Chapter 293: Rampage and Crushing Battle
Chapter 293: Rampage and Crushing Battle
The vast abyss began to tremble, and whether it was the Divine Shadow Emperor, the Insect Overlord, the Demon Mechanic Emperor, or the Three Demons of the Spirit Realm, all noticed Qin Mu Ye's movements.
Although it was just a slight action, as major forces, they naturally paid attention to such a 7th Rank existence. They not only watched Qin Mu Ye but also kept an eye on each other.
In the next instant, the abyss disappeared.
Everyone couldn't help but be startled, and soon after, the abyss reappeared, but this time it was not on the sea surface; instead, it was suspended in the sky, facing the Demon Mechanic Emperor's Heaven Beyond Heaven.
The moment this was detected, the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven immediately entered a state of alert, with numerous defenses activated, followed by a barrage of firepower.
Plasma cannons, electromagnetic cannons, cruise missiles, and more bloomed like flowers, heading towards Qin Mu Ye's abyss.
Anyone with a functioning brain knew that Qin Mu Ye's intentions were far from friendly; he had no intention of just floating up to share the sky with the Demon Mechanic Emperor. Instead, he only wanted to destroy him.
Thus, the Demon Mechanic Emperor did not hesitate to open fire.
Watching the instant bombardment hit the outer layer of the alien lock defenses, causing ripples, Qin Mu Ye narrowed his eyes.
Beside him, the three-headed, hundred-armed giant had been waiting for a long time.
"Activate the spatial isolation, information interference, electromagnetic disruption, and all other functions to prevent the prey from escaping this time," Qin Mu Ye said calmly, watching the firepower bloom outside.
Qin Mu Ye wasn't afraid of the firepower, but he had to prevent the Demon Mechanic Emperor, an intelligent mechanical AI, from transferring its program to another server or transforming into another life form. Therefore, he needed to be cautious.
Invisible ripples accompanied by piercing, sharp noises spread out, forming a vast empty space.
The Divine Shadow Emperor, the Insect Overlord, and the Three Demons of the Spirit Realm, who were secretly observing, were momentarily stunned. They could no longer observe the internal situation, only seeing twisted patterns.
"Why would the Lord of the Demon Land attack the Demon Mechanic Emperor?" This question lingered in the minds of these 7th Rank existences.
They knew there was no conflict between the two, so such a sudden attack was inexplicable.
If it were an attack on the Spirit Realm, no one would be puzzled, as the Three Demons of the Spirit Realm had been blocking the entrance to the other side. However, an attack on the Heaven Beyond Heaven was indeed peculiar.
No one intervened, as they all felt a heart-stirring power within.
"Master, the hundred-armed giant is ready to act at any time," Black Hand said.
"Then act," Qin Mu Ye said coldly.
"Yes, inform the hundred-armed giant that they can act now," Black Hand conveyed Qin Mu Ye's order through the Demon Network.
The order was quickly relayed, and the three-headed, hundred-armed giant's faces twisted with ferocity, making its already grotesque appearance even more terrifying.
Before the sprites could react, they found that all the giant iron balls had been thrown.
The speed was so fast that it left the sprites speechless.
Not only did the sprites fail to react, but even the Demon Mechanic Emperor did not react in time.
The protective shield was shattered, causing massive explosions. The remaining iron balls then charged directly into the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
This was a city of pure steel, constructed from various mechanical components.
The iron balls landed with incomparable force, creating craters like meteor impacts, causing massive voids and violent shocks.
The entire Heaven Beyond Heaven shook, and some parts even began to crack.
The loud noise naturally made the 7th Rank existences investigating from outside realize that a battle had begun, and it was a significant one.
"Lord of the Demon Land, why have you come to my Heaven Beyond Heaven unprovoked?" the Demon Mechanic Emperor cowered.
However, Qin Mu Ye did not respond. Once the fight started, there was no time for chatter; he intended to kill the Demon Mechanic Emperor outright.
"Prepare the armor, and attack once we get close," White Dove said with a grave tone, as the sprites activated their Magus-grade mechs, ready for battle.
By "prepare the armor," he meant to activate the mechs, not to wear armor.
Hercules was also fully armed, driving a bronze chariot pulled by a group of strong horses, led by the divine horse Arion, ready to charge at any moment.
Hecate no longer appeared in her usual form but revealed her true aspect as the Triple Goddess.
The three bodies stood back-to-back, holding various divine artifacts such as torches and ropes. With her help, a path was formed between the abyss and the Heaven Beyond Heaven, ensuring that no matter how the Demon Mechanic Emperor tried to escape, a road would lead to his hiding place.
Hecate, the goddess of roads, witchcraft, and magic, the queen of ghosts, and the goddess of the underworld, is also the Triple Goddess. In her true form, even Hercules was overshadowed, a testament to her formidable power and exalted status.
The moment the two vast floating lands connected, Hercules charged forward in his bronze chariot, his terrifying divine power shaking the entire steel city. By the time the sprites reacted, Hercules had already breached the defenses of the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Under this powerful assault, the already damaged Heaven Beyond Heaven began to crack. Qin Mu Ye watched this scene with a tingling scalp, realizing that just one Hercules was enough to penetrate the defenses of the Demon Mechanic Emperor.
This was a demonstration of sheer power. No wonder Cerberus dared not show its teeth to Hercules; the latter had once severely beaten and captured Cerberus, bringing it to the human world. The grudge was deep, yet this time, Cerberus remained obedient.
Hecate found this scene somewhat strange. Wasn't this supposed to be a formidable enemy? How could they be so weak?
But the hundred-armed giant paid no mind to these thoughts. His massive body stepped onto the road leading to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, unleashing a barrage of weapons that were no less destructive than Hercules's attacks.
The hundred-armed giant had a good relationship with Qin Mu Ye, who provided them with ample food and even equipment. His father, Uranus, had never treated them as well. Thus, his attacks were merciless, reducing the nearby intelligent machines to powder. Finding even a single intact device would be a sign of leniency.
In the face of an 8th Rank power, the 7th Rank Demon Mechanic Emperor was as weak as clay, offering no resistance.
Though Hecate was somewhat puzzled, she had agreed to Qin Mu Ye's request. With a wave of her hand, she led her demonic servants, such as Empusa and Lamia, toward the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Seeing this, White Dove, Tiegu, and the others had no choice but to follow.
"This is a bit different from what I imagined."
Qin Mu Ye had thought he would beat the Demon Mechanic Emperor like a dog, but he never expected such a lack of resistance. The entire Heaven Beyond Heaven was already in ruins before they even saw the Demon Mechanic Emperor.
If not for Qin Mu Ye's spatial isolation, which kept the Heaven Beyond Heaven in place, it would have already fallen.
"It seems I underestimated the power of this rank."
With his identity as Dionysus, the son of Hades, he had always been treated as a junior by the strong beings he encountered, so he had never seen them in battle. The only time was when the second-generation divine king and queen, along with the sea god and goddess, fought the weak Satan, and even then, they didn't use their full strength.
Hercules had charged in recklessly, shattering the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and Qin Mu Ye wasn't sure if he had used his full power.
"Lord of the Demon Land, please stop, I surrender, I surrender to you." The Demon Mechanic Emperor began to beg for mercy.
The entire Heaven Beyond Heaven was him, but the Titan gods were too powerful. By the time he tried to surrender, he was already on his last breath. If he had been a different life form, like the Divine Shadow Emperor or the Insect Overlord, he would have been killed by Hercules's bronze chariot.
It was worth noting that the divine horse Arion, his mount, was also a 7th Rank power.
"I don't want him to hold back; I want his life." Qin Mu Ye instructed Hercules and the others, fearing they might show mercy.
Realizing that Qin Mu Ye was not going to stop and intended to take his life, the Demon Mechanic Emperor could only fight for his survival.
"It's you who forced me, it's you who forced me!!! Request to activate the Rectification Protocol!!!"
The mechanical voice carried a strange note of desperation, as if a stone were afraid of death.
Well, the Demon Mechanic Emperor was an intelligent AI.
But Qin Mu Ye was surprised that the Demon Mechanic Emperor still had a trump card, something he had not anticipated.
