Chapter 571 Mechanic
In the basin on the edge of the abyss, Mu You sneaked around to the rear, maintaining his stealth state, and approached the battleship parked in front step by step.
As a result, before he hit the outer barrier this time, a red searchlight suddenly looked in his direction on the bow of the battleship inside the barrier. Under the red light, Mu You's hidden figure was clearly visible. Exposed to the air in vain.
"Discovered invisible unit, identified as: The Fool! Danger assessment: Highly dangerous. Execution of orders: clear, erase, drive away..."
"It really doesn't work..."
Seeing countless cannon muzzles being turned out in front of him in an instant, Mu You sighed, silently retraced his steps, retreated quietly, and quickly retreated into the dense forest.
After confirming that the battleship was anchored in the abyss, Mu You reluctantly circled around to see if there were any areas where the ship's defense was missing.
As it turns out, the sky above seems to be the direction with the weakest defense. Anti-concealment devices are deployed in all other ground directions. Anyone who gets close to a certain range of the hull will be immediately discovered.
A wisp of blue smoke emerged from the oil lamp at his waist, transforming into the figure of a troubadour.
"Is this the legendary mechanical life... It's kind of interesting..." The Djinn touched his chin and looked curiously at the battleship parked in the distance.
"You came out just in time. I was just about to ask, who built these robots?"
Mu You took the opportunity to ask: "Are there any gods like 'God of Machinery' among the gods?"
The Djinn God shook his head: "There is no such authority as the God of Machinery, at least I haven't heard of it... However, I do know a person who may be the 'culprit' in creating these mechanical beings..."
"who?"
"A protoss who calls himself 'Mechanic'."
"An ordinary protoss?" Mu You was stunned. These mechanical life forms were not made by gods?
"Yes, although this guy does not hold any authority, he is a real genius. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius who is rarely seen in a hundred thousand years. His brain is so smart that he is not like a mortal. Many people even doubt that he is It’s not the authority of ‘wisdom’ that has been inherited.”
"What did he do?" Mu You was curious.
"This person's original occupation was a prop master who helped people build equipment, but he has studied props to the extreme and created many powerful armors. His own strength is actually very weak, and he is at the bottom of the entire Protoss. But with these armors, his combat power is even comparable to that of some ordinary gods!" the Deng Shen said with emotion.
"Original armor?" Mu You blurted out.
"Oh, it seems to be called this name..."
The troubadour recalled for a moment, shook his head and said: "In short, with those magical armors, the mechanic was also a famous figure in the past, and he was well-known among the gods. Later, he was invited by many high-ranking gods to participate in the star spirit world. The underlying design, the 'alchemy' now spread in the star spirit world, is actually the virtual life profession he designed based on the mechanical knowledge he has mastered. "
The genie looked at the giant battleship in the distance: "If these mechanical creations were created by that guy, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Because when that guy was alive, he was most passionate about using machinery to create real life. , it’s a pity that no one was lucky enough to see this achievement come out until the destruction of the Protoss... But judging from the current situation, this guy seems to have succeeded, and he really created a 'spiritual' mechanical body."
"The father of alchemy..." Mu You also felt a little emotional after hearing this.
To be able to reach the level of a god with a mortal body, this mechanic is indeed an amazing person.
This also makes Mu You more interested in his original armors. Mortals using these armors can be compared to gods. So with the physique of a god and the assistance of these armors, his strength will definitely be higher. Go up one floor.
It's a pity that these armors seem to have been artificially destroyed, and only some fragments are left. I don't know if they are enough to build a complete armor.
"Do you want to make a wish?" The genie nodded to the mechanical battleship in front of him with his chin and asked Muyou.
"Make a wish..."
Mu You looked at the battleship in the distance.
Now he has only one last free wish left. It's not that you can't make a wish in the future, it's just that if you want to make a wish again, you have to pay the same price.
The wishes that are worthy of his special wish are often the kind of grand wishes that cannot be paid at all, and the wishes that are within the affordable range are often trivial and have little practical effect. It is for this reason that these three free wishes Wishes are so precious.
Of course, it wouldn't be a loss if a wish could directly eliminate the threat of these robots. This is the purpose of wishes. Holding them in your hands until you have no more wishes is a waste.
"Then...use it." Mu You breathed out.
"Okay, this is your freedom, what wish do you want to make?" The genie gathered his power and was ready to perform his power.
"Just promise..."
Mu You said two words, but suddenly paused.
Yes, what do you want to wish for now?
Directly destroy the battleship in front? But what's the use? Battleships are only part of the robot's power. Their real threat comes from Ava, the mastermind in the Garden of Eden, and the nearly ten million Exterminator robots.
Even if all four battleships are destroyed, the threat has not been eliminated.
So, kill robot mastermind Ava?
However, Ava is not a living person, but a data body, a virtual life that can live in any machine. They don't even know where Ava is. Can the power of miracles take effect on this virtual existence? ? Moreover, as long as it is a data life, there is a possibility of backup. Even if the 'master brain' under the Garden of Eden is destroyed, she may be resurrected from other mechanical bodies at any time.
Not to mention, even if the mastermind is instantly killed and these robots are not eliminated, theoretically they will still continue to carry out the original order, which is to eliminate the Fool.
Then make a wish to kill all robots instantly?
Mu You believes that the power of miracles can kill all the robots on the planet in an instant, but these robots have the ability to resurrect. Even if they are killed in one round, they can all be resurrected on the spot in the blink of an eye.
If you want these robots to be unable to be resurrected, you have to make a wish to kill the magic-producing microorganisms in the robots and extinguish their resurrection energy from the source.
However, Mu You dared not grant this wish.
Because these microorganisms are likely to be the source of the magic power of the Star Spirit World. If all these microorganisms are eliminated, will the rules of the Star Spirit World collapse from the source?
There are probably hundreds of millions or even billions of such microorganisms in each robot body. If there are nearly 10 million robots added together, that is definitely an astronomical number.
And the power of miracles is also limited, not to mention whether the ability of the djinn can achieve an instant kill of this order of magnitude. Even if it can be done, because it has to fight against robots, it will collapse the entire star spirit world, and the problem will be even greater. …
After thinking about it, Mu You discovered that he could not find a suitable wish to solve this incident at once.
"What? Isn't it allowed?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the Djinn couldn't help but ask.
"Let's wait..." Mu You smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Even if you really want to make a wish, you have to wait until the situation becomes clear and you have a suitable enough wish.
"Okay, look at you, I can do it anytime." The Djinn said nonchalantly.
Then Mu You didn't waste any time and teleported directly back to Dawn City.
"How's it going?" Seeing Mu You appearing on the teleportation array, the herb collector hurried forward to ask. As a clone, he certainly knew Mu You's purpose of going to the abyss.
"No, no chance." Mu You shook his head and looked around: "Where is this side?"
"We're almost there, about ten minutes left!" said the herb collector.
He was talking about the time of arrival at Rainbow City.
In fact, at this time, everyone could vaguely hear the roar of artillery fire and the roar of monsters from the distance.
After continuing to fly forward for a while, an abandoned ancient city appeared in everyone's sight.
When they got closer, the players saw a scene they would never forget.
In the mirage junction area ahead, three huge steel battleships were arranged in a Z-shaped formation, floating over the ruins of the city.
Around the battleship, densely packed robots formed a phalanx, all raising the cannons on their arms to bombard the thick fog below.
Intense artillery fire bombarded the mirage area below into a death meat grinding ground. In the face of this extremely powerful firepower, mirage crabs and mirage shrimps were constantly having their carapace smashed, and their bodies were shattered as blood and flesh flew everywhere. Until it turns into a puddle of mud on the battlefield.
The robot army is like a mechanical torrent, constantly advancing with absolute discipline and perfect coordination.
Compared with the calmness of the robot army, the giant monster army appears wild and violent. These shrimp soldiers and crab generals seem to have become red-eyed, like a demon emerging from hell, exuding powerful power and a terrifying aura, rushing one after another. charge towards the front line of the battlefield.
Mirage creatures have armor-like skin that protects them from most attacks, and their claws and fangs are designed to tear and devour. The robot's gunfire poured down like a torrential rain, hitting the monster's body and exploding into pieces of sparks. The mirage creatures responded with their powerful physical strength and roars. They rushed towards the robot without fear of death, tearing it with their claws and sweeping it with their tail, tearing the robots into pieces one by one, and then threw them into the mirage.
Overall, it seems that both sides are rapidly reducing their numbers. However, the military strength of both sides seems to be endless and there is no end in sight. From the scene alone, it is impossible to tell the outcome.
What can really judge the situation is the movement of the front.
After all, the mirage creature is the companion creature of the natural disaster beast, and its strength is certainly not weak, but after all, it is an away game, and under such fierce bombing by the robots, it is still losing ground.
At this moment, the edge of the mirage is retreating back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ten sky cities led by the Fool broke into the battlefield under such circumstances.
"Be careful! Mainly focus on interference, try not to leave the mirage range, and drag the robots outside into the mirage if you have the chance..."
Several city lords briefly warned the players in each city and then directly ordered to take action.
For a moment, a dense crowd of players jumped down from the Sky City and started attacking the robot army outside.
Originally, the mirage creature and the robot were fighting back and forth, with the robot having a slight upper hand. However, with the Fool's intervention, the situation suddenly tilted.
Seeing the players swarming up, some unknown mirage creatures instinctively included them in the attack range and tried to attack the players.
However, they all stopped their movements when they were about to attack, refocused on the robots outside, and ignored the players.
Mu You estimated that this should be the instructions conveyed by the mirage tapir. The mirage tapir can see the scene in the mirage, and perhaps it feels that they are here to help, so it temporarily acquiesces to join forces with them.
This makes the players feel a lot more relaxed, and they can safely focus on the robots outside.
Attacking these robots can also gain experience, and there is no need to kill them completely. Even if they are resurrected immediately after death, the players can still get the experience they deserve.
In addition, with the current dense battle line, any attack thrown out can hit a target, and the leveling efficiency is no worse than that of the dungeon, which makes the players quite surprised.
Because the dungeon at least has a limit on the number of times and time, but here, they can fire unlimitedly!
After a while of fighting, many players quickly fell in love with the feeling of increasing experience.
In addition, in order to motivate the players, several city lords specially jointly issued the city lord task: each person can get ten points of Fool reputation for each successful paralysis of a mecha, and the group of players with the highest number of kills in each city can also get the opportunity to serve in major important positions in Sky City.
Under the double incentive, the players no longer have any scruples, and they are more decisive and hardworking.
In this tragic exchange of fire, time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.
Even if the players have good physical strength after a day of fighting, they are exhausted and have to go back to change shifts reluctantly.
At this time, a new group of players have arrived at the battlefield one after another to fill their positions.
The next morning, Mu You and several city lords gathered again and held an emergency meeting, mainly to count the results and casualties of yesterday's battle.
"There are no casualties. The players are very smart. They usually hide behind the mirage creatures, let them act as vanguards to resist damage, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack."
"Even if there are unlucky people who die multiple times, the experience deducted is not as good as the experience gained. Overall, it is profitable, otherwise the players would not be so willing to fight on the front line." Jiuyou explained while looking at the data in his hand.
"What about the damage to the robots?" Tianzi asked.
"After a day of fierce fighting yesterday, we captured more than 73,000 mechas in total. It seems a large number, but compared to the number of the robot army, it is still a tiny part, and it has not shaken their foundation at all." Jiuyou said.
"What about the front line? How much has it advanced?"
"This is the biggest problem. In one day, the edge of the mirage has only advanced about 3,000 meters forward. At the current speed, it will take at least four months to push the mirage boundary to the Great Abyss!" Jiuyou said solemnly.
"So long?" Everyone frowned when they heard it.
This time is much longer than they thought. They originally expected to push the front line in one or two days. It seems that they thought too much.
Of course, the mechanical army is probably more anxious than them now. They originally wanted to drive the mirage creatures out of the Star Spirit Realm, but not only did they fail to drive them back, but the mirage was still spreading towards the Great Abyss.
You must know that every meter of the mirage boundary is equivalent to one meter closer to death for the robot.
So the situation on the surface is still in the hands of the fools.
However, the problem is that they can't afford to delay. The nine black holes on the earth are still alive. The giants in the sky may discover the remnants of these black holes at any time and then invade. They must fly the sky city to the sky and block these black holes before that.
No one can say how long this deadline is. It depends on luck, but it will definitely not be as long as four months.
"Boss, someone is looking for you..."
When Mu You was thinking about a solution at the meeting, Xiaoya suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered.
"Oh? Who's looking for me?" Mu You glanced at Xiao Ya and saw her pointing to the door, so he motioned to everyone, left his seat temporarily, and followed her out of the meeting room.
Outside the meeting room, there was indeed a familiar figure waiting for him.
"Katerina? What's wrong?" Mu You looked at the woman in front of him.
The person at the door was another vampire who had passed through the City of Enoch with him before, the Death Speaker Katerina.
"Last night, I saw your future again in my dream!" Katerina said solemnly.
