Leaving aside why these Terminators suddenly appeared, if they were tracking him for the "seed," there would be no reason not to react. If they simply wanted to kill him, then it was even simpler—continue the pursuit.
But now their reaction seems to be...
【mission completed. 】
The crimson light flashing in the electronic eye instantly turned into a pure emerald green.
At the same time, the seed, which had been tossed far away by the gecko, was caught by a figure that suddenly leaped up from the ground after flying more than two hundred meters.
"Hahaha, I found it! This thing is mine—"
When matter comes into direct contact with matter, its properties change.
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 293 Matter Conversion Bomb (Part 2)
What happened in that instant was not something that could be described as a "phenomenon".
Although they differ structurally from ordinary humans, the most essential life composition of reincarnators has never changed—they are carbon-based life forms.
The bones, limbs, flesh, and skin that make up their existence are all warm things, and when these distinctive “things”, fundamentally different from metal, come into direct contact with that “seed,” everything is changed.
Calling it a "bomb" might not be the most appropriate term, but given its widespread dissemination, there really isn't a more suitable name than "bomb."
Its "detonation" method is not the conventional understanding of flame or impact, but merely "contact": contact with things that are mainly flesh and blood and are basically composed of carbon.
What it produces after detonation is not a bright light or an explosion, but merely a ring of "ripples" that cannot be seen with the naked eye. These ripples spread outwards at a speed close to that of sound, but subtly do not cause any visible energy release effect, merely causing slight changes to the objects affected by them...
It is indeed very small, for example, turning those "carbons" into "silicon".

Over thousands of years, humans have learned how to extract substances from nature and then shape them into desired forms in a relatively short time. Essentially, the properties of those substances remain unchanged: iron is still iron, and soil is still soil; they have simply been mixed or compressed.
Humans have sometimes considered the conversion between different types of matter, but it wasn't until the theory of relativity was proposed in the last century that they officially entered this field. However, that was a conversion between "matter" and "energy," not a conversion between "matter" and "matter."
In the vision of the pioneers, the process required for "matter" to be transformed into another type of "matter" is far more complex than the conversion between "matter" and "energy," because that means that "matter" must first be converted into "energy," and then this "energy" must be used to convert into another type of "matter."
A near-fantasy idea.
Those who lacked the means at the time quickly abandoned this idea, let alone put it into practice. If those people were alive today and witnessed what was happening here, perhaps they would have a different conclusion...
The transformation of "matter" into "matter" does not necessarily require the use of "energy".
Invisible ripples swept silently across this land covered by all kinds of flesh and soil, leaving nothing out, from the smallest atom to the colossal reincarnator giant.
At first, nothing unusual happened; the battle continued, and the atoms were still moving and colliding.
After 0.1 seconds, the constantly moving atoms began to stop: they stopped in a way that transcended human scientific understanding. The most intuitive chain reaction was that all the active "carbon-based life forms" stopped after 0.2 seconds.
0.3 seconds later, the reincarnator who was at the center of the "detonation" and the first to be swept by the "ripples" froze.
Starting from the very tips of tiny hairs, an unusual silvery-white color replaced the original pitch black. The cornea, still retaining a hint of smugness, was solidified and frozen, turning into a solidified "sculpture" along with that mocking smile—then came the clothing, skin, flesh, nerves, bones...
One second later, the "person" is still a "person," only now it has changed from a living "person" to a dead "person"... or rather, from a flesh and blood life form to a metal object.
He closed his eyes in silence.
After the second hand on the atomic clock ticked three times, Lin Yi opened his eyes again and was greeted by a completely unfamiliar scene.
From the ground beneath our feet to every figure standing on it, from the rubble that hadn't yet fallen into the air to the plastic covering the wires... everything was replaced by metal.
The battlefield, which was in chaos and strife just three seconds ago, became completely silent in just three seconds. Apart from the clanging sound of metal particles falling onto the "iron surface," there was no living creature to be found.
It was at this moment that the Supreme God's analysis reached a conclusion.
[Internal structure analysis complete. This substance possesses the ability to transform non-silicon-based substances into silicon-based substances, with the best effect on carbon-based organisms. The triggering mechanism is direct physical contact, and the diffusion range is—]
"Capture the phenomenon of global coordinate shifts."
[Incorrect command. No world transfer detected in the current world... World transfer phenomenon detected, small scale, one in number]
Turning around, he stepped directly out of the enclosed space. The Zhuxian Sword, its surface covered in cracks, had appeared behind him at some point, floating and moving forward with him: "Reverse positioning of the projected world coordinates, converting all the energy collected by the 'Dyson Sphere' into reserve energy, preparing to open the world transfer channel, power at maximum output."
【Command confirmation】
[Coordinate positioning in progress... Positioning complete, energy conversion in progress...]
"Finally... spatial warp, object: me, target: Earth in 2029, coordinates: 5000m above central Los Angeles"
[Command confirmed, coordinates locked, warp initiated—]
After a moment of disorientation and spatial disorientation, everything before my eyes underwent a dramatic transformation.
Pulled by the magnetic field, Lin Yi remained under the sky surrounded by numerous dense electromagnetic pulses.
The countless dust particles that had accumulated in the sky had long since turned into equal amounts of metallic particles and fallen, restoring this empty and bright azure sky—but that was all that remained of it.
Looking down, what comes into view is a "raging tide".
Suspended half a meter above the ground, the head-sized "stone" that had just been transferred here from another world frantically spread this invisible radiation wave. The metal that constitutes the "matter" of the entire Los Angeles was given "power" in this indiscriminate radiation, whether from the ground, from the "human body", from buildings, or from the wreckage... They were born, stood upright, and then, without prior agreement, used their electronic eyes to "gaze" at the silent figure watching everything unfold on the other side of the sky.
—What belongs to the “fragments” is such a complete system.
From the basic material composition: silicon-based material transformation
Mid-term energy endowment: radiation-induced metal activation
Then came the later stages of plunder and devouring—
"Metal Frenzy..."
Facing a seemingly endless tide of metal, numbering in the millions, he gripped the motionless blade behind him with his left hand.
[World One Gateway Open, Completion 1%]
As if simultaneously receiving a start signal, the surging tide of metal rushed toward that tiny figure at the edge of the sky.
"The Five Elements, Earth Tribulation."
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 294 Metal Frenzy (1)
In the spiritual worldview, earth represents one of the five elements. Naturally, only things containing the earth element can vibrate from this source. It is obviously useless to deal with the raging tide composed of these metals. However, what Lin Yi needs is not the "earth shaking" itself, but only the second power system derived from the pull of this spiritual torrent.
The Zhuxian Sword, which contained 1% of the total spiritual energy of the entire world, was pointed downwards. In an almost indifferent tone, the illusory words themselves transformed into tangible power: "All things return to one."
—Earth represents the ground, the ground represents weight, and weight generates power.
"gravity."
Where the sword pointed, an invisible wave spread and proliferated, restraining the surging metal tide that had been rushing upwards. Instead of rising even half a step, it gradually retreated and was squeezed and collapsed towards the center.
Three thousand meters above the ground, an "iron ball" made entirely of metal took shape from nothing, growing larger and larger, until a suppressed "groan" came from the blade of the Zhuxian Sword. Only then did Lin Yi put it down and softly utter a syllable: "Thunder".
"Snap!!!"
The intense collision of the upper atmosphere caused a thunderous torrent that traveled tens of kilometers and crashed down, striking the very center of the "iron ball" below, whose radius had expanded to more than 500 meters.
Amidst a distorted roar that nearly ripped eardrums, shattered metal fragments traced fiery trails across the sky, carrying more reactive metal that couldn't avoid them into the ground.
……
The lightning dissipated, but the residual current still threatened the surging tide of active metals below that were trying to pass through. Countless active metals were destroyed in this attack that covered an area of nearly fifty kilometers. However, the truth was that their total amount had not decreased at all, but had expanded by nearly twice as much as before.
"...Of course."
If the means by which Lin Yi, as another "fragment," plunders and seizes the world are only this limited, then Lin Yi doesn't need to be so cautious and proceed step by step. He could just take the Immortal Execution Sword and charge straight in.
But now that things have come to this, it seems there's no difference...
[The portal to the unknown world has been opened; completion rate 1%]
Looking up at the "passage" above him, which was expanding at a visible speed, Lin Yi took a deep breath—
"Overload"
[Command confirmed, overload mode activated]
Within his open left eye, a mysterious and eerie azure light condensed to the point of being almost tangible. When projected onto this space, it reflected as gray-black "lines," interspersed with a few unremarkable gray dots. He gripped the cracked Immortal Execution Sword in his backhand and slashed at those gray lines with all his might.
“——————!!!”

Cybertron, the central planet of the Ninth Planetary System.
No one knows the origin of Cybertron, not even the Transformers who were born, grew up, and fought to their deaths on this planet made entirely of metal.
Based on the limited records that have been passed down, there are very few things that can be confirmed about the Transformers, including that Cybertron existed before the first Transformer was created, and that all Transformers originated from the same thing—the AllSpark.
The history of the Transformers is intertwined with the AllSpark, which in turn is intertwined with Cybertron. Therefore, the Transformers have a responsibility and obligation to protect Cybertron. Thus, in order to fulfill this responsibility and obligation, they began a long battle, honing their skills and experience in the process, and then using them to deal with the invading alien species until they were completely wiped out.
After annihilating all the alien enemies around the planetary galaxy, the Transformers found themselves in a state of confusion: they couldn't find a way forward.
At this point, a split occurred within the Transformers who were fighting together for the same goal. A group of Transformers advocated continuing their previous approach—finding enemies and exterminating them, nipping any species that might pose a threat to Cybertron in the bud. They were known as the Decepticons.
Another group of Transformers advocates for establishing connections with other species. They do not believe that violence is the only way to solve problems, but rather that dialogue and communication are the wiser choices. They are known as the Autobots.
As time went by, the conflict between the Decepticons and Autobots not only did not ease but intensified with each clash, until the day of its complete explosion arrived.
"You are wrong, Megatron! Power cannot solve anything!"
"Fool, you can't do anything without power—not even protect those insect-like creatures!"
The leaders of the Decepticons and Autobots, supported by their respective backers, launched a war that swept across Cybertron and affected every Transformer. They fought for their respective leaders and ideals, deciding to stake the future of Cybertron and the Transformers on getting the final answer—or so it was supposed to be.

"Leader, look up!"
A warning from an Autobot Transformer alerted Optimus Prime to the anomaly above.
Unlike planets with atmospheres, Cybertron, which is made entirely of metal, does not have the concept of a "sky." When you look up, all you see is the boundless starry sky itself.
With no obstructions and Optimus Prime's powerful electronic vision capabilities, he easily discovered the ever-expanding "hole" in the outer layer of Cybertron.
"what is that?"
"I don't know, but it gives me a rather bad feeling, leader."
It wasn't just the Autobots who felt this way; even the Decepticons in the midst of battle gradually stopped and began to focus on the ever-expanding "hole" above them.
In the distance, they seemed to see a completely unfamiliar world on the other side of that void—
The violent impact of the material knocked several Transformers to the ground. Searching for the source of the tremor, Optimus Prime saw a huge square object whose surface emitted a scarlet glow that seemed to "infect" Cybertron, the planet beneath their feet and their birthplace, just like an electronic virus.
Their spirits involuntarily turned frenzied. The Autobot leader, who was known for his composure, was the first to draw his Magnetic Vibration Blade and charge towards the crimson cube. Behind him, all the Transformers, regardless of whether they were Decepticons or Autobots, abandoned their original prejudices and launched an attack on the crimson cube.
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 295 Metal Frenzy (2)
Besides the species "humans," there must be other civilizations in the vast dimensional sea. Even though Lin Yi had never been able to come into contact with them before, he still firmly believed in their existence until this day came.
[Planetary basic composition analysis completed. 98.7% of the components meet the metal element testing procedures. Preliminary assessment indicates a silicon-based civilization with a relatively high level of development. Specific social structure cannot be identified.]
Whether it's what we see before our eyes or what the divine provides, everything clearly conveys this reality.
It is not human, nor is it a life form of flesh and blood, but a mechanical civilization composed solely of metal and energy.
Lin Yi once built an "intelligent civilization" from scratch in the intelligent world, but it was only limited to "intelligence". Before its development in the mechanical aspect could even begin, it was completely restricted by "intelligent conservation" and collapsed.
The mechanical civilization before us is completely different. It is no longer just a small part of the intelligence within the main body, but rather encompasses everything from the foundation of the earth to the higher forms, and even the planet itself, which serves as the "carrier" of this civilization, into the category of "mechanical".
Naturally, the beings that could be born and survive in such a civilization could not be flesh-and-blood creatures in a carbon-based form, since even the basic conditions for the birth of life cannot be formed on such a planet. Instead, the only beings that could be born in such an environment are pure silicon-based metals.
[Reaction quantity calculation in progress... 100000... 200000... 300000...]
The warning from the Supreme God interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts. The Immortal Execution Sword in his hand was still stuck in the "gap" between the two worlds, widening the "gap" at a difficult and slow pace. However, the silicon-based civilization individuals below would obviously not allow him to complete this "project" so easily.
"Deploy A-03, A-04, B-03, and B-04 in their entirety, coordinates: current world."
[Command confirmed, foldable space deployment in progress]
Shaking the fundamental rules that make up this world, strange spatial ripples "spread" thousands to tens of thousands of meters above Cybertron, and the "scarlet cube" from another world seeps into it little by little like colloid passing through a filter.
Upon noticing these anomalies, the silicon-based units reacted immediately. In addition to sending a portion to encircle and suppress the invading Crimson Cube, most of them continued to rush towards Lin Yi, who was nestled within the "World Barrier."
His brows furrowed, and the eerie red-green light that had just appeared in his left eye seemed to have been struck by something before quickly dissipating.
The stinging sensation emanating from the "root" made Lin Yi subconsciously frown.
Unlike the spiritual world where he had spent several years and the Skynet world where he was directly taken to a "home field," this world was far too unfamiliar to Lin Yi. It couldn't be of much use until the fundamental principles of its rules were fully analyzed, and the time required to analyze the rules...
Lin Yi glanced at the long list of numbers displayed on his retina and rationally ignored it.
