So that was it. Everyone understood. They finally understood the reason for the metal devils’ conflict.

Why did they act as if they were not intelligent when they had built houses and weapons as if they had intelligence?

It was because metal devils were a product of metal particles devouring devils, just like metal particles turned into metal men after devouring humans. That was the reason.

The commander could not believe this. He could not believe that he had lost a subordinate under his command. Did this mean that he was completely useless?

However, this was only the beginning. As soon as the first victim appeared, so did the second and third victims.

This was a terrifying phenomenon. Countless metal devils that had been killed turned into the most basic metal particles. These metal particles started invading the magic mechas and the human bodies. Then, they turned into metal men.

What was even more terrifying was that the metal men controlled the magic mechas and turned around. They then immediately attacked their former comrades. Their weapons had changed from sabers, spears, and sticks to laser swords and particle weapons. At the same time, they had intense power. Their attack and defense were infinitely close to the original magic mechas.

The situation had changed!

The situation on the battlefield had started from one side, moved to the other, and become balanced. More and more people were infected and turned into metal men. They then used their magic mechas and attacked ordinary people.

The Epic-ranked creatures used an imposing aura. The imposing aura weakened the metal men’s combat power greatly, but it was still not enough. Epic-ranked experts were beginning to be invaded by metal particles. Once Epic-ranked creatures were invaded, the Epic-ranked imposing aura would be useless.

The situation on the battlefield had changed. Besides, the metal men also had the ability to be revived. Even the magic mechas they were controlling could be revived after being damaged. They were immortal, but people were not.

If this continued, the equilibrium would be broken. In the end, all humans would be infected and this area would become the territory of the metal men.

That was all it would be…

Unless a Legendary-level creature grabbed a Divine Artifact to save the situation or found the weakness of the metal particles and destroyed them, killed them, and annihilated them.

“I found it! I found the core of the metal particles! Look!”

Something unexpected happened. A huge metal ball floated over from afar. The metal ball was nothing special, but there was a long antenna on top of it.

The scientists speculated that the metal ball was the central control of the metal particles. As long as the central control was destroyed, the problem would be solved!

However, someone asked, “Why is the other party’s central control heading to the battlefield? Isn’t this akin to exposing their weakness to the enemy? Perhaps this is a trap?”

However, at that moment, other than seeking support from the black-and-white Titan, they could only try to destroy the central control!

The dignity of the commander did not allow him to seek help from the Legendary creatures of the black-and-white Titan. He, who had the absolute advantage, had fought this battle until reaching this state. This was already something he could not tolerate. If he still asked for help at this moment, he would rather die.

As a peak Epic-ranked creature, he had dignity. However, it had to be said that there was no need for this dignity. Even if he asked for help, the Legendary creatures would not rescue him.

At that moment, the ordinary Legendary creatures on the black-and-white Titan started cursing. They were insulting their descendants, who they found really disappointing. They could not even defeat an enemy of this level and had been forced into this situation.

“If you lose, you might as well just die!” a Legendary creature said. One of his direct descendants was fighting the enemy on the battlefield. However, the enemy was fearless and had unlimited stamina. The direct descendant could not hold on anymore.

“Since he’s my descendant, he shouldn’t be so useless. Perhaps dying on the battlefield is the best outcome for him,” another Legendary creature said. One of his descendants was already dead. He had been infected by the metal particles and turned into an enemy.

The seven Temple Knights were still watching everything calmly, while Wei Huo and the other two Gods were looking at the metal ball with interest.

They were at the Mythical stage, so they could see farther than ordinary people. Of course, they knew that the metal ball was the core of the metal men because the mental wave that had issued the order had been sensed by the three Gods.

However, for some reason, these metal men always showed anxiety. Every existence of theirs gave off a perplexed and confused emotion.

Perhaps this was an emotion revealed by the imprisoned human soul. After all, the behavior of the metal particles seemed instinctive.

However, why had their central control personally gone to the battlefield? What was the difference between this and suicide?

A few Epic-ranked creatures had already broken through a large number of enemies and charged toward the metal ball. Indeed, as long as they destroyed the central control, everything would be over. Wei Huo and the others knew this very well.

However, why would the metal particles do such a thing? Even unintelligent animals would not expose their weakness. If the metal particles acted by instinct, this behavior was too unreasonable.

Boom!

The metal ball had been broken, but it was three times the size of a moon. The so-called central control should have been preserved at the core, so they had to storm their way in.

At that moment, countless magic mechas attacked them. The metal men controlled the magic mechas and seemed like they wanted to stop them. However, the metal men’s attacks were not fierce. That was weird.

Logically speaking, since their base had been broken, the metal men scattered around should have retreated to defend themselves. However, the surrounding magic mechas continued doing whatever they wanted. They kept attacking people, and the particles kept infecting the people around them.

It did not make sense. Nothing made sense. The metal particles seemed to be a contradictory combination.

However, their carelessness gave people a chance. The Epic-ranked creatures kept releasing their imposing aura and killing their way into the center of the metal ball. There, they saw a raisin-like central nervous system.

All the Epic-ranked creatures immediately attacked the central nervous system. Then, their attacks easily blasted it apart.

It was very easy and simple. They had blasted apart the central body. Besides, all the metal men had suddenly stopped attacking. They looked at their metal hands in disbelief and said, “We’re not dead?”

The commander finally let out a sigh of relief. They had won this war!

At that moment, Wei Huo said in the temple, “This is a race destined for tragedy.”

The others were confused. The Snake God asked, “Did you discover anything?”

Wei Huo said, “I understand everything.”
