Chapter 1475: Cataclysm (Part 1)
The first event: Gryla-13 suddenly experienced a violent tremor!
The intensity of the tremor was so severe that it even caused the planet to deviate from its original orbit!
However, the deviation wasn't significant, only a few dozen meters.
But even a few dozen meters is still a deviation!
"???" The two Planetary Ais burst into a brilliant radiance. These radiance pulses quickly and continuously, indicating that their alert levels have reached the highest point.
"What's happening?" The two Automatons turned their heads to look at Gryla-13 simultaneously.
At the same time, Leah, the female, also directed her gaze toward the homeworld.
From Leah's perspective, the homeworld seemed to have experienced a slight tremor, followed by a significant dimming in overall brightness.
Gryla-13 was originally very bright, especially in the northern hemisphere, which was the Automaton's territory. In an instant, the planet's brightness decreased by about a third.
What could have happened?
The two Planetary Ais quickly exchanged signals:
"What's happening?"
"It seems... let me contact the surface... Oh no! The teleportation gates are closed!"
"Which teleportation gates?"
"All teleportation gates."
"All teleportation gates? Are you sure they're all closed?!"
"Wait, I'm receiving information from the surface... Yes, all teleportation gates are closed."
"How is that possible?! ...Wait, could it be Lea Manche, the female, behind this?"
"Her? A single Protein Bug doesn't have that kind of power. It's more likely that something significant has happened in the entire Triangulum System... I'll stay and watch over Leah, the female. You quickly return to the planet to investigate!"
"Alright."
After discussing, the third-tier stellar mech decided to stay and guard Leah, while the first-tier stellar mech rapidly returned to Gryla-13.
All spatial gates being closed is a massive issue, one that even takes precedence over subduing Lea Manche, the female!
Gryla-13 is essentially a transit planet, with thousands of spatial gates in the northern hemisphere connecting to other colonies.
If the Triangulum System were a country on Earth, Gryla-13 would be a major railway hub city.
Suddenly, all the trains in the station came to a halt, and the reason for the halt is unknown. The mayor of the city would be anxious, to say the least.
It was precisely because the spatial gate closed that the entire Gryla-13 lost the structural force supporting its passageways, causing a massive quake. The planet's orbit even shifted outward by a few meters.
……
This was the first major event on the planet's surface.
The second major event was that, with the help of AI Blue Whale, Su Yu successfully took control of all the Automaton armies in Crystal Grid City.
In the sky above Crystal Grid City, hundreds of thousands of Automatons converged from all directions, pressing down on the 200 carbon-based beings.
Faced with the overwhelming numbers of Automatons, the carbon-based beings felt utterly hopeless.
Leah, the Female leader, was most likely no match for the two Planetary Ais. As for them, were they supposed to accept their fate and let the Automatons implant chips, or should they struggle, even if it was futile?
Just as they were on the verge of breaking, the situation suddenly changed. The surrounding Automatons stopped moving.
All the Automatons lost their ability to act simultaneously, becoming nothing more than floating chunks of scrap metal in the sky.
Then, the "scrap metal" behind them, to the south, began to activate. These "scrap metal" units spread out, forming a circular passage about thirty to forty meters in diameter.
At the same time, an Automaton by the side of the passage spoke in an electronic voice: "You can leave now. We are letting you return to the Southern Continent."
"???" Hearing the Automaton's words, the carbon-based beings were all taken aback. What was going on here?
Just moments ago, the Automatons had been closing in, and it seemed like the final straw was about to break their backs. Now, the Automatons had made a 180-degree turn?
The carbon-based beings looked at each other, quickly using Psychic Energy to discuss among themselves:
"What's wrong with these Automatons?"
"I don't know. Are they playing with us?"
"It feels like the Automatons have crashed. Why aren't they moving?"
"I think they have crashed too, but let's not jump to conclusions. What if it's a trap?"
……
Magrathon, the Male who served as the backbone for all the carbon-based beings, stepped forward at this moment.
Faced with the sudden and bizarre change in the Automatons' behavior, he shouted, "What are you up to? Are you really letting us go?"
However, the Automatons did not respond.
Soon, all the Automatons in the city fell into a state of inactivity. The once bustling city became eerily silent, like a vast, desolate wilderness.
Moreover, the Automaton that had spoken and those on either side of the passage also shut down.
In that moment, it seemed as if all the Automatons in the city had died simultaneously, turning the city into a dead town.
And at the same time, Gryla-13 erupted in a violent tremor! (End of Chapter)
