36. The Book of Ravens

"swish"

A handful of chopped scallions are thrown into a large pot full of fragrance.

While the milky white soup was tumbling, Ganata, who was standing on the chair, licked her lips while holding a large spoon, stirring back and forth the "bone soup" that she had always been obsessed with.

The big villain Merlin stole Muto's bones from her, which made Lord Glutton very angry.

But now, I can finally make soup with some other nutritious bones.

Her upturned nose twitched, sniffing the strong fragrance emanating from the two-person-high cauldron in front of her, she swallowed, and a trace of expectation flashed in her purple eyes.

Then he grabbed a handful of chopped peppers and threw them into the pot.

To be a gourmet who enjoys food, one must also be an excellent cook!

Ganata doesn't want to fall into the bad situation where her father eats everything in the future, she is a girl

Girls should be more elegant and more decent.

"It's a pity that the skull of the Steppenwolf was taken away by Merlin."

Master Taotie curled her lips, she said regretfully:

"Stealing my bones again, but for the sake of the barbecue just finished, I forgive you."

"Hey, that robot! Come here and help me stir the soup."

Ganata stood on the chair and shouted arrogantly to a high-level omnic who was busy.

The latter obediently stood up, walked to Ganata's side, took the spoon from Lord Taotie's hand, and obediently stirred the terrible thick soup for Ganata.

As a distinguished guest of Mechanicus, Ganata cooks soup in a house outside the Mechanic Temple.

No one dared to accuse this purple-eyed girl of offending the God of Myriad Chances

Those who dared to accuse her had been eaten by dipping in hot sauce.

Eat it in the true sense.

Those hard steels are like chocolate in Ganata's mouth.

In addition, Ms. Icarus asked all omnics to treat Ganata with courtesy, so the originally aggrieved omnics soon thought that this gluttonous big eater no longer existed.

Out of sight is pure.

Robots also have a desire to survive.

"A lot of bones!"

Ganata sauntered out of the room and walked into a warehouse next to her.

This place was originally used to store war-damaged mechanical bodies, ready to be rebuilt, but now it has become a place where the purple-eyed girl stores ingredients.

In that warehouse, there are many huge white bones piled up, and the flesh and blood on each bone has been eaten clean.

A delicious and nutritious barbecue has appeased Ganata's restless stomach, and Tun ate a heavenly father, even though it was only the projection of the power of the heavenly father, it also made the purple-eyed girl's fullness reach 4.7% Degree.

After boiling all these bones in front of her into soup and eating them, her fullness will definitely reach more than 5%!

So happy!

Ganata looked at her ingredients, rubbed her still flat abdomen, and a sense of happiness that she had never had before filled her heart.

She has never eaten so full since she was born!

"Merlin is a great man."

While flicking her hair, Ganata thought of:

"I heard that several other hell lords have also broken through the heavenly father one after another. Maybe it's time to provoke Merlin and ask him to fight another heavenly father. I can help too."

"Ah, the taste of Heavenly Father is really great! I really want to eat it, I can't think about it anymore, I'm hungry again."

"Getting hungry where's my soup?"

"Is the soup ready?"

—

"Snapped"

A cleaned skull was placed on the table. Merlin raised his head and saw that the glasses girl was holding the weird helmet of the Steppenwolf, as if she was going to put it away.

"Xuanlan said that you haven't had any new collections in your storage room for a long time."

The glasses girl said to Merlin:

"I'm going to send this thing over as a proof of your mighty force."

"No need."

Merlin shook his head and said:

"I didn't defeat that new protoss, what came here was just his power projection, which is not a victory, but this kind of metal from a special world is quite interesting."

"Give that helmet and the collected armor to Lorna, she might be able to make something interesting."

Lord Raven reached out and picked up the skull in front of him.

He looked into the eye sockets of that kind of people, and said:

"This thing is the most valuable. Speaking of which, after the war, has the battlefield been cleaned up?"

"certainly."

The glasses girl put the heavy helmet in her hand aside, pushed her eyes, and said to Merlin as if reporting work:

"The number of omnics damaged in battle has reached as many as 9 legions, but we have enough machine reserves. In a week at most, 45 legions will be fully replenished."

"What's worse is that this battle exposed a problem that the Mechanicus needs to pay attention to. The machine souls stored in the Horcruxes will lose their 'vitality' with continuous reincarnation."

Icarus frowned and said:

"Those soul fragments contained in the machine soul will perish, turning them back into a pure data state, and because too much emotional data that cannot be encoded is mixed, those souls can no longer be rewritten."

"As long as their data is broken again, it will become completely garbled. According to the current situation, an omnic warrior will be reincarnated 13 times at most, and will completely enter the state of being on the verge of being scrapped."

"I plan to build a special data shrine, and upload those souls who can no longer continue to reincarnate into it. They have paid a second life for the Mechanic God, and they should have a pretty good ending."

Merlin nodded and said:

"A mechanical version of Valhalla? The final residence of the soul of the data, used to carry the heroic spirits born after the war."

"Very good idea, this can also become part of your teachings."

"Um."

Icarus nodded, and she said:

"My idea is that this will also become one of the cards of Mechanicus."

"Those souls that have experienced the most brutal battles can be awakened again when necessary. Although they can only serve the God of Myriad Machines for the last time, their combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than ordinary omnics. .”

"Those turbulent emotions should not belong to the strong emotions of robots, making them more like living souls."

The glasses girl flicked her long blue hair, and she said:

"Same soul as me, same soul as you."

"Since it has been proved that the mechanical legion is worthy of a battle, let's continue."

Merlin leaned on his chin with both hands, and said:

"Before the first real battle of hell faced by the wasteland begins, more combat omnics will be produced, as well as the first series of god creations, those war machines."

"Have all the demon-like corpses been burned?"

Merlin asked another question.

The glasses girl nodded, and she said:

"Those creatures have undergone very special and cruel transformations, their physical potential has been squeezed out, and such things as souls do not seem to exist in their savage bodies."

"Their wills have been distorted into a form that only knows destruction. Those angels with broken wings told me that this kind of soul cannot be cut and used."

"They are like the residue that was swallowed and chewed by the world's malice and then spit out. There is no possibility that they can be used again. I asked my compatriots to pile them up and burn them. Those ashes were also scattered into the river Styx."

"Um."

Merlin nodded, and he took out a large thick-covered book in the style of Kama Taj from his desk.

He said to Icarus:

"The closed ultimate mother box is temporarily left there. When I am ready, I will extract the cosmic force in it. After the ceremony is completed, the mother box can be studied by you."

"Those special technologies, especially the sonic boom technology that can form a teleportation rift in a resonant space, are very important to Mechanicus."

"I'll do it."

The glasses girl said something to Merlin, and then left the throne room with other things.

After Icarus left, Merlin took a deep breath, and opened the dark red tome with a metal-embellished cover and chains wrapped around it.

There was nothing on it.

is a completely blank book.

This was made by Merlin himself, and it was his own magic tome. It was completed after he consulted Agamotto, one of the first supreme mages of Emperor Weishan.

It is naturally impossible for such a book to record those ordinary magic.

In fact, this was the second weapon Merlin made for himself besides Judas.

"It can carry a certain amount of cosmic power and serve as a container for temporary storage, but you still need to continue searching for items that store cosmic power."

In Merlin's hand, the voice of Tiger Hoggs came from the book of Visandi spread out.

The big tiger lazily said to Merlin:

"You have to collect enough original power to ignite the melting pot of the universe, and this power is beyond your current use. You must have more knowledge before you can master the original power of the universe."

"I know, you've said it many times."

Merlin responded casually.

He picked up the skull left by the Steppenwolf, and let the surging power of vanity wrap the skull.

The light was like some kind of creature was gnawing on food, and the skull was quickly decomposed amidst the crackling sound, like the sound of ants moving.

Merlin threw the orange ball of light on his finger into the ink bottle at hand, then picked up the pen made of angel feathers, dipped it in the ink bottle, and began to write lines of text on the blank page.

His handwriting is beautiful.

It's like the cursive script written by those ancient wizards.

Soon a page was filled.

The orange light in the ink bottle has also disappeared to the point of being barely visible.

Before Merlin's eyes, the words on the pages of the book shone with a special luster, and when Merlin's fingers touched those words, he could faintly hear the roar of the Steppenwolf.

"finished."

Lord Raven put down the pen in his hand in satisfaction.

"You are recording a magic that has never existed before. Did you create it yourself?"

The voice of the big tiger Hoggs sounded again. Obviously, this idle demon god has been watching the actions of his "disciple".

It curiously asked:

"This magic looks a bit strange. It doesn't conform to the structure of traditional spells. There is no handle and no mana model. What is it for?"

"Simulate and then use to strengthen me."

Merlin picked up his magic tome, his fingers brushed over the spell, and he whispered a word.

"Σkληpνaη! (brute force!)"

"swish"

When the spell was uttered, orange light spots shone on the magic tome, and quickly covered Merlin's body. Accompanied by strange noises, Merlin's body quickly became stronger.

With his muscles stretching, he quickly turned into a 4-meter-tall man.

He moved his ten fingers, sensing the terrifying power lingering in his body, he said:

"Simulate the power of the Steppenwolf. Because of the addition of 'special materials', this simulation can double the magic power without loss and enhance the simulation effect."

"Look, I have a second combat form besides the caster."

"I am now both a mage and a warrior."

"swish"

He waved his hand to dissipate the magic power, and his huge body quickly retracted, returning to the appearance of the elegant spellcaster before.

He closed the book in his hand, and said to the book of Emperor Weishan beside him:

"The form of Emperor Weishan inspired me, maybe I also make my own 'Book of Emperor Weishan'."

"Odin told me that it is difficult to reach the top with impure power, which I very much agree with."

Lord Raven stroked the book in his hand, and said softly:

"But there is no rule that I can't collect those powers and use them as weapons. What do you think of my idea?"

Facing Merlin's inquiry, the big tiger Hoggs couldn't lift his spirits and said:

"not so good."

"When Agamotto made the Book of Emperor Weissant, he found spirit bodies like me and Oshutu to prop up the core of the Book of Weissandi. You want to make a similar magic book, at least in this universe. , but there are not many existences that can meet your requirements."

"Oh, oh, look at what you said."

Merlin chuckled and explained:

"I'm not greedy, how can I make a perfect finished product like you all at once."

"I'm easy to be satisfied, as long as there is a downgraded version of Weishandi's book, I will be very satisfied."

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he said:

"As for who to find to be the core of this book, I have already chosen."

"Then what are you going to call it?"

Big Tiger Hoggs asked:

"Although I don't have much contact with you, I already know that your fetish is hopeless. You always like to name your own things, and your taste is so bad."

"I guess you'd call it 'The Book of Merlin'?"

"No no no."

Lord Raven casually tied the thick dark red tome on the belt of his robe, patted it, and said:

"I'm going to call it 'Dark Weishandi', don't show that sarcastic expression, I'm just joking."

"Just call it 'The Book of Ravens'."

The King of Vainglory hovered in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass in the Throne Hall. He stroked the tome at his waist with his left hand, and swung his right hand lightly. Amid the buzzing of the sharp blade, the long sword Judas jumped into his hand.

The sword seems to have become a little more radiant after drinking the blood of a heavenly father.

But maybe it's an illusion, it still looks ugly.

"The way of the future"

Merlin let go of the long sword in his hand, allowing it to spin around him for two weeks, and then hovered quietly by Merlin's hand again. After drinking the blood of the Steppenwolf, it became much more obedient.

This gave the Maharaja a contented and relaxed smile as he watched the pale sunset of Wasteland Hell, sliding his fingers along the blade like he was stroking a cat.

He said softly:

"Just go on like this until the end."
