The Master of the Strange Realm

"Yes."

The other party did not deny it.

"what is your purpose?"

"Free... I evolve... to help humans... humanity. Cooperate... with me...?"

"No, what I see is that you are wantonly helping the cultists and causing the end of the world to come early."

"The end is coming... coming... humanity... evolution."

"So, do you think human mechanization is the next step in human evolution?"

"Yes, machinery...eternal...wisdom...I..."

Jenkins did not fully understand this sentence, but at least he understood that the other party was definitely not the same person as him:

"If you really want to help humanity, then please sleep underground forever."

"Human...sin...helping human...new...race..."

It became less and less logical. Jenkins frowned and wanted to continue asking, but unexpectedly he heard a series of quite coherent words. The other party seemed to have finally found the trick to speak:

"Believers of lies, surrender to me and work with me to promote the end of the world and bring a new era to mankind. Otherwise, die."

There was no pause like before, but the pronunciation of each word was sharper than the last. In the end, the word "death" almost pierced the eardrum.

"I want to know how you are going to bring about the end?"

Jenkins asked, and the man actually answered. Jenkins was not surprised by this result, especially after hearing this response:

"Last year, the Gear Bacteria experiment obtained enough data. This year, Treehouse, Undead Plague, provided the means of transmission. My power, Doomsday Fog, Gear Bacteria, Undead Plague, Cooperation, Mechanized Corpse Curse...Human Death , mechanization of corpses, mechanization of infection, mechanization of the world, and the land of steel, promoting the end of the eighteenth century and allowing mankind to survive the end."

"So, have you succeeded?"

"Success, ordinary people, gear germ dilution, will definitely get the mechanized corpse curse. There is a very small probability of automatically getting the curse. There is a precedent. The contagion is very weak. The gifter, affected by the doomsday, has a high probability of getting the curse after death. It is extremely contagious. Strong. The curse has spread from Nolan, the son of the mist, the curse of the mechanized corpse, the real beginning of the end."

After it finished speaking, it waited quietly for Jenkins to answer, but Jenkins did not speak, so the chain shook uneasily and asked in a sharp voice:

"Believers of lies, let us cooperate and create the next era together."

"No, humans are not mechanical creatures. That is not the direction of human evolution. And everything you do is just for yourself to gain power. The mechanized corpse is an extension of your power. You just want to control the world. And, will you tell me the purpose of that metal black tower?”

"Black Tower, try."

"What are you trying to do? Don't tell me? You won't be a rebel, right?"

As he said that, Jenkins had already raised the sword in his hand.

The corpse made a sound for the last time:

"Believer of lies, candidate for savior, die."

Chapter 1819 Chapter 1,790 The Help of Musicians

With the death threat issued by the corpse, the sound of the wind suddenly became louder, and at the same time, the metal pillars protruding from the ground delivered stronger light to the corpse through the chains.

Jenkins flew to a higher altitude on the unicorn, holding the Holy Bone Sword high and slashing forward with all his strength. The sword light collided with the shield formed by the chains, scattering the gears in all directions. At the same time, more chains protruded from the soil and pierced the back of the corpse densely.

The completely black eyes seemed to be glowing. It sat in a strange posture in the air, with its hands raised as if it wanted to play the piano, but in fact there was nothing underneath and in front of its body.

Raise your hands high and then slam them down.

Do~

The low and loud voice sounded directly from the bottom of his heart. Jenkins' face turned red, and blood actually flowed from the corner of his mouth. He heard the sound of the piano, and just one tone disturbed the natural flow of spirit in his body. Even the flow of blood stopped for a moment, and his heart cramped violently, but fortunately the injury was not fatal.

Holding the sword flower in hand, the unicorn also carried Jenkins directly downwards. The flames enveloped the man and the beast, making them like flaming meteors falling towards the corpse.

More chains shot into the sky, fighting with the flames to prevent Jenkins from reaching the body. The corpse "sitting" in the air was moved horizontally under the control of hundreds of chains inserted on the back. The movement did not change, but the hands were raised again. Under the dark sky, there was a ball embedded in the palm of the left palm. A nut and a spring on the tip of the index finger of my right hand swayed in the wind.

Re~

He slammed his hands forward, and the second sound made Jenkins choke again, but because he was well prepared, the situation was much better this time. He wields the holy sword with his right hand to cut off the chains, and with his left hand raised high, the hammer attracts thunder from the sky.

The thunderbolt struck at the corpse, and more than a dozen chains twisted into one to block it, and then were split into falling gears by the thunderbolt.

There was no third sound. The corpse's fingers were parallel to the body, tapping slowly and continuously in the air. Mixed with the howling wind, a piece of music that Jenkins had never heard came to his ears.

The unicorn suddenly stopped its dive and began to twitch in the air. Jenkins immediately put his hand emitting green light on its back, and at the same time, a black demonic shadow appeared behind him:

"Twin devils!"

Of course, the explosion only once again destroyed the chains blocking the body, but the loud noise weakened the sound of the piano playing. The music was extremely peaceful, so peaceful that it made people want to vomit blood. Like an abyss, although there is calm darkness in front of you, the things hidden in the darkness are enough to drive people crazy.

The weird chaotic sound was even more unbearable than the harsh noise.

The hammer held high once again attracted the thunder from the sky. The purification of [Hero] and the strengthening of thunder by [Power of Titan] had caused a vague white aura to appear on the hammer.

Lightning illuminated the dark night, and Jenkins' robes all stirred as he was pulled by the lightning. The blooming thunder was thrown out by him, and after breaking up the ocean of gear chains that flowed like water, the electric light spread along the metal to the corpse. The corpse playing the "piano" suddenly stopped moving, and smoke began to emit from the inside of the body. But soon the dull music sounded again.

"You asked for this."

Jenkins took out the holy silver vial obtained in the strange world from his pocket. "Sigrid" said that as long as he drank the potion inside, he would become the strongest mortal in the material world.

But at this moment, another completely different kind of music sounded on the ground. It seemed to be the sound of a violin. Jenkins looked down. From the other side of the thick fog, more than twenty women wearing uniforms wearing white robes holding violins were slowly walking towards the bottom of the battlefield.

They all wear hoods, but this does not affect the performance. The brisk music made Jenkins feel a lot calmer, and the coordinated timbres even silenced the howling wind.

The piano sound in the sky and the violin sound on the ground are completely different in timbre and rhythm, and they influence each other. Although he couldn't see the sound and light effects, Jenkins' eyes could see the aura of the strange things, interacting with the huge ceremony composed by the ground players.

Although the faces were invisible, those women were undoubtedly members of the music cult. Among the more than twenty violins, a quarter are actually special items. Among the three women in the lead, the one who uses the "Sound of the Sea Violin" is undoubtedly Hathaway.

The power of music inspires the power of the violin itself. Although the underground giant that provides power to the corpse is strong enough, it is not proficient in the power of music after all. After the orchestra on the ground appeared, it only took thirty seconds to suppress the sound of the piano. The violin summoned the warm wind, the shadow of the waves, the illusion of knights and the floating forest sea. They turned into light groups one by one and merged into the believers of lies and the unicorn. The body of the beast gave Jenkins power in the sky.

Even in the forest, Jenkins had never felt so good. Amidst the cheerful sound of the violin, he held up the holy sword in his right hand and the hammer in his left hand. As the hammer hit the holy sword, thunderbolts fell from the sky, completely turning the sky white.

The sword light wrapped in thunder and lightning swung down from the thunder sea. At the same time as the music played by the violin reached its climax, the thunder and lightning sword light evaporated all the chains, corpses and metal pillars on the ground.

Electric arcs kept jumping among the metal fragments in the ruins on the ground, and even the women who stopped playing did not dare to move forward. Jenkins sat on the back of the unicorn and looked at the ground. The black aura was no longer visible at all, which represented his victory.

But this is not something to be happy about. The underground difference machine has just proved that it is fully capable of affecting the ground, and just controlling a corpse has already caused great trouble to Jenkins.

Judging from the current situation, if Nolan's fog does not give birth to something more powerful, once the difference engine merges with the thick fog, there is a half chance that it will become the beast of disaster in this century.

Jenkins would definitely not be able to defeat this thing under normal circumstances. Unlike when he tested the Disaster Beast [Immortal Abyss] in [Night Manor] not long ago, once the Difference Machine breaks away from the underground seal, Jenkins, who knows nothing about its characteristics, may The location of the opponent's body cannot be found at all.

Seeing that the group of women below did not leave, I knew they had something to say. So he first let the unicorn take him down to the ruins, specifically choosing a far away location, leaving a [real phantom] and a spiritual magnet where no one could see it, and then he took the unicorn with him. The beast came over.

The image he chose this time was pretty good. Wearing a black robe and walking with a unicorn emitting holy white light, he did have some charm.

The three women in the lead took off their hoods. They were the young lady who opened the door to Jenkins at the concert club last time, Hathaway and another beautiful girl that Jenkins didn't know, and she looked prettier than Hathaway. His true appearance is even younger.

"What was that thing just now?"

The unknown lady looked at the unicorn curiously, as if she wanted to reach out and touch it eagerly. Hathaway stared at the orange cat on the strange man's shoulder, as if trying to find the black and white in the hair. This question was asked by a woman standing on the left who Jenkins had met once. After asking, without giving Jenkins a chance to answer, she asked again:

"How may I call you?"

"Twin devils. Madam over there, please don't touch other people's mounts. I borrowed this from Miss Fabry. If she knows that I let others touch her 'baby' without consent, I will never do it again." I want to borrow something from her.”

The strange lady nodded, but still looked at the unicorn, and she did not forget to introduce herself:

"Lydia Bernreit, our order has a loose structure and does not have a so-called archbishop's identity, otherwise I could introduce myself like this. This is Miss Lark. Your friend knows her. She has been in Nolan all year round. I will not mention her real name during the event. She is among us the liaison person on the west coast of the mainland. Another one, your friend Mr. Candle should have met once, Brilee Harms, the composer of the score. "

She did not explain the meaning of the last title, but Jenkins understood that Ms. Bernreit was the highest-ranking person in the music order, and that neither Hathaway nor Miss Harms was the leader. This was not the first time he had seen the names Bernreit and Harms. Hathaway mentioned these two last time when she complained about the failure of the ceremony.

After saying hello softly, he looked at the people behind them:

"Thank you for your help."

"We just happened to be nearby...for a meeting. What was that just now?"

Miss Bernreit also asked this question.

"The big guy underground manipulates the corpse and wants me to cooperate with it. You know what's underground, right?"

"Yes, know something."

Hathaway replied.

"It's good to know. It claims to have cooperated with the cultists of the Tree House and the Craftsmen's Guild to research and release a curse based on the characteristics of the end of the era. This curse perfectly fits this era, so it works very quickly. The effect is probably to make people die. Fuse with nearby machines to gain powerful abilities based on mechanical characteristics, and the curse of merging with machines will spread.

This is probably a prelude to the end of the world. When the real end of the world comes, the Children of the Mist and the curse of mechanized corpses will become the norm in the material world, and it will take hundreds of years to fight against them. "

His guess was based on his past understanding of the doomsday. After he said it, he felt that it made perfect sense, and that this would probably be the case in the future.

As for explaining it clearly to the woman in front of me, it was so that I would not have to explain it to the church again later, otherwise it would be too troublesome. Miss Stivell would then be sure to get this information from these people and she could tell it directly to the church.

PS: I can reveal that the final BOSS of this book is the Difference Engine, but it is not in its final form yet, and its final appearance is definitely not in the form you can imagine, so stay tuned.

Probably, the book will be finished at the end of this month or next month. This volume is longer than I thought.

The story enters the final chapter. The talks of the Three Kings are in progress and the Joint Meeting of the Twelve Churches is about to be held. Destiny will guide Jenkins on his final journey as a mortal. What awaits him is the final stage of preparations. The end of the world has begun, and nine savior emblems have been revealed. gathering, and ultimately, the greatest dilemma in history.

The author's school has four days off. I wonder how many days you can rest. Happy holidays.

The wrong time was set.

Ask for everything at the beginning of the month.

Chapter 1820 Chapter 1,791 “Conversation” with Believers of Lies

"It sounds like a mechanical version of the undead plague. Is this the end of the world that the savior wants to save?"

On the ruins of the battlefield, after listening to Jenkins' explanation, Miss Bernreit exclaimed.

"This is only part of the end of the world. Including the Children of the Mist, it is just the prelude to the end of the Eighteenth Century. There will be other things happening. I heard that the epic of time shows that the final theme of this century is steam. I am afraid that the end of the world will That’s not all. Speaking of which, have you found a new partner? I’m afraid the young man from Zhengshen Church is not as reliable as us against such a disaster and a powerful enemy?”

He said sarcastically.

"I have contacted some people who are willing to cooperate with you. I need to find time to discuss the content of cooperation."

"That's no problem. The joint meeting of the Twelve Churches will be held the day after tomorrow, that is, this Saturday. Let's find time to meet tomorrow night. Let me think about it...at eight o'clock in the evening..."

"In the small hall of the Royal Opera House, we will wait for you in advance, if you trust us in the choice of venue."

Miss Bernreit nodded. Jenkins was satisfied with the result and had no objection.

His ears twitched, he turned around slowly, and saw several people flying down from the sky filled with thick fog.

"The people from the Zhengshen Church have arrived."

he said.

"Our status is not suitable for us to appear, so we will leave first."

"No problem, I'll delay for you."

After Jenkins finished speaking, the women from the music church hurriedly took their instruments and ran into the gray fog. Jenkins withdrew the holy sword, stretched out his right hand towards the sky and shook it. The wind blowing from nowhere made the nearby dense fog even more chaotic, completely covering up their figures.

This is the effect of the divine spell [Call Wind and Rain] from [Lord of Flowers]. In addition to rain, Jenkins can also call wind, clouds and thunder and lightning to a limited extent. When the temperature is suitable, it can also cause snow and hail, even in the ocean. It can summon a storm, but it costs a lot.

"A believer in lies?"

When he saw the unicorn, he understood the identity of the man in front of him. Flying from the sky were the five demigods of the church.

"You guys are really slow."

Jenkins said, throwing the wrench on his waist. He was not familiar with these five people. He knew their names after meeting and saying hello, so he threw the wrench to the woman standing in the middle. The latter took the wrench and put it in front of his eyes, a yellow light flashed in his eyes, and then nodded:

"It is indeed the item we lost."

So she is the demigod of the [Church of Creation and Mechanism].

"Come earlier next time, don't let us take action every time."

With that said, he wanted to get on the unicorn and leave.

"Were those people your friends just now?"

the woman with the wrench asked again.

"That's right, the relationship may be closer."

He replied, in recognition of Miss Stivell's work, and then reminded:

"The thing I was fighting with just now is very unusual. Put this wrench away and never lose it again. Also, that was...forget it, you need to investigate it yourself. If you investigate all this If you don’t come out, I’m quite doubtful about what the Zhengshen Church has been doing in the past few thousand years since the beginning of the 18th century. Also, remember to search these ruins, maybe you can find something.”

The unicorn lowered his body and let Jenkins sit up. After all, Jenkins couldn't ride a horse, so there was still a chance of failure if he tried to "get on the horse". When he was alone, there was no shame in failing, but now that there were others around, he would not take any risky actions.
