In the chaotic zone, a howling wind mingled with smoke and dust. Broken mecha fragments lay scattered like discarded scrap. Light and shadow flickered, as if the entire space were whispering of danger. This was the most chaotic and disordered zone in the spiritual realm battlefield. Rules had collapsed, order had vanished, and there was only naked plunder and slaughter.

"Hey, Zero, you've been digging for so long, but what have you gained?" Shadow Killer's voice came over the communication channel, his tone lazily revealing a sense of leisure. "You can't let us go empty-handed, right?"

"Shut up! How dare you be distracted in a place like this?" The Xuanwu guard shouted in a deep voice. The huge shield of the mecha moved slowly, like a vigilant mobile fortress, always ready to meet sudden sneak attacks.

"There are indeed psychic fluctuations here, which could very well be high-end parts." Zero's voice was calm, but his hands never stopped working. He carefully scanned the psychic flow of the wreckage. "But don't get too excited too soon, the things may not be free."

The five protagonists quickly gathered, their gaze fixed on a field of scattered mecha parts. Those parts emitted a faint aura, clearly not ordinary goods, and even faintly revealed the characteristics of top-grade materials.

"We've made a fortune!" You Yu Jian Jia was the first to rush out, his voice filled with excitement. "If we sell these parts, we won't have to work hard for a year!"

As he finished speaking, a shadow slowly emerged from the distant smoke and dust. It was a mecha shrouded in black mist, its slender silhouette strange and twisted, like a terrifying being squeezed out of the void.

"These things are mine." A hoarse voice came from the public channel, as if every word carried a biting chill.

The Shadow Killer was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Yours? Are you kidding? There's no first-come, first-served rule here. Whoever grabs it first gets it."

The Black Mist mech didn't respond, but instead silently released a strange psychic energy wave. Almost simultaneously, the Shadow Killer's mech screen suddenly flashed red, and a piercing alarm instantly heightened the tension.

"Warning! System intrusion detected! Functional module malfunctioning!" Shadow Killer exclaimed, "My mech is paralyzed! What the hell is that?"

Before he finished speaking, the Black Tortoise Guard's mech began to shake, its shields unable to activate, and even basic movements became stiff. "My psychic output is disrupted! What the hell is going on?" The Black Tortoise Guard's tone was perceptible with panic.

Ling Ruoxi's Sky Sword Armor was in even worse shape. The blade couldn't even be unsheathed, and the mecha was like a piece of rigid scrap metal. "This kind of psychic energy fluctuation... doesn't feel like a normal invasion at all! It's like they've directly taken control of our core systems!"

You Yu Sword Armor was also affected, and his high-speed movements turned into intermittent stuttering. "I haven't even used my full strength yet, how come I got knocked down first? This doesn't make sense!"

Only Zero's mecha remained stable. Xiang Fan quickly activated the psychic detection system, a torrent of data dancing on the screen, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

"This isn't a psychic invasion..." Xiang Fan muttered, "It's more like a psychic construct erosion program... It's completely different from the virtual logic we commonly see."

"Erosion program? Can it be so strange?" Shadow Killer struggled to move the mecha, and then heard the system's error message: "Brother, can we not try to be too complicated? Find a way to save our lives!"

The Black Mist mecha's deep laughter came through the communication, carrying a twisted sense of satisfaction. "You shouldn't have come here. Since you don't know what's good for you, then all of you should stay."

"Leave you a ghost!" You Yu Jianjia cursed, but the mecha's sprint was disrupted by the system and it directly hit a piece of scrap metal, making a deafening metal collision sound.

Xiang Fan held his breath, carefully analyzing the psychic fluctuations released by the Black Mist mecha. The chains of runes dancing on the screen glowed with irregular patterns, and Xiang Fan's gaze grew increasingly serious. "These runes... are a deliberate trap. As expected, this guy is no ordinary player. He's using the psychic network to perform a trick we've never seen before."

Zero didn't hesitate, swiftly activating the anti-tracing system. His mech's psychic energy flowed at an accelerated pace, gathering data on anomalies in his teammates' mech systems. In Shadow Killer and his companions' disabled systems, he captured the traces of the rune chains' activity.

In the chaotic area, smoke and dust filled the air. Zero's mech stood quietly amidst the ruins, a dense stream of runes dancing on the screen. His eyes were sharp, and his fingers danced swiftly on the console, gradually analyzing the mysterious "Gu" model.

"Interesting! Let me see what you are." Zero muttered to himself, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and complex rune chains gradually appeared in the psychic light curtain.

Shadow Killer's avatar popped up, his tone tinged with uneasiness: "Zero, what did that guy just do? My mech almost exploded!"

"Don't ask too many questions." Zero said calmly, without even looking up, "His methods are very dangerous. Don't move. I'll deal with him."

The deep voice of the Black Tortoise Guard rang out in the channel: "Be careful, he even easily broke through my defense just now. This kind of enemy is not a simple one."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional." Zero said with a hint of undue pride, "Just stay put and don't cause any trouble for me."

At that moment, the distant Black Mist mech seemed to sense something, suddenly turning and accelerating towards a hidden corner of the Chaos Region, clearly intending to escape. Its movements were swift and smooth, like a ghost, sweeping through the ruins.

A cold glint flashed in Zero's eyes, and the psychic network interface instantly switched to the highest level of authority. He precisely tracked the movement of the Gu Rune, his fingers rapidly typing commands, "You can't escape."
