Chapter 1030 - 892: The Will That Should Have Escaped
Looking at the space in front that had already closed again and the Mist behind that had vanished, Kreya just stood there quietly watching.
"Are we just going to let him escape like this?"
Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane smiled faintly.
At this moment, Longbei shouted, "Was that the mechanical head from the sealed space? When did it attach to my hammer? I was completely unaware of it; there was no sense of it at all."
Kane’s eyes flashed with a golden light, and he shook his head helplessly, "As expected, a being that has lingered at the pinnacle of color for so long, drifting amongst the stars for such a time, never lacks means of escape."
Now, Kane could no longer see the light point that had fled through the Divine Gaze. All he could see was the mechanical head in the sealed space, which could be completely shut down, locked within the space.
He could even see inside the mechanical head, the mechanical soul that had completely submerged.
But upon closer inspection, it was evident that the soul’s ultimate core, the most essential part, had vanished.
"I was just pondering how he would escape from within the space. I didn’t expect it to be this way. How did he compute it?"
Hearing Kane’s incomprehensible words, Longbei and Lilu’s brows furrowed.
"Isn’t that just a riddle?"
Lilu directly appeared on Kane’s shoulder, tugging at his ears with both hands.
"Speak clearly, Lilu doesn’t understand what you’re saying at all."
At this point, Kane began to explain in detail.
"We all clearly know that he wanted to escape, right? He would absolutely try every means to get out, but we didn’t know when or how he would escape."
"In the last moments, he must have utilized all his computational capacity to find the choice with the highest possibility and directly implemented it."
"He stripped the most core part of his soul, like the Intelligent Core, and attached it to Longbei’s weapon."
"He severed all ties with the past. He must have discovered that we could monitor him remotely through connections, so he even abandoned most of his memories and knowledge, keeping only the most essential things."
At this point, Kane shook his head with some admiration.
Because, for those of us with emotional flesh and blood, it’s impossible to make such a decision. It’s like dying with no difference.
But perhaps for this mechanical intellect, it still counts as being alive.
One can only say this mechanical intelligence brought him a downside, but also a very good side.
"Such concealment, in such a weakened state, won’t last long, probably just about a year or two."
"If we stayed in the sealed space for one or two years, it would completely die, leaving no trace in the world."
"Unaware of our exact situation, he might have calculated that it’s impossible for us to stay in the sealed space for two years, thus putting such a plan into action."
In such a state, it’s like the most fundamental thing in the world; once hidden, along with the severed ties.
Even if Kane plucked out his Eye of the Gods and scanned every inch of the ground, he might not detect its problem.
Or there’s another scenario to discover the enemy’s trace and thoughts: to directly begin dismantling his head in the sealed space, inch by inch, until his soul is unearthed deep down.
Only under such circumstances can his traces be found through his soul.
But such time consumption might take even more than two years.
Kane sighed, but there was a sense of relief.
Upon soul-searching himself, he found it hard to claim he didn’t condone the God of All Machines’ escape.
That the enemy managed to escape was partly due to his indulgence.
Because this way, he wouldn’t have to be as vigilant as before when probing the God of Machines’ knowledge against its escape.
When dismantling and harvesting the machine head constructed by the exchange mechanism, he wouldn’t have to guard against whatever sabotage it might conduct inside.
This would greatly slow down his progress of dismantling and acquiring knowledge, but now his time is precious.
The current method of escape posed the slightest threat.
To regain its colorful power, even through fortuitous circumstances, would take hundreds or thousands of years.
And in hundreds or thousands of years.
By then, Kane would either be dead or long reached the level of Seven Colors.
Reached the stage where he couldn’t be easily eliminated.
"Alright, let’s gather ourselves and head back. We’ve won a victory, and perhaps his departure isn’t a bad thing."
The crowd saw that Kane didn’t mind much, so they naturally shrugged it off, disappearing from the island in an instant.
Escaped is escaped, the peak state has fallen to them.
Doing it again would only be easier.
Returned to the Platinum Palace.
...
Time flowed slowly.
When the sealed space was fully solidified, with the seal spreading entirely over it,
Kane’s figure appeared once more in this space.
It was time to collect the real spoils of war.
Looking at the huge mechanical head in front, his eyes gleamed with brilliance.
That gleam was full of desire.
Stepping forward, he placed his hand on the cold Metal Armor of this mechanical head.
Feeling the matte texture and that cold metallic touch above.
"What kind of metal is this exactly? I’ve never seen it, doesn’t seem naturally produced, did he condense it into an alloy himself?"
Even touching this layer of outer armor immediately reached the bounds of his knowledge.
And such a thing, it has an entire head, and inside this head holds countless knowledge, if turned into paper books, it might directly cover the entire continent.
Released a large number of Intelligent Cores.
And YuYu, who had always been following at his feet, also began studying the entire mechanical head.
Now, even YuYu’s strength has reached the level of gold.
Kane still doesn’t have the ability to make others achieve tricolor, not even YuYu, unless YuYu becomes completely subservient to him, like these Intelligent Cores.
But Kane clearly doesn’t want that.
YuYu has been by his side since his very lowest, providing countless help along the way.
He is no longer something that is subservient to him, but a complete individual.
These dispersed Intelligent Cores started to emit one scanning ray after another, surrounding this huge mechanical head, beginning the scanning and outer modeling process.
YuYu then directly started drawing up modeling patterns, attempting to find a relatively easy spot to start disassembly.
As the enemy’s core part of the soul escapes, this mechanical head truly and completely becomes theirs.
Violent dismantling obviously couldn’t be done, such precious wealth must be used carefully and prudently.
Even if a connected piece fell off, one would feel heartache to the point of vomiting blood.
Kane stepped forward and patted the outer armor of the head, emitting a banging sound.
"Hope the knowledge within this head can change the world’s current predicament, pray, if it really does, Mist won’t hesitate to let you restore yourself."
Of course, the enemy’s soul core had already disappeared, severing everything from the past.
He could no longer hear what he was saying.
But Kane was just grumbling, equivalent to praying for a better future.
As he said, if certain knowledge within this head could truly change the crisis of Mist World at present.
Even if it just provides inspiration to Kane and others, after truly repelling the deep light, Mist will definitely not be stingy with rewards.
Mechanical deity.
A mere seven-color existence.
Mist World’s vastness can fully accommodate such an entity.
Assist in reconstructing his body, provide him convenience, Mist would definitely be willing.
After all, the entire Mist Space is now sealed off, a fragile soul core surely still roams within Mist unable to escape.
And the nauseating aura on those who worship deep light will also instinctively cause the soul core to hide in the opposite direction.
Just as the thoughts in Kane’s head began to scatter.
YuYu’s voice sounded.
"Master, the analysis is complete. Perhaps starting the disassembly and analysis from the right side of the mechanical head, near the eye corner would be the best choice."
Hearing YuYu’s report underfoot, Kane nodded and immediately flew to the spot at the mechanical head’s eye area, which was now completely extinguished and closed.
Kane analyzed this spot, starting the disassembly from here, exploring the mysteries inside.
Time slowly slipped away.
Kane stayed in this space for enough time to have stayed over ten days.
There is only a day and a half left before they return outside Mist for the exchange.
At this moment, Kane’s hair was somewhat messy, but at least he didn’t appear to have many issues externally.
A large hole was excavated at the corner of the eye, various parts were neatly arranged not far away.
There is a transparent display cabinet, each part displayed within.
Intelligent Core views were everywhere around, their number reaching at least over a hundred.
A variety of large and small mechanical and cable connections densely laid around the mechanical head.
Even an information tower had already been erected in the corner of the space, and YuYu was situated at the main control position of the tower.
Assisting Kane in operating all the machinery here.
YuYu’s figure suddenly flew slowly from above the space, seeing Kane’s figure, immediately sat on his shoulder.
With clenched fists, it gave Kane’s forehead a good hit.
For such interference, Kane didn’t even bother, directly extending his hand to swat YuYu away like a fly.
"Go away, YuYu, don’t bother me. Let Kreya play with you, or even my daughter."
Seeing Kane’s actions and hearing his words, YuYu knew he had gone mad.
Her eyes turned and she directly disappeared from the original spot, re-entering the space at once, holding Kreya in hand.
While YuYu was whispering into Kreya’s ear stealthily.
Judging by YuYu’s expression, you could tell she was surely badmouthing Kane, and by Kreya’s expression, her mood was clearly not pleasant.
A crisp horse hoof sound resonated within the space.
Kreya took one step after another towards Kane.
Such a clear sound had already attracted YuYu’s attention.
It controlled a mechanical core, drifting to Kane’s side, extending the mechanical arm to poke Kane’s shoulder.
Jab!
Extend hand to swat away.
Jab!
Extend hand to swat away.
Seeing Kreya had reached behind Kane.
YuYu controlled the Intelligent Core silently flying away.
