Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 341: Chapter 343: Heaven is Three Feet High

One by one, the Terminators abruptly stopped in their tracks, their bodies erupting with flashes of lightning before they instantly collapsed and turned into liquid metal.

The Funeral Bell Weapon System was officially deployed on the battlefield, and just as it was turned on, all Terminators, whether level 7 or level 8, could not escape the fate of being rendered immobile due to the destruction of their magnetic field.

The destruction was not limited to the magnetic field rotation system of the Terminators themselves but also extended to all their hardware and signal systems.

Previously, these Terminators were under the unified control of SkyNet, with extremely powerful capabilities in computation, logic, and other aspects. However, once they were covered by the Funeral Bell Weapon System, their signals were distorted by magnetic fields, turning what was once the internet into a mere LAN.

With SkyNet's main program unable to take control, the SkyNet subprograms residing in the Spark Source naturally resulted in a significant reduction of the Terminators' power.

And that was only part of it. The real issue was with the hardware. The Terminators were composed of liquid metal complemented by magnetic field rotation, forming an exceptionally strong force. But now, with the magnetic field rotation destroyed, each droplet of liquid metal lost control from the main system and couldn't coalesce.

Therefore, the Terminators were ruined.

The Funeral Bell Weapon System continued to expand and spread, and SkyNet naturally detected the trouble immediately and began to evacuate the Terminators.

Although this system was specifically targeting Terminators, that didn't mean it could eliminate all Terminators in an instant. It was akin to an aura-based weapon that needed time to deploy, and while SkyNet, which controlled all Terminators, might have been caught off guard at first, it was not indicative of a lack of ability to retreat.

However, the spreading speed of the Funeral Bell Weapon System far exceeded SkyNet's expectations. A large number of Terminators were disassembled and then recycled back into the Endless Abyss through the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel.

What followed was, of course, the recycling process. These Terminators were high-quality materials.

All it took was to send them back into the furnace to completely destroy all the internal chips, CPUs, etc., and ultimately produce pure liquid metal, which could then be used as a material.

SkyNet was very powerful, but even so, it couldn't control a chunk of metal devoid of any circuits or programs.

It's like a computer; a hacker can invade a computer but can't hack a chunk of iron melted from it.

If SkyNet truly defied logic like that, then the Terminators wouldn't have been overcome by Qin Muye.

Qin Muye pulled the rug out from under them with his move, and unless SkyNet removed the magnetic field rotation system from the Terminators, it could significantly reduce the impact of the Funeral Bell Weapon System.

But if it were removed, the strength of the Terminators would definitely plummet, being lucky to retain level 4 capabilities, and that's only if the materials were of high quality.

So, it was basically impossible to do that, but precisely because of this, Qin Muye's strike was fatal.

"The Terminators are strong, but when compared to my master, the gap is just too wide," the pigeon said with disdain as it watched the large number of disassembled Terminators.

As a member of the city defense, it naturally witnessed the transformation of the Terminators from collapsed to liquid metal.

"It's the Terminators' flaws that are too great. If it weren't for the magnetic field rotation systems they still use, they wouldn't have been defeated so swiftly," the plague knew. It wasn't that the Terminators were weak; these were level 7, and without their Stone Statue Ghost Armor, even they wouldn't stand a chance.

On the contrary, it was because SkyNet was too eager for success that Qin Muye was able to seize the weakness.

If SkyNet were given another ten years or so, it would have overcome this flaw. Of course, that's if it didn't encounter Qin Muye; otherwise, even if SkyNet perfected it, new weaknesses would be found.

Even the Spirit Monsters had weaknesses, but with Qin Muye's step-by-step modifications, their weaknesses were gradually reduced until they disappeared. They were even enhanced through Magic Network, private servers, Alien Bloodline, and various other powerful transformations, turning their original weaknesses into strengths.

"It looks like there won't be much of a problem this time, but the world is so vast, it's hard to know when the cleanup will end," Pigeon said. Despite its disdain, it wasn't underestimating the situation, since its contempt was based on the courage Qin Muye gave it, not its own strength.

"This is likely to take years. We're dealing with level 7 servers, and even if it's just one timeline, it's been fully replicated. But anyway, it's all resources," the plague was also prepared for a protracted battle.

Several years for them had indeed been quite a long time.

"It's just that I'm not sure if the master can improve the Stone Statue Ghost Armor once again, especially since this Terminator doesn't look like an ordinary thing at all," the pigeon said, touching its armor.

There certainly are scientific research departments in the Endless Abyss, yet their efficiency is really too low. It's not that they are without scientific achievements, but the outcomes Qin Muye can achieve in a single day are equivalent to what these departments could manage in three to five years.

Take the Funeral Bell Weapon System, for example. If it were left up to the research department, it would take at least three to five years to develop. By that time, who knows how many generations of Terminators would have been updated.

So the Spirit Monsters didn't really have much expectation for the research departments. Moreover, these departments rarely engaged in military research and development, focusing more on areas like industry, commerce, and munitions that Qin Muye did not have time to explore.

This way, the research areas did not overlap, avoiding redundancy in their scientific departments. Compared to Qin Muye, the research department might seem inadequate, but if compared to the standard departments of other powers, these Spirit Monsters would be considered geniuses.

It might also be because the fields that Qin Muye explored were too advanced, rendering the research department Spirit Monsters unable to get involved.

"The master should be busy recently, researching profession promotion. If things go smoothly, maybe this time we can all be upgraded from Rare Level professions to Epic," Plague said.

Pigeon was somewhat surprised, "Where did you get that information?"

"Just asked Black Hand. With the Pure Netherworld Water and the Elf Queen's Reclassification Certificate we got earlier, the odds shouldn't be small," Plague said casually.

While the two chatted casually, they noticed all the Terminators around seemed to have completely withdrawn.

However, they didn't take it to heart. Did they really think the Funeral Bell Weapon System was just a force field? It also had a corresponding tracking system.

"They're gone, huh? It's good that they left. I hope Heavenly Net won't regret it," Plague remarked with a cold laugh before notifying through the Magic Network: 'The Terminators have withdrawn. All units prepare for resource extraction.'

The Terminators could leave, and they would pursue, but first they had to squash the idea that Heavenly Net could harass them by hit-and-run.

'Received, comprehensive scavenging devices are fully activated.'

After receiving feedback from the Magic Network, everything that the Endless Abyss passed over, be it minerals or water sources, was extracted by an invisible force, even compressing and taking away the soil without exception.

Huge voids stretched directly to the Earth's core. Everything was packed up and taken away. If it were not for the high cost of extracting Earth Core Magma, they would have left nothing, not even the magma.

The saying that oil can be squeezed out of stones is outdated—they were taking even the stones.

Even a single blade of grass was useful, let alone stones.

The constant harassment from the Terminators had previously made them hesitant to start, but now that Heavenly Net had given them the opportunity, Black Hand and the other Spirit Monsters naturally seized it.

When the resources were gone, they would see how Heavenly Net could oppose them. The only outcome would be to obediently transform into a Golden Treasure Chest.

If the enemy could undermine them from the foundations, so could Qin Muye, and he would do it even more ruthlessly, digging up the entire world. Then, Heavenly Net would be left helpless against him.

Unless something like the Mechanical Deity incident happened again, which left Qin Muye helpless, Heavenly Net would eventually only be able to watch Qin Muye, even if it had such a virtual world as the matrix. Perhaps eventually the matrix itself would end up in Qin Muye's hands.

"Ha, I didn't expect another upgrade iteration. It seems the Lamp God died a worthy death." Pigeon laughed as it watched the scene, as extracting resources was partly credited to the Lamp God's Prayer Technique. Although the Lamp God was gone, the Prayer Technique remained.

The Spirit Monsters had no fondness for such two-faced entities like the Lamp God—after all, the Lamp God was loyal to whoever possessed the Divine Lamp, and they naturally disliked it.

"Indeed, otherwise who knows when it might betray us?" Plague agreed with Pigeon. In their territory, you could lack ability, but not loyalty. Lack of ability could be cultivated, but lack of loyalty meant only one thing: sending them on their way.
