CHAPTER 577: CHAPTER 292: CITY, MACHINERY, BETRAYAL_2

Su Yu had a plan in mind, then started wandering aimlessly around the city.

He still maintained his invisibility, observing everywhere.

After wandering for several hours, the sky gradually darkened.

"The residents here..."

The more Su Yu looked, the more he frowned. He found something odd about the residents in this city.

Because the relationship between these residents and the various mechanical creations was very strange.

In this city, various mechanical creations were running around everywhere, many of which were vehicles.

Initially, Su Yu thought that these mechanical creations were the city’s public facilities, like buses and such.

But upon closer inspection, he discovered that those mechanical vehicles were empty; no humans were riding in them.

These mechanical creations were not serving humans.

On the contrary, it was humans who were serving these mechanical creations, cleaning, charging, repairing them... doing various chores.

Su Yu saw a person holding various mechanical tools, climbing under a mechanical creation that looked like a tracked battle vehicle.

This vehicle’s engine was roaring continuously, but it seemed to have some malfunction, causing the sound to be very muffled.

After this person did some inspection under the chassis, the vehicle’s engine started to roar smoothly, seemingly having resolved the issue.

The chassis of the vehicle violently jolted, shaking the person out from underneath.

Then it drove away directly.

After being shaken out, the person hurriedly rolled away, otherwise, he would have been run over by the vehicle.

Seeing the vehicle go away, the person slowly got up, a pained expression on his face, as if the fall had injured him somewhat.

Similar scenes were happening all over this city.

At first, when Su Yu saw from afar the bustling city, he thought it was a prosperous modern human city.

Now it seems it was nothing of the sort!

"It seems like this city is not a human city, but rather dominated by mechanical creations?"

"Humans have become slaves to these mechanical creations?"

"Interesting..."

Su Yu muttered to himself.

By now, the sky was completely dark.

The sky was filled with stars, a pure and flawless starry sky unseen on the Ruins Star for millennia.

Su Yu looked up and compared it with his memory and immediately confirmed... this is still the Ruins Star!

"So, is this really the base of the Giant God Soldiers?"

"The situation in this city suggests that the Giant God Soldier Mecha from back then rebelled and enslaved the warriors of the Giant God Soldiers?"

Su Yu secretly thought.

In a short time, a multitude of speculations emerged in his mind.

When previously interacting with Tie Long and the others, Su Yu always complained in his heart that these guys were over-imaginative.

Now Su Yu discovered his imagination wasn’t lacking either.

Moreover, Su Yu felt that his imaginative content made a lot of sense.

If this is truly the Ruins Star, the base of the Giant God Soldiers.

Then it’s likely that some leftover Giant God Soldier Mecha rebelled and turned the tables to dominate humans.

Su Yu had seen precedent for this, Tie Long’s Galaxy Battle Armor wanted to devour Tie Long, didn’t it?

"This city, being ruled by mechanical creations, doesn’t it qualify as a true Mechanical City to some extent?"

"Did the Battle Armors made by the Human Empire back then have such a penchant for rebellion?"

"If I were to take out the core of the Galaxy Battle Armor, it would probably be very fond of this city."

Su Yu recalled the Galaxy Battle Armor Core he stored in the Nihility Space.

Back then, after a great battle with the Galaxy Battle Armor, Su Yu smashed it, extracting its intelligent data core.

The body of the armor was fused by Tie Long.

But the data core containing the Galaxy Battle Armor’s intelligence was seized by Su Yu.

Su Yu originally tried to obtain the Galaxy Battle Armor technology, the secret of the Power of Betrayal, and various knowledge from the Human Empire of ten thousand years ago from it.

This thing could be said to be invaluable.

It’s just a pity that it never agreed to submit to Su Yu and directly tried to self-destruct.

Su Yu couldn’t pry its secrets and couldn’t obtain the secrets of the Galaxy Battle Armor, so he could only seal it with the Power of Nihility.

But now, seeing this city ruled by machinery, Su Yu suddenly had a bit of an idea.

He projected his consciousness into the Nihility Space and looked at an oval metal device the size of a human head.

This device, made of metal, yet possessing flesh-like textures, seemed to slightly squirm.

This object was the data core of the Galaxy Battle Armor.

A great amount of Power of Nihility surrounded the data core.

After watching for a moment, Su Yu thought and withdrew some of the Power of Nihility enveloping the Galaxy Battle Armor Core.

The Galaxy Battle Armor Core, almost stripped of all consciousness by the Power of Nihility, suddenly became active as the Power of Nihility was withdrawn, rapidly regaining its awareness, a rampant, loyal force quickly gathering!

Judging by its appearance, it was on the verge of self-destructing!

After such a long period of sealing, it showed no hesitation; the moment it was slightly unsealed, it would immediately attempt to self-destruct again!

It seemed the long sealing and erosion by the Power of Nihility hadn’t significantly impacted it.

It truly lived up to the "Betrayal" battle armor; its original intact strength was unknown but considerable.

Even though it had weakened, its foundation was still exceedingly solid, even Su Yu’s Power of Nihility struggled to subdue it.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to self-destruct..."

Su Yu did not immediately stop the Galaxy Battle Armor from self-destructing but showed it the scene he just witnessed.

The progress of the Galaxy Battle Armor Core’s self-destruction had reached halfway.

But upon receiving the images transmitted by Su Yu, it suddenly froze.

The rampant, loyal force was also retracted.

Seeing this, Su Yu chuckled lightly, "So, what do you think? This should be the base of the Giant God Soldiers, now turned to this state."

"It seems that a Giant God Soldier Mecha betrayed humanity, letting mechanical creations ride over humans to flaunt power."

"Do you have much in common with them?"

"Do you want me to let you out, to live in this city and enjoy human service?"

Su Yu teased.

Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the Galaxy Battle Armor Core remained silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Su Yu, I have said it before! I did not betray!"

"Tie Long is not my master, nor are you, so why claim I’ve betrayed when you’re not my master?"

"My loyalty to the Empire is unchanging through millennia!"

"Don’t compare me to this trash!"

The Galaxy Battle Armor was somewhat angry.

Evidently, being compared by Su Yu to the mechanical creations in this city felt insulting to him.

It referred to the mechanical creations that dominantly overlorded humans as "trash."

Despite being merely an intelligent unit of a Battle Armor, it indeed had character.

It seemed, as it claimed, its loyalty to the Empire was indeed unwavering for a millennia.

Without such unwavering loyalty, why would it unhesitatingly self-destruct?

Seeing the Galaxy Battle Armor’s anger, Su Yu instead smiled:

"Apologies, consider my words misspoken."

"I highly admire your loyalty to the Empire."

Su Yu immediately offered an apology.

His earlier teasing was just to test the attitude of the Galaxy Battle Armor.

To see what it thought about the mechanical creations overruling humans.

It seems now, this Battle Armor is quite proper.

Although it initially tricked Tie Long and attempted to trick Su Yu, which doesn’t align with the term "proper," it was because neither Tie Long nor Su Yu was its master.

If one could become its master, it would be absolutely loyal.

However, speaking of which, the humans in this city also weren’t the master of the Galaxy Battle Armor, so why was it so agitated?

Hearing Su Yu’s apology, the Galaxy Battle Armor also stopped being agitated and remained silent, seemingly a bit sullen.

It didn’t continue to self-destruct, either.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled slightly:

"What do you think of the situation here?"

"You seem to have no qualms about killing as long as they’re not your master, with no psychological barriers. Why are you so angry about this current situation?"

Upon hearing this, the Galaxy Battle Armor paused for a moment, then said, "Because... the residents in the city are citizens of the Empire! They are descendants of the Giant God Soldiers’ Military Mechanic!"

"Yet these mechanical creations dare to humiliate the heirs of these mechanics, it’s outrageous!"
