In the process of flying rapidly upward, Jenkins reached his hand to the shoulder:
"You go first~"
He tossed the chocolate aside, watched the old man being caught, and watched Vanilla, the white cat, disappear into the air after canceling the projection.
With the strength of the old man, he rushed to the sky, and the power in the pupils gathered again, but it was too late to stop Jenkins.
[Ring the big bell three times!
Sing in unison, praise...]
Jenkins fully understands what the other party is going to do. When his own strength cannot be increased in a short period of time, it is the best way to seek strength from outside. Once its name spreads throughout the world, the resulting fear, resentment, and even morbid worship will give power to this monster that is close to the concept of "machinery".
At the same time, announcing its real name as the beginning of disaster will also make it closer to the essence of the beast of disaster. This is not a ceremony recorded in the data, this is an announcement, the simplest way in this world—announcing my name.
This is the third sentence that must never be completed, otherwise, adding this declaration with an incomplete soul would be enough for it to complete the sublimation of sin.
The location of the sound exists in the sky and also in the ground. Unless the core of the difference engine is found immediately at this moment, there is no way to stop the next words anyway.
Jenkins had already reached the metal head with the help of his father. He didn't intend to slow down at all, and rushed straight to the metal pupil. Power was also accumulated in the pupils again, and a second before Jenkins' sword tip approached the pupils, a huge force struck again.
"It's useless! Are you the only one who can use mind power?"
Since using the potion just now, the purple light in the eyes has never disappeared. Even though the power of the potion has long since disappeared, the lavender light in the eyes still exists. At this moment, the light was so strong that it became extremely strong. With Jenkins' gaze, the soul moved the spirit, and the spirit affected the reality, manifesting as thought power and rushing forward.
The two spiritual forces collided in the void, causing the air to twist wonderfully.
Jenkins' sword pierced the metal eye pupil, and then he crashed directly into the metal skull. The inside of the metal shell is a hollow, and inside the hollow is a suspended jellyfish-like brain.
Tentacles stretched in all directions to control the strange metallic features, and also extended towards him after he entered.
Jenkins, who finally realized that he could not stop the third sentence from being uttered, ignored the entangled brain tentacles, but waved his hand to call out his bronze book, and the power of [Machinist] was rushing like never before.
In an instant, he gained control of the terrifying mechanical creation in front of him, and even affected the brain to a certain extent, thus allowing his own spirit to briefly contact the difference engine.
Jenkins in the air thought he saw a terrifying and weird behemoth, and the difference engine underground also thought he saw another terrifying and weird behemoth.
Thus, the voices of the two who also used mechanical power mixed together and spread to the whole world at the same time:
Difference Engine & Jenkins:
[Ring the big bell three times!
Sing in unison, praise—the Lord of all chances!]
The black cloud finally spread from Nolan to the whole world. The aliens in the fire, the demon spirits in the fog, and the evil spirits in the clouds seemed to exist or not. The visible and the invisible, the audible and the inaudible, all come into this world through this manifesto.
In the world based on steam machinery, the metal creations vaguely resonate with the behemoths buried deep in the earth.
When people heard the announcement, they uttered a long dream, like waking up from a big dream and understanding the world for the first time. Although the end has not come, the disaster has really arrived.
The metal head in the sky once again emitted a radiant light. The brass-colored metal color peeled off and turned into a bronze-colored color, but soon turned into a brass-colored color again:
"I am, Big! Wisdom! Wisdom!"
The sound spread to the surroundings like an echo, and the church demigods under the huge head were ready to attack. Unexpectedly, as the sound appeared, there were also strange noises from the two nearby blocks.
Afterwards, the metals related to the steam machinery flew from the ground to the sky like inverted raindrops, as if absorbed by the head.
Its power became stronger, and the three declarations after the three bells rang directly changed the nature of the difference engine, which caused the metal head to become more powerful.
Black mist spouted from the mouth, eyes and nose, and the blazing flames rushed towards the Church of the Sages at the fractured place under the head.
But its movements suddenly stopped, and then the metal that flew high in the sky fell down together with the raindrops, and the metal head itself was also crumbling.
"It's Mr. Candle!"
Everyone saw the follower of lies enter the skull just now, and they thought he was defeated, but they didn't expect to be able to directly affect the metal skull from the inside.
At this moment, the voice came from the inside of the skull, and the demigods nearby could clearly hear Mr. Candle's last words:
"This head is a clone made by the difference engine. The brain inside is directly connected to the body of the difference engine. Now I will temporarily paralyze it, and you attack it together. I will cooperate with the self-destruct from the inside, and I will definitely be able to defeat this head. It will affect the difference engine in the ground!"
"But Mister Candle!"
Miss Bevanna shouted, but was interrupted by Jenkins:
"The savior is meant to be sacrificed. Even if I die, there will still be Miss Fabri and William. I'm about to lose it, and even if I'm rescued, it won't help. Three, two, one, to me …”
His voice didn't come out completely, the energy impact from the ground and the air and the complex and diverse magical abilities made the explosion suppress all other sounds at this moment.
Afterwards, white sword marks pierced the five sense organs one after another, black flames sprang out from the metal gap in the skull, and the "twin demons" that exploded inside completely tore apart the special alloy connection.
The giant jellyfish-like brain escaped from the center of the explosion, but it didn't fly very far before being stopped in the rain by more than 20 church demigods, led by the old gravekeeper. He looked regretfully at the tattered and lifeless body in the falling alloy not far away, and then launched the final attack on the giant brain.
Of course, the church did not believe that other lie believers died so hastily, but the death of Mr. Candle happened in front of them. Regardless of what happened to those five dead, even funny guys, Mr. Candle, it really was a sacrifice.
Even because of this action, the church has some doubts about whether the deaths of other lie believers are true. But those who had this kind of thinking soon felt their own stupidity. That group of people could not exit in this way. Even if they exited, they would have to be as vigorous as Mr. Candle. in people's memories.
In the circular negotiation venue above the Church of the Sages, Jenkins opened his eyes suddenly, covered his chest and moaned softly. Alexia saw the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"For the first time in the projection state, the projection ended because it was killed."
He tried his best to suppress the urge to cough, but he coughed softly, causing more blood to fly out of his mouth. Alexia wiped him with a handkerchief distressedly, but fortunately, everyone else was looking up at the sky, and no one paid attention to the situation here.
"Are you okay?"
Alexia reached out and stroked his chest, not to help him heal, but to help him straighten out his chaotic spirit.
"It's okay, just let me rest for a few seconds."
As he said that, he did not forget to pat the worried cat standing on the table so that he would not have to worry:
"This is going to be troublesome. The Difference Engine woke up from a dream and announced its own existence. I have already missed the best chance to defeat it."
"But it didn't become a calamity beast. Isn't it good that you shared part of its power? Are you going to break into the tower?"
"I think, after the appearance of the ninth floor tower, there will be a conclusion. Ahem..."
He coughed again, and Alexia frowned, not because Jenkins was seriously injured, but because she noticed something strange:
"There seems to be something wrong with your spirit."
"Yes, something is wrong."
Jenkins endured the pain in his head and forced a smile:
"The third announcement just now, didn't you find the problem?"
"I seem to hear your tone too... Jenkins, you..."
"Yes, we have jointly declared ourselves the 'Lord of All Machines'. What's more, I and it both have this qualification. We both have the power of the machine. Its power comes from the past, and my power comes from... A foreign land, but they all have an inexplicable connection with this era.
Therefore, I shared part of its power for transforming and sublimating itself, otherwise, if the other party made a perfect declaration, I guess I will have to find a way to enter that tower now. "
He paused, sighed softly:
"It's still like this, we all share the common power. Fortunately, this is just power, and it doesn't involve sin. Otherwise, I really doubt that my arrival has changed nothing at all."
"What are you talking about, Jenkins?"
"Alexia, after everything is over, would you like to hear my story? All my stories."
"Of course, but are you really okay now?"
Using her handkerchief again, she wiped the blood from the corner of Jenkins' eye.
"Now it's the process of self-decontamination, cleaning up the congestion caused by the spiritual stimulation."
He sniffed, and when he exhaled, his nose was also bleeding. Alexia was really worried, but Jenkins' complexion had returned to normal. Apart from bleeding from his seven orifices, he looked very healthy:
"It's all right, look, I'm cured."
"The way you look now doesn't look like you've recovered at all."
Alexia looked at Jenkins very seriously, looked into his eyes, but suddenly saw the phantom of huge gears rotating in his pupils flashed past.
The short lady froze there because of the phantom for a moment, not because of surprise, but because of the pressure from the phantom that made her unable to move.
Obviously it's just a gear, but he seems to see thousands of mechanical creations cheering, as if he sees the roaring steam engine driving the world to gallop, and sees everything in his eyes pointing to the distant future.
