"Brother Gu is clearly luring you into a trap to kill you with the Equilibrium Jar! You can't go!" Qiji said.
Ning Yu said, "What Qiji said makes sense, Master! If you go, we'll go together."
"Let him go," Ye Ying said calmly, looking at Gu Ya. "You can't stop him. Bai Ying, go with your father."
Bai Ying quickly transformed into a white owl, soared into the air, dismembered its wings, and its body parts scattered, leaving only a sphere of conscious life.
Gu Ya raised his hand and steadily caught the Bai Ying sphere. His body quickly mechanized, the mechanical skin on his right shoulder opened, and a container popped out, placing Bai Ying inside.
This container was something Gu Ya had stored in his body before hijacking the Xianxia General Chairman. He never expected it to be useful now.
Shen Jingming said at this moment, "Gu Ya! Little Red has finished analyzing the soil containing the Equilibrium Jar."
"Trust me, if you encounter the Equilibrium Jar, don't try to resist its effects. Run if you can! Run as fast as possible!"
Gu Ya shrugged and said with a smile, "Nonsense, who would want to confront such a thing."
Finally, Ye Ying kissed Gu Ya lightly on the cheek and said softly, "I'll wait for you!"
...
"Ha! Ha! Ha..."
Gu Ya gasped for breath, hunched over, his mechanical body trembling, and looked up at Lai Jin·Fanan, who was high in the sky.
Gu Ya's body was covered in wounds, the alloy skin at the injuries crisscrossed with jagged edges, revealing the intricate mechanical structure beneath.
He absolutely must not revert to his flesh form, as the ensuing pain would be unbearable.
Not long ago, he had charged alone into the final underground palace,
The moment he encountered Lai Jin·Fanan, the two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Dazzling and deadly attacks were exchanged between them.
The battle lasted for an hour, and the entire underground palace was littered with mechanical wreckage.
These were the remnants of their fight.
Lai Jin·Fanan looked at Gu Ya with great interest and said confidently, "I didn't expect you to last this long. I underestimated you."
Gu Ya grinned, spat out a mouthful of black lubricant, and stared at his opponent, saying, "That's what I should be saying. You managed to fight me to a draw."
Lai Jin·Fanan shook his head and laughed, "Hahaha, which eye of yours saw us as a draw? You are clearly covered in wounds, while I am completely unharmed!"
Gu Ya raised his right hand and grabbed his left arm. With a "click," he forcefully pushed his protruding elbow joint back into place and said sternly, "Are you blind? You've already changed fifteen bodies!"
"This will be the last one! Let's end this."
Lai Jin·Fanan said calmly, his body instantly disappearing. The next moment, he appeared two meters in front of Gu Ya.
A metallic tentacle extended from his back, coiling around an Equilibrium Jar.
The tentacle wrapped around Lai Jin·Fanan's neck and reached between Gu Ya and him.
The dark green liquid in the jar sloshed as the jar swung from side to side.
Lai Jin·Fanan looked down at Gu Ya and said, "Do you remember our agreement? I will turn you into my watchdog."
"When I shout 'activate,' your fate is sealed. Your laughable tricks have been seen through. This entire chamber is made of shielding materials, and you cannot transform into an ethereal state and escape through data streams."
"So, what?" Gu Ya stared fiercely at him.
A smile crept onto Lai Jin·Fanan's lips, and he said calmly, "Accept your destiny, Gu Ya."
"Equilibrium Jar, activate!!"
A sense of powerlessness instantly overwhelmed Gu Ya's entire body.
Even his steel body could not resist this invisible force.
Gu Ya remembered Shen Jingming's instructions: "If you encounter the Equilibrium Jar, run if you can! Run as fast as possible!"
He hardened his heart!
Resisting the irresistible powerlessness, he slowly straightened his body, painstakingly raised his hand, intending to grab the Equilibrium Jar!
Another tentacle extended from behind Lai Jin·Fanan, wrapping around Gu Ya's wrist, and he said, "Mmm, mmm, mmm~ Don't be mischievous, kid."
Unexpectedly,
Gu Ya suddenly took a step forward, extended his other hand, firmly snatched the Equilibrium Jar, and hugged it to his chest.
Instantly, it felt as if countless small hands were clawing at Gu Ya's body, rapidly draining his remaining strength.
Everything that had happened flashed through Gu Ya's mind, finally freezing on Ye Ying's words: "I'll wait for you!"
A heavy punch shattered all the memories!
"Is this my end?"
Gu Ya murmured, and suddenly, his face contorted in rage. He glared at Lai Jin·Fanan and roared:
"Not yet!!!"
Gu Ya quickly pulled his entangled right hand free,
Twisted the lid of the Equilibrium Jar open with both hands!
His eyes met Lai Jin·Fanan's with a cold gaze,
He threw his head back!!
And poured the entire jar of dark green liquid into his mouth!
With a "click," Gu Ya clenched his teeth tightly, not allowing a single drop of liquid to escape!
"Good kid! You've got guts!!!" Lai Jin·Fanan's laughter grew increasingly frantic.
Everything in Gu Ya's vision became distorted.
Lai Jin·Fanan's head and feet overlapped, the floor and ceiling intersected, making it impossible to distinguish up from down.
Gu Ya felt as if he were being torn apart, his crown pressing firmly against the ceiling, his eyeballs spinning in the air, while his chin was securely bound to his waist.
Countless phantom images flickered before his eyes, and screams of terror echoed in his ears!
His steel stomach churned violently, and his alloy heart throbbed uncontrollably.
Enduring all the suffocating, mind-crushing sensations, Gu Ya stood firm, looked at the distorted Lai Jin·Fanan, and said, "You wanted the Mech God's Urn, didn't you? Heh, here you go!"
Only then did Lai Jin·Fanan understand Gu Ya's intentions.
Gu Ya drank the liquid, becoming the Equilibrium Jar himself, and then bestowed divine power upon him, suppressing him!
Immediately after, he sensed something was wrong and roared, "You tricked me!! The Equilibrium Jar's effect is triggered, you can't use divine power!!"
"After so much time, I've already found a way to resist the Equilibrium Jar. Although not as powerful as before, it's enough to kill you!"
As Gu Ya spoke, he shakily raised one hand,
A scrapped battle-armored soldier beside him slowly rose from the ground. Soon, more and more armored soldiers stood up, aiming their guns at Lai Jin·Fanan.
Lai Jin·Fanan roared in anger and charged rapidly towards Gu Ya, shouting, "Let's see who's faster!! I'll turn you into my subordinate first!!"
He spread his arms wide, grabbed Gu Ya's neck, and sharp needles emerged from his palms, piercing Gu Ya's hard alloy skin.
Gu Ya's speed suddenly increased. He held a materialized consciousness helmet in his hand and firmly placed it on Lai Jin·Fanan's head!
Physical contamination and mental invasion occurred simultaneously.
At this moment, it was a race against time.
Lai Jin·Fanan's vision suddenly went black, and after an instant, he found himself standing calmly in an unfamiliar city.
Gu Ya appeared before him intact and said calmly, "Only by provoking you enough would you approach me, giving me an opportunity."
"What? What's going on? Where are we?" Lai Jin·Fanan frowned, looking around.
Gu Ya chuckled and said, "Old man, welcome to my world."
