Chapter 981: Chapter 25: Physicians Cannot Heal Themselves (7)
“Too many people, too fast, three seconds is only enough for to protect Hundred Bird City.”
“The artificial body mutation is spreading with Hundred Bird City as its center, expanding to the entire chanical State!” Qiluo reported quickly, still wearing the sleeping cap she had no ti to remove. “As of one second ago, the total number of affected individuals exceeded one hundred thousand, and it’s estimated that in one minute the total number of victims will surpass seven hundred thousand!”
Chikou Zhenfan’s face turned ashen, feeling dizzy and on the verge of collapse. So many lives in her perception were dimming like candles in the wind, yet so system supported by these countless lives was growing stronger. Bai Aoli was engaged in so terrifying frenzy, with one wrong thought potentially destroying lives in the hundred thousands.
“Has Bai Aoli gone mad!” the doctor shouted angrily, “Does she really intend to achieve immortality through such pathetic ans? And drag the entire chanical State into hell for it?!”
“We still underestimated the totem’s control over the environnt.” Gongsun Ce grabbed a wooden arm from a machine as a research sample, pulverizing the rest of the wood instantly. He murmured, “Calm your emotions, doctor! It seems saving people will depend on you this ti!”
Gongsun Ce’s shout steadied the doctor, who grabbed Gongsun Ce’s wrist with desperation akin to a drowning person clinging to a lifebuoy.
“Now is not the ti for delving into details; the urgent priority is to protect the citizens.” Alandia judged, “Ce, you’re the strongest now. You take Miss Zhenfan and Miss Qiluo to handle the rampaging artificial bodies. We will go and control Bai Aoli Dadarian.”
“Alright, stay safe.” Gongsun Ce pulled along the ashen-faced Zhenfan and the bewildered Qiluo, “Ling, prepare so ti!”
Shiyu Ling tossed him an illusory pocket watch, and with the group, vanished from the spot. Gongsun Ce did not imdiately use the pocket watch but led Zhenfan and Qiluo at high speed over the chanical State, halting at the center of the sea of trees. The telekinetic perception range had extended at maximum speed since the beginning of the incident, now covering the entire chanical State. Gongsun Ce clapped his hands loudly, and five spiral giant spears over three hundred ters long appeared at his will, like divine war spears piercing into and surrounding the center of the tree sea!
“Holy Cross Silence Gun Lock.”
The Spiral Gun Prison was a technology developed to restrain an opponent’s domain・world, while the Silence Gun Lock was created to interrupt an opponent’s large-scale skill, serving as a “temporary array.” The rotation amplitudes of the five giant spears had subtle differences, and the vibration waves caused by their rotation were intentionally controlled to interweave, resonating across the entire chanical State as if using it as a chessboard. This imperceptible vibration was like blades traversing the air, intercepting and exterminating the signals emanating from the totems mid-way.
In that mont, Bai Aoli’s totemic commands were temporarily halted, and those not yet fully activated artificial bodies simultaneously ceased growing. Gongsun Ce’s rapid intervention prevented the worst developnt, yet the already activated machines could not be interrupted again by the gun lock.
More than a hundred thousand innocents, upon waking from the nightmare, had beco part of the plants, those crazed plants leaving human structures to surge into the tree sea. The primal savage instincts of the plants took command of their lives; they began rooting, budding, and greedily absorbing nutrients from their environnt, this survival impulse responding to the plants in the tree sea, spawning a new mutation. Under the sinking night, the tranquil erald tree sea suddenly erupted into turbulent waves, with madly growing roots breaking through the earth, tearing the ground, and frenzied branches dancing toward the sky.
The human chaos sparked nature’s reaction, and, in a flash, the tree sea turned into a living entity, growing mad with its rapid expansion!
“Be careful, Gongsun Ce.” said Zhenfan, absorbed in her studies of the artificial bodies, “This isn’t purely a giant dragon phenonon; there is so information hidden deep in the veins of these plants that I don’t understand. Bai Aoli Dadarian intends to use these plants to create sothing… akin to the biochemical bodies I usually adjust to.”
“I see it.” Gongsun Ce suppressed his anger, “You’re right, the old lady has truly gone mad!”
Zhenfan also saw the fruits of this madness. In the east of chanical State, a mass of intertwined roots erupted like a volcanic explosion, rising with soil and trees into the night sky. Each root was once a human carrying an artificial body, tens of thousands of thick roots, after devouring the life force of the tree sea, converged to form a towering humanoid akin in height to the spear pillars.
Its trunk bore no distinguishing features, just a deep brown like old tree bark; its head had no face but a deep recessed cavity. Twisted, entangled vines ford its coarse limbs as it raised its hands, creating an erald green ring hovering above like an angel’s halo.
“Constant Dragon Body・Wind Angel, construction complete.” echoed Bai Aoli’s shrill laughter from within the giant’s hollow head, “Try to bring it down, boy. Let see how much difference remains between this totem-independent plant dragon body and a true Creator Realm Mage!”
Gongsun Ce wasn’t provoked; this giant was ford by the aggregation of a hundred thousand lives, and who could tell if defeating it would keep those innocents safe. He created a white platform in the air, then descended layer upon layer of white giant walls to block the giant, observing the so-called “Wind Angel” carefully.
This ti, the Wind Angel seed completely different from the Thunder Angel ford by Thunderbolt, its movents cumberso and monotonous, devoid of any “technique” elents. In face of the white walls’ obstruction, it only ignorantly pushed, clambered, like a child exploring an incomprehensible environnt. But its massive size rendered all its actions to appear like earth-shaking in ordinary people’s eyes.
