The battle on the spiritual level is far less easy than the battle on the physical level, but because of the huge difference in size between them, almost the second after Jenkins was determined to end the battle, the broken piece that was split from the incomplete soul The fragments of his soul were shattered.
The process of soul shattering cannot be seen with the naked eye, but because they are spiritually connected, Jenkins thinks he "sees" the whole process of a small piece of glass being crushed by a giant like himself.
Without the guidance of the soul power, the huge mechanical monster underground completely lost control. The more frenzied tentacles tried to clean up everything on the ground. In an instant, the demigods almost couldn't suppress it, allowing the underground things to break through to the surface.
"Williamt, do something!"
Jenkins heard someone shouting from the wind, and responded loudly:
"Persevere, it will be fine soon."
He stepped down with his left foot, let go of the cane in his hands, and rose into the air by himself. This is of course not flying, but just jumping into the sky with its own powerful strength.
Looking down from a high altitude, the space of the strange world can almost be seen at a glance. The metal tentacles are like rotten sores growing in the city, making their final struggle.
Given the Difference Engine's bad habit of equipping its own creations with self-destruct devices, Jenkins made no attempt to gain full control of the massive metal husk.
He felt the wind, fog and smoke in the air, and let the phantom of the giant steel tree appear behind him again.
After going through the tests of the nine-story pagoda, he also thinks that he has learned more things. In this world, nothing is completely opposite, as long as it exists in this world, there must be the possibility of harmony and balance.
All things can coexist, but if there is only one thing in the world, then it must be wrong. The Difference Engine went the wrong way, and Jenkins was more and more sure of this.
The phantom of the giant metal tree behind him became more and more solid. Life and death, as well as unborn and undead machines, the three forces spread their brilliance towards this small world. Even if there are only four abilities left, it doesn't matter if you can't fully use [Theory of Myriad Machines] or [Seedling of the World Tree].
He is gradually getting rid of the shackles of the benefactor system, and getting rid of the shackles of this magic-like extraordinary system on high-ranking people.
In the wind, those spots of chaotic color were sent to all parts of the city. As the light spots merge into the ground, into the tentacles, and into the bodies of people in the strange world, the vibration of the ground gradually subsides, and the tearing of the space is gradually repaired.
The wild dance of the tentacles stopped, and they returned to the ground along the hole on the surface, and the black smoke and gray mist gradually dissipated in the wind.
The moon emerged from behind the clouds, and Nolan was gradually regaining his composure. The twenty-four demigods returned to the edge of the square and watched the double-helix metal vine isomers clinging to the square, which looked like mountains and trees, slowly shrinking downward as if going back in time.
The two were originally entangled with each other, but at this moment, as the runes on the surface of the vines and the incantations on the metal surface flickered, they rubbed against each other, unwinding one by one.
When the last vine shrank back to the gap between the stone bricks of the square, and the last strand of metal wire shrank back to the big hole in the center of the square, and filled the big hole again, Jenkins in the sky slowly fell against the moonlight.
Of course, this is not flying either, just gliding with the help of the wind.
When Jenkins' feet touched the ground, except for the clock tower that was destroyed by the cogwheel man's self-destruct, everything in the strange world seemed to return to normal, as if it was just a dream.
But as long as you observe carefully, you can know that this is not a dream. Countless gray, green and bronze light spots are flying in the night sky. stop flashing. The whisper, which would not be noticed under normal circumstances, grew louder as the fighting subsided.
The light of the two full moons gradually dimmed, as if they were afraid of something.
"It is finally going to become a beast of disaster."
Jenkins stood in the middle of the square and breathed a sigh of relief. Dad and others walked quickly, and Chocolate also ran over and jumped into Jenkins' arms.
"So...is it over?"
Almost everyone was wounded, even the demigod from the Church of the Sea who was good at using tridents had to be supported by people to stand firm, but at least everyone was still alive. The biggest pressure just now was on Jenkins.
"Of course it's not over."
Jenkins answered Mr. Gilbert's question, then looked around. The citizens of "Nolan" reappeared in the square and on the streets, but the white light door that left the strange place did not appear.
"I defeated the humanoid avatar created by the Difference Engine, and together with you defeated the key body of the Difference Engine for combat. Now, only its core is left."
"Then where is the ontology core?"
The old gravekeeper asked quickly, the coffin he was carrying no longer had a lid, and his handsome beard seemed to have been burned. In addition, the left sleeve of the jacket is gone, and there is blood on the right breast, but the eyes still have a brilliance that exceeds the age limit.
"Don't worry, wait until it completely completes the transformation, you see."
Jenkins stood in the center of the square and pointed to the sky. Generally speaking, the sky in the strange land is all dark, and it is impossible to observe the stars, but this time the strange land is extremely special. There are not only the moon but also stars:
"It's among the stars."
Everyone present is a demigod, and they all have their own understanding of astrology. Pointed by Jenkins, he immediately discovered the mystery of this strange starry sky. Among the stars, something seemed to be lurking. That indescribable thing is almost integrated with the dark background of the night sky, but it can breathe and tremble with the changes of the starry sky.
That is the calamity of dormancy, the calamity of sublimation. From the very beginning, it has been sleeping in the starry sky above everyone's heads, but now that the clouds have cleared and the fog has cleared, it is already possible to see this colossal thing, which is completing its final sublimation in this starry sky.
The real eye of Jenkins is no longer needed, and the naked eye can observe the cycle of the indescribable thing and the spirit of the entire deceitful world. Every time it trembles, it becomes stronger, and every rhythm represents an increase in strength.
And more importantly, the darkness is so deep that people hardly dare to look directly at it. In the center of the huge thing hidden in the starry sky, almost above everyone's heads, there is a black vortex in the night sky. It is hidden in the dark night sky background, horror, despair, any negative adjective can be used to describe its impact on people.
But it is also heavy, so heavy that it almost falls from the sky, and pulls the space in the sky to coincide with the space below. This is the root of everything, this is the sin of the 18th century, and this is the most terrifying creation created by human beings while creating civilization.
It seems that there are countless tentacles dancing in the starry sky, and it seems that the secrets of the stars are being torn apart by that indescribable thing. The deep, terrifying, unknown, all sins are gathered in this starry sky above the head.
