The woman snorted and stared at Lu Yin. "I don't care who he's working for now, but you have to hand over that thing. The Sixth Mainland doesn't even research such things. Give it to us, and we can give you what you need."
"We need ten million androids," Lu Yin said directly.
The woman snapped, "I'm not joking. Our Technocracy has done a lot of research on such things, and one extra copy is only for mutual verification. It's not as valuable as you think it is. Don't use useless things in exchange for our friendship. This trade is beneficial to you, and we'll speak up for Vice City Lord Xiao Xiong."
Lu Yin shook his head. "You're just a half-android. Why should you speak up for us?"
"Hey, half-android, can't you see me, Little Leo?
I'm the genius Little Leo. Back off immediately! "Little Leo shouted as he blocked Lu Yin's path.
The woman turned around and left decisively. "Venus is a cruel place. I don't know what you're going to do, but I hope you can come back alive."
Little Leo was furious. "That's too much! How dare she ignore the genius Little Leo! She must be punished severely! These half-androids are becoming more and more unruly."
Lu Yin patted Little Leo's shoulder. "Forget it, she doesn't matter. Don't let her affect our mood."
Little Leo said, "I'm sorry, Seven. Not only did I fail to fulfill my promise to you, but I also made you suffer and threatened by a half-android. Don't worry, I won't let this matter rest."
Lu Yin smiled. "Little Leo, I hope that you remember that our friendship is pure and untainted by benefits. Just let it go. If you speak up for me, others will think that you're being used by me, and that won't be good for my situation either. For my sake and for our friendship, don't worry about it. Be happy. Only when you're happy will you be inspired to research."
"That person is just a passerby in my life. You'll forget about her in the blink of an eye."
Little Leo looked deeply at Lu Yin, his eyes filled with emotion. "Seven, you're too, too, open-minded. There's a term for that among humans. Seven, you're too open-minded. Only someone like you would have the courage to come to Venus and stop the war. I'm sorry, I never thought that you had the ability to stop the war, but I take that thought back. Seven, you can definitely do it."
"Humans have a fearless spirit. Seven, you're one of them."
Lu Yin patted Leo's shoulder, "I just don't want our friendship to be tainted by personal interests. Of course, if something happens to me and I can't deal with it myself, I'll definitely ask you for help."
"Of course, don't stand on ceremony," Little Leo said excitedly.
The Luo Emperor quietly watched the conversation between Lu Yin and Little Leo, but he couldn't take it anymore. He looked into the distance and saw the half-android woman staring at him from a distant spacecraft. Her eyes were icy cold.
After separating from Little Leo, Lu Yin's expression darkened, "Who was that woman?"
The Luo Emperor replied, "He's one of the managers of Ibben City's lower district. The lower district is below Ibben City, and it's made up of half-modified people. I was there as well."
"Was she the one you saw in the video?"
Luo Huang nodded. "She's not the most powerful half-modified human, but she's the most scheming. She's the only half-modified human who can meet the City Lord."
Lu Yin was astonished. "You were able to escape from her?"
"Back then, she wasn't as strong as she is now. She was about the same as me."
"Then how do you know that she can meet the City Lord?"
The Luo Emperor lowered his voice. "The entire lower district knows that she's the Saintess in the hearts of the half-modified humans. She's the one who allowed them to live in Ibben City, and the lower district was specially built for them. It's all thanks to her."
The Saintess was a title that caused one's imagination to run wild. Anyone who could be called a Saintess was a spiritual pillar, and that woman was the spiritual pillar of the half-modified humans.
"Why does she want the technology to create Emissary level androids?" Lu Yin asked.
The Luo Emperor replied, "She wants to work with a research team, but I don't know the specifics. There's more than one research team in Ibben City that has the technology to create Emissary level androids, but they can't produce them due to a lack of materials. Humans need to go through an origin tribulation to become an Emissary, but androids need materials to reach the Emissary level."
"Materials? That's the origin tribulation for androids. There aren't many Emissary level androids in the Technocracy, so materials are too rare."
Ever since he'd arrived in the Technocracy, Lu Yin had heard the word "materials" the most, and he was increasingly convinced of his own conjecture.
The Luo Emperor had been targeted, and he wasn't too far away from Vyr, so Lu Yin wasn't in the mood to wander around.
Not long after, a bright flame appeared in the distance, followed by a huge explosion. Space itself was distorted, and the violent energy caused the spacecraft to shake. An alarm sounded: Vyr, we've arrived.
If one didn't see it with their own eyes, it would be impossible to imagine what it was like to have billions of mechanically modified lifeforms fighting in outer space. Spacecraft collided with each other, machines clashed with machines, and strange attacks that appeared out of nowhere.
The Third Fleet didn't even have time to reorganize themselves before they were met with a fierce battle. Countless mechanical claws appeared and viciously grabbed at the spacecraft. Within the Third Fleet, countless spacecraft shot out beams of light that illuminated the universe and the distant sky.
Giant shadows whistled through the air, and they were mechanical giants that charged towards the Third Fleet. They raised their hands, and giant swords extended from their mechanical arms. They slashed down viciously, and the swords tore through the void. They displayed power that surpassed an Enlighter's, and a row of spacecraft was destroyed.
The destroyed spacecraft didn't completely shatter, but rather reassembled into a giant cannon that aimed at the mechanical giants. There was a boom, and the mechanical giants blocked the attack with their swords, but their bodies were sent flying as their swords cracked.
A terrifying shockwave swept out in all directions.
Lu Yin had seen all of this in an instant. The battle on Venus was far more intense than he had imagined.
He suddenly had a feeling that the City had been holding back in its battle with the Human Star Field. The battle with the Heaven Founding Academy was a battle of life and death. The Human Star Field was not the City's enemy. The City's real enemy was the Heaven Founding Academy.
The mechanical giants were the Genesis Academy's androids, and each of them was tens of thousands of meters tall. They were incomparably huge, and countless distorted mechanical lifeforms that resembled eight-clawed fish appeared within the Third Fleet, leaping towards the mechanical giants.
Even further away, countless spacecraft appeared. The Third Fleet's spacecraft turned around and launched attacks that distorted the void. The distant spacecraft also launched their own attacks.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Outer space boiled over. There were no planets here, and even if there were, they would have been destroyed long ago.
Little Leo, Lu Yin, and the others were in the middle of the Third Fleet, and they weren't too far away from the captain. Although they could clearly see the battlefield and experience the intense brutality, they were still some distance away from the actual battle.
Little Leo was nervous, and his face was pale. He had personally witnessed the destruction of battleships, and there were hundreds and thousands of androids within them. Although they were far from the strength of the androids he had created, they were still androids. They had been annihilated without being able to resist at all, and their fragments filled the sky.
If the spacecraft he was in had been attacked, it probably wouldn't have been able to last much longer.
Lu Yin, Jie Shan, and the others looked into the distance. There were flashes of light, indicating that some spacecraft or mechanical lifeforms had been destroyed. All they could see was war, a feast of machines.
"This is the battle between the city and the Genesis Academy," Jie Shan sighed. "Even the Human Domain's battle with the city isn't this intense. There's no strategy to speak of here; it's just a fight to the death and a battle of attrition."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. If he pulled the Lu Xuanjun Army into this battlefield, it would be difficult for him to gain an advantage. Although the Lu Xuanjun Army was strong on average and their ability to protect themselves far surpassed any other army that Lu Yin had ever seen, they were too few in number and lacked absolute powerhouses.
From time to time, attacks that surpassed an Enlighter's or even an Emissary's level would appear from all directions. Lu Yin had seen more than one Ancestor-level android in the Third Fleet, and when he had accompanied Little Leo on a tour of the Third Fleet, he had seen many strange android androids, such as walking cuboids and hot air with eyes.
No one knew how strong these strange things were, but the Lu Xuanjun Army would definitely be at a disadvantage against them.
This was just one wave of battle, and it took less than half a day to resolve. Lu Yin looked at the countless materials floating through space and asked Little Leo, "Are these materials still useful?"
Little Leo replied, "Some can be recycled, but some can't. Just give them to the Scavengers."
"I've always been curious. Which side does the Scavengers belong to?" Lu Yin asked.
Little Leo thought for a moment, "Both First City and the Genesis Court have them. The Scavengers were jointly created to clean up the Technocracy's trash. Otherwise, the fleet wouldn't have been able to move around Veyar for so many years."
"Where are the materials that the Scavengers collected?" Lu Yin asked.
Little Leo shook his head, "I don't know."
After a while, Little Leo said to Lu Yin, "Ah Qi, we'll reach the main battlefield soon. The Fourth Fleet is retreating and returning to First City to replenish their resources. It's the Third Fleet's turn to take over, and the real battle is about to begin. Do you have any way to stop it?"
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn, "I need to find the Genesis Court's commander in Veyar and have a chat with him."
Little Leo nodded, "Good luck, my friend. The war won't last forever, and there will be periods of rest. When that time comes, you can go as an envoy. I hope you succeed."
Lu Yin smiled, "Little Leo, if I succeed, can you come to my hometown to take a look?
I, Ah Qi, sincerely invite you. "
Little Leo was delighted, "That's great! I've always wanted to visit the human world, so it's settled then. Right, I'll send some androids to protect you."
Lu Yin shook his head, "No need, we can protect ourselves."
…
In the distance, a beam of light approached quickly, and the next moment, Little Leo's spacecraft was split in two. It wasn't just this one; the dozens of spacecraft behind it were all split in two as well.
This was a dazzling slash that didn't come from a sword or blade, but from the metal itself.
