Free Web NovelIn what felt like the blink of an eye, that terrifying black ripple closed in on their position.
The vast, twisted Root-level power instantly locked down the surrounding space.
And in the distance,
seeing this, the expressions of the God of All Machines and Sir Aiwen changed in an instant.
They hesitated not at all and were about to act to rescue them, but almost at the same moment, the Flesh and Blood Dominator and the Desire Mother Tree glanced over, then immediately, in perfect coordination, launched ferocious assaults at them, directly stifling their trajectories.
“You kept restraining us before, stopping us from rescuing Leviathan. Now it’s time you taste the same!” the Desire Mother Tree sneered, as the massive Flesh Tree Realm surgically cut across the entire battlefield.
“Lynn!!” Sir Aiwen’s eyes flashed with urgency.
With the Desire Mother Tree blocking like that, even if they struck now it was already too late, because they were far too close to the creature that had only half-displayed a pair of wings and an arm!
High above, the enormous ripple swept forward in an instant.
Lynn had almost no hesitation.
He clenched his teeth, unleashed a burst of muscle power, and with a violent upwards shove heaved Black Xianyue and Miaomiao—both stunned—upward.
“What are you doing?!” Black Xianyue cried out.
At almost the same instant Lynn had already grabbed her wrist, and with lightning speed pulled a suitcase from System Space.
“Get in!”
Everything was urgent.
Lynn did not hesitate, instantly pressing the petite Black Xianyue into the case. His expression went icy-calm as he shoved Miss Puppet in without waiting for protests, and squeezed Miaomiao in with force as well.
“Hurry! Alice!” Lynn ground out, reaching for his forehead and saying, “Possess her body now! Quick! We don’t have time!”
A streak of black light flashed.
Alice’s phantom instantly left Lynn’s body, rocketing toward the center of Black Xianyue’s brow, and Alice’s urgent voice rang out immediately, “Brother! What are you doing?”
Lynn looked at them calmly, clutching the suitcase, “If Miss Puppet won’t die, then you probably won’t either. Stay put. As long as I’m alive, I will open this the first chance I get!”
They hadn’t had time to reply before Lynn snapped the box shut and threw it back into System Space.
In an instant,
the wind howled, and the black ripple was already within arm’s reach.
Silver Fantasy accelerated full-tilt in the opposite direction, gritting her teeth as she immediately mobilized every ounce of power the God of All Machines had given her, forging layers of data defenses around her body.
“Where did you send them?!” Lynn adjusted his eyepatch calmly, “I put them in the case, but if I die, they probably won’t get out either.”
Silver Fantasy was frantic, racing through the sky; her tremendous speed even produced a sonic boom around her.
“This is all your fault! You incurable pervert!! Do you see? We’re all going to die here now!”
Lynn said solemnly, “Don’t talk so much. Can your power help us block her strike?”
Silver Fantasy grit her teeth against the wind as she sped ahead, “Impossible! Her energy level is too high. I only have a fraction of my Father’s power. Even as a Supreme Unit, to withstand a full Root-level strike is a fool’s dream!”
Lynn smiled faintly, showing a neat crescent of an eye. “Turns out you do talk a lot, Miss Intelligence Machine~”
[ Ding! Silver Fantasy’s anger toward you +19 ]
[ Ding! Silver Fantasy’s anger toward you +21 ]
That bastard!
That waste of a man!!
At a time like this, he still used this leisurely teasing tone to pick on her—he’s beyond saving. That lump between his ears is diseased to the bone!!
“Shut up!!” Silver Fantasy shouted angrily, “There’s no time! Use that part of my power the Cyber gave you! If added to yours, we might still have a chance to survive! Use it!”
Lynn adjusted his eyepatch seriously, spread his hand, and shook his head, “I can’t use it.”
“……”
A tense silence.
“AAAH—!!” Silver Fantasy screamed in absolute fury.
Only when faced with this idiot did her usually stable emotions wobble this way.
We’re dead!
At this moment, it was undeniably over!
And it was all because of that guy whose brain never seemed to be in the right place!!
“It’s fine, don’t be sad!” Lynn tilted his head, rubbed his brow, and smiled in a way that felt like a spring breeze—if not for the black ripple about to end them.
“I’m with you, Miss Intelligence Machine. Although I bullied you, insulted you, even contemplated something as extreme as impaling you on steel—honestly, I still greatly admire you.”
Silver Fantasy’s eyes trembled with anger.
Lynn glanced at the lip mark on his chest, then with slightly reddened eyes wiped away the forced moisture and smiled, “Besides, there’s the saying that a dying person speaks well—about the sins I committed against you, I truly am remorseful. You’re a good girl. Although you’re mechanical and might wear from usage, as a comrade you’re reliable. After all, apart from your throwing that nuclear bomb at me, we could still be close teammates who get along nicely!”
Silver Fantasy was so furious her CPU might as well be smoking; she forcibly turned her head to look at the ever-nearing ripple, then glanced with a tremor at the thorny assailant clinging to her ankle, flirting with her.
We’re dead!
We’re about to die!
This guy…
this guy he…
“Shut up!!” Silver Fantasy bellowed, head thrown back, completely breaking down, trying to fling the chewing-gum-like thing clinging to her foot.
But it did nothing—Lynn had stuck too firmly.
After saying those words, Lynn suddenly reached out like a climber, instantly grabbed her leg, and with a mighty leap hooked his arm around her shoulder.
Because of that,
Lynn and Silver Fantasy found themselves face to face in an instant.
“What are you trying to do?!” Silver Fantasy still clung to the will to live, urgently glancing back repeatedly, and had already abandoned the defenses she’d built—focusing all her strength into full acceleration.
