Chapter 97. Explosion!


    Char immediately thought of the Power Gem.


    And his Pseudo Divine Space.


    But the problem was that these two methods were not efficient enough.


    The former could only be used in a one-on-one battle, while thetter required him to touch the object he wanted to store.


    The scene in front of him...


    God knows how long it would take for him to touch more than a thousand mechanical flying dragons.


    Moreover, the other party would not just stand by and watch.


    "Are you thinking about using the Power Gem?"


    The other party suddenly asked.


    "Eh?"


    Char was taken aback, but he did not hide it. He nodded and said, "How did you know?"


    The Mechanical Holy Spirit probably didn''t expect Char to react this way. It was also stunned for a second, then replied, "Don''t you want to try?"


    "It''s toote, and don''t think I can''t see that you''re trying to lure the Tiger away from the mountain, and do you want me to die of exhaustion?"


    "Ha..."


    The Mechanical Holy Spirit smiled.


    "Why don''t you try to control the Turing tower?"


    Oh, right!


    Char suddenly realized that he had made a small mistake.


    The Turing tower was the source of the "personal system" and the citizens'' "consciousness" of the Upper City District. It was also the key to connecting the core of Ravend and the Upper City District. It was almost equivalent to a central hub...


    Moreover, its name was Soul Furnace, and just the sound of it was enough to make one feel a sense of mystery!


    If he could control this thing, wouldn''t that be equivalent to indirectly controlling the entire Ravend?


    Char''s eyes shed with eagerness.


    "What''s wrong?" he raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, you''ve changed to using bribery instead of coercion? "


    "No, this should have been yours."


    The Mechanical Holy Spirit''s smile was a little strange.


    "If this can make you remember something, then I''ve aplished my mission. I''m just afraid you can''t do it."


    With that, he waved his hand, and dozens of beast soldier guards pped their wings and flew between the two of them. They lowered their bodies and formed a Dragon Bridge in front of Char. The rest of the beast soldiers retreated to a safe distance, and the Mechanical Holy Spirit itself also flew far away, making a ''please'' gesture.


    This sincerity could be said to be full.


    He only needed to take three steps to reach the maximum distance of the power Gem, and he would not be too far away from the group around him.


    As long as he stood with Rosswealth and the others, the Holy Spirits would be wary and not dare to kill him, because that would free him.


    He took the first step forward.


    Why did it do that?


    It had previously said, "We know you are stubborn. We have experienced it in the past year."


    Now it was asking him what he would remember ...


    Does this mean that my memory has been tampered with?


    Their real purpose was to help him recover?


    Char took a second step.


    "You can''t go any further!"


    Messiah suddenly stood in front of him, her attitude firm.


    "Eh?"


    Char was stunned.


    At the same time, a subtle thought came to his mind ...


    Did Messiah do something to me in the past? Did my memories get tampered with? That''s why the Holy Spirits are so confident and bet all their chips on this?


    Once he regains his memory, then...


    "It was the goddess who stopped you, right?"


    Seeing that he had stopped, the Mechanical Holy Spirit teased him.


    Although it could not see Messiah, its words were so certain.


    Char did not answer and turned to look at Messiah.


    "The reason? Look, the enemy is forcing us to abdicate."


    "I don''t know..." The goddess pursed her lips, her eyes pleading.


    "Don''t go any further..."


    Char was silent.


    After a long while.


    "Did you remember something?" He asked.


    Messiah shook her head and did not say anything. She just kept trying to stop them.


    ? "If you really thought of something, tell me. I''ll definitely listen. But if there isn''t, I will continue to move forward." Char said.


    "You can''t, Char,"


    Messiah said with an unusually determined attitude.


    "I can''t let you pass, this is... This is my mission and duty! I''m very sure of this!"


    "MMH... What if I do this?"


    Char''s hand reached towards her...


    Messiah''s face turned red, but she still gritted her teeth and stood in front of him.


    "You can do whatever you want, but you can''t go over!"


    Do you really think I don''t dare to touch it?


    Besides, why didn''t I notice that you''re also unreasonable other than being a recorder?


    Actually, Char could have easily walked past her, but he calmed down after being blocked.


    It was his usual practice to guide the enemy to slip down the established line of thought, but he had almost fallen for it just now.


    The content of his thoughts had changed from ''how could she lie to me'' to ''what did Messiah do in the past''. The transition between the two was so natural that even he did not realize it.


    But now, after jumping out of it, he suddenly became clear-headed.


    It should be like this...


    "I''m sorry, but I''m going to get this thing today."


    He quickly dodged Messiah, opened his hand and raised it under the calm gaze of the Mechanical Holy Spirit. He opened his fingers, and then...


    Suddenly, a gem appeared in his hand!


    However, it was not a power Gem!


    The Mechanical Holy Spirit''s expression changed, and it immediately rushed towards Char.


    "No, you ..."


    But he was toote.


    A thin ray of ck light shot out of the gem. It was only the size of a pinkie nail, but it went straight into the Turing tower.


    Then, the entire tower began to shake.


    From weak to intense, and then to...


    Kachaa


    After the first sound, there was a continuous cracking sound.


    It wasn''t just a fracture, it was a deeper crack.


    Each piece of residue became even more fragmented after leaving the body as if the irregr division of parts was going on forever...


    The outeryer of the Turing tower turned into powder in the blink of an eye, but the inside still maintained its general appearance. However, the cracks also spread like a virus.


    tsk, who would have thought that the "annihtion strike: was actually a destruction gem...


    Char eximed and jumped back onto the stage.


    The mechanical Wyvern he had been stepping on earlier was like a kite with a broken string, wailing as it fell to the ground.


    "I hope this thing can wake you up ..."


    He turned his head to look at Rosswealth.


    Next to the girl, Kuris, 875, Rnd, and Svartalfheim were disappearing as he thought.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ..


    ..


    Upper City District


    Ethan had used his survival points to exchange for arge number of weapons and ammunition, arming the Android to the teeth. With these advanced weapons, he was actually able to fight back and forth with his opponent!


    Not only that, but they also learned to sustain themselves through battle. All the survival points they collected went into Ethan''s pocket, so the number of people on the team kept growing ...


    But in a certain corner ...


    A B-52 mechanical explosive-scaled Dragon let out a roar, and the scales on its body lit up one after another. Its two wings were on the ground, and it aggressively pounced in one direction. The sound of explosions was endless along the way!


    "Quickly Dodge!"


    Ethan roared in despair, and his entire body suddenly turned into a pool of ck liquid, rushing toward the baby master girl who was hiding in the corner.


    He felt that he must be crazy!


    Ethan hugged her and tried to block the monster with his back.


    It''s over...


    He thought with regret.


    However, when he felt the trembling youngdy suddenly calm down, he no longer felt that regretful.


    In the end, he would die in peace. Not bad, right?


    The explosion was close at hand. He could already foresee himself being crushed into meat paste by this monster...


    There might even be a burnt smell... Tsk.


    However, a second passed...


    Two seconds...


    Three seconds...


    Why has he not been exploded yet?


    Ethan carefully turned around and found that the monster behind him had turned into a pile of scrap metal.


    A new set of ck armor!


    As the Turing tower was violently torn down by the "annihtion strike", which was also "destruction" of the three gemstones, the Army of mechanical Wyverns summoned by the Mechanical Holy Spirit from the ruins of Ravend was instantly paralyzed.


    Not only that, but the nobles born from the Turing tower in the Uptown had also lost their ability to move. No matter what they were doing a second ago, they were now standing in ce in a daze, and their dull faces were now like wax figures.


    The androids, who were restricted by their "survival points" and "target line" should have been severely injured as well, but because of Ethan''s liberation operation, most of them were not affected. Instead, they escaped death because of the paralysis of the beast guards.


    The shock quickly passed. The Android, who enjoyed freedom for the first time, felt a new lease of life that ordinary people would never experience in this devastatednd. For the first time since the birth of the Upper City District, deafening cheers rang out.


    Ethan was surrounded, then lifted up by all hands and feet, thrown into the air again and again, caught, turned over, and thrown again ...


    He felt the scene in a panic, but his eyes were attracted by the gentle figure in the crowd who was looking at him with a smile...


    Mom, I seem to be in love ...


    ...


    ...


    "Cough cough... The dust is quite thick."


    Char climbed up with a face full of dust and dirt. He removed the "Prince Louis''s special item, Travel-type Stone Sielding Umbre β" that was covering Rosswealth, shook off the dust, and coughed a few times.


    The dust produced by the copse of the Turing tower was no less than a small-scale volcanic eruption, and the ground was covered with at least half a meter of fluorescent dust.


    This was a good thing. How good was it exactly? It wasparable to Khorium.


    These could basically be regarded as shapeless magic-conducting cement, whose hardness and energy coefficient was superior to the two magic metals, Mithril and adamantine.


    Because this thing came from the Turing tower and was part of the Ravend machinery, Char collected a small amount of it with the intention of trying it out. In the end, the thickyer on the ground was all collected into the Blue Moon ...


    It was as if the moon was covered with ayer of fluorescent moss.


    When all the cement dust was collected by him, the mechanical Holy Spirit buried under it was revealed.


    It seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. There were several deep wounds on its half-human, half-machine body structure, but because of its special structure, the power Gem had no effect on it.


    At the same time, Rosswealth also slowly woke up.


    She knocked her head hard, then looked around, her face full of surprise.


    "What happened?"


    Char exined what had happened in a few sentences.


    "Then... Where are Kuris and the others?" Rosswealth frowned. "Also, you said "annihtion strike" was a hint. What are you hinting at? "


    "These two are actually the same problem."


    "The introduction of the "Annihtion Strike" says "The best rm clock, there''s no one it can''t wake up", and this monument has the epitaph of Fitzrock, "I''m hanging up, wake me up if you can". At that time, I had guessed that it might be the use of "Annihtion strike", but the hint was too broad andcked many details. How should it be used? What target could it be used on? If obliteration was a Cannonball, would it need auncher?"


    Char picked up the tablet from the ground. Only a few corners of it had been knocked off.


    "The introduction of the "Annihtion Strike" says "The best rm clock, there''s no one it can''t wake up", and this monument has the epitaph of Fitzrock, "I''m hanging up, wake me up if you can". At that time, I had guessed that it might be the use of "Annihtion strike", but the hint was too broad andcked many details. How should it be used? What target could it be used on? If obliteration was a Cannonball, would it need auncher? What was the safe distance? I''ve been waiting for this opportunity..."


    "Until the appearance of the Mechanical Holy Spirit?"


    "Yes, its appearance conveyed too much information, and its subsequent actionspletely exposed it." Char smiled. "It was so domineering when it first appeared. It only needed to move its fingers to knock you all down. But if you look closely, you''ll find that there''s something different about it.


    "Kuris, 875, Rnd, and Svartalfheim fainted without saying a word as if they were directly under his control. and then, you were knocked unconscious because of the window on your head. I guess this is a skill that can control the window within a certain range... As for the other androids, including 029 and the Sentry team, they seemed to have fainted for no reason, but when this scene wasbined with their identity as mechanics, they were hit by a mechanic''s long-range attack.


    "This actually means one thing. It can''t fully control the Turing tower."


    "And its actionster happened to prove this point... Look, the Wyvern was so handsome, but why did it want half of the Wyverns to go outside? I think the reason is simple. It wants to destroy those androids that are out of control."


    "To be precise, it can''t be controlled."


    "Without knowing that I asked Ethan to rescue the androids, it could have used the "indicators" to directly control the human tools, but it chose such a crude method... The answer can''t be any more obvious. It only has partial control over the Turing tower."


    "So you believe that Fitzrock is still alive..." Rosswealth nodded thoughtfully. "And then it lured you to use the power Gem to control the Turing tower, with the purpose of killing you with a borrowed knife, so that you couldpletely take control of it from Fitzrock? "


    "Yes, that''s it."


    Char snapped his fingers and praised.


    "So I roughly understood what Fitzrock was thinking... Indeed, he''s not dead yet, but it''s precisely because he''s not dead that we have to perish together."


    Char stopped smiling and said calmly, "I''ve been thinking about how Fitzrock originally lived from the beginning... I thought of the book"How to be the next Fitzrock" and the words and drawings left on the walls of the soul furnace."


    "Let''s start from the beginning. After we came to Ravend, whether it was the fourth district or the Uptown City District, the machines, androids, or nobles we saw could be generally divided into three categories. The first category was the nobles at the top of the status pyramid. The second type was the lowest-level goods, the infantry, the three friends of 875, and so on. The third type was the Bionics which could be seen everywhere."


    "The androids we see are also divided into two obvious categories. To be precise, after eliminating a few unusual species, the rest, regardless of whether they are subject to the index line or not, can actually be ssified into onerge category... These include Kuris, 875, Rnd, and Svartalfheim."


    Rosswealth was stunned for a few seconds before she said in realization, "You mean... The hanging window?"


    Room 875 hid a hanging window and gave it to Ortlinde.


    Kuris gave his window to Rosswealth.


    Although there was a window above Rnd''s head, it belonged to the entire Sentry team, like a Billboard. In addition, he also hid a window. He almost showed it to Rosswealth, but she red at him and stopped him.


    Finally, there was the hanging window above Feilulinde.


    And the thing that had been hidden in the obelisk by Svartalfheim and taken away by Ethan.


    "Yes. The hanging window is a symbol of status, but to a certain extent, it''s also a guide. "


    After a pause, Char continued,


    "then, back to the question, what form does Fitzrock live in... At first, I thought that he was Feilulinde because the existence of two souls in one body is very simr to the confusion and self-doubt of Fitzrock before his copse. But in fact, I thought too little of it. This great mechanic is much more ruthless to himself than I thought ..."


    "He divided himself into five parts, corresponding to the five Bionics."


    "875 represents the childhood of Fitzrock. At that time, he was just a tool Android, doing menial work for mechanics like raising animals and organizing data. Although neither the murals nor the books mentioned the goose called Yaya, the bear called Bill, and the squirrel called Zhizhi, when I asked what Feilulunde wanted to exchange for, he blurted out a goose, a squirrel, and a bear ... I''m afraid these three have a very deep impression of him.


    "Rnd, well, he''s-coward, but he has a hysterical ruthlessness. This happened to be when Fitzrock was a teenager. He witnessed a tool who didn''t remember his number die because of a small mistake, and then he suffered from serious mechanical PTSD. He wanted to live more than anyone else... Maybe the Bionics he''s trying so hard to protect are just like his colleagues who served that mechanic with him in fear."


    Char sighed and continued,


    "Then, it was Kuris. This was obvious. Fitzlock wanted to be a mechanic as if he had gone crazy. He was not satisfied with just being an assistant who raised animals. He began to self-study various mechanic courses and participate in simple manufacturing. Because of his talent and hard work, he was appreciated and valued... However, the more he thought about it, the more he realized the insurmountable gap between an assistant and a mechanic. The more he felt conflicted, the more he couldn''t get out of it. Just like kuris'' unattainable dream and helplesspromise."


    "I won''t talk about Feilulinde and Svartalfheim. As you can see, these two great mechanics correspond to the Fitzlock era. Before he witnessed the birth of the "Holy Grail", he believed in science, was absolutely rigorous, and had infinite creativity. He even tried to touch the field of "God" and did not believe in the existence of God at all.


    but it''s different for Svartalfheim. He said "f*ck Science". He haspletely be a devout believer, but he is also at a loss and in pain. He doesn''t know who to believe in, and he has be paranoid about his illusions and fears of God.


    "This is Fitzrock''s "existence". You can also say that he doesn''t exist because none of them realize that they are Fitzrock himself. But we can''t deny that he has always been by our side, apanying us, and helping us toplete this journey..."


    "He never left."


    After hearing this, Roswealth also felt a little emotional, but then she faintly felt that something was wrong.


    "Is there a part missing? I don''t understand the story, but... How did Fitzrock be a mechanic? He''s obviously an Android ..."


    "You didn''t hear wrong, it''s just missing a part. Fitzrock had been turned into a mechanic by a miracle before he started his counterattack and made a name for himself... The missing part is this part, or rather, this part was deleted by him."


    "He deleted it himself? What?" Rosswealth was stunned. "Why?"


    if he didn''t delete this part, he would still remember and acknowledge the existence of God. Then there would never have been Feilulinde. They would not have the courage to touch the realm of God. So he abandoned this part and forgot how he became a mechanic. As for where this part went..."


    Char looked at the Mechanical Holy Spirit with a mocking smile.


    "I don''t think ''miracles'' can be given so easily. Someone must have used miracles to exchange for his faith and tried to use it to threaten Fitzrock. Unfortunately, this guy is too pure and too intelligent to think of such a shameless method .."


    Char could not help but smile. "He exchanged three minutes of faith for a chance to be the "strongest mechanic in history". Then, he immediately turned his back on us and stripped himself from his memory three minutes ago. We don''t understand this, but he''s a guy who turned from a cyborg to a human. It''s not difficult to aplish this ... As for where the stripped Fitzrock went, that goes without saying."
