Chapter Twenty-Five: Burning
Although they can be used to weaken the strength of the magical civilization in the short term, when the time comes, the mechanical civilization will also run into trouble sooner or later. Not a smart move.
The Old Gods can corrupt more than flesh and blood.
Even machines, land, and even entire planets can be corrupted into their creations.
Luo Zixuan didn't explain that this was an ancient god, but only told them that there might be an extremely terrifying evil hidden in the tunnel, and it must be nip in the bud as soon as possible.
He ordered the priests to assemble their troops, not to be too large in view of the narrowness of the tunnels. It is enough to control the number of people within 10, and try to select veterans with stronger strength and better psychological quality.
Everyone had to bring the first incendiary grenades from the factory, and a few of them had to carry flamethrowers.
Proceed cautiously and incinerate all anomalous creatures to ensure that their flesh and blood are completely incinerated to a deactivated substance.
If possible, he would have wanted to burn these nightmare creations directly to charcoal.
However, this is not realistic.
That would require too much firepower to keep burning.
Just burn them to the point of inactivity, as if ordinary creatures were burned to death, and that's it.
After that, even if they are not buried on the spot, their corpses will automatically and slowly decompose.
Flame has always been an effective means of fighting against many ancient gods.
Ground that has been corrupted to the point of flesh, revealing fangs and eyeballs, can also be purified by washing the floor with flames.
As the power of the Old Gods grows stronger, so does the temperature of the flame required.
Therefore, if you want to fight against the ancient gods for a long time, you must pay attention to the development of scorching technology.
Luo Zixuan's last order to the priests was to wait for the arrival of their new high priest at the designated meeting place after the assembly was completed.
That is, Neil.
The first Divine Chosen Mechanical Upgrader.
Due to the unexpected, it seems that he can't give Neil time to get used to his new mechanical body.
It's not a good thing to have him directly involved in the battle to speed up the process.
When he heard that a mechanical ascender was about to accompany them in battle, the priest was so excited that his fear seemed to have been swept away.
Immediately after that, he thanked the god of machines and hurried to prepare his troops.
Under Luo Zixuan's signs, Neil also left the banquet as soon as possible and arrived at the nezumi mine through the wormhole of the Mechanical Great Temple.
Within half an hour, everything was ready.
Neil will lead the team to the depths of the tunnels to find out what kind of threat the Old God's creations pose here.
He was commanded to annihilate all monsters and the filth they caused.
If it is an ordinary unknown creature, Luo Zixuan will evaluate the threat and expected benefits, and consider whether to order the capture of the research.
However, the creatures of these nightmare gods will never be left alive.
Because, their corrupting abilities are too dangerous.
In this battle, unless the Nightmare God Himself was discovered, Luo Zixuan would not have personally gone into battle.
As long as there are no accidents, his ascender can solve all the problems that are expected to be encountered.
Soon, as Neil opened the way with his mechanical body, the group began to advance deeper into the tunnel.
The corpse of the first Nightmare Creature and the corrupted ground where it died, were burned by the flamethrower.
Soon, the slightly wriggling, terrifying mouth was burned to death along with the flesh and blood on the ground around it, motionless, and gradually scorched black.
In this state, you can actually stop.
It will remain the same for the time being, but over time it will gradually return to its original state.
Not all corrosive effects are reversible.
Carbon-based organisms, for example, are often irreversible.
Once successfully corroded, it is difficult to bring it back to normal.
The tunnel is very deep.
The believers used the lamp barrels on their rifles as illumination, nervously advancing step by step.
Neil's mechanical body gave them a lot of spiritual comfort.
In fact, if Neil were acting alone, he would not need lighting at all. His vision features built-in night vision and thermal imaging.
However, because he needs to act with his teammates, he also turns off his night vision and uses the light on his chest to illuminate a large area.
The whispers in the depths of the tunnel had died down by this point.
However, the creations of the old gods are still here.
These terrifying-looking tentacle creatures would often burst out of the far reaches of the passage and through the forks, wriggling and charging at the crowd. However, they are always hit early by the light, and then killed by bullets and Neil's high-energy alloy longsword.
The ancient gods and creatures here are all quite weak. It can be easily killed. There are also very few species, almost all of them are a series of juvenile tentacle creatures.
The Nightmare God is much more than this weak monster.
If only to this extent, the nezumi can deal with it.
Luo Zixuan watched all this, thinking that this was evidence that the strength of the Nightmare God was still extremely weak.
And in the data of the old universe, the god of nightmares is clearly one of the strongest among the ancient gods.
Soon, as they advanced, the crowd began to enter the area of passage that was attached to the flesh wall.
Since incineration will cause them to burn all around them now, in order to avoid accidental injury, they will be disposed of when exiting this place.
The corruption in this area is extremely high.
The number of nightmare creations has also increased.
However, it still doesn't make a climate.
Occasionally, when they come upon them in swarms, Neil can also instantly cut them in half by strafing particle beams, or blast them to pieces with bursting balls of light.
After that, it only takes one fire grenade from the infantry to burn their corpses.
The flesh attached to the walls of the passage has a burn-resistant property.
This means that when a part of it catches fire, it changes the cellular structure to make the flesh around the flame extremely high.
It cannot be ignited unless the temperature reaches a certain height.
In order to achieve the purpose of controlling the spread of flames.
Otherwise, as long as one part of its body catches fire, it can easily burn the whole thing to the ground.
Since the Nightmare God is still relatively weak, this ability to block burning is not very strong.
Luo Zixuan can modify Neil's body so that he has a flame attack device with a high enough temperature.
However, he had just finished his mechanical ascension, and was still some time away from being able to modify it.
Equipment and components can only be replaced once per session for the Mechanical Upgrader.
Because, this consumes the power of the concept of the god of machines.
Therefore, it should not be used frequently.
There is a more straightforward explanation of the power of concepts.
It's "reality bending".
