Chapter 0528: Gazruvi's Resurrection
Ceremonial Hall.
Even though there is already a bloody storm outside, it is still a busy and lively scene.
Goblin researchers in white lab coats rushed in and out, directing goblin technicians to hurriedly inspect the metal pipes and control hubs that stretched for kilometers in the mountainside.
If the Iron Capital is successfully activated in the future, then these 3-meter-diameter metal pipes will become the blood vessels of the Emperor's magic machine, and the huge space furnace will become its heart. As for the old goblin Gazruvi, he will also be resurrected in the body of the Titan Titan of the Great and become the true master of the control of this behemoth.
Yes, that's what the old goblin Gazruvi really planned!
Whether it's the ritual of immortality or the invasion of wizards and dragonmen, it's just part of Ghazruvi's implementation of his 'Titan Project'.
With so many means, Ghazruvi has finally concentrated all the people and resources he needs within the Iron City. Wizards and dragonmen are still free to roam and are not under its control, but as long as they're here, that's all they can do.
The steel city is huge, and that's obvious to all. To revitalize such a huge steel city into a magical life, the amount of life force and soul required is beyond everyone's imagination.
Therefore, the Gazruwe design introduces the elite combat power of all the goblin planes. At that time, not only the 120,000 goblins living in the steel city will become sacrifices, but also its private army, royal legions, wizards, and dragonmen will also become the nourishment for the resurrection of the demon god Titan.
And it, the smartest goblin in the world, will use this surging life force to merge with the steel capital of the past and become an immortal Tier 4 Demon God Titan.
At that time, the goblin plane will also become the pedal for its rise, making it a new generation of demon gods in the vertical and horizontal plane worlds. And it will also add a new species to the multiverse, the Magical Lifeform!
But before that, it first needs a huge vitality to merge itself with the Steel Capital.
Inside the ceremonial hall, Ghazruwe's aging body lay flat on a metal operating table, his skull already blooming like petals. The brains were carefully removed by loyal goblins and placed in a huge glass jar ten meters in diameter and fifty meters high.
The glass jar was filled with a pale green nutrient solution, and Gazruvi's brain, which was the size of a human fist, swam like a tadpole almost as soon as it was placed inside. A dozen tentacles floated beneath the trembling brain, and it was their wobble that gave the gray fluttering brain the basic ability to move.
As the battle progressed, the slain dragonmen scouts were sent into the ceremonial hall, and their corpses were then thrown into several small necesspools nearby. Their bodies, their souls, everything about them, will melt into a pure life solution and pour it into a glass jar, which will become the nourishment for the continuous development and growth of Ghazruvi's brain.
Therefore, an hour after the battle, Gazruvi's originally undetectable brain had grown into a brain worm with a diameter of 3 meters, and began to swim happily in the nutrient solution.
The growth and development of the brain has also given goblins known as magical insulators a certain strange psychic ability. Even without the help of those technological devices, Ghazruvi has the ability to communicate with the goblins outside.
And as the brain continues to expand and grow, this spiritual ability is still being strengthened, and gradually derives some spiritual witchcraft in similar fields.
Telepathy, Psychic Jab, Psychic Whipping, Psychic Blast, Mind Control, Hypnosis, Psychic Hallucinations......
Heaven is pitiful, one by one, the spiritual and spiritual witchcraft that has never been heard of or touched is constantly popping up, which also makes Gazruvi, who has never experienced extraordinary power, excited. Giant brain worms roamed around in the glass jar, and then over and over again to activate these bizarre sorcery abilities.
Overall, the superficial psychic abilities were almost immediately proficient in casting. However, some of the more complex mental abilities, such as mind control and mind blasting, have been cast many times and still don't get the point.
After all, these things are not acquired through hard study and study, but the spiritual power of the brain continues to grow, and when it grows and strengthens to a certain extent, it is as if it can hear and see some fragments of mysterious knowledge from the outside world.
In many cases, these psychic abilities are the innate abilities that come with a certain level of mental power, and they can be mastered with little to no learning. And Gazruvi's goblin essence is undoubtedly too inferior in spiritual origin, so that many innate instincts are difficult to grasp smoothly.
However, while Gazruwe was having fun, the battle in the outside world had developed to the point of dire straits.
Old goblins, no, the goblin defense line placed on the periphery by the brainworm Gazruvi could no longer resist the attacks of wizards and dragonmen, many key passes were lost, and a large number of goblin smugglings and mercenaries were slaughtered.
But in this regard, the brain worm Gazruvi did not care, but instead used telepathy to issue a most brutal slaughter order to his subordinates.
So, when Grimm and Alice set foot on the path to the Space Furnace, a bloody massacre took place in the Iron City, thousands of feet above.
As a goblin city, the Steel City is also home to numerous gardens and squares.
At this moment, these public areas have been occupied by a large number of goblin slaves.
One by one, they were tied to ropes and fell to their knees, and the surrounding street entrances were blocked by goblin chariots. Heavily armed goblin mercenaries stood tall above the surrounding goblin buildings, their guns pointed at the goblin slaves in the field.
As the order was given, the muzzle of the black hole spewed out a foot-long flame, and the stormy metal barrage rained down like drops into the crowd of 'people'. One by one, the goblin slaves cried and wept heartbreakingly, but to no avail.
With the combined efforts of the goblin chariots and goblin mercenaries, the goblins in the squares were killed on the spot. Their bright red blood flowed happily from their sieve-like bodies, pooled into streams on the metal floor, and then merged into a huge wave of blood through the sewer system, rushing straight into the core of the underground system.
In the ceremony hall, with the gathering of a huge amount of blood, blood tanks were filled one after another. And the glass jar in which the brain worm Gazruvi was placed became even more scarlet, and the rich blood gradually engulfed its 'body'.
Although it is difficult to detect the changes taking place in the tank from the outside, through the churning and shaking of the blood waves, it can still be detected that there seems to be a behemoth struggling in pain inside. From time to time, one or two terrible tentacles with a thickness of one meter clattered against the transparent body of the glass jar, where they squirmed and wriggled, and the suckers with the large mouths of the bowls on them were clearly visible.
As if sensing the approaching danger, Ghazruvi's evolution had significantly accelerated, and the number of goblins in the blood sacrifice above the city had quickly reached its peak. With 120,000 permanent residents in the Iron City, and civilians captured from nearby by Ghazruvi's private army, a record 150,000 goblins were sacrificed in blood.
Such a huge force of life force was channeled into the underground with the blood, becoming a catalyst for the fusion of Ghazruvi and the Steel Capital, and also making the entire underground space evil and weird.
Gazruvi's spiritual power continued to grow stronger, and it had already penetrated through the glass jar and began to penetrate in all directions. Originally lifeless metal components, alchemy machines, control platforms, battle weapons, magical weapons...... As long as they were within the scope of Gazruvi's spiritual power, they all began to slowly have a trace of spiritual consciousness feedback.
Wherever Gazruvi's spiritual power extended, it was covered with a layer of white light, and began to appear a wide range of distortions and deformations with Gazruvi's spiritual consciousness.
In just a quarter of an hour, Ghazruvi had turned the ceremonial hall into a part of his body. And with the frenzied influx of life force, its consciousness began to extend along the ubiquitous energy pipes and control systems to other areas of the subterranean space.
Soon, the entire underground space became a part of its body!
However, compared to the assimilation of unconscious metal machinery and alchemy machinery, Ghazruvi's assimilation of the space furnace is extremely difficult. The churning and vibrating magical energy in the space furnace is like hot magma, and every touch can bring it back to life.
In the past, Ghazruvi would have left the space furnace at the end and tried his best to expand his realm of consciousness in the Iron and Steel City. It's a pity that time is too tight for it!
In its spiritual perception, the plane gate in the plane hall began a new round of vibration, and it seemed that there was a new movement in the dragon plane. If the opponent's backup arrives, it will have an unpredictable impact on Gazruvi's resurrection plan.
So Gazruvi has used his power to cut off all the energy pipes leading to the halls of the plane. But those dragonmen seem to have another source of energy, and they have single-handedly supported the operation of the plane gate.
As a last resort, Gazruvi could only bring in a strengthened goblin warband from the periphery and let them take a shortcut to the plane hall to stop the teleportation of the dragonmen's follow-up reinforcements.
In addition to the dragonmen, Gazruwe also found more than a dozen foreign invaders in his 'body'. One of the most terrifying fire witches was the one that led a sorceress to sneak close to the space furnace before it knew it.
This...... It has aroused the vigilance of Gazruvi even more!
