‘However… it seems that the advancement task for my territory is about to be completed?’

‘As expected, with a large base, there are all sorts of birds in the forest.’

‘So… the Terminators under Heavenly Net also have factions and are divided into forces?’

“…” Qin Muye didn’t know how to comment for a moment, what a hodgepodge this was, Terminators, Transformers, and now the Hacker Empire had been thrown into the mix. Qin Muye wouldn’t be surprised if I, robots, public enemies of machines, and the like popped up next.

“Victory by Magnetic Field Rotation, defeat by Magnetic Field Rotation, if it were the original Magnetic Field Rotation, I really wouldn’t have any way to deal with you, but unfortunately, this isn’t the original.”

“Send it over, let me take a look.” Qin Muye sighed, hoping it wasn’t anything bizarre, but it was probably something made into biological energy by humans.

“Black Hand, go install the Death Knell into the weapon system, let’s see who terminates whom.” Qin Muye named this weapon targeting the Terminators very maliciously as Death Knell.

“You shouldn’t underestimate an artificial intelligence; its computing power is much more potent than yours,” Qin Muye said.

“Death Knell only damaged Heavenly Net’s minions; it isn’t able to kill it. I am somewhat lacking in programming skills.” Qin Muye admitted, knowing he could physically restrict Heavenly Net but could not completely erase it since it was artificial intelligence, unless Qin Muye could destroy all of its servers to remove its physical host.

“Yes, master.” Black Hand had long been waiting by the side.

“However strong he is, he’s still no match for you. Now you have developed a weapon that leaves Heavenly Net powerless,” Hercules didn’t care about Heavenly Net. If it weren’t for Qin Muye not letting him act, he would have already attacked it.

“It’s not that there’s no way, if you dive deep into developing Dionysus’s Dark Star, dealing with Heavenly Net could be very simple,” Hercules reminded.

“I’m well aware of that, but the cost is too high,” Qin Muye actually had another thing to say, and that was that the benefits were too low.

“Master, the latest news— we’ve found Heavenly Net’s core base, Zion, and discovered some unusual stuff,” Black Hand reported via the Magic Network.

“Lately, the strength of the Terminators has been increasing, they can now withstand one of my punches,” Hercules walked in, muscles bulging, carrying a badly beaten Terminator on his shoulder.

A Rank 8 Terminator isn’t a true Rank 8 life form; it’s just a robot, not as flexible as a human. As long as you find the weak spot, you can directly disable it.

But for Qin Muye, this is truly not worth it, unless for raiding an instance, otherwise wasting twenty to thirty years in a server wouldn’t be worthwhile.

But this is simply too bothersome, better to learn some computing and deal with the opponent directly through cyber warfare.

Of course, in the process of destroying the ecosystem, he would gather all resources, ensuring not even a bit was left.

Of course, this is what Hercules thought; Qin Muye could also perfect it rather quickly, possibly in just twenty to thirty years, and after completion, it might even be a Mythical-Level Profession.

The opponent’s liquid metal can upgrade, the core program can be updated, but Magnetic Field Rotation, as one of its methods, will not change.

The opponent looks limp, as if it had no skeleton at all.

For Qin Muye, who achieved so much in just a few years, the cost is indeed too high— there are better things to do with his time.

Twenty to thirty years would probably allow him to greatly enhance his strength even more.

Hercules heard Qin Muye’s words but didn’t take them to heart since he thought Qin Muye was right, as he currently wasn’t making any progress anyway. To further perfect Dionysus’s Dark Star would probably take him no less than a century.

Just like the Underworld, which completely lacks the four Basic Forces, there are probably also quite a few worlds of this type.

It’s said that in DC Comics, the nickname “Black Bell” was originally “Terminator”, but because “Terminator” was released, Black Bell had to be renamed. Just thinking about it feels a bit surreal.

After two months in total, Qin Muye finally developed a plan targeting the Terminator.

Qin Muye wasn’t sure, but there should be, as the Spark could grant life to machines, theoretically, a Terminator could become self-aware like the T-800 in “Terminator 2”, and even more easily awakened.

Starting from this point and combining a massive amount of data samples, Qin Muye finally completed the Terminator Treasure.

Thus, Qin Muye could not only gain a substantial amount of Points and Treasure Boxes but also obtain the resources of the entire world as reserves and even harvest all the scientific research data from Sky Net, amounting to multiple gains in one move.

The development of Black Bell had been completed earlier, and the main issue was the testing which was a bit troublesome. It’s not possible to use it immediately after development without multiple tests. Otherwise, any slight mistake could have dire consequences.

The Spirit Monsters took away the Black Bell equipment. According to the design provided by Qin Muye, it began to be integrated into the weapon systems, a process that would take at least a day, being high-end technology. Moreover, it’s not about installing just one piece, but at least nearly ten thousand pieces, so production was necessary.

It might even be much stronger than a Qi Refiner.

The process might have taken longer, but it maximized the benefits by extracting all value from Sky Net.

He didn’t see any forces; it was all Terminators.

Although the rank 8 Terminators were continuously being perfected and strengthened by Sky Net, even changing the Spark Source to the latest model, the one thing that remained unchanged was their magnetic field rotation.

The device was casually thrown to the ground, instantly smashing into a pile of liquid metal, looking almost like a Slime.

So, Qin Muye indulged in such a sinister humor.

He also couldn’t not know how powerful it would be if all four basic forces were completely mastered. Perhaps even Zeus would die, well, assuming that this world had the four basic forces, otherwise it would be useless.

Whet its internal energy devices, leading directly to permanent damage.

With Terminator technology, Skeleton Soldiers could extend their grueling careers from the usual three to five months to thirty to fifty years. Despite the investment cost, the efficiency of labor was much higher than before and also more intelligent with combat capabilities; they could serve as cannon fodder or even security.

With this time, it might be better to study Netherworld Water, Elf Queen Reclassification Certificate, and other various things. By then, having everyone at an Epic Profession would be much more powerful than his solo Mythical Profession.

Qin Muye was actually quite curious about this situation; he also didn’t know what these self-aware Terminators really wanted to do. Despite already forming forces recognized by the “Lord Era”, they still remained loyal to Sky Net.

The reason why Terminators have become like this is naturally due to the use of the Black Bell device’s prototype principles of electromagnetic field disruption taught by Qin Muye, serving as a small test, which no one else could complete except for Hercules, who practiced skills formed from the rudiments of the four basic forces, Dionysus’s Dark Star; others didn’t have this ability.

As long as he eliminated the Terminators, Qin Muye didn’t believe Sky Net still had forces that could compete with him.

Since Hercules and other Divine beings arrived at Qin Muye’s territory, the original attackers and defenders had already switched, only because Qin Muye was greedy for Points, which is why he them one by one.

As a Lord, the prosperity of his territory was key; his own power could be enhanced at any time.
