Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "It's actually a mechanical creation? Is it possible that the difference engine can imitate its biological structure and make a mechanical copy just by relying on the battle with [Cloud Whale Beast]? This is really..."

　　 He didn't know whether to admire the opponent's ability or worry about the terribleness of his enemy. But the ashes were obviously sprayed by this whale, and Jenkins had to stop it.

　　 It doesn't matter if you can't enter the clouds, after all, most of Jenkins's abilities are not triggered by melee.

　　 He drew his sword from the air, and with the accumulation of spirit, the sword light shone in the sky and smashed the clouds above.

　　The sword light that burst into the black cloud, even briefly broke through a gap in the cloud, allowing the church demigods who came later to see the tip of the iceberg of the mechanical giant whale.

　　 The sword light did not successfully hit the target. Around the whale, a barrier that did not exist before appeared at the moment the sword light reached the body, blocking the sword light.

　　 The barrier itself, which looked like a bubble, only showed ripples and a few cracks, which disappeared shortly after the sword light disappeared. This reminded Jenkins of the defensive layer surrounding the huge metal head yesterday afternoon.

　　 At that time, he used the sword directly, not the light of the sword, to split that layer of "bubbles", but this time he couldn't fly up at all.

The disappearance of the attack caused the broken clouds to close again. Jenkins did not continue to catch up, but waited for the support of the church to fly in.

　　Because the Evergreen Forest cannot be unpopulated, the manpower can only be sent to Nolan after retaining the basic combat power. The local order still needs to be maintained, and the Church of the Sage, which is currently in session, needs someone to guard it to prevent it from being a strategy to move the tiger away from the mountain.

　　 Therefore, there are actually only more than 20 demigods facing whales with Jenkins, including three sons and two demigods from the pseudo-god.

　　 "Similar to yesterday's situation, there is a transparent barrier around that thing. Ordinary means can't break it. My sword can, but the unicorn can't break through this layer of fog."

　　 He briefly explained the situation, and sure enough, someone put forward an idea:

"The church also has some very...dangerous weapons, which can break through that barrier 100%, but also require close use. Therefore, our focus now is to enter the black fog in the air, Fabry Miss, I saw you split the fog with your sword just now, can you continue to do this?"

　　 "It can be, but are you sure, anyone dare to move around my sword light?"

　　 Jenkins asked Nolan’s old grave guard.

　　 "But this is also a way of thinking. If the whale doesn't get down, we must go up... Now we will pass the message to the church. I think I can always find a way to get us into the clouds."

　　 The clouds in the sky that obscured the sun are not ordinary clouds, at least the wind cannot blow it away. Jenkins thought that maybe his own [Calling the Wind and Calling Rain] would be useful, so he used the [Real Phantom] to pull the real body on the back of the unicorn, and then projected back to the church, allowing the unicorn to fly around with the unconscious body. .

　　 Sure enough, the church also thought of the same idea as Jenkins. Almost when Jenkins was about to open the door, someone knocked on his door.

　　 He followed a group of people to the highest point of the east tower of the church, because the dark clouds blocked the sun, the sky outside was dark like late night, but at this moment it was clearly approaching dawn.

　　 Fingers up day:

　　 "Call the wind and call the rain!"

　　 This time, the spirit consumed by using power is obviously more than ever before. Obviously, it is not easy to call the wind and rain under the current catastrophic weather, but Jenkins still did it.

　　 A gust of wind suddenly appeared above Nolan, driving the higher clouds to flow. But it is a pity that the flow of air is driving the changes of the cloud cover on a large scale, and the sky at this moment is completely covered by black clouds. Therefore, whether it is a large-scale cloud cover change or a small-scale change, it is meaningless.

　　 Jenkins' failed attempts also gave the church more ideas. And Jenkins did not continue to participate in the action, but as an excuse to talk to Alexia, and flew back to the back of the unicorn again.

Chapter 2065 Chapter 2034

　　 While in the church just now, Jenkins also heard some new information about ashes falling from the sky. Of course, the ashes are not pollutants thrown by the differential engine. This kind of thing is quickly heating the ground after it touches the ground.

　　 At the same time, if a machine with a gear structure comes into contact with the ashes, although there will be no change in a short period of time, the Mechanical Church has found that the composition of those machines has changed.

　　 Ash contains both black cloud and gray mist. Falling into the field will pollute plants and come into contact with human bodies. Although there is nothing to be discovered for the time being, it will definitely have an impact on people's health.

　　 At present, the church has only found a giant whale appeared above Nolan, and there is no other part of the world yet. But no one would doubt the creation ability of the differential engine. Apart from the almost "omnipotent" calculations, the ability to create machinery is what makes the church most jealous.

　　 The church spent twenty minutes thinking of a way to deal with the dark clouds, and during this period, the temperature of the falling ashes became higher and higher. Even at the end, the ashes that had just emerged from the dark clouds were still warm when they fell to the ground with fire.

　　 This is not a good phenomenon. Jenkins originally wanted to force one more time, but fortunately, Mr. Gilbert was holding a box and found the team following the giant mechanical whale in the air.

　　 "This allows one person to move in the dark mist for a short time. But it can only last for twenty minutes."

　　 Inside the box is a candle, an ordinary white candle. The candle appears to have been used for a long time. Now there is only one candle head left. Jenkins thinks that Mr. Gilbert thinks the candle can be used for "twenty minutes". This is an overly optimistic guess.

　　 "Are you sure you got it right?"

　　 Seeing this candle, the old grave guard frowned:

"If I remember correctly, when this B-12-1-2347 [Soul Fire Candle] is used, although it can dispel all the anomalies around it, it can only be ignited by the sacrifice of the soul... you Is holding a soul jar? Are you really going to burn your soul?"

　　 His tone is quite dissatisfied, and other people can understand the old grave guard's thoughts.

　　 "The church says that special matters are handled specially, so this time..."

　　 Mr. Gilbert said embarrassedly.

　　 "No need, take it back, I have an idea."

　　 Jenkins interjected, then patted the unicorn on the head to prepare it to charge upwards:

　　 "I just remembered that I also have a candle."

　　 The little beast turned into a white light and rushed under the clouds, and the purification candle fused with the fire of the gift appeared in Jenkins' hands. He held the candle aloft. Compared with the vast sky, the light of the candle was really faint.

　　 But when he and the unicorn really entered the dark cloud, the warm yellow light was like an eraser erasing the mark of a pencil, leaving a clear path of fire on the trail of Jenkins and the unicorn.

　　 The people of the church immediately followed, and under the leadership of Jenkins who held the candle high, they finally approached the giant whale swimming in the dark clouds.

　　 Its huge body is hidden in the depths of the dark clouds, even the flame of a purifying candle cannot illuminate its surroundings. Finally about to touch the transparent barrier, Jenkins's left hand has taken out his sword and is ready to stab forward.

　　 But suddenly there came a sound that almost pierced the eardrum:

　　 "Ang~"

　　Sound waves vibrate the clouds, stirring the clouds and appear almost in physical form. This is the call of a mechanical giant whale. According to a fixed estimate, the whale that was swimming finally changed its trajectory. On the edge of the candle light, part of the whale's tail slipped past.

　　 Jenkins can see clearly that the tail is also completely brass-colored mechanical material, and the center of the tail seems to be embedded with a dial. In the few seconds that the tail appeared, he even saw the longer second hand turning.

　　 "Be careful, this whale may have time abilities."

　　 He turned his head and said to the people behind him. When he looked forward, his huge sense of crisis made him stare. The unicorn's inspiration is also outstanding, and he also feels the fatal crisis that appears in the dark cloud that can not be seen from the front.

　　 "Is there a shield?"

　　 He shouted again, without any explanation, all kinds of light shields appeared in front of him. This is a shield wall constructed by people of different beliefs with different abilities. After the shield wall appeared, a light appeared in the depths of the black cloud.

Looking up in the church below, Anastasia, the silver dragon, saw that the dark clouds suddenly burst, and then a huge impact of energy pierced the clouds through a hole, allowing her to see Jenkins on top of the front. , Split that beam of light into two.

　　 The shield wall weakened the light, and Jenkins tried his best to slash forward with a sword that even split the energy. Because the light dissipated the fog briefly, people also saw the whale with its huge mouth open to Miss Fabry's group, and saw the gun barrel sticking out of its mouth.

　　 The gear clicked and turned, and the hinge hidden inside, drove the barrel to shrink into the whale's mouth.

　　 "This is it again? Does the differential engine have no other more creative attack methods?"

　　 The unicorn carried Jenkins into a white light and flew upward. The sword pierced the barrier around the giant metal whale, and then they tried to rush into the huge mouth of the whale that had not yet closed.

　　 The call of the giant whale sounded again, and even the people on the ground felt uncomfortable because of the sound. The air current burst from the mouth of the mechanical whale, and then sprayed Jenkins's face with the ashes of Mars, but it was useless.

　　 He wanted to enter the mechanical whale and destroy this big guy from the inside, but the whale didn't give him a chance. After all the ashes were blown out, the tongue of fire gushed out of the whale's mouth like a sea of ​​fire.

　　 "Oh, Sophia, come and see! It's really beautiful!"

　　 Yinlong at the window looked excitedly at the light that appeared inside the dark clouds in the sky:

　　 "Look there!"

　　 She pointed out to Princess Sophia, and the princess said helplessly:

　　 "Aren't you going to help Jenkins?"

　　 "He doesn't need my help yet. He can handle such trivial matters by himself. Sophia, don't underestimate the living god!"

　　 The sea of ​​fire was blocked by the shield wall again. After the flame disappeared, Jenkins and the unicorn had already rushed to the mouth of the whale. The densely packed brass-colored metal parts together constitute this giant monster. If you observe it up close, you can even see that all the parts that make up the whale are still in operation.

　　 The gear is rotating, the hinge is rotating, and the plug moves back and forth with the components.

　　 The whale did not try to shut up to prevent Jenkins from rushing in. Instead, it opened its mouth wide, its mouth wide open. The flexible metal is bending, driving the metal parts of the whole body to rotate more wildly. In front of Jenkins, the mechanical whale unreservedly showed the core part of the body.

Chapter 2066 Chapter 2035 The Challenge of the Nine-Story Tower

　　The core of the mechanical whale is a machine, not the miniaturized integrated metal core commonly used by omnivores.

　　 That is a very old-looking steam engine, and judging from its shape, it is a very early model. The volume of the steam engine is about a quarter of the size of an ordinary bedroom. The pipes of different thickness extend from the inside of the whale to connect to the steam engine, and also play a role in fixing it.

　　 The fire in the furnace is orange, and the high temperature is blowing. It is hard to imagine how high the temperature inside this steam engine is.

　　 was about to smash this thing with a sword, but heard the unique sound of the differential engine, appearing from the inside of the whale's huge mouth. It is impossible for it to risk its own core appearing directly in front of Jenkins, so this should be some kind of sound transmission device:

　　 "Savior, do you know what this is?"

　　 It uses the term "savior" instead of revealing that the woman riding a unicorn in front of him is Jenkins. I want to know that no one will believe it.

　　 "Mechanical whale, I saw it in your dreams."

　　 "No, I mean, do you know what the core is in front of you?"

　　 "This is a steam engine."

　　 "This is the first real imitation of the steam engine created by humans in the eighteenth century."

　　 "......"

　　 "So, do you know where the first real steam engine created by mankind in the Eighteenth Era is now?"

　　 Although the rapid development of the steam industry has only appeared in this century, the invention of the steam engine can be traced back hundreds of years. The historical celebrity who invented the practical steam engine prototype can of course be found by Jenkins from the memory of the original owner. But he is not a historian, and even if it is Professor Burns who finds history, I am afraid that he can't find out where the original machine is.

　　 "The prototype steam engine was stolen by me 174 years ago."

　　 After waking up from the dream, it is indeed a lot more humane.

"So?"

　　 "You know the meaning of the prototype steam engine. This can be regarded as the seed of civilization created by mankind in this era. Even if it cannot be used to influence civilization, it has a powerful force because of its symbolism."

　　 "You want to integrate the prototype steam engine into your core?"

　　 "Yes, I want to use it as my core new energy."

　　 "Then, why tell me?"

　　 Although Jenkins spoke calmly, the church demigods behind him were already tense. For occultism, "symbols" often have important meanings, which can make ordinary things possess extraordinary power. The prototype steam engine can even become a powerful alchemy item with a little modification.

　　 "Incorporate it into the core of my body, and I will completely become a machine that uses a steam engine as energy. I will completely become the beast of this era-I am steam.

　　 I didn't want to do this, because the power gained in this way is too flawed. "

　　It should be said that the original energy acquisition method of the differential engine is too high-end.

"But now, you have repeatedly undermined my plan. I have not obtained a complete soul, but I have also obtained a soul; I have not fully obtained the identity of the lord of all machines, but I am also the master of all gear machines. Savior, I don't want to fight with you. If you are willing to join me now, I can give up transforming into a beast of calamity by fusing a prototype steam engine. You will also gain all my knowledge."

　　 "Are you threatening me? If I don't want to, you will immediately become a beast of disaster."

　　 "This is not a threat, this is a deal. After all, I immediately sublimate to a beast of disaster, and it is no good for anyone."

　　 In the hearth of the imitation of the prototype steam engine in front of him, the fire is still strong. The giant mechanical whale kept the posture of opening its huge mouth, but in the sound of the whale's call, the fumarole above its head continued to sow warm ashes toward the sky.

　　The fine gears rotate, and the hinges involve the continuous rise and fall of the heavy hammer. Only the steam engine remains unchanged, but it is it that drives the changes in all the brass-colored parts.

　　 He looked back at the church people:

　　 "What do you think?"

　　 Of course he can't join the other party. Even the church knows what a serious disaster it would be to let Miss Fabry be the helper of the difference machine. But if you disagree, perhaps the beast of calamity will break out soon, and now no one can guarantee that the savior can defeat the incarnation of calamity.

　　The beast of calamity is not a mortal thing, not even a deceitful thing. It is a monster born out of all the sins and all the destinies of an entire era that will end everything. A mortal is nothing in front of it, even if it is a savior, it is just a stronger mortal.

　　 "You won't join me."

　　The difference engine said what Jenkins thought at the moment:

"This is very reasonable. In my calculations, the probability of you rejecting me is more than 99%, because the limit is close to 1. Therefore, it can be considered that you will never agree. But I always think that mathematics is rigorous, since it is not 1. Then it is possible that you will be persuaded by me."

　　 "We have to believe in probability, and your persuasive skills are obviously not numerical enough."

　　 Jenkins said.

"Then the savior, I will complete the fusion of the prototype steam engine. During the fusion process, my control of the body is very weak, so I must complete the fusion in an absolutely safe place. That position cannot be reached by any conventional means, even any You can’t reach it by any extraordinary means. So, of course, you can’t choose to be deep underground. After my calculation, the church has a 72% probability that it can find a way into the deep underground within three days at any cost."

　　 is actually 100%, Jenkins knows some forbidden rituals... it can be called a forbidden technique, which is launched using the souls of hundreds of thousands of living people. That is forbidden by almost all churches, but if compared with the whole world, the church might make a choice.

　　 "Savior, do you know where I will fuse the prototype steam engine?"

　　 "At the top of the nine-story tower, in the depths of the last tower."

　　 He answered calmly.

"Yes it is."
