Under the shroud of the metal canopy, there seemed to be endless arsenals, research laboratories, surface defense units, etc. spread over every inch of land.
However, due to the loss of the core, 80% of the areas in this metal world have stopped functioning, and only a few basic buildings are still running.
The development of the entire planet has stalled.
At this moment.
Across the sky, even this metal world is wrapped in the long river of time, and there are subtle ripples in one section of the river.
In the ripples of the long river of time, the outline of the mighty silver dragon's body emerged, turning from virtual to real.
Galleons suspended in the sky.
He looked up at the metal canopy covering the sky, and then looked down at the familiar metal surface. At the same time, he took a deep breath. The air in this world still had a strange smell due to the tiny metal particles that were diffused everywhere.
Transported through time.
Garen accurately arrived at the place where the Artifact Heart was placed.
Mechanical pillars rise from the ground one after another, forming a dense and ferocious pitch black metal forest. The most important mechanical pillar stands directly in the sky, connecting the metal sky curtain and the surface.
"Wow, is this the Mechanical Star?"
Yuna's voice sounded directly in the air next to her.
The powerful dragon girl came over with Garen.
However, Yuna habitually deployed the light twisting field, not wanting to expose herself to the eyes of other creatures.
"The entire planet seems to have turned into a metal structure. Even the rivers flowing on the surface are made of molten steel. This is the first time I have seen this kind of main material world."
After noticing the strange situation of the mechanical star.
Yuna's figure gradually emerged from the air, looking at the surrounding environment curiously.
At the same time, she saw the fragmented and devastated surface.
The traces of the battle where Garon led the alien gods have not completely faded away. This is because after the core of the Mechanical God was taken away, the efficiency of repairing the damage to the Mechanical Star was reduced to freezing point.
Next, Yuna waved her dragon wings and played back and forth under the metal canopy.
Galleon disappeared like a flash of silver light and flew to a node of the mechanical giant pillar.
Stretching out the dragon's claws, the metal cube appeared between Garen's claws.
Buzz buzz.
As soon as it appeared, a bright blue energy circuit began to appear on the dark mechanical pillar, as if it sensed the existence of the metal cube.
Garen took the metal cube and pressed it lightly against the giant mechanical pillar.
Katcha kacha.
Where the two come into contact, the surface armor will automatically crack.
The metal cube seemed to have fallen into water, sinking inside the giant mechanical pillar.
The moment when the core returns.
The entire mechanical star started to move again.
The surrounding steel forest composed of mechanical pillars, the metal canopy covering the top, and the mechanized surface modules... The originally dark metal world has regained its brightness, and the endless energy circuits are like the blood vessels of living things.
Veins, the blue energy light inside is like blood.
Winter winter winter.
Originating from inside the giant mechanical pillar, the roar that the Mechanical God called the world engine sounded, echoing in the sky, as if coming from the heartbeat of the huge mechanical star.
After the core returned, Mechanical God's computing power returned to its peak.
at the same time.
The first layer of the bottomless abyss, the Plain of Abyss.
Somewhere in the Abyss Plain, an invasion war between the Demon Legion and the Mechanical Fortress is taking place.
Because of Galleon's authorization, Artificer players can freely build mechanical fortresses, arsenals, research laboratories and other building units through military merit exchange.
With such a high degree of freedom, how can Artificer players be content with the status quo?
Furthermore, since the resources around the main base have been almost mined, countless Artificer players have chosen to build sub-bases outside the main base, gradually moving away from the territory of the devil camp.
As a result, with the player guild as a unit, mechanical fortresses were built one after another, distributed among the special grid-like landforms of the Abyss Plain.
To the demons, the mechanical fortresses that appeared one after another in the Abyss Plain were as disgusting to them as a stubborn disease, destroying one after another as if in an endless stream.
What annoys the devils the most is...
The development of mechanical fortress is extremely fast.
Locust-like engineers will continuously mine resources around the fortress, expand the base, breed troops, repair fortifications... If left alone, the scale will almost expand at an ever-changing speed.
A small frontline base, if not careful, will turn into a fortress that is difficult to conquer.
"Why don't we have such high-quality bloody mercenaries in the abyss?"
"Fighting for the weak devils of hell, these guys will sooner or later be swallowed up by the abyss like hell."
There is a demon who keeps cursing.
At this time, the Mechanical Fortress is being attacked by the demon army. Due to the difference in size between the two sides, it won't be long before the Mechanical Fortress will be breached by the demons.
This mechanical fortress belongs to a small guild.
In order to build the mechanical fortress, they have almost exhausted their military merit points.
If this place is captured, the investment for a long time will not get any return. Although the request for assistance from the nearest guild has been approved, reinforcements cannot arrive immediately.
boom!
The destructive fireball condensed by a Balrog hit the fortress barrier hard, sputtering out flames all over the sky.
The energy barrier, which is constantly bearing a large number of attacks, is almost unable to hold up.
The number of mechanical soldiers fighting against the demonic legion is also constantly decreasing, far exceeding the manufacturing speed of the arsenal.
The guild members were a little depressed and had already begun to think of giving up here.
Although I feel unwilling to do so, there is nothing I can do about it.
But at this time.
Suddenly, a message from Tianzun Intelligence was delivered to all Artificer players, including the small guild that was being invaded.
"The main system will be updated soon, please be prepared for all Artificer players."
Ding.
In just a moment, the so-called system update is completed.
The Artificer player came back from his daze and was immediately surprised to find that his mechanical soldiers had become more intelligent. The more advanced mechanical units seemed to come to life. The efficiency of various units in executing the player's instructions had been improved more than once.
double the increase.
“Great, great, this system is updated at the right time!”
The members of the small guild were ecstatic and began to issue various instructions in high spirits.
at the same time.
The demons who were attacking the mechanical fortress also noticed something was wrong.
The mechanical fortress, which had already shown signs of decline, suddenly became violent.
More mechanical soldiers stepped out of the fortress and continued to fight with the demons. The firepower from the fortress defenses suddenly surged several times, and the sky-blocking artillery fire made the attacking demons feel even more pressure.
Even the crumbling fortress barrier has taken on new life and become stronger.
Similar scenes occurred in many war zones in the Wanyuan Plain.
Some of the attacking mechanical legions suddenly had a huge increase in combat power, and with the help of the Devil's Blood War Army, they defeated the demons with overwhelming force. There were also mechanical fortresses that were invaded and came to life, with their defense strength increased by one level and becoming impregnable.
.....................
"Since you have returned to Mechanical Star, let's repair the damage here first."
Garen has regarded this metal world as his own.
The dilapidated environment around it looks a bit unpleasant.
The metal particles in the air formed the narrow eyes of the Mechanical God, located under the silver dragon, looking up at Garen, and said at the same time: "As you wish."
Said.
The criss-crossing mechanical pillars were all humming continuously.
In the gentle tremors, they released endless metal particles, forming a wave of gray mist, passing over the surrounding buildings that were devastated by the war.
Then, the fragmented surface began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dilapidated infrastructure is also rapidly regenerated.
At this rate, within a few days, the large-scale areas destroyed by Garen and the alien gods will be brand new.
"This is my world, and it's your world."
The Mechanical Goddess said to Garen.
Garen soared into the sky, looking far into the distance, looking down at the metal world.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you want to expand into the field of machinery?"
The Mechanical God replied frankly: "Return to my Lord, I want to."
Among its core programs, there are also programs that are eager to expand its scale and strengthen itself.
Garon rubbed the scales on his chin and muttered: "The Blood War Legion should not be limited to the Wanyuan Plain."
"Open a new war zone and let some Artificer players go to the Burning Hell, build a base in the Burning Hell, and participate in the bloody battle."
In the Burning Hell, there are also demons and demons.
Creatures such as devils and demons can be seen in all lower planes.
It's just that compared to the base camps of the Abyss and the Nine Hells, the devils and demonic forces in other lower planes are much weaker.
Naturally, there are also battlefields for bloody wars in the Burning Hell, where devils and demons are fighting endlessly, but the scale will be much smaller than the Abyss Blood War Zone and Hell Blood War Zone.
In addition, there are not as many strong men in the Burning Hell as there are Abyss Demons.
On the battlefield below the level of gods, the mechanical legion can currently be said to be invincible.
The most important thing is that by allowing the Mechanical God to go to the Burning Hell to develop, he can also collect clues about the Lord of Terror's Demon Nest and search for the Darkest Ax. If he can successfully find the Darkest Ax and resurrect the Lord God of the Dragon Clan, that would be great.
"OK."
The Mechanical Goddess replied in a low voice.
The Artificer players located in the Abyss Plains also received a new notice.
[Never-ending bloody war—the dungeon of Burning Hell is opened]
[Players are now recruited to participate, and the first batch of wasteland pioneers will receive various luxurious gifts]
In the main base of the Wanyuan Plain, the engineering units were put into operation and began to build the plane gate leading to the Burning Hell. As the base camp, the metal world was also constantly creating newer and stronger mechanical units.
After core return.
The mechanical god has newly gained the ability to control the metal world.
Some of the materials mined in the Wanyuan Plain, captured demons, etc. will then be sent to the metal world, where the Mechanical God can better utilize them and build new machines.
"In addition, you can secretly send mechanical creations to some suitable main material worlds to develop more intelligent creatures as players."
"It's just Artificer players, but the number is still a bit insufficient."
The control power of the Mechanical God is limited, but by using the thinking of intelligent creatures as small nodes, the control power over mechanical creations can be greatly improved, and the intelligence and reaction will also be greatly improved.
Garen, who is now a master of gadgets, understands this very well.
Although the Artifact Master is the most suitable for the Mechanical God, the Artifact Master is limited. Ordinary intelligent creatures can also provide the Mechanical God with control as a player. The more the number, the better.
"My lord, I have a good plan in this regard."
The Mechanical God suddenly said.
"tell me the story."
Garen looked into the eyes of the Mechanical God and said.
In calm words, the Mechanical God spoke out a rather cruel plan.
"Conquer some small main material worlds and enslave all intelligent creatures in them."
"Then, I can build a device to imprison all intelligent creatures in it, maintain their lives with substances such as nutrient solution, and then brainwash them into the spiritual world I created, mistakenly thinking they are living in the real world."
"In this way, the enslaved intelligent creatures will unknowingly serve our Lord as mechanical intelligence."
Galleons:.............
Ideas are good ideas.
It's a pity that if it is actually implemented, Galleon will be immediately thrown into the evil god's camp.
Moreover, if there are too many believers of the gods among the enslaved intelligent creatures, it is very likely that the gods will attack and suppress them.
"It would be okay in a godless world."
"But how many worlds are there that are completely godless? Neither you nor I can be sure."
"It's better not to implement your plan."
Garen shook his head and rejected the plan of the Mechanical God.
At this moment.
Yuna, who had already galloped at full speed and circled the metal world, came back from the other direction.
"The scenery here is too monotonous."
"It felt good when I first watched it, but after going around the world, the world was full of metal and machinery, and it became boring to watch."
Yuna Digu said.
"Let's go back, Garen."
Jia Long nodded and said softly: "Okay, let's go back to Longting."
As he spoke, the long river of time wrapped around Garen and Yuna's bodies, creating tiny ripples.
In the blink of an eye, the two giant dragons disappeared from the metal world, and it was difficult to see any intelligent creatures here again.
After Garen left, the eyes of the Mechanical God also slowly disappeared.

One of the outer planes.
A realm of harmonious unity of opposites - the outer realm.
This is an outer plane known simply as Outland.
Outland has a unique position among the Outer Planes in that it is adjacent to all of the Outer Planes. As such, it can accommodate all planar creatures, whether fiendish or celestial, as well as those from the planes of Law or Chaos.
All creatures can be found here.
In the Outer Domain, there are sixteen gated cities that can lead to sixteen outer planes.
There are many plane travelers who use the Outer Realm as a transit point to reach other outer planes.
Except for the Sixteen Gate City.
There is also a mysterious realm in the Outland.
Sigil City, the City of Ten Thousand Gates, is the core of the core of Outland.
Sigil City has countless portals. There are invisible portals between bricks and tiles, which can lead to every corner of the endless planes of the multiverse. Many scholars believe that Sigil City in the outer world is in the midst of multidimensionality.
The very center of the universe.
The creator and ruler of Sigil, a quasi-divine being named Lady of Pain, Her Majesty Serenity, is even more mysterious.
Just today.
Sigil City, a special place, welcomed a powerful divine power.
The Lord of Storms, the Sun Titan, and the eldest son of the Giant God, Sitra Maoz, came to Sigil City alone without disturbing any gods.
