127: Chapter 127 Failure to Repair the Chief of Staff

Mo Yufei's Divine Soul solidified, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The Origin severely damaged by annihilation was completely repaired, and his turbulent Divine Soul Foundation settled firmly. The scene of the white light swallowing the world just moments ago, and the angry shout that was cut short, were clearly branded deep within his consciousness.

He did not immediately erupt with killing intent, nor did he rush to step out of the Secret Realm for revenge.

The first frame of the battlefield frozen in his mind was the moment the electromagnetic field covered everything, the scene of the electromagnetic pulse sweeping across the war zone from the mountaintop.

The entire external North Mountain battlefield had long been completely cleared under the annihilation, with no living beings or objects left behind.

The Secret Realm was closed and isolated; all beings inside were completely unaware of the deadly trap outside and had no idea what had happened three days ago.

Mo Yufei calmed his mind in an instant and immediately linked with the space System to initiate a global retrospective search.

The North Mountain battlefield from three days ago had long been annihilated to zero, with thirty kilometers of mountains and rivers completely wiped clean.

Seeing this pile of charred and broken mechanical body floating out, Benboba, who was beside him, was instantly full of confusion and couldn't help but lean forward to examine it.

"Brother Fei, what's going on? How did Chief of Staff get injured like this? His perfectly fine body was burned into scrap metal?"

Xiao Hei also slightly raised his head, his pitch-black eyes staring at the broken body, filled with confusion.

They had been in the Secret Realm the whole time, unable to see the external battlefield, unaware of the EMP death blow, nor the annihilation that wiped out the world. They completely could not understand why the always steady and powerful Chief of Staff had ended up in such a completely broken state.

Mo Yufei looked at Xiao Hei and Benboba's confused faces and said: "Under normal circumstances, the technology of those ordinary world planes cannot hurt Chief of Staff, but that bastard is different; he uses products from the System."

The Robot Commander, who was on standby nearby, immediately stepped forward, its mechanical eyes scanning the entire wreckage at high speed, reading the damage data from all angles. A few seconds later, it stood straight, reporting in a cold and rigid voice.

"Report, Boss!"

"After a global scan, Chief of Staff's body shell has melted, the internal circuits are all carbonized and broken, the main control chip is shattered, and the energy core is completely missing."

"The entire machine structure, computational Foundation, and intelligent core are completely destroyed. There are no basic operating conditions, and all functions have been completely lost."

"Verdict: The entire machine is scrapped. It is recommended to dismantle it directly and recycle the parts."

The word "scrapped" was harsh and cold.

Mo Yufei's expression did not change; he did not adopt the suggestion to scrap it at all.

With a thought, two maintenance robots, A-Piao and A-Fu, floated down from upstairs, and a pile of parts was retrieved from the storage compartment, landing steadily on the open ground.

A-Piao had a light figure and was responsible for microscopic chip repair and intelligent Foundation reconstruction.

A-Fu had a precise structure and was responsible for body restructuring, circuit connection, and energy module adaptation.

The two maintenance robots simultaneously lit up with a soft blue repair light, bowing in anticipation.

Mo Yufei's voice was calm as he gave the order.

"Regardless of the cost, use all reserve resources."

"Do your best to repair Chief of Staff with all your might."

A-Piao and A-Fu simultaneously lit up their work lights, their mechanical voices soft and steady.

"Received host's instruction, initiating special emergency repair program."

"Locking onto the dying intelligent core, starting extreme preservation repair."

The two maintenance robots immediately divided the work.

A-Piao hovered directly above the broken core, countless tiny nano-repair filaments extending out, carefully wrapping around the shattered main control chip, bit by bit filling in the cracks in the chip's texture.

A-Fu attached itself to the outside of the body wreckage, precisely connecting every carbonized and broken circuit, fusing and removing the scrapped remaining wires, reconnecting and conducting usable circuits, repairing the large areas of melted body frame, and organizing all the disorganized and damaged mechanical structures.

Inside the Secret Realm, blue light flowed, and dense, soft mechanical sounds rang out continuously.

The Robot Commander stood quietly nearby, observing and constantly refreshing the damage data. Watching the two maintenance robots forcibly rescue the completely scrapped body, its program logic was full of incomprehension.

According to mechanical judgment standards, this wreckage no longer had any rescue value; it was purely Heaven-Defying, forcibly extending its life and reconstructing it.

Benboba watched intently, muttering softly.

"My god, it's rotted into this state and can still be repaired? Can it even be saved?"

Xiao Hei stared tightly at the broken body wrapped in blue light, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Mo Yufei's gaze was heavy as he watched the repair process the whole time.

He was very clear that Commander Shi Haidong's two-step death blow was too vicious.

First, a global EMP electromagnetic strike paralyzed all mechanical combat power, rendering all external support useless.

Then, antimatter annihilation erased the entire battlefield, cutting weeds and eliminating the roots.

If not for the System locking the core at the critical last second of the annihilation, Chief of Staff would have already completely dissipated, leaving not even wreckage.

At this moment, a massive amount of annihilation Origin life energy continuously surged out from the Secret Realm, combined with A-Piao and A-Fu's special emergency repair program, double-pouring into the broken body.

The collapsed circuits restarted bit by bit, the shattered chips slowly stabilized, and the intelligent consciousness on the verge of collapse was forcibly steadied.

After a long emergency repair.

Click.

A faint sound of mechanical reset came out.

On the broken core, a faint but steady blue light struggled to light up, slowly covering the entire core module.

The intelligent consciousness that had been silent for three days barely managed to reconnect online.

A hoarse, stuttering mechanical voice, carrying severe energy loss, sounded intermittently.

"...Main control link... re-locked."

"Full body circuit damage... eighty-nine percent... control chip breakdown... base program large-area crash..."

The two maintenance robots, A-Piao and A-Fu, continued to carry out high-intensity precision emergency repairs.

The long repair process was pushed forward again and again, nano-repair filaments continuously reshaping damaged structures, and massive amounts of energy continuously nourishing every damaged part of the body.

The originally charred and carbonized circuits were replaced one by one, the shattered chip textures were completely reconstructed, and the large areas of melted body shell were re-spliced and patched with precision components.

Inside the Secret Realm, the soft blue repair light flowed ceaselessly, without a single pause.

The physical damage caused by the external annihilation, the hardware breakdown caused by the electromagnetic pulse, all visible and tangible mechanical damage had been completely repaired.

The final assembly step was completed, and A-Fu raised its hand to steadily embed a brand-new, high-spec energy core into the empty position on Chief of Staff's chest.

Click.

Core locked, docking complete.

A moment later, A-Piao and A-Fu stopped working simultaneously, the body's work lights turned from flashing to steady, and they reported in steady voices.

"Report, host, body hardware repair is one hundred percent complete."

"Circuit reconstruction complete, chip structure intact, brand-new energy core installation and docking successful, all mechanical modules, power modules, and tactical hardware are all normal."

"No physical damage, hardware status has reached operational standards."

The Robot Commander stepped forward again to scan and verify, refreshing new detection data, and spoke coldly to correct its previous verdict.

"Hardware detection complete, machine damage is zero, mechanical structure is intact, energy supply is stable, no faults at the hardware level."

Benboba leaned in closer, staring with wide eyes at the brand-new body, full of surprise.

"It's all repaired? The shell is new, the core is installed, it looks like it was never broken, so why isn't it turning on?"

Xiao Hei also leaned forward slightly, his pitch-black eyes staring fixedly at the Chief of Staff's body floating quietly in the Void Realm, his eyes full of confusion.

The entire machine's appearance was intact, the standby lights were normal, the new energy core was slightly warm, continuously outputting stable power, but the whole robot remained silent, with no sign of starting up.

The body did not move, the System screen was black, there were no program pop-ups, and no intelligent feedback.

A-Piao and A-Fu again deeply accessed the background, repeatedly trying to activate the startup program, but all attempts failed, so they could only continue to report truthfully.

"Detection abnormal, all hardware is normal, but the underlying System program cannot be loaded."

"Intelligent Foundation program is in a locked state, startup boot program is blank, core consciousness cannot be awakened."

"Physical repair complete, program level completely paralyzed."

Mo Yufei's gaze was deep; he instantly understood where the problem lay.

Commander Shi Haidong's electromagnetic strike back then did not just destroy the hardware circuits.

That was a targeted rule-level electromagnetic shock. Hardware can be repaired, parts can be replaced, but the underlying System programs that were completely broken through and erased by the EMP cannot be restored by conventional maintenance methods.

The hardware was already at full health, but the Soul program was completely blank.

The entire Chief of Staff was now just an empty shell with a perfect configuration and top-tier hardware, but without a System or consciousness.

It would never be able to turn on by itself, and would never be able to wake up by itself.
