421 Humanity’s Victory (1/2)

”Eh? Why doesn't the mechanical giant use the rays any longer?”

”It has stopped!”

”It's movements also became slower. What's going on?”

...

The dense mass of figures around the space began to surround the mechanical giant, closing in the gaps as they launched attacks akin to the tides, engulfing the giant completely.

However, the energy in the mechanical giant seemed endless; its ability to persist in combat mode far surpassed humans.

After experiencing the short-term advantage earlier before the mechanical giant transformed, the cultivators all fell into the disadvantageous position once again due to the great disparity in strength.

When everyone was feeling more and more uneasy, the initially difficult situation actually became more relaxed.

The movements of the mechanical giant got increasingly slower. The light rays it manifested were also reduced in number, allowing the humans to see a precious opportunity to catch their breaths.

What happened exactly?

They couldn't help but have some guesses in their hearts.

Could the mechanical giant that was seemingly filled with boundless energy finally exhaust itself?

But this was impossible.

Those who could join the Great Wall University could all be considered experts in terms of scientific knowledge.

Nuclear fusion technology was already common knowledge in the Interstellar Era. Even elementary school students understood the principle of it.

Nuclear fusion was a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei were combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles. The difference in mass between the reactants and products was manifested as either the release or absorption of vast amounts of energy.

As long as the matter wasn't completely exhausted, based on energy theory, the energy should be endless.

Thus, it was impossible for it to exhaust all its energy within such a short time.

In that case, what had happened then?

….

The gazes all stared over. After that, everyone had a shocked look on their faces.

They saw a silvery beam of light dancing around the gaps of countless metallic tentacles, agilely avoiding them.

Every time the tentacles closed in, the beam of silver light would be able to miraculously find a gap and evade using that gap with perfect timing. Gradually, a figure within the beam of silver light could be seen.

Ions ejection!

By manipulating the microscopic particles to give himself a great boost in speed. His body regulated inertia by continuously somersaulting. Could this be a different method, yet led to the same result as the legendary somersault cloud of Sun Wukong?

In his heart, Feng Lin speculated that this must be the truth. He felt like he had seen through a certain key.

But now given the dangerous situation, he didn't have time to think too much.

The metal cudgel in his hand continued to slam out, widening the crack on the protective barrier unceasingly. The power within the energy core continued to seep out, manifesting the particle storm that engulfed the surrounding space.

The mechanical giant could also clearly sense that its energy was leaking. It was completely enraged and attacked violently.

The numerous metallic tentacles resembled the claws and fangs of demons and ghosts, crisscrossing in the air. The tentacles together were like a huge web that continued trying to trap Feng Lin.

This ability that enabled him to control the ions resembled the legendary somersault cloud. Feng Lin evaded deftly through the air, appearing to be in full control.

However, he gradually felt the pressure increasing.

The number of metallic tentacles increased, gradually locking down on the available space he could dodge to.

If there weren't any gaps, no matter how agile Feng Lin was, it would be useless.

This wasn't a solution if things continued like this.

Feng Lin's heart sank.

If this continued on, it would be equivalent to him going against the mechanical giant alone. The disparity between their strengths was like the heavens and earth. This was an objective truth that couldn't be mitigated no matter how strong a person's will was.

Feng Lin had to combine the strengths of everyone before they had a ray of hope.

He was decisive and didn't hesitate, instantly shouting out via his spirit force. His voice then rang out loud in the minds of everyone on the battlefield.

”The energy core of the mechanical giant is within its chest. I have already located the flaw. As long as we destroy the core, the mechanical giant will implode and die. The victory of this war would belong to us humans! Hurry, come and aid me!”

His voice echoed through all corners of the starry space. Everyone could hear him clearly.

Only then did everyone realize what was going on. They finally understood why the attacks and movements of the mechanical giant became so much slower.
