The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Didn't I tell you not to send anyone over there anytime soon?" When the senior priest of the Church of the Victims took Leo and Sylvia off the flying car, he walked out from the wall of the observation platform like a military camp. A mech sergeant yelled at the senior priest, then turned to look at Leo and Silvia, and said, "And you still send two ordinary people here, your lord pope Are you crazy?"

Although the other party was wearing a full-coverage helmet and couldn't see the expression and sight inside the head, it was not difficult to hear from the other party's tone that the mecha sergeant was extremely disdainful of Leo and Sylvia.

When the mecha sergeant was looking at Leo and the others, Leo was also looking at the mecha sergeant, and at the first sight he recognized from the opponent's huge body that the mecha used by the other party was once prosperous in the Earth Federation. Temporary Titan Mecha.

This once had the title of Federation Stone. Its armor is nearly twice as thick as ordinary mechas, and its shape is twice that of ordinary mechas. More than ten times the size of the mecha, coupled with the various weapons specially made to match such a huge energy output, the Titan mecha was almost a symbol of invincibility on the early land battlefield.

Almost every Federation mech pilot dreams of becoming a Titan mech pilot, but the Titan mecha has no suitable buffer device due to its limited size, and less than half of all the kinetic energy impact can be absorbed by the simple The cushioning device is consumed, and the remaining half of the impact force needs to be borne by the driver himself.

Therefore, every driver of a Titan mecha must undergo dehumanized body transformation. In addition to the transformation of the organs and body, there is also a transformation of the brain. It's even less human than a cyborg.

Therefore, in the early days of the Earth Federation, the people on Earth called the drivers of these Titan mechas demigods.

However, as the Earth Federation continues to extend into the universe, come into contact with various alien technologies, and master various war knowledge and technologies of alien civilizations, the Titan Mech, a powerful individual weapon, is also cumbersome and slow-moving. , and can only be used on land battlefields and other defects, and was eventually abandoned by the Earth Federation.

The last battle that the Titan Mecha participated in was the fortified battle of Sosden Star. In that battle, the name of the Titan Mecha as a demigod was completely shattered. The largest Titan Mecha team in the entire Earth Federation had nearly 400 Titan Mecha in the battle. Under the attack of the enemy's precision weapons, they became 400 live targets. In the end, less than 60 Titan mechs survived the battle.

After these Titan mechas were retired, forty well-preserved Titan mechas were bought by some folk mech admirers at a high price, and the remaining twenty were collected as war witnesses in major war museums. .

Although the Titan Mecha has huge flaws, it does not mean that it is really useless. It is just that it has not found a suitable countermeasure when facing the endless space war weapons of space civilization, plus the cost and driver training. And other problems made the Earth Federation completely abandon this weapon.

After all, the Titan Mecha used to have the titles of Federation Stone, King of the Land, and Demigod. The combat power of the mecha has naturally returned to its peak.

Thinking about a warrior with demigod-like combat power, it is inevitable that he will be proud and arrogant. In addition, Leo and Sylvia have not shown their strength. Standing in front of this ten-meter-high Titan mecha is like just now. As fragile as a newborn baby, at least on the surface, the attitude of this mech sergeant is naturally impossible.

Even from his address to Alice, it can be seen that even the Pope of the Church of the Sufferers is nothing more than that in his eyes.

The victim's senior priest who led Leo here seemed to know the character of this mecha sergeant. Although he was very dissatisfied with the tone and tone of this sergeant, he didn't express much, but said in a blunt tone: "These two This person was brought here by the Pope to observe the situation in the abyss, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can go directly to the Pope.” Then he turned to Leo and said: “This is Lord Tyrell, It is the chief sergeant of the front line, and he will then..."

"Kamp, Camp, where did you bloody guy go?" Before the senior priest could finish speaking, the Titan mecha sergeant yelled loudly, interrupting the senior priest's words.

"Here, here, my lord, I am here!" An ordinary mecha sergeant squeezed out from the crowd, and ran to the Titan mecha sergeant.

"These two guys will be handed over to you." The Titan Mecha sergeant pointed to Leo and Silvia, and then took his heavy steps, leading a group of mecha sergeants and the gods to leave this place. The observation platform, along the edge of the abyss, patrolled towards the next observation point.

The mech sergeant named Kemp made a gesture only for church believers to the victim's senior priest, and then said to Sylvia and Leo: "You two, please follow me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and led the way, regardless of whether Leo and Sylvia followed or not, he introduced the various facilities inside the observation point in a completely stylized manner.

Leo and Sylvia didn't say anything, just followed behind the mech sergeant and listened, and walked to the top of the observatory under his leadership.

"Crazy Families." After going up a few floors, Sylvia suddenly whispered next to Leo, then gestured to the inhuman Families around, and added: "God descends."

I don't know whether the inhuman form of these family members is the result of mutation, or whether they are inhuman beings themselves. In short, none of these family members are in human form, and these family members seem to have no intuition for external things, even the leader of the mech sergeant As two strangers, Leo and Sylvia, walked past them, they didn't pay more attention to them.

However, this does not mean that these family members have no activities. In fact, they are doing one thing all the time, and that thing is to recite the holy names of the gods in their own ways.

Although Sylvia is not as sensitive to the energy fluctuations around him as Leo is, she can still feel the special power aura produced by these family members.

Sylvia has served in the Orthodox church for a long time, and has also spent a lot of time in various churches. She is very familiar with the division of believers in each church. In her memory, only fanatics can only read the Holy Spirit. One can communicate with God and obtain divine blessings, and fanatics in the church also have the title of God's descending vessel.

Compared with other believers, fanatics are more likely to accept the presence of the spirit consciousness, and their resistance consciousness is almost zero, so the power that can be exerted when the spirit is possessed is also the greatest.

However, this is not without its drawbacks. In fact, because the fanatics will accept all the powers of the descending gods without resistance, many times the fanatics will be burned alive by the power of the gods before the completion of the descending ceremony. If it succeeds, the time for the spirit to be possessed is also very short, maybe only a few seconds, and then the fanatic's body will collapse.

Therefore, when the gods choose the object of the gods, they usually choose the more stable gods, not the fanatics. After all, there is no god who wants the believers to see that the object of their belief has just descended. Burned to ashes.

However, now that there are so many fanatics gathered in this observatory, and they are fanatics who have instilled a lot of divine power in their bodies, then this matter is obviously not that simple.

A scene emerged in the minds of both Sylvia and Leo. When the abyss tide appeared and a large number of abyss monsters appeared, these fanatics rushed into the enemy line without hesitation under the instructions of their gods of belief, and then As the god descending ceremony began, they exploded like bombs one by one, and the powerful divine power tore apart everything around them.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but glanced at each other and smiled wryly. They both felt that this seemingly extremely sturdy observation platform was extremely dangerous no matter how they looked at it.

The group of three soon arrived at the top floor of the observation tower, which was not an open-air terrace, but a closed room.

Just when Sylvia was about to ask the reason of the mecha sergeant, some images immediately appeared on the surrounding walls. These images are all images of the abyss taken from various angles. Fewer detectors.

It's just that although these detection devices are of the level of astronomical detection satellites, the black oil mist constantly emerging from the abyss makes these detection devices lose their effectiveness, and everything that can be seen is a piece of blackness.

"Do you usually observe this thing?" Sylvia couldn't help but question when she looked at the indistinguishable black images around her.

"Yes." The mecha sergeant nodded, and then added: "We will regularly record these images and send them to the Bachelor's Society, and the Bachelor's Society will compare these images with previous records to find changes in the entrance of the abyss. "

"Can this compare to anything?" Sylvia questioned this.

However, at this moment, Leo looked at the image in front of him with a serious expression, which seemed to have no change, and did not speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Sylvia asked suspiciously when she saw Leo's abnormality.

"Don't you feel it?" Leo turned to look at Sylvia and said, "He is watching us."

"Him?" Sylvia was stunned, and looked at the image projected on the wall, but no matter how she looked, she didn't find anything unusual.

Leo didn't intend to explain this, because he couldn't see anything abnormal just by looking at it with his eyes, but he could clearly feel that something was staring at him in the fog, and this kind of staring was piercing The images captured by the detection device acted on him.

Leo originally thought this was just his own illusion, but he found that the power of the abyss contained in the crystal snake in his arm was boiling and rolling. If it was not suppressed by other forces, this power from the eyeball of the big snake in the abyss might have already run to Here comes the outside.

"Let's go! We don't need to stay here anymore." Leo suppressed the power of the abyss in his arm, and turned to Sylvia and said.

Sylvia sensed Leo's abnormality, and without asking any further questions, she motioned for the mech sergeant to take the two of them away.

The three walked downstairs one after another, with Leo at the end, and the sensor in the room on the top floor sensed that the person had left, and was about to turn off the image projected on the wall, but Leo seemed to feel something at this time, He suddenly turned his head and looked at the wall behind him. He only saw a slender figure flashing past in the black oil mist at the moment when the image on the wall was about to disappear, and then the detection image was completely turned off.

Leo froze for a moment, then turned around and continued walking downstairs.

At this time, Sylvia also felt Leo's reaction just now, looked at Leo, but did not ask, but continued to follow the mech sergeant to the lower floor as if nothing had happened.

Soon a few people returned to the bottom floor.

The senior priest of the Church of the Victims who was waiting outside the detection platform was a little surprised to see Leo and Sylvia walk out of the detection platform. In his opinion, the two of them should have stayed in the detection platform for a while, but now they He walked out so quickly, which made him a little puzzled what Leo and Silvia were here for.

Although he was puzzled by the inexplicable behavior of Leo and Sylvia, he did not dare to ask further questions. After all, judging from the previous situation, the relationship between the Pope and these two people was unusual. He speculated that the two might be related to the Belmont family, and in Lanxi City, the Belmont family was definitely a taboo existence. No matter good or bad, the less you know, the better.

"What did you discover just now?" Sylvia asked in French on the way.

Leo recalled the scene he saw, and said, "The abyss snake."

Sylvia was taken aback when she heard that, then turned her head to look in the direction of the entrance of the abyss. After a while, she turned back and said with some doubts: "Is it possible that I saw it wrong? I didn't feel anything. .”

It's no wonder that Sylvia has such doubts, because the blood of the abyssal dragon and the abyssal serpent on her body can be said to be sworn enemies. If there are really abyssal serpents active nearby, she must be able to feel it.

Leo thought about it for a while, shook his head, and said, "I'm not mistaken, it's indeed an abyssal serpent," he hesitated again, and said, "But I always feel that something is wrong?"

Sylvia didn't know what to ask when she heard the words, because she didn't feel anything, but she also felt that Leo had misunderstood or had an illusion, so she relieved: "It doesn't matter anyway, Since he appeared at the entrance of the abyss at this time, then he will definitely appear in the abyss tide after that, and we will know if you read it wrong."

"That's the only way to go." Leo smiled and nodded.
