To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 352: Chapter 219: The Dim Hope of a Decisive Battle (Part 2)_2

The corruption within the game once begun could not be halted, which led Xiemen Waidao to realize it was time to make his own sacrifice.

“Monkey, how many levels are you on now?” Xiemen Waidao asked.

“10 levels.”

“So you’ve graduated.”

All the component chips that could be obtained had already been acquired in the earlier stages, and the following ten levels were more like a bonus phase; in fact, there was no need to continue.

For the time that followed, all that was needed was to calmly experience the storyline.

Reaching the tenth level in such a short time showed Monkey’s strength was indeed extraordinary.

It was also fortunate that the other party was part of the staff, unable to compete in the competition, otherwise Xiemen Waidao could only have contended for second or third place.

The 2 million US dollars for second place would allow him to live in comfort for a long time and also give him the opportunity to further contemplate what he should do next.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As an entertainment-focused player, Xiemen Waidao rarely admired anyone, for no matter how formidable the opponent, he could always think of all sorts of ways to bring them down with underhanded tricks.

But Monkey…

With attributes so high on the panel, if you couldn’t beat him, you just couldn’t.

As he reflected, he used the last of the Ancient Tree Network’s strength.

Subsequently, his mecha began to melt.

As the mecha melted and began to burn, the purification chips prepared in advance took effect. The corrupted parts were directly incinerated, while the remaining parts connected with the entire network, further enhancing the strength of the network.

At that moment, he was the Ancient Tree Network, and the Ancient Tree Network was him.

After fully integrating into the Ancient Tree Network, Xiemen Waidao, like a drop of water merging into the sea, dissipated without a trace in the vast network.

Yet, he could feel himself becoming immensely powerful, deconstructing and decomposing all the mechas on the Tower of Competition. Except for Teddy Bear and Monkey, he did not leave any mecha for the King of Destruction.

Finally, he began to gather his own strength, which coiled around the King of Destruction’s mecha, and by sacrificing himself, brought a very obvious negative effect to the King of Destruction’s mecha.

The green force field created a semi-permanent effect, like viscous slime hanging onto the King of Destruction, binding him at every moment, temporarily unable to break free.

Xiemen Waidao’s actions silenced the King of Destruction for a while.

Then, facing the Tower of Competition, it solemnly reflected, “I had thought all carbon-based lifeforms were despicable and insignificant, but I must admit, the two champions I have met are both selflessly devoted and sacrificial. I am the King of Destruction, the emperor of the mecha world, an Artificial Artifact Spirit, the ultimate creation of mechanical ascension, the only god of this world, the King of Destruction.”

At this point, the King of Destruction had invaded the network, letting everyone hear its voice.

After introducing itself, the King of Destruction continued, “The future belongs to machinery, not flesh. The shortcomings of flesh are far too many. You need purification. You hold the apex of the ecological pyramid, but you have forgotten evolution. Now, let me correct this error.”

The cold voice rose, and its cruel murderous intent felt almost tangible, paralyzing all animals and plants with fear.

Subsequently, a multitude of Corrupted Mechas appeared and plunged toward the ground.

A bloody purge was about to unfold, and the inhabitants of the Tower of Competition would be completely annihilated by this violence.

But just as the battle was about to commence, the Artificial Artifact Spirit spoke again, “But the two champions have made me see that there is still a chance for your salvation. It seems there is one among you who is like me. Its pilot is Monkey, and it is Teddy Bear. If you hand it over to me, I will consider sparing you all.”

At this crucial moment, the committee members of the Tower of Competition were already scared out of their wits.

Their legs trembled and they were on the verge of crying.

Yet even so, faced with the demand from the King of Destruction, they resolutely said, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

The opponent was already directly in their face, having just made a mecha sacrifice to the heavens, possessing such formidable strength that was frightening and brought despair.

But even so, they were still unwilling to hand over a single person.

“Not only that, but they also looked up at the mechas in the sky and said, ‘We won’t believe the words of a murderous lunatic, nor do we need to sacrifice one of our own to ensure our safety. We’re even less inclined to believe you’ll keep your promise. If death is the inevitable outcome, we’d rather die with dignity than grovel for life at your feet.'”

Touched by their response, Teddy Bear, who was in the midst of having new parts installed, actually felt a bit moved.

“Although they wanted to run away before, I’ve forgiven them now.”

“Me too,” Monkey said, “Even though the committee members often don’t act human and occasionally stir up some mischief, they do have a bottom line when it comes to important issues.”

At that moment, Teddy Bear was once again dismantled, its head suspended in midair, with Monkey operating a mini mecha below, replacing its body parts.

This scene looked somewhat horrifying, and Teddy Bear initially thought so too, but over time it became accustomed to it.

It could no longer recall how many times its parts had been replaced, only aware that its strength was constantly increasing, and its rapport with Monkey was continuously strengthening.

Their power was growing unceasingly, and combat had ceased to be a trial and instead had become an enjoyment. Teddy Bear felt that it and Monkey were a perfect match, destined to pilot the mecha and brag away, boasting all along the journey.

Although still a Baby Artifact Spirit, Teddy Bear felt that this is the life an Artifact Spirit should live!

An Artifact Spirit should find a badass pilot to fly with.

It had already noticed that it had no challengers left in the arena, their only enemy remaining was that colossal figure in the sky, the King of Destruction.

The thirst for battle caused it to shiver, the anticipation of the imminent final showdown made it restless. Although aware of the possibility of defeat, what Teddy Bear felt it needed now was not just another fight, but an exhilarating battle to ultimately prove it was no worse than any other singular Artifact Spirit!

Unlike the impassioned and excited Teddy Bear, who was still enthusiastically yelling while hanging in midair, Monkey was extremely calm.

He was born to challenge the mighty, the stronger the opponent, the calmer he became.

Although he was eager to go out and challenge the King of Destruction again, he still meticulously inspected Teddy Bear, only to find that the success rate wasn’t high.

The opponent’s power was beyond imagination, and whether Teddy Bear could cope with Corrupted Mechas was still unknown, but there was no turning back now.

Liuzi had already given his orders, and so had Xiemen Waidao. They had exhausted all their efforts to reach this point for the sake of one Easter egg.

Having reassembled Teddy Bear, Monkey asked, “All set, how do you feel now?”

By this time, Teddy Bear had evolved into a towering mecha, twenty meters in height.

Its components were also massive, and Monkey even had to don a specially made mini mecha to transport the parts over and assemble them into the mecha.

Teddy Bear had now evolved into a true Mecha, with six chip slots filled with essential chips, and its body parts replaced with the latest models.

The Demon God chip had also been obtained. This chip, crucial for combating the colossal mechas, was indispensably needed for battle, and it was their hope for turning the tide.

For this battle, neither Liuzi nor Xiemen Waidao could offer much advice.

After all, Monkey’s strength was evident, only he could take on the King of Destruction above and lead them to see the end.

“Monkey, give it your all!” Liuzi said.

“It’s no big deal if we lose, we can just pin the blame on Liuzi,” Xiemen Waidao said.

“Shut up!”

Monkey then declared he had no issues, then doffed the mini mecha and crawled inside Teddy Bear.

As the nervous systems interconnected, Monkey heard Teddy Bear’s voice ringing in his ear, “Ready, Partner?”

“Ready.”

“Then, let’s go.”

The power furnace fired up, Teddy Bear’s eyes blazed with brilliant light, and the ape-like mecha burst through the walls, charging towards the King of Destruction in the sky.
