As the brain hit the ground, the intensity of the Spiritual Pollution decreased by several levels, but it did not disappear completely.
Lu Heng imdiately swung his sword, piercing through the brain and severing all the connecting tubes, causing the Spiritual Pollution to finally vanish.
Roar!
The chanical Tiger let out a roar, broke free from the Thunder restraints, and rushed to shield the nearly destroyed brain.
Lu Heng looked up, adjusted his breathing, and raised his sword toward the chanical Tiger.
The brain in the vat was already broken, and the Abyss Pollution Source had been eliminated; this Abyss Battlefield was about to end.
The owner of this chanical Tiger must have been this brain.
According to the rules of chanical beast programming, after the death of the owner, the chanical Beast would face two scenarios: either remain guarding their owner's body until its chanical form completely failed,
or so chanical Beasts, at the ti of purchase, would be implanted with a Revenge program by their owners.
Upon confirming the killer of their owner, the chanical Beasts would then activate their Revenge program.
Ordinary robots, even military robots, do not possess a Revenge program.
The Revenge program implanted in chanical Beasts is a special exception granted by the ruling class of the Sikes Civilization.
However, not all chanical Beasts are equipped with this Revenge program.
Lu Heng was not sure whether this chanical Tiger had it.
However, once a chanical Beast was bound to an owner, it could not be modified, it could only be destroyed.
Thus, there was no other way.
Since it couldn't be subdued, it had to be completely destroyed.
Roar!
The chanical Tiger emitted a tallic-sounding simulated roar, filled with anger.
Its chanical core had fused with Source Material, granting it intelligence and the capability to show emotions that only living beings possess.
Now that its owner had been killed, it was filled with imnse rage.
Just as Lu Heng was about to make his move,
the face of the Sikes individual reappeared on the shattered glass on the ground.
Since there were many fragnts, each piece displayed his face, and for a mont, it seed as if the entire room was filled with his shadows.
Lu Heng's gaze sharpened as he thought, Could it be that he's not completely dead yet?
He was about to use Thunder to completely incinerate the brain.
However, he heard the Sikes individual speak, "Thank you, unknown species of intelligent life."
Hearing this voice, there was no hostility, but rather a sense of relief and release from bondage.
Moreover, the Spiritual Pollution had completely disappeared.
Lu Heng then understood what was happening, "So, your self-awareness hasn't completely vanished."
"My na is Lakrini Sikes. I have been trapped here for fifteen years. Due to the Spiritual Pollution from the Abyss, many things have been beyond my control..."
Lakrini Sikes showed a relaxed smile and continued, "Actually, I ca to this planet to investigate the Abyss, but instead, I ended up being controlled by it.
"I fear ti is running out. The Abyss is spreading to the Capital Star Circle, but the rulers there might not have realized this yet.
"I request that you send a warning to the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization, alerting them to the crisis emanating from the Abyss."
Lu Heng heard the request but there was no indication of a hidden mission or anything similar.
Clearly, the request went beyond the scope of this Abyss Battlefield.
This Abyss Battlefield encompassed only this planet, whereas his request entailed sending a warning to the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization.
This ant that the impact would extend beyond the scope of the Abyss Battlefield.
In the future, the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization might also face an Abyss Battlefield.
In his previous life, Lu Heng had once been transported to the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization. If he now sent a warning to the Sikes Civilization's Capital Star Circle, would he directly alter the future course of the Sikes Civilization?
With no ti for deliberation, Lu Heng quickly weighed the pros and cons and agreed, "Okay, I'll find a way to send the warning to your civilization."
"Good, thank you, stranger. I have been trapped here for fifteen years and have nothing of value to offer in gratitude," Lakrini Sikes expressed his sincere thanks.
It seed as if he intended to ask for help without giving anything in return.
Even without a reward, Lu Heng would still try, as any effort to counter the Abyss invasion was worth attempting.
Of course, it would be better if there was a reward.
Lu Heng pointed at the chanical Tiger in front of him and said, "This could be considered as a token of gratitude."
Lakrini Sikes seed to realize sothing and exclaid, "Ah, yes, I almost forgot—101, initiate binding authority, bind to the intelligent life before . After my death, he will be your sole master, gaining full authority."
The chanical Tiger showed no hesitation as the program started and it bowed its head to Lu Heng to complete the neural binding.
Binding completed.
Lakrini Sikes spoke one final ti, "Please grant a fla to bid farewell to this world."
Lu Heng complied with his request and incinerated his brain with Flas.
The chanical Tiger watched the gradually diminishing fire, falling into a long silence.
Lu Heng had initially thought that it would be impossible to obtain a chanical Beast of this kind, but in the end, he successfully bound it through these circumstances.
Since the Power Users of the Central System Camp were still searching the building, he didn't have the leisure to study the functions of this chanical Beast; he needed to hurry and leave.
The three of them and the chanical Tiger swiftly left the hemispherical building.
Lu Heng took the opportunity to have Su Muyu relay a ssage to Chen Zihang through the reconnaissance eagle, telling him that the main brain controlling the rogue chanical Servants had been destroyed and arranging to et him on the southeast beach of the Ecological Island.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Zihang also left the hemispherical building and headed for the beach in the southeast.
On the beach.
Lu Heng enjoyed the sea breeze as he checked the data for chanical Beast 101.
A new item had been added to the character's data panel.
[chanical Followers: chanical Beast 101]
[chanical Beast 101]
[Core Level: A Level]
[Specifications: Length 3.2 ters, shoulder height 1.3 ters, weight 1.6 tons]
[Attribute: Attack Power 350]
[Trait: Source Fusion]
[Source Fusion: The chanical Core is enhanced with Source Material, acquiring a chanical life form, and has three Skill Slots.]
[Skill Slot Number: 3]
[Evaluation: A chanical Beast created with the top technology of the Sikes Civilization, possessing a liquid tal shell that can transform at will, reducing most physical attacks. The chanical Core has an intelligent interface and can be equipped with a variety of Sikes Civilization weapons.]
After reviewing the data for the chanical Tiger, Lu Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
An A-level chanical Beast, its stats were very impressive.
Its outer shell made of liquid tal could transform at will, aning its appearance wasn't fixed. The initial form resembled a tiger, overall one size larger than a Northeast Tiger.
The most attractive feature was undoubtedly the Source Fusion.
After the fusion of the chanical Core with Source Material, it had unexpectedly developed a chanical life form and possessed three Skill Slots.
This ant that he could teach it skills.
Previously, he thought that 600 points of Divine Energy was a bit much, but now it seed like a huge bargain.
Not to ntion, even if its own combat power was weak, having three Skill Slots and absolute loyalty made it possible to use as a skill deploynt device.
Furthermore, this chanical Tiger was manufactured with the pinnacle of Sikes Civilization's technology, already at an A-level, and its combat power was not weak.
They waited on the beach for about fifteen minutes.
Chen Zihang's team arrived on the beach.
"The main brain has been destroyed by you?" Chen Zihang first sought to confirm the accuracy of this information.
"Yes, I've destroyed the main brain. It was indeed a Sikes brain, and it had been corrupted by the Abyss. The Spiritual Pollution was incredibly strong, and I almost couldn't withstand it." Lu Heng briefly described the situation at the ti.
Chen Zihang glanced at the mission information and asked, "Have you completed your second Challenge Task then? I haven't completed mine, does it an I didn't benefit from the destruction of the Abyss Pollution Source you carried out?"
This Abyss Battlefield.
Among the three Challenge Tasks, the first was to destroy 30 combat units from the enemy factions.
This was easy to achieve and had been completed a few days ago.
Once a Challenge Task objective was reached, the task would display "Completed."
Hearing Chen Zihang's question, Lu Heng checked his mission information and then raised an eyebrow, answering, "Strange, my second Challenge Task isn't marked as completed either."
The second Challenge Task was: Find the root of the Abyss Pollution and eradicate it.
Lu Heng had definitely destroyed that corrupted brain, yet the task had not been marked as completed, which was peculiar.
"I'm certain I've destroyed that brain. I burned it with fire."
Chen Zihang furrowed his brow and pondered, "Is it possible that the Abyss Pollution Source hasn't been completely cleared?"
Lu Heng recalled the events, then asked, "What about on your end? Is it possible that the Central System has also been polluted by the Abyss? Have you confird this?"
Chen Zihang shook his head in response, "No, I don't have the authority to enter the Central System's machine room, so I can't give a definite answer."
Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "The Abyss Pollution Source on my end has been dealt with. Unless there's a second source. If there is a second one, I suggest we first ascertain whether the Central System has been polluted."
Chen Zihang nodded in agreent, "I'll find a way to do that. As soon as the island attack is over, I'll head back to see if I can get into the machine room."
The island attack was drawing to a close.
The main brain of the rogue chanical Servants had been destroyed, and without the computation power support of the main brain, the remaining robots were unable to mount an effective defense.
However, the Gestalt Consciousness of the rogue chanical Servants hadn't been completely eradicated.
Because according to the structure of the Gestalt Consciousness, it consists of individual units forming a collective consciousness.
This ans that even if any single conscious unit is destroyed, the Gestalt Consciousness will continue to operate.
However, if the destroyed unit has high computational power, the overall computational power of the Gestalt Consciousness will significantly decrease, leading to lowered operational efficiency.
Now that the main brain was destroyed, the computational power of the remaining rogue chanical Servants was insufficient, and they couldn't withstand the attack from the chanical Guards.
Hundreds of chanical Guards stord the Ecological Island, using machine guns to destroy all rogue robots within sight.
Without the Ecological Island as a base, the rogue chanical Servant faction was effectively annihilated.
Lu Heng, seeing the situation clearly, took out three Central System Camp wristbands that Chen Zihang had given him, and said to Su Muyu and the other person, "Put on the wristbands, we are switching factions."
