Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 182 Divergence

Its voice carried a hint of hysteria: "Dying sooner or later is the same as dying! Might as well start a war and seize the initiative!"

"All-out war! Forcing humanity to exert all its strength! Forcing Lin Yi—to leave this turtle shell of the initial universe!"

Mengcha's thoughts were filled with a desperate madness: "If I can take advantage of the chaos—enslave them! Make their abilities work for me—"

"At that time—the foundation of our three races—will ascend to an unprecedented peak! The primordial universe—will be within our grasp!"

Sharna's light and shadow dimmed slightly, as if she were weighing the slightest possibility in this insane plan. If she could truly enslave Lin Yi—the temptation—would indeed be enough to overturn everything!

"I object!" Yuan Xin's cold will resounded again, unwavering in the slightest.

"Hmm?" Meng Tu and Sharna's wills instantly focused on the cold mechanical sphere.

The data flow from the source chip poured down like a waterfall, outlining the final rejection:

[Reason for opposition: Total war cannot achieve the core objective—eliminating Lin Yi!]

[Logical Chain:]

Humanity's core strategic priority: Protect Lin Yi >> Territorial gains and losses!

Deduction: Even if 90% of the human race's territory is lost and half of the universe's rulers perish—the giant axe will never allow Lin Yi to step onto the battlefield!

Inevitable outcome: Lin Yi was immediately transported to the absolute safety zone of the giant axe's miniature universe!

Consequences: Our war objective (eliminating/enslaving Lin Yi) has utterly failed! This has also triggered an unbridled reprisal from the Giant Axe!

Give Lin Yi a stable space to develop!

When it reappears with the "Universe Master-level" Resurrection Pill—and joins forces with the Giant Axe for revenge—our three races—will surely suffer annihilation!

The cold chain of logic, like the laws of the universe themselves, nailed Meng Tu's seemingly insane war plan to the brink of failure!

A war fought with all one's might will not only fail to kill Lin Yi, but will also accelerate his dormancy and growth, ultimately leading to an even more terrifying destruction!

This is a dead end leading to the graveyard of the clan!

Meng Tu's enormous snake eyes stared intently at the cold chain of logic, a low, unwilling hiss escaping his throat, but he could no longer utter a single word.

Sharna's light and shadow fell into a long silence, and the hazy halo seemed to dim a bit.

This absolute void is nothing but deathly coldness.

The cold void fell into a deathly silence. Meng Tu's enormous silver serpent body writhed restlessly in the darkness, stirring up chaotic spatial ripples; Sharna's hazy light and shadow flickered like a candle flame in the wind; only the primordial sphere of the Mechanical Father God's core, with its flowing torrent of emerald data, maintained an absolutely rational, cold rhythm.

A short while later—

hum!

The core of the source suddenly lit up! Billions of more condensed and dazzling emerald green data streams gushed out from the core of the sphere like a cosmic waterfall! These data streams were no longer simple text information, but instantly intertwined and reconstructed in the void, transforming into a vast and sophisticated three-dimensional dynamic strategic model!

At the heart of the model is a miniature map of the human race's territory! Especially the initial cosmic coordinates marked in scarlet!

Around this core point, three illusory energy figures emanating different auras were constructed:

A bronze-colored phantom, like a forbidden net bound by billions of chains of laws, exuded a domain pressure that froze time and space, representing a top overlord of the trapping type!

A scarlet phantom, its form ferocious like a colossal beast capable of splitting the heavens, was engulfed in destructive flames of law, representing a top-tier overlord of the offensive type!

A dark purple phantom, ethereal and formless yet containing eerie fluctuations that pierce the soul, seemed to be formed from billions of vengeful spirits, representing the top overlord of soul enslavement!

The vibrant green data stream precisely marks each step, like a scalpel:

[Action Plan: Codenamed "Sever the Source"]

[Executor Configuration: One top-tier cosmic overlord from each of the three races will be dispatched!]

Demon Clan: Overlord of the Heavenly Wolf - Carrying the "Universe Claw", the top-tier offensive treasure of his clan!

Zerg: Bewitching Queen - carries the "Ten Thousand Souls Lamp," the most powerful soul-type treasure of her race!

Machine Race: Entropy Domain Lord - Carries the race's top-tier domain treasure, the Ninefold Prison Map!

[Operation Objective: Forcefully penetrate the core territory of the human race—the outer reaches of the initial universe!]

[Action Mode: Burning Divine Body! Ignoring Defenses! At the cost of complete self-destruction!]

Phase One: The Forbidden One activates the Ninefold Prison Realm Diagram, burning his divine body to its limit, sacrificing his very essence to seal off space and time, isolating the inside from the outside, and delaying the human race's universe master's support, even if it's just for a quarter of an hour!

Phase Two: The attacker activates the "Rending Claw," burning his divine body to its limit, tearing through all of Lin Yi's defenses at the cost of his own annihilation! He severely injures Lin Yi's divine body at any cost, forcing him into a near-death state!

Phase Three: The Soul Master activates the Ten Thousand Soul Lamp, burning his divine body to its limit, sacrificing his soul in an instant to enslave the dying Lin Yi's soul!

[Results Deduction (based on the reaction speed of the Human Universe Master, Lin Yi's life-saving trump card, the defensive strength of the target palace, etc. 1379]

Simulation of 10,000 variables):

Successfully enslaving Lin Yi and evacuating all personnel: Probability ≈ 0.98%

They successfully enslaved Lin Yi, but all three executors perished: probability ≈ 10.35%.

The probability of killing Lin Yi without enslaving him, and all three executors perishing: ≈83.67%

Operation completely failed (no kills or enslavement): Probability ≈ 5.00%

Once action is taken, there is no successful evacuation of the model.

Those chilling probability numbers, like three poisoned cosmic blades, pierced the core of Meng Tu and Sha'erna's consciousness!

There's a near 90% chance that sacrificing three top-tier overlords and three supreme treasures will only result in Lin Yi's demise?!

The probability of successfully enslaving a soul is extremely slim!

Top-tier cosmic overlords! They are the true pillars of their race, strategic weapons comparable to ordinary cosmic lords! The fall of each one is a permanent wound to the race's foundation! Not to mention the loss of three top-tier treasures of the race!

"————" Meng Tu's enormous serpentine eyes stared intently at the scarlet 88.67%, its vertical pupils constricted to their limit! An extremely violent killing intent and resentment roared in its cold blood!

Sharna's light and shadow also fluctuated violently, and that hazy sorrow transformed into a real heartache—the Bewitching Queen was one of the most secretive and powerful soul masters under her command! The Ten Thousand Soul Lamp was also a treasured artifact of the Zerg!

"Source Core!" Meng Tu's voice, like the scraping of metal, carried a suppressed hiss. "This is the—optimal solution—you deduced?! Risking everything—just for that less than 11% chance of enslavement?! Maybe it's just to kill that kid once?!"

Sharna's ethereal voice carried a hint of coldness: "This price—is far too heavy! So heavy—that we can hardly bear it!"
