Chapter 232: How Rumors Are Born


The destruction of a Secondary War Fortress, although rare, is not a particularly significant event.

Despite their strength, Secondary War Fortresses have almost zero resistance on the mysterious level. If a powerful individual with special abilities approaches the range of a Secondary War Fortress, they have every chance to destroy it.

But in this battle, no less than three Secondary War Fortresses and one Satellite-Class War Fortress have fallen, which is undoubtedly a sensational event throughout the entire Great Destruction Realm.

Under the gloomy sky, a colossal entity moved slowly across the desolate ground like an ancient beast.

It resembled a small mountain formed by the splicing of countless metal structures, its surface covered with a special dark gray alloy, glistening with a ghostly light under the sunless sky, like a flowing sea of metal.

Intelligent Machinery City, a formidable power conglomerated by all the creations of the Intelligent Mechanism version, is also the battlefield overlord in the Great Destruction Realm.

Beneath that flowing metal shell, countless war factories lie hidden, producing a massive amount of war machines every minute.

In terms of large-scale warfare potential, Intelligent Machinery City ranks second; no entity can hold the first place.

At the first moment when contact was lost with the Satellite-Class War Fortress, Intelligent Machinery City dispatched several Mechanical Sages to survey the battlefield, attempting to reconstruct what transpired there.

In less than half an hour, a detailed survey report was delivered to the highest council of Intelligent Machinery City.

Around the round table, the thirteen members of the Intelligent Mechanism Council, representing the highest authority of Intelligent Machinery City, were all present.

Among them were fully mechanized intelligent lifeforms, information lifeforms residing inside virtual images, and even some with only a brain immersed in nutrient fluid...

The presence of all thirteen council members highlighted the importance Intelligent Machinery City attached to this battle.

In reality, for Intelligent Machinery City, the loss of a Secondary War Fortress is inconsequential.

As long as there are sufficient advanced resources, the industrial level of Intelligent Machinery City can easily manufacture a Secondary War Fortress.

However, even within Intelligent Machinery City, a Satellite-Class War Fortress is an absolute pinnacle of strength. Manufacturing a Satellite-Class War Fortress not only requires a massive amount of advanced resources, but more critically, the three major core modules it carries.

The three major core modules are all Rule Creations and are key to the Satellite-Class War Fortress's ability to hunt Nascent Soul powerhouses.

The Energy Tide, Absolute Spirit Seal, and Spell Obliteration, these three core modules are called the Immortal Hunting Modules, specifically crafted for hunting Cultivators. In addition, there are Godslaying Modules and Absolute Martial Modules, targeting various systems of Transcendents.

The value of the core modules alone far surpasses the materials of the Satellite-Class War Fortress. Moreover, such resources are extremely scarce even in the entire Great Destruction Realm, highlighting the significant loss Intelligent Machinery City suffered in this battle.

More importantly, a Cultivator effectively breached a Satellite-Class War Fortress equipped with Immortal Hunting Modules, shaking the very trump card that Intelligent Machinery City prided itself on. This impact is far more severe than the loss at the level of resources.

Within the round table council chamber, a Mechanical Senator enveloped in flesh and mechanical constructs presided over the meeting, presenting the compiled survey report to the other Mechanical Senators:

"According to the Mechanical Sages' survey and the information transmitted by the central brain, this Cancer of Immortality disguised himself with a cultivation level of Peak of Foundation Establishment to deceive the enemy by presenting weakness, wielding a Banner-type Magical Treasure, and commanding a large number of formidable specters.

In the database of Intelligent Machinery City, there is no record of him. The Mechanical Sage boldly speculates that the one disguised as the Peak of Foundation Establishment Cancer of Immortality probably has a true realm between the Golden Core Peak and Nascent Soul Realm, suspected to be a deeply hidden genuine Demon Dao disciple of the All Immortals Alliance.

And in his hand, the Banner-type Magical Treasure is recorded as the Demon Dao's Ultimate Treasure, the Soul Banner!"

Subsequently, the Mechanical Senator uploaded a document with records of the Demonic Soul Banner.

After reading, the many Mechanical Senators maintained their composure, yet the rapid flow of information in their eyes indicated their emotions were indeed stirred beneath the surface.

Then, a large amount of information circulated amongst the Mechanical Senators.

"Is it really such a ferocious entity?"

"Absorb souls? Could even our Intelligent Mechanism Race's spiritual wisdom be considered a soul?"

"The All Immortals Alliance unexpectedly concealed such an extraordinary powerhouse, wielding such a formidable weapon. Perhaps we should temporarily halt our pressure on the All Immortals Alliance."

Just as the Mechanical Senators were discussing, the presiding senator dropped another bombshell.

"Council members, please pay attention; this Cancer of Immortality's cultivation and treasures are secondary. Even if the Soul Banner is ferocious, our Intelligent Mechanism Race has never set foot on the battlefield personally, and his methods cannot threaten our war machines.

The true critical factor lies in this Cancer of Immortality seeming to possess a Divine Technique capable of causing sudden malfunctions in our mechanical constructs!"

"Based on the analysis of central brain transmission and War Fortress remnants, three Secondary War Fortresses and one Satellite-Class War Fortress all experienced sudden internal failures, eventually triggering an uncontrollable chain reaction, leading to their destruction by the enemy.

This Divine Technique operates on a rule-based power, utterly unshieldable by physical and energy-based methods, even the core modules' Power of Rules are difficult to resist.

Especially during the last confrontation with the Satellite-Class War Fortress, the enemy seemed to suppress the operation of the Immortal Hunting Modules with some method, then again used the Divine Technique to destroy the Satellite-Class War Fortress."
