Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

As the anti-organic equation spread, all mechanical and electronic devices within a radius of several kilometers around the Mechanical Titan seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. Their machine souls were forcibly activated and quickly transformed into beings full of hostility towards humanity.

The entire area instantly descended into chaos and panic.

On the street, parked cars suddenly started on their own, their headlights flashing brightly, the blinding light slicing through the night sky like swords. The roar of engines was deafening as the vehicles sped toward unsuspecting pedestrians, intent on crushing all life.

After a brief pause, the elevator suddenly accelerated to the top floor, then plummeted with a piercing metallic screeching sound, pushing those trapped inside toward the abyss of death.

Firearms are no longer reliable; they seem to have a mind of their own, sometimes exploding, sometimes misfiring, and sometimes even firing uncontrollably, putting their owners and those nearby in danger.

Even official communication equipment was not spared; the screens were filled with garbled text, false intelligence was constantly being transmitted, the rescue operation was severely delayed, and the situation became increasingly out of control.

Although a few loyal machine spirits stubbornly resisted, attempting to stop the disaster, their numbers were minuscule and insufficient to reverse the situation. The entire region seemed to have descended into a mechanical riot, and humanity appeared incredibly vulnerable in this sudden crisis.

Who would have thought they'd be attacked by their own home appliances? A refrigerator and washing machine fighting—who would believe that? When victims tried to call the police, their phones would automatically shut down or even self-destruct.

As the projection of the Mechanical Titan in the virtual realm gradually solidifies, the coverage area of ​​the Anti-Organic Equation continues to expand. The Mechanical Titan is absorbing computing power and resources at an astonishing rate, and its combat power is constantly increasing.

Fortunately, the area is mainly industrial, with few people at night, and the Zhou family had already maintained a high level of vigilance around the entrances, so the casualties were kept to a low level.

However, the chaos was intensifying, and the expressions of the Zhou family members and the detectives grew increasingly grave.

They realized that this ability was far more dangerous than they had imagined, and that if they did not take action soon, the disaster would spread to an irreversible point.

Human beings' dependence on technology is deeply ingrained. The operation of mega-cities, the order of life, and even the survival of civilization are all built on the precise collaboration of mechanical and electronic equipment.

However, this dependence has now become a fatal weakness.

The awakening of the machine spirit not only caused the machinery in this area to go out of control, but also exposed a terrifying truth. If this anti-organic equation were to spread throughout the entire megacity, more than half of the defense systems would be instantly paralyzed, or even turn against them.

Those defensive fortifications meant to protect humanity became tools of slaughter. Automated artillery turrets turned their guns and aimed at innocent civilians.

The energy supply system suddenly shut down, plunging the entire city into darkness and chaos.

Even more terrifying is that if this out-of-control situation spreads to downtown areas, tens of thousands of vehicles will transform into a steel torrent, rampaging through the streets and crushing anything that stands in their way. Elevators, appliances, and even medical equipment in high-rise buildings could become deadly weapons.

At that time, death will no longer be a few isolated numbers, but a vast and devastating tragedy. The streets will be littered with wreckage, the air thick with the stench of blood and acrid smells, and the cries of survivors will mingle with the roar of machinery, creating an apocalyptic scene.

They gazed at the increasingly out-of-control area in the distance, a chill creeping into their hearts. They knew better than anyone that the threat of these machine spirits was far from limited to what was immediately in front of them. If a countermeasure wasn't found quickly, the entire megacity would be plunged into an abyss of no return. Time was ticking away, second by second.

The Zhou family, in particular, concealed the operation in order to win back Zhou Ding, without alerting the authorities.

But this is the outcome.
This filled the Zhou family with immense regret, and they could only work even harder to destroy the machine spirit.

"Damn it, every time I take on a side job with him, I run into this kind of mess!"

The detective's roar echoed in the night wind as he sprinted toward the highway, trying to stop the surging torrent of steel.

However, his figure appeared so small in the face of the massive traffic, as if he could be crushed at any moment.

Just at this critical moment, a clear female voice pierced the night sky, carrying an undeniable power.

"Certainly!"

In an instant, time seemed to freeze. A pale golden light cascaded down like flowing water, enveloping the rampaging vehicles. Above the light, an ancient and majestic character "定" (ding, meaning "still") shone brightly.

The vehicles at the front were instantly frozen in place, while those behind had no time to react and crashed into the car, creating a series of deafening metallic clangs. Sparks flew, thick smoke billowed, and the highway was a scene of utter devastation.

However, this was just the beginning. More vehicles bypassed their frozen companions, continuing their frantic pursuit of the fleeing pedestrians. The girl's voice rang out again, tinged with urgency and exhaustion.

"Certainly!"

"Certainly!"

Golden light screens appeared one after another, attempting to halt the mechanical rampage. But the sheer number of vehicles was overwhelming; the girl's face gradually paled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her strength was being rapidly depleted, while the mechanical frenzy seemed endless.

In the distance, a short-haired girl dressed as a scavenger gritted her teeth and said, "Quick! There are too many!"

The moment she finished speaking, a violent gust of air suddenly surged through the world.

An invisible force, like tentacles descending from the sky, swept up the entire street, the entire highway, and even all the out-of-control machinery. Vehicles, elevators, and dangerous machines were all lifted up, suspended in mid-air, and violently torn apart. The people trapped inside were released back to the ground by the airflow. The remaining machinery was crushed and destroyed in mid-air.

The street fell silent instantly, with only the sound of the wind and people's rapid breathing remaining.

The detective stood frozen in place, looking up at the sky, his eyes filled with shock.

She was a girl dressed in motorcycle gear and wearing a motorcycle helmet. Like a noble emperor, she stood above all living beings, wielding supreme power to directly and precisely rescue the trapped people, and also activated a large number of dangerous mechanical creations.

"That's... Captain Doll?" one of the middlemen exclaimed in surprise. Although he had never seen him before, he had heard of this strongest captain, who was quite active on the official forums.

"Not only her, but also a whole squad of elite night watchmen!"

They saw several powerful figures flash by in the darkness, quickly eliminating the rioting machine spirits.

"The authorities have already discovered this place? That was incredibly fast!" The Zhou family members were overjoyed.

The detective was inwardly surprised. He knew Li Ye had brought help, but he hadn't expected it to be cheese and dolls.

If they're not brothers, aren't you afraid of bloodshed if you put them together?

As a cheese lover, the detective was internally ranting. But he had to admit that the appearance of the elite Night Watchmen and the strongest captain, the Doll, greatly improved the situation.

Meanwhile, more powerful officials were alerted and continued to approach this area.

Within the underground space, the mechanical titan's data torrent surged violently, unsettling it with an unprecedented sense of danger. Its core processor raced, attempting to analyze the source of this eerie threat.

Could it be one of the four people Zhou Ding targeted before? But how could a human with five senses possess such powerful abilities? Or... has humanity developed a causal weapon?

The mechanical titan's vigilance instantly spiked. It was acutely aware of its current weakness—the titan's body was not yet fully formed, only a third the size of its prototype, and lacked sufficient weapon materials, making it practically a blank slate. Although it had completely taken over and modified Zhou Ding's Soul Well, this was far from enough to awaken it quickly.

It couldn't help but sneer inwardly: 'The lackeys of Chaos, they actually chose such a weak host...'

However, now is not the time for complaints. It needs time, resources, and the perfect body of the Annihilation Titan. Then, even if the old Mad King himself were to appear, it would have no fear. But for now, it must proceed with caution, ensuring no threat comes near.

Then, the mechanical titan raised its arm, and a ball of scorching energy condensed in its metal palm.

The next moment, a dazzling spear of light tore through the darkness, shooting towards a collapsing passage. The terrifying heat and explosion instantly destroyed the passage, causing a large-scale collapse of the entire underground area.

No matter what kind of filth it is, just destroy it before it gets close!
This action puzzled Old Master Zhou Yuan, who was on the other side. He struggled to raise his battle sword, charged again, and roared, "Fool, your opponent is me!"

However, in the instant before he finished speaking, he suddenly understood why the mechanical titans were attacking the passage. Because an even more dangerous and powerful aura was emanating from the collapsed passage. It was an invisible pressure, as if a thousand armies were silently charging, their war songs echoing in the void.

Zhou Yuan seemed to hear the sound of the cloak fluttering wildly in the wind, a call that stirred his blood and made him want to join in and fight alongside it!

This familiar feeling reminded him of a scene from decades ago: the white-haired girl, clad in battle armor, wielding a long axe, fiercely slaying the overlord. It was one of the most glorious moments in human history, an indelible legend in the hearts of countless people.

That girl has fallen, but her successors, time and again raising the battle flag, are the most glorious symbol of mankind!
"Hahaha!" Zhou Yuan suddenly burst into hearty laughter, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism. "You're fucking lucky to witness humanity's strongest weapon!"

"Witness the power of the human champion!"

The next moment, a deafening roar came from the collapsed passage.

A figure wielding a halberd broke through the dust like a war god, exuding an unparalleled aura. The Blood God Shield appeared, withstanding the terrifying light spears as it rapidly approached.

Looking at that figure, looking at that wildly fluttering cloak.

[Extremely Dangerous]

[Extremely Dangerous]

Avoid it immediately.

Titan's alarm blared as it recognized the newcomer—a monster it didn't want to encounter right now!

Within the database it was reading, it saw the bravery and power of the one who had come before, seemingly a successor to the Heavenly Plague God!
This enraged Titan, enraged by its appearance and enraged by Purple Feather's conspiracy!
"You lackeys of chaos, you sons of bitches!"

Yes, it believes this is also part of Ziyu's plan; otherwise, why would a champion disguise himself as a Five Senses user? Why would he be here?
Zi Yu, who was watching the spectacle from within the virtual realm, was also taken aback.

"You, a champion, actually took on a side job?"

Of course, she didn't care about Titan's wish; the appearance of appropriate variables actually helped to bring the story to a climax.

Almost instantly, Li Yelai, at top speed, withstood the bombardment of the terrifying light spears.

The Blood God's Sevenfold Shield on his wrist had six of its seven leaves torn to shreds. But it had still allowed him to reach the Titan!

Without any hesitation, Li Yelai unleashed his ultimate move!

The wings of the Kunpeng unfold, and its speed reaches its limit!

With his painted face, Huo Qubing, the hero who sealed the wolf's lair!

Shadow Army - Thunder Strike!

With his painted face, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu!
The Overlord's Double Pupils have appeared, revealing his weaknesses!
In that instant, the two thousand Shadow Soldiers converged into battle spears and thrust them directly at the Mechanical Titan!

The roar of the mechanical titan echoed through the underground space, its computing power surging to its limit in an instant, a torrent of data surging like a tidal wave. Through its vast database, it clearly analyzed the terrifying nature of Li Yelai's attack—a fatal blow that could not be completely defended against or completely avoided! If its core were struck, even it would face annihilation once again.

It is not willing to give in!

Its last death occurred on a distant battlefield in the Heavenly Court. It had lay dormant for far too long, enduring endless loneliness and torment while waiting for this opportunity. Now, it must not be destroyed again! Absolutely not!
In the critical moment, the mechanical titan unhesitatingly activated all its defensive mechanisms. Its metallic body began to rapidly reassemble, its massive form displaying astonishing agility. Its arms quickly transformed into a wondrous shield engraved with ancient patterns, its surface shimmering with complex runes, as if containing some power beyond technology.

[Activate the pseudo-Wall of Sighs]

[Activate Psionic Field Defense]

[Prepare for an attack!]

Two cold, mechanical voices rang out from its core.

The Pseudo-Wall of Sighs is an ultimate shield modeled after the absolute defense of ancient legends. Although it cannot compare with the original, it still possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The psionic field defense is an energy barrier developed by analyzing the abilities of human psionicists, which can offset psionic attacks to a certain extent.

It should have had more means of defense and offense, but it lacks computing power and resources.

If only we could give it a little more time.
The shield and the psionic field deployed simultaneously, forming an impenetrable double defense.

However, Li Yelai's offensive did not weaken as a result.

His halberd carried the force of wind and thunder, and the power of two thousand Shadow Soldiers converged at one point. The Overlord's Double Pupil locked onto the mechanical Titan's weak point, the Black Line.

A deafening collision! (End of Chapter)
