The cigar in Qin Yu's hand burned down to its end.
He didn't toss it away. Instead, he used two fingers to crush the scorching ember outright.
The spark extinguished at his fingertips, not even leaving a mark.
"Raymond."
Qin Yu suddenly spoke, his voice echoing in the empty combat room.
On the Holographic Screen, Raymond jolted, immediately straightening his posture.
"Boss Qin! Your orders!"
Qin Yu pointed at the massive Holographic projection above, his fingertip landing on a glass sphere glowing with a crimson light.
"I'm going in there for a stroll."
As soon as these words were spoken, the combat room fell deathly silent.
Raymond's single eye widened abruptly, and his breath hitched for half a beat.
"Boss Qin! Have you gone mad?!"
Raymond completely disregarded any sense of propriety, shouting out in alarm.
"That's Testing Ground Seven! One of the core harvesting zones of the Law Council!"
"The Underlying Rules inside there are absolutely locked down!"
Raymond was frantic, sweat pouring down his face as he frantically pulled up data panels.
"No matter how powerful your combat strength is outside, the moment you step into that glass sphere, all your High-Dimensional Equipment will be stripped away instantly!"
"Your Gene Lock will be forcibly suppressed, your attributes weakened to that of an ordinary person!"
"Even your memories could be forcibly tampered with!"
Raymond swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
"It's a meat grinder that devours people without spitting out the bones! If you go in, you'll be meat on the chopping block for those five old bastards!"
Qin Yu watched quietly as Raymond finished his performance.
The corner of his mouth curled into an arrogant, extreme sneer.
"Finished?"
Qin Yu gripped [Extinction · Void Grasp] in reverse.
On the dark golden body of the spear, destructive Space power churned like tangible Black Mist.
"Raymond, you've misunderstood one thing."
"Rules are meant to restrain dogs."
Qin Yu slammed the long spear heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
The alloy floor of the entire combat room instantly cracked with a dense web of fissures.
"This spear in my hand can even erase the coordinates of this universe."
"What are a few broken glass spheres' Underlying Code worth?"
Raymond was shaken by this terrifying oppressive force, collapsing back into his command chair, utterly speechless.
Looking into Qin Yu's eyes, which radiated absolute tyranny, he finally understood one thing.
The man before him simply didn't give a damn about the lofty Administrator.
He was going to wreck the place.
Qin Yu released his grip, the long spear transforming into a stream of light that shot back into his system space.
He pointed at Raymond on the screen, his tone turning icy.
"I'm going in to smash their fishbowl."
"You stay outside and guard the damn door for me."
Qin Yu strode to the holographic control console, planting both hands on the desk.
"The three thousand warships of the joint fleet, form a spherical formation! Seal off the outer Space of Testing Ground Seven completely!"
"The Tyrant will coordinate from the center."
Qin Yu stared fixedly into Raymond's single eye.
"If the Law Council sends dogs for reinforcements."
"For every ship that comes, you smash one."
"If ten thousand come, even if you have to bite with your teeth, you tear their armor apart!"
Raymond's entire body shuddered violently. He shot to his feet and slammed a fist against his own chest.
"Rest assured, Boss Qin!"
"As long as I, Raymond, have a single breath left, even if the entire combined fleet is wiped out, I won't let a single fly enter Testing Ground Seven!"
Qin Yu sneered coldly.
"You'd better keep your word."
"Old K! Su Tian!"
Old K immediately pushed the door open and rolled in from outside, while Su Tian's voice echoed simultaneously through the communicator.
"Boss!"
"Master! Your orders!"
Qin Yu pointed toward the Tyrant in the sky.
"You two stay on the ship and take over the highest Fire Control authority of the Tyrant."
"If Raymond's men dare to retreat half a step, or if they have any treacherous thoughts—"
"No need to ask for permission. Blow his flagship to pieces with the main cannon!"
Raymond wiped the cold sweat from his forehead on the screen, repeatedly insisting he wouldn't dare.
After arranging everything outside, Qin Yu turned and looked at the four women behind him.
Li Ruobing had already holstered the two shotguns back into the thigh holsters on either side, replacing them with the two High-Frequency Vibration Combat Blades in her hands.
She trembled with excitement, the killing intent in her eyes completely unconcealed.
"Qin Yu, I've long been sick of those damn spheres in the sky."
"Once we're inside, we kill anyone we see, slaughter any ghosts we encounter, right?"
Elena knelt on one knee, the energy bar on her S-Class Mechanical Prosthetic already pushed to the edge of the overload red line.
"The Valkyrie Corps guards have assembled."
"We are ready to die for the commander."
Yao Xue pulled an extremely sharp scalpel from the medical kit, twirling it playfully between her fingers.
"I am, after all, the head of surgery. Dissecting a few mechanical tin cans shouldn't be a problem."
Though Yao Qian's face was pale with fear, she clung tightly to Qin Yu's arm, refusing to let go no matter what.
"Wherever Brother Qin Yu goes, I go."
Qin Yu looked at his women and laughed recklessly.
"Good!"
"Let's go! Follow me inside and flip those five old bastards' tables!"
Ten minutes later.
From the bottom of the Tyrant Planet-Destroyer Ship, another azure-blue tractor beam shot out.
Qin Yu, along with the four women and three hundred Valkyrie warriors meticulously selected by Elena, ascended directly into the Tyrant's deployment bay.
On the massive Holographic Screen, the image of Testing Ground Seven was magnified countless times.
It was a Wasteland city shrouded in acid rain and toxic fog.
Amid countless towering, dilapidated skyscrapers, desperate cries of slaughter filled the air.
Crimson bloodlight continuously flared, transforming into energy that was siphoned away through pipelines.
"Lock coordinates."
Qin Yu stood at the center of the deployment bay, issuing the order expressionlessly.
"Coordinates locked. Target: Central area of Testing Ground Seven," Su Tian's voice came through.
"Boss, there's an extremely strong Rule Barrier around the testing ground's perimeter. Conventional physical deployment bays can't penetrate it!"
"No deployment bay needed."
Qin Yu directly cut off Su Tian's words.
He raised his right hand, and [Extinction · Void Grasp] once again appeared in his palm.
Qin Yu swung the spear fiercely, its dark-golden tip carving a blinding black line through the air.
"I'll open the door myself!"
"Hummm—!"
Accompanied by a teeth-grating sound of Space tearing.
The metal wall directly in front of the deployment bay, along with the vacuum beyond, was forcibly ripped open by a black fissure dozens of meters long!
On the other side of the fissure, howling winds mixed with the pungent smell of acid rain poured directly into the bay.
That was the interior of Testing Ground Seven!
"Go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yu wrapped an arm around Yao Qian's waist and led the charge into that pitch-black Spatial Rift.
Li Ruobing let out a wild laugh and leaped down.
Elena followed closely behind with three hundred Valkyries.
Yao Xue took a deep breath and stepped into the rift with her long legs.
As the last person entered, the Spatial Rift instantly closed.
Testing Ground No. 7.
Wasteland City, Core Plaza of Zone A.
A one-sided massacre of unimaginable cruelty was unfolding here.
Over a thousand ragged survivors were tightly trapped in the center of the plaza.
Surrounding them were over a hundred three-meter-tall Mechanical Slayers.
These mechanical monstrosities were entirely silver-gray, with high-speed rotating Ionic Chain-Saws for arms and cold red light flickering in their Electronic Eyes.
They were the "Scavenger-class" units deployed by the Law Council into the Testing Ground.
Their sole purpose was to harvest survivors at the peak of their despair.
"Ah—!"
A woman holding a child had her legs shredded by a chain-saw.
She screamed in utter despair as her body rapidly withered, transforming into a streak of red light that shot toward the sky.
The remaining survivors huddled together, trembling, their eyes filled with nothing but pure terror.
"There's no hope... We're all going to die here..."
"Why! What did we do wrong!"
A burly man desperately raised a rusted iron pipe, attempting one last struggle.
A Mechanical Slayer instantly rushed before him, raising its chain-saw high, ready to split him in half.
At this critical moment.
The gray toxic fog above the plaza suddenly began to boil without warning!
"Boom—!"
A deafening thunderclap exploded above everyone's heads.
Immediately after, the sky shattered like a mirror struck by a hammer, instantly cracking with countless black spiderweb-like fissures!
A Mechanical Slayer's Electronic Eyes snapped upward, its red light flashing frantically.
[Alert! Detecting unknown spatial collapse!]
[Alert! Underlying logic error!]
Before these mechanical monstrosities could react.
A large foot clad in black tactical combat boots, carrying apocalyptic kinetic energy, stepped out directly from the rift!
"Bang—!!"
Qin Yu descended like a meteor from the heavens, crashing squarely onto the head of the Mechanical Slayer about to swing its chain-saw.
The three-meter-tall, hardened mechanical alloy proved as fragile as tofu under Qin Yu's foot.
With a tremendous "Crack!"
The Mechanical Slayer's head was stomped straight into its chest cavity!
A violent shockwave erupted from Qin Yu as the epicenter, wildly expanding outward and instantly hurling over a dozen surrounding mechanical monstrosities into the air.
The hard plaza ground was smashed into a crater over ten meters in diameter.
Dead silence fell over the entire scene.
Both the despairing survivors and the emotionless mechanical monsters froze in place at that moment.
As the dust settled.
Qin Yu slowly straightened his back.
He twisted his neck, emitting a series of bone-chilling cracking sounds.
Just then, a cold, grand mechanical synthesized voice suddenly echoed through the sky of Testing Ground No. 7.
[Warning! Illegal intruder detected!]
[Underlying Rules activated!]
[Commencing erasure of intruder's High-Dimensional Equipment...]
[Forcibly suppressing intruder's Gene Lock...]
[Commencing deprivation...]
"Deprive your mother's head!"
Qin Yu abruptly looked up and roared furiously at the sky.
In his mind, the System's notification tone exploded with even greater ferocity than the sky's voice.
[Ding! Detection of inferior rule intrusion!]
[System Defense Mechanism Activated!]
[Absolute Immunity Activated! Erasure Failed! Suppression Failed!]
The mechanical synthesized voice in the sky seemed to glitch, emitting a piercing "zizi" sound.
[Error... Erasure Failed...]
[Activating Contingency Plan: Execute On-Site!]
As this command was issued.
The Electronic Eyes of over a hundred Mechanical Slayers surrounding the plaza instantly all turned blood-red.
They abandoned the survivors, turning their heads in unison to lock firmly onto Qin Yu at the center of the crater.
"Bzzzzzz—"
Over a hundred Ionic Chain-Saws simultaneously operated at full power, the deafening roar painful to the eardrums.
Qin Yu looked at these charging piles of scrap metal, a cruel grin spreading across his lips.
"With just this little show, you think you can kill me?"
Qin Yu didn't even bother drawing his gun.
He tilted his head slightly and snapped his fingers.
"Ruo Bing, Elena."
"Clear the field."
The moment Qin Yu's words fell.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
From the Spatial Rift in the sky that hadn't fully closed yet, figures once again rained down like dumplings.
Li Ruobing, wearing a hot vest, extended her long legs mid-air, landing steadily on the shoulder of a mechanical monster.
"Die, you tin can, shatter for me!"
Li Ruobing let out a wild laugh, the High-Frequency Vibration Combat Blades in her hands transforming into two blinding streaks of white light.
"Shiiii—"
That three-meter-tall Mechanical Slayer was cleanly sliced into four neat pieces without even managing a defensive move.
The cuts were smooth as mirrors, not even a spark flying.
Elena's landing was even more violent.
Like a golden meteor, she smashed directly into the dense formation of mechanical monsters.
The azure Light Blades on her S-Class Mechanical Prosthetic instantly surged to five meters in length!
Gripping the blade with one hand, Elena executed an incredibly violent 360-degree horizontal sweep on the spot.
"Crack crack crack crack—"
Seven or eight Mechanical Slayers were bisected at the waist, their upper bodies crashing heavily to the ground, spewing machine oil wildly.
Immediately after, three hundred fully-armed Valkyrie warriors descended in perfect unison.
Without a word of waste, they directly raised their Gauss Rifles.
Blue high-energy armor-piercing rounds fell like a dense torrential rain, instantly riddling the remaining mechanical monsters with holes like a hornet's nest.
