Chapter 251 Battle Begins, Collision! War of Doom! _2
However, the Mechanical Spirit pondered for a moment before discovering...
its previous thoughts seemed to be somewhat incorrect.
Such a direct collision, although possibly less impactful than a salvo of weapons, was still terrifying.
How many of those millions of people could survive the aftermath of the collision?
If Su Yu truly cared about those millions of people, and the lives of Xiao Shengyin and the other two, how could he initiate a collision without saying a word?
The Mechanical Spirit once again felt it couldn't figure Su Yu out.
"Or does the master have a deeper meaning?"
thought the Mechanical Spirit.
At this moment, the Mechanical City had already fiercely collided with the twisted mass of flesh that was the true form of the Vengeful Demon.
Before the Mechanical City hit it, the Vengeful Demon was already desperately twisting its body, trying to avoid the impact, but it was at a critical juncture and its movement speed was astonishingly slow, making evasion impossible.
Then...
BOOM!
The next instant, the shield of the Mechanical City fiercely slammed into the body of the Vengeful Demon.
A vast city spanning hundreds of kilometers, ramming at subsonic speed into a giant mass of flesh spanning tens of kilometers—what an earthshattering event!
In an instant, at the point of contact, a violent explosion erupted, with nuclear-like light and heat seemingly forming a small sun in mid-air!
Not just light and heat, but a terrifying shockwave expanded in all directions.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, the Mechanical Spirit immediately activated its full capabilities, setting up layer upon layer of shields inside the Mechanical City.
In an instant, most of these shields shattered.
The structure of the Mechanical City was also partially annihilated.
Fortunately, the annihilated areas were manifested through data and could be quickly restored.
As for the physical parts of the Mechanical City, they were well protected, and the city's residents were unharmed, though greatly startled.
However, at that moment, the Mechanical City could only protect the people within it; those on the ground were completely beyond consideration.
At this moment, seeing all this unfold, Xiao Shengyin, Qi Chen, Shao Lan, and the others were all aghast.
They hurriedly attempted to activate their abilities to dodge and defend against the terrifying shockwave.
However, as they just began to activate their abilities, they found that their powerful Spiritual Energy within was utterly unresponsive! Unmoveable!
No! It wasn't that their Spiritual Energy was unresponsive, but their "memory" of using Spiritual Energy had vanished!
They forgot how to use their Spiritual Energy!
This was the Vengeful Demon using some bizarre method to extract the memory of Spiritual Energy usage from Xiao Shengyin and the others, robbing them of their power.
Having lost their memory of Spiritual Energy, Xiao Shengyin and the others were just slightly sturdier ordinary people.
Thus, an eight-star powerhouse and two seven-star powerhouses could only stand stupefied, waiting for the shockwave to reach them.
Though they lost their Spiritual Energy, they could actually withstand just one shockwave since their physical constitution still prevailed, something the Vengeful Demon couldn't extract.
But if there were a few more hits like this, they would surely die.
Not to mention, how many of the tens of thousands of migrating people behind them could survive this shockwave?
"Mr. Su Yu is truly ruthless to launch an attack so directly!"
"...However, we haven't known him for long, and our relationship isn't deep."
"Did we misjudge him before?"
"Are we all going to die here today?"
In their hearts, Xiao Shengyin and the others couldn't help but feel a touch of despair.
Amidst the intense collision, neither the Vengeful Demon nor the Mechanical City had their invisibility effective anymore.
Thus, those millions of migrating people also witnessed this earth-shattering clash.
They weren't desperate but looked utterly bewildered.
This doomsday-like scene made most people feel unreal, wondering if they were dreaming?
Why, while traveling, did they suddenly witness a Sky City fighting with a massive blob in the sky?
Could it be an illusion?
However, in the next instant, the terrifying shockwave arrived, making them realize it wasn't an illusion but reality!
"So, the end of the world has come, and we're going to die?"
The millions of people didn't have time for despair, only one thought on their minds—Judgement Day had arrived, and they were doomed.
In such catastrophic aftershocks of a doomsday battle, how could they possibly survive?
Indeed, in their eyes, the collision between the Mechanical City and the Vengeful Demon was nothing short of a doomsday war!
Some people, with slightly more thoughts in mind, felt not despair but regret:
"It's just a pity that we won't get to see the outcome of this great battle. We don't even know who will win or who—or rather, what—the participants of this battle are?"
These people, like ordinary folk facing the apocalypse, couldn't even muster a sense of despair.
What use is despair in this situation? Better to think if there's anything regrettable...
At this moment, a peculiar power suddenly appeared out of nowhere upon them.
Under the influence of this power, their bodies immediately became much firmer.
The terrifying shockwave impacted Xiao Shengyin and the others without causing any harm, only blowing them around uncontrollably!
And as for the millions of residents, most of them were directly swept up into the air, drifting randomly.
Fortunately, they were merely blown away, but under some unknown protective force, there were no casualties among the millions, though they were greatly frightened, screaming and shouting.
The millions of people were confused—what happened? They weren't dead?
But Xiao Shengyin and the others quickly understood: it was Su Yu's power! Who else would have such means to protect them?
"Turns out, we misjudged Mr. Su Yu!"
Xiao Shengyin and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Su Yu did care about their lives after all.
Their guess was correct; the force just now was indeed Su Yu's Power of Dominator! An ally's protection!
As a War Mechanic, Su Yu had become the dominator of the battlefield.
Now that the Mechanical City had initiated a collision with the Vengeful Demon, it was already an extensive war.
Thus, activating the ability allowed for strengthening the allies and weakening the enemies.
This way, Xiao Shengyin and the others could be protected from the fallout.
Su Yu, seeing how effectively his Power of Dominator worked, also breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, during the collision, he didn't have full confidence; now it seemed the effect was good.
Then he immediately instructed the Mechanical Spirit: "Mechanical Spirit!"
"Yes! Master!"
The Mechanical Spirit didn't wait for Su Yu to finish and already understood his intention.
It promptly materialized a massive number of mechanical arms, grabbing and fishing at Xiao Shengyin and the millions of people.
This was to take the opportunity to grab everyone into the Mechanical City for protection!
The efficiency of the Mechanical Spirit was exceptionally high, as it utilized the ability of Data Materialization to manifest millions of small mechanical arms; in a short time, almost all the population had been grabbed and was being reeled into the Mechanical City.
At this moment, the Mechanical Spirit was maximizing its Computational Power.
In less than one-tenth of a second, it precisely controlled millions of mechanical arms to grab millions of people, consuming an immense amount of computational power.
It's worth noting that Su Yu's Hundred-Armed Mecha already required a very high computational demand.
What about a million mechanical arms?
Moreover, the Mechanical Spirit also maintained the materialization of most of the Mechanical City's structure simultaneously, consuming an even more ridiculous amount of computation.
Only because the Mechanical Spirit had advanced to eight stars and received Su Yu's Mechanical Blessing could it accomplish such feats.
Beside them, Xie Yitian, seeing the operations of the Mechanical Spirit, was utterly flabbergasted.
As a Data Ghost, he understood all too well the significance of the Mechanical Spirit's operations.
Currently, managing tens of thousands of human carriers was already taxing for him; most carriers only moved mechanically and clumsily, barely able to carry out simple commands like moving forward or backward.
Yet the Mechanical Spirit could simultaneously manifest and control millions of mechanical arms with precise manipulation.
This method was simply beyond Xie Yitian's imagination.
"Is this Mr. Su Yu's power, or his Data Life servant's power? This power, it must be eight-star, maybe even nine-star?"
"Indeed, Mr. Su Yu has a way to help Data Lifeforms surpass eight stars, maybe even nine stars. Following him can't be the wrong choice!"
