Chapter 732: You Will Pay a Price You Can't Afford

This question caught even Lynn, a silver-tongued smooth talker, completely off guard. He had no idea how to answer.

If he were to give the correct answer, then of course it was nothing.

But was that the real issue here?

No. The real issue was that he absolutely couldn't let the naive Little One get curious about this strange behavior. Otherwise, if one day Little One suddenly became curious and wanted to explore the topic with him, would he accept or not?

So this simply wasn't a question worth discussing.

Seeing Little One's curious gaze, Lynn turned serious. He patted her head and lectured her like a doting father:

"Of course there's nothing like that! Because that's something you can only do after you've grown up. So Little One, don't think about this question for now. And in most cases, only boyfriends and girlfriends who have a really close relationship do things like that—for example, Little One's daddy and mommy. Understand?"

Little One nodded blankly, clearly still not very clear on the matter.

Because even though the doctor brother said that.

But clearly, the relationship between the doctor brother and that big tree didn't seem all that good either.

Since they could do what the doctor brother just described even without having a good relationship, then why couldn't Little One and the doctor brother do it, given how close they were?

"Is it because I haven't grown up yet?"

Little One silently asked herself.

But since her brother didn't want to continue discussing this topic, of course she wouldn't pester the doctor brother about it. She was always very obedient.

But it was so strange.

Because Mommy said Little One had already grown up a long time ago, yet Daddy said Little One was still very small.

So confusing...

Still, she could ask more about it after they got back.

"Little One! Let's speed up!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Snapping back to attention immediately without any hesitation, Little One charged forward like a heavy-duty rail train, racing back the way they came.

...

It didn't take long before they could see from afar the God of All Machines' massive mechanical dragon head.

And clearly, in just those few short minutes, the God of All Machines had been tormented severely by Wushen Head's voodoo curse. Black mist flickered continuously across the massive dragon head's surface, clearly showing that he had been saddled with a whole pile of negative status effects.

On the vast wilderness.

Opposite the God of All Machines, blood and chains danced wildly. The silver-haired girl was like a blood moon swirling in the black mist, her eyes icy cold. Her petite fists, possessing the terrifying might of a bright moon, launched a relentless storm of physical blows against the God of All Machines.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Desire Mother Tree's massive trunk occupied the northeast corner, her frenzied vines continuously assaulting the God of All Machines.

Clearly.

During the time Lynn had been gone, Colossus's Brain and Desire Mother Tree had briefly reached a consensus, jointly holding back the God of All Machines' terrifying onslaught.

"Damn it!!"

The God of All Machines forcefully blocked the silver-haired girl's storm-like assault, fury blazing in his eyes.

If they were talking about raw strength.

Even with Desire Mother Tree and Colossus's Brain combined, they wouldn't be his match. He knew very well that the newly cursed Colossus's Brain couldn't possibly unleash its full power. This was absolutely the best chance to suppress them all at once.

But with another Root secretly cursing him from the shadows, his chances of achieving his goal under this coordinated assault were infinitely low.

"So it really is that Wushen! I knew it—if that Titan Giant God had appeared, there was no reason for her not to show up too!"

The tide had turned!

He knew that staying here any longer was pointless. Even as strong as he was, he couldn't face three Roots head-on and suppress them all!

Not to mention.

That mad Titan Head was still nearby. Once he finished dealing with Flesh and Blood Dominator, he would definitely come for him next!

Roar————!

A deafening dragon roar.

Rolling dragon breath forcefully repelled the attacks from Desire Mother Tree and Colossus's Brain.

"Colossus! Desire Mother Tree! I won't let you off! We still have a long time to play, and sooner or later, I'll have the chance to crush every last one of you! Just you wait!"

His eyes were filled with madness.

Without any further hesitation.

The God of All Machines' massive head retreated, the enormous rift spanning the sky beginning to close as he prepared to withdraw.

But right at that moment, a loud shout rang out from afar.

"Running before the fight's over?! God of All Machines, do you think it's that easy?"

Boom—

With a deafening crash, Little One's head slammed over like a cannonball. Lynn, standing atop Little One's head, leaped up with a cold sneer. This bastard had almost crushed them just moments ago—how could Lynn possibly let him escape unscathed?

If he didn't strip off at least a layer of his skin, then Lynn's name wouldn't be Lynn!

"Auntie! Drive a spike into his neck and show this bastard what pain means!"

Lynn roared, rolling to the ground and charging at full speed toward the God of All Machines.

And almost at the same moment.

Beyond the Sight's boundary, the massive tentacle curled around the iron spike and struck viciously at the wound on the mechanical dragon's neck.

Roar————!!

A miserable dragon roar that shook the heavens erupted. Countless electrical sparks exploded from the massive dragon head's neck, and the intense pain stabbing straight into his Origin instantly interrupted his process of closing the rift.

Fury blazed in his enormous pupils as his gaze locked onto the tiny human racing toward him on the ground. He snarled with wild rage:

"Human! Don't push me too far!"

Lynn pinched his monocle, a sinister smirk on his face as he sprinted toward him:

"Oh? When you were trying to kill me just now, I didn't hear you saying that. Don't you find it ironic to say that now?"

A furious roar exploded.

The God of All Machines' massive claw tore through the rolling black mist, lunging toward Lynn to rip him apart.

"I'll kill you!!"

The claw was immeasurably larger than Lynn—the entire sky was swallowed by its enormous shadow. But Lynn didn't stop running. There was no fear in his eyes. He smiled calmly, pulling his giant scythe from the System Space as he said:

"God of All Machines, do you remember what I once told you? I said you wouldn't dare touch me. If you did, you would pay a heavy price you couldn't afford!"

"Now I'll tell you the exact same thing again."

"Because in this Dark World, what matters isn't just individual strength, but also the friends and family who are willing to stand by your side and treat you well. As long as you trust them, they will forever be your unbreakable backing!"

Boom—

A massive explosion thundered out. Blood-red lightning spread wildly.

The silver-haired girl, chains dancing around her, struck out with an icy fist in the instant before the giant claw could descend, blocking the crushing weight that loomed over everything.

Lynn still didn't stop running forward. A faint smile played on his lips as he crossed the area shadowed by the claw, gazing up at him and saying:

"Just like now, God of All Machines."

"I'm standing right in front of you. I have no more trump cards left. And yet, you still can't kill me!"

"A loner like you can never understand the true meaning of strength! You're not the protagonist of this era. You can't crush all the heavens. So what makes you think you can achieve your so-called Trinity relying on yourself alone?"
