Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1044: Chapter 505: Mechanical God Core_2

The Spiritual Ability Family, although they may have some small schemes, ultimately are willing to fight for humanity.

The crowd remained silent and clasped their fists in greeting to the elderly man.

“I’m sorry to have amused you all… If he indeed advances to the Sixth Sense, I will personally take action…” Zhou Yuan also clasped his fists, his body though aged, exuded an extremely powerful aura.

His talent allowed him to remain at the Sixth Sense. However, years of cultivation and research had enabled his combat prowess to reach its peak.

Zhou Yuan’s gaze fell upon the masked strongman: “No need to conceal, since we’ve invited them, show your true self now.”

The masked man hesitated for a moment, then removed the mask.

It was a young man about twenty-seven or eight years old.

“Greetings, everyone, I am Zhou Hao. Thank you for coming to assist us.”

Then, Zhou Yuan’s gaze swept across everyone: “To avoid provoking Zhou Ding, I will follow you from afar. Considering that Zhou Ding is already at Five Senses, friends who are below Five Senses, please stay outside.”

Everyone nodded, and the detective along with two other intermediaries were left behind.

One intermediary reminded his companion: “If things go wrong, leave immediately, otherwise, your family might tear me apart.”

“Understood.” The female Spiritual Ability User nodded.

Another intermediary also warned his companion: “Be careful.”

His companion nodded.

Meanwhile, on the detective’s side… after much thought, he didn’t feel right advising a Champion to be cautious at Five Senses.

So he just said, “Take it easy, brother…”

“Will do.” Li Yelai nodded.

Subsequently, the four of them entered the waste processing station, an already dried drainage outlet.

A while later, Zhou Yuan also ventured inside.

No one knew that at the drainage outlet they were at, an already abandoned surveillance camera silently operated.

It even delayed the surveillance footage by over ten seconds to avoid the Spiritual Ability Users’ inspiration.

…

Meanwhile, in the underground Net Road, inside a still inactive refuge, chaos reigned.

Various mechanical parts, and even daily waste, were piled into little mountains inside the refuge.

Among them, one could even see some Iron Guard Armors that were not yet fully assembled.

These were all things Zhou Ding had hacked from military warehouses through Taboo Items or stolen from certain caravans.

Zhou Ding was startled awake by the sound of an alarm.

He got up from a car seat sofa, opened his eyes, and looked to one side at the floating Mechanical Magic Cube.

“What’s going on?” Zhou Ding grabbed a piece of meat, tossed it into his mouth, and casually asked.

At this time, a dismantled car audio system emitted a mechanical female voice: “There are intruders, five of them.”

“Five? Then it shouldn’t be official… but has the family found me?” The young man frowned: “Switch the screen over.”

Soon, several computer screens lit up a few steps away, displaying several screens.

These screens came from abandoned surveillance cameras in the pipelines.

Or from the dash cams of work vehicles parked on the Net Road.

Even from some phone cameras that had fallen in there.

Now, under the power of the Taboo Item, the Mechanical God Core, all the captured footage was shown before Zhou Ding.

Zhou Ding frowned as he watched the footage, and upon seeing the last old man, his expression changed.

“Old Family Head… I didn’t expect someone like you to take action for me.” Zhou Ding seemed a bit emotional: “What an honor…”

“But it’s a pity, Old Family Head… I’m no longer who I used to be.” Zhou Ding said quietly.

He had once been utterly despaired, his talent indeed so powerful. So young, and he had already advanced to the Four Awakenings. He received countless praise and expectations within the family.

In response to such expectations, he diligently sought to advance himself. But he was stuck at the Four Awakenings level, unable to reach the Fifth Sense.

The disappointed and regretful gazes of the clan members, he still could not let go of.

However, each of his efforts could only lead to despair…

Until, the emergence of that power.

During his third attempt to advance to Five Senses, when he was about to distort, a force smoothed out the dangerous distortion, which was a great being from the Void Realm.

It was a beautiful girl dressed in a purple feathered cloak.

When that purple wing spread, the raging Void Realm power was suppressed, and he successfully advanced to the Fifth Sense.

He instinctively resisted the power of that existence, after all, it originated from the Void Realm, but… the offering from the girl was extremely generous.

After that, his eyes could see things unperceivable to others.

Or rather… data!

For example, a person’s danger level to himself, the odds of victory when facing them, even the degree of affection, etc…

The appearance of this data brought changes to his life.

It was a more keen and intuitive prompt than inspiration.

Therefore, many times he turned danger into safety, even gaining the favor of the girl.

If it were only this, he wouldn’t have slackened.

But this power, that existence, guided him to find the abandoned Taboo Item, Mechanical God Core!

It was a powerful Taboo Item that could almost resurrect any machine soul and turn it into his own.

This allowed Zhou Ding a glimpse into the secrets of the family, even entering the family’s Treasure Vault without being discovered.

This made him extremely conflicted, hesitating whether to reveal this power to the family.

But soon, that existence whispered in his ear and showed him even greater gifts. This completely relinquished his doubts.

That existence projected the rewards for defeating different strongmen into his vision.

By killing or defeating those strongmen, he could gain tangible gains.

Like certain blessings, or straightforward power enhancements.
