Chapter 718: The Confrontation of the Six Roots

In an instant, the surging black mist scattered.

High above, the silver-haired girl dancing with chains suddenly raised her head, her gaze sharp as lightning. Clutching Lynn’s hand, she floated in midair, her eyes sweeping instantly over the God of All Machines and the distant Flesh and Blood Dominator.

A terrifying aura, accompanied by turbulent fluctuations, radiated outward.

And upon witnessing that scene, Sir Aiwen and the others abruptly halted in their tracks, their pupils constricting as they too felt the dreadful yet familiar energy emanating from the girl.

“Colossus!”

In that moment, they immediately recognized the identity of that figure.

Colossus’s Brain!

It had been cursed by hell, and now had officially transformed into a Root?!

And as they watched the youth held by the girl’s hand, hovering in the air, aside from his right eye still bleeding, there was not a single scratch on the rest of his body—clear and vivid, full of vitality.

Lynn was still alive!

In the distant sky, the God of All Machines’ massive eyes narrowed, fixedly staring at the silver-haired girl standing calmly and undisturbed in the void.

His heart finally sank.

Though her form was different, the aura she exuded undeniably proved she was Colossus’s Brain, no doubt about it.

“Colossus!”

The God of All Machines rasped those two hoarse words from deep in his throat.

The silver-haired girl gazed at him without emotion, said calmly: “It’s me. Long time no see, old friend.”

Though Lynn had made her body so petite, every word from her mouth still carried the majesty and authority of the Colossus that once stood proud against the heavens.

That overwhelming divine might even caused the air across the entire battlefield to freeze.

In the far sky, the Flesh and Blood Dominator’s massive eyeball reflected her image, sneering mockingly: “One wrong move, and the whole game is lost. That human must have played a big part in your transformation into a Root. If I’d known, I’d have killed him before he could cause trouble! But it’s not too late now. You’ve just transformed into a Root; your power probably hasn’t stabilized yet. Devouring you now might incur backlash from the curse, but it should still be within an acceptable range, right?”

On the ground, the twisted vines writhed. The Desire Mother Tree did not reveal herself, but Lynn could still clearly sense a pair of eyes fixed on him from the shadows.

The silver-haired girl slowly turned, glancing sidelong at the distant Flesh and Blood Dominator, and said without any fluctuation: “I remember you.”

The Flesh and Blood Dominator sneered: “Oh?”

The silver-haired girl turned back calmly, her fingers slowly stroking the chains on her body as she looked down in his direction, said: “Over a thousand years ago, I sensed your power. You’ve been trying to corrupt my guardians ever since, and you succeeded. All the favored ones I gathered in this hell—dead or driven mad—are all thanks to you.”

“You’ve always been delusional about eroding the Colossus’s Tower. If not for your interference, how could I have fallen to such a state?”

At these words, all surrounding creatures trembled.

Lynn’s gaze flickered, immediately falling on the distant city that had long been reduced to ruins by the great battle.

Could it be that this so-called Cursed City was built by the favored ones Colossus’s Brain had gathered before its slumber?

He recalled the scene he had seen when first setting foot in that city.

Towering skyscrapers, the wreckage of a Technological Civilization.

And Colossus’s Tower was located underground at the very center of the city—that alone was enough to explain the situation.

The Flesh and Blood Dominator’s gaze flickered, mocking: “Heh, I only did what the Jailers were bound to do. Though I didn’t completely dismantle your hiding, I gained no small amount of authority. You must understand, gods are forbidden in hell. And now, with the curse on you, hasn’t it proven that everything you did was in vain?”

Lynn looked up, gazing at the girl’s calm, expressionless profile.

She said nothing.

But he could already feel the Colossus’s exceptionally frenzied blood energy surging around them.

The Flesh and Blood Dominator sneered as he retreated, said: “God of All Machines, I know you see us as mortal enemies, but compared to the opportunity of the Trinity, we hell’s flesh and blood don’t count for much, do they? As you can see, now is your best chance. Cyber’s curse won’t let him last much longer. Though the Colossus is also cursed, as long as we can achieve the Trinity, what does that matter?”

The God of All Machines’ gaze grew increasingly dangerous.

The Dominator continued with a cold laugh: “You take her knowledge, we carve up her flesh. Now we have common interests, don’t we?”

Then its massive eyeball turned mockingly toward the writhing, twisted vines on the ground.

“And you, my Mother Tree. It’s truly a pity you missed your chance. If you had found her first, without the Colossus’s Heart to activate her, that would have been your best opportunity to devour her. But it’s not too late now.”

“You haven’t told them yet, have you? Your origin, twisted from life and nature, allows you to keep growing through devouring. Though the Colossus is now cursed, given enough time, you can minimize the curse’s impact on you, can’t you? Isn’t that how you grew stronger step by step back then? Hmm?”

At these words, Lynn’s gaze immediately fell on those twisted vines.

In that moment.

He finally understood why the Desire Mother Tree was so obsessed with finding Colossus’s Brain.

Devouring and assimilation?

So that was it.

No wonder it’s the twisted nature.

If what that Dominator said was true, an uncursed Colossus’s Brain would indeed be the purest nourishment for her.

"You’ve always been delusional about eroding the Colossus's Tower. If not for your interference, how could I have fallen to such a state?"

She must hate him to the bone right now.

The Desire Mother Tree’s cold voice rang out in the surroundings: “No need for you to say it. I know.”

The Flesh and Blood Dominator let out a hoarse, cold laugh.

And clearly.

After his words, the atmosphere on the field turned even more sinister.

The gazes of those three Roots all fell on them, clearly converging into a united front.

The God of All Machines’ eyes flickered. Under normal circumstances, he would never ally with the Flesh and Blood Root, but the temptation of the Trinity was greater to him than the heavens themselves. And as the Flesh and Blood Dominator said, today was his best chance for success.

Subtly.

The three Roots had already formed a encirclement around them.

Without any hesitation, Sir Aiwen and Little One instantly charged into the Fray, turning to face the three Roots, their expressions grave and murderous.

“Don’t worry, you still have us.”
