Netherworld Retrograde

Or is it that you cannot face both the Mechanical Soul rebellion and the Vehicle Killer?

Li Ye pondered in his heart, and at this moment, the voice of the Little Mad King came from not far away: "Too aggressive. Teammate, is there no reaction from the Mechanical Soul?"

This enemy-search operation is a collaborative action between Li Ye and the Little Mad King.

As it is an operation behind enemy lines, having too many people might actually slow them down.

The highly mobile Li Ye, along with the equally mobile and highly capable assassin Little Mad King, are most suitable.

And the Doll… tends to scare the enemy away.

"Hmm, the Beastman's ability should have suppressed the Mechanical Soul's rebellion, allowing them to continue fighting. Therefore, I used the Vehicle Killer. Mechanical Soul rebellion, Vehicle Killer. There's always one that suits them." Li Ye glanced at the chaotic battlefield: "However, this effect is indeed amazing!"

"It's a pity about this Titan…." The Little Mad King's figure appeared on top of an overturned Beastman tank. With a stomp of long legs, a surviving large Beastman head was crushed and kicked into the fire: "If we brought the Titan back with us, our strength would be even greater."

"The Beastman's technology is still not very stable, such explosive things are unsafe within our lines. Once it explodes, even the Overlord would be hurt." Li Ye replied: "However, our main objective has been completed."

The two looked toward the valley not far away.

There, several Casting Mechas were currently carrying a sizable metal box. While lifting the box with their mechanical arms, they also picked up various types of weapons to kill any Beastman blocking their path.

In fact, most of the nearby Beastmen were already shocked to death, and there were only a few capable of movement, making futile attempts against the fire spray of the Casting Mechas.

Behind Li Ye, golden wings flapped, and within seconds he arrived before them.

As Li Ye approached, the box emitted an electronic sound: [Salute to you, Human Champion.]

This is the body of the Casting General, not yet unfolded.

The operation of Li Ye and the Little Mad King was to find this guy!

Using the Mechanical God Core to destroy the Casting General's original AI and inject its Mechanical Soul with the ultimate command of 'all for humanity'.

It can be said that when Li Ye activated the Mechanical God Core, this so-called Leader-level Horror Demon was already dead. Now controlling its body is its revived Mechanical Soul.

Although Li Ye is unclear about the specific differences between AI and Mechanical Souls, the current Casting General can be considered as coming back to life.

"Is it confirmed dead?" Li Ye asked as he approached.

[Its Thought Furnace has been burned, eroding its data stream. Confirmed dead.] The box responded: [But in order to kill it, the Thought Furnace was destroyed, and 'I' lost some technical knowledge. Moreover, 'I' compared to it, have lower computational power.]

In the box is a Mechanical Soul, a rare product that appeared as the Void Power influenced the Physical World. It is resistant to Chaos corruption.

And the original Casting General was a Smart AI, more effective, and with greater computational power. However, it was vulnerable to corruption by Chaos or other forces.

The reduction in computational power has somewhat affected the box's production capacity, and the lack of technical knowledge. Humans will have to feed it technology themselves.

Perhaps Li Ye will have to use the power of the Deceit Chosen One to fish some knowledge out of the Void Realm. The risk is that one might easily fish out forbidden knowledge and attract the attention of deceit.

Although it's unfortunate, it's also sufficient.

After discussions with the Mountain City Lord, Liu Bo, and the Mountain Guardian, it was determined that the 'Immortal' plan must rely on the power of the Casting General.

For the overall situation of humans and Horror Demons, it is a zero-sum game.

"We'll discuss the rest later, let's move first." Li Ye single-handedly lifted the box, placed it and several Casting Mechas into the Reserve Space.

Since Ma No. 7, Mad Dragon had been completely scrapped, Li Ye's Reserve Space had a lot more space.

Even squeezing in a Beastman Titan might be possible.

Subsequently, Li Ye and the Little Mad King quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

This location is in enemy territory, with a large number of Beastman legions approaching. It's not good to get bogged down.

...

Half an hour later, Li Ye and the Little Mad King broke through the encirclement and successfully returned to the east front line with the support of numerous Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.

They released the box in the factory area of the East Three Shelter.

[Champion, was it teleportation?] The box asked.

Li Ye shook his head slightly, seemingly the Mechanical Soul became dormant once inside the Reserve Space, unaware of its spatial location.

Meanwhile, the City Lord of Mountain City along with Liu Bo and Zhen Shan quickly stepped forward to inquire about intelligence on the Horror Demon from the box.

The news was not good; the Horror Demon side had at least four Supreme Level powers.

The Swallowing Ancient Tree was at a high level but had no direct combat power, and wasn't considered Supreme Level.

Even the box did not understand the identity of the first seat Horror Demon, only knew there was a first seat.

While only two of them cooperated with others, if humans launched a full assault, the other two might also act.

"Can the Mad King's Imitation Body take on four, or even more Supremes?" asked the Mountain Guardian.

"One against four, or even five, of the same level?" Liu Bo shook his head: "Even for the King, it could be troublesome."

"The Biomimetic Tear Drop can lock the enemy in battle without worrying about being overwhelmed," Li Ye said.

"We have the Coordinated Vein Array, in defense, it can gather a massive amount of Spiritual Energy into one, allowing the Overlord to erupt with Supreme strength. Perhaps it can lure the Horror Demon to battle, reducing the pressure on the Biomimetic Tear Drop," Zhen Shan said: "Also, on the first layer, there is a Class A Forbidden Item, the Qi Fortune Dragon."

"Whether it's the Qi Fortune Dragon or the Coordinated Vein Array, it's defensive power. Moreover, the cost of the Qi Fortune Dragon…." The Mountain City Lord sighed deeply. If the first layer was still holding, the relatives of each overlord were likely already heavily drained.

"As long as we can win, any method is permissible." Liu Bo said, taking out a data file and handing it to the box: "Let's still call you the Casting General. Can you forge this equipment? Massively, as much as possible!"

The Casting General's metallic surface opened a hole, and a mechanical arm extended to collect the data file. A few seconds later, it emitted an electronic sound: [Yes, I can forge this equipment for you.]

[But I must caution, this equipment places great burdens on the wearer's body, possibly even killing the wearer during battle. The safety factor is almost zero.]

[Although it is armor, it is more like an oven.]

[Unless the wearer is a Spiritual Ability User, and must be above Third Awakening. Otherwise, they will be burned to death by out-of-control high temperatures.]

[For those above the Third Awakening, this equipment provides no significant boost.]

[I suggest modifying its parameters, lowering power, and increasing safety.]

"I understand," Liu Bo said softly: "It's designed to ignore any physical burden and maximize power. The materials you need, we will supply them. Production needs to be fast!"

[Understood, all for humanity] the Casting General responded: [Please provide me with a spacious area, and I will begin forging now.]

Li Ye and the others immediately retreated, as the Casting General began its expansion.

The metal box trembled, its folding space unfurled. Instantly transforming into a massive armaments factory.

A large amount of resources was sent into the factory, more Casting Mechas were being created, and new production lines emerged.

"Is this your plan?" the Mountain City Lord asked.

"Yes, it is nearly impossible for our factory to create such equipment, lacking the production capacity and research time. Only the Casting General can help us." Liu Bo stated: "At this point, we've even allied with a Chaos Chosen One—there are no limits!"

Li Ye, as the allied Chosen One, reminded: "I still prefer you to call me Champion."

...

Meanwhile, within the first layer of space.

A certain strange power is being shaped.
