Very quickly, Qi Yuan sent out a second mechanical puppet to the front of the warehouse and issued the command to open the door again.
The instant the command was issued, a blazing white light once again gushed out from the puppet's feet, binding it and then quickly melting it.
Two Peak Rank 6 mechanical puppets were destroyed by the warehouse's defense system just like that. Apart from eliminating two incorrect commands to open the door, there wasn't even the slightest ripple.
The cost of this trial and error was too high!
Although controlling these mechanical puppets didn't consume too many resources and could be considered a free gift, such an easy consumption made Qi Yuan feel somewhat pained. He had already treated these things as his own property.
Even the Black Steel Shelter couldn't be so extravagant as to use Peak Rank 6 mechanical puppets as consumables.
However, no matter how high the cost of trial and error was, Qi Yuan had no choice but to continue trying. This was because he needed the energy core inside the warehouse. As long as he could take down this energy warehouse, coupled with the warehouse that stored all kinds of mechanical puppets, he would be able to easily control a group of mechanical puppets. It would also be helpful for the upcoming check-ins.
Watching Qi Yuan control these mechanical puppets to their deaths one by one and melt them into liquid, Ajiu couldn't help but feel pained.
"If you continue trying, these mechanical puppets will all be gone!" Ajiu said.
Qi Yuan glanced at the eight mechanical sentinels around the warehouse and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to replenish the consumption."
These mechanical sentinels weren't a fixed source of mechanical puppets. Their constant respawn was bad news for the Slayer doppelganger, but it was the best news for Qi Yuan.
Every time the mechanical sentinels respawned, it meant that Qi Yuan would have eight more mechanical puppets.
Compared to No.1 who was worried that the mechanical sentinels would respawn too quickly, Qi Yuan was only worried that they would respawn too slowly and not be able to keep up with the consumption.
Seeing that his attempts had failed again and again, the mechanical puppets were continuously destroyed by the defense system. When there was only one mechanical puppet left, Qi Yuan did not hesitate to use the command to take over the eight mechanical sentinels guarding the warehouse. He then continued to attempt to open the door.
While Qi Yuan was constantly trying, he did not notice that Number 10, who had originally escaped with Number 8, had unknowingly dealt with the mechanical guards chasing after him and returned, quietly spying on everything that was happening here.
No. 8 watched as Qi Yuan walked out from behind the scenes and successfully defeated No. 1. He then took over the control of No. 1, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 8, and casually took over the control of the mechanical sentinel. His heart was in turmoil.
For an ability user who had just broken through to the fifth stage to be able to defeat Meteor and the Furnace of Death was already shocking enough. Yet, he was actually able to break through the fundamental logic left behind by the Supreme Ruler, controlling the Mech Royal Court again and again. Even his own doppelganger and the machinery in the Mech Ruins couldn't escape the other party's control.
If the Utmost Overlord were to find out about this, he would definitely kill Qi Yuan at all costs.
This ability could no longer be described as magical because even a high-grade Mechanic would not be able to achieve this.
This Qi Yuan must have grasped some cutting-edge technology of the Mech Ruins and even obtained a certain level of control authority. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to control these mechanical sentinels so easily!
However, No. 10 guessed that Qi Yuan's authority should not be very high. Otherwise, he would not have used such provocative methods to deal with his doppelganger, and he would not have been blocked by the defense system of this energy warehouse.
Just as No. 10's mind was spinning rapidly, he suddenly saw the originally tightly shut door of the warehouse actually slowly open. The defense system that had destroyed one mechanical body after another actually did not attack the mechanical puppet controlled by Qi Yuan again.
Qi Yuan actually opened the door of the warehouse!
How was this possible!
No. 10 was very clear about the value of this warehouse. In the entire Mech Ruins, there were not many ways to replenish a Mechanic's energy. Other than taking advantage of the patrolling sentinels, the only other choice was this energy warehouse.
The importance of this warehouse to a Mechanic was unquestionable!
No. 10 watched the mechanical puppet walk into the warehouse from afar. After a while, the mechanical puppet walked out with a metal box half the height of a person and handed it to Qi Yuan.
"This is going to be troublesome."
No. 10 looked deeply at Qi Yuan and then left without looking back. Qi Yuan's methods were too strange. If he continued to spy on him, he was worried that Qi Yuan would discover him.
After No. 10 left, he quietly came to a hidden black building. After a few seconds, a door half the height of a person opened on the wall of the building. No. 10 bent his body and quickly entered.
The light in the building was dim, but after No. 10 entered, a hazy purple ball of light slowly rose, emitting a faint glow.
Other than No. 10 who had just entered, the remaining mechanical bodies of Slayer were all gathered here.
No. 2, No. 3, and No. 9, who had not shown themselves all this time, had already gathered. They surrounded a broken mechanical body, guarding it devoutly.
Unlike the other mechanical doppelganger of Slayer, these doppelganger had a faintly discernible purple mark between their eyebrows. Under the illumination of the ball of light, it was emitting a faint purple glow.
After No. 10 stepped in, a similar purple mark slowly appeared between his eyebrows.
The 3 mechanical doppelganger all looked at No. 10. It was a bit strange that No. 10 would come back at a time like this.
"Didn't I ask you to go check on No. 1? Why are you back now?
What's the situation with No. 1? Did No. 4 and the others get angry? "No. 2 lowered his voice and asked.
No. 10 paused for a moment and then slowly said, "The situation outside has changed. Other than us, including No. 1, all of the doppelganger are dead!"
All of them?
Even No. 1, who had the AT force field, was dead?
What exactly happened outside?
The broken mechanical body surrounded by the mechanical doppelganger suddenly had a flash of light in its eyes.
"Don't rush. Speak slowly."
"Yes!"
No. 10 said respectfully.
After that, Number Ten recounted everything he had seen and heard in detail, leaving nothing out.
After No. 10 finished, the mechanical doppelganger fell into a deep silence. They couldn't believe what No. 10 had said.
After a while, No. 3 said slowly, "I knew it.
There's something wrong with that Qi Yuan. He must be the mastermind behind the explosion of the No. 9 battle fort! "
"It's not as simple as' there's something wrong with him. He can remove the bottom layer logic left by the Supreme Master and control the mechanical sentinels here. For an intermediate aptitude user, this is impossible!"
.....
"Don't worry. This is also good news for you guys!" The broken mechanical body interrupted their discussion and said slowly.
"Since No. 1 is dead, the backdoor left by your original body in your bottom layer logic is completely useless. At least you guys don't have to worry about No. 1 attacking you guys."
"As for this Qi Yuan, you don't have to worry about him at all. A flesh and blood life form can't do anything here. This is a mechanical civilization made from metal and energy."
"The reason he can control the mechanical sentinels is very simple. That energy life form he called the Blazing Angel has a lot of data stored in the mechanical ruin. There must be a command to take over the mechanical sentinels and open the warehouse."
"You guys find a way to lure him to where my original body is locked up. I will deal with him personally. This Blazing Angel is my chance to escape. Once I'm free, you guys can easily control the entire mechanical ruin. This ruin's resources are enough for you guys to return to the advanced level!"
The doppelganger looked at the broken mechanical body with a passionate gaze. The mark in between their eyebrows shined brightly as they yelled in unison.
"We will follow the orders of the Oracle!"
