Chapter 268: Loyal Mech-Servant, Greatly Cunning

"Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"The Law of the jungle is the fundamental principle of the Universe!"

"What does it matter if I kill? What does it matter if I destroy?"

The Mech-Servant's philosophy of cleansing the starry sky naturally drew mockery and contempt from many civilizations.

She remained expressionless.

She continuously occupied new resource star systems, letting the Intelligent Machines complete replication and production until more and larger fleets were formed to launch an all-out attack on the cosmic sea of stars.

Benefiting from The Ranchers' stellar modification technology.

Under Ele's command, there were now some mobile heavy-duty celestial bodies that possessed destructive power while also being quite practical.

Such as planetary fortresses equipped with Warp Drive.

Stellar warehouses that acted as large-scale energy sources.

Neutron War Stars equipped with spatial weapons and possessing the strongest defense.

Besides that, Ele's main fleet was also upgraded, fully replacing its spatial technology.

For offense, there were spatial cleavage devices.

For defense, there were spatial distortion devices.

In terms of engines, based on The Ranchers' dimensional technology, she began climbing the technology tree for dimensional engines, hoping to perform dimensional reduction strikes and dimensional jumps in the future.

"Master, please wait a moment…"

"Ele will clear a clean enough starry sky for you to welcome your return…"

The endless eternal war began, with the flames of war spreading across countless galaxies and, as Ele's technology developed, expanding to even more distant places.

That incredible war potential and highly unified planning and command.

Even the Interstellar Zerg, who were also a natural disaster and had not been suppressed, could not gain any advantage from Ele.

Spacetime stagnation, quantum black holes, dimensional reduction strikes.

Sensing how troublesome the Mech-Servant was.

The hostile civilizations finally unleashed a truly lethal attack, an attack capable of heavily damaging or even erasing the existence of the machine spirit.

Ele neared death several times, making the coalition of civilizations see the dawn of victory.

However.

The loyal Mech-Servant was also greatly cunning.

Whenever the coalition of civilizations thought Ele was doomed, she could always retreat at the perfect moment.

The more she fought, the stronger she became, endless and infinite.

Who knows how much time had passed.

"Die," the true apex civilization of the material Universe descended and used a Karma Law weapon; even so, the Mech-Servant did not suffer defeat.

The supposedly cold machine spirit had been endowed with unique humanity and had been tempered by the passage of time.

Now, it had long transcended the limitations of the Universe's Law.

In Ele's memories, regarding this situation, Xu Xi had a common phrase: "If it isn't off, does that mean it's on?"

"Rumble—!"

"Rumble—!"

In the very end, during the ultimate, intense battle of the Universe, the apex civilization and the loyal Mech-Servant both used a massive amount of dimensional weapons.

The Universe therefore underwent dimensional reduction and collapsed.

There was no height, no length, no width.

The zero-dimensional Universe was thus born.

The originally brilliant sea of stars disappeared, losing its color, losing the concept of spacetime, leaving only pure gray silence.

"…" It was an incredible scene; the infinite Universe turned into a finite point, losing its mass completely in a nearly invisible state.

Chaos is fickle; whenever Chaos currents washed over it, that tiny point of the Universe would reveal a light, drifting posture.

Chaos does not count years.

Perhaps only a fleeting moment had passed, or perhaps long eons had gone by.

Unknown to when, behind the zero-dimensional Universe, two palms slowly emerged, looking very illusory and appearing semi-transparent.

With a half-closed gesture, they gently covered the zero-dimensional Universe.

To prevent the tiny point from being washed away by Chaos.

"…Master."

"…Ele is always waiting for your command."

"…Waiting for you… to use… Ele… once again…"

Noisy, blurry, the voice sounded intermittently.

The changes of time are always the most magical; after an unknown amount of time, the illusory palms began to materialize, no longer transparent, shimmering with miraculous fluorescence.

They closed completely with a gentle gesture.

The zero-dimensional Universe thus fell silent.

Such an extreme change created the appearance of another extreme.

Light flickered, a brilliant gold and silver, shining through the gaps between the closed palms, illuminating and dispersing the surrounding gray Chaos mist.

The eternally transcendent Mech-Servant slowly released the shackles of her palms.

The light flew out.

Brilliant and dazzling.

A tiny singularity began to expand and grow within the Chaos.

Space, time, matter, energy.

The sum of everything, every concept, was generated along with the Big Bang of the singularity.

One dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions, four dimensions… nine dimensions, ten dimensions.

In the primordial Universe, time was distributed multidimensionally, shimmering with gorgeous, exotic colors; the collision and combination of countless elements, under the control of a Supreme will, possessed a brand-new form.

"Master, Ele has become just like you…"

"So… this is what shedding tears is like…"

"Just as you said, it is not a happy thing…"

In the gray Chaos spacetime, Ele quietly watched the ten-dimensional Universe floating in her palm, then lowered her head to look at her new body.

Her expression was very calm.

But silent tears had already fallen down both cheeks, crystalline and moist, shimmering with points of light.

The sorrow had never been forgotten, just trapped by the mechanical body, unable to be expressed in a physiological form.

Now, on the first day of rebirth.

The Mech-Servant welcomed her first time shedding tears.

She did not know where she should go, nor did she have anywhere she wanted to go; she only wanted to continue waiting for the important person to serve him once again.

————

In the real world, inside the quiet Courtyard, sunlight passed through the gaps in the leaves, forming rippling, interlaced light and shadow.

Xu Xi nodded from time to time, quietly listening to the explanations of the Witch and the Princess.

The existence of the beautiful life simulator was indeed too mysterious.

The two Supremes could not see through the truth.

But they captured the changes during the simulation.

"Mentor, you disappeared for a while…" Klisa said blankly, serving hot tea and desserts to Xu Xi.

The disappearance she spoke of did not refer to Xu Xi's body disappearing, but rather another invisible spacetime possibility that belonged solely to Xu Xi.

It sounded very profound.

But thinking about the spacetime lines encountered when the simulation started.

Xu Xi was thoughtful, somewhat understanding the Witch's explanation.

"I understand, thank you both for this time, Klisa, Yingxue."

"Hey, you're too polite, Sir."

"This is what I should do, Mentor."

The Princess giggled, the Witch was quiet.

Regarding the essence of the simulator, Xu Xi decided to think about it later; as for now, he returned to his room and opened it to check the settlement results of the fourth simulation.

[Ding-dong—]

[Fourth simulation statistics complete]
