Bending down to pick up the hammer, he got used to the feeling of holding the strange thing, perhaps because the transformation of the strange thing was not completely successful, he felt that although the [Thunder God's Wrath] was powerful, it was even more difficult for the pollution of the spirit and its own filthiness. Not as good as any monster he had ever seen.
Gripping the hammer tightly, he looked up to the other side of the smoky street. A man wearing a black coat and holding a black oil-paper umbrella was walking slowly.
People in the neighborhood had probably fled, and this ordinary summer morning was unusually quiet for the street. Every time the stranger in black stepped on the ground, there would be a heavy sound. The metal scattered around due to the explosion trembled as the man walked, as if feeling the attraction of a huge magnetic force.
"The sixth-level gifter."
He said in his heart that although the opponent's appearance looks very good, the real level is not even as good as Jenkins himself. But Jenkins was not careless because of this. He hesitated and raised the hammer in his hand. As his own spirit resonated with it, a black thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the sky.
[Power of Titan] and the ability light spots represented by [Calling the Wind and Rain] light up at the same time, it is not fully activated, but it further strengthens the power of [Thunder God's Wrath]. In the rolling black thunder and lightning in the depths of the sky, an imperceptible golden flash passed, and then a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the hammer that was held high.
The mighty force of nature was concentrated in the golden arc of the hammer, and Jenkins felt as if he was lifting a heavy lead put. In the flash of lightning, he pointed the hammer forward with great effort, and then the thunder and lightning exploded in a 180-degree direction forward like a shock wave, and even the thick fog was briefly dispelled.
When the lightning flashed, Jenkins felt the ground under his feet tremble suddenly, but before he had time to think about it, he saw a silver metal shield rising out of thin air in front of the man in black.
I don't know what kind of metal it is, but it is completely non-conductive. In the "ocean" where the arc flows, the lightning shock wave is forcibly divided into two. But the strength of the material itself couldn't support the resistance to the huge energy, and before the lightning that almost flooded the entire area disappeared, the shield turned into dust and disappeared.
"Probably something like [Blessing of Books] or something."
Thinking to himself, Jenkins saw the man in black jump up suddenly, as if about to fly, and almost jumped to the second floor of an ordinary building. He probably didn't have many metal parts on his body, so the lightning shock wave that almost swept across the ground didn't affect him too much.
But Jenkins would not give him a chance to land. When he saw the opponent take off, he raised the hammer again and threw the black thunderbolt that fell from the sky. The black lightning directly hit the enemy who could not dodge in the air, and he screamed and fell backwards, losing consciousness when he landed.
"Dead? It can't be that simple, can it?"
Jenkins thought in surprise, and glanced at the hammer in his hand:
"Also, which Thunder God is the so-called [Wrath of Thunder God]? Is it an unknown false god?"
While thinking about it, he looked around. The sixth-level gifter who was knocked out was not dead, and the evidence was that his aura had not been extinguished. Jenkins reached out and touched the orange cat Maple Leaf on his shoulder, so that it would not stretch out its small paws to test near the electric light next to the hammer.
He walked over quickly to end the enemy's life, and then came over as Jenkins after leaving, so that the matter was successfully concluded.
Unexpectedly, he just took two steps forward when he saw a vague figure standing up behind the gray fog.
His standing posture is very strange, like a puppet manipulated by silk threads. Jenkins stopped subconsciously, wanting to see what the opponent was going to do, and at the same time slightly raised the hammer in his hand, ready to attack again at any time.
But the figure behind the gray mist did not rush towards Jenkins, instead, he landed on all fours and sprinted towards the ruins of the clinic like an animal. Jenkins immediately followed, and found that the figure did not run very far, but went straight into the ruins, lying on the bright black mechanical piano half pressed by the wooden beams.
Jenkins also didn't know why there was a piano in the clinic.
"What?"
Although he hadn't seen it himself, Jenkins had heard it described by Mr. Hood. He was startled suddenly, and the laughing shadow behind him went straight to the piano, but after the smoke and dust from the explosion disappeared, what appeared in front of him was not a machine that was torn apart, but a roughly human body, with metal parts piercing its body everywhere. out of the monster.
This is much lower than Luthor's integration with the steam engine. Luther almost perfectly incorporated the components of the steam engine into his body, while this one just divided the piano as a whole and "stuffed" it into his torso. , but more like the fusion of flesh and loom that Jenkins saw for the first time. But it was still terrifying. While the weird black spiritual light was on, the ability light spot representing the bestower did not go out.
He transformed from human form into an alternative life form, but Jenkins did not see him swallowing [gear germ]. This is different from the previous conclusion that "the fusion of corpses and machinery is caused by gear germs". Jenkins began to wonder what the hell the cultists of the Gear Craftsmanship were doing.
But thinking of the fusion of the textile machine and the human body that he saw for the first time, and the fusion of the steam engine and the human body for the second time, they all showed different forms, and Jenkins could not come to an effective conclusion for the time being.
Holding the hammer, he watched the monster like a marionette prostrate on the ground. As the piano keys gradually sounded from the low-pitched range to the high-pitched range, the surrounding thick fog actually began to revolve around it.
The sound in the wind gradually became weird, and the continuous notes became a strange melody. A subtle violent emotion appeared in his heart, and at the same time, the exposed metal part of the monster's body also became hot, as if being heated by a huge heat source inside the body.
No matter what kind of power this thing has, Jenkins does not intend to wait for the other party's "performance" to end. He switched the hammer to his left hand, and drew out his sword with his right hand. With the resonance of the spirit and the sword, the green and gray representing life and death wrapped around the sword body at the same time.
"Aura of death!"
The huge halo spread from the feet to the surroundings, and the decaying light made the weeds that flourished in summer turn yellow and wither visible to the naked eye.
"The source of life!"
Dots of green light overflow from the body, the emerald green brilliance is the essence of life, and the strong vitality makes the remaining plant roots in the soil under the feet tremble.
Gray and green were entangled on the sword at the same time, and as Jenkins stabbed forward, the light of the sword flooded everything in front of him. The two different strange situations gave Jenkins a fuller understanding of death and life. The changes brought about by this were not more abilities, but better control of the balance between the two.
The erupting sword light completely wiped out the entire street, and the aftermath even left marks on the low hills and cliffs not far away. The monster in the frontal attack was cut off by Jenkins, and the weird piano sound stopped, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
"finished?"
Panting slightly, Jenkins did not relax. Instead, he watched the body that had been divided into two wriggle on the ground. He wanted to step forward to give the corpse a final blow, but the inspiration sent a warning of extreme danger.
The body instinctively jumped to the left, and the moment Jenkins just avoided it, accompanied by the indescribably loud mechanical noise deep in the ground, an iron-gray pillar pierced the ground from where he was originally standing.
After landing, Jenkins did not stop, and the ground began to vibrate again. It is not known how many earthquakes have occurred today. The violent shaking of the ground made it almost impossible for people to stand still. At the same time, the iron-gray pillars rising from the ground followed Jenkins' footsteps, trying to pierce him again and again.
The continuous mechanical noise came from the depths of the ground, as if connecting into a track from the abyss. An extremely bad feeling made Jenkins subconsciously look at his feet.
His realization could not penetrate the thick soil and rock formations, but the inexplicable inspiration made him seem to see a huge thing densely covered with interlocking gears, slightly revealing a corner in the dark and facing the sky in the abyss.
That thing is weird and orderly, with a strong mechanical sense that binds the gears that can be observed on the surface to rotate together. And once you want to entangle where the force is maintaining its movement, you will unknowingly fall into the exploration of this perfect machine.
Even his heart was trembling, but fortunately, his self-control made Jenkins wake up from the hallucination. Seeing the iron-gray pillars protruding from the ground, he could hardly find the ground to stand on, so he could only summon the unicorn waiting in the air, ride on the back of the little beast and fly high into the sky, looking at the nearby ground like a lake Same "waves".
While the metal pillar was rising, metal chains made of gears also protruded from the depths of the earth. Countless chains swayed among the metal pillars, and the regular movements formed by each other made Jenkins a little dizzy.
The roar from the depths of the ground became louder and louder, and at the same time, dark clouds floated from nowhere in the sky above and covered the sun. Thick fog surged up, sealing off the space like a mystical lock, and the divided corpse in the center of the metal pillar group was pierced by two gear chains respectively.
The chain "holds" the two corpses and slowly puts them together. The new and thinner gear chain controls the finer gears to suture the broken corpse section, as if performing a surgical operation.
At the same time, the tops of the metal pillars faintly forming a certain pattern glowed like rust. These lights connected the chains together, and finally converged to the heart of the central corpse.
