As the Lord of Myriad Chances, as a seedling of the World Tree, at the same time, the decaying glory of death shines by my side. Life, death, unborn and undead, the three forces are perfectly integrated, and the green and gray cyclones are wrapped around the giant steel tree at the foot.
As the pages of the large bronze book in his hand turned, more and more knowledge was imprinted in it.
So Jenkins raised his left hand, and the deadly red light from the sky collided with his left hand, and then was choked out as Jenkins grasped his palm.
He looked at the smoking palm, then looked up at the head in the air:
"So what if you have the whole world? Now that the golden ant is sleeping again, it is the real master here. You can control this world, so can't I?"
"Then, William the Savior, you can come and have a try."
From the canopy of the silver-gray giant tree at the foot, two brass-colored giant snakes sprang out suddenly, one on the left and one on the right, which had been ambushed long ago.
But Jenkins just snorted, and the two snakes broke into two groups of parts in the air, and fell into the canopy again like rain.
There was a piercing sound in the air, and something invisible touched the top of Jenkins' head. But the sharp blade couldn't penetrate his head. Jenkins swung his left fist upwards, and with the air waves generated by the sonic boom, the invisible thing was also shattered.
"If you have any other choice, just come here; if you have no choice, just open the door to the next floor. This journey is finally coming to an end."
He said to the head, the shattered unknown metal life on top of the head turned into black ashes and fell freely, but was quickly blown away by the wind.
"Master knows that even if you put the body used for fighting and me here, it is impossible to stop you. But the savior, you will pay the price. The master will witness my loyalty, and you will use the power of a weak mortal posture, to witness the destruction of the eighteenth century. Savior, all this is over."
The world is trembling, as if some kind of behemoth is breaking through the ground and coming to the world. The metal giant hooked up the power of the difference engine, and with the irresistible disaster force set in the background of the paradox, wanted to make a final blow to Jenkins.
This is part of the body of the Difference Engine plus the power of the Paradise itself, and it is impossible for Jenkins to let it do this. So immediately point your fingers up:
"Call the wind and call the rain!"
A stronger body and a larger spirit summoned a larger scale of wind and rain. Dark clouds and lightning flickered, and Jenkins raised the big bronze book with his right hand to the sky.
As the thunder that was enough to illuminate the entire world struck, the big bronze book was hit, and then it shone brightly like a star in the rain.
[Theory of Ten Thousand Machines]absorbed all the characteristics of [Machinist], and the characteristics of exceeding the limit in the thunder and lightning are of course also inherited.
At this moment, the power of the machine is barely balanced with the life force of Jenkins, who is the world tree. Pointing at the sky, he forcibly manipulated the metal giant, and its movement of swallowing the aura of the entire world stopped suddenly.
Instead of reaching for the Star Demon Sword at his waist, he swung his left hand and took out the Great Spiral Sword.
The injection of death, life, and mechanical power caused the fire on the spiral sword to ignite fiercely like an explosion, distorting the air and almost disturbing the continuous space. That fire lingered on Jenkins' retina, the fire of sin, the fire of the furnace of heroes.
"are you ready?"
Jenkins stepped into the air, and the power under his feet caused the smoke and dust to dissipate from the giant steel tree.
But the real tree disappeared, and a brand new giant tree phantom appeared behind it. The tree trunk is twisted from three colors of green, bronze, and gray. The perfect balance of the three forces drives the formation of a more powerful force.
The life of the world tree, the strong affinity for death, and the mechanical knowledge from other worlds together constitute the miraculous power at this moment.
"Savior, usher in the end!"
The brass-colored luster flickered between the two, crossing the barriers of mass conservation and energy conservation, and the cage cast by the special alloy of the difference machine shrouded Jenkins like a void creation.
"Mechanical Light!"
He didn't take out the lamp, but the book in his hand radiated silver-blue light, and the whole cage turned into fine rain of gears and disappeared beside him.
Switching the book to the left hand, holding the big sword in the right hand, Jenkins leaped into the air and danced the spiral big sword in the air, the flames on the sword were as dazzling as bright fireworks.
"Savior, you have the power of a machine, so what if it's not a machine?"
Another brass-colored luster appeared in the air, and after that, the fourth golden ant actually appeared in front of him. It hides this fourth ant, trying to attack Jenkins at a critical moment, but it is still useless.
"Curse of gear disease! Flu!"
The spell ability that obviously needs hair to cast, but it only exerts its power with the touch of Jenkins' finger. The ant he touched suddenly coughed in the air—it didn't have any vocal organs at all, and then it scattered into a pile of gears and fell, waiting for the other three sealed ants to revive it again.
"Savior, you have been fooled, how much ability do you have!"
The head laughed and slammed into Jenkins' sword head-on:
"I know I can't stop you at all, but how much power did you use to defeat me?"
The head gathered most of the power of this strange place, and collided with Jenkins who controlled death, life and mechanical power.
This scene should have appeared only in the final battle, but it was shown on the eighth floor in advance.
The fiery red sword fell, and the bang exploded bright sparks in the air. Approximate gods are gods but not gods at this moment. Jenkins, with the delicately balanced three kinds of power, split the gathering point of the power of the delusion.
When the two fell to the ground together, the metal parts of the huge head splashed everywhere, but they stabbed Jenkins' body in vain as if they were still alive.
He stepped on the ground with both feet, and swept them away with his fiery red sword under the dusky sky. When the fragments of the giant fell with Jenkins on the island in the middle of the river that was almost wiped out due to the battle above, it The core had been exposed, falling between a pile of metal gears.
It was the metal head.
It's right, after this round of fighting, Jenkins's remaining abilities are only [Unknown Way], [Knowledge Bestowment], [Mechanical Dream], [Spirit Empathy] and his use of five of the six bubbles. There are five abilities in exchange.
In [Four Seasons] and other abilities, he nurtured [World Tree Seedlings], and he specially asked Yinlong to take him to the church, just for the sake of learning an ability at the cost of five blank bubbles that his father once said.
But even if there are only five abilities left, he doesn't care at all. The battle standing on the Iron World Tree just now made him discover the possibility of the ultimate fusion of death, life and machinery, which will allow him to take the next step, the more critical step.
"Can we open the door now?"
Jenkins asked the smoking head, which lay on the charred ground surrounded by shards of metal. Scorching black steam continuously erupted from the surface of the skull, and there were some small particles in the steam, but they didn't know what they were.
"You are no longer human."
This is not to insult Jenkins, but to state a fact. The battle just now fully demonstrated that in the process of climbing the tower, not only the difference engine hidden on the ninth floor is improving, but Jenkins is also improving. Jenkins really is fundamentally different than when he entered the first floor of the tower. This tower is also tempering for him, what can't kill him will eventually make him stronger.
"Yes, so, are you going to let me split you, or are you going to open the door to the ninth floor of the delusion for me?"
The metal head tried to look up, but all it saw was the dark shadow of Jenkins against a rainy sky. It never thought that it could stop the savior, and at this moment it consumed that miraculous balancing power, and it was already satisfied.
It saw the phantom of the three-color giant tree dissipate behind Jenkins, saw that this was not a power that could be used continuously in a short period of time, and saw that in the decisive battle a few hours later, the savior would not be able to exert the power just now. Swinging a sword can cut through the power of time.
It's quite satisfying, but still trying to interfere with Jenkins' thoughts at the end:
"Aren't you worried that our battle just now hurt the ordinary people in the shelter? The trees were all turned into dust, and you killed them all."
"There is no need to play such a small trick. How could there be someone in this seal used to seal the beast of disaster? Those just now even include the ship and the metal city I saw and the land of steel you mentioned , are nothing but phantoms transformed by the rules of deceitful realms, I have experienced so many deceitful realms, can I still not be able to distinguish this point?"
Withdrawing the spiral sword, Jenkins grabbed the human head with one hand and lifted it up. Instead of talking nonsense with it, he threw it on the big book symbolizing "The Principle of Ten Thousand Chances".
In the last laugh of the human head, it was "digested" by the big bronze book little by little, and more knowledge about the difference engine appeared in the book.
This human head claims to be the second intelligence after the difference engine, maybe it is true. Jenkins could feel that [Theory of All Machines] was being filled completely, and felt that if he could absorb all the knowledge of the Difference Engine, then [Theory of All Machines] would be enough to evolve into the real [Lord of All Machines].
From this, he might actually obtain the priesthood [Mechanical] or [Gear], thus qualifying to compete with the God of Creation, one of the righteous gods, in the priesthood domain.
After digesting that human head, the power of Paradise was temporarily controlled by him. Life, death, and machinery, three completely different forces reunited in the body under the oppression of the strange environment, and the phantom of the giant tree behind him was branded into the soul.
Some remnants of the power bestowed by the world tree, the power of death in the deceitful world that seals the beast of disaster, and the power of the difference engine in the metal human head stimulated the further strengthening of Jenkins' body and soul.
