Hearing this sentence, Jenkins frowned. Miss Broniance's divination not long ago showed that the Dire Realm is not only the Dirty Realm, but also contains the power of the past. Combined with this reminder from the time paradoxist, he has some very bad guesses:
"You mean, in that metal tower, each floor has the power of different disaster beasts?"
The origin of the Difference Engine cannot be verified, but it must have experienced at least nine different eras, so it is entirely possible to have seen nine Calamity Beasts, and it is also possible to obtain their power.
"We don't know about the metal tower. But in the nearby city that is the stage of the end of the era, there is indeed the power of an indeterminate number of calamity beasts. Our family has traveled through different times, and we have more than one encounter with different calamities. Beasts meet, so there is absolutely no way to misidentify this breath."
Even if it is only part of the power of the beast of disaster, it is not something that the normalized Jenkins can easily resist. This time, there are the natural enemies Time Paradoxists with [Paradox Bug], otherwise unless he uses that drop of divinity, he has nothing to do with the Mechanical Paradox Bug.
Not to mention that there are nine different imitation Calamity Beasts in the metal tower, even if there is one every other floor, or even one every third floor, it is not something Jenkins can handle.
Unless he can find the natural enemies or restraint methods of those disaster beasts in advance like now. But it's not long before midnight, and Ovia's "The Great Sin: Beast of Calamity" does not mention the clear natural enemies of those monsters. It is impossible for Jenkins to find and deal with the seventeen calamities in the remaining time. means of the beast.
Even if he were to go back to the moment he just crossed a year ago and go through this year again, the possibility that he would be able to find a way to fight against all the beasts of disaster when he came back to the current time point is very slim:
"Speaking of which, in twenty hours or so, it will be the first anniversary of my coming to this world..."
It was evening close to night when it came, and it was the night before, so indeed there were less than twenty-four hours left.
Suddenly realized that it was absolutely abnormal for the decisive battle to take place at this point in time, and the time paradoxists had already bid farewell and left during the moment when Jenkins' thoughts diverged and his mind wandered.
He stood there looking at the corpse of the Mechanical Paradox Worm on the ground, and after a long pause, he raised his hand to the sky.
A thick thunderbolt appeared out of thin air, hitting the bug's body directly. This thunder light also attracted the attention of other people in the convoy. Soon, the convoy scattered all over the plain gathered here. Jenkins also took advantage of this time to cancel the projection and returned to his body in the carriage.
He didn't hide what happened just now, except that he and the time paradoxists had already known each other, he told everyone in the church about everything else. Of course, the Time Paradoxists appeared on their own and have nothing to do with Jenkins.
It is not the most surprising thing that he defeated the mechanical paradox bug with the help of the time paradoxists, but the new information about the nine-story metal tower is the most surprising thing.
"The power of nine different disaster beasts?"
Miss Audrey didn't know what to say anymore:
"Even if it is only part of the power of the beast of disaster, it is completely transcendent. Part of the power of the beast of disaster is also a beast of disaster. Judging from those secret and unopened materials, this is only the god or the messenger of the god. We can only deal with it. I have read the materials at the end of other eras, why did we experience such a dangerous enemy this time?"
This probably has something to do with the fact that the savior is too powerful, but even so, Jenkins thinks that the enemy he faces is too much.
"The situation in the Evergreen Forest is still unknown. The white mist is dissipating. The enemies over there should soon discover the defeat of the Mechanical Paradox Worm. I will continue to go to the forest to check the situation over there. I hope Others are returning to the church now, and let the churches collect as much information as possible about the Beast of Calamity. When I finish dealing with the forest and return to the church, I hope to see some valuable information."
He arranged it like this, but in the end only one-third of the people returned to the Church of the Sages to deliver the news, and the others wanted to go to the forest with Jenkins. After all, it was really hard to say what happened there.
The convoy set off again soon, and arrived at the checkpoint outside the forest without stopping in the gradually dissipating white mist. It was silent here, and there was no figure of the Giver who was supposed to be on duty nearby.
Jenkins checked, but his eyes didn't catch any abnormal aura, and the spirit of life in the forest was quite normal, and he could even see the nearby squirrels and rabbits sleeping soundly.
There is nothing wrong with Evergreen Forest itself, or at least it seems to be. So Jenkins said to Alexia:
"Take me up, I'll take a look at it."
Then he said to the others:
"Don't enter the evergreen forest for now."
Alexia took him by the hand and took him to a high altitude. From the air, I saw the red dragon squatting on the giant tree in the middle of the forest, looking down nervously.
At the same time, the wide field of vision and the monocle that has been worn also allow Jenkins to see more things. No one died, and it didn't look like a fierce battle broke out. At this moment, most of the church's bestowers in the entire forest gathered in the open space of the giant tree in the middle of the forest.
Besides the church bestower, there was a person in the open space with a black aura. The aura is not very strong, not even a monster.
"what is that?"
He asked in a low voice, and then told Alexia what he saw. The short lady probably guessed the situation:
"It seems that the Difference Engine is ready. Evergreen Forest is safe, it is waiting for you."
Just as she had guessed, the black aura that appeared in the middle of the forest was another manipulated mechanical body. The workmanship of the difference engine is so exquisite that it even covered the mechanical body with skin, making him look very human.
It looked at the white shadow hanging upside down under the pool without saying a word, and turned around until the footsteps of Jenkins and his party came from the end of the path connecting the open space:
"Savior, I have known for a long time that even the power of the beast of disaster cannot stop you."
It looks like a human being, but the face has no facial features, as if covered with a white cloth. Black clouds, gray fog and ashes are also affecting this forest. There are no street lights in the forest, and the light mainly comes from the candles held by the benefactors who are forced to gather here by the difference engine.
Its faceless appearance looked terrible, and Jenkins just snorted:
"You don't want to persuade me to surrender to you, do you?"
"No, no, I've already figured it out. You can plan such a scam, and even after deceiving people in the whole world, you can still gain the support of the whole world. Your ambition is definitely not smaller than mine. It seems that , My means are even inferior to yours, and my strength may be stronger than yours, but it was only recently that I realized the importance of the human race to the world."
"What exactly do you want to come here for?"
The numbered items concentrated in Evergreen Forest were not taken away by the Difference Engine. This is the storage place for numbered items, and the storage place is the most important area for all churches. Without various verifications, even the people stationed in the Evergreen Forest would not be able to take away any items, and the difference machine obviously failed.
"I just want to see you again before you enter my tower. By the way, make sure that you can really deal with the power of the beast of disaster, and you won't fall down on the first floor of the tower. It won't be too much if you come that way." Are you bored... It's a good idea to use numbered items, but do you think I'll miss you?"
"No, I thought you would think I would."
"So, since you thought that I would think that you would do this, do you think that I would target you that you thought that I would think that you would do that that you did not think of but that I thought of?"
Jenkins wouldn't have thought about it if it didn't ask this question, but now that he has this question, he understands it:
"So, it's not a coincidence that the blood-sucking species, the Countess, escaped to Beldyran and used the [Scarlet Dinner Banquet]'s mystic lock?"
"I'm glad you figured that out, it's certainly not a coincidence."
Jenkins has seen many mythos in the past year, and he has personally participated in the use of some mythos. But among all the mystics, [Scarlet Dinner] is the most special one. It is of course very dangerous. If the [Curse of Blood Mosquito] is accidentally leaked, at least the name Beldyran will really become history.
The point is that this fan lock is the only one so far that restricts the strength of the entrant. Reality is not a novel. Even if outsiders have read many literary works in their own world, they need to be below a certain strength to enter the adventure stories of secret lands, but the reality is that this is very difficult to do.
The emergence of the mystic rituals in this world has its historical roots, and it is based on the mystical power before the emergence of the ancient bestower system. Therefore, there are very few fanlocks that restrict the strength of the entrants. It can even be said that even if you check the documents in the palace library, you can hardly find ten.
There must be a purpose for this fan lock to appear beside Jenkins, and this purpose was not revealed until today:
"My tower itself is both a paradox and a ritual. I used the whole world as the ritual base and the tower as the core of the ceremony. After thousands of years of preparation, I completed this mysia. One of the rules of mysia is that one-time No more than one creature can enter the tower. Another rule is that any object of mystical and otherworldly nature brought into the tower by the creature entering the tower must be removed from the tower one month before the entrant enters the tower. was touched by the entrant."
That face was obviously expressionless, but Jenkins thought he saw a smile:
"In other words, savior, you can only enter the tower with numbered items that you have touched a month ago. I wanted to tell you about this surprise when you entered, but I really can't wait to see I can see your expression. This, perhaps, is the wonder of having your own soul."
