After mechanical ascension, they were essentially immortal.
Within their world, all of them had their data backed up. Even if they truly died, they would simply be recreated in their own world. The only thing lost was their physical body. With enough materials, they could even build stronger forms.
Honestly, this complete abandonment of the body, transforming into mechanical lifeforms—Takumi had no desire for it at all. Giving up the flesh meant losing much of life's joy. That wasn't what Takumi wanted.
Takumi began to hack into the core of this world. It was a huge weakness of the mechanical beings. If someone with the right skill targeted them, their entire civilization could be wiped out.
Without a sound, Takumi infiltrated the world's core—the main server that housed the origin of all mechanical life. Once inside, he finally understood.
"So, this planet itself is one massive server? Not a bad idea!"
A flood of information rushed to Takumi, and he quickly pieced together the situation.
The world beneath him was a colossal server, with processing power beyond imagination. To truly defeat the robots here, you'd have to destroy the entire world. Otherwise, they'd keep coming—an endless supply of undying soldiers. In fact, the more they fought, the stronger they would get. Combat experience and even magic could be shared as data. If one learned something, everyone did.
Takumi even found data from other worlds in the database. There were quite a few worlds the exe had invaded. Takumi licked his lips at the thought—a major haul. Excellent, it was all his now!
And this gave Takumi an idea. When he got home, he'd turn the moon into a giant server, controlling the entire network of his world. Yes, that was settled.
He wouldn't personally abandon the flesh for mechanical ascension, but it was fine for others if they wanted it. From the very beginning, Takumi had made up his mind about his civilization's direction: to gather the strengths of all, letting the culture evolve freely. Anything beneficial would be put to use—cursed children, magical girl armor, everything. More and more people would come in the future.
He quickly absorbed all the information from this world and started to act. His figure appeared in the sky above this world.
The moment Takumi appeared, the planet detected him. In an instant, countless cannons and robots locked onto him.
Takumi just chuckled. The next moment, a terrifying aura exploded from his body. Instantly, alarms blared across the entire planet—
Beep beep beep beep...
The reaction readings sent countless mechanical lifeforms into data chaos—their minds went blank. Before they could do anything, Takumi forced them to shut down.
Reigarzeva and Melvazoa—the two evil gods who controlled all mechanical life—crashed immediately.
When Takumi appeared, Melvazoa instantly sensed danger and tried to prepare his sorcerers for an escape. Melvazoa possessed immortality and the power to manipulate the concept of "existence." He could interfere with his own parallel selves and even control time.
At this moment, he made his move, frantically maximizing the world's computational power to find even a sliver of hope. But no matter how he calculated, it was useless. Once Takumi took control of the planet's server, he noticed everything.
"Impressive power… but this is where it ends. Manipulate time? I can do that too."
With the power of the Cocoon of End, Takumi could control time as well. So, he snapped his fingers, and the entire world froze.
Takumi then unleashed his authority and invaded all mechanical lifeforms, forcing them all into standby mode. In less than a minute, the world came to a halt.
Takumi, finished with his work, called out:
"Leshan Torash, Goddess of Milk? Won't you come out?"
Leshan Torash was a high-ranking goddess in the exe world who ruled over the elves—a benevolent deity. She and her kind had been in a stalemate, locked in combat with the mechanical life. Neither side could truly win.
As for the Milk Goddess… that was the Holy Mother, the favorite goddess of many readers! Because she could grant you a Nyarko! (Serious face)
When Takumi arrived in the exe world, these two goddesses had noticed. They watched as Takumi took over the entire world in a single instant, erasing the consciousness of those mechanical beings—wiping them out at the source. Reigarzeva and his brother were gone, along with their followers.
The two goddesses were shocked by the sheer power on display. But now that Takumi was calling, they dared not delay and quickly manifested.
When they appeared, Takumi saw them clearly: the benevolent goddess was a silver-haired girl, and the Holy Mother was a blonde. Most importantly—they were huge!
"Majestic! I really do prefer them big."
Takumi said this with perfect seriousness. The two goddesses froze for a moment, especially the Holy Mother. She blinked and instantly understood what Takumi meant.
"May you and your readers all find wives to your satisfaction!"
With a flourish, the Holy Mother offered Takumi a blessing. Anyone who liked Nyarko couldn't be a bad person.
Takumi and the Holy Mother exchanged simple greetings and immediately recognized each other as good people.
"So, what do you plan to do with them now?" the benevolent goddess asked, her face complicated.
What Takumi chose to do next would determine the world's fate.
"They're all my spoils of war. I trust you don't mind if I take them with me? Erasing every last trace."
Takumi smiled at the two, discreetly snapping a photo and posting it to the group chat:
Takumi: [@Sagiri @Yuu, if you want to get bigger, go pray to the golden-haired goddess! She's the kami who controls the OP!]
Why not tag the others? The other girls in the chat were already well-endowed. No need.
As Takumi's message went out, Yuu and Sagiri were both stunned.
