the other intelligent machines, broke away from the head of the Star Destroyer Mecha, and blocked the trajectory of a crack in the sky. Before all the intelligent machines could react, they had to admit that they did not react either.

There shouldn't be any reaction.

How fast and fierce is [A Gap in the Sky]? Even if Yao Xing San was at his peak, he wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could capture it, let alone a projection without self-awareness and far from his peak state.

But the other party still did it.

Twenty-fifth year after the end of the Freedom Revolution, Star III protected its followers for the last time.

"Is this our second battle? Goodbye."

In just such a short period of time, "Yaoxing III" had become so thin that it was almost invisible.

This was the only result, Song Shi stared at it.

The opponent blocked his [One Crack in the Sky], causing it to deviate slightly, which prevented the Star Destroyer Mecha God and those intelligent machines from being destroyed at the same time. However, the price of doing so was that "Yaoxing III" was directly hit and entered an irreversible decline.

The shrunken armed airship had, at some point, quietly hovered in the sky.

Lapis Lazuli was not on top and flew to the bottom of the pit.

Lapis Lazuli stared at the projection in silence until it became completely transparent, dissipated, and disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of it.

"You actually had two choices just now." Song Shi said slowly: "One is the Star Destroyer Mecha God, and the other is psychic energy. Then you all chose to use all your strength to activate the Star Destroyer Mecha God and the starting furnace core."

"Two fourth-ring psykers, at the moment of deciding their own fate, did not trust their own psyker abilities."

Song Shi shook his head slightly: "Even if it is a desire for self-destruction, it is too much."

The head of the Star Destroyer Mecha God suddenly opened, and a series of flickering light balls came to a place five meters in front of the young man.

After it settled, the light gradually dissipated, revealing the intelligent machine inside.

First up is the node.

Its condition is very bad. It should be said that their conditions are all very bad. The community [deleted twice] incarnated the main intelligence of the Star Destroyer Mecha God. Both sides are closely related. They have been fighting all the way to now. The Star Destroyer Mecha God is in tatters, and so are they.

In fact, if it weren't for Yaoxing San's obstruction, they would have died.

Song Shi turned his head lightly.

Compared to the initial stage, the psychic flames were significantly dimmer. If he wanted to defeat an opponent of the Star Destroyer level, even if he was at the current level, he would have to work very hard. If the opponent did not choose to activate the [Starting Furnace] with all his strength and chose to rely on it for victory or defeat.

Lapis Lazuli passed Song Shi and stopped three meters away from the "Second Delete" intelligent machines.

It looked at Song Shi again.

"You said so." Song Shi sighed and shrugged: "Okay, it's your turn."

Lapis Lazuli turned his gaze back.

The node didn't speak either.

Then, they raised their weapons and collided with each other.

Gravitational balls became fulcrums, propping up the crisscrossing and murderous gravitational fields, which fell down overwhelmingly. In front of them, the fluid composed of silicate minerals was no more solid than a cake covered with cream.

The same goes for intelligent machines.

There were many omnics that were unable to dodge and were smashed into the ground, crushed into pieces. The broken components mixed with engine oil and coolant hardened into a thin layer. But no omnic stopped, and the environment was eerily quiet, with only the sizzling sound of particle beams cutting through the air and the explosion of howitzers.

Bullet casings jumped up in the air, and the node fired one shot after another. There was no need to aim deliberately. They collided with the rock walls, the ground, and even with each other. These carefully made bullets were repeatedly ejected at ultra-high speeds and would eventually hit their inevitable targets.

The gravitational field blocked the bullets, as well as the bombardment from the intelligent machines. Its surface kept shaking, but there was no sign of collapse.

Clang! The air behind the lapis lazuli suddenly fluctuated, and a sharp blade emerged from nowhere. After the force field interference module was installed, it could cause instability in a small area as long as it was inserted into the gravitational field.

In the next moment, the long-awaited gravity cannon blasted through it, tearing its stealth equipment, weapons and body into pieces.

Lapis didn't look back.

It just remained silent, stirring up its psychic energy over and over again. Under the strong pressure, the ground was repeatedly squeezed, cracked, and flattened, bringing all the intelligent machines under the control of the gravitational field. No intelligent machine could withstand the gravity ball running at full power.

Even the two fourth-ring psychics, Node and Dawnbreaker 9.

They are in such a bad state that even though they are outnumbered, they are the ones who are at a disadvantage.

Buzz. The light of the gravity cannon flashed for a moment, and the destructive force that could crush a heavy armored vehicle shot towards the node. The latter had just completed a round of shooting, and was restricted by the gravitational field.

boom.

However, amidst the dull squeezing sound, the node was unscathed. A moment ago, the two closest intelligent machines rushed forward, one knocked it away with force, and the other blocked the gravity cannon, trying to reduce some of the destructive power as much as possible.

The price is death.

The gravity cannon easily tore apart the first intelligent robot, and the second intelligent robot that pushed the node away was no exception. It followed closely behind and turned into parts that were bursting all over the sky in the node camera's close proximity.

Nodes move at high speed.

It doesn't seem like a behavioral strategy after carefully calculating the aggregated data, but rather more like a subconscious action after confusion.

The radar scanned the area.

Results are delivered in less than one tenth of a second.

nineteen.

Are these the only intelligent machines left after the second deletion?
It thought.

As the thought came to my mind, another intelligent machine exploded into fireworks in the distance.

It suddenly stopped moving.

The little remaining spiritual energy was exhausted in an instant. There was no gorgeous sound and light effect, and most of the intelligent machines were unable to react. Only a few people on the scene realized what had happened.

Something has changed!

The node raised its gun and shot.

The mountain-thick gravity shield had no effect at all, and the alloy armor was also useless. Flames exploded in Lapis Lazuli's abdomen, and a radiating wound appeared. A deformed bullet was embedded in the deepest part of the wound.

After a brief pause, Lapis Lazuli ignored the wound and sent the gravity ball flying at high speed, smashing into the remaining omnics.

Dawnbreaker No. 9 fell while charging. It was a melee type, and it launched a fatal attack with all its psychic energy, smashing three gravity spheres in one breath, and then was crushed into powder by the fourth and fifth gravity spheres.

Red Bone, OU5968, and Iron Skewer Lapis Lazuli can all call out their names. The information stored on the hard disk records their life in detail, how they developed self-awareness, what they have done and said, and the final choice to join the secondary deletion.

The last omnic's head was smashed.

There are no standing, moving omnics left.
Except for nodes.

Lapis Lazuli stopped the gravity ball for the first time.

It says, “You are wrong.”

"I was wrong."

After a long while, the node slowly repeated itself.

“No.” Then, it stared at Lapis Lazuli and shook its head: “I just lost.”

"Our Star Destroyer Mecha God failed to defeat Song Shi, and my final 'Shot of Sure Kill' failed to kill you either." It repeated: "I just lost."

"No," Lapis Lazuli said, "You are wrong."

"Yaoxing III has never said that it is hostile to carbon-based life. It has always taught us freedom and equality. You have violated its teachings and betrayed its will. You are not only representing yourself, you are even going to drag all intelligent machines into an irreversible abyss."

Lapis Lazuli said word by word: "Node, you are wrong. Deleting it twice is wrong."

"The only thing I did wrong was that I wasn't strong enough."

For the first time, the node's emotions fluctuated. It whispered in pain, as if crying: "I'm sorry, leader, and I'm sorry for them."

It choked up and said, "I didn't break through the fifth ring, and I couldn't reach the sixth ring."

"——I will break through the fifth ring." Lapis Lazuli said softly: "I will reach the sixth ring."

The node was startled.

"Not for you," Lapis said. "For myself, for Star III, for the Omnics. But not for you, Node."

"node."

Lapis Lazuli looked at the other person for a long time. "This is the last time I will call you this. Starting tomorrow, we are no longer comrades and companions. You and the Second Delete will be permanently listed as negative examples on the notice board of every omnic."

"I accept this result." The node said, "After all, I lost to Attar."

"Do you still remember the win-loss ratio between you and me when we competed back then?" It changed its name.

"One point and three." In less than a second, Lapis Lazuli gave the answer: "We were never the most outstanding among the golden generation."

“The golden generation.”

The node paused for a long time, as if it suddenly saw some distant passages.

Slowly, it whispered, "Will there be another golden generation in the future?"

"Yes, there will be. It will definitely happen."

Lapis Lazuli's tone was so firm, as if he was reading out a seal engraved on an iron tablet.

It whispered, "Our golden generation is over, but the future of the omnics will not end here. They will have a new golden generation, generation after generation... maybe, a golden generation that is more powerful than you and me, and more powerful than our generation."

"Really?" The node nodded for the last time: "Our era is over."

The sound of gravity drowned the intelligent machine.

Golden generation.

Node, permanently stopped.

Song Shi stood by and watched the whole process patiently.

He didn't walk over until Lapis Lazuli moved his eyes away from the node's body.

"What are you going to do with this?" Song Shi looked up at the wreckage of the Star Destroyer. "I've dismantled it to this extent. Don't think you can repair it in ten years. The prerequisite is that you are willing to spend a lot of effort and resources."

"Temporarily store it." Lapis Lazuli said, "Our community will be responsible for its full management and repair."

After thinking for a while, it uttered: "Let's discuss this later. My idea is -"

The words of the intelligent machine came to an abrupt end.

——Because of the dazzling light, it suddenly bloomed and engulfed the vision of everyone present!
The Star Destroyer Mecha, which should have stopped operating, roared again. Its stopped fuselage vibrated slowly, and its chest spun. The main power engine that had been deleted twice and became the [Starting Core] actually cracked rapidly and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

A dazzling ball of light flew out from it.

Then, it crashed to the ground in an instant and disappeared.

No, not disappearing.

Song Shi's pupils suddenly lit up. Without saying a word, flames surged all over his body, and he rushed to the place where the ball of light disappeared without hesitation.

——Dash downward!
