Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 1028 - 890: Hunting Preparations Spanning Over a Decade

At this moment, Kane’s state of Divine Power had long since lost any semblance of normal human form.

He was like a life form casually blended from the air, creating a strong sense of dissonance with the real world.

His entire body emitted a mosaic like the world had glitched, with various blocks of different sizes casually stacked and occasionally flickering and swapping.

It was as if there was an error in the textures and programming of a video game.

These error-formed blocks condensed into a shape resembling a person.

Or rather, it looked like a person’s shape.

Even the crystal long spear in Kane’s hand had transformed into a stick-like object wrapped in the same mosaic as him, except the colors of these mosaics were white.

The white mosaics merged with the strangely shaped colorful mosaics on Kane’s body into a mass, like a mist-like swarm, rushing toward the enemy.

At this point, it looked more like a disordered pixel style, far more acceptable than the previous mosaic.

This colorful robot couldn’t comprehend the situation but clearly felt the threat as it continuously backpedaled on its four legs to avoid Kane’s mosaic pixel blocks.

Obviously, it didn’t want to get touched by the mosaic pixel blocks Kane had become.

Even the God of All Machines sensed a certain threat, causing half of the various attacks and beams it launched to target Kane instead.

This forced Kreya to spend a lot of energy intercepting the attacks above Kane’s head, and even two of Meizike’s clones came to help block the concentrated attacks.

The evasion speed and posture were clearly no match for Kane’s speed.

A strange iron sword, condensed from searing energy and broken iron, swung down along the enemy’s mechanical arm.

It slashed directly into Kane’s body.

However, the sword passed straight through, and the energy and broken iron underwent strange changes.

The originally high-temperature energy body began to alternate between high and low temperatures, while the broken iron turned into plastic, sometimes melting, sometimes solidifying.

The enemy’s weapon became chaotic.

Mosaic-like blocks penetrated through the shield blocking him and directly passed through the enemy’s mechanical body.

Subsequently, Kane flew toward the other two mechanical beings.

The mechanical being that Kane had just passed through stood dumbfounded for a moment before raising its sword, charging at Kane in an attempt to pursue him.

It was as if Kane’s penetration hadn’t caused any harm at all.

Its machine body showed no damage and continued to perform its duties.

Kane ignored the robot pursuing him from behind and, taking advantage of the back-and-forth battle between Meizike and the mechanical being in front, accelerated fiercely, piercing through from the back and rushing toward the machine Longbei was blocking.

The robot he just passed through, along with its companion, began chasing after Kane.

In an instant, they abandoned Meizike altogether.

It was as if Kane had suddenly become some sort of taunting target.

The machine before Longbei seemed somewhat battered, covered in scorched marks, and its outer armor was riddled with cracks and fragments.

As it attempted to merge the mechanical fragments, it was struck by pervasive lightning, and the condensed fragments remained ragged.

It was clear it had encountered its nemesis, seemingly capable of absorbing the lightning from Longbei’s attacks, just like the machine that intercepted Longbei’s attacks before.

Yet Longbei’s lightning attacked furiously as if it were free, bombarding until the entire machine began to glow red, clearly having become excessively energy-saturated.

"Eat lightning, huh? Eat it, eat it!"

Longbei cursed through gritted teeth, relentlessly pounding with his lightning-laden giant hammer.

At this moment, a mass of mosaic passed through from the back of the battered machine.

"You guys go help Kreya attack the God of All Machines; leave these three robots to me, haha!"

Kane’s voice came from the mosaic.

Behind him, three machines were continuously giving chase.

They had abandoned Meizike and everyone else.

These mechanical beings were running on the ground with their four legs, without considering jumping or using any propulsion methods or acceleration skills to increase their speed to catch up.

Kane never thought of accelerating either, running around the edge of the entire space at a pace as if it were just a run.

Thus, it turned inexplicably into a game of chase.

And the enemies adhered to this kind of gameplay.

Although it’s unclear what the situation is now, they all realized Kane should be able to handle these three machines, instantly shifting their attack targets to assault the God of All Machines.

At this time, the God of All Realms was extremely uncomfortable.

The small sealed space hindered his powerful offensive deployment.

As a mechanical deity, his powerful attacks were always associated with explosions.

And clearly, exploding here was not an option, and with his overly massive form, there was no room to dodge in this sealed space.

As for trying to break out of this space and escape,

The sealed space had long been transferred from his hands, and this space no longer obeyed his commands, becoming extremely solid.

If he were to break open the space now, he would find another layer of space outside, a place filled with a fairy tale world.

In the instant Kane granted permission to Lilulu, she linked her fairy tale world, transferring this sealed space into the realm of fairy tales.

This meant that the outside had already become Lilulu’s domain. By leveraging her authority, she forcefully made the space exceptionally solid, prohibiting any actions that could damage it.

If one carefully peered through the ripples on the surface of the space and looked inside at this moment,

one would discover the runes on the walls of the space were beginning to transform toward fantasy and abstraction.

Lilulu was using her authority and power to erode the entire space.

At this time, the situation inside the entire sealed space was completely under the control of Kane and the others.

Additionally, this space could enhance the effect of the sealing, combined with Lilulu’s sealing technique.

What they intended to do was self-evident.

With Kreya and the others available to help share the burden, the pressure on Raphael and Kafka was also alleviated.

At that moment, the God of All Machines faced three sufficiently powerful Five-Colored and two assisting Three-Colored beings.

Even Kane, who was being pursued, was unusually leisurely, constantly launching various attacks to harass the God of All Machines.

Even though his strength had reached the pinnacle of Five-Colored, in a place where he could not fully exert his powers, he couldn’t break free from the current situation.

He had long since fallen into the enemy’s trap.

Everything here had been meticulously designed just for him—every place, every moment.

His attacks were intercepted and blocked by the enemy as soon as they were launched. The machinery he created was shot down and destroyed before they could take effect.

And his only means of escape now, those three mechanical clones that had reached Five-Colored level,

were completely restrained by one of the enemy’s Five-Colored beings.

He didn’t even dare to dismiss his three mechanical clones.

Even without analysis, it was evident that there were issues with these three mechanical clones.

If dismissed, these mechanical clones would return to his body, but the peculiar state of the mechanical clones made him dare not do so.

If he inadvertently brought something bad into his body, it might only make the current situation worse.

For now, he could still control the mechanical clones, urging them not to continue pursuing Kane.

His authority over this had been stripped or modified.

He was in a deadlock.

However, even though the enemy had the power to destroy him, they had no intention of doing so.

With his brain’s massive computational capacity, he could easily deduce the current situation.

The enemy clearly wanted something from him, wanted to capture him alive.

They wanted to seal him.

There was no intention of destroying him.

"We can cooperate. You obviously want me to provide something, correct?"

"Is it the knowledge in my brain that you’re so eager for?"

Kane’s abilities didn’t match; they drew his attention.

All of Kane’s actions upon entering indicated that he was the leader of this team. However, his performance in battle clearly didn’t align with his status.

A simple calculation analysis suggested the possibility that the enemy’s strength and his own had a common origin.

But clearly, he had already reached the pinnacle in the realm of Magic Machinery. If the enemy were stronger than him, his knowledge wouldn’t hold much value.

Perhaps the knowledge in his head was precisely what the initiator of this operation desired, and that person was undoubtedly Kane.

"Release me, and I will package my knowledge and give it to you. Otherwise, I will destroy the information stored in my mind and perish together with you. In that case, all your time and resources spent will gain you nothing."

At this moment, although Kane continued to chase the three mechanical creatures below, his voice was transmitted over.

"You no longer have a chance!"

Having said that, Kane’s pixelated body suddenly exploded.

The scattered mosaic blocks burst apart, as if signaling something.

These signals triggered something hidden in the deepest part of the God of All Machines.

Things that the enemy had planted without even his notice.

Because these elements were inherently harmless parts of the mechanical body, Kane had merely made a minor modification, a change that was supposed to occur.

However, in his state of Divine Power, Kane ignited this change, achieving the desired effect.

The God of All Machines’ head emitted a stuck-like noise, and he very clearly entered a stage of confusion.

"You’ve injected a virus into my body. You’ve hidden a virus in my sealed form."

The emotionless mechanical sound expressed his awareness of his current situation.
