Chapter 2497: There’s Nothing That Explosions Can ‘t Solve
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the golden-haired mechanical girl posed this question, a strong sense of déj? vu washed over Song Shuhang. Not long ago, the fat ball’s clone had grappled with a similar doubt and ultimately deceived itself into a crippling situation.
Could he now employ his silver tongue to hoodwink the golden-haired mechanical girl before him?
He didn’t need to maintain the ruse for long; his objective was simply to keep her quietly within the scholarly faction for a brief period.
While Song Shuhang pondered, the virtuous lamia suddenly broke into song, “I am who I am, fireworks of different colors
Song Shuhang was taken aback.
“Don’t play around. Let me see if I can hoodwink her.” he transmitted this thought to the virtuous lamia.
However, as he transmitted his thoughts, the virtuous lamia swiftly moved her fingers. The threads of virtue on her fingertips tightened and ensnared the golden-haired mechanical girl securely.
Simultaneously, the White Dragon waved her tiny claws to reinforce the spatial lock.
“Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, fraternal love!” Fairy Creation used her finger like a pen and quickly wrote a ‘weakened version of the scholarly language.’ At the same time, she emitted a clear and delicate cry.
The barrier formed by her Ten Thousand Words Confucian Script was fully activated. Each scholarly word morphed into a binding force that forcefully immobilized the target.
The three fairies acted in unison, and Song Shuhang instantly grasped that the situation was evolving. The golden-haired mechanical girl had inquired, “Who are you?” while likely engaging in some clandestine activity.
“She’s secretly preparing to escape,” Pavilion Master Chu remarked, her tone dazed. “Although she’s profoundly perplexed about your condition and seeks answers from you, her primary objective is to escape from the world of the golden lotus.”
Within the multiple restraints imposed by the three fairies, a complex series of formulas suddenly appeared on the golden-haired mechanical girl’s body. These formulas consisted of various symbols and runes from different languages—Song Shuhang even recognized fragments of ancient languages among them.
The intricate calculations covered the golden-haired mechanical girl’s body.
Some of these calculations concealed hidden laws.
Even at Song Shuhang’s current cultivation level, he felt a slight dizziness. It wasn’t a matter of inadequate spiritual awareness but rather his lack of expertise in cultivation knowledge. He felt overwhelmed, as though an underachieving student were attempting to comprehend the a.n.a.lysis of an exceptionally challenging problem by a top performer.
“She’s calculating the changes in the three fairies’ spells and formations before breaking them,” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet commented. “Her processing speed is astonis.h.i.+ng. Truly deserving of having once contested the Scholarly Sage as the Heavenly Dao Sphere.”
In any field, computational ability held great significance.
Cultivators couldn’t neglect calculations in battle.
The virtuous lamia, Fairy Creation, and the White Dragon constantly adjusted their spell frameworks and formation layouts. Meanwhile, the golden-haired mechanical girl engaged in relentless calculations that deciphered changes in the spells and formations based on her computations and systematically undid the constraints on her body.
Though the three fairies and the golden-haired mechanical girl refrained from making overt moves, the data and information standoff between them reached an explosive level. Countless invisible data had already saturated the s.p.a.ce between them.
This advanced invisible confrontation surpa.s.sed the complexity of direct combat.
Simultaneously, after transforming into liquid metal, the golden-haired mechanical girl fused with the essence of the Heavenly Dao Ball and mobilized a portion of the former Heavenly Dao Ball’s power.
As her fusion progressed, her physical strength surged. The restraints imposed by the virtuous network and spatial lock upon her weakened progressively.
Furthermore, some of her Dao Artifact capabilities were unlocked!
Song Shuhang’s once-sharp mind had long struggled to keep pace with the calculations involved in the showdown between the three fairy maidens and the golden-haired mechanical girl.
“Don’t worry. As your cultivation level rises, your spiritual awareness will strengthen, and your brain will become more adept at handling such intricate calculations. With some tricks under your belt, most cultivators can handle ordinary calculations, formations, and dispelling them,” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet consoled him.
“If all else fails, there’s always the method of overpowering skill with sheer might. As long as we give it our all, we can overpower anyone who challenges us. Regardless of their calculations, we can subdue them with a single punch.” Song Shuhang found himself speechless.
At this juncture, Black-skinned Soft Feather inquired, “Between Big Sister White Dragon and the golden-haired mechanical girl, who currently holds the upper hand?”
“They’re evenly matched,” Pavilion Master Chu replied.
The golden-haired mechanical girl contended with three adversaries solo, yet she didn’t seem at a disadvantage.
Calculation was the fat ball’s forte.
At that point, Pavilion Master Chu’s hair began to stand on end and readied herself for the worst. If the golden-haired mechanical girl truly managed to break free of the formation, Pavilion Master Chu would be there to confront her directly.
“Later, we’ll figure out a way to disrupt the golden-haired mechanical girl’s calculations,” Song Shuhang stated, stroking his chin.
Simultaneously, he contacted Senior White Two mentally, “Senior White, do
you have any interest in the Dao weapon left behind by the Heavenly Dao Ball’s
big shot?”
However, this time, Senior White Two didn’t respond.
“Is Senior White preoccupied?”
As the ruler of the Netherworld, Senior White had no shortage of responsibilities.
“Senior Song, how should we disrupt the other party?” Soft Feather inquired.
Song Shuhang opened his eyes and said, “Answer her question. Doesn’t she want to know who I am? Then let’s give her an answer.” “Good idea, ” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet concurred.
“Do you need a sound amplification spell?” The sword inquired.
Pavilion Master Chu was bewildered. “Don’t waste any more time. Give her an answer now.”
Song Shuhang nodded, and his liquefied form began to melt. Then, from a distance, he gazed at the golden-haired mechanical girl and spoke in a deep voice, “Do you want to know who I am?”
Amidst her rapid calculations, the mechanical girl cast a quick glance at Song Shuhang with her left eye.
Under her gaze, Song Shuhang’s body began to a.s.sume a rounded form and swiftly transformed into a liquid metal ball.
The mechanical girl was rendered speechless.
“That’s right. Just as you suspected,” Song Shuhang’s voice began to alter. He had once dreamt of the Celestial Thearch, and when the Celestial Thearch was still a fragment of a ghost G.o.d, he had been studied by the Heavenly Dao Ball.
Song Shuhang was emulating the voice of the Heavenly Dao Ball.
The Heavenly Dao Ball’s voice bore similarities to the fat ball, but there were subtle differences in tone.
At this moment, the ball of liquid metal, which Song Shuhang had become, flawlessly replicated the temperament and tone of the Heavenly Dao Ball.
“Impossible,” the mechanical girl retorted, but her frigid tone couldn’t conceal the tumultuous emotions roiling within her.
Boom!
Amidst the surge of emotional turbulence, the mechanical girl’s calculations momentarily faltered.
Her liquid metal form suddenly erupted.
The net of virtue, spatial restraint, and scholarly boundaries that ensnared her detonated like explosives.
The multiple explosions caused the entire world to quiver.
This segment of the Confucian Golden Lotus World grew increasingly unstable!
