The energy patterns of its dim blue frame suddenly burst into fierce light, and the entire mechanical body began rapid transformation.
The original humanoid structure decomposed and reorganized into a multifunctional war machine.
Six pairs of metal wings unfolded from its back, each equipped with different types of weapon systems at their tips.
The Energy Core in its chest began to spin rapidly, causing slight distortions in the surrounding space due to energy overload.
"Target locked."
A mechanized voice sounded, yet the threat it contained made all the enemies present wary:
"Commencing eradication operations."
Six pairs of wings fired simultaneously, but what was launched weren’t ordinary energy beams, rather highly compressed Aura of Chaos.
Karola’s Plant Legion bore the brunt.
Those seemingly mighty man-eating flowers and decaying ancient trees were as fragile as paper before the high concentration Aura of Chaos.
Plants caught in the spread didn’t just die; they were erased from existence, with not even a chance to regenerate.
"To infuse one’s creations with their own essence, controlling one’s power with such precision..."
For the first time, a note of gravity entered Maggs’ voice:
"Could it be that Nari has taken that step while I was unaware?"
The jeers from the audience had already disappeared without a trace, replaced by an increasing atmosphere of fear.
Everyone began to realize that Nari’s Legion was not at all what it appeared to be at face value.
These three "weak" existences each held terrible abilities capable of overturning the tide of battle.
Beside them, the three Apostles - Delir, Kempes, and Kro - were also intently observing the situation on the field.
"Interesting..." Delir saw the heavy casualties among his subordinates, yet there was no sign of anger in his green fire-lit eyes:
"Nari actually dares to openly showcase her ’new power’, either out of extreme confidence, or..."
"Or she’s set a trap."
Kempes picked up the thread, his body lightly tremoring in different spaces:
"But regardless, it’s a perfect opportunity to observe."
Kro remained silent, simply observing quietly, the cracks of time faintly appearing at his fingertips.
On the west side of the arena, the slowly advancing legion of the last entrant, Alpha, made its way forward.
The appearance of "Thought Worm" Alpha was unsettling.
Her body was entirely woven from countless silver neural fibers, each ending connected to a micro-brain, suspended like fruits.
These brains varied in size, some from humans, others from demons, and some belonging to unidentifiable alien beings.
Whenever she made a move, hundreds of brains pulsed in unison, emitting a dizzying mental wave.
What she commanded was a hundred activated mazes.
These mazes appeared like miniature architectural models.
But upon closer observation, it became clear that the walls of each maze were slowly writhing, with passage structures constantly changing.
They emitted eerie Spiritual Energy, instantly dragging any consciousness attempting to observe their internal structures into a complex mental trap.
"Alpha’s Consciousness Maze Legion..." whispers spread across the audience:
"Each maze is an isolated spiritual prison, having trapped the souls of many a Silver Ring explorer before."
"Can those little gadgets of Nari’s handle them?"
As a hundred consciousness mazes approached, they simultaneously activated, each projecting a distorted Spiritual Force Field.
These fields layered upon each other, forming a massive consciousness trap, attempting to drag the enemy’s consciousness into an endless maze.
——Spiritual Prison: A Thousand-fold Obstacle
The consciousness mazes emitted a sharp mental scream, silver threads of thought shooting like a rain of arrows toward Nari’s Legion.
Sonic Jellyfish bore the brunt of the attack.
The moment the silver threads made contact, the jellyfish began to tremble violently, their internal rainbow lights turning chaotic.
"Ha! The first batch is about to fall!" excited cries came from the audience.
But to everyone’s surprise, the Sonic Jellyfish quickly stabilized.
Their consciousness structure, pure to the point of being nearly blank, instead became the best form of defense.
The mental mazes couldn’t establish sufficiently complex traps within such a simple consciousness, akin to trying to engrave a complex pattern onto a smooth mirror in vain.
"Impossible?" Alpha was shocked to find her subordinates’ trump card failed:
"How could the consciousness of these lowly creatures..."
What’s more, the Sonic Jellyfish began to counterattack.
They collectively emitted a special sound frequency, which directly interfered with the propagation of mental waves.
The carefully woven maze networks by Alpha began to exhibit unstable fluctuations.
"Sonic Interference?" Delir squinted his eyes: "An interesting tactical combination..."
Explorer One Golem seized the opportunity to attack.
The Energy Core in its chest suddenly emitted a powerful pulse wave, specifically targeting and damaging mental constructs.
——Disruptive Pulse!
The powerful disruptive wave swept across the battlefield, causing over a dozen consciousness mazes to lose their stability, with internal mental circuits beginning to collapse.
"My maze!" Alpha shrieked in agony, smoke wafting from the neural fibers connecting to the mazes.
The discussions among the audience became more complex:
"It’s effective? That robot’s level of modification is higher than imagined..."
"The Sonic Jellyfish’s coordination is also quite clever, their simple consciousness turned out to be an advantage..."
"But that’s still far from enough; Alpha’s main force hasn’t even been deployed yet!"
