Chapter 171 Destruction Descends, Nanjiang City in Peril
"That's...?!"
Sensing the terrifying aura of the Destroyer Machine God, Qin Nantian turned his head and his expression changed slightly.
Opposite them was a mechanical creation resembling Unit-01, its entire body a deep blue, its face twisted and torn, as if laughing, emitting a sharp mechanical sound.
"You felt it, didn't you? The terror of that machine god."
"That is our ultimate weapon, the Destroyer Machine God!"
"Its strength is infinitely close to the quasi-king level. As long as it devours the souls of a million more people, it can transform and evolve into a true quasi-king! Then, after destroying a few more cities and devouring the souls of ten million people, it will gain the abyss's recognition and blessing, and it will truly reach the king level!"
The ninth-order mechanical lifeform emitted a crazed and triumphant sound.
"Can you imagine a king-level mechanical creation made entirely by human labor?"
"Madman." Qin Nantian cursed under his breath, unleashing a thunderous slash that tore through a thousand meters of earth!
next second.
The ninth-tier mechanical lifeform, its arm severed, burst forth from the lightning, laughing maniacally as it lunged at Qin Nantian.
"I just need to hold you off; don't even think about going to help!"
"Get out of my way!"
……
Lu Beili was in the same situation, being relentlessly entangled by the Abyss Believers.
They could only watch helplessly as the Destroyer Machine God flew out of the barrier.
He looked solemnly at the seven-colored barrier at the mountaintop.
"Is it not over yet?"
……
"Let's go back quickly."
"Bei Mingxue shouted."
Turning his head, he found that Jiang Yuan had not moved, but instead placed his hand on the giant mechanical gate, seemingly lost in thought.
Bei Mingxue asked in confusion, "What are you doing? If we don't hurry, that thing will destroy the entire city."
"Although I don't want to involve you, that thing is beyond our current fighting strength; we need your help..."
Bei Mingxue hadn't finished speaking.
Jiang Yuan spoke.
"I see."
"Commander of the North, could you give me a little time?"
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling brass light burst forth from Jiang Yuan's body.
"Boom!"
The massive mechanical gate, hundreds of meters high, trembled violently, and parts as large as houses began to disintegrate, fall off, and float in the air.
Under Bei Mingxue's astonished gaze.
The limbs and broken parts of tens of thousands of mechanical creations scattered across the earth were shattered into countless tiny mechanical parts, which gathered together and transformed into silvery-white rivers that flew towards this place.
"This, this is..."
Even though Bei Mingxue knew nothing about mechanics, she could still sense the joy and spirituality emanating from the machine before her, as if it were undergoing some kind of wondrous transformation.
"Northern Commander!"
Jun Jing and the others shouted towards Bei Mingxue from a distance.
The black-robed mage tore open the teleportation scroll, and a huge teleportation array appeared beneath him.
Jiang Yuan looked at Bei Mingxue.
"You go ahead, I'll be there soon."
Bei Mingxue nodded slightly.
Watching her disappear from the teleportation array.
Jiang Yuan said, "Xiao Hei, calculate the arrival time of the Destroyer Machine God in Nanjiang City."
[Calculating... Roughly estimated to take thirty seconds]
"Thirty seconds... I'm afraid they can't hold out for long, there's no time left."
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and used the flight effect of the Wind God's Blessing to float to an extremely high altitude.
His eyes emitted a strange rainbow light, and he seemed to enter an incredibly magical calculation state, with the phantom of the brass clock reappearing behind him.
[Supreme Analysis] + [Mechanical Overlord]
He intends to use this mechanical gate and the abundant mechanical materials to create a mechanical construct powerful enough to fight against that Destroyer Machine God!
The boy stretched out his hand downwards, as if proclaiming a judgment like a god:
"Decomposition, begin!"
"Bang!"
The mechanical giant gate shattered instantly, breaking into countless small cubes that floated across the entire area.
[Calculation begins...]
[Simulated Creation]
[Analysis and Reproduction]
[Input energy loop...]
Hundreds of millions of small cubes converge towards the center.
Streams of energy formed rings that enveloped the entire area.
From the outside, it looks like a giant, luminous egg.
It seems something is being conceived...
…………
the other side.
[Soul... Energy...]
The Destroyer Machine God spewed steam as it flew high in the sky, its gaze fixed on the distant Nanjiang City, spanning dozens of miles.
The large remaining population of Nanjiang City is precisely the energy source it desperately needs.
Found it...
Before it even got close.
The detection devices on the city wall of Nanjiang City detected the approaching terrifying energy entity and activated a danger alarm.
[Alarm, alarm, alarm...]
The alert level has reached the highest level, red, indicating a potential city-wide annihilation!
"A city-destroying disaster?!"
"You're lying..."
"What's wrong now?"
"Where is the enemy?"
"Look up in the west! Something's flying in!"
Amidst the astonished and horrified gazes of tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city.
The massive body of the Destroyer Machine God appeared on the horizon and flew towards this place at an astonishing speed.
Qin Longyao, clad in silver armor, gripped a halberd, her expression extremely solemn.
Now that Commander Bai Tu is not here, she, as the deputy commander, can only take charge of the overall situation.
With her hair tied in a high ponytail, she took a deep breath and issued commands in a voice that resounded through the sky.
"Activate the magical barrier!"
"The enemy is a mechanical construct. Disable all intelligent AI and switch to manual control!"
"Electromagnetic interference protection system activated!"
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
The moment the barrier opened.
Two beams of destructive lasers shot out from the eyes of the Destruction Machine God, cutting straight across the barrier and shattering the seventh-tier barrier that could withstand the onslaught of the ferocious beast horde!
"What?!" Qin Longyao's eyes widened.
The Destroyer Machine God unleashed its spiral electromagnetic cannon once more.
"boom!!"
The emerald green electromagnetic cannon slammed into the city wall with terrifying destructive power.
"Bang--!!!"
The massive explosion swept in all directions, and a mushroom cloud shot into the sky. Many soldiers were melted by the intense heat of the explosion before they could even react, while soldiers in the distance screamed as they were blown away.
With just one strike, a huge breach was blasted into the steel wall, which was hundreds of meters high, and the defense line completely collapsed!
"This is a ninth-order mechanical creation..."
"So strong..."
Qin Longyao, who narrowly escaped the center of the explosion, was still shaken, her beautiful yet spirited face pale.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The Destroyer hovered in the air, its eyes flashing green light, and its electromagnetic field spread out, enveloping the entire city wall.
Before the thousands of soldiers defending the city could react, their bodies began to float uncontrollably.
then……
Countless fine green rays, as thin as hair, shot out from the Destroyer Machine God, piercing the hearts of all the defending soldiers.
In an instant.
The eyes of a thousand people were shrouded in gloom, and lives were taken away.
The armor on the chest of the Destroyer God opened, emitting a terrifying suction force that forcibly pulled out the pale blue souls of a thousand people.
This scene caused Qin Longyao and his subordinates' pupils to tremble.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
"boom!"
A barrage of magical attacks, gunfire, and sword strikes flew towards the Destruction Machine God in the air, but were blocked by the electromagnetic barrier before they could get close.
Looking at that day, the Destroyer Machine God turned its head to look.
A young soldier guarding the city dropped his longsword, involuntarily taking two steps back, his face filled with shock and fear.
"This... this thing... how are we supposed to deal with it?!"
"How are we supposed to fight like this?!"
next second.
Another destructive laser swept across.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions intertwined, spreading for several kilometers, with flames shooting into the sky.
The people in the city watched the explosion soar into the sky.
"What is it now?!"
"What happened outside the city?!"
"Could it be another beast tide?!"
"Please, the curse isn't over yet, we're all dying, can't we just have a couple of peaceful days?"
……
Qin Longyao pushed aside the rubble and climbed out of the ruins, blood streaming from her forehead.
The city walls of Nanjiang have completely fallen, reduced to ruins, and countless people have died or been injured.
In her somewhat desperate gaze, the Destroyer Mech, now replenished with energy, flew over the city walls and headed towards the city center.
"Who will come...?"
"Someone stop it! We can't let it continue..." Qin Longyao clutched her injured arm and staggered forward.
Sudden.
In her vision, the terrifying Destroyer Machine God's body paused, then crashed heavily to the ground as if suppressed by a mountain.
"Bang!"
The smoke and dust cleared.
Bei Mingxue and the others appeared in front of the Destroyer Machine God, each standing on the top of a building.
【Forbidden air】
A female superhuman wearing a black cloak lowered her hand and gasped for breath.
"Everyone, we must stop it now."
"Well done," Bei Mingxue said, no longer hiding her talent.
[SS-Rank Talent - Gravity Control]!
"boom!"
An immense gravitational force pressed down on the Destroyer Machine God, causing it to sink instantly, its hands pressing firmly against the ground.
A burly swordsman with short red hair swooped down and flashed in front of the Destroyer Machine God, thrusting his sword, which was flashing with a dazzling light, toward its core.
"when!"
A green barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking the attack.
The burly swordsman's hands were numb from the shock.
Just as the steam engine behind the Destroyer Machine God was starting up and it was about to stand up from the ground, two eighth-tier mages in the team attacked at the same time.
【Death Swamp】
【Absolute Freeze Flash】
The ground beneath the Destroyer Mech God transformed into a death swamp that devoured everything, trapping it within. Simultaneously, its body was rapidly frozen, instantly turning into an iceberg.
But it didn't last two seconds.
"Boom!!"
The engine roared violently, and terrifying heat emanated from the Destroyer Machine God's body. Its surface was covered in red light, and the frozen parts melted instantly.
"Buzz—"
A terrifying electromagnetic wave spread out, blasting everyone away, causing their bodies to surge with electricity and enter a state of paralysis.
Taking advantage of the moment, the Destruction Machine God broke free from gravity, raised its hand towards Bei Mingxue, and released a decomposition beam capable of disintegrating everything.
"Whoosh!!"
At the critical moment.
Her pendant lit up, and a mirror shaped like the moon appeared in front of her, blocking the disintegrating beam and reflecting it back.
A large circular hole appeared on the Destroyer Machine God's body instantly, but it regenerated and recovered within a few seconds.
The Destroyer Machine God stared at Bei Mingxue, and in its field of vision, it saw a terrifyingly tall humanoid phantom standing behind Bei Mingxue.
[Danger, danger, extreme danger...]
The Destroyer shifted its gaze and chose to first slaughter in the city to collect energy.
It looked like it was about to fly away.
Still shaken, Bei Mingxue no longer hesitated.
A black sphere condensed in her palm, which she tossed into the air. It locked onto the God of Destruction and released a terrifying suction force, preventing the God of Destruction from flying away.
Unable to fly away, the Destroyer opened the armor on its back and shoulders, and countless missiles and lasers shot out, flying overwhelmingly towards all parts of the city in front of Bei Mingxue and the others' shrinking pupils.
…………
the other side.
The stars fall at the foot of the mountain.
Inside the giant, luminous egg.
Jiang Yuan hovered in the air, his black hair fluttering, and countless formulas and graphs dancing deep within his eyes, which shimmered with iridescent light. His mental energy was being consumed at an astonishing rate of hundreds of points per second, supporting his calculations, creations, and control over the smallest details.
Countless small cubes and gears converged towards the center like a torrent, gradually forming a huge humanoid creation and a slender humanoid figure.
"Not yet, it'll be a while longer..."
"hurry up……"
