[Large-scale spatial warp phenomenon detected; active avoidance activated]
The outer perimeter of the folded space.
The same silent vacuum background was illuminated by light, but this time it was different from the Terminators who lit up and went out quickly. Instead, it was an area that encompassed almost half the size of the folded space. Compared to this circle of light with fixed coordinates, the speed of the folded space itself was finally fully displayed. It tried to pass through one side before the light was fully lit, at a speed that was almost like leaving a afterimage. However, it was destined not to succeed.
—The enormous metal hand surrounding it had already gripped it firmly.
The light on the surface of the Crimson Cube flickered at an extremely fast speed, as if it might be completely extinguished at any moment. The "Cube" inside, which was being squeezed, emitted a twisting sound like glass shattering. However, all of its resistance seemed too powerless compared to the two "metal hands". In the end, the Crimson Cube was pulled into the other side of the warp space without being able to do anything.
This scene was also clearly captured by the resistance forces on the Earth's surface. Amid a series of exclamations that were hard to tell whether they were from shock or fear, John Connor only looked away with a grim expression after the scarlet cube could no longer be seen.
"...Skynet is more terrifying than we imagined. If it weren't for this mysterious Rubik's Cube, we probably wouldn't even know that it has mastered such technology."
"Long-distance spatial warp... Unbelievable! Not just time jumps, but even this hypothetical long-distance spatial warp has been mastered!"
"That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't all the technologies that Skynet possesses be owned by humans? Or are there still humans serving Skynet right now?!"
"Speaking of the 'Super Terminator,' that level of weaponry doesn't seem like something Skynet could have conceived and constructed on its own. There must be someone behind it providing technological support..."
"In the end, who exactly is this 'person'?"
The researchers looked at each other in bewilderment, when suddenly a shout rang out from afar: "My God, look!"
Looking out the window of the base in the direction that person pointed, a beam of "light" silently bloomed in the gray sky...
------------------segmentation------------------
a minute ago.
Earth in 1984.
The gaze lingers on the battlefield that has just ended. A large number of robots, rendered immobile by the powerful electromagnetic shock, float in the vacuum like corpses. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be in a near-endless "hibernation" until they completely decay and rot, or until one day they are captured by the gravity of that planet and fall to their doom.
Of course, Lin Yi was not concerned about the future of these Terminators, but rather about their underlying principles.
Within the squinting left eye, the visual channel formed by the "root" directly projects the deepest internal structure—a realm that is not entirely within the realm of science.
"Activated metals".
He muttered to himself, a smile spreading across his face, "Looks like you couldn't resist either?"
[B-01 signal lost. Activate detonation device?]
"start up."
[Command confirmed. Detonation countdown begins.]
Meanwhile, in 2029, on Earth, in outer space.
The "Super Terminator," which consumed nearly half of Skynet's reserves and was built at an almost impossible speed in half a month, is slowly pulling its hands back from the other side of the space tunnel. The rapidly flashing electronic light on its body shows that completing this action is not easy.
It took nearly half a minute for the "Super Terminator" to finally pull the huge, now dimmed "Cube" out of the passage. The Terminators who were already prepared immediately surrounded him, and the first one in the lead used his laser gun to "cut" a passage into the cube, which had lost all its energy protection.
However, many of the combat modules in its program, which were prepared for use, had no chance to function. The electronic eye clearly transmitted the image inside the "Cube" to the center of Skynet. After a 0.1-second silence, all those surrounding the Terminator retreated frantically at an even faster speed than before.
Inside the "Rubik's Cube," which was filled with numerous objects bearing radiation and danger symbols, a giant smiley face and a line of standard text appeared on the countdown to "1."
--Have a nice day.
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 291 Crimson Collision
The combined power of nuclear and hydrogen bombs, capable of "cleaning" the Earth's surface three times over, would be contained within a sealed, folded space and detonated all at once, generating a destructive force far exceeding anyone's imagination.
The first to be hit is the super terminator who finally managed to pull the "Rubik's Cube" to this side.
As the dazzling light, almost reaching the edge of Jupiter, shone, the jet-black metallic surface of the "Super Terminator" was instantly vaporized by the hundreds of thousands of degrees of heat. The exposed lines and plates behind it didn't even last half a second before succumbing to the same fate, along with most of the "Skynet" space station's main structure, disappearing without a trace...
From the perspective of people on the Earth's surface, which is directly in this direction (i.e., those in the Western Hemisphere), that instant felt like a "star" that was beyond the speed of light was being pulled onto the Earth's surface.
The endless blinding light instantly robbed everything in sight. The more carefully one looked at something a second ago, the more intense the pain became. The panic emanating from those screams further fueled the chaos.
Some of the resistance fighters who had managed to avert their gaze during the burst of light attempted to calm the chaotic crowd. However, as another unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky after the light faded, their already fragile morale crumbled completely.
"run--!!!"
Amidst countless chaotic magnetic fields and pulsed particles, the "Crimson Cube," which should have vanished along with the previous burst of light, reappeared. However, this time it was no longer located in outer space, a considerable distance from Earth, but was projected directly into the atmosphere above.
After a brief pause, this "Rubik's Cube," with its terrifying mass, was naturally captured by Earth's gravity. It rubbed against the thin atmosphere, igniting a blinding trail of flame, and swept across the Southern Hemisphere sky, crossing the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans before crashing to the ground.
Even across a distance of nearly half a tectonic plate, the intense tremors were still clearly felt. Under the watchful eyes of countless terrified onlookers, the sky above where the "meteor" had fallen was visibly being invaded by gray-black and crimson hues—
"My God...where is that?!"
“Los Angeles—General, we have a base there with 1.5 million workers!”
After hesitating for only two seconds, the rebel leader made the most rational decision: "Gather all troops and retreat to the south!"
In the northern sky, billowing dust and radiation clouds began to spread and converge on every inch of the remaining faint blue sky...
The same situation occurred at every rebel position around Los Angeles that still retained command.
Undoubtedly, the humans of 2029 are far stronger and braver than those of 1984; otherwise, they could not have continued to fight against Skynet to this extent after suffering nearly half of their neighbors' casualties.
However, this strength and courage still have their limits. They dare to pull the trigger on cold machinery, but that doesn't mean they will blindly resist "natural disasters" that have already exceeded the scope of human power.
After all, humans are intelligent beings, and the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm has been perfectly inherited, but machines have not.
Just as the entire city of Los Angeles, along with its more than 7 million inhabitants and 19 Skynet weapon factories, were utterly destroyed by the intrusion and impact of the "Cube," the Terminators in neighboring cities who still retained their mobility and combat capabilities reacted in a completely different way than humans.
Enduring the intense heat radiation that seemed to scorch the chip, and after finally overcoming various "canyons" and "mountains," what appeared before the Terminators was not a Rubik's Cube, but a group of "demons" from another world.
Strategic mission: To conquer the world
Mission objective: Search for and destroy all activated metallic objects that do not belong to the Main God Space.
Success reward: determined by the quantity and quality of kills.
Penalty for failure: Annihilation of all members.
[Note: This world is currently a joint conquest world; any reincarnator who attacks our side will be unconditionally eliminated.]
[Note: This is a high-difficulty strategic world. Reincarnators are advised to cooperate in teams as much as possible.]
[Note that the total number of participants in this strategic mission cycle is 200000. Those with more than 50% survivors will receive an additional reward of 723044 points.]
……
Shaking its head, which was still a little dizzy from the intense impact, "Gecko" jumped out of the HZ-131 exit of the Rubik's Cube. When it touched the scorching ground, it almost couldn't help but scream. However, the strong self-control it had developed in the God Space over a long period of time made it swallow its scream again.
With a livid face, he activated his armor to cover his feet, thus avoiding the tragedy of suffering secondary injuries before the battle even began.
Feeling the temperature gradually cooling on its feet, the "gecko" breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to observe its surroundings.
Centered on the area struck by the "Rubik's Cube," a huge basin replaced the original flat land. Because the dust raised obscured the view, even the "Gecko" could not determine the size and area of the basin, but judging from the surrounding area, it must have encompassed at least the area of a city.
After reaching this conclusion, the gecko was neither surprised nor angry. The former was because the power of the "God" had long been deeply ingrained in its heart, forming a kind of almost "conclusive" understanding, while the latter... could you expect a person to have the mind to worry about others when they cannot even guarantee their own life or death?
Rather than these meaningless thoughts, "Gecko" was more concerned with the mission itself.
"Fortunately, we don't need to start a major battle as soon as we arrive like last time... I doubt anything can withstand this level of impact, which means we just need to deal with those guys who are coming from outside?"
While the "Gecko" was pondering, the reincarnators inside the "Crimson Cube" began to disperse, forming small teams using their respective means of communication while searching for traces of the "enemy."
The first skirmish quickly broke out on the "edge" of the basin, and the Terminators who arrived immediately carried out the highest priority orders from "Skynet"—
Annihilate the invaders
The Vulcan cannon mounted on the shoulder spun wildly, creating a metal storm at 12000 rounds per minute that chased after the figure in the distance who was dodging back and forth with agile movements.
Unable to dodge in time, the tearing pain in its leg made "Gecko" curse under its breath. Finally, it found a barely audible hiding place and quickly scurried inside.
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 292 Matter Conversion Bomb (Part 1)
"Crack-"
The Gatling gun, spinning wildly, had to stop firing due to overheating. With mechanical steps, Terminator 385104 approached the "target," while another high-energy ray cannon in its hand was already ready. As long as it could capture the target's traces, Terminator 385104 could completely annihilate this flesh-and-blood creature on a physiological level within 0.3 seconds.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the bunker where the "target" was located, Terminator 385104 raised its high-energy ray cannon and aimed it at the center—
"Bam—"
In Terminator 385104's pre-programmed program, it could encounter no fewer than 150 ways of resistance, and the resulting "countermeasures" numbered as many as 463. However, none of these possibilities ever occurred—the enemy digging a tunnel underground without any tools and using that tunnel to launch an attack.
This isn't the only program that's no longer in the default settings.
"Black Serpent - Strangulate!"
Something as hard as metal completely covered the upper body of "Gecko," making its originally well-proportioned body appear bloated. However, just like the change in appearance, "Gecko's" strength also increased exponentially when the Kagaku was fully activated. The metal machinery that was originally impossible to deal with was forcibly twisted off by it, and it stomped hard on the head of Terminator 385104.
As the light inside the electronic eye flashed rapidly, the hissing sound, like noise, gradually faded and disappeared.
For safety reasons, "Gecko" completely removed the mechanical limbs, which were now incapacitated, before stopping. Relieved, it then began searching for its next target...
The same scene was unfolding on this land once known as "Los Angeles." The Reincarnators, nurtured with enormous resources, finally played a role on the front lines for the first time after such a long "growth period."
Because the B-01 fold space, which was previously explosive in outer space, greatly reduced the existing combat power of "Skynet," and because the enhancements of "life virus" type restrained the enhancements of "mechanical intelligence" type to a certain extent, such as "signal interference" and "metal assimilation," the deployment of just this single A-01 fold space gave the Main God an overwhelming advantage on Earth in 2029, which was dominated by "Skynet."
Perhaps noticing the unfavorable situation, Skynet has attempted to mobilize its massive mechanical army, which it has produced over the past decade, more than once. However, due to the severe damage to a crucial link in the "mechanical intelligence" structure caused by the previous high-altitude nuclear explosion—namely, communication and control—Skynet is often attacked and disrupted by Reincarnators deployed by the God of War before it can fully assemble its mechanical army.
If things continue to develop in this way, even a fool would know who the final victor will be.
It was at this time that the "fragments" appeared.
----------segmentation----------
Earth in 1984.
[A small-scale global migration phenomenon was detected, with a quantity of 1.]
The closed eyes suddenly opened, and a scene unfolding in a remote corner of Los Angeles, on Earth in 2029, was clearly reflected in them.
Just like the scene when "Skynet" dropped the Terminator on Earth in 1984, as a halo with a radius of less than 20 centimeters was "lit up" in mid-air half a meter above the ground, an oval-shaped, enlarged seed-like object slowly emerged from it.
Although it wasn't close contact, a bad feeling still made Lin Yi ask, "What is this?"
[Structural analysis in progress... The surface is a highly sealed metal, and the internal information is locked and cannot be deciphered]
Frowning, just as Lin Yi was about to get up and dispose of this "fragment"—a "seed" that he was willing to expose his own world coordinates to transfer over—a reincarnator who happened to be searching for traces of the Terminator discovered it.
Earth, Los Angeles, 2029.
"what is this?"
Looking at the metallic object floating in mid-air ahead, "Gecko" hesitated.
It's true that the God Realm is full of dangers, but it's also full of opportunities. This was fully demonstrated when "Gecko" took a huge risk to obtain the Kagaku ability he possessed.
The otherworldly battlefield it currently finds itself in is indeed dangerous, but it's also brimming with all sorts of opportunities. Just like in the last world conquest operation, many magic-based enhanced individuals gained abilities called "magic," so...
After looking around and making sure there was nothing dangerous, the "gecko" swallowed hard and cautiously approached the suspended metal object.
Ten meters... five meters... three meters... one meter...
When the gecko's outstretched hand was less than ten centimeters away from it, the object floating in mid-air still did not react at all.
Licking its lips, just as the "Gecko" was about to recklessly extend its palm, it seemed to suddenly realize something. After slapping its head, it took out a black cloth from the subspace of the God's Watch. This cloth, which it had exchanged for with 200 reward points and whose purpose was to conceal its aura, wrapped the metal object up.
……
Earth in 1984.
"……that's all?"
Seeing the seed-like metal object so easily taken away by an ordinary reincarnator without any reaction, even Lin Yi was somewhat bewildered. Although he didn't know the purpose of the "fragment" deliberately throwing this thing into the world, one thing was certain—
"To change the current unfavorable situation..."
I scanned the Earth again to see the activities and conquered areas of the Reincarnators in 2029.
Either deploy a "stronger" whose combat power far surpasses that of the reincarnators—similar to the "fragment" itself—or deploy war weapons of equal number to those controlled by the current world's "Skynet." Otherwise, it is almost impossible to reverse the course of the war.
"So, what exactly is this thing used for?"
Just as Lin Yi began to have doubts, the "gecko" that had just obtained an "opportunity" also encountered a new crisis.
Opportunities and risks always go hand in hand.
As if to prove this statement, before "Gecko" could recover from the surprise of obtaining the mysterious item, several Terminators that silently approached immediately turned his surprise into astonishment.
After a short chase, the severely injured "Gecko" had to make the worst choice: throw the "seeds" that might attract these Terminators in the opposite direction, while contacting distant Reincarnators for support—after which it had to pay these supporting Reincarnators a large number of reward points.
But an unexpected scene unfolded. After he threw the "seed," the Terminators that had been relentlessly attacking him immediately stopped moving. They neither rushed towards the "seed" nor chased after the "Gecko" that continued to flee. This extremely bizarre scene made the Reincarnator subconsciously stop in his tracks, keeping a watchful eye on the Terminators opposite him while simultaneously tracking the landing point of the "seed" with his eyes—he had no intention of bringing it back later.
A question began to take root in the heart of the "gecko".
