Qiji said, "Brother Gu, I've already cleaned your stomach. Look..."
Following Qiji's finger, Gu Ya saw a pool of dark green liquid on the ground far in the distance.
Gu Ya felt slightly relieved,
but then became panicked and said, "Stay away from me! My body and spirit have been contaminated by Lai Jing Fanan! I'll soon become his subordinate, I... I'll hurt you!"
Ye Ying hugged Gu Ya tightly, saying with heartache, "Don't worry, Bai Ying is suppressing the contamination for you..."
"How did you do it? Did Bai Ying evolve the ability to infect?" Gu Ya asked, his eyes wide.
"Simulated personality..." Ye Ying explained calmly, "Similar to acting, pretending to have an arrogant personality to gain temporary abilities."
"But......"
Ye Ying couldn't bear to continue.
Ning Yu took over, saying mournfully, "But it's only for a few minutes... After a few minutes... After... Master!! We must find a way to kill Lai Jing Fanan!! only then can we save you!"
Gu Ya shook his head weakly, saying, "It's too late, the contamination is irreversible... Think about the scene when Lai Jing Ximei died. After the subordinate relationship was severed, they fell into madness and destroyed everything they saw without regard for consequences."
Qiji asked, "Brother Gu, just tell us, what should we do?"
Gu Ya looked into the distance in silence,
Bai Ying was confronting Lai Jing Fanan,
From Lai Jing Fanan's body, a blue translucent spherical shield was emanating, capable of blocking all external attack methods.
Gu Ya said calmly, "Lai Jing Fanan has the Jar of Restraint in his body. Although Bai Ying has dragged him into the computational domain, he can still influence reality."
"Ordinary attacks and Mech God Relics cannot kill him!"
Shen Jingming suddenly spoke, "Then I'll drag him into a private space and commit suicide, sealing him completely!"
Gu Ya immediately vetoed, "No! Brother Shen, we can't gamble with your future! Moreover, Lai Jing Fanan's computational power is immense; a private space won't hold him!"
"The only way now......"
Gu Ya was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his head and smiled at Ye Ying, saying calmly, "Ying... For our child... for hope... for all of humanity... I have to do this......"
Ye Ying understood Gu Ya's intention, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Gu Ya with determination and nodded.
"Master, tell us, what is the plan!" Ning Yu asked anxiously, tears welling up.
Gu Ya said faintly, "I've made a contract with the Mech God to obtain the 'Cloak of Concealment.' Before ascending, I will resist the Jar of Restraint and use a backdoor program to completely kill Lai Jing Fanan."
"However, there's a very tricky problem. My body and spirit have already been contaminated by Lai Jing Fanan."
"No matter what, I cannot become a Mech God. Think about it, what would happen to the world if a madman became a god?"
"So!" Gu Ya's tone suddenly became firm, and he squeezed Ye Ying's hand, saying, "Ying, Xiao Yu, Qiji, and Brother Shen... After I make the contract with the Mech God, kill me!"
"While I'm on my last breath, before I fully turn into his subordinate, I will kill Lai Jing Fanan."
"After that, I can die in peace......"
"Ying... To die in your arms would be my best ending."
"There's no time to delay! I'm going to find the Mech God immediately!!"
Ning Yu suddenly grabbed Gu Ya's hand, looking at him with a complex expression.
She slowly stood up, her back to the others.
The hesitation and reluctance in her heart were all scattered,
Ning Yu made up her mind and said resolutely, "Master! Your plan is effective, but it's very risky. We can't walk a tightrope!"
"There's another way. Don't forget, I'm also a divine power user!"
"Imaginary White Hole! Activate!!"
Gu Ya suddenly understood what Ning Yu intended to do. Without any hesitation, he shouted, "No!! Once you become a Mech God, you can't return to reality!!!"
"Ning Yu!!!"
Gu Ya struggled to get up and grabbed Ning Yu's wrist, shouting, "You still have your world to save! You can't!!"
Ning Yu's body gradually became ethereal. Tears in her eyes, she swept a look at everyone and said with a relieved smile, "Master, Mistress, friends who fought alongside me... I've done what I should have..."
Gu Ya's hand suddenly grasped empty air,
The next moment, he opened his palm, and a miniature humanoid card appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Ya felt the power of the Mech God Relic slowly draining away from his body.
He struggled to stand up, put the card in his mouth, and trembled as he walked towards Lai Jing Fanan.
With every step, his heart would jolt violently.
Ye Ying came forward to help Gu Ya, but Gu Ya gently refused, whispering, "Ying, go to the mecha, get ready to kill me."
Ye Ying gritted her teeth, bowed her head decisively, and turned away, wiping away tears as she hurried towards the mecha.
Qiji and Shen Jingming also quickly activated their mechas.
The three mechas formed an equilateral triangle around Gu Ya, Bai Ying, and Lai Jing Fanan.
Weapons were on standby, ready to unleash chains of fire at any moment.
Ye Ying's tears flowed incessantly, her lips trembling as she watched the man she loved walk step by step towards death.
All their past moments flashed through her mind.
"Gu Ya..."
She murmured, her hands finally leaving the control panel. She climbed out of the cockpit, rushed towards Gu Ya, and then threw herself into his embrace.
"No one, nothing, can separate us. Not even death."
This time, Gu Ya didn't refuse Ye Ying. He embraced the woman he loved.
If they had to die, they would die together!
The two helped each other walk to the outside of the blue shield.
Gu Ya shouted, "Bai Ying! It's time!!"
The light on Bai Ying's sphere instantly vanished!
Lai Jing Fanan also woke up at this moment and slowly opened his eyes.
Gu Ya gently released Ye Ying, bit down hard on the card in his mouth, and a shell rapidly enveloped his entire body.
Feeling the power return, Gu Ya immediately activated [Code Tampering],
His powerful system analysis ability caused a loophole in the shield's program, ripping open a large hole.
"Wait for me!!"
Gu Ya, without looking back, plunged into the shield, which immediately sealed itself again.
Lai Jing Fanan sneered and shouted, "Gu Ya! I've seen through your trick!! You never found a way to resist the Jar of Restraint!!!"
"This time!! Your death is at hand!!!"
"Try it if you dare!" Gu Ya shouted fiercely.
"Hahahahaha!!!" Lai Jing Fanan burst into mad laughter, a metal tentacle extending from his back, coiling around a jar. He twisted it open forcefully!
Spraying the liquid onto Gu Ya.
But Gu Ya remained unmoved, continuing to walk steadily towards the enemy!
Lai Jing Fanan's heart panicked. He immediately pulled out two more jars of restraint from his body, quickly opened them, and sprayed them on himself.
Gu Ya lifted his leg, and a floating platform materialized beneath his feet, catching him.
As if climbing stairs, Gu Ya steadily ascended into the air, standing before Lai Jing Fanan.
"This is impossible!!" At this moment, Lai Jing Fanan finally felt fear and quickly flew backward.
Gu Ya instantly vanished, appearing behind him, and fiercely grabbed Lai Jing Fanan's neck with both hands, saying ruthlessly, "Old man!! Your time has come to die!!"
"Ah—!"
Gu Ya suddenly cried out in pain. An invisible, irresistible force erupted from Lai Jing Fanan, connecting directly to Gu Ya's brain!
It's too late!
The contamination had already seeped into his bones!
"Gu... Gu Ya, heh heh, you... you've been contaminated by me. In less than a minute, I'll turn you into a subordinate!" Lai Jing Fanan suppressed his fear, his mouth twitching as he laughed.
Gu Ya's face contorted, and he looked at Lai Jing Fanan's smug yet panicked expression, smiling and saying, "You want to kill me? You die first!!"
"All skills activated! [Code Tampering]!!!"
Suddenly, the vision of both of them was enveloped in a blinding white light!
A passage formed by countless streams of white aurora appeared before them.
Gu Ya dragged Lai Jing Fanan towards the end of the passage!
Lai Jing Fanan roared and struggled with all his might, but it was in vain.
Finally, the two entered a completely sealed space. A giant holographic heart hung in the center of the space, beating rhythmically.
Lai Jing Fanan was shocked. He stumbled backward and fell to the ground, shouting in panic, "This is my core!! Why!! Why!!!"
Gu Ya's entire body transformed into exoskeleton armor, and two crimson light swords popped out from his hands. He glanced at Lai Jing Fanan and said coldly, "Old man, you're scared too."
He vanished instantly,
Immediately, countless straight crimson light ribbons flashed around the giant holographic heart.
With every flash of a light ribbon, a piece of the heart was stripped away!
Lai Jing Fanan's legs trembled violently. He clutched his chest, crying out in pain, but he could do nothing!
When Gu Ya reappeared before Lai Jing Fanan, one of his eyes had turned entirely red, and the other was shifting between red and brown.
"Finally..."
Gu Ya smiled with satisfaction:
"Finally! It's over!!"
Lai Jing Fanan suddenly roared, "No! It's impossible!! I can become heaven and earth!!! My destiny is heaven and earth!!!"
"Bang—!"
The holographic heart disintegrated, scattering into millions of holographic fragments throughout the space.
Gu Ya's body lurched backward, and his vision went black.
He felt a warm force holding him.
Although Gu Ya could no longer see anything, he knew it was Ye Ying, the woman he loved most.
"The time has come, he's dead... act now..."
"Ying, it's so good to die in your arms..."
Outside,
Gu Ya and Lai Jing Fanan both fell from the sky.
Ye Ying rushed forward to catch Gu Ya, then looked at Lai Jing Fanan. His face was ashen, and his eyes were vacant!
Ye Ying raised her clenched fist, signaled Qiji and Shen Jingming, and with tears in her eyes, shouted, "Fire!!!"
"No! Don't fire!!"
Bai Ying's sphere instantly flew up, landing in Gu Ya's arms, and shouted, "I can save Father, I can! I can!"
