The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 446: Inciting rebellion right under your nose

Seriously speaking, Chen Shen was like a mouse being toyed with by a cat in front of the fallen angel. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not turn over unless he could risk exhausting his original spiritual energy.

But just as Chen Shen was worried, he had been fighting against the evil demons continuously, and the consumption of his original spiritual energy had reached a rather tense level. If he used his full strength at this moment, even if he killed the fallen angel in front of him, he himself would be attacked by the evil demons because of the exhaustion of his spiritual energy.

This is even more terrifying and despairing than Chen Shen’s own death in battle.

The more people have faced the evil of chaos, the more they understand one truth: in the face of evil, death is the greatest luck and mercy for mortals.

The fallen angel looks bulky, but it is extremely agile in its movements. It delivers the most fatal blows to Chen Shen time and time again.

The fallen angel's attacking moves were extremely simple, consisting of only basic movements such as horizontal chopping, vertical slashing and diagonal thrusting. However, it was these ordinary attacks, coupled with the fallen angel's perfect control of timing and rhythm, as well as his various small moves that were similar to exchanging injuries for lives, that left Chen Shen with almost no power to fight back.

Faced with this situation, Chen Shen could only dodge left and right, jump up and down, like a lively monkey facing a vicious monkey trainer.

There was no way, Chen Shen’s conventional methods could not break the opponent’s defense.

It is said that if you defend for too long, you will lose.

Chen Shen had no doubt that if he could not find a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible, he would sooner or later die under the spear of this big can.

However, if the situation of the battle is to be reversed, apart from Chen Shen's ultimate move, the only means or weapon that can break the fallen angel's turtle shell at this time may be the power halberd used by the fallen angel.

But using the fallen angel's halberd to break its turtle shell is not an easy task.

Not only is the halberd held in the hands of the fallen angel who is the enemy, but also the combat experience, skills and techniques of this strange can have reached the state of returning to nature. The halberd is almost like its own limbs to it, and it can be used at will. The halberd is even connected to this guy's power armor and there is a mechanism.

Whether Chen Shen wanted to disarm or use the opponent's force to defeat him, it would be difficult to achieve.

But this does not mean that Chen Shen has no other options.

In fact, after the two sides' weapons collided for the hundredth time, Chen Shen realized his only breakthrough point - the machine soul.

Machine souls have many nicknames: degraded AI without thinking, weapon spirits, blessed souls, mechanical spirits...

It is said that any mechanical creation of a civilization has the potential to give birth to a machine soul. If you do not find any traces of a machine soul on a mechanical creation, it is probably not that the machine soul does not exist, but that it does not want you to discover it.

There is no doubt that the fallen angel's power halberd is a creation with a machine soul, and the machine soul of this creation has long been eroded and corrupted by the power of chaos, making it perfectly controllable by the fallen angel.

However, when the Power Halberd collided with Chen Shen's Liquan Spear, which was infected by the power of Mind, enough times, the corrupted machine soul inside the Power Halberd was pried open by the power of Mind.

Then, when the fallen angel swung the halberd to attack Chen Shen, the decomposition force field attached to the halberd suddenly flashed.

One destroyed and one illuminated, seemingly inadvertently, but it gave Chen Shen hope of breaking the impasse. As long as he could purify the corrupted machine soul of the Power Halberd, the Power Halberd would inevitably rebel against the Fallen Angel, and it was not impossible for it to even backstab the original owner.

Under normal circumstances, it is not an easy task to purify a corrupted machine soul, or rather, it is very tedious. It requires a series of specific prayers and rituals, and then the corresponding Taoist priests preside over the purification ceremony. Only after doing this for 365 consecutive days can the machine soul be completely purified and restored to its original state.

But if one wants to purify the corrupted machine soul of a hostile mechanical creature directly on the battlefield, it is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.

To be precise, among all the records about demon-suppressing generals and ascetics from ancient times to the present, only Mozi in the Spring and Autumn Period had such ability.

It is said that Gongshu secretly formed a huge army of mechanical puppets and prepared to conquer the world, but it was defeated by Mozi alone in Yingdu (the capital of Chu State at that time, now in Jiangling, Hubei).

But wherever Mozi passed by, all of Gongshu's mechanical puppets lost control and turned against their allies, frantically counterattacking their "friendly forces". In the end, all of the mechanical creations were turned into battlefield fragments due to the internal strife, causing the almost desperate people of the world to drop their jaws and eyeballs in shock.

Mozi became famous through this battle and was respected as Mozi. His doctrine also became one of the three major schools of thought in the world (Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism), and the Mohist school even tended to overshadow the other two.

However, after Mozi passed away, the Mohist school could never produce another figure who could be as powerful as a million soldiers. Then the Mohist school was divided into three parts and gradually declined.

Of course, the most unlucky one was Gongshu.

After the disastrous defeat at Yingdu, the Gongshu clan never recovered. Gongshu Ban's inheritance - the skills of all craftsmen could no longer gain a foothold among the hundreds of schools of thought, and eventually became a low-level skill.

Chen Shen certainly did not dare to compare himself to Mozi, the former sage of the world, but his power of thought also had a purifying effect. Since the fallen soul could be temporarily purified, the fallen and corrupted machine soul should be no exception.

Originally Chen Shen had not thought of this, but the strangeness of the fallen angel's power halberd reminded Chen Shen.

Therefore, Chen Shen became aware of the possibility and, when clashing with his opponent's weapons, he deliberately transferred more of his mental power to his opponent. This increased the efficiency of Chen Shen's mental power that unconsciously infected the power halberd by dozens of times.

As a result, the fight between the two sides turned into a third-rate fight scene with funny comedy effects.

The fallen angel's murderous intent had not diminished in the slightest, but the halberd in its hand always had minor malfunctions from time to time, or the decomposition force field was suddenly shut down, or the halberd abruptly scraped a place it shouldn't have scraped, causing the fallen angel's offensive to be repeatedly interrupted, and it could no longer maintain its previous rhythm of advancing step by step.

However, every time Chen Shen parried his opponent's attack, he would deliberately keep the Liquan Spear close to the halberd, trying to keep the two in contact for as long as possible in order to transfer more mental power to penetrate into them. It seemed like he was in a romantic mood.

But the fallen angel was no fool, and it immediately realized that its halberd was being affected by the human in front of it.

However, it did not take it to heart and just intensified its offensive.

There was a reason why the fallen angel was so careless. It just thought that the opponent was destroying its weapon. Even if the power system of the halberd malfunctioned, with Chen Shen's equipment, he would still die if he got some scratches.

The fallen angel could never have imagined that his opponent was actually trying to incite the very sword he had used for who knows how many years to rebel.
