Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 343 Slaying the Machines

Upon hearing about the military operation, Xuanyuan Muze immediately agreed, saying, "Great! I'd also like to see how the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races fights."

So Forman arranged a single room for Xuanyuan Muze. However, due to the limited living space, even the single room was less than 30 square meters. This made Xuanyuan Muze feel a bit cramped at first. But the living environment was very comfortable and quiet. Moreover, there were slimes that were responsible for cleaning every day. Therefore, Xuanyuan Muze adapted to the living environment in no time.

After staying at the military base for seven days, Forman informed Xuanyuan Muze that the next operation was about to begin and asked him to board the spaceship with him to visit the destination and observe the military operation.

So Xuanyuan Muze happily followed Foreman aboard his flagship, and the massive fleet was quickly assembled.

Forman led Xuanyuan Muze into the flagship's command and control center, then asked the personnel operating the ships, "Are all the people on each warship present?"

A dragonborn warrior who looked like an adjutant immediately turned around and reported to Forman: "Sir, all 17,586 recruits involved in this operation have boarded the ship and are ready. Please give the order to begin warp jumps."

Forman nodded in satisfaction and then waved his hand, commanding, "Initiate warp jump, proceed towards the target!"

As soon as the order was given, all the warships started up instantly. In the blink of an eye, the massive fleet of warships had traversed a distance spanning most of the universe and arrived in front of a silvery-white planet. Xuan Yuan Muze looked at the scene before him in surprise and asked, "We've arrived so quickly? Can your spaceships travel faster than the speed of light?"

Forman proudly introduced to Xuan Yuan Muze: "It's not possible to break free from the constraints of the universe's rules; only gods can do that. Our spaceship is equipped with a special engine powered by dark matter and driven by space traction technology. Even it can only approach the speed of light under ideal conditions but cannot surpass it. The main reason we can get here so quickly is because there are space beacons left by divine children and spiritual children nearby."

Space beacons allow us to travel directly to a coordinate location using warp technology. You can think of warp technology as a form of teleportation; we can instantly arrive at a known location in an extremely short time, and the time required for teleportation is the same regardless of the distance.

"So, the Spirit Child and the Divine Child can leave coordinates so you can go to any place they've been. I do know a little about the Spirit Child, but what is the Divine Child?"

"The Divine Child is a pure detection particle created by His Majesty the Dragon God. It contains a trace of divine power that enables it to explore the multiverse at speeds far exceeding the speed of light, allowing the Kingdom of All Races to explore every corner of the universe and leave beacons. At the same time, the Divine Child will also report back to the Kingdom of All Races the coordinates of all habitable planets and civilizations it discovers as soon as possible, so that we can control all the resources of the universe."

Xuanyuan Muze nodded in sudden realization and said, "So even the universe can be completely detected? It seems your detection methods are quite advanced. So what kind of military operation are we here to conduct today?"

Forman pointed to the silvery-white planet in front of him and said, "This planet in front of us is where the machine race lives. Today, our 17,586 new recruits will land there to fight. Their mission is to kill all the mechanical life on this planet as their test. Now, Lingzi has locked down most of the destructive weapons on this planet and sealed off its near-Earth orbit. He has also sealed off all possible escape routes for the machine race with a dark domain around it."

Xuan Yuan Mu Ze asked in surprise, "You only brought so few people, what if you lose?"

"Lose? Hahaha!" Forman couldn't help but laugh after hearing Agreed's question. After a while, he recovered and said, "Lose to the Machine Race? How far must the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races have fallen to lose to these low-class beings? Don't worry, even if something unexpected happens, we officers are here to keep things in check. These turtles in a jar can't make any waves. Just enjoy this battle."

Then Foreman shouted, "I declare the assessment open! All recruits, move forward and engage in battle!"

At Foreman's command, all the new recruits on the warships landed on the planet through the space gate. The warriors were attacked by the mechanical race as soon as they landed. Countless laser bullets and strategic missiles bombarded the warriors, but unfortunately the mechanical race's weapons were obviously lacking in power. Although the lasers and missiles hit the warriors' nano armor, they could not break through the energy shields on the warriors of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races.

After withstanding a round of attacks, the soldiers quickly retaliated, using the energy cannons equipped on their nanoarmor to turn the distant machine race into scrap metal. At the same time, the soldiers who came to support from the rear also reacted quickly, rushing to the enemy's side and smashing those robots into blocks of iron with a few punches and kicks.

The battlefield quickly turned one-sided, with the warriors of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races relentlessly destroying the robots and the outer defensive structures. Soon, all the warriors landed and dispersed to begin a brutal massacre of the mechanical race.

"Won't they be picked off one by one if they're so scattered?" Xuan Yuan Muze, watching the live footage transmitted by Lingzi from the flagship, pointed at the big screen and asked.

Forman explained, "Cooperation is a tactic needed when the enemy is stronger than oneself. These recruits all have legendary-level strength. If we need to cooperate to fight the Machine Race, then there's no need for us to join the army of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races."

For some reason, after hearing Foreman's boast, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze really wanted to see the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races get utterly defeated. So he stopped talking and just stared intently at the images transmitted by the spirit, hoping to see something new.

The Mechanical Race did not disappoint Xuan Yuan Mu Ze's expectations. Soon, a troublesome liquid robot appeared on the battlefield. These liquid robots could change their shape at will. Although these liquid robots were still not immune to the energy weapons in the hands of the warriors of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races, they did indeed make the warriors of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races temporarily stop.

A liquid metal robot, transformed into liquid, nimbly dodged the energy cannon of the warrior from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races and swiftly approached the warrior. Upon close proximity, the liquid metal rapidly deformed into spikes, aiming for the warrior's eyes. Unfortunately, the warrior remained unfazed, instead unleashing his battle aura to shatter the liquid metal. The scattered liquid metal quickly coalesced, attempting to launch another attack, but by then, the warrior had already aimed his weapon at the liquid mechanical robot and fired a single shot, evaporating and destroying the robot's body with energy.
