Just at this critical moment, the original entity had inexplicably disappeared, and distractions had begun to obscure their vision in the Metropolis, all seemingly pointing to one thing.
"Someone is sabotaging us behind the scenes!" All of Sun Jack were the first to come to a realization.
Almost instinctively, every Sun Jack switched their perspective to the Solomon District, their eyes fixated on the collapsed Holy Grail.
At that moment, the Holy Grail had completely turned over, revealing all sorts of machinery on its other side, squatting there like a military fortress.
Surrounding the Holy Grail were dense corporate troops, all assets of the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail War, initiated by the original entity, had not ended, but was in full swing, a battle of such scale, especially concerning the fight for ownership of the entire Metropolis, was not going to end quickly.
Although the Holy Grail had collapsed, not everyone had perished; a group was still resisting stubbornly with their financial resources.
If one were to speculate about the current situation, who else could be behind this, and who had a reason to do so.
Undoubtedly, those overthrown by themselves, the Holy Grail, had the highest likelihood.
"It was the Holy Grail People, they took the original entity! What do they want to use the original entity for?!"
"I don't know, but whether it was them or not, alive we want to see the person, dead we want to see the body!"
At the frontline of the battle, Sun Jack wiped the rain off his face forcefully, staring fixedly ahead. "Leave it to me! It's close! They are about to give in! Just give me more time! Since the original entity is inside the Holy Grail, I'll definitely rescue him!!"
"What if they use the original entity to threaten you?" As soon as Digital Personality raised this question, all of Sun Jack's channels went silent.
But soon, all of Sun Jack unanimously said: "Ignore the threats, kill the original entity!"
Upon saying this, all of Sun Jack laughed, because they knew, even if the original entity himself were to make the choice, he would definitely choose the same.
If that was their goal, then they had completely miscalculated.
Destroying the Holy Grail completely was far more important than the life of the original entity. Having come this far, having sacrificed so much, how could they possibly stop because of their own lives?
Even hesitating for a moment would be disrespectful to the original entity.
Then Sun Jack looked at those around him, men and women armed with various weapons. Previously, they were the prostitutes, homeless, corporate slaves, and gang members of the Metropolis.
But from the moment they followed Sun Jack in rebelling against the Holy Grail, at this moment, they only had one identity, the identity of those who, like him, were toppling the Holy Grail.
Not only were they involved, but so were employees from the four companies under Sun Jack's name.
As a Wild Man from the wilderness, Old Three was also among them. He took an injection pump delivered by a drone and, without hesitation, injected it into his shoulder.
As a solution meant for DNA modification flowed through the syringe into his body, his radiation-ravaged flesh quickly regenerated, and his dim-witted brain started to function normally.
He turned his head, shouting through the downpour to Sun Jack, "Boss? Do we charge? The DNA warrior unit here is already repaired."
"Wait, wait for AA to return!" Sun Jack switched to an internal channel to avoid being spotted by the Holy Grail.
He knew that rushing now was useless; the opposition had run out of options. Seeing the Holy Grail collapse, many companies had already begun to seek allegiance with them, opportunists existed everywhere.
Given the current situation, it wouldn't be long before they could no longer hold out.
But time was not on their side, nor was it on their own.
"How's it going on your end? Can humanity still hold up?" Sun Jack asked the Digital Personality.
"Twenty-one days left, after twenty-one days, I will lose control."
Hearing this, Sun Jack stared at the distant Holy Grail, his expression slightly darkened. The Digital Personality absolutely must not lose control. Without it defending against the Holy Grail's hacker brigade on the network level, the outcome of the war would be uncertain.
The Holy Grail must be breached within these twenty-one days!
As the damaged AA spacecraft carrier turned over again, the low-density war intensified once more, nuclear bombs lit up the entire sky again, and the ground between the two sides had been plowed countless times.
Although the advantage was on Sun Jack's side, the Holy Grail was not to be underestimated. As the battle continued, the situation became tense once again.
With a slight thought in his mind, the repaired Sky-base Weapon instantly shot out a powerful laser, striking directly at the military fortress of the Holy Grail.
But what he had not expected was that the once invincible weapon did not penetrate; they definitely had technology from The Previous Era in their hands.
After one shot, the Sky-base Weapon had to immediately move positions, otherwise, the Holy Grail's nuclear bombs would be coming over.
In terms of tactical strategy, everyone had AI assistance, and weapon technology was similar on both sides.
The situation became tense once again, just like a few days ago.
Time passed bit by bit, the blown-up soil gradually replaced by blood and metal, one day, two days, three days.
Having not slept for several days, Sun Jack stared with bloodshot eyes, watching everything from a distance behind the curtain of rain.
"I'm watching; you go back and sleep for a while," Abu said as he came over from the side in the underground command center.
But Sun Jack did not move, even though they were already surrounded, the Holy Grail People just would not give up resisting.
Thinking again that the original was still in their hands, Sun Jack's heart grew even more agitated.
He really feared any changes in the current situation; so many had died to finally get to this point, they absolutely could not afford to mess up now.
But in the current situation, figuring out how to deal with the Holy Grail in front of him was not an easy task.
Compared to the previously easily destroyed Silver City, the Holy Grail was as hard as a rock and too tough to chew, conventional methods simply could not bring it down.
Just as he was racking his brains and could think of no solution, he suddenly thought of something and pulled out a syringe from the box beside him, inserting it directly into his neck.
This was a product of Gaofeng Technology, replicating the previous DNA programming technology.
As his IQ grew higher, his thought process also became clearer.
"Wait a second, it seems like I have an idea," Sun Jack's eyes suddenly lit up as he contacted AA and said, "AA! Did logistics just seize a tunnel boring machine?"
"Yes, Boss! It was snatched from the smuggling Graffiti Gang, my people are checking it now," replied Abu.
"Good! Bring it over! I need it for decapitation!"
Soon, the tunnel boring machine, previously boarded by No. 43 and Hopelily, rotated continuously as it burrowed into the earth. With the increasingly intense artillery fire above, it slowly approached the Holy Grail from beneath the tough ground.
