The capital of the goblin race, Hardenfell.

Although it started out as a simple home for goblins, in the past two years, the city of scholars with the most cutting-edge magic technology has replaced its original meaning.

In order to facilitate the mixing of various ethnic groups, the iron-gray style has gradually been replaced by more new and brightly colored buildings over time.

And in the nature park, which has the largest number of students of different races, Rick is walking with an old friend in a scenic park.

"Rick, you're a genius!"

As a representative of the goblin species and a master of magic technology, Ronnie now has a pivotal position, whether it is used for research or handling government affairs, every second is very precious.

But in his opinion, it was clearly more important to talk to Rick in front of him than anything else.

Even putting aside the other party's identity as a representative of the human race and the comradeship of that year, in the past contact, Ronnie also understood that Rick was a genius who transcended the limitations of his race and was in no way inferior to his own.

"Implanting magic technology directly into the body, and even replacing certain organs, can not only allow the goblin species to get rid of the disadvantage of not having the ability to cast spells without the spirit costume, but also has many better functions, and most importantly, its threshold has been lowered a lot, even other races can obtain stronger power through such transformation!"

Although there are almost no crimes that can be realized in this world due to the invisible rules, as a remnant of the Great War, the development of magic and the warlike use of magic technology are still preserved.

And with the tacit approval of one god, this kind of research is also a hot trend today.

With such a smooth accomplishment, it is not difficult to understand that Ronnie would be so happy.

“…… It's good if you're happy."

But in the face of this compliment, Rick could only respond with a sneer.

Sadly, he first came up with this idea just to help his companions who were inconvenient in the war, but he didn't expect that the goblin species would be out of control in this regard because of their own qualities that could be regarded as ores.

Although this incident is very gratifying, Rick still feels a little panicked when he sees that some goblin species have taken the initiative to forge their original bodies into cold machines, perhaps because of the sensibility brought by flesh and blood.

"You're obviously a human, but you're even more old-fashioned than those forest elves"

Ronnie saw the strangeness in Rick's eyes, and shook his head with some regret, "Obviously, with your perception of the machine soul and your spirit costume, you may be able to become a stronger character than me and that-eared." ”

"I hope so."

Speaking of this, Rick's expression became even more strange.

After witnessing the end of the world become part of the forging material, animism rose to prominence among the goblins, who already relied on sensibility and intuition as their skills.

Many goblin species believe in the existence of mechs, which must be properly pacified in order to forge further and work normally.

Although Rick was initially skeptical about the ability to create souls in mechanical structures, perhaps he did have a talent for it.

In the cold gears, the levers, the pistons, he did feel an unusual inspiration in them, and when he mingled and prayed with that inspiration, every part, construction, and its principle suddenly became clear.

It's as if it's already in my heart, and I can get familiar with it as soon as I get started.

As a child, Rick was familiar with the feeling of playing against Tetu who no one but himself could observe.

It was not so much a feeling of the so-called machine spirit, but more like a connection with the concept of some kind of god.

However, when he conveyed this to the Jikai seed as a matter of whether this was a harbinger of the revival of the god species, he only received a reply that he did not need to pay attention to.

"That's a pity, but it's okay, the way you combine magic technology and magic in your current combat style is indeed varied and flexible, and such a transformation may also be a constraint on your future."

Ronnie didn't mind it.

The game realm created by Rick's spirit suit allows him to form a completely different fighting style by changing different equipment and magic, and can make appropriate countermeasures against any enemy he encounters.

This kind of particularity is indeed not comparable to the current immature transformation.

"After all, the original intention of the goblin transformation is also because we can't use the magic, so we will do this in order to better listen to the will of the God of All Machines, and most of the other people who join the Cult of the Mechanical God also have this idea."

After blending the spirit costume with magic, although the results are remarkable, it is impossible not to have any dissent.

The benefits of magic technology are visible to the naked eye, but the question of whether to dominate the magic or the spirit costume is still a topic of debate that is bound to be the subject of debate at every council.

With both Void Zero Plus and Marrow Blasting showing great abilities, Hinko and Ronnie have gradually gained different supporters among each race, after all, not everyone can combine the spirit suit and the magic system at the same time like Rick.

And in order to bring people of different races together, the organization of sects was born.

When God does exist, this phenomenon is almost inevitable, just as during the Great War, although most races resented the recklessness of the gods, they wanted their own race to receive divine grace.

And in order to avoid unnecessary controversy, Ronnie also directly decided on the belief of the Mechanicus.

"—The God of All Machines is above"

The god of forging is the creator of the goblin race, but its influence is very limited among other races, so Ronnie gave the revered god such a name.

As the leader who personally created many of the unactivated Divine Essence and used it as a material, Ronnie has always been cautious even with the permission of the Imperial Council.

The gods and spirits are all referred to by concepts, so after putting aside the concepts, the other people who can be called by the name of a specific god will naturally only refer to the one god.

The god of all machines is the side of the emperor, and in this way, not only can it prevent the birth of the relevant god species, but it can also be recognized by all races, and after reporting, it can be officially approved by the organization.

This idea has always made Ronnie smug, and if it weren't for the fact that Xinke quickly followed suit, and would have been launched by another imperial incarnation that would be in line with the spirit of the forest elite race, the Lord of Pleasure, who would have explored the mysteries of pleasure and beauty, I am afraid that his happiness would not have diminished until today.

However, after Azriel of the Celestial Wing began to use the same method, and took the initiative to attribute the God of War to the incarnation's command, Ronnie was relieved, and instead focused on the operation of the Cult of the Mechanics, for which he often threw an olive branch to Rick, but was simply rejected each time.

It's not that Rick really doesn't have any interest in these things, whether it's the god of all machines or the lord of pleasure, they all have their own strengths in magic and spiritual clothing, but Rick is a rather nostalgic guy.

Tetu, the god of the game who is half of his body, is his companion, friend, and most sincere faith.

In addition, his loyalty will not be sacrificed to other incarnations of the race because of these conveniences.

For human beings, the only person who can be called a god is the emperor who frees them from their predicament and gives them hope and light.

"Praise the Emperor—"

Rick silently thought in his heart, and in a trance, the feeling of being connected to the machine spirit seemed to follow him again.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Rick's anomaly, Ronnie's electronic eyes flickered and he looked over with concern.

"Nothing ......"

After carefully confirming his body with the power of the spirit costume, Rick, who found that there was no abnormality, shook his head in confusion and continued to discuss the idea of magic technology with Ronnie.

The feeling just now should be just an illusion, right?

————

"Can this kind of thing be done by only relying on the power of the star cup to travel through the universe?"

Hearing this abnormal idea, Gypril also looked confused.

This situation is very rare for a girl who is killed by the dragon spirit in a sentence in seconds, but still thinks that it is not impossible to slay the dragon alone.

From the realm of planets and continents to the one god and universe, the span is still a little higher for the current Gypril.

"Of course it can be done."

Roland withdrew his gaze from the glittering star cup and smiled slightly.

"Before you explain this, what do you think is the essence of the Star Cup?"

"Uh......-huh," Gypril frowned.

Even if she had witnessed Roland use the Star Cup up close, her perception of the Star Cup was limited to its power to change the world in a single thought.

"If you have to make an analogy, maybe it's the controller of this world?"

"That's true, but it's just a description of what it does." Roland shrugged.

"The essence of the star cup is the essence of the gods."

"Divine essence...... Huh? ”

Gypril nodded, then froze.

"How is that possible! The power of the Star Cup is definitely not something that the Divine Essence can describe! It's obviously a treasure that can only be born from the elven cloister if it penetrates the star core. ”

"I thought so at the beginning, the treasure containing the power of the universe, this should be the truth of the Star Cup, but although it was just a coincidence at first, after I obtained the Star Cup, began to rule in the name of the Emperor, and faith gradually spread, I discovered its possibility."

"The universe has added a little more mass than usual, and although this is insignificant, this anomaly is enough to say something."

Roland's face was full of playful smiles,

"Later experiments allowed me to confirm this."

"I see, is this the reason why you let the title of God of All Machines exist?"

The essence of the gods will increase the degree of activation due to the increase of beliefs, and even connect with more concepts, and this feedback is the best ironclad proof.

But Gypril was still a little puzzled.

"The emperor is just that, but can those sectarian beliefs that are just side pronouns have the same effect?"

"I was skeptical at first," Roland said meaningfully, "but the effect is exactly the same, no matter what the aspect, mechanical, magical, combat, I can get feedback, even if the scope of these concepts is not deeply related to me at all." ”

"What kind of essence does it take to do this kind of thing......

Gypril looked dazed, racking her brain to think about the power of the Star Cup and Roland's previous words.

Before she could finish her words, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her pretty face froze.

Because the answer is actually very simple, Xingbei has already answered with its own functions.

"- All-knowing and all-powerful, the star cup is the essence of 'all-knowing and all-powerful'."

"It's a Gibriel," Roland chuckled, "and because of that, its relationship with the Elven Corridor has been determined. ”

When Roland first arrived in the world of Game Life, he was puzzled by the entangled relationship between the Elven Corridor and the Star Cup, and now he has confirmed the answer.

The Elven Corridor is formed by the power that overflows from the Star Cup.

Then, the Elven Corridor gradually evolved into the entire universe, and because of this, the Divine Essence and the Divine Spirit Species were born, and the Star Cup gained control of this world.

Therefore, in this universe born of itself, the star cup is omniscient and omnipotent, but once it leaves Disbode and goes to other universes, its own power will not be affected, but it will not be able to reproduce this omnipotence.

From this point of view, it would not be enough to say that the power of the Star Cup is limited to the cosmic level, after all, if the Star Cup is really broken, although the number is not infinite, it can still add a lot of new sources to the sea of the world.

It's just that those universes are just like dragon spirits, as proof of the wreckage of the gods that once existed, and they can't be used by Roland at all, and even lose the possibility of Dispard itself.

It is true that the potential of the Star Cup is not limited to one universe, but now it has the power of only one universe.

This overly lofty and sprawling concept can't be activated, and then it produces its own personality, but the nature of the concept still makes the star cup eager to grow.

It would be nice to create Disbod in such a way that the water overflows, but this way of accumulating is too long, and it is a win-win solution to allow better beings to use this first pot of gold and bring the other universes into their control.

That's why the Star Cup chooses its own agent with the strongest conditions, and has gradually stretched out its tentacles towards other universes.

"So, Gybriel, during the time I'm out, I'll leave the matter to you and Hughby."

"Anyway, this is also an important matter of acting as God's duty, so you might as well use a serious expression, this kind of persuasion is at least a little higher."

"I'm very serious, I was thinking about it yesterday with Huby, and this decision was made after careful consideration."

"Thinking in bed can't be called thoughtful at all!"

Gybril couldn't help but complain, even though she was usually off-line, she still felt a little tired when she saw the god who ruled the fate of all beings in the universe so lazy.

"That's how trust can be demonstrated," Roland explained with confidence.

"What I ask for is more trust than ability."

"Hmm......"

In the face of such words, Rao is a sharp-toothed Gybril, and he can't say a reason to refuse.

The girl's eyebrows were a little happy, her pretty face was slightly red, and she muttered.

"I really can't help you, don't use this reason next time, it's like letting me back down from the temptation of other universes before."

"I promised you to see the infinite scenery, and I will not break my word."

Roland whispered.

His voice was not loud, but it gave those who heard it an incredible sense of peace.

"It's just that before I can do it, I have to look at the cause and effect that I don't know before, and where it will lead my fate, and I can only do it."

The barrier of the void is no longer an obstacle, and the edge of the slashing emperor is also ready to attack.

If there is still a fate and cause and effect that interfere with everything in the universe, it is time to get the answer.

Roland withdrew his gaze from afar, stretched out his hand, held the dazzling sun wheel in the sky in the palm of his hand, and looked at the silver ring on his fingertips, his eyes were deep.

"After all, this is my future."
