In the underground cavern, the surrounding atmosphere was tense and murderous.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, that icy voice once again echoed through the empty environnt.
"The Silver Fantasy series of units use Dead Star Crystals. The difficulty of mining this material is extrely high. The crystal reserves within our Hive are already scarce to begin with, and most have already been used in the construction of high-strength units. We cannot et the conditions you have proposed."
Hearing that voice, Lynn adjusted his mask and spoke unhurriedly:
"Simple. Just dismantle the units you've already built, and you'll have them, won't you? Do I really need to teach you sothing like this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Plague Doctors watching this scene all couldn't help but reveal scornful, mocking smiles. An indescribable sense of satisfaction spread through their hearts.
They could completely imagine exactly what kind of disgusted expressions the consciousnesses of the chanical Cult must be wearing at this very mont.
This was truly giving them no face at all!
For thousands, hundreds of years, they had been suppressed by the Flesh and Blood Cult. Never did they expect that today they would witness such a scene where the chanical Cult was being forced to swallow their pride. Just thinking about it made them feel physically and ntally delighted.
"Exactly! Dismantle them, and you'll have the materials!"
"Those words really hit the spot for , hahahaha!"
"I truly never expected that these cold, unfeeling machines would one day be suppressed like this. This trip was really worth it!"
They were feeling extrely pleased.
Watching that young man act arrogantly in front of the chanical Cult felt as if they themselves were the ones acting arrogantly.
"Do not push us too far," that icy voice ca again, the indescribable murderous intent within it chilling people's hearts.
"You should understand what offending us ans. You are walking a dangerous path. I advise you not to be so ungrateful..."
But just as that voice hadn't even finished speaking.
"Ah~♡——!!"
A sudden, completely unexpected cry abruptly cut off its words.
Within the violently flickering crimson halo, the "♡" in Silver Fantasy's vacant eyes trembled intensely. Clearly, just monts ago, she had once again suffered a strike from Lynn in M-mode.
Seeing this scene, the tone of that voice imdiately changed.
Lynn slowly gripped Silver Fantasy's shoulders, allowing her body to tremble and convulse violently, and said softly:
"Gentlen, you need to watch your tone and choice of words. Now is not the ti to threaten . You should have seen it too, right? Miss Intelligence Machine's sanity can't hold on for much longer."
"So I must remind you, the ti left for you is not much."
"Next, let's play a ga. Every minute, I will apply pressure to this beautiful young lady once. Before this young lady breaks, I sincerely hope you can prepare all the materials..."
"My patience also has its limits."
Lynn still maintained that gentle tone, but the words he spoke were so evil they were hard to look at directly.
Like a rose covered in thorns.
"You devil!"
That icy voice now carried imnse killing intent.
But they knew he was absolutely capable of doing it, because chaotic-aligned flesh and blood creatures like him were all complete and utter madn.
Lynn said softly, "No more nonsense. Now, the countdown begins. I wish you a pleasant ti."
After saying that, Lynn stopped replying, smiling as he stood there, thoughtfully conducting a sixty-second countdown for them.
And the pressure imdiately shifted to the side of the chanical Cult.
...
Inside the Hive.
Around the massive data stream representing the Purity Council, countless chanical consciousnesses had already densely gathered.
All the consciousnesses were filled with towering rage. Their hatred for Lynn in the footage had already reached an uncontrollable level.
"What do we do?! Do we really have to satisfy the conditions proposed by that flesh and blood creature?!"
"No! We absolutely cannot agree! Since the founding of the chanical Cult, we have never yielded to a flesh and blood creature. This precedent absolutely must not be set!"
"But if that's the case, what about Miss Intelligence Machine?! With that guy's personality, he definitely won't let Miss Intelligence Machine go!"
"We request permission to engage!!"
All the consciousnesses trembled as they looked towards their highest council.
Right now, as long as the Purity Council agreed.
They, these uploaded consciousnesses, would imdiately and without hesitation charge into the battlefield to slay that demon!
The data stream representing the Purity Council remained as cold as ever.
And at this mont, on the surface of the Cursed City, the chanical swarm assaulting the Colossus's Tower had long since quietly undergone adjustnts.
While they were in this standoff.
One heavy-duty space jump device after another had already been activated in various districts of the Cursed City.
A large number of the chanical Cult's elite units were already assembled and ready. It could be said that as soon as the Hive's command was issued, they could imdiately descend into that underground cavern via the fold-jump devices to launch a surprise attack on that flesh and blood creature.
But the Purity Council still did not act.
Because they were simultaneously monitoring the movents on the side of the Flesh and Blood Cult.
In the three-dinsional holographic image of the underground displayed on the massive monitoring screen, who knows when, the countless flesh and blood root veins belonging to the Desire Mother Tree, interwoven throughout the underground, had actually subtly surrounded that cavern.
Like poisonous snakes hidden in the darkness.
Just waiting for their prey to make a move.
20!
19!
18!
Lynn was still smiling, unhurriedly counting down.
And the chanical consciousnesses inside the Hive were growing more and more anxious, more and more restless.
"Ti is almost up! He's about to act against Miss Intelligence Machine! If we don't make a decision soon, it will be too late for everything!"
The data stream representing the Purity Council stared coldly at Lynn on the screen.
Clearly, at this mont.
They were also engaged in extrely intense internal discussions.
If they launched a forced attack, the Desire Mother Tree would inevitably intervene. In a normal battle situation, or if it were any other captured consciousness, they would have launched a fierce attack without hesitation.
But this ti, the one captured was their Chief Executive Officer, was their Sovereign's...
"Give it to him."
At that mont, without any warning, a completely emotionless voice abruptly rang out within the vast Hive.
Hearing those two words, not only the data stream representing the Purity Council, but all the chanical consciousnesses throughout the entire Hive trembled violently at that mont.
They turned in shock, looking towards the huge light screen that had appeared in the virtual space.
Faintly.
It seed as if the whispers ford by the shing of countless gears and the roar of machinery echoed within that enormous light screen.
"Agree to his demands."
Amidst the chanical shing whispers, that empty, distant voice sounded once more.
Like a deity...
...
Ti passed swiftly.
Soon.
Lynn's countdown had also reached its final monts.
3.
2.
1.
Almost the instant Lynn finished smilingly counting down the last number, that icy voice from the Purity Council finally rang out again.
"We agree, but we need ti. Whether it's dismantling the units or preparing the Dead Star Crystals, we need at least ten more minutes."
Lynn smiled and said, "No. Five minutes. That is the final deadline I give you."
"I hope you will honor your promise when the ti cos."
After that, the icy voice did not appear again. Clearly, the chanical Cult side had already made a huge compromise and concession.
And only at this mont did Lynn beneath the mask let out a slight sigh of relief.
Others only saw his calm and composed appearance, but only he himself knew just how much pressure he had endured during those sixty seconds.
It could be said.
At this mont, his entire body was soaked in cold sweat.
Because if the chanical Cult truly refused to compromise and launched a fierce attack, he wasn't even sure in his own heart if he could activate Happy Ho's teleportation in ti.
It could be said.
This was absolutely a high-stakes gamble, dancing on the edge of a blade.
But fortunately, he had won the bet.
The status of this captured Miss Intelligence Machine within their chanical Cult was indeed far from as simple as he had imagined.
Zuo Zuo said tremulously, "Brain, what do we do now?"
Lynn narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait. In five minutes, we'll see the result."
