Tybols, the tree of the firmament.

The spiral-shaped wooden pillar surrounds the dry bird's nest in the center, forming a beautiful and mysterious pattern, and the golden flame in the brazier at the top is like a star, guarding the figure of the Apostle of Heaven.

In the warm, dry orange nest, Prey squinted his eyes, gathered four pairs of cyan wings, and sat in the center of the nest with fluffy feathers - it looked like a large stuffed animal.

Due to the constant need to be on the lookout for a surprise attack by Isis, Prey not only could not leave Tybols, but also had to be on guard for a long time, so he spent most of the day in this state.

“......”

Suddenly, the Heavenly Apostle seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

On the canopy of twinkling stars.

Suddenly, there was a low hum, and clear vibrations extended from far and near, from all directions, causing an indescribable feeling to emerge in his heart. It was as if I had witnessed some indescribable force tearing through space, as if it was about to break the barrier of space and forcibly descend on this world.

"Karn? no...... Something different, could it be him!?"

The Heavenly Apostle's eyes widened suddenly, and a strange wave appeared in his bright cyan pupils for a moment.

As if suddenly, the canopy of Tebols suddenly darkened, and everyone could see a faint circle of light gathering from all directions, which seemed to be slow, but in fact it was very fast, and a clear trail of light appeared on the canopy where it passed—those arcs of different thicknesses intertwined with each other, and then instantly assembled into a mystical symbol.

These mystical symbols of light are connected to each other to form gear-shaped rings, neatly arranged in layers, each with a different texture inside the ring, and finally woven into a barrier of light that covers the sky.

The sight was so spectacular that the winged people of Tebos were so dazzled that some even forgot they were flying.

“......”

In Prey's eyes, between the many rings of the barrier of light, there are arcs of lines that are too faint to be seen.

The lines resemble white trails that radiate from the center of the circle and extend outward in the shape of lightning until they reach the outermost ring. Drawn by these lines, the gear-shaped rings of magnificence slowly rotated, each rotating at a different speed, and the entire celestial dome seemed to disintegrate into countless rotating rings from the inside out.

"Is that you!?"

The Heavenly Apostle suddenly rose into the air, turning into a cyan linear beam of light and shooting towards the Heavenly Dome, spanning a distance of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

To others, this scene was a cyan beam of light, rising straight from the top of the Sky Tree, and shooting straight towards the center of the Light Barrier with a "buzz".

Wherever the beam passed, the air was instantly warmed into a flame-like plasma state, and layers of outward churning and spreading outward, making most of the sky seem to be burning violently.

Boom ——!

The moment he approached the barrier of light, Prey turned upside down, then twisted his waist, and crossed his right leg in a shining arc—like a giant axe that opened the world, slashing into the center of the circle with the three-ring mark.

This split took advantage of the trend, completely integrated the inertia of the impact into the right leg, and the moment it swept out, a dark and deep spatial rift spread along the trajectory of Prey's movement.

Buzz——!

The whole world seemed to fall in half in an instant, and a slender black line bloomed from the surface of the barrier of light.

In an instant, the entire heavenly dome seemed to be turned into a shattered mirror, and countless pitch-black cracks stretched from the center of the ring to the end of the horizon invisible to the naked eye. Immediately afterward, the cracked canopy disintegrated into countless fragments, like glass slag with sharp edges, falling from the sky with a clatter.

However, this is just the beginning.

The next moment when the spatial crack opened, the big split that Pray twisted his body also hit the center of the circle of the barrier of light.

Rumble——!

The entire star of Tybols vibrates, and a dazzling cyan light rises from the center of the collision.

In the next moment, the cyan light spread, and the entire Tebols Star was left with only a pure cyan color, and the cyan flames were like a tsunami, spreading across the entire sky. The barrier of light then made a clear cracking sound, as if some invisible barrier had been broken, revealing what was hidden within.

It was a figure in a dark blue mechanical combat suit—he stood in the depths of the shattered ring, like a demon god from another time and space, peering at the creatures of Tebols.

"Sure enough, it's you, at first I thought it was Karn...... It's unbelievable. ”

While the Apostle of Heaven sighed, he did not hesitate at all, and the four pairs of wings suddenly spread outward, slapping the void and rising a terrifying explosive force.

Whoosh——!

In the blink of an eye, his figure turned into a cyan comet, rising from the bottom up, slamming into the figure, pushing him straight out of Tybols' atmosphere.

Collapse Collapse ——!!

With a continuous cracking sound, the space cracked layer by layer—following the trajectory of the two figures, it spread from the high altitude of the Tybols Star to the interstellar space, forming a straight void corridor.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Ivan pressed against the comet transformed by Prey with one hand, and kept retreating, but his expression was relaxed and calm, and he didn't seem to be struggling.

The next moment when he left Tebols and arrived in space.

Buzz——!

With his left hand holding the comet as the center, a brilliant burning circle of light suddenly rotated and opened, directly resisting the momentum of the Heavenly Apostle, colliding with the cyan comet and rubbing it into a flying burst of light.

“......”

At this moment, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Apostle, and it suddenly accelerated to the point of close to teleportation, and in an instant, it staggered with Evan's figure.

And just as the two figures parted, Prey opened his mouth and let out a silent roar, and the beautiful feathers on his tail scattered like fireworks.

Sneer——!

In less than a ten-thousandth of a second, those cyan feathers accelerated to infinitely close to the speed of light, with Evan's figure as the center, enveloping a huge spherical outline;

Boom ——!

The cyan shock wave burst out, drowning space within thousands of kilometers in diameter in an instant, like a blue star, slowly expanding in the dark blue universe.

“......”

At the center of the explosion, Prey's figure had stopped at this time, and he silently stared at the figure opposite, his eyes surging with surprise and shock.

In the vision of the Heavenly Apostle—Ivan clenched his hands into fists, crossed in front of him, and between his fingers, the feathers he shot out were caught there one by one.

“......”

Evan slowly lowered his arms, looked at Prey in the distance, and asked in a spirit fluctuating manner:

"How's it going? Who is better now, me or Karn?"

"Now you ...... Only one line weaker than me in my heyday. Karn is better than you...... But if I want to take you down, I'm afraid it's a thousand-day battle. Prey replied earnestly.

"It seems that I am still overestimating myself. ”

Evan sighed, threw the feather in his hand, and returned it to Pree on the other side: "I thought that with my unprecedented deep accumulation, once the advanced apostle would immediately surpass Karn. ”

"In fact, you miscalculated the increase in the power of the apostles. The Apostle of Heaven shook his head and patiently explained:

"You've just become an apostle, have you? Do you think that the power of the apostle is to strengthen the power in all aspects? In fact, it is not, the real effect of the power of the apostle is to broaden your potential. With your current strength, once you have fully developed all your potential, you may indeed be able to surpass Karn. ”

"But I can't make progress now, whether it's a magic spell or mixed martial arts, all of them have been practiced to the extreme, how can I tap my potential?" Ivan sighed helplessly again.

"Do you think you're Casillas? yes, you've exhausted your combat potential...... But you are not the conqueror, you are the maker!"

Prey's voice echoed in the vacuum, as if he was sighing, as if he was scolding:

"The Maker was able to become the leader of the Far Eastern Alliance not because of how powerful you are, but because you have a large mechanical legion. Now that you're able to mass-produce inheritance-level mechanical gods, right? If you use the Giant Beam, you can even increase them to a strength close to that of an immortal...... With this power, as long as you have enough time, you can even become the king of the universe!"

"It's not that exaggerated, but it makes sense. ”

Ivan raised his left hand and slowly clenched it into a fist, golden electricity overflowing from his fingers: "As long as I have a legion of a thousand-strong inheritance-level mechanical legion, I have the confidence to consume Karn...... But it takes a long time. Converting a Level 4 Mechanical Lifeform into a Legacy Mechanical Lifeform is very expensive...... If you want a large legion of inheritance-level mechs, you may need to wait about 10 years. ”

"In other words, in 10 years, will we be able to attack the Kashny Federation in full force?" asked Prey excitedly.

"No...... It could take fifty years or more. ”

"Why the delay for so long!?" the Heavenly Apostle suddenly became a little agitated.

"Because I still have a plan...... A plan that will ensure that we are foolproof......"

Evan let go of his left fist, slowly put it to his side, and said calmly:

"A strong enemy like Karn and Herder cannot be underestimated...... Even if my mechanical legion theoretically kills Karn. But if Herder is by his side, he can transfer our legion to the edge of the universe at any time and completely disintegrate our combat power. Therefore, conventional combat power is of little significance...... What if the Far Eastern Alliance overwhelmed the Federation? Is my enemy a human being? Our enemy has never been the Kashny Federation, but Herder and Karn! Once the two of them abandon the Kashny Federation and continue to play sneak attack attrition, the Far Eastern Alliance will also be consumed alive. ”

"I almost get it...... The plan you have in mind is one that can completely overwhelm Karn?" Prey keenly captured something.

"It's too early to say that. Ivan knew very well in his heart that there were some things that could not be explained in too much detail even in front of his allies, so he interrupted the conversation.

"Don't worry, I'll just forget all this you said to me today. ”

"Thank you very much, then...... I left first. ”

With that, the void behind Ivan shattered like water, and then swirled and collapsed inward, dragging his figure into it and disappearing.

One by one, one by one

White Moon, Central Laboratory.

Ivan emerged from the shattered space, walked up to the supercomputer, and used his authority to retrieve all the information about the Divine Source Machine from it.

The battle with Prey just now was not only to test his current strength, but also to announce the birth of another super powerful apostle to the entire galaxy civilization.

Although it was a slight deviation from Ivan's speculation, his current strength was enough to ensure that he would not be killed by anyone, only a slight weaker than Karn, without the obvious weakness of Prey, and with a large mechanical army, it seemed that there was nothing in the universe that could threaten him anymore.

Unless...... Prey in the all-win period and Karn in the all-win period.

It is a pity that these two apostles are now on the same page, and there is no possibility of union.

And now Ivan has a different mindset – he used to be defensive and now he is offensive.

It's not Herder who wants to get rid of him now, it's him who wants to get rid of Herder and Karn!

But as the attacking side, Ivan is not strong enough, and although Prey says that he will become the king of the universe sooner or later, it is just a friendly compliment. He knew very well in his heart that no matter how large the mechanical legion was, it would not be able to threaten Herder and Karn...... If they join forces, even if they can't defeat the mechanical legion, no one will be able to stop them if they want to leave.

Because of this, Evan had to use his creator's talent to build a Divine Source Machine for himself that could defeat Karn.

In fact, for this day, he can be said to have been planning for a long time.

As early as the founding of the Far Eastern Alliance, Evan used the method of opening the Tree of Wisdom and the King's Book to obtain a large amount of high-end technology from his allies. Although it was mutually beneficial, and all the forces were happy, it was obvious that he had gained more benefits.

After all, there is only one maker.

Today, Evan has the dragon god technology of the dragon clan, the smelting technology of the invisible world, the energy technology of the Taltans, the rune technology of the ancient menes, the gem technology of the Aesir civilization, and the divine source technology of the ancient Terra civilization.

With the talent of the creators, it is only a matter of time before these technologies are integrated...... At that time, Evan will be confident that he will launch a new generation of Divine Source Machine!

That would be the strongest mecha that would be overwhelming!

“......”

In front of the screen of the supercomputer, Evan looked at the concept design of the new generation of Shenyuan Machine, and his eyes flashed over the figures of Karn and Herder for a moment:

"The Galactic Civilization will continue to prosper under my rule, and I will turn the Galactic Civilization into the most prosperous and happiest place in the entire universe. All the apostles will assist me, and together we will build the ideal world...... And here, there is no such thing as you!"
