Lin Yuan had no doubts about Saxson; he was completely captivated by the incredibly complex Chaotic Program. In just a few seconds, his consciousness became fully immersed, and his body transformed into countless light points, blending with the intricate Chaotic Program until it was indistinguishable.
At that moment, a faint sigh echoed, and the entire Chaotic Program began to operate rapidly, resembling an unfathomable expanse of starry sky.
Suddenly, a slender hand emerged from the void, and the Chaotic Program, which had enveloped the entire space, began to contract around that hand as its core. In an instant, the vast and complex Chaotic Program shrank to the size of a ping pong ball, still spinning rapidly.
The owner of that hand gradually became visible—it was Claire. On the other side, Instructor Saxson also appeared but had reverted to his form as a Mechanical Warrior.
"Lady Claire, everything has been done according to your instructions. The Chaotic Program has been initially generated! However, I am concerned that the soul of Newborn Papaya comes from a low-level Lifeform. How could it possibly withstand the impact from the Chaotic Program? Even if this is the most basic Chaotic Program, one small mistake could cause it to vanish from this world forever."
Saxson spoke to Claire with great reverence, but his words were completely different from how he had addressed Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan had heard this at that moment, he would likely have been furious because it sounded as if Claire had given the orders.
However, Claire seemed oblivious to Saxson's concerns as she continued to gaze at the Chaotic Program sphere. After a long while, she appeared to be speaking to herself when she said, "This is not the lowest level of Chaotic Program; it embodies the SSS-Level Chaos Rule."
"What? SSS-Level Chaos Rule? How is that possible? Lady Claire, even if you intend to eliminate this low-level lifeform, you wouldn't need to go to such lengths!" Saxson exclaimed in shock, completely overturning his expectations.
"You don't need to judge my actions; your mission is over. Memory erased!"
Without even looking at Saxson, Claire spoke calmly. Her words carried a divine authority that seemed to dictate reality itself. As soon as she finished speaking, Saxson transformed into countless subprogram symbols and vanished without a trace.
Only then did Claire let out a soft sigh and say, "Sir, it's not that I wanted to deceive you; it's just that the situation has become incredibly urgent. In fact, what I previously said about the dangers of this Subworld was a lie because the hidden dangers here are a thousand times more terrifying than my own! This Subworld holds a Mechanical Demon that even the Mechanical Ancestor fears. To capture this Mechanical Demon back then, the Mechanical Empire sacrificed five Mechanical Goddesses, sixteen SSS-Level Arbiters, four hundred thirty-one SSS Destructioners, and countless elite forces of the Mechanical Empire just to imprison it here. This Subworld was created specifically for confining this Mechanical Demon. Unfortunately, billions of years have changed everything; I never expected you would stumble into this Subworld—such is fate!"
"I apologize, sir. I am one of the Nine Great Mechanical Goddesses of the Mechanical Empire. Though I am incomplete, I will never allow this Mechanical Demon to be reborn. I know this Subworld well; that Mechanical Demon cannot escape. None of the other mechanical guards can break free—only I possess this method. Let everything fall into slumber and be forgotten forever; this Subworld will never be opened again! But rest assured, the SSS-Level Chaotic Program will ensure your soul exists eternally. Even if this universe collapses, it will have no effect on you. I will always be by your side until time itself fades away."
As Claire finished speaking, her body began to bizarrely disintegrate; yet she remained unfazed, her expression solemn and calm.
"Grant rules!"
"Grant power!"
"Grant wisdom!"
"Grant courage!"
"Grant resilience!"
"Grant me luck!"
With each utterance, a part of Claire's body crumbled away until she completely ceased to exist. The Chaos Rule sphere surged wildly, instantly engulfing the entire folded space, then the second folded space, and finally reaching the first folded space, where it devoured Lin Yuan's original Mechanical Body entirely.
Simultaneously, this consumption echoed throughout the Mechanical Dragon. Ruler Shrek, Administrator Boulder, and hundreds of powerful Mechanical Warriors were still trying to comprehend what was happening when they were already assimilated.
As for the formidable Mechanical Dragon, it barely held out for three seconds.
After consuming the Mechanical Dragon, the Chaos Rule showed no signs of stopping; instead, it spread in all directions, even swallowing the void itself. The previously nearly incomprehensible Ancient Protozoan Virus was utterly powerless against this voracious consumption.
The very essence of the Subworld was engulfed within this devouring force!
It continued to expand and swell!
Amidst the consumption, an extremely unwilling roar suddenly erupted, "No! Impossible! My plan has reached its final step; how can this be? How can this happen? I refuse! I refuse!"
This roar resonated throughout the entire Subworld, sending tremors through all beings yet to be consumed by the Chaos Rule. It was a feeling of impending doom.
Six Heavy Iron Magnetic Storm Cores exploded in an instant, releasing a void-like yet immensely powerful will that surged forth, constantly clashing, struggling, and resisting. It even caused violent tremors in the Chaos Rule, nearly leading to its collapse. However, in the end, the Chaos Rule suppressed that void-like will, gradually eroding and consuming it until it was completely swallowed.
When the entire consumption was complete, this vast Subworld—of an unknown extent—vanished entirely. Everything returned to the desolate cosmic void as if nothing had ever existed.
The entire dimensional universe would completely forget this Subworld.
Far beyond in the starry sky, a beam of light traveling swiftly suddenly paused.
"Strange, why do I feel a sense of sorrow? Has a part of my soul completely vanished?"
"But that shouldn't be possible; even if consciousness ultimately emerges or splits again, it shouldn't disappear!"
"Unless—unless it was an active obliteration of rules. But why would it come to this? Why would it come to this?"
(The End)
Although extremely reluctant, I can no longer continue under these circumstances, so I will take a break for now and start a new book. I expect to upload it in the next few days, and I hope everyone will support me. Lazy Bird is very grateful.

Synopsis:
This is actually a lie, because Lin Yuan doesn't even know whether this is true or not.
The only thing he can confirm is that he works for a company called Chaos Antivirus Base. Every so often—specifically, every seventy-two minutes and twenty-four seconds—he has to start a new round of junk cleaning, System maintenance, Trojan removal, virus monitoring, and other tasks.
What? You think this job is easy?
Lin Yuan can only weep bitterly...
And yes, he really is weeping... (To be continued)
