Time stands still!

The mechanical heart that leaped in Vanessa's chest pulsated wildly and pumped out of boundless energy. Furious and ferocious sorcery energy frantically accumulated in the cold, stiff metal shell, reaching the limit threshold of self-detonation almost instantaneously.

Vanessa's eyes were filled with unconcealed hatred and indulgent madness.

Although the plan she had been planning for more than forty years was shattered, if she could take away the hateful woman in front of her, she might be able to make that demonically powerful evil wizard feel a little regretful for his rash invasion of the goblin plane.

It doesn't take much, it can't be too much, as long as it can make that demonic man feel 'a little' regret, Vanessa is satisfied!

It's a pity that when the crazy light was still shining in her eyes, outside of her spiritual consciousness, the whole world, this heaven and earth suddenly 'stopped' for a moment.

In fact, the world does not stand still, and neither does the heavens and the earth stop moving.

But what really makes a difference is the speed of 'that hateful woman'!

When a person's speed suddenly increases tenfold, a hundredfold, then I am afraid that in her vision, everything around her is slow and sluggish.

When the third-order mechanical heart in Vanessa's chest suddenly went berserk and was about to explode, Mary, the blood queen who was standing ten steps away in front of her, also suddenly entered a hypersensitive state.

In the hypersensitive state, everything around them suddenly became quiet and frozen, and all the people and objects within the horizon were flowing in an extremely slow and distorted form and time dimension. In this state, the air that was originally insensible suddenly becomes viscous and stagnant, and people consume more energy when walking through it.

And the only person in the entire 'stationary world' who can move is probably Mary.

Like a beautiful woman strolling leisurely, she slowly walked up to Vanessa with graceful and calm steps, leaned over to look at the other party's face distorted and distorted by anger, and tapped her fingers on the chest that was already red and hot, revealing a dazzling red glow, which seemed to be loaded with a small sun that was about to explode, and then a faint smile appeared on her face.

In the next second, a small and delicate dagger suddenly appeared in Mary's hand, and quickly pierced into the tiny cracks of Vanessa's metal body with her unrecognizable swift movements.

Golden daggers are flying.

As if an elegant pianist were playing a beautiful movement, it took less than two seconds for Mary to effortlessly cut and disassemble all the metal components and connecting hubs from Vanessa's neck down, and gently picked out the mechanical heart that was still pulsating wildly with a golden dagger.

At this moment, Mary took the initiative to withdraw from the hypersensitive state.

So, in the almost unaware mental perception of the crowd, Mary suddenly appeared in front of Vanessa like a god, holding her head in one hand and a strange metal heart with a dagger in the other. Vanessa's metal body crackled and scattered to the ground like a pile of sand that had lost its support.

“…… Let's ......."

Vanessa didn't seem to sense anything unusual around her, and roared wildly. But as the long sound of the last word 'bar' dragged on for so long, and the wild self-explosion in the wait did not happen, Vanessa couldn't help but close her mouth and look around in horror.

It was only then that she was shocked to find that her body had been scattered into a patch of unrecognizable metal parts. And at the moment, she only had a lonely head held in the air by the other party.

No, no, no, in addition to the head, she also has a heart left, a mechanical heart with third-order energy, which is also being gently played with by the other party in his hand.

As for the self-detonation, it has lost the support of its body and the control of its consciousness, and this mechanical heart, which has just been in its hands for more than a year, cannot be remotely controlled with the degree of integration between Vanessa and it. Therefore, the mechanical heart, which had almost reached the threshold of self-detonation, was quickly shriveled and withered under Mary's almost playful slapping and soft feet, like a tire that had been pulled out of the valve.

"Little one, you've only taken a few steps on your wizarding path? With your strength, what tricks do you want to play in front of a high-level wizard? Hmph, remember, among wizards, strength is really everything. I don't want you to die, you never want to die!" After holding Vanessa's head up in front of her eyes and sneering fiercely, Mary threw it far away to the Wind Witch de Serra.

"I'll leave this little girl to you, remember to torture her to find out everything she knows. ”

Wind Witch Desiera took the only remaining mechanical head of Vanessa, a hideous and terrifying smile appeared on her face, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mari-sama, I will definitely squeeze everything out of her head!"

The damage caused by this goblin rebellion to the Machine City was too great, and it also swept away the face of the wizard stationed there. Therefore, if the mastermind behind the scenes fell into his hands, how could he spare her.

Seriously, this goblin rebellion is more of a farce.

With the strength of the goblin clan, they are powerless to resist or get rid of the enslavement of the Crimson family. Therefore, their plan to break away is not destined to succeed, and will only attract the wrath and repression of the family higher-ups.

And the reason why the current situation is so unbearable has to be said that it also contains some of the responsibilities of the hidden 'black hands'. As for who the secret 'black hand' is, several people present know it, but they can't come up with ironclad evidence of the other party's participation for a while.

With the loss of Vanessa and the escape of those goblin magnates, the demon warband organized by the rebels was almost instantly defeated by the wizard forces of the Crimson family.

At this point, the battle situation has become so obvious that the 'neutrals' who are cowering in the mechanical city have finally lost their hold and run out to maintain order and attack the rebels.

For a time, the mechanical city was full of war, and the battle magic weapons belonging to the two sides fought to the death in various regions, and the battle was turned upside down.

Taking advantage of this, Mary led the vampire forces to recapture the Central Witch Tower.

A moment later, a huge projection of a woman appeared in the sky above the Machine City, and it was Mary with a sweet smile on her face.

"Citizens of Machine City, for some well-known reasons, a short curfew and military restrictions are about to be imposed in Machine City. From now on, those who continue to stay on the streets will become our enemies and will be attacked by the Wizard Guard. Until the rebels are thoroughly cleared, all goblins must stay in their dwellings and expel any suspicious outsiders. Failure to carry out this order will also be seen as complicity of the rebels and will be attacked by the Wizard Guards......"

With Mary's shouts and intimidation, the chaos in the streets quickly extinguished, and all the goblins rode on the chocobos and rushed desperately to their dwellings. And in this way, the outsiders who mingle in it undoubtedly become extremely conspicuous.

More than thirty vampire wizards who were floating above the Machine City with their bats flapping their wings didn't know that they were their targets, and one by one pursed their lips and swooped down.

A new battle soon broke out!

And inside the central tower of Machine City, Mary is also silently waiting for news from the Wind Witch de Serra.

Soon, Desira and Kirby, the goblin, walked in with a solemn expression.

"How's it going, what's the catch?" asked Mary.

"Maria-sama, although there is no direct evidence, the fragments of memories extracted from Vanessa's soul show that the guy was indeed involved in this goblin rebellion. And the second-generation magic machines that appeared in large numbers in the rebels were the reinforcements sent by that guy!" said Deserra, gritting his teeth.

"Also, we've captured several more goblin rebel leaders, and we've found that they all show signs of being invaded by psychic abilities......" Goblin Kirby added.

Mary's slender fingers tapped on the tabletop, squinting at her scarlet blood pupils and thinking seriously, before finally speaking.

"Purpose? Who can tell its purpose, to overthrow the Crimson family with these unsuccessful goblin rebels? I don't think that guy should be so mentally retarded, should he? So what is it trying to do with these goblin rebels so bothered? Isn't it afraid of annoying Grim and settling accounts with it?"

"My lord......" De Serra hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "I counted the inventory just now, and the loss of the Central Witch Tower is not heavy, but ...... But the stock of sixty tons of Quelas alloy ...... But it's gone!"

Mary's fingers froze in mid-air.

As a true high-ranking member of the Crimson family, she knew very well in her heart that these Queyras alloys were the core resources of the family to build the magic furnace. And each magic furnace means a floating giant ship or a swarm of high-level magic machines.

And their significance to the Crimson family is undoubtedly huge!

"Good, good...... It seems that that guy is determined to tease the family's psychological bottom line. Okay, great, I'm going to see where it wants to go!"

Under the full suppression of vampire wizards, the rebels in the Machine City were quickly eliminated.

Along with it, Wind Witch Deserra also took the opportunity to clean up a group of diehards and old-fashioned factions in the goblin camp, and once again firmly controlled the powerful magic force of the entire mechanical city.

Mary, on the other hand, left Soros and the vampire forces in Machine City to temporarily hold down the field for Desella. As for herself, she turned around and returned to the wizarding world, and quickly found Grim in the Flame Throne.

How the two sides communicate and communicate, outsiders naturally do not know.

However, after Mary poked the news to Grim in a fit of rage, she was never heard from again.

After leaving the Flame Throne, Mary returned to the Crimson Family's new headquarters of the Witch Tower, never to speak of it again. And Grim is still hidden deep in the Flame Throne, not an inch.

After the entire family cleared up the rebellion, there was no follow-up action, and it seemed that they had no intention of pursuing the mastermind behind the rebellion.

And so, time passed day by day......
