The Master of the Strange Realm

Switching the book to his left hand and holding the sword in his right hand, Jenkins jumped into the air and danced the spiral sword in the air. The flames on the sword were as dazzling as fireworks.

"Savior, you have the power of machinery, so what if it's not a machinery?"

Another brass-colored luster appeared in the air, and then, the fourth golden ant appeared in front of him. It hid this fourth ant and wanted to attack Jenkins at the critical moment, but it was still useless.

"Gear disease curse! Flu!"

The magic ability that obviously requires hair to be cast, but it only exerts its power with the touch of Jenkins' finger. The ant he touched suddenly made a coughing sound in the air - it had no vocal organs at all, and then it scattered into a pile of gears and fell, waiting for the other three sealed ants to revive it again.

"Savior, you have been deceived. How much power do you still have?"

The head laughed and hit Jenkins' sword head-on:

"I know I can't stop you at all, but how much power did you use to defeat me?"

The head gathered most of the power of this strange place, and collided with Jenkins who controlled the power of death, life and machinery.

This scene should have only appeared in the final battle, but it was shown in advance on the eighth floor.

The fiery red sword slashed down, and a loud explosion exploded into bright sparks in the air. Jenkins, who is almost a god but is not a god at the moment, uses the three delicately balanced powers to split open the gathering point of the power of the strange world.

When the two fell to the ground together, the metal parts of the huge head splashed everywhere, but they were still alive, stabbing Jenkins' body in vain.

He stepped on the ground and swung his fiery red sword under the dusky sky to sweep them away. When the fragments of the giant and Jenkins landed on the island in the middle of the river that had been almost wiped out due to the battle above, it The core has been exposed and fell among a pile of metal gears.

It's that metal head.

It's right. After this round of battle, the only abilities that Jenkins has left are [Unknown Road Ahead], [Grant of Knowledge], [Mechanical Dreams], [Empathy with Living Beings], and he used five of the six bubbles. There are five abilities in exchange.

After the [Four Seasons] and other abilities nurtured the [World Tree Seedling], he specifically asked the silver dragon to take him to the church, just to learn an ability at the cost of five blank bubbles as his father once said.

But even if he only has five abilities left, he doesn't care at all. The battle he just stood on the Iron World Tree allowed him to discover the possibility of the ultimate fusion of death, life and machinery. This will allow him to take the next, more critical step. step.

"Can you open the door now?"

Jenkins asked the smoking head, which lay on the blackened earth, surrounded by shards of metal. Hot black steam continued to emit from the surface of the head. There were some small particles in the steam, and I didn't know what they were.

"You are no longer human."

This is not an insult to Jenkins, but a statement of fact. The battle just now fully demonstrated that during the process of climbing the tower, not only the difference engine hidden on the ninth floor was making progress, but Jenkins was also making progress. Jenkins really is fundamentally different than when he entered the first level of the tower. This tower also tempers him, and what doesn't kill him will eventually make him stronger.

"Yes, so, are you going to let me split you open, or are you going to directly open the door to the ninth floor of the treacherous realm for me?"

The metal head tried to look up, but all it saw was Jenkins' dark shadow against a rainy sky. It never thought that it could stop the savior. At this moment, it had consumed that miraculous balancing power, and it was already satisfied.

It saw the shadow of the three-color giant tree dissipating behind Jenkins, and realized that this was not a power that could be used continuously in a short period of time. It also realized that in the decisive battle a few hours later, the savior would not be able to exert the kind of power just now. A swing of the sword can cut through the power of time.

It's quite satisfying, but still tries to interfere with Jenkins' thoughts at the end:

"Aren't you worried that our battle just now hurt the ordinary people in the shelter? The trees turned into powder, and you killed them all."

"There's no need to play such little tricks. How can there be anyone in this seal used to seal the beast of disaster? Those just now, including the ship and the metal city I saw and the land of steel you mentioned , are just phantoms transformed by the rules of the treacherous realm. I have experienced so many treacherous realms, can I still not be able to distinguish this? "

Retracting the spiral sword, Jenkins grabbed the human head with one hand and lifted it up. Instead of talking nonsense with it, he threw it onto the big book that symbolized the "Principle of All Opportunities".

In the last laugh of the head, it was "digested" bit by bit by the bronze book, and more knowledge about the difference engine also appeared in the book.

This human head claims to be the second most intelligent person under the Difference Engine, and it may be true. Jenkins could feel that the [Principle of All Machines] was being filled in, and felt that if he could absorb all the knowledge of the Difference Engine, then the [Principle of All Machines] would be enough to evolve into the true [Lord of All Machines].

He may actually obtain the priesthood [Machine] or [Gear] from this, thus becoming qualified to compete with the God of Creation, one of the true gods, in the priesthood field.

After digesting the human head, the power of the strange world was temporarily under his control. Life, death and machinery, three completely different forces, reunited in the body under the pressure of the strange situation, and the shadow of the giant tree behind him was imprinted into the soul.

The little residue of the power bestowed by the World Tree, the power of death in the strange world that sealed the beast of disaster, and the power of the differential machine in the metal head stimulated Jenkins's body and soul to further strengthen.

Chapter 2189 Ninth Floor

The calming of the power made Jenkins gradually return to his former calmness. He closed the book with a snap, and the bronze book dissipated, indicating that the opportunity to use [Theory of All Things] was over.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the island that had turned into scorched earth, looking up at the dim yellow sky that was about to disintegrate.

In a brief moment, he saw a lot and thought a lot. The three balanced powers made him only one step away from pushing open the "Gate of God" with his flesh, that is, becoming a god directly without relying on the power of the soul. This is what Alexia and Miss Audrey are pursuing, but Jenkins, a latecomer who has no intention of taking this path, has reached the end directly at this moment.

There are three ways to become a god, savior god, sin-bearing god, and opening up a new path to become a god. Jenkins has touched the door of two of them. In fact, it can be considered three. After all, in the world where Jenkins did not come, that Jenkins tried to bear all the sins.

When the power finally subsided, the body naturally shone with a golden color, but soon returned to its original state. Except for the soul that has become a divine soul, he has now completed everything, and everything in himself remains at the last threshold before becoming a god.

He will face the difference machine and the final challenge in this manner.

"Meow~"

The cat on the shoulder licked Jenkins' neck. The cat wanted to laugh, but held back. Now it is the only one left here. The cat will save everything next, and then let Jenkins know that it is very important to him.

Jenkins really laughed. He waved his hands towards the sky, and the water on the ground flew back. The sky that was about to break returned to calm, and the thick fog was shrouded again. The traces left by the battle returned to their original state as if time had gone back.

He was using the metal head as the last power of the controller of the strange world, restoring the strange world to its original state and fulfilling the mission of suppressing the beast of disaster.

When the power that did not belong to him was only the last bit left, he shook his right hand and took out the fiery spiral sword, and swung the sword into the air with this authority.

Amid the sound of glass shattering, the light trace of this sword split the space, allowing the white light door to appear.

He sorted out his backpack and put the magic sword on his back. He patted the cat and walked towards the last strange place.

When the journey reaches the end, especially when the end is an unknown destination, everyone will be nervous, including Jenkins.

When he stepped into the door on the river island, he thought about the countless possibilities he would encounter later, and even thought that he would be attacked by the differential machine as soon as he fell, or that the differential machine had already buried 35,000 tons of black gunpowder in the strange place, waiting for him to appear.

But when his feet stepped on the ground, he still looked very ordinary when entering the strange place.

This was a very stable landing, and he did not lie on the ground. Although the feeling of dizziness still existed, it was much better than before.

Jenkins thought that this was because he had developed resistance to it after continuously traveling through the strange place.

He stood on Fifth Queen's Avenue, not far from Dad's Antique Shop. It was probably a drizzling afternoon. Although the weather was a little gloomy, the surrounding light was still good because the dark clouds were not very thick.

The sound of rain falling on the ground was very pleasant. The ground was a little wet, but there was no accumulation of water. After all, it was just an ordinary drizzle that Nolan experienced.

There were some pedestrians on the road, but most of them did not hold umbrellas. They stood still there, or kept raising their legs and walking, or turned their heads to see if there was a carriage on one side of the street, or simply stood under the eaves of the shops on the street to avoid the rain.

This world seemed to have pressed the time pause button, and only the rain flowed normally with time.

"It's strange, it's Fifth Queen's Avenue."

The rain fell on the heads of Jenkins and Chocolate, and then slid to one side from their heads as if blocked by an invisible barrier. This was a skill for using the spirit, and Jenkins could do it easily.

He reached into his pocket and took out the eighth round coin, which was made of emerald. The front side had the emblem of the World Tree seedling, and the back side had the appearance of the bronze book.

He let out a breath to ease his mood. The cat was on his shoulder, and the backpack and sword were also there. The last adventure officially began.

Although the surroundings were not the usual dark and lightless environment, Jenkins had guessed that Nolan's familiar appearance would appear at the end of the strange world. This was not a very outrageous thing, so Jenkins temporarily treated it as an ordinary strange world, after all, the difference machine must have appeared at the end.

Generally speaking, the host of the strange world would appear not far away from the intruder, but looking left and right on the street, all of them were people whose time was suspended. So Jenkins walked a few steps to the door of Dad's Antique Shop, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and walked in.

Dingdang~

The familiar sound of the bell made Jenkins want to sigh. Of course, there was Dad in Dad's Antique Shop. He was sitting in a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, reading a newspaper, and remained motionless. There was a person standing behind the counter that should belong to Jenkins.

It was undoubtedly a mechanical gear man, with no skin covering its metal body, showing Jenkins its internal structure and the runes on its body without any concealment.

Its size and height are in line with the proportions of the human body. It doesn't look that scary. From an aesthetic point of view, it is in line with people's aesthetic concepts.

The color of brass is so dazzling under the lights of Dad's antique shop. Seeing Jenkins coming in, a stream of white steam spurted out from its shoulders, and then nodded to Jenkins:

"You are finally here."

Jenkins held the door with one hand and stood at the door without entering:

"Difference engine? Oh, it's an incarnation. I thought you would have the courage to appear directly in front of me."

He laughed. If the other party really dared to do that, then he must admit that this is a good opponent. But obviously, machines have no dignity. Even with an incomplete soul, the differential machine is still essentially a metal machine:

"Not now. If my core appears and talks to you directly, then no matter the sword behind you or the firearms tempered by fire in your backpack, they can destroy me."

"That's right. I happened to pick up a bullet in the ancient well of the ancient blood therapy town. This is my last resort to deal with you."

There was a skeleton, a set of blood collection equipment, several dice and this bullet in the well. Jenkins only took the latter two and buried the skeleton and the blood collection equipment.

The bullet itself is a very special numbered item of Lingguang.

Chapter 2190 Seven Tests

Jenkins took out the bullet in front of the gear man and pressed it into the magazine of the pistol forged from the furnace. Because the model of the bullet was known in advance, the furnace keeper was asked to match the bullet model when making this gun with the old materials of the furnace and the special alloy of the differential machine not long ago.

"This gun is made of an alloy of an ancient furnace, a demon's cocoon and you, forged with a special flame, and even because of the effect of the [Theory of All Things] ability, it has special damage characteristics for you and your creations."

Putting the gun on his waist again, as for whether Jenkins really used this bullet as a last resort, the difference engine and Jenkins actually had the same idea.

"It's indeed a good method, so before that, don't you want to hear the content of this strange land?"

"Content? How do you want to cheat?"

Jenkins asked while stroking the cat.

"This time it's not cheating. This time, except for replacing the host of the strange land, I didn't cause much impact here. Yes, this strange land actually existed inside Nolan's original clock tower. I didn't move it here. It's waiting for you."

This sentence turned out to be true.

"According to fate, it is waiting for us."

Jenkins corrected, and the gear man at the counter did not comment:

"So, do you want to hear the rules? I can guarantee that after you finish this strange place, you will definitely see my core. You don't have much time left. I have already reached the end of the action of integrating the mechanical heart and the original steam engine."

As he said, the metal fingers bent flexibly one by one, and the metal rollers between the knuckles were not awkward at all. It knocked on the table.

Chocolate on his shoulder looked at the counter, and then he saw the small pad that belonged to him. Because Jenkins hadn't been to Dad's antique shop for a long time, Chocolate hadn't seen this small pad for a long time.

"Then introduce the rules."

Jenkins thought about it and made a gesture of invitation.

"The scale of the strange world is roughly the entire area of ​​the real Nolan, and what we need to do is to visit seven different citizens separately, and you need to ask for different items from them."

"Asking? Restrictions?"

The gear man saw what Jenkins meant, and shook his head:

"No stealing, no robbery, and no force, induction, hypnosis, or deception. The other party must sincerely want to hand it over. They may ask you to complete some tasks, or just ask you to answer some questions."

"This is too uncreative. Compared with the first eight levels, there is nothing new. I thought that in the end, you could create more surprising rules."

"I said that I didn't change the rules here too much."

Jenkins shook his head and pointed outside the door:

"Then let's go?"

"No, there is no need to walk. The center of this strange world is in this antique shop. Starting from the antique shop, we can travel quickly in the city."

The gear man took out a folded Nolan travel map from under the counter, spread it flat on the counter, and motioned Jenkins to come forward to take a look.

He stepped closer to the counter, and his wet boots stepped out water footprints on the floor of the antique shop.

When he came to the counter, he saw seven red dots on the map. The gear man took out seven chess-piece-sized brass metal statues from under the counter and placed them on the seven red dots.

The seven statues were all human-like, representing the citizens of that location.

"So, William, where do you want to start?"

It asked.

Jenkins leaned over to check. The seven locations were not all in the city, but also in the eastern mining area of ​​Nolan and near the dock.

"Why not choose three from seven, but choose all?"

He asked, and the gear man certainly would not answer.

After thinking about it, now that it was the end of the journey, he simply did not consider gains and losses, but made a choice based on his own preferences.

First, I chose the one located in the noble manor in the southern suburbs of the city. The reason why I know it is a noble manor is that Jenkins was invited to attend a banquet there. The inviter at that time was a friend of Hathaway and Britney. Of course, that lady was also involved in the Night Manor incident and is now isolated in the church school in Beldiran.

"Then here."

Jenkins pointed to the red dot. The brass statue next to the red dot was a young woman in her twenties, elegant and intellectual. Her hands were put together in front of her, holding a plaid women's handbag together. She was wearing a dress whose color was unclear, women's short boots on her feet, and a soft hat with lace edges on her head.

"Are you sure it's this?"

The gear man confirmed.

Jenkins nodded and touched the cat on his shoulder, which was getting more and more excited for some reason:
