"Sir, I can't specify anything right now, but I can tell you that, just like before, this abandoned Subworld is definitely not as simple as it seems. For now, let's assess the situation first."
Claire spoke hurriedly.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan could no longer afford to stay in contact with her. He quickly rushed to the Council Base Hall along with other members of the Peace Council Base who had heard the news. However, during this process, he noticed that the entire base was enveloped in a blue and white light.
This light was familiar to Lin Yuan. It was the shockwave created by the violent eruption of Heavy Iron Magnetism. It was quite terrifying; with the strength of his current Mechanical Body, he wouldn't last even a minute in such a shockwave.
However, at this moment, it was clear that the shockwave of Heavy Iron Magnetism was being used to protect the Peace Council Base.
So, what kind of terrible and serious event had occurred?
Soon, Lin Yuan found himself standing in the base hall, which spanned an area of fifty to sixty square kilometers. All the base's Council Members were already present. Three years ago, this number had been 145, but now it had dwindled to 18. Excluding Lin Yuan himself meant that just recently, seven members of the Peace Council had either died or been forced to abandon their Mechanical Bodies and enter a dormant state.
The fall of seven Mechanical Warriors might not sound like much, but considering that there were only 146 members in total, it was enough to cause significant damage.
Lin Yuan could clearly sense the thick atmosphere of sorrow within the Peace Council Hall. He could even see many Mechanical Warriors wearing expressions of grief.
This was strange. However, if one considered that they all belonged to the Original Mechanical Warrior, it became understandable.
After three minutes of silence, the highest leader of the Peace Council Base, known as Ruler Shrek, who resembled a gorilla, finally spoke up heavily and sadly: "This is the most painful day of our lives and also our most disgraceful day. Seven of our brothers, who have fought alongside us for tens of millions of years, have been taken from us by those despicable rat bastards. They have left us forever without even having time for their souls to rest; they have lost the favor of the Mechanical Goddess! This is an inhumane massacre; it is a disgrace to Native Mechanical Life. We must take revenge. We will eliminate those bastards. From this moment on, I, Ruler Shrek, as the leader of the Peace Council Base, initiate a war motion. We will launch a brutal retaliation against the Avengers Council Base, fighting until death!"
At that moment, Lin Yuan finally understood what was happening. The Avengers Council Base, indeed, was a force that completely rejected the hatred of Mechanical Life.
He had heard about it from Patroller Black Whirlwind before. Currently, in this Lost Subworld, there were four remaining factions. The first was the Peace Council, composed of the original Slave Prison administrators, guards, and some Peace-Loving Prisoners. This faction could be considered the most representative of the official remnants of the Mechanical Empire in this Lost Subworld, as evidenced by various details.
The second relatively friendly faction was the Alliance Council Base. This base was similar in nature to the Peace Council Base and was also formed by some prison administrators and prisoners from twenty million years ago. Its leader was a B-Class Ruler, slightly more powerful than Ruler Shrek. Overall, the relationship between the two Council Bases leaned more towards cooperation than conflict.
The third faction was also made up of prison administrators and prisoners from twenty million years ago; however, they were all staunch racists and were thus called the Dark Council Base. Their actions were extremely radical; they not only despised other forms of life but also harbored hatred for Puppet Mechanisms and even looked down upon civilians within Native Mechanical Bodies.
Therefore, if Lin Yuan had inadvertently fallen into the Dark Council Base back then, his identity as a Puppet Mechanism would have led to his immediate dismantling. Even now that he had become a Native Mechanical Body, due to his civilian status, he would still be ruthlessly beaten and enslaved—these were the exact words of Patroller Black Whirlwind.
As for the fourth faction in this Lost Subworld, it was the Avengers Council Base. As the name suggested, all members of this faction were former prisoners, and without exception, none were Mechanical Life. They harbored a deep-seated hatred for Mechanical Life, akin to how rats despise cats and cats disdain dogs—a hatred rooted in their very bloodlines that could not be resolved.
Since the Ancient Protozoan Virus in this lost Subworld had no effect on these other Lifeforms, it became a lawless paradise for them. They became the rulers here, hunting down Mechanical Life everywhere as their greatest source of joy.
This was the background Lin Yuan had come to understand. However, he felt puzzled at that moment; since the Avengers Council held unimaginable advantages in this Subworld, would Ruler Shrek's so-called war proposal truly be effective? After all, they had been relentlessly pursued by the Ancient Protozoan Virus and were hiding like moles, living in constant fear.
Just as this question arose in Lin Yuan's mind, his Intellect received a war voting notification issued by Ruler Shrek. Clearly, the Peace Council employed a collective voting system; he hadn’t expected to have voting rights himself—this genuinely surprised him!
However, Lin Yuan didn’t dwell on it too much. He didn’t believe that casting an 'agree' or 'disagree' vote would make any difference; he was just one individual. If given a choice, he would prefer to abstain from voting. Unfortunately, there was no such option on this war voting form—it was mandatory to cast a vote.
So without much hesitation, he chose to agree.
This decision stemmed mainly from his perception of Ruler Shrek and all other members of the Peace Council's sorrow. It truly resonated with a profound sadness akin to that of humans. In his imagination, although this war proposal seemed unreliable, it was likely that everyone would cast an 'agree' vote out of despair and sorrow. Since that was the case, why should he stand out so much?
Within ten seconds of Lin Yuan casting his vote, the entire voting process regarding the war proposal was completed. Virtual screens appeared above everyone's heads, displaying each person's choice.
"Damn, it's actually a public vote. What the hell—"
For a moment, Lin Yuan felt as if he had already entered a Spartan state; this was just too much!
Out of the 18 votes cast, there were 70 in favor of initiating the war and 68 against it. In other words, if Lin Yuan had chosen to oppose, this resolution would have been directly nullified!
"Seriously, does it have to be this tragic?"
Was this a coincidence?
Was this really a coincidence?
This absolutely shouldn't be a coincidence!
