"not enough."
He whispered, without condensing the deep feeling at this moment into a brand new ability.
Put the pocket watch on the window sill, and watch the dense black dots flying into the sky from the direction of the metal black tower.
He brought the cat to the yard, maintained a strangely peaceful state of mind, and flew into the night sky on the unicorn. In the night sky in the city center, he saw mechanical birds with countless skeletons and brass-colored machinery that flew from the depths of the ground to the sky following the earthquake, the rising of the tower, and the continuous ringing of the bell.
The fierce appearance and disgusting ingredients represent their relationship with disaster. Hot steam spewed out from the gap between the tower and the civic square, and as the steam spewed out, locust-like machines continuously flew into the night sky of the city from the gap in the collapsed ground.
Like a black umbrella that covers the sky and the earth, thousands of metal birds have come under the night sky in a blink of an eye.
Jenkins saw the people on the ground trying to fill the gap, and also saw the demigods of the Orthodox Church constantly ascending into the sky.
He flew towards the moonlight, without taking out the cane or the Holy Bone Sword. With a flick of the right hand, he grabbed the mechanical bird that was trying to attack nearby. The burning flame selectively burned away the bones, leaving only the metal components.
Holding those metals in the palm of his hand like kneading dough, the metallic luster emerging from his body became more obvious amidst the mourning bells.
[Read and write] + [Mechanical Light], a blue light flashed in the palm of your hand. As Jenkins opened his palm, a brass-colored delicate purely mechanical bird flew out of his palm.
The cat and Jenkins watched the bird fly into the sky, and Jenkins pointed up:
[Call the wind and call the rain]!
The electric light fell from the depths of the starry sky and hit the mechanical bird directly. At the same time, the metallic luster overflowing from Jenkins has also reached the extreme.
The bell roared below him, and the bird struck by lightning spread its wings and flew in the arc.
A huge, unspeakable, even incomprehensible behemoth flashed behind Jenkins. Immediately, the iron-black rusty light, centered on him, spread towards the sky as the bird flew.
The people on the ground noticed the figure riding the unicorn when the lightning flashed across the night sky. Before the church could react, the bird and the strange iron-black rusty light swept across the sky.
The skeletal gearbirds affected by the light all stood still in the air, and fell to the ground after an interval of one to two seconds. It was like metal rain falling under the night sky.
Jenkins took a deep breath, the ground surged, the bells rang, and everything came together. He raised his hand to catch his returning bird, and watched it deform in his hand, and finally turned into a book with an iron gray cover , the arc kept surging on the surface of the book.
He holds the book in his right hand and covers the pages with his left hand. After slowly removing his left hand, all the throbbing was calmed down. He felt the profound and calm power emerging from his body, which is a brand new power that is different from all previous powers:
[Mechanic (white base)]
To be honest, Jenkins didn't expect his mechanical throbbing to evolve into such an ability. Both Miss Magic and Alexia mentioned that all abilities that can appear as "symbols" during use are all mysterious and extraordinary abilities with extraordinary potential.
After the lamp of Mechanical Light, the second symbol of ability that Jenkins obtained was still related to machinery. Although he had never heard of the ability of [Mechanic], he understood the function of the ability immediately.
When using the ability, call out the book in your hand and unfold the book, and control and manipulate the surrounding objects that can be called mechanical creations under the limit that you can bear. The degree of control is determined by factors such as distance, quantity, mystery, complexity, and so on.
So in the moment of gaining the ability just now, the bones and metal birds in the sky were wiped out, it was because of this effect.
In addition, Jenkins can perceive the machinery around him, and can perform simple repairs and modifications to the machinery with his bare hands without relying on any tools.
In the case of being struck by lightning, the mechanical creation completely created by him has the effect of breaking through the limit of its own design in a short time. This probably comes from Jenkins' memory of the technology system of another world.
But at the same time, it also made him understand that this world, at least the basic materialistic and idealistic rules of this era, does not support the development of the electric energy technology tree. Otherwise, the ability that was born just now due to luck should rely on electric energy to create machinery, rather than just using lightning to stimulate a one-time breakthrough of the limit.
Thinking of this, he unfolded the book in his hand again. While the iron-gray light spread to the surroundings, he called out the Holy Bone Sword and slashed at the gap in the ground.
The sword mark went straight into the gap, but unfortunately it didn't cause any consequences. But there is no need to worry here. Since the appearance of this black tower, the church has been guarding the surrounding day and night, just to prevent such things from happening.
At this moment, a huge mystical chain has been formed, and Jenkins ascended to the sky on the back of the unicorn, watching the church urgently deal with the gap that seemed to connect the underground abyss.
After he solved the "flying birds" in the air, the number of birds emerging from the ground became less and less. Jenkins didn't feel relieved to leave until it was confirmed that the church had completely controlled the situation.
He went back into the house through the study window, pretending he hadn't left at all. Picking up the pocket watch on the windowsill, listening to the regular "click click ~" sound that comes to mind as the pointer rotates.
"But why?"
He said in a low voice:
"How can I fit in so well with the mechanical power?"
[Mechanic] is his ability to comprehend on his own, so he can feel more powerful. Although it is now the end of the era, as a savior, he is lucky to obtain the power that can compete with the machine, which is also an arrangement of fate. But this ability, no matter how you think about it, seems to have appeared because of his fit with mechanical power.
His soul came from another world, knowing another huge and completely different knowledge system, so he has an affinity for machinery, which can be explained. But he couldn't understand that, as a candidate for the savior of the eighteenth era against mechanical and steam disasters, he actually had almost the same power as the enemy.
This world is quite idealistic, and any coincidence is worthy of attention and consideration.
"Could it be that the difference engine assimilated me in the end, or did I go crazy and assimilate the difference engine?"
