"The cloud whale beast is not in a complete state. It just escaped from the seal. It attached to me and came to Nolan because it knew that its state was not good, and it was unwilling to take risks to face the human superhumans of this era in advance."
Bernoulli explained in a low voice, and begged Jenkins not to push so hard, his neck was about to be snapped off by Jenkins.
Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit stupid to rush to see the cloud whale beast of the difference machine. But no matter what, it is everyone's consensus that the difference machine can't really "swallow" the cloud whale.
Therefore, after the reinforcements sent by Nolan arrived, Bernoulli was taught to take care of them, and Jenkins and his party joined the battlefield.
The task this time is a bit cumbersome, not only to stop the difference machine from taking the cloud whale beast, but also to reseal the cloud whale beast as much as possible after that, and inflict as much damage to the difference machine as possible.
It was still raining, and Jenkins pointed to the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck straight at him. After the thunderbolt was thrown onto the battlefield by him, the Holy Son of the Orthodox Church finally joined the battlefield.
The cloud whale beast is not in a perfect state, and the difference machine has not revealed its real body from the beginning to the end, but only uses the chain group to attack. While the battle wasn't easy, things turned for the better after the church's large force joined in.
The troops responsible for sealing the cloud whale beast have also arrived near the town, and the demigods flying in the sky jointly suppress the cloud whale beast and the chains, trying to find a balance between the two.
Jenkins, who can't fly, can only take off in the air for a short time in the state of the Son, but even if he received the second blessing of the sage for sacrificing the second drop of divinity, the form of the Son cannot last long.
He only fought in the air for half an hour before he knew that the state of the Son of God was coming to an end.
Before exiting the Son of God form, he landed in a hurry and joined the support team on the ground. The cat stood on Jenkins' shoulder and squatted obediently, watching his side face facing the sweat beads that slid down from the rain, and gently wiped him with its tail.
"Chocolate don't mess with it."
Jenkins, who didn't see the intention of this move, brushed off Chocolate's tail, took the umbrella handed by the scribe, and looked up at the high-altitude battlefield with them.
"Prepare me a quiet room, I want to pray quietly for a while."
The power of the Holy Son comes from God. Jenkins couldn't last too long in the state of the Holy Son, not because his body couldn't bear it, but because the power of the sourceless water was quickly exhausted. That's why he wanted to communicate with the sage again, otherwise he could only recover slowly in his daily life.
In his ordinary state, he can actually play a role in the battlefield, but this time the battle took place at high altitude, and the ground troops can only use a drop in the bucket to encircle and suppress the chain tentacles that keep popping up. Although sitting on the high stool can also fly, it is not convenient to fight after all, and the state of the Son who can fly freely is what Jenkins wants most now.
He subconsciously touched the silver ring on his right wrist, which is now his trump card. But as long as the core of the difference engine is not exposed, he must not act rashly. He quite understands that this is not the time to be arrogant. The core of the Difference Engine is definitely in the underground of Nolan's eastern suburbs.
It is not possible to subdue the cloud whale that is pulled below the ground with these chains, so Jenkins deduces that the difference engine may appear the moment the cloud whale touches the soil.
This is also the reason why Jenkins has not used more power except for the Son of God form in this battle so far, he is waiting. Even if the probability is small, he must confirm whether the difference engine will actually make the core appear.
If he encountered that extremely small probability, then today would be a decisive battle between him and the difference engine.
The team escorted the "weak" Jenkins out of the battlefield, and the sullen cat with a drooping face because of being "wronged" by Jenkins suddenly turned around on Jenkins' shoulder and looked behind everyone.
"Meow?"
it cried, and alternately tapped Jenkins' ears with its two tiny paws. Jenkins stopped, and was about to see what happened to his cat, but suddenly he was also stunned, and turned to look in the direction Chocolate was looking at just now.
A bright golden beam of light that seemed to connect the sky and the earth appeared in the extremely distant rolling hills. No matter who it is, they can feel an extremely orderly, extremely harmonious, and extremely rigid power from that beam of light.
At the same time, Jenkins, who was somewhat sensitive to mechanical power because he had created the ability of [Mechanical Craftsman] through his own perception, even directly felt that it was a very special item related to machinery. That item, for any existence with mechanical power, would be of great significance.
He opened his eyes wide and looked in that direction, and immediately understood where the beam of light that reached the sky appeared:
"The mansion outside Honeywood Town? Hathaway and the others, what treasure did they find from the statue?"
Because of the appearance of that golden beam of light, the battlefield seemed to freeze for a moment. Including the densely packed metal tentacles, everyone involved in this battle stopped.
But as the beam of light weakened and gradually disappeared into the rain, the tentacles moved again, and the cloud whale continued to struggle for survival in the three-way battle.
But a second, or two seconds after that, at that moment, Jenkins clearly felt a huge monster flashing past under his feet. Before he could even scan the ground with his Real Eye, the thing had disappeared into the distance.
The direction in which the behemoth went away was exactly the direction in which the golden beam of light appeared just now. Jenkins felt a chill in his heart, and easily guessed that perhaps, the difference machine that was originally ambushing under the feet of everyone and was about to "jump up" and "swallow" the cloud whale beast at the last moment had given up its goal at this moment.
An item with an unknown number, of course it is not worth the difference machine to give up this evil beast that can manipulate clouds and mists. The cloud whale beast has a very powerful complementary effect on the difference machine that has changed its own energy. But the direction where the golden beam of light erupted just now is also the location where the difference engine sealed its stripped core.
Now that the positions of the two overlap, Jenkins can understand that the difference machine must be worried about something going wrong, and he would not believe such a coincidence.
"No, I'm going to see it too."
The three of Hathaway didn't know what was happening here, and if they didn't have time to leave, it was very likely that they would hit the difference engine directly.
Quickly urging a group of people to escort him to the temporarily arranged quiet room in the town, after the door was closed to confirm that there was no one there, Jenkins left a phantom of himself kneeling on one knee in prayer in the center of the room, and then jumped out of the window directly .
Of course, he didn't forget to close the window again. This time, he didn't keep the chocolate, because Jenkins didn't have so much time to persuade the chocolate to be obedient.
He ran wildly in the rain, followed by the unicorn running with soft cries, and the little beast flew into the sky with Jenkins and the cat.
It was almost evening at this time, but the days in summer were very long, and the setting sun only showed a little trace. Jenkins, who was extremely anxious in his heart, urged the unicorn to move forward at the fastest speed, but when he saw the town of Honeywood from a distance, changes had already taken place.
A crack appeared in the ground. The mechanical birds made of metal and bones that I saw last time flew out of the abyss under the crack and flew towards the town.
Jenkins rode on the back of the unicorn and summoned the iron-gray book, and with a light shake, a bronze-colored metal bird flew out. Pointing to the sky:
"Call the wind and call the rain!"
A bright thunderbolt hit the bronze-colored bird, and then the flying bird with thunder flapped its wings and flew towards the densely packed locust-like mechanical bird flock.
Jenkins did not stop here, but continued to fly forward to the hill where the mansion was located. In the distance, they saw chains dancing wildly. When they got closer, they saw Mr. Hood, Mr. Black Cat, and Hathaway trapped on the roof of the house by the chains constantly emerging from the ground.
Fortunately, when the workshop was being built underground in the mansion, special treatment was done on the ground to prevent it from being attacked by the body difference machine from deeper underground. Otherwise, once the chains came out directly from under their feet, the three of them couldn't wait to be rescued by Jenkins.
"Jenkins or a believer in lies?"
Jenkins thought the moment he jumped off the unicorn's back.
The Sacred Bone Sword naturally appeared in his hand, and the cat holding the clothes on his shoulder also turned white:
"Sword dance ยท roundabout!"
The three people on the roof didn't see clearly what was falling from the sky, they were forced to close their eyes by the dazzling sword light.
But even with his eyes tightly closed, he could still feel the goosebumps on his body due to the instinctive panic when the blade swirled by. The wind pressure made the exposed skin tingle, and the clatter sounded like the most skilled musicians playing fast-paced music.
Opening his eyes, he saw a man with a white cat standing next to them holding a sword. Mr. Candle didn't check the situation of his friends, but looked up.
Even though the swirling sword dance just now had destroyed all the chains on the surface, from the soil around the mansion, there were still a steady stream of chains emerging from the depths of the ground.
At the same time, the bronze mechanical bird released by Jenkins on the outskirts of Honeywood Town, which was more powerful due to the power of lightning, also failed to stop the skeleton mechanical bird emerging from the crack in the abyss.
At this moment, most of the rainy sky was covered by a swarm of locust-like birds. The dancing chain tentacles did not attack immediately, but clustered together, wriggling like sea waves and overwhelming the four people on the roof.
The sound of the chains squeezing and colliding with each other is really a bit like the sound of ocean waves. It's just that the few people on the roof would rather be submerged in sea water than face this situation now.
