That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Sink Nielbarn bit his lower lip and stood up. A magic circle lit up beneath his feet, teleporting him to a space deep within the secret realm.

The deep forest is like being surrounded by greenery, with occasional slivers of light filtering through the dense foliage.

Before Sink Nielbaren stood a colossal tree that seemed to pierce the clouds, its thickness immeasurable. Its exposed roots resembled roaring dragons, and its body was covered in green moss.

The abundant moisture and overwhelming vitality almost materialized into sweetness, causing the surrounding plants to overgrow, rot, and then be reborn.

Tiny green lights floated by, emitting a melodious, bell-like laugh.

This is the source of life, the womb of the forest spirits, and the true form of Kainas, the god of the forest.

Sink Nielba approached the giant tree, touched its roots with his right hand, and prayed for a response.

"Great Mother, our Creator, please respond to me and help the Forest Spirits overcome this difficulty."

About the forest god Kainas.

Even novels record very little, so some settings are secondary interpretations.

Chapter 256 The Storm Before the Storm

"As expected, the forest elves began to fight back, using the power of the gods to sweep away the territory of the goblin race."

"The Skywing race is restless and seems to be plotting something, but the God of War, Artes, probably doesn't want to waste his forces. As long as the challenger doesn't launch an attack, he will remain on the throne of the strongest."

"The satellite [Skynet] has been attacked by an unknown force, presumably from the Moon's Moon-Singing Seed."

"The Divine Essence Alchemy Array points set up in the Orc-controlled areas have been destroyed."

"Three combat units went missing while patrolling the Lucia continent. All individual information has been uploaded. It is speculated that the attackers were dragon spirits. The forest spirits have added a contract with the dragon spirits."

On the world map projected in front of him, Hall played with the chess pieces representing different races, pondering a strategy.

The world order is in constant flux, with humans and machine races joining the global war and triggering a series of chain reactions. However, once humans are fully engulfed in this chaotic vortex, they are essentially no different from other races.

No, at least Hall's goal has been achieved.

The emergence of humankind broke the stalemate in the world war, forcing the divine races, who were originally the players in this world war, to personally intervene.

Hall gazed at the giant tree chess piece in his hand, symbolizing the forest elves, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

“It’s not the right time yet. There are still five array points that haven’t been set up. YUKI, send out ten Connectors to teach those orcs who destroyed the array points a lesson. If possible, also collect data on the abilities of their Blood Destruction individuals. That should be able to be turned into skills for humans to use.”

"Send twenty Connectors to support the Goblin race, maintain the balance of power on the battlefield, and be careful not to let them use [Void Zero Protection] and [Marrow Explosion]. Both of these strategic weapons have the ability to destroy the continent. Try to delay their attack on the Lucia continent as much as possible, and also analyze the source of the forest elf race's mutation, which is the power of the Forest God."

"Finally, in the experimental phase of the [Descent] plan, we will break the seal on the [Moon Goddess] and send her to the moon, severing the connection between the virtual reality world and the [Moon Goddess]'s wishes, and letting that incommunicable monster wreak havoc."

"This is the first test, so we shouldn't make too much noise."

"clear."

······

On the far side of the moon, there exists a race called the "Tsukuyomi Species." According to information recorded by the Machine Species, the Tsukuyomi Species are a group of silver-haired, silver-eyed humanoid beings who are emotionally detached. The emotional management of the entire race is entrusted to an individual called the Queen.

When Tsukuyomi experiences an emotional fluctuation strong enough to shake her will, her silver eyes will turn crimson.

Whether they can be called living beings remains a mystery; they do not need food, and their bodies can freely switch between energy and matter.

At this moment, in the desolate lunar desert, several handsome men dressed in plain white robes gazed into the distance, in the direction of [Skynet].

The outer reaches of the planet have always been the territory of the Tsukuyomi species, and launching attacks on the Earth from outer space is a unique attack method of the Tsukuyomi species.

The existence of Skynet undoubtedly violates this ironclad rule.

Although the Tsukuyomi species are beautiful in appearance, they have no gender and do not have a language unique to living beings. They are both a group and individuals, and can easily understand each other's thoughts through a consciousness network.

Just as they were about to end their surveillance for the day, one of the Tsukuyomi's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and he collapsed to his knees in anguish.

The remaining Tsukuyomi were filled with confusion. Before they could react, their minds were corrupted, and they slowly collapsed to the ground.

A moment later, a tentacle descended from the sky and wrapped around the body of the Moonlit Seed.

The crimson moon gradually deepened in color, becoming as red as blood, and then tinged with darkness.

······

Deep in the dark forest, where no sunlight could be seen, the air was filled with a miasma that stank foul.

Five orcs wearing Hannya masks and Japanese-style armor were tinkering with the damaged machinery. A cylindrical mechanical tower with a radius of about 5 meters had broken into several pieces and was lying on the ground.

The orcs discussed what to do with the machines.

"What are those food and machinery plotting? Sneaking around and installing such devices on our territory."

"If it weren't for the priestess's order forbidding the group of food from being attacked, I would have eaten them long ago! In this era, that species called humans is also a rare delicacy."

What should we do now?

"Let's take these things back first. The priestess might know what they're for."

An orc approached the mechanical tower, extending its sharp claws. Its muscles swelled violently from the sudden exertion, and its claws easily pierced through the high-strength alloy, effortlessly lifting the mechanical tower, which was dozens of times its own size.

After cleaning up the area, as the orcs prepared to retreat, they all looked up at the sky in horror.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three Kai-type combat units fell from the sky, blasting large craters like small meteorites.

Within the dust, three mechs scanned their surroundings, their gazes settling on the orc carrying the mechanical tower. They said calmly, "Warning: Your actions will be considered an act of aggression."

"Combat capability assessment in progress."

“Execute script A4534154465745461341”.

"【Annihilation】Mode activated."

The leading orc ordered without hesitation: "Retreat immediately!"

The orcs abandoned their machines and, in less than an instant, unleashed terrifying power, retreating over a hundred meters away.

呲味~

A brilliant red light flashed by.

The fleeing orcs were stunned. In the next second, the dark jungle trees, grass, and even insects were cut into countless pieces smaller than grains of rice.

······

"Deploy the [Fourth Protection of Eternity] to protect the flower boat!"

"Left-wing fleet, advance!"

"hateful!"

Sink Nielbaren, the plenipotentiary representative of the Forest Elves, cursed viciously as a magical projection of the battle unfolded before his eyes: the Forest Elves' fleet of flower boats was clashing with the Goblin's steel fleet.

Both sides fought poorly, mainly due to the presence of a third-party force on the battlefield, the connecting entities outside the battlefield, and hundreds of mech-type combat units.

They stood silently in the void, making no move, seemingly with no intention of intervening in the war.

"Once we've dealt with the moles, I'll scrap all of you machines!" Sink Nielbarn muttered fiercely, then ordered, "Send over more flower boats!"

With the Goblins present, she couldn't use [Void Zero Blessing] to destroy the Goblin fleet in one fell swoop; she could only rely on numbers to win.

On the other side, the goblins basically had the same idea and did not use [Marrow Explosion].

As for the attack aircraft, neither side is foolish enough to do that. Even the Forest Elves, who have declared war, see the Goblins as the mortal enemies that must be eliminated as soon as possible.

It's not too late to deal with the goblins after the machine-type species has been eliminated.

Sink Nielbaren has absolute confidence in the current strength of the Forest Elves.

Knowing that the Forest Elves and the Mechs were at odds, the Orcs were even less worried, thus creating the strange situation where the Mechs calmly watched the show.

There are very few records about the Tsukuyomi species; most of them are secondary interpretations.

However, it won't have a big impact, since they're all supporting characters anyway.

However, the character designs can all be censored.

Forest spirits are indeed treated like doujinshi.

Chapter 257 Detroit: Become Human

Three more months passed intermittently, and the portal to the secret space at the bottom of Zion City opened once more.

Yuki stepped forward, looked up and gazed at Hall's body on the mechanical throne. He looked just as calm and serene as when he first fell asleep.

but···

Yuki clasped her hands together in front of her chest, but her mood underwent a subtle change.

A mix of excitement, anticipation, and a strange sense of fear lingered within me.

During this time, she had long since become accustomed to errors in the operating logic, and when her emotions fluctuated too much, she would often temporarily seal off those feelings.

Leaving it unattended could potentially affect normal operation, so she decided to release all the operational errors at once when Hall woke up.

She believed this would help her find the answer in her heart.

The God of Suspicion, Fanlou, created machine-type creatures that lacked hearts and were unable to communicate. They were too lonely and gave up thinking. For machine-type creatures, the heart is something that must be understood.

Now Yuki understands that perhaps understanding and possessing the heart was the original purpose of the Creator Kaigen created by the God of Suspicion, Horo.

Yuki stepped onto the stairs. It was so quiet that she could clearly hear her own heartbeat, which sounded so rapid compared to a human heartbeat that her breathing became hot.

“This feeling, now should be able to explain the existence of the heart… Master…” Yuki murmured to herself, gazing at Hall with a dreamy look. Just like that, she felt a warm current spreading from her heart to her limbs and bones. Her face flushed red, and her body lost its strength, feeling weak and limp.

She pursed her lips and went to the top of the mechanical throne. Gazing at Hall's face, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke it, her delicate eyes welling up with tears.

It was the complete opposite of the feeling I had the last time we met.

Last time, when she was still mechanical, her body temperature was icy cold; this time, it was Hall's face that was colder.

Yuki was certain that there was nothing wrong with Hall's body; it was her own body temperature that was abnormal.

Yuki leaned close to Hall's ear and whispered, "Master, please wake up. All the array points of the Divine Essence Refining Array have been set up."

At the same time, YUKI released the seal on all operational errors and collapsed.
