Bam!
Something that was accelerated to an extreme speed disappeared into the void.
Then, it would instantly appear at the floating rocks and charge towards its target, the mist of the micro-machine, and completely destroy it.
But … before all of this happened, another explosion occurred at the floating rocks.
A flash of light quickly flashed through the countless floating rocks and flew towards a target.
This target was a creature flying among the floating rocks. It was also one of Lin's soldiers, the Kraken in the form of a soft octopus.
The flash of light hit it and instantly tore its body into pieces. Because of this, Lin was temporarily unable to carry out the step of teleporting things over.
After sensing that the Kraken was blown up, Lin felt that this Micro Machine was indeed not simple.
It might have sensed that Lin was about to teleport something, so it first targeted the only soldier that could teleport to Lin.
It should have used some sort of detection method to know that Lin was about to teleport, because there would be some 'signs' before the teleportation. It seemed that next time, she should use a teleportation method that did not have any signs … if there was a next time.
Moreover, in order to prevent Lin from teleporting this time, the Micro Machine specially used the base rocks outside.
This attack did not come from the Micro Machine at the center, because the Kraken was millions of kilometers away, and countless rocks were in front of it, so it was almost impossible for the Micro Machine to hit it.
Therefore, the Kraken was hit by a floating rock that was very close to it. This floating rock was obviously one of the Micro Machine's hidden bases outside.
Moreover. It did not use the strong hidden … warhead to attack, but directly used a very powerful attack to instantly kill the Kraken.
This attack was not very hidden, so this base rock was quickly discovered by the Gel Creatures.
Lin could see that a Gel Battleship was rapidly approaching it, and then, like last time, it blew up this base rock.
Previously, Lin felt that the Micro Machine paid a lot of attention to the base rocks outside, perhaps because there were not many of them, or because it was not easy to build them under the Gel Creatures' exploration. Therefore, after the first time, it did not use this kind of rock to attack Lin's troops.
But this time, it meant that it was willing to give up the base rock to blow up the Kraken.
Lin felt that it was a bit strange. Was the Kraken really that threatening to them? Lin thought that the Micro Machine should not know what Lin wanted to send over.
Lin felt that there was a possibility. Perhaps the micro machine did not feel threatened by the item being teleported, but by the act of teleporting … itself.
Lin felt that something special might happen if they teleported here, because Lin also felt …
The teleportation energy here was a little … abnormal. This abnormality had been there before the battle, but it seemed to be more 'intense' now.
It was obvious that the micro-machines were doing something. Were they leading the collapse?
However, the Star Bus that connected the world was still in a stable state. There was no sign of collapse.
In that case, let's continue this war.
Currently, it was impossible to teleport things here from afar. However, if there was a troop here, it would be possible to teleport things here.
After Kraken was blown up, he was unable to teleport anything.
Even so, the end of this war would not be delayed for long.
A large number of Attack Stones continued to bombard the target. Bit by bit, every part of the mechanical mist was shaved off.
Explosion after explosion. This meant that there were fewer and fewer of them. Although the mechanical fog was still trying to block all the attacks, it was still unable to do so.
It was no longer able to block the attacks perfectly.
However, the frequency of Lin's Attack Stones did not decrease. Although some of the bombs had been used up, these Attack Stones would directly turn into meteors and fly towards the target.
Those that still had bombs increased the frequency of their attacks. Lin had used a lot of 'Void-shaped bombs' in this battle.
They were the bombs of various shapes and sizes. Because they had recently discovered a lot of materials on some floating rocks, they made a lot of them.
Now, these bombs and other bombs were pouring down on the mechanical fog by the thousands.
At first, the light from the explosions could only cause small ripples on the surface of the fog, like raindrops falling into a vast lake.
But now. The light from the explosions had almost completely submerged the mechanical fog. The originally dark void became incomparably bright due to the continuous flashes of light, and the micro-machines' counterattack … also slowly stopped in the light.
None of the attacks were obstructed and wildly bloomed on the mechanical fog. This continued … for a short period of time.
The explosions stopped.
The incomparably large mass of black fog had completely disappeared from Lin's field of vision. All that was left in the void was a large amount of debris left behind by the various explosions. The dazzling light also slowly dimmed and everything returned to its original silence.
Was this the end?
Lin felt that it was not … because the micro-machines should not have been completely destroyed. Lin was not referring to the base rocks that might still be hidden among the floating rocks. Instead, she was referring to the possibility that some of the mechanical fog itself might still be … alive.
At the end of the explosions, although the various flashes of light were extremely intense, Lin was able to see what the mechanical fog was doing.
In the final moment, those micro-machines were like … a vortex. With a single point at the center, they began to rotate continuously.
Before the explosions completely destroyed them, many of the micro-machines had entered the center of the vortex and disappeared.
This appeared to be some sort of special teleportation method. And their destination was unknown. At the very least … it was not anywhere in this floating rock zone.
They had just … escaped.
Their escape was not surprising. After all, after being blasted to such a state, they would definitely do something before they were completely destroyed.
However, the micro-machines' goal was to lead the collapse here. So, if they had escaped, did that mean that they could not achieve their goal?
Or rather, the base rocks here could help them achieve it? Or would they return again?
Lin was not too sure. But this was only temporary. She would soon know because she had a way to investigate.
"Their information … disappeared." At the same time, the mayor also said to Lin, "They seemed to have gone to a very far place in an instant."
It seemed that even the mayor could not connect to them. Lin had a slight feeling that the 'road' in the mayor's mind could connect to a very far place. Even if the micro-machines had run far away, the mayor could still obtain their information.
It seemed that she could not find out now … and it did not seem to have any way to obtain information about the base rocks here.
Because the micro-machines' base rocks did not have Fear Energy, otherwise, it would be easy to discover their location.
Now, let's go search for them first.
With that in mind, Lin had the attack stones in the void that were closer to the explosion to release a large number of … things called 'exploration stones'.
These stone-like objects quickly flew to the location of the mechanical fog. After they arrived there, they began to explore.
Although there were no clues or threads there, Lin felt that they would find a lot of things …
For example, where did the micro-machines escape to in the end?
In addition to searching for the explosion site, many of these exploration stones were flying around and exploring the entire floating rock area.
And the number kept increasing.
Lin mainly wanted to use them to find the hidden bases. She did not know how many there were, but there were definitely some, although it was a bit … troublesome.
Because there were too many floating rocks, they could be any one of them, so they could not be randomly searched.
To search with a purpose, she had to identify the characteristics of the micro-machines' base rocks.
They must be different from other rocks in some way. Of course, it was not something that could be identified from inside, but something that could be detected from far away.
For this reason, Lin also began to study the two original base rocks.
The gel creatures had blown them up, but the explosion was not clean. Many fragments were left behind, and Lin could study their characteristics, structure, and so on.
At the same time, Lin also tried to communicate with the gel creatures. One of Lin's attack stones caught up with a gel warship and sent a large number of messages to ask questions.
Just like last time, the gel warship did not respond and instead slowly drifted in a certain direction.
For this reason, Lin also asked some of the gel creatures with borderline personalities. These individuals had been observing the development of various things here, but they all said that they did not understand the situation.
But they all believed that the destruction of the micro-machines was … a good thing.
It seemed that they knew too little, so Lin continued to communicate with the gel creatures.
After Lin's attack stone had been chasing a Gel Creature for a while, it finally responded to Lin's message.
[They've left.] The gel creature's warship replied to Lin. [They haven't completely left, but that's a good thing. There are still many things to prepare, so we won't be communicating for now.]
Lin felt that they were saying the same thing.
But at least Lin knew that they would still communicate, just not for the time being.
Then let's ignore them for now and continue to explore. Many exploration stones had already flown to the explosion site and began to perform their detection functions.
The place was still filled with 'residual heat' from the explosion. Although the surroundings were completely dark, they could still sense many things.
For example, some traces of teleportation energy, as well as many … the 'remains' of the micro-machines. (To be continued.)
