Inside the huge dark red ball of light, the mechanical red dragon with wings on its back was quietly suspended in the center of the galaxy, with a cold and hard glow flowing on its body, and its dark golden eye holes were like an abyss. It is new, yet ancient, like an ancient demon god sealed in the depths of the galaxy. It seems that just by touching its skin, it will open its eyes and let out a roar into the world that has been silent for thousands of years.

"I'm coming!"

Evan silently operated the Holy Book of the Underworld, then bent his knees and jumped on the spot, his figure turning into a purple-black meteor that pierced the sky, and in an instant, he disappeared into the huge dark red ball of light.

As he entered, the inside of the originally calm and constant ball of light suddenly surged, and a purple-black light projected from the sapphire above the Dark King's head. It was like a thin, sharp blade that cut a dark red ball of light from the inside out in an instant.

The ball of light, which had been split in half, turned into a red fire and spun around, sprinkling snow-like sparks and gradually building up a swirling red glow. Through the gap in the center, everyone could see the Sky Dragon Apus raising his head and aiming the sapphire set in the top of his head at the flying Evan.

Under the gaze of Karenz and Eru Lome, a purple-black ball of light enveloped Evan, pulling him into the sapphire above the head of the Shenyuan Machine in the blink of an eye, turning into a point of light rippling on the surface of the azure crystal. At this moment, the red glow in the sky seemed to be a drop of dew on the surface of the water, and the scene shrouded in the glow rippled layer after layer, and finally the entire whirlpool quickly disappeared.

One by one, one by one

When Ivan came to his senses, he found himself sitting on a pitch-black throne embedded in the bulkhead. It is surrounded by a spherical space crisscrossed by metal pipes, and from the internal structure, it is very similar to the cockpit of Ugart, the Lord of Light.

"It's amazing that you have the power of light and darkness at the same time...... No wonder there is the breath of Ugarte, and he can still be my driver. A low, deep, majestic male voice came from the space in all directions.

"You're the Dark Lord Apus?" Ivan immediately deduced the owner of the voice.

"That's right, I'm Aps, and unlike that guy in Ugart, I've not had a driver for a long, long time. It's been so long ago that I have no memory of the previous driver...... So I must remind you that I do not have King Amun's power essence in my body as a buffer. Driving with your strength will not be life-threatening, but it will definitely be accompanied by great pain, have you figured it out?"

"Don't worry, as long as there is no fear for my life, it will not be a problem for me. Evan was very calm at the moment, after all, the pain caused by driving the Dark Lord was nothing compared to the heavy price of driving the Evil King.

"As a person with the divine power of the fourth-level Hades, I like the strange aura on your body, which reminds me of a vibrant forest. For the first time ever, it was like a plant's thirst for water and nutrients...... Ugarte must be very close to you. ”

"Pretty much. Ivan replied with some embarrassment.

"So...... I'm not going to let you down!"

With the sound of Apus suddenly rising, there was a whisper of "click" from the cockpit, and the icy gas was sprayed out from all directions, showing an eerie dark blue, and Ivan felt as if he was immersed in ice water. In the process, the pitch-black metal throne quickly rose upward, and the spherical space densely covered with metal pit lines lit up with blazing purple light.

In the thick light, the hideous black throne suddenly unfolded completely, disintegrating from the bottom up into an obelisk-shaped metal pillar that clung to Evan's back and pushed him to his feet. Then the metal floor in front of him collapsed downward, forming a cylindrical space about two meters in diameter, and a 3.5-meter-tall pitch-black armor climbed from under the floor to Ivan in front of him.

The outline of this armor is very blurred, and the lines are extremely rough, not so much a full-body armor as an unpolished blank.

Just when Ivan looked at the armor and was confused, Aps's voice came again:

"I am different from Ugarte, and if you want to be one with me, you must put on the armor of the nerves, so that you and my spirits are connected to each other. But don't worry, as long as you put on my armor, you can directly reach the state of man-machine integration. ”

"I understand, hurry up. Ivan urged impatiently.

Click——!

Before long, the blank of the armor began to tremble violently, and a golden liquid that looked like molten steel continued to overflow from the cracks of the armor. The drips in the cockpit are like rain falling into the ground, and they will soon disappear deep into the bulkhead.

The entire armor immediately took on a deep black metallic sheen, and the helmet was formed first. The sleek, heavy-duty shield occupies the front half of the helmet, with only a V-shaped eyehole between the eyes, and darkness in the gap. The second half of the arc is embedded with bolt holes, which are demarcated by the ears, and there is no gap in the front and back splicing.

This was followed by spiked shoulder armor, followed by iris-shaped chest armor, arm armor, knee pads, skirt armor, ...... Combat boots.

The shoulder armor on both sides is shaped with spikes and inlaid with metal nuts in the shape of willow nails. All the parts, including the breastplate, skirt armor, gauntlets, and leg armor, are tightly combined and extended by more than 70 pieces of metal to form this 3.5-meter-high pitch-black armor.

Then the armor disintegrated in front of Ivan and gradually covered his body, and the moment the mask fit his face, the world was plunged into darkness. Then he heard the sound of metal snapping, bolts tightening, and felt like his body was being stuffed into a container.

呲——!

At the moment when the armor was fully clothed and formed, the 'bolts' that spread all over the armor collapsed inward at the same time, and slender spikes extended from the bottom end, piercing into the skin and quickly connecting with the neural network.

In the process, Ivan felt a great pain that far exceeded the fire burning, but it was still within his reach. Therefore neither struggle nor shout, like a general who goes out on an expedition and waits for his own soldiers to clothe himself.

"Very good, you have an iron will, and the process of integration with me will be very smooth!" came from Aps's complimenting voice.

The next moment, Ivan fell into absolute darkness, some kind of powerful consciousness flooded into his body, and all kinds of abstract images flashed in his mind...... He saw the faint and flickering mechanical giant trees, the infinitely approaching sky and sea, the desolate graveyard of countless mecha remains, and the mechanical gears embedded in the air.

These familiar scenes flashed through his consciousness one by one, and finally froze the mechanical throne of lightning and lightning.

At this moment, Ivan's consciousness was instantly pulled back into the real world, and it was magnified many times. He felt that he was one with some kind of consciousness, dominating a massive body with infinite power.

“......”

“......”

Eru Lome and Karenz clearly noticed the change, and in the dark golden pupils of the mechanical red dragon, there seemed to be another pair of majestic eyes slowly opening.

One by one, one by one

Sky Dragon Apus was suspended in mid-air, hovering and stretching, leaning over to look at the two of them, his pupils casting a playful light. Then he raised his slender neck sharply, and let out a long roar from the sky: the majestic dragon's roar rolled like thunder, spreading in all directions, shaking the whole wilderness slightly.

With this low roar, the dark red mechanical dragon's body burst into a powerful thunderbolt, and the sparks of its massive body flashed and the bearings spun. The lines of his body disintegrated and reorganized in an instant, transforming from a slender dragon to a giant of light with wings spread on his back.

The electric light that wrapped around the surface of the Dark Lord Apus gradually dissipated, and its true form was gradually revealed, and the extreme beauty and hideousness stood side by side on the cold metal body. Its ruby pupils burned with a black-purple mist, silver lines outlining a cold countenance, covered in a layer of dragon-shaped visor, and a pair of large dragon wing-shaped crowns behind the helmet.

The sturdy body is matched with the arms of a giant ape, the elbows extend sharp sharp corners, and the ten fingers are sharp meniscus. The chest is covered with three layers of overlapping armor: the inner layer is made up of scaly-shaped armor plates, the middle layer is connected by six smooth armor pieces end to end, and the outermost layer coincides in the center like the sharp teeth of a demon dragon.

Thick diamond-shaped shoulder armor covered part of the arm guards, while the ventral armor consisted of seven streamlined overlapping carapaces, connected to the breastplate at the top and four skirt armor at the bottom. From the thighs downwards, the armor is integrated, the dragon claw-shaped knee pads protrude outward, and the bottom of the boots is densely covered with neat barbs.

The surface of the armor transformed by the Sky Dragon Scale Armor is so integrated that there is not a trace of joint seams - the joints of the hands, feet, and knees also have an exquisite joint structure.

"You, you, you...... Did you see it? Did you see it? A dragon that was so long just now, and now suddenly it was human......" Kalenz stammered with a pair of eyes that almost bulged out of his sockets.

"It's unbelievable...... How did he do it?" Elulome was also frightened when she saw this scene, and as she spoke, her eyes stared at Apus without blinking, as if she wanted to seam this scene into the depths of her soul.

......

Ivan looked down at his hands, which were a pair of mechanical claws that reflected a chilling light, as if they could tear through everything in their path at any moment. He tried to stretch his wings, and he seemed to feel them when the crimson dragon wings flapped into the air.

This was a deeper feeling than when he drove the Lord of Light before, and he felt that the Divine Source Machine was completely integrated into his flesh and blood, or his soul was completely integrated into the Divine Source Machine. If the experience of piloting the Lord of Light is like commanding an arm, then the experience of piloting the Lord of Darkness is completely integrated - a thought bursts at his fingertips, and the mechanical body will act accordingly.

The Sky Dragon is him, and he is the Sky Dragon.

When piloting the Lord of Light, it took a long time to practice before he could perform the Dragon Kill Punch, but now as long as he gets used to this Divine Source Machine, he can use all of his special moves immediately.

“...... This is another form of the Dark Lord Apus, and I have just operated this Divine Source Machine, and I can switch between the two forms at will. It seems that the process of integration has been a little painful, and it is not entirely without benefits. ”

Ivan kept trying to touch his body with his hands, feeling the feedback from the divine source body, and his thoughts quickly became clear: "The operation mode of the Lord of Light can reach my current state after a period of running-in, but I don't know if it has a second form. ”

"Of course there is. ”

The voice of Aps, the Lord of Darkness, suddenly sounded in his head, as if he were talking to himself as if he were talking to himself due to the merging of consciousness:

"The gods of Menes are usually one, multifaceted, and Ugarth, like me, is divided into animal and human forms. The difference is that I can maintain the beast form for a long time, while its beast form is an explosive killing move, and the explosive power of that moment is ...... Tut-tut, it can be said to destroy the world!"

"You're right, I'd love to see it in its beastly form!"

After being reminded of it, Evan immediately recalled that the first time he piloted the Lord of Light, he seemed to have turned into a golden mechanical giant bird in a trance. Resembling a fiery phoenix, the mechanical giant bird is shrouded in molten golden flames, soaring and swimming in the endless void.

Then he noticed that Aps seemed to be very talkative, not as cold as Ugarth, and tried to ask:

"If you can, can you tell me something about the gods?"

"Forgive me, I'm actually a virtual personality that doesn't exist in itself. And before this virtual personality was formed, I had been drifting in the endless void, knowing nothing about the situation of the gods except for some instinctive common sense. Ugarte is in a similar situation to me, but he is lucky enough to store many generations of memories of the Sun King...... You must have read those memories a long time ago, right?"

"I did look through it, but the key memories were encrypted and I couldn't understand it at all. Ivan replied frustratedly.

"You just have to keep growing and get them sooner or later. Apus told him confidently.

One by one, one by one

While communicating with the Lord of Darkness, Ivan was constantly adjusting to the Divine Body, and after three minutes he felt extremely tired, just like driving the Lord of Light.

"It's the limit...... Let's separate for a moment. ”

"See you later. ”

After a brief farewell, a magnificent purple-black flame flashed from the depths of the dark lord's eyes, and he let out a deafening roar. The sky suddenly turned red, and a piercing buzz swept through the heavens and the earth, and the red vortex once again opened in the depths of the sky, revealing a bronze door engraved with holy script runes.

Evan's figure descended from the sky, and the Lord of Darkness turned into a streamer of light and galloped upward, disappearing into the bronze door in an instant.

Puff ——!

After smashing into a deep pit on the ground, he patted the dust and walked up to Eru Romei and Karenz, with a long-lost look of relief on his face: "Now that we have three Divine Source Machines, we have the conditions for victory, go back and prepare for the arrival of the plague." ”
