One by one, officials from Star Ring City went in and out, but not a single one of them was willing to pay attention to Arles and the others.

They wouldn't even respond to their greetings, completely ignoring them as if they were air.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached.

Vice President Iserin and several senior councilors hurried over.

"Vice President Iserin, you've arrived."

Arles greeted them.

"Council President, how is it going on your end?"

Iserin asked, her expression grim.

"Not well. The officials here won't even meet with us. How about you? Did you find a reliable intermediary?"

Arles hesitated for a moment before replying.

Iserin shook her head and sighed, "We came to tell you about that. We've searched through everyone we know. As soon as they hear it's an application to see the City Lord, they all become like turtles, retracting their heads. We're completely out of options."

Hearing this, Qiancheng Xue's eyes grew even sadder. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Is there really no other way, Madam Iserin?"

"We've searched everywhere."

Iserin shook her head.

Seeing Qiancheng Xue so anxious, Arles comforted her, "Qiancheng Xue, don't be nervous. We'll think of something slowly. Although the Federation is very weak now and can't exert much influence, it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, it will grow stronger. As long as Su Mo doesn't die, there is still hope. You have to believe in us."

"Yes, thank you, Council President. Thank you, everyone!"

Qiancheng Xue said, her eyes red, and bowed to everyone.

"Take it slow, it'll be alright."

------------------------

Endless Deep Space Prison - Underground Central Control Room.

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Aren't you within my monitoring range?"

In the image, Warden Feizake, clad in a combat suit, was still fleeing in a disheveled state.

"Hmph, a smart brain is just a smart brain. No matter how clever, it's still inferior to a human. That wasn't me, just a substitute. Enough talk, are you going to obediently spit out the Negative God Fragment, or should I send you back to the furnace?"

Feizake stared at the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, with a ferocious gaze. Because of this idiot, so many of his brothers had died.

"Hmph, don't be so smug. Do you really think you've won? Take a look around; whose territory is this?"

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, didn't panic at all, but floated backward.

How could Feizake give it a chance? Since it wanted to die, he would grant its wish. He immediately controlled the V-generation biological mech, Warden of Hell, and charged forward, swinging the giant hammer that crackled with red lightning.

The giant hammer slammed directly into a transparent energy barrier.

Red lightning splashed, and the entire central control room shook violently.

But even so, the energy barrier separating them remained intact.

"Damn it!"

Feizake abruptly pulled back the giant hammer and slammed it down again.

The entire energy barrier vibrated continuously, but it was still very sturdy.

"Just keep hammering, you simpleton. This energy barrier is directly connected to the Endless Deep Space Prison's power core. It's very tough, enough for you to hammer away for a long time."

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, replied smugly.

"Don't run if you have the guts!"

Feizake was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected this guy to have such a trick up his sleeve.

"When did I say I was going to run? I am a god, an all-powerful god. How could a god possibly run? How can you carbon-based lifeforms compare to a god!"

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, said frantically, its entire body glowing with red light.

Then, the metal floor behind it began to crack, and a huge platform rose.

A behemoth mech, two hundred meters tall, emerged. The entire mech's armor was forged from special Klossi alloy ore. Two miniature Star Destroyer Cannons, fifty meters long, were mounted on its shoulders. Twelve launch ports were densely arranged on its abdomen. The black, dragon-shaped claws of the synthetic beast that had been killed earlier were embedded in its hands, along with a scorpion-like tail. It also held a peculiar black-gold bone spear.

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, floated towards the mech, saying with fervor, "Let me show you what the pinnacle of war weapons is. I personally created the V-generation biological mech, Lord of the Prison."

"When did you secretly build this weapon?"

Feizake was about to go crazy.

"I have to thank you for that. You killed that synthetic beast; otherwise, my mech would never have been completed, because there was no suitable spear. But now there is. I put all the synthetic beast's hands and tail on my mech, and melted all its bones into a bone spear."

As the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, spoke, it slowly embedded itself into the chest of the V-generation biological mech, Lord of the Prison.

In an instant, the entire mech's eyes lit up, and it began to move. A terrifying aura immediately spread out.

Cold sweat dripped from Feizake's brow, but he had no choice now but to face it.

If he couldn't take care of this idiot, everyone in the prison would be finished.

At this moment, the energy barrier separating the two disappeared.

The Lord of the Prison seemed to come to life, opening its arms and letting out a deafening roar.

Feizake's eyes were bloodshot, and his muscles swelled as he fully activated the Warden of Hell, swinging the giant hammer to meet it.

"Die!"

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, unhurriedly controlled the Lord of the Prison, simply raising the weapon in its hand to block.

The weapons collided.

A terrifying shockwave swept through the entire central control room, destroying all the control panels and miscellaneous equipment around them.

Then, the entire Warden of Hell was sent flying like a baseball, slamming heavily into the metal wall behind it.

"Is that all the power you have? I haven't even used my full strength yet."

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, shouted frantically, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of crushing its opponent.

Feizake struggled to stand up, feeling his bones creaking and his internal organs aching. He hadn't expected this cobbled-together mech to be so powerful. It seemed he had really underestimated it.

His eyes darted around quickly.

He couldn't fight here; otherwise, he would definitely destroy the entire prison.

Thinking of this, Feizake mocked disdainfully, "What's there to be proud of? That's all you've got."

"What did you say! Watch me tear you apart."

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, replied furiously.

"Wait, it's no fun fighting here. If you have the guts, let's go outside to space and have a good fight. And don't get me wrong! It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that this prison is in good condition, and if I lose control for a moment when I go berserk, it would be a waste to tear it down by accident. Besides, haven't you always thought of this prison as yours? You can't possibly want to watch us tear it apart, can you?"

Feizake said provocatively.

Hearing Feizake's words, the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, actually calmed down. It let out a piercing laugh.

"Haha! Interesting, I know what you want to do? You just want to lure me out to give everyone left in the prison a chance to live? It doesn't matter, I'll grant you that!"

With that, the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, immediately controlled the central control to open a special exit.

The metal ceiling above them cracked layer by layer, leading straight into the universe.

Feizake gritted his teeth and operated the mech, turning into a black streak of light and rushing out.

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, not to be outdone, also controlled the V-generation biological mech, Lord of the Prison, stomping on the ground and rushing out.

In an instant, the two appeared in the vast starry sky.

Feizake raised the giant hammer in his hand and pointed it at the artificial intelligence, Prisoner, taking a deep breath and saying.

"There's something I can finally say to you."

"What is it? Begging for mercy?"

The artificial intelligence, Prisoner, asked.

"Of course not, listen carefully. What I want to say is, you artificial idiot, I've been putting up with you for a long time. Come and die obediently."

Feizake had finally had enough and roared hysterically.
