"Laite, I think there is another way to supplement the words on the note." "The Girl of Mechanical Elements" said, walking slowly to the mechanical round table, and placed one hand casually on the box containing her mechanical core. on the other hand, with the palm facing the ground.
"Oh? Tell me." Laite asked curiously.
My original body must have been panicked and desperate before she "committed suicide". The scattered memory fragments in her brain showed that the text on the note was definitely written by her own "hands". In this case, it must be the "other person" of "The Girl of Tool Yuan". "A supplement" should be very similar to your own core thinking.
However, what surprised Lin Laite was that the "Daughter of Mechanical Yuan" made a completely different guess.
"We will all fall into darkness, and no one will be saved. Except those who are affected by the power of the red devil. I think this is what you...your predecessor wanted to express."
"Why do you understand it this way?" Laite asked very puzzled.
"In this dark, chaotic, depressed, painful, confused, and decadent wasteland world, isn't death the best relief? Rather than becoming a monster that has no consciousness and only knows how to devour, the strange power brought by the red magic source The change just gave your predecessor a reason to commit suicide. So, he was finally freed."
"Don't forget, I am aware of all the activities you carry out to explore my divine domain. Even if I don't know the specific situation at the time, I can "watch" it clearly afterwards. This is one of my unique abilities as a god, "Shishuo". I spent half of my magic power and saw the ceremony called "Machine's Praise". At the moment when the god's apostle tried to come, the other members of the team you led were dried in pain and flames and became A piece of product that looks like charcoal. "
"Of course, I saw you too." "The Girl of Tool Yuan" pointed at Laite and said.
"I...that's right. Of course I was there. That ceremony may have been the beginning of all this." Laite sighed and said.
"You are struggling in pain, and the screams are endless. In the face of the burning fire, you have no soldier's perseverance and determination. You are like a clown, trying your best to attract the attention of your immediate superiors through clumsy performances. Crying The sound and screams lasted for a full three hours. When they saw that the flames had faded and you were still intact, they stopped this inhumane "performance". "
"So, you want to use this to prove that...my original body actually committed suicide because he didn't want to suffer any more, right?" Laite asked.
"That's it." "The Girl of Tool Yuan" nodded.
"You know what? Laite. Not only humans are suffering, but we gods are suffering too."
"I can't understand it. After all, you can just hide in God's Realm and control everything. The Lost and the "Heartless" can't do anything to you, and you don't have to endure hunger and pain. If I were forced to say pain, I can only understand it as "loneliness". "Lite retorted.
"Haha." "The Daughter of Mechanical Element" said with a bitter smile:
"If you are familiar with the two classics "The Preface of the Gods" and "The Ancient World of All Things", you should be able to find out that during the first and second eras, the gods often entered the mortal world to meet with their loyal believers. But Since the beginning of the industrial civilization led by the Steam Age, gods have increasingly shut themselves away in the divine realm and rarely meet humans again."
"There is an iron law in steam civilization: energy will neither be created out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air. It will only be converted from one form to another, and their totality will always remain the same. What the gods have The same is true for the magic power. It will not gather out of thin air, nor will it decrease inexplicably. The magic power comes from nature. When humans destroy it as a conqueror, the foundation of power will be shaken, and we will lose the source of power. Becoming weaker and weaker. Therefore, most gods cannot leave the divine domain at all, including the "seven first-order gods". "
"After all, there are still some seeds in our divine domain that provide magic power, which can maintain our so-called noble form. If these seeds are taken away, the gods we are familiar with will quietly perish in Ragnarok."
"Doesn't it sound very sad? God... Miss. This is incompatible with the image of authority that I have in mind, which is aloof and invisible to peeps. No.
Come on, you haven't answered my confusion yet. ” Laite brought the topic back to himself.
"The "Red Magic Power" has quietly escaped from Dipser's body since he fell into a deep sleep. The information I can gather is that at least in the middle of the second era, one of Crusted's subordinates from the "Chaos Group" [Chaos Inducer] obtained it. With the tentacles and his exclusive "invisibility" ability, he used it three times. Emperor Crusted was killed by him. In the end, the new emperor Yin Fan temporarily lured him into the deep palace and used the power of the holy object to kill him and inherit his "red magic source power". "
"That [Cause of Chaos] is really a... bold person. He is innocent of all crimes, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Of course, you should hide good things and use them slowly. You shouldn't be so ostentatious, making it known to everyone. "Obviously, he is a warrior, a stupid man," Laite commented.
"Of course." "The Daughter of Tool Yuan" nodded her head in approval, "I have no information about the subsequent power inheritance. Until the third era, Yan Ling, a member of the royal family of the Flame Empire, seemed to have briefly obtained this power. , relying on it to achieve an absolute victory when Avant came to invade the north. Yan Ling, he seemed to be a lucky man, he never knew that he was involved in the "red magic source power", he only used the power of It is a part of flame, so it is natural to treat it as a pure flame power. "
"A few years later, he died in the war for power within the empire. After that, until the "mysterious and extraordinary power", which is what you humans call the "virus", ravaged the continent, the "red magic source power" became silent. . Today, I saw it again in you. "
"So, my power has touched more than three people, right?" Laite speculated.
"Of course." "The Girl of Tool Yuan" replied in a positive tone:
"Furthermore, after changing hands so many times, this power is becoming more and more powerful. Even if you don't have any commendable power, you can become more powerful simply by accumulating "red magic source power" over and over again. Extremely powerful. Your "Touch of Darkness" is just one of the powers. As your combat experience continues to increase and your order continues to rise, you will discover more of its more mysterious, extraordinary, profound and greater powers! "
"What the "red magic source power" gives you is not fighting at all, or some extraordinary and profound mission, but the simplest "existence" and "passing on", to use philosophical words. , is "inheritance". "
Hearing this, Laite couldn't help but look up at this vast false universe, staring at the "planet" shining like the sun.
In an instant, he seemed to see the dark hands of countless former holders of the "red magic source power" stretching out from the incandescent light, grabbing his throat, grabbing his limbs, and "touching" his heart.
Then, these palms turned into a fiery red color, groping at his body and attacking wildly. The apostle penetrated into his body and became completely integrated with him.
"Come on."
The call of "Daughter of Mechanical Element" freed Te from his brief confusion. He took a few deep breaths and said sheepishly:
"I was a little distracted, haha. However, just now, I felt like the "inheritors" of the "red magic source power" were beside me, trying to inject their unique power into my body. "
"Oh? Interesting." "The Girl of Mechanical Element" sneered.
Then, he picked up the box with both hands, held it in his arms, and asked:
"Any question?"
"Of course, it's still about myself." After a pause, Laite pursed his lips and asked:
"What kind of existence is the [Order]? That time Miss Natasha of Sokra started divination for me. More and more people began to know about it and had a kind of admiration for my profession... and they still have expectations. I I want to know how the gods view it."
"[The Orderer] is a leader, but it will have a long period of growth. The goddess of luck will always protect you, so you will be extremely painful and confused during this period, but you will not die in the end. The Creator once descended in a nightmare It is predicted that when the world moves towards disorder, [Order] will appear and try to regain control of order.
, restore prosperity to the world. "The daughter of Tool Yuan" said, and actually stuffed the box into the shining bright light that appeared out of thin air in front of Laite's face.
The mechanical round table slowly descended and escaped into the stars. The door Luo Nie passed through also disappeared, returning to the original magic circle-like area.
Then, the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" said in a particularly low voice:
"Laite, you opened my eyes today. I didn't expect that you would have such power and mission. But even so, I cannot hand over my energy source without the order of the Lord of Machinery. This A mechanical core. It is my heart. I must defend my dignity as a god. Even now, no matter how weak my power is, I will fight with you until the last moment."
"Laite, if you are enlightened, you can return along the original path. The teleportation array at the end of the road will "leap" you to the outskirts of Silent Highlands. At that time, you can go anywhere you want, including my hometown, the Crusted Empire. "
"I'm sorry, Miss Shenming." Laite bowed slightly and said apologetically:
"I must get it. I need to be promoted to Order 5, and I need to destroy it to completely prevent Socra City's conspiracy to build a "paradise". I don't want anyone to do anything inhumane to him. "
"Then be prepared for your awakening!" "The Girl of Tool Yuan" roared angrily.
Immediately afterwards, her arms quickly turned into two huge hand cannons over one meter long. The mechanical wings on her back spread out. In the blue light emitted by the "ejector", she quickly flew to the scene, dragging a trail of white smoke. Come on top of your head.
Seeing this, Laite's black eyes moved slightly, and while he quickly controlled the "Touch of Darkness" behind him, he surged the red magic power in his body in preparation for the battle.
"Accept the baptism of fire!" The distant and ethereal voice of "Daughter of Tool Yuan" came from above Laite's head. Then, two thick, hot flames shot out from the hand cannon and rushed towards Laite.
Manipulating the tentacles and relying on the rebound force when hitting the ground, Laite also flew into the air and avoided the attack.
However, one of his tentacles was burned by the flames for too long due to the emergency situation and because he was not skillful in operating it after evolving. It was damaged and had to be retracted into the body.
Then, the "Daughter of Tools", who took the lead in the battle, fired laser cannonballs from the hand cannon one after another towards Laite.
The flashing shells were as dense as raindrops, more like stars all over the universe, leaving Laite at a loss as to how to avoid them.
In desperation, he had no choice but to summon the "Red Kite Eagle Shield" to barely resist.
But in the divine realm, the energy of "Daughter of Tool Yuan" seems to be inexhaustible. Until Laite's crimson-red shield shattered and countless cannonballs hit his body, leaving him covered in bruises, the cannonballs still didn't stop.
Just when Laite had a premonition that he was going to die here, in the divine realm, a music box fell out of his pocket.
What a coincidence, it was activated at this moment and produced beautiful music.
For a time, the music that was played caused the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" to resonate with the pain in the depths of her soul. It seemed to be a tune that called to the dead, trying to lead them to a happy harbor.
If you listen carefully, you will find that the tune of the music has a heavy Krusted style. While listening, the "Daughter of Mechanical Element" seemed to hear a melodious melody calling the lost people to return home.
"Music box?" Laite secretly rejoiced:
"This seems to be a small item I bought in the "residential area" of the underground castle of the Church of the Dark Night. At that time, I saw that the old man was pitiful, so I gave him some money. Unexpectedly, he helped me here. "
Seeing that the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" was stagnant in the air and no longer launched an attack, Laite actually had no better way to launch an attack.
He knew that the god who was temporarily obsessed by music would wake up as soon as he was attacked. He only had one chance and he had to kill him with one blow!
While he was anxious, he heard the long-lost and familiar voice of "Red-faced Hain":
"Pierce her chest with the "Heart-Seering Prism", Laite, this is your only chance. "
"You finally came out, I almost forgot about you." Laite teased
road.
"Don't worry about it. I heard all your conversation just now. You know, I am also a former user of "Red Magic Source Power", you should believe me! "Red-faced Hain"'s tone was particularly urgent. He knew that the Krusted music played by the music box would end in ten seconds, and by then, all opportunities would be in vain.
"Okay!" Laite shouted.
Then, he used his tentacles to kick off the ground and flew directly to the "Daughter of the Mechanical Element". In the blink of an eye, he quickly took out the palm-sized, glassy "Heart-Scorching Prism" from his pants pocket and inserted it directly into her. chest.
Zila Zila——
Katcha!
Katcha!
Katcha!
The loud sound of electric current mixed with the sound of mechanical collapse came from the mechanical body of "Daughter of Mechanical Element".
After being attacked, she did not utter a word and could never utter a word again.
After just a few seconds, the "Heart-Searing Prism" popped out of her body and was caught firmly by Laite.
And her body fell apart in an instant and fell to the ground.
"Find her core, that 'pocket watch'. "Red-faced Haien" urged.
Simply, the divine realm did not disintegrate with the passing of the gods, and the pile of mechanical fragments was not too much. After a while, Laite found the pocket watch, the mechanical core of the "Daughter of the Mechanical Element", her heart.
By some strange coincidence, Laite put the pocket watch into his arms and held it close to his heart.
Suddenly, a dazzling light was released from the pocket watch, and a familiar murmur appeared in his ears.
"Up and down, left and right, time, space."
"Up and down, left and right, time, space."
He felt that countless rays of light were pouring on his body, his thinking became clearer, and his magic power became stronger. The fatigue lingering in his mind and body dissipated, and he felt extremely energetic.
After a flash of confusing light, he was brought back to reality.
"I feel the increase in power, "Red-faced Hain", which is the same feeling I felt when I was promoted in "Water of a Different Face". " Laite said excitedly.
"Look at your arms first." "Red-faced Hain" reminded.
Raising his hands to look, Laite was surprised to find that at some point, his arms were equipped with a pair of silver-white mechanical wristbands. If he looked carefully, he saw that there were even a pair of cyan-colored mechanical wristbands embedded in each of the standard mechanical structures. A shining mechanical gem.
Just as he was surprised by the appearance of the wristband and curious about the power it would possess, the equally excited voice of "Red-faced Hain" came to Laite's ears again:
"Congratulations, Laite. You have successfully obtained the "Pain" Sequence Core and been successfully promoted to Sequence Level 5: Pain Level. "
