This isn't a souls-like game at all.

The little goblin looked at Bao Xia in surprise. "And you're still moving bricks by hand? Why not use mechanical vehicles? Don't you want to?"

"Ah this..."

Baoxia suddenly choked.

Yeah, why don't we use mechanical vehicles to transport bricks?

But this is not the Rodno Empire bordering the east, so where do the vehicles come from in this barbaric country bordering the south?

Not long after, Bao Xia looked at the huge door in the center of the warehouse with drooping eyebrows, which opened outwards with the sound of mechanical engagement. A large number of eight-legged "weight-bearing" mechanical vehicles drove in from behind the door, and were neatly arranged next to the hill made of universal bricks, and began loading operations.

"Can this vehicle be used without a driver?"

Ye Yiyi landed on top of a load-carrying vehicle with an expression of surprise, lowered his head to glance at the cab, and then saw a small octopus-shaped skilled servant driving the vehicle.

He remembered a similar but larger skilled servant. He had seen one similar to the witch's. It seemed to be helping Norsley build a house...

"Where does this road lead to?"

He turned to look at the dark corridor behind the gate and asked the goblin.

"The gate to the hub is where the train is parked after you take the train from outside the workshop."

"Oh?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows when she heard that.

Isn't that the place where he first encountered the eye whisker parasite?

If you go up from there, you will reach the holy monument at the "hub gate".

If the Cyberson Obudo hasn't left yet, he should be at the holy monument.

"So this is the shortcut..."

He looked puzzled, and suddenly remembered the bad premonition he had in front of the hub gate.

It turned out that he was right not to go out through the main gate at that time, otherwise he would have run into the lair of the World-Destroying Will.

Thinking of the scene of tens of thousands of world-destroying insects pouring out of the main gate, his brows twitched.

What if this swarm of flying insects swarms into the ground...

"Then it's better not to open the door..."

He thought to himself and followed Yudnana to look around. In a corner of the warehouse, he found various types of black boxes neatly stacked, almost forming a small mountain.

After a quick inspection, Yudhenana nodded with satisfaction.

"Basically intact. Although they haven't been maintained for ten thousand years, with the protection of His Highness the Skillful Divine Machine's magic and blessings, these things won't deteriorate even if they're kept for another ten thousand years!"

Just as the goblin finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the empty warehouse.

"Warning! Abnormal reaction activity detected! Workshop power supply core shutdown detected! Black box isolation layer failed in 4 hours, 12 minutes and 22 seconds!"

"Warning! The workshop's space-time isolation layer is running low on energy!! It will cease operation in 13 minutes and 56 seconds!"

"Warning! Warning! The workshop's emergency self-destruction measures have entered the activation process. The annihilation storm will be activated one minute before the space-time isolation layer is shut down!"

"Please contact the workshop manager Xiti immediately! Please contact the workshop manager Xiti immediately!!"

"what happened?"

Baoxia stared at the sky blankly, his expression confused.

"Isn't there something wrong with the power supply core? Why did it suddenly stop working? And the self-destruct measures... wait!"

He was horrified and was about to turn around to call Ye Yiyi when a black shadow suddenly rushed over his head, stirring up a fierce gust of wind.

Bao Xia looked up, but only saw the dark shadow disappear as the load carriers drove neatly into another gate.

"You're right! How could the power core stop working?"

Ye Yiyi had a dark face, and Yudenna huddled in his chest pocket, her head blown away by the strong wind.

"Eudinana doesn't know either..."

The little goblin's aggrieved voice came from his pocket.

"The energy core has the most powerful protection measures in the entire workshop, and it is also protected by the magic personally set up by His Highness the Universal Light. Logically speaking, it is impossible for it to stop working!"

“But it still stopped!”

Ye Yiyi flew upwards along a spacious sloping corridor under the bright red alarm lights. On the way, his eyes swept over the orderly line of load-bearers moving forward below him. The bright blue light emitted by a large number of universal bricks was like a gentle hand smoothing his frown.

Fortunately, there are no bugs blocking the way here...

But the big hole that the previous wave of world-destroying Zerg left was facing the same direction as this door, so it was hard to say that they didn't leave here to look for the energy core.

"What about the space-time isolation layer and the self-destruction process?"

But when he thought of what was mentioned in the alarm just now, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but frown again.

"That's because the workshop itself and the outside world are separated by three layers of barriers."

Yudena replied in a muffled voice:

"The first is the material isolation layer, which is the nearly a thousand-meter-thick rock layer above the workshop. The second is the black box isolation layer, which applies black box containment technology to the construction of a spacetime field. It can prevent the objects contained in the workshop from escaping due to containment failure."

"In other words, the workshop itself is a giant black box made up of countless different black boxes!"

"The space-time isolation layer is the 'big black box' outside all these black boxes. It's the lacquer shadow illusion cave created by His Highness Huan Yu Guang after Xiti King Craftsman transformed the 'collapse black box' into an energy core, using his newly comprehended magic secrets. It's also called the space-time isolation layer."

"This lacquer-shadowed illusionary cave possesses the same material laws as the real world. It is a physical space that can exist forever, yet it is self-contained and completely isolated from the outside world. Therefore, it is also called a 'microcosm.'"

"Little universe..."

Ye Yiyi muttered to herself.

No wonder he said that the cosmic aura could not unfold here and the public's view was also blocked. It turned out that the workshop itself was isolated from the perspective of time and space.

As for the Lacquer Shadow Cave...

He suddenly realized that this was not the first time he had seen such a physical space.

He reached out and touched it, then took out a black glass bead with cracks on the surface.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

[Lacquer Shadow Cave] (broken)

Item Description: A magical crystal containing the power of the Light of the Universe.

One of the purest crystals of the technique.

It can use physical matter to create a physical space that exists forever.

It is said that the Universal Light One was one of the first ancient kings to die in the war.

What remains of its pure power is closely guarded.

Therefore, it became a key prerequisite for victory in the war.

Yudnana looked over and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Wait! Your Highness, how do you possess the magical entity of the Lacquer Shadow Phantom Cave?"

“Indeed, it is…”

Ye Yiyi put away the glass beads and sighed slightly.

This broken lacquer shadow phantom cave originated from the "Tower of the Cursed Death" built by the Cursed Death Legion to transform the deep darkness right below Lupe Castle.

"Therefore, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the objects contained within, the King's Workshop will destroy all matter within the physical space in the form of an annihilation storm when the Lacquer Shadow Cave is damaged."

"Just like when the Lacquer Shadow Cave that housed the Cursed Death Tower spontaneously collapsed..."

He looked down at the light curtain, and a familiar progress bar suddenly popped up.

[Deconstruction progress of the Annihilation Storm: 39%]

"Although this is a rare opportunity to increase deconstruction progress..."

He put away the glass beads, sped up again, arrived at the gate at the end of the corridor, and released Yuangungun.

"But it's such a shame to destroy such a large workshop!"

"Kakakaka!!"

The door of the mechanism opened a crack outward with a roar. Ye Yiyi looked forward and saw a chaotic battle scene like a group of demons dancing wildly.

In the empty hall, countless dense swarms of world-destroying insects, led by world-destroying warriors, are fighting with a large number of half-flesh and skillful slaves.

"Roar!!"

Amidst a shrill roar, a gray flame flying dragon wearing embroidered corrosive dragon armor swooped down, emitting a deep dark light, corroding the world-annihilating insect swarm and the skillful slaves into slag.

"hiss!!"

In the distance, on the tower-like energy core, the inchworms raised their heads and roared, emitting hot waves.

"You lowly insects!"

Ye Yiyi walked into the door with a dark face.

"I'm going to kill you all!"

Chapter 642: Kill the king and proclaim himself king.

In the vast hall, a huge melee involving over ten thousand people is unfolding.

Ye Yiyi was floating in the air with a dark face, looking forward. Dense swarms of world-destroying Zergs almost filled every corner of his sight, and they were constantly engaged in extremely bloody battles with strange enemies of various shapes!

The largest force among them, second only to the World-Destroying Zerg, is composed of nearly a thousand creatures that are four meters tall and upwards. Their steel bodies are wrapped with scarlet muscle tissue and sharp bony cuticles. Their appearances are bizarre, some human-like and some non-human, like some kind of flesh-and-blood creature that has been mechanized.

It was a strange being born from extreme foreign pollution, a skilled slave whose body was half flesh and blood.

The divinity from foreign gods transformed the external forms of those steel creations, turning the inorganic matter on their surface into "inorganic flesh and blood", and the power core in their bodies into a surging and beating "iron heart".

Led by three fifteen-meter-level, semi-fleshed, assault-type skill slaves, a large number of "Ironhearted Slaves" wielded bone hammers and saw blades, mercilessly slaughtering the painless Zerg.

They seemed to have gathered into a sharp knife, piercing deeply into the rolling waves of the world-destroying insect swarm.

Apart from these two extremely numerous beings, the rest who can survive and stand firm in this tragic battlefield are all special beings with extremely powerful individual abilities.

Among them, there is a strange flying dragon that waves huge wings burning with gray flames, wears rusty dragon armor, and spews deep and dark light from its mouth.

There is a strange beast that looks like a cat, with a huge and illusory body, covered in a dark mist, and a ferocious face can be vaguely seen emerging from the mist.

There is a strange iron mountain that is as big as a mountain, as if it is made of fine steel, with countless retractable sharp steel spikes growing on its surface. The corpses of world-destroying warriors and iron-hearted slaves are strung on it. It can remain motionless even if the enemy hammers it in every way.

There was a human-shaped skeleton more than ten meters tall, wrapped in pale flames. It was holding a huge bone sword and slashing the insect swarm back and forth. It was a strange creature that kept making strange howls.

It has spiral horns on its head, no hands or feet, and a body that is transparent and crystal clear like a diamond ball. It continuously radiates deep purple arcs of light, forcibly controlling the World-Destroying Insects and Iron-Hearted Slaves to fight for it. It is an alien creature.

……

Ye glanced at the various "heroes" fighting in the hall, and finally turned his gaze to the end of the hall on the far left.

There, stood two conical metal spires, one on the ceiling and one on the ground.

In the center of the two spires, a huge golden ball of light was suspended.

At this moment, the golden light of the ball of light dimmed, and seemed to be about to go out.

But what was even more terrible was that above that ball of light, there was a huge strange creature wrapped around it.

The creature had no specific shape, just like a white stream of light that had turned into a solid body, bounded by a large number of hollow metal rings suspended in the air.

"Inchworm!!"

Ye Yiyi's complexion became even darker!

"That's the power core!"

Yudenana pointed at the golden ball of light in the center of the two towers and shouted loudly, but her weak, angry voice was drowned out by the noisy sound in the hall.

"I was wondering why the power core stopped working. Turns out it was all the bad earthworms' fault!!"

"Your Highness! It's the one that entangled the energy core, disrupting the normal energy supply process. This not only caused the energy core to shut down, but also in turn affected the stability of the collapse black box, causing the space-time isolation layer to gradually close!"

Ye Yiyi narrowed her eyes when she heard that and subconsciously moved her wrist.

"In other words, as long as the inchworms are killed, the energy core will be able to resume operation, and the space-time isolation layer will not be closed due to lack of energy?"

"That's not enough! We need to use the universal energy to urgently restart the power core!"
