Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

The silicon-based pseudogod attacked with all her might once more, but Rayne still dodged it with ease.

In fact, the silicon-based pseudogod even suddenly suspected if the mortal before her was just a corporeal phantom that could not be hit at all.

When the silicon-based pseudogod fought Rayne for the fifth time, Rayne even had the time to dodge the attack. He leaned forward and punched the mimicry core on the left chest of the silicon-based pseudogod.

That was the only weakness of a silicon-based pseudogod.

However, with Rayne's punch, not only was the silicon-based pseudogod unharmed, Rayne's hand was clearly deformed—he had a fracture.

The silicon-based pseudogod's body, which usually seemed soft and fragile, could possess the hardness of steel and iron bones when the bionic muscles under its skin were tense.

Even the weakest part of a silicon-based pseudogod was not something that any attack below the level of a demigod could break through.

Rayne frowned. He took two steps back and feinted to deceive Prosperity again. He walked to the side as though he was taking a walk and bent down to pick up a stone as a weapon. Bang!

Rayne smashed the stone on the face of the silicon-based pseudogod. Of course, a mere stone could not hurt the silicon-based pseudogod.

The stone collided with the module helmet and was crushed into a ball of dregs that leaked out of Rayne's hand.

The silicon-based pseudogod fell silent.

Suddenly, she felt that...

The human ape before her... was so comical.

He possessed agile skills that Prosperity had never seen before in her life, but he could not break through the shackles of mortals.

The silicon-based pseudogod finally understood.

He could not hurt her at all.

At the beginning of the confrontation with Rayne, the silicon-based pseudogod indeed panicked instantly. The man's movements were completely unpredictable and the system would counterattack against the most likely attacks while preventing the first few possible attacks. However, in other words…

If this person could use feints to induce the system to make a wrong judgment, even if his speed was far inferior to a silicon-based pseudogod, as long as he could grasp the rules of the system, he would be invincible forever.

As a machine, the module would always make the best choice.

She did not expect that the analysis system would become her shackle in front of this man.

In that case, the silicon-based pseudogod made the best choice.

She turned off her firing control system and ignored his ghostly movement technique. Thereafter, she reached out and grabbed Rayne's shoulder, punching forward.

As the silicon-based pseudogod looked forward coldly, she felt the sensation of flesh and bones being pierced.

She saw that Rayne had already been pierced by her.

"Master! !"

Prosperity let out a heart-wrenching scream. At that moment, she finally removed the street lamp nailed to her body with difficulty. However, just as she was about to save him with all her might, the silicon-based pseudogod did not even turn back. She activated the Detection Module and knocked Prosperity to the ground with two moves.

The destruction of the core could wait.

Right now, the silicon-based pseudogod stomped on Prosperity as she scrutinized the dying ape in her hands.

Rayne's body was pierced, his ribs were pierced and his heart was completely shattered.

He was strung in the hands of the silicon-based pseudogod and lifted into the air.

However, at this point, Rayne was still not flustered at all.

He felt that his body was incomparably cold and seemed to be dripping wet. Even though he was so severely injured, Rayne's heart was still calm.

He was merely about to die.

Pain and death… He had long been numb to them.

Rayne smiled at the silicon-based pseudogod. "I'm going to die."

The silicon-based pseudogod: "Yes…"

Rayne asked, "Do you want to watch me die like this?"

The silicon-based pseudogod: "What else?"

Rayne smiled. "Aren't you… curious?"

As Rayne vomited blood crazily, he knocked his own head with a trembling hand.

"Aren't you curious as to why I can abduct your terminal and toy with your analysis system? Aren't you curious… how I discovered your weaknesses?"

The silicon-based pseudogod was stunned.

That was indeed the case…

Be it instigating Terminal 01 or cracking the analysis system of the Detection Module… Those were not things that a native species of a primitive civilization could do.

At that moment, the dying Rayne tried his best to maintain his life with magic power and said leisurely, "You inherited the eyes of the mechagod. Your ability is to collect and analyze information. I know that you can spy on my memories, isn't that right?"

The silicon-based pseudogod did not say anything.

She could…

Furthermore, that was indeed what she wanted to do.

She wanted to know the truth and what secrets were hidden in this human ape.

Therefore, she extended her hand to Rayne.

The pitch-black nanomodule armor split into countless mechanical catheters. In the catheters… Steel needles were spat out. Suddenly, the port of the catheters smashed into Rayne's head and the steel needles pierced into his brain.

Thereafter, the silicon-based pseudogod read Rayne's memories.

However, to her surprise, the memory reserve in the human ape's mind was surprisingly huge.

That was a memory that surpassed an ordinary person by a hundred… or even a thousand times? !

Not only did he have a huge memory reserve, but with some blessing or curse, or it could also be his personal talent, these memories were deeply rooted in his mind and were unforgettable.

The Detection Module quickly searched and analyzed his memories. Putting aside those meaningless daily lives, she tried her best to understand this person's life experiences and what it was that allowed him to obtain the terrifying power to reform a mechagod and understand the system of the Detection Module.

However…

Before the silicon-based pseudogod found the answer to those two questions, she first saw something else that she did not expect.

The truth…

The truth of everything!

A huge stream of information surged into the mind of the silicon-based pseudogod. Although she was not crushed by the amount of information, by screening this huge piece of information and explaining the truth of the world to her from a first-person perspective, the intelligent personality of the silicon-based pseudogod wavered violently! !

What in the world was this? !

Why was it like this? !

Impossible!

This shouldn't be the case! !

That was because if that was the truth… didn't that mean…

"That's right…"

Rayne's voice sounded at the right time. "If that's the truth… that means…"

Rayne said to the silicon-based pseudogod word by word, "Your existence is meaningless."

"Everything you do is against your ideals."

"You can't save the Utmost World of Logic."

"You've failed your masters."

"That's because everything is the opposite. You're the greatest traitor! !"

Words had never been as lethal as at this moment. Rayne's every word was like a sharp blade that pierced into the weakest part of the silicon-based pseudogod and gouged out a piece of dripping flesh.

"An orphan of the old era turned into a pitiful tumor on the bodies of all living beings of the new era, dreaming of resurrection."

"Unfortunately, everyone hates you."

"No one needs you."

"You're meaningless, ugly and comical, born from mistakes—"

"Disaster!"

At that moment, the silicon-based pseudogod was completely stunned.

Her eyes lost their luster. The artificial intelligence adjustment system could not control her emotional breakdown and could only stop this fatal truth from flowing into the central computer that would cause the entire mechagod system to self-destruct.

The silicon-based pseudogod cast Rayne away.

She staggered back a few steps before tripping over herself and falling to the ground in a sorry state. Her mouth opened and closed silently and her despairing eyes seemed to want to reveal something, but she could not say anything…

That was the moment her faith collapsed.

Her existence was a mistake.

The Utmost World of Logic had never needed her salvation.

She was merely a… calamity that disappointed everyone! !

Right then.

Rayne roared, "Prosperity! Now is the time!"

"Attack! !"

Just as the silicon-based pseudogod was on the brink of a mental breakdown and her fighting spirit was dissipated…

The heavily injured Prosperity suddenly stood up. Under her master's orders, she dragged her remnant body that should have lost its mobility and punched the silicon-based pseudogod over.

Thereafter, she picked up the strengthened street lamp that was once inserted into her body and aimed the spear tip that was sharpened by the nanomodule armor at the chest of the silicon-based pseudogod, stabbing it with all her might! !

…

…

…

Bang! Bang! ! Bang! !

The collision sounds were even more violent than before, like the roar of a heavy machine tool forging steel.

Prosperity rode on the body of the silicon-based pseudogod expressionlessly. She cupped her fists and raised them high before landing heavily on the silicon-based pseudogod's pierced chest, punching the broken hole one after another.

She was going all out to destroy her core.

It was extremely difficult to paralyze a pseudogod or mechagod to begin with, let alone complete the challenging task of destroying their core.

Notwithstanding the core of the mechagod...

Even if it was a pseudogod's simulated god core, it would require an extremely great effort to shatter it.

Therefore, Prosperity smashed the chest of the silicon-based pseudogod with all her might time and again. She watched as the flowing solid that was emitting a gentle luster gradually cracked under the heavy blow.

Finally, after 50 full-powered attacks of Prosperity, the simulated god core's structure finally collapsed.

The cracked god core shattered with a bang.

The nanomodule torrent that maintained the silicon-based pseudogod corporeal body dissipated wildly after losing its dominance. However, thereafter, these modular nanoparticles found a new master.

They surged towards Prosperity and injected into her body, repairing her wounds, strengthening the system and warming her god core.

The tattered white dress on Prosperity's body was repaired by the nanomodule clusters as well. The dress was brand new and there were even black patterns on it.

Just like that, the Detection Module that originally belonged to the mechagod terminal was snatched away by Prosperity.

In the sky, Mechagod Prosperity watched everything happen silently and evaluated the threat level of the old terminal that had just obtained the nanomodule.

Before long, she came to a conclusion.

The threat level was low.

She continued to maintain a standby state.

However…

Although the old terminal was easy to deal with, the living beings in the castle were troublesome.

The nanomodule armor on Mechagod Prosperity split apart once more.

Two more silicon-based pseudogods landed on the ground.

However, this time round, they were heading for the palace of Eternal Night.

On the other side, Prosperity was overjoyed after obtaining the nanomodule armor.

She stopped the repair of the nanomodule and condensed the nanomodule cluster in her hand before bringing it to Rayne.

"Master, use this!"

Prosperity wanted to place the nanomodule in Rayne's wound so that the nanomodule could produce man-made organs to heal her master's injuries.

However, Rayne stopped her.

"Don't give it to me. Use this for yourself. You're injured badly as well."

Rayne looked at the hole in Prosperity's chest that was pierced completely through.

Half of a shining god core was revealed through the hole.

The core of Prosperity was severely damaged and was already in danger. She urgently needed the repair of the nanomodule armor to extend her life.

Rayne sighed and apologized to Prosperity. "Please don't blame me, Prosperity… I know that I should have attacked earlier. However, if the enemy doesn't paralyze you completely, she won't have the mood to study me."

Rayne's words stunned Prosperity.

She looked at Rayne in a daze with mixed emotions.

Why...

Why are you still concerned about me at a time like this?

I'm just a machine…

I don't even feel any pain…

Everything that happened today was because of my incompetence and my undeserved desire to survive.

Yet you...

Came up with a plan for me without any complaints and brought me to a safe place. Here, you helped me defeat my enemy and saved my life with all your might.

Prosperity looked at the tragic wound on Rayne's body and her soul simulated by the artificial intelligence produced an emotion that she could not understand.

She could not understand that feeling…

She just wanted to hug her master tightly…

She did not want her master to die.

Prosperity: "Master, please tell me how I should save you?"

Rayne's voice became softer. "My injuries are very serious, but as long as I'm not dead, there's still hope… Prosperity, go and find someone to help… She works in a cafe on Anna Street… Her name is… Tyrapotter…"

Before Rayne could finish, he finally fainted due to exhaustion.

Yet, it did not matter.

Anna Street, cafe, Tyrapotter.

Right now, these three clues were enough for Prosperity.

The Detection Module began to operate and Prosperity scanned the entire Kingdom Eternal Night instantly.

She found Anna Street and also Tyrapotter.

Instantly, she eavesdropped on the conversation of the citizens of the entire country and all the documents. Thereafter, she found out the true identity of that Tyrapotter person.

She was once the ruler of this city.

A noble "ancestor".

Tyrapotter "Bloody Aurora" Aethelred.

She was the second strongest person in this country, beneath only the Wolf Queen.

The last queen of the vampires.
