The Master of the Strange Realm

The energy core that emits light and heat is the steam furnace just now. It is the core of the whole weird thing, located in the center of the chest of the gear giant. With just the naked eye, you can observe the fiery red furnace light revealed from the gear and bearing seal.

This creation with great mechanical beauty is unimaginable even for Jenkins, a stranger from a foreign land. He never knew that when gears and bearings are spliced ​​in a chaotic way, they can show such charm.

This is harmony, this is everything, this is everything, this is sublimation, uncontrollable, Jenkins opened his mouth and said

"Praise..."

Chapter 1122 Chapter 1103 The sublimation of death and the evolution of the chain

Just saying a word, even without the cat hiding in the seaside hut reminding him, Jenkins automatically woke up. The full burst of life force was interrupted by this distraction, and the wooden tentacles that were originally at a disadvantage were swallowed up by the gear frenzy in an instant.

The bottom of the boat under his feet gradually changed from wood to metal, which meant that in the battle between life and machinery, Jenkins was already on the verge of failure.

"Am I not preparing to face an angel? What is this?"

Before coming, even though he had prepared for the worst, Jenkins did not expect that his final opponent would be a "Transformer".

"No, Transformers are at least silicon-based creatures under the materialistic worldview, and although they are powerful, at least they can be understood; the thing in front of him is an extraordinary creation under the idealistic worldview, the kind that will drive you crazy at a glance!"

He frantically thought about the strategy to deal with it in his heart, but even if he tried hard to output the spirit of life, he could no longer compete with the increasingly powerful gears.

Even without the weirdo doing it himself, the field effect passively generated by its appearance - the activation of the gears - had already defeated Jenkins.

No matter how much ability he has, and no matter how many times his spirit reserves are compared to those of the same level of gifters, he is not a god after all. There is no chance to fight with this unreasonable perpetual motion machine in front of him, and Jenkins' spirit is almost exhausted.

He looked back, and the Nolan city under the dark clouds was terribly quiet. But it can be imagined that the Orthodox Church must have noticed the situation here. He only needs to stop this monster from approaching the city for a few minutes, and he can break out of the siege with the speed of the unicorn.

"Okay, this kind of helpless situation is what I am best at dealing with!"

Thinking in his heart, he silently activated the purple light spot in front of him, which represents [Unknown Road Ahead].

The ability that has been saving Jenkins in his most critical moments since he came to this world has once again shown its effect. The purple thin line appeared in front of him, but it did not extend to the distance but pointed directly to his pocket.

Jenkins was stunned and quickly loosened his left hand holding the cane. When his palm touched the warm round ball in his pocket, the guidance of fate ended.

What he held was the red ball of ability from Skrull Pompeii's head. It had been placed in Miss Magic's place for research some time ago, but in the end even Miss Magic had to admit that this thing could not be studied.

Out of resistance to the power of death and its unpredictable ability content, Jenkins has never used this thing, but instead plans to find time to sell it in the form of barter. Unexpectedly, fate did not let Jenkins escape from it in the end.

Without hesitation, he followed the method taught by Mr. Hood and probed his spirit into the sphere. With a puff, the magic lady, who had tried many ways but failed to explore the sphere inside, broke like a soap bubble.

Red smoke like blood flew out of the sphere and rushed straight to Jenkins's head. The cold spirit and new knowledge belonged to Jenkins as the red smoke completely entered his body.

In an instant, the body temperature seemed to drop to 0 degrees, and the desolate and empty feeling filled Jenkins' heart. Endless phantoms of death appeared in front of him, and the name of Jenkins William was engraved on the clearest small tombstone.

As a bone claw stretched out from the grave behind the tombstone, the illusion disappeared, and a new ability light spot appeared in front of Jenkins [Bone Heart (Red Fighting)].

"Huh?"

This is not an ability that Jenkins has never heard of. On the contrary, the gifters who have a little knowledge know this ability. Just like the numbered items with the suffix [Heart] are extremely valuable, the abilities with suffixes such as [Heart] and [Player] are mostly comprehensive and powerful.

Just like [Player] completely improves any ability related to music, [Bone Heart] completely improves all abilities related to death. In addition, possessing [Bone Heart] will greatly improve one's resistance to abnormal mental states, the ability to resist soul control, and improve one's bone density and strength. When using rituals that require "bone", it can be used to cast spells without materials to a certain extent.

Acquiring this ability is beneficial to Jenkins, and [Bone Heart (Red Fighting)] is a rare all-round powerful ability without any threshold. Except that the way to obtain it has not been summarized by people so far, it has no disadvantages.

If you know that this ability is inside the ball before using it, then even if Jenkins wants to sell it for 100,000 pounds, someone may be willing to bid.

But the problem is that this ability is of no help to the current predicament. The slightly improved physical fitness and mental resistance obviously cannot allow Jenkins to compete with this huge monster that is constantly changing the basic laws around him.

"Huh?"

In just one second, Jenkins uttered this exclamation for the second time. It was not that the monster took the initiative to attack, but with the appearance of [White Bone Heart], the light spot that represented Jenkins' ability to contact the power of death [Contact Death (Red Martial Arts)] actually became illusory little by little.

Then a red aura bloomed in front of Jenkins' eyes, and stronger power sublimated:

[Contact Death (Red Martial Arts)] → [Embrace Death (Red Martial Arts)]

"What's this?"

A completely unheard of ability. The ability before transformation is the basis of the well-known death-type ability. Although the latter has a similar description to the former, Jenkins has never heard of it.

But judging from the current situation, this is still of no help to Jenkins in defeating the strange thing in front of him, or even resisting it for a short period of time until the power of the church appears.

"Huh?"

In just two seconds, Jenkins said this modal word representing doubt for the third time. The appearance of [Bone Heart] turned [Contact] into [Embrace]; and when [Contact Death] completely solidified, [Bone Heart] 】It actually became illusory.

"What is this going to do?"

The breath of death slowly seeped out from Jenkins' body, forming a solid gray fog that spread around him. The wood and metal around him, all that came into contact with this breath, all decayed as if they had experienced hundreds of years. baptism.

[Bone Heart] disappeared, and Jenkins only had it for less than a second. Then, a new power of death condensed out. This process was quite fast, as if the power of death belonged to Jenkins.

Chapter 1123 Chapter 1104 Bones and Gears

The emergence of [Bone Heart] promoted the evolution of [Contact Death], and the emergence of [Embrace Death] sublimated [Bone Heart].

Golden, red, and yellow lights flashed in front of my eyes in sequence, and the ability that emerged because of [Embracing Death] finally condensed into the light of the spell:

[Heart of Bones (Red Martial Arts)] → [Body of Bones (Yellow Conjuration)].

Unlike [Embracing Death] whose function he didn't understand at all, the moment [Bone Body] appeared, a message appeared in the Bone Holy Sword, and Jenkins immediately understood what it was.

"But, isn't this too exaggerated? And I'm not a villain."

He thought helplessly in his heart, jumped back suddenly with his cane, and completely gave up the idea of ​​continuing to compete with machinery with his life.

The moment he landed on the beach, he summoned the White Bone Holy Sword, still maintaining its original posture, with his feet slightly apart, holding the lower end of the sword hilt with both hands and inserting it into the ground.

The ancient mantra automatically came to mind. Jenkins took a deep breath and made up his mind, then began to recite the mantra in a language he could not identify. But fortunately, although the origin of the words cannot be identified, at least the meaning of the mantra is understood. Since life can't help machinery, he now chooses the power of death:

"Life and death are orderly, everything must die after birth; pay tribute to death, the bones are the body, and the living are all enemies!"

The sea surface was shaking violently, but this time it was not because of the aftermath of the gear's awakening, but as the spell ended, and wisps of black smoke connected to the bottom of the ocean.

This ability consumes very little spirit, which is not worth mentioning even for Jenkins in his current state. But this is an ability that consumes a lot of materials, and the materials consumed are naturally bones.

Countless skeletons flew towards Jenkins from the bottom of the sea, seduced by the call of the mantra and the Holy Bone Sword. These are bones washed from the depths of the ocean and bones made by humans offshore.

Under the soft seabed beach, the changes of the city and the rise of darkness buried countless poor and not pitiable people. Including the young man who was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Miss Lindsay during the psychic ritual incident, the bones and bone fragments buried on this coast for centuries all gathered behind Jenkins at high speed.

The spell is still going on. The cost of low spiritual consumption and high strength, apart from the consumables, is naturally a rather exaggerated length of spell.

In the recitation of the Lost Words, the withered and yellow bones spliced ​​together behind Jenkins. Skeletons from different identities, ages, and even different races blended together equally.

Starting from the feet, the white and huge skeleton was constructed in a very orderly manner by the huge group of flying skeletons in a very short period of time.

And when the huge gear creation that was already flying in the air fired the first metal tentacle at Jenkins' hand, the white bone giant behind him, who was almost the same height as the gear giant, roared and raised his white bone arms, declaring with a ferocious expression. His own appearance took a step forward amidst the sound that shook the ground.

Phew~

The metal tentacle directly destroyed the giant's right arm, but it was also caught by the giant. Densely packed metal tentacles continued to stretch out, binding the giant's body like a rope and pulling it towards the activated gear machinery flying in the air.

The giant roared and roared, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could only be dragged to the beach in vain, leaving two deep dents in the sand.

This is also unavoidable. The function of [Bone Body] is to call the bone materials around to splice into a bone puppet for fighting. In theory, this ability is suitable for use near the cemetery. Casting a spell consumes little spirit, and the more bone materials the giant is, the stronger it is, but driving the bone body still requires the caster to use spirit to maintain it.

Relying on the huge bone resources near Nolan's coast, Jenkins directly summoned this giant puppet, but in fact he could not exert the strength of the bone giant at all, after all, his current state is really bad.

But this is enough. The weak spirit maintains the continuous battle between the giant and the gear machinery. The battle between the two that should not have life seems to be the return of the mythical era.

Under the gloomy sky, the two giants waved their fists, and the collision of bones and gears produced a stream of fire. The roars of the two were like the return of ancient giants.

Jenkins took this opportunity to retreat quickly, picked up the cat who was watching the excitement and didn't want to leave, and flew to the sky on the unicorn.

Looking down from above, the bone giant was being torn into pieces bit by bit, but at the same time, the lightning-like trident shot out from the Ocean and Exploration Temple, carrying the power of the sea and the gods, and pierced the left chest of the steam giant like a light arrow.

Jenkins in the air breathed a sigh of relief, and finally looked back at the battlefield on the seashore, and then flew away with the cat without looking back.

This was probably the first time that the church sincerely thanked Nolan's fog, because of this fog, everything that happened on the seashore was not seen by the people in the city.

On the contrary, because of the tragic dock explosion last week, when the twin demons exploded for the first time, the people near the ship, which was now torn apart, had already begun to flee.

And when the tentacles of wood and gears penetrated the belly of the ship like huge iron nails, there was no one nearby.

The initial battle on the seashore was unknown. Although Jenkins was not sure whether the trident shot before he left killed him, at least the power of the church had arrived. Even if it could not destroy the newly born weirdo, at least it could control it from spreading its influence to nearby cities.

But when he returned to his original identity and walked towards the church with a bag of bread, Jenkins was still thinking about what the [Gear Craftsmen] had found underground.

There have been frequent earthquakes in Nolan City in the past six months, but most of them are not natural phenomena. Including the time when he went underground to reinforce the seal according to Mr. Pisco's "last words", if he hadn't turned into a mouse and was almost buried alive, most of the earthquakes in the past six months were caused by someone deep underground.

"But what is it? I think the thing that Mr. Pisco asked me to seal, which claims to be [A4 type calculation...], should know, but the passage has collapsed, and I can't contact it at all..."

Thinking in his heart, he looked up and turned into the street where the church is located. He looked up again in the direction of the pier, and the black aura of the weird thing had been suppressed.

"I know that even without me, the church can handle the trouble, but I just hope that this matter will not be blamed on the "believers of the God of Lies"..."

PS: The protagonist's ability has been updated.

In addition: Although the effect of the skeleton body is not very strong, it is a link in the prepared chain, not something the author came up with on the spur of the moment.

Chapter 1124 Chapter 1105 Saturday Dinner

Walking in the thick fog, the steps had to be slowed down a bit to prevent accidentally bumping into people while thinking seriously. Knowing that the monster at the dock had been subdued, Jenkins was not in a hurry to travel now.

Chocolate stood on Jenkins' shoulder. The cat lowered his head and looked at the paper bag Jenkins was holding. This was his excuse for leaving the church at noon, but the cat had to admit that the bread was really delicious.

His eyes seemed to be looking at the thick fog in front of him, but in fact he was observing the light spots of the ability. The meaning of [Embrace Death] was still unknown, but the Holy Sword of Bones clearly provided Jenkins with the information of [Bone Body].

This ability sounded like it was going to turn the user's body into bones, but in fact it was using spells to construct a bone body puppet.

According to Jenkins' understanding, this was an enhanced version of [Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique], but as long as the materials were sufficient, the strength of the skeleton puppet that could be summoned could even be comparable to those terrifying subspace seals.

"But the number of bones required is at least enough to dig out the tombs of the entire world."

Even if the conditions for use are strictly limited, it is indeed a very useful ability. The consumables for casting spells are determined by the strength of the summoning. To summon a skeleton puppet as tall as a human body, only a complete leg bone is needed, while a skeleton puppet twice the height of a human body requires half a skeleton, but if it is five times the height of a human body, a complete skeleton is needed.

And to summon a skeleton giant like the one just now, Jenkins felt that he seemed to have consumed all the bones buried near the coastline.

"Why think so much? At least this ability is really useful. Thank you, Skru Pompeii, your death is valuable."

Things always have two sides. Although the accidental acquisition of this ability is very timely, it still reminds Jenkins of the words of Mr. Augustus, who had transformed into the messenger of the god of death a few days ago:

"You are destined to embrace death..."

"But my soul's original ability is fate and life. I am destined to embrace fate and be blessed by life."

He said in his heart, not affected by this incident.

Sure enough, when I stepped into the church, I felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. When I saw Captain Binsi who was recovering from his injury, I heard from him what happened on the coast.

"What? I don't know at all. I just heard a few loud noises when I was on the street. What happened?"

He plays his role faithfully.

Captain Binsi, who was lying in bed and unable to leave the ward, didn't know much, but he at least knew that Miss Bevanna had gone out, and that the giant gear monster that appeared on the beach had not been eliminated, but was temporarily sealed.

Now that the city-wide search has been suspended, three of the five demigods stationed in Nolan went to the coast to seal the strange things.

The size of that thing is really exaggerated, and its regeneration ability is extremely strong. In addition, the church did not see the reason for its appearance, and did not even know what it was. It could only reluctantly guess that it was related to the missing gear craftsman.

"But someone saw a believer of the God of Lies, the believer who was suspected of possessing a skull sword. Clear evidence proved that he was fighting someone, and then the activated gear monster appeared, but we don't know who his opponent was. ”

Captain Binsey lamented, lamenting Nolan's misfortune.

If Jenkins hadn't said it, no one would have guessed that it was the work of the thief Devo. Divo never used his abilities during the confrontation. He only controlled gears that had nothing to do with him, and then escaped.

But Jenkins will not let him go like this. Now that it has been proven that the [Disease Curse] can effectively cause damage to Divo, he will use the remaining hair to increase the intensity and continue to cast the spell.

Although this may cause a new round of influenza to break out in Nolan, a flu with high transmission rate but low fatality rate is less threatening than a pirate king hiding several strange things.

(Chocolate Run...)

"That's what I thought about, so after leaving the church, I used the curse again. According to previous records and experiments, if an ability like [Disease Curse] is continuously used on the same target, the best interval between spells is Only once every three days can the effect be better. I think if I can cast the curse completely 5 times, and Divo has not found a good way to remove the curse, then he will probably be incapable of action even if he is not dead. "

Runn, Jenkins, who was heading to the banquet manor, said this to Alexia, with a confident smile on his face. He did not look like a person who was discussing releasing a plague in the city.

Alexia sat opposite him in a beautiful dress, quietly listening to Jenkins tell what happened today. The cat squatted next to Jenkins, still unwilling to put on a pretty pink bow or let Jenkins dress it in a small dress specially adapted to the pet's shape.

It was already Saturday night, and as agreed, Jenkins changed his clothes to attend Luen's dinner. He wanted to attend as Alexia's male companion, so the two of them rode a carriage from inside the city to the outside.

As for the host of the banquet, Dolores and her maid Julia, they had already left for the manor outside the city because they had to make all preparations in advance. According to Alexia, the manor was one of Dolores' private properties, not the royal family's assets. It was given to her by her mother and will be used as one of her dowry in the future.

"It's nice to have money."

Jenkins looked through the car window at the bustling manor hidden in the night, completely forgetting that he was also a wealthy man who owned shares in the mining industry.
