"I can't die..."
Behind them, five automatons, arranged in neat rows, slowly rose, their empty eyes flashing with a dark golden light: "Absolutely not!"
----------segmentation----------
Starting with Our Lady of the Rose, the energy circuits discovered in the N World were successfully transferred to the Machine World and evolved into the initial version of the automaton. Based on this, various magic circuits evolved, forming the first enhancement option in the God Space that is different from the "Life Virus". In comparison, the existing magic enhancement system in the Machine World has become dispensable. Some reincarnators will selectively enhance their spellcasting skills for convenience. As combat power, its strength and development potential are far superior to the enhancement systems of many automatons and puppeteers.
Following closely behind is World Nine—an intelligent world where automated dolls evolved into automated humanoids. Over the past year, Lin Yi has continuously improved and modified them, and the adjustments have been largely completed. Once the events in this world are over, this brand-new enhancement system can be added to the reincarnators' enhancement list.
The problem now is to remove the last obstacle in our way.
Intelligent Conservation: Starting from Chapter 143
As an individual that evolved from a deep-sea creature into an amphibious creature, Golas is still more accustomed to moving in the ocean area than on land. Therefore, its habitat is located in a bay in an inland area. However, through observation over the past two weeks, Lin Yi discovered another unusual pattern in its daily activities.
"They land on average once every three days, with each landing lasting from three to five hours. The purpose is... to search for minerals?"
Uranium-235
Hearing this, he was taken aback: "To replenish energy?"
[Correct judgment]
"Is there no uranium-235 in the deep sea?"
Under the same conditions, one unit of uranium-235 in land space contains 187 times more uranium-235 than in the deep sea.
Lin Yi suddenly realized: "So, the main purpose of landing is to search for nuclear reaction materials to provide for nuclear reactions within the body?"
[91.8% of the cognition matches the judgment]
If you think about it carefully, it's understandable. After all, in the deep sea, due to the large amount of seawater blocking the way, most of the nuclear radiation that falls will be diluted during the infiltration process. This is far less "convenient" than on land, especially during periods of radioactive dust. The radiation concentration on the entire surface is estimated to be thousands of times higher than in the deep sea. Just as humans would no longer seek food in a barren desert, it is normal for them to seek "energy".
"In that case, could we tamper with those radioactive minerals?"
In the current God Space, aside from other things, there are definitely plenty of virus samples. It is not lacking in samples that can affect mutated organisms. As long as these viruses are infecting those minerals and the target absorbs them, even if it cannot directly cause it to collapse genetically, it can at least reduce most of its combat power. However, the God gave a negative answer to Lin Yi's suggestion.
[With insufficient intelligence on the target gene, hasty gene intervention may lead to unknown mutations.]
"For example?"
[Possibility 1: A significant increase in the concentration of uranium-235 within the target body, triggering a chain reaction in a short period of time]
"..."
The rational decision was to abandon the idea of solving the problem with a virus. Lin Yi turned to look at the battle diagram on the screen—which was actually just a depiction of the target's possible activity areas and routes.
According to the subsequent plan, the team composed of reincarnators and automatons from the four worlds will be dispersed to surround the possible routes of Golas's actions. After determining the target's landing area, they will begin to compress its operational space and control the battle as much as possible in the coastal area, since only there can the automatons' greatest advantage—that is, their "number"—be brought into play.
Otherwise, if the battle takes place inland, the "ship girls" on the sea will be unable to play a role, while if the battle takes place at sea, the "gun girls" on land will be helpless. In this respect, the reincarnated ones, who have strong adaptability, are actually superior, but the cost of training them is too high...
"Does the electromagnetic interference device have absolutely no effect on it?"
[The target is a non-fully metallic life form; the probability of electromagnetic interference occurring is no higher than 2%]
Feeling helpless, Lin Yi had no choice but to abandon yet another tactic.
Previously, whether dealing with iron beasts in the deep sea or on land, the usual method was to unleash electromagnetic interference, which would cause them to charge like madmen. Because of the interference, they wouldn't necessarily flee mid-battle. However, due to the different structure of these life forms, this tactic wouldn't work this time. Therefore, more than whether he could defeat this Golas, Lin Yi was worried that it might develop intelligence and realize the danger mid-battle, causing it to flee. If that happened, pulling it out of the deep sea a second time would be much more difficult.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi subconsciously looked at the girl waiting beside him as always: "...Eve".
"Yes, Father."
Watching the girl's departing figure, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief.
Although I'm not entirely confident, being prepared is always better than being unprepared.
Just then, a notification sound came from the main god machine.
[Target's movement trajectory detected]
----------segmentation----------
This is Ouyang Huang's third time participating in a campaign mission.
"so big……"
It wasn't so shocking when most of its body was hidden in the sea—it was at most like a semi-submersible submarine. However, when it lifted its entire body out of the seawater and stood on the ground at a height of over 100 meters, the sheer size difference was enough to make Ouyang Huang lose his will to fight.
It's fair to say that if it were us "commanders" who were to participate in the battle against this behemoth, we would have already lost 90% of the battle without even fighting.
"Commander, please give the order."
As if completely oblivious to the violent tremors on the ground caused by the movement of the distant behemoth, the "girl" gripping her gun remained calm as she awaited instructions.
Involuntarily, a question arose in Ouyang Huang's mind: Are they really his kind?
If not, why do they have bodies and appearances like humans? But if they do, why don't they feel even the slightest fear when faced with this situation?
"commander?"
"Ah, sorry..."
Realizing they were still on the "front lines," Ouyang Huang instinctively apologized, then took a deep breath: "Operation begins! And—"
Watching the "girl" turn and leave, he swallowed the rest of his words.
"……careful."
It wasn't just the admirals and commanders of the "intelligent world" who shared the same sentiment. When they saw a "skyscraper" rise up before their eyes, presenting itself in a ferocious manner, the reincarnators from various worlds were also shocked and astonished. Only a small number of reincarnators who were used to facing giants did not show too much confusion. However, in their understanding, even the tallest giant was only about twenty meters tall. Suddenly seeing a monster that was over a hundred meters tall in front of them was still difficult to adapt to. But the reality was that there was no time for them to get used to this opponent that had expanded five times.
"Watch out, it's coming!"
As the first wave of attacks came from the fearless automatons below, Golas, walking on land, clearly noticed the annoying ants beneath its feet. Out of instinct to repel these "pests," it didn't immediately activate its internal nuclear energy reaction, but instead lifted its foot—
"Get away!"
"avoid--"
“Dong——————————”
Even though it was more than 300 meters away, "Alchemy" fixed to the tree still felt as if its body was being pulled up and violently swung.
"Damn it, this monster."
He cursed under his breath, then turned his gaze once more to the center of the distant battlefield.
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 144 High-Energy Particle Rays
In the final moments of her "life," the "girl" felt she had to admit something...
“HK…keep going…”
“Evacuate…”
"Rescue—"
"Order!"
The mechanical signal remained cold; even pressing one's palms tightly against the body, one could not feel any so-called "warmth." Any warmth felt was merely the scorching heat of burning and the intense heat experienced when the signal was blocked.
—Are all my actions truly driven by a "mission"?
Is it really because he was willing to give everything, even if it meant being completely destroyed, to reclaim everything that belonged to humanity and was now being taken over by the Iron Beasts?
No chess ② Shaanxi Phosphorus Temple Research VI; I 鏾4 Yes.
The "girl" knew very well that, from the moment she was created until now, she had never been so clearly aware of this issue.
All his actions were not out of a "mission," after all, that was at most a wish belonging to the human race. Even if he took back everything, what would it have to do with him, who was not human?
The "girl" felt that she could now admit that she was not acting because of a mission, but because of an "order".
Command is absolute; it cannot be captured yet it certainly exists, permeating everything about itself, from birth to destruction.
Is such a "life" meaningful?
The question seemed to echo faintly from the depths of my consciousness.
We were manufactured, ordered to do things, and then destroyed. Did we ever truly "live" as individuals?
The "girl" was puzzled by this question, because she shouldn't have such a question in the context of the "order": the question stemmed from thinking, and thinking itself was forbidden in the order.
So, where does this question come from?
The "girl," unable to comprehend it, begins to think—thinking that is forbidden by orders...
A small island in the center of the ocean.
Laboratory, automated humanoid template replication center.

With a dazzling flash of electronic sparks, the high-load mechanical noise quickly subsided, and everything returned to darkness and silence, except for "thinking".

"Lord God, how is the situation?"
[...Automatic humanoid combat casualty rate 27.84%, Reincarnator combat casualty rate 3.9%]
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but when the voice in my mind came out, it had a strange, unclear feeling, like the signal was being interfered with, but it quickly returned to normal.
His gaze fell upon the blinding flash that suddenly erupted in the center of the battlefield, and his right eye squinted instinctively, startled: "...That's about it."
Below, the reincarnators who had been hiding outside the battlefield also began their own actions.
"Although it is huge, the target is quite slow. Watch out for its movements and engage in close combat!"
"Its body lacks a metallic protective layer, so let the native inhabitants draw their fire while we attack directly."
"Be careful, it might have other attack methods. The main quest of the Supreme God can't be that simple—"
Almost at the same moment the warning was received, "Alchemist," who was about to control two automatons to approach and attack, noticed the anomaly above—it started as just a crimson, high-temperature flame, but under rapid compression, it quickly condensed into a deep red pillar of fire more than five meters in diameter. Just as "Alchemist," witnessing this scene, was horrified and wanted to warn the members of "Rose" to retreat, the extremely compressed, scorching pillar of fire reflected on his retina turned into a blinding beam of "light."
"laugh--"
Surprisingly, it didn't cause much of a stir.
The fleeting "beam" failed to cause much of a stir on the battlefield. If it weren't for the lingering pungent smell of oxygen separation in the air, "Alchemist" would have almost doubted whether what he had just seen was an illusion.
No, it can't be an illusion...
Because of its elevated position, "Alchemy," with its gaze shifting back, clearly captured the "red line" that stretched from the center of the battlefield—starting from the feet of Golas and extending all the way to the mountaintop at the end.
—It didn't cause much of a commotion; there was no explosion or tremor. It simply melted away everything in its path silently.
"...This monster!"
Instinct urged him frantically to get away from the compressed flames that were surging again ahead. "Alchemist" knew very well that if he were really hit by this "light," no, even if he was only grazed, he would definitely not be able to leave behind a complete corpse. However, even knowing this outcome, he still had no choice.
Main Quest: Assist in defeating the mutated creature Golas
[Success Reward: 1000~10000 reward points (based on kill contribution)]
[Failure penalty: obliteration]
[Time Limit: 17 minutes and 11 seconds]
It's more like gambling than fighting.
The "alchemist," who was constantly observing the direction of Golas's head movement, suddenly had this realization.
The gamble is whether one's luck will be worse—whether one is swept away and evaporated by that beam of "intense light" before killing it, or whether one's massive body will be torn apart before that happens, giving one another chance to prolong one's life.
----------segmentation----------
High-energy particle rays (the jets formed by the massive energy generated by the nuclear fission reaction of polymer cores; because the energy is generated by nuclear fission, in addition to the high temperature, they also have extremely strong radiation).
At close range, it might not be possible to clearly observe the power of this beam of light. However, Lin Yi, who was in control of the entire battlefield from a "third-party" perspective throughout the process, was able to fully capture the power of this "intense light" that the main god named "high-energy particle beam".
"The instantaneous temperature at the center exceeds 5,000 degrees Celsius. If the focus is continuously applied to a single point, it is estimated that the temperature can be heated to at least 10,000 degrees Celsius..."
In his line of sight, the red "scratches" were like haphazardly torn scars across the ground. Without exception, everything that was swept away was instantly vaporized by the terrifying heat. After a quick calculation, Lin Yi had to admit that even he could not survive for more than five seconds in that terrifying ray, let alone the strong radiation effect that came with it. Even if he barely survived, he would probably perish in the rapid decay of his body cells.
"Golas".
The undisputed overlord of this planet... but he is only an "overlord of the land".
