Chapter 988 - 433: Civilization and Abyss Traits_2
Chu Xiu stood in place, silently waiting. After about ten breaths, a phantom suddenly appeared in the center of the control room, resembling Aurora!
At this moment, she seemed like an AI integrated into the Titan Giant Mechanism, yet her expression was much more dynamic, lacking the "rationality" Chu Xiu imagined. Instead, she exclaimed like a young girl visiting a big city for the first time:
"Wow! Mr. Chu, the technology in your world is so advanced! How did you manage to make radar that can detect thousands of kilometers with such high precision? And is that thing over there a rail cannon? If a single shot lands, its power might be ten times stronger than the Celestial Punishment Divine Light....."
"I also sensed many strong individuals... there are even demigods?"
Looking at Aurora’s excited appearance, Chu Xiu chuckled and said, "Actually, I have become a demigod too. Quite some time has passed since we last met, and many things have happened in between. If you’re interested, I’ll tell you slowly later."
"How do you feel now?"
"Surprisingly well..." Aurora’s voice was full of joy, "I originally thought that after losing my physical body, I’d be left with only logic and rationality, but it seems that’s not the case. Not only have I retained my main consciousness, but I’ve also extended various machinery as my body, radar like my eyes, cannons like my limbs, and... it seems my consciousness can detach at any time!"
Chu Xiu hadn’t expected this development either. Upon careful consideration, it was undoubtedly due to the effect of the [Titan Mechanism Manipulator] trait.
But it’s a good thing, perhaps there’s a day in the future when Aurora can be reborn physically. Though he lacks the ability himself, once he accumulates enough Power of Civilization, he can do with Aurora what he once did for Cang Kai.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu nodded and said, "As long as you’re comfortable. The Blood Demons will launch their attack in four days. I hope you familiarize yourself with this equipment during this time. I’ll inform others of your existence, and you can find an opportunity to coordinate with them."
"Oh, and don’t call me Mr. Chu in front of others; call me Chen Ce."
Aurora obediently nodded. Without further words from Chu Xiu, her figure vanished from the control room, presumably eager to explore this advanced technology.
Every mechanician is an engineering technology enthusiast. Upon suddenly seeing all this high-tech, no one can resist.
Afterwards, Chu Xiu informed others one by one.
Zhou Yanyang was the most excited. He sensed Aurora’s presence immediately. To him, Aurora was like a super-intelligent AI, helping him skip many tedious operations, allowing him to focus solely on mobilizing energy for explosions.
Seeing the two getting along well, Chu Xiu was relieved.
In the last few days, various shells and unmanned equipment were continuously shipped to the Corpse Demon World, and Chu Xiu wasted no time activating Cause and Effect Points for cultivation.
After consuming three million Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu gained a deeper understanding of Divine Soul techniques and High-dimensional Space rules, allowing more fluid combat using the Fighting Spirit and faster movement in High-dimensional Space.
The day of the decisive battle finally arrived.
"Rest assured, Ashtar is at least two billion kilometers away from your position now."
A communication screen appeared before Chu Xiu. In the center was Vengeance’s face, not far from him, Ashtar stood silently, with a vast starry sky in the background.
In the past, a distance of this magnitude would have reassured Chu Xiu, but after learning about the wonders of High-dimensional Space, he felt no certainty.
"When meeting in the Corpse Demon World before, Ashtar appeared via teleportation, indicating that he should have mastered methods of movement in Multi-dimensional Space."
Two billion kilometers might just be a step away.
Moreover, he hasn’t forgotten that the opponent likely sought help from Outer Realm Demons. Though the government strictly controls [Anchor Points], remember there’s a Celestial King and a hidden Outer Realm Demon acting as insiders. By risking exposure, there are ways to manipulate things secretly.
It’s possible a Divine Envoy of Outer Realm Demons is already lurking in his camp.
"So in this battle, survival must be the top priority."
Chu Xiu established the overall combat strategy in his mind.
For this battle, the enemy’s goal isn’t victory, but killing him!
Chu Xiu wouldn’t underestimate anyone, nor believe that his vastly improved strength guarantees victory in the fight.
He decided to hold off using Tribulation Poison, for if he ends up in a dire situation, he can scatter Tribulation Poison to create Tribulation Mist, using its barrier to escape to another world.
The biggest downside of Tribulation Poison is hitting targets, but for escaping, this isn’t an issue, making it his greatest life-saving card besides [Free Deep Dive Scroll].
"Buzz——"
Just as Chu Xiu resolved internally, a dull buzzing sound suddenly echoed from afar.
This sound was like the low roar of an ancient beast, or the noise of some colossal creature awakening from slumber. Not piercing, yet it aroused an inexplicable fear in the hearts of people.
Chu Xiu’s eyes narrowed, knowing the assault had begun!
In the distance, the red line which had filled the skyline for two days began to slowly advance.
Though called slow from an overall perspective, looking individually, the front of that red line featured Blood Demon Servants charging at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
Their speed was so fast they’ve transformed into red lines, their figures filling the mountains and valleys without end in sight!
And soon enough, in their path stood towering hundred-meter-high tree walls, blocking their progress like city walls crafted by Gods, crudely severing the way forward.
To ordinary people, hundred meters is an insurmountable chasm, but to Blood Demon Servants, merely small slopes easily vaulted. Uttering sharp cries, they leaped up attempting to jump over.
However, at this moment, atop the tree walls, out from gaps among tangled vines suddenly protruded numerous cannon barrels! In the next instant, deafening cannon fire roared in the scene!
Blinding tongues of fire shot out, dense arrays of heavy machine guns formed a metal storm entirely interwoven with Armor-Piercing Bullets! Relying on automatic recognition and locking systems, Blood Demon Servants charging ahead were instantly shattered!
The fierce cannon fire roared ceaselessly without leaving a single gap in firepower, the sky was filled with shattered remains of Blood Demon Servants caught in the storm!
These were Huaxia’s most advanced low-cost mass-produced unmanned drone cannons. Despite having no Spiritual Array, their ultimate technology granted terrifying firing speed and power, while automatic recognition devices achieved super high precision shooting!
This fearsome firepower persisted for twenty seconds, after eradicating tens of thousands of Blood Demon Servants, ceasing only due to overheating.
The barrels retracted from gaps, followed by astonishing scenes. Inside the tree walls were "tree tumors," which freely moved within by vine contraction and extension! Even the sap within the tumors could help rapidly cool the barrels!
Blood Demon Servants enduring cannon fire barely crossed the tree walls, only to find a complex maze blocking their way! With no time to seek a path, cooled machine guns swiftly moved to newly chosen firing points, beginning to roar once more!

Brutal slaughter resumed, bewildered Blood Demon Servants were precisely blasted to pieces.
Similar scenes unfolded across the battlefield, the flowing blood tide crashing against rocks, unable to advance an inch further!
