Chapter 710: Fate Card Kill Successfully Eliminated, Night Ancient's Wariness

"This is... Mechanical Apostle Unit 23?"

The familiar name made Yu Yuan snap to attention.

Wasn't this the Mechanical Titan project that Mechanist Supremacy had been researching?

He hastily looked at the article content below.

[Mechanist Supremacy's Ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction! The Age of Mechanical Titans Has Arrived.]

After prolonged research, Mechanist Supremacy's secretly developed Mechanical Titan series, Mechanical Apostle Unit 23, was completed.

This wasn't just the 23rd Mechanical Titan completed by Mechanist Supremacy, it was also the first Mechanical Titan whose combat power could reach quasi-superdimensional level.

According to test data, Mechanical Apostle Unit 23 would possess roughly 30% to 50% of a superdimensional lifeform's combat power, and combined with the other Mechanical Titans, amplified by the Mechanical Matrix, it would gain the ability to contend head-on with superdimensional lifeforms.

Mechanist Supremacy held extremely high expectations for the Mechanical Titan series.

They were currently conducting simulations and final edits on the Mechanical Matrix. They had sensed that the Civilization Ladder was about to descend into chaos, and this would be their opportunity to seize more influence.

Meanwhile, the Blood Duke had also utilized a rare resource output point in the New World to forge a secret offensive-defensive alliance contract with them.

For Mechanist Supremacy as it stood now, all they needed was the right moment to enter the fray!

————————

Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Mechanist Supremacy and the Bloodlands have formed an offensive-defensive alliance!!!"

Well, damn.

Yu Yuan had been curious before about why the Blood Duke dared to launch faction wars against both the Blood Clan and the Fallen Abyss simultaneously.

Now it seemed the Blood Duke wasn't blinded by hatred, he had planned his contingencies long ago.

Mechanist Supremacy already had at least one being above Gold Rank, and now with this Mechanical Titan series and the Mechanical Matrix added on top...

If they suddenly plunged into the war, any faction targeted by them would be in for a world of hurt before they could even react.

The Blood Duke truly lived up to his reputation as the one suspected of scheming Mortarian to his death.

He really was a cunning old fox.

He'd thought of his backup plan before even declaring war.

Yu Yuan continued browsing the publication afterward.

But he didn't find a third news item, which left him slightly disappointed.

As for the Global News Weekly's news:

The major factions on the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet were collapsing one after another under the attacks of the Alpha and Knight.

Those who could be taken prisoner were captured, those who needed to be killed were eliminated.

Only a few final factions remained. As long as they were taken down, they'd secure actual control over the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet.

Yu Yuan wasn't in a hurry about this either. He was already quite satisfied with the current pace of advancement.

However, that Felda Revolutionary Army in Dead Mine Town had apparently already made brief contact with the reconnaissance squad the Alpha had sent out.

Naturally, the reconnaissance squad won a complete victory, but the Felda Revolutionary Army also detected the squad's presence.

They realized the Dawn Consortium might have met with misfortune.

They were preparing to send people to investigate the nuclear test site.

"Felda Revolutionary Army... Hmph!"

Yu Yuan sent this information to Quis.

Soon, Quis's reply came through, stating he would follow up on the matter and further reinforce the defensive systems at the nuclear test site.

Yu Yuan had great confidence in Quis's defensive talents.

With Quis involved, he doubted there would be any unexpected incidents.

"Still, once the Alpha takes the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet, it'll be time to deal with this Felda Revolutionary Army."

-

As the Frost Shimmer longsword pierced through the Half-Tree Man Tak's life core.

The Silver-tier lifeform fell unwillingly.

The long-missed tight drumbeat music rang out by Yu Yuan's ears.

-Crack

Before Yu Yuan's eyes, a silver-white Fate Card snapped apart at the middle, with fresh crimson blood seeping from the broken edges.

[Fate Card, Silver-tier Slaughter Card successfully eliminated, Fate Points +3]

[No valuable options detected from the target]

Yu Yuan was somewhat stunned, and the look he gave the Half-Tree Man's corpse before him turned disdainful.

"A dignified Silver-tier lifeform, and yet it has no valuable options. This is just..."

Yu Yuan found it hard to even complain.

Heaven knew how much he'd been looking forward to this Fate Card's reward.

He'd originally thought that the death of a Silver-tier lifeform would give him something big.

Instead, reality had dumped something big and stinky right in his lap.

"Leader, the invasion on my side is over. I got a Bronze-tier Civilization Treasure Chest. Also, Duke Night Ancient sent me a message asking about Tak and the Molten Demons."

Yu Yuan nodded.

"Just reply as we discussed."

"Got it!"

The victory in Moon Shadow's Breath's Civilization War immediately attracted the attention of many on the Civilization Ladder.

Ever since the last Civilization Relic incident, Moon Shadow's Breath had remained at the center of attention for many players.

She was also the core factor behind the Blood Clan's war with the Bloodlands, and now the Bloodlands' war with the Fallen Abyss.

Although Moon Shadow's Breath was just a player who had recently advanced to Silver Rank, her existence had already drawn the attention of many Gold-tier players.

On the Civilization Ladder channel, the Blood Clan was simultaneously mocking the Bloodlands.

After all, two veteran Silver-tier players in a row had fallen at Moon Shadow's Breath's hands.

That was certainly enough to make jaws drop.

The players grew increasingly wary of Moon Shadow's Breath.

Especially considering the information Tak had leaked on the Civilization Ladder before, if Molten Demons really were helping Moon Shadow's Breath...

Then Moon Shadow's Breath was a trap set by the Fallen Abyss and the Blood Clan, and as for the trap's prey, naturally, that would be the Blood Duke.

Under these circumstances, not to mention people from other factions, even the players from the Bloodlands themselves began to play deaf and dumb.

No one would willingly walk into such an obvious suicide mission.

Night Ancient was also somewhat baffled.

[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Duke, you said Tak claimed on the Civilization Ladder that I colluded with Molten Demons to attack him?]

[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Slander, this is blatant slander! It was clearly his world that harbored a Silver-tier Molten Demon. If I hadn't expended two Gold-tier items, plus the items you provided me last time, I would have been the one dead this time!]

And below the chat messages were dozens of photos Moon Shadow's Breath had sent.

Looking at the Blood Clan warriors fighting desperately against the Molten Demon, and the Half-Tree Man being protected by the Molten Demon, Night Ancient only felt a throbbing headache.

This... which one was real and which was fake?

He carefully compared Moon Shadow's Breath's photos with the ones Tak had sent before.

Yet he couldn't find a single flaw. Night Ancient was truly at a loss this time.

He let out a long sigh and directly contacted Gutt.

[Moving Night Castle: Archduke, regarding the Molten Demon matter, I've already asked Moon Shadow's Breath. However, her answer is completely the opposite of what Tak claimed before. I can't tell who's telling the truth and who isn't.]

With that, he sent all dozens of photos over.

"Now it's up to the higher-ups to decide!"

Only now did Night Ancient truly realize that he had perhaps never really seen Moon Shadow's Breath clearly.

"This woman..." His eyes shifted slightly, a trace of barely perceptible wariness flickering through his mind.
