Chapter 55: God's Forsaken Land
The Professor's skin swelled as a gray-white stream of data, and instead of flesh and fat, it was a creaking and spinning gear.
Silver blood flowed through the mechanical human body like a waterwheel with the pumping of the gears.
Smooth metals are linked together to form a bizarre structure. The runes etched on the back flowed with a gray-white halo, and the strange machinery in the heart hummed and worked.
He didn't have any internal organs in his body. In other words, the flesh and blood in his body have been completely replaced by machinery, and there is not even a skeleton, and the structure of the machinery is strange but inexplicably elegant.
"It'sβ"
An Ruosi's pupils shrank instantly.
It never occurred to him that the professor was not human.
"No, I'm human."
As if hearing An Ruosi's heart, the mechanic on the professor's face slid away, revealing an expression that was almost smiling. But without the beautification and packaging of the skin, An Ruosi could only see the mechanical blocks on his face sliding and twisting, disgusting.
Looking at An Ruosi, the professor did not attack, but paused and reiterated again: "I am not an undead or a machine - I am a human. β
"From the beginning to the end - I am human."
"Even if you are an elf, your body has a limit. At first, my nerves became dull, and I began to use metal built-in devices and runes to speed up my body's reactions; Then the internal organs and bones began to age, and I devised a system of mechanically driven and excellently constructed circulation systems with runes; After that, the skin also started to get old and lose its elasticity, so I replaced it with artificial fake skin. β
With that, he stretched out his slender mechanical arm and pointed at his head, "By the way, it looks like it's empty...... Actually, I didn't change my brain. β
"I took my brain out and stored it in absolute safety, connected my perception with a special remote control and operated it. In order to prevent the brain from decaying, I cultivated a giant brain several people tall - the whole of which is a half-flesh device cultivated on the base of Mithril. β
The professor smiled and said proudly in his high-pitched voice with a triple echo: "In fact, only such a device can withstand the computing power of thousands or even tens of thousands of people. β
"In order to increase my combat effectiveness, I have set up enchantments in some places that are more closely protected...... It's a pity that you were countered by your [Destroy Enchantment], otherwise you wouldn't have realized until you died that you never attacked me. β
The professor's voice grew louder and louder, and his body slowly expanded at first. An Ruosi reacted when the professor said the second sentence, and used a continuous stream of thunder, fire, and lasers to carry out continuous blows, but without exception, they were slowed down by the enchantment around the professor, and then analyzed and vetoed their existence.
An Ruosi couldn't help but feel a trace of despair in her heart.
Can you really take out such a monster yourself?
No...... Or will you be able to survive its attacks?
It's impossible to think about it.
Challenge the supreme spire with the Temple of Truth...... Did you really become arrogant?
However, in the time that An Ruosi hesitated, the professor had completely transformed into a terrifying monster.
In a matter of seconds, the Dome Cathedral was completely parsed by him, and the gray-white data stream disintegrated, and the data stream that had nearly dissolved everything began to cover the ground, reducing some to nothing.
Only the statues of Roland and the Three Saints are not covered by data streams.
But at this moment, An Ruosi noticed that when the rapidly spreading data streams like snakes and ants tried to contact his own body, the gray-purple electric light that burst out of his body could easily shatter them.
This discovery made An Ruosi immediately lift his spirits.
As long as he can actually do damage, he can stop the professor-
But the illusion lasted only for a moment.
When he saw the terrible monster that had risen from the Professor, he immediately realized that his path to defeat was irreversible.
It was a monster similar to the dim yellow prayer behind Rolandβ
Composed entirely of gray-white data streams, it is a huge monster curled up like a baby, faintly flashing with rainbow lights.
Unlike the phantom behind Roland, the professor's phantom emerges from his upper body. If you don't look closely, you might even think that it is a weird person whose brain has expanded hundreds of times, but the body and legs are still the same size as they were original.
"Keeper of Secrets-Graeio345-"
As the Professor's form changed, his voice became more and more distorted and coarse, becoming less like a human voice and more like a poorly modulated electronic synthesizer, with a large number of unrecognizable noises.
The raging gray madness spread around him, and two gray-white halos that shone like nebulae with a rich luster stared at An Ruosi almost without dead ends.
Knock knock!
When he was stared at by that gaze, An Ruosi's heart shook violently, and his body floated silently.
Subconsciously, he evoked a defensive enchantment. However, the chaotic thoughts that rushed out of the depths of his mind interrupted his witchcraft in an instant.
At this moment, a faint yellow glow gradually spread out from the professor's nebula-like silver-gray pupils.
- No, it's bad!
However, by the time An Ruosi realized this, it was already too late.
The next moment, the howling gray wind completely drowned him.
"You say, Grey Storm?"
Roland frowned suspiciously: "Is it inside Elcat?" β
Chrissy smiled wryly and nodded, "Exactly." The inexplicable gray storm divides Elcatel into a number of areas...... I'm guessing that some ancient facility underneath has leaked. β
As she spoke, she looked at Roland's face before continuing: "That gray storm cannot be driven away by either pumping or burning, because I don't know what this gray storm is, and the undead of other factions refuse to pass through the barrier of the storm to come here to attend the meeting. β
"Because of the storm?"
Roland smiled coldly: "Don't be kidding, they just don't want to come." As an undead, how can anyone be afraid of death? Even if they forget the glory of the past, they will not forget that they are actually cursed immortals. β
Chrissy sighed: "I know it too, but ......"
"Nothing, but."
Roland shook his head and stood up with his scepter.
"If they don't come, we'll pass," the silver-gray thorn lines on Roland's forehead slowly shone brightly, "Elcart must be unified." β
That being said...... In fact, in Roland's heart, he has always felt a little uneasy.
As soon as he entered Elcat, Roland immediately discovered something very important.
The so-called Elcat, the God's Forsaken Land, probably does not refer to those false gods......
After entering the closed cover of Elcat, Roland found that his connection with the Three Saints immediately became extremely weak, and if there were, the system panel could not be opened, and even the voice of the closest Sleeping Mentor could not be heard. If it weren't for the scepter as a connection to his mentor, I'm afraid it would have been extremely difficult for him to even use his mentor's magic now.
But why?
Why was the Sage cut off from this land? Why has there been no resurrection of faith in the Holy One until now? Why did the gods stop paying attention to this land, and instead make the people think that it was just a legend?
What exactly are they going to bury? What exactly is buried in this land?
Now Roland can't hear the voice of the mentor, and the effect of the mentor's magic has been reduced by half. The only good news is that the support of his followers is still fully effective.
In other words, now Roland can only rely on himself.
It can be said that this is the first time since he came to this world that he acted completely on his own strength. (To be continued.) )
