Chapter Eighty-Six: The Gods and the Epic
"Haha, I named it Sky Mechanic City, little one. Just as Muria was complaining, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and an irresistible force acted on Muria, and the familiar feeling of spatial transformation came.
Muria tensed the expression on his face so that he would not appear flustered, he glanced around with some uneasiness, and after seeing Ansor on the side, Muria's mood quickly calmed down.
"Lord Osiris. Under Muria's gaze, Ansor respectfully saluted a tall titan in front of him who was assembling machinery. Seeing his father like this, Muria also bowed along with him.
It's a big guy, Muria made the final decision. The Titan's body was far taller than Muria's grandfather, and at this time, the big man was standing on a huge compound three-dimensional magic circle, assembling pieces of demonic mechanical components that exuded fluctuations that made Muria tremble.
The scene in front of him filled Muria with awe. What's more, I saw the twenty torrents of metal composed of battleships before, which were all the belongings of the big guy in front of him.
"You're welcome. The Epic Titan, who had already assembled the weapons in his hand, the Machine Emperor Osiris turned around and looked at Muria with a smile, "Muria, the Titan and the Son of the Dragon, we have been in contact once before, remember?"
Hearing the familiar tone of the big guy in front of him, Muria was stunned, and took his eyes off the weapon assembled by the big guy with great difficulty. It was a huge firearm nearly three hundred meters long, with intricate and brilliant magic patterns engraved on it, and the moment it took shape, it firmly attracted Muria's gaze.
But when the big guy speaks, attention must be in it. Muria looked away, thought about it, and then reacted. He remembered that when his maternal grandfather Timos came to see him, there was an epic Titan who intervened to stop him once, listening to the exchange between the two at that time, the name of the Titan who shot at that time was Osiris, so it was definitely the big guy in front of him.
"Remembered?" Osiris raised an eyebrow at Muria's realised expression.
"I remembered. Muria smiled shyly, a little uncertain, "Lord Machine, are you the one who fought with my grandfather?"
"Yes, it's me. Osiris smiled, like a kind uncle next door, except for his size.
The seemingly peaceful mechanic emperor made Muria's courage a little fatter. Although, this Emperor of Machines seems to be stronger than his grandfather Akmund.
"Lord Machine, can I ask you some questions?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Do all the mechanical creations out there belong to you?"
"Of course it's mine. ”
"Then ......" Muria hesitated slightly, but still asked the question he wanted to ask the most after seeing the Metal Continent: "How did you build this Sky Mechanical City?"
Muria's grandfather, Akmund, used the power of the Epic Titan to carve out a half-plane with broken rules, and he understands. However, this Sky Mechanical City can be built without being strong at all, which requires a core knowledge that has developed into a civilization in the interstellar age as the foundation for construction.
"This mechanical city. The Mechanical Emperor Osiris raised his hand and touched the metal walls covered with magic patterns around him, "It is a civilization called Yaheng, in order to thank me, they gathered all their manpower and material resources, and it took a hundred years to build it for me.
When I first got the castle in the sky, I wasn't satisfied, so I revamped the city and then grew to its current size. ”
"This ......" After listening to the words of the Emperor of Machinery, a question arose in his heart, what did the Emperor of Machines Osiris do? Let a civilization that focuses on the development of science and technology and has a great demand for resources, gather all human and material resources, spend a hundred years, do nothing, and deliberately build a mechanical city like a piece of land for a powerful alien creature.
"Lord Machine, what have you done for the Yaheng civilization?" asked Muria cautiously. He couldn't imagine what it would be to make an interstellar civilization pay such a big price to thank an alien powerful life form.
"I saved the Aheng civilization and saved their world from destruction. Osiris explained to Muria in a flat tone, describing his past achievements lightly, "The Aheng civilization is a racial civilization that relies entirely on external objects. Their world, for some reason, has attracted the attention of several evil gods who wander the void.
Subsequently, they were jointly invaded by those evil gods, and the weapons made by the Yaheng civilization were very powerful, and they once resisted the invasion of the evil gods' dependents, causing those evil gods to suffer heavy losses. However, when the evil gods appeared, because their essence was so weak, they couldn't even look directly at the evil gods themselves.
As long as the Yaheng people look at the nature of the evil god, they will be polluted and distorted by the power of the evil god, and become the dependent of the evil god. In the case of the evil god's attack, the people of Aheng retreated one after another. They live in a world on the brink of destruction.
At that time, I happened to receive a distress message from their world. So, I arrived in that world with my legions of dependents to help them defend themselves against the invasion of the evil gods.
When the war ended, my dependents were lost, and in order to thank and compensate for my losses, the Yaheng civilization did everything they could to build this Sky Machine City for me, and also gave me their core knowledge and technology. ”
"......" Muria heard the cruelty of that battle in the understatement of the Emperor Osiris, and the legions owned by an epic titan were all wiped out. Considering the number of monster legions his grandfather had, one can imagine how tragic the battle was.
"Huh?" Just as Muria was imagining that kind of grand scene, he realized that something was wrong, "Lord Machine, the evil god should have a believer, right? ”
"It's just a name, those beings who call themselves evil gods, but they are completely different from the gods of our world, they are similar to us, they don't rely on faith, they are not bound by the world, they wander in the void with their dependents. When they come across some suitable worlds, they will invade with their legions and destroy them. ”
"An existence like you!" Muriya listened to this, and a sense of fear rose in her heart, "Lord Machine, this evil god who destroys the world, how is it in the Endless Void?"
"I have traveled in the Void for thousands of years, and I have only encountered more than a dozen evil gods, but through the records of some civilizations, I know the existence of more than thirty evil gods. ”
"So many evil gods?" Murya's face froze as she listened, and she couldn't help but look overhead to see a metal ceiling covered in magic patterns, "Are they coming to invade our world? ”
"You never need to worry about that. On the side, Muria's father, Ansor, spoke up, "None of the evil gods in the void dare to spy on our world. ”
"Why?"
"Because, there are too many gods in our world, although some don't want to admit it, but it is indeed because of the existence of the gods in the sky, so that many beings in the void dare not fight the idea of our world. ”
"Lord Machine. Muria thought for a moment, and once again brought up a fact that puzzled him: "Why do those evil gods want to destroy the world?
Exterminating all the living beings in a world and destroying all the living environments that can be lived in will inevitably make the creatures born in the world try their best to resist, if it is just a preference, then the price to pay in order to satisfy their own preferences is too great.
"The destruction of the world will make the evil gods even stronger. It's their epic path. Osiris said something that made Muria's heart palpitate.
"Epic Road. Muria muttered, and then he looked up at Osiris, the Emperor of Mechanics, who was much taller than his grandfather, and he now had a hunch that he was going to hear words that would affect him for the rest of his life.
"Muria, do you know the difference between epic and deity?"
Muria shook his head honestly, he only knew that the epic was strong now, and it was not inferior to the gods. In a way, the status of the epic is far above that of the gods. But what exactly caused it, he doesn't know.
"The fundamental difference between a god and an epic is the source force, the origin power of the world. It is an all-powerful power, and if you master it, you have almost the power of the Creator. ”
As he spoke, the Mechanical Emperor Osiris picked up a piece of metal ingot in front of him, and in Muria's surprised gaze, this piece of metal bloomed with dazzling aura, quickly splitting and deforming, turning into metal parts, and then combined together, in just a few breaths, a mechanical griffin with a head and tail appeared.
"Wow!" As soon as it appeared, the vivid metal griffin raised its head and roared, and one after another silver-gray soul rings that seemed to be made of metal appeared on its body.
"Ring of Soul Intent!How is it possible?" The scene in front of him brought Muria an unprecedented impact, soul level, feeling his soul, and comprehending the true meaning of his own power. Only intelligent beings with souls will have a soul ring.
"Whew!" the Machine Emperor Osiris raised his palm, and a mechanical griffon, which had been a metal ingot, without any breath of life, flapped its wings and flew up, landing beside Muria, raising a pair of silver-gray metallic pupils to look at him.
"Is there really a soul?" Muria put down the egg in his hand, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch this soul-level mechanical griffin, it was still metallic, but it did have a soul, and he could feel it, "This is creating life!"
"This is one of the basic powers that epics that have mastered the power of the source. Looking at Muria, who kept observing and stroking the mechanical griffin, the Mechanical Emperor Osiris explained lightly, "The gods have similar authority, but they are not as epic as ours. ”
"Why not?" said Muria, curious.
"The gods rely on faith, exalt the throne of the gods, condense the priesthood, hold the authority of the world, and obtain the right to use the world's source power, and their power comes from the world. But at the same time they are bound by the rules of the world and cannot even leave the world.
And the source power of our epic is completely its own, and it can be used at will, without any restrictions. ”
"The source power of the gods comes from the world, so where does the source power of the epic come from?"
"The source power of the epic is also obtained from the world, but unlike the gods who rely on faith to seal the gods and condense the priesthood to obtain the right to use the source power, the way to obtain the source power of the epic can be roughly divided into two types. ”
"Which two?" Muria's eyes sparkled with a little bit of gold, he had a general idea of how to become a god, but he didn't know how to become an epic.
"Save the world, or destroy the world. This is how the epic gains the source power, and it is also the way for the legend to advance to the epic. ”
"Save the world, destroy the world!" Muriya listened with a confused expression, what kind of hell-level difficulty promotion method is this.
"To save the endangered and destroyed world, the will of the world will give the savior the source power as a reward. The source power, which is completely unaffected by the will of the world, can be used freely. ”
"Then Lord Mechanic, you helped the Yaheng civilization to resist the invasion of the evil gods, just for the source power of the Yaheng world?" asked Muria with some palpitations inexplicably.
"Of course, why would I help a civilization I've never seen before?" said the Machine Emperor in a natural tone, "In the endless void, there is no justice or evil, only survival and development, and only strength is the truth. ”
"The evil gods invaded the Aheng civilization and destroyed their world, also for the sake of source power?"
"That's right, the moment the world is destroyed, a large amount of source power will be released, but this source power is too tyrannical, and it also carries the despair of the world, which is very difficult to fuse. ”
Hearing the description of the Emperor of Machinery, Muria's heartbeat missed a beat. This tone was as if the Mechanical Emperor Osiris had destroyed a world and tried to absorb the source power obtained by refining and refining the destroyed world.
"Lord Mechanic, have you ever destroyed a world for the sake of source power?" asked Muria with a stiff smile and a slightly trembling voice.
"Nope. The Mechanical Emperor Osiris looked at Muria, who was a little emotional, and touched his nose, he wondered if this junior had misunderstood something: "I chose the path of salvation." I happened to meet an evil god who destroyed a small world, and at the moment when the world was destroyed and the source power overflowed, I went to get a piece of the pie. ”
