394 A behemoth with a fish's head
Catherine swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her mouth was dry and she trembled, it was an unconscious awe of the irresistible power between heaven and earth.
On the ground, the two mountains finally collided together. Countless pieces of debris erupted from the ground into the air, so dense that they obscured everything on the ground, like a basin of black oil splashed on a white cloth.
Molten steel suddenly fell from the sky and viciously poured it on the core area with the most dense debris of parts. The gates in the firmament withdrew the invisible force just as the collision below occurred. Unstoppable huge amounts of molten steel poured down like a tidal wave, like a raging river hanging from the sky.
At the same time, an unbearable sound of metal grinding came from the ground, "clack, clack". The sound grew louder and louder, like a terrible scream.
Even at such a distance from the ground, the grinding sound still made Catherine creep at the giant eyeballs. She couldn't help but say to the ice bear abyss beside her, "Did you hear the screams too? I think what I heard was the screams, the screams of the terrible torture. ”
"Well, I think so too. Ice Bear Abyss slowly exhaled a breath, and he had been holding his breath since just now, until he said these words, and the turbid breath that was stuffed in his chest was exhaled.
Amid the boiling molten steel, the dense wreckage of parts, and the endless screams, a behemoth is quietly being born. No one could see what it looked like, as the line of sight could not penetrate the red-hot molten steel and the dense wreckage of parts scattered in mid-air. But its existence is not perceptible to anyone, and even the process of drawing nourishment from iron and fire and strengthening itself is clearly perceived.
Sirens rang out louder and louder in Cogwheel City, and dense black barrels protruded from the workshops. The towering buildings rumbled and turned their iron-toothed discs. In Catherine's eyes, the buildings changed their form and moved slowly around the city.
The two sides seem to be competing for speed, the behemoths thrive under the impermeable iron curtain, and the gigantic buildings of Gear City are trying their best to come together.
The premonition of danger was so obvious and clear in the minds of Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss that it was like a condemned prisoner had been escorted to the execution ground.
"There's no escape. Catherine's eyes were blank and her expression was desperate. She actually subconsciously let the giant eyeball drop downward.
"Pop" Ice Bear Abyss didn't care a lot, and it was a slap in the face to the female mage. "You sober up. "After all, the spiritual will of the shaman of Mount Kinabalu is much stronger, and although he also feels hopeless, he can still maintain enough sanity.
The tingling sensation brought Catherine to her senses, and she immediately put a little finger into her mouth and bit down. Instead of bleeding from the wound, it was covered in black. Catherine spit out the little finger in her mouth and held it in her hand, the whole little finger was completely black and solid as a rock.
"What a terrible force of fear. The little finger was filled with the fear that had crept into Catherine's mind. If it weren't for this pure dark power that alarmed the black-fronted rat's instincts, the slap in the Ice Bear Abyss wouldn't have saved the female mage. The black-fronted rat is a creature from the underworld, born with dark powers, and its instincts are sensitive to dark forces. The black-fronted rat instinct, which had been suppressed by Catherine, suddenly went berserk just now, trying to break free and devour the fear of intrusion. The fears probably sensed the presence of predators, and they all hid in Catherine's little finger.
The slap of the Ice Bear Abyss was just right to help Catherine suppress the black-fronted rat's instincts, allowing her to bite off the finger of fear.
Before the power of fear could strike again, Catherine urged the giant eyeballs to fly higher and farther away.
The behemoth on the ground slowly forged its form, its head protruding from the center of the area where the molten steel mixed with the wreckage of the parts. It was a fish head with sharp teeth in its mouth, and a pair of fish eyes that were lifeless, without the agility of a living creature. At first glance, it looks like a steel sculpture poured out of a botched mold. However, on both sides of the fish's head, the two cheeks that are burned red are completely composed of iron-toothed discs and iron shafts, and they seem to be breathing one by one.
In the City of Cogs, the huge buildings have finally come together. Countless branch-like machines reach out from them, intersecting with each other to form new parts and joints.
From above, Catherine could make out a large humanoid form.
"It's going to war. "The situation is almost clear, and the Ice Bear Abyss has come to a conclusion.
"I don't know what kind of monsters will grow down there, Gear City is a little slow. Catherine looked at the behemoth with a fish's head exposed. Deep down, she unconsciously sided with Gear City.
"It should be in time, and it doesn't look like it's the first time Gear City has dealt with the monsters below. The Ice Bear Abyss also turned his attention to the behemoth, "But if it only grows a fish, it may not be difficult to deal with." ”
But the change in the next moment made the Ice Bear Abyss jaw-dropping. Beneath the head of the fish, a strong body grew. First the muscular chest, then the strong forelimbs, and the sharp claws, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the body of a fish.
With the appearance of the behemoth's body, the lifeless fish's eyes began to become flexible, and from time to time it rolled its eyes twice to observe the surroundings. The gills of the fish open and close, directly inhaling a large amount of molten steel into the body with the remains of the parts. Perhaps at the critical moment, the gate on the dome seemed to be trying to open a little bigger, and the long river of molten steel hanging in the sky suddenly thickened.
Gear City must have sensed the crisis, and the sirens were rushing to the point of madness. When the huge buildings combined with each other, there was a loud "bang", and a steel giant began to take shape.
"Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom......" All the workshops in Gear City began to fire in unison, and the cannonballs flew into the sky in an arc, with only one target, that is, a behemoth with a fish's head.
It was like a black cannonball rainbow bridge in the sky. One is from Gear City, and the other smashes on top of the behemoth's fish. "Dangdangdang......" hits are denser than drumbeats. The behemoth tilted its head at the sudden rain of shells, and angrily stretched out a slap to cover it. But this didn't seem to have much effect, and the cannonball Hongqiao was like a heavy hammer that smashed the behemoth's slap into the fish's head.
And to the surprise of the two sky spectators, Gear City's attack was much more than a simple cannonball. An endless stream of machine puppets actually killed themselves from the Gear City along the cannonball rainbow bridge, and rushed on the cannonball rainbow bridge hundreds of meters away. They come in a variety of forms, some like animals, some like humans, and many more are strange shapes - crab puppets with wings, bull-headed puppets with dragon-shaped bodies, bear-like puppets writhing like snakes, large and small, and grotesque.
