White Moon, Core Laboratory.

A faint red light illuminates every inch of the space, a barrier of light that completely isolates the laboratory from the outside world. The door to the outside world was also completely closed at this time, leaving no dead corners or gaps, and rows of heavily armed mechanical warriors stood outside the door.

In the center of the laboratory, dozens of supercomputers are neatly arranged, and these black obelisk-shaped computers are like dozens of large electronic alarm clocks, and at the same time emit dense and high-pitched noise.

On the screens of that computer, a large amount of data was rapidly swiping through the pages, indicating that they were engaged in quite complex calculations.

All the data was finally summed up on an oval-shaped silver-gray mastermind, and a pink-haired girl who looked to be less than twenty years old stood in front of the mastermind, her beautiful and delicate face always maintaining a cold and mechanical expression. Looking at the screen with a solemn expression, ten white and slender fingers quickly clicked on the screen, and countless pictures continued to switch with the smart fingers.

Behind the girl stood a mechanical pyramid, about five meters high, which stood like a fusion of ice and machinery, with rows of transistors connected to the surface. Through the translucent blue-black crystal outer wall, a half-human, half-mechanical black-haired young man can be seen, sitting upright on a silver seat in the center of the pyramid.

Dozens of long, glowing pipes stretched out from under the metal base of the seat, connecting the various parts of his body. Those tubes are like an additional nervous system extending from the body, connected to the supercomputer in the laboratory, where data is being exchanged.

This pair of men and women who can be alone in the core laboratory are naturally artificial intelligence Xiaoxi and Evan.

At this time, Xiao Xi was using the computing power of the entire White Moon to check the abnormal condition of the mechanical body for Evan and try to find the most effective way to help him speed up his recovery from injuries.

“......”

Evan sat quietly inside the mechanical pyramid, his eyes closed, immersed in a meditative state of information exchange.

The huge apostle's energy runs in his body, making every cell in his body active, actively releasing information signals and injecting them into transistor circuits, turning the entire White Moon into a part of his body, looking for the cause of the long-lasting pain from the level of cells and neutron mechanical protozoa.

Buzz——!

Suddenly, all the supercomputers vibrated and a red warning symbol lit up on the screen.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xi sighed and shook his head, silently took a step back, and turned to look at the mechanical pyramid. At the same time, the mechanical pyramid was neatly split in half, arching the seats in the core position, and the transistors embedded in Ivan's back were all detached in an instant.

“......”

Evan opened his eyes, reached out to cover his right chest, which was aching faintly, and turned his gaze to Xiao Xi:

"The results of my test are in, it is the neutron mechanical protozoa that has overloaded its evolution, broken through the limits it should not reach, and finally caused the rate of destruction to be greater than the rate of regeneration. So the mechanical protozoa must borrow my power to restore itself...... This caused my strength to continue to wear down, but in the short term, I would definitely be dragged down by the pain in my body. ”

"The test results on my side are the same. Xiao Xi shook his head, his eyes were slightly dark, and he said in a solemn tone:

"When the master and the twelve apostles fused with each other and incarnated into the primordial darkness, the neutron mechanical protozoa in your body must have been based on that body and forcibly evolved to the level of the creator's body. However, its foundation is not enough, and it should have entered the stage of self-destruction in the next moment of evolution. ”

"But you, master, are too strong, strong enough to slow it down to self-destruct...... In other words, your pain is not your own, but the long-term wear and tear caused by the self-destruction of the neutron mechanical protozoa. All the pain you feel is the pain of the neutron mechanical protozoa – and worse, the process is irreversible because they have become a part of your body. ”

After listening to her words, Evan raised his left hand silently, looked at the lines in his palm, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "The root of everything is the lack of neutron mechanical protozoa...... Does that mean that as long as I can obtain the Balance Gem and the Transcendence Gem, I can heal my injuries completely?"

"It's hard to say. ”

Xiao Xi stepped into the base of the pyramid, knelt down and snuggled up to him, and gently held his left hand:

"According to the original design plan, the neutron mechanical protozoa obtained two other gems, and they evolved to the stage of the ultimate body, which could reach the level of the pseudo-seventh order. But the body of the Creator is obviously stronger than the seventh-order machine, that is...... The neutron mechanical protozoa exceeds its maximum limit. Such a result is fatal for you, even if you get the other two gems, it will only reduce the loss and extend the life, and it is almost impossible to completely cure it. ”

"Is it inevitable to die?"

Evan raised his head, looked at the ceiling of the laboratory, and after a moment of silence, suddenly laughed, "So what? Is death terrible?"

As he spoke, he took Xiao Xi's hand and clenched her cold palm, and his gaze became extremely superb in an instant, like the cold light reflected by the blade:

"On the blood-covered surface of the moon, the Lord of Light told me in dreams and prophecies that the only end of rebellion was death, and outside the millennial city of the Land of Light, Eddizok claimed to be the black sky that devoured everything, and wanted me to be the sun for the last day. In the Temple of Eternity, which overcomes all time and space, Caroso claims that he is the embodiment of all things, declaring that the Creator belongs to the invincible law.

"Now they have nothing to say, for I am the only one who has come to the end! Even Herder and Karn dare to disobey me before me, and they fear me as much as the power of nature that can bring thunder, lightning, and death. If only irresistible fate can defeat me, then I accept this ending calmly. ”

Xiao Xi felt the temperature of his palm, pillowed his head on his knees, closed his eyes, and his long pink hair fell down his shoulders to the ground: "Yes, you are a great maker...... The eternal ruler of the mechanical empire. ”

"Before it's all over. Evan gently stroked her long silky hair, and his gaze gradually softened:

"The last thing I want to do is to subdue the Immortals of the Arad Continent. I'm going to turn them from blades that threaten the Empire to swords and shields that protect them...... Make sure that my son Fischman can continue to continue the hegemony of the Empire. ”

The star of Hebolen, the mirror gallery on the periphery of the royal court.

This passage, which only receives VIPs, now stands four discordant figures.

They are Asura Kidan, Nicole the Shadow Dancer, Jada the Divine Thinker, and Butch the Battle Mage by the way.

"I say, is there some conspiracy in the Machine Empire, how did we surrender so easily?" asked Keidan cautiously, lowering his voice.

"Maybe they don't want to continue pestering us, right?" replied Jada the Divine Thinker in the same low voice, "After all, the territory of the Machine Empire is too big, and we can't clean it up, and suppressing it will only deplete the national strength. ”

"......" The Dark Elf girl didn't speak, but just made a silent gesture, reminding them to be careful that the wall had ears.

Butch, the battle mage, didn't take this matter to heart at all, and spun around heartlessly, as if he was admiring the layout of the Mirror Gallery.

At the entrance of the Hall of Mirrors, the exquisitely carved columns resemble giant trees of white marble, neatly arranged on the left and right, and all the places that can be painted are covered with murals. Layers of mercury mirror windows are embedded in the dome, reflecting the scene of the corridor into a dense and countless mirrors.

The red-haired girl looked out of the side window of the corridor, and in the cracks in the clouds, on the edges of the orange-yellow clouds lined with the sun, the sunlight shone through the window like an unfolded folding fan—its misty shadow was reflected in the surface of the corridor floor without brilliance.

"Boutique!" she admired it obsessively for a moment, and then said with admiration: "I really didn't expect that there would be an awesome palace on this planet that can be called a steel fortress!"

"Have you forgotten the ruins on the Heavenly Veil Behemoth?" said Keidan first rhetorically, and then said hatefully, "The environment there is no worse than here, but it's a pity that everything is gone." ”

"Shhhh

"You've been waiting for a long time, please come with me. ”

At this moment, a polite and subtle female voice suddenly reached the ears of the four people, making them look sideways.

Under the gaze of the adventurer, a tall woman appeared in front of her, she had a crisp short burgundy hair, a wide-brimmed military hat, and a well-tailored black military uniform, all of which looked shrewd and capable, and her indifferent gaze and neat steps exuded a military temperament.

"My name is Renee, please come with me. ”

......

Renee leads the adventurers through arches and neat corridors, and the space ahead is becoming more and more open, and the court structure of the Menes Empire gives them a unique experience.

The brilliantly lit arched stone gate and the continuous colonnade seem to lead to the unknowable other.

The adventurers followed the adjutant step by step, and soon saw the throne at the end of the colonnade—a large seamless stone slab covering the ground, a flat and wide red carpet leading to the temple, and a large sun throne at the end of the neat silver lampposts.

On the Golden Throne, a handsome young man wearing a wing-patterned costume with short black hair cast his gaze, and after his eyes staggered, a majestic voice rippled out from the main hall: "You are the warriors of the Arad Continent, right? I have been following you for a long time, and I am still very surprised to meet today...... You're unexpectedly young. ”

Battle Mage Butch looked up at him, his red eyes revealing a thick curiosity, looked at him for a while, and said in surprise: "He is the king of the Machine Empire, the tyrant who ordered the destruction of the Arad continent, why is he so young?"

"Okay, don't say any more. The Thinker stepped forward and covered her mouth, forcing her to silence.

"Your Majesty. The Dark Elf Maiden bowed politely, and then explained softly, "This companion of mine has always been savage, and does not know how to be polite, please forgive her for her outrageous behavior." ”

"Woooooo

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to be restrained. Evan clapped his hands slightly, and the four seats suddenly rose to the ground, just leaning behind them: "Please take a seat." ”

After thanking the four of them, they all sat down with a weak heart, and Jada the Divine Thinker, fearing that Butch would be in trouble, forcibly covered her mouth and made her sit in his arms.

"Rennie has already explained to me your intentions. ”

Evan looked at the crowd and crossed their faces one by one: "Are you fed up with the pursuit of the Mechanical Legion and want to live a normal life by joining the Mechanical Empire?"

"Exactly. Jada hurriedly responded.

"So do you know why the Machine Empire is chasing you?" Ivan asked, smiling.

"This ......" The Divine Thinker's expression froze, and he said with a forced smile, "Of course, it is because we have caused trouble in the occupied area of your army and disrupted Your Majesty's military deployment. ”

"That's a good point. Ivan bowed his head happily, and then said seriously: "You know why the Machine Empire is chasing you, and on the other hand, I also know why you are causing trouble. You think I'm destroying the continent of Arad, you think I'm a tyrant, you think my army is an accomplice - I can understand that. ”
